03 ⸸⸸ NETBOOK
Who: livio and YOU
What: new guardian info!!
When: few days after the race
Where: netbook
Warnings: unsure, will warn if they come up
[straight to the point as usual, he doesn't bother with formalities or introductions. anyone who's been here a while will recognize his weirdly perfect handwriting.]
I talked to the River Guardian and the big lizard in the river. The River Guardian's name is Sinann. The lizard is called The Behemoth.
The Behemoth said she's a daughter of Callan, the Lake Guardian. Callan isn't fond of humans, so we should be careful of him. The lake is her home, too, so it would be good if we can help her get back through to it somehow.
She isn't strictly allies with the false god, but will ultimately side with whoever is better for the forest. It would be best if we treat her and the uncorrupted nature with respect. She suggested we plant things in or by the river that will make good food for fish. She likes meat. I'm going to see about building her a shrine.
[...]
Also, please don't try to catch her.
If anyone has anything to add, or more information, please do so.

When Moder was corrupted, negotiating with her was almost like she wasn't hearing what I was saying — like the forest was only letting her hear what it wanted her to. But at least here, it sounds like a diplomatic approach isn't unreasonable.
We could give that a go?

How did you get through to Moder?

Then she "respawned" in the forest 'cause she's a strong Guardian and had the will to do so and I got all the evil out of her! So I went back into the forest and called for her and she came and we got her back to the Grove.

crying I'm so sorry Livio--
How I… ate her? Or how I called for her?
i'm LAUGHING
moving ON, he just... underlines "I got all the evil out of her."]

Oh, I understand. It's something I can just… do? Bishop Cicero from my church taught me a great many things. Experiencing the good in the world and making it a part of yourself, for starters, but also expelling evil from oneself. Though, in order to expel evil from oneself, the thing you're trying to expel evil from has to be a part of you to begin with, so I usually eat most of the people my commander deems "evil". So I eat them, usually.

Well. The Behemoth said Callan used to like at least one human. It doesn't sound to me like he's "evil." We might be better off just giving him space and letting him come around on his own terms.
