I arrived here exactly one year ago, so yes. I assume the shocks are nothing new, either?
While reading the helpful little tutorial document, I got the feeling that she isn't normally here. Seems like she has everything and everyone here on high alert. But, even so... I'm left with an uncomfortable feeling.
Yours is called Morca, if you're curious. Mine is Mooshua, which frankly makes me sound like I'm a Minotaur. I didn't sign off on this, and I assume you didn't, either. They're almost identical, aside from hair colors and the like. It makes me wonder...
Yes. They're a bit more potent than what I asked for from Elias, so with any luck, I'll be able to find what I need. I'll be careful, don't worry. It's all just a little bit of investigating.
[Marco nods, mildly perplexed, and immediately remembers that neither can Joshua see him nor are words going to appear on his phone if he doesn't write them himself. Right.
In any case, strange as that is - and as much as he would like to know what Joshua is thinking - something else weighs more heavily on him right now.]
[Hm? That's an odd question. He pauses, watching the words for a moment. Marco isn't nearby, or he could just skim the intent off of his surface thoughts.]

I assume you're not in the E+L compound. Are you alright?
<marco>
In the compound.
I'm okay.
[
At least for now.]<Composing>
Good.
As long as you're safe and with someone you know, that may be for the best.
<marco>
I'm with Fiddleford.
But what do you mean?
Is something going on at the compound?
<Composing>
There's surveillance everywhere. Something doesn't feel right.
<marco>
Is this your first time in Felfri?
The surveillance isn't entirely unexpected.
But something DOES seem off.
Worse compared to last time, I have to admit.

<marco>
The Fog, however, is very new.
There was no trace of it the last two times I was here.
<Composing>
Felfri is the origin point for the people in the visors in the Arcade, correct? Is Elias linked to it, then, or is E+L a sort of parallel Elias?
<marco>
Give Marco, like, a minute. He's gonna have to take it one step at a time.]
It is¿
<Composing>
As far as I know? I was told they're terminally ill and offered themselves up.
<marco>
<Composing>
[Which makes him wonder...]
It's the reason I've been exclusively feeding from the Arcade. A bit more humane-sounding.
<marco>
I never ꭤsked.
<Composing>
So, I take that to mean that you don't know whether they're linked or not, then.
<marco>
I know that’s not too helpf▒l. Sorry.
<Composing>
I'll let you know if I find anything out of the ordinary, but in the meantime, please stay safe.
<marco>
That's it?
<Composing>
Did E+L have lieutenants the last time?
<marco>
Not to my kn▜wledge.
I was never able to get in touch with E░L previously, though.
<Composing>
It's funny, but they look an awful lot like bootleg versions of the three of us. Plus another one that I don't recognize.
I have access to my abilities from home here, so I'm going to see if I can track down E+L. If I can, I'll let you know.
<marco>
Oh.
Your... gⱺd abilities, right?
Be careful.
<Composing>
Yes. They're a bit more potent than what I asked for from Elias, so with any luck, I'll be able to find what I need. I'll be careful, don't worry. It's all just a little bit of investigating.

You're not mad?
<Composing>
Mad? About what, the fakes?
