>Derrick: Suggest quick-crafting something that could increase Lethos' mental fortitude; possibly two as infectors might use Filma as a shortcut to Lethos' soft noggin, a la tinfoil hat. And of course suggest relocation to somewhere safer, Lucia or Derrick's home? Latter may be better since it's (hopefully) devoid of monsters beyond two peaceful ones.

Derrick: Should I craft some sort of tinfoil hat for Lethos? It might help protect her in the future.
Reggie: The infection takes many forms. It's no telling how it might make a comeback. With Lethos it was telepathy. With Samielle it was his bright light. I've seen instances of an infected entity simply in close proximity to another spread that way.
Reggie: So, if you want to waste creation rocks on another tinfoil hat, be my guest. -v-
Derrick: ....
Derrick: And relocation?
Reggie: Honestly, the most sure-fire way to avoid it for next time.
Wynter: She can stay here with us!!
Wynter: With uh... The Maid's permission of course.
Lucia: That's fine.
Wynter: Woopee!
Wynter: You're gunna love it here, girl!
Lethos: ... Alright then.
Derrick: Is it bad for monsters to be near the edge of the realms, Reggie?
Reggie: Well yeah, you saw what happened to Lethos.
Reggie: The edge has a certain allure to it... You might see it and get spooked out, but others feel like it's inviting them in.
Reggie: Monsters that walk into the void do not return, ever.
Reggie: And the ones that hang out close to the edge tend to only appear on higher levels of darkness.
Reggie: Remember, the further out you go into the void you automatically climb darkness levels until you're past 15, the point of no return.
Reggie: Lethos is so sensitive, just being on level 1 was enough to get herself hijacked.
Reggie: .... You said you haven't seen leafy boy in a while, right?
Derrick: Yes.
Reggie: Maybe you should send someone to check on him. Just in case.
Derrick: The monsters in the void, how is it that they can target monsters from the outside like that? Can they effect multiple monsters at once or just one at a time?
Reggie: .... This is a rare occurrence.
Reggie: My "shield" keeps them unaware that we even exist.
Reggie: They cannot see, hear, or locate our realm from their side.
Reggie: But some very clever bitches "broadcast" the infection. Like the radio.
Reggie: So it doesn't matter that we are hidden, if you have the right channel you can pick it up.
Reggie: And where Lethos was, and her ability to have all the channels, well... it was no wonder what happened.
Reggie: What's even crazier is, Lethos didn't just go crazy from the infection... She became a suitable host. One who could propagate her own broadcast from inside the realm. See how unlucky that was??
Reggie: Geez, if you didn't spook that thing out of her I'm scared to know what could have become of me-My house.
Reggie: We gotta be a little bit more cautious.
Derrick: Hmm...
Derrick: So tinfoil hats can work?
Reggie: If they do, they are not fool proof. You will need to keep adapting.
Reggie: It's possible that-- Hmm...
Reggie: Where is Stinky now that I think about it?
Reggie: He might be needed in this conversation. His trait has a propensity to "tune in" on the infection. We should cover our bases.
Reggie: Don't want anyone getting sick.
Wynter: OH!!
Wynter: Prince I almost forget to mention, ha...
Derrick: What is it?
Wynter: Itamie says there are no more bottles anywhere.
Wynter: She's not sure what to do, and she's worried about a meltdown of you-know-who.
Derrick: A meltdown?
Wynter: Yes, Mephita!
Wynter: She came back with her crystal missing and Itamie was frantic as hell wondering where it detonated.
Wynter: Mephita says the Messenger took care of it, we were very lucky!
Wynter: Let's not stretch that luck, huh?
Derrick: .....
There seems to be many things that need your attention all at once.
1. Deal with the bottle situation
2. Be Garreth
3. Be Lucas
RE: Lucidstuck II - HayDay - 06-07-2022
>Derrick: ask Wynter to tell Itamie to relocate Mephita outside. You must head to Uilos soon maybe he has some jars somewhere. Have lethos be dropped off here and tell Wynter to keep on eye on her and immediately try to alert us if anything happens.
RE: Lucidstuck II - Fellow - 06-07-2022
>Derrick: You can just take the crystals out of the bottles and toss them somewhere, right? Create a slingshot and get a reaper to just fling some crystals into death valley somewhere. Then go message Lucas.
RE: Lucidstuck II - ReedRGale - 06-07-2022

> Derrick: ask Itamie what happened to all the other bottles. Tell the reapers they have permission to repurpose things from your own kitchen as replacement for the bottles in the meantime.
> Derrick: Ask Ira how would her skills affect the crystals, would it be safe for her to us them as bullets? if so, perhaps they could go to the death valley entrance to Daesdyne's cave and just shoot down into the chasm to quickly get rid of them.

Itamie: Greetings Prince, Maid, familiars.
Derrick: That was fast.
Itamie: .... I couldn't help but overhear...
Itamie: Without proper storage, Mephita's crystals will slowly become a more complex issue.
Itamie: I heard you stay to just "Throw them in any old open space".
Itamie: The thought had crossed my mind. Only that it has become dangerous in the woods again.
Itamie: More fearsome monsters are roaming about, and throwing these crystals around will attract unwanted attention.
Derrick: Throw them off the cliff in death valley?
Itamie: I suppose that has little downside.
Itamie: Something to note as well.
Itamie: I took the liberty to track how quickly Mephium is able to be produced.
Itamie: I've discovered that Mephita is getting faster at it. Most likely because she's getting stronger.
Itamie: I suggest relocation to Death Valley in order to better manage her condition.
Itamie: With your permission?
Derrick: Yes, do it.
Itamie: Understood. I and a select few will take turns managing our new comrade.
Reggie: Aww, you got the kiddos taking care of each other.
Reggie: That's so sweet! ^v^
Itamie: I will continue to monitor her situation and let you know if anything changes.
Derrick: Thank you, keep up the good work, Itamie!
Derrick: You're very responsible!
Itamie: ....... T-thank you, Prince.
Itamie: I'm just doing my part.

>3.Lucas:Tell that despite the fact he is stronger doesn't mean you should still follow him. If he's so inclined to sending you to do these things. That means something must be stopping him from going after us himself. Ask her if she would like to stay with you that you could probably hide her and make the bully think your dead. Attempt to go to the fort system, maybe then you can find monster willing to help her.
