I'm curious, what exactly would Will think about the murder situation?In part depends on what whoever's running the plot says he picks up with his power.
Hainuwele continues to be unable to respond to <mindtalk>Didn't Ghost give her something?
"I mean, he used a scalpel to kill him. Maybe it's some sort of Dr.Frankenstein, who is building some sort of super-mage by cramping his monster full of magical organs?"<Dr. Frankenstein used alchemy to make his monster. Anyways...it's possible?>
((Well, they can hear anyone who's holding one.))<That mage-killer? Doubtful, but...>
>The concept that the serial killer in the news here's a vigilante.<
"Hmm, we might be able to bait that mobster anymore, but we might be able to bait this killer. Who here has the most deliciousMind-whistling from Nuriel.orgamagical powers, and the most dubious record of questionable deeds?"
if Elf allows it, Hainuwele could probably temporarily envigorate her libido to a point where gender doesn't become much of an issue anymoreAssisted date rape is not cool, Akroma.
I mean hey, more than half of traditional chinese medicine deals with getting your naughty bits going
of course, aiming that raw libido at Kyle might be difficult, let alone saving hainuwele from being killed the moment the effect wears off and selina realizes what has been going on
Simple, kidnap her, torture her for weeks, then send her to Room 101. Bam, done.That is way not cool, Xantalos.
For one, that's far too light a punishment by any human's legal code, and two, you don't have the authority to.So? You don't need authority if you have the ability.
Angel stares at the television screen."What makes you so optimistic that they are gone? Sure, Bismuth is scary, but a gang with a mage as their leader will think of ways."
"Maybe... But until proven otherwise, I just want to forget about it..." She blinks, crying out a bit and scrambling backward into the couch as the news changes stories, the picture in the corner of the screen changing into the image of a dark-skinned man with tattoos covering most of the right half of his face.
"Another victim of the mage-killer was found today; Boston Tyler, suspected drug dealer, murderer, and known user of mind controlling and manipulating magics, was found dead in his home today. His wounds fit the profile of the other victims thus far, his throat slit open, seemingly from a scalpel or other such instrument, before his abdomen was cut open and the organs removed..."
"turnitoffturnitoffturnitoff..." she sobs, curling up.
>Dexter much?<<What's Dexterian?>
"I find the organ removal more worrying though. The point of these murders seem to go beyond just hating on mages and killing them. Maybe the murder is looking for something? Maybe drinking a nice organ slushy can give him the powers of his victims, or something?""Eww..."
"And who would you use as bait? Why would a gang that has interests in capturing her capture anyone else?""Why wouldn't they? They've gotta have some reason for capturing her, but why would that reason apply to her and only her?"
the layar being the invading aliens, or was that an even older plot? the name keeps popping upThe Layar were the aliens. And since that's the plot of the original RotMG, it's impossible for anything to be older.
"Why would the gang members go for anyone but the one they tried to capture.""That depends on why they tried to capture her. I mean, unless they were hired by her dad to try and bring her back or something like that there's a reason they wanted to capture her, and it might apply to someone else."
"I say since we can't capture them because of...strangulating tattoos, or whatever they are, we set her up as bait, and those of us who can be at least a bit subtle follow them to their hidehout. That one calls for bakeup then, and we might have a chance at actually getting some information. If you have way of doing that without her as bait, I am listening.""Use someone else?"
...the kindergardner/pyromaniac...She's in second grade, and she's pyrokinetic. Nuriel's the pyromaniac.
Totaly the best problem solvers and protectors.Well, Angel at least is world-famous for solving the Layar problem. It was a collaborative effort, but eh.
((What does Angel notice, exactly? She has a bond with Nuriel, a demon, and since that lead to her becoming permanently stuck at age 5 that's some pretty severe physical change from the bond.))"Well... Um... Bismuth, I guess... She kind of kidnapped me, a little." She giggles a bit. "I had a bit of trouble with some gang members, and she helped me out. Then she and a few others talked me down and she carried me back here. Without asking, but I wouldn't want to walk back to my apartment at night, anyway... I might be staying here, though..."She notices the small person, blinking a bit. It was surprising. "Hello there..." She doesn't really move or anything, just greets her, still mostly just sitting on the couch and fidgeting, lightly pulling on the sleeves of her sweatshirt, smoothing out her skirt, and generally looking rather nervous from all the people."Hi, Jaqualine! I'm Angel. What brings you here?"
"Subtle Bismuth...very subtle. Without a lead, all we can do is wait until they come to us then... And I don't suppose that missy here... ((poke against Jaque)) ... would be quite willing to act as bait, now would she...""I'm sure we could find someone else."
