FORM: Crystal
SENDER: Yseult
RECIPIENT: All members of Riftwatch
NOTES: Branching off of this scene. Note that despite the IC call for assistance we OOCly don't actually need to add any more people to that thread, the three of them will deal with the demon themselves before anybody else can get there. We just needed an excuse to make an all hands post asap.

Riftwatch, there is a demon in the Gallows masquerading as Benedict Artemaeus. He has been cornered in the fifth floor workroom. Assistance would be appreciated.

[ Yseult almost always sounds brisk on the crystals; today her speech is quicker and more clipped than ever. ]

Until we know more and can confirm there are no other imposters among the company, be on your guard. Report any unusual activity immediately.

Alström.

[ Should he test her back? Is that how this works? It seems counter to a disguised demon’s interest to announce their presence—unless, aware their fellow was about to be discovered anyway, it’s an attempt to get ahead of it and appear above reproach.

He’s thinking. And in the background, the sounds of him gathering up things to return to the Gallows, including a change of shirt and underclothes in case this goes on that long. ]

[ That's a relief. ] Make sure of Byerly.

[cozen]

I am.

We'll be there shortly.

[ And he'll see how he feels about testing her then, when he can see her face. ]
