[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. )

[hm]

Could we just, like, stage a kidnapping or something? Like, that would get her away from the witches, whether she wants to or not, and maybe you guys could figure out something if you could work with her in private.

[look, it's not his fault all his plans are a little extreme]

Eh, well, at least there's that.

[hopefully, they can kill him before he bodyjacks Vannozza]

But so -- what? Just sit tight and wait until then?

[because he feels like he should be doing something. he's not sure what, though. raiding that bandit camp for medical supplies was all well and good, but]

Do I get credit if I already did some of that?

[a beat]

Me and that fire wizard kid from the Tower -- [Zuko] -- and a couple of other guys went and stole some shit from some assholes that looted the healers' place.

[oh, uh. he should probably clarify]

We gave it back to the healers.

[honestly, even he's not sure who he's asking for credit from]

[but anyway]


Yeah, I don't really see how you'd make a lotion for treating soul-death or whatever. [clearly, he's had the same thought] I mean, like, more power to them, if they can, but. [if you could see his face, Wrath, the mask is currently very (?_?)]

[then notice him, senpai!]

Yay, for this whole situation being bullshit! [a beat] I'm really glad my world's idea of identity theft is nothing like this.
