Possession, is it? I will not kill those who are under the influence of this experiment, even if I have been given my full powers back. The Malnosso apparently want to see if we actually will try to kill each other, and I will not stoop so low as to follow their direction.

However. If any of you, possessed or simply returned to full power, decide to threaten the safety of others in this town, I will stop you. I am well capable of restraining or incapacitating nearly any threat in my current state, so you would be well advised to keep your own powers under control.

Thank you. I cannot understand why anyone would listen to the Malnosso, anyway; they've never done anything but toy with us. To listen to them now is madness.

[rubyeyes-ryuhou.livejournal.com]

I wonder at their motives in this. Surely, they suspect that some of us will try to attack them rather than each other?

I hope no one actually follows their orders.

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

Probably, but I bet they would enjoy the turmoil it would cause in the meantime.

I hope you're right, though some might be amoral or desperate enough to try anything, either because they can or they think it might lead to their release.

[rubyeyes-ryuhou.livejournal.com]

If anyone does attempt something like that, I will stop them.

[winged-rogue.livejournal.com]

I'll help you. We're not supposed to be fighting other villagers, let alone taking each other's lives! If anyone tries to do something rash, I won't hesitate to step in either.

[rubyeyes-ryuhou.livejournal.com]

Thank you. What abilities do you have? I hope there will be enough of us with sense not to follow their directions.

[winged-rogue.livejournal.com]

I can use all sorts of magic, including a bit of healing. But mostly, I'm a pretty decent swordfighter. All I need are my two trusty cutlasses, really.

[rubyeyes-ryuhou.livejournal.com]

Healing may be needed if any actually take the command seriously... or go wild with their powers. I hope you do not have to use your swords.

[winged-rogue.livejournal.com]

Yeah, same here. There should be a peaceful way to solve this.

[rubyeyes-ryuhou.livejournal.com]

I hope so. The Malnosso seem to thrive on violence and chaos.

[akumanotrill]

We'll be very safe with you around right, Ryuhou~? [has wind magic now but is not really possessed]

[rubyeyes-ryuhou.livejournal.com]

Of course. You always are.

[akumanotrill]

[laughs a bit] You sound so sweet sometimes~

[rubyeyes-ryuhou.livejournal.com]

Sweet?

[akumanotrill]

The way you say I am we are always safe around you~ So protective~ ♥

I can protect myself this time though. I've been given magic.

[rubyeyes-ryuhou.livejournal.com]

Ah... I see. It is no different than any other time... I will always protect my friends.

[akumanotrill]

I know. Thank you, Ryuhou but I don't really need protection.

[moon-paladin.livejournal.com]

Do not count yourself alone in such an endeavor.

[rubyeyes-ryuhou.livejournal.com]

Thank you. It is good to see that others have some sense when it comes to this.

[moon-paladin.livejournal.com]

Hn.

[rubyeyes-ryuhou.livejournal.com]

I don't think we've met before. What is your name?

[moon-paladin.livejournal.com]

Cecil Harvey. And you?

[rubyeyes-ryuhou.livejournal.com]

Ryuhou. Are you new here?

[moon-paladin.livejournal.com]

I've been here for a few months now.

[goldenpathredux.livejournal.com]

So you and your alter are back to full power?

There is more to this than meets the eye. Either the Malnosso are intensely ignorant as to human behavior or they don't actually want us to attack each other.

[rubyeyes-ryuhou.livejournal.com]

Yes, I am. Are you as well?

I am sure they are not as stupid as this plan makes them seem. There is an alternate motive.

[goldenpathredux.livejournal.com]

I have full control of my vision and ancestral memory and can use the Weirding Way at full effectiveness.

[Private]

...As well as the voice of command. I can order obediance in the untrained and they will be unable to resist. My aunt is far more adept at it than I, but should you need it...

[Private]

[rubyeyes-ryuhou.livejournal.com]

I did not know you possessed such a power. I hesitate to control others actions against their well, but should the need arise, such a skill may be useful.

[Private]

[goldenpathredux.livejournal.com]

I was unable to use it until this shift began. I can teach you the rudiments for use in an emergency.

[Private]

[rubyeyes-ryuhou.livejournal.com]

It is something that can be taught?

[Private]

[goldenpathredux.livejournal.com]

Normally mastery takes decades of study but I think your military training and the kinesthetic sense you developed from your alter could accelerate the process

[Private]

[rubyeyes-ryuhou.livejournal.com]

Interesting. I have seen your ability in fighting... would I be able to learn some of that as well? I consider myself fast, but I could hardly keep up with you.

[Private]

[goldenpathredux.livejournal.com]

The Weirding Way? I will teach you what I can.

[Private]

[rubyeyes-ryuhou.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I wish I could teach you my power as well, but Alter is a born ability, not learned.

[colony_brat]

Hey, Kitty. Havin' fun? This is great. Just don't go tryin' ta kill me, alright? I'll even pick up clothes. Wanna come fly? 's great.

[rubyeyes-ryuhou.livejournal.com]

"Fun" is not the word I would use to describe this.

...and of course I'm not going to try to kill you. Even if you are horrible at cleaning.

You can fly?

[colony_brat]

Why not? I'm havin' a great time. You should try ta enjoy yourself a little more. I know Hijiri and I would both be willin' ta help ya relax and have a good time.

Well, guy's gotta be sure his neck's not 'bout ta be cut when the Malnosso are sayin' shit like they are. And I eventually clean up after us. Guy has ta take a minute to recover.

[Duo puffs up his chest and spreads his wings.] With these babies, you bet. Oh, I guess you can't, can you? Damn. Guess we can't go together. That sucks. It's a lotta fun.

[rubyeyes-ryuhou.livejournal.com]

Hn. I'm sure you would. This is a serious situation, however.

[smirks ever-so-slightly and calls up his full Alter from] I can fly like this.

[colony_brat]

Well yeah, that's why you gotta have fun. Ya can't let the serious get to ya so ya make it as fun as possible.

[Duo's eyes get wide for a moment before his grin joins them.] Yes! Then lets go flyin'. Come on. Come on. You need the fun. Yes. Come on. [Duo's as bad as a puppy, hopping toward the door excitedly.]

[rubyeyes-ryuhou.livejournal.com]

[sighs and shakes his head, following Duo toward the door] All right, all right. We can fly for awhile.

[colony_brat]

Yes, yes, yes! You're gunna love it. Wait, you've probably already done this. Who cares! You can have more fun 'cause it's with me now. Sure ya didn't fly with me before. [Duo leads them outside. His long wings spread out and with a hard downward stroke, launches himself into the air.]
