~4th wall~ [Video/Action]

[wandthief]

[At the front door of house number 1118 in Dissimulo, Gellert is leaning against the frame and watching the street and any people wandering by. He also checks his communicator with interest, noticing many new faces. He muses aloud to himself but can certainly be overheard.]

Something interesting is certainly going on....

[Finnick strolls over to him casually.]

Can't say I've ever seen it before. Care to fill me in?

[Action]

[wandthief]

This town is called Dissimulo. The world is called Fortuna.

You may be attacked by monsters if you wander outside for too long.

[Despite his warning words he looks relaxed and continues to seem lightly amused.]

[Action]

[sugarcube_distractions]

[Finnick just raises an eyebrow at him.]

Right. At any time?

[Action]

[wandthief]

Yes, indeed. Although perhaps they have been temporarily frightened by the sudden appearance of so many new arrivals.

[Gellert performs a sweepingly elegant bow.]

I am Gellert Grindelwald. Who are you?

[Action]

[sugarcube_distractions]

[Finnick just chuckles.]

Finnick Odair.

[Action]

[wandthief]

Lovely to meet you.

You don't seem very worried to find yourself in a strange place, Herr Odair.

[Action]

[sugarcube_distractions]

[Finnick shrugs.] Just another place to die it seems. With the monsters and all.

[Action]

[wandthief]

You speak as if you know death well.

[Action]

[sugarcube_distractions]

Since I was 14.

[Action]

[wandthief]

Are you a wizard?

[Action]

[sugarcube_distractions]

A what? No, I'm a Victor.

[Action]

[wandthief]

A Victor?

[Action]

[sugarcube_distractions]

I was the boy that lived. Don't really feel like talking about it though.

[Action]

[wandthief]

You survived something? Then perhaps you would not be so out of place here.

[Action]

[sugarcube_distractions]

[Just laughs.]

So, what's a wizard?

[Action]

[wandthief]

I am. Even though this place has seen fit to steal my powers.

I can usually do all kinds of magic.

[Action]

[sugarcube_distractions]

What's magic?

[Action]

[wandthief]

[He pauses at that.]

I thought even muggles knew what magic was, even if they didn't believe in it.

[Action]

[sugarcube_distractions]

[laughs] You are very odd to me.

[Action]

[wandthief]

It is odd to think of a world without any magic at all.

Re: [Action]

[sugarcube_distractions]

I know things can be called magical. But ino one does or uses magic.

[Action]

[wandthief]

I would show you but this world has stolen my magic.

[Action]

[sugarcube_distractions]

Bad luck. (So doesn't believe you , but you could be useful to him so no insults yet.) So do those monsters go into houses?

[Action]

[wandthief]

The furniture once began attacking everybody...

So anything anywhere could be a monster.

[Gellert eyes him as if to say: even you could be.]

[Action]

[sugarcube_distractions]

(Finnick spots that and smirks.) If I was going to attack I wouldn't have wasted my time talking to you. Trust me on that.
