[He can be heard rummaging around, though clearly not taking his time to answer.]

I admit that I don't know how long they've been here. So far our conversations have mostly involved "tell me where you are" and "i'm going to find you no matter where you run". Beyond that, very little information sharing has occurred.

[devoutish]

Yeah. What caused your difficulties at home?

[peacemongering]

I had no difficulties with this person back on our world. I was one of the few that could talk this person down from a confused paranoid rage, but my attempts here have been thwarted.

[That seems like enough information sharing for the time being. He changes tracks.]

I don't want this person to hurt me, but more, I don't want them to hurt anyone else. Do you have any advice on defusing such a situation? Could it be MN poisoning?

[devoutish]

It could be. Yeah. Paranoia is a symptom. Could be heightened by a paranoia that already exists.

Of course, knowing more details can only help. They don't cause difficulties to you, but you did say they were difficult. Difficult with who? Who do they lash out at, normally?

[peacemongering]

I haven't the resources that I had back on my world. Perhaps a face-to-face meeting may be the only way to know for certain how deeply into this angry psychosis this person as fallen.

[Well, usually there was no difficulty. Medication and electricity took care of that, but certain... malfunctions required a steady hand.]

Sometimes they did not appreciate the medical intervention.

[devoutish]

What sort of medical intervention?

[peacemongering]

[He's back to rustling around.]

IV fluids, anti-anxiety medications when and where necessary, physical check-ups, psychological exams. As I said, when this person had a task to direct and focus them, they were such a good team player. Now I can't tell what team this one is playing for.

[devoutish]

Are you all right there, mate? You seem a bit distracted yourself.

[peacemongering]

[The rustling pauses. He sounds uncomfortable, as if caught in the act.]

Yes... I just want to be prepared to head into the cold if I suspect this person is getting close. I'm not a young man anymore, so a head start is what I will need.

[devoutish]

Of course. Yeah.

[This has to be Bucky or Stein. The violent impulses, the history with medical intervention... it all fits.]

Are you planning to meet face to face, eventually?

[peacemongering]

It seems like I have little choice in the matter. Unless you have another suggestion? You know more about MN poisoning and whatever other afflictions occur here better than I do.

[devoutish]

Take someone along with you. Do you trust anyone here?

[peacemongering]

No, I haven't met anyone face-to-face at all yet.

[And let's be honest, he's at a physical disadvantage in most cases.]

It seems most people are in the North as well. Either way, I have been asked to look into a building for signs of a struggle by one of the other people here. I plan on doing that before trying any long journeying North myself.

[devoutish]

Where are you?

[peacemongering]

Downtown at present.

[devoutish]

Ah, you've just missed us.

[peacemongering]

I was searching for survival supplies. So would you suggest avoiding confrontation? My priority is to keep this person from potentially hurting others.

[devoutish]

Well, it's like I've said, mate. It's not easy to give good advice when I know so little about the person and your situation. But it sounds like they're focused on you, doesn't it? Have you heard about them hurting anyone else here? Their name may be in Elric's guide, if they have.

[peacemongering]

[He is quiet for a moment.]

It does, so I suppose it is a worldly issue rather than one found here specifically. I will simply use my best judgement on the matter. I thank you for your time, sir.

[devoutish]

Is that a no, then? They aren't in the guide, they haven't gone after others? I would like to know at least that, mate; I'm traveling with a woman and a little girl.

[peacemongering]

No, they were my responsibility in my world. They will be mine in this one as well. Travel well, and thank you for hearing me out.

[devoutish]

You hero sorts do always say that, and it never goes well for the rest of us.

[peacemongering]

You have no other suggestions, and I don't feel comfortable divulging the kind of information that would cast this person in a light that I would be blamed for. It is a matter as much for other's safety as my own.

[devoutish]

Why, exactly, would you be blamed?

[peacemongering]

I have no doubt they will assume all new information will come from me.
