I see that there are quite a few newcomers to our... 'friendly' hovel, and I wish to make my acquaintance with each of you

How's it goin'? I don't have any fancy-schmancy titles like that, but you can call me Blackbeard! Nice to meet ya, High Court Empire General Mr. Kefka-san! [Yeah, he got a bit muddled up with all the titles.]

[voice]

[chaoticelement]

An honor to meet you, sir Blackbeard~! And please, Kefka is fine. I don't put much emphasis on titles outside of introductions.

[...Otherwise, he'd have introduced himself as 'god of magic'.]

[voice]

[zehahaha]

'Kay, Kefka! Ya said ya were a mage; what's that? Can ya make a rabbit come out of a hat or somethin'?

[voice]

[chaoticelement]

I do not do that brand of magic. That is simply smoke and mirrors, cheap parlor tricks.

What I do is much more real. I can bend the very elements around us, imposing my will on the very fabric of reality.

[Vash isn't going to be saying anything Kefka - but he's watching you. He doesn't really trust what you say, but he doesn't want to stir up trouble either.]

[chaoticelement]

[Oh, it's not Vash that will be stirring up trouble, heavens no. That's Kefka's schtick. Especially after having found a kindred spirit in Dilandau.]

[univalent]

Well aren't you special.

[ voice ]

[chaoticelement]

And why shouldn't I be?

[ voice ]

[univalent]

Everybody's special, if you want to be fed a dose of that feel-good self-esteem crap.

[ voice ]

[chaoticelement]

Oh yes, everyone is special. That doesn't make them unique quite like me. Of course this could be empty boasting or hollow posturing.

I could always give you a demonstration, should you need one.

[A high court mage? An impressive title, and he certainly sounds nice enough. Might be a good guy to have on his side.]

Greetings, sir Kefka. My name is Tienei Surubalu Tattoi. [It sounds vaguely forced, like he's just using his whole name to sound impressive.]

[voice]

[chaoticelement]

Please, just Kefka is fine. It is an honor to meet you, Tienei, correct?

[voice]

[ricketytrickery]

I go by Tattoi. Easy mistake to make.

You been here long? It sounds like you're the designated greeter.

[voice]

[chaoticelement]

Ah, Tattoi it is then~!

Not too long, and I'm far from the designated greeter, I've just been out of the loop as late, and thought I'd get caught up as it were.

[innocentemerald]

Oh, sir Palazzo! Are you doing better, now? [/concern concern]

[chaoticelement]

I am at that, miss Nino. All thanks to you and lady Rebecca's expert skills. You have my deepest gratitude.

[innocentemerald]

That was no problem! I'm just glad that you're okay. [She fidgets a little here, showing obvious signs that she's asked questions in the past and got scorned for being too nosy - hence unsure if she should or not.

Curiosity, however, always do win out. Even when it's out of pure concern.] ...I won't ask more if you don't want to talk about it, sir, but may I ask what happened? I've never seen wounds like the ones you had, on Elibe!...

[chaoticelement]

It's quite alright, miss Nino. I was in a bit of an accident in the forest, and with the nature of my powers, my physical condition is rather poor, and my injuries are often more severe than on a normal person.

What may only give you a bruise, may break my arm if I'm not careful. Which is why I strive to incorporate my magic into all aspects of my life, so as to compensate for my weak body.
