tea time

FORM: Crystal
SENDER: Byerly
RECIPIENT: Everyone
NOTES: By is actually trying to be helpful and is not just here for the drama. No comment on my own priorities.

It seems prudent, given the current situation, for us to publicly identify those who have been acting out of character. I can understand a desire for secrecy, to take any imposters by surprise, but the risk of one of our own being caught unawares seems much greater.

Who has been strange of late? And when did this change in behavior start?

[biggame]

Herb seems like he's figuring out how people behave as he goes. No idea when that started.

[tadpoled]

I have.

[tadpoled]

I know how to deal with people.

I’m also just weird.

[thereneverwas]

Not quite the time for that, mate, unless you're admitting to being a demon.

[tadpoled]

No demon. But strange behavior nonetheless.

[thereneverwas]

...all right?

[tadpoled]

Is this not a confessional?

[thereneverwas]

We're-- no--??

[tadpoled]

No—??

[Color him confused.]

[thereneverwas]

[very patiently and clearly,]

We're looking for demons, mate. Demons impersonating members of our company.

[tadpoled]

[Well Tav can’t even fully deny that. Is his former self a demon of sorts? The Bhaalspawn is a murderer in every form of the word, but does that make him a demon?]

Oh. Well no one’s impersonating me.

[Who would want to?]

[thereneverwas]

Great.

[biggame]

Whatever you say.

[favoriteanalyst]

Yeah, you want everyone to open air start pointing fingers at each other for everyone to hear? I don't envision a scenario where that ends well.

[extortionate]

Demon would say that.

[extortionate]

Seen Abby doing these - stretches? Weird poses. Unnatural.

[thereneverwas]

Cat's already out of the bag, innit? Any impersonators have likely already gone to ground.

[armd]

What?? Oh, that's —

Yoga. I was doing yoga, demons don't do yoga.

[extortionate]

Dunno mate. Your bag, your cats. How much're they like people?

[thereneverwas]

[a long, contemplative pause: then,]

Think Lazar's all right.

[extortionate]

Well I never heard of it.

[armd]

It's a rifter thing. If I were being possessed, how would the demon know that? They're not from my world.

[extortionate]

We should get another Rifter to verify.

[armd]

(Loudly,) Another rifter, get in here.

[heirring]

It's true. They do it with goats.
