WHO Chris Halliwell
BROADCAST Accidental Fleet-wide video (thanks Atroma!!)
ACTION SS Huntress.
WHEN May 10th. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY.
WARNINGS don't play fetch with the soulball

[ The video is abrupt, the angle awkward. It cuts on to a comm laying on what appears to be a dining table in a fully upgraded kitchen. Chris is standing off-center, facing someone who is holding what appears to be a lightly-glowing orb in his hands.

This appears to be a very controversial thing, holding a glowy ball. ]


They gave you grandad?! It's a casino! Where the hell did they even get that?

Actually, where the hell do you even keep that now? Or... then. Back then? Whatever. How do you play slots to win your father's soul?

It was called Paradisa. The Castle was the main source of magic, providing for us, but there were no other sources I could detect. In my own world, magic runs in lines through the earth, gathering at points called nodes. I learned to draw from these nodes for magic in addition to my own.

[ Nerds indeed. ]

Then perhaps best to view it as a gift if it is not broken and there is no malignant aura to it.

Yes, it is troublesome. Especially since I believed I was going home. But if it could take from all these other worlds, taking from the one I was in before is hardly out of the realm of possibility.

Possibly, though I have not been here long enough truly say what strings Atroma likes to wrap around its gifts.

The Castle let us go. It opened the door ways home, and I had stepped through... and woke up here.

Perhaps the items are simply meant to induce new reactions for the entertainment of the audience.

I wish I could tell you more, but that is all I know. Whatever magics the Castle had were beyond me.

I am sure some people enjoyed your reaction to seeing it.

[ His tone betrayed his irritation at that idea, finding it reprehensible at best. ]

No, I would say not. I cannot feel any, except what magic I have and on those who possess it already themselves.

That would be my guess, yes.

Of course. It did not seem a conversation you would want shared for all and sundry to hear. I know our purpose is supposedly entertainment, but some matters are not meant for outside ears.

[personal profile] peacockherald 2015-05-11 06:18 am (UTC)(link)

Agreed. But I don't really expect a thing that kidnaps us for base entertainment to really care much about that.

[personal profile] peacockherald 2015-05-11 06:33 am (UTC)(link)

Careful. If I learned anything in Paradisa, it is that such words tempt fate.

[ He's very serious, Chris. You have no idea what kind of crap Paradisa put them through. ]

[personal profile] peacockherald 2015-05-11 06:37 am (UTC)(link)

Indeed. Those words in particular are rather powerful, especially for summoning woe.

Superstition that to often turns into reality.

[ Seriously, you say one thing about how it could be worse and suddenly it happens. That is not superstition, that is dark magic. ]

Always, especially when our comfort does not produce ratings.

[ He hasn't been here long, but he's figured that much out. ]

[personal profile] peacockherald 2015-05-13 04:03 am (UTC)(link)

I am not even sure how one checks one's... rating. It seems so arbitrary.

[personal profile] peacockherald 2015-05-14 02:14 am (UTC)(link)

I suppose we might never find out. It is probably more entertaining if we struggle in the dark.
