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

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]

Some kind of enchanted item, then. I see.

Does he act often?

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

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

...Do you know why he does this?

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.

[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]

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.]

[look at this extremely curious expression, adrien

she's waiting!!]

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]

Your powers?

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

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.

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?

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.
