(CW/TW: mentions of undead, impalement, and a brief mention of self-harm practices... and also mild, yet colourful cursing)


[On the anonymously posted video is someone who is now perhaps a slightly recognizable figure; an adolescent youth of extraordinarily pale features and dark, ink-black hair.]

To anyone looking to venture into the Land of Rot to assist with the preparations for the equinox, I’ll be volunteering as an escort. Fighting the undead is my speciality.

[Walter looks about ready to leave it off there, before a strangled whimper sounds in the background, leading him to look over his shoulder behind him. For a moment, he contemplates. Then, facing the camera once more, he adds:]

…Oh, and if there are any healers who feel like tending to a bloke wanting to hack off unicorn horns, I’ll be handing this wanker over to the knights.

[He pivots to capture on his video feed one Poacher in Distress, who at this moment happens to be impaled to a tree trunk via unicorn horn.]

Personally, I think he deserves to suffer through it the old-fashioned way. But I figure some of you might like the free practice.

[It’s better than them harming themselves to get said practice, he reasons.]

Let me know if you want to give either a try. I’ll be checking back regularly.

I have to agree with you on that sentiment. Those wretched men deserve to be cursed.

[Hm. Perhaps this person might be able to help with her ritual plans.]

...I take it you were involved in that quest as well.

[angel_of_death]

I was. Though I didn't have curses at my disposal.

[But he made that 'man' suffer, and he doesn't regret a thing he did.]

[colchismagecraft]

There are advantages to dark magic. I wonder, what would you do if you did have that power at your disposal?

[Well, time to push this boy a little.]

[angel_of_death]

I don't need any sort of magic to make a bastard like that suffer.

[He's almost offended at the thought that someone might even think he wasn't capable of making someone like that pay for their transgressions.]

Are you asking for a particular reason? Did some other wanker dare force a selkie to become his wife?

[colchismagecraft]

I haven't seen any further notifications of such men, but... a friend of mine and I are working on a ritual to curse anyone who tries to steal a Selkie's pelt going forward en masse.

...A ritual like that is often more potent, with greater numbers.

[angel_of_death]

...Wouldn't a ritual like that require all of its participants to have dark magic?

[Because it sounds rather like she's inviting him to join in.]

[colchismagecraft]

Not necessarily, depending on how we weave our ritual- but tell me, what magic types do you have?

[She was- not directly, but she was certainly trying to gauge his interest.]

[angel_of_death]

I don't suppose my having death magic is any secret by now.

[Considering Celliwig's little... ceremony of appreciation towards him and a few others.]
