[Voice] May I have your attention please?

Hello, darlings! My name is Ursula and it's a pleasure to introduce myself to all of you. I've been quiet, I know, but you simply must know how difficult it is to get settled here. Accommodations aside, it's just so unsettling to adjust in a new environment.

But! Let us not get all tangled up in the details, mmm? [low chuckle] No, I'm here to talk about the tricky matter of business.

I don't expect any of you to know this, but I've quite the hand at magic. And, though I fully admit to a little misconduct in the past, I'm more than happy to help the poor, innocent, suffering and unfortunate souls like yourselves. Yes, yes, magic doesn't make the world go 'round, but it's more reliable than you think!

Everyone has secret wishes, pets, make no mistake about that. Things you looong for that you simply can't ask for, to say nothing of actually possessing! And if you did try to get your heart's desire, what happens then? [a slight growl enters her voice] Judgement.

If you find yourself in need of what you can't get for yourself, seek me out. Follow the river down from the Niflheim gate to the ocean beyond. There, you will see a single torch in the shore. Light it and wait. I'll be there.

[and back to the musical lilt] Let's make a deal, my friends.

Needs, wants...

what is it about humans that makes them think they always have to have something? They never know what they really need.

What kind of magic do you practice?

[Voice]

[ladycecaelia.livejournal.com]

Don't be silly, it's not just humans who want things. Everyone wants something, tangible or otherwise. It's just a matter of degree.

As for my brand of magic, I work the primo stuff, handsome. Useful, elegant and, most important, powerful.

I guess they're just the best at putting others aside to get what they want, aren't they?

Not too powerful, I hope. They say it corrupts. What do you say to that?

[keyofthesky]

Ursula!?

[Voice]

[ladycecaelia.livejournal.com]

You'd be surprised at how far greed stretches over worlds.

I say corruption is a state of mind.

[Voice]

[ladycecaelia.livejournal.com]

...what'dya know, the gang's all here.

[Voice]

[keyofthesky]

What are you up to this time?

[Voice]

[ladycecaelia.livejournal.com]

Up to!? Sweetie, I'm hurt. You know, not everyone is as lucky as you, with the heroic destiny and power of friendship and the hair. Some of us like to get a little help achieving our dreams.

I'm simply giving Paixao an option.

How much...can you do?

[Voice, locked]

[ladycecaelia.livejournal.com]

The better question, love, is what can't I do?

...my goodness, you look awfully familiar.

[Voice]

[keyofthesky]

Yeah, well, I think they should find a more trustworthy option.

[Voice]

[ladycecaelia.livejournal.com]

Trust has no place in business, kid. I see a need, I fill a need, simple as that.

You have no more right to tell them what choices to make than I do, so...don't you have a door to unlock or something? Shoo!

[Voice, locked]

[oath-ofoblivion.livejournal.com]

I...do? I've never met you before...

[Voice, locked]

[ladycecaelia.livejournal.com]

I suppose you just have one of those faces. [dark chuckle]

Now, darling, what can Ursula do for you?

[ voice ]

[xroyal_bratx]

How strong a magician are ya?
Like Illsaide strong... or Duzell strong?

[curious princess is curious... don't mind her listing off names of people she knew]

[Voice, locked]

[oath-ofoblivion.livejournal.com]

I...don't think I should say it here.

[Voice, locked]

[ladycecaelia.livejournal.com]

Oh, quite right, how smart! Well, light the torch, son. We'll do lunch.

[ Voice ]

[ladycecaelia.livejournal.com]

Well, I don't mean to brag, but I am the most powerful witch of the seas.

[Voice, locked]

[oath-ofoblivion.livejournal.com]

[weakly, completely lacking in any sort of confidence] ...Yeah...

[ Voice ]

[xroyal_bratx]

So you can probably kill things in one shot right?
The seas?

[divine_storm]

Can you get us out of here then?

[Voice]

[mastertemplate.livejournal.com]

I'm even more surprised by the holier-than-thou sentiments.

It's only as bad as you think it is?

[Voice]

[ladycecaelia.livejournal.com]

Yes, well, whatever helps them sleep at night.

Exactly. How nice to see someone else here who sees the big picture.

[ Voice ]

[ladycecaelia.livejournal.com]

I could, but I find death does little in the way of accomplishing my goals.

[ Voice ]

[ladycecaelia.livejournal.com]

Nothing is for free, darling, and that particular deal has a price you can't afford.
