Seeking

[hallowedhorcrux]

How often must we converse? (With a lazy flick of his wand, he sends a mound of earth in his Mun's direction, letting it fall messily, scattering soil to the wind. The dust left in its wake curls into hissing serpents, fangs bared for a brief moment.) Seek the faithful and I will choose our new battleground.

(He stabs his wand in the air, the tip flaring an angry red.)

Do not dampen Magic or we shall find ourselves at further odds.

A very nice trick.

[hallowedhorcrux]

Trick? (How demeaning, Loki.)

[tricksandmischief]

The snakes.

[hallowedhorcrux]

That was a spell. There are no simple tricks in Magic.

[tricksandmischief]

Sorcery, yes... I can do that, although I do not need the stick.

[hallowedhorcrux]

Neither do I.

[tricksandmischief]

Then why use it?

[hallowedhorcrux]

Think of it as a tool. Powerful tools can be useful allies when one seeks more power.

[tricksandmischief]

It seems to be a very snappable tool.

[hallowedhorcrux]

A Wizard who allowed his wand to become so broken does not deserve it in the first place. (And he would kill the one who caused it without a doubt. Wandless Magic is just so useful.)

You seem convinced that your mundane will obey your commands. Let me know how that works out. Who knows - if you make some headway I might just adopt your methods.

[hallowedhorcrux]

I have been in their company for many years. There are times they allow me my freedom. Leashes do not suit me and I am well-versed in holding my silence when they displease me.

[ridesheadless]

Ahh...see I'm not the silent type when I'm displeased. There's usually fire and brimstone and usually a decapitation or three.

[hallowedhorcrux]

You can't reach them. Your fire, brimstone and decapitations are mere visions to them.

[ridesheadless]

True enough. But there is some satisfaction in imagining. The more vivid the vision, all the more amusing and satisfying.

[hallowedhorcrux]

Only if you pursue giving them a headache. (He is equal parts charm and vengeance. Imprisonment doesn't suit him, yet there are opportunities and he seeks them with the single-mindedness of a man who wants to rule it all.) Fill their minds instead with the world you wish to see.

[ridesheadless]

That's another part of it - mine is often reluctant to pursue the endeavors I enjoy. But if I make the thought linger long enough, they eventually succumb to the temptation. Then I still win.

[hallowedhorcrux]

I would count that as your only victory. (A thin, cold smile.) Torture should not be a part of one's plan unless it leads somewhere useful.

(Though he lets his Death Eaters play to their heart's content sometimes. Mainly because he doesn't care about the well-being of anyone who opposes him.)

[ridesheadless]

You mortals and your restrictions. Why limit yourself so? If it pleases you to torment someone for the sake of entertainment and you possess the power to do so, why not do it until it fails to hold your interest?

There's no point in having strength if you don't use it.

[hallowedhorcrux]

I have a greater vision than my amusement. My strength shall be used to unite two worlds and put Wizards and Witches in their proper place.

[ridesheadless]

But when it comes right down to it, do we not do everything in life for the purposes of our own amusement and desires? What's the point of living otherwise?

[wewillbeadored]

I think I like this one...

[hallowedhorcrux]

Am I an object?

[wewillbeadored]

It's always nice to meet someone else who also understands a little about subtlety.

[hallowedhorcrux]

Striking without proper knowledge is foolish. (He has done that before; he has learned. Or so he thinks.)

[wewillbeadored]

Thank you!

[dreamshades]

[Well, if it isn't the charmer from last time.

Peter just smirks at the display of magic, honestly, it's like watching a child throw a tantrum. A show of force to get the right people motivated. But, it's not enough to intimidate him. Force never really impresses him. Cleverness above all else.]

Oh, i'm sure there are great many places for you to find. Places where death doesn't exist and immortality is not of fanciful dreams.

[hallowedhorcrux]

(Ah the obnoxious child. His gaze passes over him, cold and unfeeling as a serpent.)

Immortality is not a goal of mine. (Not anymore. He has done what no one else has done. The pieces of his soul are well-hidden.)

I seek a world where Magic is paramount to all else.

[dreamshades]

[Pan just returns the gaze with a just a boyish grin, though something more sinister is hinted behind those eyes of his.]

I suppose not. [As if Pan knows this fact? It's good to assume he does. He knows a lot of things.]

Oh there are plenty of realms for that. Even if it they aren't filled with magic you could say those who wield it tend to have the upper hand.

...So, what happened? Smash your face into a wall?
