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.

[whether or not Cole ever checks the screen for typed messages, one appears anyway.]

[killedwithlove]

who are you and do you know what signs to look for in demons and spirit from thedas only i dont want to die if i am safe to others

Voice

[girlverine]

[Hm.]

What does turning into a demon consist of?

[killedwithlove]

...

I don't understand.

[girlverine]

What does it mean? What happens to you that makes you dangerous to others?

[killedwithlove]

I... could turn into a demon, deep, dragging Despair draped dangerously towards death...

I would hurt people. I don't want to hurt people. And I don't know that most people could stop me, catch me.

[girlverine]

[This whole conversation is just going to go terribly isn't it.]

...That doesn't make sense.

How are you dangerous? What would you be doing that would hurt people? How can you be stopped?

[there's an extended little pause while he dinks around with the broadcast until it's properly encrypted.]

i dont know thedas but i know demons

tell me what i need to know and i will take care of it

its my job

[killedwithlove]

A pair of socially inept young adults discussing something that one struggles to explain and the other has no context for...

It's going to be interesting.

I'll kill people. Lots of people. And probably be invisible. Or maybe make people kill themselves. Despair drags the heart to darkness.

I... I think I can be killed. It should banish me. I don't know if it would destroy me. Cassandra could do it. But Cassandra's gone. A mage should be able to tell us for sure. But Anders and Jove and Solas and Dorian are all gone too.

... maybe Riona would know.

[girlverine]

I know very little about magic.

But I have tracked invisible creatures before. And anything can be killed.

[She's had a lot of practice.]

[killedwithlove]

i dont know what you need to know if you know demons you know what is necessary to stop one i would think so what could i tell you

[killedwithlove]

That is not dead which can eternal lie. And with strange aeons, even death may die.

[He says it almost sing song, repeating something he's heard.]

Not me, you haven't. I'm a different sort of invisible. Not unseen. Unknown. Unknowable until unawares, death euphoria unwinds....

Yes. I can be killed. But I don't know what that means for me. Or me that is a demon.

[girlverine]

I don't know.

[She knows nothing about any of this.]

Do you have a smell?

[killedwithlove]

... Cadash said I smelt worse than a nug's den when we spent a week camping in the Fallow Mire.

[girlverine]

Then I can find you.

[Laura has all the confidence in this.]

voice;

[nerdeology]

[There's a heavy thing to start the day with. He's still kind of under the weather, but you can't just ignore that sort of thing.]

...That... can't be the only choice. If something happened to you, there has to be a way to save you.

[mortalcoil]

ive learned creatures are all different here

i need to know things like

what are you when you are not a demon

can you be hurt or killed by physical things like silver or only magic

are you undead

[killedwithlove]

Okay.

[He wants to believe her. He's not sure he does. He doesn't know her.]

[girlverine]

If you become a danger, I can stop you.

[Again, confidence.]

But I would need to know what you think you would be doing as a demon.

[killedwithlove]

If I became a demon, I would kill everyone I could. I would drive more to kill themselves. And I don't know how to make demons back into spirits, only spirits into demons. Solas might have known. But he's gone.

[killedwithlove]

when im not a demon im me cole who is also compassion but definitely cole and i can be hurt but i dont know if i can die because ive never died before so i might be able to and havent or maybe i cant and i dont know that but i think i can die or be banished back to the fade and magic can hurt me but not friendly fire because its friendly and i haven't died or been born so i dont think im undead but im not a mortal either

[killedwithlove]

Killing people. Or making them kill themselves.

[nerdeology]

Why do you think you might become a demon?

[girlverine]

But how?

[killedwithlove]

It nearly happened before. Spirits become demons easily. And if it does, I won't want to hurt anyone. I want to know someone will, can, stop me.
