Tiles: Have you asked directly?
Courier: I mean.. I’ve said as much and I know at the very least Styx felt that way at first..
Tiles:.. Do you want to go that slow?
Courier: I don’t know….
Courier: Biggest fear is that I won’t be able to return the same feelings and vice versa. Has me more nervous than I should be..
Courier: What if they assume more? What if I’ve assumed too much? What if I want more than they’re comfortable ever giving..
Courier: Guess I just want a good gauge of things. Know they both care about me for who I aim though…
Courier: And Styx well.. Sure knows how to whet with words… so to speak.
Lash:...
Courier: Bit much of a pun, aye…
Tiles: You seem a bit conflicted too on the form thing, wanting something to let you take more than one option up at will I’d presume.
Courier: Aye.. would be nice.
Tiles: Can Styx help with that? Considering he seems to hold more than one appearance?
Courier: Not certain, never seen any of his internal appearances. Can’t even exit without borrowing the form of another outside of his own realm…
Courier: And I imagine in my case, to switch forms means storing bodies somewhere, and my current one's a bit of a liability.. With him he just seems to be able to change though but.. there's baggage attached and he's always talking about how he'd be scared that I might not like whatever his true face is.
Courier: Self image issues.. and a bit of frustration at having to live around the schedule of a shared body that's not his own.
Courier: Know that gets to him too. Lashy offers to allow him that assistance when Gally is busy but…
Courier: Always rejects it..
Lash:...
Courier: Suppose most people can't see proxies naturally either yeah.. that's a problem as well.
Courier: I do know he prefers the forms of clients and their proxies often.
Courier: Strong attachment, perhaps a comfort thing….

Courier: He's got a lot going on…
Tiles: Can’t imagine it helps being under our circumstances. Constant fear for most to ponder your own passing in time of war, one where you may find yourself with the worry of not letting people around you know how much you care for them. I’ve had my fair share…
Courier: Absolutely lines up. He seems like he’s never one to take well to losing a client… and when it’s Gally I’d be just as upset too..
Courier: Him as well. Can’t die as far as I know but.. If his connections to this world do? He’s effectively gone. Odds if tracking him down are practically none.
Courier: He keeps a room in his realm, one where he takes care of the shells of proxies past.
Courier: Proxies of the departed, nothing but mannequins efeffectivly.
Courier: I’ve helped Lashy maintain as much as the opportunity allows and…

Courier: I’ve helped Lashy maintain as much as the opportunity allows and…
Courier: Didn't know proxies could go through multiple forms in a lifetime. Lash says she's gone through plenty since Styx loves to rebrand.
Courier: Each time they appear they effectively become different… Enough that it absolutely takes a toll.
Courier: It’s something I hope he opens up about more.. feels irrational the way he handles things sometimes.
Courier: Takes pride in his work, each proxy is a collaborative work between him, his client, and the prox' itself.
Courier: His art, so to speak..
Lashy seemed to blush at that.
Courier: You are!
Courier: They’re so brilliant honest..
Courier: I remember just seeing one resting among the flowers which, wild he can grow them indoors with no sun..
Courier: Beautiful but sad…
Courier: Wish I could meet some of them..
Courier: There’s been temptation to ask for one but..
Courier: Might be drastic? Strange? Uncomfortable even..
Lashy: ….
Courier: Don’t know if I’d be willing to pact, love Styx to bits but…
Courier: Afraid he’d somehow use that to distance from me more when he’s having a rough time.
Courier: And.. From what Gally has told me, he can be hard to work with…
Courier: Tends to be a bit demanding in stressful

Courier: That said, a proxy shell does inspire ideas in me…
Lashy:.......
Courier: Aye, suppose I could be thrust into one…
Lashy:....
Courier: I don’t know if stabbing you first for practice is something you'd enjoy.
Lashy:.......
Courier: Aye, suppose I could be thrust into one…
Lashy:....
Courier: I don’t know if stabbing you first for practice is something you'd enjoy.
The proxy shrugged.
Courier: I mean I can float on my own but..
Courier: I'd need help getting all the way in. And most aren't willing to stab themselves with a big cuss off sword just for the experience.
Lashy:....
Courier: I am calling you chickenshit, yes.
Lashy:...
Courier: More than aware you'd win a fight yes..
Lashy:...
Courier: Wait can you do that? Styx hasn't suggested that at all…
Lashy:...
Courier:.... Ah…. I mean I'm happy being a sword.
Lashy:...
Courier: Flesh bodies are hard anyway. Good for getting snogged and cuddled but maintaining them is rough…
Tiles: I’m just a tad lost…
Courier: Can’t hear her, right…
Courier: So didn't know she could just give me access to the castle on a psych level…
Courier: Being able to pocket a consciousness sounds handy in theory, especially since I've got a captain dormant in me.
Courier: But I’d need a link to someone who has a contract if not already so…
Courier: You have a small pact, aye?
Tiles: A limited one, testing the waters.
Courier: Not surprised, he probably sees a lot of potential in you.
Xey quickly got to unraveling the hilt, and gently gestures for your hand your hand.

Xey quickly got to unraveling the hilt, and gently gestures for your hand your hand.
Courier: Could you um….
Courier: Just grab it, yeah? Nothing bad or anything just.. I can make a mental link with anyone who touches my true form..
Xeir face blushed.
Courier: I don’t usually tend to do this with people I just met… you don’t have to but uh..
Tiles: What are you doing?
Courier: I don’t usually tend to do this with people I just met… you don’t have to but uh..
Tiles: What are you doing?
Courier: It’s how we communicate with folks.
Courier: Can’t do much with it, wildest thing is sharing a dream with someone who kept me under their pillow but… having that link might let me do that much?
Courier: Entity magic and pacts have weird interactions like that. Signals, even a telekinetic one, can get a ton of mileage.
Courier: Just… grab on. When you hear my voice inside your head I’m going to try to make a mental link. If you have permissions toward the pocketing system well..
Courier: Mentally confirm that you’re allowing that.
Courier: And once I confirm I’m good, pull me out of this body’s chest.

Courier: Mentally confirm that you’re allowing that.
Courier: And once I confirm I’m good, pull me out of this body’s chest.
Courier: If it works, this form will be completely mine… Assuming we have a place put the bastard’s soul for after of course?
Lash:....
Courier: Long as they won't cause trouble…
Courier: From what I understand, the castle is a middleground between a physical and mental place.
Courier: Which is why proxies can free roam when pocketed away instead of just lounging in some space in your head....
Courier: And with this ability, a second consciousness is effectively just a proxy being sent to the castle, no?
Lash:....
Courier: Aye… you’ll be able to hear what Lash says too while we’ve got that link actually. Maybe proxies in general? Not that they’re common in these parts but…
Courier: There’s a risk factor. If it doesn’t work and the other guy wakes up, you’re going to have to get me back in this body through brute force.
Courier: Lash says she has places to store them too so trouble won’t be caused.. Ones that might be better for them in the long run than living among the crown as infantry or just having to kill them..
Courier: Plenty of genuine risks to that but it’d be a lot off my mind. It might be selfish but… I want to be able to be me to the fullest, without having to worry about someone else putting us all in danger..
Courier: And if worst comes to worst, I trust you in preventing them from getting out..
Courier: So...?
