Jareth ◊ First Request ◊ Video
[The 'berry is being used expertly, for someone who has just arrived in the facility. Probably because--not only has this someone actually used one of these before, but he was in a whole bunch of minds that knew how to use them, too

SERIOUSLY?! This is terrible and amazing at the same time. DUDE! Where are you?

[He sneers, and it turns into some sort of smile--Jareth is piecing things together here, and he's not exactly happy about it.]
I am in a room, dear one. A room that I am not quite familiar with, as you hopefully deigned from my announcement.

[She tries her best to look sympathetic despite how glad she is to see him and that still semi-fucked up eye.]
Sorry, your majesty, pretty sure you're a subject now. Like us. Uh... test subject, not royal... subject. So yeah. I don't know if that's better or worse.

16D. Hm.
I have begun to fully realize what is taking place, and I am very much displeased.
Come here at once.

[She smirks, tries for a flourish-y bow, and pockets the 'berry.
It's not long before she's knocking on his door.]
Just me, obs.
Reply
[Jareth is still looking into his orb, inspecting the collar.]
I am not a supporter of such a thing 'round my neck.
[His eyes flick up to Kenzi, nodding his head in greeting--and then looking annoyed.] What being has injured your lovely face, dear one?
Reply
[She leans against the wall, still grinning. It's just so good to see someone she thought was lost. Someone fae. A link to Bo and her life back home, even if he was from an entirely different place.]
Oh, this? There were these crazy dudes in this space western place and it was all chaos and gunshots. Good news is, crazy dudes are gone. Bad news? We're still stuck here.
Reply
[He walks towards Kenzi and smirks.] Perhaps you should cease making a habit of finding yourself in the thick of chaos. It seems to be quite the past time of yours. [Jareth extends a hand and spreads his palm in front of Kenzi's face, then taking it away.]
You can at least look as if you've known better, at any rate.
[Her eye looked completely healed, if she checked it. No marks on her face whatsoever. Jareth smiles and blinks once more.] And perhaps...
[Kenzi's hair is now blonde.]
Reply
[WOAH! And then his palm is all up in front of her face and the stinging is gone and she's touching her eye--
...
........... Did you just BLONDIFY me? [Without her permission?!?!] Please don't tell me you're planning matching pantsuits next. I can't rock the tights as well as that Strider kid can. [She doesn't have the bulge for it.]
Reply
--sometimes, I do feel as if you speak a different language than me, Kenzi. And I speak all of them.
[He chuckles to himself and looks amused.] I hope that you are not implying that I am not a superb dresser. [He raises his hand as if he's actually going to put her in a matching outfit, and then changes his mind and drops it back to his side.]
Then again.
[Jareth snaps his fingers and she is in this dress.] There are certain perks to being in the proverbial corner of the Goblin King.
Reply
[Suddenly she is in the most beautiful dress she has ever SEEN and she is just staring down at herself. She'd never be able to afford something even 1/3 the price of this gorgeousness and now she was just wearing it? No strings? No credit card necessary?! Oh... oh god. Oh god she might cry happy, HAPPY tears.]
I can't even-- How have I ever lived without you? WHERE have you BEEN all my life?! I totally missed your smug face.
Reply
[He smiles wide at her reaction, snapping his fingers once more and donning the black, less formal ensemble sans cape.]
And you are not hesitant of our friendship?
There are many positive repercussions of keeping council with me, naturally. But I do hope you have realized that not all of your fellow subjects are quite as...grateful for my presence.
Reply
No.
We're friends and they can just deal with it. You helped me out when we were at your place, I'm gonna help you out now. I'm not leaving you with no one in this hellhole.
Reply
It is not an idea to be taken lightly, as a warning.
And I will continue to help you as much as my limited power allows. When the populace is on F3 excursions, I am back to full power--and I offer you the extent of my abilities to protect and mend you. As well as for whatever other frivolities you may need, of course.
Reply
[She holds out a pinky. Really, it's a no-brainer. She would have helped him without all the side benefits.
... Although, the perks kind of ROCK!]
Pinky swear.
Reply
--there is something else you must swear to, if we are to be associates.
[He takes a step back and closes his eyes--and in a blink, where Jareth once stood is now a snowy white barn owl, fluttering in place and finally landing on the desk. He preens for a moment and looks at her, looking nothing but proud of himself.]
