"What can I say? I am who I am. At least I'm consistent."

(sliske will be on my wip multimuse instead!)

{ ♠ }— “Oh, don’t be so bland. It must be magic. So, what’s your secret? Hiding some runes? An elder artefact, perhaps? What’s up your sleeves, magician?” Sliske grins. Was the man getting tired of him? Or, better still, was he striking a nerve? Something had subtly changed in the man, and it shone to Sliske like a magpie finding shiny trinkets. Finally, something interesting in all this back-and-forth.

{ ♠ }— Twisting, winding, the staircase was almost giving him a headache, grotesque masks tied to rocks and, oh, this next step walked him into a hall. How... infuriating. Steps away was another companion, equally as lost in this chaotic maze. And yet, three, four, five steps wasn’t enough, as though walking a mile was needed to reach the man’s side. Sliske growls, but bared teeth soon slide into a playful grin as he eyes the equally lost stranger. “Enjoying the party? The company could do some work, but the aesthetics are gorgeous. Tell me, do you have any idea what’s going on?”

{ ♠ }— The lightning pierces the ground mere feet away and yet, Sliske merely scowls, unflinching. “Home is beautiful,” he grumbles, voice shrill and mocking a memory of time gone by. It wasn’t, far from it, eyes casting over a pool of lava and feet brushing the soot and blackened dirt underfoot. But something of a shadow steps from the craggy rocks nearby, and Sliske smiles, turning on his heel to the stranger. “Freneskae is so much more fun with company!”

He gets to his feet, staff in one hand, and bitten arm hanging loosely at his side. Staring down at the girl, the previously menacing grin switches to a playful demeanour. Chipper as always, as though the bite hadn’t sunk as deep as it did. (He’d had worse, anyway.) “You wouldn’t happen to know if there’s a hospital here, somewhere? Or an apothecary, perhaps? “

Event starter call, capped at 2! All threads will be approx. 1 paragraph long. Like for starter. Sliske’s dreams will largely be hellish landscapes and confusing labyrinths. Have fun navigating them
