[ It's safe to say that Ariadne has never been this upset about anything in her entire life. She tends to smile, with large, gentle eyes. She does not tend to look murderous.

She does today.

Her trust has been broken, betrayed. Her people have been caught in the storm that Reynard started. Her mind has been violated, her companion dead.

When she speaks, her voice starts out calm. Cold. ]

So. When were we all going to start sharing what we know about the Cult of the Fox?

[ A breath and then she snarls. ]

Because it turns out they're wearing shard masks that let them look like anyone and they can get into your memories and mind control you to the point that you'll hang yourself.

[ It takes a tremendous amount of effort not to throw something. ]

That lying little fuck and those like him know how to use shards even when they're masks. If we don't stop sitting on our information then they're going to tear us apart from the inside. Do not trust anyone without- somehow verifying it's them, though I don't know how when they can do that much.

If you're staying at Diasbaile -- get to work or get out. I don't know how many people might still be under his spell but he's destroyed wards and rooms on the top two floors, read what was in my office if he didn't just steal it.

Everyone- be on your guard. And share your information, because otherwise we're all fighting this blind and then everyone is dead.

You need to get out of the Station. Just in case. Bucky's with me, he- we're not okay, he was with me when it happened, neither of us remember anything after a point. But we'll look after each other; he at least knows I'm me.

Gaff died in the Battle of Falling Fire. It was a cultist all along. Grell, can you watch Diasbaile? I can only assume that he'll know what I would do, but he didn't get in your head.

[ she's heard whispers of the cult of the fox. not quite immersing herself within another gang history will forget years down the line, she doesn't know too much about them. but if katherine knows one thing, though, it's mind control. ]

I can try and help you find out how many people are still under his spell.

[ out of the goodness of her heart does she offer. being a traveller witch in a past life, and knowing how the witches of now summon their own magic, she's had a few bouts of practicing with what she had been given in the drabwurld. besides, sometimes being nice ends with karma not being such a great, big bitch. ]

[ she shrugs, it evident in her voice, ] Maybe even break it.

I'd appreciate it. I don't know if what he did to the natives involved his shard or not, I don't know if it went away when it went away for us...

[ She doesn't know enough of anything, and that terrifies her. ]

[ katherine would like to think it's that easy. the moment ariadne broke from her own compulsion, the rest of those near her did, too. but katherine knows all too intimately life never works out well when one makes lemonade from the lemons it tosses toward them. ]

How do you know they've been affected? [ as far as she knows, when one's compelled by magic or even a vampire, they're unaware of a lot. it's what had made it fun to toy with matt, making him turn on his best friend as he wasn't even aware of how his own nature had changed. ] When you look back on the last few days, were they acting oddly?

I could see it, before I confronted the man who did this. Their eyes seemed... glazed. I don't know if there was anything before then; I didn't notice anything, at least. I'm not seeing anything now, either, but... you can't be too careful.

[ Not after what he did. ]
