the_campus | +1 elder god in human avatar form

[Those outside in the courtyard are seeing an interesting sight today. A man in strange purple robes is sitting on the fountain, silent.

No, not on the rim. He's literally sitting on top of the cherub decoration on top of the fountain, apparently indifferent to the very distinct discomfort it has or the fact that his legs are getting utterly soaked from it.

Mantorok is... thinking. This was new. Strange. Being transported randomly was not, in fact, something that he tended to experience, even in his "avatar" form, as it were. That he could still feel his real body, however distant it was, is reassuring, and his magic hasn't seemed to suffer even slightly for it, which is equally comforting.

Or at least as comforting as an elder god would need.

He was a bit... curious about those who ran around in this world. Were the people around here similarly teleported by some force? It certainly wasn't Trappers, and it wasn't as if different worlds was a strange concept.

But he's not about to go around asking people, no. Instead, he simply sits, and he waits, an aura thick with dangerous magic around him. Those who were even slightly curious about magic or the occult would find themselves drawn to him... while for those who had magic talent at all, it would be like a gigantic beacon, he's sure.

Waiting, always waiting for what it is that he wants... and this world would be no different. At least for right now.]

Discomfort barely registers... even pain on this body is something so insignificant that it barely enters my awareness. The worst is a little sluggishness with this body, but that's simple enough to fix.

Impressive... You must have one hell of a physical endurance.

Hah! Call it that if you wish... but why should something like "pain" bother one like me, hm?

You're missing out...

I think I'm quite fine lacking the ability to hurt... it would be bothersome if this human avatar could be subdued, don't you think?

Probably... but that's the problem with being a 'god', you know? If there's no risk, or discomfort, and everything comes down to literal instants of pleasure or annoyances, it's not even worth existing.

Heheheheheheh... you think so, do you...

Far be it from me to correct you, then, my ghostly friend.

Tch... [Sitting cross-legged on the ground (apparently having forgotten his own DON'T LOOK DOWN AT ME speed of before), he scowls a little.]

Are you really a god? You don't act like any God I've heard of.

If I'm not, then I've been manipulating the wrong planes of existence for a long time now.

...time passes in a blink for you, and you're fucking with humans?

I never said that was all I did.

I'm almost afraid to ask. What does a God do for entertainment?

Heheheheheh... that's my little secret.

[...he's relieved to hear that. Boredly, he shifts, stretching out on the ground and supporting himself on his hands.]

I'll take it as a challenge, then...

...Oh? A challenge to discover what can amuse me for a length of time, is it?

Of course! You're probably going to be stuck for a while, so it'll be interesting if I can.

Heheheh... all right!

Then how about this. Every time you can truly amuse me... I'll teach you a piece of the power I have. In fact, I'll even give you the first piece right now, in exchange for making me look forward to this little challenge.

Oh? Interesting! Teach away, then.

Come here, then.

[He gives Bakura a lazy wave over.]

[Getting up, he approaches with an equally lazy air - albeit one that's tinted with curiosity.]

[Manny holds his hand out, palm-up. In it is shimmering a strange-looking symbol in a bright purple color, just floating an inch or two above the skin and rotating slowly.]

Let's start with the Alignment Rune, then, since I'm feeling so generous.

[A floating rune? He reaches out to touch it, curiously, wondering what it feels like.]

'Alignment Rune'?

[It feels like tingling magic. The moment he touches it, it disappears into his body, the magic and use of the rune being granted to him... without the knowledge following it.]

That's another lesson, now, isn't it?

[-!]

Amazing...! [And that just gives him more incentive to try to entertain this guy because that is pretty damn cool.]

Next time, I can either explain what rune that was... or what Alignment runes are. Your choice!
