[Locked to Residents]
Greetings, Luceti. I see you've managed to open the proverbial Pandora's Box. I was wondering when that would happen.
More seriously, however- no doubt most of you have noticed the widespread issue that's resulted from that decision. Some might even recall a similar experience occurring years ago. If you're concerned about the affected residents meeting their unfortunate ends once again, well, that's unlikely. Death wouldn't be a particularly beneficial alternative to what you've unleashed this time.
However, there's still the matter of sorting out the spirits now. I'm interested in hearing what you lot have already tried when it comes to dealing with what you've unlocked, but my advice for getting the black spirit to relinquish control is to let the rest do the work for you. Last time this happened, I was able to fix it, but it's beyond my power now.
Discuss it amongst yourselves, trade your theories; I'm sure you'll come up with something. I'll help with what I can. Sooner would be better, though- I make no promises that my former comrades won't take measures to deal with you if this isn't resolved internally within a few weeks.
[ooc: arright kids, true to John's word, he'll be overseeing the discussion. He won't be telling people how to fix this problem, but he'll answer whatever questions he can and give some advice here and there. see what you can work out amongst yourselves and feel free to ping me if I'm needed and don't show up. if nothing comes up within a week, we'll throw you a more obvious bone or two. tally ho~]

[ what do you even mean by that, Loki. ]
Re: [written]

1. That sounds like something I'm not allowed to do!
2. Although the monks did stuff like that too, with burning things, so I guess you could try it although I think asking is nicer!
3. Mirrors probably don't do stuff 'cause haven't lots of you already looked in mirrors?
[ She's fully distracted by this tangent, though.
...And is doodling some flowers around her list. This is productive. ]
Re: [written]
2. Asking is always nicer, particularly if you bring a gift of baked goods and alcohol.
3. I never look in the mirror, since I know I am always perfect.
[written]
2. So you think we should give the spirits presents???
3. Well I don't think mirrors do anything to the spirits anyway so!
4. Have you noticed anything? I only noticed that each person with the same color wings had the same spirit helping out.
Re: [written]
2. Everyone likes receiving presents, don't they?
3. I trapped a person in a mirror once.
4. I don't really know. Some people with large wings don't seem to be acting all that strangely. Perhaps they're trying to fool us.
[written]
2. Okay but how do we give spirits presents when they're in everyone else???
3. Why?
4. Also why cause I don't know how that would help anything!
Re: [written]
2. Of they're walking about wearing people as suits, then they'll enjoy eating and drinking.
3. He wasn't a very nice person. But I used a mirror because I could.
4. If you don't know who is friend or foe in this, it becomes much more difficult to know who to aim your efforts at. And I hear tell one of the spirits is a chaos spirit. So just for fun.
[written]
2. Are you just trying to get presents?
3. Did he do bad things?
4. Chaos isn't evil though is it?
Re: [written]
2. If I were, I wouldn't ask for food. I'd rather have books.
3. Yes.
4. You are a very bright human. Many think chaos is inherently evil, but it is pure change. Nature does not care if people are hurt. It simply IS. (I am a trickster, which is a sort of chaos god, did you know that?)
[written]
2. Well then I guess we should take the spirits to dinner and see if it helps?
3. That's okay then!
4. So I think trying to get along with the new spirit should be okay!! And I knew that but I don't remember who said that was it. Maybe the other Loki?
Re: [written]
2. It certainly couldn't hurt.
4. I imagine some of the other spirits will be unhappy about having to share their toys.
[written]
What toys? We're not toys!
Re: [written]
To gods and spirits, mortals often are toys.
[written]
I'd rather be their friend, really.

Re: [written]
And as you are my sister, you know that makes you a bit of a god yourself.
[written]
That makes me sound pretty interesting you know!
[ She's amused, anyway. ]
