[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.]

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.

Well, my darkness isn't just darkness. It's also memory, emotions, death, transformation, and other things that can't really be handled using regular elements like lightning or fire!

Oh? Mine generally involves the void, gravity, and utterly unmaking things.

Oh, the void and utterly unmaking things, I can do! ...Kinda. I don't have the right spellbooks for that stuff right now.

Gotta channel power and all that.

I see... My seal handles that for me.

Seal? What kind?

[He props his head up on his hands, leaning against the table. Most of the seals he knows are for prohibiting things, not encouraging them.]

It is known as the Elemental Seal of Darkness. It holds back certain dark deities, but also provides its holder with certain capabilities related to the element.
