008 .. important distinctions
[now that he knows how to work it, the video flicks on and a VERY pissed-looking Facilier is sitting there glowering at the camera. he may be slightly tipsy from a bout of drinking on deck when the events of the seance were done.]
Normally I'd be ignoring y'all while you sort yourselves out, but I'd like to nip a few things in the bud.
This is Shadow. Say hello, Shadow.

It's part of me. It ain't somethin' I got saddled with by chance, or a ghost, or somethin' I see when I dip into the bourbon too much. It's a warning. Which brings me to point number two.
I am not a fake. I am not a two-bit charlatan playin' up my trade for a quick buck. I can PLAY that game, and I DO, but I'm more dangerous than any tent healer or sad little man with a card table, and if you don't believe me then I will find you some examples. And if I get even a hint of my power back, I will prove it to you, and you will be sorry you doubted me.
I've got...I've got things I'm willin' to do, half of you never even dreamed of.
Carry on.
[the video flips off hurriedly. after a moment, it returns on a filter to the members of the seance]
As for y'all - nothing happened last night. We waved our hands and we got nothin' and that was it.
[his face suggests you don't argue, and then he switches off for good]
[ooc: And so I don't do two posts in a row, because it really only affects him - the seance doesn't seem to be moving, though I'd love to play it out if we keep going. I've cleared with Hix-mun that since Facilier DOES know various ways to contact the Other Side, in his amnesiac state he actually did so, just in his own headspace. And he has some frenemies there. He basically just saw their faces and heard enough threatening words/sounds to know to be afraid and keep it a secret, excuse himself, and head out the door suspiciously quickly, Shadow trailing behind him looking super terrified. He spent the rest of the evening drinking on deck and not acknowledging that anything was wrong.]
