*boybel has no problem with letting kaiserin leave - he'd be happy if all of you bozos got the hell out, really (because of COURSE he saw the knife >:FFF)

chickpea just glances over her shoulder at thistle*

Actually, I'm more interested in what all of you were doing.

*she sounds friendly enough, mildly chastising at best. but. she does still have that 7 foot dragonhusband at the ready. :')*

[anangryinch]

I was defending what was mine.

[...right, she should probably make that convincing. She moves over to Nerf, who certainly looks traumatized enough.]

Or have you failed to notice the cult going about brainwashing people?

[She eyes the dragonhusband, regarding him with narrowed eyes.]

And how, pray tell, is it that you have a kaa in this day and age?

[neospaceheroine]

Hmm. Maybe you should fill us in?

[neospaceheroine]

But... what's a kaa?

[anangryinch]

Tch.

I've only secondhand information.

Some fool named Saiou is possessing people. He has two or three converts already that I can tell, including the one you just let escape.

And that boy, [jabs a finger in Tempest's direction] terrifies every incarnation of him.

Perhaps for good reason.

[SHE'S IMPRESSED]

...

Your monster.

[indicates Yubel]

I did not realize they could still be summoned.

[neospaceheroine]

*slightly awkward laugh*

I'm not sure he's whatever that is... Yubel is Yubel.

*boybel straightens slightly, like he wasn't towering enough already >8[*

I am her protector.

...It's a long story.

Anyway, you said the Society of Light is here?

[anangryinch]

[She raises an eyebrow at the talking kaa, but she POINTEDLY ignores it to show she's not threatened by ur dumb monsters. mine was cooler anyway, too bad i killed him :( ]

Yes, I suppose that's what he called them.

Except there's more than one, apparently.

Or at least more than one 'Saiou'.

[Nerf finally comes out of his funk and frowns, and starts to open his mouth in apology before Thistle elbows him quiet.]

[neospaceheroine]

*boybel cares a lot about ur opinion (not)*

Mm. We'll need to deal with that, but first...

Why was Manjoume bleeding Darkness everywhere?

[anangryinch]

You'd know better than I.

He's had that reaction every time he comes into contact with one of Saiou's minions.

Admittedly, not a power I've seen before myself.

[tempest is just gonna chill in chickpea's boobs for a while |{ ]

[neospaceheroine]

...If you knew it was going to happen, why didn't you keep him away from her?

*don't mess with my posse :iiii*

[anangryinch]

If you'll notice, she came into our room in pursuit of my landlord.

[that's my story and i'm sticking to it

i wasn't lying in wait with him and letting nerf go check on red to use him as bait or anything]

[neospaceheroine]

*thistle :|*

I really don't think it's a good idea to dabble with this. You can't control Darkness.

Or aim it.

[anangryinch]

[hmf]

And what else do you propose we eliminate this Saiou with?

According to him, they flee in fear upon encountering him.

[okay, maybe a slight elaboration]

[neospaceheroine]

Well, you could have asked us, for one.

Unless you would rather let everyone here be devoured by Darkness instead of the Light. I don't think I'd like that, myself.

[anangryinch]

And I am to assume you can do anything about all this?

The boy's power seems containable enough.

[we're all still ALIVE, that counts]

Though I am not sure why he stopped.

[chickpea and boybel can just assume it's because they're Just That Cool]

[neospaceheroine]

*of course it is B)*

You're lucky he stopped, or you'd both be devoured by the despair by now.

And yes. We knows a thing or two about combating the Light. It's kind of what we do, actually!

*she's relaxing and sounding more cheerful now that poor tempest seems to be out of trouble, for now :'>*

[perfect_thunder]

[ur boobs are comfy :(

He stirs a little, rubbing his face absently.]

W-what happened?

[you're very helpful tempest]

[anangryinch]

You keep saying 'darkness' like that.

What is it, exactly?

[she doesn't seem to care much about either tempest or destroying the known multiverse]

[neospaceheroine]

Darkness is despair. It's humanity's desire for non-existence.

If it devours you, you will cease to exist-- no, you'll never have existed at all. No one will remember you were ever alive. And you yourself will be trapped in the worst despair you can imagine.

And it's very hungry.

*oh... looks down at tempest*

Looks like you've had a rough day, huh?

[perfect_thunder]

Umm...

[....wait a second.............

He distantly realizes he's in chickpea's BOSOM and blushes but he's a bit too out of it to yank away like he usually would 8( ]

Ugh... the last thing I remember is someone banging at the door.

[anangryinch]

Interesting.

Why do you suppose this boy has command of it, then?

[yeah he REALLY looks like he had mastery over whatever the heck just happened]

[neospaceheroine]

...You call that "command"? It was going to take all of you.

*pets tempest's buzzsaw absently :[ ignore the dragon boyfriend bristling and sulking at the other end of the room*

[anangryinch]

Hmmm.

[MENTAL NOTE - be far away from small nerd when throwing him @ lighted jerks]

Regardless, he only becomes possessed in the presence of this Light nonsense. Other times even he seems oblivious to it. A mere amateur wielder of that kind of power could not turn it on and off so simply.

But... if you are confident you can deal with this cult problem then I suppose he won't be necessary.

I suspect you and most of the rest of you lot would disapprove of my backup plan that does not involve occult intervention.

[neospaceheroine]

*SHRUG*

I don't have the slightest idea.
