i would like to meet the first first i think? but the second has an interesting name?? that sounds like a hard rock kind of vibe, is that the personality?
^ That's the one! She seemed interested when I said I know someone who can compose. You can also message her directly. Or try calling her, so she can hear your voice! 🎵🎶
And yep, that's some name, alright! He seemed a bit self-conscious about it, though. Apparently he's the type who wants to take his spouse's name when he gets married.
As for other theories, I'm not too sure! But when we broke into the storage room together, he had his own method of distracting the guards. I'm not sure what he did to them, but whatever it was left them looking dazed afterwards. So, these are my theories!
1. He's a succubus with a killer seduction technique! 2. He's a hypnotist! 3. He makes perfumes that can drug people, since he's also a perfumist!
He gave me a sweet-smelling perfume for Christmas. That one didn't have any side effects, but that doesn't mean he can't make one that does. Which I know sound somewhat shady, but it's just a hunch! And anyway, he seems nice!
Yep, the way to your heart is simple! And thank goodness for that 💕
It'd be Reign Spouse! Once you get rid of the fear part, his name doesn't sound too bad.
Actually, I did notice they smelled sort of different. Basically, they smelled like he did. Which could mean he sprayed something on them, or it could simply mean he got close enough that they took on the scent he was wearing.
I don't think he's untrustworthy even if he did drug the guards, though. I entrusted him with something important, after all.
hm? oh sorry did i give off the impression i was worried? hiyo is a good judge of character even when you don't know everything about a person, so if you think someone is trustworthy of course i trust you with that! if anything, i'm way more likely to meet someone actually shady?
but it's interesting to think about what kinda powers he might have, this guy you met~! if you smelled something odd, maybe he can direct the effects or you need to actually get hit with it for it to work? or yeah if you didn't see it, it could be lots of things!
like maybe where he's from magic has a scent! i wanna meet someone from a place where magic has a sound!
[The "good judge of character" thing triggers a pang of guilt inside his chest. His stomach twists, too. Topaz recently helped him figure out that Esikko was most likely behind a couple of the murders he knows about, and if that's true, then it means he put Leo in danger. When he thinks he about what could've happened...
Well, what's done is done. And Leo hasn't been hurt, has he? There's no sense in worrying him just yet, so he'll push that thought away.]
Nope. I know you're not the type to worry about such things. [Translation: please get some self-preservation instinct!!] I just wanted to be absolutely clear, that's all!
But the sound of magic, huh? I guess that makes me think of a "blast off" sound. Or a "pew pew pew" sound! I'm sure there must be some world out there with magical songs, though. I'd like to hear a song that can change people's hearts and cast a spell on them! 🪄🎶
Anyway, if you want to ask him about his magic, his perfume business, or whatever else, his username is @ perfume! Easy to remember, no?
[ Hiyori IS his preservation instinct. Congrats. It's usually a job shared between Knights, Anzu, and Madara but... ]
i definitely wanna hear music that's magic beyond being music! i bet someone here has to have it, but i haven't found them yet if so.
that's a really easy name so i'll send him a message! does he give off an undead vibe or something else??? if he's rock that's what I always think of first yknow??
i wish we could learn cool magic. illusions would be fantastic for shows!
On who can do what magic, that is. I got a lot of answers about that when I hosted the Magic Showcase, but that was a while ago and they keep kidnapping people, so there's bound to be a new crop of mages by now.
I'm not sure how well he'd fit there. But you might be on the right track? In order to test it out, perhaps you'll need to dress him in black!
[He and Rei could be vampires together.]
I learned one thing from Weiss-chan. It's called Aura!
It'd be nice to learn more, though. Something whimsical and fun, such as illusions! Or something strong and powerful.
[Something that can protect him and others against all the killers and trigger-happy people running around this place... not to mention all the annoyances like crawlers and cherubs.]
a poll could be cool! maybe especially if we ask about things that people could teach somehow. maybe we could learn tricks!!! i'm not sure what exactly but we could figure it out~~~
aura~? what's that, i wanna see it!
anyway are you worried about something? with strong and powerful being a thing you list i mean
Now that's an even better idea. Not just a magic poll, but a poll about teachable magic! 😊 I like it!
The way she explained it, Aura is basically your soul's power. She said anyone can use it once it's active, and that it's not really magic, but it sure sounds like magic to me. What happens is that you glow for a second, and then you start to feel warm! Then you can share that warmth with others. You can use it to heal small cuts and things, too, apparently.
Auras also come in different colors, sort of like an image color. Her was light blue, and mine is a bright sparkly color! ✨✨✨ Yours would either be orange or royal blue, I assume.
[Sometimes he forgets Leo is perceptive. This is one of those moments where he remembers!]
Nothing in particular. But this place *is* dangerous, like I've said before. I've been attacked by monsters and people, so it's safest if you know how to defend yourself. That's why I've stocked up on self-defense weapons. Grenades, pepper spray, exploding vials, all kinds of stuff!
[... ah, but guess who the exploding vials came from. It starts with an "E" and ends with "ikko." Getting replacements for those would mean facing him again.]
so if i get papercuts i should come and find hiyo instead of bandaids! got it, got it~! anyway, my unit image color is orange, so it'd probably be that, right?
you mentioned some of that before~ i guess it'd be useful if i could find some kinda archery equipment. or like a sword. i can use those things!
Perhaps! Mine wasn't green like my image color, though. Weiss-chan said it was the brightest Aura she'd ever seen!
Right, right, you *do* know some weapons!
I know at least one person who can use a sword, but I'm not too sure I know any archers. There's got to be one somewhere, though. Another thing to poll people about! Then maybe they can help us find our own bows. Or they can teach us tricks!
well, that makes sense! it's always sunshine weather when it's you, isn't it?
if we do get either swords or bows, i can teach you fine! i mean keito would probably be a better archery teacher, but i can outshoot him so it's fiiiiiiiine~
Well, I'm sure you'll become friends, though! Hiyo's a great person, and real social. Just keep talking to him when you see him and you'll soon be besties~?
[ Leo's just going to adjust into the seat here...he's making himself at home. ]
That's exactly right! If there's no sunlight, then I'll just be the sun! 😊☀️
You as my teacher, hmm? That beats finding a new instructor, so I'll take it! We can have our first lesson just as soon as I find some bows and swords that aren't just prop weapons!
I do still want to learn magic, though. It seems easiest to fight fire with fire, so to speak. Plus it means you don't have to carry anything too bulky. Those archery bows are somewhat heavy, no?
indeed! :3 I will warn you I'm on hiatus during, so liable to be slow ♥
[ Kaveh smiles at that, and offers the other a small chuckle. ]
I'll keep that in mind. He seemed nice enough, especially given the circumstances. The House posted something on my behalf and made me look kinda... unhinged, to put it nicely. But when we talked, he saw past it anyway. That's when he said that you and I should meet.
[ Too many people lost, for both of them. Kaveh hates that the place makes it necessary, but he doesn't begrudge getting to know more people, at least. ]
hiatus sure is a thing... feel free to drop if it's been too long!
