[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. )

[ That's a good point. Unfortunately he doesn't foresee that being far behind. ]

Now that it's out, I'd say it's a matter of time before the news reaches her. With how volatile things are already, the Attaryl could feel threatened and decide not to play by their rules anymore.

It's a risk to all of us no matter how we react. If she somehow agreed to this, they might choose to execute anyone who knows the truth of what happened.

[ He wouldn't call it a matter of competency, so much as not being willing to stand by while someone's body is stolen from them. That tends to elicit emotions. ]

Are you planning on being the one who tells her?

[ It's the right thing to do, but... he's worried, man. ]

Will you let us know when you do?

Thanks. These things can boil over pretty quick. [ Honestly, he'll be more surprised if she just rolls over and accepts news like that. ]

You're probably hearing it a lot, but be careful. People tend to shoot the messenger.

[ ...He regrets saying that after getting the sense that it wasn't a great vote of confidence. But as far as he knows, he's taking one for the team. Marcos wouldn't want to be in his position. ]

I'll keep my eyes open. Good luck.
