folklorist | ϡ - Chapter Nine; Taking Action [voice/action]

[ For anyone in Community Housing Seven you'll be glad to know Helios has now erected a fully functioning barrier around it. The Tease in the vicinity will only be greeted with getting knocked back from barriers bluish electrified blast, either destroying them completely or just simply knocking them back a few feet and stunning them. So it's like a giant bug zapper...yeah.

Helios himself will be outside of the housing complex, his right arm crudely bandaged, because it's bleeding quite a bit, though not to worry it's all self inflicted. ~~And no he's not emo, okay.~~ His left hand is covered in freshly drawn blood as he's kneeling down on the ground to finish up a circular seal. He lets out a sigh sitting upright against the front of the building. Wiping the sweat from his forehead he then takes out his journal to make an announcement.

Guess who sounds really, really tired? If you guessed him you get five hundred points! It comes with the blood loss. There's also a stunned Tease by his side with odd markings on it that match the markings within the seal. Unfortunately it comes back to life starts to bite at him. He'll reel backwards from it, dropping his journal on the ground, and putting his hand up to defend his face. That's what he gets for merely stunning the thing to make the seal and not finishing the job. ]

Ack! Pesky little thing aren't you? Very well, I'd rather have it not come to this-but you leave me no choice! [ And a burst of fire erupts from his hand effectively eliminating said Tease to nothing but ash. ]

For anyone, caught outside right now or too far from their current residence, please come to community house number seven. There's enough room to at least accommodate some, and there is protection. [ A pause with another tired sigh. ]

First those trees, now this. My what a week it's been! Never a dull moment, hm Luceti?

Either someone's really bored, or the Malnosso decided that they want to try out a new form of experiment. I was actually enjoying the peace.

Ted? It's been awhile, hasn't it? Are you doing alright? I think we all were. Though this does seem like something they would cook up.

I'm fine. As long as I don't go out, I should still stay in one piece for the rest of the day. And you?

First flaming trees, now butterflies... next we'll find out that we're getting a flood of rats for all we know.

A bit tired, but nothing serious. They don't seem to be capable of breaking through windows, which is good.

Oh don't say that! You might jinx us. [ He can't help but laugh though. If you could only see his face, it's just exuding disgust. Not a fan. ]

If butterflies can break windows, we will have serious issues.

I'm not sure I can make things any worse than they already are.

And it was just raining trees the other day. You can never be too sure in this place!

Oh of course not. We'll- just have to make the most of the situation, hm.

Let's just hope this is the last of these.

I somehow expected more butterflies though, with the way people are panicking.

One can only hope! I'd like to think that it is. [ Optimism is go! ]

There are clusters of them about. And we can't even track their movements due to their erratic behavior, but you are right their numbers seem to be dwindling, thankfully.

How long do you think this one will last?

I'm not certain, but a young man who seemed familiar with them told me that they're golems. Which means they can possibly last for awhile seeing as how golems are generally inanimate objects given living properties.

Golems, huh...? [He looks outside his window for a moment.] Rather elaborate ones here then.

Elaborate and advanced. Truly remarkable-but dangerous nonetheless. [ He totally wants to study one, oh man. Because only Helios would want to study a killer butterfly. ]

I've never seen anything like it.

You're not planning on catching one, are you?

Wh-what? Oh! No-no, heaven's no! [ Ffff what gave you that idea Ted? That idea is very preposterous and clearly good-er bad. ]

[Your response is rather strange.] Okay then. They're dangerous anyway, so it's best to not... keep one around.

[ No it's not Ted, it's noooormal. ] Exactly! I'd feel terrible if it got loose...or worse. I'm not very good with pets either, too much work, the school always did leave me with--little time on my hands as if was. Still I can't help but be interested in them. Golems, freely moving Golems at that! It's simply fascinating!

I'm not sure I'm that fascinated in things that bite back.

Oh. Well not that part. But the whole mechanism behind them though--someone or something with a great deal of power probably made them.

Maybe you can ask Luc. The guy made a stone golem before.

Luc? An acquaintance of yours...or someone from your world perhaps?

He's from my world, and I guess he's also an acquaintance.

[ Right on both accounts?! Two points for Helios! ]

Ah! I see I see! You must be quite the likable fellow back in your world, hmm? [ He's totally saying that in an amused tone. ]

Depends on what you mean by that.
