[ Staring at him in some more confusion, before he'll add in: ]
I had no idea you would have access to my full name.
[ JUST GOING TO SAY THAT... ]
Yes, I did. I touched some rubble that seemed to be of some girl, in the area with the church and the odd German voices, then I lost all feeling. I must have logged out ... because I also fell unconscious.
Do you have an explanation for that?
[ It's entirely possible Zelkova doesn't know, but he is hoping he has some information. Keyword hope. ]
Right, well. I'm not going to go through that all over again if I can help it.
[ He's sure whatever it was, he won't be experiencing that again. ]
I'll shoot you a quick message or something.
[ Ganymede backpedals a second because there's something else. Kind of like 'oh and another thing', but him making the realization a bit belated. He is not the big brain in the group, ok. ]
Wait, what do you mean it wasn't normal? What did it look like on your end? Don't log outs all look like people are just...logging out? Or do you mean because my avatar fell down or something when I went unconscious?
[ He's a little nervous, because it could have dire consequences, of course. Or he can be back in the hospital and it is Not his first time even before this landing in there, so it was not fun for SO many reasons. ]
Maybe, maybe not.
[ There's a small pause, though. ]
...Someone else can run into this sort of thing, can't they?
[ Is it? Ganymede isn't exactly the type of person to jump at the call.
So, he's thinking about it, especially since he's uncertain of what this entails. What this 'something' might even be.
...But, he knows one thing for sure—which is that he doesn't want to let go of whatever he has just yet. Some of the people they have met must feel the same, right? So, he should only do what he can—and his expression becomes a bit more determined as his eyes lock on Zelkova without a hint of doubt. ]
Whatever it is, tell me about it, because I'm prepared to use it.
[ Zelkova holds out his hand, and a glowing crystal appears over his palm. ]
I'm working on developing the specific use for it, but you'll know when the time comes. The only thing I want is for you to keep this quiet. Not because it's dangerous to have this item, but because I don't want the other players panicking. I've heard that panic only makes things get worse.
[ When he does, the crystal disappears into Ganymede's avatar, and a brief message shows up onscreen: Key Item: Strange Core C Obtained. It will not show up in his inventory, should Ganymede go to look. ]
Thank you, Ganymede. If you ever have questions or need support, you can message me. I'll do whatever I can to help you out.
[ Ganymede does in fact go to immediately look, so it's all fine and dandy with him. ]
Right. I'll let you know.
I guess I don't have to worry about you too much when you're such a high level either, but...hopefully we'll meet again in good circumstances.
[ Figuring that is the end of it, he gives a small wave, and honestly he's not sure if you can even add an admin to your friends list but he sends a request anyway.
Either way, he will be leaving the area soon enough. ]

[ His address, his name... his phone number. Don't worry about it. ]
You fell unconscious? You say you lost all feeling... what does that mean? What did it feel like?
no subject
Silly terminology aside, he does answer the questions: ]
I did. All I felt...it was as if each part of my limbs and my entire body went numb all over, and then I blacked out. That's what I mean.
It was awful.
no subject
[ But he'll be keeping that description in the back of his mind, just in case. ]
How are you feeling now? Normal?
no subject
Does he accept it, though? He doesn't really know. He has to think about it more. ]
I do now. Naturally, I'm not inclined to over-do it, but as far as I know, I'm not suffering from any further debilitating effects...
[ But even if Zelkova has no answers, no explanations, no hints, there's something else that occurs to him to ask: ]
...Has this ever happened before to anyone in 'the World'?
no subject
[ But he'll need to do some real digging if he wants to see what exactly caused it. ]
If something in the environment looks off, call on me instead of touching it yourself.
no subject
[ He's sure whatever it was, he won't be experiencing that again. ]
I'll shoot you a quick message or something.

[ Spooky stuff, huh? ]
no subject
[ YEAH THAT'S HELLA SPOOPY, ACTUALLY ]
1/2
[ But Zelkova for his part doesn't seem terrified, at least? ]
It really wasn't a normal way of logging out.
no subject
[ And now, a flash of concern crosses his face. ]
I can't say for sure that it won't happen again.
no subject
Maybe, maybe not.
[ There's a small pause, though. ]
...Someone else can run into this sort of thing, can't they?
no subject
[ Zelkova frowns, bringing a hand up to his chin. ]
I have something that you can use to protect yourself and others if things ever come down to it.
[ He looks up at Ganymede. Is this something he wants the responsibility of having? ]
no subject

no subject
...Basically, you want me to keep information about this item to myself for the time being.
[ Ganymede thinks he can do that.
And whatever else he needs to keep mum about. It's like keeping everyone from knowing what part you are in a show before the time is right. ]
I'm not sure how having this item can be dangerous. But, fortunately, I'm good at keeping things hidden.
no subject
Thank you, Ganymede. If you ever have questions or need support, you can message me. I'll do whatever I can to help you out.

I hope so too.
[ And... he accepts the friend request! ]
