Subject: Elah Search?
Warnings: idk shouldn't be any

While I haven't been here too long to know the full story, I have seen there's some invested interest in attempting to locate Elah. My particular gifts make me adept at locating people and things and I have to admit I've felt a bit useless since arriving here.

I'm certain I'm not the only one with an interest in at least trying to look. Which brings me here to ask if anyone else has either started their own search or intends to try looking themselves? It could be beneficial for everyone to know who all is trying.


[ ooc: feel free to talk to each other too here! just though it'd be a good kick off point for people going about with trying to find thing or who already have found things themselves. ]

You're new, yeah?

There was a massive trafficking and poaching operation. Corsairs were killing protected species like whales and kidnapping and torturing people and turning them into crystal statues... and Paladins were financing the operation by buying the resulting products as art.

There's videos of it
(OOC CW: gore, death, harm to people and animals)here. The creature smashed the island after the raid.

Can't really blame Elah, either, considering they're a giant whale and all.

You probably couldn't pay me to come back.

Letting the island crumble without them is already a pretty good revenge. Sends a message.
telepathicignorance: (Thoughtful)

No idea.

Elah was smart enough to understand what was going on with the whales though, so they probably knew what would happen without them.

They're unfathomably vast and powerful, that's for sure.

(Weird thing to say.)

[personal profile] telepathicignorance 2025-06-19 10:36 am (UTC)(link)
Sure, no problem.

(Feel, huh?)

Little over a year now.

On this scale, maybe. It's the first time the people got caught at least.

(That's a lot of qualifiers. As a literal sentient product themself, they have absolutely zero doubts there are more operations involving stuff like this that are just less sloppy, less obvious, and less easily found.)

Only if you think you can do something about it.

(Otherwise this person is just gonna be angry and depressed and possibly get herself and others killed for asking the wrong questions.)
telepathicignorance: (Interest!)

[personal profile] telepathicignorance 2025-06-20 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
Really?

(Now they're interested.)
telepathicignorance: (Thoughtful)

[personal profile] telepathicignorance 2025-06-20 08:36 am (UTC)(link)
That anything like the enhanced?
telepathicignorance: (Thoughtful)

[personal profile] telepathicignorance 2025-06-20 10:27 am (UTC)(link)
You mean like superpowers?

Enhanced are kind of like that, except instead of being born with powers people either modify themselves with machinery... or take a drug that fucks up the body so much that they ...probably die, but sometimes they get powers instead.
