backdated to the 31st/VIDEO - OPEN TO BOTH COURTS

[earthsend]

[The video flickers on and a wild eyed boy appears, looking rather beaten up and more than a little alarmed. He's somewhere in the hallways of Caer Scima, completely out of his element and completely out of place. He wouldn't do this normally but there are imps, there are creepy castle things and he wants out. Out. Out. Out.]

Those things--[imps, as they come flying into the video to drag Enma off somewhere. He yelps and bats them away before they can sink their claws into his ankles. Ok. No more laying around. He's running, he's running as fast as he can (which isn't very fast but hey he never claimed to be any sort of athlete)]--they keep trying to--

[There's a blur of movement and suddenly Enma is drowning in the sack used to bring him here. He makes a muffled noise, something like "GET OFF" or "HELP" and continues running aimlessly. The locket swings wildly in his hands and all anyone can see are imps, the ceiling and a glimpse of metal armor just as Enma goes crashing into it, tumbling down the stairs. 

There's a loud thud at the end of it and a groan as the locket goes spinning away. All anyone can see on the video is a wriggling sack, pieces of armor and a sudden pulse of energy as imps go flying]

Ow.

[And abruptly, the feed ends]

[justike]

Hm... I don't think any of us here can laugh at you. After all, they stuffed me in a sack to get me here in the first place.

[He rubs the back of his head and tries for an encouraging smile, not an I'm-going-to-laugh-at-you smile.]

The imps are persistent, but if you're firm with them they lose interest fast.

[earthsend]

We all got stuffed in a sack, didn't we?

[Enma just eyes Ike a little suspiciously. Well, he didn't look like he was going to laugh but]

...what do you mean by firm?

[Do you mean crushing them? Because Enma sort of maybe did that...]

[justike]

It seems like most of Caer Scima did. Some other people got asked nicely.

[Ike shrugs a little wryly at the thought. Well, if they'd asked he wouldn't have gone, so.]

Just toss them like you did. They won't keep bothering you if they know it's too much trouble.

[earthsend]

Oh.

[Well, tossing them sounds like a good solution, can't argue with that]

Did you have to toss them?

[justike]

Er. I might have kicked one on accident, when I first got out of the sack.

[Now that he has an imp entourage he can't help but feel a little bad.]

[earthsend]

[Enma stares at Ike for a long moment. Actually, how did someone like him get into a sack?]

...that probably hurt them a lot.

[The imp, that is]

[justike]

Enough that they haven't tried putting me in a sack again, I suppose.

[And really, they did start it. So he can't feel all that bad.]

[earthsend]

[He frowns at the imps off screen.]

Being crushed would stop that, yeah...
