eachdraidh | [video] open to both courts

I'm looking for someone. [ no doubt, a tried and true phrase the lockets have played before. Connor tacks a piece of paper to the locket so that everyone can see his drawing of a demon. it's sketchy and messy, but a pretty good likeness considering he was being beaten up during his confrontation with it. guess he inherited one more thing from his father's side. ]

He's over seven feet tall and made completely out of stone. And he's mine. [ and by the look on his face and the tone of his voice, that clearly means MINE TO KILL >:[ !!!! but the sassmasters of eachdraidh are welcome to poke fun at him anyway. he lowers the paper, revealing the rest of him and the lovely decoration scheme caer scima's rocking. ] He'll try and kill you, but I don't have to really warn you guys about that, huh? From what I've heard of this place, that's what we're supposed to be doing.

[ killing each other!!! guess who hasn't been given the 'make love, not war' lecture of his life. there's no clear sign on his face that explains what he thinks of that exactly. He moves to turn off the locket and hesitates. ]

I want to know. [ how do I get out, who can I beat up right now, where can I find Angel -- ] Who's winning the war?

[ he's quiet in response because it's not as strange, to see kids his age with entirely different lives than his. it's not like he's ever resented them for having normalcy. he didn't know the life of a normal teenager enough to want it for himself. but sometimes, on those dark nights when he looked on those busy streets and saw normal teenagers coming back from restaurants surrounded by friends and family, he resented them just enough. ]

Yeah. Weird. [ stiffly, then he shrugs ] But it makes things like this -- getting kidnapped to another dimension -- seem tame. Can't imagine how it must be for you.

[ Kelsi's waving her hand in the air in front of her face dismissively, mostly because she disagrees with that, but also simply because she's a little startled someone's not only talking to her, but talking to her about her. ]

It's--it's okay, really, I just feel bad I can't help anyone. You have that power, and--well. Obviously you're using it.

[ She does lower her hand and give her best encouraging smile, though. ]

[ furrows his brow ]

You have power. That thing. The shard or whatever that's inside of you. [ he doesn't contest the fact that she's not the same as him, but ] And they think that's useful.

Unless there's power in song, there's--

[ Wait. Kelsi frowns. ]

..Is it true you can get power here, if you ask for it? I heard that somewhere.

...It doesn't sound impossible. People can get power anywhere. [ bites his lip. ]

I wouldn't trust just anybody who tells you that though.

Why not? [ And, after a pause: ] Even the courts?

Especially the courts. [ the imps had kidnapped him, but he's not aware that faeries are friendlier and ask first ] Things like that always come with a price.

[ could he sound more foreboding if he wanted to? probably not ] ...Look, just be on your guard, okay?

I will--promise. And thanks for the advice, okay?

Yeah. [ wait no he should say you're welcome right. uh. it's probably too late to tack that on, so he gives a little awkward nod instead. ]
