[Julien considered making another text post. In the end it's audio, his voice heavy with resignation but calm. You would not know he had a breakdown over this.]

So you know, Numbers Club, Doctor Aaron Strider's gone off-network. Again. Looks like it happened a couple days ago. Somehow, the athelas plants are still around, but none of the other stuff. I'll have to test to see if they still have their - properties.

[he sighs, careful not to let it get too deep.] I know we have this... unwritten policy of just letting people be when this happens, let them get on with normal lives. But I talked to him last time about what's going on. I talked to him again now, and honestly I'm going to keep him informed when I can. I'll swear by whatever you want that he's not going to the police with anything, and he doesn't really share information period. Well, we know that. [A tinge of bitterness showed there, just for a second.]

If you can't go to a normal hospital or wherever, you can still come here, to the LSR. Doesn't matter if he's in or not.

i wanna know how powerful it is i hit a guy with it after all.

so maybe ill find a way to test it.

maybe itll be useful

[espigeonage]

I think it will be. At the least it let you get away, sounds like.

[dragon_blossom]

being alive is useful to me and Anais anyways.

[espigeonage]

Oh yes! Already you're reaping the rewards!

[dragon_blossom]

now somehow the rest of you need to reap them.

[espigeonage]

Yeah. Well, maybe you can start saving our asses. We don't all have powers like that, after all.

[dragon_blossom]

i did beat a lot of people to getting powers huh? i mean thats all i wanted to get was stuff to protect myself but it i guess it could protect other people?

all this responsibility is bad for my heart.

[espigeonage]

It's a multipurpose power! or idk like any tool.

lol. Well you don't have to get a mask and cape.

[dragon_blossom]

i think i do i think i need to never be found out and to not have lives in my hands

[espigeonage]

Secret identities. Yeah.

You don't need to go on patrol and play superhero, I mean, but I for one would be happy to be helped if I got into something I couldn't get out of alone.

[dragon_blossom]

i can promise to bail you out if its convenient anyways.

[espigeonage]

Well I'm touched.

[dragon_blossom]

thats already pretty considerate of me!

[espigeonage]

I know, I know! And I appreciate it.

[dragon_blossom]

whether ill be any good at it is another question.

[espigeonage]

Practice will help answer that! It'll be good to have more of an idea of what you can do with the dragon firehose.

Which is the name of my next band.

[dragon_blossom]

i demand a cut if you hit it big.

[espigeonage]

Only if you bail me out of something.

[dragon_blossom]

what if i plot to get you into trouble that i can save you from?

[espigeonage]

Then you get the cut, unless I find out about this plot. In which case, nothing.

[dragon_blossom]

i know what im doing with my weekend.

[espigeonage]

Forewarned is forearmed thanks!

[dragon_blossom]

another sign of my grace and generosity.

[espigeonage]

My cup runneth over.
