video; locked to the unseelie court

[digophelia]

Hello.

[ Alice has finally figured out how to lock this to her court! Yay. Well, no, the female imp she's befriended has figured out how to set that up for her. Awkward hellos aside, Alice clears her throat and speaks like she's been reading from a script.

So she's been rehearsing.]

As I am sure that you are all aware, there have been efforts to recover those feathers. I am not sure how far along the others are, but might I ask who would be interested in conjoining search efforts?

[She is not good at these things; Alice tosses her hair and opts to use a more casual tone, rolling her eyes at herself.]

I am at the station still, but I can make my way towards any parts of Drabwurld that need more unseelie hands. I will say I would prefer to go with the group I traveled with to the Redgate, but as far as others go, well. Maybe I prefer my own court.

[Lumina gives a little wave when she appears on the screen. She has one of the feathers held between two fingers by the stem, and she rolls it between them, making it twirl.]

Any idea what they're for?

[digophelia]

From what I understand, they come from a bird king and that they have some sort of magical properties. There's only one way to find out about the latter if it's true.

[chaoticwhimsy]

I've only found this one. It hasn't done anything, though.

[She shakes it like one might a broken calculator.]

[video]

[digophelia]

Perhaps it takes time or maybe you would need more of them. I doubt shaking will help it.

[She huffs at the feather as it fails to entertain, then turns her gaze back to the locket.]

Maybe! You're going looking for more?

[video]

[digophelia]

Yes and hopefully with more members of her court.

[video]

[chaoticwhimsy]

Well. [The kid grins.] I suppose I could help out.

[video]

[digophelia]

You're more than welcome to come.

[ Oh, no, big sister feelings rising. ] There isn't anything else to do around here, anyway. And there could be a decent boon in returning stolen goods.

[video]

[chaoticwhimsy]

Great! I can be back at the station whenever.

[Her smile turns sly.]

A boon would have to be pretty great to beat all the imps they let me have, but getting stuff is always nice, huh?

[video]

[digophelia]

I suppose if you mean something a little more useful, then yes.

[video]

[chaoticwhimsy]

[Lumina huffs.]

They're useful!

[video]

[digophelia]

Do they have names yet?

[video]

[chaoticwhimsy]

[Lumina looks a tad embarrassed as she glances away at one of her imps.]

Well. A couple of them do...

[video]

[digophelia]

Have they no names of their own?

[video]

[chaoticwhimsy]

[Lumina just blinks at the locket as if that had never even occurred to her. Which it hadn't. They were her imps, right? That meant she got to name them?]

Hmm. I suppose they might have before. Probably.
