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]

You-- you've... had to steal an eye? You mean, as in... an eye eye?

A glass one, luckily, but yes, it was someone's eye. Three someones's, actually. They were hags, and they all shared it, and passed it from one to the other.

... o-oh. That, um-- that doesn't sound... uh... hygienic.

...Oh! Er, they didn't--that is, it never, um...it didn't...go where a regular eye would go, that I ever saw. They kept it more like a trinket, and only passed it from hand to hand.

... oh.

Well-- I mean... that does sound better.

...It was, but only a bit. They were really quite unpleasant even despite that, and wanted to eat me for dinner.
