[ empatheias ] message box

Alvin will have acquired his own little carrier pigeon to send messages, so he'll have one stationed at the main carrier pigeon place that will come and find him.

In the meanwhile, this is the entry for any private messages that are delivered via the carrier pigeon system.

People and the Arehtei, especially the latter.

[gottacatch]

Whenever they're feeling up to it again... do you know if anyone's ever been able to get through to Sosyne? Even Daimonia couldn't.

[ oh, hold on ] Well, there was that one person... ...whatever her name was.

[opportunitycosts]

[A small curious tilt of the head.]

One person? A girl? [He said "her" so...] Got a description?

[Alvin do you know every girl in town already—]

[gottacatch]

[ His brows furrow, a look on his face like he's thinking of somebody he's not keen on that's gone as soon as it's comes. Let's think... ]

She's older than me, but not as old as you. She has ginger hair about this long [ a gesture, level to his chin ] and freckles all over her nose, and she wears big rectangular glasses.

[opportunitycosts]

Hmm... Freckled ginger that looks like a nerd. [Alvin that's not polite.] Don't think I've really talked to her, but I think I've seen her around.

[gottacatch]

I don't know her name [ and if he should, he doesn't remember it ] but we've met twice. The second time was out around Lake Niras to try and speak to Sosyne. She said that...

[ okay, give him another second. ] ...something about Sosyne being too scared to let go of her anger, and... how she wants to see something done. [ A brief sympathy crosses his face remembering that, until he shakes his head. ]

I don't remember everything, but she talked about it with another guy. Daimonia said too that Sosyne was spending most of her time cleaning up the lake and healing the creatures in it when she wasn't too mad.

Oh yeah, and throwing the junk she cleaned up at people who bugged her. [ Very important. ]

[opportunitycosts]

Too scared to let go of her anger? [That's...new.] I was under the impression that the Arehtei wouldn't want the negative emotions. That's a twist.

But sounds like Sosyne is more of an environmentalist. Interesting.

[gottacatch]

I mean, it'll be better to talk to her than take my word for it. I've never talked directly to Sosyne myself. I went there to check on the other creatures in the lake.

[ ah! ] But that woman who looks like your head chef was there too. Milla? Maybe she knows more.

[opportunitycosts]

We have two Milla's. Did she have a bit of green hair at the top or without? [Motions with his hand.]

[gottacatch]

[ A nod, and he points up where the hand goes. ] The one with it, that one! She was the one there.

[opportunitycosts]

Ah. That would be our "Cool" Milla, different from the one who works at the restaurant.

[gottacatch]

..."Cool" Milla?

[ ?? Is he insulting his own partner here, or- ]

[opportunitycosts]

Yep. "Cool" Milla and "Spicy" Milla.

[Take a guess.]

[gottacatch]

[ ... ]

That's weird. Does chef Milla like that?

[opportunitycosts]

Oooh you better believe she doesn't. [But he's laughing, anyway.] Well, not like I say it to her face.
