Hello you lot. I know people might still be pissed about what went down, so ignore if you don't want an update, however.

So Riverstone sent us medical reports but since I don't know what any of it means, if someone with modern/medical know-how wants to look and explain shite, I'll send it to you. These are the summaries I think I understood:

Our powers don't seem to be biological? So when we used them they didn't show any biological changes? I think? Don't know what that means.

I agreed to do a dream study to try and figure out why I keep showing up in your dreams, they said strangely our brains appear completely awake when we're doing it. No wonder I'm bloody tired.

Also can someone who's been around for a bit explain what the Mariana Trench was?

Added: I got weary of not letting other people take the buck on this one, they gave us the name James Henries and said if we told you lot they'd lose their advantage. Hopefully not, but there you go!

Sounds like elves, where I'm from.

[ and yennefer, being somewhere around a quarter elf herself, empathizes. ]

It doesn't change who you are, you know.

[championofsnark]

I don't know if it'll change me but I do worry it'll bring out my darker impulses. I tend to fight dirty as it is, with blood magic on top of that, I don't know.

[angerberg]

Perhaps you should stop fearing your darker impulses and embrace them. Then, they won't be able to control you.

[championofsnark]

I'm already barely leaning on the light side of the gray morality scale. I'm not certain I want to tip the other way.

[angerberg]

And why is that?

What has leaning on the light side of the scale ever done for you?
Don't twist yourself into knots trying to fit into a box that doesn't suit you.

[championofsnark]

Frankly it hasn't done shite for me. I tried to do everything the right way, playing by the rules, and my life got permanently fucked because of it. Looking back on it I wonder if I just said fuck diplomacy, things would've gone differently.

[angerberg]

I spent decades in diplomacy and got the same. Helped all sorts of people use their power, and shackled my own.

Stop trying to be what other people want you to be. You'll never succeed, anyway. So fuck them, and be what you are.

[championofsnark]

I just have to find a way around my roommate. I know the answer is to say fuck her for being judgmental of blood magic, but brainwashing is hard to overcome and I can't fix it overnight. It'll be a process.

[angerberg]

I think the answer is to find a new roommate.

I prefer living alone, personally.

[championofsnark]

I owe it to other people to keep her close. She's a companion to my best friend, the other part of myself. He'd want me to look out for her.

[angerberg]

He isn't here. The only person you owe is yourself. Everyone else will disappoint you, just as she has.
