video; [front dated by a few days]; cw: talk of what the minotaur did on the tdm

[trustheart]

[Chris's familiar Mercury the crow is up to his old tricks, flipping Chris's smartphone on with his claws and starting the video recording as she receives a certain bit of bad news.]

THE MINOTAUR DID WHAT TO LOWERTOWN'S WATER?!

[The words are so loud they can be heard outside of the house Chris shares with several other people... and down the street, probably. It's almost like a bomb going off. And then there's those of you who have to deal with it coming out of your phones.

Impressive, really.]

Yeeeah... It was pissed so it took a piss.

[To put it bluntly.]

[trustheart]

FUCKING BULLSHIT I KNEW ONE OF THOSE "INVADE CELLIWIG" IDIOTS WOULD CAUSE TROUBLE FOR ALL OF US

[A beat.]

Wait, how did this get posted...?

[birdflipping]

Maybe it took a tinkle on your phone too, and now it's on the fritz?

...what did the minotaur do?

[Adelle hasn't heard yet.]

[trustheart]

Oh geez! Uhm, well, you see...

...

It used the fountain as a bathroom.

[everydayeveryway]

EW! EWWWW!!

Whyyyyyy! The poor fountain!

The poor people!

[Er. This sounds more than a little troubling, especially considering everything else going on.]

The water supply was affected?

[trustheart]

Yeah. The whole thing has to be purified or decontaminated, or whatever.

[standvastig]

[The whole thing? It's not like it's a tiny amount of water or something.]

That ... must have been a considerable amount of contamination. I had wondered if there was another attack, with all the movement on the streets.

Apparently hurling rocks wasn't enough, so he switched to poisoning the water supply.

[With urine. Why this. Why any of this.]

He seems to be trying a one-Minotaur siege.

[trustheart]

You really think he's smart enough for that? Then what the hell's he gonna do next?!

voice; un: hello

[luminatus]

Hey, when you gotta go, you gotta go.

[trustheart]

Not in something connected to people's motherfucking drinking water, you don't!

[notquitetamed]

Just goes to show when one pisses the minotaur off, things get pissed on.

[trustheart]

You think that's clever, but it's not.

[originaldragoon]

Soa, I do not know what is worse. The rock throwing or this?

[At least the rock throwing was less gross, but it was more deadly.]

[trustheart]

This. This is way worse.

[alchemists]

I can try to make a filtration system....

[trustheart]

That'd be great, Elfnein, but apparently there's a ritual they're gonna try?

[raven_sage]

[It's literally just Eivor laughing uproariously. Sorry, but this shit's hysterical.]

A fine way to lay siege to a city! Wish I'd thought of it! HA!

[trustheart]

You're fucking disgusting.

So? Want to find out what roasted minotaur tastes like?

[trustheart]

Whoa! Whoa whoa whoa! Who the hell said anything about killing him?!

video (Lucy); un:elfe

[scarredhorns]

Yeah, he's upset about the mining expedition that went into his cave and took some crystals.

[Lucy was one of them, not because she supported the idea of going to war with Celliwig, but because she was interested in the power the crystals were said to add to their magic.]

To be fair, I can tell you that there weren't any signs that said keep out. It's his fault for not investing in better security measures.

[trustheart]

I'm not saying I'm the minotaur's biggest fan, both sides suck here, but that sounds like justifying after the fact.
