[When Henry appears on the feed, he's somewhat bloodied up. There's claw marks on his face, bloody punctures at his throat and along one arm, as if he'd been attacked by some large predator. He doesn't look to be in any serious danger, though, and he grins up at the video with his usual sort of good nature.]

Hey guys! So who else has been having an extra murderous fantasy or five? You know, really-kind-of-awesome intrusive thoughts, when you're talking to someone, and suddenly want to rip their head off? Or peel back the skin of their face 'cause it looks soft, or slit their ankles open or--

Well, you get my meaning! And sure, most of that's normal enough to think, but not this much! And since no one else's gonna come out and ask, I will--

Isn't it great?

[The laughter there's enthusiastic too, maybe too much. It's hard to tell over the feed, but he looks a bit underslept.]

I guess I mean- how weird is this, huh? From the people I've talked to, it's not just me being a bit more bloody-minded either! Soooooo I was wondering how widespread this really was! And if it's gone beyond crazy thoughts.

Like, I think I broke into someone's house and smashed their stuff, so if that was yours- uh, sorry about that.

Maybe someone put something in the water again. Other than that, I'm totally out of theories!

[Henry seems about to shut it off there, but there's a scratching noise behind him, and he sighs.]

One last thing- anyone else having a liiiittle bit of trouble with their powers today?

[He twists the camera around, to show a large, three-legged shadow-wolf lurking, scraping its way along the ground towards him. Its remaining limbs are twisted up, and just watching it walk is uncomfortable. Limp, crow-like wings sprout from behind its shoulderblades, and drag uselessly at the dirt. There's blood spattered around, along its muzzle; whatever this thing was, it wasn't friendly.]

...I made that, but I wasn't trying to. And it's not listening to me either- kind of weird, huh?

[He really doesn't trust himself not to look and sound totally horrified, so... text it is.]

oh my god, what even IS that

are you okay?

no, scratch that, that does not look remotely okay, tell me you're not bringing it home

[His hands are still in good working order, and with three legs the creature's easy enough for him to dodge now.]

Who knows! Okay, I know it's made out of my shadow, but it's nooot listening to me and I can't kill it. I tried to make a sword and everything, but it just gave it wings!

Sorry to burst your sadistic streak but that's nothin' to be proud of. As for the whacked out wolf. I'm not even gonna comment.

[Sure, Dean's feeling the same way and it's too much like his time in the pit. He'll never admit to it. No use making himself seem crazier than he already is.]

I'm not proud of it exactly, it's just normal! But I've been getting the impression that it's suddenly become normal for everyone else too, which is kind of weird. What about you, any murderous mind lurking~?

Sorry but that's not normal. Whoever told you that was lying through their teeth.

It's normal for me. It's really the only kind of normal I'm familiar with!

Guess it's different for other people, huh? Bet they're having a hard time now, nya ha!

What're you some kinda sociopath?

Dunno about that. I'm just a happy guy who also loves carnage.

But if folk are having crazy feelings like mine, they should come talk to me about it! It's not like I'm gonna judge, right? I can help!

Uh-huh.

[He's pretty sure this guy is off his rocker. He hasn't kept that a secret but he'll shut up about that opinion. No use beating a dead horse.]

And how do you plan on helpin' these people?

Well... bottling up all those feelings isn't going to fix anything. And I know some people aren't the type to go around killing just to take the edge off, so they should talk about it instead.

Hey, listen to me. You better not suggest to any of these people that droppin' bodies is a good idea.

As long as it's just talking and no action you and me won't have any problems.

And if I do suggest it?

It is the quickest way to let off some steam!

Then your face and my fist are gonna get real acquainted.

Sounds like fun!

Though you'd have to reach it first. I'm kinda a little more on edge myself~

Yuck it up, Chuckles. I could just shoot you.

Sure could! Can ya do it so I'd die really horribly and gruesomely?

You're sick. Y'know that?

[No, but really, he'd probably just blow out both his kneecaps and leave him there for somebody to find.]

[And he'd probably enjoy it.]

It's been mentioned to me before. But don't think you're the only one who can attack from a distance!

[This kid is way too close Alastair for comfort. He's just going to disconnect and monitor the rest of the entry from a distance that isn't vocal to make sure no one actually follows that kind of advice.]

[The Doctor has indeed been experiencing disturbing thoughts of just the sort Henry is describing, but he doesn't like thinking about them, much less talking about them. So he'll concentrate on the wolf.]

...then what were you trying to make? I assume you were trying to make something else and that ended up happening instead.

[If it wasn't clearly dangerous, he'd feel sorry for this poor, twisted creation.]

...so the whole thing is just on the fritz, do you have any idea how worrying that

Okay. Okay, have you tried just using a regular one? If you have one, anyway. Could bring you mine and see if plain weapons work to get rid of that.

still going to have to do it yourself though. I'm not very good with the thing yet.

I was trying to take out my crows- I have a few that I make a lot, right? And instead this came out...

[Henry's carefully keeping out of chomping distance, but the deformed wolf is still following him.]

I tried making friends, but it didn't seem very interested!

I can prooobably find something physical to bash it in with. Or I could keep using shadows to see what else pops out... something's gotta be sharp and not attack me, right? Still not feeling murderous enough to try it out yourself~?

Please don't just keep making it worse, who knows what you're going to end up with? Really rather not find out.

It's more that I'm not sure I could kill it skill-wise, either. I really haven't been working on that long and it's mostly not offensive.

[Guess who didn't listen. The next reply comes after some delay, for all that it's brief.]
