[Sound comes on, but the video hasn't engaged yet. What follows is a series of obscenities that would make women blush and children cover their ears in practically any world they were understood. Fortunately, unless one spoke Conclave Common or the language of Espedon's homeworld, you'd be spared the atrocity. The video feed turns on and he. Looks

[A young boy in his early teens at most, peers squintingly at the camera, blinking as if to clear his vision, but he still manages to have a rather haughty expression on his face.]

Anger management issues much?

Espedon? Don't hurt anyone, what's wrong? What are you missing?

The Seventh. That little ts'aleh took it away. I don't know how or why, and I don't care. But when I have it back, she's going to pay.

The seventh what? What's...ts'aleh?

Espedon, please, don't hurt her. She's just a little girl.

MY SWORDS, RITSUKA!

[A roar. Takes a breath. Rubs temple.]

She's not what she looks like. 'Little girls' can't do what she does. It's a face, I know it. And she crossed the line.

Good luck with that.

I know she is very creepy, but she is still a little kid. Please calm down and find a more...humane manner to getting the stolen item back. Please.

[The look Grimmer gets is an angry one. It's a controlled fury, but the distance between the two is a fortunate thing.]

She's not human, and she's not a 'little kid'. And what she took is my life. I will have it back, and then I will have her see why you don't touch things that aren't yours.

[smilinggrimmer]

[Grimmer paused, recognizing that expression as something that you do not mess with. It'd taken him awhile to learn how to recognize that one, sadly through trail and error.]

Fine..fine, calm down~ Still, what exactly do you consider to be 'your life?' I'll try to keep an eye out for it, along with everything else that others have lost.

Fortunately for me, I have not lost anything too important.

[To Grimmer, she looked and acted like a (albiet disturbed) little girl, and he'd believe that until he saw proof for himself. Even though earlier he had witnessed the arrival of zombie-mobs and ghosts, he still came from 1998 Europe, where no magic existed, and as such he was reluctant to conclude that something was "magic" until he was certain that it was magic. He would not outwardly doubt those that claimed to be from 'fantasy' worlds though; he would just smile, nod, and stay neutral until he could decide for himself.]

[He finally seemed to be getting his mind back, but it was taking effort. That the man's pupils were in the shape of a blade might have given the following a little added impact.]

Sword. Or, one sword, divided into many. I call it the Seventh, the centerpiece of thirteen blades, and it's been taken, along with its pieces. It should be impossible, but it's gone. All I've got is this pathetic thing-

[He waved what appeared to be a Japanese blade in a black sheath. It looked finely crafted, a prize by any measure, but Espedon was nonplussed.]

-which is hardly compensation.
