[Another swarm of flies. The carcasses of dead beasts in the distance indicate that this is merely feet from where Sophia made her last broadcast. Those that had been strung up sway gently in the misty light, a grisly backdrop to the centerpiece below.]

There's been another. It's fresh.

[A woman alone, this time. Mouth open, brown hair spilling ( Read more... )

Not a favorable trend.

[voice] halcyonthird March 5 2011, 01:33:29 UTC

No. It needs to cease.

[voice] twoswordjuniper March 5 2011, 03:05:10 UTC

Agreed.

[There's a long silence, because she knows who it is, now. And she doesn't want to say.]

...

[And in fact, she can't think of anything to say. So she takes a sharp breath and then clicks off the reply function, leaving a spat of silence attributed to her and nothing else.]

Priscilla?

yetsleeping March 5 2011, 03:14:55 UTC

It's nothing.

[her voice is... stiff. Restrained.]

halcyonthird March 7 2011, 03:30:59 UTC

Should it ...turn out to be something...

[sigh]

[Yeah, she doesn't even know what she's doing. So have some silence and a disconnect.]

xnoble_reasonx March 5 2011, 03:01:46 UTC

How fresh?

[There is only so much one can tell from a video.]

halcyonthird March 5 2011, 04:22:01 UTC

[If she had to guess?]

A matter of a few minutes.

[An airy, almost tired chuckle. Dead people are his matter, and, so, he's been quite busy 'investigating'.]

Ah, what an aggressive creature to do such a... thing. Although, perhaps I should say... creatures?

[voice] halcyonthird March 7 2011, 03:32:52 UTC

Possibly. It looks similar to the others that have been found. Not an animal. No teeth or claws that I have seen would do this.

[voice] justasimple March 7 2011, 04:02:15 UTC

I wonder...

What about that which should not exist?

[voice] halcyonthird March 8 2011, 19:25:33 UTC

[In a perfect world none of it should or would exist. But many worlds, Anatole especially, are far from perfect. Also, it would make her kind a little irrelevant. She's not sure if she cares at the moment. (Grey area of whirling confusion lately) But:]

Which? The one that did this, or what came after?

[She looks like she's about to be sick.] Oh my god.

[video--->voice] halcyonthird March 7 2011, 03:36:00 UTC

[She forgets that some people aren't as used to these things. A pause and she switches to voice.]

We will keep you safe. Nevertheless, remain on your guard.

[voice] notacucumber March 7 2011, 03:56:22 UTC

Remain on my guard from what? Everything is going to hell here! No where seems safe.

[voice] halcyonthird March 8 2011, 19:21:28 UTC

At the moment we don't know.

Some places are safer than others. I would avoid contact with those you do not know well - and if there are people here that you do trust - remain in their company.

[Afterthought!]

If there is no one, I offer my room in the Headquarters.
