Hey there, friends! I have a little poem I wrote for you. Yes, you.

[Well, he actually wrote it for Merlin, but who's nitpicking? He reaches for a piece of paper he composed his masterpiece on, clears his throat, and recites:]

My magic is green,
But also dark,
After hearing my terrible poetry
Are you feeling a little spark?


... No? [There's a lingering grin on his face, before he screws up the paper and tosses it over his shoulder.] Oh well! I'll think of something catchier next time.

Anyway, now that I've got your attention, I just wanted to let everyone know that earlier last month, me and a couple of pals did a little exploring in the desert on the north side of the island. It was a long journey, but eventually we found what I can only call a huge whirlpool of sand.

I would have loved to have gotten closer to see what was causing it, but the sandstorms around it were way too strong. My guess has to be some powerful being hiding inside it, or maybe some strong magics were cast on the area to keep out intruders. For now, it's a dead end.

It did get me wondering, though: has anyone done any exploring of their own around the island? What did you find?

You don't get stopped much by cognitive dissonance, do you?

Nevermind.

Look, just don't call me that. It's weird.

Just call me "Baiken". I feel like that's not asking a whole lot.

Alright, that's it, I'm kicking your ass.

Where the hell are you?
garyoutensei: (don't turn away)

[personal profile] garyoutensei 2021-08-01 07:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Give me 15 minutes.

If you run away, I'm just gonna kick your ass twice.

You should simply plan for that inevitability as he has decided instead of facing the consequences of his actions he would prefer to offer you my location as I am also....... quite displeased with him.

Alright, first? I'm coming to you.

Second, you're gonna tell me where he is.

Third, we're both gonna kick his ass.

While I don't particularly care for the vulgarities I admit I appreciate the simplicity of your plan.
garyoutensei: (touch me and I'll break your face)

[personal profile] garyoutensei 2021-08-01 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Unfortunately for you, I am very fucking vulgar, but right now, I suggest you appreciate what that vulgarity can do for the sake of shoving Claude's face in a gutter.

[The worst part about this is he would be very upset if Claude was actually harmed. He just wants to yell at him.

And she can absolutely hear the grimace in his voice. Oh Sweet Sothis she said the f word.]


Very well. I do know where his home is, he must return eventually.
garyoutensei: (the message has been sent)

Give me 15 minutes.

[ A moment later. ]

Make it half an hour.

I await your company with baited breath.

[He is so in over his head but... he gives her Claude's address regardless.]

It's something which arises when there's a gap between an individual's belief and their action.

If you like, I can recommend some books on the subject.
