The Phantom's Lair

[Peregrine_Appleclock]

Waitwaitwaaaaaiiiit, I thought you were gettin' the hang of this!

. . . Yeah. but the problem is, every time I'm absent from topics like these for even three minutes, I'm totally lost when I get back.

[Erik_Deruin]

You are learning fast. -Smiles in approval-

[Erik_Deruin]

Indeed he is. Very observant Mademoiselle.

[Azeline_Darkheap]

Yes, he would.

Wait. . . Is this true?! Black mouse as in. . .

Indeed he is. Very observant Mademoiselle.

o-o . . .

Ohhh, shoooot.

walks up to mouse hole and leans back against wall

Sorry, lil fella. I hope you're not offended that I lightning bolted you. o-o I apologize. I didn't know it was you. And thank the Great Engineer you somehow managed to survive! Though, I must ask. Why would you side/be sympathetic with the Empire? Know you not the luscious grains of the Meadows are constantly being polluted with fog each day, even as we speak? Or is this only something your alternate universe self sides with? Not that I mind, heheh. Or do I? I'm just curious as to why you would show sympathy to the Empire when your phantom friend thinks otherwise.

[Erik_Deruin]

-Seyah flies from hole, screeching indignantly, his tiny black eyes furious- I would suggest not mentioning the Empire to him. They exterminated his family, and he loathes them.

[Azeline_Darkheap]

Little sir Seyah appears to think otherwise though? Or at least, in the Skyraiders realm.

"Now comes the question of what to do next." I muse. "I may stage another trap, those always seem to go famously with the Empire."

The mouse gives a rebellious squeak, turning its head in a refusing gesture. I whirl to face it, my eyes flashing in anger.

"I did not ask your opinion you indignant street rat!" I snap at the creature. "I mean the previous statement in all literality!"

The rodent blinked its beady eyes at me, turning to retrieve its corn before scurrying away into the darkness.

Perhaps this was a slip-up? Or was this just a portrayal of Seyah's alternate self in the Skyraiders universe?

[Erik_Deruin]

He was merely stating he did not approve of petty useless traps. He believes them a waste of supplies.

I learned quickly in my time with the Carnival.

Phanny! I had no idea that you were in the Carny! Did you have fun there?

Fun is when you find something that makes you forget the hardships you have endured

O-okay, that kind of answers my question. When did you join the circus?

My whole younger life...

Wow! What’s it like?

It is not a pleasant experience.

Yikes. Which part did you work in?

You remember the Chamber of Mirrors.

No...should I? Is it like a funhouse?

Very observant Mademoiselle.

Uh, thank you, I think? What was the ringmaster like?

He doesn't believe I am his master

I, uh, don’t think that’s how it works. I’d think he’d be a bit surprised to hear that.

He has endured larger surprises than this.

Maaaybe it would be better if I left...

Indeed.

[Ava_Tinnight1]

I used Kathrine as fake name, since I didn't fully trust you.

Ooookay! Sir Phantom what is this topic about?

[Eerie_Coppernight]

@Nola_Applequill, Erik's time with the carnival is an episode in his past that he would rather not discuss. He did not have fun, he was abused and tormented in the freak show. I must beg you not to mention it again as it is an especially painful memory.

[Kimkate_Burnclock]

@Erik_Deruin Just out of curiosity. When you're active on the forums, is it during the day or night for you?

[Kimkate_Burnclock]

Also, Eerie and I won't be here for most of our usual time. There's a possibility, but only a slight one.

[Jane_Gogglerubble]

Yeah, @Nola_Applequill1, why are you talking about Erik’s past in the Carny??

(I must confess, @Eerie_Coppernight, it may not have been @Nola_Applequill1 who wrote that post, though we do share the same great taste in fashion!)

[Eerie_Coppernight]

My most profound apologies, @Nola_Applequill. Now mademoiselle, please do not ask the Phantom about his time in the carnival.

[Alex_Amberblast1]

Excuse me, but @Eerie_Coppernight, do you realize you are sounding a bit like a bodyguard?

[Gloria_Oldenpinner]

A protege bodyguard.

Though I agree with Alex, @Eerie_Coppernight. I think @Erik_Deruin can fend for himself quite alright.

[Erik_Deruin]

Now, now! She is only trying to save me rather unsavory explanations. These subjects are harsh and do not bode well for me to speak of them.

[Erik_Deruin]

@Eerie_Coppernight, pay them no mind. You are doing me a great service.

[Eerie_Coppernight]

You are quite welcome, Monsieur Erik.

[Erik_Deruin]

I most commonly can be found here around Four to Five Central time.
