[You find yourself in a small, quaint little town. The architecture has a notably late-1800s bent to it, in contrast to the clean, crisp air you breathe – combined with a faint, flowery scent – it's almost as though it is not industrialized at all.

Which would be easy enough to believe. After all, there do not seem to be any people out other than you and your fellow spelunkers – in spite of the occasional whisper you might hear. Hushed and impossible to actually make out.

Far in the distance lies a towering building, similar in shape to a fairytale castle.]

Seems rather useful to me, darling, even if it's not the best thing out there... [Laughs a little and idly wanders a step closer to him] What else can your beast do?

[kjad Sei stop smirking honestly it makes him want to slap you. But yes, this whole... little aliens with weird powers is sort of fascinating to him the more he hears about it]

[Kinda... eyeing him... and teasing: ]

So you were cheating, my dear?

[kalahiki]

'Cheating' assumes there were any rules to begin with.

He is part of me, all his powers are mine.

I suppose~ [Cackles, sidling up beside him as he talks] It still seems rather dishonest to me though.
