002 | [Accidental Video/Action]

[ivorymask]

[The feed clicks on, and anyone watching will be greeted to a violent flurry of motion. The communicator has been carelessly tossed to the ground, but it fortunately landed face up, and is recording all the action. Sharp snarls and high-pitched squeals are coming from all directions, and one might recognize the mischievous, darting shapes as Ballybogs. They seem to have attacked the Deity as he went wandering through the meadows.]

[Things were not going to go as planned for the Ballybogs, however.]

[Savagely, the Oni is lashing out and striking down the screaming, shrieking little beasts, his eyes practically burning with contempt. Then, just as suddenly as it started, it seems to be over, the survivors squeaking and fleeing from the wrathful being. Tiny little corpses lay strewn at his feet, and the Deity paces for a moment, clearly agitated.]

[Then, suddenly, he takes a seat, snatching up one of the fallen fae and tearing into its flesh with his sharp teeth. Yes, he is proceeding to devour the bodies. On video. He doesn't really notice its on, and in truth, he wouldn't really care if he did.]

[Saki's voice is nearly a screech.]

Put that down right now young man!

[That's right, Deity. You just got 'young man'ed.]

[To Saki's credit, he does at least pause temporarily, white eyes darting across the meadow until they finally land on the communicator. He recognizes Saki--or that much can be implied in the way he settles back down, still chewing thoughtfully. No, he has no intention of putting it down. He's hungry. Again.]

Put it down! [Flail!] That thing could have lyme disease or lice or syphilis or influenza and you're just -- th -

[Words!]

[His brow crinkles with irritation, and he deliberately takes another savage bite from the thing as he stares directly at the camera. You can't make him do anything, Saki, village leader or not.]

Put it down or I'll never make you a sandwich again.

[Did she just threaten him?]

[His jaws are open only centimeters from the half-eaten corpse, but he hasn't moved to take another chomp. Clearly her threat held some sort of weight for the Deity. With a frustrated snap, they shut, and he drops the fae with disgust, not-quite growling at the screen as though it's all Saki's fault.]

They started it.

That doesn't mean you have to finish it, [sternly, and then her voice warms a little.]

Next time you're hungry, just tell me, okay?

[Truly? The Deity stops dead for a minute.]

Always?

[ -- she is going to regret this, she just knows it.]

Sure. Always.

[Hm. Endless offerings. The sound of that is acceptable, and the Deity tilts his head.]

Now?

[othersided]

[She's tired and cold, but she did just promise. Regretting already!]

Yeah, okay. You know where to go, right?

[There's a low, amused sound at that, and Saki might catch him idly tossing the rest of the Ballybogs aside as he gets to his feet.]

Yes.

I'll see you there. Don't eat anything until I give the okay.

Will try. [The being makes no guarantees, but he'll start making his way to the inn.]

[She'll be there when he gets there! Putting together the largest sandwich she's ever made. But first -- ]

[Hello there, delicious offering. The Oni does not bother to hide the sound of his footsteps as he approaches, standing directly behind Saki and peering over her to watch her work.]

[She whirls around, holding out an archaic but still very useable tooth brush.]

Brush your teeth first.
