NPC POST - VOICE

[asgardswisdom]

[ This message pings across the network several hours after the SOS post following James Potter's murder ( warning: blood/violence ) and Jade's confession for the crime.

It's only a few hours after Odin took Jade for some very humane euthanisation. It's been such a fun day. ]

It wasn't her.

There are more out there.

Find them. Bring them here. One way or another.

[ And that's it. Get to work, chums. ]

How can we tell them from everyone else? No one's in their right mind.

And what do you do with them?

[Video]

[asgardswisdom]

That's why I'm telling you to find them. You're on the ground, you're closer to them. Figure it out.

We fix them.

audio.

[mulletrock]

Mind bein' less cryptic? If you asshats want us to work for you the least you could do is tell us what we're goin' up against.

audio.

[asgardswisdom]

I didn't realise you would struggle with find them. I'll use smaller words.

Curse. Bad. You. Evil. Find. Fix. Now.

[pushesgently]

How are people being controlled?

[asgardswisdom]

We don't know how she's doing it, but she's gotten inside them. Very, very powerful dark magic.

[kuramaless]

[aaaand totally bypassing the point of this post, because he'll get there later.

He just hasn't taken time out to talk to you yet. :|]

You're one of those god guys?

[asgardswisdom]

One of those guys, yes.

[Video]

[unbrokenwheel]

[His worst nightmares have become real and he looks visibly sick. Leo hasn't been sleeping well in days and envisioning fire blazing high when he shuts his eyes.

Find them.

He can guess why.]

...I'll figure something out. [Killing people?] They'll come back, right?

[Video]

[asgardsstrength]

The Travelers they kill? Yes. [ Snarling softly. ] But the natives of this world that they slaughter are gone.

[Video]

[dragonspeak]

Is there any way to snap them out of...whatever spell they've fallen into?

[Video]

[asgardswisdom]

You might be able to bring them back into cognisance, but you won't be able to break the spell on your own. You might also lose a limb.

[morethanadream]

how do we find them

were all going mad

how do we know whos more mad than everyone else

how do we even know it isnt us if we cant remember things

[asgardswisdom]

If we had a way of figuring it out ourselves, do you think I'd ask you to do it for me?

[ He doesn't straight out say 'you idiots' but he might as well have. This headache is not worth it. ]

[wasthemaster]

Before I do that? Tell me when you're giving her back first.

[asgardswisdom]

When she's ready.

[notthedoctor]

That's not exactly helpful, you know.

[Quite frankly, he isn't sure he wants to run around touching people to see what's in their brains because who knew what would happen. What if this black magic thing was catching?]

If there's no outward sign, how do we know?

[asgardsstrength]

The most obvious outward signs include 'stabbing people and setting things on fire with no following memory of that.' Everyone is affected - not everyone is walking around murdering natives and hanging their bodies in trees.

[sharingone]

Karui's one of them.

[Okay she probably isn't but. She won't shut up about wanting to kill him so.

Same thing??]

[kuramaless]

Oi!

[livedtwice]

What do you mean it wasn't her? She's in the video!

[asgardswisdom]

As in, it wasn't her. It was someone else, and they were both controlled by Thiazi.

[Audio]

[albuquerque]

And what are you going to do to protect... everybody else?

[Severus wants to say "Lily" because that's all Severus can think about. He frankly doesn't care about anybody else right now.]

[Audio]

[asgardswisdom]

There's nothing we can do. You're all infected. You need to work together to keep each other safe.

video.

[conquering]

will ending their lives not break whatever hold she has on them?

[ look she has to ask ok ]

video.

[asgardswisdom]

Yes.

[stakes]

We call that possession, where I'm from. If killing them will fix them, I just need a crossbow.

[asgardswisdom]

Find one.

[ No, really, this is the best solution do it go. ]

[mccallmemaybe]

How do you know it wasn't Jade? [ Because Scott thinks he knows someone who could have killed. ] Is there a way you can tell?

[asgardswisdom]

I looked inside of her.

[ It wasn't pleasant. ]

[raffinato]

We can attempt to round them up somehow. I do not suppose you have something at hand to bind them once they are found.

[She's assuming, of course, since he'd probably use it if so.]

Does she have control of their powers as well?

[asgardswisdom]

You would suppose correctly.

[ See? Useful! ]

For now, yes. Her black magic is blotting out bits and pieces of their sense of self. If it gets worse, she might not be able to use them. We can't know for sure.

voice;

[disarmer]

Is there anything that would make them more suspicious than the others in this city?

voice;

[asgardswisdom]

Nothing overt on its own. When the spell takes hold, you all go dark. They just go darker.

[audio]

[familyissues]

How is this happening? How is she controlling people?

[audio]

[asgardswisdom]

We don't know the source of the spell but she's poisoning the with black magic.

not here

[thoughtless]

[ but nope ]

super not here

[asgardswisdom]

[ Useless. ]

[necrowmantic]

Can't we just kill everyone?

Y'know. To be safe.

[asgardswisdom]

It's been suggested.

[ By him. Repeatedly. ]

But we're trying a more liberal approach at the moment.

[allbloodyhail]

...Why am I here again?

[ that might be some faint laughter. he sure did step out of the frying pan and into psychocrazygodland. again. ]

[asgardswisdom]

For the fun and games.

[sicarius]

[Guess who read through things before thinking of a question to ask? This guy.]

More of this will occur until they are all found. [A beat. It's not a question, more or less just him trying to solidify the entire situation in his mind.] And you will be able to tell if they are affected even worse than we are, if we bring them to you?

[asgardswisdom]

[ Bless you. Seriously. All the points to AssCreeds this plot. ]

Yes.

video, private to Odin.

[redhourglass]

[ they're killing natives and travelers. natasha has been watching, and she can't .. she can't help but think. ]

You have to remove me from this.

video, private to Odin.

[asgardswisdom]

[ Just let him quirk a brow. ]

How removed?

Audio

[samantha_grey]

[She looks up at the screen and when she speaks, it's pointed and a little haggard.]

She held me there for a day, and you know my record Odin. I'll ask you once, and only once. Do you want me to come in, or try to find them and get caught if she's corrupted me further?

I have no way of telling how far gone I am.

Audio

[asgardswisdom]

We cleanse you once and she can't worm her way inside you again. You have to die for it, though. That's your choice.

video;

[neverymind]

But-- but what if they attack us? They killed someone. [Very astute, Nevy.] Surely it's not gonna be easy to just capture them.

Oh, this is so scary...

video;

[asgardswisdom]

[ ... Uh. ]

Maybe you should stay inside.
