Re: [Nexus] Home 16 - Home is Where the Phylactery is
[Vann Estate - Violet's Room]
When dressed, Seiner will find a girl waiting in the hallway with a rolled up parchment. She's in her teens somewhere, with a pointed face and braided dark-blond hair. She's wearing a poncho and a hat, which is hanging around her neck at the moment. "Don't worry, Miss Seiner. Lady Ninety-Nine said it wasn't safe to see you herself, but she gave me this for you. A monster came while you were asleep." The girl holds out the paper. She smells rather spicy; peppers are one of the biggest crops here. "It was scary, but everyone's okay!"

Seiner reads it over a few times, getting shakier and shakier with each repetition until finally the naked girl breaks into tears.
It takes a bit for her to gather her voice and speak to Carmen. T-tell her... I d-don't totally understand, but... but I trust her. And I-I'm going b-back home, so s-she knows where to reach me i---when she can... a-and please, please make sure she knows I love her more than anything.
Rubbing her eyes, she turns away to re-dress, suddenly so much clumsier, lead-limbed.🔜 🆒️ 🚰

The messenger girl looks away, not wanting to see their guest cry. "She wants you to be safe. I never saw her so worried as she was about you. I'll tell her, but I'm sure she already knows."
Carmen takes back the letter, and waits in the hallway until Seiner is dressed. "Can you get back home on your own?"
[Leaving]
Riki9, as it would be, is on her was back to the ruined rec center, to see if the pile of glass that was their enemy is still there. Hopefully with whatever belongings he had before.

Seiner nods, rubbing her eyes. I-I know, that's the Nines I know... as for getting home, I'll be fine. I can get home myself, but thanks for your concern...
She starts to walk out, being a brave big girl and holding her tears in for now.
((Shall we do the Rec Center bit here, or in the Inside thread?))🔜 🆒️ 🚰

[[Vann Estate - Leaving]]
Seiner holds strong til she's a bit down the road from the edge of the estate... and finally breaks down, crying hard and not trying to hold any of it back. Transforming into her Fangire form, she runs faster than a human body could, then leaves the ground to float a few inches above it as she makes her tearful way home, not really conscious of what she's doing to get there.🔜 🆒️ 🚰

Re: [Nexus] Home 16 - Home is Where the Phylactery is
"Agreed," Copi says, "Especially considering the mental effect. Encouragement to accept the change implies more than mere mischievousness. Sophie, if I may-"
"Yes," Sophie states. "This sounds like one of Kate's nightmares. Dolled up physically and then forced to accept it mentally. That's pretty-" At this point, Copi's fix kicks in and Sophie becomes aware of the full magnitude of the effect. She looks down at herself again, and says, "Oh, ick."
Copi looks over at Julie, who has seemingly reversed the effect, and smiles. "As long as it's simple to remove, though, it shouldn't be too much of an issue."Last edited by Lost_Deep; 2013-11-17 at 05:03 PM.

Re: [Nexus] Home 16 - Home is Where the Phylactery is
[Frescot House]
In that case, the lot of them likely finish lunch and head inside! Adir will take Laela to look at her room, dusty and sad as it is. Of course, that won't be the case for long - Adir's got plastic laid out, various brushes around, and a few cans of brightly colored paint to use. While he works on painting the bulk of it, Laela will be allowed to color whatever she wants. He'll often stop to help her, whether it be by lifting her up to paint higher, or getting her a new brush. Of course, that's assuming she bothers with brushes at all.
Adir's rather relieved the tyke wanted to join him. If Laela turned out not to like splashing paint on things and smearing it everywhere, well gee, what did she like? Of course, he didn't much think to get Laela a smock or something similar to protect her clothes, so here's hoping they aren't very expensive ones.
Sakura will've been left with the boys, in the mean time - he got a few toys for them, too. Of course, should Mrs. Frescot come upstairs to check on things, she'll be greeted by the sight of her shirtless, paint-smeared husband and their recolored daughter putting the finishing touches on this little project. Laela will have dictated how it all looks - Adir wanted her to be happy.Last edited by Murkus; 2013-11-17 at 07:12 PM.

Re: [Nexus] Home 16 - Home is Where the Phylactery is
Sophie's Apartment
"That's right." Julie takes the hint and starts working on Copi, trying to shrink her down to size as well. She stops about midway into it as she realizes her own predicament is getting worse again, and simply groans in disgust and presses a hand to her forehead.
"That is, if it were that simple to get rid of. Looks like we've been bamboozled gals." You know, Julie would be more mad at this if she weren't so ticked off. This really couldn't have come at a worse time, could it? I mean, for her it's an inconvenience, but Sophie and Copi really don't need to deal with this.
"So how do we get rid of this?" Mintbalm can think of a few ways that might apply to her. Stepping out of her body and making a new one, maybe? Or peeling the enchantment off and slapping it on Vrivecka if she can figure out how to separate it from herself. She's still embarrassed that she was tricked by the mental effect so soundly.

"I wish I knew more about magic," Sophie sighs. She's feeling pretty useless here. With planning or information gathering she could help, but this is too far outside of her expertise.
"Indeed, times like this make me think I should dabble in wizardry," Copi comments, trying to ignore it as her body morphs back to silly proportions, "But so far the situation isn't terribly complex. There's obviously some kind of redundant effect, which we will have to undo first in order to undo the physical effect. I'm not sure if it wold be set on a trigger, or timed, or some kind of constant... I'm afraid that information finding falls on you, Julie, and if you can't do anything we'll have to get outside help."

"It's constant. My girls started blowing up the second I stopped shrinking them, I just didn't notice until it was obvious. So there's a set form in mind that it works towards if there's any deviation. I wonder if they'd even grow smaller, if I made them bigger than this?" She doesn't try it of course. That's just asking to be stuck with even larger breasts.
"I remember a girl I used to know from work who was like this. She used to wear a bra of holding that would store the excess so she could walk around normally. Wonder what an enchantment like that on some dresses would cost over at Azik's, just as a temporary measure?" Julie's reaching for something that would make this manageable.
"Couldn't he just dispel it? If he can enchant clothes, wouldn't disenchanting us be easier?" Wishful thinking Mintbalm, but still thinking.Julie, everyone's nth favorite succubus, by Gulaghar.

"Azik likely would at least give an effort, from what I know of him," Copi says, "Kate's had good experience with him."
"If we can afford it, we might be able to get potions of dispel or something," Sophie pipes up, "I've heard good things about him in the realm of enchantment. You know, maybe I should spend some funds on a wand of dispel. It's the kind of thing where if we never have to use it, that'd be great, but honestly? We probably will."
"Motion seconded," Copi says with a nod, "But given how awkward it would be to go to Azik in this state, an internal solution to the immediate problem is likely preferable."

"Supernames normally are inspired by a superhero's or superheroine's powers or theme, y'know, like Wombatman, Green Flashlight, and Captain Steroids! Luxia works, I guess, but does it fit your theme? If your theme and name suit one another, you'll gain popularity a heckuvalot quicker, trust me."
Khyli nods sagely, imagining all of the possibilities associated with this diversion. Toys. Comic books. Movies. Her exploits immortalized. She could be an awesome arch nemesis supervillain! All she needs is a costume and she'll be able to terrorize the city right and proper just like her mom!
"Aaand don't worry, I won't try to murder you. I might make it seem as though I'm trying to kill you, but I won't ever do it."

You're welcome!
Excitement! A bubbly Khyli is practically bursting with it!
"Ooo! A light theme! Then I could call myself the Damsel of Darkness! Hmm..."
Considering thingies...
"Black leather costume for me, then, if only because it'd make me look super curtainy."
It would be supernaturally hawt.
"Next question! How will you transport yourself from one place to another when patrolling the city?"

"Jetpacks are super cool too. Mine is probably in my closet in my room. You could borrow it indefinitely, if you want."
Khyli generously offers, eyes shut as she slooooowly succumbs to the coziness of the couch. She yawns and stretches, not at all tired but barely able to resist the couch's invitation to sleep.
"Cool, cool. So do you want to create the costume yourself or should I summon our tailor?"
Of course, she wouldn't summon the tailor directly. She'd summon a servant who would fetch the tailor. Khyli wouldn't be forced to part from the soft, warm embrace of the couch with that technique.Last edited by The Alexandrian; 2013-11-17 at 11:43 PM.

"Magic gems. They're a bit odd," Ashley says, before heading to a shelf to point out three gems sitting near a small statue. "They glow black when I touch them, and I feel like my magic is stronger when I do," she continues.

"A jetpack is a machine that you strap to your torso that you can activate to fly without wings."
Khyli answers as she shakes herself free of the spell the couch seems to have cast on her if only for a moment! She has a guest! She can't take a nap now!
