[Kids]

Looks like we've got a bunch of places for you kids to head right now: make sure you're getting yourself or asking an adult to help you find one of them.

[Added later] A nice lady named Paige Matthews has offered to help you guys get there, if anyone needs help.   Just filter to her on the journal.

The Tower - On the fourteenth floor

Before we do anything, blood donations, exorcism, whatever it is we do... We need to make sure we're getting those kids back. That should be priority number one: making sure that innocent lives aren't lost.

[loisfuckinglane]

I agree, completely, but eventually we're gonna want to get rid of this thing and make sure it's not coming back, once they're safe.

[isthenight]

Then we're all on the same page. Good.

The problem would be figuring out which ritual to go with. I spent all night researching Christian rituals of exorcism, but the more I look, the more I find other culture's versions too.

placeholderish thing since it's 2.30 over here ;;

[silently stares at that tl;dr, almost as if to say "you must be kidding," but it's...the product of effort...and there isn't much in terms of countermeasures which have been uncovered at this point.

A sigh, then she makes her way down to the library, thinking this would surely be far easier if the culprit was anything like the kind she's "exorcised" in the past]

[Lois looks up when she enters, from amid her pile of paperwork.] Coming to help?

o>

[saikyou_saiaku]

Ah...you're the one looking into exorcism, I assume? [she'll move in closer, then]

[loisfuckinglane]

That'd be me. Though I'm not sure how much luck I'm having, exactly.

assuming he's adult enough for filter...

[pullsheavendown]

I've never done an exorcism, but...I've fought ghosts and stuff before. Heartless-ghosts, anyway. So has Sora, I think. I don't know if that would help, though.

Considering we'd have no idea what this place would stir up if we tried this, seeing as how Paradisa seems populated with ghosts, it couldn't hurt to have you around.

If we try this, I mean.

[pullsheavendown]

They're different ghosts, though.

If whatever's doing this is something we can fight, I'll be there. I'm not good at research or anything like that. But I want to help.

[loisfuckinglane]

I hope it doesn't come to some kind of supernatural brawl, but I'll keep that in mind.

[guidance]

It's a thought.

[loisfuckinglane]

Better than nothing, for now.

[Ugh, exorcisms] How about learning about exorcisms from an actual demon? We're not the same thing, but, I dunno. It might be worth something.

It has to be the demon's true name, if you're going down that route. And trust me, we guard those things more than anything in the universe. Lot of power, in a name. I doubt it's going to be recorded anywhere unless this thing is a complete idiot.

Most of that stuff about reading from the bible is bollocks, too. I can read any of it out to you right now without any ill effects. Holy water works wonders, but none of you can actually see it to use it. You could sprinkle it on that tree, I guess. See if it does anything.

Just let me know if you lot decide to do anything around that route. I'll make myself scarce. I don't really fancy being banished to whatever this place calls Hell.

Crowley

[loisfuckinglane]

Should've thought of that. But I'm running on not much sleep right now.

So unless we figure out its true name, it doesn't matter how many prayers and Lord's names we shout at the tree, it's not gonna do anything?

Don't worry. You'd get fair warning.

Lois

[onlyanapple]

Probably not. There's a good chance this thing isn't going to be following the Judeo-Christian set of rules. I mean, it's all well and good if you're a Biblical demon, but if you're not? Holy words and items will do diddly squat. As with everything in this bloody castle, we're left with more questions than answers.

Thanks, I appreciate it.

Crowley

[loisfuckinglane]

That's why I've been looking at other cultures' rituals now too, but the problem is, we need to find out what culture he came from in the first place to know what's going to apply.
