[ Sefton appears on the Plane with little fanfare. Over his shoulder is a messenger bag, and in his hand is a note. If one were to peek over his shoulder, they would see the elegantly written words upon it:

People confuse lust and love too often for my tastes. Are you one of those types? Maybe. Maybe not. Love isn't just physical attraction, friend. Love is also finding connections with others.
-J

And so he looks a little irritated, but attempts to be calm. Vaguely, to the people on the Plane, he asks— ]

Who's "J"?

[ As always, standard Sefton-disclaimer applies. ]

No. ... never met him.

[formervanguard.livejournal.com]

Then... how did you...?

[polarization]

... saw him.

[formervanguard.livejournal.com]

Just now? [She looks over her shoulder, just in case he's nearby.]

[polarization]

Yeah, but... it wasn't... [ He shakes his head, and reluctantly brings his pointer finger to rest on his temple. ] It was here.

[formervanguard.livejournal.com]

In... your mind? ... How? Is it some kind of magic?

[polarization]

Magic? No, it's... [ ... could it be somehow related to his knack? But, no, he didn't even touch her until afterward, so... ] I don't know what it was.

[She bites her lip, worried. Maybe Emil knows something...? Maybe she should go ask him. Maybe...]

Well, has it ever happened before?

[polarization]

No.

[She frowns, then warily shifts her gaze to the card in his hands.]

You don't think....?

[polarization]

... what?

[formervanguard.livejournal.com]

Could the card be doing it? [She looks down at her own.] If that's never happened to you before, and we just got these cards recently...

[polarization]

... No, I don't think so. I've had the card for a while. A few weeks, at least.
