Summary: Envy and Grindelwald run into each and plotting commences.


IC!Grindelwald: *passing by the River Styx on what used to be Main Street after his encounter with that little alchemist brat earlier in the afternoon, contemplating his newly gained information about homunculi and wondering where he could get someone to make him one or, baring that, how he could make one himself*

IC!Envy: *comes barging out from a side street, in his habitual form again, utterly humiliated; not only did those, those humans see his real form, but one of them actually had the gall to kill him; punches a passing soldier into a wall carelessly, glowering at world, thinking he needs to find his double and convince him to help exterminate ALL the humans, immediately*

IC!Grindelwald: *ohoho, so this one seems interesting; carefully steps over the form of the fallen soldier, clutching his wand in his pocket and trailing after Envy with much the same air as a predator stalking its prey; if he's going to have anyone on his side for world domination, the angry one with the spikey head would be a good choice*

IC!Envy: *as if he wouldn't notice a loud-breathing, heavy-footed human trying pathetically to follow him, especially when he's hyper-alert and pissed off; tolerates it for a while, winding his way out of the more populated streets to somewhere a little quieter before wheeling around with a downright dangerous smile*

IC!Grindelwald: *isn't stupid, at least not on the being lead to a more secluded area, and is actually more pleased about this than anything else; smiles broadly when Envy turns to face him, wand out of his pocket now and at his side; from his stint as a homunculus, he at least knows what Envy is* Good evening, my friend~ I actually have a proposition for you, if you'd care to lend me an ear.

IC!Envy: *oh look, the human is pointing a stick at him... how scary; snarls at him, taking two very swift steps forward* I'm not your friend, human~. I'm very, very far from being anything like your friend.

IC!Grindelwald: *gives his wand a quick wave, blasting a small hole in the ground at Envy's feet as he approaches, eyebrows raised* You may want to rethink that little thought.

IC!Envy: *is briefly startled, but regains his composure quickly, looking at the man with slightly, SLIGHTLY heightened respect* Ooh? What trick is that? Some new kind of alchemy, is it? *narrows his eyes* What's your name?

IC!Grindelwald: It's magic, not alchemy. *oh silly, silly genetic experiment, not knowing what magic is. ha! bows with a sweeping florish, smiling pleasantly* I am Gellert Grindelwald, wizard. And whom do I have the pleasure of speaking with?

IC!Envy: *rests a hand on his hip, tilting his head to the side and thinking that this human is rather... flamboyant, but also liking his daring, or coming as close as he can considering it's a filthy human* A wizard? *actually remembering something about that, thanks to his recent foray into humanity and the suspicions of his living days* I didn't know they were real. ....Envy *mimics his flourishing bow with freakish exactitude*

IC!Grindelwald: We are indeed. My entire world is filled with them. Schools and everything. *lazily picks a strand of stray golden hair from his robes, contemplating the name* Envy... That's a rather odd name, isn't it? One of the seven deadly sins?

IC!Envy: *with his usual, aggressive smile, jutting his hip to the side a little and wondering if it will be more entertaining to just kill the worm or play with him a little first* Yes, yes, very good. *sarcastically* You are a quick learner. You must not have met any of us, before, or you wouldn't be surprised. *jumps into the air suddenly, twisting around and landing right behind Grindelwald, just to fuck with him* Aren't you scared~? *sweet voice*

IC!Grindelwald: *whips around, following him with his wand before letting out a low, amused laugh* Scared of you? Oh my dearest, if I so choose, I could make you drown yourself, I could bring you insurmountable pain, kill you right on the spot... If you'd like, I could even give you a demonstration. *doesn't wait for an answer and sending the curse at Envy* Crucio~!

IC!Envy: *crumples under the spell at first, letting out a yell which quickly breaks into insane laughter, his hands curling into fists as he pushes himself to his feet even as his muscles are twisting in agony; manages to stand up, still laughing, howling with laughter*

IC!Grindelwald: *rather impressed, but not willing to show it, letting the wand point drop away from Envy in order to give him a little golf clap mockingly* Bravo, my dear. Bravo.

IC!Envy: *stretches his arms above his head, twisting his neck from side to side and cracking it, his grin back, even wider than before; lets out a sigh as though he's just had a sauna treatment* That was invigorating. *lashes out at once, dropping to the ground in an instant and swinging his ankle around, attempting to sweep Grindelwald off his feet*

IC!Grindelwald: *goes down, not having expected that, quickly giving his wand a twirl and casting a charm to slow his fall, landing with minimal injury and aiming his wand at Envy* LEVICORPUS!

IC!Envy: *is hauled into the air by his ankle and actually giggles, not an evil cackle, but a genuine, delighted giggle; stifles it quickly, though his shoulders still shake with mirth* You are by far the most interesting human I have ever met *not even sarcastic, but certainly nowhere near afraid, either*

IC!Grindelwald: *smirks, flicking his wand again to let him down* And you are by far the most interesting of your kind that I have met. Speaking of, since those I recruited no longer wish to help me, I have proposition for you, should you be interested..?

IC!Envy: *lands lightly on his feet despite the sudden drop and short distance, is like a cat that way; springs to his feet and is even willing to listen* Oh, you know nothing about my kind, that's clear enough from your threats. *hands on his hips* I'm listening.

IC!Grindelwald: Are they really that transparent? *smiles, rather amused* I am still learning. *sighs softly, fidgeting with the sleeve hem of his robe* Oh, where to begin... You see, where I come from, we have many non-magical folk. And they are -- oh, how to put this politely -- rather... dimwitted, I suppose would be a good word. They've gone so far as to drive my kind, the wizards and the witches, into hiding, when we are clearly superior.

IC!Envy: *back to the sweet, high voice* Well, you did threaten to kill me. Humans always do, at first. Then they learn. *rather bloody look; then listens, nodding as Grindelwald talks* Hmm ... sounds quite familiar. The humans in this dimension are very... dim.

IC!Grindelwald: You looked fit to kill me not too long ago yourself. *smirks* Ah, then I'm sure you'll see my point, won't you? I do not want so much world domination as... control over the lesser half. For the greater good, I'm sure you'd understand. Under the wizard's protection, they would be so much happier and all they would have to do is realize that they are the inferior species.

IC!Envy: *starting to walk in circles around Grindelwald, an arrogant expression on his face, smirking* Oh, you wizards are immortal, are you? *is sure that they aren't, or at least that this one is not* Who is to say that you are not inferior to my species, hmm?

IC!Grindelwald: We are not immortal, but we have means of gaining it. *stays standing where he is, not overtly worried at this point about imminent death; it may just be long and drawn out, which would still give him a chance to escape* And who's to say we wizards aren't?

IC!Envy: *is surprised by his own desire to prove the worth of homunculi to Grindelwald, or maybe he's just bored or reckless, but he leans in and whispers* You want to see why? Then kill me. *goading voice, barely audible*

IC!Grindelwald: Alright, then. *ready for just about anything at this point, aiming his wand at Envy and murmuring with a slight smirk* Avada Kedavra!

IC!Envy: *falls back onto the sidewalk, stone dead for around twenty seconds, until he gasps, life returning to his eyes and a laugh instantly upon his lips as he flips to his feet, completely unharmed*

IC!Envy: My, my. I didn't even feel that. What a bizarre way to kill. *fascinated*

IC!Grindelwald: Well, now, I'm certainly impressed. I don't know much about your kind, but I take it that immortality is a trait. *moves closer to get a better look at Envy, though does keep a polite distance*

IC!Envy: *practically posing now, completely unbashful under the scrutiny* We are immortal, yes. *holds out his forearm in demonstration and then rakes the fingernails of the other hand across it, flaying it open and watching it bleed briefly before the flesh knits itself, not even wincing, disinterested*

IC!Grindelwald: *watching with open interest on his face* I've never really seen anything like this from where I'm from, hmm...

IC!Envy: *makes a small noise of pleasure, quite likes this attention thank you very much; tilting his chin up* Oh, you haven't seen anything~

IC!Grindelwald: Really now? *smiles slowly* Care to demonstrate~?

IC!Envy: *is really quite foolish and easily tempted into revealing his powers, because the admiration is just too irresistible; shifts shapes to look exactly like Grindelwald, down to the last button, and then speaks in his voice* Oh, we have all kinds of tricks. *evil grin*

IC!Grindelwald: *is very impressed by all of this, but plays it up, trying to feed the other's ego as much as he can, "ooh"ing and "ah"ing* Can you all do that or..?

IC!Envy: *keeping Grindelwald's shape, finding it rather amusing* We all have different powers, of course.

IC!Grindelwald: Of course. What sorts of powers do the others of your kind have?

IC!Grindelwald: *speaking demurely now, offering another bow* Well... You are clearly superior to my kind, aren't you? I do suppose you wouldn't be willing to help me out with my campaign...

IC!Envy: *eats up the flattery like a cat who got the cream* Well... I don't see why not. It does get rather dull, you see, being immortal. *isn't that the truth*

IC!Grindelwald: *smiles faintly, humbly* Oh, thank you, my friend, my lord... You are too kind, but... Would you perhaps know of others of your kind, that would be willing to help, perhaps..?

IC!Envy: *narrows his eyes at the 'my lord', thinking that Grindelwald is laying it on a little thick for someone who was so arrogant moments ago; liked him better when he had some fight in him* I might.

IC!Grindelwald: You might? *this does not please the mighty Grindelwald, nope*

IC!Envy: *flicking some blond hair from his shoulder, haughtily* My kind are notoriously hard to track. There are usually a few of us around, but I can't be sure.

IC!Grindelwald: Well you'll just have to try very hard to find them, won't you? *smiles sweetly*

IC!Envy: *narrowing his eyes a fraction* I don't have to do anything. It's one of the prerogatives. Besides... *smirking* Do you really need more than one? The two of us ought to be sufficient.

IC!Grindelwald: Perhaps... But why shouldn't I have more of you to help with this little project? Wouldn't our message get spread faster with more than two?

IC!Envy: Hmm, if you'd like *shifting back into his usual form* I could introduce you to Gluttony, at least. But I should warn you, I don't always play well with others~

IC!Grindelwald: ...You do not need to introduce me to Gluttony. We've already met. *wrinkles his nose* Is that so? Perhaps... For now, perhaps, it will be best with just the two of us.

IC!Envy: *smirks, his goal accomplished; well isn't this an entertaining little development* Indeed~

IC!Grindelwald: Well, then. Now that we have a deal, I suppose I shall be off~ When can I meet you again to discuss plans?

IC!Envy: *shrugs lazily, examining his perfect nails* Why not a week from now, in the park? *thinks that he might introduce him to Wrath...... if he feels like it*

IC!Grindelwald: That sounds delightful. If you need me, I'll be staying here. *waves his wand, fiery writing with an address appearing in the air* Memorize it. And don't be surprised if someone else answers the door.

IC!Envy: *blinks, isn't really sure what that means but memorizes the address easily enough anyway- after a few hundred years you get to know your way around a little*

IC!Grindelwald: I shall see you in a week, then? *smirks, taking a couple of steps back*

IC!Envy: *waves him away lazily, his thoughts already turning back to what had occupied him before; finding that bitch who killed him*

IC!Grindelwald: *bows again before twirling, disapparating with a loud crack*
