third scream ♚ video ♚ both courts.

[amplified]

( the look on lydia's face is both determined and harried. she's discovered something about the lawkamercyme, as well as herself. her voice is a harsh whisper, and she seems to be creeping around just outside of caer glaem. )

I can kill them. By myself, I can -- ( she sees one of the creatures approaching. quickly, she sets her locket down. in the frame is a massive lawkamercyme. in the background, there are two or three smaller ones approaching. lydia rights herself and approaches slowly, her back to the locket. but it's clear she's going to face them head on. and they notice her. she just so happened to catch one of the nymphs shouting the name of the creatures before falling unconscious, and just hours prior, she found herself hunted by one of the fearsome things. she opened her mouth and channeled her banshee abilities and screamed its name, and it disappeared. so now, as all four of them turn toward her, she draws a deep breath.

through the network of lockets everyone will be able to hear a piercing scream, recognizable as the name 'lawkamercyme'. supernatural beings will pick up on her scream even without their lockets, as her voice is capable of traveling over at least two to three miles of distance to those with heightened hearing. the shadows seem to be jolted by her voice, and in just a matter of moments, they disappear. vanished. gone. after she's sure the coast is clear she turns, breathless, back to the network. )

I can destroy them.

[ If Oscar hadn't been aware of a problem before, he was now and indeed, he nearly dropped his locket when that ear splitting scream came across the tiny piece of jewelry.

After a long moment, he opened up one eye and then the next as the silence faded in the calm of a woman's quiet declaration and he responds, tentatively, to her broadcast. ]

Are you all right, miss? You seem to have had quite the harrowing experience.

[ as did everyone else, but if she was safe and that... thing was now gone, he would count the ringing in his ears a small price to pay! ]

...pretty impressive range. [Ryan knows screams, but that definitely was a different caliber than a temper tantrum scream. He's just staring at the video feed while he's watching Lydia and it's clear that he's genuinely impressed.] How?

video. here at last

[infame]

Clever girl.

[They're frightened of him, the same way they are the dogs. But Lydia's clever - perhaps the prediction of death frightens them just as much. ]

video;

[A small vial of light sits around her neck, lighting the screen. Lucrezia sits in her rooms, lavish but protected enough. It is too unsafe to leave now even if the light gives her some help. Still she has little else.]

That is impressive. You seem unscathed. By what magic are you able to do that?

[aliased]

[ hands over ears for a moment] Was that you???

video; sorry this is so late boo, i completely spaced

[overdraws]

...Lydia!? [ Because. Shit. She'd left Lydia alone, without thinking, and she feels bad for it. The forest around her is moving at a rapid pace as she runs. ] Lydia, where are you!?

[noirant]

[ Felix's wince is still fading, his hands -- until recently -- very clearly clamped over his ears. ]

Lovely. Fascinating. The opera will certainly be calling -- you couldn't give us a bit of warning?

[ziggyzoggy]

[The audio pops in with a bit of a pained grunt, but at least she gets to miss the undignified yelp and subsequent stuffing-of-pillows against ears.]

How'd ya do that?
