voice

[corundrum]

[A ponderous, quiet sound of crystal tinkling against crystal comes through the feed for a moment or two before someone takes over. It's a deep, androgynous voice, calm and somewhat light, as if with no concerns to speak of.]

I think that display earlier in the month taught us all a little bit more about these "talents" we grasp in coming to this world, huh? But I wonder if anyone knows even more than that yet. Do you think Dreamfolk past have written about this for us?

A strange thing happened recently, too. I felt as if I'd been leaving aside this so-called talent of mine, almost...but in my absence from it, it seems to have become ten times as powerful. It seems like even a neglected talent can flower unexpectedly.

Now I'm wondering whether all the people training so hard earlier this month know that as well. [There's a slight, rolling laugh before the message ends, with another shimmering sound like falling ice.]

Comments

oh hey i didn't realise rooms had been reshuffled

[corundrum]

Ah, that sounds like Rutile. [Padparadscha laughs slightly at that. No doubt they would have been singularly unimpressed by that turn of events.]

Nobody else can tell you that but yourself, but consider how you were feeling at the time and you might find your answer.

no worries, we have the other thread to take care of it :3

[ilda]

Oh! Is she a friend of yours?

[ She pauses, considering. Then nods thoughtfully. ] You're right. I just need to think of it a little bit more, which is gonna be the hard part... thank you, though!

What's your talent?

[corundrum]

You could say that. [Lingering amusement colours Padparadscha's tone. It would be more obvious if they were meeting in person what the connection was, but they feel they can leave it for now.

There's a slight hum at the question.] I'm not completely sure how to describe it, but it's a Destruction talent.

[ilda]

Oh. And is it... well, set off by your feelings, too?

[corundrum]

I'm afraid not. That's all yours to figure out, little one. [Then again, Padparadscha has enough self-control that it's wildly unlikely anything would set off based on their emotions, so they're not the best source for this anyway.]

[ilda]

It's like a puzzle!

... I've never been good with puzzles.

[corundrum]

Perhaps you could find someone who is, then.

[Padparadscha doesn't typically outright tell people what to do, but it could serve well to have people more skilled at piecing things together figuring it out.]
