[Okay but WHY ARE THE SPRINKLERS ON in the foyer and all along the central corridors?]

[They're just ... going to keep going. And going. And going, for just over half an hour, until there are some nice puddles all over the floors.]

[She turns quickly, and for a second her guard is clearly up before it drops just as fast.]

A magician then, are you? [Drama--so from Coco and Kit's team at that.]

I find it rather odd you would go out of your way to flick something. To what do I owe the pleasure?

Yup~! I'm a dark mage! Can't do too much right now, but I can use makeshift projectile weapons. Nya ha ha!

[He cracks himself up, really.]

My name's Henry.

Zaniah Sakuma. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance. Coco informed me of your existence.

[And that we were alike. I don't see it.]

Oh! She told me about you too! Did she say we were alike? How do you feel about manslaughter?

An efficient solution to many problems, but it is not generally ideal, permanent, or legal enough to be the best solution.

...

[His smile dampens.]

Bah. That's no fun.

Oh..?

What was the answer you were hoping for?

Well, Coco said we were alike! So I was just asking.

Clearly we're not, though. She got me good! Nya ha!

She told me you were like who I was long ago--she would have very much enjoyed murdering another.

So you're not like that anymore?

[ ... :C ]

That's kind of a letdown.

My apologies. These days I much prefer investigating an arguing the facts of murders done by others. It is quite interesting.

[ ... ]

Doesn't sound very interesting.

I mean, not compared to the actual killing.

I would not say that--you would scarcely believe the creativity of some people. Murdering someone with an ice pick through the temple, then setting it on fire to remove the evidence of how it arrived at all..! It was quite interesting.

...Okay, you may have a point there.

But you do get to see the dead guy, right?

Of course. Without my say, it is not sent for autopsy.

Au-what?

[Look, he's from the fantasy Middle Ages, okay.]

[How to put it...]

Taking apart a corpse to find cause of death.

...Where do I sign up?

[Henry, ladies and gentlemen.]

Your devotion to the macabre is admirable. I believe you will need a college degree fist.

Well, gloomy things are pretty much my favourite things ever!

...a what.

[This is, so far, just an exciting conga line of things Henry doesn't completely understand. But that's fine, because this lady's job sounds pretty cool now that he thinks about it. Granted, he doesn't get to murder everyone in cold blood, which is unfortunate, but...]

A degree. You go to a large institution of learning to find out how the body works so that you can know how to find and report what is wrong with the corpses.

Well, large institution of learning I've got! Except it mostly taught magic.

Oh..? What sort of magic did you learn?

All sorts! I'm really good at dark magic, especially.

Darkness, you say..?

How odd. Perhaps we are somewhat more alike than would be seen at first glance.
