[video] un: a civil serpent. private network.
( Wrath has learned a lot of shit recently after months of trying to understand and exploring many different avenues, the most important being Wen Qing's inspections of Vannozza and his own investigations. He knows he has to inform the rest of the group before he makes his next move. That is the difference between living on this mortal plane instead of within Hell itself where he has far more power. There is a group to take into consideration.
At first, the video opens with nothing but a visual of the locked, hidden room. The video lingers on the altar beds, the potions and goblets of opiates, and then the piles of servant clothing and bird feathers in the corner. )
I'm in a secret, locked room within Bonaccorso's library. The Attaryl have been lengthening the lives of the Doxe for some time. Now they work on transferring a spirit from one body to the next without killing the original body and destroying one spirit in the process, which is the current result of their experimentation.
( He is quiet, serious, jaw locked though the camera is not on him. This is an affront to Death itself - his other name. )
Their efforts have come with a clear cost. ( He keeps the video pointed toward the pile of clothing and bird feathers, and it does not change course for the remainder of the video- let them see the cost. ) Many have died in this room.
I believe they mean to transfer Bonaccorso's spirit into Vannozza's body. Her spirit feels as if it is peeling from her body. The question is what to do with this truth.
( Ultimately, Wrath is ancient and powerful, and he will go with what he feels is best because mortals are fallible, but he wants to know what the group thinks. )

Noble as all this concern is for Vannozza, what of those who've already been sacrificed at the altar of this vile practice? Those deemed expendable who've had no one to seek answers for them, much less accountability?
Bonaccorso lives not just on borrowed time but stolen breath. What has he done beyond refuse to activate the beacon and become even more of a parasite to his own people?
Are you Wicked or are you not?

One way or another, he will die, and if assassination is what it comes to then it does and I will draw the blade across his throat myself. He has lived well beyond his years on the deaths of people he should have been protecting.
no subject
If it's the truth you seek, then you needn't look further to reveal it.
( she can get that for them. he knows that she can and she would if pushed to it. )
Except you'd rather wait first to see if Vannozza will do the right thing for us.
no subject
I do not necessarily have faith that is the action she will take, and if she does not, we can take matters into our own hands.
no subject
Will the truth change anything?
( bonaccorso has the support of the vast majority of the people, and the attaryl at his command, besides. )
no subject
The truth will change a great deal if it can change the tide of those who support him and turn them into those who see the truth about him and the blood upon his hands.
He will die for this regardless, Emilia.
( wrath thinks of the long term. he can do that being as old as he is, but he understands the immediate urge to kill him and be done with it. he wants it too, simply knowing this mortal has felt it is within his right to manipulate life and death in this way. )

If telling Vannozza does not result in this then we should kill him ourselves.
