Hi. This is Aloy. Wherever I am, I can't talk. It's probably better to text, anyway.

we need to talk.

un: aloy

[toomuchridgewood]

What about?

[oorah]

this is that asshole who lives in your garage by the way.

did you see jessica jones post on the network?

[toomuchridgewood]

Oh, hi. No. I don't pay a lot of attention to the network. Why?

[oorah]

hey.
there is a man here named kevin thompson. he goes by kilgrave because he thinks he's some kind of badass or something.
i can show you a rendition of him, he's dangerous. you should steer clear.

[toomuchridgewood]

I appreciate your concern, but I can handle myself. Especially against one man.

[oorah]

yeah no shit.
he isn't just a guy though. he has superpowers. he can make anyone do whatever he wants them to.
if he can do it to me, he can do it to you. just giving you a heads up this isn't because you're a lady alright?

[ people need to quit it with that shit around him!! ]

[toomuchridgewood]

what's a superpower? is he really strong or something?

[oorah]

don't have that where you're from?
people who get dressed in their pajamas and fight crime?

[ she's probably better off... ] he isn't strong. physically. but that doesn't matter.
he can make you believe you want to do whatever it is he wants to do.
just by telling you to do it.

[toomuchridgewood]

no. nobody does anything like that. don't you have guards or matriarchs to deal with that?

[ What a bizarre method of governance. ]

so is he a shaman or a king or something like that? how does he convince people to do what he wants them to do?

[oorah]

he just can. it's a virus that infects you just from being near him.

just don't go near him, that's all i was trying to say. [ jesus christ this conversation was not supposed to become a workout aloy ]

[toomuchridgewood]

a virus that makes you do what he wants you to do? that kind of corruption only works on machines. people don't work that way.

[ Although now she's protesting because the thought of something like HADES working on human beings is deeply, deeply troubling. ]

[oorah]

yeah well his does.
so be careful

[toomuchridgewood]

how does that work? where does it come from?
