[Things have been going well for Allen the past month. Very well. And while that was certainly a good thing, he couldn't shake the anxiety that it meant something was about to go horribly wrong. Because you know, because it usually did for him. ]

[So he here was, trying to at least put a few of his fears at rest- especially after this latest round of augment malfunctions. Just what if the next round of malfunctions were less benevolent in nature? In truth - he didn't really expect any good answers. There almost never was when he sought out help. Still, there was always a chance. And at least he'd feel like he was doing something]

i don't want to clog the line but like, is that a thing we have to worry about here? i'm new

[save_the_souls]

only if someone arrives with that sort of problem

[ LIKE HIM AHEM.... ]

[limitstorm]

[ uhhhhhhh... ]

... did something happen?

[save_the_souls]

not yet.

i'm actually hoping to prevent that.

[reconstitution]

..Those things happen?

[save_the_souls]

unfortunately, yes.

[....Squints at the screen. Why does she even respond to these things??]

[unconfines]

[He almost doesn't bother, but. It would be a lie to say that the prospect of his future doesn't scare him, and so:]

They're sort of messy by nature, aren't they? Possessions. Best option is to stop it before it begins, so to speak.

Sorry, I say best. What I mean is "only."

[That's not very optimistic. But he doesn't really see the point of optimism, at this stage in his life, as much as he likes to profess otherwise.]

[save_the_souls]

...

so your suggestion is to figure out how to time travel.

thanks. i'll keep that in mind

[curiositykilledthecats]

I have slain many of the Void, though I have yet to face one capable of possession myself. I have heard tell of it done, however. A font of aether that may be sufficient to tempt the voidsent to leave its host, in hopes of glutting itself upon this feast, and then to strike as it moves between hosts.

[save_the_souls]

a font aether? what is that?

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Fun fact: I am technically a priest.

[save_the_souls]

What?!

[ WHAT RELIGION WOULD ORDAIN THAT GUY??????? ]

[stefanged]

I know a little. My faith doesn't talk about this a lot, but we've got our ways, mostly for jinn.

I'm not sure it would work on any other kind of demon, unfortunately. I think there's an Exorcist on the Fleet? You'd be better off asking him. [He's not naming specifics because frankly, he's not sure that's common knowledge.]

[save_the_souls]

[ ...Yeah. He recognizes who that is, and he can GUESS who Stefan is referring to (haha, guess his advertising is working). But ugh, he'll play it straight. He rather not reveal this about himself to Stefan just yet. ]

a jinn?

is there an Exorcist? I didn't know that

[notkittenaround]

Were I armed still, I can cleanse the malaise of the voidsent. Yet I fear I have tested little on those possessed- save giving encouragement for it to leave its host by way of force. T'would be a risky endeavour.

[save_the_souls]

[There's a pause]

...thank you but if your methods is what it sounds like- it doesn't seem to work on this.

[AS HE'S LEARNED FROM HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE EXPERIENCES]

[stickupherforehead]

Last time that happened, we threw it into the lava.

[that's probably not the answer you're looking for]

[save_the_souls]

What?! Lava?!

[JESUS. HE KNEW A LOT OF WORLDS KILLED THAT TYPE, BUT TALK ABOUT OVERKILL]

[gunslinger]

Jeez is someone around here possessed?! Maybe throw them in a bath of holy water or something and when the demon comes out, kill it with fire!

[ This one has watched too many movies. ]

[save_the_souls]

[JR...........]

that only works in movies.

[There's no fooling Crowley. Normally, he leaves his found family to their own devices, but this concerns him enough to comment. ]

So. What's brought this on?

Private

[save_the_souls]

[Gosh Dangit Uncle.]

Nothing. I just want to be careful after that last round of augment malfunctions.

[geonomy]

huh. man. i've heard of ghost possession but not -demonic- possession

[save_the_souls]

[OH WELL. THIS IS AWKWARD.]

they aren't really that common, I think....

demonic. I don't know about ghost ones.
