Two ☠ Text

[lingeringfear]

I've been told that if you keep a body cold enough, it will retain its features for years, frozen in time. Can you imagine yourself like that? Your blood and your bone frozen solid, with skin and hair and everything, eyes open and wide and staring sightless into the world. I'd like you to really think about it- dying in the cold, that is. Preserved perfectly forever.

It would be an interesting way to keep you all from complaining, don't you think? A quick snap freeze and you're all immobile. If we're being honest, I think that would probably be the best solution to our interpersonal problems- but I'd want to keep you just barely alive somehow, conscious enough to still feel fear. Frozen and screaming. Take a minute and think about it. I rather like the idea.

...oh, also, Rage apparently won Hope's stupid poll. He's making the preparations to revive her and you should expect her to awaken at the end of the month.

I fear no death from cold.

[lingeringfear]

...oh.

[Well, he's got to think that one over.]

Maybe you'll be the exception. Fears aren't quite universal, you know.

[bekommen]

Well, the award for biggest fucking creep ever goes to you, I think it's safe to say.

[lingeringfear]

I literally consume fear.

[Explaining, just in case that was overlooked.]

That's kind of the point.

[Hey look someone figured out the network. Sort of. The uh, video, just shows... some armor........ sorry.........]

I know what you speak of intimately and it does not bother me one whit.

[lingeringfear]

[Cute. Look at that armor. It's a good thing he's wearing armor, really, or Fear would have grouped Rag'kar in with the nonsentient creatures that also come from the Door and reacted accordingly.

I mean, he does look a little... monstery.]

What, freezing? So- hold on, you creatures enjoy being frozen?

[Did he get this part wrong too? Goddamnit.]

[recinerate]

Do you have any factual evidence to back up your hypothesis, or are you relying solely on conjecture?

text.

[lingeringfear]

Which hypothesis? The one where I think that the humans would stop complaining if I froze them out?

I mean, I think it's pretty solid reasoning.

If you'll excuse the pun.

[baths]

is this the sort of thing you normally sit around thinking about?

[lingeringfear]

I do have a lot of free time.

[peoplediewhenikillthem]

Boring. [ A lazy reply for a thought she believes is equally as lazy. ]

Tell me about Rage.

video;

[lingeringfear]

[Well, this isn't going as planned.]

I'm not sure what there is to say about her. She's useful when she wants to be. She can be rather pleasant, if you like that sort of thing. Or rather- if you dislike it.

[He shrugs.]

She's got a way of getting under your skin.

[swarm_embrace]

Not even the cold void of space would freeze me.

[Kerrigan sounds a little amused at these attempts.]

voice

[lingeringfear]

Really? Why is that?

[Guess who hasn't bothered to figure out that not all of you guys are human.

This guy.]

[miscreant]

[Ok the other two death knights have it covered, so she just kind of sits with her chin propped up on her hand.

She almost feels sorry for him.]

Don't let the others get you down, darling. It was a nice attempt.

video;

[lingeringfear]

I'm not down. I'm-

[He pauses, frowning.]

-different humans are afraid of different things. Just because they aren't quaking doesn't mean that nobody else is.

[isacrowd]

Who hurt you as a kid that now this is how you get your kicks?

Genuinely curious.

[Also, what do you mean, we're not getting a hospital?? Oh well. Maybe they can all blast their way out of here, away from this creepy weirdo, wow.]

text

[lingeringfear]

I was never a 'kid'.

I consume fear. Causing it in others is beneficial to me.

[whichend]

ao gaoman biare.

[lingeringfear]

Thank you, I think.

Were you pleased with your blessing?

[64th]

I can't wait. [ bring it on, weirdo. ]

[lingeringfear]

I'm glad you're excited for being frozen alive.

[He really needs to reconsider his threats, apparently.]

video

[imobouzu]

I will overcome the battle against the cold with the power of my will!!

[ Determined teen right here. ]

video

[lingeringfear]

...I don't think that's how it works.

[Someone has clearly never read shonen manga.]

[cowed]

Do we have to take the minute
Because really, given the scenario you've so graciously provided us
I'd rather not.

[lingeringfear]

Well, if you mull it over, it gives you sufficient time to be fearful of it. That was the point of it all, to be honest.

[ Kaz really hadn't expected one of these gods to show themselves so soon, even if it is through a message that's text-only. The technology of his mobile phone is a little more advanced than what he's used to, not to mention he's typing one-handed, but he gets a response sent out eventually. ]

So this is your plan? To strike fear into the hearts of all of us?

[ Fear is an emotion that Miller learned not to admit to a long time ago, but rage? That's something he can get behind. At least the other people here are on the right track there. ]

text;

[lingeringfear]

That's the plan, yes. I want your fear, and I'll do what it takes to get it.

[cowardley]

Please, please don't freeze us. [ why is everyone so antagonistic?! yeah, let's just try to piss of a god. seems like a great way to get all of us killed. ]

[lingeringfear]

And why not? You would make lovely statues.

[Goading a little, to eke out more fear.]

I am rather much used to the cold. Aye, my homeland was enshrouded in a deadly winter that happened all too suddenly. Many fell victim to such a fate as a direct result, but it did naught to shake our resolve—as you are so hard pressed to do.

[He gives him a stern sort of stare, but then there's a slight upward curve to his lip, a smirk that isn't quite.]

I wager, if you had the ability to do such a villainous act, or the true desire to, you would have done so already.

[Though, the news about Rage is a little upsetting, he had much rather a place of succor, but he supposes an armory was the second best choice.]

video;

[lingeringfear]

Not exactly true.

[He holds up a hand, shaking his head and mirroring that smile.]

You can think this out, can't you? What does my threat accomplish, before the act? How does the knowledge of what I'd like to do make some of you feel?

[notjustinthemirror]

Would they shatter if hit with something?

[Asking for a friend.]

[lingeringfear]

I don't know. I suppose they would if they were cold enough.

"but I'd want to keep you just barely alive somehow, conscious enough to still feel fear. Frozen and screaming."

I don't know if it works that way...

text

[lingeringfear]

Hence 'somehow'.

I could get Hope to help, maybe. He's getting familiar with all of your spindly bits and brain matter.

[thechoiceisyours]

[Why is this even a thing. Any of this.]

I think it's a little more complicated than just freezing to get the whole preserved effect.

[He remembers reading something about this during a late-night internet browsing session, but not enough that he's totally sure how it works. Still, a bit of discouragement from the idea of freezing people solid isn't a bad idea, right?]

[Text]

[lingeringfear]

Well, I suppose you'd have to die eventually. I could accept that.

[fervence]

why is everyone so obsessed with preserving perfection
you know it doesnt work like that right??

[lloyd really doesn't want to see if zelos' dislike of snow extends to ice, pls no freezing people mr. fear sir.]

text.

[lingeringfear]

How does it work, then?
