[With Halloween gone, you might be pulled into an illusion of safety. Afterall, there's no reason to be pestered now, no new costumes to be added, no creepy monsters to follow you.

Ah, but one can always be an inconvenience to those in this land. Nothing so terrible this time, depending on your views and past experiences... You're likely to wake up with a set of wings today.

No arm replacement, just a pair of large wings like typical imagery of angels, in a variety of colors and textures fitting the owners. You could freak out, wonder at the fluff of down, or even attempt to fly - and yes, it is possible, although watch out you're not in mid-air by the time this addition ends.]

[[Good ol' fashioned Wings Event! Exactly what it sounds. & don't worry, charas are unlikely to end up splattered in the ground because of this.

EN ESPAÑOL. El clásico post de Alas! Exacto lo que suena. & no se preocupen, los personajes tienen poca chance de terminar aplastados en el suelo por esto.]]

[Or is it, indeed.][This time, he just keeps looking at you, even when you don't, scrutinizing. His tone is light, though, almost casual.]

I'm not surprised you met him already. Eli is quite good at making friends. [And that's a blatant lie, but he doesn't even blink saying it. Whatever Eli thought of you, it was probably more close to 'useful' than 'friendly'-- it's the same thing Victor would have thought. But right now, what he's thinking is not about ways of capitalizing this interaction, but more just... how puzzling your resistance to his power is.]

And what do you make of this place? [As he says that, he turns up a little the imaginary dial that is his ability to increase pain, just to see what happens. Now is not a faint discomfort you would feel, but something like a slight prickle all over your body-- almost pain, but not quite there yet.]

[The increase may be but a nudge, but perhaps exactly because it's so deliberate and targeted at him directly now... this becomes the moment where the line crosses from a willfully ignored subconscious to aware and baffled, for Akechi.

His left hand clenches reflectively and remains like that shakily, a flicker of confusion on his face that he actively has to force back to neutral. The furrow lingers between his brows, hidden by his long bangs over his forehead, but still -- what? What the fuck is... He almost looks like he's going to ask you to repeat the question. Or glare at you for speaking at all, but neither happens (yet?)]

Hmm? ... There probably isn't as much insight for me to give, comparatively at least. As I've been told, this particular place isn't even the first sort world that others have been forced to settle in.

[Meanwhile little old him has definitely never done any crossing of dimensions and the like, nah.... His answer comes out somewhat drawn out like he's focusing on speaking words as a distraction enough to think through the strange sensation.]

[Maybe it's the magic of this world? Maybe the wings? Perhaps you are about to sprout feathers all over your body, wouldn't that be fun!]

[Now, that-- that, he notices. The subtle change in your expression, the tension and forced blankness, the distraction. Oh, so you noticed it, now? Perhaps you are not really immune to his abilities... and that makes everything even more intriguing.

But he continues, conversational.]

No, I've heard the same. [More than that, he has experienced it. But again, he doesn't need to tell you that.] It makes you wonder, about what we consider 'strange' and 'normal' in our own worlds.

[He says, shaking barely his black wings behind him, significantly. At the same time, he pushes the dial even a little more-- now you should feel a dull ache, like you were going to catch the flu any moment.]

[The wings is an easy enough first guess but instinct tells him something about it doesn't feel quite right to surmise either. When the increase comes again, he's overwhelmed with the desire to slump over, to press a hand over his own face and bites back heavily against a groan. For the first time since coming here, he seriously considers dropping his entire facade for the annoyance of this moment alone.

Doesn't go unnoticed either that the person sitting beside him has made no mention of anything like what he's experiencing and... well, if Akechi was resistant without realizing it at first, now he's at full stubborn and shoving back against the effect even harder. He's made it to TV programs perfectly while feeling infinitely worse than this. But fuck.]

It certainly is relative. [Breathes out in slow, measured exhales, shifting his crossed leg to settle better and keep his hands at his knee again.] Magic and perhaps even things such as these wings could well be a normal affair for enough people here.

Coming from a city without such things has... been something of an adjustment.

[He's still looking at you, with a relaxed expression but with sharp eyes, intent on noticing any sign of discomfort or pain. And the way you try to level your breathing, those little movements that could pass for normal changes in your position but could also be disguising unrest-- that's enough for now.

He straigthens a bit, satisfied with his little experiment and the conclusions he draws from it: you are definitely affected by his power, and any remarkable resistance you have is mental, not physical.]

Oh, we all need to adjust now and then. Some more than others. [As he says this, he lifts completely his power from your nerves. The strange and painful sensation should disappear abruptly, as mysteriously as it appeared, and it might leave you wondering if it was there at all in the first place. But the relief your body would feel can be evidence of the contrary.] It's the key to survival, after all.

[The thing is- Akechi has seen those eyes before. Not from Victor directly, of course, not even from anyone here until this exact moment. Another time and place long past, authoritative figures looking at him just to watch him tick, to take him apart and re-piece him together again. Impassive faces yet wild watchful eyes.

Suddenly he wants to laugh, to let loose a deranged, defiant cackle that Loki would be proud of. Especially so when the pain leaves him and it feels like he's been punched from the relief of it harder than if he had left it. Maybe... if Akechi was less obsessive and observant himself, this would have passed as just a strange occurrence, a random magical situation. In the end, it's Victor's eyes that make him certain of exactly what just happened. He nearly calls it out on the spot no evidence and all, holding back only just barely where his rage simmers.

What a neat fucking trick you have there.]

... Really. I'm not sure necessarily that I agree with that? [TV winning smile, no seething to see here.] It could just as well be a key to complacency.

[This is a confrontantion of obsessive, observant people, that's been left clear a while ago at this point. Victor himself doesn't miss on it, because he thinks he can see a hint of realization on your eyes-- Ah, well, that would be consistent with what he has observed so far. He would be almost disappointed if you didn't at least suspect him a bit, even if it's not really convenient.

Yes, it is indeed a neat trick. Except on the occassions it kills him, but other than that, he's really good at finding uses for it.]

... Hmm. And we wouldn't want to give into complacency, would we? [He straigthens a bit then, a hint of something like an amused smile on his lips.] That's a dangerous game.
