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?

Depends. Some do, some don't. Some just go for blood, others go for brains, and there's a few that like to peel off skin and --

[ he's going to go on if jack doesn't shut him up tbh ]

[Whoa whoa whoa!] Alright, alright, I get it. No need to get into the gruesome talk. [This kid obviously needs to come with a tmi warning.]

You need to stop the big bad demons. Fine. But is that all you're gonna do?

[ spoilers: it's all he's gonna do ]

You mean besides finding a way out of this place?

What, you don't like it here? With all the demon talk, your home doesn't exactly sound like paradise.

[ oh los angeles ]

...It's not, but I have things to do. [ ... ] Do you like it here?

Well, let's just say it's got a few more pros than cons in comparison to home. [Like that he isn't invisible to the whole world. A++]

It's almost a bit like this place is meant for a fresh start in some ways.

[ he's almost about to say something derisive, but the second part stops him. a fresh start. it sounds as tempting as it's always sounded to connor, but ]

If that's the kind of thing you're looking for. [ there's no real bite behind his words. simply acceptance. ] ...So you're not planning to fight in this war?

Uh, not really. Fighting's not really my kind of thing anyway. [Though maybe he could bury some folks in snowpiles if he really had to.]

I haven't been here long myself, so really, it's just kind of figuring out things from here. For now, I'm really more interested in finding out a bit more about the people here.

[Really, just talking to people in general, since he's never gotten a chance for that before.]

[ it's a plan, even if it's not one connor necessarily agrees with, but it pings a lot of stuff for him anyway so he can't even grumble. ]

Shouldn't be too hard with these... necklaces. [ unaware that jack can fly anywhere he wants tbh ] But if you see the demon while you're out talking to people, then call me.

Sure, I can keep a look out for you. [Then he pauses to think.]

Who should I ask for if I need to look for you? [Introductions. He forgets those are a thing. He needs to get used to it.] I'm Jack.

Connor. [ also gratitude is clearly a thing too that connor has trouble expressing?? but he manages ] ...Thanks.

Gotcha. And it'll be no problem. [With a grin, he gives a bit of a shrug.] Just try to keep your chin up a bit, kid. You'll be alright here, I think.

[And with a nod and a chuckle, he shuts the locket.]
