just so you know, in case you haven't figured it out already: try not to sell parts of you without asking what it's going to be used for first

because sometimes those parts get used to brew up shitty mist that turns half the city feral or gives them new parts they don't need

the coven's got one of the bitches that started that mess now, but she wasn't working alone, so i sure fucking hope someone else found them

[ ooc: a very belated wrap-up of sorts for the mist investigation, at least on team lambert/nyskie/steak/rw's end! ]

Did they specify exactly what kind of parts were involved?

[whattaprick]

pretty much every part you can imagine

lots of witch blood, too

ALL OF MY SKIN FELL OFF

[whattaprick]

[ TMI, Alphys, have you heard of it? ]

gross

so did it grow back?

[unsundered]

Why in the world would someone sell parts of themselves off...? Though I don't think asking first would have changed much; the unscrupulous would lie, and the credulous would believe them.

Honestly, they deserve whatever happens. 'Tis only a pity they dragged the rest of us into their error.

[whattaprick]

losing a feather or two wouldn't hurt a harpy, and there's spells that use that sort of shit

though maybe the bigger problem's the ones who sell parts of other people

wait what

[whattaprick]

do you have trouble reading long words

[hippocarnival]

is that what happened

why did doing that seem like a good idea???

[whattaprick]

why fuck the city over?

she had a grudge

[niespodzianka]

Wonderful

[ Geraltese for 'good job', maybe also 'I still regret not killing more of these people'. ]

[whattaprick]

[ Words are cheap, dinner is better. Also-- ]

finally got out of bed, huh?

My team partners and I have found a male witch who was also involved in the mist creation. We handed him over to the Coven now, but knowing there was more than one perpetrator worries me.

[whattaprick]

[ ugh, Lambert's not gonna call it 'team partners' because that's dorky as hell, but-- ]

yeah? guess he can keep the other one company.

where'd you find him?

[interlucere]

[ Thanks, she hates this. ]

Unfortunately, I doubt we will hear either way, unless they intend on telling us directly.

[whattaprick]

well, that's fucking terrific

[firewalled]

wait wait wait what the fuck?
so you're telling me some lady in the market used our parts to fuck with us?
why the hell was she doing that?

[whattaprick]

some witch from dorchact rounded her and a couple of others up, wanted to tear the city down

this one wanted to show aefenglom how bad monsters can get

seems like the other two just got played for suckers, though

Who'd have thought buying and selling people and body parts was a bad idea.

[whattaprick]

you'd think that would be obvious, right?

text; undertown

[weirdnecro]

Bet there's at least four, one for each direction

So question is, overall goal

Could be trying to get the refugees to "come home" or to make us look bad or...you know, spite and pettiness

[Thanks Dorries, she hates you too.]

[whattaprick]

said something about wanting to tear the city down, make aefenglom more like dorchact

you know, all the usual shit people say

don't know how long the dorchacht bitch that sold them on this crap was in aefenglom or if shes even still around though

text. un: gioia.

[trouvaille]

God, to live in a world where "don't sell your bodyparts" isn't something people have to be told.

( also she is smugly vindicated in her suspicions about the buying and selling of any parts. )

[whattaprick]

it's not like they're only used for making shitty-ass potions that have everyone growing all kinds of body parts

but it's still a pretty fucking bad idea

[horkbajir]

This is where the commodification of bodies leads I suppose. I never liked the idea, but all I thought of was blood and other parts being forcibly removed. Perhaps the farming of captives.

[whattaprick]

yeah, well

world always finds more ways to be fucked up than you think it is

[manlet]

[Andersen's passive-aggressive roommate just read this post out loud to shame him. He swallows all his irritation down before responding.]

How many collaborators were there?

[whattaprick]

five in all

four from aefenglom, and one from dorchacht who started it all

seems like the one we got was the only one who knew what she was getting into, but i don't know where they're at now

[spaghettimonster]

IS THAT WHAT ALL THOSE PEOPLE WANTED MY BONES FOR? OH MY GOD!!

GOOD THING TOBY SCARED ME STRAIGHT... THE THOUGHT OF THAT EASY MONEY WAS TEMPTING AT TIMES.

[whattaprick]

can't say for sure, but

don't you kind of need your bones to get around?

[judgementor]

A very succinct summary.

text;

[whattaprick]

figured i'd keep it short and sweet

nobody's got to read any longwinded crap

[darkcharge]

I think that common sense would have told anyone not to TRUST the people here.

So really the only people they have to blame are themselves.

[whattaprick]

common sense's never as common as you'd think

[wordsinthesoul]

[…well. Wonderful. Not good news, though at least there's an answer.]

So that was the cause of it all. It's good to have some resolution to that.

Is there any words on what steps might be taking to prevent this? Beyond us all being careful, naturally.

[He's probably gonna need to have a few words.]

[whattaprick]

the coven said they'd look into breaking up the places selling the worst of it, but i don't know if they'll actually make good on it

seems like they've got their hands full
