It doesn’t supremely matter to me any way we go. I just want her to get help at this point, without putting her in debt to anyone in any way. If you feel like you’ve got the answer then I say give it a go.

*Floats back over the ledge, taking my first actual step onto solid ground*
I don’t believe it’s the problem that’s overly complicated, honestly. But finding the best person to help isn’t a simple decision.

@Magnanimity

I feel like I'm being pulled between asking someone, asking someone else, asking no one, and fixing it myself. And I don't know what to do for any of them.

Sit down, then... *Begins describing the process of present moment transcendental meditation*

There... you get it now? This is empirical for you, and you alone, to figure out what is ailing you in detail.

@The Odeoron

I understand the idea of meditation. But I don't think you've explained how I'm supposed to use it to fix this problem.

He stopped you from being able to feed... that's all i know. But for more info, i already suggested what you could do right now. Start meditating or is meditation an alien concept to you?

@The Odeoron

It's not, but what am I trying to do?

@Magnanimity
Uuum... i don't really know how to put it dear Jade... but basically your situation is just that kind of issue... And i don't really understand what you mean by complicated, in my eyes, i already have the solution, but Orthrus sees this in a different light, and as for Mierno, i simply don't trust anybody related to the thing of a man, to be a source of help for you.

@The Odeoron

You're all coming up with different solutions when I don't even understand what the problem is. What did he do to me?

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

My proposition still stands really...

Have Jade meditate and learn to become more in tune with herself rather than depend too much on outside interference. After all, i do fully intend, when we solve this issue, to give her a class in supernatural immune system development... Supernatural for literally anything from magic, to transcendent powers to anything that does not belong in the natural simple physical world...

<Snipped quote by Server>

Do the meditation to learn better of it's nature then you tell us what you feel it is.

@The Odeoron

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

It really is a lot more nuanced than that. Trust me as someone who’s been partially involved in learning about them. And trust me when I say that judging individuals based on a collective is a narrow mindset… I have my own reservations about them, but if I truly believed any of them would maliciously hurt her then I wouldn’t even bring it up.

@Magnanimity

*Looks between both of you as you speak*
So it's even more complicated than it sounds.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

Mostly. Or they at least know someone who knows someone else. Largely connected, you know?

@Magnanimity

Sort of like a family, it sounds like. Just not by blood or race.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

*Shakes my head*
That’s not really the branding they go for in general. They’re just a bunch of capable individuals, not even all in the sense of being physically strong like a “super hero”.

@Magnanimity

This is the strangest mob I've ever heard of. Do they at least all know each other?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

Anyone who’s a threat to the IA or its people, is pretty much it. We defend and protect our home.

@Magnanimity

That makes sense. But these people don't share a home? SideSlash never struck me as someone who'd go out and be some kind of fake super hero.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

Sounds at least adjacent to that, definitely. The spirit of it just puts me off.

@Magnanimity

How does your team decide who to go after? Maybe there's something you both have in common.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

“Good people” amicably being friendly with folks who… Quite plainly, aren’t good people. It really just seems so hypocritical to be nice to some bad people and work to take down others.

@Magnanimity

That almost sounds like a mafia of sorts.
