[:beeguns: still waiting for you to explode somehow]
Agreed. [Even if the news is unpleasant or painful.] I'll share what I find so we can keep the information circulating a bit. They'll have to be even more cautious now.
Do you think that's the case? With the possession...
[If it really is down to mental health, so many of the people here are going to drop like flies, my god. It will truly just be Laudna and Gojo standing at the end of a bloodbath.]
[ YOU NEED IT FOR YOUR GOOD TEACHER REPUTATION... ]
I don't know, but I just feel like that would make sense. Even in a normal situation, heightened emotions could cause people to snap and attack someone, even if it's just a punch thrown.
In this one? It could very well be lethal. Not really something I'd want to risk.
[LETHAL BAD MENTAL HEALTH DAY... He looks a little grim at the idea of it.]
Yes... I'd rather not see anyone risk it, either, though I suppose it's a bit of an ask in a place like this.
[They have doctors but they don't have any therapists. Tragic!!]
It might do well to ask one of them about that, too. About what may make a person more or less susceptible, if anything at all. Even if the monster the ritual centers around is random, there must be something that determines who between the two aligned with it loses control.
Ah... [Just thinking back to the conversation he had with Boothill on Friday and how Boothill had indeed been very focused on survival. Hm.]
Alright. Thank you, I'll be certain to keep an eye out. Given how well that monster was able to hide itself within Boothill, even the smallest of signs would be better than nothing.
[ You joke but he's one of the few characters that will actively intervene if you kill someone in front of him and he is NOT a strength-based character, so you can use your imagination,
Except I guess I'm about to make a suggestion so. ]
Sure there are. Knowing the right place to hit... and other methods can be violent but wouldn't cause a concussion necessarily. Not that I'm going to openly suggest those.
...The refectory basement?
[ He doesn't care if it gets locked in because there isn't any drinks worth saving there and also there's an entire barrel in both the cabin and the barn. Very funny. ]
That may be good knowledge to pass on as well, then. As long as they aren't overly-violent... [Surely a non-violent method of trying to subdue a monster-possessed person will go very well for everyone involved.
But he nods!]
That may work. It's relatively secured and only has one entrance and exit, correct?
You have pressure points all over your body, unless I'm about to learn different worlds also means radically different anatomies. Press on the right one the right way and you can do anything from healing headaches to paralysing someone temporarily.
[ Hooray? ]
...That's right, unless someone is about to move all the barrels around and conveniently discover a trapdoor.
[Thinking about how Karlach doesn't have a damn heart.]
That may be the case... for some, at least. [He thinks he is a pretty normal human so it should probably be fine????] That's fascinating, though. The body is truly a marvel.
[He also makes a bit of a face at the mention of a surprise trapdoor under the barrels NOT THIS.]
...We should check before we make it into a holding cell.
[ All things considered, waiting a week before the first MAJOR injury is. Okay. It's more about what comes after today because he expects it to be more regular around now. Thank god there's others. ]
... [ Agreed on not jinxing it. ] It's better than nothing, grim as it is. Productive, Mr. Proust.
[ Surname calling is on purpose, Mr. Teacher Man. ]

The grimace only lasts briefly, fading away into something that looks somewhat irritated, bothered... ]
I'll keep trying and see what I can glean from our overseers. Bitter news or not, better have them than without...
no subject

no subject
Yeah. Famine seemed pretty frank about it, but the others had "traitor" written on them.
It's got to be weighing on them at least a little.
no subject
Given the supposed reason for the unsolved death on our hands, I would say so. I should hope everyone is being appropriately cautious.
no subject
...But too much caution, and it'll come off as paranoia, won't it...
Won't do much for the mental health then. That'll only make it even easier for the possession to take us.
Problems... problems.
no subject
Do you think that's the case? With the possession...
[If it really is down to mental health, so many of the people here are going to drop like flies, my god. It will truly just be Laudna and Gojo standing at the end of a bloodbath.]

I'm told that the affliction will tend to make people more... aggressive, focused on survival, experience heightened emotions as a whole.
If anyone seems to be acting out in particular like that, well.
[ Talk to them or tell someone, basically. ]
no subject
Ah... [Just thinking back to the conversation he had with Boothill on Friday and how Boothill had indeed been very focused on survival. Hm.]

Eh... knocking them out would be a bit of a hassle and could cause a concussion... don't have a holding cell though. Don't even have any rope.
no subject
[Karate chop the side of the neck like you're in an anime, Daan.]
Otherwise, barricading someone into a smaller building may be our best option.

...If we do, but. Yeah, sure.
[ GUESS THEY JUST MIGHT BE DOING THIS... ]
no subject
[They might be doing this........]
no subject
Can't ask Karlach to figure out blockades though. She's hurt today and she will agree to help if you ask.
Suppose if we get a general consensus and everyone agrees, we can figure something out?
no subject
[She got so beat up to fuck out there!!!! Bro!!!! Both physically and emotionally... He will not ask anything of her for a little bit. But!]
We may as well discuss it later, at least. Though we may already be dealing with another afflicted person by then...
[It's fine surely they wouldn't sabotage the jail plans.]
no subject
[ Karlach you need those fingers. 'For what?' Things. ]
Yeah, but... it's not like you can just dig out a secret tunnel by yourself either. The only shovel we had around here is broken.
[ So, sucks if you're afflicted just listening to people talk about trapping you in the creepy wine cellar. ]
no subject
[THEIR TWO MONTHS!!!! God. It's fine, Karlach does need her fingers to tote around wine barrels. Also that's very true. RIP to the afflicted.]
Mm, and if it's just one person against the rest, then... Well. Actually, I'll leave that piece unsaid.
[HE DOESN'T WANT TO JINX IT.]
no subject
It's later than I expected...?
[ All things considered, waiting a week before the first MAJOR injury is. Okay. It's more about what comes after today because he expects it to be more regular around now. Thank god there's others. ]

[ Surname calling is on purpose, Mr. Teacher Man. ]
no subject
[Given both their situation on a whole and also the specific... people here........ Karma. But! It's fine!! They'll all do their best it's fine!!!!!
The surname just gets a little wry smile.]
Productivity is something I prefer over idleness. It comes with the profession.

I'll be relying on you to give me perspective when we're feeling stagnated for ideas, then.
