[Game 10] Day 5 ... of visit...

[arsnotoria]

The next day, Lucia invites everyone into the main room... "Hey everybody! After all this sitting around and thinking I thought everyone might want to get out and have some fun! Which is to say, laser tag! Let's all go around and harmlessly shoot each other in the dark for a bit, it's a great time also I have never got to do it before because I

[After Laser Tag]

[arsnotoria]

Some black-haired andronynous individual with shockingly red eyes is coming back with you. Lucia seems down with this :).

"Um... hi." They raise a hand a bit awkwardly. "We're Elli and Luka."

[it's not so shocking. I mean you're like the third person here who fits that description]

[...third and fourth?]

...A pleasure.

"It was a fun game..." Elli/Luka's tone switches to a sort of bland playfulness.

[watchmycannon]

You were very skilled at it.

[arsnotoria]

"Elli does a lot of shooting." The tone shifts over again, a bit more awkward/abrupt. "...Though it sounds bad when he puts it like that?"

[watchmycannon]

[shrugs]

You'll have no judgment over it from me. It made you a very enjoyable opponent.

[arsnotoria]

"Thanks," Elli says. "It was a lot of fun, honestly. So you are-?"

[watchmycannon]

Oh, my apologies, how rude-- [bows a little] David Nassau, marquis of Athlum.

[arsnotoria]

"A Marquis?" The flat voice, Luka, sounds interested.

"Um, anyway, it's nice to meet you. I'm the owner of this body and Luka's the guest."

[watchmycannon]

[nods]

That's rather fascinating. Do you mind if I ask about it?

[arsnotoria]

"I don't mind," Elli says, and fiddles with her hair a bit. "The short story may be too short, but... I'm demon-possessed. Luka's a demon."

[watchmycannon]

...You get along remarkably well, compared to the general lore on that sort of thing.

[arsnotoria]

They take a seat, patting the seat beside themselves. "Do you want the long version?"

[watchmycannon]

[sits!]

If you wouldn't mind.

[arsnotoria]

Elli lifts a hand to fiddle with her hair again, until her other hand rises and pushes that hand down.

"I had a twin brother," she says, after a moment. "We moved into a house that -- actually from what I heard when I was shepherding, I think you are familiar with. Bastien Mayfair's old house. My family were new money from Boston and sort of living a dream. Manor in Scotland, how romantic, right? There were secret passages all over the place that my brother and I would explore."
