[Locked to Residents]

[malnosso]

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~]

I always wonder why I can't hear them... at least in a way that's really talky.

But... huh. Careful listening? I wonder if meditating can help.

... This is Daisy. That's how I contacted the spirits and formed my bond with Kipinn.

[And right now needs an exorcist.]

Spartans meditate a lot, and while magic doesn't exist where I'm from... it made it easier for me to bond with him.

[savedtheworld]

Hi Daisy! I'm Aang. We air nomads do lots of meditation, too. I wound up not needing it when I made my bond with Kipinn, but maybe that'll make it easier to get close to him! We've got to figure out what they want.

[She comes to recall him. One of the people during the aftermath of the operation with the droids -- of the rogue Malnosso's failure to take Ikki for a draft.]

I remember an affinity towards an element made it easier, including where to hear them.

If the spirits tried to take us so Twila wouldn't, maybe if the possessed ones were in the same location as where the spirits could usually be found, then they could take over.

I'd say meditation could help, but... that would be harder than getting the possessed ones close to the spirits' elements.

[She was that person who didn't want to be thanked, didn't she. Kipinn's influence made it easy for Aang to overlook such details. Either way, he listens intently.]

You think so? Maybe that'd work. Then again, I've flown over most of the enclosure this week and had a blast, and I think I covered most of Kipinn's spots without anything special happening. But I never did stay in one place and focus. That might've helped.

[daisy023]

[She smiles from her side of things. Kipinn's influence.]

Kipinn and I are sharing a body right now, and I did just that, too. I think he wants things to stay as they are, to prevent Twila from taking control. I haven't been able to use any other magic... not that it's a bad thing.

I can't be sure, though. I'd need to know of cases where the normal spirits got to remove Twila's hold.

[savedtheworld]

That makes sense. I mean, if everyone just kept having fun like Kipinn, we wouldn't really need to worry about anything.

...Has that ever happened? I wonder if we could help make that effect happen in anyone who has Twila.

[daisy023]

I'm not sure. The spirits did this as a preventive measure. Kipinn... doesn't want Twila in. He took me while I was sleeping.

Maybe it needs something that makes Twila lose or soften her hold...
