[Talia has been keeping relatively quiet over the network, but Jack's post caught her attention while she was checking up on things and she responds with a post of her own after gathering her thoughts.]

Hello... my name is Talia and I've had the pleasure of meeting a few of you since my rather rough arrival. [If by rough she meant near death, but that was a trivial matter right now.] As has been brought to your attention already, our hosts appear to be growing ever more impatient with us. In some areas this is as a simple as not offering us jobs, or refusing us service... In other areas, I have been physically jostled aside and I've little doubt that others have suffered similarly. I know rationing and I understand the stress that it puts upon a people, let alone a people that are 'suffering' unexpected guests. This is something more and it concerns me...

[She exhales slowly, because admitting to this had caused her problems in the past and directly caused her to be ostracized and targeted... needless to say, she was wary, but knew it was knowledge that needed to be shared.]

I would like it known that I am an Empath and a Mind Healer. One of the things this grants me is the ability to read the emotions of others and, if I choose, to sway them. The kedan are restless and they are angrier by the day... I'm the strongest Empath in my kingdom, but not even I can manage the entire expanse of Tu Vishan by myself at one time. I have been able to keep tempers calm around the Water Sector, but if you've need of me anywhere, at any time, you've but to send for me and I will come.

Otherwise, I will be making circuits throughout the Sectors and offering what help I may with my abilities. [And she'd continue to do so until she ran herself to the ground or the trouble came to an end.]

Good for you.

I'm Zatanna, by the way. In case you ever need an extra ear to talk about things with. And, actually, I really wouldn't mind talking to you about your powers some time. If you don't mind. It's pretty cool hearing about all the different kinds of magic that are out there in the universes.

[The offer is surprising and it gives her a true and genuine moment of pause before her posture and expression soften and she inclines her head.]

Thank you, Zatana. I think I would appreciate an ear to bend as much as anyone else; and I would be more than happy to sit down with you some time. I do not mind at all.

[She could see the genuine surprise, but couldn't fault her for it. Given how the conversation had been going thus far. Still, it was nice to know she could say something right, for once.]

Anytime you like.

I live in 3-A, Wood Sector.

[It was nice to know that she had some allies of a sort if she needed them.]

I look forward to it. I'm in 1-A, Water if you'd like to stop in at any time; my door is always open.

[Magic users gotta stick together]

I'll keep that in mind.

Take care, Talia.

[True facts.]

You as well, Zatanna.
