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.

I'll say. I'm beginning to suspect we're currently inhabiting a doomed world regardless of what action we take.

And that's just dandy, isn't it? I'm not going to pretend I have any enthusiasm toward running about at the behest of an incompetent organisation when he could be elsewhere, tending to more pressing concerns. But alas, the choice is out of my hands.

But who knows. Perhaps ALISTAIR is privy to some information that we're unaware of. It seems they'd been doing their thing for some time before we stumbled along. I'd like to think there's method to the madness and we just can't see it.

[He'd like to think that, yes, but whether he actually does remains undisclosed.This all feels so messy compared with what he's accustomed to.]

I would hope not, though it seems difficult to imagine what would come after so much upheaval.

It seems all we can do is wait and see what else we can find out - and whether our initial impressions are accurate. No doubt we'll have plenty to draw on in due course, at this rate.

[Though watching and waiting isn't exactly his favorite tactic]

[Watching and waiting. Perhaps 'favourite tactic' would be the wrong term of phrase, but it's something he's certainly had practice with.]

So it would seem. Time will tell, I suppose.

[ex_adept136]

I hope what we see is more promising than the initial impression.

[ofobedience]

Don't go holding your breath, now.

[ex_adept136]

I'm afraid I'm far too fond of breathing for that.

[ofobedience]

Wise words if ever I heard them.

[ex_adept136]

I should say that of yours, if anything.

But while we're both making sure to breathe, please do take care.

[ofobedience]

I'll do my best.
