[voice] Of Orion the Hunter

[viditlibertas]

[Even without actual video, it's pretty clear that the speaker is rather exhausted, or just too beyond putting emotional inflection in his voice.]

The Pleiades, attendants of Artemis and the lost daughters of Atlas, became one with the night sky to comfort their father. Orion, the Great Hunter who was slain by the Scorpion of Artemis, sought to conquer them. However, in his way lies the Great Bull, with it's fiery eye fixated on the Hunter.

[There's a pause, however brief, and his tone shifts to something a little more humanlike.]

Though there are many variations on these myths, it may be wise to also look in to them.

What I said is direct. [do none of u bitches speak Star i mean seriously] The myth may be pertinent to these events, thanks in part due to the power of rumors and mankind's beliefs. Even a lucky spark of inspiration may be all it takes to be causation.

part one

[lighter_flick]

[At "the power of rumors" Tatusya involuntarily lets out a...a cross between a groan and a whine, it's hard to tell which. Okay, so the guy who seemed pretty powerful and knowledgeable knew about the power of rumors and stuff, wow hey. Wow. At least he seemed....nice...?

...Jun's "dad" seemed nice too, at first. Dammit.]

...But then you're just adding to the speculation, even if you're trying to make it less erratic by saying that there's a...... [Wait...]

done

[lighter_flick]

...Ohhhh. [Ohhhh, yeah okay, he thinks he might be getting it now.]

If people know the pattern, they're going to go with that so we know what's coming! Right?

u earned urself a video good sir

[viditlibertas]

[The chuckle that followed was...not comforting, and punctuated with a switch to video. Alker looked pretty serene, if a little proud.]

If people believe there is a pattern, a pattern will exist. If it is born from that belief, or has always been there does not matter- it is a modicum of control in the hands of humanity. Mankind's whims may be ever-changing, but to take power from chaos is what is needed here. Correct?

video; oh boy!

[lighter_flick]

[So it is that guy! Saiduq is currently looking at the rather dumbfounded expression on Tatsuya's face before he goes back to his neutral mask.]

Yeah... I'd rather it didn't happen at all, but once it's started, it probably wouldn't be able to stop completely, would it?

[viditlibertas]

You know this 'enemy' better than most. So you are aware of how hard halting such a...situation can be.

[Wow, way to sound cryptic and suspicious yet again.]

He is like a child with a new toy. With any hope, forcing a challenge early in this 'game' will ruin his plans.

[lighter_flick]

[That gives Tatsuya quite a bit of pause and he almost shuts off the video right there. But...

Someone powerful who isn't Philemon who also seems to be against him. That was...good, wasn't it? But how did he know about...oh, wait, nevermind. It was obvious when you thought about it.]

Ah, you...saw my post, then?

[gomen for almost having a meltdown]

[viditlibertas]

There seems to be a theme with that, yes. Someone shows up to violently discuss the subject, and others watch in confusion.

...I am aware that expressing oneself through emotions is difficult, but it has left an impression, yes. I fear it will allow Him to harm you in particular, given your history.

[lighter_flick]

You're a little late on the warning, but thanks.

[What he did to everyone couldn't possibly get any worse, he thinks before Eternal Punishment happens...]

[viditlibertas]

You are welcome?

[tats ur too deadpan he cant tell if you're being legit or not]

Nyarlathotep is such a facet of mankind that they can seldom see what lurks within them. It is a fantastic power, but I am more impressed in your ability to stand up to such a force.

[lighter_flick]

[That's okay, it's a real problem he has.

Annnyway, Tatsuya also doesn't know how to handle compliments, so he kinda shuts up and turns beet red, but something's bothering him...]

Ahh, hmm... [Did he....actually say that they fought Nyarlathotep over the Network? He can't really remember.] I...don't remember mentioning that, but thanks...? [If he DIDN'T, then how did this guy...]
