[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]

[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.]

[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.

Fun fact: I am technically a priest.

[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.]

[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.

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

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

[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. ]

[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?

[geonomy]

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