🌕 first delusion; video 🌕

[rollershoes]

[ Cordis is in full effect and Rikka looks like someone's first fursona's wet dream. Fox ears sit atop her head, purple like her hair. A scorpion tail swishes back and forth. Translucent butterfly wings flap with momentous effort to keep her levitating just a few inches above a park bench.

She's still wearing her eyepatch, and she's adopted some kind of gothic lolita Lisa Frank Prismal dress code. It's best if you don't look.

And definitely don't come near her; there's the gentle scent of pheromones that'll make you crave the intimate touch of a ridiculous teenager. ]

The Wicked Lord Shingan reveals its true power-- its true form! Chimera!

[ She then stares into the camera, puffing up all four feet and eleven inches of herself -- maybe five feet and change if you count the erect ears. She points an accusatory finger at you, yes, you. ]

This is a warning to anyone from the Bureau! I will not go down easily! You will not have your way! And while you weren't around, I ate convenience store onigiri... and liked it.

[She can try and maybe she'll get a pass.]

Mechanical, entirely. I suppose there are some aspects of organic in there.

[LOOK alien robots are weird, okay.]

... Do you consider telepathy and mind reading magical?

[rollershoes]

[ She does a traditional "duck and cover" sort of maneuver. ]

You can read minds?! Of course that's magical!

[peacewithouttyranny]

[Um....]

If you are worried about me reading your mind, I won't do that. [Not intentionally anyway, he can still hear stray thoughts here and there... Plus he can't do it through the device anyways.]

[rollershoes]

N- Naturally, I have barriers erected to protect my thoughts. If you are able to pierce them, you are truly formidable. But I appreciate your assurance.

[peacewithouttyranny]

Barriers... Hm, your the first to have something like that, I might not be able to pierce them.

[He doubts it...]

Like I said, your thoughts are safe from me. I have no interest in reading anyone's head.

[rollershoes]

[ THE ROBOT BELIEVES HER. SHE'S SAFE. ]

Of course, it makes sense you would not come across such things. Not everyone possesses the magical capabilities bestowed upon me by the Wicked Lord Shingan.

[peacewithouttyranny]

[He'll humour her.]

Wicked Lord Shingan... I've never heard of them. I assume they're a powerful being?

[rollershoes]

Very powerful. Enough that it would sunder the fabric of reality for it to manifest outside of my eye.

[peacewithouttyranny]

Is that what the eyepatch is for? It is to contain your... incredible power?

[rollershoes]

That's right, Cybertronian! Without this barrier, I could not begin to tell you what would be unleashed upon the world. At best, looking me in the eye would bind our souls in a contract for life. At worst...

[ she lets it trail off like a threat, but really, she hasn't thought of a worst-case scenario ]

[peacewithouttyranny]

[At worst.......

He doesn't say anything, not wanting to interrupt her because that's rude. So, his red visor just stares straight at Rikka, expecting something.]

[rollershoes]

At worst...

We could both be consumed by his power and suffer unimaginable pain, the likes of which a mere mortal body could not withstand!

[ Yeah. That sounds good. ]

[peacewithouttyranny]

[Okay... He chuckles a bit after that. Mostly because he already experienced unimaginable pain from his own power.]

I see. It would be best to keep your... eye power closed, then. We wouldn't want to risk something like that happening to us.

My name is Soundwave. What should I call you, Powerful One?

[rollershoes]

[ thank you for pretending to believe her. it gives her life. she smiles. ]

I live among commoners under the name of Rikka Takanashi. I shall allow you to call me Rikka, should you wish.

[peacewithouttyranny]

Rikka, then...

[Her fantasies seem rather harmless, he sees no harm in playing along with it. Besides it's kinda... amusingly cute??? He got a soft spot for Rikka now.]

If you would permit it, I wish to hear more tales of the Wicked Lord Shingan.

[rollershoes]

[ Don't get a soft spot for her; it will only lead you to absurdity and ruin. ]

It's best that some things remain secret... but for you, I will try to explain.

For one whole day, myself and my servant went in search of a portal to an alternate reality that would open only at a specified time under special conditions. The Dark Flame Master had given us instructions. Yet, the conditions for its opening were not met and we were left alone to face the harsh world. Had we found such a place, I might not be here today. It was a harrowing adventure!

We are part of a strong group of magic-users and magic-adjacent people called the Far Eastern Magical Napping Society (Of Summer), where we gather to muster our forces and take on new challenges.

[peacewithouttyranny]

[Too late. He had unknowingly chosen this path of absurdity and ruin.]

Far Eastern Magical Napping Society... Of Summer. Quite the title for your group.

[He doesn't get the summer part at all...]

So you were trying to traverse to another reality and found yourself here? I see... How are you and your servant faring on this... harsh world so far?
