[console | video/action] identity issues

[The video begins with the camera focusing not on a face, but on a very fancy, wide-brimmed cavalier hat. People who've been in Keeliai for a while will likely recognize this guy instantly. For those who haven't had the pleasure--

Meet Rue. Also, meet the small, fat, beautifully-colored songbird sitting on top of Rue's hat. It's currently singing the tune to the Beatles song Hello, Goodbye.

Rue's high-pitched, nasal English accent sounds much more aggravated than his usual laissez-faire attitude.]

Ravel, your bird is back. Kindly come collect it before I feed it to the giant wolf.

[Rue's face hardly ever shows on the camera. When he does appear it's a flash of powdered skin or rouged lips. He's wearing a lilac-colored silk frock coat to go with the cavalier hat, and a shiny black brooch holds a decorative feather on the breast of the coat. Nothing about this guy looks modern.

In the corner of the feed, on the chair behind and just to the side of Rue in the Hotel, a fluffy white cat appears. The cat leaps up to the top of the chair and perches, eyes locked on the bird, ready to pounce. Neither Rue nor the bird seem to notice yet.]


((ooc: For those who haven't suffered through Rue yet: yes, this is Erskine. He is, however, quite good at disguising his voice, and his appearance is currently magically altered. Also Rue is horrible and I apologize in advance but not really))

Action!

[Unlike Rue and the bird, Valdis is well aware of the cat now wandering the Hotel. In fact, she is currently eyeing it with something close to horror as it balances on the chair, its tail twitching back and forth.]

Er-Rue?

[The cat pounces]

What is that behind you?

[She's never seen a cat before and it's not like they have them in Keeliai.]

[ So, besides the guy that looks like he stepped out of The Phantom of the Opera, Leo is more concerned about the cat that is this close to have some bird for dinner. ]

Uh, there's a cat behind your bird. You should probably make sure it doesn't eat it or something.
