♞ 001

[Today, DramaDramaDuck is streaming a rather strange video post: it's filming a dark, cavernous cave from the ground up. At first, the place appears to be empty, but if one looks closely they might notice that the darkness is actually moving-- tendrils of shadow swirl through the air, occasionally flicking close to the camera. Not long after, slow, quiet footsteps can be heard, followed by...]

What...?

[It's low and muttered, and the speaker clearly isn't expecting a response; the feed shakes suddenly as the device is picked up, and then it goes black.]

It's not exactly that it's a secret.

I also wasn't showing it on purpose, you realize.

Then what is it?

What's the opposite of "on purpose"?

I meant the black things. Why do you look like you're living in a hole?

Because I am living in a hole.

This is my lair.

If you're living in a hole, that just means you're homeless, even if you call it a lair.

Maybe if I were a mortal.

Even if you're a shadow man or a weird tentacle monster, it still just makes you homeless.

There are more kinds of homes than those that come with a white picket fence.

My home is beautiful and it doesn't have one. Your's is still a hole in the wall, but it does make sense for a tentacle monster.

My home is more beautiful than any mortal's could be.

Then you haven't seen mine. Not that you're allowed to.

I'm sure I will soon.

[Her eyes narrow, unimpressed.] What is that suppose to mean?

Oh, nothing.

If that was a threat, I'm not afraid of anything that looks like you.

It wasn't a threat. It was a simple statement of fact.

There's no way I would ever let a creep into my house.

You won't have to.

You're an idiot. If you even try to come here, I'll make you pay.

Challenge accepted.
