So.

[It's a wonderful way to start a video out, Cayde's quite aware of that; eloquence, thy name is Exo.]

Anyone feeling a little...strange recently? Perhaps a bit normal?

[He's weedling for answers and not being subtle about it, no apologies ever. Not when he can feel his Light racing through his veins in sharp pulses. The start and stop nature of it, and what Astoria had said previously about the temple itself, is equal parts comforting and horrifying. One moment he feels alive and the next nothing, back to nothing more than a dulled machine.]

I know our lovely lady in the sky supposedly gave us all magic, I don't know I've only seen it, but I mean. Anyone feeling a little bit more like themselves then they have in a while?

[This is way too much of a coincidence.]

[Well now, this is the first time he's actually had anyone actually sling questions back at him. Interesting, for sure.]

Just a friendly, neighborhood circle member who's trying to be helpful, yeah?

[resistivity]

Helpful by... doing what, exactly?

( it's not like the guy is offering any solutions!! )

[sendinthecavalry]

By figuring out if there's weird stuff going on!

[Solid logic, right there!]

[resistivity]

It's obvious that there's weird stuff going on. You'll have to do one better than that.

( he's a detective, cayde. sorry. he's just like this. )

[sendinthecavalry]

Yeah, but we need to quantify (is that even the right word?) what exactly all weird stuff is. And what better way than having everyone gimme their experiences? That way there's a pool of data to draw on so we can make some conclusions.

[resistivity]

( a bit of a put-upon sigh. )

Yes, it's the right word.

( this guy is reminding him of varrick. spirits help us all. )

Who's this 'we' that's making conclusions?

( because he's talked to this guy for like... two minutes, and he doesn't seem terribly inclined to share in any way that isn't obtuse and unhelpful. )

[sendinthecavalry]

I knew it! Score one for me!

[Take that, Ikora! Who isn't here to witness this glorious moment, but that doesn't deter Cayde's gloating in the least.]

You ever heard of the collective we? Like, all of us here. We're a thinking pool, lotta smart brains from a lot of places out there. So think of it like a public forum, a think tank.

[resistivity]

I'm pretty sure that's really only applicable if you're making contributions of your own.

( 'and not being cagey af' is the thing that he politely does not add. )

[sendinthecavalry]

I have made a contribution, the contribution of bringing up that something seems wrong! That's the point where everyone else gets to dive off of, that's how these things go.

[It's...logic, at least?]

[resistivity]

( spirits, who is this guy. beyond the name, which is obvious on the bracelet id. )

I'm pretty sure people had that figured out before you posted about it. When you're asking people for information, you really should make a habit of offering some of your own.

[sendinthecavalry]

Hey, the point of posting about it is to get a collective group-think going on. Even if people already know, what good does it do if they call keep it to themselves?

[Logic!]

But fine, hit me. I am a fount of information that's overflowing.
