[The video shows Jack -- what looks like Jack, anyway -- from the chest up, looking considerably less moody than your average. The seal is in his palm facing up and he's playing with one of those little pink beans between his thumb and index. There's the start of a smile in his lips.]

Friendly tip? If it ain't normal, I wouldn't do anything with it.

[creepinginmy]

[Eyes swiftly focus on the seal, now. It's easy enough to recognize that voice.

After a moment of observation, he throws the bean up to catch it in his hand, tucking it away in his pocket.]

Didn't plan to. [Pause. Smile.] Not really part of my diet.

[howkickassiam]

Not gonna lie, I'd be a little concerned if weirdo pink beans were.

[creepinginmy]

[Oh, York, I didn't know you cared.]

I'm sure a lot of people around here have had a lot worse.

[ Edel isn't very observant right off the bat, alright. Lovely accent there, friend. ]

[Oh, Edel. If you only knew what monsters can do in the 'driving people mad' department.]

[creepinginmy]

You're a master of suspense, Edel. [Dry humor delivered with a friendly smile, when he'd really just like to bite his face off for interrupting the best meal he will probably never have.

Where were we?]

Aren't you going to share?

[creepinginmy]

You ought to figure out what they're for, these little things.

[Still tucked between his index and thumb, he wiggles the bean from side to side.]

[creepinginmy]

Can't hurt to show some confidence.

"Trying to keep our dirty hands off your precious food"...by...magically producing more. What are you even trying to say?

[creepinginmy]

[He forgot about her so well, damn it.]

Alternatives.

[Really, even he figured that out.]

[balls_on_fire]

In...more beans. [flat.

none shall mention the fact that she picked one up and just. blindly ate it. without thinking. that's unprofessional.]

[creepinginmy]

Worked last time, didn't it.

Experience has just taught me that it's easier to go a familiar route. In this case, beans.

How long do you give it before the first person falls for it this time?

[creepinginmy]

Can't really say that's any of my concern.

[A beat. Maybe that isn't quite true. He grins.]

As long as there isn't another killing spree around these parts, right?

[oneliners]

I wouldn't call that much of a killing spree.

[creepinginmy]

Why's that?
