[Nexus] Home 12: Home, Home and Deranged

[Flats]
She nods a little, blushing.
Yeah...
You're good at that.

[The Bushranger]

[Flats]

"It comes naturally," Andy says with a giggle.
She's not going to say she's had a lot of practice.

[Beans]

[Flats]
She smiles a little.
Um... so, w-want to just stay hear or, um...

[The Bushranger]

[Flats]

"I'd like to stay here. If you wouldn't mind?" Andy asks, hopefully.

[Beans]

[Flats]
She nestles against Andy and nods.
Okay...
Scainte lays her head against her shoulder.

[The Bushranger]

[Flats]

"And I'll stay for as long as you want..."
Andy whispers, holding her close.

[Beans]

[Flats]
After a while, she sits up. Evening is falling and it's getting a bit cool out.
Want to, um, maybe go inside and watch something?

[The Bushranger]

[Flats]

"Sure. Something scary, or something cool?" Andy asks, straightening. And stretching.

[Beans]

[Flats]

Whatever you want is fine...
She stands and will go inside with her to change.

[The Bushranger]

[Flats]

"Cool it is then."
Andy giggles, they go in to change, and she selects The Fifth Element to watch!

[Beans]

[Flats]
((Remember that HALO/Power Rangers thing I did? Well, Angela was going to be the Gold Ranger eventually, and the old Butts avatar is just getting boring... so I'm making a helmetless Gold Ranger Angela avy for the hecks.))
She pops into her room to change, wearing a hoodie over her tank top, and makes popcorn!

[The Bushranger]

[Flats]

((^_^))

Yay popcorn!
Andy settles on the couch, pauses the movie at the beginning, and paitently waits!

Her level of paitence is inversely proportional to the amount of popcorn smell filling the air...

[Beans]

[Flats]
Scainte sits down with her, bringing the popcorn; she sits quite close, blushinga little.

[The Bushranger]

[Flats]

Andy slips her arm around Scainte's shoulders.
Unpauses the movie.
And NOMS POPCORN.

[Beans]

[Flats]
Scainte snuggles against her, eating poppitycron and watching. She feels... safe.

[The Bushranger]

[Flats]

"This is great..." Andy murmurs as the movie ends.

[Beans]

[Flats]
She nods, laying her head on Andy's shoulder and nestling close.

[The Bushranger]

[Flats]

The red-and-black-haired bard sighs happily, snuggling close to Scainte's side and giving her cheek a soft peck.

[Beans]

[Flats]
She kisses gently back.
Um... I sort of have a question... request... favor to ask...

[The Bushranger]

[Flats]

"What is it?" Andy asks, her voice soft and melodic.

[Beans]

[Flats]
Can I stay with you tonight?
She winces a little.

[Halae]

Kate's Apartment

"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."

Kate's Apartment]

Cos moves to put the symbol into Kate's hand, "Until we find someone else for the position."

[Lost_Deep]

Kate's Apartment

"Well, thanks. For everything you've done. And I'm sorry, I'll try to keep you in mind in the future." Kate will put the holy symbol in her backpack, next to a number of other things she keeps in there just in case.

[Halae]

[Kate's Apartment]

By the time Kate is done packing away the holy symbol, Cos is already gone, having vanished.

Later on in the night, while Kate is fast asleep, something is happening.

Months previous, Kate had been subjected to her first alteration, and at that singular point, it had started something. Over time, gathering different modifications to her body, Kate has slowly generated something unbeknownst to her. It's a creature of the concept; a being made in the spiritual realm that lies against this one, representing what has happened to her; unwanted modification.

For now, it is young and stupid, barely come into the world just yet and still having yet to gain intellect. But what it does have is wildness and a will to inflict its purpose on the people around it.

It's manifestation is slow, having taken place over the times that Kate has been modified, and finally, as the girl sleeps, it comes from a point that onlookers (though there are none, presumably) would define as her sternum, it simply materializes above her, taking the shape of a younger kate with blue skin, having modified itself along the way in a strange use of it's purpose.

But it cannot leave just yet. Not with things to accomplish, people to change. it can feel the presence of Kate below it, the chance to change something part of its very nature. It'll hold its hand over the sleeping girl, and within moments, the changes will take place.

This place, filled with the magic of fey swirling. there's another individual, one it seems to relate to. Someone else inside the apartment? The being goes, and opens the door ever so quietly.

Within another moment, it'll be within Sophie's room, focusing the power of the fey magic already at work into acting quicker, more powerfully. The end result? Sophie has been changed into a grig, though it is up to her player just what poor Sophie looks like.

As the being leaves the apartment, traipsing out into the hallway giggling madly, it looks around. Not seeing any more people, it simply heads for the stairs. It's time to see what there is to do in this world! So many things to change!

When Kate awakens, she will find herself in a modified form. She will likely have moved onto her side in sleep for comfort, as a pair of wings and a tail now sprout from her back. Golden scales cover her body from top to bottom, and her strength is greatly improved. It appears that Kate has returned to being a half-dragon, as she was during the fight with Harnel at Libra's command.

[Lost_Deep]

Kate's Apartment

Kate wakes up slowly, not sure why she feels odd... she slowly brings her hand to her head, and notices that her hand feels odd to her head and her head feels odd to her hand. She opens her eyes and sees gold scales and claws...

"WHAT THE-"

Kate stumbles out of bed, confused, and slowly stands up. The muscles, the scales... why was she a half gold dragon (again)? What was going on? She shuffles around her bedroom, not really sure what to make of it.

Somewhere in the back of her mind, Kate thinks "maybe Cosiellio could help me?"

[Halae]

[Kate's Apartment]

Cosiellio, unfortunately, won't come to mere thoughts. It appears Kate is on her own until she asks. The horns on her head glint nicely in the light of course. She'll also be able to tell that her cybernetic eyes haven't changed at all. None of her other modifications have vanished, although the only bits of creamy skin she can feel with the scales there are the membranes of her wings.

A bit of her now draconic nature should kick in; she should take pride in her appearance. Gold is a beautiful color, modification or not. In fact it's the most beautiful color

[Lost_Deep]

Kate's Apartment

Kate makes it to the restroom to look herself over. Oh, that's just insane... pretty, but insane. She takes a good, long look at it. Power...there's nothing wrong with power. Nothing wrong with gold, eith-

*SMACK*

Yes, Kate literally slaps herself. This is not the time for that. There is no time for that. She forces herself to calm down, and then tries to dispel the effect with some pixie dust. She knows that it isn't good for the amount of fairy energy in her (right now she's three inches short), but she would prefer pixie mindset over dragon mindset any day. Please let the effect dispel...

[Halae]

[Kate's Apartment]

For a moment, it almost seems like simply dispelling it might work, but as Kate attempts this, her new form resists the change and steadfastly refuses to budge.

[The Bushranger]

[Flats]

Can I stay with you tonight?
She winces a little.

"If you're ready for it, and it's what you truly want," Andy says in a soft voice, reaching for the former death goddess' hand.

[Beans]

[Flats]
Scainte nods and, when they reach Andy's room, snuggles close, head on the bard's chest to sleep.
((Dedtiem.))
