Who: Sam and you
Broadcast: Voice
Action: N/A (unless plotted)
When: After this shit. Vague time is vague for plot convenience, shh.

[Sam feels like puking, thanks.

See, his friend had called him because of a suspiciously bitey vampire, and he had conversed with this vampire to find - well, he's not a fucking vampire. And of course, him trying to get the guy on lock-down did not... go that well. His brother and a certain little fae child got him back on his feet, uh. Relatively, but he still feels like he's been on the same Disney teacups a few too many times.

Regardless, he's gotta put up some serious alarm bells. You learn your lesson after Bucky's augment glitch. He sounds a bit groggy, a bit like he's got some vertigo going on, but he's also got an air of grim alert to it. This is a warning, y'all.]

There's someone going around who people may know as Sascha — something's seriously wrong with him; I'm thinking an augment glitch. That seems to be the norm from the Atroma lately, so... figures, if it is. His personality is completely off from what I'd seen before, and I was alerted to the fact that he had... bitten one of his crewmates. I tracked him down but he didn't exactly appreciate a hunter telling him he had to be put under surveillance.

[There's a dry air about that last bit; sick-feeling or not, he's a cheeky bastard sometimes, sue him. After a moment, he continues:]

He's not a vampire, though. Or at least acted like it was news to him. He says he's a Sheol - I'm unfamiliar with this race of creature, so I can't really help, but. Uh. His bites are toxic and cause numbness, sickness, and immobility. That's how he disables his prey. He got me, too, but I got lucky there.

I don't know where he is now, but please be careful. Keep a look-out. Any information you have on his abilities or any reports of attacks from him would be appreciated. He may be calm and he doesn't seem to be bloodthirsty. Yet, or otherwise. But he's detached and clearly capable of hurting others.

... Stay safe.

[As he closes the feed, you can hear him grumble exasperatedly - ]

... He licked me...

[Sheol?

And goddammit Sam--]

Didn't I tell you to be careful?

[goodness, but Meg loves when she gets to judge you idiots for being idiots]

Did you get your ass kicked again?

[collegedropout]

[He shrugs abortively, even though she can't see him.

She probably knows he did it anyway. He sounds apologetic???]

Sorry. I got ahead of myself.

Shut up.

Nothing's even broken.

[namisan]

[Yeah she can practically see the shrug okay. There's a gusty sigh and a small pause, during which she is pinching her nose and counting to five.]

You all right? Any other damage?

[angelherding]

Not this time, you mean.

[video]

[bb_wolf]

[Bigby looks annoyed.

Granted, that's often how he looks, but it seems a bit more so.]

He isn't detached. He's working on a different norm than you. He behaved perfectly fine with me. He just has a bite reflex when he's startled or alarmed or aggravated.

[To a Fable, that's fairly normal.]

[video]

[collegedropout]

He said he took a bite of Nami to see if she was worth eating. And after he bit me, he tried to taste me.

No offense, but I think I'll take his word and actions over yours. Easily.

[nice try though, man]

Re: video;

[collegedropout]

Isn't that usually how it goes? I like to switch it around and keep it fresh.

video;

[angelherding]

The only thing fresh about any of this is that you got your ass kicked by something you know nothing about.

Also, serious question: did he lick you because he was claiming you?

[collegedropout]

Just my pride, same as usual. Not that I have much of that to give.

[He smiles a little.]

Mostly just woozy. I think it's more from getting old than from the actual bite.

[H-haha, see, Nami. I told a funny. 3:^)]

video;

[collegedropout]

Pretty sure he was wondering how I tasted.

Which... I guess isn't new to me.

[oh ew he winces

his job occupation makes everything sound weird]

[namisan]

Uh huh. Switch video on.

[I'm having none of your humour until you prove you're okay, you big jerk.]

[collegedropout]

[.....

He switches his video on for a moment, giving a tired and nauseous albeit dopey smile.]

See? Looking great. Like Luffy whipped me twenty stories into the air.

video;

[angelherding]

Nope. And I'll pass on the easy joke.

Gonna take another go at him, or are you going to wait it out?

[video]

[bb_wolf]

I'll have a word to him about the biting. We covered it before, I'll make sure he gets it.

Come to me before you do anything drastic. Like throw him out the airlocks.

[namisan]

[Okay. Good. I mean you could be bleeding out off camera, but you look vaguely ill, not sheet white. The tension leaves the line of her shoulders somewhat, and after a moment she gives a sniff.]

Not sure you'd survive Luffy doing that, somehow. We'll call this better off.

You've never heard of sheol before, huh?

[save_the_souls]

[Great. He was wondering when the augment glitches would start to turn violent. Sigh.]

Thank you for letting us know. My ship will take proper precautions.

I don't suppose you got a sample of the venom from his teeth, did you?

[video]

[collegedropout]

A 'word' is clearly not that effective, if he's doing it after you covered it.

If he shoots for the murder olympics in the future, there may not be a choice. It's why we need him under supervision until his augment corrects itself. If that's the issue here, anyway. I'm pretty sure if I were in his shoes, I'd want someone looking out for me to make sure I don't hurt or kill my friends and crew.

[collegedropout]

[He shakes his head, even if he regrets doing that pretty much immediately after.]

I'm familiar with the wording. Not the fact that it's a creature. He, uh. He apparently has a real lust for human flesh... He told me he was biting you to see if you would taste good as a meal.
