[ Although the other day was far from as traumatic as the last inmate influx, it left Reid a little pensive. Made him think of extreme aggressors, of 50 000 chess games, of expecting different outcomes in a game that would only end with check mate, but unlike a few years ago this is not a depressive thought. Instead, it makes him crave interaction and so he hits up the network. ]

Hey, guys. I was wondering... there's quite a few of us here that know how to play chess. How would you feel about an impromptu tournament? Nothing fancy, just... I don't know, anyone who's interested could drop by the library and we'll set up a few games. Bring a board, if you got one.

[ A bit of an awkward smile and then he cuts the feed. ]

(( OOC: MINGLE-STYLE! Email notifs are off, so thread to your hearts content! Reid will have a video response thread here and an action response thread here for your Reid-y needs! ))

[ To be perfectly honest, he was more concerned with whether or not they should stay here or go someplace else or maybe divide it up or something. They both have lives. His also happens to be mortal, but... alright. If anyone can talk forever, it's Reid. ]

Satan is a character appearing in the texts of the Abrahamic religions, personifying evil and temptation, and is known as the deceiver that leads humanity astray. The term is often applied to an angel who fell out of favor with God, seducing humanity into the ways of sin, and who now rules over the fallen world.

Satan is primarily understood as an "accuser" or "adversary" in the Hebrew Bible, and is not necessarily the personification of evil that he would become in later Abrahamic religions. In the New Testament, Satan is a name that refers to a decidedly malevolent entity (devil) who possesses demonic god-like qualities. In Theistic Satanism, Satan is considered a positive force and deity who is either worshipped or revered. In LaVeyan Satanism, Satan is regarded as holding virtuous characteristics.

[Well that explains some of the reactions he has gotten here, Saetan reflects sadly. It's hard hearing some things that sound almost true being twisted like that.]

Hell wasn't any kind of punishment for me. Where I come from, Blood access our power. Through Jewels. The darker they are the more power a person has access to, with Black being the darkest and most rare. I've only known three other people besides myself to wear them in all my long life, and they offer an immense source of magical power. Until my son, I was the only male ever to wear them, certainly the only male to be a Black Widow or rule a territory. I can say without bragging that I am quite unique, and I felt I had a responsibility to do something with my life as a result. Hell is a shadow realm, without much comfort and I thought the souls there deserved someone to look out for them, so I walked in while I was still alive and assumed control. I don't lie or lead astray any more than the next person, and I only punish those who truly deserve it.

	[ For someone who relies so heavily on facts, Reid does understand that you can never rely on them as perfect truths. Certainly not with religion and even less so here where the truth shifts violently from individual to individual. This is curious though. A rare opportunity. ] Black widow? What does that entail?

[He extends his right hand to allow for a better view of the small venemous snake tooth that slides out from beneath the black nail of his ring finger as he flexes it.] It's one of our magical castes a person can be born into, like healer, warlord prince, queen or any number of others. I've been dead for far too long for this to be deadly, but we all have an affinity for poisons. We can also weave tangled webs to predict the future or amplify more powerful spells.

	[ Had this been a few months back, he would've been scared instead of intrigued but by now he's getting used to the unusual. Leaning forward slightly he takes a good look at the tooth. ] Yeah, that's vastly different from the Biblical Satan most would be familiar with. (Reply to this) (Parent)
