[Flagged to the police force -- public]

Hey everyone, remember that passover scare we had awhile ago? Some of us sacrificed lambs, some of us saved them, some of us just ignored them?

Everyone in that first group- the sheep are after you in particular. All you pacifists can feel free to laugh in our faces. I still believe we were justified.

And I'm not sure if this means the pacifists are safe. I personally wouldn't test out that theory. As with most angry mobs, I'm pretty sure this one won't care about collateral damage.


So- I know not everyone's going to go for it, but if anyone wants some help getting around the City, let me know.

And don't think you won't have any problems, just because they're sheep, or because you know how to fight. They're getting better at using distractions to try and attack from another side. Unless you can keep them away from you entirely, you're not safe.

[ooc: Of course, my net decides to go wonky right after I post this. Apologies if tags are slow or drop out. Feel free to assume seeing Sylar running around town or helping your character out. He's still in a bad mood from Mother's Day and may be enjoying bisecting sheep more than he should be. >_> ]

You forgot one important detail.

[makes-you-tick.livejournal.com]

And I'm sure you're about to tell me what that is.

[valentineluke.livejournal.com]

Because you took out a vampire hunter, I'm going to be charitable and overlook the sarcasm.

The infected, whose numbers are growing.

Pacifism? Wouldn't their culpability be a better way to describe it? Those who committed the crime versus those who refused to do it...

...Why am I perceiving this as a religious plague now? Hmm... Well, that would go well with the whole Passover theme of the curse in which the sheep came to us originally.

[ooc; this is what happens when you're studying for a class on the perception of disease historically...]

You think butchering lambs was a crime?

To us? Maybe not... They're just "cattle" if you will: foodstock or protection in this case... but to them? Murder. That's how my kind basically saw the killing of a human... so the concept of looking from both perspectives should apply.

I had wondered if that might be the connection behind these attacks.

I say we were justified. The plagues followed the pattern laid out in the Old Testament. I wouldn't have been at all surprised if the 'deities' had carried it out completely. That they didn't was the real surprise. We were perfectly justified, given our expectations.

[makes-you-tick.livejournal.com]

I've talked to the one in charge- seems that it is.

And that's exactly what I told her. We only have the deities' ridiculous rules and curses to go by here. If they set rules and then change them- especially if the price is a few lambs for our lives- they can't expect us not to try and save ourselves.

Which is what I'm doing now, as well.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

It does explain it.

You know, the last time this sort of thing happened, it was because the 'deities' had broken the rules and their higher-ups or whatever they are had to come and try to set things to rights. That was what happened a year ago when Adrastus and his mother paid a visit. And I think that was the same story when the man who said he was the architect of the City appeared.

Could that be happening again? We're the victims here when the 'deities' are the ones who made the mistake.

I think we've every reason in the world to fight back.

No one is safe, ever.

[makes-you-tick.livejournal.com]

Especially in this City. Good point.

You staying inside, Nancy?

[eastwick-bitch.livejournal.com]

No. What good is hunting indoors.

Thank you, Mr. Sylar. That makes the sheep-lady's words mean a little more. Apparently due is due...

You're welcome. Not that it helps us a great deal, people are still getting attacked and infected. But at least we know a little more.

This happened once before, someone pointed out. There was a hair monster, after the deities demanded that we do all sorts of strange things. I don't quite remember the details, but they're probably on record somewhere.

All that says to me is that we should stop listening to the deities entirely. Of course, I was pretty much there already.

No, it helps. We can try to tailor the suppression a little bit better this way.

I see. I'll see if I can't have someone take a look through the records, find some kind of solution for it.

As much as I'd enjoy that, given the chaotic state we're in as a small society, I'm not sure it makes much difference. Whether we listen or not, these things seem to keep happening. Not to mention the fact that we've never seen this particular one before. Is she even a deity?

[dreamsofnoah]

Ooh, so that's why they keep on trying to eat me.

[makes-you-tick.livejournal.com]

Yep, that'd be why.

[dreamsofnoah]

Oh well. At least they're useful!

[holymadonna.livejournal.com]

We were justified, but perhaps so is flock, Gabriel.

[makes-you-tick.livejournal.com]

Too bad I don't care about their point of view at the moment.

[holymadonna.livejournal.com]

No, neither do I. It was fair to mention.

[coffeenspeed.livejournal.com]

I feel a little guilty. I couldn't kill that lamb so Thomas did it for me... And now, the sheep had ignored me and he had to fight his way to safety...

Are you... Are you okay?

[ooc: clings to Sylar like a clingy clinger that clings]

[makes-you-tick.livejournal.com]

Don't feel guilty. None of this is fair or makes any sense. It's certainly not your fault.

I'm fine. How about you?

[coffeenspeed.livejournal.com]

Easier said than done. Especially when there's nothing I can do to help.

Nothing much. I've been working on some designs I want to try out and... that's pretty unimportant since we're facing rabid sheep and plague.

Laaate sorry ;_;

[cold_dry_pieces]

Well.
