Attention, any and all guests of this Keep that are mutants, Misfits, or any variation thereof. My name is Anna Dominguez, and I request your attention for a few moments.

There is a man recently arrived that is one from my world, New America. His name is Mads, and he is a very bad man. He works for Facility - a government run group that is known for

How horrible. I feel sorry that you had to go through something like that, miss.

I assume being visibly non-human would make myself a target as well?

[Argh, now she kind of wants a way to hide her ears, but they're way too big for that.]

[tigressina]

[She's not commenting further on her experience. The betrayal of her 'friend' is still fresh, and Jael hasn't asked for details.]

Potentially, yes. However he is only one man and we are many.

[mutedmother]

You have a good point, but if he's that determined, then he could still pose a threat.

[text]

[tigressina]

It would be smart to be wary of him, yes. Do not underestimate him.

[Ever.]

[brynkitten]

Are...are you certain that this is the same Mads? Not another one?

[Despite what Nick has told her, what Anna has told her, she has some hope that they're mistaken.

Yes, she's grasping at straws, and really, she's not trying to insult you Anna by asking you if you're sure you know for sure whether or not it's someone who's tortured you countless ways. Honest.]

[tigressina]

Of course I'm certain. There is no mistaking him. He is the Mads I know.

[brynkitten]

I see. Thank you for...going out of your way. To warn us.

[Bryn sounds quite distressed by this, but says nothing further. She already promised Nick that she would stay away from Mads but the fact remains that this turn of events has shaken her.]

[tigressina]

Of course.

[It's Anna that's on the line for this.]

...

Are you alright?

[Audio]

[sociopathicwolf]

[...well shit. Experimentation and testing on people with abilities? This is sounding very familiar. Derek is going to make sure this guy stays the hell away from Chloe and Alex.]

What does he look like? Does he have abilities of his own?

[Audio]

[tigressina]

Tall, lean. Unruly brown hair, light facial hair. He will not be shy about his name, and will deflect my statements. It is up to you to do what you will with my warning.

No. He is human.

Don't mind me. I'm not really here.

[but_why_u_mad]

[Mads objects! His hair is not unruly. It's curly. BC]

[tigressina]

[It's unruly. B|]

[trustedhisheart]

[This is certainly...troubling. The idea of using another human being for experimentation is not something that Tus had heard of before coming here. He cannot quite comprehend it.]

Thank you for the warning.

We haven't met, but I believe you know my brother, Dastan. Should you need assistance, do not hesitate to ask.

[Audio] + Translated Text

[tigressina]

You are welcome.

I know Dastan, si. And thank you, that is...appreciated..

[Audio] + Translated Text

[trustedhisheart]

It is nothing. That you are one of my brother's acquaintances is more than enough reason for me to freely offer my assistance.

Even if you were not, such things as you describe should not have been allowed. Were this Persia-

[He cuts off, because it is not, and wishing that to change will do no good.]

I would not wish one such as that to prey upon others, while there was something I could do about it.

[Audio] + Translated Text

[tigressina]

[She is finding she would like to see this Persia, with all the mention of it.]

It is not a pleasant feeling, to be regarded as prey.

[Hunted and killed, one by one...]

[video] -> [Translated text]

[makesowndestiny]

[Have a Dastan looking worried and somewhat baffled, mouth opening but no sound coming forth before he finally shuts it and takes a moment to himself.]

As my brother stated before me, if you need anything, Anna, do not hesitate to ask.

[Concern is in his eyes and tone. It looks as though he's still trying to find the correct things to say.]

How much of a danger is he truly? And he is no threat to those without abilities similar to yours?

[There were a lot of people here Dastan has witnessed who seem to have some special ability. So many that Dastan was worried it would be near impossible to protect them all.]

Whatever you need, tell me and it is done. [This is Dastan's serious tone. Then, he hesitates a small moment before finally asking.] Anna. Are you okay?

[video] -> [Translated text]

[tigressina]

He is a danger mostly only to those with abilities like mine. [And he's not going to stop until he twists her and breaks her, but she doesn't add that. Mads has a personal grudge against Anna, and it runs deep.]

Thank you for your concern. I will handle it.

[And by handle it she means "I'm going to put a bullet in his head".]

[video] -> [Translated text]

[makesowndestiny]

[Yeah... that doesn't sound foreboding at all. It's also a tone from Anna he isn't very used to.]

Anna...

[Yes, his own tone is stronger here in response, though there is also worry gnawing at his belly. He has to make sure she isn't about to do anything stupid. Or dangerous. Dastan conveniently forgets he does both of these things on most occasions.]

[video] -> [Translated text]

[tigressina]

Yes, Dastan?

[Anna's mind won't be changed. If Mads even tests her once, she won't hesitate. She's been carrying that weapon on her since he showed up.]
