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.

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.]
no subject
[ Pretty much. ]
no subject
[Yeah, he's really not surprised...]
Can I ask what you are, then? You aren't human, correct?
no subject
no subject
Go ahead, ask another question.
no subject
Very well then. You mentioned mind control is normally a skill you possess. Why do you find it not preferable to employ? Is it simply because it is "finicky"?
no subject
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.]
no subject
Your question.
no subject
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?
no subject
The last one then—some would call it magic and some would call it sorcery, and while I would call it neither the approximation is close enough.
no subject
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.]
no subject
housecity in order. ]We may go one more round, then. I have further duties to attend to, but meeting with all of you does provide a welcome respite. That being said— a question of a different sort. Who do you think is the most dangerous person here? Amongst your fellow survivors, that is.
no subject
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.
no subject
We agree on that much regarding Teru Mikami. A pity it is mutual, for I do not think he will be visiting me any time soon. While boredom is a terrible thing, the other individual from his world seems all too happy to live in it, so I wonder if their principles are not the same when it comes down to it.
[ The future holds the answer to that question. ]
Naturally, but you gave me a detailed answer all the same. Now as to your question?
no subject
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?
no subject
This is the first. There was, shall we say... several hiccups before we properly got started, but we expect the best of you. You are survivors, after all.
no subject
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.]
