These collars, from the ... Outer Authorities, is it?

What is their function, exactly? Does anyone know how they're made?

Or. How they can be removed?

[lehnsherr]

What is it made of?

[radars]

Alloys and polymer, and no, I will not let you rip it off my neck.

[lehnsherr]

Because you don't trust me. You made that clear from the beginning.

And apparently you'd rather remain cut off from your abilities than accept my help.

[radars]

If you're going to be that way, speak to me, don't put it in writing.

And I'm terribly sorry for fearing that removing it the wrong way could affect my abilities permanently.

[lehnsherr]

[Yep, ignoring that first part. Using the text function means he has better control over what he's saying.]

Restricting your abilities and removing them completely are entirely different. They can't devolve you.

[radars]

But they can cause permanent brain damage in key areas.

[lehnsherr]

Because leaving it in place isn't harmful enough already.

what the hell are your keywords

[radars]

Don't, Erik.

[ He knows. He knows, and he also knows that there's no possible way Erik could understand how much it's truly hurting him. ]

AMAZING, OKAY. also the result of keywording while watching Anchorman

[lehnsherr]

Regardless of your feelings toward me, I can still help. So either let me take it off or find somebody who can, and soon.

[radars]

[ Eventually:

Charles types instructions to the abandoned place where he and Raven are staying. ]

[lehnsherr]

[There's no response to that. Instead, off he goes to meet the group, a little later than planned. He has a certain doppelgänger to deal with first.]
