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.

	Hopefully it just sank and doesn't get brought back up to the beach. [He's not sure how well it compares to your average body of water since the place is all a little bit artificial. Or a lot artificial.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Jack blinks a bit. He honestly didn't even think of that. He hasn't really thought much about the pearls at all since he lost them, except for that faint lingering regret for them.] Uh, yeah. Good point. Although if the whole place really is virtual, perhaps the very act of throwing them away actually made them disappear altogether? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Or if the wardens are the ones who wanted us to have them in the first place maybe they'll show back up no matter what we do. [He is the most positive thinker.] I guess we can't really know. It sounds like some people are having a really hard time getting rid of theirs. How was it for you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Woah, that was totally the wrong icon last time, wasn't it? Random nearly-naked Jack! foreverjack 2015-02-03 09:26 pm UTC (link)
	It was hard, yeah. Really hard. Even after Ianto told me it was the pearls making me so angry - and I believed him - I held out right till the end, till I had nothing left to give. [His face is sombre.] Even once I wanted them gone, I couldn't do it myself. I had to get him to do it for me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	So... This, telling people, it's not going to be enough. [Not shocking, but it means there needs to be a plan B.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, okay, you have a point there! g foreverjack 2015-02-05 10:05 pm UTC (link)
	[He shakes his head, lips pursed ruefully.] No, it's really not. Especially if they're getting good feelings from them. That's gotta make them even harder to give up. [His teeth show briefly.] We might have to go on some sort of a raid! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ripping pearls out of people's hands? That's probably not going to go over well. [This is not a no. When there isn't a choice, there isn't a choice. Sometimes you have to kick the front door down and raid the house with salt-firing guns even if it terrifies the family.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Probably not. It's the sort of thing people like us have to do occasionally though, isn't it?

And then we'd have to dispose of them. I'm thinking burying 'em might make more sense than throwing them in the water?

[You've got him worrying, now, Sam, that his red pearls are going to wash up on the beach. Or that he's going to come across them during one of his morning swims and get hooked all over again.]

	[He nods at that. He's had to do a lot of questionable things because they were necessary—or he believed they were—in the past.] Have you wanted it back since you got rid of it? Is it the kind of thing you think you'd end up digging back up if you knew where it was buried? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2015-02-10 09:15 am UTC (link)
	Uh... kind of? There's still a little bit of a pull there, you know? But for me it's nowhere near strong enough to make me want to find them again. Of course, I might just be exceptionally strong-minded! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2015-02-15 12:11 am UTC (link)
	Maybe. It's good to know at least. It might mean the hard part's over once we separate people from their pearls. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2015-02-15 04:45 pm UTC (link)
	Certainly was with me, but I haven't heard about many other people's experiences. It'd be good to know what you get from other people here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2015-02-15 06:26 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, at least with people talking about it more now we can get a better handle on what these things are doing and why. I didn't know it was affecting so many different kinds of emotions. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2015-02-17 07:59 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah. Seem to be all sorts of them out there. Let me know how you get on, okay? I'll be here if you do need some help wresting them out of people's hands! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2015-03-01 04:39 am UTC (link)
	Thanks. It's sounding like we might need to. I'll keep you up-to-date. [He gives a little head nod before cutting the feed.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
