Who: Cole
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Pathstone unless asked to go somewhere
When: Now-ish?


[The broadcast is very unusual, coming from Cole. He replies, sometimes, but he very rarely initiates communication through the network.

The camera points at the ceiling, catching just the edge of Cole's hat. He has it in his lap but doesn't try to look into it.]

I need someone who is able to kill me if I turn into a demon. Cassandra promised to, but she's gone and Jove and Solas said they would, but with them gone, I need someone to make sure I'm not a danger to people.

[killedwithlove]

Oh. Okay.

... how?

[girlverine]

I don't know. I have never had to learn about how engines work.

[killedwithlove]

Okay.

[Just like that, he accepts that she doesn't know either.]

Thank you. For explaining about electricity.

[girlverine]

[She'll just nod.]

...Can you explain anything about demons?

[killedwithlove]

What do you want to know? I don't know lots like Solas, but I know a bit.

[girlverine]

Would you look like you? Or is a transformation?

[killedwithlove]

... I don't know.

I suppose, like Despair. Silent. Cold. Floating.

[girlverine]

So, like you do now, but floating. And...sad?

[Laura doesn't really do metaphors.]

[killedwithlove]

[It's not a metaphor. Cole doesn't do metaphors.]

Not sad. Despairing. Cold and chilled and wrung out.

[girlverine]

I don't understand.

[killedwithlove]

If I become Despair, I'll be cold. Cold enough to freeze the flesh.

[girlverine]

You become the embodiment of an emotion?

[Not the weirdest thing she's heard of, actually.]

[killedwithlove]

I already am.

I'm Compassion. Cole. Compassion.

[girlverine]

You...are compassion.

[She thought this over.]

Why would you become something else?

[killedwithlove]

Because spirits often become corrupted into demons by the mortal world.
