Like a few others here, I'm among those who met the goddess Nalanni. And like others there are things I learned from having a conversation with her. First and foremost, I'd like to request some help in conveying a message she intended for her people.

She wanted them to know that she loves them, and that she knows they can go on without her.

At the time, I was struck with the thought that she'd considered her own passing a possibility. And now that I've seen mentions of slaying gods here, it seems she wasn't wrong. Maybe some of you know more than me, but I'm not convinced it's the only way. Having said that, I'm not blind to the reality that those are our orders, and that there are those who will follow them.

I'm more interested in helping the Nalawi. I gave my word that I would do whatever I could, and so... To those who are already making efforts to ensure the Nalawi are able to sustain themselves, whatever may come, I'd like to volunteer any help I can provide.

If anyone wants further information on the conversation I had with Nalanni, please let me know. I'm unsure how much would be redundant, since admittedly, I've picked up on recent developments here and there.

Good point, those really have to hurt.

[sekimorinashi]

Especially if they get your shins.

[ex_adept136]

Once the shins go, it's all over.

[sekimorinashi]

Maybe we should wear armour.

[ex_adept136]

That seems like a wise plan, especially wherever is within kicking range.

[sekimorinashi]

We'll have to spread the word.

[ex_adept136]

Perhaps a public service announcement, or flyers to that effect.

[sekimorinashi]

Probably both, to be safe.

[ex_adept136]

Good thinking. Better safe than sorry, where shin-safety is concerned.

We've only got two apiece.

[sekimorinashi]

And if we lose even one we'll be in a lot of trouble indeed.

[ex_adept136]

Hopping about on one leg really would be troublesome.

[sekimorinashi]

Especially since I'm not sure they have crutches here.

[ex_adept136]

None for our heights, surely...

[sekimorinashi]

Oh, you're right. There definitely isn't, is there?

[ex_adept136]

Unfortunately, we're faced with such a cruel reality.

[sekimorinashi]

Whatever shall we do?

[ex_adept136]

We'll have to develop some kind of shin-guards.

[sekimorinashi]

It seems that's our best shot. Do we have any metal around here, or do we have to settle for wood?

[ex_adept136]

From what I've seen, we may be stuck with wood... Unless any of us can mine and process ore.

[sekimorinashi]

I honestly don't know if anyone can. Doubtful, ain't it?

[ex_adept136]

Diverse as we are, it does seem unlikely without the proper equipment. A shame, really.

[sekimorinashi]

We'll have to make do with what we've got.

[ex_adept136]

Looks like wood, wood, and ah...more wood, in that case.

[sekimorinashi]

I'm sure we can do something with it.

[ex_adept136]

I'm inclined to agree. How hard can wood be, anyway?

[Apologies for this pun...]
