[So he's figured out how this tablet works now, so started reading back a bit. One thing has mostly caught his attention, so here he is.]

A lot of you seem adamant to abstain from offering your loyalty to the initiative, which...I understand in the sense that they are strangers just as much as the United Earth.

But should the claims of their forces attempting to raid your own home world be true, it would have disastrous consequences for the people you know still there. Is that worth the risk?

Or is there something else I'm missing here?

[C'mon people, he suspects he's missed something important. Give him some deets.]

Assisting them will bring an end to this bloody mess we've all found ourselves in. A mutually beneficial exchange, which they should be rather grateful for.

[dualreaping]

Hm.

[Although...]

You don't exactly look fit for War, girl.

[bittertears]

You would be correct. In this state, I'd be able to accomplish rather little in battle.

[dualreaping]

Then just how much assistance do you think you can offer them?

video;

[bittertears]

As I said before.

In this state? Very little. However, it's not the only one available to me.

[dualreaping]

Is that so?

And what other state is that, then?

[bittertears]

One that under typical circumstances, should exist in reality. Of course, these are hardly typical circumstances by any means.

[a blinding flash originating from the pendant around her and...]

Seems as though I'm finally able wield it reliably, and it's about time.

[... she got a wardrobe change, and doesn't look quite as ragged as before.]

[...well, form changing's something he's familiar with actually. The cloak and scythe imagery isn't entirely lost on him in that sense.]

And aside the shift in appearance, what can it do?

I take it the changes aren't entirely cosmetic?

[bittertears]

You'd be correct.

[Surprise, she suddenly disperses into a mass of... butterflies, before reappearing.]

A little unconventional, perhaps, but no less without use.

[dualreaping]

Mmm, no, I can imagine. I possess a similar ability myself.

An...unexpected ability for a human to possess, however.

[bittertears]

Perhaps, though this is admittedly and unexpected place we've all found ourselves in.

And a similar ability? Do you really?

[dualreaping]

It's rather tame compared to what I've seen of the universe.

But I do - though it's more destructive than butterflies.

[bittertears]

You must be rather well-traveled, having given such a statement. Powerful as well.

[dualreaping]

[Nod.]

More than you know.

[bittertears]

Thought is it more than I would want to know?

[dualreaping]

I can't say - you might not accept the truth.

Not everybody here does.

[bittertears]

Better to be shown the truth, than to turn away and remain blind to it.
