[ The image comes up to show Marcos huddled behind a boulder near the water's edge with two figures nearby. He looks tense and keeps his voice low as he gestures to the others that he started the feed. ]
Hey. This is Marcos. I have Lorna and Wrench here with me. We uh... found something. [ He moves the device to show a cave, and the cluster of mermaids going in it. ]
Apparently some of the mermaids are able to use a siren call to lure people out here. There's a cave where they're gathering at night, but it's guarded. Most of them are in pretty bad shape, but we think what's in there might have something to do with what's making them... insane.
[ No offense, mermaids, but they did already try to eat him once. ]
//
[ lorna comes up to marcos's side after he shows what they've found, glancing over at him and reaching for his hand out of frame. when she addresses the camera herself she seems relatively calm, but serious. ]
We've got some experience dealing with mind control, but not enough to combat it. [ or block it to a degree any of them are comfortable with before they proceed. ] So whatever techniques you've got would be appreciated.

[Wrench, who's been practically vibrating this entire time, all but explodes at this point, albeit quietly -- or as quietly as he knows how to be, anyway] Otherwise, looks like meat's back on the menu, boys! [the mask displays a quick, angry face, mostly for show, before jumping to a bright (^_^)] Or, you know, sushi.
[yeah, he's been sitting on that reference this entire time]
Seriously, though. [help them, Obi-Wan Kenobi]
ooc: Marcos/Lorna/Wrench (if that's not obvious) any combination may reply!

If... It is anything like whatever thrall was overtaking the group on the journey to the tower here, I was able to help dispel that compulsion then?
...to a degree.
no subject
[did any of them mention that they were the ones that the mermaids lured out? no? well, there you go]
That may change, though, if the whole stealth thing doesn't work out.
[if they can't sneak into the cave and one or more of them has to play distraction, it would be nice to have someone on stand-by to keep them from inadvertently drowning themselves, if and when the mermaids try and mind control them again. so, hold that thought, Anduin?]
no subject
Anduin smiles politely.]
Of course. Do not hesitate to reach out to me, if you should need any assistance in this regard? As a priest of the Light, I am trained in a number of shielding and purifying techniques.
no subject
This is going to sound super sarcastic, and I promise I don't mean it that way -- [no, seriously. he absolutely means what he's about to say] -- but I think the beach needs Jesus. [a beat] Or the light or purification or whatever. [(>_@)]
Apparently, the beach eats glass.
no subject
For better or worse, he has no idea what half of this statement means. Which is probably for the best anyway. But the part about the beach...]
I'm sorry, it... The beach does?
[What?]
no subject
Anyway, apparently, I guess they missed with one? And, like, the beach absorbed the glass. [(o_o)] And if that isn't some horrifying shit and you don't think the beach needs a fucking exorcism, there's something wrong with you.
no subject
Well. I can certainly look into it?
[Anduin doesn't really know what an exorcism is -- but he gets the gist.]
This was... Just regular glass?
no subject
I ... don't know, actually. [he didn't think to ask Slick that. (?_?)] Knowing this place, though? Probably not.

There is a certain spell that I am able to do, which is able to dispel the effects of such things for a time.
I was able to cast this for those who were most in need of recalling themselves from the pull of the tower.
no subject
no subject
But I had thought I might offer nevertheless.
un: eclipse | video
He'll let the others as their questions, but he for one isn't going to turn down an offer like that. ]
I don't know if it's exactly the same, but they were strong enough to compel everyone around them to gather out here. [ He's not really sure they're out of range or if they just stopped for some reason. ] We could probably use your hand if people are coming out to help.
no subject
Of course. I will do what I can.
Just let me know where I am needed.
no subject
We might not need you, but it'll be too late if we do and can't give you a call. [ He hopes he's not suggesting this only to put him in danger, but hopefully he's just being overly cautious. ] If you want to come near the shore, we're getting ready there. How long does it last?
no subject
Around half an hour, give or take. The effects usually last longer back on Azeroth, but. This is a strange place, the magic here. I cannot promise anything more than that.
no subject
That should be enough time. If you feel like it's about to crap out on you, maybe you could give us a heads up to hurry out of there.
