Nightmare 2 || Amber post or Action

[isolophobia]

amber;

[ Pitch is, well, lounging. There's really no other word for it, and he just so happens to look like someone lounging half-under a warm kotatsu...only it's a bed. That's right you're looking at what appears to be fully grown man lounging underneath somebody's bed while he's making an amber post. ]

Do you know that everyone can see these? Doesn't matter where they are, if they check their magic looking glass, they can all see and hear me.

action;

[ And in case you were worried about it, yes that is an awfully familiar looking bed. Checking on your particular bed would reveal a certain Boogeyman lounging underneath, with his wings neatly folded along his back almost like an extra bit of cape with gold at the edges and fluffy bits between his shoulders. Do you sleep somewhere other than a bed? Well, no big deal. Pitch is just making use of this bed (like a creeper) for the moment. Hey, at least he's not in your space? ]

((OOC; Don't worry about a 'catch up' log, or any kind logging. I'm slower than frozen sap in Winter for tagging, but the plot lasts more than a week, so only worry about having fun, not being plot relevant, elsewise tag your comments amber or action please? Just so I can keep it all straight in my head ;'D ))

Comments

[isolophobia]

[ Your expression is enough to convey that you do certainly seem worried, but given the last time Pitch saw Riona, it's hard to say what the worry could be. ]

A certain little girl I know~

*amber*

[isolophobia]

...that is all that you can think of, isn't it? You've been brought here by strong and wild magic, and all you can think of is returning to where you were?

[ Pitch just shakes head and rolls his eyes. ]

Mortals.

*amber*

[finallyfallen]

I have reasons to return home.

[They don't apply here. Plus if he's away for too long, he could lose Rakushou. Damn if he's starting his conquest over...well, he will if he has too.]

Things I have to do.

[isolophobia]

[ It's a little eerie how such a tall man moves so quickly and gracefully at the same time, He's standing beside Kit mouth turned down in a look that's part boredom, and part annoyance that Kit didn't seem the least bit phased by the idea of what (or in this case who) might be lurking under the bed. ]

Feathers? Have you been after the songbirds as snacks?

[ Not that Pitch cared that much for songbirds, mind, but if Kit managed all by herself that would be impressive. ]

[isolophobia]

[ Orcelito. Pitch is giving you the most deadpan look imaginable. Just because you couldn't always see him didn't mean that he wasn't there. ]

Not always. Why haven't you solved it? You're the one writing it down.

[isolophobia]

Because there is almost always a shadow to make use of. And many children worry about what's in the closet or lurking under the bed.

[alley_kit]

[It takes more than existing in a creepy fashion to ruffle Kit's fur. The suddenness of Pitch's movement does startle her, but it passes quickly as she stands up to talk to him.]

No. Orcelito's been collecting feathers to make quills, and I've been helping; I was actually just sorting them when I heard you in here. I like to pick out some of the more colorful ones so we can use them to make other things later, if we want.

[princeandscholar]

[Have your deadpan look back, mate. Orcelito is just as superstitious as the next guy, but in his opinion, Pitch is nothing like his concept of a bogeyman. And he’s seen your face on the amber stone so often, you’re just another Adventurer to him. (In short, he’s growing out of his belief in such things.)]

I am in the process of solving it. I didn’t have ink and paper until recently, so there was no way to write it out. Besides, this riddle concerns all the Tree’s residents. It should be a concern to you as well.

[That’s another unfortunate thing about when kids grow up. They get rather presumptuous.]

[dragonblood]

[ indeed, and now she's already losing a bit of her patience, though pitch himself is largely the reason for that. ]

Which girl? What's her name? At least tell me the level you're tainting. [ they could have all been girls, she can't remember. ]

[amber]

[brbwakingwinds]

...why are you underneath that bed?

[ that's not how beds work sir water u doin ]

[knight_king]

Even if you do not need to sleep, you do not enjoy to rest?

[ sleeping is a way to save up prana and restore some of the reserves in Servant's case.

She frowns, but she knows is futile to ask if he got the owner's authorization, given his nature. ]

( amber )

[isolophobia]

[ That's not really how it works for him, Saber.]

Not particularly, no.

[ Not all of us have the luxury of not dreaming. ]

[isolophobia]

[ You're just so easy to mess with, Riona. ]

Oh, i'm a taint now, I see. It is not some secret come see for yourself~

*amber*

[isolophobia]

You certainly sound just like a mortal. There is nothing you could possibly have to do that compares with this wild magic spiriting you away to a strange, hollowed out old tree that gives gifts in return for serving it.

*amber*

[finallyfallen]

[He has a war to fight and hopefully win. People to remove from the world, and a country to run. Important stuff, to him at least.]

What would an immortal with nothing to do know about the actions of "mortals"?

[isolophobia]

[ And this is where Kit gets to see yet another side of Pitch Black; as charmed as a little boy given his first pen and paper. ]

Quills, you say. I don't suppose you would do any writing?

[isolophobia]

[ Indeed that is the problem with children, and it is exactly why Pitch didn't want to leave his fate to children originally. But North was playing the long game, and his genius was seeing tha the key to beleif lay in passing from one generation to another.]

You think so? Perhaps I rather enjoy the status quo.

[ Meaning we can see each other and we're talking. Which is awesome in Pitch's opinion. ]

[amber]

[isolophobia]

[ Wow, has nobody heard of the Boogeyman? ]

Because it is dark.

*amber*

[isolophobia]

[ Definitely important. But there's always someone to kill or someone to marry, or a baby to raise or a country to run. Just because it's important doesn't mean you have to ignore all else. ]

Young man, I will let that comment go, but I am not some garden variety spook. I have watched entire empires be born with their emperors, live their time, and then die. I have seen things that would make you run mad, and I endure. Because old or young all mortals feel fear. I know a great deal about your world. More than I care to, in fact!

[ So there! Hmph! ]

*amber*

[finallyfallen]

[He's dedicated his entire life...or the greater portion of all 18 years to this goal. Letting it go isn't really something he's keen on. Ignoring all else is a bit of a character flaw he has. All a part of falling into depravity.]

...I wasn't implying 'Garden variety' anything.

[Being immortal, or so Hakuryuu assumes based on the 'mortal' comments, is enough to never be 'garden variety'.]

Then why do you care what we do?

*amber*

[isolophobia]

[ Pitch's biggest character flaw is that melodramatic streak a mile wide, if you hadn't noticed already. ]

I'd much rather have those that can see me than those that can't. I am not yet convinced these magic glasses do not have something to do with it.

Re: *amber*

[finallyfallen]

...Can't see?

I'm not suggesting to stop using the Glass.

[So a little confused.]

It may well be the tree. It seems to have a great deal of power.

[princeandscholar]

Really? [And he gives you a questioning look much too innocent for his words.] You seem to be bored with the status quo. Isn’t that why you carry the amber around and sneak into homes? Because you refuse to observe the expectations of an orderly community? I should think you’d be eager to help stir things up a bit. [He waves the feather quill tantalizingly.]

[alley_kit]

[Kit brightens as well, realizing that she's caught his interest.]

I'd like to! But... I kinda don't know how. That's part of why I'm helping Orcelito; I'm hoping he'll teach me.

We need to make sure we have enough supplies though, first; making paper is hard work, and we can't use it all up just for me to practice on.

Re: [amber]

[brbwakingwinds]

[ Well, Link sure hasn't, that's for sure.

Link just...stares for a moment. He's not quite sure he gets it. ]

It's kinda small under there, though.
