Video post from the Bureau

[A new face from the Bureau appears on the screen - this is Ms. Garcia. She appears exhausted and stressed.]

This last week we investigated a disturbance referred to as 'the corruption' in the other universe. Today we can confirm that it has spreed to our universe. We have examined a number of individuals and monitored their symptoms. We can say for sure it is not a virus, bacteria, fungus, or pathogen of any kind. How it spreads is unclear to us at this time. We haven't ruled out a supernatural explanation.

We do know its symptoms,

[She reads from her clipboard.]

Which are as follows:

- Excessive violent emotions
- Compulsion to act on violent emotions
- Bloodshot eyes, with yellow-red tinged irises
- Sunken, darkened eye sockets
- Excessive sweating, though fever is not a symptom
- Nervousness and agitation
- Exhaustion, although individuals still seem to sleep a normal schedule
- Blackened veins showing through skin; however, when blood is drawn tests find no abnormalities.


[She looks up from her clipboard.]

We have heard reports that there are some measures a person can take to prevent catching this corruption. We are currently studying to see if these methods help so we can give a more definitive answer.

[She returns to her clipboard again.]

- Mindfulness techniques and meditation, to make yourself consciously aware of your emotions and to exercise self control.
- Selfless service to others, helping those in need.
- Possessing one of each stone from the other universe's Stone Festival will ward off the corruption


[She looks up from her clipboard again and lowers it]

No one has died from this condition that we know of. However, the compulsion to act on violent emotions is concerning. If you are experiencing symptoms of this corruption, we ask that you come into the Bureau building and seek our help.

Thank you for your time.

...I can help calm people down a little, if needed.

I'll have you know I hesitated because of you.

[Unfortunately, not when it comes to criticism re: his job]

Hesitated to do what? You were right on the spot when your bosses called.

[ Ah well, they will just have to gif-snark at each other then. ]

It doesn't take me all that long to do the math.

And didn't you say it would never reach us here or something?

How was anyone to know the portals went two-ways? It's not like we were ever told, oh by the way... something might follow you back. It's our fault we weren't given full access to all the information about these things?

[personal profile] bearshermark 2020-06-30 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
If we can go both ways, then it was always a possibility! How much information do you think anyone has stored up about interdimensional portals anyway??
serpentinthegarden: (Looking for agreement)

You would have the ask the Bureau that and their record for straight answers is pretty bad.

It might be, but most of us have only spoken with one representative.

Texted like that's not making my point about the Bureau being cagey with answers.

And I already told you I was concerned about that.

You realize I'm one person, right? But apparently that's all we have to work with right now.
darkforcerising: (AU considering what you said)

Are you really picking a fight with a teen?

Aren’t you like fifty?

I'm okay; I can handle it. I know we aren't going to agree.

I'm sure you will fix it all.

At least I'm going to try.

You’re not being funny. That’s actually really not cool.

Re: text

It’s still not cool for an adult to do this. People can disagree without being rudely antagonistic.

Don't be so eager for it. You might exercise a little caution... Wait until nightfall, that sort of thing. You're way too open.
serpentinthegarden: (Always with shades)

Yeah, I know. I'm a being a real devil.

That barely makes any sense.

Let me put it into kid speak.

You're the kid in the front of the classroom who always is the first one to raise his hand when teacher asks a question. Perfect straight A's. Winner of the spelling bee. Overachiever on everything!

For some reason that's really annoying me today.

That's definitely not me in school.

But anyway, I don't think we can really afford to just wait around.

I don't believe it.

[ A pout as he pauses between texts. ]

There's not much else you can do. It's not like you can go around forcing people to do good deeds, they have to want to do that on their own. Pretty sure it doesn't count otherwise.
