[Walkabout] The Zeddening

[willyousee]

Zed, what have you done?!

[Alcuin's not bothering to address him directly. Let the whole Network hear this idiocy.]

Blessed-Be is practically falling apart she is so frightened! A great evil tearing her husband into damnation? She thinks you may be after the children! What in the name of everything truly holy did you do to her?!

Mr. Sparkles! It is your sworn duty to harass him until he is "vanquished", is that understood?

[Alcuin doesn't do angry very often but he sure is now.]

My plan was to see if it was possible to create bars of tangible light and cage him at the edge of the sea where the tide comes in just high enough to soak his ankles every few hours. Yours is likely kinder. Keeping him in liminal space gives us greater control over what has happened and what might come out while we are still present.

I shall at least make notes of where there are contradictions in the books, but I... I cannot make the changes. It may be stupid, and I hate what is happening here as much as anyone else, but I cannot do it, Riddick.

Then you fuck off and let me do it. I got no qualms about it, at this point, now that we got a good reason to.

[He might let Vilari or somebody with actual morals help, though. Since he's still not sure what exactly those are.]

My plan with Zed is easier, too. Think I'll just go with that. And if he gets too annoying in liminal space before the Jaunt's over, I'll infiltrate him.

[willyousee]

I'll give it to you as soon as I can.

Excellent. Keep him isolated from making even more trouble, please.

[itsananimalthing]

Sure. I'll just lock him up in the forge.

2 minutes later [Private x2]

[willyousee]

[Flatly.]

I'm going to kill him.

[Private forever]

[itsananimalthing]

No, you're not. We need him alive to give back to his wife. Remember? If he's makin' you that mad, let me get over there and take him off your hands.

... what'd he do now, though? You got me curious.

[Private forever]

[willyousee]

Fine. I'll just throttle him. I can heal away the bruises afterward.

He doesn't think he's done anything wrong! At all! He doesn't think this is a problem! He would keep doing this if we let him! He thinks this is all some elaborate joke!

[itsananimalthing]

Do you know anything about Zed? Does that actually surprise you at all?

[Because it doesn't surprise Riddick.]

[willyousee]

No. It doesn't. And that. is. the. problem. You may wish to hurry.

[He's icy cold, but that doesn't stop it from sounding like a snarl.]

[itsananimalthing]

I'm almost there. Try not to kill him, princess.
