Deal 002 ❖ [Video]

[And onto the video screen comes a grinning face, looking just a bit excited. But then, he has something in his conniving little head. He can't quite seem to help it.

Or maybe he can. Half of his actions are a carefully kept facade. But either way, here's the grin and the video feed fidgets just a bit as he sets it down on a table.]

Good afternoon to everyone! I... am looking for something.

I think I'm getting the general lay of this place. Yesyes, it's starting to make sense. Fascinating as it is. Strange as it is. But I've yet to find a certain something I would rather like to acquire.

So tell my, dearies, can anyone tell me where I might find a spinning wheel?

Yes, deary. Before I became what I am now. [Another grin, flashing his teeth in amusement. ~~Unlike Lady Gaga, he was not born this way-hey.~~]

And what did it take to become what you are?

A curse. [It's the simple answer.]

And yet it benefited you?

Well, that's debatable. [A laugh. Short. Not quite as giddy as usual.] It's certainly given me power. Made me stronger than I was.

I still do not see how it is a curse, then.

It hasn't all been sunshine and daisies. [And of course, there's the chance he could be controlled were someone to discover the source of his power, but he's not announcing that.]

Deals for power never are all sunshine and daisies.

Certainly true. And the price for magic is often steeper than most.

Yes, but I have never found the price too steep. [Says the one who traded his soul for the power of darkness.]

I have. Once. [And only once. But it's that once he has since been trying to make up for, reclaim.]

Oh?

I've lost something. Something I fully intend to reclaim.

And that was?

Personal. [He answers with a toothy, manic grin.] Quite personal.

[He shrugs slightly. Whatever.]
