Video; Dec 3rd; both courts
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.

[That is a lie, but it helps her, at times.]
So you are dead, then. You know your fate. There has to be something...soothing, in that.
As terrible a fate as it might be.
[She watches Jekyll again, and lets out a breath.
She is not sure if she should say something, but, then--]
I have heard that you have spoken with a young Dorian Gray.

[He smiles to hear Dorian's name, though.] As to Dorian Gray, yes, I certainly have - he is a fine young man!

But make no mistake, in the future he will be like us.
I have not spoken with him of this; perhaps being here, he will not be the man I know, where I reside.
But mark if Hyde seems drawn to him, as well.

[He stops himself. No, of course it wouldn't seem possible, would anyone have thought it so for himself? Or surely for Vanessa either. Berserker presses his lips together as his face falls, looking down.]
Yet if you say it, through experience no less, then it must be so. ...The poor boy. I hope for his sake you're right and he might avoid that fate here. If you have no intent to speak with him on the matter, neither will I.

Whatever secret he holds, I do not know. But I know the danger is in how he fans it's flames, and encourages others to do so, as well.
[As he did, with hers. Nearly brought her downfall.]
He is so different, now. I can only hope it lasts.
Video; locked
Still, he is very different from what you describe. I suppose all we can do is to pray for him, to remain unmarred by such a curse.

[But then he smiles, something occurring to him in that instant.] Do you love him...?
[Yes he will be that straightforward with it.]
Video; locked
Perhaps his nature is simply different from ours. A contrast.
[They have souls. Perhaps he does not.
That question, though---she blinks a bit shocked.]
I don't, in truth, know what love is.
[Oh yes you do, Vanessa...]
There is an infatuation, I will not deny that. But my infatuation, however strong, can not be indulged in my world.
