I left the City for one week and people are getting soul-sucked? What does that even mean?

I'm postponing my return for a few days.

[Encrypted to Zatanna's staff + Zatanna herself]

Because I'm postponing my departure, I'm going to have to trust that you'll all keep things going as smoothly as possible. If something happens, you can contact me on my mobile. If it's an emergency I'll arrange to come back sooner.

[Matter-of-factly:] People got their souls sucked.

[whatever she isn't filtering this filters are for people that understand technology and privacy (she is neither).] Oh?

[specifythepoint]

Yes, I assumed that much. But I don't really understand what makes up a soul. Are they devoid of personality now?

[Pause.]

Which part is confusing you?

voice;

[hexappeal]

Were. The day has been saved.

The part where you don't tell me what you're doing for those extra few days and I'm nosy and I want to know. So you should.

So isn't it that they were personality-sucked?

[Arthur do you have a problem with the word soul?]

I was looking at flats.

It's not quite the same thing.

[Man, he is weird enough as it is. Zatanna does not doubt this.]

Ditching me, so soon? [Is that disappointment?]

Should I ask what you were up to?

[specifythepoint]

Nothing you'd consider interesting, I'm sure.

[comesback.livejournal.com]

I don't know, I consider a lot of things interesting.

I was looking for a flat in Maida Vale.

Bored of us already, are you?

Hiding?

[voice]

[specifythepoint]

No. Running errands.

[voice]

[doubleoohbaby.livejournal.com]

What sort of errands?

[voice]

[specifythepoint]

Anderson and Sheppard.

You went to London without me?

It's pretty self-explanatory. Not sure how you could miss the meaning there.

[specifythepoint]

Presuming you accept a definition for a concept that I don't necessarily believe exists.

[cutthroats.livejournal.com]

"Soul" could just be referring to their minds/subconscious. And everyone knows that exists.

[specifythepoint]

It could be. But I don't make assumptions.

This monster thing obviously took something from its victims that left them like vegetables, does it really matter what name people give what the thing took?

[askedtobe.livejournal.com]

You picked a good time to leave.

voice;

[specifythepoint]

I have remarkable timing.

voice;

[askedtobe.livejournal.com]

At least everyone's got their souls back, now.

voice;

[specifythepoint]

So I've heard. You didn't have a problem, did you?

voice;

[askedtobe.livejournal.com]

No, I managed to keep my soul.
