exsilium | Second Dirge

[The video clicks on to reveal the back of a young woman running away in terror, and a black hand waving after her.]

Thanks!

[Ophelia sounds so amused as she says that, and she turns the camera around to her face, grinning.]

So, I don't know about the rest of you, but I am definitely enjoying all of this. Such panic! [She laughs, and then shakes her head.]

Anyway, not the point. You know those poor little creatures you're all trying to kill? Those bunnies and birds and everything else. You don't have to kill them.

[She turns the camera again to show that her other hand is held out towards her side, and the black tears are stretching off of it, forming into two solid cages on the ground. Inside one, an undead bunny and an undead squirrel are running in circles, and in the other, an undead sparrow flutters about pecking at the black 'bars', to no avail.]

I'll take them off your hands. Aren't they adorable? Just let me know, and I'll come get them.

Unless they bite you, then I suppose you won't be calling anyone. [She smirks, and then pauses.]

Hmm, does anyone know where I can get some more...permanent cages?

[ HAHA whoops look at that, questions he doesn't want to answer. ]

Did I say head thing? Good gracious, I have no idea why! What head thing indeed? I don't even know what I'm talking about at this point!

...So, dropped on your head as a baby, then? [I mean, look at the evidence he's putting forward...]

[ ... the possibility is there. ]

Absolutely not! My grandma would never pull a stunt like that with a baby!

Then what head thing?

Just... a head that happened to find its way into this world around the time I arrived! Nothing important.

...What?

It's a long story that I'm still foggy on the details of. Rest assured, it had nothing to do with actions of my own, and the thing has long since been buried.

Right.

So, boring story is boring.

[ On the one hand, he doesn't want to seem boring, on the other hand... does he really want to be talking about that incident? ]

Not boring, per say! Just that I don't have all the details of it. Really, you'd need to find out what it was all about from Dirk if the jackass would ever show up here!

Hmm. I'll keep that in mind. Maybe it'll be less boring then.

[ Wait... this still isn't really what he wants. ]

He's not that interesting though!

Oh? But you just said he'd explain, which has to make him more interesting since you won't.

[ Nothing about this situation is okay right now. ]

Maybe I've changed my mind and I'll explain after all!

[She just waves her hand vaguely at the screen.]

I'm waiting, then.

[ Oh boy, where to even start with this. ]

Just to make it clear here and now I was in no way at fault for his heading coming off! In fact, I woke up with the damn thing rolling about nearby without a clue as to how it even got there at first! As far as I can tell Dirk cut his own friggin' head off and plopped it down on my doorstep for me to trip myself on.

...So, you have a head with you? An actual human head?

Well not anymore! A friend and I buried it the day I showed up here.
