[at first: a woman's giggle. the screen flickers on, the edge of a delicate fingernail uncovering the lens of the Dreamberry. they're inside a grandiose bathroom, maybe? the edge of the tiles flicker in the candlelight.]
Isn't this nice?
[whoever's holding the dreamberry is in the tub, lounging back, knee coming up through the red-swirled water, making flower petals scatter, talking to someone -
yes: red. one might recognise the locks of blonde hair floating in the literal bloodbath, like some grisly version of a bouquet garni. the camera pans, and there are indiscernable figures moving in the shadows. the figure's other (very well-manicured) hand is perusing a rapidly-diminishing deck of tarot cards, and on the floor: the discarded ones, scattered and streaked with scarlet.]
Mmmm. I suppose this is better than bathing in merely a virgin's blood! So luxurious. She liked to divine futures, hmmmm?
[Another lazy giggle.]
Could she have forseen this?
[The feed clicks off.]
[ooc: Permission given to hijack. Merry is being dropped CANON UPDATED AAAAA from Somarium and she's going out with a bang c: Rosiel (he can canonly pass for a woman) has contracted his ~doctor~ i.e., Jizabel and his assistant, Cassian for BEAUTY TREATMENTS. Which, this time, involves kidnapping Merry during the blackout (since Cain had disappeared), killing her, and draining her dry of blood.
SO THIS IS ROSIEL BATHING IN VIRGIN BLOOD AND IT'S ROCIEL - and Numi - WHO'S RESPONDING TO EVERYONE JUST USING MERRY'S IDENTITY. But he's taking lengths not to be recognised. Hence the voice. Yep.]
