[Video, Oh God]

[exceedinglydramatic]

DOOOOOOOOOM!

DOOM COMES FOR US ALL! LET LOOSE THE DOGS OF WAR, THE SKIES SHALL RAIN WITH MOBOCRACY AND THE DARKEST FIERY PITS SHALL CRACK OPEN, OUR SOULS FORFEIT!

[He stops to take a large breath.]

THERE IS NO DELIVERANCE FROM THIS FATE! WE SHALL ALL QUAKE AT THE CHAOS LIKE THE WORMS WE ARE!

A SICKENED, SENSITIVE SHADOW WITHERING IN HANDS THAT ARE NOT HANDS!! GODS, THE HANDS! GHASTLY MIDNIGHTS OF ROTTING CREATION!! CORPSES OF DEAD WORLDS!!! THE WINDOW! THE WINDOW!!!

[Running is heard behind him and a voice is heard. It sounds like Ciel's voice]

There he is!

[Q's voice follows.]

Miss Minerva, now!

[There is the shot of something being fired while McGonagall lets loose a spell of her own.]

Incarcerous!

[A series of ropes fly in the air and bind Orpheus so that he can't move. He continues to struggle, all the while screaming.]

UNHAND ME YOU FIENDS! YOU ARE ALL IN LEAGUE WITH THE DARKNESS! IT COMES TO KILL US ALL! IT-

[Clang! Q opted to use a small tranquilizer gun on Orpheus from the back, knocking him right out.]

What a mess.

[He turns towards the camera, adjusting his tie as if there was no problem in the world. Even in dire situations, he is a calm man.]

It appears that a bout of paranoia has hit citizens of the city. At first we had assumed it was just the local population, but now with Orpheus....also affected, it means some of you may be in turn. We are trying to find the source of these matters, but our search has been fruitless.

Even the demonic population isn't quite sure what is going on.

Be vigilant. If you feel you are affected, please do your best to stay calm.

[As he speaks in the back, you can hear Ciel and Minerva talking about locking Orpheus up for his own good...and their ears.]

text - he aint even locking this shit

[putonagoodshow]

If you need any help with him, either myself or Reiko can attempt.

Or, well. If you'd simply rather trade babysitting duties I guess?

WHAT IS WRONG WITH EVERYBODY?!

[misery_hates_company]

*Misery holds the watch away from her, shielding her ears.*

Of all the blasted... That explains my sales jump, at least. Well, it hasn't affected me, so it's not really any of my business.

"Mobocracy?"

[drakenguard]

I do hope you have at least managed to pinpoint a pattern in this...peculiar infection. Are there any common links between those that are acting this way?

[Yamato's seen everyone acting a bit weird and YEAH OKAY HE DOESN'T WANNA END UP ACTING LIKE THAT]

voice because he's too freaked out to type

[hetried]

W-- What the hell? Remain calm?! How do you expect us to remain calm with demons and that-- that thing looming around here somewhere?! [You know, whatever Orpheus was talking about.] Don't just go around saying nothing is wrong! I knew something was up with this place the first minute we all got here...!!

[this... explains a few things, but at the same time it doesn't. Without a cause it's difficult to create an action plan.]

There hasn't been any history of this kind of thing happening before, has there?

[what with the Shadows and a full moon in a few weeks... if this is some kind of new Apathy Syndrome, she wants to be on top of it.]

[...what just happened? He doesn't care who answers, so he sends a general reply to the seven.]

Is he going to be all right?

[greyerrant]

..... This is.... unpleasant.

[ihaveanannouncement]

This isn't a regular occurrence, then?

[She's, seen some people acting strangely on her way to work. It was almost uncomfortably like last January, when the doomsday cult was reaching its peak.]

I'll try to do what I can, even if it's not much.

[glassworkgenius]

S-so it's not just me? We're... we're really going to die...! There's no chance to fight "it"! We should just run away or hide!

[universebeware]

...

I never thought he could get WORSE than normal.

[electricyousei]

That was a very long winded bout of paranoia. Is there any useful data to be had out of this?

[video]

[plunderbunny]

[Well, that explains Guybrush. Sort of.]

Let me guess, this is going to get worse before it gets better, isn't it?

[minetodecide]

Just....what is going on?!

[canteachyoumore]

[...

...

Well, that was the worst bout he's seen today, and Theodore's clearly worried. If it could get that bad, to the point of restraint...]

We of the Velvet Room are not unaffected as well. Both of my sisters are acting rather strangely, and I believe one of them may have to be confined herself should she worsen. [First guess doesn't count.]
