Clearly there are more dangers to this town than just the humans who run it. How has this man achieved this much power without anyone doing something about him?

I haven't been able to do anything because this place took my abilities. But once I get them back, he won't be so cocky!

[anybodywitheyes]

They took all of our powers, so I imagine it took his abilities too when he first arrived. Someone should have dealt with him while he was still weak.

Now we have a problem.

[return_my_rice]

Yeah, but how would anyone have known he could do stuff like that?

[anybodywitheyes]

I'm pretty sure there are people here from his home world. If anyone could have known, it would have been them.

[bustydefense]

I just heard that message on my machine as well... I take it no one knows what he might do next?

[anybodywitheyes]

Such men are difficult to predict. I would ask one of the people who knew him before he arrived here if I wanted an accurate forecast of his actions.

But I feel reasonably safe in guessing that it won't be fun for the rest of us.

[bustydefense]

Do we know anyone who knew him before he arrived here?

I remember Sakuya saying something about him... that she lives with him? In 'that' house? Does that mean anything to you?

Wonderful. Perhaps we should talk about helping each other out... Not that I should be talking, since I will likely be rather useless.

[anybodywitheyes]

Well, not personally, no, but there's got to be someone who does.

I listen around, and pick things up. Apparently "That" house has a fairly horrifying reputation.

I won't be terribly useful myself. At least you have opposable thumbs. Maybe once I have more of my magic back.

[rainbowbrush]

He's nuts! I would have taken him down myself by now if I had my magic!

[anybodywitheyes]

I thought you had your magic back already. That picture thing, right?

[rainbowbrush]

Pictomancy.

It's not as strong as it should be. They're still holding me back!

[prodigious_mage]

Well, gee, Mr. Reynardine. Might be that he's kinda scary. But you know, I'm behind ya all the way now that you've volunteered.

[anybodywitheyes]

Did I volunteer? I don't think I volunteered for anything.

[prodigious_mage]

Well, usually, the guy who complains about stuff is the only one who cares enough to actually do anything.

Besides, you're like a nature god, right? He's a demon god. You guys would make a good match.

[anybodywitheyes]

I used to be some kind of diety. I might be one again in the future, at the whim of this town.

For now I am at best a talking animal.

[takeyour_soul]

It's not that easy, I don't think.

[anybodywitheyes]

Can't kill anyone permanently, can't act in the open without getting brainwashed.

The more I think about this, the uglier it gets.
