If anyone has powers [he says this very carefully with no particular intonation] I want to see them in person. Use them near me. On me. I don't care.

Also I've got this for recording. [he waves a digital recorder that looks fairly high quality for Walmart] If someone could help me figure it out it would be great.

If we want to get to the bottom of this we need as much evidence as we can. As many records. Details. So on.

If we're serious about finding out what's happening, let's get organized.

[he rubs a hand over his face]

Well if nothing else hopefully more amiable people will be inspired to do this.

[he has no confidence in himself]

[scotch_egg]

Right.

[pings Anthony]

Going to use myself as a test subject. You can say no all you like. Still happening.

[ends call]

That takes care of that.

[serpentinthegarden]

No. And stop being a dipshit.

2/2

[serpentinthegarden]

[ He looks again to see that Elliott has responded already. ]

On second thought, maybe you should do it. Might work out for the best.

[temptationaccomplished]

[Tries not to feel guilty that he was going to keep it a secret]

[scotch_egg]

Yes. I'm going to do it. No. I'm not letting anyone heal me. Do you want me to die?

[temptationaccomplished]

[Figures] Well, I can't say I'm the most amiable, but I promise if I get powers that work, you shall be one of the first to know.

[serpentinthegarden]

You aren't making any sense. Healing magic heals people, that's the point! It doesn't kill anyone.

[scotch_egg]

No.

I'm not letting anyone mess around...inside.

[scotch_egg]

Happy?

[scotch_egg]

Hope you don't. I'd rather you stayed well out of it.

//locked

[serpentinthegarden]

I did. Well... let, I was unconscious at the time... something to do with a wild memory and hitting my head on the floor, but never mind that, point is. It's fine. Maybe he could actually make you healthy again.

[scotch_egg]

That's-- He didn't even ask he just--

[he shuddered]

No. Absolutely not.

[temptationaccomplished]

[Opens his mouth to say something about the magic circles. Closes it. Looks guiltily away.]

I know. But it's out of our hands. I'm afraid this isn't something you can protect me from.

[scotch_egg]

Would that I could.

[he can see that guilty look and knows Fell would probably want magic. He seems the sort]

Maybe I can if I can get to the bottom of this.

[serpentinthegarden]

[ You should feel guilty. He only has one idiot cousin and he'd like to keep him out of trouble. ]

[serpentinthegarden]

Why not? What are you afraid of?

//locked

[scotch_egg]

I'm not afraid I'm disgusted.

[temptationaccomplished]

I know. And I do appreciate it, but--

Alec, please. I'd prefer you live and well than to be spared from whatever powers I may or may not get.

[temptationaccomplished]

[He's convinced Alec will do it without him if he tries to say 'no'...so he'd rather agree and be there to monitor.]

[serpentinthegarden]

Of what?? Something that could save your life? That's nothing to be disgusted over, that's a good thing. Don't even think twice about it. Just let him do the magic hand thing!

[scotch_egg]

Bah. It's fine. Don't worry so much.

[temptationaccomplished]

...No. Absolutely not. I'm worried about you.

///locked

[scotch_egg]

No!

I'm fine! Will you leave it a bloody lone already?

[temptationaccomplished]

Worrying is what I do, remember?
If you won't worry about yourself, I'll do it for you.
