Some number of Riftwatch's members are, presently, envy demons in disguise. Better find them.


RECAP
Previously, all these things happened on one day actually:

• Julius was poisoned and Flint, Yseult, and Marcus killed the culprit.
  
• Marcus ordered the Gallows on lock-down. No one's allowed to leave, but Riftwatch members outside the Gallows at the time are required to return.
  
• Yseult announced the possible presence of shape-changing imposters.
  
• Byerly encouraged identifying people who might be affected.
  
• Templars had a huddle.

Comments

[elegiaque]

Involuntarily— “Ugh, that's disgusting,” is sort of rich coming from the third of this party who'd managed to stay almost entirely out of snagging distance of this fight. As the demon begins to melt she takes a few steps further backward, instinctively, her toes curling underneath her bare feet, the thought of stepping in it more than horrifying.

“We should— the baths—”

And report it, but also, doesn't Clarisse want to not have this on her immediately.

“It's getting in your hair—”

[laruetheday]

It is disgusting. A rancid, rotten smell and a sick, warm wetness all dripping all over the front of her, in her hair, on her clothes.

Clarisse makes a disgusted ugh noise and pushes what's left of the body off of herself. It feels like plunging both hands into a rotten melon that's been sitting out in the sun, but the last of the demon's skin sloughs away from her to puddle on the icy floor.

She's kneeling on the ice, watching it happen. Distantly, she can hear the pattering of her own blood hitting the floor.

"Ugh," she says again. She wants to spit, even though she's pretty sure nothing got in her mouth. "Okay. We need to let someone know we killed it. And that someone's going to need to clean this up." And then she will take a bath, or whatever.
