[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~]

So's Twila a boy or a girl? I've been hearin' both here.

Spirits aren't really either in my experience. It is how we comprehend them. Your own personality will influence perception.

[voice, again]

[rashness]

You do you keep writing?

[voice, again]

[complicatedliar]

Because I am currently deaf and find that easier. And hope that others will get the hint so my little sister won't have to transcribe everything for me.

[ . . . ]

OK if you say so

[Several seconds later, in the worst penmanship ever]

[voice]

[selfhelp]

Yeah, he sounds like a guy to me. Maybe that's part of the appeal? It sounds however you'd want it to sound to connect with it better.

[voice]

[rashness]

What, so it's like some sort of shape-changing super spirit thing?

[voice]

[selfhelp]

More like gender-shifting I guess. Or it's just androgynous in general.

[voice]

[rashness]

So it might be a robot spirit?

[androidynous]

[voice]

[selfhelp]

What? That's so not what it means.

[voice]

[endgames]

It's not a girl, that's for sure.

[voice]

[breezing]

Why not?

[voice]

[endgames]

...just trust me on it. I know what I'm talking about.

[voice]

[breezing]

If you say so, then!

[ Apparently Shikamaru > Raine, although Raine > Billy. ]

[voice]

[endgames]

[Oh yeah. So long as he's up on the hierarchy.]

[voice]

[rashness]

It's not?

[voice]

[endgames]

After all the women I've had to be abused by, if there's anyone who's going to tell, it's me. It's not nagging me enough to be female.

[voice]

[rashness]

So it's sort of a girly guy, then?

[voice]

[endgames]

Oi, oi. Only the people not picked by it are spouting the girly pronouns, you know.

[voice]

[breezing]

Sifu Raine says it's a girl, so it's a girl!

[voice]

[rashness]

But everyone's been saying other stuff!

[voice]

[breezing]

Yeah, Shikamaru says it's a boy...so if that's the case, Twila must be a boy, then.

[ logic: shikamaru > raine > billy weight of belief. ]

[voice]

[rashness]

But you just said it was definitely a girl!

[voice]

[breezing]

Yeah, but Shikamaru says it's a boy!

... Honestly, I haven't heard the spirit myself, but it seems like those being possessed interpret it in different ways. In any case, it's not the problem here.
