[video, un: billy & un: clary] open to stars & moon

- does this really go out to everyone? Okay. Anyways, hey, I'm Billy.

Sure does! ( Helpful, Clary! She turns to the video feed properly, giving a not-very-cool-at-all half wave. ) And I'm Clary. I know I've talked to some of you before, especially about the branded and what they're up to. And... there's seriously no good way to say this, but we have some updates on that.

They were involved in the attack last month, and probably the famine, too. At least, the monster that killed me had that same brand. [ And the whole 'it killed me' business is as good of a segue as any to the topic of Death itself. ]

I was brought back by Death. It told me that the branded had something to do with Temperance. Death used to have her soul, but it was stolen a few months ago.


Which is probably around when the branded started showing up during harvest. ( The takeover between them is smoother than it has any right to be; an easy back and forth as the information is shared. ) As some of you know, a few of us got blank tarot cards from a guy named Vuzor after he said 'balance comes for us all'. Well- ( Clary holds up her tarot card. Temperance is displayed across the front in all its glory with gold writing over it saying TEMPERANCE RETURNS. ) Temperance stands for balance, usually. Keeping it. Which is sort of the theme that the branded have been running with. ( As though needing another ominous piece, Clary turns the card around to the back where a countdown is happening. ) And now we might have a deadline.

Death says we need to prepare ourselves and from the sound of things, it was dead serious. [ Okay, he covers his mouth to stifle a laugh. He didn't mean to make a death pun, really. This is very important information. ] So we've got less than a month to get our shit together, find out what we can, and either try to stop this from happening or get ready to face something that makes everything else we've fought so far look easy.

So if you know anything, or find anything, you better cough it up. [ He stands with his fists clenched like he's about to steal everyone's lunch money, before he clears his throat and his stance relaxes a little. Maybe threats weren't the best way to go about this. He's still getting used to being nice. ] I mean, shit, this doesn't sound like something any of us can face on our own, so it'll be better if we work together.


( And Clary has to turn away from the screen to hide her dumb smile at the bad joke, gaining her composure back in time for Billy to finish. ) Which we've all been doing a lot already, so we should be getting pretty good at it! But like Billy said, if you know anything we haven't mentioned, or find anything out, please let everyone know.

( With that, Clary will reach forward in order to turn the video feed off. )

[wow this is definitely a lot of information. not just with the tarot card but also death's involvement in this now too, none of which sounds good at all]

Seems like we all got the same message with that tarot card but it's good that we have a warning this time around though to be prepared. [maybe they won't be so caught off guard this time?? hopefully. but even so it's less than three weeks which isn't that far off. she knows from experience that sometimes even having time to prepare can sometimes never be enough but clarke is nothing if not determined to at least try]

I take it that Death didn't mention much else about how Temperance's soul was stolen from him or how that even is possible?

[personal profile] romancekiller 2019-11-06 06:16 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I wouldn't have thought something like that was possible either.

I guess that's the part we have to figure out too because if they were capable of stealing from Death then it seems like we're looking for someone even more powerful. [the question is who though? maybe another god? she is so out of her element with this that he doesn't know who that could possibly be. ]
romancekiller: (Default)

[personal profile] romancekiller 2019-11-08 07:08 am (UTC)(link)
Both of which we barely know anything about as it is. [which is very frustrating but it just means more research needs to be done and fast enough to even be prepared and stand a chance against either]

I was just thinking that too though— that maybe both could be involved with this by the time the countdown is up. [and of course yet another unknown they have to deal with]

if there's no more cult, can she still be brought back?

( OH YES SOMEONE NOT IMMEDIATELY AGAINST IT )

i wish it were that easy, i've seen people saying tracking isn't so simple. but if we could, it's a thought at least.

[personal profile] darkined 2019-11-04 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)
no doubt of that. i just thinking finding the people to take out is probably the difficult part.
darkined: DNT. (029. ❚)

[personal profile] darkined 2019-11-06 03:44 pm (UTC)(link)
we don't really have a lot of time to try both options, either. and one is more guaranteed to be successful at at least neutralizing the cult.

[personal profile] darkined 2019-11-06 04:43 pm (UTC)(link)
agreed. i'm not particularly of the mind to deal with a god in full power.
people are easy, though.

can you fight?

[personal profile] darkined 2019-11-06 04:48 pm (UTC)(link)
( o, blessed mother )

at least it's not nothing.
though you should probably look into training some time.


i don't know if we'll get much opportunity to fight, anyway. but it'd be good to know there's someone else willing to fight with me if it comes to it.

Dead serious, eh?

[Because that's the important thing to take away from this.]

But really, you're saying that this has something to do with blah blah souls and big scary people clashing? If the branded didn't strike first, I'd say that we don't have anything to do with this, but, well. You know.

A better question, though, is how on Earth are we supposed to do anything with any of the information we have? It's not like we can just run around and track down a missing soul or something, unless one of us has the ability to do that and is holding out on the rest of us.

I mean, we're probably fucked either way. Might as well go down swinging.

What's the phrase though, 'third time's a charm'?

That's the spirit.

You met the big guy themselves though? Sounds like you got something special there. Well, special in that it came with the whole dying thing first, but hey. Who all here can say that they've died? Wear it proud.

That as in-depth as they got with a warning?

[ Not like he expects much more, but it's sort of...

How do they get to their shit together. In what direction? ]


I can try to check the Stars library for shit on it, but who knows if there's anything there.

[personal profile] comburst 2019-11-06 08:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe, anyway. The library seems to have been censored.
