Greetings, Luceti. I see you've managed to open the proverbial Pandora's Box. I was wondering when that would happen.

More seriously, however- no doubt most of you have noticed the widespread issue that's resulted from that decision. Some might even recall a similar experience occurring years ago. If you're concerned about the affected residents meeting their unfortunate ends once again, well, that's unlikely. Death wouldn't be a particularly beneficial alternative to what you've unleashed this time.

However, there's still the matter of sorting out the spirits now. I'm interested in hearing what you lot have already tried when it comes to dealing with what you've unlocked, but my advice for getting the black spirit to relinquish control is to let the rest do the work for you. Last time this happened, I was able to fix it, but it's beyond my power now.

Discuss it amongst yourselves, trade your theories; I'm sure you'll come up with something. I'll help with what I can. Sooner would be better, though- I make no promises that my former comrades won't take measures to deal with you if this isn't resolved internally within a few weeks.

[ooc: arright kids, true to John's word, he'll be overseeing the discussion. He won't be telling people how to fix this problem, but he'll answer whatever questions he can and give some advice here and there. see what you can work out amongst yourselves and feel free to ping me if I'm needed and don't show up. if nothing comes up within a week, we'll throw you a more obvious bone or two. tally ho~]

I have a question!

What do the spirits actually usually want? I mean do they want people using them or land or what?

Well, as I said, they can't exactly speak to tell us that... I can only sense from Nala, for example, that she has a love of imparting her gift to others, and even moreso of having the knowledge being used. The others are less open about it, some even making themselves difficult to find.

So maybe they want people to learn from them a little bit? But not all of them...

Well, if you think of it... they don't have physical form. So while they are one with nature, they can't draw from it or make use of it the way people can. They communicate to us how we can use it for ourselves, after all ... so perhaps they're using us now, the way we've used them.

...Do you think they mind being used?

Well, they do eventually teach those who seek them out. But I wonder if some might start to get bothered if the person moves on from them completely without looking back, after all the trouble gone through to contact them in the first place...

So that's why they might be claiming people?

No, I don't think that has anything to do with it. They're claiming people in response to the appearance of Twila. If we could only get each person who is affected to relay what they feel in relation to that spirit, we can start to get somewhere.

Unfortunately, there is a large majority of people who are either avoiding this entry, or don't have much to say on the matter...

Or their spirit partner doesn't want 'em to say anything?

Perhaps. But I'll see what I can do.
