[ The screen shows a refined, elegant young lady having tea. She takes one sip before smiling pleasantly. ]

Greetings, one and all. For those who I've yet to meet, my name is Maribelle. A pleasure, I'm sure. I promise not to take up too much of your time today - rather, I have a small, fun little "quest" of my own to offer everyone.

[ Her manner and voice sound as calm as a gentle breeze... but the look in her eyes is bone-chillingly cold. The snow outside has nothing on them. ]

There is a man here called Toshirou Hijikata. If you don't know the name, he's a human with short black hair and typically wears a commander's uniform. What I would like is a photo of him... wearing a humiliating outfit. I want his soul being destroyed in the expression. I want every single last trace of dignity he has left utterly vanquished. And I'm willing to pay extra for every additional photo taken. I'll start with one hundred G, but I'm also open to negotiation.

[ She then moves the phone, to show various magical items on the table - Magic Mask, Enchanted Pink Calcite, and Mirror Mirror. ]

If a monetary factor isn't in your interest, I'd be willing to be part with any of these.

[ Another silent sip of tea. Her smile never vanishes. ]

Now, before I send you on your merry way, no doubt someone is going to ask me why I'm requesting this, so I may as well get it over with. Last month, some of us wound up unwillingly switching bodies. Hijikata and I were such victims. While I was in his body, I remained inside and inconspicuous, so as to not damage his reputation or allow any misunderstandings to follow him once we retuned to normal.

As for him?

He decided to parade my body in a revealing outfit in a shady nightclub while plunging items into my bosom.

[ SSSSSIIIIIIIIIIP. ]

Happy hunting.

[ Oh this is funny! Horus's message starts with a laugh. ]

What an inelegant face for such an elegant woman! [ He sounds delighted. What can he say, he likes scary people. ] What do you deem an embarrassing outfit, Miss?

[troubadamsel]

Oh, I wouldn't dare try to limit anyone's imagination. I encourage creativity! After all, we're all from different realms, so one's definition of humiliation may vary. Why not explore all angles?

[hor]

My culture is ancient and seems different from a good many's cultures here. We wear cloths about the privates and that's it, when it's hot but we also aren't so complicated with the eccentricities of modernity.

[ He hums. ]

Still, one hundred G isn't very much, is it? How many takers have you had?

[troubadamsel]

[ Just going to... completely ignore that first part... ]

I've had a few here and there. But I'm willing to negotiate price! After all, the true worth is my happiness.

[hor]

If I'm going to humiliate a man it should be worth more than one of those bags of terrible chips they sell. I'll do it for 10000G, perhaps.

[ That's still pretty cheap depending on what he does, but he knows Hijikata well enough to have fun teasing him. Which isn't super well at all, but enough for it to be fun. ]

[troubadamsel]

A price I'll happily pay. You'll find no hesitation from me.

[ Hell, she'd almost sell her soul to get her revenge. Hell hath no fury etc etc etc. ]

[hor]

[ Oh good! That's much better, and now he sees her as someone frugal enough to low-ball people but willing to go the length. Perhaps he'll bother Hijikata later to compose a plan. ]

Women are frightening when they're angry. [ He sounds like he finds it fun, though. ] I didn't take him as so bold though, he seemed much more work-focused in the times I've spoken with him. I assumed he wasn't interested in laying with women.

[troubadamsel]

Indeed, he had me fooled as well. I suppose this is now a lesson for all of us.

[ She keeps up the wayyy too cheery attitude to cover her RAGE. ]

[hor]

Perhaps he couldn't control himself around such beauty. It was Maribelle, you said? I am Horus.

[ He wishes it wasn't over the devices, they're not his favorite. Much more used to being in person, even if it's convenient.. ]

[troubadamsel]

A pity we couldn't meet under more pleasant circumstances, but I thank you none the less.
