Congratulations, I am now sealed within a miracle.
Of course, my congratulations go to the ones capable of such a thing.
Witches should be able to summon and control gods, not the other way around.
So bravo. My heartfelt feelings of applause go out to you, divine captors.
I’ve been truly shamed.

With that out of the way, may I pose a riddle to the rest of your captured?

I am a baldfaced liar, tinged with reddened shame.
You’ll never know me for who I am, for that is just my name.
Astutely bold, encased in gold, I am the one to blame.

I hail the northeast seas as home, but I have not forgotten,
The Swiss mountains I was born, from a time long dead and rotten.
If you’re lost, I’m sitting on the tip of your tongue, it’s…
Who am I?

For who solves it… I will return something that I have taken in this City that everyone needs.
Good luck.

[ ooc; Though I’d love for you to OOCly give it a try, if your character is smart enough to figure it out, PM me ahead of time and I’ll give the answer. I have no intention of giving a riddle too hard to solve when characters ICly can! ]

That's a little too far into my backstory. For now you get this: I'm a bunch of layers of dead children given form and cosmic power.

I was nagging you with your joke, by the way, but feel free to refrain from them in the future based on appearance. I understand it's... strange.

[There's always a kind of novelty in running into shit that's weirder than his own life.]

Dope.

[Layers of dead children are not in fact dope but like, what's he gonna do about it? It's already happened.]

If you're so powerful can't you just change how you look?

[He's wearing a glamour right now, it's all the rage.]

[mirakills]

[ For a brief moment, she looks older-- same outfit, but in her twenties-- a bit like this, before shrinking down to her original size. ]

I prefer this form more. It's cozy.

[ And unassuming. The cats behind her are using tape measurers to make sure they've built correctly-- one hangs a cheesy little neon light on the window. It blinks 'TEA & TAROT' as the shop name. Of course. She's a witch, after all. ]

[spellslots]

Hmm, kinda fucking creepy but it's your body I guess.

[After being trapped for a century unable to age, he likes that he's getting a little older, as slow as that process is for elves.]

[mirakills]

When you've inhabited the same form for thousands of years, you get used to it. Kind of like changing the tone your phone makes, it feels unnatural to change.

But to each their own.

[ She'd say getting into venues at half price is nice, but who are we kidding, she would sneak in were it not for the phenomenal cosmic power. ]

[spellslots]

I'd have to ask my boyfriend about that shit, I'm disappointingly mortal.

[Taako... doesn't actually know how long Kravitz has been Kravitz, but he knows it's a long ass time.]

[mirakills]

[ kravitz sounds cool. and if bernkastel inhabited the same canon as kravitz, she would be a fucking headache with her 12,000 deaths. ]

Oh? What kind of being is he?

[spellslots]

He's a reaper for the Raven Queen, goddess of life and death and shit back in Fearun.

[This isn't a secret, so he's not worried about sharing it.]

[mirakills]

A reaper, gods of life and death...

He sounds like a lot of fun. Is he here?

[ The cats are now sweeping up the remnants of construction for a now fully completed building with itty bitty brooms and dust pans. How cute. ]

[spellslots]

Well you've just made it kinda weird so now I dunno if I wanna tell you.

[Fun is an odd choice of word, if it'd been interesting or cool he might not have cared but - fun doesn't inspire confidence.]

[mirakills]

I mean fun in a sardonic sense. Fun combined with a reaper, so on and so forth. I'm interested in meeting people from magic planes I didn't occupy.

I get that my joking tone doesn't come across very well.

[ she says with the deadest of pans. ]

[spellslots]

I've met robots that aren't as dry as you so like, it could use a little work, for sure.

[It doesn't count if they're ghost robots, Taako.]
