Tec / Comms Room
Kevin waved a greeting at those who'd entered and then looked over at Harbinger, hesitating a bit before addressing her comments and hoping she didn't go ape-shit on the room in general and him in particular. "It's... probably a little more complicated than that and my reasoning is kind of thin."
"I came to see you in the shooting range, because of a dream. Nightmare, I guess," Kevin explained her and the rest of the room. "The setting was kind of unclear. You had your toothy, drooly aspect on. Your, uh, other self had it's limbs around my neck. Your human face appeared and you were trying to stop your other self from killing me. During this I saw Belial and some other weird figure behind you. I felt my neck snap and woke up. That's why I went to see you despite our, uh, difficulties. I wanted to see your face. I wanted to know if the name "Evelyn" meant anything to you. Especially about the name because it just appeared in my head. I saw your human face and the name I knew it as in the dream was "Evelyn."
"It was like a telepathic thing. Karin used to do shit like that sometimes. She'd study a building layout and just put the layout into your brain like you'd known it all along."
"
He broke eye contact with Harbinger and addressed the room as a whole. "Now, for the rest of you, something like that might be a threat, a warning, maybe a trick to sew distrust. And that was part of it, I'm sure. But coming from Belial, it was also maybe an offer. On the spectrum of the bad shit that can happen with Belial, murder by neck-snap isn't such a bad thing. It's quick and fairly painless. In a dictionary for phrases, there should be a picture of that grinning motherfucker next to the phrase, "Worse than death."
Kevin turned his attention back to Harbinger. "Dream aside, you fit the kind of project or "art" as he'd call it, that he'd make. Abused. Raped. Tortured from a young age. I don't know any details about how you and your, uh, other half got together. But after ward you start going after pedos like the fucker who went after you. And it feels kinda good to hit back. Of course, you're not really healing or getting better. You still have all that rage, guilt, fear and pain festering away inside and now the only thing you can really do to get a little relief from all that is to find a pervo and drag him into his own private hell with you as the Devil. So, you're suffering and the only way to feel better is to make other people suffer even worse for a little while. That's classic Belial. He might not have done it or even been involved, but it's absolutely something he'd do. When William gets here to do the briefing, you might want to think back and see if anyone resembling him entered your family's orbit. Maybe he gave your abuser an encouraging word or two to kick things off."
"Plus, there's your other half being in a full-on killing rage about me," Kevin continued. "Why? I've never met you before I entered this building that I know of. Hell, I've never run into anything like you two. And I'm sure as shit not a diaper sniper. Maybe Belial has a link to your roommate there and the link goes two ways, so it feels his emotions. And Belial's emotions about me are probably gonna involve a shit-ton of rage. Which gives me an idea."
He looked over at White Witch. "There's this book series called The Dresden Files about a wizard. One of things in the books is that if somebody draws a circle around themselves and empowers it with magic or for a human, a bit of their own blood, it cuts them off from magical effects and influences. Can you do that? Or do something like that? Maybe see if you can break any links that are affecting Harbinger from the outside?"
