[If Allen Walker's going to be honest with himself, he needs help. Pretty badly. And the truth is that he's come no closer to finding it in this place than he has in his world, and the clock is still ticking.

But what he's also come to realize is that what he has here is access to something unlike anything he has at home, which he's been stupidly neglecting. That is, a network of hundreds of people from a multitude of backgrounds and specialties and worlds, right at his fingertips. One of them might even know something that could, indeed, help him. He can't justify squandering this resource.

Especially not when he doesn't even need to come out publicly about his... problem. He has nothing to lose by trying, and perhaps a great deal to gain.

So, after making triple-sure this is going to post anonymously, he writes,]

hello,

i would like to speak with anyone here who has knowledge of demons, or similar beings from their world.

[For lack of a better descriptor.]

especially those familiar with methods of exorcism, or the containment of them.

[He considers adding more, but perhaps the vaguer, the better in this case. It'll have to do.

He resists the powerful urge to close with a 'thank you.']

[Typing while sitting on a tiny, protesting demon is always an art. Especially typing this much. (At the speed Rosette types)]

most of the big ones need a dive tho. an Exorcist goes into the soul and sorts the demon out from the human soul and helps them expel it

['Soul diving' sounds immensely unsavory to Allen Walker. You just don't mess around with souls, ever - and how can you possibly enter one?]

i can't let you meet him. it would be too dangerous. [ for others and Allen. ]

i'm sorry, what do you mean "into the soul"?

[Under her, Chrono is demanding to know what she's typing. "STUFF!" is probably not a satisfactory answer.]

there's a place in all of us, that makes us the strongest and makes us the weakest at any given time.. if i can go there, i can help strengthen it, and you, to push them out or contain them

[debtor]

[He's really not sure what to make of that at all.

To be honest, it almost makes him feel a little ill. He'd much rather she not, for her own safety, for his - there's enough in his head, as it is.

Surely there's another way to achieve that strength, isn't there?]

i don't think it would be a good idea.

[soul_sister]

we'll be here, if you need us.

[debtor]

thank you.
