You've reached Joshua Kiryu. I'm afraid I can't take your call right now, so feel free to leave a message.

I've known for a while. I didn't know you meant her until recently and then things got bad and then I received some inside info and now here we are. Half-sylph and fully dangerous.

You really don't think they were written somewhere? They have to be. There has to be record somehow but...I mean the Drabkeeper's library burned. Other places and people have been destroyed. Someone's gotta have information stored somewhere else, don't these guys believe in back-ups?

So what exactly are you suggesting, that we work among ourselves but keep an eye out for ways to work around the restrictions? Isn't that what we're already doing? I'm done being blindsided, I'm always going to look out now.

And I don't like the idea of making it temporary, personally. What if it disappears when you need it most? What if your friends don't recognize it either because it changes too much? It's not total protection but it's our best bet for now.

"This requires investigation?" And you're telling ME not to be rash? If I'm not allowed to act on my own, neither are you! Any of you! I'm being perfectly cautious and...look. I'll be fine. You're the one with the crazy angel powers and everything. I think you're more likely to be a target than I am. I'm just...me.

So seriously. Wanna talk about not being rash? You've gotta be more calculative than ever.
zerotohiro: (That's a thought)

Total shame, right? I constantly feel like we’re going backwards. Do I know these connections, too?

But why would that information be completely lost on purpose? I can buy that people tried. I can buy that they kept it from the public but someone HAS to know. Somebody has to know so that they can bring out the same power when they need leverage…kinda like now. That’s what I want to find. I need THAT information.

I AM calm. And I know that’s what they want us to do, and I know we have to play their game but…it’s only a matter of time before we’re pushed back together. It’s gotta be that way. It doesn’t make sense otherwise.

I would only tell a few people in the first place, but like I said…what if they don’t recognize it because it changes too much? What if you don’t get to see them in time to tell them you updated the mark? A lot of people have the same friends, Joshua, that’s a lot of marks to memorize and if they keep changing…? Anyway I can’t disagree that it’s just for a few people. It’s just a pain having to track down people to give you a new mark over and over again. Isn’t there a compromise?

You realize that whole sentence is sorta contradictory don’t you? “Oh I’m not that powerful but I’ve only shown you a bit of how powerful I am in this form.” Am I ever going to see the full extent of the RG form? (I think I know the answer to that.) My point still stands though. They’re more likely to go after people with powers and not people like me.

Why does everybody use the traffic analogy? It’s not that bad! But I’m going to be careful. I have a few ideas to follow but I’m going to make sure I don’t get caught up in it.

Just make sure you do, too.
zerotohiro: (...no)

Somehow I didn't think so.

You realize then that the only way to actually get this information is to either get people to talk or actively lift it from their brains. I don't think they're great options, but they're options. ...and anyway, I can still do a little bit of work from here. I'm not totally grounded. Just mostly grounded. It all comes back down to who you trust with this kind of thing.

You're making fun of me, aren't you. I am the most calm you've ever seen and you can't prove otherwise. And just because things are going this way now doesn't mean they're going to be forever...isn't that the point of the world? Things change.

And it probably doesn't matter. I doubt I'm getting a tattoo anytime soon. Or letting somebody cut me. But I'll keep that in mind if anything changes.

What status and connections? You mean being an Unseelie shardbearer and who happens to be close to a couple of the prominent figures on the Unseelie side? I guess MAYBE that makes me a target if you really think about it. I'm still saying that they seem to be going after higher beings first. Gods and stuff. I'm not a god, remember?

Way to totally ignore my last sentence, dude. But I'll take it as "you're right, Hiro, thank you for being my friend and looking out for my well-being even while you're busy dodging metaphorical trolleys."

[He debated not answering at all...but it's one last note with only a few short lines.]

Just don't be afraid of the change that comes no matter how much time we have left.

And no matter what? I'm not going to let me or my friends get damaged.


[And that includes Joshua, and he's not clarifying because he knows Joshua will know. That's all, dude. Keep those things in mind.]
