[It's very early in the morning, but Jagger sounds wide awake.]

Did anybody else feel that?

[It's a brief question, his tone urgent. He's also not offering any details, because he's wondering how many know what he's talking about.]

Comments

[skyward_eyes]

So much easier to own them. They’re cathartic.

[asthecroweflies]

But not enough to deal with the issues, yeah?

[skyward_eyes]

What issues? No issues. Only punching.

[asthecroweflies]

[He chuckles and the comment is light.]

You need therapy, mate, maybe some breathing exercises.

[skyward_eyes]

Yeah I lost access to my therapist two worlds ago.

[asthecroweflies]

Maybe you should shop around. [It's spoken light-heartedly, though.]

[skyward_eyes]

Maybe I should. Or maybe I should punch things.

[asthecroweflies]

As long as they're things that need punching, that's probably not a problem.

[skyward_eyes]

I would never strike something that didn't need it.

[asthecroweflies]

Then I guess it comes down to who gets to choose who needs it, yeah?

[skyward_eyes]

I’m sure my boss will tell me. In the mean time, there is always more kobolds.

[asthecroweflies]

Your boss?

[skyward_eyes]

I work for Captain Khannar.

[asthecroweflies]

[That gives him a moment's pause.]

Yeah? Well, to give myself a shameless advert, if the Guard needs a consultant, it's what I did back home.

[skyward_eyes]

Consultant on what sort of matters? The offer matters on that. I mean, we’ve already got an investigation agency that works with us. But I expect we can do other things.

[asthecroweflies]

[He hesitates for a moment, because he's so used to hiding it.]

Well, I'm psychic. I'm pretty good at figuring things out.

[skyward_eyes]

Oh, sort of like Syeira? Could be interesting. But you’d have to bring it up to the Captain yourself.

[asthecroweflies]

Not...exactly like Syeira, no.

[skyward_eyes]

Interesting. Exactly like what then?

[asthecroweflies]

When I touch things, I can look at their histories, where they've been, who's touched them, what they used them for.

[skyward_eyes]

Well now that is a useful talent!

[asthecroweflies]

It causes a lot of problems but yeah, I've gotten some use out if it.

[skyward_eyes]

Problems? That would make my job so much better. I sorta envy it.

[asthecroweflies]

Except for all the memories, no matter how traumatic, becoming yours. That's a fairly large negative.

[skyward_eyes]

Wait, you retain them?
