Video; Dec 3rd; both courts

[cagedinflesh]

Good day.

I'm afraid a mistake has been made. As I understand it, it's the Seelie court which should seek my loyalty, and yet I have found myself among the Unseelie. I intend no offence to members of either court, nor disloyalty to the court I have been placed with, yet it is a perplexity. Simply put, I am left to wonder if this was indeed the intent and there has been no confusion, or if my own confusion is sound. It's...troubling, for reasons I apologise for not detailing.

Similarly, I'm looking for a friend, most likely among the Seelie, if present. He's about seventeen, Japanese, and you'll know him for a foolish innocence and investment in justice. Better still, being terribly easily flustered.

[Giving a name would be better, and it does make it apparent this friend is his Master, to anyone in the know, but it is still even just a little bit safer to keep Tatsumi's name secret. He can't jeopardise the boy's safety.]

Ah, one more thing. I'm a doctor, therefore if anyone is ever in need of medical attention, I am always available, particularly for those outside the courts who may not have access to their infirmaries. I should note, however, my practice may not be up-to-date for some. Although I do promise I don't suck. [He laughs lightly.] -That's right, a name would be helpful, wouldn't it? I suppose it's best to continue with Berserker for now, although I am aware there is another by the name. If that name holds meaning to you, I believe it's important we speak. Perhaps more privately.

Ah-- it may be, I suppose it is, in fact... Still, it's nothing, really! Please forgive me, that information is something of a sensitive subject. There are reasons I am unable to speak openly about it. At least, until I know what meaning that title holds to others here.

[THAT DOESN'T MEAN MAKE GUESSES]

[individualist]

[BUT SHE WANTS TO MAKE ALL THE GUESSES.]

Alright, alright…I’ll leave it alone until you’re sure. My Dad did always say I was too curious for my own good.

[The greatest understatement of all time.]

[cagedinflesh]

[No!!! If she starts, she's getting the Lanyon lie!

He can't help but to laugh.]

Is that so? He may have been at least partially correct. Although I sincerely doubt there can be such a thing as 'too' curious.

[individualist]

You're right, there isn't. It's only defined by how much the other person wants you to know.

[cagedinflesh]

[He pauses, surprised by the rather blunt statement. But within a moment he has to laugh.]

I do not think you too curious. It is fair enough. I fear I've made a big deal out if it, when it's really nothing.

[Casually throw some slang in there, yes.]

1/2

[individualist]

No, I guess I'm being a bit insistent, aren't I? We're both at fault here.

[BETTER THAN JUST AGREEING MAYBE. So.]

I'll try to remember not to bring it up again, I promise.

[individualist]

It doesn't seem like it'd be a good idea to push a Berserker too much anyway!

[Lil' joke for ya' there bud.]

[cagedinflesh]

Ah-- no, I wouldn't! I am not that sort of a Berserker - rather, the title is not indicative of my nature!

[Of course, when he says 'my nature', he means Jekyll's nature. Although he is both parts so the declaration is not entirely accurate. But he can't exactly say something like 'my current personality', or otherwise indicate there is another side to him.]

[individualist]

I guess you're from a pretty serious era, huh? Or are you an exception?

[A sigh, but it's lighthearted.]

I was kidding. You're not a threat to me, I know.

[That wording is entirely intentional.]

[cagedinflesh]

Yes, the mid-to-late 19th century, in England. Which seems to now be known for rigidity - rightfully so, I confess. But do not doubt my ability to tease, I am fully capable of it and quite fearsome, at that!

[If you're a loser who makes it way too easy, to the point that he doesn't have to try at all and in fact does it accidentally, like Dorian or his Master . . .]

[individualist]

Oh yeah?

[Hmmmmmmm............]

HIt me with your best shot then.

[cagedinflesh]

--Just like that? I could be wrong, but that just isn't the way it works!

[individualist]

Ah, what's wrong? Aren't kids like me usually easy targets for that kind of thing?

[cagedinflesh]

I know so little about you, and what's more, the conversation hasn't taken the proper route to lead into any form of teasing. It must be properly timed to achieve the right effect!

[individualist]

Sounds to me like someone's stalling for time.

[cagedinflesh]

No, no truly, I mean what I say! You dodge interest in yourself too well, what am I to do!

[individualist]

I just prefer hearing other people talk about themselves, that's all. But I'm not averse to it!

If you really have something of interest to ask, go ahead. I'm a very forthright kind of gal.
