#Ippuru's warning can be heard by...pretty much everyone that was mentioned

[soulsxng]

"Whatever happened, he's definitely shaken up...but it was hard to tell if it was the news itself, or whatever Creation wanted to talk to him about. He talked with me a little bit, but he was pretty antsy, and ended up heading back to his place with Mimi before long. I guess...if it were me, I'd give him some time to calm down, and then try to go talk to him? You know how he is-- if you come off too strong with worrying after him when he's already freaked out, he'll just push you away."

Across from Rourke, Jaspern sighed. Slumping heavily back in his chair with a quick upturn of his hands on the desk; as if acknowledging that there was little he could do, at this point in time.

"And Tia?"

"More or less the same. I managed to find her after JJ left, though she didn't want to talk at all. She pretty much told me that she was just stopping by to get some stuff together before she went to spend some time with Quella...so she's headed to Vasyri, I figure. Ati Phel said he'd let me know when she got there. At least when she calms down from stuff like this, she'll come and talk to you...so you should probably give her some time, too."

Time, huh.

Jas crossed his arms over his chest, lips pursed in an obviously displeased frown. He wanted to check on JJ and Tiariia himself, but...well, he knew that both of his kids wouldn't want to be bombarded with questions and concerns right away.

"Creation is trying to drag them into the middle of this mess, I know it. All because they don't want to risk their own damned necks." They couldn't. Ahnia's king knew that all too well-- should any of the Creationary Trio fall in a situation like this, it could spell the downfall of existence as a whole.

But that didn't mean he wasn't going to gripe about it when they kept involving his children in shit like this.

"...When they summon everyone together for the announcement, I'll be going back, as well. I want to see people's reactions, so we can start figuring out who might give JJ, Tia, and the others trouble to work with, and who will be easier to approach right away. I'm going to drive myself up a wall if I stew here much longer."

[To those presently capable of perceiving Our voice, We greet you.]

As if on cue, Ippuru's voice rang through Jaspern's head. Echos of different tones layering on top of each other. Some fading and trailing off, while others continued on. The language Creation spoke wasn't one that any of their creations were capable of speaking, but somehow their meaning always came across perfectly clear to even those hearing it for the first time.

[For some number of you, this may well be your first time hearing Us, and as such, We shall make Ourselves known. We are the beings that you may know...as Creation. We should hope that you do not choose to regard this as mere jest, for Our purpose in speaking to you now is of the utmost importance.]

"Ah...that's happening soon, isn't it? Well, if you still need some help getting rid of some energy after you get back, I can meet you on the training grounds!"

[Soon, We will be calling you to Us. You, leaders of the realms and species. Deities, and those of exceptional power and influence. Make yourselves prepared for when We summon you, and do not resist. Conduct yourselves with propriety while in Our presence, for We shall scant tolerate any frivolous wasting of Our time. Take this to be your one due warning, and We shall avail Ourselves of your presence thusly.]

"Thanks, Rouri. I think I'll take you up on that. See if Alteo wants to join in too, yeah? I'd feel bad knocking you around too much, you know."

"Hey! Just you wait, I'm going to take you down at least once! I won't even need Teo's help!"

If that.
