[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]

I change to suit the preferences of my patrons. How else to be the perfect lover?

It's an unfortunate handicap that I'm unable to shift into different bodies to suit their tastes... but it can't be helped. I'll settle for small changes until the spell can be broken.

That is not always appreciated by all. Many do get upset that the one they want isn't actually the one they get.

[Says the one who can.]

[worldofhisalone]

I'm afraid you're mistaken. What mortal could possibly hope to match my abilities in lovemaking?

[He does look so amused at this...]

No. One night with me and their eyes turn only to me. Love... even what some might call 'true love' begins to grow stale to the excitement and rapture that I can give. If this was not so, then my kind would not exist. The Lords of Hell do not suffer ineffective servants.

Some do have to rely on other charms and less on abilities. But if you had both...what of those poor souls once you're done with them?

[Asks someone who frequently grows bored with lovers once they fall in love with nem and sends them to their death.]

No. We do not.

[worldofhisalone]

The souls are consigned to their rightful owner, our Lord Lucifer... sped along by my ardent touch, of course~.

[indecent_butterfly]

Are you then looking for an easier time doing your job lamenting the abilities not granted you?

Prove yourself capable with the talents you already have, no matter what form you take.

[Because someone has a wager on the outcome.]

[worldofhisalone]

My nature hasn't changed~, nor my capabilities. You'll have to excuse my momentary lapse of reason. What being would be pleased to be given a dagger when they'd wielded a sword?

[filtered]

[indecent_butterfly]

It's easier to get in close with a dagger. To reach the heart with a small push. A warrior will use any weapon they are handed without complaint.

[worldofhisalone]

Are you saying size doesn't matter~? That's very... PC of you.

But even so, you're right. It's far more how one uses it... but one never complains about being 'gifted' do they?

[indecent_butterfly]

[Sigh...]

Not unless you intend to offend he who gave you the gifts.

[filtered]

[worldofhisalone]

There's no gift here when I never agreed to this.

[filtered]

[indecent_butterfly]

Gift? No, but maybe a challenge to prove your worth.

[So says the one named worthless.]

[filtered]

[worldofhisalone]

A challenge?

There's only One... no, make that two who matter currently. They're the only ones whose measure of me counts.

[filtered]

[indecent_butterfly]

You don't get to choose your challenges, you just have to prove you can surpass them.
