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.

Could be.

[ a strange loud crack, a scuffle of feet, a sharp inhale ]

You said he was acting strangely. Think on when, and where he was just before. Opportunities to take him.

[bouchonne]

Maker - Shit. Don't -

[ Is she fighting the thing right now? And also talking to him?

Well - If she thinks she can balance those two duties, then far be it for him to tell her otherwise. ]

I noticed it first when we were at Halamshiral. But we had not been speaking so frequently as we had when we were working together.

[ She is trying to make sure that on the off chance this thing beats all three of them, people are prepared! If doing it this way slightly increases the chance of dying, well. This is hardly the time for critique. They're almost done anyway. ]

Talk to others who'd notice and know his movements. We won't be getting any more from this thing, so must narrow the timeline. Check his closet.

[bouchonne]

[ A hesitation - ]

Yes. I'll report back.
