Private Conversations



The confessional before you is ornate and well maintained, ebony colored wood embellished with the visage of two angels. A jet black curtain separates the confessional from the rest of the Church, offering a surprising degree of privacy to any eavesdroppers nearby. Unlike the rest of Krakow, the inside is dimly lit by a small light bulb securely attached to the ceiling which emits a faint red light. While the atmosphere isn't exactly cozy, it is private.

A smooth voice calls out to you once you've sat down, familiar enough to identify the speaker despite the partition between you.

"Welcome welcome. I take it something is on your mind?"


We're in a museum now, Harry.

I do, yes.

What is it you want from the Lady?

[He doesn't exactly expect an answer to that one, but curiosity compels him to ask anyway.]

[personal profile] psychophant 2020-01-07 07:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Fair enough.

[Yeah, he's really not surprised...]

Can I ask what you are, then? You aren't human, correct?

[personal profile] psychophant 2020-01-07 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmm, fair enough. I'll ask what you're capable of - what powers you have - next, then.

Go ahead, ask another question.

There are a lot of factors at play in controlling someone's mind. They require a lot of self-doubt to exploit, and you need to be able to predict their actions well enough to stay a step ahead of them. Essentially what you're doing is using illusion magic to trick them into following your commands, and such a process is exceptionally difficult to pull off without a lot of planning and time dedicated to it.

I could never control an entire army, no matter how much time and knowledge I have of each individual - it would be entirely too much strain on me. Most individuals aren't powerful enough to take that big of a risk either, and often the ones that are would be exceptionally difficult to control.

[See: King Garon and his wild, inexplicable behavior.]

Precisely.

I'd like to know about your abilities, then. What powers you have, what you're capable of. You have an interest in magic - are you capable of any?

[won't let him get away with anything, huh!!!]

I see.

[Probably powers beyond what he's familiar with, then, if Rembrandt is so curious about his own abilities.]

Do you have any further questions for me? I can certainly keep going; there's plenty I'm interested in learning about you and your boss.

[But he'll let Rembrandt decide when they're done - for today, at least. No sense in making enemies out of both the masterminds.]

[One more round, then. Fair enough.

That question though... hmm.]


That's an interesting question. I suppose it does depend on what sort of "dangerous" we're talking. I have no doubts that Sirius would prove to be quite a threat if he got it in his head to kill someone, but I wouldn't say he's the most dangerous.

...If you're looking out for someone entirely too clever for their own good, I would keep an eye on Teru Mikami. [He's not sure whether to call him "Teru" or "Mikami" so both is fine, right??] While I don't believe he'd be particularly threatening in a fight, he certainly seems intelligent.

For a physical threat, Zangetsu strikes me as the most dangerous. He seems unpredictable and wild, and I wouldn't be surprised if he snapped and killed someone simply because he was bored.

Of course, these are based solely on what little I've seen of everyone here.

[Hmm... That's interesting. Perhaps some other time he'll see if he can figure out what else Rembrandt knows about their worlds.]

Of course. I see no reason not to. You've been nothing but courteous to me, after all.

[Rembrandt certainly is fascinating too.

As for his last question... Hmm. Iago's quiet for a moment, simply considering his options before finally speaking up.]


How many times have you and your boss done this - bringing other people from worlds and demanding that they kill one another?

[personal profile] psychophant 2020-01-09 06:04 am (UTC)(link)
[The first, hmm...]

We must be a very special group of people, then.

[never mind that half of us are completely insane and the other half don't deserve this, it's fine!!]

Thank you for answering my questions. I'm certain I'll stop by again in the future - I certainly don't mind sharing more of what I know or my speculations if it means I'll get to ask you more questions.

But for now I'll take my leave. Good evening, Rembrandt.

[And even though Rembrandt might not be able to see it, he stands and offers a rather polite bow (especially considering what he's been giving everyone else) before taking his leave.

There's certainly a lot to think about, after all.]
