[action] The Frozen Depths of Hell!

[evildoorstop]

[Murray has found himself outside a lot lately, in the cold and the snow, but now it's time to take advantage of it. He is currently sitting on top of the fountain, soaked and icy. He has some little icicles forming in his eye sockets and at the back of his skull. Despite his icy situation, he seems diabolically cheery, calling out to random people passing by.]

Beware my frozen sockets of doom! This land will be smothered in the winters of death! Beware! Turn back! Turn back! Before the frozen depths of hell envelop you! [And other such threatening comments.]

But what is it?

[spiritbruising]

Do you really want to know?

[dramatic effect must be upheld!]

[evildoorstop]

[It wouldn't be a true story without dramatic effect!]

Tell me!

[spiritbruising]

Any time it meets a monster, it challenges them to a game. Either fighting, or other games, it doesn't matter. Of course most of the monsters accept because it doesn't look all that big or dangerous. But it has never lost a match, ever. And when each match is done, it says. "Give me your name!"

But if they refuse...

[evildoorstop]

Giving your name isn't very frightening, but what horrible fate is met for those who refuse?

1/3

[spiritbruising]

Well, giving your name makes you its follower forever.

And if you don't give it...

2/3

[spiritbruising]

....The seas boil, and the world ends!

[this seems an appropriate threat for a pirate.]

[spiritbruising]

[And she leans in, with her most dangerous expression. Now comes the clincher to the story.]

So then.

Will you give me your name?

1/I'm not sure, he does go on at times

[evildoorstop]

Ha! I am Mur-

2/?

[evildoorstop]

Did you say follower? I follow no one!

3/?

[evildoorstop]

A boiling sea? That's great! Malevolent! Hellish! Diabolical!

4/4

[evildoorstop]

Wait, you're the monster? But you're not scary at all!

[spiritbruising]

[well, half of the reaction she wanted...]

You don't think?

[evildoorstop]

But you just look like any other human.

[spiritbruising]

That's what they think too. And then I beat them.

[evildoorstop]

How? [Mixture of puzzlement and excitement]

[spiritbruising]

Because I'm strong. [grin. seems she's not going to answer more than that.]

[evildoorstop]

You're still not very scary. [Grudgingly said]

[spiritbruising]

Too bad. I was really hoping to get your name.

[evildoorstop]

But I am no man, or woman's minion!
