So first of all, I want to apologize for my, well, my rather abrupt message the other night. I didn't want to scare anyone, but I ended up doing that anyway. Long story short, while trying to help someone else here, I got stabbed. I'm okay-- [She holds her hands up for emphasis; her right arm appears to be bandaged.] I made it out a lot better than I could have. I managed to deflect it, for the most part.

But that's not why I'm posting. I had a dream that night, and the more I think about it, the more I think it might have been an echo. I can't remember a lot of details about it, but I remember a name: "The Field of Justice." I think I remember seeing others, but no real details about them.

I know, it sounds really hokey, and that's why I didn't want to say anything about it at first. It could have just been the pain medication I'm on, but you never know, right? Has anyone heard about anything like this; a place that champions of legend fight one another, with the same name maybe? Or even something similar? I feel like I'm grabbing at straws...

Yes, from what I've seen it's unusual...

[ladyofluminosity]

At least you still have your voice, right? I mean, you only remembered being mute, not actually...

[That came out a lot faster than she could catch it; her face said it all.]

[ her next messages takes a minute, because at first she almost wants to tease Luci, but realizes that would be mean. ]

Don't worry about it.

[ladyofluminosity]

So you did lose it, then. I'm sorry.

[maven]

It's alright. It was some time ago, and there are many other means of communication.

[ladyofluminosity]

That you lost your voice, or that you echoed back that you lost your voice? ...Which would be the same thing.

Okay, just to make sure I've got this straight, now long have you had this number?

[maven]

Since I was eight. Though I only thought to do anything with it recently. Afraid I was a bit slow.

[ladyofluminosity]

That long, really? Wow, you have a lot more willpower than I do. Although from what I understand, they wouldn't have worked until just recently anyway.

Did you lose your voice when you got them?

[maven]

Yes. I was sick, and couldn't speak.

I realized that this was normal, for me, and my voice never came back.

[ladyofluminosity]

I see. That must have been hard.

[maven]

Harder then than now.

[ladyofluminosity]

I'll bet.

[maven]

People can adapt. That's what this network seems to reflect.

[ladyofluminosity]

Definitely. You're in good company.
