136th Devotion: Walking a Mile in Someone Else's Shoes

[favoritetraitor]

[Accidental Video]
[From a nearby table, a lone figure passes by... his confident stride faltering for a moment, then coming to a complete dead halt. His hand reaches up to smooth back long glossy black hair and he seems visibly disturbed...

... but this is nothing new, seeing as how it's Karl on screen.

His brow furrows, mouth pressing into a tight line of displeasure and he quickly makes his way over to his network device.]

Who... is this a sort of punishment? .......... Can I ask what I did, or is this some sort of whim on your part? You know who I'm talking to, my Master... or is it you, My Prince, who's done this?



[ooc: Grab bag/'Body Swappers' curse between Solomon Goldsmith and his less pretty and very unstable brother, Karl Fei-Ong. As for Solomon's mind, he's still under a spell cast by Merlin which has caused amnesia and the misguided belief that he's one of Kira Lucifer's demons. Replies will be from worldofhisalone]

Hm.

Not my doing.

[worldofhisalone]

My beautiful body... please tell me that the face isn't as bad as I think it.

[sympathyforme]

It's his face. I don't think it'd be too bad if not for that.

[worldofhisalone]

[Have a small groan of dismay in reply.]

Please... change me back to my natural form. I'm trying but I can't seem to do it, myself.

[sympathyforme]

I told you I have no powers and if I had a small discomfort like this would hardly be worth the effort.

If you want advice, then try to let your true self be undetected and remember what you learn from this. One day you might appreciate it.

[He's probably not even paying attention to the post. He sees 'Karl' and goes in for the "attack"!]

Hey! What the Hell? Why didn't you ever message me? I've been waiting a few days already. I got a little worried.

[worldofhisalone]

Was I supposed to? [He turns from the screen, not really wanting anyone to see him like this.]

I'm afraid this isn't a very good time.

video; filter oh right use - WAIT A MINUTE

[beyourarmy]

Uh, yeah! It's kind of important.

.... You didn't filter this. Like you ALWAYS do.

video; filter oh right use - WAIT A MINUTE

[worldofhisalone]

How else will my Master... no, you're right. It was for his eyes only.

The shock... I wasn't thinking.

[beyourarmy]

Wha-?

You're not Karl, are you?

[indecent_butterfly]

No deed could be so terrible to incur such a punishment.

[filtered]

[worldofhisalone]

[He looks a bit stricken.]

Is it that bad?

[filtered]

[indecent_butterfly]

Not so much...he could be pretty to look at. If one had an eye to.

[filtered]

[worldofhisalone]

... it's not what you have, it's how you use it, hm?

[filtered]

[indecent_butterfly]

Exactly. Smart enough to figure that out, an improvement already.

[valentineluke]

You're not at all unattractive, Solomon. It's just a different appearance.

[worldofhisalone]

Different doesn't always denote an improvement.

[valentineluke]

There's nothing wrong with exotic good looks.

[worldofhisalone]

Exotic... do you really think so?

[valentineluke]

Yes, I do. Why can't you see it?

[destinedtobeunpopular]

[...oh god.

City, seriously, why do you do this to him?]

What? This wasn't me!

[Video]

[worldofhisalone]

No? Then perhaps this is another one of your... 'unintentional' spells, my defective Master.

[Video]

[destinedtobeunpopular]

No, I didn't do anything, honest! It's just... It's the City. It likes cursing people, if you remember?

[Seriously, you can't just go and blame someone else in this place.]

[Video]

[worldofhisalone]

... then I request that you use your magick to undo this.

[Video]

[destinedtobeunpopular]

I can't. My magic doesn't work on the City like that. I've tried.
