[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

Okay. Quick, before anyone steals it - do you still have your drugs on you?
[Yes he must ask everyone for drugs.]
Fame and fortune's cool but I haven't dreamed about it in a while. Last night I dreamt about a viking with a laser sword fighting a giant vacuum. What do you think that means?
...unfortunately, no. The facilitators have stripped me of all my possessions. [This is absolutely a lie.] Though--I actually have the ability to create my own form of...what you are referring to.
Quite obviously, it means that you see yourself as the barbarian you named your band after--and fear the circumstance of the black hole nature of life to suck you in with no escape.
Or perhaps, you simply ate too soon before slumber.
Uh, yeah! Duh! I got that. I mean WHICH room!? Do you have a collar? You totally have a collar, oh hell. What number is on your collar, let me see!
[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.
[Jareth glances down and touches his neck, curling his lip when he feels the collar there. Disgusting. He tuns his fingers and suddenly is holding an orb, using the reflection to read the numbers.]
16D. Hm.
I have begun to fully realize what is taking place, and I am very much displeased.
See, funny thing, they put it all back the way it was every week, so you juuuust missed the red velvet curtains I'd put up in there in case you happened to stop by, sorry about that.
[....yeah, okay, blushing and curtsying and treating him with due respect absolutely will work, here. He smiles wider, almost predatory, and nods his head once.]
Your apology, while very much appreciated, is hardly necessary, Kairi.
I am Jareth, King of The Underground. Though many refer to me as the Goblin King. I am most distressed at present, and I admit that your presence is quite calming.
Will you inform me of what you know of this establishment?

Is Magnanimous the name of your band? My band's name in Barbarian Apocalypse.

A rock star?
Not quite, though from what I know of it--I may as well be.
[Okay now is SO not the time for this, but...old habits...] Dream of fame and fortune, do you?

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.

So palmed right now. His voice is a little muffled from between his fingers]
Well.
They did it.
They found the one stupid thing they haven't done yet...
And they did it.
[He gives a little wave]
Evening, Jareth. Welcome to our summer home. this is where we get to be when we're not getting dumped on your doorstep.

Harry. How wonderful to see you again.
[Jareth is quick on the uptake and has mostly realized what's going on. He is extremely NOT PLEASED, but he's not exactly going to show that.]
I am rather disappointed that you did not have the foresight to...spruce the establishment up, a touch. Hardly fit for a King, would you not agree?

How woefully pedestrian of you.
Not that I expected anything different, of course.
You may, upon further reflection, choose to revise your tone. One might think you were not pleased upon my arrival.

I hardly think that this is the proper way to greet a King, dearest heart.

You're a king? Oh! I'm sorry!
[She curtsies as best as she can while holding the device, totally not blushing a little from that compliment.]
It's a pleasure to meet you, King... i'm sorry, I don't think I know your name! I'm Kairi.

Though I cannot help but wonder--is this the face that you prefer..? After experiencing such a different one, of course.

What do you mean?

That is a very impolite way to thank me for bestowing such a gift upon you.
