.001 ♛ [Video]

[The screen would flicker on with the sound of a few things hitting the wall. It would seem that something had knocked the device to the floor with some force and accidentally powered it on. Though whoever might be listening is getting a view of the ceiling, a particularly irritated voice can be heard ranting about her current circumstances.]

...unforgivable. Absolutely unforgivable. When I find out who is responsible for this, I'll tear their heart out and feed it to them.

[Another broken cup, perhaps? Either way, it's in pieces, now. Seems like it's taken some of the wind out of her sails, though.]

No furniture. No Ronove. No magic. What kind of hellhole is this? M...maybe this is hell. ...No...but this definitely isn't Rokkenjima.

[And then the device on the floor caught her eye. To the viewer, the angry voice would give way to a stately looking blonde with an inquisitive stare.]

A tape-recorder...?

But there's plenty of furniture, isn't there?

[best-king.livejournal.com]

And here I thought hissy fits were reserved to spoiled children.

[golden-nocturne.livejournal.com]

Ah...so not a tape recorder, then.
How odd.
Anyway, that's not the type of furniture I'm referring to.
Who are you? Do you know who brought me here?

[heavenscorpse.livejournal.com]

My name is V/V, and I don't know. There are a lot of us who've been brought here recently, and we're still not sure what's done all this to us.

[golden-nocturne.livejournal.com]

Funny. I don't recall inviting you to mine.

[best-king.livejournal.com]

I don't need an invitation. I'm always the guest of honor.

[golden-nocturne.livejournal.com]

Hm. Another cage, then. I can deal with that.
Please, call me Beatrice. Is there anything else you can tell me about this place?

[heavenscorpse.livejournal.com]

Whatever you were before, your body is human now. And monsters show up at night. Those are important things, aren't they?

[golden-nocturne.livejournal.com]

Now who's being spoiled? If you're such a terribly important person here, you must know all about why I was brought in. Care to enlighten me?

[golden-nocturne.livejournal.com]

Monsters? Glorious. And I'm to fight them by hand, then?
Yes, dear. That's quite important. Thank you.
Was everyone here taken from somewhere else...or do you know?

[heavenscorpse.livejournal.com]

You can summon something out of your mind called a Persona. Those help.

The people in the day who are normal citizens of this city turn into coffins at night.

[golden-nocturne.livejournal.com]

I...think I need to lie down.
I suppose this Persona is a type of magic here?
But, coffins? I'm afraid you've gone over my head with that.

[heavenscorpse.livejournal.com]

It's like magic!

If you see coffins during the night, those are actually people.

[best-king.livejournal.com]

Now, now. There's a difference between a spoiled brat and a king. Care to take a guess as to which I am?

[ Because the gaudy wallpaper and crimson curtains behind him totally prove nothing. ]

As for why, it wouldn't be any fun if I simply told you, would it? Figure it out for yourself.

[golden-nocturne.livejournal.com]

Hm. So Persona is furniture here.
I doubt they will be as fine as the ones I have back on the island, but I'll manage somehow.
You've been quite helpful, Miss V/V. Do you by any chance believe in witches~?

[heavenscorpse.livejournal.com]

I believe in a lot of things! Why?

[golden-nocturne.livejournal.com]

I'm going to be obvious and go with brat.
Someone as childish as you are couldn't possibly be a king.

You can't tell what you don't know, right~?
You're just someone uprooted as I was.
It seems you'll be of little use to me, then. Pity.~

[golden-nocturne.livejournal.com]

Because where I come from, I'm a very powerful witch.
And I have a special liking for people who believe in me.
It would put us on rather friendly terms, I believe.~

[heavenscorpse.livejournal.com]

Okay. Then, I believe in witches. If you say you're one, you must be one.

[best-king.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm sorry. You're completely wrong. You don't even get the crappy consolation prize.

I AM a king. But not just any king. I am the legendary King of Heroes, the very same king who defeat the Bull of Heaven with his loyal brother Enkidu. I am Gilgamesh of Uruk.

Offer your praises now, and perhaps I'll consider delaying your execution until a later date.

[golden-nocturne.livejournal.com]

If only everyone was as agreeable as you are, my dear.
It would save me so much time and effort.

Now, I wonder. How does someone obtain one of these Persona creatures?
Are they hard to locate?

[heavenscorpse.livejournal.com]

Not hard at all. The first time you summon them, they usually come when you're in danger.

[golden-nocturne.livejournal.com]

[A pause...and then a most unholy cackle.]

A king?! A king, he says?!

You're a child! You're no legend.~
I'd be surprised if you slayed the monsters under your bed!

It's you who should praise me, you insolent pup.
Beg me nicely not to gouge out your pretty eyes and I might have mercy.~ ♥

[golden-nocturne.livejournal.com]

Fair enough, then. I know well enough how to summon furniture.
How do I find these monsters of which you speak?

[best-king.livejournal.com]

[ That's perfectly fine. He'll match her cackles, but they are totally more creepy. ...Although there might be a extra slight hint of annoyance in his voice this time. ]

Me, not a legend? Ha! Just who the hell do you think you are to go around saying such blasphemes? You're nothing more than an uncultured wretch who obviously doesn't know her place. Don't you have some dishes you should be cleaning right now?
