in which things do not go as planned

[huaaaaagh]

Who: Kirito, OTA
Broadcast: Y
Action: SS Paisley
When: Today's fine!


( video )

[The view switches on to reveal Kirito in the Spriggan avatar, crouched low with the camera tilted up towards him. Looks like it's on the ground.]

Okay, I'm using the comm so I have a record of what this looks like. I tried to encrypt it to make it private, but that's not my augment, so who knows if it worked. Feel free to ignore!

[He finishes fidgeting with the comm, tilting it at just the right angle, then disappears behind it for a second before reappearing at a distance, one hand lifted above his head.]

Þeír hræða nótt dýpt, renn helvegr!*

[As he begins, the full spell materializes in front of him in gold text and rotates around his body; when each word is spoken, it flashes white and vanishes. Once the full incantation is done, his body is consumed by a tornado of dark smoke, obscuring him from view. There's a muffled roar, and a burst of fire immediately following, and suddenly the room rumbles, knocking the comm off-balance.

When the smoke is clear the only thing visible is the cargo bay ceiling. There's a moment of scuffling and an "ow, geez!" in the background before finally a thumping of footsteps, heavier than someone ought to have with Kirito's stature. Through the smoke, one might catch fleeting glances of curled horns, dark fur, and glowing red eyes.

When at last he speaks, his voice is oddly distorted, something off about it.]

Whoa, okay, uh- crap. ....Paisley crew? Maybe don't go to the cargo bay for a while...?


( paisley )

[Anyone who happens to feel like wandering into the cargo bay despite his warning will find a ten-foot-tall hellbeast hunched over in the corner trying (and failing) to look inconspiculous, chanting quietly and looking kind of pathetic, appearance aside.]


[*Kirito's spell is Norse. Meaning, "Frighten them, depth of the night, and chase them along the roads of Hell."]

[... what the fuck]

Was that magic?

[huaaaaagh]

[....crap, it was public.

He's not appearing on camera yet, so enjoy the nice ceiling view.]

Yeah, uh. Apparently?

[experiencepoints]

[... she just sighs, loudly.]

Did you know spells could do that to you?

[arcanepower]

[What the fuck. No, really, what the fuck.]

That was an immense arcane release. Are you all right?

[huaaaaagh]

I'm okay! No injuries! ...Er, I hit my head, but nothing serious.

[He may have knocked over some crates.]

[What the fuck, dude. Clay's leaned back in his chair, eyes wide, before he sloooowly leans back in a bit.]

Kiri... to?

[huaaaaagh]

[oh geez oh geez]

Yes! Hi! Everything's A-OK!

[complicatedliar]

[Well, there's a spell he recognizes. And he has a good guess...

So Loki wanders down to the cargo bay, a cup of tea in hand. He steps inside and sniffs, noting the ambient smell of magic having been charged through the air. And of course, he notices the thing hunched in the corner.

Loki takes a sip of his tea.]

Gotten in a bit over your head?

[But this is automatically interesting because it's magic.]

Action

[huaaaaagh]

[Ahaha...

The very public post was pretty much inviting this, so Kirito shouldn't be surprised, but even so, he hunches over even further than before. Apparently it's very possible for a hellbeast to resemble a scolded puppy.]

It's um. It's supposed to wear off.

[deviances]

[ as a fan of both magic and blazes of fire, Eithan is absolutely watching this spectacle, sorry, Kirito.

He's grinning, anticipating this to be some sort of super awesome spell, but the moment that "crap" comes, he's immediately concerned. He knows how dangerous magic can be. Besides, the guy sounds... different...? And all he can see are some pretty monstrous features... huh. ]

Holy shit, dude! Hey, you okay over there?

[ video ]

[huaaaaagh]

[He is never going to be able to show his face publically again, is he?

Well, at least it was an avatar...]

Yep, still breathing! No need to worry, haha...

[Interesting. Crowley peers at the screen, like he's looking at an exhibit at a zoo. ]

Might want to be careful. Using Hell in your incantations. You never seen Doctor Faustus? That sort of thing attracts attention.

Video

[huaaaaagh]

Oh, is that what it means? I don't actually have a translation, I just know what it does.

[He's not surprised, though, considering the nature of where it comes from and the fairy race he'd chosen. They're all about darkness and whatnot.]

[video]

[privatizes]

Can we keep the burning hellfire to a minimum?

[ god ]

And as a special FYI, you officially need a permission slip to come onto the Pathstone. No spontaneous combustion policy.

[video]

[huaaaaagh]

[has he ever even visited that ship

....

nope]

What, are you the boss over there?

[pneumo]

Kirito.....you're a gremlin?!

[ THIS WHOLE TIME AND YOU NEBER TOLD HIM?? ]

[huaaaaagh]

I'm not a gremlin!

[Where the heck did you get that from? Just because he has horns and a tail now, gosh.]

[ladybro]

Uh. Kirito. You okay?

video »

[huaaaaagh]

[Oof.]

Affirmative. I hit my head.

[And nothing else! No stuck transformations or magic shenanigans here, no sir.]

[Video]

[goldenglasses]

Ahhh!

You okay over there? Fire on a space ship is very bad. [Look at that smoke.]

[Video]

[huaaaaagh]

[It is indeed a lot of smoke. Thankfully it's starting to fade away- all part of the illusion.]

It's supposed to look bad! The whole point is to make a dramatic appearance.

[Holy crap. Between this and Theon's little tantrum, Stefan's had a hell of a week. He can't exactly tell what's going on, but you know what, he's gonna rush over to the cargo bay and see for himself.

The cargo bay looks fine? The fire doesn't seem to have injured anything in there (and God, he was half-hoping his half-empty crate of t-shirts would've been affected.)

He's not sure what he's looking for, so he'll call out,] Kirito? Everything okay?

action

[huaaaaagh]

[What is it about "don't come here" do you people not understand, gosh. He gets it, though. It's kind of nice to be cared about, even when it's inconvenient.

Kirito's tucked away behind a couple of stacked boxes, a pair of horns and a snaked tail sticking out.]

Um, yeah. Everything's just fine!
