[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~]

If it is a spirit of chaos and darkness it may be evil.

[Well, that's what it would be if this were a story.]
breezing: (= uh.)

[personal profile] breezing 2013-06-01 10:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Wait, so she's definitely evil??
blessingone: (now rumour has it)

[written]

[personal profile] blessingone 2013-06-01 10:25 pm (UTC)(link)



Maybe? She is possessing people, after all.
breezing: (- I'M SUSPICIOUS.)

[written]

[personal profile] breezing 2013-06-01 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, but so is everyone else. And this happened before without her doing it, right? So the other spirits have possessed people too, even when it wasn't because of Twila. Does that make ALL the spirits evil?????
blessingone: (always thought that this could never be)

[Good question, kid. Hmm.]

It says the last time was an "unplanned worldwide shift," in the guide. I do not know about this time.
breezing: (= considering this.)

[personal profile] breezing 2013-06-01 10:36 pm (UTC)(link)
What does that even mean!

Maybe we should figure out who has who in them and see if we can I dunno TALK about this. Since I don't think any of us have magic boxes on hand, although I could be wrong cause I don't know what everyone else has on hand but that just seems like a weird thing to keep around!

[Okay, basing on what Raine has said above:] It is something like what the Malnosso do to us, only it happened everywhere. And it was accidental? I think they happen outside the barrier for no reason sometimes, but that time it happened in here, too. I was not here then, though.

We are kind of talking about it, although I do not know if it matters who has who in them.

I guess it doesn't, really. What matters is helping everyone be themselves again, right?
blessingone: (we've been sitting here for hours)

[written]

[personal profile] blessingone 2013-06-01 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes. Though it may help to know who has been possessed by Twila if that is the main issue.

I am so very bored with the misapprehension that chaos equates with evil that I may expire from it.
wise_maiden: (but we give up easily)

[personal profile] wise_maiden 2013-06-01 10:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Evil certainly wasn't in my interpretation. The world isn't black and white, although the tension between light and shadow is rather... present.
breezing: (+ :D shadowed.)

It looks like lots of them are kinda on the outs though!

[personal profile] complicatedliar 2013-06-01 10:51 pm (UTC)(link)
I am glad to hear that. Many others have not been nearly so rigorous in their thinking.

Chaos, like light, dark, order, fire, etc. are all part of nature. They are neither by their existence good or evil. They simply are.
breezing: (& jinora: floaty smile.)

[personal profile] breezing 2013-06-01 10:59 pm (UTC)(link)
You want to help make the spirits happy again, too, though, right?

So I don't think you should worry about chaos or evil or whatever, because that's neither of those things!

[personal profile] complicatedliar 2013-06-01 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
I daresay at least one of the spirits is reasonably happy as is, no longer being trapped in a dank lockbox.
breezing: (- YOU'RE WEIRD.)

[written]

[personal profile] breezing 2013-06-01 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't want to lock her up again! But I think we should probably get all the spirits to calm down and get out of people on account of apparently it caused people to DIE last time and Mr. John said it wouldn't be good against what we did this time but you know thinking about what he said I wouldn't say it's actually COMFORTING so much as SORT OF OMINOUS.
wise_maiden: (and feelings alike)

If the spirits could find a way to make some sort of peace, or compromise amongst themselves ...

[personal profile] complicatedliar 2013-06-01 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
There are all manner of stories about agents of order binding up chaos, since chaos does like making a mess of things. I don't expect much cooperation from spirits that will suddenly be called upon to share their toys.
wise_maiden: (drifting along into far off thought)

[written]

[personal profile] wise_maiden 2013-06-01 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
That isn't the attitude to take toward this either, Loki. We need compromise from all sides in order to make this work.

A world without chaos would be quite out of balance, actually.

Yeah, but we don't want to lock her up, that's just rude!

I'm glad that you think so, Ikki.

I find the notion... upsetting.
blessingone: (does the world revolve the same)

[personal profile] blessingone 2013-06-01 11:31 pm (UTC)(link)
I said "may."

[Though when you have chaos and darkness and locked up and possessing people, it's hard for her to suspect otherwise. But she isn't going to argue the point since most of her reasoning is based on fictional stories.]

[...Yeah, Fenimore doesn't need Faeren's added tendency towards timidity to decide to back away from a conversation with someone who is so pro-chaos and uses the word mortal in such a way as to possibly not refer to himself. Sorry, Loki, she's abandoning this line of conversation.]
