[Video] || Experiment 1 Ͽ

[scholastical]

[The dreamberry clicks on, and the face of the man that peers into it is excited...Though if one looks closely, there is a fresh, spreading bruise across one of his temples. He had a bit of a run-in with a malicious scarecrow.

Still, his excitement is unmistakable.]

Goodness, is this--

It is recording my voice, isn't it? But such a device has only

Comments

[ragnalol]

It's powered by dreams! And unicorn tails. And the blood of virgin sacrifices.

The bruise adds character, though. Where'd you get it?

[scholastical]

[You jerk, Loki. He believes you, pausing and blinking.]

Dreams? That would agree with the information the other--

Unicorn tails and the blood of virgin sacrifices...? That would be a rather unefficent source of power, wouldn't it?

[Then he laughs a little sheepishly.]

Oh, well, I hadn't expected the scarecrow to move. Though the small fact that they can really opens up many possibilities for further studies!

[ragnalol]

[...:D]

Not really. Have you tried them? Blood magic is pretty powerful, you know.

Eh? You should be more careful! Even the roses here are known to be poisonous sometimes.

[scholastical]

[That pings him. He's excited now.]

Magic through the use of blood? I've never heard of such a practice. How does it work, exactly? How is it powerful, exactly? In offensive abilities, or--

...Poisonous roses? Really?

[ragnalol]

That depends. Most people consider it evil. Would you like to become evil?

[He grins.]

Look, we have a floating castle. Surely poisonous flowers would be nothing compared to that?

[scholastical]

Well, though many people consider something evil, it is not necessarily so. The elder magics I myself use are often wrongfully called "dark", after all.

Ah. Well, that's true.

[ragnalol]

Dark is pretty different from evil, you know! And - you're a magician?

[insert properly awed face here.]

[scholastical]

Ah, but often most people consider the two to be synonymous.

But no, I am just a simple druid.

[ragnalol]

Ah, it's a shame, that.

But druids are never simple - druids who use dark magic, more so. Are you a scholar as well?

[scholastical]

It is a shame, but misperceptions are never easy to remove.

I am. I would say my true calling is that of a scholar, yes.
