Enjolras Arrives

[antinouswild]

[Enjolras is shown on the screen examining the device for some time before he satisfies both his curiosity and his understanding that he is indeed on the network. Finally, he lifts his head and speaks. His voice is troubled in tone, but clear.]
My friends. Greetings. It’s been explained to me that we will are confined in this place, brought here with no consideration of our will and left here without the ability to leave. I do not choose to accept this, and I trust others feel the same. If you do, contact me and join me. We will gather as much additional information as we can, and see if we can’t take this upon ourselves to gain our freedom. Who is with me?
[He’s fierce as he speaks. His eyes and set of his jaw show his determination. He shuts off the device, again taking his time with it, and waits for a reply.]

I'm a pagan myself, but he's a Victorian so....

[antinouswild]

Yes. They mentioned that at the welcome center. But, I didn't quite believe it. Surely such a thing is the work of charlatans, and against God.

[Devin makes a noise that might be described as a giggle.]

I've met God. He - or she, or it, or they, depending on the circumstances - wrote the language of magic in my world, so you may find that your viewpoint on sorcery broadened while you're here.

:)

[antinouswild]

You're speaking blasphemy. At the very least, you were deceived.

[annihilist]

Oh, believe me, that's happened more than once, but the Spirit has me on something of a leash. Conversations are not a particularly enjoyable experience, especially after the fact. Splitting headaches.

Did you know the Spirit likes puns?

[antinouswild]

I... I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking about.

[annihilist]

[Oh, this is too much fun. Devin laughs again, more sharply this time.]

It's a very long and unpleasant story. Suffice it to say that it's definitely blasphemous, but definitely true. The two are not mutually exclusive.

[antinouswild]

Well then? It isn't as though we're going anywhere.

[annihilist]

[Devin's eyebrows rise, intrigued.]

This is the kind of story you may want a strong drink for, particularly if you're an adherent to the Bible. One does not have their worldview shattered every day.

I should probably start with the fact that I am a vampire - no pulse, has to consume human blood to live, and so on. Still want me to continue?

[antinouswild]

We'll continue. It's not even the strangest thing I've heard today. I don't have to believe you, or like you afterward.
