Quest 283

[Accidental Video Post]

[The video opens to a jostling and bouncing view of the Square, as viewed from roughly thigh-high; evidently, the device has been stuck into someone's pocket for the transit, and got switched on by motion or by mistake. Supporting this conclusion is the fact that one small corner of the view seems to be covered by a bit of red fabric, obscuring the view that minor bit.

However, that small obstruction doesn't matter much in the next few seconds, as someone in black jumps in front of the camera and fairly bellows: ]


Halt, fair maid!

[A brief pause, and then, a familiar voice: ]

I beg your pardon?

Halt, I say! You shall not pass this way until you have delivered me my due!

[Another pause.]

Oh, all right, I suppose I can manage that. What is it you'd like?

[And proudly, the bellowing voice announces: ]

I demand of thee an eye, an ear, and a full set of teeth! Surrender them to me, or step no further!

[There is another short pause, followed by a soft sigh, and then the camera begins to jostle again, accompanied now by the rustle of fabric as the speaker begins to pull things from her pockets without hesitation.]

Yes, of course. There's a needle for your eye, a bit of corn for your ear, and the blade from a saw for your teeth. And I'll just be on my way now, thank you.

...Hey, w-wait, that isn't what I--

[But the camera is already bouncing again as she smoothly walks around him, and after another few steps, the video switches off.]


[OOC: Oh, was this curse made for Rosella or what. Feel free to action her up and demand things of her in exchange; it's a perfect excuse to use all the ridiculous things she carries in her pockets! Otherwise, Network is just fine. :D]

Of course it is. 'Oh, a piece of corn, I'll just carry it about.'

And a good thing I did, too, since I ended up needing it just a minute ago.
wandbreaker: (Edmund - explanations)

[personal profile] wandbreaker 2011-08-12 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
I never said it wasn't useful. Just ridiculous.

Some might argue that if it's useful, it's not ridiculous, no matter how ridiculous it is.
wandbreaker: (Edmund - unimpressed)

They're not mutually exclusive.

[identity profile] primrosella.livejournal.com 2011-08-12 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
Even so, I'd rather you called it the one than the other.
wandbreaker: (Edmund - joker)

[personal profile] wandbreaker 2011-08-12 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
I quite like calling them both.

[identity profile] primrosella.livejournal.com 2011-08-12 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
Well, then, at least admit it's not utterly ridiculous. Just a bit of ridiculous.
wandbreaker: (Edmund - competition is my life)

[personal profile] wandbreaker 2011-08-12 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
Mostly ridiculous.
wandbreaker: (Edmund - family smiles)

[personal profile] wandbreaker 2011-08-12 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
Rather ridiculous.

Rather ridiculous it is, then.
