So it's been a minute since I've been on here, but I've been busy trying to figure out what to do with this martial arts school my sister wanted to start and I was helping with, as well as keeping the Great Protector happy. That's why I thought the fatigue I was feeling was more to do with me overloading myself than anything else.

But today I woke up and I'm, um, gray? And I can barely keep my eyes open and I have no idea if this has anything to do with my connection with the Great Protector, but Zumulong is quieter...smaller than she normally is and I think it might? Roz discovered that we're connected and she was connected to my sister as well, using us to sustain her here in Vallo without Ta Lo around.

With my sister gone though, I don't think I'm enough and I need some help figuring out a solution here.

	I don't think she's doing it on purpose. I think it's just the only way she can sustain herself, having some kind of connection to Ta Lo. But if I get some kind of boost or if she can supplement with some other source, maybe that can offload that strain? idk, I'm not magically inclined so I don't know if it's all bullshit, this spitballing.

Oh no, sorry, I didn't mean to imply she was. With your sister returning home that may have left an open conduit that attached to you because it couldn't have an opening? Which is me theorizing because we have so many different kinds of magic here. Supplementing with another source might be a good solution though. It won't break your connection with her but it will share the load to return to what you're used to?

No, what you're saying sounds like it absolutely makes sense. Magic is kind of like science so if you think of you and Zumulong as a circuit, what you're saying makes absolute sense.

	Sorry, I can normally read tone on here well, I'm just...tired. But that makes sense, all of it. You explained it better than what I can anyway. Roz is going to try some things, I'm hoping that will help with it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Honestly I'm rambling so there was a definite lack of tone and more meandering so you're good. Roz is brilliant so you are in very good hands. Also drink a lot of water to stay hydrated and carbs. Carbs are your friends because they give you fuel. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Okay, so I probably shouldn't smoke the Devil's weed? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Okay but that sounds like something an evangelical would warn against? Technically you could because it would give you the munchies and you would eat even more carbs? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I like your logic. Sold. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If there's a good excuse for eating more, you can count on me to find it. You stay positive, okay? A solution will be found and you'll be back to your non-gray self in no time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You really are super positive. You'd get along with my friend Katy if she was around. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	scrywitch 2022-06-01 02:01 am UTC (link)
	I hope she comes to Vallo, for you and so that I can meet her. My positivity was on thin ice back home but the community here in Vallo goes a long way to repairing damage done. They come together at the hardest of times to find a fix and are pretty accepting of anyone and everyone. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah, it's been nice being here if only because of how friendly everyone has been. But my family's back home and I lost the one good friend I had here, so I don't know if I really want to stick around, given the chance. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No, I absolutely understand that. I miss my coven back home a lot. Even if things are hard the people around you, the good ones, are still home. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It sucks it's not up to us who comes and goes, you know? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	scrywitch 2022-06-02 12:40 am UTC (link)
	It does. Though having that ability might be complicated too. I can only imagine the hell I'd catch for not bringing all the right people here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No good deed, I think. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	scrywitch 2022-06-02 12:50 am UTC (link)
	That is very much the truth. (Reply to this) (Parent)
