Old muse piped up; bit of a voice test

[unfairfolk]

Well, well, well, it seems to be that time again. What time, you ask? Why the time when one's so hopelessly sidetracked by yours truly when a certain someone should be focusing on what she deems "more important matters."

And don't bother going on about how this was relatively unexpected. Do you really think I would continue to stay quiet after what you've done? I believe you severely underestimate me, Mundane Dearest. And after all this time of us being together, I would think you knew me better.

Oh well~. I suppose there's no time like the present to catch up. So tell me, just what have I missed?

Perhaps it would have been better for you to stay quiet. Now you've gotten your mun's interest yet again. It only gets worse, as you probably already know.

[unfairfolk]

Oh, I know.

But unlike the common crowd, I'm usually the one making it "worse." It's quite fun if you ask me.

[kingofnightmares]

You're telling me you haven't had anything bad happen to you, in the past, under your mun's 'care'? Really?

I find that hard to believe.

[unfairfolk]

Briefly. However, I've long since convinced my mundane to refrain from such actions.

She knows better than to cross me.

[kingofnightmares]

[EYEROLL]

Your mun holds the strings here. Not you.

[unfairfolk]

You'd be surprised at how persuasive I can be.

...Granted, I'm inside her head and that means easy access to just about everything. [Puck gives a quick, thoughtless, casual shrug.]

[diamondsarentforever]

You....I sense great magic power within you. Greater than mine...

[kingofnightmares]

[That... was true.]

So what are you plans then? Making a home in this limbo?

[unfairfolk]

For now, perhaps. I'll mostly keep busy with seeing how things have changed since I lasted graced this wonderfully unruly place with my presence.

[unfairfolk]

Come now, don't sound so grim about that.

After all, I am a very old soul; I've had plenty of time to gather my magic. Though, the thought should cause excitement, not concern.

[Yanno, unless he takes a shining to someone; in which case, they best be prepared for spells and illusions of every shape and size.]

[diamondsarentforever]

[Noa gives him a formal bow, the type she learned from Japanese society.]

My apologies. I did not mean to come off as grim.

I am Noa, a sorceress. It's rare for me to come across someone else with magic, let alone the extent of magic you possess.

[kingofnightmares]

You speak so highly of yourself.

[unfairfolk]

Does that offend you?

My apologies~.

[He's not sorry at all.]

[kingofnightmares]

[A sassy one, aren't you?]

Not at all. Just be careful, someone may knock you off your high horse.

[unfairfolk]

[Well, at least she's not opting to stay a stick in the mud. That'll earn her some brownie points.]

You don't get out much, do you?

[unfairfolk]

I have nothing to worry about then. I don't own a horse.

You though? Hmm... I can't be so sure. Rumor has it you have more than enough horses to be "knocked off of."

[kingofnightmares]

[Eying you so hard, and crossing his arms.]

I'm never knocked off them.

[Well, lately he hasn't been.]

[unfairfolk]

That's not what I've heard.

Perhaps I've heard wrong, though. Then again, it's a terribly confusing statement, especially when five or more people claim it to be true.

...I wasn't joking when I said I was going to see what I've missed.

[kingofnightmares]

[His eyebrows perch high on his head, inclining his head forward.]

Oh? And what exactly have you heard about me?

[unfairfolk]

I've heard you have five very peculiar individual breathing down your neck no matter where you go... and everything that entails.

You poor, poor soul.

[He gives a shake of his head and a mocking tsk.]

[diamondsarentforever]

I haven't been out since the 1970s.

[unfairfolk]

That's quite a long time, given the typical mortal lifespan.

Care to tell Puck why you haven't?

[diamondsarentforever]

If by typical mortal you mean human, then I am not one of those.

Because I faded into obscurity after that period of time. My mundane seems to be one of the rare few who even knows I exist.

[unfairfolk]

Mortals take many forms. [He shrugs.]

Oh, I know how that goes. However, that doesn't necessarily make it a bad thing. Think about it; you've an ace up the sleeve if no one knows what you're capable of.

[Puck always enjoys pulling his own aces out; the every reaction proves to be priceless.]

[diamondsarentforever]

[Noa smiles and pulls the ace of diamonds out from her sleeve.]

Yes, I do believe you're right.
