[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. )

There will be a fight for power when this does come out, and the city itself may be in danger. There is already unrest within it due to the current state of politics and the recent battle with the undead. We will need to be prepared and so will the city.

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.

Certainly better than simply taking it all without considering the potential implications of doing so. ( ahem. )
I had heard about that but not who had done the stealing back. By returning those items, the healers were able to make the poultice which has been abating Vannozza's affliction for some time. I now wonder what it possibly could have been given the nature of her affliction. ( a lotion that could help with symptoms of losing one's soul? he thought her affliction was more than simply what the attaryl was doing to her, and he still does especially with that in mind. )
no subject
[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 (?_?)]
no subject
This world operates far differently from my own, but I too find it unlikely they would be able to find a lotion which could do so. It does help her in some way. It has healed the rash on her for a time, but-
( it obviously has never healed her. )
It is more likely the lotion simply masked the symptoms or she has another affliction beyond what the Attaryl are doing to her.
( either way. )

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