Regitnui

Through the Portal

Wearing one shape for so long was starting to feel confining, but Rhen doubted any of her companions would be willing to let her strip down and stretch. Whenever she had to hold a form for more than a few hours, she started wondering how the other races did so. Her shoulders ached, her chin felt too narrow and she could swear her vision was going blue from holding one colour for too long.

Perhaps most annoying was that little pit of fear in the bottom of her stomach that came from staying around any group too long. That fear they'd know she was a changeling and chase her away. But that was ridiculous, irrational, since she'd openly presented herself as a changeling. Still... She looked over at the man at the edge of the camp. Demon, human, famous persona, she still wanted to know him.

She stopped a pace away from him and forced herself to think of an appropriately formal greeting, but in the end only managed, "Ibic solus tionir ara'novor?" She wasn't used to speaking like a child. Her infernal needed serious work. "Great and powerful Argor," she added.

"Ooh, fuss and bother!" One of the girls taunted from below. "It's just a kiss, big boy!"

"Hey, um..."

"Or are you embarrassed?"

"Hey."

"What?" The first girl hissed, dropping her voice.

"Is she allowed to break the tree branches?"

"No, of course not. They're supposed to kiss, fall in love and buy Valentine's stuff."

The second girl points. "Because she's breaking the branches." Frost spread across the wood until their own weight broke them. The two jumped back as the biggest branch supporting the couple in the tree dropped to the ground.

"That's not right! You're supposed to kiss!" The first girl stomped her foot and a wall of earth appeared around the couple. "That's not difficult, is it? You're already holding each other."

@Lord Orgasmo, I will underling the slowly part of that sentence. It's more like practice makes you stronger than sudden superman boosts.

Epic City: Starburst

@thewizardguy, I like it, but expect to have the ECPD watching you just as closely as the actual villains.

@Lord Orgasmo@Old Amsterdam Yes. That aspect is being kept. Powers naturally escalate over time at a slow rate.

The Dragon is occupied with an armoured knight, but I can arrange an ogre or a beast.

Epic City: Starburst

@Lord Orgasmo, I won't give you another major monster, but I can arrange something else...

@ReusableSword, great. Rhen would have been keeping tabs on Victor anyway.

Epic City: Starburst

Well, you've got Jerry to explain and another date to ask.

Melissa stood up, pulled out a marker and wrote her number on his hand, giving herself another opportunity to hold his hand. Hesitating for a moment, she wondered whether to kiss him. If she were better-looking and more confident, she would, but she didn't know how he'd react.

"There," she said. "You can phone me later when you're free, and then we can get together." Still holding his hand, Melissa looked at him. Should she kiss him goodbye? That dating article said you have to leave a man wanting more, but not kissing him also counted, right? But she also had to make it clear to him that she wanted romance or it would never go anywhere... "See you tomorrow," she said, letting go and ducking around the nearest shelf to let her heart stop racing.

Manilow will chase you around with literal stones dropping from the sky as if you somehow offended the entire asteroid belt while yelling. Catherine will just asphyxiate you without a change in expression. And that's why she's scarier.
