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.

[Oh boy...]

she hasnt gone on a murderous rampage since that shit w. the demons a few months back.
goin after her w. torches and pitchforks is stupid.
if ur really set on a preventative approach ill just fuckin talk to her when she thaws out.

Which was caused by her murder of me, lest you forget or simply not care.
That wasn't what I was proposing at all.
Preventative measures are fine, as long as it keeps it from hurting others.

Yeah, I've got the powers and skills to deal with demons, but those powers and skills usually involve killing them, which isn't a thing here.

Would you be able to keep it contained long enough for someone else to intervene in a non-lethal manner?

I could distract her, sure, assuming she doesn't get a good hit in and kill me, but how are we supposed to hold her permanently?

[Delmar saw her announcement, but rather than call he shows up a little bit later, knocking in his usual timid way at the doorframe and a shy wave when she looks in his direction.]

i didnt forget and i do care but i was running on the assumption that this isnt a personal grudge.
turning her into a mythical villain is just gonna make her worse u know. demons live for this shit.
ftr i dont agree w. preventative measures. thatll just piss her off plus its imposing some like law system on this city and thats a bad idea.
the only permanent solution i could see working is talkin to her.

It is personal in a way it may not be to others.
It is already a mythical villain and seems to revel in that fact.
Who said anything about laws?
I'm simply saying that perhaps it might be a good idea to stop a likely slaughter in the making.
Do you volunteer to do so?

It wouldn't have to be permanent. It could be just long enough to . . . convince it that running amok would be a poor idea.

If you want to talk to her, I don't think we should start off by beating the shit out of her.

[Kyna's charisma is like a 1, but.]

That usually makes people not want to listen to you. So does freezing them for a month.

we can agree to disagree then. im always goin to think preventative measures are stupid in a place like this.
if we start taking action against anyone who might be dangerous in the future were gonna have to lock up a lot of fuckin ppl.
but w.e.
yeah im on it.
im good at that shit and idc if she takes out her anger on me.

[at the sight of Delmar, Margaery's expression blooms into its usual warm smile and she immediately gets up, setting the sword aside, and goes to greet him at the door with a hug]

Delmar! How good it is to see you. How are you?

we dont even kno if shes gonna want to kill everybody
she might just go after whoever tf froze her
i say we just be prepared if she does try to attack but like
startin shits gonna be a bad time

and its she not it
shes kind of a bitch but like
shes still a person

[He returns the smile, hugging back vigorously]

I...I had to tell you something...but I didn't want to say it on the telephone....

I suppose, since you seem determined to think that's what I'm saying.
Which I wasn't proposing at all.
Merely having a contingency plan in place for a being who seems to have a propensity towards violence upon its release.
Very well, then. I wish you good fortune.

That wasn't what I was proposing. Simply having those who could stop her present upon her release, as a deterrent.

Freezing it for a month is what concerns me. It's putting a bandage on a gut wound. Such wounds tend to fester.

[she pats his back and pulls back enough to see his face]

What is it you wanted to say?

That is what I'm proposing.
Preparation in case it does try to attack.
Demons aren't people.

[Delmar hasn't planned how to say what he wants to say so he sort of just blurts it out in a flustered mess]

A while ago this Caedra person...she...she attacked Michael and me....and...you should stay away from her, Miss Margaery. She's very dangerous. What if she hurts you again? Or....or Michael...or Harley.....

but like arent we already prepped for attackers??
like idk what else we can do but like fuckin float her in the ocean lmao
n i dont think thats a good idea like at all
bc shell just come back madder than ever
also wtf
where are we drawin the people line then?
just demons?
once u start excludin some ppl u dont like
its not a stretch to start thinkin of other ones as not ppl either
thats fucked up
there r humans just as bad as her just not as strong

[her expression goes from happy to distressed]

It did? Why did you not tell me? And I may not have a choice in the matter if no one else is willing to step forward. As long as Michael and Harley stay away from it, they should be fine.

so are u suggesting preventative measures or a contingency plan if she tries anything?
thx.

We have the Guard but thus far, no one from it has offered any ideas.
And it's at that particular demon.
I know of other demons here who are lovely people.
Those humans don't go around killing whomever they please.

[...Jo almost ignores this, but-]

The gods won't do anything? Don't they realize Hope's going to have so much work after she gets out?

A contingency plan.
Nothing more, nothing less.
