No. 6 did a good job covering the main points of the Wicked. Not much more I could add that would matter, other than I’ve read the Wicked’s literature, and I thought it was pretty trite, choice? Speaking of the Wicked’s literature… the Blight. No. 6 only briefly mentioned the Wicked’s greatest strength, the Blight, so I figured I could fill in the gaps a bit, yeah? If there was a proper counter to the Mantle of Eight, it’d be the damn Blight. Heaven and Hell, even Jean was nearly consumed by it more than once. It’s ruthless, restless, and remorseless.
I suppose it’s worth mentioning that I myself am inflicted by the Blight, you know, in case it wasn’t obvious. No. 4 and No. 6 are still clear as far as I know. Probably a benefit of them growing up around the Wicked’s ideologies is that they knew well enough to steer clear of them. To become Blighted, well, it’s actually quite easy. You just have to read the Wicked’s words. For the sake of everyone reading this, I won’t name the work in question, nor where you can find it, nor what is contained within it. I will say that there is a reason the Wicked is called the Yellow Flame. Point is, once you’ve read it, any of it, you’ve marked yourself for madness in the best case—death in the worst.
However, the more you can stomach the bloody thing, the more power you are granted. What power specifically? Rule-breaking power. Rules that break the fundamental laws of the universe. Jean got far enough to let him peer into the Ouroboros, giving him glimpses of the Otherside while in the Flipside. I only got far enough to prevent myself from slipping further into madness. Miss. Masoch evidently got far enough to start bending reality with her “funk.” And that brings me to my main concern, choice?
Dover.
Well. Dover, and another issue that the Palm Beach location has been looking into. Another twit who got a little too cocky and read a little more than they should have. Can’t say more here… especially with the Indigo brats breathing down our necks more than ever now. No offense to the kids, of course. But you lot are brats. Anyway, the only way I can see our issue resolving itself is if we get Dover’s help. But Dover’s not here at the moment. Not sure if the bloke is still trapped in the Phantom Lane or if he convinced Ed to let him screw with his cycle. But, we have No. 71 looking into it, and hopefully, No. 323 can check the House for us.
