[It's a nice, quiet day in Hadriel, at least as far as city-wide things go, but who knows how long that'll last. So Lance is taking advantage of it, both in terms of going out for a walk to get some fresh air and also making a post on the network; he has something important to talk about, after all.]
Hello everyone. I'd like to preface what I'm about to ask by saying that I understand some here may have concerns regarding speaking about this subject over the network, and so if you would prefer to talk in person I'm willing to meet with you.
[Another reason it being a nice day is helpful.]
I'm interested in hearing opinions on the issue of the Null that posted to the network a few weeks ago. In such a complicated situation it's difficult to consider all information and every possibility, and the people here have such vastly different experiences that can lead to unique conclusions and insights. The more ideas and reasons we all have to consider, the better informed our choices can be.
[Including, potentially, ideas of what to do about the situation other than the obvious two of 'kill it' or 'let it live happily ever after'.]
If you were not here for the last battle with the Null your opinion is just as important as those of the people who were present, as you're providing a viewpoint that, although lacking in specific experience, makes up for it with objectivity.
[In other words, they may not have a personal grudge against the Null that affects their opinions.]
I'd also like to note that this is all completely voluntary, and if you don't want to share your opinion that's fine; I'm just interested in hearing what people think and why, particularly due to experience and insight I may not have on a subject like this. Additionally, individuals who are still undecided in where they stand could benefit from hearing points and arguments they may not have had a chance to consider before.
Thank you.
[Considering this is such a serious topic, it can't hurt to be a little extra polite when asking people to do something potentially dangerous, right?]

[Metal is definitely not something he thinks of as having any sort of smell at all.]
We have a plan for looking for it though, so with any luck that'll go okay. We just... Will need that luck to continue.
[Which is an understatement.]
You've been here longer and know the gods better than I do; if they found out, what do you think the best course of action would be?
[No promises on if he'll follow her advice or anything, but he genuinely wants her insight.]
no subject
[ All jokes aside, there's a moment's pause as she tries to think how she imagines it going. ]
Be prepared for them to try and find it ruthlessly. Interrogate people until they can, eradicate it as quickly as possible. Kill it first, ask questions later. They also likely won't ever trust anyone that kept it from them again.
[ She knows that Fear or Sorrow would strike it down immediately, anyway. Most of the gods, she thinks, would. And she can't blame them considering what The Null did to their people, did to them. ]
no subject
[But he's joking too, and it doesn't last long at her next response.]
Yeah, that's... Kind of what I was worried about. Not the trust issue, but what they might do to find out who has it.
no subject
[ She actually hadn't considered that luck and boredom were not, in fact, emotions. ]
Probably nothing good. I don't think Hope would let any of them kill us directly, but- It also probably wouldn't be pretty.
no subject
Great. Yeah.
[Pretty much as he thought, and he's not sure if her confirmation is reassuring or terrifying.]
Well... Thank you, for your help. Would you prefer to keep a distance should we indeed find the Null, or do you want to be involved?
[Considering her history with the gods, he isn't sure she wants to be actively in the midst of things even if she agrees with the idea or protecting Name.]
no subject
If that makes sense.
no subject
[If they find it, if they discover anything really useful, if someone destroys it. But nothing too specific, like their actual plans or what they're working on at the moment.]
