Video 3

[the video opens on Laura sitting on the edge of her bed, legs crossed at the knee. she's dressed and madeup in full eighties regalia, but her expression is more on the serious side than playful.

she's seen multiple posts about Caedra and has learned from their mistakes. so she's playing as nicely as she can]


Look, I get why people are so worried about Caedra going on a rampage and trying to kill a lot of people. It makes sense to be scared about that. But what if I had a way to keep her from being able to kill people in the first place?

[she holds up her right hand, a ring on her ring finger]

This ring keeps Caedra from being able to kill me. So I'm willing to let someone who knows about magic to study it and try to duplicate its magic so that other jewelry and trinkets can be enchanted with the same magic and passed out to everyone. That way, she wouldn't be able to kill anyone, even if she does decide to play nicely this time and not attack everyone.

I'm willing to turn the ring over to anyone who thinks they can figure out a way to use it to keep others safe. All I ask is that I get the ring back before she defrosts.

Any luck yet? I'll offer protection to anyone capable for the time it takes to duplicate it. I know that the demon has a lot of supporters, it might be worth it to try to keep them away from whoever might be able to recreate it.

She's a known demon and a killer. People support her, which means they've probably been compromised somehow. It screams out occult to me, sadly. Which is why I think whoever makes the rings might need support, in the end. It's a pity, but anyone who trusts that kind of person might not be safe anymore. To themselves or others.

[No, but he can almost imagine. It's beyond frustrating to many that someone like Caedra would have protectors.]

I'm not sure either, honestly. If they're just terrible people making the choice to support a monster, that's one thing easily dealt with. They threw in their lot with her, and they dug their graves.

But those traumatized and tormented into worshiping? Those controlled somehow by dark magics? That makes things complicated. We want to protect the victims, but if they're willing to fight for a demon our hands are somewhat tied.

Good point. And putting them back in again and again would be terribly inconvenient. [And fun, so much fun.] Some people never learn, unless it's the hard way. Perhaps those affected by her entirely questionable charms, for lack of a better phrase, would be able to see clearly again after a trip to the morgue?

I'm not sure I'd be able to be so good hearted as to not wish that sort of thing on my worst enemies. But I suppose very few deserve that sort of torment in the end.

[He's done it, before. He's the casual, smiling killer. He's made happy conversation while sending someone to the grave and enjoying every moment. But in this side, this human form, he can be disgusted at the idea of it. It's an odd situation to be in, holding onto humanity while keeping the monster at bay. And enjoying both parts of it.]

As much as I'd like to say otherwise, the citizens of this city keep surprising me with how tolerable they are as a whole. And then there's the ones worth having as friends, and to me they make up for having to deal with that obnoxious demon.

Now, all we have to do is keep her away from everyone else and we're set. If only it was that easy.


[She might not be speaking about those things aloud, but if she was she'd be preaching to the choir. Tyki is the double life king, murderer and monster on one hand, human and friend on the other. These two have a lot in common, even if they don't know it.]

[She obviously can't hear it, but Tyki is laughing at wall to wall assholes. It's probably his favorite saying ever now. Laura once more proves herself one of the most interesting people in this damned city.]

Probably both, unfortunately. I guess that's where the wall to wall assholes business comes into play.

Think they brought her here on purpose? Maybe it's not just that she's good for them, maybe they hand picked her.

Someone else looking at things with a bit of sense is comforting. If comfort can be had here at all.

I'm not one to spurn assistance, but it just seems a little too convenient that we're trapped by a mysterious door and the gods that are supposed to help us benefit from our emotions.

Traditional comfort, maybe. But alcohol can still be had and that's great comfort as well. Friends and booze make for a very comforting situation, no matter how many assholes line the walls.

I'm suspicious. And I don't feel like it's foolishness to be wary of the situation. The first feelings I had in this place were intense ones, not because of my arrival but from what I was taken from. They fed well the moment I arrived.

I'd love to visit you again. If it wasn't for you, I would have struggled far more upon arrival. Thank you again for that.

No, it's not too personal. I was breaking into a church prison for a little rescue endeavor. I'd rather have been able to see it through than visit Hadriel. But we can't get everything we want in life.

It's simply the truth.

I'm glad to hear that. The boy I'm trying to rescue is important, I'd hate to see him waste away in a dungeon. If time here doesn't affect things back home, all should continue on as planned.
