020 - Video

[samantha_grey]

[Where others were likely wanting to show footage of the serious problem just developing in the center of the city, this footage is different. Instead of the ice, or the palace, the footage is showing the moon. It's a crescent moon, bright and beautiful between the clouds, but if anyone's been paying attention, it's been waning lately.

Samantha turns the feed back around so it's facing her and hefts her sickle in one hand with heavy gloves covering her hands. The look on her face, though, is nervous, bordering on fearful.]

Merlin... Fin-rot, Gio's gone, and I think we've got a serious problem if this is as bad as I think it's going to be. The last time we had something this bad happen, there was over a week of fighting. The moon's going to go new before then... and it's been a few months.

I need somewhere to meet up with whoever's putting me under, in case there's problems. The last thing we need is her getting loose if there's a real fight on our hands.

What do you mean by putting you under?

[samantha_grey]

I mean gagging me and chaining me to a chair when the new moon comes so I don't go insane and hurt someone again. I know I've seen your face around. I guess you must have gotten lucky to miss this.

[digophelia]

Why... why on earth would you chose for that to happen? Isn't there an alternative to being chained and gagged?

TW: Gore warning in Link

[samantha_grey]

...

[She went looking for a minute and sent a Link to the last incident]

You tell me. This is how bad it got with me using magical tea to keep it under control. We're down to about every three months now...

[Eridan just sighs. This is the last thing he needs. The weather is disgusting--especially for those in Asgard who are cold-blooded.]

So I'm goin' to havve to grubsit your ass again?

Re: [Video]

[samantha_grey]

Hopefully it's not going to be too damned annoying with this fighting. But I needed to get ahold of you guys before something went wrong. We've got about a week.

[fishdouche]

[Eridan nods, hiding his concern behind a mask of bravado.]

A wweek's more than enough time to find a backup place to store your psychotic ass.

[Unless there's a blizzard and the whole place goes to hell... but there's no way hat'd ever happen...]

God I hope so.

[Video]

[fishdouche]

[Of course it won't. ... That's really just their luck.]

You don't fuckin' need to hope. Especially to some non-existent human god.

Eh, it's just a word you shout, but the dick exists in my world. Trust me, and el Self Righteous Ruler of All He Sees is pretty much the biggest dingus on the block, second only to my dad.

Honestly? I'm not on the demons' side, but I 'get' why Lucifer had a pissing match with him.

[Samantha, queen of the ideologically sensitive.]

[necrowmantic]

Hey hey, who's getting loose now?

[Going to stalk all that information.]

[samantha_grey]

...

[Yeah, the look in her eyes says that he's the last person she wanted to talking about.]

The crazy bitch living in my head space. I'm doing a civic service.

[necrowmantic]

[He'll cheerfully press on regardless.]

What's she doing in there, instead of out where she can meet folk? I bet she's lonely!

[samantha_grey]

Henry, don't fucking start. The last time she was loose, I yanked one of my best friend's hearts out of her chest on the network. I don't want that part of me to meet people.

[necrowmantic]

[And thaaat's a sudden spike of interest.]

Are you kidding?! Holy Grima, that sounds like the coolest death ever! How come you don't do that more often?

[dragonspeak]

[He was going to make this private, but there's probably no point, since she already mentioned his name.]

We'll do what we can to watch her, even if there's something going on. [Merlin looks her over quickly.] Are you all right?

[Video] w/ Private Note

[samantha_grey]

[Nope, and she's already regretting it being public because of Henry, but it's too late for that.]

If I know my dates, we've got just at a week. Keep that in mind, and hopefully the attack isn't going to leave this place too frozen for too long. We might need to use an in-town location though.

[She grunted and sighed, running her hands through her hair.]

I'll be honest, I'm a little freaked out. She was more insane than usual last time. She knows we're keeping that side of me locked up, and we're getting better. I'm not sure what she'll do if she gets loose this time, especially if she knows she's only got a short time to get away.

[dragonspeak]

I'll be helping the healers staying close to the ice, but I should be able to get away to help you.

[His expression edges into "wary" suddenly.]

What do you mean, more insane? Was there something different about her?

[Video] | Private

[samantha_grey]

You did see what I did to Eve, didn't you? She... stopped her from doing something to her by killing herself. [Don't make her say it. It's written all over her face.] She went completely nuts, tore her heart clean out of her chest using something we knew about her, along with a bunch of internal organs.

I think she knows she's losing, and she wants to hurt someone, badly, before we make it so she can't get loose ever again. I think she wants to scar someone for life.

... If this cold gets too close to Pinch, I'm giving you the footlocker. Put it somewhere nobody can get to it, period.

[dragonspeak]

We'll have to keep a closer eye on everything, then. She can't use the same trick as last time, and I can bring something...maybe a sleeping gas. In case she does try to get out.

[Merlin nods grimly.]

Your item I can take care of. I'll be leaving soon, but I'm still in my apartment right now. Bring it to me and I can hide it while I'm outside.

[key_illusion]

Tick-tock. I need specifics.

[Hello, it's your friendly neighborhood watchdog............................]

[Private Anon Text]

[samantha_grey]

I suspect I know who you are, but after Henry being weird, I need to test something.

Where am I, exactly?

[She was, at the moment, on the path between Sigyn and Loki district, near the hospital.]

[Private Anon Text]

[key_illusion]

Close to the hospital. [He would type 'Do I pass?', but he's opting to keep his texts short & sweet.]

[samantha_grey]

Close enough.

We've got a week, oh watcher. It's just out of the half-phase and a full crescent. I give it seven days.

[Day 310, to be precise, he can gauge from the calendars.]

[key_illusion]

We'll see how things clear up in seven days then.

Besides Merlin, who else is watching you?
