[And once Kyna and Tucker show up, HH is teleporting them toooooo on top of the armory. Seems like the best place to scope out the situation? Time for some threat assessment.]

[evocation]

[Yeah, this... sucks. Kyna lets out a long-suffering sigh when she spots the vrocks in the air.]

The guard can handle that, right?

[nowherewolf]

[Ayup those sure are demons.]

Maybe. Probably. We got like, gods and shit in the city. We'll be fine.

[He's gonna. Pull on that feather cloak real quick though, just in case.]

[ghostlocked]

[Harlan is munching on a little bag of trail mix! He's just picking out the chocolate chips, though.]

Seem to think they can. I'm not counting too many though, and admittedly, some pretty weird shit comes through the Door every month.

[He shrugs.]

[evocation]

Okay.

[So Harlan's official boss opinion is that it's not their problem. Fair.]

What about Caedra?

[nowherewolf]

[Tucker zooms in for the trail-mix handful snatch. He'll leave the chocolate alone, though.]

What about her? She's not like these fuckers, she's some demon lord shit.

[He feigns crossing himself. No thanks.]

[Harlan tries to duck away, but rogue vs. sorcerer dexterity... Tucker gets his handful. And a mighty frown from HH.

But, right. They're working. Sort of. Ugh.]

Yeah, we're not getting involved with her. This is fucked up, but I'm not playing police. This kind of shit isn't our job here.

[Kyna shoots Harlan a look.]

So we're not going to help because no one's paying us?

[nowherewolf]

[Tucker's next words are spoken through a mouthful of trail mix.]

No, we're not gonna help because it wouldn't fuckin' matter. What're we gonna do? Kill her? She'll come right back.

[ghostlocked]

[Harlan shoots Kyna a look right back. She thinks this is about money? Jesus. But then Tucker's taking the words out of his mouth and, that's trippy, Tucker also isn't here for the reward?

All this character development up in here, yikes.]

Yeah, if there was something we could feasibly do to stop her, sure. I'm in. Problem is, there isn't, and I don't want a demon with a grudge killing me on repeat for the foreseeable future.

[evocation]

[Yeah, that's a good point. She looks away, watching the vrocks as her mouth twists.]

What if she just keeps killing people, though?

[nowherewolf]

[Tucker thinks that over a second, chewing.]

If she just keeps pullin' shit like this, then I feel like maybe a town-wide decision might be in order. Maybe we lock her up in a box or something, I don't know. How do you seal demons? We've always just sent 'em packing.

[ghostlocked]

God intervention would be my first choice. I don't want to start some kind of mock judicial system. Fuck that.

[But he's still thinking.]

I could Forcecage her to buy us some time if it really came down to that. Not sure I'd be able to hold her for very long, though. And again, not putting my name in the grudge hat. Outside of that... Feeblemind, I guess?

[He does not sound very confident. Psychic fuckery with demons is not something he's too keen to try again.]

[evocation]

Um... Maybe no psychic shit this time.

[She's getting fidgety.]

I bet people are going to go after her, and they probably don't even get what they're dealing with.

[nowherewolf]

You warned 'em on the network though, right? Besides, a lotta people here fought off the fuckin' Null invasion. They can handle one demon, collectively.

[Probably. Also it's like 16 demons but whatever. Tucker just sort of sits down on the edge of the roof.]

[ghostlocked]

Whoever dies will just come back.

[Harlan picks up on the fidgeting, though. He holds out the bag of trail mix to her.]

If it starts to approach Null invasion bad, we can step in. Right now, it's not worth it. That's all I'm saying.
