Lord's Rest Inn

Quote from WendigoOfLore >>

Quote from Baalzeboop >>

 At "Zero!", the man disperses into black smog, each snakelike cloud complete with golden eyes. A thin, almost skeletal figure stands still facing the tree, dressed in the pig mask, the whole thing more of a hat rack than an actual person. The one under the chair is found almost immediately. It takes a while before the one in the tree is found. The two are dragged out of their hiding places and brought back to the skeletal mask bearer, who doesn't turn around or otherwise notice them. After several more minutes, the snake clouds return to the man, sinking into his body and becoming black tissue and fabric once more. "All right, I give up! You win!"

 The giggle happily and appear from their places. The crocodile smirks and tilts their head "Usually their giggling gives em away."

 "Senses are complicated. Hard to make. Even harder to make them look pretty." He grins. "This mask may not be pretty, but it's prettier than anything I can make out of smoke. Anyway, it's hide and seek, not hide and listen." He puts his hands back in his pockets. "Anyway, two out of three isn't bad."

 They tilt their head and pat the rocking chair next to them "You seem like you ain't from round here, take a sit and let me here your story."

 Pigmask sits. "Well, I should tell you my name first. Edward Eigengrau, sometimes called Egregore. I'm a smoke monster. That's about all I know about my lineage. My parents were farmers, and they love me very much. So does my boyfriend. He's a big, ugly archfey. Real sweet guy. Doesn't mind me being a cloud of smoke with holes for a face. I guess I don't have much of a story, really. I've always been more focused on other folks' stories. I'm kind of a... no-face. I don't have all that much ambition, but I love people. I love making them happy. They don't love me back all that often."

He giggles, grinning. "They hurt me. I forgive them every day. It's a virtuous cycle."

 "Hm, a noble life." They said, rocking back and forth, a bone pipe forming in their clawed hand "Though I am a betting monster and I am betting there is a bit more to you than just a no-face as you say." They said, smiling.

"I'm sure there is. It's hard to look at yourself without someone to hold the mirror though. I'm kinda scared to ask most people though. I don't want to hear how ugly I am, inside and out, from all my loved ones." 

*I gotta go very soon, but this was fun!*
