[Accidental Video] Backdated to Midmorning

[ocd_reaper]

[Kid stayed up until the wee hours of the morning straightening picture frames.]

[All of them.]

[In all the public places of the mansion.]

[Fortunately, the image of him is just him being groggy but fully dressed instead of partially dressed.]

[Also, he's glaring at a flower-like chalk drawing on the floor.]

Honestly. Has she no respect for people's privacy?

[He goes to get a bucket and scrub brush. As soon as he leans in, brush at the ready, the chalk drawing glows and suddenly there are flowers all over his floor.]

Okay! I get it! I'll try not to wash them off anymore!

[...just... so much WTFery here.]

Okay, did what I thought just happen happen, and who the hell have you pissed off to make them do that?

[ocd_reaper]

Yes, it did. [Oh, Father, the pollen alone! He's going to have to wash everything!] If you see a little girl doodling with chalk on the walls and floor, do yourself a favor: don't touch it.

[has_a_phd_in_teddybear]

[That may just have been an amused snerk.] You annoyed a little kid?

[ocd_reaper]

I was just trying to keep things clean! I didn't know they were important!

[has_a_phd_in_teddybear]

[Just chuckling] Never thought to ask though, did you? [Never mind that Dean wouldn't. mind you, Dean would probably let her carry right on, unless the room had been paid for, such as in a motel.

And then his amusement fades into a little more seriousness.] You should probably watch yourself a little more.

[ocd_reaper]

Yeah, I will. From now on I'm going to try and send out a message first to make sure. [He shudders.] I'm lucky I didn't trip anything truly bad. Magic in my world is much more structured. If you don't unmake an array just so, you can spring any number of booby traps.

I just can't always stop myself when something doesn't look right...

[creepydollchild]

Now, are you sure you've learned your lesson, 'kay?

[ocd_reaper]

Yes, yes, I've learned it! Just, please, don't do that again! I don't even know what I'm supposed to do with all these flowers...

But, when you do make those drawings, do you think you could have two of each?

[At least give him this much, Lymle? ;A;]

[creepydollchild]

[...well, she should probably takes arumat's advice and not make enemies. but she can't outrightly say yes. not to you, at least. So:]

I'll do as many as I want to, 'kay?

I hope you're proud of yourself. XD

[ocd_reaper]

[He needs to stay mature. He has to represent his father here, and he can totally--]

[Yeah, no. Going on his knees and begging.]

Just try and make them in even numbers, okay? That's all I ask. Please? Please?

she is, kinda XD

[creepydollchild]

Hmmm..... [thinking, thinking] I can do your roof too, 'kay? [She means your ceiling.] That'll make two, 'kay?

[ocd_reaper]

[Ack! Flail!]

Not here! I mean, when you draw in the halls and such!

ARUMAT IS TRYING NOT TO SMIRK.

[angryspaceelf]

It appears you have angered Lymle.

Arumat, you are a jerk. >_>

[ocd_reaper]

[And he's picking flowers as carefully as he can. However, while there's no dirt, there is pollen and flower petals all over the floor. There is a small sob as he keeps at his task. Someone's going to be pulling an all-nighter tonight.]

Yes, yes, I have.

It's his job to not be liked. He has to say all the tough things!

[angryspaceelf]

She is a child in many ways. Her symbols are powerful and her knowledge of symbology rivals my own. Perhaps even overcomes it.

[He looks at the upset boy confusedly.]

I would ask that you let her symbols stay. They have practical uses and have achieved the impossible before. I do not wish her to make enemies, but she is incapable of behaving like an adult.

[Why did he promise to speak to Death? why?]

1/2

[ocd_reaper]

I didn't know they were arcane symbols! The ones where I'm from are more structured! That and she didn't even tell me what they were! I thought they were just drawings!

2/2

[ocd_reaper]

But I promised I would try not to clean them up, and I will. I just...can't always stop myself when something doesn't look right.

[Like the picture frames for example. The mansion's probably never had more precisely aligned picture frames.]

[angryspaceelf]

I apologise for her behaviour. I have instructed her to attempt to be civil.

[Though he can't promise anything. He surveys you. So you have some form of compulsion. Interesting.]

[ocd_reaper]

[Yes. And if they were in proper alphabetical order, like they should be, the acronym for it would be "CDO".]

Thank you. I'll try not to make her angry. [He probably won't do as well as he'd hope though.]

[video]

[chest_rubber]

Whoa!

[Wait, no, there's a person here. Becky can't help but smile though. The sudden flowers was cool, okay?]

Are you okay?

[video]

[ocd_reaper]

Yes, I'm fine. Sort of. It's going to take forever to clean this up...

[video]

[chest_rubber]

How did that even happen? You would think she would like you cleaning the place up. Someone has to, right?

[video]

[ocd_reaper]

Apparently, they're not just drawings: They're arcane symbols. Most likely for protection. I'm lucky I didn't end up getting my arm blown off when I washed them up.

[He may be a reaper, but that'd still hurt a heck of a lot.]

[video]

[chest_rubber]

They don't look like any symbols I've ever seen. Most of the symbols I've heard of I haven't actually seen though, so I guess that's not much help. [Pause.] Could symbols like that really hurt people?

[video]

[ocd_reaper]

In my world? Yes. We've lost several good Meisters and Weapons to improper removal of spell arrays.
