( Wrath has the device pointed toward himself, but over his shoulder, the rest of the crew who went after the news shouters are clearly in view. It is possibly an amusing village with Wrath being so entirely tall and broad, and the rest being much shorter, smaller: Kamala, America, Hermione, and Five walk behind him. Together, they enter Wrath's current residence (it's quite fancy, because the devil likes fancy things) to review what they have learned and make sure the coast is clear after breaking the shouters out from where they had been taken.
It's only when the door has closed on his magically warded residence that Wrath speaks: )
Kamala was right to worry about the veteran news shouters. We found them being held captive in the House of Scribes. According to these shouters, they had been beaten as a part of... conversations they were made to have over their 'poor civic spirit' - a direct quotation.
They were apparently detained for refusing to spread fearmongering about the supposed imminent resurrection and upcoming apocalypse of the Chained God. Their orders to do so were signed by Caius Justus himself. It is their belief that Caius Justus weaponizes this fear to stir the public in a particular direction - usually toward violence, bloodshed, fighting.
The shouters did appear to admire Messalina. They consider her message to be of one of... peace and liberation of the dead. As with all things, take that final particular information not as fact necessarily, but as their opinions to take into consideration.
( ooc: threadjack away, feel free to address any of the crew/threadjack, and also, replies could come from any of the crew )

[Kamala rubs her bare wrist self-consciously. She's about to share big feelings. She can never be sure how that will go over.] If you ever need anything, let me know. I would have helped you before because Emilia is great. I'm sorry, I've just been thinking of you as her pretty boyfriend this whole time. You're pretty great, too. I should have noticed that sooner.
