Behold: I enclose a sketch of a mysterious stranger, one whom I theorize is of great import to you all, my compatriots! I have been having recurring dreams of this man, a man whomst I have never met, and always the scenario repeats like old clockwork: I, Ranko Kanzaki, shadowed against the sunset, being apparently threatened by this demonic messenger! There the dream ends...but my memories do not.
Could it be that this is the 'Jim' we seek? And, if so, the reason why he is constantly rebuffed by Janet could not be clearer: observe those eyes, their harsh and pitiless gaze. No wonder he is left with no option other than bewitching this fair city's fruit.
I digress, however. To any other humble servant of Retrospec's divine whims - how do I get these dreams to leave me in peace? At least for now. I need to fully replenish my artes before a certain grand performance this week.
Thank you in advance! Or rather, my deepest regards.
[ ooc note: obviously, assume that ranko's sketch is a realistic scary guy, not...an anime-style scary guy... ]
[UHHH. That's a very poetic way to put "running away from your problems" but you know what, he'll take it.]
Nyante Cattailen uh Nyante Cattailen right Nyante Cattailen no problem Nyante Cattailen what scarlet moon are you talking about anyways a lunar eclipse or something?
Nyanko Nyanzaki Ho ho ho. I speak of the scarlet moon that resides in a crimson sky at dusk. Nyanko Nyanzaki It forbodes the coming of night, and the withdrawal of the tyrannical sun. It is at this time that my true purpose in this realm begins. Nyanko Nyanzaki Ho ho ho ho...
[ yeahhhh she doesn't actually know what she's talking about, she just made that all up on the fly ]
[Okay but what reality is this girl even living in..... Dante's got to give her credit though, at least she sounds a little bit more coherent than all the wannabe goths at Hot Topic, even if he's still giving his phone a skeptical look as he texts back.]
Nyante Cattailen so red on red, huh? Nyante Cattailen what's your "true purpose"?
Nyanko Nyanzaki My true purpose...'tis a many-headed serpent. I must break free from the chains that bind me and soar through the celestial plane on ebony wings. Only then can my vengeance begin in earnest! Nyanko Nyanzaki However, for now, my aptitude as an amanuensis takes precedence. Even creatures such as I may be bound to a scholarly institution, after all.
Nyanko Nyanzaki Hydra do not have wings! Nyanko Nyanzaki Unless you are referring to the feathered serpent, Quetzalcoatl, but I do not count myself amongst his followers.
i can't decide if this will be terrible or wonderful
Nyante Cattailen yeah but quetzalcoatl doesn't have multiple heads either does he? Nyante Cattailen it Nyante Cattailen i guess you could be medusa, she had a lot of snake heads too Nyante Cattailen remind me not to look directly at you, i might turn to stone
Nyanko Nyanzaki True. Unless somewhere in the depths of Hades there lies a forbidden fusion of feathers and faces, a fearsome flying fiend! Nyanko Nyanzaki Who can also turn people to stone, as you say. Nyanko Nyanzaki And I am not such a beast! My magics are not quite so indiscriminate.
Nyanko Nyanzaki All manner of machinations most foul. Nyanko Nyanzaki To speak of them freely would strike down most unprepared mortals. I will say only this: that they grant me the strength to soar like no ordinary serpent would dare dream of.
[ In other words, Ranko's ramblings don't do squat - except possibly give her a confidence boost. This 'Nyante' doesn't need to know that, though. ]
