3rd video [Action for Freya district]

[thismustbelove]

[Once again, there is a Hurricane on the screen. Legault, dressed in his usual battlewear, is standing somewhere in the Freya district. There are several piles of ice behind him. In one hand, he's holding a rather deadly looking dagger. Its tip is frozen from where the faeries had clawed at it while being attacked.]

Interesting, aren't they? These marionettes of ice, descending upon our lovely city. Deadly, too, or at least somewhat dangerous. Funny thing I learned, though. They aren't soulless. It seems I've melted their hearts with my natural charms, or perhaps my god-given ones. It's creepy, but they stand there and take a hit or two before they remember I'm their enemy. [There. It's him trying to give that advice to Freya, even if someone else already has. He's been busy, but. Charm? It works.]

Well, well, I should probably get back to work. I hardly have an arm for this sort of business, but even a friendless loser like myself should probably help, hmm?

[Legault can't be found in the Freya district. That is to say, unless your character is familiar with hiding in the shadows and sneaking around, he can't be found. He's descending upon these creatures from nowhere, so it's much more likely that anyone passing by may suddenly find a figure appearing from nowhere to assist or take care of another faerie.]

[If I remember this right, we have some faeries that need to be mercilessly slaughtered and a kid who needs to witness this, right?]

[thismustbelove]

[Yes! As soon as Conan passes by the Freya district, at whatever time, he'll come across an ice fairy.

If he watches for a second, he'll see a cloaked figure fall from somewhere on the roof and strike the ice fairy mercilessly with the blunt side of a dagger. Before the charm effect wears off, it's too late for a counterattack.]

[holmes_fanatic]

[Conan's just reaching out with his body control to take the faerie when the attack happens -- too efficiently and quickly for him to do anything but stare in astonishment.

That is--]

[thismustbelove]

[He whirls his blade back into its sheath, a bit worn from being used for bludgeoning. It's only then that he "realizes" it's Conan. That is to say he noticed him sooner, but he's going to act like he didn't.]

Ah, Conan. It's been a while, hasn't it?

[poisonfeathers]

Heh. Sounds like someone's at least gotten some good use out of his abilities.

Been busy, haven't you?

[thismustbelove]

I don't think I need them too often. I'd like to encourage people to enjoy me on their own.

It seems so! I'm not used to this, but I can help when needed. [But then again, given how often Zen has seen him playing with daggers, it's probably pointless to lie.]

[poisonfeathers]

Think you'd be hard-pressed getting them to do that without some encouragement.

[thismustbelove]

You may have a point; there's a certain tragedy to the fact that I have to steal their hearts before I steal their lives, isn't there?

[webbedhands]

Romancing the enemy?

[thismustbelove]

If only a broken heart were enough to kill them.

[webbedhands]

Oh well. Blades work just as well, it seems.

[thismustbelove]

Do they? You're fighting them, too?

[Audio]

[occulthymns]

That's your power? Making things like you?

[Audio]

[thismustbelove]

I wouldn't say that.

I'd say it's more along the lines of...making people like me enough to be willing to take a blow to the head or two.

[Audio]

[occulthymns]

Oh!

... Still sounds useful.

[Audio]

[thismustbelove]

I'll agree with that one.

[lightinheritor]

Such a thing works on them? [And yet. He's not that surprised at all.]

[thismustbelove]

It does, somehow. What curious creatures, hmm, Celice?

[lightinheritor]

They're certainly very odd creatures. The way they've been acting, I wouldn't have expected them to react to much of anything from any of us.

[argyria]

Congratulations.

[thismustbelove]

[And, with all earnesty...]

Ah, thank you. You're too kind.

[argyria]

[No one understands deadpan.]

I hear the opposite. [But whatever, whatever, you're doing something and these things provide good stress relief at least.]

audio/action; just walking down freya district that evening

[crownlessking]

Hey that's just great bro. Everyone's gotta have their own unique style. Just keep the googly eyes away from me.

[thismustbelove]

[He notices where the voice is coming from, but he's not going to run over to Travis for a talk. He'll reply with voice, even if he's nearby.]

Googly eyes?

[crownlessking]

Bro you may be a pretty guy but even I know when there's some goofy ass magic around. You casted a Charm spell or some shit. Probably not a real strong one. These guys are kinda low level anyway.

[ Yes he is horrible and using video game analogies ]
