Third Curse - (Drawings + Voice, backdated to the 18th) Possession And You

[undeadparts]

...hi. This is Zozo again. I know there's a lot of crap going on, but...there's something I'd like to explain. I've heard some people don't much about possession, my captain included, so I'm hoping to clear some of this stuff up since I'm a necromancer.

[She pauses for a few moments as once blank page slowly beginning to be filled with what appears to be a picture in...is that crayon?]



This is me.



This is a ghost. Ghosts aren't the only things capable of possession, buuut they do tend to do it a lot so I'll use them. Ghosts can take possession of someone and get inside their head...





And make them do stuff they wouldn't normally do. A guy I know got possessed once. He hated dancing, but once he got possessed he couldn't stop. Turns out he was just drunk, though.

[Another pause.]

...where was I?

[...]

Oh, right. Possession. Living things can possess people too, but you don't actually have to eject your soul from your body to do it. Magic makes it a lot easier. It's in some ways less effective than the soul thing, but the stronger the magic the harder it is to break free. Plus you don't even need to be near the person to do it. That's why the witch has been able to possess so many people and make them go crazy.

It's also why the grip is so strong now. Since she's got some really strong magic, most people can't just force her out like they could with a ghost.



...which is why our best bet is to kill the witch. If she's dead her spell will be broken and everyone will go back to normal.

And that's it. If you have any questions I can answer them.

Not like we have much choice.

[Voice]

[undeadparts]

It's not too bad. Not getting hungry probably helps a lot, though.

[Voice]

[undeadparts]

We know.

[undeadparts]

...I feel like those answers only left me with more questions.

[voice]

[rebellions]

It's a goddamn fortress, not some cellar. Can't see why the roof wouldn't be─

[Waaaaait a minute, what was it about a curse?]

... What exactly are you plotting there?

[He'd rather know ahead of time if she's planning to drop said roof on their heads.]

[voice] FUCKING ENTER BUTTON

[undeadparts]

It could still be pretty low...

[Could be, but probably isn't.]

Huh? Oh. I'm planning on learning how to do that meteor thing Xun Yu did, but with fireballs. She's probably gonna have lots of guards, so I'd like to have something that can deal with them.

[Voice]

[seadevil]

See? He's started already?

[Voice]

[collagehero]

I can't imagine not getting hungry, either! I mean, sometimes it's the bad sort of hungry, but without the good sort of hungry, life would be so dull and unhappy. I hope you find lots of other things to do!

[rebellions]

... And the rest of us while you're at it, I bet.

[If it's anything like what Xun Yu has pulled off, it wouldn't be very safe to be anywhere around when she does that.]

[Voice]

[rebellions]

If you're gonna badmouth someone, at least do it somewhere where they're not listening!

[voice] JINHAIRFLIP.GIF

[undeadparts]

That's why you all stay close to me when I do it.

[Voice]

[undeadparts]

Huh? But you badmouth people all the time to their face.

[voice]

[rebellions]

Yeah, I'm suuuuuure this is gonna work out so well in the middle of a battle.

[It's not one of those tactical RPGs, after all.]

[voice]

[undeadparts]

It will if you all listen.

[Voice]

[seadevil]

That would be how I prefer to do it. If I've an issue, it's best that everyone hears about it.

[infinitime_loop]

True. It's too bad we don't have the right equipment for shelling her from a distance.

[Voice]

[rebellions]

[Crap, she's right.]

... I... see your point, but...

[Oh, thanks for throwing him a line there, Motorchicken.]

─Then how about you come here and say it to my face, Sea Devil?

[voice]

[rebellions]

Right, I can already imagine that.

[He now speaks in a high-pitched voice in a (failed) attempt to sound more like the necromancer.]

"Attention everyone, I'm about to bring a goddamn apocalypse on your heads, so if you could move outta the way in 3... 2... 1..."

[/poor Zozombie impression]

Friggin' fantastic.

[Voice]

[undeadparts]

[Uh-oh.

This doesn't look like it'll end well. Maybe she should stay outta this...]

[voice]

[undeadparts]

[...]

That doesn't sound like me. My voice is lower and you don't sound gloomy enough.

[voice]

[rebellions]

[Wow no dissing his voice acting skills, bitch.]

Screw you, that's not the point!

[voice]

[undeadparts]

[You need skills in order for them to be dissed, bitch.]

I guess I can work on them so they can't hit you guys.

[gokai_red]

I know a Princess pretty well.

Trust me, these kids ain't royalty.

[Voice]

[seadevil]

You can hear me well enough and it's not as if you have more than a few meters to walk if you wish to speak face to face. I do have a ship to steer, you know.

[voice]

[rebellions]

[He has plenty of skills. And don't call me a bitch, you bitch.]

And you only thought of this now?!
