[So this one day in a zombie farm, Elliot Nightray watched as his girlfriend set herself on fire and then got decapitated, tried to form a contract with yet another eldritch abomination, got himself blown up and torn apart for his troubles and then he made yet another Good Decision: promising Oz Vessalius that he would be available to tell him

[has also just gotten cleaned up, sitting nearby]

[pieta_au_lait]

I will. I promise.

[kepthishead]

Thank you. I know it sounds strange, but it's the only way I can control it.

[pieta_au_lait]

... you think you did cause it, then?

[kepthishead]

I'm the only one with an uncontrolled Chain that decapitates people.

[pieta_au_lait]

[oh]

[kepthishead]

I thought it was dead. It should be dead. I killed it. But it's back, since I came back and I don't know how to get rid of it.

[pieta_au_lait]

... can you detect it, at all?

[kepthishead]

I never could.

[pieta_au_lait]

... what do you know about it?

[kepthishead]

It's a Chain from the Abyss. It decapitates people. It takes away memories that upset me.

I don't even know why it decapitates them, though I have theories.

[pieta_au_lait]

... okay. We'll keep an eye out, and--you should make a journal. Write down everything you do. So that if there are gaps, you'll know.

[kepthishead]

...that won't work. It can also change what I see and hear. Even if I wrote something down that it took away, I wouldn't be able to read it.

[pieta_au_lait]

It's that powerful...?

[kepthishead]

It's that powerful. It can do that to multiple contractors too; I'm just the core contractor.

[pieta_au_lait]

How did you get rid of it before?
