[Nexus] Mithar Keep II: Electric Boobaloo

[Shadowcaller]

[Inside]

Stupid bound!

Cessie sigh, even if it was embarrassing Harnel was still her husband and she had vowed to be with him for her entire life. She couldn't just keep secrets like this. "Nothing special dear, just an silly prank really. I'm just going to make sure Sakurand I turn back to normal at my lab. There is nothing to worry about." She promises in a gentle voice.

[Gullara]

[Inside]

"Top secret. Girls only." Sakura positions herself about where she thinks behind Cessie is and tries to push her friend along. Delaying will cause nothing but trouble. *nodnod*

[Morty]

[Baby Room]

"I mostly meant that me, my siblings and all the other children in the village were raised as serfs," Wenomir explains. "It was a completely different environment."

[Halae]

[Inside]

And that just worries Harnel more.

"Cessie, I'm concerned. What happened? Could I please see you? You wouldn't be doing this if it wasn't bad or really embarrassing, and you're making me worry that it's the former."

[Shadowcaller]

[At the Cliffs]

Henry seems content to just follow it higher and higher. That is unil his mother speaks up. "Henry." She says in a warning tone. The little boy turns around quickly and looks ashamed. he quickly returns to his brother's side.

"I wanna see more." Lyle says, speaking up for the first time.

[Baby Room]

Another awkward moment. "Serfdom, I'm aware of the concept. A truly unjust practice. Not much better than slavery is it?" Cessie asks, Wenomir would be the expert after all.

[Inside]

Sakura is pushed on by her friend but suddenly stops as it feels she at least need to explain things to Harnel. "It's a really embarrassing transformation Harnel and you know how I feel about those." She explains briefly.

[At the Cliffs]

"So what do you want to see?" Cessie asks gently as the light Henry chased suddenly disappears, returning to whence it came.

[Halae]

[Baby Room]

Harnel nods, "I've met a few. That must be a difficult life."

[Gullara]

[Inside]

"Just look at me. Of course it's embarrassing. She just needs to reverse it and we'll both be just fine." Sakura assures him. "Now shoo. Who said I wanted you to see me like this either? Next thing I know, Adir will hear all about it."

[At the Cliffs]

Lyle bits his lip, looking very shy again at being directly questioned. "I dunno." He says quietly.

"More lights!" Henry says enthusiastically.

Apparently reassured, Sarah lands in front of Bastion and smiles up at him. "Aren't you a smiley little guy." She babytalks.

[Halae]

[Inside]

Harnel frowns, but complies, "Just see me when you're done so I know you're alright."

and picks up his plate and steps into his study, "Also, Sakura, to be perfectly honest, the fruit looks good on you."

[Shadowcaller]

[Inside]

The sorceress shakes her head at Harnel's compliment, it was not like Sakura was considering keeping it so she wasn't sure where that was even coming from.

Cessie refrains from commenting however and heads straight for the laboratory, she had actually worked on something which possibly could reverse transformations without the use of the fey apples. They were used far too many anyway. "Yes, I'll see you when it's done."

[Gullara]

[Inside]

Sakura giggles and rolls her eyes. "Thanks Harnel." She gives Cessie a little push to get her moving toward the lab. "Ah, those men. Always worrying." She says jokingly.

[Shadowcaller]

[Inside==>Cessie's Lab]

"I don't think that's an attribute you only can ascribe to men Sakura." Cessie says with a smile before unlocking the door to the lab.

Now to find a cure, "Right, the transformation is not eldritch in nature which means neveth could be used to dispel the effect. But considering you're a fey it would be extra harmful for you and wouldn't exactly be safe for me either. I could use a distilled version but I doubt that have an effect either..." She talks to herself as she starts to look around the lab.

"Guess I could attempt to try this diluted bread I baked with fey juice as the key ingredient. I haven't tried it yet but basically the idea is that it should grant me the energy a short while without the physical transformations." She states while taking a bit of bread carefully wrapped in silk. "This have been baked with fey juice mixed into it so hopefully it should have the intended effect." She unwraps the loaf and takes a bite from it to see what happens.

[Gullara]

[Cessie's Lab]

Sakura finds a surface to lean on and props her chin in her hands. She chuckles at Cessie when she stops talking for a moment. "You sure know a lot about this stuff." She observes. Not that isn't something she already knew, but it strikes her from time to time.

[Morty]

[Baby Room]

"Not much better, no." Wenomir shakes his head. "But it's hardly a topic for this place, is it? It's been great to meet your twins, but now I'd better be going. See you both soon," he says and, unless stopped, he'll leave...

[Front Door]

...and, conveniently enough, appear a couple days later to work on the axe. It should be noted that the demon taint is now gone, and his appearance has changed accordingly.

[Halae]

[Baby Room]

Harnel won't stop Wenomir from leaving...

[Front Gate]

... but much like last time, Wenomir can hear Harnel working at his forge. He would have been told before he left last time that if Harnel was in the forge, he could come right in.

[Shadowcaller]

[Cessie's Lab]

Cessie who now have dispelled her invisibility don't seem to change at all after having eaten the bread. She turns to the dryad, "Do you notice any difference in my appearance beyond my recent transformation?" She asks after a quick look at herself.

[Gullara]

[Cessie's Lab]

Sakura shakes her head. "Nothing I can see. I guess it just never worked then?"

[Morty]

[Forge]

"Hey there, Harnel," Wenomir says as he enters the forge.

[Halae]

[Forge]

Harnel looks up from the metal he's smelting, and grins, "Hey there Wenomir. I got everything ready for us. But... are you feeling alright? you look different."

[Shadowcaller]

[Cessie's Lab]

"I'm not 100 % sure yet, but let's find out." Cessie replies as she appears to focus on the dryad. "I'm going to attempt to change you back now so hold on."

[Morty]

[Forge]

"Oh, I'm feeling more than alright," Wenomir says with a grin. Such a wide smile looks strange on his face... or not given the fact that now his eyes are also smiling. "I got rid of the demon blood. I'm a normal human now, just like I was when I was born."

[Halae]

[Cessie's Lab]

The magic Cessie uses will put Sakura how Cessie wants her to look; in this case, back to being just a normal cherry blossom fey.

[Forge]

"That can't have been easy to do. Are you feeling odd at all, now that you're back to normal?"

[Morty]

[Forge]

Wenomir shrugs and shakes his head.
"Yes and now. I know I used to feel differently... but I can't remember how it felt. It feels a little like having a red haze lifted from my eyes, but I don't think I can explain it."

[Gullara]

[Cessie's Lab]

Sakura looks down at herself after the spell is cast. She grins at Cessie. "Great, it worked. Now do yourself." It feels good to be back to normal.

[Shadowcaller]

[Cessie's Lab]

Technically it's not a spell, but Cessie isn't going to attempt to argue with Sakura's player as well.

After a moment of focusing however Cessie have turned back to herself and breathes out in relief. "That was just sick, that woman at the restaurant was an really disturbed individual. At least we put a stop to her schemes."

[Gullara]

[Cessie's Lab]

Sakura chuckles. "At least you put a stop to her, you mean. I'm pretty sure I didn't do anything."

[Zefir]

[On the way to the house]

Mia is walking straith through the house. Behind her is her loyal robot MDM and next to her should be another person named Kari.

"So how's your gandmother doing."

That question shoul have come earlier, but better now then never.

[Shadowcaller]

[Cessie's Lab]

"You contacted remnant and spoke to the officers, that's more than I did." Cessie replies with a faint smile. "Can you imagine though how Harnel would have reacted if he had seen me like that?" The mage laughs a little.

[Gullara]

[Cessie's Lab]

"I sure hope he'd be worried more than anything." Sakura says, none too seriously. "Or maybe he'd think you looked good enough to compliment, like me." She giggles. Personally, she was pretty sure she looked ridiculous.

[Shadowcaller]

[Cessie's Lab]

The sorceress shakes her head, "Apparently he traveled with a mage that was focused on transformations and had an odd sense of humor a while. He claims that made him used to transformations." She thinks it's rather silly really.

[Gullara]

[Cessie's Lab]

"I have no idea how someone could possibly get used to that. I'm pretty sure I'd go crazy first." Sounds to Sakura that she probably wouldn't enjoy this person's company, unless she could practice some restraint.
