First thing's first. What's up with these books? Aside from the fact that I can, you know, talk to you all through them.

[A long pause. How to approach this subject...and since she doesn't know how to filter yet:]

Sayaka, are you done moping around yet?

[And for anyone who's in town, one might find a certain red-headed teen juggling some apples

in person! ...if this isn't okay just let me know akgjhgda

[So, Kyouko. Have you ever gotten the feeling that you're being watched? Because, at the moment, you should definitely be getting that feeling. A little boy in the ground has stopped to just stare at you, eyes wide and slightly disbelieving.

And if she doesn't notice him, hey, that's cool! Because a moment later he suddenly appears RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER and continues to stare. ....except, he isn't looking at her face. Nope.

He's looking at her ring.]

What did you do?

always ok 8>

[foodchains]

[Nearly dropping an apple -- oh fuck, did he see her take those?]

[foodchains]

[That is until she spots what he's looking at. She doesn't settle though, since that ring is...you know, pretty important.]

Huh? Who the hell are you?

[bedninja]

[He stares at the ring for a moment longer, as if waiting for it to do some magical trick and NOT be what it so blatantly is. Except it doesn't.

So he totally ignores her question, and turns his attention up to Kyouko's face (though he... might be a few inches off from actually getting the location of her eyes right) to glare at her. Lifting a hand to point at the ring in a very accusatory way.]

If this is not yours then I demand it be returned to it's proper owner this instant.

[foodchains]

H-how can you--

[oh man GENUINELY FREAKED OUT HERE since the last thing she had seen regarding the gems was what happened to Sayaka. Can he really see her gem in there???

Its a defense mechanism, shifting to her magi self, stepping back and pointing her spear at him. After stuffing the unbitten apple in her pocket, of course.]

Stop fooling around! Of course its mine! Who the fuck are you?

[bedninja]

[....oh great now he's going to seem like a pervy little kid because he's staring at her chest instead of her hand THANKS FOR THAT.]

Just how am I the one fooling around? If that is yours then you are the one with your soul shoved into such a thing! [He just looks so indignant about this whole thing. Indignant, and... maybe juuust slightly horrified in a way. Another version of "himself" not doing their job properly... what was wrong with the other worlds?! Also not reacting to her spear at all, and... ignoring her again. Sorry about that.]

I will ask you again; what did you do?

[foodchains]

[Its how she do. But the fact that he pinned it straight on the mark only reaffirms her decision to...not say anything.]

Are you kidding me?? Who the hell do you think you are? I don't have to tell you anything!

You may call me Pharos; it is the simplest way to introduce myself at this point in time. This Castle is my jurisdiction, and I will not tolerate such things being done here!

[bedninja]

[He glares for a moment longer, before the expression just... falls from his face, to a more upset sort of look.]

Such a thing... you did not do this to yourself, did you?

[foodchains]

[His jurisdiction...another creature like Kyuubey, perhaps? In that case, she'd have nothing to fear in theory but...he certainly seemed distraught for someone like that.]

...why does it matter to you what I did or didn't do? Those are pretty personal questions, you know.

That's like asking what color my underwear is. [......only you know, about ten times more personal than that. Kyouko was never good at metaphors or analogies that didn't involve food.]

[bedninja]

[....okay, even Pharos has to kind of go silent at that. What even..]

I am... very certain that the two are almost nothing alike... And I would have no reason to ask what the color of your underwear is even if they were alike.

[foodchains]

Whatever. It's none of your business as far as I'm concerned anyway.

[bedninja]

[Staring at her for a very long moment. It passes, though, and he nods.]

You do no have to tell me if you do not wish to, though I would appreciate it if you did.

...But be aware of this; if you are the person responsible for your current state, and you attempt to do the same thing to anyone else within this world, I will not allow it. And you may most definitely consider that a threat.

[foodchains]

[...ok that answer is a better one, threat aside.]

I'm responsible...but I can tell you I don't have that kind of ability.

You remind me of someone who does, though. Maybe a little more emotional. [...ok a lot more emotional.]

[bedninja]

[...so it wasn't her fault after all. A victim of some kind of attack, perhaps..? It was too soon to say for sure.]

In theory I would have no issue with actually being able to do such a thing; on the contrary, it would likely be quite easy to manage. But I would not actually do so to a living being. Such things are not meant to be tampered with.

[foodchains]

I bet its a pretty comfortable job in comparison. But whatever. I don't care.
