VIDEO | MIRRORNET ; 2/15, info dump for quisma & holiday
Listen up, guys, this is important. [ he's never really been a huge fan of Big Talks, and prefers to leave that kind of junk to newt and minho. "be careful, don't die". that's a good way to go about it. kate's better at it too. but this really isn't about thomas's comfort level with attention. the talks that are just rattling off facts are fine, but this is kind of more serious. ] There's a couple shanks-- people we know, sort of, that are probably gonna die if we can't figure something out to help. At least one of them is gonna be shucked, and we're running out of time on it.
[ good job, thomas, great start, way to not sound socially inept. ]
I didn't want to put this up on here, because we were worried about the security on the Mirrornet, but I don't think there's a lot of choice, and besides, nothing's come out of it yet. At least as far as what we can see. [ he and kate had talked it over, and considering the importance of getting this out, and the lack of any other real resource outside of getting emma frost to be their new internet, this is it. ]
Anyway, about a couple weeks back, Jesse helped me with a power boost to contact Holiday telepathically. [ he's obviously a little awkward feeling about saying that - the telepath part. he's aware it's not anyone's favorite power, and he's tried not to talk about it much if he didn't have to since getting here. welp, cat's out of the bag, this is too important. ] Guy's head was an total mess. I couldn't make a lot of sense out of it, but Dr. Chilton, maybe you can. Or any of the rest of you. [ whom he already sent the transcript to. thomas takes a minute to clear his throat, hands fidget where they're lying on the desk in front of him, phone propped up against some books. ]
Thing is, though, halfway through, Holiday went quiet, and Salvatore Quisma showed up. If you guys don't remember who that was, there was an article leaked a while back talking about how Holiday came out of a coma right about the same time Quisma was reported dead. He was an imPort who did a lot to improve imPort relations and benefits in the country - his power was possession, and that's what ended up with Quisma sharing a headspace with Holiday. Said it probably saved his life.
You guys remember back in the swear-in months ago, how people were saying they talked to Quisma's ghost? That was something he tried, seeing if he could part from Holiday for a while, using astral projection - another power of his. Quisma was saying he thinks that's probably what started to cause Holiday's mind to go all whacked. But Quisma's power is fading out, and he's probably not gonna be able to hold on for long. And if he goes, he doesn't really know what's gonna happen to Holiday.
We can't just pull Quisma out without a good way to keep him going at least as a projection, or without knowing what'll happen to Holiday if he loses Quisma supporting him. So we need people who know this kinda klunk. Ideas, information, anything.
I've got a transcript of how the conversation went. If you want a look, lemme know, and I can run a copy to you, or get a technopath to try to secure the hell out of this junk. I'm not sure if the government shanks know they've got Holiday and Quisma, or if they're stupid to the whole thing, but if they are, I'd rather it stay that way.
[ he takes a breath, letting it out slowly, as he looks down at his hands. ]
Quisma and Holiday both put a lot of effort and took a lot of risk in trying to help us out here. I think we owe them something for that. If just trying to save a couple lives isn't enough for you.
[[ ooc; feel free to comment around and threadjack, ain't no thang, thomas doesn't know wtf he's doing with this anyway. the conversation he's talking about is here, by the way. ]]

If Quisma is dead, trying to keep him tied to life will do more harm than good. If we can get access to him... If I'm not strong enough to heal Holiday, one of the others probably is. And if Quisma is weakening even tied to a living body, I don't think simply putting him in another one will solve the problem. He may simply have been on borrowed time ever since his physical body died. [Unless Quisma suddenly starts draining people's life force.]
Voice
So, what, you want us to just shove him out of Holiday and let him fade out?
Voice
Most of the methods I know for allowing a spirit to survive without a living body involve killing the living to take their life-force. At best, I could force him into a kind of stasis- he'd stop fading, but he'd also be- 'asleep' is the best way I can phrase it.
Voice - so sorry for the wait! i ended up taking an unexpected hiatus ;;
Stasis might be the best for now. Until we can find another way.
