hadriel | Video 9 - Sewing Shop (dated an hour after Lance's post)

[while Margaery may be in her usual place in the Sewing Shop, that's not what she's choosing to address. not this time.

sure, she's dressed up as usual, she has her sword laid across her lap and visible in the frame of the video.

she's also not wearing her usual bright smile. instead, her expression is deadly serious]

As I'm sure we're all aware, the demon has been temporarily been . . . put out of commission. Now, this is not the place to debate the wisdom of vigilante justice. Dr. Sweets appears to have that well in hand. No, what this is is the place to discuss what measures may be taken to prevent the demon from taking its rage out on the entirety of Hadriel.

The gods will do nothing. Tranquility told me himself that they will only take action if they themselves are threatened. So we're left to fend for ourselves. We must make our plans ourselves and it would be far better to have those plans coordinated well in advance of its release.

So I am directing this to anyone who has ideas for what to do when the demon is inevitably released back into the populace. Surely there are those with powers or skills which could prevent it from going on a murderous rampage. Now is the time for those people to step forward and offer their ideas.

Thank you for your time and attention.

No, we don't, and unless we want to take measure and try and find out-- something this individual may or may not want considering they have not come forward.

It is possible however that this individual has enough power to protect themselves. They seem to have done an admirable job so far.

No, they haven't and judging from the reactions I've seen, they likely won't. After all, I certainly wouldn't want to be ostracized from a decent portion of the city or considered an idiot by the rest. Not that I consider them an idiot, I merely think that they could have. . . thought things through a little better.

Perhaps. For their sake, I certainly hope so.

Well there's nothing we can do for them unless they choose to be helped. As for Caedra....I think a lot of that will depend on her. I'll do my best to protect people from her, but I can't be everywhere.

Perhaps if we set up areas of volunteers around the islands--those who could defend against her?

I know you can't. No one can. And you must take care, the demon is a dangerous opponent.

[sounding resigned] That was what I was hoping for when I made this video, but it seems as though people are more concerned with what I call it than they are with what it is capable of.

Well, I suppose I can do what I can. And I assure you, I shall be careful.

You'd better. I'd be quite cross with you, should you be otherwise.

I'm sure you would. I shan't disappoint you.

Good.

I fear that I won't be able to take part in the efforts to. . . pacify the demon. I've grown quite skilled with the sword, but this is not an opponent that can be defeated by mere human efforts.

No, it cannot be. And you are aware of my feelings regarding you using weapons.

[He wasn't going to be bring up the fact that she had also been killed by her, and that trauma might not be something she was able to overcome on the battlefield.]

I am well aware. [her voice takes on a teasing tone] But you'll be glad to have me watching your back, should the Null come again.

[that is her fear, that she'd be confronted by the demon and freeze]

I'm sure I will.

[He'd never seen her work with a sword, and would honestly prefer never to and keep her out of harms way. But she was proud of her skill and he could be polite, since he obviously couldn't stop her.]
