[ Early evening on day #2, everyone gets a gift from Jessica Jones; Mass addressed as urgent, though without any audible alerts, ignoring it requires no effort. If she'd had the wherewithal to take one at the time, there would be a photograph preceding the text, but shit happens. And then the body of shit mysteriously disappears. So all caps will have to do. ]

DANGEROUS RESIDENT WARNING
HOUSE 10, KEVIN THOMPSON
AKA "KILGRAVE"
Description: 6'0", Caucasian, thin, brown hair, brown eyes, age 38.

If you have any interaction with a man introducing himself as "Kilgrave" DO NOT LET HIM SPEAK TO YOU. Kevin Thompson has the biological ability to COMPEL AND CONTROL BEHAVIOR
in people and has used this ability in the past to commit and to influence innocent people to commit the following:

- MUTILATION UP TO AND INCLUDING MURDER
- SELF-HARM UP TO AND INCLUDING SUICIDE [frequently conditional, insurance for his own well-being]
- CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT
- FORCED DRUG ADDICTION
- SERIAL SEXUAL ASSAULT

He claimed the lives of more than 6 victims in less than a month, including his own parents, and in his lifetime has left a trail of countless shattered lives. His ability functions like a VIRUS and CAN LAST UP TO 24 HOURS, affecting anyone within 100 YARDS WHO CAN UNDERSTAND HIS SPOKEN COMMAND, SILENT OR NOT -- confirmed by an arrival here. ONCE YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN A COMMAND, YOU WILL CARRY IT OUT, regardless of how much you don't want to: He has compelled one of his victims to murder her parents and shown no remorse even when taken into custody. THE ONLY METHOD TO DENY A COMMAND WITHOUT COMPLETING IT IN 24HRS IS TO KILL HIM.

Anyone without a human circulatory system seems to be immune. And wizards. If you know anyone who can't be compelled, make them aware of the susceptibility of any others in your house.

IF YOU SEE HIM, WALK THE OTHER WAY, AND IF YOU DON'T, THAT'S BECAUSE HE'S DEAD. I killed him a few hours ago. If it sticks, it's been my pleasure wasting your time.


[ This has officially been the most extra moment of her entire life. The message took a while in drafting and it hasn't been a dry process. Responses will be decidedly less cogent and neutrally phrased. Surely she can't be available to field questions that long, anyway, assuming Reims has some sort of police force (maybe?) and/or justice system (nahh). ]

[ threadhop if you want! do whatever, just don't bring in any real world politics, obvi ]

That's quite the set of accusations.

[She knows it's dangerous to take things at face value. But... the specificity of this warning (outlandish as it sounds. what is this, a superhero flick?) is what cements Lu Li's belief in it.]

THEN WON'T YOU BE IN DANGER?

Oh, and here everyone was talking about how this group all needs to work together just a few days ago.

Let me ask for clarification, his understanding his 'spoken' command... does that mean lip reading or does the device text count?

[Well, shit. Faith's met him already. And was compelled by him once already, now that she thought about it.]

I met him. At the town meeting.

He's dead?

[The mention of robots has her hesitate.

No. She won't bring that up just yet.]


A SMALL COMFORT. BUT HE WILL STILL BE FREE TO GO WHERE HE LIKES.
imitationsoul: (She said)

[personal profile] imitationsoul 2018-01-21 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
That makes this a pretty convenient world to encounter him in, doesn't it?

It's easier to avoid looking at lips than to avoid hearing an unexpected phrase spoken fast, I imagine.

[She's a little unsure how to take that she's murdered the guy, considering her own past. But at the same time she can understand if he'd done the things above]

He did talk to me, yeah. [And she'd probably overshared with him, considering. He knew way too much about her if this was all true.]

He told me to come meet him at his house, but he wasn't there when I did. I was real eager to go too. I did think it was kinda weird that I wanted to go so bad, but I didn't really think about it until now

[once Kilgrave is dead, Kara's staggering in her room, hurrying to her bed to quietly catch her fall. She sits with her head between her knees, taking in deep breaths. What is going on?

How did she forget she's Supergirl? That's the most important thing about her. She can't just forget...

Then she remembers her glasses, the shame of wearing them, of being embarrassed. She rips them off her face, intent on throwing them across the room, but she stops herself at the last moment, dropping them to the mattress and then digging her hands into it, her fingers sinking through the cloth as she holds on and tries not to panic.

Okay... okay... it's fine. Except it's not. Shoot, Kilgrave, she told him about herself. About what she can do. One hand goes to her chest. Her heart is pounding against her ribs and she puts her other hand over her mouth to stifle the sound of her breathing.

it's not long after that that a light flashes on the top of her device. something is happening in the network. her hand shakes as she holds it, swiping to the message, her eyes growing wider and wider as she reads it.

she feels sick.

oh God. He knows everything about her. How did his powers work on her? Shakily, she types out:]


Did it stick?

[a moment later, she has to add, even though the woman's admitting to murder...]

Are you all right?

Holy crap, I thought he was a mobster. Can he control animals too?

[She said human circulation. That makes this strange in this case.

He did talk to the guy. He knows there are things out there that can manipulate people. That can make them do bad things. Outright control though is really, really above and beyond.

She murdered him. He vanished. So is that like when the Sound Eaters get you?]

[Kilgrave had given 9S an uneasy vibe from the moment he met him, but he never imagined it would culminate in something like this. He's shaken, at a complete loss as he tries to reconcile this information with his standing knowledge humanity.

Of his creators.

He shakes his head.]


Why? Why would he do something like that?

[ Oh delightful. ]

Sounds like an acquaintance of mine from back home. Sans the ac ... well actually just say it sounds like an acquaintance of mine from back home.

Thank you for the warning.
xochipilli_cursed: (Wuuuuhhh?)

[personal profile] xochipilli_cursed 2018-01-21 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh. Well. That's not great.]

So if he's not dead-dead is he just going to send a bunch of people to go after you?
