[Fenris has been hounded by the shadows since they first appeared. At first, nothing but whispers, nothing he couldn't ignore if he tried hard enough. But now they are louder, and they are hitting a little too close to home. He doesn't use the video on his tablet, unwilling to let others see even a touch of fear in his eyes. He keeps his voice steady, though the anger lying behind it is a little stronger than usual]

We have demons like this in Thedas. They slip through the Fade, into mages foolish enough to deal with them. These, however, seem to have no physical form, despite them knowing things only demons would know.

[You slaughtered those Fog Warriors after all they did for you, after they taught you what freedom mean, you destroyed them]

I wish to know how to destroy them. [He hates asking for help. He HATES it. But neither sword nor lyrium seem to have any effect, so ask he must] Does anyone here have a clue as to how to achieve this?

[ she doesn't know :| ]

What demons?

[wolfuncaged]

[There's deathly silence as he tries to distinguish the letters]

Wuh. Waa- [Oh] What. Duh. Duhe.

[No, screw it]

Can you speak?

[ she speaks this time. ]

What demons?

[ Ignores that jab. He always has to have a jab. ]

Any luck? You know, so long as they aren't hurting anybody, we ought to try to find a way to communicate with them before we just decide to destroy them.

voice for now

[wolfuncaged]

[The jab, he feels, is needed. JUST IN CASE]

They are demons, Merrill. You do not talk to demons, you destroy them. No good will come from keeping them alive.

and so forth with video!

[yourdistraction]

I know they're unpleasant, but you're being over-dramatic. Again.

[video]

[legal_eagle]

Think happy thoughts?

[wolfuncaged]

[There's a significant pause here]

I do not understand.

[What is this humour thing? Can you eat it?]

[video forever]

[legal_eagle]

It's a joke.

[A pause, and then a little bit of a smile - ]

Kind of.

[thewhitepawn]

There is something about them. It goes beyond simply unnerving. I can't be certain if they're more like spectres or demons, though.

[A pause.]

...Though I am uncertain if they have hurt anyone, the ...emotions attached to them seem to speak enough of ill intent.

voice foreverr

[wolfuncaged]

They usually need someone else to begin harming others for them. They are no doubt looking for the weakest amongst us to use as pawns.

voice foreverr

[thewhitepawn]

Perhaps so. Hopefully everyone can remain on guard until we find out more. I'd rather not see anyone harmed if and when they do change tactics.

[nothing]

They won't be blocked.

[ And she's not intent to try again, the very method she used being a strong focus of theirs. ]

This is what makes a demon?

[wolfuncaged]

You attempted it? [Oh hey, he might decide you're worthy of existence, good for you]

That amongst other things. These seem to fit the criteria.

[nothing]

Yes. Those voices remain. [ Won't her void-seeking heart be pleased! ]

... The word had existed in books. I do not know their objective.

voice;

[ladyspitfire]

They're not natural to here. This hasn't happened before.

[Not...that it's much comfort.]

Something here - or someone - is causing it. That, or the United Earth has finally found something to send after us.

forever!

[wolfuncaged]

That is good to know, at least.

Is there anyone here capable of tearing a hole into another reality? [Merrill comes instantly to mind. Maker, he hopes she hasn't been stupid enough to actually do this HERE]

Voice

[wilder]

Stuff seems to go right through them...so maybe you have to make them solid first or something.

forever!

[wolfuncaged]

That...is not bad thinking. It would at least give us a better chance.

[wilder]

Yeah, it would.

I don't really know that much about demons though. Most are sealed in my world.

voice

[hbisea]

They may only be illusions. Someone who deals with magic might be able to banish them.

forever!

[wolfuncaged]

I have no desire to ask the help of a mage. Magic likely caused this, I do not wish for it to be the solution.

[acemedium]

[This voice is familiar....] You have faded Thewhat demons?

forever!

[wolfuncaged]

[Oh no not you again]

The Fade. It is a place.
