1st Nightmare

[isolophobia]

[ A grey skinned, eyebrowless face appears in golden hyper denial. The gold eye that is closest (and both are very close indeed ) is looking the Amber Slice over critically as Pitch is examining this new piece of magic on his person to go along with the little gem now secreted away in the darkness of his robe. ]

--ere pictures and sounds and what-have-you a moment ago. This magic should not be difficult to duplicate.

[ You see, kids, this is how you know you've been alone too long. You start talking to yourself all the time. No, he doesn't realize others can see him. ]

Comments

[magus_knight]

Eh. Probably not.

[Came the bored voice of a blonde human.]

[isolophobia]

[ We'll just pretend that dropping of the Amber Slice was completely intentional. ]

Can...can you hear me?

[magus_knight]

Nope. Totally can't hear you at all.

Hellooooooo~

[alley_kit]

[Have the face of a rather cat-like little girl.]

Really? These mirrors are neat, but it'd be really cool if we could make things like them ourselves.

y hulo thar

[isolophobia]

[ Honestly? You look more cat than girl, so Pitch does think you must be a spirit like him. ]

Why? These Seem to be something very special.

>^.^<

[alley_kit]

[She does kinda. Though not nearly as much as some of her friends back home.]

They are!

But if we could make our own, then people could have a spare one, if theirs gets lost or broken. And we could make them all different sizes too! Little ones you could carry around in your pocket, big ones that could show your whole body at once, not just your face, or huge ones that you could set up where everyone could see for big announcements and things.

[redactions]

How sure are you that it's magic?

[isolophobia]

How sure are you that it is not?

[redactions]

[ Point taken. ]

We have telephones, just none of 'em in mirrors. Folks here have got all different kinds.

[greatrage]

We can see you, weirdo.

[Never mind that Eren found out how the amber worked the same way. There's no technology even approaching this where he's from.]

[isolophobia]

...are you saying you can all see me?

[ Magic or technology, nothing has given him that much power in years. ]

[greatrage]

I... guess? I don't really know how it works. Sometimes it shows me things and sometimes it's just a piece of glass or... whatever it is.

[what long distance communication. this is not a flare gun. technology???? how shot web]

[scionoflegend]

Huh? Are you a mage?

[...A dark mage, obviously.]

[isolophobia]

If you mean to compare me to one of those mortals that dabbles about with magic, I am nothing of the sort.

[ A mage. Honestly. ]

[scionoflegend]

Soooo... not a sorcerer either? Or a dark knight? If you want to duplicate magic, you kinda have to dabble in it, don't you?

[knight_king]

[A serious looking blonde girl seems to be staring at the broadcast for a long while as he sends his message. She is deliberating if he is trapped inside this slice of amber or if it worked like that television machine Shirou kept in the Emiya household or perhaps it served as a correspondence method.

She decides to find out.]

Can you hear my voice?

[isolophobia]

[ All of these wonderful faces! And they can hear Pitch as well as see him most of the time! ]

Oh yes. Though I would much rather meet you in person~

[ It's the quietly serious ones that have the tastiest fears. ]

I can even see you.

[knight_king]

I see.

[So it is a means of communication, she concludes silently. His remark makes her eyebrows crease because it's odd. How could anyone wish to see her in person?]

I assume that you have arrived recently as well.

[fallensun]

It's pretty simple magic, probably. If I wanted to, I could probably make a million of these things.

[He's holding his own amber slice between his thumb and forefinger and waving it back and forth, which doesn't exactly make the image easy to see.]

[isolophobia]

Perhaps it is, but if you wave it about like that you will succeed only in making the viewer seasick.

[fallensun]

Yeah? Is it bugging you?

[Because that just means he's going to do it more.]

[dragonblood]

So it is magic.

[ she has her concerns about the amber slice too, and it's the first she's heard the word 'magic' thrown into conversations involving it. knowing that this place isn't home has made her more inclined to use the thing, nonsensical as it is, because why not? ]

[isolophobia]

Yes. Five points for repeating what I said.

[ Who dropped their amber slice in surprise? He didn't drop his amber slice in surprise. What are you talking about? ]

[anelegantmyth]

[She wanted to scream. She wanted to scream and possibly freak out the strangely colored man on the other end of the amber. But she was better than that. Plus she also didn't want her neighbours to freak out.

So, instead, she'll appear on the amber wait for him to realize she's watching.]

[isolophobia]

[ Staring it is, then. At least he's centered on the screen properly? ]
