You must reach the state of being a god or something similar. Is that it?

[ that makes sense. after all, if it's supposed to be some kind of divine tree like how it is in her world's records, then...

but she is also thinking these scholars be getting high to connect to a tree. ]

[dendroculi]

Something to that effect, yes. In my case, it's because my power as the Dendro Archon and Irminsul's existence are intertwined.

I think it would probably be possible for the other archons to form a connection if they tried to, since my assistant was able to, but... none of them have tried as far as I'm aware.

[diluvian]

Dendro?

[ lambda doesn't know this element, nahida. please explain. ]

If they're as busy as you seem to be, I'm not too surprised.

[dendroculi]

[RATSHAKES YOU]

Ah... it's the element that has to do with plants and trees.

[she smiles.]

We all have our own duties, and... for the most part, we stay out of each others' affairs. So I'm not familiar with what they would be busy with, but I'm sure they are busy with something.

[the tsaritsa is on thin ice though.]

[diluvian]

[ SFJSFJFSALFSJ i'm an innocent ara.....

lambda would think the tsaritsa is valid in her own way if she ever learned about her. ]

It sounds like being an Archon is a lonely affair.

[dendroculi]

[YOU ARE NOT]

...it could be worse. I see a lot of people these days, just not other Archons.

[diluvian]

[ i'm a victim.....

she tilts her head. ]

Were you not able to see many people at all, before?

[dendroculi]

[im so fckin convinced simon killed lambda im saying it here where it can be timestamped ive been convinced since we found that the monkey's bite was a match you can laugh at me at unlocks if im wrong]

Yes, I... kept mostly to myself in the past.

[diluvian]

[ well, you aren't alone in thinking this right now. i'll say that much. ]

By choice?

[dendroculi]

...

[well, she'd been trying to keep it vague. but she doesn't want to lie, either, so after a moment she shakes her head.]

[diluvian]

You were locked away, somehow.

[ that's the logical conclusion. ]

By the people who abused your authority?

[dendroculi]

...yes. It didn't start out that way... it wasn't them, at first. The people who shut me away were their predecessors, five hundred years ago.

I thought it was what my people wanted, so I cooperated.

[diluvian]

[ she tilts her head. ]

Why did you think it's what your people wanted?

[dendroculi]

...I lost much of their faith in me when I lost my memories and reverted to this form.
