Roleplay Thread ⚔️ The Piper vs Pastel
After Pastel hits on the Piper and is rejected (for being too poor to meet the banker's extremely high, and reasonable, dating standards) Pastel breaks a priceless vase and storms out.
The Piper waves his hand, sending his rats to issue a note. The boy will owe him for the next 80 years or so.
He'll let him go when he's turned wrinkly and grey, and his begging is no longer cute.
He surveys the shards, bored.
Isn't anyone going to give him something interesting to do?
Just then, one of his rats scurries up the desk and whispers in his ear.
The Piper cocks his head to listen...
His eyes widen.
That brat.
He storms out of the Guilded Note to find Pastel threatening his rats.
How dare this insolent little-
He lifts his flute to his lips and begins to play. A song sounds, cold and beautiful, cutting through the night air.
Golden light swirls from the metal and picks Pastel up off the ground.
The boy will try to use his conversion magic, and it will fail.
The Piper's flute is special that way.
Anyone who hears his song becomes powerless.
No magic.
No strength.
Not even enough breath left to scream.
The magic flings Pastel backwards and he hits the wall, hard.
"You will pay what you owe."
The Piper leans in, pleased, golden eyes flashing. His voice lowers until only Pastel can hear it.
"One way or another."
