voice, un: noir; dated during when people are puppeted

[gracile]

[Anyone who knows Haru might hear that there's an odd tone in her voice. It might not be different to the point where it causes concern, but she certainly doesn't sound as expressive as she normally does.

This is because, of course, she's been ordered to do this.]

I've read that there are multiple Moonblessed who have been feeling compelled to follow peoples' orders, yes?

Is anyone aware of a remedy? A fix to the condition? We should try to come up with a solution.

Thank you.

None, so far as I'm aware.

I assume you're being controlled, yourself?

( She didn't want to be so forthright, lest she inspire her puppetmaster's ire. But she wanted to know if this woman was safe, if so. )

[gracile]

[A short pause.] I have been given orders to make this post, yes.

[Hoo boy. She shouldn't get involved or offer free advice, but this is a sensitive topic for her.

And maybe she wants to see how much she can say.]

You need to know who they were all in contact with prior to being compelled.

[gracile]

Does that make a difference? I would assume we all encountered the man behind the dolls.

[lastquestion]

A spell like that doesn't end unless he says it does, so yeah. It makes a difference.

[gracile]

Well... what I meant was that it was likely to all be the same person, don't you think?

I agree. We should meet with the others posthaste to discuss what to do.

[It seems a little off to Yusuke that she would turn to the wider network instead of Ren and the others first, but other than that he hasn't yet realised anything is amiss.]

voice

[gracile]

Now? As in, right at this moment?

I'm not sure if I can do that.

voice

[wantsnudes]

[???] But I thought you wanted to discuss it now...

I can gather everyone for the meeting, and you can join us when you're able to arrive. Would that be convenient?

voice

[gracile]

Well, it's a little complicated...

I'm not sure when I can make it, Yusuke-kun.

[Oh someone is going to pay for this. He's already seen the first post, after all.]

Haru, are you okay?

voice - private

[gracile]

[Oh. How should she handle this?

In the end, she needs to obey what Hazuki asked her to do.] Ren, I'm safe. Don't worry about me.

voice - private

[chainlinks]

I think we both know that saying 'don't worry about me' makes me think I should worry about you.

Are you being held somewhere?

voice - private

[gracile]

[He can probably hear the way she winces.] I mean it, though. You don't have to worry about me being in danger, because I'm safe.

[There's another pause.] I wouldn't say I'm locked up or anything. I'm in a hotel room.

[That probably sounds a lot more ominous than it is.]

[foolishjustice]

[He notices that lack of expression, and...well. He's already had his Theories. It takes him a bit to school his own emotions under control, and his own voice has a clipped tone, like he's struggling with his own temper.]

I have my suspicion as to who's behind this. Confronting him and forcing him to end his spell might be an option.

[gracile]

[Interestingly, Haru's voice remains the same when talking to Akechi this time-- with none of the customary tension behind it.]

Do you mean the proprietor of the doll boutique?

Private

[foolishjustice]

[He's...hesitant to move to a private conversation, after last time, but...he doesn't want this where the person in question could easily find it.]

I do. I don't know how exactly he's doing it, but that's why capturing him is a high priority. He won't get away with this.

private

[gracile]

...you should be very careful in doing so.

[Is all she says.

But boy, that's an interesting tone of voice.]

voice (sn: healerprincess)

[im_gonna_heal_u]

I agree.

[ Konoka's voice is equally stilted. Much like Haru, she is under control. ]

All I know is that the doll store has a spell that compels us. Its owner is currently under siege, at the time that I speak this.

[gracile]

Yes, I'm aware of that.

I tried to investigate him myself.

[im_gonna_heal_u]

So did I. Then the curse took place. I've been unable to operate entirely on my own since.

Since the Moon Knights will probably capture him, will they get the key to break the spell?

[gracile]

Do you have someone who's asking you to watch and monitor the network?

[...] I hope they do. It would be nice.

[ it's taken some time to formulate a coherent answer to this post. despite that, yukari's voice still shakes with barely controlled fury. ]

That's right. Nobody's figured out a cure yet, but there's a good chance we know who's responsible.

voice

[gracile]

[Oh no. She can hear that anger. Oops.]

...you mean the doll store proprietor, yes? I was looking into him.

voice

[piercedyourheart]

Yeah, and if he can do--. [ a pause to collect herself because she is this close to kicking someone's ass ] He can do this then he might be behind some of the other things that have been happening, too.
