[the journal cuts into a sequence of quiet murmurs--Luceti auto-translate might not be working completely up to speed because most of what can be heard is a blur of languages spilling from one to another...

then it stops abruptly before getting louder, quick, not panicked but shocked-startled-surprised]"--

[merepuppet]

...Mother?

[Voice-He's with Kadaj ATM so yay same frequency.]

[ivorygunslinger]

Mother?

[ladymeteor]

[all the easier to yell at all of you]

You two! Did you know of this??

[merepuppet]

[Come on, Mommy. Don't be mad.]

We worried.

[ivorygunslinger]

[He's silent. There isn't much more to say than that.]

[ladymeteor]

"You knew. You heard what had come before, known what they were that tried to use me, me as their vessel. Their voices are broken now, ground to dust in their mouths, and their knowledge is mine again. I am stronger than that. And I could be more."

"To what end?"

"You ask me to trust in you, confide in you, now?"

[merepuppet]

Mother. [He's unsure of what else to say.]

[ivorygunslinger]

[Yazoo as well. It almost felt like they were listening in on something that they shouldn't be.]

[ladymeteor]

[there is a short silence and several gasping breaths]

Why?

[merepuppet]

We had no idea what would happen if we continued to let you sleep. [All right. That was maybe a sort-of lie... but mostly truth!]

[ladymeteor]

[her eyes narrow; she senses a lie somewhere in all of this, but she is too fractured in consciousness between the three of them to see properly--best to do this one at a time, perhaps. They have already played her the fool once.]

I will see. Soon.

[for now, book close]

[ivorygunslinger]

[There's quite a sense of foreboding from those four words that the Elder Remnant gets...But he's not really surprised. They had disobeyed her thrice, and it was only a matter of time, now.]
