If anyone happens to come across a large creature with tentacles in Jeopardy do not approach it. stay very far away, whatever you do, don't touch it.

don't let it touch you.

they're - dangerous. they're used as a method of torture and can read your minds. mess with your memories. it's not pleasant.

trust me when I say this and avoid it all costs.

[flightforfreedom]

Fuck. Where is it?

Is there a way to kill it?

Voice, private.

[onlydoubts]

Jeopardy. I think there's more than one. Some local was talking about seeing one.

Yes.

[ a moment later: ]

No.

[ Then: ]

I don't know.

question one: what the hell is that thing??? is that the maran thing the govt was talking about?

[onlydoubts]

Yes, those are the ones. Though I didnt really have name for them before.

[choosetruth]

I realize we're a community of superpowered morons, but is this really a warning that needs to be given? I mean, that thing looks about as cuddly as I am.

text

[onlydoubts]

I don't know if it needs to be given or not, but I'm giving it anyways.

All it takes is someone getting even a little too close out of curiosity.

[honeybadgered]

that sounds like not the creature's fault

it didn't ask to be used like that

[onlydoubts]

I realize that, but it doesnt make it any less of a danger. I wouldn't say I know what these things are like outside of captivity.

[ they could be friendly! but he's not gonna take that chance if it saves someone from getting their brains scrambled. ]

[What great timing! Monsters have a knack for showing up at the worst moment.]

I bet a lightsaber would work on it just fine.

[onlydoubts]

Maybe?

That'd require trying to find one which I don't really recommend...

[ who's he kidding, go lightsaber it away. ]

If you don't let it touch you or wrap it's tentacles around you, you might stand a chance.

[fauxmarth]

Do you know of any of its weaknesses? Surely some of us have the ability to get rid of it before it can cause serious harm. Letting it lie may not be the wisest of decisions...

voice

[onlydoubts]

I don't really know what kind of weakness it has. The encounter I had was.

Brief.

voice;

[hellogoodhigh]

Aww, it looks friendly.

[ And items very reminiscent of whatever horror creeps under Ben’s skin. Which is to say something that doesn’t particularly frighten Klaus. ]

voice;

[onlydoubts]

It's not.

And if that's your idea of friendly then I wouldn't want to see what you consider dangerous.

[solarcharged]

Do you need someone to get rid of it?

text

[onlydoubts]

I think there's several. More than one. They're "a protected species", apparently.

Wouldn't have any qualms here if they suddenly disappeared.

text;

[fireandhoney]

Great. More tentacles.

[onlydoubts]

Common problem for you?

[faithfulson]

Wait.

Those things are REAL?!

I thought Han was pulling my leg when he told me about them!

text »

[onlydoubts]

Yes, they're real. Unfortunately.

How does Han know of them?

[by_candlelight]

I can not begin to tell you how happy I am I'm not in Jeopardy. That said, do these things count as animals?

Actually, I'm not really sure I want to offer to communicate with them even if they do, since they can mess up memories with just physical touch. I'm kind of scared about what type of damage could be done with an open emotional connection.

[onlydoubts]

They're being treated as protected wildlife, so I'd assume they're considered as much.

I couldn't speak to the effects, so my suggestion is avoid trying.

[deformer]

dude, that thing is ugly as shit

[onlydoubts]

You're not wrong.

[obediences]

Do you know if they try to eat people?

[ The voice has a sort of light, academic interest to it. Luther doesn't sound quite as horrified as he should, probably. Growing up with a brother who channels tentacled monsters will do that. ]

audio

[onlydoubts]

Uh, no. Not really that I'm aware of.

[ FORTUNATELY, the one he met didn't seem to have a taste for flesh. or had already been fed. either way, it's probably better he can't answer this one... he doesn't want to know.

and hopefully people will take his warning so nobody else has to figure out that answer for themselves. ]
