I'm not sure that anyone's come forward with this yet, but there's a way that we can help the people that have been all inky this last moon. You know those purifiers some of us have been making for the miasma?

[ Khalid moves the camera around. Okay, don't be alarmed, he kind of corralled a bunch of Phantoms into an abandoned barn. With Sylvain's help - thanks Gautier. So the camera is panning around to those lanterns with the filters inside and it seems like it is helping out with the inky Phantom-ness. ]

It's a bit of a process, but it does seem to be working, as long as the person affected isn't too far gone. Moth dust is a lot more helpful than the crushed stones and pearls, for the record.

It's not like I was going to keep this to myself, so if anyone's looking to help these people out? Well, there you go.

Oh I'm sure that someone would've come up with something before too long.

Basch and Sylvain helped out though, so you can thank them as well.

[beshackled]

I shall be sure to do so.

Should we have a designated area for treating the affected? I imagine the deep will need one as well, given pressurization differences....

[And there he goes, sinking into his thoughts again. Rambling.]

Mayhap one of those safe rooms can be repurposed for the task. My teleportation magicks do not work so well when it comes to the waters here for reasons I have yet to uncover, but my shackling magicks seem largely unaffected. I could bind them and restrain them during the treatment process easily enough, but I would need someone else to provide me with the supplies that I might focus my energies on restraining those affected...

[deepstar]

You're sure putting a lot of thought into this. What you decide to do is ultimately up to you. If you find that whatever system you come up with is more effective, then by all means. It was no small effort to set up the barn.

[ Just saying! He had to get permission. Then pre-prepare it. Coerce Sylvain into going so he could be bait...

But things like pressurization differences and all of that - ]

I'm sure Azul could help you with some of that. For a fee.

[beshackled]

Ah! Yes, the barn. Is that where you have the ones you have been treating? [Is it the place in the recording? Is that what a barn looks like?] Would you like me to bring those who are far gone there? Have you ascertained a preferred capacity?

And... a-ah, if I may ask, who is Azul? I've never met anyone by that name. Or is it their title? Do people go by titles here?

[deepstar]

As much as I hate to say it, the ones that are too far gone might just need to be put down as kindly as possible. It's more considerate of them that way. The purifiers will help anyone that hasn't lost a sense of themselves though so they could be brought to the barn.

[ As far as capacity - ]

Twenty can fit in there comfortably. Any more and things will get a little cramped.

As for Azul, there's this lounge that he runs, and yes that is his name. I can't answer for the rest of it though. That might vary from individual to individual.

[beshackled]

Oh.

[It's a lot to take in. He goes quiet a moment, thinking things over.]

...I shall bring the ones with lesser symptoms, then, so that they can be treated and released more quickly.

[That... should help to avoid overcrowding, shouldn't it? As for the ones worse off... he'll think of something.]

[deepstar]

[ It is a lot to take in. Unfortunately, Khalid is very used to making these sorts of calls... ]

Sounds like a plan to me. Just make sure you give me a heads up, yeah?

[beshackled]

I will.

['Twould be bad to accidentally exceed capacity.]

My thanks.
