malnosso | [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~]

Death isn't beneficial, but is it an alternative?

That's the most creepy part, Uncle Sokka!!!!

Also you guys aren't allowed to die so that option doesn't MATTER.

It is never an alternative.

It's an alternative we use all the time on drafts. Right now, they look like cultists. What if they start acting the part too?

YOU have big wings, too. And Grandpa, and Korra, and Uncle Zuko, and Chouji, and Loki, and Sifu Raine, and Trafalgar, and Kushina, and Minato, and LOTS OF PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT ALLOWED TO DIE.

So we're only allowed to pick an option WITHOUT death.

[...Wow, that's cold. She is not exactly happy to be seeing Sokka say it, but since she is trying to stay anonymous and other people seem to be taking up the whole "nope nope nope" option for her. So, instead, taking extra care to print as generically as she can, she notes:]

They would be back in a week.

Exactly. It's not permanent. If it gets rid of Twila, then don't you think the Malnosso will end up considering the same thing? Only they might not bother distinguishing Twila from the rest of us.

Why would it get rid of Twila? If she is not put in another box, she will still be here when they get back.

But Mr. John said that people who were other spirits died last time. What if all of you die, too????

A temporary one at best, if the problem persists. If one were to return to life while the conflict between spirits is still existing, there is technically nothing preventing another possession from occurring.

Let's just say you should aim to find a Plan A before resorting to Plan B.

But it is a plan B.

One I'd prefer happening to me, so if anyone figures out how to get the spirits to go away? I'm in.

[And she's in (but won't openly volunteer it, not right now) for if killing people becomes necessary. Things happen.]
