If anyone has been contacted by Poe Dameron about being turned into a bird...

He is fine. He is well. For the time being. [deleted]

I'm taking care of it...

And I truly do apologize for his...excitement, for lack of a better term.

If anyone is upset, just contact me directly.


Thank you.

{Vincent is generally kind (in his own way) and he might be well-meaning seventy-five percent of the time, but... He is not one that is easily categorized. He is certainly ambitious and he can be downright ruthless towards those that either stand against him or work for him. One of his servants commented that he would not even think to shed a tear if one of them died.}

Oh well? Is that all? I'd like to try it out for myself.

Audio

[talentedscavenger]

Possibly? I don't know how magic works, but it's something that is real. I can't control it, so I might as well just...learn to live with it.

Audio

[earlofphantoms]

If you don't know how it works, how can you know you can't control it?

Audio

[talentedscavenger]

Because magic doesn't exist in my world. I cannot control something that, inherently doesn't exist within me.

Audio

[earlofphantoms]

Maybe it doesn't work that way? Some think magic can be accessed through language. Latin, for example, is thought to be powerful.

Audio

[talentedscavenger]

Maybe, but I'm not interested to find out.

But you sound more interested in it than I am.

Audio

[earlofphantoms]

I have my reasons for learning of it at the very least. My world is far more interesting than I previously knew.

Audio

[talentedscavenger]

I hope you don't get hurt or injured for it. I'm not sure how powerful magic is, but if it can change someone into a creature, it must be very powerful.

Audio

[earlofphantoms]

I am already dead in my world. I do not see I have much to lose.

audio

[talentedscavenger]

[...well shit.]

I am sorry...I had no idea.

audio

[earlofphantoms]

It wasn't your doing, dear lady. I am happy to be here. I have my son and a friend to keep me company.

audio

[talentedscavenger]

[A lady? Her? She doesn't really think so, but she'll let it slide for now.]

At least you have him. At least he has family here, and if you two are happy here, then I hope you have a long stay.

audio

[earlofphantoms]

I am in complete agreement! If you should happen to meet him, his name is Ciel. {No, he isn't a proud father. And he is kind enough to use the name his child has chosen for the time being.}

audio

[talentedscavenger]

I don't know if I will, but I'll remember the name in case I do meet him.

audio

[earlofphantoms]

I can't ask for more. I suppose all fathers want their children to make friends.

audio

[talentedscavenger]

I would like to imagine that..and that mothers would love their children until the very end.

audio

[earlofphantoms]

That is unquestionable. Parents cannot help loving their children no matter their choices.

audio

[talentedscavenger]

[Rey pauses for a moment, thinking of her family...of her parents.]

That's comforting to know.

audio

[earlofphantoms]

Your parents are watching over you. Sometimes we don't get to spend as much time with our children as we'd like. {He senses she has suffered a loss too.}

audio

[talentedscavenger]

[She has...but it's part of life.]

It's something I like to imagine, especially when things are hard.

audio

[earlofphantoms]

{Poor Rey. They are from both ends of the spectrum.}

You are too kind for them not to be proud.

audio

[talentedscavenger]

There's no need to say such things, Vincent.


..I appreciate it though. Save those kind words for your son.

audio

[earlofphantoms]

I am not saying them solely for your benefit. I believe it. Parents want nothing more than their children's happiness.

Nothing should come before it.

audio

[talentedscavenger]

[Another moment of silence with Rey reflecting on his words.]

Thank you for telling me that. I didn't know that..I had hoped, but having confirmation of that means a lot.

audio

[earlofphantoms]

You didn't have nearly enough time with them. I am sorry for you and for them. {Ten years wasn't enough time with his boys.} I have twins and nothing prepared me for the day they were born.
