text, anon but oh so traceable

[After Jovan's post Cecil has been awkwardly touching a few cultists in Vegas and learning things. Petunia's daughter has asked him to share with the class, and so he does:]

The cultists plan a great sacrifice and cleansing tomorrow. I fear Mrs. Petunia Bonright's life is in grave danger. They see her as a corruptor of reincarnates. It is likely, though not certain, that the so-called sacrifice will involve water. Mrs. Bonright is a kind lady. Please, help her if you can.

If you are a minor or powerless, stay away. The cultists are not safe. For the same reason, under no circumstances try to date any of them.

[ okay there's a lot, there's a LOT to be said in response to that, BUT FIRST: ]

You got a date with one of them? You?

[senseandcecilbility]

[There is a long pause before he finally replies:]

NO! NEVER!

[But the things he has seen cannot be unseen!]

[squicksilver]

[ Oh well then. That makes the rest of this post more credible. ]

How did you discover this information?

[senseandcecilbility]

[HEY! Also, why is Alexander the Great talking to him as if he knows who he is? He the anonest of anons! ]

That is not relevant!

[Apparently, that specific topic is more personal than asking about his non-existent romantic life.]

[squicksilver]

It's very relevant. Otherwise how do we know you're not some mind-controlled minion of whoever it is doing all this?

Sounds like you know from experience eh?

[senseandcecilbility]

[ Cecil cannot decide which is worse: letting the lady assume terrible things about him, or letting her find out that the word "experience" rarely applies to his person. He attempts a middle ground:]

Not quite. Some fellow joined the Children of the Shell because he is infatuated with one of its members.

[Trust me, Abby has said a lot things such as someone getting a black eye all because they wanted to bring a ‘band’ together.]

But isn’t that even worse? They’re only joining some weird cult for only that person?

Well, good luck trying to get out once that relationship is over! Although you know them?

[senseandcecilbility]

[ That does not lead to terrible misunderstandings at all, madam... ]

Honestly, it sounds like a terrible idea. I just met him briefly, though.

[Very briefly, thank goodness. Unfortunately, what was seen cannot be unseen.]

[sjokolade]

Yeah? And what did he say about that? There no way he just….can’t say something about this!

[Good luck, you’re going to need it! Have fun with Abby and her misunderstandings!]

[saviorsoul]

how did you learn all that

[senseandcecilbility]

[ Why people keep asking that!]

That is not important!

[saviorsoul]

why not

if you haven't noticed, there's a group going around terrorizing people. the last thing we need is a trap luring in more of us.

[senseandcecilbility]

[So demanding. Just like last time!]

Because it is personal.

A nice lady is missing and she needs help. Besides, aren't you too young for that?

[saviorsoul]

you know if you're friends, you can just say so. keeping everything to yourself is going to make people more suspicious right now.

and i'm not too young. i have powers too and i can fight. i want to help.

By the water... thank you.

Can you tell us anything else? I don't suppose you know any specific locations they are associated with?

[senseandcecilbility]

[ Finally, someone who doesn't question how he knows what he does! ;; ]

They seem to be attracted to waterways and large bodies of water, and even use water and shells as their symbols. As far as I know, there were incidents at the Bellagio, the Aria, and the Shark Reef Aquarium.

[seed_of_memory]

That much I've been able to piece together. That said, sir, you do realize this causes suspicion to fall upon you, correct?

[senseandcecilbility]

[He does, and it is an endless source of misery. ]

I do, but I thought that was preferable than doing nothing. That said, I'm not a cultist or have any connection to them. I don't even believe in God.

[drawitagain]

Th-that kind of thing really happens...?

[senseandcecilbility]

I am afraid so.

[The horror!]

/LATE

[brotimaeus]

I'm gonna guess there's some context to that warning.

[senseandcecilbility]

I really wish you were wrong. Unfortunately, that is not the case.

[brotimaeus]

See, now I really have to ask.

[senseandcecilbility]

[ Whyyyyy. ]

A cultist in love is not exactly a role model.
