002 | Video
Name: Rich Goranski
Date: Backdated to Oct 14
Format: Video for initial post; various in comments
[Without so much as an introduction, a video plays. It's a little shaky with the recorder's nerves, and occasionally, a long talon partly covers the view of the scene, but it still shows what it needs to quite clearly.
Eventually, even with the struggle still continuing, the camera is turned away from the action, towards Rich. He has to hope what he just got will be enough to get the Coven to actually believe him this time, but right now, he doesn't have time to wait around. Direct action is needed, so he pings the friends he trusted: Michael Mell, Myr, and Niles. The message is still sent to everyone, however, so everyone can view the video and the panic in Rich's eyes when the camera is turned back to him.]
The SQUIP has lost it. It's going full villain again and I need back up. Meet me near the inn, I think it's trying to take Heere there.
[Without an explanation of what entails the SQUIP going full villain or who 'Heere' may be, he continues.]
Everyone else, please stay safe and-[He's cut off by something happening off screen, which makes him swear and stuff his watch into his pocket. There's about a minute more of muffled yelling and darkness before the recording eventually ends.]
~*~
[Hours later, there's another video tacked on to the earlier one, once the mist has finally started to fade away. Rich is back inside, his changes from before calming down enough that he isn't at risk of burning down Justine's whole cottage. He looks tired and worn, a few nasty scrapes on his face, but... there is a sort of relief in his expression, some sort of certainty that, no matter what happens next, he did what was right.]
Hey everyone. Sorry about that... I know I promised to be less of a downer the next time I posted on here, but... shit happens.
I'm just letting everyone know the SQUIP is knocked out. It had been using magic to charm and mind control several people, including someone I was bonded to, Justine, and a friend from home, Jeremy Heere.
Two of the people it was Bonded with, Linden Tailor and Connor, are also unconscious... guess some sort of trauma went through the connection when we stopped it. Since it was actively using mind control magic, I used Mountain Dew Red to deactivate... the part of it that was still a supercomputer, I guess. It should recover fine, and while it's passed out, I'm going to bring the recording to the Coven so they can see I wasn't lying when I told them what it did in my world.
If any of you were being controlled by it, let me know. It got to quite a few people when I saw it, but its powers should have worn off by now. It can be... a little traumatic, though, so my door's open if you wanna talk. Hopefully now that the SQUIP was... de-SQUIPped, somehow, this shouldn't happen again.
[With another tired wave, Rich signs off. He'd love to stay and chat but... he's pretty sure his roommates are still going to need a little more help in the fallout.]
((Everyone is free to respond! Rich will respond when he's done dealing with his roomies, who are likely either a) dealing with mind control withdrawal or b) having panic attacks over the SQUIP. Other players on Team Anti-Bastard Computer Man will also be responding a few hours after the events of the battle, providing information on what went down and vouching that yes, Shit Was Bad.))

Rich has had a hard time.
no subject
but i aint gonna pretend its totally fine he apparently killed half of someones mind. if i got the wrong idea, i'll take corrections, but this dont feel right to me.
no subject
All Rich did was turn off the machine. It is still alive.
[Though as one of those controlled by SQUIP, Justine isn't sure how she feels about that.]
You can have your opinions about it but it's done.
So please keep them to yourself. Rich doesn't need this.
no subject
what, are you his mom here? rich can decide what he does or doesn't need.
no subject
[Or that's what Justine thinks.]
I am not his mom but I am his friend. I care about him. [She's also nearly the same age as Rich and has made out with him on at least occasion, it'd be awkward to be his mom.]
no subject
he said hed talk to the coven because it was learning mind control magic but instead if guess he decided to go full vigilante
no subject
You aren't trying to understand. You're making assumptions with partial information.
no subject
and ive seen what its like when someone has their mind fucked with. back home itd happen all the time. people out laying in the streets, walking in front of trains and shit because part of their minds got shut off. hundreds of em dying of thirst in gutters or splayed on the sidewlak.
yeah see if you scroll up youre gonna see where i told you i'd take corrections because i might not have all the info.
no subject
If you really know what it's like.
Stop attacking.
There's been enough fighting. Please.
no subject
look no one was talking to you so how about you butt out
