02 Curses | Voice

[vulpinecurses]

Is everyone done playing with the tin robots yet? No? Yes? Well, I guess it doesn't really matter much either way.

[She would have helped if her Master had asked her to but he's not here, so she didn't even bother.]

No, what's important is that I'm hopelessly bored. Now, if I were one of the brawling types I'd use this space to ask for a sparring partner or a victim or something like that. I'm not--so don't get your hopes up. [Master doesn't like her fighting without a reason, anyway.] I did come up with something that might be a little bit interesting.

How about a little challenge, Genessia? That's right. I, the lovely vixen Caster-chan, am challenging you, the citizens of Genessia, to a game of wits! [Insert drum roll here.] Let's see how many of you can guess my riddles! No cheating, unless you want to feel my curses. The first riddle should be an easy one:

What has an eye but cannot see? What is stronger and faster then any man alive but doesn't have any limbs?

Is the answer... A Tornado?

[He did have to think about it for a moment to figure it out.]

[vulpinecurses]

That's right! A tornado.

[sizedoesntmatter]

[He sighed a little with relief at that. He wasn't sure if it was that or a hurricane, but he knew at least a tornado has an eye.... He hadn't been sure about the others really. The sigh soon turned into a smile however.]

I'm glad it was right. It was a very good riddle, I must say.

[She gives a nod, grinning.]

Ah, thank you! I'm glad I still got it. Want another one?

[sizedoesntmatter]

I would like another one, if you have one.

[It was a fun little game for him really.]

[ Video ]

[celestial_wizard]

Tin robots?

[ Lucy's new here, she doesn't know what that's all about. But the first riddle was pretty easy. HRMM, that could be a bunch of things. ] It could be some kind of force of nature, like an avalanche.

[ Though avalanches eventually stop. ]

[ Video ]

[vulpinecurses]

Something about the security robots in Nova City going crazy.

[Shrug. She didn't really care about such things but--] Nope, you got it wrong.

[thekingofheros]

Hmm....Caster huh? You're a lot different from the two Casters that I know of. Perhaps another grail war had started somewhere.

[He's apparently sitting in a booth at a small cafe somewhere, a cup of what seems to be coffee in his hand as he sips on it.]

Riddles you say? Hmph....I suppose that's one way to pass the time if you've nothing better to do. I suppose I, the great Gilgamesh, will indulge you for now.

An eye but cannot see, and faster and stronger than man but no limbs...Nature is one full of different marvels, so a tornado would be a sound guess. Though...even the gods can have shape and form over man, though I cannot say which god it may be. Still, under the pretext that not all gods are everywhere [Certainly not his, he got rid of them. Decisively.] I'll go with a tornado as my answer.

Video

[vulpinecurses]

There is. A rather large one--probably the largest grail war known. The Moon Cell probably bit off too much but I can't exactly complain.

[She likes this new Master of hers, after all. ...but, Gilgamesh?]

Gilgamesh, is it? That's quite a person you claim to be. [A god slayer. Her tail twitches at the thought. If she weren't under the constraints the Grail put on her she wouldn't be bothered by it but as it was... Probably not the best idea to aggravate him.] You're right but the boy above you got it first.

[Aggravate him too much, that is.]

Re: Video

[thekingofheros]

So you do know of me then. Good, then you know that I am who I claim to be.

[Indeed it's quite startling to the patrons of the cafe to have the blonde suddenly be wearing brightly gold armor and his hair to be spiked.]

So another had answered first? Hmm...well it is all about the timing so to the victor goes the honors.

Re: Video

[vulpinecurses]

Certainly you seem boastful enough to be that person.

[A small shrug.]

Perhaps another, then?

[tengugrandshogi]

Is that one riddle, or two?

video

[vulpinecurses]

It's a single one.

[tengugrandshogi]

There goes my ideas... I'm not very good at this kind of thing.

[vulpinecurses]

Well, that one was solved already. It was a tornado.

[Audio] Locked

[frostheartedrose]

[Yeah, sure, why not...]

Are you trying to bore the rest of the world? There are two answers to that if you consider 'man' limited to humans. For my species though, tornadoes are nothing. A hurricane, on the other hand... Those are fun to fly in.

[Audio] Locked

[vulpinecurses]

Perhaps I want to bring everyone to my level. Well, either way, you're right but it has already been answered. I'll be sure to stump you with the next one.

Curses?

[Video]

[vulpinecurses]

[With the video turned on, it's very obvious that she's not human. A long tail and fox-ears come into view. Definitely not human.]

That's right. I'm not a bragger but my curses definitely aren't something anyone would want inflicted on themselves!

[Video]

[switch_over]

[Eas doesn't seem too bothered by her appearance. Mainly because she looks a touch corrupted for a human.]

You have my interest. What sort of things can you do to a person?

[Video]

[vulpinecurses]

[She gives a shrug.]

Illness, burning or freezing sensation in the muscles, poison, bad luck... Death. Really, anything anyone can think of.

[goddessinthefog]

[Something about this woman catches Izanami's interest, but right now she can't pinpoint what.]

'Curses', hm? Sounds scary.

[Except Ms. 1000 Curses doesn't sound intimidated in the slightest. She's still pulling off her human guise for now - there's no reason not to.]

[Video]

[vulpinecurses]

[It's not about the amount of curses, it's about the quality! And you can't really get any more quality than the Killing Stone of Nasu.]

I do specialize in them.

[Well. It's not like Caster is hiding the fact that she's a fox so she switches to video as well. This woman does seem familiar. Why?] A vixen like myself would at least know that much.

[Video]

[goddessinthefog]

[Three words: Summons to Yomi.]

Oh really? Mind if I ask what sort?

[Yeah...there was definitely something strangely familiar about her once she saw her face. Right now, she couldn't entirely pinpoint what it was, but it was disconcerting.]

[Video]

[vulpinecurses]

[Shh. Caster doesn't need to know.]

Well... mostly those dealing killing. I know a few things about poison, too.
