[Dear residents of Cair Paradisa, your castle is looking decidedly green today, and not with envy. There is green goop on the carpets, covering the doorknobs, and perhaps even in your once-spotless rooms! (The intruder was just looking for a shower, okay?) But never fear, because if you'd like to have an angry word with him about the mess he's making everywhere, he's pretty easy to hunt down. Just follow the trail of green.

For those of you lucky enough to notice a man in a beat up jacket and a scowl on his face stalking down the halls, it might be best to steer clear of him. Because if there's one thing Rictor is good at, it's venting his frustration out on poor faultless passerbys.

And he is very, very frustrated right now.]

[Ohhhhhhhh, he doesn't like the sound of that. His eyes narrow, and he tilts his head to the left in wariness.]

Lucky me, why?

[ino]

First of all, have you noticed anything missing from your person? Or maybe something that seems off? Special powers not working properly?

[likebreathing]

[Scowl.]

Haven't had my powers for a long time now. And I don't feel anything missing. Why?

[ino]

Well, when you come here, you have to pay a "toll" of sorts. It's not money, though, it's usually something like a memory or a skill.

[.....]

How the hell does that work?

[ino]

[she shrugs]

It's just what happens. Most people believe the whole thing operates by magic, but it's up to you what you want to believe.

[likebreathing]

[He'd rather not believe any of it, but that doesn't appear to be an option.]

What'd you lose?

[Sorry for the personal question, but he's trying to gauge.]

[ino]

[she pauses]

Memories of a person that was important to me.

[Rictor winces a bit in sympathy.]

And how'd you find out?

['Cause he would really like to know what he lost]
