[ week 11, day 5 | accidental video ]

[cursetheking]

[ There's a sudden rustling of a body in an expansive field, not far from the place of the great tree. A woman with hair green and flowing like the grass all around her cracks open her eyes - a distinctive shade of gold, quite a contrast to her ghostly skin. The angle makes it hard to make out any other features, as the Hitomi is laying some

[there is a certain mysterious flair about this woman that even Break can pick up over the brief video. She seems like quite the character and the way she speaks denotes vast experience. Oh what's this? She knows Lelouch? Even more interesting indeed. Now he has to speak with her]

You are quite correct about this place not being Kyoto, miss.

Welcome to Kannagara. You will probably be here for a while just giving you that little bit of heads up warning.

Re: [ video ]

[redeyeslasher]

no but they would ask the nearest parent figure. I know one who would probably get a migraine from trying to explain if he recovered from his mind breaking in the first place that is.

[Break grins in kind]

Indeed. Let's hope they remember that.

[cursetheking]

Maybe their parent figures should monitor what they're watching more closely, then. That's not my responsibility.

[ Something else about that smile bothers the witch... but she dismisses it for the moment, just settling him with a pointed look. ]

Hmph. You sound like you sample little ones on the side yourself.

Re: [ video ]

[redeyeslasher]

Well it is not like they can take the Hitomi from them. It seems to have a knack of returning unscathed back to it's owner no matter how far or how thoroughly you may demolish it

[he blinks, faking surprise]

Nonsense. I always hand out treats to the little ones. They are drawn to the offer of candy like flies.

[cursetheking]

You realize that makes you sound like a pedophile, right?

[ Trust C.C. to always tell it like it is, in as direct (and embarrassing) a manner as possible. ]

Re: [ video ]

[redeyeslasher]

[and trust Break to not feel embarrassed at all for he is the king of shamelessness]

Oh I've been called far worse. In the end it doesn't matter what people call me. All that matters is what I do.

[ video ] I was expecting that face and I still cringed. XD

[cursetheking]

Oh.

[ A pause, and then... ]

I like men of action.

I think you and I are going to get along just fine.

[ Unpredictable, indeed. But at least Break seems to have won her favor. For now. ]

Re: [ video ] I was expecting that face and I still cringed. XD

[redeyeslasher]

[haha so she WAS indeed testing him. My oh my crafty one aren't you. Break doesn't hate cunning people. It help keep his wit sharp]

in that case I shall look forward to our future encounters. Perhaps face to face even.

[man of action indeed. But not a reckless one. You've earned yourself a very high place on his list of interesting people C.C.]

[ video ]

[cursetheking]

Aren't you afraid I might try to tempt you? Witches are known for being vixens.

Unless you're particularly confident in your ability to resist me, Mr. Break. I wonder why they call you that...

[ She grins suggestively at the screen. Or is that at him? The feeling of fascination of mutual. This world was full of unique people, and she couldn't wait to meet them all. ]

[ video ]

[redeyeslasher]

[Break has to laugh at that. Though it's not mocking or anything. On the contrary it's quite earnest and shows how much he is enjoying this little intellectual spar]

Resisting temptation is a skill you polish by giving in to it. And I have made such mistakes more than once. Then again being tempted by one such as yourself may not prove such a bad thing. Providing you can succeed in doing so, of course. I wouldn't make it easy for you either way.

[oh he can do suggestive grins as well see?]

[ video ]

[cursetheking]

[ That laugh is inherently dangerous, much like Lelouch's, but C.C. can't help but be drawn to it. She's naturally attracted to scheming men, it seems. ]

You, make mistakes? Perish the thought. What are we, though, but men and women? It's forgivable.

[ Except Break is no mere man, and C.C. is no mere woman. These are delicious lies they're weaving, and while C.C. ordinarily hates lies, she's developing quite a fondness - or rather fascination - for Break. ]

The best things in life never come easily, Mr. Break. Trust me [ ahahahaha ] when I say I'm accustomed to stubborn fellows such as yourself.

Re: [ video ]

[redeyeslasher]

[a chuckle filled with a bit of mirth and experience]

I was young, foolish and blind.

[smirks at that. The feeling is quite mutual. This exchange is by far the most enjoyable he has had since coming here]

Such a high appraisal. I am flattered. You certainly seem more...experienced at this than my previous playmate.

[ video ]

[cursetheking]

Aren't we all, at some point?

[ But C.C. doesn't even remember when was any of those things, it's been so long. ]

Don't be. It's not flattery, just an honest observation. You can always expect that from me.

[ The mention of a 'playmate' puts her at some unease, but she masks it behind a perfected smile. ]

And dare I ask what happened to them?

[cursetheking]

[ C.C. catches the gesture, but refrains from comment. She's well-versed on the subject of mismatched eyes. ]

Your world certainly sounds like an interesting place if you're a product of it.
