Whatever the level is up from there, then. Not only do we have this cult to worry about, and forming bonds that make us all drop dead, but now there's possession! Just to spice things up.
[ :/ he's so mad. he doesn't fully flinch at being touched but he does do the cat that isn't sure if it's going to fight you, your hand and god in that order, or whether it's just a little pissy thing. ]
... Go on then. Who did you suspect? Because I had no clue.
In wizarding circles, I believe that is known as FUBAR.
[ he doesn't touch him for long, just a bit of genial camaraderie. if only because he's not entirely sure it won't get him bitten. ]
Karma, but only because he seemed to buckle under pressure. Who knows how accurate that is to the true nature of the events, or simply a child balking at being accused by a dozen angry eyes at once.
[ it does not get him bitten! progress. the initial spiteful cat anger mellows out just a little. ]
Half the camp seems convinced he's just a bored, scared child acting out and the other half is convinced he's the epitome of evil. It does make you wonder which one it truly is.
But if it was him and he continues to go after the... are we calling them goats, now? Then we really will be in trouble.
If he was possessed, I don’t think it’ll matter all that much whether he’s naturally inclined or not.
[ as far as astarion can see the… murder is just another miserable side effect to deal with now. ]
… Convenient if he was. Or worrying— this group had said they were looking into things on their own. It’s not very promising if they’ve already been partially caught out.
[ thinks back to them basicalling yelling "SCATTER" last week and -- yeah. ]
Trying's not going to do a lot if it gets us killed faster. [ ... ] I suppose this will make things harder for them to help as well. If I were a large nightmare cult and I learned four of my own had been playing traitor, I'd crack down on them.

gale goes stock-still and waits to see if there's a response ... ? ]
[ there clearly will not be. ]
no subject
[ well that answered that. ]
Apparently not.

[ alright then. sitting down next to him. ]
... That was all rather a huge mess.
no subject
[ yikes. ]
And we still don't know what happened to Death, really. Does that mean we're royally screwed this next week?
no subject
[ is he just on the ground. reaching over to just sort of pat him on the back or shoulder or whatever. ]
I hold my personal suspicions, but I don't know if there's much to be done about them.

I expect it is somewhere in the middle ... ? A bored, scared child with a bit of a mean streak.
[ most things are somewhere in the middle, in the end. ]
Are we calling them goats? [ lol ] I expect they will be more on guard now.

[ unless ori just chose chaos, which i respect ]
I feel like I heard someone say that. It’s quite amusing. [ hmm ] It sounded like this secondary ritual was a surprise even to them.
no subject
[ even after saying that. ]
It could simply be as we posited before: Death was an example made. A warning. Do as you are told or face consequences.

They weren't exactly too subtle when we spoke to them earlier. All a bit disorganized in their efforts - though admittedly I do feel they are trying.
