i'll indulge these intriques; ACTION&VOICE
"Gilded Castle"...
[he's standing barefoot at the gates to said castle, staring up at it with the kind of smirk someone has when they're humoring a bad joke. wondering aloud is broadcasting aloud; the new seal is bound around his dexterous hand - he'll have to gnaw the strap if he wants it off. but...eh, he'll worry about it later ( Read more... )

Ah-!
[ He stops then, realizing there's someone right in front of him near the entrance! Oh look, perhaps this man wouldn't ignore him... not that Edel was entirely sure that's what he wanted in the first place.
He waited to see what the man would do, but of course he isn't taking to account that just spoke out loud. ]

an eyebrow quirks. he notes the uncertain posture, the key...
he gestures vaguely with the raising of a wrapped arm.]
Is your house, here? A little big.
Reply
Absolutely not, I would never dream of spending a grotesque amount of resources on a manor of any sort.
[ He thins his lips now, looking up at the castle ]
...I'm sure it'd be a lonely life to live in a big box by yourself.

though that latest remark threatens to get an eyeroll; Alex manages to look up and away before any indication of that.]
Not meant for living alone in. Not without slaves or, eh...servants and the likes.
[he makes a thoughtful sound, glancing down as he tosses his key up and down, landing in the flat of his wrapped palm.] Hm-! Could be...mystery solved. Could be we are not to be guests, but servants, yes?
Reply
That'd be a terrible excuse to call us here. I guess it would cement the fact that we were kidnapped. For servitude? It seems...
[ he shrugs ]
...Ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous. Not to mention, I have few household worthy skills...
Reply
he chuckles.]
Is as ridiculous as opening a music box and to be standing in a foreign room? [a shrug.] It is what has happened to me. I think that is stranger than this could be.

Magic. Nothing more, nothing less. It's probably the work of a sorceress or warlock, to act against the laws of civility in relation to magic... honestly, this is why it's such a dangerous entity.
Reply
a soft sound.]
I do not know of magic that can do that...Those kinds of doors only open to one place, and, eh...strange castles are not on the other side, I believe.
You say it is different?
Reply
Of course it's different. Nothing here seems to follow any of the laws of magic. What's the meaning of this...

Time to explore! [U COMIN', BRO? cuz we gots keys to a castle.]
Reply
...Sure, why not.

where we hit a new problem. so let's just wait for our happiest new sidekick to follow, looking back over at him...]
You will, eh...have to do the honors. [holding up his useless hands, bending his one good finger in a morbid hello.] I believe you understand.

I...
[ His face turned a slight color of red, perhaps from shame for how impudent he'd been till now. ]
Yes, of course. Allow me.
Reply
he sidesteps with a bow.]
Grateful, yes. Very kind of you.
Reply
[ The irritation he felt was certainly clear here. ]
It's... my duty to help others. [ He pauses to think of how to word this ]
... As a citizen of St. Helena, it's our Queen's wish to help wherever we can. Alchemy and magic are for the people's use and I'm an extension of that.
That's all.

Perhaps you are from too far away. [shrug.] Is possible.
