[IC Inbox - Carvaka]

Notes: Henry's network object takes the form of a book, that looks nearly identical to the tome Grima's Truth. So as a default, all responses from him are handwritten (text). Where noticeable, his handwriting would show up as a small, casual-looking script that's more precise than may be initially apparent. Occasional bloodstains may or may not be involved.

Ooh, she's a dead thing? I love dead things! It's like getting an extra killing in.

But from the sound of her, she's a bit more like a person and a bit less like an undead thrall. Uh. I mean, you brought her back with ya, I'm assuming she wasn't going GRAAAAUGH and trying to stab you on the way.... Most of the undead I've known have been more like that!

Still, if she has anything in common with them, you have to be really thorough with the slaughter, since they're not likely to be slowed down by a missing limb or protruding guts. And I could probably kick someone out of a body with a curse, but who's gonna be the one holding her down?

[Well, that's horrifying.]

Not like a thrall, then, no. More like a person puppeting a body of her own designs, but she would seem to be in the body? It's a little unclear how she's even doing what she is, but Ms. Salander is speaking with another Historian named Rhod who may be able to shed some light on that. It sounds like this is all an experiment, though.

As for who might be holding her down, Lucina's pulling together a fighting force to defend against her. I would imagine she'd want to launch a coordinated attach to take her down if you'd like to chime into her latest missive with what you might be able to do.

Most spirits are inside the bodies they're controlling. Sorta? As much as they're in anything. I didn't know historians were ghosts! Usually ghosts possess the living, though, not other dead things.

I'm good for a fight, buuuut I'm not sure about this wandering around trying to find someone who might get caught by someone else anyway. That's boring! And she hasn't hurt anyone I like so I'm not seeing the crisis either. Crush a few people with a cool tail, and get the whole population bringing out the pitchforks! Sounds like everyone's overreacting to someone having a good time.

[There are times now when Monty finds Henry's strangeness charming in its own ways. This is not one of those times.]

Henry, I'll very likely be going with them and may die. [He hadn't actually been planning to do so, but if it will incentivize him.] I would very much prefer not to. And it may upset Renart when she returns if it happens.

I know your good luck curse might help, but I would feel safer with you there.

Wha

You didn't say anything about YOU going with them. I know you're a great murderer and all, but you're the crafty sort, you're not supposed to be on the front lines like the rest of us.

....I can come and protect you I guess, Renart would be sad if you died, even if you came back and still remembered her.

[Not to mention that he'd be upset as well, but. That wasn't the sort of thing worth mentioning.]

I'll do what I have to. I'm the one responsible for Ms. Eris being here. I was the leader of our expedition. I made the decision to bring her back. I have to see this through.

Thank you, though, Henry. I'll let you know when we've got a plan. Start thinking of several very excellent lies, as well. I think that might help slow her down if she really is an Historian under all of that.
