Date of Scene: 03 July 2022

Synopsis: Monet gives Alexander a warning to pass along to the other godlings of the threat of the Shadow King
Cast of Characters: Monet St. Croix, Alexander Aaron




Monet St. Croix has posed:
Monet St. Croix has Aaron's contact information through the Themysciran Embassy. Given the last talk M had with Alexander, her requesting to meet him somewhere private might have his curiousity piqued. The girl is sitting out somewhere on a bench where she wanted to meet him. Curiously, if he can sense it, seh's using her telepathy to push anyone else away, giving them some isolation for several dozen meters.

Alexander Aaron has posed:
    The senses of the young Olympian are limited in some ways, giving insight into fear or anxiety, a subtle feel of the world around him. Though the efforts of Monet do cause a ripple. For people wander close in her direction, just walking about their day, only to blank slightly and veer off where they resume their stroll. It's a nice trick, and effective.
    Fairly close to the agreed time she'll likely see his arrival. Strolling down the street, a backpack slung over one arm. His hands are in the pockets of his jeans, and on his chest is a t-shirt that shows a small cartoon cat that holds up a pirate sword and is proclaiming in a thought bubble, 'It's a Mew-Tiny!'
    She's able to watch his approach for a time, perhaps this path chosen for her being able to see him from afar. Then he draws near.
    "Morning."

Monet St. Croix has posed:
Monet St. Croix's not showing any fear. If Alexander can pick up emotions, the girl has a great sense of trouble over on ehr face. As Alexander goes to approach her, she gives a wave, and a wary look around to ensure no one else is in the area. "Thank you for seeing me on such short notice. I wished to pass along a warning. Hopefully something those of your contacts can at least make some use of to protect themselves."

Alexander Aaron has posed:
    "That's kind of you," Alexander says as he looks to the side, then settles down on the seat nearby. Not too close, but not too far either. Though he leans forward, posture shifting to rest his forearms on his knees and lace his fingers together.
    Tilting his head to the side he looks at her, brow furrowed. He didn't know much about Monet beyond the small insights he had gained before, a few words here or there shared with Diana and that strange gal at the mansion.
    "What's going on?"

Monet St. Croix has posed:
Monet St. Croix would lgance around, "SHIELD has been dealing with, among other psychics, an entity called the Shadow King. In the last few weeks there have been a.. Great deal of souls physically rended from bodies and thrown into the astral in various states of insanity. Some of the bodies are physically alive still. This thing is.. essentially some sort of eldritch abomination in the form of a psychic parasite."

Alexander Aaron has posed:
    That causes Alexander's eyes to rise as he looks to her, expression curious and interest piqued. He listens as she informs him and then nods once as he says, "That sounds fucking horrible." Considering some of the things he's encountered doubly so.
    Turning on his seat to look at her more directly, "What do you need from me? I'll relay to Diana, and pass word to the people in my circle." His head tilts, "Is there anything else?"

Monet St. Croix has posed:
Monet St. Croix would nod, "It's doing things purely out of malice and amusement from suffering. It's.. Extremely powerful and skilled, and disembodied. We're not sure, but it's likely extremely old. It's been hunting mages and forcing them to perform rituals for it. While we're not aware of it targeting among the more powerful beings in the realm, if it does so it would be terrifying."

Alexander Aaron has posed:
    Resting his hands on his shin he pulls his leg a little more into his lap. For a brief moment he looks to the left and right, cocking his head to the side as he considers their surroundings, extends his senses ever so subtly to feel that low rumble of the world around them. Then he looks back.
    "I'll pass that on, do you need help right now?" For a moment he looks at the young woman, pale hazel eyes narrowing as he considers her. It wasn't so long ago that he saw her so terribly injured. Now... she at the least seemed to have physically recovered.

Monet St. Croix has posed:
Monet St. Croix would shake her head, "I am fine. I am simply passing along the warning. It only seems to be after psychics and perhaps mages, but given the circumstances it might go after others. No action is necessarily needed for now, but best to pass along it to all."

Alexander Aaron has posed:
    "Alright," Alexander pushes himself to his feet, rising up with tha casual grace. He looks down at Monet and quirks an eyebrow. "You going to be alright? I'm heading to the embassy shortly anyways, you can come along if needs be?" Since she did give a somewhat... off vibe. But impossible to know for sure.
    He does take a moment to sling his backpack back into place and then takes a step back, holding up long enough to hear what she may have to say.

Monet St. Croix has posed:
Monet St. Croix would nod, "Yes. Having.. Other emergencies to deal with makes for a quite effective distraction on things. Emotions can be dealt with later. Now is not the time to have to process them." SHe's being honest on this end.

Alexander Aaron has posed:
    Another step. Hesitance. But then he gives a nod as his eyes remain on her. "Alright. Keep your head on a swivel, Monet." And with that he goes.
