After a bit of time to finally settle back down after that--travesty--I realized I had not yet spoken to everyone. Persephone! Meine Göttin, please forgive me for not asking sooner! How are you doing faring? Robin? The others that you both know? Well, I hope.

[Screened to Persephone]Quatre has mentioned something of Robin in change? Is everything

I think everyone's doing as well as they can -- still a bit shell-shocked, shattered, but we're dealing.

[ectoplasicious]

I am not surprised. It was a great ordeal. I am glad to hear from you though.

[flipping_bird]

Likewise. How are you doing?

[ectoplasicious]

I am fine. It is--not necessarily my first time at such an experience, you could say. Although this was in a completely different manner...

I am more worried of my friends than anything else. The Quatres... and their close friends. Things were rough when we first came to.

[flipping_bird]

You're sure?

Yes. It's not hard to see why the Entropii would use such a weapon. It's effective, even against those of us who can fight.

[ectoplasicious]

Ja.

A mental attack is always effective it seems. And why shouldn't it be? We are an emotional people. It is not a bad thing, just true. As for fighting back... I did not like what they did there. Why--What if--If it is really so easy for them to rid us of our power, why not destroy us already? On the other hand, it being only an illusion is, with that in mind, a little comforting...

[flipping_bird]

But they didn't rid us of our power, did they? They just put us somewhere we couldn't access it.

We don't know half of what is really going on here -- I'm sure about that. What these Keepers really want, what their plans for us are -- it's all a mystery.

[ectoplasicious]

That is the point. I am uncertain as to exactly what they did to us. In the aftermath I would have to say it speaks more of an elaborate illusion of some sort--or some sort of memory conveyance. It is hard to say.

I agree. I do not thing the original reason is the entirety of it, if it ever was a reason to begin with.

[flipping_bird]

I'm leaning towards the latter if only for the fact that although most of us couldn't access our powers for the duration of the 'attack', a friend of mine who is usually wheelchair bound, found herself able to walk.

This is a lot of effort to go to for curiousity only. There's got to be a reason.

[ectoplasicious]

That is very interesting. If it were the memory of those people we saw first... somehow reliving that in our own way... that would explain it.

Curiosity was not was I was getting at, but yes. I still wonder if the one we were told was ever accurate at all though.

[flipping_bird]

It certainly didn't seem like they were taking anything from the people they killed here.

[ectoplasicious]

This is true--but it is hard to tell when one is unconscious, yes? And without one's natural power...

[flipping_bird]

Point. And looking at the Entropii, we can't really expect them to function like anything we're familiar with.

[ectoplasicious]

Not exactly. [a pause, and then a thought] Although some paranormal creatures are similar...

[flipping_bird]

Really?

[ectoplasicious]

Ja. Some spirits act in similar ways... You know of the vampire myth? Well, in Asian believes they have a vampire type that drains a person's psychic energy rather than blood. Other cultures also have these subtypes--including spirits that drain energy. That is similar to these beasts, yes? And, well--
