[A wide-eyed Elliott appears on video suddenly, hair tousled like he's been running his fingers through it a lot. His voice holds a note of urgency]

Guys.

I've been looking at my notes, and there's stuff about- about all this. Like I don't fully understand everything, but I just--

The stones are- the gods-

[He reaches back for something and reads off of it]

Even the altar. Like. They're all malachite?? Malachite is 'a gift from Nevedomost'. The priest's name is Neved?? 16 recesses. But there's only 8 stones listed.. Oh, he's- he's unbalanced.

Even- even the palace guard Uspor- Usporiadat? Zmat in the market. What kind of--

The King being sick or possessed after he went out there. Anthony could sense it- the deities battling in the hills?? Are there really?

[He glances around, possessed by a growing frenetic energy]

This is- I can't- I need to do.. something with all this.


Edit:

My notes. Add stuff if you want?

Elliott N. would like to share a document with you.

That’s... wow.

[Sure, fireballs were cool. Healing someone was great. But this ability, whatever it was, had to Clarence’s favorite so far, and for reasons he can’t quite articulate.]

Yeah, that’s definitely the feeling I got. [He wipes the last of the wetness from his face.] Still don’t know what I’m gonna do to help out. Guess I can try to just... talk. See if I can get more information out of some people.

[Elliott shrugs with a half-smile]

I think that's all any of us can do for now, really. We definitely need more information- especially about this corruption thing. For now whenever you're worried, maybe I can help this way.

It doesn't hurt to use it, does it? [Clarence frowned.] As nice as an occasional dose of relaxation sounds, you can't let me drain you every time I'm anxious. Otherwise you might as well follow me everywhere.

[bearshermark]

No, it doesn't hurt. ..But I haven't used any ability for a really long time to say if it drains me or not, really. For now, maybe just if you start to feel affected?

[hardtoignore]

Okay... okay yeah. We’ll just break it out in the worst case scenarios.

[Heavens but it has felt so nice to not feel crushed by the pain of anxiety. Oh well. At least he felt like he could breathe a little better now.]

That’s a pretty amazing power to have.

[He grins]

Thanks. It does seem like the most useful one I have right now. I'm happy to help anytime.
