003 (Video) ; I'm a word that no one ever wants to say...

 [Hello, Tranquility. Here's Topher, recently exorcised and looking... Well, let's be real here. Topher looks like he got hit by a truck. His hair's messier than usual, he's ashen-faced, and there's a bandage around his left hand, which you can only just barely see because his hands are tucked tightly under his arms, like he's trying to pull himself into the smallest possible space.]

Is it over yet?

[He swallows.] ...Are they gone?

[For a moment, he looks like he might say something else, but there's just a long silence where nothing happens and he flips the communicator off with an aggravated and exhausted sigh. This has not been the best few weeks of his life and he's had a lot of terrible few weeks.]

[Topher cringes.] And I've got more than my fair share of 'done me wrong' stories before this... They're of a.. Lees skeevy, less violating nature.

Does it help to know that they've been exorcised, or are well on their way to being completely dealt with? [Admittedly, the sorts of possession he's known of in his live involved things that completely took you over. You weren't aware enough to know what was happening. So, he's at a bit of a loss right now how to help. But he's trying!]
