un: absterge

( 'lo, from the depths of the Mouse House, post-Unwinding: )

If... this were no dream. The child of the rains, bearing a vulpine mask. 'Hyang-Won' and his pale protector.

He is remembered? He did not appear as the other manifestations.

Though we have retrieves ourselves, we cannot abandon a child to nightmares.


( Guilt is strong among exorcists. )

I detested him.

[traaaaaash]

right? me too

there's a possibility here that he's not what he seems but we should probably check

[downswing]

I am no slayer of children.

[traaaaaash]

i said CHECK not KILL sheesh

[downswing]

The pale man with him. Defender or captor?

[traaaaaash]

kinda hard to tell from such a brief encounter

[downswing]

And yet we must.

[traaaaaash]

eh guess we'll see when we get there

[downswing]

You are unconcerned.

[traaaaaash]

i just figure that's the only option we have anyway

[downswing]

Wrathion offers alternative.

[traaaaaash]

yeah? like what?

[downswing]

That we seek a version of this child among the living.

[traaaaaash]

yeah i just read that

kinda makes sense what he says i guess

i mean we don't know what the heck that unwinding thing was or how to get back there

time for research?

[downswing]

And delay?

[traaaaaash]

kinda depends. is trying to just wing it gonna delay us any less?

[downswing]

You would abandon him.

[traaaaaash]

well if we don't find a way to actually GET THERE that's what we're inevitably gonna do

[downswing]

...we cannot abandon him.

[traaaaaash]

yeah so we gotta have a strategy of some sort


[ Boy. Logic. Simple logic. ]

[downswing]

Undeniable.

The strategy cannot be to wait unduly.

[traaaaaash]

i wasn't saying that

now if we could stop arguing about semantics and come up with an actual plan, that'd be great

[downswing]

I have inquired of those with magic.

[traaaaaash]

so? anybody got an idea? 'cause i got squat.

i used to have a portal, but that was between the boiling isles and the human realm

and since it got destroyed, it's mostly been my student/child who's been working on creating another

[downswing]

Some yet appear to control 'portals.'
