genessia | 3rd kill | video/action;

[...well, this sure is a sight, isn't it? battler has no choice, he knew he would be going against his master's wishes by making this broadcast- but he was desperate. he had been searching for her for a while now, well over a day, and he couldn't find her at all. the storm had blown into genessia, it took over and the blizzard was everywhere. it was thick, harsh, and absolutely freezing. it hadn't bothered him, his strength and magic was enough for him to be fine, but the icy cold was harsh enough to bite at his skin.

was there magic involved with the blizzard...? there's no way something natural would ever affect him.

so, his master was missing. he needed to find her, she was his only purpose now, and without her he felt completely empty. he was always just meant to be a husk of a man, but without his master at his side he felt the need to just give up. he needed her.

the broadcast clicks on with battler's face, a genuine frown spread across his features, and he he seems to be covered in snow. the bits of white contrasted with the purple color of his suit, and even the tips of his hair appeared to be frozen.]

....I wouldn't be doing this if I didn't genuinely need.... assistance. [he knows what this means too, that people will attack him, that they won't hear him at all- but as long as his master will be safe he simply doesn't care.]

My master has gone missing and I cannot even sense her. Usually I would know where she is at all times, I would be able to teleport to her if she ever called on me... however she is... simply gone. She cannot be dead- I would know that for sure but... I know she is in danger as well.

You all have your grudges with me, I understand, however let it be known that I cannot harm you any more. My current master instructed me not to hurt or kill anyone anymore, I am simply... hers now, and hers alone.

Aahh get angry with me all you like, attack me if you like, you all love that... don't you? You humans... and your emotions....! It all still fascinates me so much, but now is not the time for me...! My master must be saved, and I need help finding her...! I'm sure.... I'm sure my magic could help her in this blizzard, it must!

My master's name? You all know her very well: Terra Branford. You all hate me... but will you not put aside your hatred in favor of Terra? She has done nothing to earn your hatred... And I will be walking the streets to search for her, seek me out if you must.

[he will be awaiting the intense backlash.]

action;

[as he said he battler would then be walking the streets of genessia in order to look for her. the blizzard was strong, much too intense, and he had to put up an arm in order to shield himself from the sheer force of the wind and ice. she grit his teeth as he walked, his anger for being unable to find her growing more and more intense.

battler would often duck out of the wind in order to hide in a shop, or even in an alleyway. feel free to accidentally run into him then as well.]

[and it was definitely a good thing he was in the dark.]

...She runs a flower shop, that is where she usually is.

O-Oh... I... I haven't been there in a l-long time.

[He really should have been. His boyfriend could use some more flowers.

Undoubtedly he had seen her, he just didn't really know her.]

S-Sorry.

[Not that it was really his fault that he didn't happen to be shopping for flowers or that she was lost, he just felt it necessary to say.]

A-Are... Are you okay? Y-You look really cold.

[battler blinked at the other boy on the network. was he serious...? didn't he know about him at all?]

I'm fine, this level of cold doesn't bother me. It... it feels magical though, almost. If my master weren't in danger then I would actually be intrigued by it.

...Do you truly not know who I am?

O-Okay... F-Fire magic would probably help, but... if y-you're sure.

[Happened to be his favorite element to play with, but if the other man didn't need it...

He stared for a moment to go through his memory, but eventually shook his head.]

N-No... Why? A-Are you famous?

You have fire magic? [that was definitely what he needed.

but seriously... this felt so weird, especially because everyone seemed to know him at this point.]

I am... I caused a massive stir here, a long time ago, and I have not been forgiven for it.

Oh... D-Did you say you were sorry?

[Always worked for him. But, you know. He was a cute, squishy mage and nice to people, not a murderer or anything. But surely this must be some misunderstanding!]

Y-Yeah, I like fire magic.

Of course not, I don't think what I did was wrong on my part at all. I was... created, after all, for a purpose. I am but a humble servant.

Perfect, you will do nicely. Now we just need to find Terra.

[Strange. If he didn't do anything wrong, why would people be mad?]

I... I don't think I get it.

B-But, you want me to help you?

That would be much appreciated.

[it was better that he didn't understand.] If you do not understand then keep it that way- having you in the dark would be best, especially for these circumstances.

[That was a very strange thing to say. He didn't usually find lack of knowledge to be a positive. He much preferred when he knew what was going on. Maybe he could ask Ted or someone later.]

O-Okay... I'll come soon.

[And he did make his way there, though Battler would have to wait for him to walk from the forest in Fayren.

He was about 5'11" and hefty, but in no way intimidating, having a very submissive demeanor. The other city was definitely colder, and he'd started up a flame long before he arrived, keeping the magical fire close to himself for warmth. Now he was even more thankful for where he lived. Though he didn't usually get cold fast, he had his limits and he didn't like being cold.

The spell itself took very little from him. Just a minute amount of concentration to determine where he wanted the fire to be.]

H-Hello?

[battler, too, was the exact same height as the lad. if he were the real battler then he might have congratulated the other boy for being tall just like him, but he certainly wasn't anything like the real battler.

battler was stationed in genessia, and he did wait for the one with fire magic to arrive. once he saw him the redhead just frowned, wanting nothing more than to hurry up and find his master.]

This is no time for formalities, we should be off to find my master. [he really doesn't have time for this.]

O-Oh. Umm...

[He basically froze in place. He had no idea where this master of his was, or where to go to look for her, and that uncertainty didn't give him any ideas where to start. Which direction to go. What building to look in. All he knew was how to keep a nice fire spell going to keep things warm. Being put on the spot just made him nervous.]

Wh-Where... Where should we look...?
