Regarding balance and conduits
Hello, everyone! This is Pyra, and I have important news!
For the past year, Honerva and I have been monitoring the energy levels around us, specifically that which makes up the barrier. While the barrier appears uniform, it's actually made up of four distinct signatures of energies. These energies fluctuate throughout the year, and there happens to be one that tends to come out in greater quantities than the others. After studying these energies some more [ And with greater concentration and effort on their part, certainly, because none of these energies can be detected alone-- ] we've discovered that at the point of touch or contact, this energy is undeniably generated, and the unique bands travel towards the direction of their corresponding temples.
If anyone is wondering, we haven't detected any energy generated by touch that might be traveling elsewhere, such as towards the Crawling One or Winged One as mentioned in the archives.
I'm sure some of us remember the following messages received two months ago, "Balance must always be kept"; before that from the Archives, "Balance, [The Winged Lord] told His followers, must always be kept"; and from Nalom last year, "Remember to keep the balance." It might just be that the balance that they're referring to is the four energies in relation to one another, and currently, it seems that Rawna's energy has been dominating for some time. [ Hopefully, however, not for long. ] It doesn't seem productive to simply discourage those aligned to Rawna from engaging in touch, since despite all of these messages of balance, we've seen some definitive changes in this city alone from what we've all accomplished together. We've come so far!
Since Ainir of last year, myself, Honerva, and Lup have been working on a conduit together, forged from nicean and sildar ores, the same ores found in the chasis units of the locals, to take in the excess, unbalanced energy into its core. We're hoping that we'll be able to help correct this balance in a few different ways. Our purposes for this conduit include:
I'm happy to report that we've presented this prototype and the goals to the researchers, and they seem interested!
Of course if anyone is interested in refining and continuing to work on these projects along with us, just let me know! A fair warning, though, that even though the researches are interested in what we can discover, the priests are not very supportive.
And if anyone is interested in exploring outside the barrier, I would be happy to lend you one of these prototypes to see how well (or faulty), our current version of the conduit works. I'm especially keen on anyone who is willing to explore further down the factory's mine shaft or those interested in finding the potential location of Fractured Hill.
(I would also like to thank Cloud for gathering all the scrap metals from the ruins to help with this project, Besithia for repurposing all the excess metal and continuing to investigate more on his own, Magolor who is no longer here but I've bounced ideas off of, and Noct for being so very supportive and tolerant of me coming home with metal shavings all over me.)
[ OOC: For fairness to all the people who wish to have their characters go beyond the barrier and limited slots, I'm going to only be counting those characters who expressed interested and responded on this post. ]

We're hoping that we'll be able to help correct this balance in a few different ways. Our purposes for this conduit include:
- • creating an exoshield around us to help explore outside the city's barriers
- • creating a haven with the conduit like a checkpoint or a satellite base outside the barrier
- • powering and protecting vehicles as they travel outside the barrier
- • to be simply worn by individuals who engage in more touch than others to divert excess, imbalancing energy into the conduit instead of upsetting the balance of the barrier that protects us all.

....And, Kaito, are you interested in going outside the barrier yourself, too?
no subject
text* even
[ WAT ]

[The whole battery would probably be exhausting, but keeping it filled up? No problem! ... Probably!!]
And your phone, but thats less exciting. Useful tho
no subject
Kaito, that's amazing.
[ However, she does have a follow-up question: ]
It doesn't take too much of a toll on you, does it?
no subject
Good question ! I haven't messed around with it too too much yet, but probably nothin a nap can't fix.

I'm still gathering information of who all wishes to explore, and I'll put your name down, too, then. While I might not be able to take everyone out, depending on what I'm able to petition, I appreciate you volunteering, Kaito. You're very brave.
no subject
Even if I don't make it out there, I'm sure you'll have plenty of stories to bring back.
no subject
Thank you, Kaito.
It's nice to speak with you again, by the way. I hope we'll talk in person again, too.
no subject
[As much as he's settled in with his tiny pool of people, hearing someone else actually thinks it is nice to talk to him is still. Uh! Weird! It's weird. He really doesn't know how to respond to that part.]
I'm sure we'll run into each other somewhere. You've been awful busy it looks like
no subject
Send me your address? I'll bake you cookies from time to time, if you wouldn't be opposed?
pls hold
I won't say no but you don't gotta. oh, but we've got
no subject
Is radio silence.
He sent it as he wandered off to stare deeply at his replicator because he did not remember the name of a thing. He had full intentions of finishing that sentence.
Hang on.]
ok
if u want any. [Here is also an address.]
noo he's cute
[ vanilla for... whatever the hell she's going to make okok ]
he's tryin
i don't know how to make cookies yet
Its the liquid that goes? in cookies? ?
i think it goes in cookies
