[Video] [Locked to New Hires only] [TW for Punishment in the linked log.]
Stacia, Armstrong, I need to see both of you in person. On the double. Five minutes ago. Anyone else with a real good sense of smell, you come see me too.
[On the camera, underneath his oak tree in the garden, Bunny has a little bit of that dead-eyed stare that comes from being reminded how thoroughly shackled they all are to the most banal form of evil. Mostly, this is just businesslike, direct. Calmly urgent, after his furious meltdown in the Executive wing got him nowhere good.]
Everyone else: Sam and Dan and I tracked what attacked Tenten and Setsuna into the Executive wing. I smelled it there recently before the suits caught us and kicked us out.
[There's no real reason to bring up their Punishment. It happened, it hurt, he hates that he dragged Dan and Sam into it, but they all knew it was likely to happen. And if anything they learned can help prevent any further damage to the kids, it'll have absolutely been worth it.]
I couldn't identify the species, but it's supernatural, and old. Older than me. Some variety of predator. Given we tracked it into areas we're not allowed to go, and it spent a lot of time wandering around there all leisurely, it either looks enough like a suit that they gave it a pass, or it can walk through walls. If I had money, I'd put it on walking through walls. I'm not ruling out both, though.
But don't worry. Jorgmund's bringing in - [he scoffs, and rolls his eyes hugely] dogs to finish tracking it.
I'm still racking my brains to see if any memory of what it could be falls out, but if any of that rings any bells for all you, I'm all ears.

Me, I try not to get on anybody's bad side, neither. It's jus' dat I got a talent for it.
[He produces a deck of cards from...somewhere. One moment his hands are free, the next, he's shuffling a deck.]
Least dis place was kin' 'nough to leave me wit' de powers I came wit'. Be a mite more trouble if I really had to t'ink 'bout 'em. But knowin' what people can do would be a good idea. Jus' for everyone's safety.
no subject
Yeah, it would. By the way, another feature of this thing on my neck is that it attracts the demons to me. So if I can sense her comin', then she'll probably be able to tell where I am.
no subject
[Dan's face lights up at the cards, and he pulls out his own pack, which he's been using for games with Beckett.] And I reckon I should invite both of you to poker nights at the library. Me and Beckett have got a good thing going. Just drop by any time after ten and B.Y.O.B. if you want it.
[He has another muscle spasm again, as if his own body is reminding him to stay on topic. He gets serious again as he looks at Guts.] That seems like a bit of a double-edged sword. My condolences.
no subject
[Besides, Rogue already knew. That's what's important to him.]
[He grins widely as Dan produces his own cards.] Poker night, huh? Been a while since I've played a frien'ly game. [Friendly being the key. He's less cut-throat if it's friendly.]
[He turns his head to look at Guts' mark with a frown and a...strange flash behind his glasses.] Dat don' seem de bes' t'ing to be havin' right now. Though, if we ever need t' be doin' de whole bait t'ing? You might be de best one to be takin' de lead dere.
no subject
[Guts’ voice is sharp, annoyed with the sudden change in topic from both of them. He fixes on Dan with a bit more grave intensity. ]
I didn’t tell you because I wanted pity - it’s a warning so you aren’t blindsided.
[ He looks away, mouth creased with distaste. He can’t be too harsh - Dan was the one who was actually hurt here.]
Remy’s right. If it works the way it’s supposed to, then we ought to get that in order and figure out what our attack’s gonna be. Right now, it feels like we’re just grasping at the dark.
[and well, maybe he was just feeling a bit more tense than usual]
no subject
Are you suggesting we try to do a bait thing without consulting the others? I can't imagine they'd take kindly.
no subject
[His own life, Remy's fully willing to gamble with. Other people's lives? He's more likely to fall on the side of caution.]
[He shuffles the deck to have something to do with his hands.]
But. I gotta admit, I ain't much of one for sittin' on my hands, neither. Feels like we're jus' waitin' on dis t'ing to come after us 'gain.
no subject
[He might hunt this thing down on his own if he had his gear, but alas, he does not.]
If we go with that plan, I don't want that chance to kill to be wasted. Goin' off to sniff out more information was a good start.
[he can give compliments too!]
no subject
[He folds his arms and leans against the railing again.]
Anyone want to come with me and see if we can get any information out of the brass? They ain't cooperative and I'm thinking I'm on thin ice with them, but maybe they'll have some sort of...record or log of all the people legally on this thing.
no subject
Wouldn' min' tryin' to do somet'in'. Talkin' works jus' as well as anyt'in' else. An' if we can mebbe get somet'in' outta de brass? All de better.
no subject
[Apparently, being huge and menacing doesn't get you very far with Jorgmund suits. The minor shocks barely register to him at this point.]
Sorry. They grate my nerves.

[His smile turns to a concerned frown, though, turning to look at Dan with...what's probably worry or at least checking on him. It's difficult to tell without being able to see his eyes.]
Folks like dem? Dey get like dat 'cause dey don' have control over what's happenin' to dem. Dey don' have any power to change it. So dey take control over ot'ers, 'cause it's easier dan leavin' off an' takin' back deir own control.
