☆ video.

[The video opens with a view of a seemingly infinite hallway, illuminated by various sconces scattered about the walls. Zatanna is visible in the shot for the first time since she has arrived, her costume clean and pressed. The tailcoat floats along with each echoing step.]

About time something of mine showed up here. I guess I was just looking in the wrong places. It's always alternate dimensions, you know. [She stops at a double-door, hesitating before entering. She gives you a quick peek of her room; it's large and clean and decorated tastefully. If you squint you might have caught a few large prints featuring the likes of Thurston and Kellar (and, if you're very observant you might catch posters for Duck Soup, The Last Man on Earth, and a headshot of some handsome guy...) on the walls behind her before the screen zooms in so you can't be nosy.]

It's a little quieter than it should be, but I'm not going to complain. [Movement, as she sits on her bed and bounces a few times.] I'm now officially in a good mood, so let's jam. What's shaking, City? Tell me something about yourself. Let's be friends. [Why does that sound like a threat...]

[valentineluke]

Vincent Price fan?

[hexappeal]

No. I'm just a fan of great mustaches.

[fe_male]

[ did you say threat

those are basically like jello to him ]

What was it?

[hexappeal]

[Irresistible. :(]

What do you mean by that?

[fe_male]

That showed up.

[hexappeal]

My estate, Shadowcrest.

[fe_male]

You got your entire estate to show up? How the hell'd you swing that?

[hexappeal]

Magic. [Jazz hands. Is she kidding? :|a]

Or maybe the City just finds me to be charming, delightful, and worthy of my ancestral home.

[pinkeffinprofessional]

....is that a costume.

[hexappeal]

You gotta problem with that?

[pinkeffinprofessional]

......

[Wait, wait.]

I just want things to be clear.

[hexappeal]

That's the complete opposite of helpful and explanatory.

[pinkeffinprofessional]

I don't think at any point I claimed to be either of those things.

[hexappeal]

I don't think you'd need to claim to be the opposite of them for me to realize it, either.

[infernoandhearth]

I like your hat. What sorts of things are you looking to know? I can think of all sorts of things. It's terribly difficult to choose.

[hexappeal]

I like my hat, too.

Let's say you could only tell a potential friend a few things about yourself. What do you feel that person would have to know? Otherwise, top five favorite albums?

[infernoandhearth]

Knowing my name is Luke would help, but other than that, I'd hope interaction would speak for the rest of it. I've a thing for fire: that's important. And I've only been out of prison for two years, so I'm afraid my album knowledge is rather limited. I quite liked Heroes.

[hexappeal]

Should I ask if the fire and prison thing are related?

If it's Bowie you mean, we'll get along just fine.

[infernoandhearth]

You can, and they aren't, not directly, anyway.

If there's another album called Heroes, I've not heard of it.

[hexappeal]

Well, I won't pry any further. If you want to tell me, you can. Otherwise, save it. I don't judge. [Well, depending.]

Yeah, just fine. Bowie's my kinda guy, musically and otherwise. Not a terrible actor, either. [What she is saying is that she would hit it.]

[sickbeat]

i have a bulbous and veiny and kind of twitchy growth on my back and its name is margaret
but otherwise i think im a pretty swell guy
holding down a 9 to 5
come home to the wife and kids and the family dog and settle down with a fatherly newspaper

permavideo;

[hexappeal]

That's very courageous of you, particularly if said growth talks.

[sickbeat]

it practically composes sonnets at the top of the hour every hour 24/7
so if you know a place that needs an mc or an opening act for jazz night
margarets your gal

[hexappeal]

No, not at the moment. I'm a little new here, myself. However, I might be able to suggest a place or two eventually.

[sickbeat]

cool
did you get cursed yet?
