"I'm sure you'll do fine. I'm just wondering what this magic entails." Trinity gazed at the case, unsure of what it would mean for her friend. Whatever it meant, Trinity doubted she'd do anything that couldn't be fixed. She found her feet set on the ground and the dimension of fur she'd been surrounded by suddenly retreated, "_Aww..." but D'Angelo's dismissal of her offhanded accusation stunned her out of whatever dissatisfaction she had.

"That's a n..normal thing for you, is it?" It was really quite a stunning thing to hear, just a casual headbutt between friends, but somehow this ludicrous notion had a feeling of nostalgia to it.

The words she heard came echoing back to her, "Not much of a hugger," he'd said.

"You tried to hug him?" Her voice cracked, she thought it was easy to see from 1000 paces that you maybe shouldn't hug Nolan. But maybe that was just because she knew him? "And you say it's been a long time since you've seen him last and you gave little to no introduction? Y'know, strange surprise hugs are scary..." She certainly wouldn't want a surprise hug from a big stranger, even if it was in the middle of the guild hall. The surprise aspect has a lot of influence, here. "Sounds like you've got your own story about Nolan already, though."

Aiko had stayed up a decent part of the night, just tending to Nabarra and giving her occasional sips of potion. A bit of slight of hand and a bit of magic moulding made getting it down easy. Once Orias had gone to sleep, she let herself doze off into a trance and went for one of their little walks.

There was a lot of work to be done; Minds to pacify and thoughts to curb. A presence to cover up. She would begin with the tavern patrons, and burying the thoughts of the dark elf in the tavern. Distracting with sex appeal usually worked, and those dreams fed well, too. But, while she was out amongst the dreams, there were thoughts regarding multiple dark elves. That... Complicated things. The king did bend his knee, surely that wasn't going to be the end of it. Was this the next step?

The dreams involving multiple dark elves were, simply, nightmares. Covering up the existence of Nabarra, a specific dark elf, from a mind that did not perceive her as a specific dark elf was going to be tricky. Was reducing the count by one enough? If there had been any more to deal with, it might have been useless, Nabarra would have just been a body in the crowd.

Perhaps more concerning was the horror present in these nightmares. Horror at the sights of the day. Fear of gore, violence and pain. Fear of dark elves and their magic. Whoever those two were made quite the impression.

By the time their work was done, the dreams were drying up as dawn broke. There were still those who worked at night or slept in that they could visit as the morning came. And Yuka should be returning soon, so maybe they would wake after all... For a short while.

The wound was dressed, but there was no immediate result. Not that she expected it. "And we'll just dress her back up before she has a fit..." No need to agitate the apparently wounded and slightly prudish dark elf. "Poor dear, should have said something." But, with tensions as high as they are now, not garnering attention may have been best. Still, though, just gonna sit there, poisoned?

"The shape shifting?" Right, she slipped up earlier. "No, not very common. I shift about to suit my mood. You both still recognized me immediately, so maybe maybe the mask is better for a disguise, after all? It does comes in handy, though." Had he caught on? What would his reaction be, to a demon? Would it be like the other's reaction to a dark elf? It didn't seem like he was overly suspicious of her, but that could mean anything.

"So, how did the two of you meet? Quite the odd pair, I must say. You might even call it two ends of a spectrum, the two of you. What kind of dreams brought you to this place and company?" Aiko found herself gently curling a lock of Nabarra's hair around her finger and stopped, settling their companion into the bed and letting her be, now that she was dressed and dressed and they were waiting on Yuka.

@Gunther

Do you mind if we change things up a little bit? The base idea is fine, but I think we could use a little more plot. As for tying things into a group RP, I have one this should fit into nicely. Shall we more Monster Hunter flavor for action with some additional large creatures that have been feeding on Aevon-enriched foods, and expand the ancient artifact into some ancient ruins to refurbish? Maybe throw in some "primitive" locals for manpower. Could have complementary roles for the two characters, as well. A soldier and an engineer or some such. Whatcha think?

The Stars Are Just New Friends You Haven't Met Yet

There's lots of room for doing lots of different things.

Fantasy and magic, less sci fi? That's in there, but that will be in a particular time in a particular region of the Galaxy, possibly localized to one planet for a while.

Super sci-fi? That's there, too. We've got the remnants of the galactic community sporting that genre in the era immediately following the Black Year.

There's plenty of room, folks.

Yuka was quick to jump on the suggestion of putting the potion down Nabarra's throat. Maybe too quick. "Careful you don't drown her, instead. Wouldn't that be ironic?" Drowned by a healing potion. And what was that joke about bodily fluids? "You are trying to get her to swallow and not gag, aren't you?"

Yuka offered to get a potion of antidote, which sounded like a good idea. "If there's poison, then that will be important. I don't much care to try and carry her anywhere else, so that's going to be the best idea. For a number of reasons. Hand me the rest of that potion, would you?" Best keep this under wraps.

The lioness, clearly a spark of initiative and, perhaps, too much daring, pause, and seemed to... this was interesting. Aiko, particularly, was keen whrn Yuka seemed to drift off... Into a dream of some sort. A trance, perhaps, not unlike a dream. Aiko got vague wafts from the dream, nothing solid but the idea of something lost. Another visit to be made throughout the night.

At the suggestion of Yuka being less-than-urgent in general, Aiko had an idea. In the brief time she's had to observe Yuka, she'd gotten an idea of how to appeal to her. "We can have ourselves a romp when you're done. I don't think I'll be in the mood if we lose her, though, so do hurry. I'll try my best while you're gone." Since Yuka had grabbed the potion quickly, Aiko had busied herself with cleaning the wound and preparing some dressing to be soaked in what was left of the potion, and would begin dressing the wound.

Yeah, there was no chance this would go by unnoticed. Oh well. In for a penny, in for a pound, looks like it's the resistance for this one. Not that I'm very keen on the king's apparent loyalties anyway...

Aiko had, at least, brought themselves inside before her companions began to draw attention to the change. "Ah, yes, it's me. A very well hubba bubba to you, too," she mimicked the motions of the surprised lioness, moving her hands lightly over her changed curves before approaching Nabarra on the bed.

"You haven't given her the potion? Hmm... Well, let's start by redressing her wound. You smell it, too, don't you, Yuka? Dressing soaked in potion aught to do something? Makes sense to me, anyway. I don't think I have anything for poison, though... If she's really been poisoned, we may need to find help. I'm more accustomed to treating hangovers." Aiko looked the dark elf over once before moving elsewhere in the room, rifling through a few pieces of furniture before producing a small spool of cloth and a clean rag, "fresh bandages."

With that, she started to change the dressing on Nabarra's wound. Orias could probably locate it for her, or she'd just have to find it, but she wasn't shy about removing the necessary items of clothing, either. As if a succubus would be.

The Tide Will Return - A Space Nation RP with Fantasy!

Ah, yes. I should include notes on the recent changes in the universe. I think I still need that in there... Ghosts and stuff.

Since the end of the Black Year, jump drives and gates have not functioned properly. Warp drives, that bend physics to allow FTL speed travel times, have become the main stay. Jump drives were adapted into various purposes, in the years immediately after the Black Year, before their secrets were lost to time.

Crew on board ships running what are now called Flux Drives often complain of ghosts and hauntings. Flux drives are used to operate very powerful systems, from ion cannons to shield walls, and symptoms are often blamed on radiation or exposure. Superstitious sailors will avoid regions of the Galaxy, for rumors of vicious ghost hauntings and specters.

The beast wasn't going to submit to her partial effort. She'd have to fight this seriously. The fact that the two heads seemed to communicate caused her concern, but she didn't have much time to dwell on it before Talos came at her for an attack. She stepped aside from the initial lunge, what turned out to be a feint, before she started to deflecting the snake strikes, striking the vicious fangs to keep the open mouth away from her.

She formed her shockwaves into a sword in her hand, using two blades to deflect against the two fangs repeatedly striking at her. She heard the crackle just in time, the snake head rearing back as the wolf head let out a howl and a magic blast. She was able to bring her ethereal sword to bear, the shockwaves of it forcing the blast to split and diverge around her.

Despite her efforts, the electric blast caught her arm. The shockwave sword dissipated as her arm now hung, shocked out of its strength. "Tch. If that's how you want it, here's your Hell Sentence." She held the Yawarakai-Te steady in her right hand, stilling herself for just a moment before launching into action.

With a shockwave to launch herself, she got herself into the air and with her feet on the side of a nearby tree. She needed the right angle, and here it was. With another shockwave, she launched herself down the length of Talos's body, delivering a long slice down the spine, to trigger every last pain receptor. That should stun the beast. The bounty hunter caught herself on a tree and went back for seconds, diving for the snake head and attempting to pin it to the ground with her sword through its head.

Not the way she wanted this fight to go, but this transformation really pushed things out of hand. "Might I suggest you not fight me."

Still interested in 1x1s, if that's your thing. Got a group RP you think I might be into? Hit me up, too.
