The group hears some stumbling outside the entrance, then a fall. The source proves to be a collapsed Enter a username- with stable (albeit low) vitals this time.

[Spren of Kindness she/her]

"Oh dear," Kindness says.  "Um, Enter?  Do you need help?"

[Enter a username]

“Uhhh... my mind hurts.”

"Hmm.  How can we help with that?"

[Enter a username]

“Sorry, but you... you can’t. You know how some people have a broken mind? My mind... it’s shattered. It’s shattered. Remember how I said I wasn’t mentally capable of an adventure? This was what I was talking about.”

I'm seeing double.

Yeah, that was my stupid Internet.  Sorry!

I mean, it made sense, but was slightly odd. Enter, you're at almost 100 posts.

T: "I'm sorry. What should we do if it happens again?"

[Enter a username]

“Well, normally, it isn’t nearly that bad. Normally I just pass out. I’ve gotten good at keeping myself together, though. That was my first time in months. I think the stress of being attacked twice in less then a day was what broke me.”

100 posts!

Fadran knits his brow. "I could try... Mind Illusion. It could at least let me see inside there and check to see if I can fix anything."

“Mind illusion? What the heck is that?”

"Would it help if I took you somewhere less exciting?" suggested Rekaerb. "Because almost nothing interesting ever happens at my place here. Even when he invaded." He gestured towards Jaxevist. "I didn't even realize anything was going on until it was all over."

The man walked over to Enter. "Your mind is broken? I think... I think I can help. I'm Jek. My mother's mind was broken when she had my younger brother, and I had to help take care of her a lot." He paused and went to his bag. "Here, take this," he said as he pulled out a metalmind. "I got it from a temple. This wasn't stolen, I promise," he said to Vapor hastily. "I earned this one. I'm not sure what it does, but it kept my mother from ruining her mind completely."

"It's one of the many forms of magic in the Iconar Collective. It comes with Sight, Smell, Touch, Sound, and Taste. It requires opening your mind to another person and accessing their thoughts. Experienced users--unlike myself--can even control other people. I would barely be able to tell what's going on in there."

 "Thank you, but I must refuse. My mind isn't just broken, it's shattered." He looks at the metalmind. "What's even stored in that, anyway?"

"Sure. Go ahead. I can usually keep the pieces together, but when they come apart... you saw what happened to me in that battle."

Fadran Forges a Spirit Bond to Enter a Username, drawing upon the magic of Drakefell to feel at his mind. He winces at what he sees.

Wow. Icona remarks. That is messed up.

Tell me about it. Fadran replies. I don't know what I can do about that.

"That bad, huh? It probably shattered again with the stress of being attacked twice in one day- well, three times if you count those croven."

"No. I'm a scholar. I need to be out there, researching."

Jek shrugs. "I don't know."

Vapor pulls him to the side. "Wasn't your dad there to help?"

"No, he was gone."

"Dead?"

"He left us when I was 8. I had to keep our family alive. But now..."

"They're gone too?"

"Er... Yes."

"There are things called 'libraries', you know," said Rekaerb, raising his eyebrows. "Not all research needs to be field research."

"What about stuff that nobody has seen before? Could Vin have gone to a library and researched chromium or bendalloy?"

"Absolutely," responds Rekaerb without hesitation. "It's just burning metal- she could have done that anywhere."

"Well!" calls a familiar voice. "Fancy seeing you folks here."

Rekaerb waves from his position against the opposite wall. "How's life been?" he calls across the gap.

Queen approaches the new person, extending her hand. "Hello, I'm Q. We haven't met before, but I just joined these guys."
