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.

I suppose we may as well. We still have to slip past the quarantine.

[dothelokimotion]

[ ah. loki pauses before grinning. ]

We'll need disguises.

[unkindled_madness]

[Sephiroth arches an eyebrow at that expression.]

You have something particular in mind?

[dothelokimotion]

I always have ideas.

But I'm curious to see what you might come up with.

[unkindled_madness]

Well, I think it's best if we're inconspicuous. Shorter and more... average-looking.

[That's not very exciting, surely?]

[dothelokimotion]

No other preferences?

What about your role?

[unkindled_madness]

What do you mean?

[dothelokimotion]

If we get questioned, we need some kind of story in place. Something that will convince them of our legitimacy.

[unkindled_madness]

And, you want to do something different from before?

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki waves this off. ]

We can do another if you want.

[unkindled_madness]

It sounds like you're the one who wants to make it exciting.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki shrugs, unrepentant. ]

I just like having a little mischief along the way.

[unkindled_madness]

I'm not against it. I just don't know what you have in mind.

[dothelokimotion]

Who says I have something in mind?

[unkindled_madness]

Your expression.

[dothelokimotion]

This is my usual expression!

[unkindled_madness]

[Sephiroth just. Looks at him. He's not going to bother refuting that.]

...you can just tell me.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki huffs. ]

Fine, fine. I thought it might be funny to play a couple.

[unkindled_madness]

...is that not, essentially, what we are?

[dothelokimotion]

Yes, but we'd be playing it up.

[unkindled_madness]

[He's not sure how this qualifies as sneaking but okay.]

So we are... two members of the Society on assignment together, perhaps because we've arranged it that way?

[dothelokimotion]

[ shh. ]

That would work.

[unkindled_madness]

All right then.

Shall we?

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki smiles as he raises stormbreaker over them to send them to central. ]
