Mariel





Turning to face the sudden interloper, Mariel watched with the wary eyes of some predatory creature, waiting, muscles tensed and ready. Her hand had not yet reached for her sword. That would have been too obvious and too aggressive. There were rules. There were rules to violence even in Sigil.

Mariel trusted few people. She trusted fewer people in Sigil. And she trusted uninvited goblins trying to claim free ice cream least of all. She felt a pang of irritation. She didn’t understand. Once more, all too soon, she found herself perplexed by the actions of another. It was strange to ask for a gift offered to another. Impolite, even. Still...it was not her ice cream to give. If the hag wished to bestow a frozen treat on the greedy stranger, then so be it.

Shifting her ice cream further away from the goblin, Mariel took discrete steps to put herself between the new stranger and her compatriots. Uncertain of the seriousness of Lissandra's warning, she had decided to save her ice cream until after they had traveled through the portal. Beigeiros' suffering had left her feeling cautious about the effects of ice cream and dimensional travel.
Someone's gotta try to get Cam to do the right thing. ;D
No worries. I probably set a bad example already. Haha


Posted!

Let me know if anything needs changing, mostly for the fun of it I assumed Cam had an office with a door.
Cam




A digital bird song rang out in the darkened office room, rousing Cam in a wave of fresh adrenaline. Desperate she swung her hands and arms clumsily, managing to send her smartphone sailing into the door to her office.

"Ugh…I’m awake! I’m awake!" she said, falling out of her office chair. Clutching her head in her hands she tried to remember the last twenty four hours. Several empty bottles surround her in an unfamiliar celestial pattern. A poor attempt at a summoning spell. She'd been out late. She remembered several thin glasses of delicious Prosecco. A pretty face. A pretty girl. Her clothes were rumbled. And worse. She had no idea how she had ended up in the black gothic floor length dress that she was wearing.

"What year is it?"she muttered, rolling over onto her back, and staring at the florescent light that beamed down on her.

"It is the year 2024," a voice cheerfully replied from atop Cam’s desk.

"Stella! What the fuck!? I mean…good morning?"

"I’m disappointed in you, Cam. What sort of greeting is that? And last night? Tsk tsk. What a way to spend a Sunday night..."

Robed in blue, Stella sat with her bare feet dangling over the edge of the desk. The hint of a smile played over her lips, but her voice was serious, and Cam felt a growing panic deep in the pit of her stomach.

"Uh…Sorry?"

"I extend to you my merciful forgiveness," the mysterious woman replied, performing a strange gesture with her right hand. Light blinded Cam for a moment, before Stella extended the very same hand and held out a gently steaming cup of coffee. Cam couldn't place the logo emblazoned on the tastefully decorated disposable cup. And she couldn't read the letters.

"Here, have this, it will help perk you up! It's good, very good, I promise!"

"What if I just go back to sleep?"

"Unacceptable, Miss Fairfax!" Stella replied in an instant, her voice full of passion. "There is work to be done and your duty demands more of you. I would see you do better! You must! Please, for me. And most of all, for yourself."

"Fine, fine, just please, stop with the puppy eyes, I’ll get to work. I'll save the fucking world, if it makes you stop nagging me."

"Wonderful," Stella said, jumping from her perch on top of the desk and clapping her hands together with unrestrained glee. "Dear Cam, your company is so pleasant, as always. However, I am afraid I must leave you for now. Regrettably, other matters require my immediate attention."

"Busy day?" Cam asked thoughtlessly, unsuccessfully trying to place the flavors of the coffee that Stella had given her.
"Mondays," Stella said with a shake of her head, appearing for a moment almost human.

"No rest for the wicked," Cam offered with a shrug.

Soft laughter echoed through the room as Stella vanished in a burst of bright light. The smile on Stella’s face filled Cam with a warmth she grudgingly accepted as she turned on her computer, adding a pinch of pixie dust to her coffee.
@illirica Me too!

I believe we are waiting on @Abstract Proxy, @Wayward, and @Lexisheeps for their CSes. Wayward is currently travelling. So I would like to start the IC by Monday, August 12th at the latest. That gives everyone a bit of time. :)


Heyo, I should be wrapping up my CS tomorrow or Saturday, end of the week is always a bit full speed for me, lol.
I'll drop a post tomorrow or early Saturday.
@Abstract Proxy@Archazen@Enzayne Just checking in on you guys. Again, delays are my bad.


No worries!

I'll probably have post up tomorrow or Saturday!
Thanks!

Masquerading as a doctor seemed like something she would be enjoy and be good at (I figure she rather deep understanding of the anatomy of humans and others given her supernatural talents).

And practicing medicine means easy access to bad times and people suffering to feed from...but also to help/push.
A draft, but I figured I'd post in case there are any issues.

Partially because I can't think of a more fun power right now, I'm going to stick with a shape changing Wild.
