IC Inbox - Snakes on Serpentine Horizon
[It just goes to a beep.]
Will you punish him like a child if he does?
[He actually stretches his arms up at the question, popping his back.]
And here I was going to take a break from all this. The personas. The plays. I was promised a hundred year nap at least. But here I am back on the stage. And one that gets me no closer to my goals. Infuriating honestly.
Alright. Alright. I wonder if this trick will work on you, or you'll simply get huffy like the rest. Think of a place in your mind. One you would rather be than here a this moment. Hold it there.

Better than the last time. Alright. It won't be impressive without one of your memories however. Of course, I can conjure up my own.
[He snaps his fingers and for the briefest, absolute briefest of moments they are knee deep in snow in front of a gigantic metal building. A city, perhaps a capital in the middle of a frozen and blizzard laden region. But this city is thriving with citizen milling about, a train running, life and technology. All the hustle and bustle in his ears. The crisp wind in his nose. The sharp tang of winter on his tongue.
But only for the briefest of moments. True Creation cannot exist here after all. Only the echo of its passing.]

He can do whatever he likes. He earned the free will he has, ...every action simply has a reaction and potentially a consequence. [ rubs one of its petals between his thumb and forefinger, gently... and then he just tears it off, letting it drop. he crushes the flower in hand after, letting its crushed bits drop after that poor little petal. ]
I wonder why they get huffy. [ he thinks of an empty white void with the biggest smile on his face. ]

[ he’s immediately in full observation mode the moment he’s caught in it. He knows the sharp, bitter cold of winter. Even more than the rest of it all, that solidifies that it cannot be a simple illusion ]
… how unfortunate that this place is shackling you so. I wonder if you can make just about anything appear … creating it, and not just faking its existence.

[He simply shrugs his shoulders at the musings.]
Satisfied, then? With today's lesson.

I would agree.
But such predictability isn't always entertaining, is it? I do wish you a good day. And a good journey back.
[And he teleports out leaving Scaramouche there. Like the asshole he is.]

[Sir, what did that flower do to you?]
You speak as if he didn't have a will of his own before.
[He snaps his fingers and for a moment, the most briefest moment they will be there in that empty void.
Emet, of course, rolls his eyes. But whatever 'feeling' he would expect from such a place that is what his senses tell him. Convincing him its real.
And maybe it is. Maybe it isn't. If Emet existed with his full powers it would be real, but whose to say in this strange place they've found themselves.
But it will only last a single moment before it is gone and they are back in the forest.]

[ ...live. ]
[ dottore makes no further comments about scaramouche. ]
[ he feels nothing. he didn't choose a place that means anything to him. he's still holding his cards close to his chest, but instead just chose a place that would make it obvious if emet's powers held any water... and they do, even if it's brief because of what this place does to everybody. ]
How very interesting. [ muses thoughtfully. ] It's a shame about what they do to us, don't you think?

There are worse fates.
Satisfied, then, that I am offering this olive branch to you.

[ a sharp smile pulls at his lips. ] Always.
I do think it would benefit us to get along. I'll take better care of your branch than I did that poor flower.

If you are looking to get a rise out of me, your sadism will not. Nor your bloodletting.
But I'm glad we can come to an understanding of cooperation.

[ shakes his head. ]
As I am.
I imagine I will see you at home.

At times. I tend to keep to myself.
Though perhaps if it was more lively I might find myself there more.

I guess we'll just have to see if anything changes for the... better? [ he shrugs. ] Until we meet again then. [ and he just starts walking off like he's going on the most casual stroll through the most mundane set of woods to have ever existed anywhere ever. ]
[With a wave in the other direction, he'll teleport away to wherever he goes when he wants to be alone.]
Bootyyyshaker9000: Greetings.
Bootyyyshaker9000: I am Donatello Hamato from Robin's Egg. I have been informed you share a bond with one of my teammates.
Bootyyyshaker9000: I wished to reach out to you as my brother has recently joined your team.
Bootyyyshaker9000: Mostly to let you know if there are any issues, feel free to inform me or ask for help.

[Give him a moment, texting isn't really something he does .... ever.]
Emet-Selch: I assume you aren't related to the doll or the doctor.
Emet-Selch: Which leaves you as the result of the sheep accident.
Emet-Selch: Oh, if you are offering help. Then I simply ask that you watch over my dear, dear friend.
Emet-Selch: He has a tendency to get into trouble.
Emet-Selch: Thus any amount of babysitting fostered his way is more than welcome.

Bootyyyshaker9000: I mean, it was hardly an accident as deliberate mad science, but that does sound like something Leo would say.
Bootyyyshaker9000: I will always look after my teammates, including any necessary babysitting.
Bootyyyshaker9000: I was offering in regards to my brother. He can be
Bootyyyshaker9000: Difficult.
Bootyyyshaker9000: An extremely valuable teammate.
Bootyyyshaker9000: But also difficult.

[A pause. Well, he won't rat out Leo on all his things, he figures the team can figure that out if they deserve to know, but he will get the one that is usually a time limit.]
Bootyyyshaker9000: He was usually in charge of our medical issues. In result, he's the world's worst patient.
Bootyyyshaker9000: I usually took care of him so I'm used to his misbehavior.

Emet-Selch: I was expecting something much worse.
Emet-Selch: You are in luck. We have a doctor, Eve has healing magic, and I can manage a simple conjury or two in a pinch.
Emet-Selch: A little unruliness will hardly be a bother.

Emet-Selch: A little unruliness will hardly be a bother.
Bootyyyshaker9000: The healing magic is probably the best bet. Don't give him time to run.
Emet-Selch: I can teleport, my dear.
Emet-Selch: That will not be a problem.
Emet-Selch: Anything else I should watch out for besides his ability to get injured?
