[Yuri is broadcasting this after just picking himself off the floor. His voice sounds strained and very unhappy. Which he is considering he'd just lost his lunch.]

Those bastards did something to my soul gem.

[She was only slightly surprised.]

You're heard of me.

...just for the record, only half of those stories are true. Probably.

[wolfstrike]

I'm just hoping the one about you being able to tell me more about what happened to my gem is true. But now you've got me curious.

[backwordscompatible]

Yes and no.

I can sense when things are off. Like if your stone is corrupted or if there's some sort of spell cast over it, or things like that. But something tells me I wouldn't be able to tell you anything you don't already know.

[Purposely avoiding the latter part of that statement? Yup~]

[wolfstrike]

[Fortunately for Zatanna, Yuri isn't the type to press the issue. Everyone has their stories, and sometimes they're best left alone.]

Well that's a handy skill to have. But yeah, I think it's pretty obvious there's something wrong with mine.

[backwordscompatible]

Obvious, yeah.

But what's interesting is that it sounds like a different kind of wrong than mine.

[wolfstrike]

Yeah, from what I hear, everyone's seems to be different. Almost as if it's tailored just for them.

[backwordscompatible]

Or if they have no idea what they're actually doing, and each failed attempt means they try something new the next time. Thus, the different results.

[wolfstrike]

Yeah, maybe. But the effects seem to be getting worse. I'm not sure if that means they're getting better or what.

[backwordscompatible]

Based on my experience with screwing up magically...it probably means they're getting more and more desperate. Trying more challenging rituals, with little regard for how big a change it results in.

[wolfstrike]

Damn. How many people have to suffer before they give this up?

[Or succeed. Either way, it's not good.]

[backwordscompatible]

Preferably, none.

Realistically? ...it could be as many as the entire Foreign population. We're the only ones with true Soul Gems.
