Does anyone here have experience with demons? Or exorcisms?

I have a feeling that we might need a priest soon. Or an army of them.

What is going on?

[He has decidedly no experience in any of those things, but. What the fuck.]

[makeanentrance]

I just think there's something going on. Something bad.

Something I don't want to go through again.

[doctopoda]

Ah.
Yes, it is like that there. I avoid the place when I can.

[makeanentrance]

I live there.

It didn't seem so bad before. Just recently it's felt more... I'm not even sure what the word is. Ominous, somehow.

Maybe I should move.

[doctopoda]

If it makes you feel any better, Excelsior is also getting worse.
I've been thinking about a move myself.

[makeanentrance]

Worse in what way?

[doctopoda]

Anti-meta sentiment, anti-A.I. sentiment, anti-mechanical prosthetics sentiment. Take your pick.

You could choose any quality of mine and someone's probably outside protesting it right now.

[makeanentrance]

You do kind of stand out. Maybe I could help you with that.

[doctopoda]

How so?

[makeanentrance]

There are ways to disguise those parts of you.

[doctopoda]

Yes, a friend of mine is working on some sort of magical illusion-based approach.
In between all of the apocalypses, of course.

What did you have in mind?

[He's pretty sure Beck doesn't actually use real magic, but he's certainly open to multiple options - really, it's better not to rely too strongly on any one thing.]

[makeanentrance]

Who's helping?

Well, there may be ways to cover or strap things down. I'd have to take a closer look though.

[His illusions are indeed more practical without actual magic.]

[doctopoda]

Balthier - do you know him?

I don't mind trying some other approaches. I have been able to conceal them under a trenchcoat before, but only for short periods of time. It really wasn't that subtle.
I think it mostly worked because I wasn't publicly known then.

[You can get away with weird stuff like that in New York, when you aren't yet a notorious criminal.]

[makeanentrance]

No, I don't know him. Maybe we should talk.

And we can try some things when there's less other trouble to deal with.
