[monsieurchatastrophe]

Yes. He takes people's negative feelings-- their anger, their sadness-- and warps them so that they do his bidding. He's awful.

[and, also, totally his dad. not that he knows he is too busy being >:/ over papillon]

[bloodbiter]

How does he do that? Is it some form of magic, or something like what Alice did to us with the paranoia?

[monsieurchatastrophe]

It's magic. I don't know what Alice did exactly, but with Papillon there's always an item where his powers nestle themselves. You break the item and you break his hold on that person. It's... a lot easier.

[~messing with brainwaves~ is kind of a harder mess to deal with]

[bloodbiter]

Some kind of enchanted item, then. I see.

Does he act often?

[monsieurchatastrophe]

It's a different one for each person, but yes. He acts... every couple of days, at least? Sometimes more, sometimes less.

[bloodbiter]

And the emotions he targets, is that different as well?

...Do you know why he does this?

[monsieurchatastrophe]

It's... mostly anger, I think. [hard to tell when he's usually on the receiving end of that initial feeling. at her second question, though, he rubs at his ring with a grim look] There's... some power he wants. He uses those people to get to it.

[bloodbiter]

[glances at the ring after he rubs at it because that was the opposite of subtle adrien]

...Does it have something to do with your jewelry? [or does he just have a nervous tic]

[monsieurchatastrophe]

No! [that. that was probably too quick and obvious. he moves his hand to rub the back of his head] Um, but it does have to do with me.

[he's hoping a half-truth will make it subtler but honey. no. ur not subtle.]

[bloodbiter]

[look at this extremely curious expression, adrien

she's waiting!!]

[monsieurchatastrophe]

It's... my powers he's after. Mine and someone else's. I don't know why or what he plans to do with it, but he's made it pretty clear that he won't stop until he has it unless we stop him ourselves.

[he's trying to be vague and being p r e t t y bad at it]

[bloodbiter]

Your powers?

[this is what you get for befriending a chronically curious person]

[monsieurchatastrophe]

It's on my profile, actually. It's... the power of destruction. [he looks at his palm and shrugs] It's like-- concentrated bad luck.

[bloodbiter]

I see. I know there are certain skills I have that aren't listed in my own profile, so I was curious. Although... Why would someone want that kind of power?

[monsieurchatastrophe]

I don't know. My Lady-- [SCREAMS MENTALLY no bad reflex BAD] um, that is, my partner-- Marinette-- [okay now he's fumbling] She's got the other power he wants. It's creation. He hasn't exactly said why he wants them.

[bloodbiter]

[2late, you have made a fatal mistake and she's zeroing in on 'my lady']

How sweet.

[everything other than creepy butterfly man]

[monsieurchatastrophe]

I mean, she's Ladybug and she's my partner, so she's... [///////] It's just a nickname.

[that he uses to flirt with her]

[bloodbiter]

It seems a rather familiar name.

[just kiss already]

[monsieurchatastrophe]

Well, yeah, we're pretty... familiar.

[he's trying ok he is TRYING]

[bloodbiter]

In what way?

[monsieurchatastrophe]

We're partners and friends and she's-- [amazing wOW] Why are we talking about this?

[bloodbiter]

Is there a reason we shouldn't be?

[get with it adrien]

[monsieurchatastrophe]

There's no reason we should be?

[didn't this start with talking about dragons why is this now!! about his romantic struggles!!]

[bloodbiter]

I disagree.

[come on bro]

What is amiss?

[monsieurchatastrophe]

What? Nothing's amiss. I just don't want to talk about that?

[believable]
