The Devil's Crossroads
<i>FH sat in the garden he had materialized some time ago, legs crossed in his usual ornate chair. The chair floated inches above the still surface of the reflection pond in the center of the garden, which acted as the centerpiece to the entire display. He sighed, resting his head on one hand as he flipped through a small book that levitated in front of him. He was bored, truthfully. The book contained a study within its pages, particularly on urban legends. FH had a passing interest in this sort of thing, partially with how they instill fear in the hearts of those who believe in them, and partially because seeing humanity spread stories as outlandish as these was fascinating. He stopped at one page in particular, reading each line carefully. Robert Johnson...Clarksdale...selling one's soul...interesting. The avatar smiled, and reached one outstretched finger down to the water's surface. He touched it to the water, and quickly swiped his arm upwards. Water flew upward with his finger, and in the reflections of the droplets that rose, one could make out the forms of various individuals whom FH was now willing to appear before him.</i>
A chance to reflect
<i>FH sat quietly in his chair, residing in a dark reality that humans could never enter. There could be more to it, but attempting to describe it would be a waste, as humans could never hope to understand it. The surface of what can be assumed to be the floor rippled like water, and in the reflection one could see images of a group of people, mostly teenagers fighting a mechanical humanoid. FH watched this reflection intently, before waving it away.</i> The boy seems to be under control for now. That leaves me with very little to do. Hmm. <i>He pressed a finger to his chin. Looking at the reflective surface, nothing looked back at him. He had no reflection. He never had one, he didn't particularly mind it, not being human, or even alive was a part of the job. Still, he wished to understand human emotions. The boy was only one human, and FH needed more. If only there were a way for him to observe more individuals closely.</i> <i>As if a lightbulb went off in his head, FH smirked. With the snap of his fingers, his world of black was transformed into something comprehensible. An eastern-styled garden, with cherry blossoms dancing overhead. The garden was rather large, with many a flower and stone pathways all forming a trail toward a large pool of water that FH now sat in. Well, above is a better way of putting it, his chair floating just above the still surface of the pond. The water was shallow, and if one were to look into it, they could observe their own reflection. Ads had made their way around, likely by FH's own hand. A completely free chance to relax and reflect in a tranquil environment; and now, he waited.</i>
A Princess's Show
<i>He smiles slightly, leaning against the wall as he watches the encounter from a bit further back. A Plume of Dusk? How cute.</i>
A Princess's Show
<i>A strange man with an even stranger appearance, his eyes a red deep enough to match the creature's, and his hair a pale green watches the pair as they follow it. He mumbles something, adjusting his tie with a huff. He stalks behind the pair, his feet making no sound as his shoes connect with the ground. This could be fun.</i>
A Princess's Show
<i>The man bows, a smile stretching across his face. He doesn't speak with his mouth, but in a similar way to the Incubator.</i> <spoiler><span class="underline">New? No; however, this is my first time in the field. I've seen a lot of your kind recently, Incubator. I'm honored you would ask for my help, unfortunately though, I am much like you in a sense. A third party, simply here to observe.</span></spoiler>
A Princess's Show
<i>The man, seemingly fading in and out of reality itself, there one second and gone the next begins to trail the Incubator and Kotori. Maybe there he'll find what he's after.</i>
Magic Shop Uizado
<i>As if he appeared from nowhere, a man simply was in the shop one instant. He poked around the shelves, eyeing the trinkets curiously. He had overheard the owner's reply to Gamma's query, and wanted to know exactly how strong they were.</i> Pardon me miss, but may I test one of these objects myself? I'd like to verify the legitimacy of them, if you don't mind.
Magic Shop Uizado
<i>He sighs, closing the book with an audible clap sound. He turns back to Izumi, a frustrated look on his face.</i> Well, you do indeed have the real deal, I apologize for the sloppiness. As I said, I am rather inexperienced with that sort of thing. It must be shameful to see an amateur use your wares in such a way. <i>He places the book back on the shelf where he found it, making sure the assortment is straight and presentable.</i>
Magic Shop Uizado
<i>The man decided to pick a book off the shelf, and flipped through it leisurely.</i> Magic is quite a broad subject, and I can't say I'm all too well-versed in casting from a tome; but I can try. <i>He walks towards the door, pushing it open and extending an arm outward down the length of the street. The book begins to levitate briefly as a blast of purple energy is fired from his outstretched hand and flies down the street, colliding with a building at the end of the road and eradicating it, leaving not a trace of it ever being there.</i>
Java the Hutt: Rebrew of the Cup
<i>The man simply smiles at the both of them, Gamma in particular seems to pique his interests.</i> Ah, to forge ahead in the cut throat world of business, independently even. Tell me, do you ever get truly fearful for this place's future?<div class='edited'>(edited by -F-H-)</div>
Java the Hutt: Rebrew of the Cup
Why, I agree. I much prefer things to be quiet, though. So, no skin off my nose. <i>The man appears from thin air, leaning against the counter with a smile.</i> How are you two gentlemen doing this fine evening, hm?
Java the Hutt: Rebrew of the Cup
<i>The man places a hand to his chin, covering a smile with it.</i> Ah, at least you aren't fearful in that regard. It's respectable, but unfortunately not what I'm after. I've been introducing myself as the simple letters F.H. No need to remember it, there won't be anything left to remember soon. <i>With that, he fades away, as if from existence itself.</i>
