three || video - action for Hel House

[The feed turns on to show the view from a first floor window in Hel's welcome house before it's quickly adjusted to Cassandra's face as the focus. Her expression is a mix of curiosity and slight concern as she addresses the network.]

This isn't... permanent, right? Or harmful? It seems like another weird prank. No point to it.

[There's a pause where furrows her brow a little before posing another question.]

How many aren't affected?

[And now she'll end the feed, leaning over to a coffee table to take a drink from her mug of tea. Maybe she'll come across a housemate or something, who knows.]

[A housemate, hmm? This housemate was just heading in when he saw the transmission and he's about to answer when he notices the poster sitting there.

Well, why not?]

Sorry, I was about to reply to your question [He holds up the bracelet as explanation.] when I saw you; figured it might be a little silly to not come over.

If you mean this thing where people aren't in their normal bodies then, no, I'm not affected. I can assume you are, though?

[She glances over, mid tea sip and nods a little in greeting, finishing up before setting the mug back on the table.]

I'm still myself, if that's what you assume.

Ah, sorry, I assumed you were also affected.

Do you think this is one of those...curses, or whatever, that the gods put on us?

It seems a little...well, silly. Although, I can see where it would cause some distress and panic, depending.

[His hands go for his pockets as he thinks about it. He really didn't get the point in these curses, maybe other people had some ideas.]

[Cass shrugs in response before speaking.]

It probably is, but I'm no expert. Panic is understandable. It's not what people are used to.

[That makes him chuckle.]

No, I would certainly expect not. Hopefully it won't last, it's a bit disconcerting for the rest of us, I think.

It's interesting to watch. [Especially for her.]

Have you been here long?

I'm not. But it looks like the majority of people are.

It's unnerving.

At this point, we may have to wait and see whether it fixes itself or not. [ which sucks, screw you gods seriously ]

I don't know why it wouldn't, but...

We won't be able to tell unless it does.

Inconvenient to say the least.

Right. [ and god that peeves him off everybody around him is FREAKING OUT ] The gods have abused their power before. They'll do it again.

This time is just closer to home.

Hm. [ in other words: yeah ] They're likely trying to see how much people will take.

How much we'll take before what?

Before people start start to do more against them.

Such as rebellion?

Yeah. But there's probably people planning it already.

You seem interested.

...If people just charge into this, they'll forget what the gods can do. They should be planning before they attack.

[ more like staring at everyone and yelling THAT IS NOT HOW STRATEGY WORKS in his head ]

Attack how? With our powers? The Gods gave us those, and they can take them away if they want.

Right. People aren't thinking things through.

[Her tone is curious now, and slightly amused, paired well with the expression on her face.]

You're very invested in this, aren't you?

We've all been trapped here. We need to be.

It doesn't look like it's harmful really. [So far, so long as no one tries to beat themselves up in weird ways.] More frustrating and confusing.

I'm still myself, luckily.
