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.

[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.]
no subject
But trying is better than not.
no subject
[the tail lowers and swishes back and forth.]
no subject
Even your tail manages to be menacing. Stop that.
no subject
[the tail slows to a stop, but the spade tip flips up and down at at yuri once or twice. hehe.]
no subject
...
Moving your tail counts as something, Sebastian.
[ oh ]
Is that a recent addition or something you always had?
no subject
[yes, sure. but he flops it away exactly like a cat would when you try to touch their tail. he is quiet for a long moment, debating.]
It depends. The form I took on previously did not have a tail, no.
no subject
... that implies your previous form wasn’t a real form. “The form I took on previously”?
no subject
Mm, it was not. It was a human form. [his orange eyes lift.] But, you see, I am not human.
no subject
...
Shocking, really. [ DRY ]
What are you then? If not human. [ yuri’s brain: what are yooouuu ]
no subject
I am a demon.
no subject
Even outside of the current changes here?
... This doesn't look a lot like what I'd expect from a demonic beast, though. [ fire emblem word do you have demons? (magic 8 ball says no) ]
no subject
[(unamused)]
This is a rather crass representation of a demon. We are not necessarily all horn, hoof, and tail.
no subject
[ hm. ]
I don't think you're the kind of demonic beast I'm referring to, though. You'd be much bigger. And uglier.
