Faith, Hope and Love: Still gigling. You seem like a nice person. Actually- are you eating enough?

Meep: To Kat Really?

Pastel: Yep!

Kat: to Faith, Love, and Hope I can vouch for her! to Meep Yeah, she says they make the story more fun.

Hope, Faith and Love: Glance at each other, then shrug in unison. Their movements aren't creepy. They're almost endearing. To Pastel: Okay! But you feel very thin.

Meep: Yeah, that is true… but a well rounded psycopath makes just as good a contribution as well.

Vanya and all eight of her counterparts have joined the chat
Which is to say: Vanya, Gunslinger, Girlboss, Radiant, Princess, Brainiac, Oracle, Senator and Trent have joined the chat

Oracle: looks around, then starts pointing at people Kek, Tuke, Aethea, Luke and whoever that person is are not safe. The otehrs are safe and points at the raccoons they are definitely safe.
Luke: How do you kn0w my name and what does that mean, I'm not safe?
Oracle: groans
Princess: If you say they're not safe and want to avoid interactig with them, DON'T SAY IT OUT LOUD! KEEP IT IN YOUR HEAD.
Oracle: Keep it in my head, she says. You know what else is in my head? A CHAIN REACTION AND SO MANY PATHS AND THE ENTIRE FUTURE SO SHUT UP FOR ONCE YOU WILL NEVER KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE!
Oracle: points at the soup That's also quite safe.

Faith, Hope and Love: Take a look at the newcomers, then look closer at Oracle. Are we safe?

Meep: Am I safe?

Oracle: NO! YES! I DON'T KNOW! Whyy… I had it all figured out and then I interacted….
Oracle: New rule! Never interact with people again! Yup! Oh, wait… NNNNGHH I CAN'T DO THAT THAT WOULD CHANGE TOO MANY THINGS
Princess: sighs Just make up your mind! It's like Trent. Is he going to be a boy or a girl today? Is he going to start randomly changing into anotehr person? Is h-
Trent: THAT'S NOT MY CHOICE AND IT'S THEY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
Gunslinger: wondering whether she should try to shoot the raccoons or not
Oracle: to Faith, Hope and Love You are probably safe. to Meep Give me a second AIGHT EVERYONE SHUT UP SO I CAN SEE WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN!
Vanya: …This is what my life is like. Eight mes, very LOUD-
Senator: I, again, would like to say that I resent being grouped with them. I am not loud and-
Oracle: SHUT UP!

Luke: Okay, but why am I not safe?

Hope, Faith and Love: Grin and nod in unison. They stay silent for the Oracle, casting a spell of silence on everyone else.

Oracle: THANK you. pulls out a long, scroll-like piece of paper and starts scribbling furiously, adjusting things that were already written and filling in every inch possible No! I hate it when this happens… Aight, Meep, you are probably safe and even if you weren't I'm already talking to you so it wouldn't really matter anyways. BUT the future is a fickle thing and if you do something instead of something else, IT WILL ALL CHANGE.
Oracle: to Luke I…. something about a cactus and it hurts my arm it HURTS AND-
Vanya: It's not real. See? Your arm is fine.
Shai: muttering Mine's not.
Luke: CACTUS?

Kat: stares in confusion and continues petting Mister

Pastel: watching the chaos with wide eyes

Faith, Hope and Love: Shrug Good enough for us.

Meep: Shrugs Good enough for me! To Pastel Yup! This is the cults and chats we're in.

Shai: Also, my arm… do any of you know anything whatsoever about this thing on it? Because I have questions and plans and it's gonna be so fun to watch…
Owen: If I didn't know you, I'd say you were planning on taking ove rthe world with your arm.
Oracle: AGHHH. NO.
Gunslinger: Ah, did we forget her medicine again?
Senator: WE? That was YOUR FAULT this time!
Vanya: I thought you weren't loud.
Shai: You are ALL LOUD.

Hope, Faith and Love: Investigate Shai's arm, and then turn and converse among themselves. They chalk a pentacle on the ground, draw in the keys, then summon Belle. Hey… so… what did you do?

Belle: Looks at Shai guiltily. What I am required to do.

Shai: Y-yeah, well it doesn't hurt anymore, but I have questions. Am I supposed to be able to do this, is blood sorcery bad, would it be bad if normal people found out I could do blood magicky stuff, will people be scared of me now?
Oracle: to Belle You're supposed to say yes. For the best future. HAHA I DID SOMETHING ACTUALLY USEFUL WITH THIS
Owen: gasps I KNEW IT IT'LL BE AWESOME YES

Belle: Sighs tiredly. Yes, you are able to do blood magic. Or at least, you have the required mental focus. The mark is to sort of… keep you in check.

Hope, Faith and Love: Sigh. Really, Belle. There are better ways to do that.

Kat: to Pastel Do you have any idea what's going on?

Pastel: I'm getting the sense that it's really complicated.

Meep: Sheepish grin It is very complicated. Suffice to say, Belle is the princess of Hell, with all 9 demon lords as her father, and is insanely powerful. And is bound by Covenant to report and/or mark potential blood magic users.

Belle: Turns to Pastel, confused. I don't remember you. Who are you again?

Pastel: Oh! I'm Pastel. It's nice to meet you! holds out hand for Belle to shake

(Yes, Pastel was talking to me.)

Belle: Looks at the hand. I can't shake your hand. I can't go outside the pentacle.
