they reach up with one hand to pull the hood away from their head, sliding it up off the long, slightly twisted horns. a handsome man is left behind. long, dark hair tumbles down over his back and chest. his skin has been scorched coal-black, and his eyes almost disappear into it by being similarly colored. the irises and pupils glow like orange embers.
and now i'm done calling anna out on pretending like she wasn't sebastian for the past MONTH, he just gives sebastian a look up and down. ]
You're all having quite the time with these changes, aren't you? [ he has tea and he's going to sip it before continuing. ] So, are you still going by "Gluttony" only or do you have a name under all that mystery?
[with no rush, he makes his way over to stand near yuri and the table. he places a hand on his chest, and offers yuri a formal bow, lashes demurely lowered with his head.]
Yes, I'm aware. A side effect of being here, and what you have to do?
[ ..... lawd. (yuri voice) i see he is ominous and also ominously attractive and i hate that for everyone, honestly. ]
Sebastian, then. A little less impersonal than "Gluttony". [ ... ] I had something I wanted to ask, and double check I guess. Sorry for calling you out just for that.
[ he is aware that some avatars get tired of it. ]
I'm not a fan of being powerless when it comes to voting. And I'm suspicious of the fact certain names keep cropping up from week to week in second place.
[ he looks thoughtful. ]
I have an idea of the average number of people that vote, even when a culprit is clear. An extra vote could make all the difference.
[he clasps yuri's hand, his grip firm without being unpleasant. the heavy weight of fear numbs yuri starting from the arm, making his head ache. liquid shadow licks its way up yuri's arm slowly. the lights and digital wall in the room begin to flicker.
the ends of sebastian's hair curl up, turning into shadows themselves, and darkness begins to bleed out of him. his smile is razor sharp. yuri doubles over momentarily, choking on fearful desperation. it feels like the world is going to end right this moment, consume him.
and then all at once, suddenly, it fades, and sebastian is left there as if nothing has happened, smiling politely. he releases yuri's hand, and yuri's phone chimes. there's a message. Extra Serving with an attachment.
You can put in one additional trial vote because no one can stop you from getting seconds.]
[ well. now he understands a little of how shi must've felt, although while terrible and something that he never wants to experience again in his life-- he doesn't spend too long doubled over in abject horror.
he'll look up and it's a very, very flat and maybe slightly shaken look, directed right at sebastian. ]
Good to know I was right to be cautious about making deals with you. Do you do that every time?
Yes, I am afraid so. It happens when any of you perform a deal with me directly about one of my powers.
[haha.
he continues to smile pleasantly.]
You should always be careful of what deals you make with other people, Mister Leclerc. A discussion regarding the terms and conditions should always be done.
no subject
Yes? It's nice to talk to you all face to face without all the mystery. I'm good at keeping secrets too.
no subject
[it isn't a question.

he folds the hood neatly over one forearm.]
Very well.

no subject
No need to apologize. I am a servant, after all. Being called is a part of my day. What was your question?
no subject
The power Extra Serving is one of yours, isn't it?
no subject
Yes, it is mine.
no subject
And what's the criteria for getting hold of it as an extra power.
no subject
You only need ask, and I will consider the request.
no subject
Alright then -- I'll ask. Would you be able to give me that power?

[hehe.
he extends one gloved hand out to yuri to take. he smiles foxishly again.]
If it is power you seek then, Mister Leclerc.
no subject
Yes, I figured as much.
[ he... looks at the hand a little flatly. and then sighs, and takes it. yolo, he would supposed if he knew what yolo was. ]
Everything is so very ominous with you. It's like a talent.
no subject
Ah. Well, I am merely just one hell of a butler.

[ damn if you wanted them to kiss as payment anna you should've just said so. ]
I'll get over it. It's worth the extra power.
no subject
I am glad you consider it so. I hope it serves you well in the future.
no subject
It should do. Especially if, as you say, we've been subjected to manipulative voting before.

[the tail gives a lazy, curious sway back and forth at the tip.]

But trying is better than not.
