(1) Video - Action for Forest, entering the village

[Tharja has seen many things in her strange lifetime, but this device is a new one. However, she instantly deems it useless, and so throws it on the ground - as a result, it turns on during her rant.]

- will pay, oh yes, they will pay... Damn them all...

[As a result of being on the ground, the angle you get of her is a little weird. But she's looking very exhausted and sickly... most likely a result of her ripping off some of those black feathers on her back. You can see them clutched in her hand. Someone should tell her that wasn't a good idea.]

Ugh... There's... there's no way they would have left me behind. Robin would never have let that happen. Walhart... he and his army, they must have...

[She has to lean on a tree now, clutching a book to her chest. She takes a few deep breaths, before pushing off the tree and trying to walk again.]

I'll destroy every single last soldier... I'll turn them into toads... no, I'll make them into rats, and feed them to the cats... I'll... I'll... I'm going to be sick...

[She squints a bit. How is she seeing and hearing you from this book? It's unlike any tome she's ever had.]

Who are you? What did you do to me? If you're from Walhart's army, don't think you can take advantage of me... I will not be tricked.

I didn't do anything, the Malanosso brought you here. And I... have no idea what you're talking about. You're not really in your home anymore, it's an entirely different world.

[She snorts.]

Why should I believe anything you say?

Why shouldn't you? We're all in the same boat here.

Or you could be tricking me, so you can capture and kill me.

[But... whew, she is really dizzy and exhausted.]

... Come get me. Give me a lock of your hair, and I'll listen to whatever you say.

Well I'd be a pretty terrible priest if I did that. I'm pretty sure they'd kick me out of the priesthood forever.

... Okay but a little piece, not a giant hunk of it. I like my hair!

[If he really is a priest, that would be a relief, need those healing powers. But.]

Your hair and your name. Just give me those. And don't keep me waiting.

((OOC: for the record, she can use a piece of hair+a person's name to make a curse so that if that person lies, they die! ... but of course we can say that won't work for several reasons, no worries))

Okay, I'll be there!

[ooc:This would be a very quick thread if Abel died every time he lied so lets go with it not working dskjfhds]

[So, she waits, but she doubts he'll show up. Why would someone just help another for no reason? Does he expect money from her? Or other... favors?

Well, she'll find out soon enough. A good curse will make him spill the truth. Though, she looks at her fingers... She has to wonder if it'd even work, given how sick she feels.]

Damn...

[He gets there eventually, that's a lot of walking! He's a tall, gangly thing with some fancy clothes and a pair of dorky glasses, not exactly the scariest figure in the world]

There you are! I was getting worried you started going off without me.

[Indeed, he hardly looks like a threat... but appearances can be deceiving. She immediately holds out her hand.]

Your hair and your name. Now.

[Well, good thing he brought scissors. He hunts around in his hair for a moment for a lock he won't miss, then snips it off and hands it over]

Father Abel Nightroad. Sorry I didn't get here sooner.

[She grabs the hair, clutching it tightly in her fingers. She then worms it around each finger, mumbling incantations, and then blowing on it.]

Very well... Abel Nightroad... If you value your life, you will tell the truth. The curse I placed on you ensures that if you lie to me, you will die!

[... And she can feel it didn't work, but maybe he'll be intimidated.]

Now who sent you!

[wut.

WUT.

He stares at her for a moment, blinking owlishly. He... didn't feel any different. Would he really die? ... Well, only one way to find out]

... Well, I was busy reading, and then all of a sudden My Lord Satan popped up out of the ground and told me an innocent beautiful young woman was pulling out her feathers and going to die, so he sent me out into the forest to eat her.

[... Dammit. She drops the hair unceremoniously.]

When I'm well again, you're getting a real curse. Be thankful you caught me in such a compromising position.

I was expecting that. For real, I saw you in your journal pulling out your feathers and I got worried, you can get really sick and die if you harm your wings.

Curse me all you want, I'm taking you back into the village and finding you an apartment.

Hmph... it must be some powerful magic to attach these things onto me. I thought I could hex them off, but instead...

... Gods, I must look pathetic.

I think it's more along the lines of science, but I wouldn't know. It looks painful to mess with them so I just kind of leave them alone. I don't take pain well!

Not really. Just new. Let the feathers grow back and you'll feel fine.

... Either way, it looks like I'm your prisoner now. Go. Do what you will with me.

... Okay.

....

Do you want to get something to eat? I'm starving.

...

...

...

[wait, really?]

I could eat.

[Yes. Really]

Great! There's this amazing restaurant in the village that I clean, and their food has to be the best I've had in a long time! I always feel a little guilty eating there alone though, it's nice to have some company.

... I don't have any money on me.

[This she mumbles, as if ashamed she has to depend on him.]

That's okay, it's free. Though if you really want to earn it, you could always get a job there as a server.

[To which she shudders.]

A dark mage, front line of two royal armies... reduced to a server. This is a nightmare.
