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.

[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.

[indecent_butterfly]

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

[valentineluke]

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

[worldofhisalone]

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

filtered

[sympathyforme]

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

[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.

[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.

[worldofhisalone]

[He looks a bit stricken.]

Is it that bad?

[worldofhisalone]

Different doesn't always denote an improvement.

filtered

[worldofhisalone]

It is a punishment then.

How am I to seduce anyone when I appear like this, my Lord? It's... deficient.

[filtered]

[indecent_butterfly]

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

[sympathyforme]

Use your charm, demon. Have you none of that?

[...he so wants to watch that train wreck.]

At least two before the day is past. Female or male.

[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?

[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.

[worldofhisalone]

I... of course, I still have that much at least.

[He gives a slight bow, eyes distracted for a moment by a fall of dark hair over his shoulder. When he stands, he sighs.]

I have some work to make myself presentable again. But I obey... two down the path of sin should not be impossible, even like this.

[worldofhisalone]

... is he behind this... this travesty?

[Not a friendly look.]

Where is he?

[beyourarmy]

[Worried frown. Oh, hell, no. Not taking it out on his...whatever Karl is.]

No, he's not. It's the City. And...I don't know where he is. I thought you were him.

filter;

[sympathyforme]

Please, work as much as you want. Perhaps some permanent change. I want to see the fruit of your labor.

[Ah, trolling Karl never gets old.]

filter;

[worldofhisalone]

'Permanent', my Prince? Of course, you may watch if you wish. I'll see to it.

[Kira shall have a front row seat for any such endeavors from this point on, ie: no filters to keep Kira from seeing all that he wants.]

filter;

[sympathyforme]

A hair-cut, some color, whatever you think it takes.

[He approves of that. Free porn and blackmail material.]
