Re: VVVVVigil: Valorous Veterans Vanquishing Venal Vermin
Dumb loner going for a walk
As Violet asks the question to the fox, he raises his head and tries to lick her face. That presumably means 'yes'.
Anyway.
As the pony insults her hair, Awen decides to quickly withdraw it back. She raises her hands and tries to smooth it - and the snakes- back. She really needs to take a brush to it, or something, because it has a bunch of knots in it or something, and if it weren't for the snakes there's a very real possibility she'll develop dreadlocks with snakes mixed in. Snakelocks. Dreadsnakes?
"Y-yes, it is moving. Hair sometimes does that," she lies. The witch looks down at the ground as she keeps on trying to smooth her hair back. "It only started up a couple years ago, I swear." That one's actually true.Favorite sports:

Gross! Violet says to the fox. Aren't you a little gross weirdo? She says, nuzzling it.
A bunch of snakes moved into your hair and you just let them stay there? She asks, once she's done pampering the fox. Celestia you are a mess. Just call an exterminator or something. She adds, flying in closer and reaching out to try and touch one of the snakes.Avatar by Me!

Wenomir looks at Arkant for a moment, his expression difficult to read.
"Follow me, then."
He leads Arkant towards the commanders' village, away from the Vigil recruit.

[Investigation]
Anika waves her hand dissmissively. "Fine, be that way then." The druid will then get out from his grip and lands on the ground, turning to him. "Must be something pretty important." She raises her eyesbrows thoughfully. "Something you wouldn't need my help with. So likely not anything that can be punched. Therefore it couldn't be demons, and probably not KABAL either. So it's something completely different that you need information from the commander to solve." She taps her chin. "Specifically commander Cessie, so probably something magic related." A beat. "No wait, you already got that demon warlock chick for magic problems. That means it has to be something completely different. You never come over here otherwise after all." Anika crosses her arms over her chest. "Unless she's sick or something. I dunno." She shrugs helplessly and shakes her head. "Seems I can't guess it after all. Must be of one those really complex problems, huh?"

Before Svetlana can respond to that, Wenomir mentions his desire to never deal with Magtok again, causing her to smirk knowingly, but remains silent. Right now, she's focused more on her impending fight than the leaders of AMEN. "I will follow."
She eagerly follows Wenomir to the training grounds and positions herself opposite him. Though the kick misses, she gets the information she desires from his deft dodging, and kicks back with the foot still on the ground with enough force to dodge the jab. "Of course, very much so, sensei." She responds, focusing on him and assuming her fighting stance. "There's someone we didn't mention, though. Harley Zorzo. Apparently she wasn't taken too seriously after announcing herself the leader of AMEN, and word is the current leader really doesn't like her. A shame, being a former leader of AMEN, since she's so pretty." She positions herself within striking distance, waiting to see if he'll take the chance so she can show off her evasive manouvers.Purple Eagle's character list

Thankfully Jezebel can keep a straight face when Wenomir comments about how he'd assured Cessie was the straightest woman in the world. Instead she looks down as she curls her tail around to the front to look. "Your apology is accepted, Anika, do not worry. But where I am from, this would simply be considered a mutation. A physical embodiment of a genetic quirk or corruption of the soul. Given the nature of my past and how close I have become with the source of fell powers in my world, it is not surprising that something has finally manifested. At one point I had been a daemon, or at least as close as one can become without crossing the line, and I had such traits before. When they re-emerged, the display has simply taken the path of least resistance and taken a familiar appearance. Does that make sense now?" She asks before lowering her tail and following along with the others to the infirmary.
"That isn't to say that my nature hasn't changed from being human, but for the moment this is the best I can figure."

While Jezebel might have a hard time keeping a straight face, Cessie can't hide her distain at that very same comment. Her eyes bore into Wenomir, having just had enough of his respecless attitude. While he might not have incited this he should have enough decency to not make jokes about the situation. Couldn't he tell she was already distressed regarding this whole situation? Sometimes he could just be utterly ignorant.
"Was that supposed to be a jest regarding my sexual orientation, Wenomir?" She rethorically asks, her voice now completely drained of emotion.
"Since I suggest we move past that." She pauses, though her tone keeps the same emotionless edge as she continues. "So to answer your question, I believe Jezebel will eventually be able to earn the rank of commander and I would suggest that she will get the opportunity to familiarise herself with our members and even command some of them. Her perfomance at the invasion, and many other occasions, should be enough proof that she has more experience with that than most people in VIGIL, wouldn't you say?" She ends on a somewhat softer note as other things are coming to mind.
Anika has been fairly quiet ever since Cessie spoke up. Even she can tell that the sorceress was pissed now and she had enough sense to not piss her off further in a situation like this.
But eventually, as Cessie finishes, the druid speaks up again. "So you're like a half-demon then?" Very much like a demon hunter.
She glances at Wenomir. "Would be odd to be commanded by someone like that. What do you think, Wen?"

Wenomir gives Cessie a brief, irritated look. Well pardon him for trying to lighten the mood.
"I know what Jezebel has done and can do," he says. "She has led people before and I know she can do it here. Our people will just need to get to know her and learn to trust her." He looks to Anika.

Re: VVVVVigil: Valorous Veterans Vanquishing Venal Vermin

"Probably something to that effect, yes."
Once they get to the infirmary, Jezebel lets the three talk among themselves as she starts rifling through the drawers and cabinets. As best as she knows, none of the three were exactly medically inclined. A bottle of hydrogen peroxide, a set of fine-tip tweezers, a few bandages, duct tape, a mirror...
Duct tape?
With the others talking, she'll turn on as many bright lights as she can, all angled towards the medical cot, and she sits with her back to the mirror. "A bit worse than I thought." She admits, flexing her shoulder and back to see how long and deep the splinters might be before she does her prep work. Even if the others are too engrossed in their discussion to pay attention, they'll probably be snapped out of it when she rips off a length of duct tape and carefully folds over one end slightly to give her a better grip on that side. Then, watching the mirror carefully, she puts the tape over the splinters and pats it down before ripping it off from the bottom up. There hadn't been much blood before but there is certainly more now after that. But the results speak for itself as she lays the used tape down, showing that she's gotten the vast majority of the wood out.
"Anyone mind getting the rest?" She asks, holding up the tweezers.

"You know, since she is part demon and we fight against demons? Just... odd, that's all." Anika shrugs. "We do have-"
However, as Jezebel starts to rifle through the medical equipment Anika abruptly turns away from the others. "Hey! Are you crazy?!" A beat. "Of course you are! Getting stabbed in the chest and now exposing it like some painted target. Yeah, I heard about that." Anika is already grabbing one of the splinters by hand and pulling it out of Jezzy's back before realizing what the tweezers could be used for.
"I've been on the opposite end you know. Trying to keep people like you alive despite your best efforts not to." Kind of a hypocritical statement coming from Anika.
But as she speaks she keeps pulling out splinters and will in addition cast some kind of spell on Jezebel with a touch that causes the splinter-free wounds to start healing as she's removing them. "You're not one of those half-demons that go into battle with only a chest-wrap are you? Since of course that'll get you stabbed you darn fool." She continues making her version of small talk. Hoping that Jezebel will focus on her voice rather than the pain as the splinters are removed one by one.

Wenomir closes his distance to Svetlana at a slow, almost leisurely pace, which suddenly becomes a lightning-quick burst of motion without warning. His training sword traces a blurry line towards the woman's midsection, then pulls back and aims a thrust at her shoulder.
"Harley Zorzo? I think I remember the name. But she didn't stick around for long, nor was she taken seriously, like you said."
[Succubus Hunted]
Wenomir shrugs.
"She was, or is, a different kind of demon. There's many things on different worlds using that name and there're not always related. The Cuthun vermin are different from most kinds of demon."Last edited by Morty; 2019-10-20 at 02:25 PM.

"I actually had armor. It just melted off by a necromancer before I got stabbed. It had been very expensive armor as well. I even commissioned it from...well, it doesn't matter now I suppose." Jezebel says with a sigh, not even flinching as Anika works on her shoulder. "But this does remind me. I'm going to be releasing the pixie soon. There's nothing more we can really learn from her without causing the curse to kill her and trust me when I say torture won't work."

"Melted off your armor? And here I thought necro's weren't into living people. Guess you found the exception, maybe-"
Cessie now clears her voice loudly. "Are you done now, miss Sunfletcher? I am glad that you're performing your duties well, so you have my thanks for that."
Anika gives Jezebel a pat on the back like a mechanic would pat an car they just had fixed. "Oh yeah, almost all done now. She'll be as good as new, ready to-" Anika for once stops herself before going too far with that joke. "Erm, the pixie? What pixie?" Seems like Anika has forgotten despite being right there at her capture.
"What did she tell you?" Cessie asks softly, quite pleased that Jezebel wouldn't go to such barbaric means of interrogation.

"Hmm intressting." he replies as he seems to look into the distance. It appears this person was at least skilled enougth to hide himself from them. Wenomirs reaction tells him he doesn't to even try lying.
"No. Those Orcs reacted on their own. I didn't sense any enchantment on them." he says shaking the head. "I rather assume she worked for them as a supporting unit. She has been hiding in a high spots. There she played her music which confused people down there. The Orcs then picked those people and beat them. Only a few people are missing so they might have been searching for someone. They switched places which made it harder to react.Grammer is my declared deadly enemy!

Re: VVVVVigil: Valorous Veterans Vanquishing Venal Vermin
[Dumb Loner going for a walk]
Being called a little gross weirdo doesn't stop the fox from doing anything. In fact, combined with the nuzzling, it seems to only encourage him to do more.
"Wait - !"
Awen abruptly takes a step back to prevent Violet from touching them. At the same time, the snakes turn to face Violet and start hissing at her, with their fangs bare. "They're venomous." They even have sharp teeth to inject venom, and everything. But wait. What if Violet already saw that and she's immune to venom? It could work.
...
Plus, if all else fails, Awen could remove the venom herself; all she'd need is another person to pass it to.
Okay, maybe it's not all that bad.
She relaxes and lets the pony touch her hair, if she wants. It's just hair that can move on its own, and snakes.
Awen returns to an earlier statement Violet said: "N-no, they didn't 'just move in'. My hair just...knotted clumped together one day and turned into a snake. Weird, I know, but if you pull on them it still hurts." So...yeah, actually, kind-of medusa-like. Scaly snakes, but black. Except also with actual hair mixed in, too, and the regular hair can move on its own for some reason and is actually pretty strong.
[Training Grounds]
Why is she being brought up? That's...why? She doesn't want this to continue, but maybe it's to distract in the fight. She likes to do that. From what Holly the Half-ElfTM remembers of Wenomir, however, just talking doesn't seem like it affects him unless you let him know something that makes him mad. Calling someone pretty doesn't seem like it'd work on him but maybe Svetlana is just testing out the waters to see what sort of thing causes Wenomir to react. After all, Svetlana hasn't actually fought him before so she wouldn't know his fighting style or his triggers.
The half-human watches the match, trying to learn both of their fighting moves and imagines how she would deal with them. She notes that Wenomir's not using his fancy phasing-weapon, whatever it was called. If he's using just a normal weapon like now, Holly could probably take a couple hits from him, but if he had his other weapon she'd have to dodge. She does not want to feel that weird numbing again. With Svetlana's kicks and strikes, Holly could probably use them to set up some feints or counterattacks. That super-quick burst attack from Wenomir? Holly would have to watch out for it using either better range or just be prepared for it, because it seriously looks like it would hurt if it hit, and it'd be hard to avoid.
But...oh, good, he seems - or at least, is pretending to - not remember her. Of course, that doesn't stop them from looking her up on the filing system later. So, regardless, Holly has to deflect the conversation again.
But, seriously? Calling Harley pretty? Not only does Holly consider that to be factually false - shapeshifters can't be pretty due to their nature, and those scars on her face that Holly has carefully covered say otherwise (Sure, scars look hot on someone like Wenomir, but that's not who she is) - but this really makes Holly think Svetlana is some kind of sadistic pervert. She hates any kind of criminal enough to kill on sight, and especially AMEN, and she somehow finds that pretty?
Holly shivers, imagining what would happen if Svetlana ever finds out.
Holly then remembers that she wanted to deflect the conversation. Good, this will keep these images out of her mind. "That Harley's just like Adel. You know, that candy vampire guy?" Appeared in AMEN, became leader, then just disappeared afterwards. "The one who was her successor." More like publicly humiliated her while she was still sick and recovering from Watchtower's attack, and then claimed to be the new leader.Last edited by 5a Violista; 2019-10-26 at 12:08 PM.

"Her name is Lumine. And she's actually quite pleasant company, though I suppose you want to know everything relevant to your mission here." Jezebel supposes as she shrugs the remains of her dress back upon her shoulder and flexes it to get a feel for how it is mending. "That's quite good, thank you Anika. And remember, Lumine is under a curse. If she spoke of anything too detailed or sensitive, she would be killed. All cryptic wording aside, what I was able to learn is a few things of note. First, as to her employer, as we know is that the person is in Skyside and influential. The nature of that influence is up to debate, however we have something worse to deal with." She says with a grim expression. "The person was paid with demonic essence. A large quantity of it. Enough that I've already gotten a few of my people prepping to head to Skyside and Groundtown to make sure their water supplies are safe, though at this point if the plan was to infect the populace wholesale there'd be nothing that we could do about it. A fair portion also got delivered to somewhere off the coast, though Lumine did not know where or could not say."

Cessie looks rather skeptical at the notion that the pixie's company would be 'pleasant'. "She destroyed your armor and then treated you like an sex-object, Jezebel." A beat. "So she must be a great deal more pleasant in private for you to say so." Cessie positions herself in front of the back of Jezebel's dress in a protective manner as if somehow trying to protect Jezebel's decency, which is a rather laughable idea.
However, once Jezebel mentions the demon essence she seems to give up on the idea of shielding the others 'innocent eyes' from Jezebel's mostly naked back which they already seen for quite a while now.
"No, turning people of skyside into demons... it does not fit with anything they've done before, right? From what I can tell, they've not attempt to infect people with that thing for quite a while. It must be for something else." A beat. "Right?" She looks at the others.
Anika shrugs, not looking quite as concerned as the sorceress. "We did detect that KABAL drugs had demon stuff in them. That's what I found out while working with MERC in skyside at least. I gave you a report of that and everything."

"I despise cowards who are confident and mocking when safe and then crumple like wet paper whenever they're confronted and lose the upper hand," Wenomir says, contempt hanging off is words like ice. "And that would suggest the pixie or her employer are KABAL. Allying with the Cuthun demons is a new low even for them. Though I don't know why KABAL would try to sneak it into people through drugs. That might be a job from the demons, but not something they'd do with their payment."Last edited by Morty; 2019-10-26 at 05:37 PM.

Awen thinks the snakes act entirely independent to her will.
She is, of course, incorrect. They acted that way because she was nervous and worried about letting someone touch them.
Because of her mistaken belief, however, she is really surprised when they manage to calm down shortly after Violet tells them to. No more hissing, and the snakes relax and lie in the hair. Thus, Violet's able to touch them.
"Hey, how'd you do that?" the witch asks.
...She starts to feel awkward, though. Honestly, this is the first time she's let somebody do this. "...You're right. I need to find a specialized brush or something." And find a way to keep it from getting all awful and messed again. At this point, just chopping it all off and starting over again probably is the easiest solution. "But, anyway, where were you headed? I don't think I asked."
The fox, getting jealous because he's now being ignored in favor of scaley bois, decides he wants to get down and starts struggling so he can get away. There's no point in being pet if you're not receiving 100% of their attention.Favorite sports:

"I think you forget the sort of folk I've hung around with for the longest time. I wouldn't exactly call them refined." Jezebel says with a bit of a smile. "But there is also a great deal of difference between being arrogant on the field of battle and then finding yourself enchained with a executioner's sword hanging above your head. It tends to put things into perspective." She gets off the medical cot, shrugging her shoulders once more to flex the scraped one. "I don't know much of KABAL apart from name and reputation. But if they're peddling in demon-tainted drugs, then they don't have much in Riverside. My people have enough contact with that sort of vice that they would see something on the markets. Either that or the Gardens and my Masks are being specifically avoided." She reasons.
"Regardless, once I return I'll release the pixie in the morning. Her boss might kill her but I imagine she'll be grateful for the freedom anyway."
Early Morning Training
Hopefully no one who sleeps near the training grounds is expecting a restful morning as the sound of a pair of very large and very angry chainsaws roars through the morning. Jezebel, dressed in gym shorts and a tank top, seems to be quite busy. She's armed as she usually is with her Eviscerator, but today seems to be a special occasion as she has TWO Eviscerators! Each seems to be fitted with magnetic clamps on the back to match the set on her back as well in order to act as sheathes. She's facing a flickering image of something akin to an orc, albeit much larger and much more heavily muscled. Jezebel was a tall and strong woman at six feet in height, but she's dwarfed by the eight-foot greenskin. Those who know her well will see that the Eviscerator she's using to block the Ork Boy's massive cleaver is her favored and glorious silver one. The greenskin's weapon had come down to try and bisect her from her shoulder down, but Jezebel got her own blade propped up on her shoulder to catch it. The engine in her blade whines as it tries to fight back, and as she's forced lower by the creature's great weight she reaches back, snags the grip of her second Eviscerator, and sweeps it around. There's a horrible scream as the black metal bites into the dense greenskin flesh. The projection flickers as it unleashes a mighty WAAAAAAAAUGH but as soon as the lethal blow is fully delivered, it deactivates, giving Jezebel a moment to catch her breath.
Next to her is a small table set up with towels, water, and the controls for the projection system. With the warmup finished, she goes to the table, takes a drink, and then lays both her weapons on it in order to make minute tweaks to them using sets of tools to tighten the chassis, loosen the chain slightly, and to make sure that both are well oiled. In the middle of it all she wipes her face with her towel and turns on some music. The music is certainly loud and possibly obnoxious, but she's wearing earplugs to help so anyone with complaints will have to get her attention first.

There’s a small, colorful bird watching the proceedings. Very colorful indeed, with extremely long feathers trailing from the top of its head like enormous eyebrows.
It says something, but it’s impossible to hear with the earplugs, so it flutters down to the table and lets a number of glowing letters spill out from its wings as if pulling them from under a cloak.

Another bird is also watching, not as colourful as the first. It's a dull yellow bird, about pigeon-sized, with a vertical crest of feathers atop its head, orange tipped with black, and black-and-white bands on its wings. The beak is long and curves down.
The hoopoe sits on a nearby roof, watching and pretending it's an ordinary bird.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle. Much thanks!

"I know your past, Jezz but I also know that you deserve much better than your past and I don't want to give you anything less than you deserve from now on." Cessie insists. "But KABAL are essentially a far worse MERC. They have attacked VIGIL in the past and we have more than one reason of suspecting them working alongside the demons so they're definitely our enemy here. I think we need to start looking exactly what sort of plans they have. We don't usually save places like skyside but this might be something bigger than that."
"I'm always up for kicking their asses. They didn't even give me much of a fight last time. I can do it, easily" Anika claims.

Cessie is going to watch Jezebel's training... from a distance. She wasn't going to interfere with it. Especially as it looked like there were others that wanted some of her girlfriends time.
