[Voice; Locked from Lady and Killer (Hackable)]

[johnnygarland]

There's a few people acting weird now, and not just a little. Unless you're ordinarily psychopaths...[But, he's fairly sure Nill is not usually grumpy like this, so he's a little doubtful about the people being violent.]

If you've been feeling strange, lemme ask: seen a woman with gray hair and red eyes lately?

If you have information, it is crucial that you share it.

[johnnygarland]

Hm? You...

I don't want to say too much if I'm wrong. [Although it's looking more and more like he's right.]

[princedetective]

I've returned here recently.

Your view is... understandable. However, if you're right, it would be better to know sooner rather than later. I have once again joined the police; at the very least, we should be informed of all leads.

[johnnygarland]

Oh. Guess that...sorry, I don't really remember you.

[Locked]

...No, I think I just got as much confirmation as I'll get without things going out of control.

I think Lady--and maybe Killer too, though I didn't realize he could... I think they're spreading Malice. It messes with people's heads, it'd explain the mood swings...I'm living with someone who might be affected, and the way she's acting kinda fits how it is early on.

[princedetective]

I do not mind either way.

What are their descriptions, and frequencies?

With a name like 'Malice...' How is it spread? What does it do, aside from mood swings; are there any other signs? And are you suggesting this is connected to the recent deaths?

ladysgrace and a_naked_flame. Lady's got--gray hair, red eyes--gold covering her ears--not tall or short really, just in the middle. Killer's a tall, lanky guy, red hair and brown eyes. ...Sometimes red.

...Malice turns people into monsters. If this is really Malice--people are going to die. There's no way to stop it... I just--shit, I don't know what to say or how much because if the people she kissed get panicked that's just going to make everything get worse faster. It feeds off of fear and anger, and it amplifies them.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was. Malice can kill instantly--not even leave a trace on the body.

[princedetective]

What?

There's no- no way to stop it-? [...

...] No. I agree. It would be best if this is kept quiet...

[Locked]

[johnnygarland]

Swear to God, if there was a way I would've found it. There isn't. [Though...] Maybe...not back home, but...Maybe with people from different worlds, someone here might have something...?

I don't know how much time there is, though. Edna turned really fast.

[princedetective]

How long would you estimate they have?

[...] Are there any symptoms aside from mood changing? How can we know who...

[Locked]

[johnnygarland]

Kinda--I mean...people have their triggers...things they'll panic over... Assuming they don't get into a bad situation though, maybe a few weeks?

Mood swings, increased strength--when the Malice is working their eyes'll turn red.

[princedetective]

And they are related to the illness going about? And they are only transfered through "kisses?" [...]

I apologize for having to ask, but: how do I know you can be trusted? How do you know so much about this "Malice;" how am I to know you did not spread it yourself?

[Locked]

[johnnygarland]

I just got here, a little over two weeks back. I know I've been here before, I don't know when I left--you'd have to ask other people about that--but I just got here, my chip's still in. You can ask Jackie, I've been living with him--I haven't been sick or anything.

I know about this stuff because Lady and Killer are from my world. I've had to...deal with the aftermath of Malice.

But yeah, it's the kiss that doesn't. If you're worrying about people being contagious...you can be around the person just fine without getting hit with it too.

When you were last here, you assisted in an arrest I also took part in. I am inclined to believe you... but, I had to ask.

Thank you for your information. I will see to it that the police know.
