[Feferi is going to keep this quick. She looks tired, but she manages to smile.]

Hi, everyone. It's Feferi.

Number one - everyone who was in Jason's pod last month...I know none of us are okay. It's impossible to be okay after what that bastard put us through. But...are most of us some semblance of all right? Is there anyfin I can do to help?

Number two - I'm sorry if I worried anyone. I couldn't help being away. I was so scared that you would all think I had disappeared for good, and I was worried about you, too.

Number three...if anyone else from any version from Alternia has arrived...hello. And I'm sorry.

I...They tried to silence your words completely. But those of us above a certain rank on the spectrum could access them. It was meant as a 'this is what to stamp out' thing, but in my case, it served as a 'this is what I want to do' thing instead. It's like meeting my inspiration.

...wait. Sollux is here? He was here right when I arrived, a couple of months ago, but then he disappeared...

Emotional Signless is emotional.

[His words. They have meaning within this high blood, he beams beneath the shadow of his cloak and allows a soft tear to shy down his cheek. His dream had come true or so it seemed, but he wasn't going to assume the worst. ]

I am honored to hear such words. I had no idea that would be a vision for someone of your blood color.
I do apologize I do not mean to judge, but it is hard and yet relieving to hear this.
My dream has come true. If it is not too much to ask can you tell me more about your time on Alternia.

I saw him a week or so ago. I do not know if he is still present.

It's what I've worked for as soon as I found Disciple's journal. I couldn't put it down. I kept it in a safe plaice, so if I couldn't sleep, I'd just read until I felt better.

I - Alternia wasn't an easy plaice to grow up. After the Summoner's rebellion, the Empress sent all the adult trolls away, to serve in the Fleet. That left us young ones to grow up with only our lusii to guide us. All the while, she kept pushing the boundaries, kept weakening the link with our shared lusus. It fell to me to keep her fed, keep her calm, keep her quiet.

...I hope he's...not that I want him to be here, but I want to see him.

[iron_infidel]

Ah, the Disciple she certainly has a way with her scripture.
It is good to hear that our words have not been lost to the generations. It was as I had predicted, but I did not know it had come true.

Condescension, it comes as no surprise that, this is what it has resulted to in her continued rule.
It seems she will try anything to keep her rule constant.

I hope he is all well. I'm sure your paths will cross in time.

[ofdewandglass]

That she does. But I admire all of you, and all your strength. It's been a comfort and an inspiration both. Thank you for that.

It's very true. Crush those with any ideas that differ from hers, maintain the status quo at all cost. It was always my destiny to go against her, and while I never relished the thought of bloodshed, the thought of setting things right meant everything.

...mm. I hope so. I really do.

[iron_infidel]

You are very welcome, but please accept my thanks as well.

Bloodshed is not the answer for anything. I did not fight and allowed my words and beliefs to become my weapon. In the end it looks to have made a difference.
Even though our world has ended, there is still hope here for us to work together and find a new shelter in which we may come to call home.
In the meantime I plan to offer what help that I can to those who need it.
To earn the trust of others and to start towards a common goal.

I wasn't given a choice. From the time I was old enough to understand, my lusus told me that when I was of age, we would duel each other for the throne. If we didn't, she would kill every other creature in the galaxy via a psychic shockwave. It was the choice of having the blood of one person on my hands versus the blood of many lives.

I wish things could have been different for me.

...though...I don't know if this place itself is the safest place to call a new home. Using it to find one might be better.

[iron_infidel]

So your destiny was decided before you had a chance to change it. I am sorry to hear that. It is a great burden to have and I wish I could change it for you.
I know how it feels to be responsible for the lives of others. I wish not to know what will happen to my closest followers if we were captured by the highbloods.

You are right. This place is not safe, but we can find a new.
