[looks it over carefully with a hum.]

Telling a lie seems easy enough... oh! Actually, if it's not too weird, can I touch your fangs instead? I'm kinda curious.

[forgottenmercy]

You, ah, may, yes. [and opens mouth to reveal his fangs.]

[rollwillpowercheck]

[gently pokes one, careful to not, you know, scratch himself or anything.]

That's really cool. I wonder if the idea is that you're supposed to eat fish, or... well.

[withdraws his finger.]

[forgottenmercy]

Fish, or, ah...other things, I imagine. [closes his mouth] ...apparently, ah, I bear a resemblance to a particular kind of creature where I come from.

[rollwillpowercheck]

Oh? I guess it's not surprising that your world would have some kind of... merperson.

[forgottenmercy]

The, ah, Raksha, or the Fair Folk. The ones that live in the Western court often...look like this.


...they, ah, eat souls.

[rollwillpowercheck]

[considers this for a moment.]

........ huh! That's-- maybe "cool" isn't the right word, but as a concept it's interesting?

[forgottenmercy]

They, ah, come from beyond the borders of the world, where it is pure chaos - they only take form, based on stories, when they come into Creation.

[rollwillpowercheck]

And that's the sort of form they take. Well, I can sort of see the appeal.

[forgottenmercy]

I, ah, fortunately never encountered one, though I have...encountered...someone who did deal with them.

[rollwillpowercheck]

Without getting their soul eaten, or...?

[forgottenmercy]

They were, ah, selling others to have their souls eaten.

[rollwillpowercheck]

... wow. I feel like I should have guessed, given... [you know, YOUR LIFE. UNLIFE.] ... everything, but that's still depressing.

[SIGHS.]

[forgottenmercy]

It is, ah, unfortunately...common. [reaches out to pat Anubis on the head, though.] My world is...not very kind.

[rollwillpowercheck]

And this place isn't, either. But... at least we can be kind to each other.

[forgottenmercy]

That is, ah, true. We, ah, can. [Persephone is trying to be, anyway.] ...speaking of, ah, kindness. What may I, ah, help you with?

[rollwillpowercheck]

Oh, right.

[considers his sheet...]

If it's not to much work, you could do my makeup? We've done that before.

[forgottenmercy]

That would, ah, be nice. Is there, ah, a particular look you would like, or...?

[rollwillpowercheck]

Anything that works with all this is fine.

[gestures to encompass his whole pastel goth vampire Look(TM).]

I'm not picky, and I trust you!

[forgottenmercy]

I will, ah, do the best I can. [it will be very beautiful. going to go find makeup in one of the many prop boxes and comes back.]
