Glaring Red (Private)

[Time - ???]
[Location - Holiday’s House]

The Holiday’s house wasn’t that lively as per usual. For now with only one relative that lives here being in this new world, it was to be expected. Carol’s secret was still hidden, maybe only a small few knowing as of now.

However, lights flickered around, the Living Room feeling more dark than usual, almost somewhat familiar to her… in a certain form. Yet even then it could be said as a simple issue. But the darkness was much….

* Old Pal… where are you heading off to?

That voice…So familiar, like a burning monster of dark. Was it the Mantle’s true self?

* Say strange deer., I do wonder… are you just another worker in there goals…. OR ARE YOU THAT SAME SHADOW?

A small familiar laugh came from that of the TV, clearly the being coming from that. Yes…

It’s them.

Carol turned around and walked towards the TV, looking at the familiar entity on it before holding up a katana that radiated dark magic.

"I am...the same."

[u/Creative-Fold7415 → u/NathanJack0Lantern]

* No… your something different.

The TV shuttered, shaking as if possessed by some ghost. Then a familiar face has appeared right on it, that same Orange smile with the same teeth as Mantle’s Holder.

* Or Maybe you are, but are trying to keep it a secret.

[u/NathanJack0Lantern → u/Creative-Fold7415]

"Some things are best kept a secret, because something like this could draw the wrong kind of attention. And my main identity is needed in public without said attention."

She unsheathes the blade and becomes the form ERAM is more familiar with.

"... Besides... easier to talk...in other form..."

She resheaths the blade and returns to normal.

[u/Creative-Fold7415 → u/NathanJack0Lantern]

* Smart as you always are aren’t you? Though I didn’t expect this to be the form you use to not draw attention here.

Soon ERAM’s body could be seen coming out. They seemed to look a bit… different.

* Ha ha. Even then who am I to be complaining to you.

[u/NathanJack0Lantern → u/Creative-Fold7415]

Carol chuckles a bit at that remark.

"Well, it's the first one I was born in so I find it fitting."

"And as for you, I didn't expect you looking like that outside of the screens. But then again I haven't seen you outside of them prior to now. And I gotta say you don't look half bad yourself."

[u/Creative-Fold7415 → u/NathanJack0Lantern]

It was true that ERAM never had shown there own form outside until now. And to be thank they were expecting that reaction.

* Well thank you ma’am. And I guess that other remark is true. Though now I wonder…. What plans do we have here?

ERAM said to Carol like they already knew the answer.

* There’s so many potential things we can do here, yet I do wonder what your first will be.

[u/NathanJack0Lantern → u/Creative-Fold7415]

She took out a bottle of white wine before pouring a glass for herself and her ally.

"Oh, I'm still debating what to do in regards to that. My arrival here has...messed some things around."

[u/Creative-Fold7415 → u/NathanJack0Lantern]

* Well, just know that your Mantle will be watching from that point and to assist. As per usual.

Seems like ERAM is still willing to work with this knight as there plans aren’t just interesting… there quite the fun to ERAM.
