Doesn't Bode Well [dark web]

[[related to House Party and Keys to the Kingdom]]

In the days following the house party at Nox's place, an image crops up in various places on the dark web: it is the neon outline of winking Hello Kitty, with a devil’s tail and pitchfork.

A rumour quickly surfaces that the Emissary of the m’Antinomian has suffered a theft. Those who successfully follow the trail discover an auction of the stolen piece. The accompanying text says only:

fuck those that would be gods. own a piece of m’antinomian. know their secrets.

[Sage]

The Wicked Truth makes a bid.

The Jackal makes a bid.

How did I end up on this page?

Lounged in bed, sheet tossed across his body and a mountain of pillows piled behind him, Jaxen found himself blinking at a screen he hadn’t intended to open. How did he even get there? One moment he was reading about unexplored hot spots in the city - and getting a kick out of the idea of visiting that trippy-ass Carnival - when next he found himself logged in as Voxel. All of which begged the question. He had no idea how he jumped from vlogs to the darkweb. It was almost as if it manifested itself in front of his eyes.

Once he realized what he was looking at, a frown creased his lips.

Fuckers stole my Hello Kitty.

It was his first thought upon encountering the image, but as he stared at the winking gif, its forked tail wagging back and forth playfully, a new thought crept across his mind.

And Jaxen was rather flattered as a result. So much effort to get his attention.

Voxel Adams made a very healthy bid as a result.

The Emissary of m’Antinomian

ZigZag had given up the information he held to the cause. The darling Bode was known to him. And his host was busy trying to find her while he left his own messages for the infernal wretch who stole "The Key". Their legacy.

She had the audacity to put it up for auction. He did not bid but he put tracers on those who did. And then he sent every available m’Antinomian hacker to take down the site.
