Day 308 | Open Video [PEARLS PSA]
Hey. [Clearing his throat a little. He doesn't speak to everyone at once like this very often. But he's been working with Deanna to track this thing and now she's gone and he just needs to get the information out there even if he doesn't have all the details.] We have a situation. I've been talking to people and keeping an eye out and some of us are or have been affected by the pearls that were brought in from sector 6. [You know, by the green girl.]

I'm not sure exactly how they work, but they're amplifying or creating feelings in people. It could be anger or nothingness. [Those were a couple he was pretty certain about from Jack, Mal, and Korra.] But it could be more than that. It could be any emotion. [As far as he knows.]

If you have a pearl you need to get rid of it. [Driving this point home.]

If someone you know has a pearl don't touch it. It could transfer over to you. Just get them to...[yes, what? Put it in the trash] maybe just take them back to Sector 6 or call me and we'll talk about it. just don't keep it.

	No, but not like this. It's not real. You have one? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Does it matter if it's not real? [...] I'm just asking... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Nico, if you have one, it's dangerous. You aren't thinking straight. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2015-01-31 11:44 pm UTC (link)
	Yes I am. I'm fine. [See? He's smiling.] I'm better than I've been in years. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Happiness? This thing works with that too? Is that what he's hearing here?] Nico... I've seen people think they were better than ever. People who think they're getting everything they want and when it comes like this—easy. It gets bad—really bad—even when it doesn't feel like it ever could. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I know what bad is, Sam. This isn't! You're just assuming they're all bad because some of them are. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2015-02-01 02:24 am UTC (link)
	I'm assuming they're all bad because if something is too good to be true then it is. [His life has never been one with lucky breaks.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2015-02-01 03:20 am UTC (link)
	You don't know that. [He knows all about things being too good to be true. Yay, you're a demigod. So cool! By the way, you're a son of the most feared and hated god ever and they're going to project that onto you. Good luck.] Some things can be good. They have to be. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm not saying some things won't be good. I just don't think this is it. Think about it, some suspicious pearl from a sector we don't know anything about? It made one person feel like all her feelings were being drained and made other people angry all the time? Even if this one is making you feel happy it doesn't make it real.

	nico_di_angelo 2015-02-01 07:29 pm UTC (link)
	I don't care if it's not real! I don't want to go back to feeling the way I did before. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2015-02-01 11:04 pm UTC (link)
	[Okay, so reasoning isn't working. And he can understand that. If everything suddenly felt a lot better he wouldn't want to give that up easily either.] Nico... We don't know what the long-term effects of these are. I've seen good emotions go to dark places. [And he's predisposed to assume the worst.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2015-02-02 12:33 am UTC (link)
	Then we'll just have to find out. I can handle it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2015-02-02 01:12 am UTC (link)
	It's not that simple. At least one person without a pearl said she felt the effects just being near someone with a pearl. This is bigger than just you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2015-02-02 01:51 am UTC (link)
	I... [He presses his lips together and covers the cuff of his jacket, where the pearl is hidden. He hadn't known that.] I'm sorry. I need it. I can't. I have to go now. [He reaches up to cut the feed.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2015-02-02 02:23 am UTC (link)
	Wait! [But it's too late. The feed is cut and he doesn't have an argument convincing enough to overwhelm feeling good. This is going to be tricky.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
