[WEEK 2, SUNDAY POST-EXECUTION: Lelouch]
[HA I SPELLED HIS NAME RIGHT ON THE FIRST TRY]
[after everything that happened at the trial, all the accusations leveled against Lelouch and the one vote he managed to garner, she's approaching]
Hey.
Did you do it?
[she doesn't actually think he did. that's why she hadn't voted for him. and yet, Magilou never did beat around the bush for things like this.]
[her injury, btw, has been taken care of. it's wrapped in a bandage, all cleaned and everything]

[ he's on the beach, anyway. or rather, he's by that rocky outcrop near the beach cavern. still the beach, but private enough that it would have probably taken magilou a while to actually find him.
he lifts his head to look at her, and his lips twitch upward into a slight smile before he shrugs. ]
Would you believe me if I said yes? Did you think I did it, Magilou?
[ he also glances at her injury, all cleaned and bandaged up. at least that's settled. ] Does that still hurt?
no subject
[that's an answer to both questions, one she doesn't mind giving. she steps forward, not sitting down next to him, but standing, her arms crossed]
And only slightly. That Musclehead didn't manage to damage me too much.
no subject
Smart answer. You know I'm not a fan of such tasteless methods of murder. [ since they talked about it earlier I guess.
he nods. ] That's good. I'd be disappointed if a witch like you was inconvenienced by brute strength.
[ your agility stat has to be higher than that, magilou!! ]
no subject
My artes are my secret weapon, but no witch worth her salt would rely solely on those!
Trickery is my next favorite tactic.
[i.e. the ladle]
no subject
That's generally why they would call it a secret weapon. [ I'm so sorry he's such a deadpan snarker.
that also pulls a kind of amused snort from him - he'd stuck around enough to see the scuffle although he hadn't participated in it to avoid being dragged into a physical fight.
like. pick and choose your own battles. ]
Smart move. [ he approves of the ladle! that was also a vague compliment. ]
[ another pause. ]
I don't think you came here just to ask me this if you were already convinced I didn't do it.
[ spit it out, magilou. what are you here for? ]
no subject
Hey, I'm hurt! Why would you ever suspect someone as honest and truthful of me of having ulterior motives?
no subject
[ it's followed by a winning smile! or a guileless one, like the one in his icon, although whether she believes him is up to her. ]
You remind me of another witch I know, after all. [ he's mentioned C.C. before, anyway, even if not by name. ] She was probably as cryptic as you are, or maybe worse.
[ it's a compliment...... kinda...... ]
no subject
[yeah okay Mags]
[at his next statement about witches, she arches both eyebrows]
Uho, this is the one you were talking about before, I assume. Am I competing with her for title of "greatest witch to ever live" now?
no subject
You should ask the Chiefs. They were responsible for the mai tais. [ ... in hallucination form... does she want to know the truth. DOES SHE. the truth is going to hurt!!! ]
One and the same. [ he'll grin. ] Do you want to turn it into a competition? I'm technically still contracted to her.
no subject
Um, no thanks. One of them lies and I still don't know which one it is.
[shrugs]
And I do happen to be a very competitive soul at heart! It keeps me youthful. [how old are you even] What is the nature of your contract? I bet I could give you a better deal.
no subject
Want to bet? My money's on Hal.
[ because... pal seems to be the more straightforward one? whatever. ]
The mai tais were a hallucination, anyway.
[ beat. ]
Ah. Considering that I would have to kill my contractor for the contract to be fulfilled, I'm not sure if you could give me a better deal. [ sheepish smile! this is actually legit geass canon I hate this. ]
no subject
[:)]
[. . . :(]
Of course they were a hallucination. How disappointing [she doesn't sound surprised] Why do you have to kill them, again? Counterproductive.
no subject
So that's what, 20 pounds? I can work with that.
[ casually ignores anything about exchange rate or whatever. ]
If it helps, I would have brought back one for you, except that it turned into a dead fish of some sort, and I don't think you would have appreciated a dead fish mai tai.
[ and he'll shrug. ] She granted me power befitting a king in exchange for her one true wish - if I killed her, then she could transfer her immortality to me.
[ is the world ready for immortal lelouch????? maybe not...... ]
no subject
Huh? No, 100 gald weighs only a few ounces at the most.
[LOOK. . .]
Her one true wish was for you to be. . . immortal??? Or-- [okay no this makes more sense] -- she had lived so long she was prepared to die.
no subject
Does it? I'll take you up on that wager with the equivalent of 100 gald in my world's currency.
[ which is like. 70 pence. or something. assuming gbp but w/e ]
Correct. Only someone she was contracted to could kill her. [ a shrug. ] My gift from her was the power of absolute obedience.
A shame that it isn't effective here, or this game would be over in mere moments.
no subject
[that seems to stoke a chord with her, although the only thing that makes that obvious is the way her facial features suddenly tighten]
My.
The power of "absolute obedience" can be a double edged sword, you know.
no subject
I'm fully aware of that, yes. It has its uses. [ a wry smile - and that leads into a topic change, because evidently this is an uncomfortable topic for both of them. ]
So tell me, what kind of a deal would you have offered to me instead?
no subject
Ooh, probably something simple. In exchange for the use of my magical powers, I would've given you a lifetime supply of free tickets to my comedy show.
no subject
... Like the one you held on Monday?
[ someone doesn't sound impressed. ]
no subject
What'd you think of it? Good, right?
no subject
Hm.
[ a pause, and then a sly grin, because you gave me blanket permission for lelouch to bully magilou. ]
I've heard better.
no subject
Do I have to kill them?
no subject
[ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ]
no subject
Do you know how impossible it is to kill a witch? Nevertheless the great, the illustrious, the mysteriously mystical and magnificently magical Magilou?
no subject
[ he grins. still playing along, apparently ]
About as hard as it is to kill a warlock, I suppose.
no subject
no subject
he's not expecting her to call him out on it. ]
[ he blinks. ]
... That depends on your definition of a warlock, actually?
no subject
Witch, but male?
no subject
... One. Had to get him to mortal before killing him though.
no subject
Uho, and how'd you manage that? Give me all the juicy details!
