And with Abrasax the Unreliable turning out to be amazingly accurately named, I am reaching the end of my long list.

So, I have to do something that I never thought that I'd do; ask for, er, suggestions.

Anybody got any ideas? Cole, you were going to check out the Avatars, any luck? And Morrigan... you used to know a lot of people in the

For the record, I do still know a lot of people in the Underworld.

Anyone in particular you're after?

[chris_perry]

Whoever would be powerful or desperate enough to try to turn Wyatt?
I've gone through what seem the obvious choices, the less obvious ones, and the pretty damned obscure.

Anyone that I might have missed come to mind? Anything at all?

[celtic_queen]

Have you looked into the remainder of the Brotherhood? Or what about Shehjn the Unclean? He's always been a power hungry bastard.

[chris_perry]

The Brotherhood has gone downhill since your glory days. Their new plans involve multilevel marketing. Evil, but even a halfway smart baby could see through that.

And Shehjn the Unclean got, er... married. He's now Shehjn the Remarkably Refreshing. Got a kiosk in the mall, selling kite thingies. It's really quite...

Anyways, yeah, they're most likely out. Any info on Quellnar Whiteparts, or Ectagk the Malign?

[celtic_queen]

Well, good of you to notice that. And multi-level marketing? Like Amway? No, I can't believe that.

Married? Really... Well, there's that one gone. Hmmm.

Quellnar? I haven't seen him since I was just starting out in the Brotherhood. I'll look into him for you. And Ectack. He used to be one of the better assassins the Source had, if I recall correctly.

[chris_perry]

Thanks, I really appreciate it.

You know, what with my turn at going evil lately, I see your perspective a lot more. It must be hard, having clawed your way to the top of the Underworld, and then leaving it all behind.

Wow, we have a lot in common. Two people, in a world far different from their own...

Hey, you wanna go out for coffee or something, sometime? When are you free?

[celtic_queen]

Well, your mother is one of my best friends, Chris. Anything I can do to help ease her fears...

Coffee? I suppose we could. How's tomorrow for you?

[chris_perry]

Tomorrow's perfect. Since you're much much busier than I am, what's a good time?

[celtic_queen]

Actually, I don't have much planned for tomorrow.

You just want to stop by?

[chris_perry]

Sure, maybe around noon would be a good time, maybe do lunch too.

Um, that Harmony girl won't be there, will she?

[celtic_queen]

We could do lunch, sure.

Why would Harmony be at my house?

[chris_perry]

Cool! See you around noon.

Wait, is tomorrow saturday? Yup, I definitely need to get out more.

[celtic_queen]

See you tomorrow, then.

If you don't know what day it is.... Yes.

[celtic_queen]

Chris, consider this: what if what Turns your brother is indirect? Everyone is after Wyatt, Good and Evil, a grim Given in the equation. What if what gets to Wyatt gets to someone close to him, and that's what Turns him? Family comes to mind, of course. Maybe what ultimately really Turns your brother is grief and rage at the loss of someone he's very close to? Not that that narrows the field of assailants... Whatever it is, you'll need to be the kind of little brother who can see both of you through it without either of you being Turned. It sounds like family support will be critical for both of you. Have you been able to find out if you can exist in the same plane once you're born? It may not be the same issue as now, with you prenatal still. (Or remember this past-present life after you're born?)
