Notes: Posted to the Fantastic Sucks sub-board following the attack on Alliance HQ and Fantastic's announcement.

You may have seen Fantastic's announcement regarding the individual known as "The Fixer." I now believe it necessary to share some clarifications.

Parts of his statement are true. The Fixer has employed brainwashing which leaves his victims with gaps in their memories. They experience missing time during which they cannot account for their actions or location, and may have unexplained injuries.

Based on my experiences, the mental programming was put in place in October, but not activated until late April. I believe he may have taken advantage of the similar symptoms of the parasitic infections to disguise the effects. While he has been active in Central City and Sunset Falls, he appears to have been operating out of Excelsior.

Other affected individuals may be able to provide more information. Personally-identifying information is best shared in person.

It is possible to remove the Fixer's brainwashing. However, I don't believe my method would work for others.

Fantastic's claims that he is either investigating or seeking to apprehend the Fixer are... suspect. The Fixer is not working alone. He employed others in his initial assault, and he has something capable of temporarily nullifying powers, which seems rather significant for a lone individual with "no known powers."

Naturally I have no interest in bringing anything to the Alliance leadership.

You can be quite persuasive.

...but I think you would like more people to trust you.

[dothelokimotion]

[ he falls quiet. it would be nice to introduce yourself and not have someone assume the worst. or talk to someone without having to consider the fact that it's one-sided.

he shrugs loosely. ]

I'm not getting my hopes up.

[unkindled_madness]

You don't have to dismiss the possibility either.

[dothelokimotion]

Perhaps.

[ but that's probably as much as he's willing to say. his experience on the islands and here have told him it's not worth it. ]

[unkindled_madness]

Well. I'll believe in it.

[Should he... introduce Loki to people? How does this work.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ he laughs softly, pressing a kiss to his cheek. ]

I know.

[unkindled_madness]

I do count as proof of my theory.

[dothelokimotion]

That's fair, I suppose, but I'll point out that you need more than one person for a theory to stand.

[unkindled_madness]

Is that so? Do you think me nothing but an anomaly?

[dothelokimotion]

Hmm. I think of you as . . . exceptional.

[unkindled_madness]

[His expression softens.]

I suppose that has some accuracy.

[dothelokimotion]

Just some?

[unkindled_madness]

You are biased.

[dothelokimotion]

But also correct.

[unkindled_madness]

You're so certain?

[dothelokimotion]

Mm.

[ he drapes himself over sephiroth's shoulders. ]

With my life.

[unkindled_madness]

[He reaches up to hold one of Loki's arms.]

...hmm. Well, if I am exceptional then my theories must also be.

[dothelokimotion]

An exceptional person would have rock-solid theories, I suppose.

[unkindled_madness]

There you have it, then.

[dothelokimotion]

Hmm. Even so, I think I'll wait for a larger sample.

[unkindled_madness]

There will be one.

[He glances at his phone again.]

...for now, it seems we may be wanted back in Central.

[dothelokimotion]

All right then. I'll get us ready.

[unkindled_madness]

[Sephiroth blinks at how immediately he's game.]

I suppose any others who turn up are likely to be there as well.

[dothelokimotion]

Others like what happened to you?

[unkindled_madness]

Yes. It seems this person is one.
