[ The locket is floating.

It’s the only explanation for the view that the item gives – a young man, out on the walls of one of the castles, the moon curved behind him. His arms are crossed in front of him, not touching the device as it records. Black eyes (all black, like the depths of the sea) regard it for a moment and then one hand moves, gestures at the locket. ]

Well, well.

[ His head tilts, and while his lips don’t turn up, one may get the feeling that he’s smirking. ]

I must say, this is an interesting turn of events. One that even I did not see coming.

[ His voice is almost monotonous, but there is something like music in it – like whale song. ]

To be pulled away to the Drabwurld, asked to take part in this war. I wonder if they truly know what they are doing. [ His hand returns, head moving back so that he can look straight at the camera. ]

I hear there was a battle. One should expect such things, in war. I suppose I should ask about it. [ He doesn’t. Instead- ]

Tell me, Shardholders, something... interesting.

It is your choice to respond or to not.

Yeah, I guess it is. But hey it's not every day you get to talk to a guy that's a-

What are you supposed to be, again? 'Cause you look a little too on the corpse side to be human.

'God' tends to be the term most decide on.

[ He's over 4000 years old and he hasn't seen a lot of sun, okay? ]

[Gosh Outsider go hit a tanning salon]

God, huh?

And are you really one? 'Cause you'd be amazed how many things get declared to have godhood.

[ but but but :c ]

What would you define as a god?

[Non-existent. But it wouldn't suit his interests to out himself as an atheist, sooooo..]

Oh, you know- all knowing, all powerful, created the world or its people, keeps a watch over 'em...stuff like that.

Perhaps not by your definition. The Void created all, and will swallow all eventually -- even myself. I am a representative of it.

The Void?

You mean like the black of space or something?

The black of space. The deepest parts of the ocean. Dreams. Death. Many things, but chaos chief among them.

Oh.

...

Wait. So you're the reason people keep having naked in school dreams?

I seldom pick the content, I assure you.

Right, sure. I believe you.

[It's not like he cares that much though, so he's moving on]

Anyway, no. You wouldn't be considered a god where I'm from. Probably more like one of the Summon Spirits.

Summon Spirits?

[ 'Spirits' is thrown about a lot, both in his world and here. He's interested in the distinctions. ]

Yeah. They're sorta like...manifestations or representatives of different powers? The elements, creation...stuff like that.

They're really powerful, and if you're a summoner, you can form pacts with them to use their power. I mean, if they agree to the pact anyway.

Edited 2014-08-19 03:46 (UTC)

I see. Would there be one for the ocean, perhaps?

Of the ocean?

[That's...random. Maybe he likes fish? Who knows.]

Well, that might be Undine. She's the Summon Spirit of Water.

[ Whales c: ]

And chaos?

[He shrugs]

If they exist, I haven't met 'em.

There are no stories about them?

[ Riddles, tales to scare your children into sleeping? ]

About chaos? Not...really.

Why? What kind of stories do they tell about you?

They tell of the young man with black eyes leading into temptation, mostly.

[Now he just looks surprised]

You? Really?

[YOU'RE NOT EVEN HOT]

[ NOT THAT KIND OF TEMPTATION. most of the time. ]

As I am the source of all magic in the world, yes.

[NOPE GONNA WONDER ABOUT STANDARDS IN YOUR WORLD DUDE...]

And...magic's bad?

So the Abbey teaches.
