video; un: ihavequestion
[ The video turns on displaying one of the apartment building living spaces. For the most part it looks like the typical default space, but in the background there's a low table containing incense burners and what are probably offerings. The structure sitting behind it also looks like a shrine... a very small one, but made with loving detail. The lighting is intentionally dim, and Abe no Seimei is kneeling in front of the arrangement next to a black cat that is likely familiar to some in the city. ]
Since we've been facing some unanswered mysteries lately, I thought we should conduct a ritual to try to get some answers. The preparations are all complete if anyone would like to participate in the Offering Game.
[ As he says that, he lights several candles and places them around the cat in front of him. Once the cat, seated on what looks like a cushion on top of an array is properly surrounded, he asks: ]
Are you ready?
[ The cat, for it's part, stares at the lit candles and then snaps it's head around to shoot a look at Seimei that somehow seems deeply betrayed. Apparently, this was not part of the original plan. The only thing audible is a rumbled, plaintive meow, but Seimei nods as in in perfect understanding.
Answer received, Seimei claps his hands together two times and recites what might be a chant, but the words are difficult to make out over the device. Technical difficulties? The candles flicker, then abruptly seem to gain strength as they cast an ominous massive cat-like monster shadow behind the form of the housecat. ]
We are ready. In exchange for a personal story, we can now trade one offering to this great spirit and receive a fortune! But beware, we don't know what kind of answer the unknown may offer us. But if you would like to play, answers do await.
[ Seimei bows once to the cat and once to the camera. The cat stares at the camera for a long, unblinking moment before letting out a sigh that seems to shift it's entire body. There's another, brighter flash that seems to take up the entire screen for a second--the candles flaring?-- but when it clears, the actual cat is gone and all that remains is the shadow creature.
Though the close listener might hear something that sounds like a mumbled hate you so much coming from somewhere off screen. ]
[ooc: Both Seimei and Kai will be replying to this post to play a dumb creepypasta game and discuss possibly real magic.]

[Loki huffs slightly, annoyed that he might be blamed for causing this when he had no idea. He doesn’t even like getting blamed when he is at fault so he’s definitely not standing for it now.]
Hmm, well yes I can agree with that. Just make sure your friend knows it was nothing to do with me. And if you would like some tea, I have quite the assortment. Tell me your favourite and I will ensure you get some.

[He sounds surprised by that question. Maybe even a little hurt that he would be asked such a thing. Yet he's still smiling through the clear exhaustion.]
Because you wanted to trade. I told you. I think it's interesting. What other reason were you expecting?
[Seimei glances over to the cat, who is none-too-pleased about being put upon for any of this. The onmyouji, however, is amused.]
We'll accept tea! Give me some of your favorite and we'll drink it in your honor.

That just hardly seems like a good enough reason for you to exhaust yourself. At very least there must be others with something more interesting than what I have provided. Wouldn't you rather wear yourself out on them?
I can bring a selection of my favourites and you can try as many as you'd like. Would that work?
