And what is it you're going to have to do for Cassius in order to get it? Find this friend of his? I'm sure there are countless others just as willing to risk their lives for a faceless acronym. Why does one of those people have to be you?
I don't believe I have. In fact, revisiting our exchange: I asked you a question. You evaded said question. I prodded further. You were honest because you were cornered. I asked for your motivations, you misconstrued pretty much everything I've said, and somehow, my entire perception of you. At what point in your life do you think I ever believed you were weak. Not when you were younger, not at the age of four, not at fourteen and certainly not now.
Now. I am not telling you what to do. I'm inquiring into how far this goes, and why. You want your magic. I have been around witches who've lost their connection, I have seen what lengths they'll go to to get it back, Hope.
Has Cassius expressed exactly how he will retrieve your connection to your witch ancestry?
[gdit, he's totally right isn't he. she jumped the gun. ugh.]
there's only a couple of things that could be causing the problem. my magic is there, i just can't get to it, so something is blocking it. the same happens if i try to turn into a werewolf.
it's either this thing in our chests or it's the neural implant they put in when we got here. i want to check my implant and see if it's doing anything that isn't normal.
And is that what he's promising? To indeed confirm whether it's your neural enhancement cutting off your magic and ass to your wolf form? Or, is he promising that, and.
But no longer connected this easily. This is a world with limited technology. Do you really want to sever the real bond you have with the displaced? While shutting down a true means of communication and recognition?
No, it's not, but you weren't born here, Hope. You were taken. Your mind and body, invaded. Can this Cassisus promise removal, replacement and the access you'll need? I'm only pointing out the myriad of challenges a promise like this may entail.
[She did, in fact, stipulate that if her implant wasn't causing the power dampening that it should be put back in at least. She may have neglected to ask for a new on if it was the culprit, though.
Whatever, she can just say hers broke or something.]
Well, if you have it under control, that what worry do I have over it. Hope has it under her control and trusts this AI implicitly. I can just go on about my day in this ALTERNATE FUTURE and let Hope traipse into who knows where to find another imprisoned AI.
We being every person who accepted this same, albeit, separate deal altogether. Is everyone working together, communicating, coordinating? What is your part in this daring rescue?
I'm here now. You know better than to think I'll let you do this alone. I'm in.
( What she didn't expect was for him to not forbid her. He knows forbidding her will only make her do it to spite him. And him being there, maybe he can make sure nothing terrible happens. The consequences of which, they will all deal with. If anything does happen, Cassius will feel his wrath. )
That, I'll gladly do. Not that I remember her being particularly suicidal before.
I'm not saying this was your place, but I did have to learn of the discrepancy between Caroline and I after encountering her here. Things proved to be strange, dynamically. Is this something that keeps happening? Differences in time?
I don't know if Caroline has passed anything on, but you should know that her circumstances have no bearing on how I will be with her. In any capacity. I don't know what she's been made aware of, or how I was with her before, but, here she will be someone I look out after. I'm happy the two of you found each other here, even if there are years between you.
