To the Gentlefolk of Other Worlds,

My name is Sister Mercy Graves of the Spring Tide. I have been told this is the best means by which to reach all who dwell in hope and fear in this place of refuge. It has been a difficult time for many, myself included. The creatures in the water who took us from the streets and wrapped us in a terrible cloth have been slain, but their scars remain in our hearts.

I would ask, who among us found themselves transformed? How have you felt since? I have aids for sleep if you find yourself entangled with the Dread Watcher's claws. She that hooks and hangs a body with nightmares. I have taken to lessons in the healing facilities in ADI. I would surely welcome the company of those who would learn, as well. And if you have knowledge of the tinctures and tools of a practitioner, I would beg your guidance as I train in these new arts. There is so very much to learn and I look forward to the challenge of it, that I might help those who best need it in our fight against the dark forces of this world.

As seasons turn and carry on,
So to the winds we fly.
The hope we bring is never gone,
It strengthens by and by.
The cheer is ever in our hearts,
A song of joy to bide.
We all must love and do our parts
To raise the great Spring Tide.

May the Spring Bring Life to You and Yours,
Mercy Graves

You're so serious. It's a given when it comes to what happened, but - dark forces? Really?

It's natural for good and bad to co-exist. Did you not run into strange things back where you came from?

[graveyounglady]

These are grave matters. I have never said good and bad could not coexist, but there was a wickedness in those creatures, pure evil that I have only known once before. The strange things I know are not like this. They are not transformation and joy at suffering and fear.

I have learned about so many new things since coming here. This was not a pleasant lesson.

Regards,

On my side, these things are all too familiar to me. I've been dealing with them literally all of my life. I advise getting used to it quickly, or it'll tear you down.

How are you doing after this lesson? You need to find more enjoyable things to learn from.

[Oh, it's him!]

Dear Mr. Gojou,

I cannot say I am as well as I would hope. It has been many years since I have seen such evil. I have fought against it an will not fade into the shadows for fear of it, but I think I may better at healing than at fighting these creatures straight on right now. I need to learn to be a better fighter. I did not know what to do when I was a seal. How would you have fought?

Regards,
Mercy Graves

[120vision]

I can't say how I would have fought since I didn't have that experience. I didn't have the limitations all of you had by being stuffed into seal skins. But I've learned how to utilize what I have and make the most of it. This is how I'm adapting to this world without proper use of my Eyes.

I can teach you how to fight. But you need to be fully committed and prepared for it to be difficult.

Dear Gojou,

I have been digging graves since I could hold a spade, sir. I am no stranger to hard work.

I must ask what you mean by your eyes, though? You did not seem to be blind. Do you need glasses? I can see what may be available.

Regards,
Mercy Graves

[120vision]

I'm sure a specific kind of glasses would help me, but I'm pretty sure they're not made outside my world. My powers rely on using my eyes and I have more than two of them. Since I arrived here, they only function as would anyone else's. Quite frequently all I'm seeing with the other pairs is the clothes over them. I'm having to focus on trying to see with only two and it tends to give me a headache.

Dear Gojou,

Where are your extra eyes?

Regards,
Mercy Graves

[120vision]

Underneath my clothes.

奇妙ではない、
Satoru Gojou

[graveyounglady]

Dear Gojou,

Where beneath your clothes. This seems a very strange thing to be born with. How many eyes do you have?

Regards,
Mercy Graves

[Is this impertinent? Yes. Does she care? No. No, she does not. What in all the earth and soil?]

[120vision]

Two on my torso, one for each arm. They're typically not visible back home, so I'm curious as to whether anyone else can see them here. Wanna give it a try?

私の目は美しいです,
Satoru Gojou

[graveyounglady]

Dear Gojou,

Yes, please. I will meet you where you will. I am surely curious to see such wonders. A man I know how an extra toe, but never extra eyes.

Regards,
Mercy Graves

[Show her the things!]

[120vision]

What apartment are you in? I could come on over. I promise this is cooler than an extra toe.

六つの目、尊厳の欠如、

[graveyounglady]

Dear Gojou,

I am in A1. I await your arrival with a burning curiosity.

Regards,
