Day 173 | [network | video ] @spectreone; Lost & Found [open]

[dumed]

[ The tablet's camera isn't focused on Kanan. Instead, it's held at a considerable arm's length to show off what he's got in his other hand: Vanitas's pet, wiggling in a spirited attempt at escaping. Kanan's holding it by what would be the scruff on a normal animal. It doesn't seem to be in pain, but who can really tell? ]

Alright, fight thing. I don't know his network name, maybe one of you does - guy with a bad attitude, black helmet, and a skirt? Needs to come pick up his pet. Found it wandering around the museum area alone and it won't stop following me. It's taking up way too much of my food. If he doesn't say anything, it's free to a good home. Maybe it likes to cuddle.

[ He puts the Unversed back on the floor, gently for someone who seems to be so annoyed about it, and refocuses the camera on his face. His goatee is a wreck! ]

Second of all. Ran across some kind of shrine in the apartment building, looked like it was used for blood sacrifice at some point. Decided to give it a shot. [ He holds up one hand to the camera, where the prophet's symbol is marked permanently on his skin. ] Not sure what this does, but I'm guessing it's probably not good.

Third thing, left some supplies in the museum if anyone needs 'em. It's not much but it should tide you over.

-Guess that's it. @spectreone out.

[Their response is immediate.]

I'll take 'em!

[Flood friend totally deserves better than "Mickey Mouse"]

@spectreone, text

[dumed]

Uh, noted. You got a name?

[despiteeverything]

Mmhmm. It's Frisk.

They like cheese puffs.

["They" being the Flood of course.]

[hangfire]

[Guess who's getting a whack to the back of the head.]

Like hell you are.

@kingdomkey ; video

[seekthelight]

Frisk please don't take that thing. No one needs to have that thing around! I'm not sure why someone would have it here but it's not safe!

@zd; voice

[swatsflies]

Whoa. That shrine sounds pretty creepy.

[ Yeah. The shrine and not the weird ass critter that Kanan managed to pick up. ]

How does the tunnels look?

@spectreone, audio

[dumed]

Yeah, I don't think the prophet belonged to a friendly god, judging by this.

[ Which might just be the most obvious statement Kanan's made since he got here. ]

It looks like an apartment complex got hit with a bomb, basically. Lot of places that aren't safe to stay overnight, lot of spots you could get injured in.

@Spoiler ; video - for convenience's sake setting this before Kes dies

[spoileralert]

The one who was in the shed with us, not the elf with secretly gorgeous hair, right? Probably @betterhalf.

He's a dickwad so the... whatever it is, is probably better off with you anyway.

audio - o7

[dumed]

Good to put a name to a face. Or a helmet, I guess.

I'm not keeping it.

@majesty, audio

[empireofrats]

[A sure fire way to get all the kids' attention, K.] I think it's cute. I don't know who the person is with the black helmet, but there's lots of people here who are nasty.

Does it try to bite you? Have you talked to it? Do you know its name?

@spectreone, audio

[dumed]

'Cute.'

[ Kanan's dubious about that. The thing's not bad without its master, but cute's pushing it. ]

It doesn't bite or talk that I've seen. Tried to take a few swipes, but I think it's depressed or something without its master.

@standardissue; video

[deus_ex_phs]

[First and third points don't really apply to him, or have already been addressed by others. Second point, though...]

Where exactly did you run across that shrine? Got any kind of a map?

[dumed]

Yeah, here you go.

[ Kanan provides Kunsel with a small hand-drawn map leading to building 217. ]

It's about half a day's walk straight east from the museum.

@Mnemosyne; voice

[bookofnope]

By "give it a shot" I assume you mean bleeding on it?

[Sorry Kanan he's heard the b-word.]

@spectreone, audio

[dumed]

Seemed like the thing to do at the time.

[ Kanan might sound a hair defensive. Maybe. ]

@ofcorpse; text

[exequies]

Hope you aren't too attached to your soul.

[Because reading between the lines, he's pretty sure he knows what 'giving it a shot' means.]

@spectreone, text

[dumed]

[ He's not, as it happens, if only because he has a rather firm belief about where it goes when he dies. ]

What do you mean?

@hotstud_xxx; text

[rubikscomplex]

two black

[One red for Kesara. Interesting. What's the difference? Is there a difference? His mind runs through the possibilities, but there's too little information to draw any real conclusions.]

hange beat you to that shrine
they got a sick tattoo, too

did you draw eyes or erase them?

[dumed]

The kid didn't get hers from the alter, did she?

I drew 'em on.

@kingdomkey ; video

[seekthelight]

[Sora's frowning when he comes over the video, eyeing the thing that Kanan is holding warily.]

You need to get rid of that. Right now. It's not safe to be around.

[It looks like a Heartless and that's enough for him.]

@spectreone, video

[dumed]

It's fine.

[ That's not the important part, though. Kanan's staring the screen like he's seen a ghost. ]

-Do you - have a twin?

@Ecks | text

[ecks]

you should not make offerings to gods if you do not know what gods they are and do not mean it
gods are dangerous
sacrifice is dangerous

[Says the young lady who drew eyes all over herself that one time.]

[dumed]

I think it's too late for that.

[ Kanan had drawn the eyes too, after all. ]

audio; @dreamsnhonor

[heroproceeding]

[ For a moment, all Zack can really do... is stare. Not a flat stare. Not one of annoyance. Just... completely at a loss of words. He probably should be paying attention to the comment about the supplies in the museum- and maybe he'll mentally file that away. But for right in that immediate moment, it's a toss up between the two before he absorbs enough of the situation to finally spit out: ]

I think "not good"s an understatement. I'd ask what possessed you to do that, but it sounds like it wasn't anything like that.

[ In other words, Shiva's fucking tits, Kanan. What are you doin'. ]

[dumed]

Curiosity.

[ Get off his back, Zack! :| ]

From what I've heard, no one's making a lot of progress, but we have found things from interacting with the ghosts. Thinking laterally's the only thing we can do.
