WHO: Ash + the app
WHERE: The app
WHEN: forward-dated to September 7th-ish
WHAT: Ash has some news and will answer some questions
WARNINGS: Ash swears a lot.

[Ash really needs to stop poking supernatural powers because it keeps leaving him feeling like so much shit even if it is worth it.

The video starts with him in his room, looking like he hasn't slept in a day. (If you ask him, passing out and waking up a day after you poke a horned statue does not count as sleeping.) He flops down on his bed with a sigh and his promptly beset by his dog and his Houndour.]

Ashley Cabbot. Former Krusnik victim, former possessed fucker, and [he can't help the exhausted, amazed laugh] former member of the fucking Black Order. Ask me anythin'.

PRIVATE TO CURRENT BLACK ORDER MEMBERS

[He drops a link]

Here. Even if no one else gets outta there, figured everyone else'd want a group chat that ain't being monitored or some shit.

Formerly possessed? How did you manage to expel the demon, then?

[switchaxe]

Pissed it off enough that it tried to take me to the Spirit Realm, which pissed off some people enough to go in an' kick the fucker's ass.

[jackdawvision]

What did you do, insult its mother?

[switchaxe]

Didn't want to keep payin' its price.

[whiteshroud]

Former member of the Black Order?

[switchaxe]

Yeah. Found a way out, and it fuckin' took damn near everything I had but worth it.

[whiteshroud]

Really?

What was the way out? What do you mean it took near everything?

[switchaxe]

There's this statue in Hyrule. It wanted my powers, and I gave them to it, and the Order doesn't have room for someone who ain't got powers.

[whiteshroud]

[................💧]

Ash if you unleashed another ancient evil on that realm after we just cleared out the last one, I swear to God we're going to have words.

[switchaxe]

Wha--come on, why does no one trust me?!

[whiteshroud]

Because I've seen horror stories with this kind of set up....

Fine. What was the statue?

[switchaxe]

Horned Statue in Hyrule. Yeah, it looked like a demon. No, it didn't take my soul. Trust me, I'd know.

[whiteshroud]

Well I can tell that much, you're not a hollow husk. But it took your powers?

[switchaxe]

Most of 'em, yeah. Left the faerie bullshit, though.

[whiteshroud]

[In absolute calm deadpan]

Well of course it did. There's no cure to being gay.

[switchaxe]

[NOPE CRACKING THE FUCK UP HE FELL OFF HIS FUCKING BED THANKS JUN he is still laughing when he responds.]

F-fuck you, holy shit...

[whiteshroud]

[Ah yes that's a good reaction. He's grinning slightly to himself]

You walked yourself into that one, alright.

[switchaxe]

Fuck you.

[Still laughing.]

Shit, that was good.

[whiteshroud]

Thank you.

[:)]

So what will you do now?

[switchaxe]

Not sure. Take time to figure that out, I guess?

[whiteshroud]

Hmmm...fair enough.

[switchaxe]

Yeah. I got time.

[Another breathless laugh.]

I got all the fuckin' time.

[whiteshroud]

[He smiles a little. Yeah, he knows what that must mean for Ash.]

I'm happy for you, truly.

[unreachableside]

[Alright, he's paying attention.]

You must be the one I heard about.

I didn't realize people could leave the Black Order. It seems like something no one wants to be part of.

How did you manage to shed both your possession and your membership?

[switchaxe]

[Oh it's the feral guy.]

I got rid of the asshole a few months ago. It kept raising the price, I got sick of it, it tried to kill me in the spirit realm, an' my family took that personally. Fuckin' sucked.

[unreachableside]

[... No wonder Jusis was so adamant. They must be close.]

What was your price?

[switchaxe]

It wanted to me to fight a lot, once a week or so, and it had to be physical.

[unreachableside]

[He frowns and looks down at his left hand, which is off screen.]

So there's a chance that mine could get worse.

[switchaxe]

[Shit.]

What's your price?

[unreachableside]

My blood. I heal fast, but I'm not invincible.

[switchaxe]

...so, what, are you like a vampire? Is it a vampire?

[unreachableside]

[A scoff.] No.

My blood is a catalyst for the magic it gave me, but it also just enjoys watching me bleed.

[Twisted thing.]

[switchaxe]

Eh, fucker. I dunno if it'll get worse, honestly, it might be the asshole who was in my head just didn't like me trying to settle down. ...it was also some kinda Greek thing from Sparta. That...probably had something to do with it.

[unreachableside]

Mine isn't very cooperative, either.

[Guess he has that to look forward to.]

It thrives off suffering.

[switchaxe]

I think all the fuckers who possess people do. If things start goin' to hell for you, lemme know. Hopefully I'll be able to help more, since the way I got outta the Order was giving up pretty much all the powers and shit I had.

[unreachableside]

I don't intend on giving up anytime soon.

[This kid just inviting himself along, huh. Still... this is hope. He's not sure how to feel about it.]

If something happens to me, Jusis will be the first to figure it out.

I'm Blade. [Is being possessed a requirement for getting a cool name? You decide.]

[switchaxe]

[Sir you have been adopted by his former coworkers and dad. Yeah, he's inviting himself along.]

Ash.
