[ 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.

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.

The Abbey?

The Abbey of the Everyman. Other than my own worship, they are the last remaining religion in Gristol. [ Beat. ] As they destroyed the others.

Ah, yeah. That sounds like a church thing to do.

So your the source, is magic evil where you are?

They say it is. But it can be used for many things, good or evil.

Hm.

[So about the same in his world]

So...what? Do they go around hanging magic users or something?

Sometimes. Sometimes they burn them, behead them, tear them limb from limb, feed them to the hounds...

[ He could go on. ]

Oh. Love...ly.

[Yeeeeesh never visiting that world; he clears his throat]

Well! It's nice to know churches are keeping to a peace and love doctrine no matter where you go! Haha...

Do they do that in other worlds? [ The peace and love doctrine, that is. ]

Uh...

[a pause. Because while there are definitely peaceful factions of the Church of Martel- there were more violent ones too. Not to mention...that whole 4,000 year genocide thing Cruxis did.......]

Sometimes?

I suppose they are, in the end, guided by men.

Yeah, I suppose humans can be capable of great evil just as much as great good.

But the real question is, is the food and drink good in your world or do that church mess with that too?

Some of it is, if you can afford it. Blood oxen steak, for example.

Blood oxen steak....

[He considers that, what it could taste like- before he seems to shrug]

Eh, doesn't sound worth risking my life to try. I guess I'll have to pass visiting your world.

Are there others that you have visited?

Sorta. There's another world I went to once, but since then it became merged with my own.

And how did that happen?

Heh well, as you can imagine, it's a pretty long and complicated story.

I have time.

[ Oh. Wait. ]

Though if you do not wish to tell it...

[He gives a light chuckle at the guy showing manners]

Perhaps some other time. Who knows how long you'll be stuck here, you gotta space out some of the interesting stuff to hear.

I suppose.

[ He sounds remarkably like a petulant teenager. ]

Your name?
