[Console | Video/Action?] did I disappoint you (possible spoilers)

[edgeoftheknife]

[The man in the video is gorgeous. True, there are dark circles under his eyes as if he hasn't slept well in weeks, but it kind of gives him that "I just stepped off a movie set and wow am I tired from being beautiful all day" look. If you've been around the Midnight Hotel at all over the past couple of weeks you've probably seen him there, shadowing after Anton Shudder like a lost puppy--which is pretty nearly the expression on his face most times as well. He looks lost.

He looks like he's forgotten what he came on here to say, as a matter of fact.

After a few more seconds he perks up, looking up at the camera instead of off to the side as he had been. When he speaks it's with an Irish accent.]

Right, hello. Ah, sorry about that. I seem to have misplaced my... brain, today. Anyway, I've met a few of you already, but for those I haven't, my name is Erskine Ravel. I also answer to "Grand Mage" or possibly "hey you."

[He gives a little two-fingered salute and a slight smile.]

I was hoping...

[He goes quiet, frowning.]

What was I hoping, again? I.... Mm, nope, it's gone. Ah well, if it was important it'll come 'round again. At any rate, I hope everyone's having a lovely day. Pay someone a compliment and don't forget to tip your waitress.

[The video abruptly stops.]

I did? [He seems surprised for a moment, then nods slowly.] I suppose I did. I'll take your word for it, anyway. It sounds like something I might say.

[He smiles at the "handsome" bit]

We can agree on that, at least. I should use that the next time someone threatens it. Cruel and unusual punishment for the rest of you lot. Think they'd go for it?

I've got a rather strong feeling you could convince most people of anything you wanted to.

[Wink.]

[edgeoftheknife]

[A chuckle] There is a rumor going around to that effect, yes, though I try not to pay too much heed to rumors.

Could I convince you to tell me your name?

[phoenixstrut]

[This was too fun.]

Dove Eden-- and your own?

[edgeoftheknife]

[Huh. She could almost be a sorcerer from his own world, with a name like that.]

Erskine Ravel, former Grand Mage of Ireland. A pleasure to meet you, Ms. Eden.
