    Tel'vree Manor

    Telly shivered in the cold air as she drew the series of Circles on the ground in the basement lab that Cessie normally used when she wasn't pregnant. Telly wish she could have put on some clothing to warm herself up, but Nega had informed her that she couldn't wear any clothing during it. The god hadn't mentioned if that had meant during the preparations or not, but Telly had to assume so, just in case, and that meant she was quite chilly at the moment.

    As she worked with the chalk, drawing the symbols needed around the various Focii, Cessie sat nearby in a chair they had moved down here to help ease her feet from having to stand around so much while this far along in term. "You don't have to do this." Cessie told her with a small smile, already knowing the answer as she got to her feet to head to the little circle Telly had made for her. Telly just smiles back and gives her an appreciative look before finishing and standing in the center.

    Off to her right were three objects representing her old life. A vial of her tainted blood, a pile of "Haze", and bottle of perfume. Telly had been a hard drug user before she had met Cessie, and even after all this time she could feel the physical pangs of withdrawal whenever she glanced at the numbing drug. The perfume had been a cheap one that the prostitutes in the slums had found to be popular, but it stung her sensitive nose and nearly made her wretch when she caught a whiff of it the first time. As for the blood...

    At this point, Telly couldn't consider herself human. She had changed so much over the years as Chaos overtook her body and soul, and finally after all this time, she was seeking help. Not for herself, but for her Cessie. Her love.

    "You know I have to." She says gently before finishing the circle around Cessie, the object that would portray the new life Telly wished to lead. Looking up from the center of the circle, she could feel a pair of presences watching over her. One of them, Slaanesh, felt closer than the other, but with a silent prayer to Nega, she spoke. "I am ready."

    For a brief moment, there's complete silence, but then Telly gasps as she feels power both flowing out and into her. Even though she was used to agony, this hurt deeper than mere physical pain. She could feel the Kami flooding into her, tearing out the taint of her soul to let it regrow anew and pure. She could feel the anger of Slaanesh striking at her, attempting to leave a permanent mark upon her even as Nega fought to gain control of Telly's soul. Before Cessie's eyes, the cultist begins to change.

    Her skin fades from lavender to a pale and sickly white, blotchy from exposure to acidic rains, and her hair loses it's lustrous shine as dull gray grows within it. Her tail and short horns both turn dull gray before fading away, leaving raw flesh behind to heal over when possible.

    All of this happens within just a couple moments, but in the end, Telly can only feel one entity left. With a breath of relief, she feels better when she learns that it's Nega who stayed and was victorious, but Telly collapses to her knees in exhaustion anyway. Cessie gets to her knees to hold the fragile woman in her arms, letting her lover weep into her dress.

    For the first time in a very long time, Telly felt mortal and it scared the daylights out of her.

    Cosiellio thinks for a moment, swaying in the air like he's laying in a hammock, despite still being upside down, "Slavery. And people wasting their lives away, not really doing anything. And..." He very obviously coughs, "People who are down on relationships. Those all get me angry."

    "I am who I am, and I don't expect anyone else to be me."

    She thinks for a bit. Nothing real yet... maybe something with wings? The wings shouldn't be the main part, though... "What comes easy to you? What is harder, taking more energy? What do you have trouble understanding?"

    "Healing, for one thing. I haven't actually done it yet, but I know reincarnation and resurrection would be pretty easy. Uh, protection. Making people comfortable is a big one." He scratches his chin. I'm also good for destroying things. The flashier, the better. And... Well, relationship related things are a bit... well yeah." A blush, if Kate cares to check. "I think transformations wouldn't be all that difficult either."

    "What comes hard though? Subjugation. I hate the idea of a person imposing their will on another.necromancy isn't something I think I'd be good at, or anything to do with lethargy."

    Kate starts working. "A shield implies protection, some wings for activity, an implication of a heart..."



    "There we go." She shows Cos the result. "The colors are just there to accent the two parts, presumably real holy symbols would be 3-dimensional and the color of whatever they were made out of."

    Cosiellio nods when he looks at it for a moment. An interesting shape, indicative of what he means, right? The sort of person he is.

    He holds out his hand, and in the same sort of coalescing light he made when he made Kate's new mattress and bedding, , instead the ball of light is much smaller this time, coalescing into the shape present on the screen. The wings are more defines, each feather having specific feathers along it, and on the shield, rivets are clear along the edge of it, as if it had been crafted specifically as a shield and then had the wings welded to it. But, of course, this is not the case, as it's too small to be such an object, and it's made entirely out of pure silver.

    As Cos touches it, it gives off a sound like a beautiful bell. "That... seems to be it exactly..."

    Pats...
    She rubs the edge of a scar behind her ear.
    That one hurt the inflictor more than the recipient, or so she had been told in their few meetings after that.
    Those had, unfortunately, always taken place on either side of a gun, as if to indicate that the scar, among others, was deserved.

    "Are you alright?"

    She nods tentatively.

    Can I talk about your mother?

    "Of course. Should we sit on the edge of the pool?" Andy says softly, debating offering some salve but guessing it's more of a nervous itch, than an actual one...

    She sits on the edge and sighs.
    I loved your mother.
    And of course she always was there with a hug for me, a kind word, a comforting arm around the shoulder.
    But...
    Well.
    Her and Matt... what else can I say? I wanted them to be happy, I told them how perfect they were together, I probably had a few too many at the reception, there was Bowie on the karaoke deck.
    And there we were about a year later. I'm pretty sure did something to deserve getting sliced upside the head... and, well, your mom obliged.
    After that, any conversations were on either side of plexiglass or Glocks.
    Or both if I had been really antsy lately.

    Andy's eyes go wide at Scainte's story, unable to understand how any version of her mother could ever get that angry...
    (or how she'd use such an inferior weapon as a Glock, but that's another story.)
    ...and so she just leans over and hugs the former Death Goddess just as tightly as she can.
    "That's terrible...I wish I'd been there, to do something, anything.."

    Scainte holds back, perhaps a bit too tightly, and nods a little.
    Andy may feel the warmth of her blush against her cheek as her wings shift a little.

    "Once you get a larger following, they'll probably go about manufacturing sigils themselves. Details should be less important than that it's recognizable and connected to you."
    She examines the holy symbol that Cosiellio made. That's very pretty. "I'm glad you're happy with my design."

    And instead just rubs Scainte's back, feeling heartbroken for her friend.

    Andy barely has time to eep in surprise, before she's kissed!
    ...and after a moment finds herself kissing back in instinct.
    She's quite good at it, too.

    Indeed she does. She doesn't want to push her, though.

    ...she does, however, let her hand drift out along one wing...
