Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Again, it'd have to be something pivotal- something integral to who they are, wouldn't it?" If Jeremiah was following the line of thinking properly, at least. People would have to give memories that were defining of who they were and that could, at least, not be feasible for some.

"When you say bind the two pieces, are you referencing the jar of blood used to," there was a look on his face, as if he was searching for a better word and failed, "wash the sigil on Melany's shoulder and seal it to her bone?"

"Yep," said Pride. "Blood's also like, life and power. You can't live without it. So you'd have to come up with something that had a lot of time and devotion put into it, or something easy like blood. Like, if you could get people to create a True Name for themselves and use that to sign... It's not really a thing unless people believe in that crap, though. Lots of magic runs off what you expect to happen."

It seemed any sort of symbolic representation, creation, would required a certain effort on a part of all individuals involved. To truly capture themselves in a name or a symbol..

"It seems the level of sacrifice, memory or magic or otherwise, be great in most cases. With the blood... how much blood are we talking? Is it really so easy a thumb print?" It seemed like much less of a sacrifice in comparison.

"Yes," agreed Jeremiah, at research and planning. It was better that if they did this, it was their way- not the old ways. "You've answered the questions we had and gave us some insight." His shoulders rolled and stretched as he gave Pride a smile.

Some ideas had been reinforced, others he was already pushing aside.

"I've only one last question and we'll likely be on our way." There was a slightly serious expression on his face. "We can likely do something to stabilize your magic, a provision for you within the new Charter, but do you still want that?" The same question had been asked of Noeh who was done in so many ways. "To still be part of the process to filter the magic?"

Pride shook his head. "I'd rather not. I'm... I'm really old, okay? And I'm tired of always being, you know, eighteen. I want to grow up and live my life. I see the same people and they get to live their lives; why shouldn't I get the same?"

"We'll work it out.." Alg agreed with a small smile. He just hoped all of this went according to plan.

And now with Pride's input, they had a better idea about moving on towards the ultimate goal.

Alg glanced at Jeremiah, wondering if their questions were all answered, and if they should be moving along. At least Pride could get dressed, even if he'd be removing his own calming influence.

"What you want matters and ... thank you for speaking with us." Jeremiah tilted his head towards the rest of the clothing they had brought. There were a few other things in there, a jacket that would not be as big and assorted sundries. "The rest of that is all yours. May come back later to check on you but for now ... we'll leave you be."

They did, after all, have more to work with now. A small nod was given to Algie, Jeremiah's shoulders rolling as he pushed himself up to stand. His hand was offered to Algie to pull him to his feet.

A thought crossed his mind. "I doubt it is necessary but ... if something goes wrong or things get worse and you need help? I believe you can, for lack of a better word, summon me. I'll sense it and come." It was something that had been told to Noeh as well (or would be when that point is hit in that RP). "For now we'll head out."

There was work to do.
