24th Devotion: Quelling Rumors

[Solomon frowns, staring at the monitor in disgust at

I suppose this is someone's idea of a joke. Is that supposed to be me?

[He types a few commands into the keyboard, but the image plastered on the screen and transmitted over the network refuses to be erased.]

Honestly. How dumb do you think people are? This photograph has clearly been doctored to make it look like... well. Preposterous, to think of Hagi and myself being in such a situation.

[Calling over his shoulder, he speaks to someone who is off-screen.]

Hagi... have you seen this? There's a picture of you on the network, although what you were doing (or with whom), I don't even want to conjecture. Do you have anything you want to say about it?

[He sits back, crossing his arms deeply in thought.]

Either someone has it in for one of us (seeking to discredit us or cause us embarrassment), or this is something more wide scale. A curse perhaps. Although I don't see how something physical of this nature could be called a curse rather than some sick fabrication.



[ooc: Solomon once again finds himself the victim of a curse. This time it's 'TABLOID TRASH'. Feel free to show no mercy when it comes to this, as just last week he was suffering a 48 hour curse that could make this photo VERY plausible!]

[He smiles gently at her comment.]

It means that the thing you're seeing in the photograph did not actually happen. Someone created it to make it look real.

[She looks at him curiously.]

People can do this?

Oh yes. Technology can do amazing things...

Technology still confuses me at times.

It can be difficult with how quickly things change. Marishka... how is your arm? Do you want me to take a look at it again? Or to treat it as I did before? I blame myself that you came to harm while in my apartment...

It does not burn now. And I do not see scar nor injury...

It hurt so then.

I'm so sorry... I should have stopped him before you came to harm. Please forgive me.

I do not understand why Solomon apologizes. There is no need.

I feel protective of you, Marishka.

I understand now. But I am well.
