I don't know how many of you out there remember a man named Kurt Wagner. He used to talk about places like this as a sort of second chance. Doesn't necessarily mean anything we do here impacts who we are back where we come from; it's just an easy space to rewrite ourselves if we didn't like how the story was unfolding before.

I wasn't really looking to start a blank page. Had it pretty good before. Not before-before, but in the place before this. I guess all that's gone now. Eventually, you've got to admit that some things just aren't coming back.

Anyway, that's not what this is about. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't mind reminiscing a bit. But I'd rather do it face to face over a bottle of something. Maybe give a toast to the people who found their way back out. I hope they don't remember a second of it.

Point is I've always got a better idea of who I am when I'm being useful, so I guess it's well past time I try that out. It's a variety of stuff life's let me hone my skills at, needs must and all. But if there's something else you need doing, get in contact and I'll see what I can do for you.

Text preferred.

I am blind. While I have other ways to perceive and operate in the world I can't read anything written. Do I guess correctly that you are deaf?

Only if you ask then. You are kind to offer that.

Practically I should be opposed because it is pointless with no one around to show off for and it may be somewhat dangerous for you. But I am never opposed to being practice for someone.

It would be nice.

Good guess. I'll be honest, I don't have a lot of experience communicating with people who are blind but I'm sure we can figure it out.

Not everything has to be useful, does it? If there's something that feels a little bit normal in all of this, that's probably worth it in its own way. But what do you mean, dangerous to me?

If nothing else my Omen is helpful as a pair of eyes.

[One message sent, then a short pause as Illarion considers exactly what he'd previously said, and winces internally.

Corruption makes him incautious.]

No but I'm several years out of practice at enjoying things. Easier to justify pragmatic choices.

The feathers in question come from a creature that causes madness if you can see them. They the feathers might have the same properties even when plucked and dead. I don't know for certain and understandably haven't tested it on anyone.

Better to bring you something from a mundane bird, I'm thinking.
