public video / semi-private action

[Despite that scary top icon, Uai is smiling for this public video segment. He's settled in his Fayren apartment with some empty notebooks, the plain white sheets being visible in the camera frame.]

Hello, everyone. I'm not interrupting your weekend, am I? My name is Uai. I'm used to traveling between worlds, but this is my first time being captured in one. I was hoping to hear more about the worlds all of you come from. I somehow doubt we're all even from the same multiverse, so it would be interesting to hear what is "normal" for you all. For myself, Attleton and Genessia are the closet I've come to 'home.' What about you?

[semi-private action / forests of Fayren]

(( OOC before I delve into this: This action prompt involves Uai being villainous. HOWEVER: Please do not treat this is a wide-area thing. If you want to get involved in attacking Uai's monsters, please PM me or hmu on plurk. I'm very friendly and open, but I don't want to be balancing 100 fight threads. Thanks so much~! ;v; ))

[Uai had scouted out the least populated area that he could. There's plenty of space between himself and the nearest town. While Uai can be shameless about his problematic magic, and is perfectly aware this will 99% fail, he doesn't want to be arrested or labeled a villain. Not when it isn't to his benefit. 

He's set up a rock barrier around himself before he even starts casting magic. His last attempt to escape Genessia got him hurt. This time, he's changed his spell outline. Uai knows he won't escape, but he won't be satisfied until he's tried his hardest. As he expected, the spell backfires and he suffers a recoil. Uai stumbles back with a gash in his stomach. The physical damage isn't the worst of it.]

... Hm~! That's frustrating..!

[The barrier he had put around himself shatters. His 'blood' from the wounds forms into four other 'Uais.' Unfortunately, they don't keep human form. Instead, they take the forms of skeleton dragons: Decaying, gross af, and covered in shadowy gunk. ]



[The four take off to wreck minor havoc in the forest, while the original Uai sinks to his knees. Despite his efforts, his feelings of concern and panic regarding the unleashing of Glitches are quickly consumed by his anger and hatred for Genessia. With his soul tattered and split, Uai can't control his Glitched personality either.

He exhales calmly and smirks, watching his four Glitches take off.]

It's fine. Playing nice is getting me no where anyway.

That's the 'real' me. What? Don't like it? I think dragons are cute.

[He's being a touch sarcastic. The only dragon he finds particularly 'cute' is Hana, and she's not a dead thing.]

Don't feel like answering, otherwise. I'm not a cooperative prisoner.

[youfool]

Aheh, you might've aspired to one such.

[Looks like an impasse. What did he know about Uai that might give a clue? Obsessed with Hana, but this one doesn't remember him. Really strange mother issues; perhaps she kept him in a place like this? He said his form was an illusion and that he really looked like something else. And when he overexerted himself he produced that ink-like substance that, come to think, was awfully similar to what he'd just now seen.]

Did you wear yourself out trying to get through the barrier? Again?

[ubiquitously]

So what if I did? I'm not going to find out what works until I eliminate the methods that don't work.

[His attempts to ruin the barrier aren't working. Not with the state he's in, anyway. Which leads to the Glitch beginning to yell again.]

Now let me out! Nothing is being solved! If you still believe in time, then stop wasting it!

[youfool]

Huh. What was different about this attempt, exactly?

Calm down; I'd offer you a light or tea or something if you wouldn't just repel it away. Can you offer any confidence that you won't get up to the usual? I'd rather not make a trip to law enforcement, if I can help it.

[He feels kinda stupid, but he really may have to just take his word. At least the first time.]

[ubiquitously]

I didn't care who got hurt this time.

[Yup. This can be safely said to be going just about no where. Ted has every reason to worry about releasing the Glitch: He would have no shame in going on a worse rampage than before. All of the facts back up the idea that Uai is off his rocker on a good day.

So Ted will be delighted when a second Uai shows up. One just isn't enough! This one is the real one, with real answers... and fake blood. That inky substance he worries about is leaking from a wound to his abdomen. He is also not interested in getting law enforcement involved, or losing more pieces of himself than necessary.

He also needs a moment to catch his breath after teleporting.]

H-Hey... Got a feeling this might be deja vu for you.

[youfool]

[How the--he'd like to get some kind of warding or security system set up, but it's tricky sealing off potentially infinite nothingness. Hard to see, for one. People just keep waltzing in here! Sorry Uai, organic stuff is harder to keep track of in here, so a bright and sturdy lamp will be whooshing nearby. Don't break it, please. He's not made of money.]

Eheh, no, two of you is a very novel experience. Hopefully shedding light here will prompt parity.
