After taking the train back into Clockhaven's centre, the group ended up being asked to follow Morana, as she told them she wished to discuss their next steps somewhere a little more private. She'd lead them to a large town-house not too far off from the station, unlocking a side-door that immediately let to a narrow staircase, barely fitting Sverre. These stairs in turn led all the way to the top floor of the building. A small room awaited them there.<br>

<span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“This is a safe-house used by some government officials, although it's rarely utilised lately. We'll be able to discuss our next steps here.”</b></span> She'd say, upon leading them the way. As soon as they entered it, the amount of gears, clocks, clockwork, clockwork gears... It was all a little overwhelming. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“Don't mind the mess, I think the official story is that a clockmaker works here, so these are all just props to keep up a cover.”</b></span><br>
<br>
She sighed, then went to a vault-like closet to the side of the room, fiddling with some combination lock and opening it up to reveal... rations. Plain and simple rations. She tossed them to the group. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“I'm surprised nobody minded skipping lunch, but I guess you can have an early dinner instead.”</b></span> As she said it, she gave them the 'right' example, opening some sort of packet with a jellylike substance, unhooking her mask and quickly drinking it before putting her mask back in place. Other rations included some sort of crackers and protein bars with nuts. None of it looked particularly tasty, but likely nutritious enough.<br>
<br>
She leaned against a wall, seemingly oddly relaxed. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“I wasn't sure if I should reveal this place to all of you, but you've convinced me it's worth doing so. I must admit... whatever I got to drink in the scrapyard has made me feel better than I've felt in years.”</b></span> This was probably her way of thanking Cayde for his aid to her. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“Anyhow, it will be night soon. If rumours about their kind are to be believed, the vampire or thrall might make some moves at night. Perhaps the vampire hunters might make a move as well. We'd best consider our next options carefully, otherwise...”</b></span><br>

She was interrupted by Mr.S before she could finish. <span style="color: #5F9EA0"><b>“Me and ma hammer.. we wanna smash 'em both.

Kalina, however, was debating another option. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“I'd still prefer to try tricking the Thrall first... I... I'll show you how. Please, know that this won't be the real me. It's just a cover I use to infiltrate with other monsters.”</b></span> She said, not needing to deceive them as she was technically correct. Right in front of them, some of her features started to change. She was still tall and wearing the same armour, but her eyes, hair, skin tone (and for those with Appraisal, her titles) would soon change into something else entirely. She even altered her way of speech to fit the new persona.<br>

<span style="color: #C71585"><b>“This should trick them.”</b></span> She said. <span style="color: #C71585"><b>“Right now, I should be appearing as Yurena. A monster, murderer, abuser, thief and vandal. All to considerable degree. I should also show to be bloodthirsty, most wanted and secretive. The cover story I use is that I've survived as a monster by laying low and simply staying secretive for long enough for the criminal titles to stack up over a really long time, rather than going after big targets. That should give a decent balance between impressing monsters without them wondering why I wasn't known to them beforehand.”</b></span> She really hoped that this gamble was paying off. Showing everyone this for was a little terrifying, in particular towards Morana.<br>
<br>
On the topic of Morana, she seemed on edge. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“That is a rather impressive, yet concerning ability.”</b></span> It was clear she already didn't trust Kalina all that much and that this revelation wasn't helping, yet thanks to the group treating her well thus far, she didn't seem as ready to attack as during Kalina's episode in the factory.<br>
<br>
Sverre grabbed his hammer tightly. <span style="color: #5F9EA0"><b>“Ya sure ya ain't a real monster? Ya coulda be fooling me...”</b></span> He legitimately sounded hesitant. Likely due to head still not being entirely functioning properly.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #C71585"><b>“I assure you, this is merely a faked identity I take upon myself to be undercover with monsters. Nothing else. I could use it to speak to the thrall and introduce the others as people wishing to become vampires as well, although... I don't think they'd trust it if you two tagged along.”</b></span> She spoke to Morana and Sverre. Those two would be the biggest risk, as the vampire or Thrall would likely be far more wary of Widersia officials got involved, especially Sverre, who was already known by the Thrall. They'd have to do this without them, or so Kalina feared.<br>
<br>
However... before they could continue the discussion, they heard someone scream in shock.<br>

<br>
The halfling had managed to climb the stairs and get to the door's opening without anyone hearing, likely being a relatively sneaky type by nature. However, it was clear she was shocked and on guard in equal measure.<br>
<br>
Kalina, still trying to think how she should convince Morana and  Sverre to work along with her plan, wasn't counting on a third person to suddenly appear here and didn't have a clue what to say to diffuse the situation. Then again, Cayde was here as well, so she figured he'd sort things out, as he'd done this far. Or perhaps someone else would. Looking as monstrous as she did, her words likely wouldn't be believable either way.</div>

After fighting those undead, and taking the train back it was a bit of a relief for Morana to guide the group to a safe room of all places. It would allow them a bit of a much appreciated breather. Iberis thought to herself anyway, as she knew it was likely there was quite a bit more combat to come moving forward depending on how things went.<br>
<br>
It only became more apparent to Iberis the extent of clearance which Morana had if she knew where a safe room used by governmental officials laid, as that meant that she was perhaps even more in the inner circle than Iberis might have assumed. It was clear she had some kind of relation with the Baron, but this only further cemented things.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">“Thanks Morana."  </span>Iberis said with a smile upon seeing the rations. Truthfully Iberis wasn’t really a picky eater. This definitely beat Madmaw’s Pocket Bologna by miles, or Scylla’s cake that had been through the digestive track of some awful thing in that dimension. Truthfully however she hadn’t really been a very robust eater after all that unfolded with Renee’s death, it was more common for her to eat bits here and there, much like what she did when she had been living on the streets, definitely unusual behavior since when she first arrived at the academy she ate with gusto, she just hadn’t felt the same.<br>
<br>
Iberis then nodded,<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)"> “I also wanted to say that  appreciate that you are starting to see the value of our operations as a group.”</span> Referring to Morana disclosing she hadn’t been sure if she should show them this room.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">“Night time operations huh? I guess that makes sense, I haven’t really heard of many vampires which are very active during the day.”</span> She said, this was truthful despite knowing Kalina, all the basic knowledge Iberis knew about them was that they were typically very night predator like.<br>
<br>
She was pleasantly surprised that Morana expressed that Cayde’s elixir of sorts had done her well, not that she had any doubt in Cayde’s skills but it just seemed like an unlikely thing for Morana to mention.<br>
<br>
Iberis also gave a nod Mr. S’s way in confirmation, she definitely understood why he wanted to do that, hopefully he could get his memory back soon enough.<br>
<br>
<br>
Iberis was rather impressed with the Yurena look, Kalina once again showing off her skills there. That sounded like a reasonable plan from Kalina  in Iberis’s mind.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">“Woah, that’s really impressive Chandra.” </span> Looked like it would hold up relatively well under  some forms of appraisal.<br>
<br>
Iberis was rather startled when she heard the hell, however, and immediately gripped her staff looking over in that general direction quickly from whoever was there, they were evidently not pleased that people had been brought here it sounded like.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">“Uh, Hi there, we  don’t mean any harm or to intrude, we're just here to help the  Baron with the vampire problem.”</span> She said as precisely as she could after she started to calm down a bit since it sounded like the Halfling was someone affiliated with Mr.S and Morana.</div>

When they made their way back to another part of Clockhaven, Scylla was happily almost skipping as she had her arm entwined with iberis, "Yo ho! Yo ho! A pirates life for me! ARGG!" She'd scrunch up her face, and close an eye to appear more 'pirate like' before bursting into a giggle. "Shh! Shh! We're sneaking! Keep it down!" She'd then whisper frantically as she'd not let go of Iberis arm until they got to the door. "Oooo a safe house?" She repeated, "Exquisite idea miss Morana!" After she opened the door Scylla couldn't help but fixate on the decor. Her eyes bright and mouth wide open, "Whoa! It's like.. in those fairy tail books! its.. its.." She'd then touch a gear adorned upon display before breaking it in half. "..was.." She chuckled nervously, "..so real looking." She would look down, already feeling Morana's furious glare. "My.. apologies."<br>
<br>
Then she'd watch as Morana took out some rations. "Uhhh.. is this-" She'd cut herself short not wanting to draw anymore attention and confusion. <i>Of course this isn't a date. </i>She'd think to herself as she shook her head and rolled her eyes. Taking a 'ration bar' she sniffed it a bit. "Uh.. ew." She muttered under her breath then looked around at the others who would have taken some of the rations, interested in their reactions regarding the food. "I suppose this beats eating eyes." She said finally before opening the wrapper and plopping it in her mouth. She'd shudder with a sort of shrill sigh, her hands almost getting knotted into each other as she fought off the taste.<br>
<br>
Then looking at Mr. S she gave him a small thumbs up. "nom.. nom..now thats the spirit!" She said approvingly.<br>
<br>
Then 'Chandra' transformed, it was a bit sudden but before she knew it she had become nearly a complete, seductive horror! "Chandra! Thats scary cut it out now!" She said as the tone and volume of her voice rose a bit, pulling down her hat over her eyes. "Oh gods, be merciful upon my friend, and may the underworld tremble at her sight!" For what it was worth, it wasn't much that she was afraid, but provocative to weak minds. Perhaps even a tinge of jealousy. "Well, this form will certainly get you attention if that's what you want."<br>
<br>
Speaking of attention, a certain stranger would've made themselves known, quickly trying to keep everyone's cover she pulled the sneaky person inside and shoved a 'ration bar' in her mouth. "Put a cork in it! This is.. like.. absolutely TOP SECRET! And now.. you're part of our little group because of what you seen!" A lecturing finger was pointed right in between the sneakers face. "Now, what is your name?" She asked while using [Appraisal E]. "And no lies, you hear?"</div>

Propped up against one of the saferoom's walls, Cayde stared hesitantly at the suspicious pack of 'jelly' in his hands. He could feel his mouth go from wet to bone dry as he tried to find the courage to dig in. It shouldn't have been this hard. He'd had worse. The woods weren't always the fruit-laden, game-filled sanctuaries the hunters back in Ryken would say. Monsters still existed. <i>Goblins</i> existed. And he'd learned they were just as picky as humans. It turns out they didn't like eating bugs, either. <br>
<br>
Cayde peered into the packet, nose scrunching. At least earthworms tasted like bacon when cooked right. What was <i>this</i> going to taste like?<br>
<br>
He didn't want to find out. But before he could opt for a protein bar, Cayde heard Morana explain why they were here to begin with. He almost gasped. Surely, <i>some</i> of her reasons had to be for the integrity of the mission, but was this some sort of gratitude? From Morana? On her <i>own</i> volition? It sounded so wonderful he had to smile. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Wow, well, thank you, Morana! I'm glad you enjoyed it," </span></b>He beamed, raising the jelly pack in cheers. It felt like <i>months</i> since he'd last heard someone praise his craft. He couldn't ever remember giving someone the recipe to one, either. That could change. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"When this is all done, I'll write you up the recipe, yeah?" </span></b>He nodded, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"It's the least I could do,"</span></b><br>
<br>
He peered down at the jelly and shrugged. It probably wouldn't kill him to try. Maybe. Hopefully. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"A cheers to Morana," </b></span>He said before slurping it down. <br>
<br>
As he drank, Cayde listened closely as Kalina went over the plan. A curious look spread on his face when she transformed into Yurena. So she actually could <i>change</i> when she switched disguises? Did everyone else know about this? He couldn't ever recall hearing about <i>this</i> ability. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b><i>"Never saw this one before..." </i></b></span>He thought, cupping his chin, <b><i><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"I guess that's another thing..." </span></i></b>He shook his head and shifted his eyes over to Morana and Sverre next. He could ask later in private.  <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"She's right. If we bring you two, things might escalate into a fight. Sure, it'll get the thrall out of our hair, but we won't learn where the vampire is. It'll put us right back to square one," </b></span><br>
<br>
He took a step forward, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"I know how you both feel. You two want <i>action</i>. And when we find this vampire, I'm sure they'll be <i>plenty</i> of it for bo-" </span></b>A scream from behind shook the words out of him. He turned around, spotting a new, very confused face. He hadn't accounted for this. <i>This</i> was bad. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Oh! S-sorry ma'am, we didn't-" </b></span>Cayde gasped as Scylla pulled her in, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"What? Scylla, no! Don't <i>gag</i> her!" </b></span>He said, slowly approaching the halfling, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Look, I'm sorry - she's <i>very</i> quick on her feet. Let me explain..." </b></span>He nodded to Iberis. Her explanation was the most sound so far. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Yes, we're helping the baron. We've just got back after finding Sverre, and now we're discussing how we'll find the vampire." </b></span>He said, gesturing to Kalina, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"That's Chandra. She's in a disguise. That's <i>one</i> part of our plan," </span></b><br>
<br>
He held his palms up, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"We<i> could</i> tell you the rest. Let's just all settle down, alright?" </span></b></div>

Sophia's eyes flicked around the safehouse, her gaze fixing on a few different clocks. She moved over to them, examining the intricate insides as she listened to the discussion. Her eyes moved to Kalina as she changed, remembering that she had never actually seen her change, instead just seeing the before and after. As one of her claws held a clock she had picked, up, the others lightly gave a golf clap. As she explained about that form, Sophia's eyebrow slowly raised before she simply said, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Kinky."</span> Then her eyes moved down once more, focusing on the clock.<br>
<br>
However, her attention ended up being drawn to the gal spouting piratey nonsense. She slowly stepped over to her, seeming to examine her more closely before leaning up to whisper, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"You're from another world too then, right? The... interesting pirate accent and saying, 'A pirates life for me' somewhat tipped me off. Of course, I might be oblivious and you already explained that you were from my world."</span> She gave a small shrug before pulling back, her eyes going back down to the clock, stating in a louder voice. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"You know, Scylla, I would love if you and Chandra would be willing to come to my home after we finish with this mission. It would be nice having her back, and I would love hosting someone as... interesting as you." </span>As for the newcomer, she didn't spare her a second glance as she continued to mess with the clock.​</div></div>

She scarfed it down much quicker than the others seemed to as she leaned against a wall between Cayde and Iberis, and she actually seemed to enjoy it quite a bit. She actually looked kinda happy. She chuckled as she closed her eyes.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"I never thought I'd take so much pleasure in something so simple, but being in this place...anything to remind me of where I'd rather be."</span> She said to no one in particular before she looked at Morana. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"I'm glad you see our partnership as beneficial, Morana. It's always nice to meet new perspectives, even in places I'm not fond of." <br>
<br>
"Cheers to Morana indeed."</span> Shion joined Cayde's gesture before her attention was drawn to Chandra as she proposed her plan.<br>
<br>
The transformation didn't faze or surprise her one bit now that she knew what she knew. She did wonder if this would've confirmed everything for her by now if she hadn't discovered her newfound abilities here. She nodded once she brought up her plan to agree with Cayde. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"There will be plenty of time for bloodshed when the third act arises. Until then, gaining every advantage we can is important."</span><br>
<br>
Then the sudden entry of the halfling came, and Shion jumped just a little bit as her calm composure otherwise remained intact. She backed Iberis and Cayde soon after they spoke. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Yes, our ally Chandra is very competent at disguising herself. Please calm yourself, we assure you no harm will be done to you."</span> She turned her attention to the witch close to the halfling.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Scylla, calm down. Making sudden moves like that just open the door to negative consequences that could be <b><i>easily</i></b> prevented." </span>Shion's tail swept in front of her body for a moment so Scylla could get a good look at it. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Wouldn't you agree?"</span> And then her tail tucked behind her as she leaned back against the wall. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Let the poor woman speak."</span></div>

The rations they'd been given given were all rather bland. Only the nuts had decent taste to them. Tasting rather nutty, as one might expect. The jelly was vaguely minty, but in a weird chemical way. Upon a little bit of alchemical analysis, one might realise that the ingredients were perhaps not dangerous, but very shady. After all, why did some of this jelly seem so much like the stuff you'd expect from a [monster] type of living slime..? The protein bars were bland and dry, but very filling for their size. <br>

Upon noticing the confusion she was causing and seeing others try to diffuse it, she quickly switched back to her Chandra identity. As before, her height or clothing didn't change, but most other features and even her titles did.<br>

<span style="color: #778899"><b>“They're correct. I'm merely using a disguise.”</b></span> At least it was likely to work on the thrall as well, if even her allies and strangers were this convinced of its authenticity. On the topic of authenticity... she figured she'd best pick up some rations as well. She'd figure out how to discard them later, but not eating anything would seem pretty suspicious. Her behaviour thus far had likely been odd enough to them, so she'd better not push it even more. <br>
<br>
She then turned to Iberis and smiled at her compliment. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Thank you, if you want, I can show you some other disguises later.”</b></span> It was surprisingly nice to be complimented so honestly, especially after she felt like she hadn't been impressive enough during battle. It made her want to show off even more.<br>
<br>
On the topic of showing off, she leaned over to Scylla, then whispered. <span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="color: #800000"><b>“If it's that scary, perhaps I should use it when taking what you've promised me~”</b></span></span> She wanted to test the hyper-active witches' reaction for a little. Then she got more serious. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“You're right, I purposefully worked on an identity that would draw attention. I hope it's not too much.”</b></span> She spoke that part louder and more formally.<br>
<br>
That said, Sophia's reply was on odd one. What did 'kinky' mean? Was it an insult? She wasn't entirely sure. She should ask someone later. Come to think of it, there was more she wanted to ask. She should just figure out whom to ask. Cayde would probably knew. He seemed to know just about anything. Yet Scylla was probably easier to talk to about such things, although less likely to know a good answer. Iberis might be a good mid-point? She didn't know Shion well enough to consider asking her just yet. She'd have to think about it later.<br>

This day was getting weird. To have so many people thank her was both new and odd. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“You're welcome.”</b></span> She first responded to them all. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“Your group has rather odd manners, but the results were there.”</b></span> She commented on operations as a group. She also nodded along with the night-time operations. That said, she recalled something. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“Although we might also consider resting for the night, as going up against them when we're tired and when they're at the strongest might be foolish. Without my usual mixture, I don't think I'd be able to keep fighting without proper sleep either.”</b></span><br>
<br>
She honestly didn't have the energy left to be glaring at Scylla for breaking the decor. She was even more tired of stupid questions. Like <i>'is this</i> <s>a date</s> <i>food</i>' which she answered with a firm, <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“Yes, yes it is.”</b></span> Of course this was food. Why else would she tell them to eat it?!? She didn't realise Scylla was going to ask if this was a date instead. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“Eating eyes..?”</b></span> She questioned Scylla. Already regretting bringing her here. This girl made her feel like a living version of the drugs she was taking, except on a bad trip. <br>
<br>
Her regrets were diffused by Cayde, who gave her an idea. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“That recipe might be nice to have, but come to think of it, since you're the one that spilled the beans on my usual mixture, do you think you could come up with a new one? I need something for my body to keep up with my metal parts.”</b></span> She was pretty sure that 'secret' was already in the open to anyone with half a brain, so she didn't mind talking about it aloud in the current group. If she didn't get a replacement soon, she might have to go through withdrawal. That'd severely hinder her performance. <br>
<br>
She turned to Shion and stared at her for a good while. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“You're a surprising one.”</b></span> That was all she said in the end. She didn't particularly like being excluded from the thrall hunt, but remained silent about it for now, to give some room to the interruption to be dealt with. <br>

As Scylla tried to gag her with a protein bar, she dodged underneath the girl and further into the room, only to turn around and yell back. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“Hey! Keep the gagging to the bedroom, won't you?!?”</b></span> She yelled, then turned to Morana and Sverre, after hearing from the others and seeing Kalina change from Yurena back into Chandra. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“Won't you look at that...”</b></span> She said, sounding fairly impressed. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“Ain't that mighty useful.”</b></span><br>

He looked at her in silence for a bit, before replying. <span style="color: #5F9EA0"><b>“Imma been renamed to Mr.S and I gotta few troubles with me noggin'.”</b></span> He eventually replied, which clearly made the halfling react in shock.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“A few?!? You don't even sound like the same person. How scrambled did your brain get?!?”</b></span><br>
<br>
He remained silent, unable to answer her. <br>
<br>
That only got her more intrigued. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“Okay, this is freaking me out! So is it true, did your men get killed as well? That vampire's a lot tougher than everyone feared then! Now I definitely want in on this!”</b></span><br>

<br>
<span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“Hah, didn't you hear? The purple lass already told me I was in! Besides, I need the pay, so don't get in my way, Hound.”</b></span> She said, sounding rather challenging and provocative when she called Morana 'Hound' just then.<br>

That worked. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“Is that how we'll play this? Fine. We'll do it you way. I doubt the group wants a ratfucker who got screwed over enough to no longer function in full.”</b></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“Hah! I'm not ashamed of getting laid! That rat gal was worth it, getting enough money to pay for my hand is a minor set-back. You're just jealous your creepy ass can't get laid for the life of you whilst I got lucky with a charming rat gal~”</b></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“She robbed you afterwards, I wouldn't count that as getting lucky.”</b></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“She also left me a note, so it totally counts! Besides, I was relying too much on the enchantments of my hand anyhow, I should learn some skills without it.”</b></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“Bullshit.”</b></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“Try me.”</b></span><br>
<br>
The two were staring at each-other from across the room. Apparently there was a lot more history to them than there seemed to be at first.<br>
<br>
Kalina had absolutely no idea how to deal with this, so she decided to hope that the others would sort this one out. Cayde probably could, or Scylla's enthusiasm might. <br>
<br>
She figured she'd best spent her time and effort elsewhere, such as by figuring out something else. She headed over to stand besides Shion, quickly checking that nobody was looking before she stealthily handed her the rations she'd took before. Better get rid of them early before it'd start looking suspicious. Then she whispered. <span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="color: #800000"><b>“What you did in the train... just what was it... and... just how much did you see?”</b></span></span> Although standing beside her made Kalina gloss at Shion's tail again, she was focused enough to open up her mind for an answer, expecting Shion to use the weird inner thought speaking again.</div>

If you're thinking about what I said back at the Railworker's Crossing, I meant every word. I also mean every word when I say no one has the right to disrupt balance without proper compensation for such acts. Refusal to do such should be met with extreme prejudice. This vampire takes and never gives to this community, so I have no qualms taking their life without mercy if they see all of these lives so callously."</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: null">Before Morana could respond, the bickering erupted between Morana and the halfling, and Shion's eyes darted between the two of them to make sure neither was about to get violent. In the middle of the argument, Kalina suddenly handed off her rations to Shion. Seemed like she was trying to play the part of a human as best she could, smart, she'd clearly been doing this for a while. Could she not just eat them and gain nothing though? Did vampires work differently in this world? Questions for later, more pressing was what Chandra asked her in return. Shion locked eyes with the vampire as the woman would see her eyes began to glow a soft blue once again as she began speak <b>[Telepathically F]</b> with the only woman in here taller than her.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)"><i><b>"It is a form of telepathy it seems, Chandra. I am capable of peering into the surface of people's minds and present my own to others as well. I can even get a vivid glimpse of one's memories or, again, grant my own if I tweak the flow of my mana a little. I believe I accidentally did it to Iberis earlier when we split off from everyone, and it activated again when I tried to call to you back at the factory before I managed to fully grasp what it was. I did not possess this ability back in my world, my mana seems to be shifting and growing differently here. As for what I saw, as I said before, I saw everything. I saw your arm getting maimed in your past life, your sister tormenting you, all of it. I didn't have a good vision of her, but I heard every word between you two. You have nothing to fear from me, your kinship with these humans has convinced me that your warning about monsters was, while taking it lightly would be foolish in almost all cases...not every case it would seem."</b></i></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: null">The glow from Shion's eyes faded as she put a hand on Chandra's arm calmly, still looking her in the eyes, but now where the magic once glistened in her irises was now replaced with a look of empathy as she lightly smiled at the woman with hope to comfort her a bit.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"You're very taken by my tail it seems, who would've thought the tough, aloof warrior before me could be defeated by 'divine' curiosity."</span><span style="color: null"> Shion teased a little with Chandra's own wordplay on the train in case any of those not in the loop of Shion's abilities took any suspicion observing the two. Seems she had noticed Chandra's gaze earlier.</span></div>

<br>
<br>
When Morana inquired about Scylla eating eyes, Scylla just carelessly shook her head, as if it wasn’t such a big deal to be bringing up. However, she couldn’t resist the opportunity of entertaining the cyborg, or confusing her further with the bits and pieces of information she’d reveal. “Oh, it’s nothing..” she insisted as the witch picked at her teeth with her purple fingernail. “..now, fried human skin is REALLY the most challenging thing to gulp down!” Scylla would purse her lips as a hand came over them to not reveal the fact she was poking at Morana’s patience. She reminded the witch of a professor from the academy, so square, so formal, precise and to the point. Which was ideal for those seeking to be taught all the intricacies of Magic. But here, it was all a mystery. Who Morana was, her loyalties, and just how far would she be willing to go to get to the bottom of this adventure, remained a mystery. For now, she enjoyed being the ‘class clown’.<br>
<br>
Upon Chandra changing back, Scylla let out a sigh of relief. Then her back straightened suddenly, attentive as Chandra then seemed to either threaten or attempted to intimidate. She might have forgotten a few things, but not this particular mention. Relaxing a bit held back a giggle before leaning her weight to the side, “Well, sugar plum, as I’m sure you remember, I’d be happy to give it willingly!” She snickered a bit, “But.. it won’t be easy!” She rose a tainting index finger which was both a challenge and a dare. Scylla well knew this wasn’t the best time to take her blood, not infront of everyone, and surely not on the eve of their adventure.<br>
<br>
Mimicking then vampires return to formality, Scylla then crossed her arms in the same manner. “Splendid! We could potentially make a trap with your newfound, provocative form!” Although it could be taken as a joke, Scyllas tone, surprisingly wasn’t very funny.<br>
<br>
It was then that she had attempted to stuff a crunchy bar into the halflings mouth but failed as she slipped away from under her legs. Scylla would bend over and see the halffling running past her, getting an upside down view of the room. “Whoa! You’re fast!” She exclaimed before getting up and looking at Cayde, “heh, yeah, sorry..” she held her own shoulder, “..it was an instinct. But.. she totally is involved now, so.. even you have to agree she’s part of this mission now.”<br>
<br>
It was then that Shion would remind Scylla of the earlier blow to the face she received earlier. Somehow, she could still feel the Fox ladies imprinted hand on her cheek, however, she wasn’t just going to belly up this time! She’d stick her tongue out at the fox lady, before pouting and looking away, “Yeah, whatever, your loss!” She said, although deep down, she wanted to pet her tail and make up for everything! (T.T) <br>
<br>
Then the half fling would mention something lewd. “Hey! That’s.. totally inappropriate! I wasn’t trying to ‘gag’ you.. I just simply wanted you to keep it down..” she shrugged, “..it just so happened that a crunchy bar was the closest thing I could find.” She rolled her eyes, “Pervert.”<br>
<br>
<br>
Things then seemed to spiral into a whole different situation where Morana and the halffling were practically defaming one another, mostly to the short ones detriment. Before long they stood there glaring at one another as Scylla looked at everyone else, wondering if they’d do something. Either way, she decided to intervene. “Whoa whoa whoa, so this is all getting a wee bit personal. Although, this.. rat affair is certainly a juicy bit of gossip, as leader of this group I must insist that we tone things down and keep to the matter at hand!”<br>
<br>
Pointing at the halffling suddenly, and speaking loudly enough to likely startle her she began, “YOU! You mentioned you’re getting pay, well, I’d want my crew here to be paid, so if you don’t have any info to contribute then I would suggest you step out of here ASAP! So start talkin’ sister!”<br>
<br>
Then Sophia would appear next to her, prompting the purple witch to lean closer into her whispering voice. “Hm?” She hummed as she listened, “oh.. uh.. did I say that?” She said finally with a nervous chuckle. “I.. I suppose I did, didn't i? Her eyes looking at the others then to Sophia, had she just been caught? “Wait. You’re from-“ suddenly, the weird lonely feeling seemed to break off a piece like an ice berg, was Sophia really from earth? It was then that she extended an invitation to her home. How could she refuse? “You would host someone as.. interesting as me? Really?!” She cleared her throat suddenly, “I mean- of course! I accept your offer.” She smiled a bit, not exactly sure what this was about, but she was hoping to get to know more.</div>

Cayde tried to stifle a sigh as he watched the halfling butt into the room, already picking a fight with Morana. He didn't know how to feel about this. Sure, having another member on the team was always great, <i>especially </i>a local. But valuable or not, there couldn't be any pointless bickering between them. It'd lead to division. Then confusion. Just like how it did in the marshes. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Okay..."</span> </b>Cayde muttered, thinking of what to say next. Don't let history repeat itself, he told himself. Stay objective. Don't pick sides. And forget everything they said about a rat woman...<br>
<br>
Cayde's breathing hitched. <i>Forget everything. </i>The woman they were talking about was not <i>her</i>. It couldn't have been. Kesh was gone. This was simply a coincidence. There was no way she could've been <i>this</i> close. But even those 're-assurances' sounded weak. He'd been wrong before. Wrong about ever seeing friends again. Wrong about getting over that trip. So what if he was wrong here, too? What if Kesh made it back? What if she was <i>really</i> okay? What if this halfing knew where she was?<br>
<br>
What if she was still in the city?<br>
<br>
His eyes landed on the halfing, pupils dilated. He knew how to feel about this now. This woman was valuable. <i>Very </i>valuable. He couldn't mess this up. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Okay, okay, okay, hold on a moment," </b></span>He got between her and Morana, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"I can see you two have some bad blood. You'll have to work it out. But keep in mind you <i>both</i> have a vampire running rampant in <i>your</i> city, that I'm sure <i>both</i> of you want gone, correct?" </span></b>He said, looking between them, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Standing here bickering won't solve that. So all I need is for you two to <i>tolerate</i> each other. Just this once, please," </b></span><br>
<br>
When Scylla stepped in and said her piece about the halfling, Cayde nodded along. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Everyone here plays a role. If you're going to join us, we'll need to know what you can give us." </span></b>He faced Morana, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Morana, I don't want to boot her out just yet. Let's at least hear what she has to say, and <i>then</i> we can all come to a decision," </span></b>He said with a quick, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Whatever happens, happens. I'll get what you whatever you need nonetheless," </b></span><br>
<br>
Finally, his eyes went back to the halfling. He felt his heart skip a beat. Where to start first? <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"First things first, can you at least tell us your name?" </span></b>He took one step, lowering his voice a bit, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"And secondly, can you tell me a little bit more about this rat-woman...?" </span></b>As the words came out, he shook his head. Too direct, he thought. She might get the wrong message. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Not that it's any of my business, but did she have greyish fur? Talk about any potions or anything?" </b></span>He asked, voice expectant, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Did she ever say her name was Kesh?" </b></span></div>

Iberis gave a nod Chandra's way at that with a smile. <span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"That'd be pretty cool if you did, I think it's a totally cool ability." <br>
<br>
"Why yes that is why Morana's here." </span>Iberis replied with a nod toward the new comer. Unfortunately it looked like she found out rather quickly just how badly Mr.S was faring with his memory, at the very least they had retrieved him successfully even if it had been completely by accident at that.<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"Truthfully we were pretty surprised to find Sverre  too, he was sort of just laying around inactive, and as you can tell..yeah his memories are muddled right now for whatever reason, all we know is that whatever happened hints to him having done it to himself."</span><br>
<br>
What Iberis had not been expecting was the rapidly developing back and forth between Morana and this person, since Iberis didn't really know what the story was there, something about getting robbed by a rodent person after having relations..that was a lot of information just to be thrown about so casually, was all Iberis could think. Presuming it was a [Beast] and non she supposed love was still love in this context even if Morana sounded far from being impressed.<br>
<br>
Seeing Scylla speak more like she was the number one leader was refreshing to see at least attempting to get order over this situation as well as advocating for the groups pay among other leaderly things.<br>
<br>
Then Cayde came in yet again and only further proved his value to her in how he immediately went into peer meditation mode between these two. He made an appeal to logic which was fairly compelling. As entertaining as it was for Iberis to see all these people about talking about some very off topic things with eccentricities here and there, even if that bit with the halfling describing the messing about Scylla was doing as bedroom actions was rather humorous to Iberis,  there was serious business to attend to, the vampire was still out and about and it was doing awful things to people from the sound of things.<br>
<br>
Cayde was also reasonable in his requests to Iberis, though she did not entirely understand why information on the rat person was essential. From the looks of things the wisest option was to get the Halfling on their side regardless of what Morana said about personal things, as that even if factual had no baring on the halfing's ability to assist them with the current major problem at hand.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"I agree with Cayde, I think it's best we hear out what she can do, it's a bit hard to pass a value judgment without even knowing the skillset."</span> Iberis backed Cayde's dialogue up.</div>

Truth be told, her approach of Shion had been another test. At least to a degree. Shion might've confirmed she wouldn't work <i>against</i> her, but Kalina still wasn't entirely sure how much Shion would work <i>with</i> her. The fact that Shion took them without question and was quick to pick up on the why/how of it told her enough. Shion had passed this 'test' with flying colours as well. <br>
<br>
As expected, a voice could soon be heard in her mind. However, the answer was... shocking. This meant Shion knew even more than all her friends did. She wasn't sure how she felt about that. Especially her past life made her feel ashamed of having been so weak and worthless. It wasn't something she was eager to talk about. Even Sophia only learned parts of her past today, that's how close she'd been keeping it.<br>
<br>
After Shion said all she had to say, Kalina looked her in the eyes to see if she'd use her telepathy again to allow Kalina to apply with her thoughts. Upon hopefully getting the hint and reading her mind, Kalina would reply. <span style="color: #800000"><i>'It's odd to think someone knows that much about me after just meeting them, especially with how secretive I've lived my life here. Now that you know this much, I should also tell you why I'm here. I was told the Vampire Hunters might know more about the past of this body and might be able to undo the vampirism. However, as the name of their group suggests, it's a big risk. I hope that helping them deal with the other vampire will show them that I'm good enough to help out, rather than having them attempt to kill me.'</i></span><br>
<br>
As for Shion's more public reply, Kalina figured she could have a lot of fun with it. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“How can I not like something that's as warm, comforting and soothing as it's owner?”</b></span> She said with a genuine smile. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“With your permission, milady~”</b></span> She asked, hands outstretched towards that tail. They'd cooled down again by now, but calling Iberis over again might be a bit much. Besides, perhaps it'd not be that bad... although. She had another idea upon seeing Scylla's reaction. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Come to think of it, I believe Scylla needs redemption. I'm sure someone as gracious as you would forgive her past offensiveness and allow her a chance to redeem herself, should she ask for it, would you not?”</b></span> She'd ask Shion loud enough for Scylla to overhear as well. She had to get Scylla back for teasing her with the promise of blood again.<br>

Morana was the first to calm down. After all, Cayde had been put in command of her and he was the one telling her to hold on. As before, she was royally ignoring Scylla again, especially after the 'human skin' comment. Pretending Scylla didn't exists was going to be healthier for her sanity. She was silent for a bit, at the mention of bad blood. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“Bad blood is a big word. She's just... difficult to work with.”</b></span><br>

<span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“Right back at you!”</b></span> She called back, not missing a single beat. A big smile formed when she got asked what she could give them. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“I'm quick, stealthy and agile, but most of all... I've got a dubious enough reputation to do what those two can't~ You want to go meet that thrall, right? I was hoping to do the same! To see if I could infiltrate by pretending I want to join their side.”</b></span><br>
<br>
Morana was quick to reply. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“Your dubious reputation isn't something you should brag about.”</b></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“We can't all be as straight-laced like you, Hound. Just know that I am completely loyal to Widersia, whether it's against The See or East Empire on the outside, or monsters on the inside. I won't let my loyalty to my nation be questioned.”</b></span> That was more serious than she'd sounded thus far.<br>
<br>
She then turned to Cayde. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“I'm Kelsey.”</b></span> His second question took her off guard for a moment, then she smiled smugly at him. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“Oh, I see, I see, someone else is after some smooth rat-tail~ I can guarantee you those are fun to play with with when you get them all oiled up~ “</b></span> It was clear why Kelsey had a dubious reputation.<br>
<br>
However, when he started naming details and gave a name, she was surprised. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“Now there's a fun coincidence~ Did I run into someone's angry ex again? Listen, it was just some casual fun, that's all.”</b></span> She didn't sound serious when she said that. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“Anyhow... let me think... she was talking a lot, but I wasn't listening too much. Got no clue where she got the energy from to keep chatting after all the fun we had...  Ah, by the way, she totally drugged one of the Second Breakfast Club's regulars and robbed him, so you might want to help her not get arrested if you find her, although I think she got away with ease~ I think she did mention leaving behind some dude and feeling bad about it, but not blaming him..? I don't know, I was with her for the fun, not the life stories.”</b></span><br>
<br>
She then turned to Scylla. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“You've got a lot of talk for someone trying to gag me in public~ Who's the real pervert there? First you claim I'm totally part of the group, now you're telling me to contribute or get out? You've gotta make up your mind sister~”</b></span> She responded to Scylla, keeping up with the witches' pace with ease.<br>
<br>
Morana grumbled. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“As if one of them wasn't bad enough...”</b></span><br>
<br>
If Kelsey heard it, she wasn't bothered. What Iberis said, however, did grab her attention. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“He did it to himself?!? Wait... that... might make sense. He was pretty tight with his team. Seeing them die would probably make him lose it. Is that what happened?”</b></span><br>
<br>
She suddenly realised this was her chance. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“Well, it seems like we have a plan! Morana and Sverre will stay here, whilst I'll join your group to go meet the thrall. Miss totally-not-a-real-monster over there tricks the thrall, we figure out where the vampire's at through her, sell that information to the Vampire Hunters for some extra coin, then join them for even more coin when getting rid of the vampire~ Right? Let's go!”</b></span> With this plan, she'd probably earn her hand back in no-time.</div>

After Kelsey described the woman, Cayde's hand covered his mouth, eyes wider than ever. It wasn't a coincidence. Every last detail sounded <i>exactly</i> like Kesh. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Oh, my god..."</span> </b>He raised his hands to his head, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Oh my god!"</span> </b>He felt his heart race, a flourish of joy and shock coursing through his body. He'd been wrong all this time. All the sleepless nights, the deprecating thoughts, the excuses were for nothing. She made it back. She'd been <i>here</i>. Kesh was okay!<br>
It took a moment for him to register the rest of Kelsey's words. The shock on Cayde's face only dimmed a little. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"W-wait, S-She did </span><i><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">what?"</span> </i></b>He asked, letting his jaw fall open. He paused, looked around the room, and laughed. <i>Of course</i>, the <i>first</i> thing she did after returning to the mainland was get into even <i>more</i> trouble. That's Kesh, alright. She hadn't changed in the slightest. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"HA! Wait, no, I'm sorry. It's not funny,"</span> </b>Cayde said between breaths, wiping tears from his eyes, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"It's just that she was... I mean, <i>is </i>my apprentice. She just <i>loved</i> making those little concoctions, and I always said the <i>second </i>she'd used them, I'd be the one bailing her outta jail..."</span></b> He shook his head wistfully, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Don't worry. When I find her, I'll set her straight. Guarantee you that," </span></b><br>
<br>
He knew that was only a half-truth. Sure, she would know <i>just</i> how much worry she caused, but there would be <i>plenty</i> of bomb-fishing after. And boar-roasting. And mushroom tasting. She'd like that.<br>
<br>
After that news, a broad smile formed on Cayde's face. The thought of knowing Kesh was <i>somewhere</i> on the continent was incredibly invigorating. As if the world were lifted from his shoulder. Zane would have to know <i>immediately</i>, he thought. Just as soon as this investigation finished. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Alright. I think we could fit you in,"</span> </b>He told Kelsey, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"As soon as we get our info from the thrall, I can trust you'll be able to sneak away and relay it back to the Vampire Hunters,"</span> </b>He looked to Morana and Sverre next, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"You two should probably wait for us at the tavern. We'll all meet up there when we're done," </span></b><br>
<br>
He held up one finger, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"One more thing, though. It's better if we have you listen in on our conversation with the thrall. We'll do the talking, and you'll be hiding nearby, and when we learn where the vampire might be, you get out of there," </span></b></div>

Sophia stepped back and followed the conversation looking from one person to another. As the conversation came to a close, she stepped forward, moving in close to the halfling. She leaned down, a small smile on her face as she said, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"You know, I could help you with your hand problem. I've made the same offer to Morana with giving her an upgrade, but I am a rather skilled artisan, and I've made arms before. I can make it mithril and enchant it as well, if you'd like, and my arms come with feeling if you would like. It's a perk of being a magic item creator in addition to a blacksmith and enchanter." </span><br>
<br>
She gave the girl a winning smile before standing up, looking at the others and saying, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"I'll go with Chandra. I'll do my best to take the Thrall out if things go sideways. Scylla, think you'd be up to joining us? I have something I'd like to talk with you and Chandra about."</span>​</div></div>

Seeing Morana and Kelsey stabilize to a more reasonable degree put Iberis a bit more at ease, as she lessened her grip on her catalyst in response. She also listened to the conversation that was ongoing, not having a ton to add herself at first, and just by listening she picked up on quite a few details. So It was likely according to Kelsey that Mr.S had wiped himself perhaps in response to seeing his comrades get slain. That was a  feasible possibility but it wasn't exactly something they could easily prove unless the construct remembered himself and told them, what if he learned something important and it had been a defense mechanism so the enemy couldn't get it? Wasn't that another possibility? Iberis wasn't really sure, but she did know that they should probably keep the memory situation on watch incase anything useful crops up.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"Definitely sounds like another likely possibility, he was..less than happy seeing the state of his allies, but really..no one can blame him."</span> Iberis replied to Kelsey <br>
<br>
Besides learning Kelsey's name, Iberis also learned from Cayde her internal question from before about why the [beast] was of interest to him,so apparently this person was an apprentice of his? Sounded like whatever apprentice this was, had certainly been getting into some..interesting shenanigans to say the least between the encounters with Kelsey, and apparently committing crimes. <br>
<br>
Regardless of the eccentricities of Kelsey  she did sound like to Iberis that she knew what she was talking about, if she was up to questionable activity  then that probably meant that she did indeed know her way around well, Iberis knew from experience what was like on the streets, Kelsey was exactly the type of person in that setting who she'd want on her side, but never as an enemy, so as far as she was concerned it was a win to recruit Kelsey at this point particularly when Morana's objections had felt superficial and personal at best.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"I think I'll do what I can to support..uh, wherever It's deemed I'm the most helpful." </span>Iberis said to no one in particular when some started saying what they'd do. She was pretty content filling in a role that was appropriate to her skill set and just doing what she could, as she was becoming fonder of Cayde and of course was of Scylla already, she was inclined to trust their judgment.</div>

Shion simply nodded to Chandra about what her mental state informed her of. Good, she had even more information to help sell that she was really supposed to be here. She smirked when Chandra tried to ask to pet her tail again.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Trying to butter me up, are we? No, that is too crass."</span> Shion shook her head.<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)"> "Chandra...thank you. I will allow you to later, but I like having my wits about me during moments like this."</span> Shion stepped forward while everyone was discussing the plan and looked over at Cayde.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Cayde, I agree with your plan...save for one little caveat." </span>Shion folded her arms as her tail swayed about behind her while her gaze shifted to Kelsey.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"I'm not exactly a fan of Kelsey's little plot to maximize her profits. According to Chima, these hunters have been disorganized from the moment they showed up, and that means a lack of discipline. If you take money to tell them everything we learn, and then offer to assist them, frankly, that sounds like an easy way to whet some daggers that I'm not fond of getting put in my back."</span> Shion sighed as her arms unfolded and looked back at Cayde as she took a couple paces closer to them.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"If we insist on her help, we should let everyone in this room hear that Kelsey won't sell anything she learns to those vampires. After all, if she tries to lie her way through it later, she'll have plenty of witnesses otherwise."</span> Shion looked to Morana.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Since she seems as dubious as even she claims, wouldn't you agree, Morana?" </span>Shion asked, smirking to the cyborg. She then looked to Iberis with a smile.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"After how you handled yourself in that last fight, I have no reason to think you should be anywhere but with us, Iberis." </span>She stated with confidence before she looked to Scylla and Sophia. She didn't doubt Scylla's abilities in a fight, but her ability to gain key information and not give things away with a slip of the tongue was...a gamble. She wanted to suggest she go with Morana and Sverre, but then she realized there'd be a good chance that'd result in one or more casualties putting Scylla in the same room as Morana with no one here to balance the witch out.<br>
<br>
She resigned to keeping holding her words back before looking to Chandra. She also wanted to keep these hunters as happy as possible to help Chandra, Kelsey acting on her greed would only make them annoyed at the group at best in her eyes, and losing a good source of info for Chandra at worst. She focused her attention forward again to see what everyone would say.</div>

She felt genuinely upset for a little, when her compliment to Shion seemed to be misunderstood. Then she gave Shion an equally genuine smile when the latter did a 180 and thanked her. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“You're welcome, I'm glad it was someone like you.”</b></span> She couldn't add the 'what' in public, but the sentence would've ended with 'that peered into my deepest darkest secrets' should Shion still be mind-reading. Either way, this was good. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Of course~”</b></span> She took the refusal rather lightly, but then realised something. She had to keep her wits about her... wait... so like... was petting her tail..? Kalina felt some of Sophia's blood run towards her cheeks, making her blush ever so slightly. Was it this level of distracting to Shion to have her tail be pet? Had Kalina been misunderstanding the 'severity' of what she'd been requesting all that much? This was a bit more than just like fluffy a handshake... wasn't it?<br>
<br>
That said, she followed suit, focussing on their planning as well. Time to be serious again. She was surprised when she heard Cayde break out in laughter. What had she missed? She focussed on his words and quickly put them into context. That rat he'd been with in the marshes, apparently she was alright and still getting herself into trouble. She neither hated nor liked Kesh. Perhaps if she'd been able to interact with Kesh as herself more, rather than in her 'Chandra' act, she'd have gotten along better. Either way, she was happy. She stood up and headed for Cayde, knowing how much this must mean to him. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Hey, I'm glad your apprentice is okay. I'm happy for you~”</b></span> She said, putting a hand on his shoulder. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Although she was crafty, so it's not too much of a surprise, right? I bet she's up to even more antics right as we speak~”</b></span> Then she'd add, at a more hushed tone. <span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="color: #778899"><b>“I'm sorry... I didn't realise how much this was still bothering you. I'm truly glad that burden has been lifted for you.”</b></span></span> <br>
<br>
For a moment, she thought about what she heard Iberis say, then she made up her mind. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“You should stick close to me. You're experienced with undead and monsters, you've been able to deal with them before. If anyone has a chance at convincingly playing the act alongside me, it'd be you. Besides, after what we've been through together, having you nearby would be comforting, especially when dealing with even more undead.”</b></span> She felt a little bad for asking Iberis to join in with the danger, but not enough to abstain from doing so.<br>
<br>
She then turned to Cayde again. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“The same would go for you. You two are the likeliest to be able to keep up appearances.”</b></span> Then she turned towards Scylla, Sophia and Shion. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“No offence, but perhaps it might be best for you three to stay on the background and not say too much. We don't know what magic or rules this Thrall operates under, so anything said might trigger her to attack. The less we say and the more we make her talk, the better it'll be for us.”</b></span><br>

<span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“Bhahaaha!”</b></span> She burst out in laughter at Cayde's promise to make Kesh better her life. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“Dude, I've spent one dinner and a single fun night with her and I can already tell you, you'd sooner turn a [monster] into a saint than set that one straight. Just make sure she doesn't get into trouble too deeply and you'd already do a fine enough job.”</b></span><br>
<br>
She nodded at his approval. Good, good. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“That'll be easy, for sure.”</b></span> However, she raised an eyebrow at his next proposal. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“That's a really, really big risk. If I'm hiding nearby and get spotted, the Thrall will assume some sort of set-up and attack everyone in the worst case scenario or it'll order you guys to attack me to prove your loyalty in a best case scenario. I may be stealthy, but we don't know if she has any supernatural senses or the likes. If I'm visible from the get-go, we'll be able to just say I'm trying to change sides from the get-go.”</b></span><br>
<br>
She perked up at Sophia's suggestion. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“Oho, that sounds great! I've had enchanted mithril before. Started off with just some super-strength, had some penetrating power at one point, but the best ones I've had so far were one that worked like a full-on flamethrower and one that allowed me to create barriers and nullify magic.”</b></span> She paused for a bit, debating the next part. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“Feeling... that'd be fun in the bedroom, but not in battle. So I guess I'd skip out on that one... Although, on the topic of bedroom... Those are some lovely arms you've got~ Let me know if you ever want to work them on something more lively than that craft of yours~”</b></span> She added with a wink, but with her quickly introduced track record, she likely meant it in full.  <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“Anyhow, what's the price going to  be at? Unless mister … Cayde, was it? Unless Cayde here refunds what his apprentice stole from me, I'll be short on money for the foreseeable future.”</b></span><br>
<br>
She then turned to Shion. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“Oh, come on, don't be a spoilsport~”</b></span> She sighed at Shion's reasoning, it wasn't... totally wrong. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“Well, I guess I'd be a lot less down on money if the lovely armed miss hooks me up, so I'd be down to wave goodbye the more profitable business plans!”</b></span> Honestly, she wasn't in it for the money all that much, she just wanted a second hand back in working order. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“HEY! I HEARD THAT!”</b></span> She shouted at Shion. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“I may be dubious, but I'm not disloyal. I act in the best interest of Widersia and letting those monsters roam free is clearly a danger. I'd be seen dead before handing vampires any information.”</b></span> She was genuinely offended by that remark. <br>

Morana scratched her head with a mechanical finger. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“As much as I'd love to say otherwise, I'd have to admit she likely isn't lying. She's done all sorts of shady things, but never against Widersia's interests. Just... shady stuff.”</b></span><br>
<br>
Kelsey perked up at that. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“Oh~ I knew you'd eventually start liking me Morry, so... About my suggestion from way back...”</b></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“Absolutely not.”</b></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“Fine...”</b></span><br>
<br>
Morana sighed, then turned to Cayde. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“With all due respect, would it not be better if we at least waited nearby? So that we can help out should things go wrong? I mean... if it's your commandment, I'll obey, of course, but...”</b></span> She was clearly not liking the idea of being left out at all. However, there was a bit of eagerness in her voice. She likely hoped for things to go wrong so she could fight the thrall. Bringing her closer might make her endanger the mission overall.<br>

After overhearing the others, she spoke up again. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“With all due respect, I have the best shot at fooling the thrall with my disguise, Cayde, Iberis and perhaps Kelsey have a good shot at being able to play along. Scylla, Shion and Sophia might not stand out too much if they try to mostly stay silent and would be enough back-up should a fight break out. I don't think it's smart to involve even more people directly.”</b></span><br>
<br>
She wasn't in charge here, but that she had a pretty strong preference. That said, she figured she'd run down her plan one more time. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“As Yurena, I'll come to the thrall and claim to bring in new folk wishing to become vampires. If she asks, I'd prefer if Cayde could be the first to step forwards. Ideally we'll figure out a way to make her ask Iberis if she's still suspicious... perhaps Iberis can pretend to still be doubtful at first? Either way, I'll try to get her talking about the vampire, their goals. I'll try to slowly gain more and more useful information to see how much I can push it. Perhaps I can even find a way to ask how she's controlled by pretending I want a thrall of my own... I'll... I'll likely be saying some pretty vile stuff if needed, so I apologise in advance. Know what I won't mean any of what I might end up needing to say.”</b></span> She wanted to make that one as clear as possible in advance. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: #778899"><b>“If all of you could focus on trying to gather as much information as possible from her replies... actually, Shion, if you could use your telepathy to relay any thoughts without her knowing, that would be ideal. Otherwise, I'd just need you all to stand by and be on guard. We don't know how the thrall fights, so in a worst case, we'll trigger something that gets her to prepare her attack without us knowing and she'll just play along with me until it's too late for us.”</b></span><br>
<br>
That was the most Kalina had said in a fair while and she knew this didn't exactly fit 'Chandra', but she felt responsible for taking a bit more of a leading position after getting distracted by blood, tails and trauma. She'd been the one to ask them over, so the least she could do was try to prove some of her worth. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“That would only leave the question, where do we look for her? She might well be at the factory we found Sverre by now, as she was hunting him. Or perhaps she's elsewhere in Third Factory Street? There were some other suspicious places there...”</b></span> She wasn't sure where to go first, although she was biased... which she should probably admit. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“I'm... not sure if I can overcome the... trauma well enough to act well, so... I'd suggest looking for her elsewhere first. Even if she is hunting down Sverre, it wouldn't guarantee she's right there, right?”</b></span></div>

Iberis lit up upon hearing Shion's praise like that, as she gave her a warm smile. "I'm glad that my best is paying off then. However I will  also admit it was quite nice having you there with me." Iberis replied happily.<br>
Iberis turned to look at Chandra when she told her she should stick with her in all of this. That wasn't unreasonable given what Iberis had learned from Auldlich, she knew a great deal more about undead than before, as well as having fought against monsters and the like in that other world. She was there to support Chandra, and she had no qualms about getting involved in combat or need be. In addition she felt like she probably did have a chance of putting up an act when it came down to it, she did have a deception skill even if it wasn't as impressive as Chandra's there she could certainly tap into it.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"Not a problem then, I'll stick close, I agree, I think  It's where I think I'll be the most use for this operation. I can definitely play it cool too, I'm confident enough of that." </span>She reaffirmed, giving Chandra a bit of a smile, just to further solidly that she wasn't upset by this, even if it put her at greater personal risk. Iberis's mindset had shifted a bit more collectively now that Renee was gone, the force which  promoted  her self focus on becoming more powerful even at the expense of others becoming greatly reduced after seeing what happened to Renee in the end.<br>
<br>
Iberis had also overheard the other's interactions. Shion brought up a good point which was not lost on Iberis, as again if someone had the certain skill set which Kelsey possessed then it wasn't unreasonable to assume she may just decide to use them for primarily self serving purposes down the line, such as profiting in the way Shion described. and upon hearing Chandra respond, she still felt that Chandra was making some solid judgments about who should be where and doing what. It would be ideal if Shion could use her power to assist that way, since as far as Iberis could tell Shion perhaps wasn't up to full power after coming from her past world, that was just a hypothesis from Iberis naturally. <br>
<br>
Since Iberis wasn't really in a leadership position to direct, she figured the others would sort the construct pair, in which Morana brought up a point for consideration as far as their total fire power was concerned as a group.<br>
<br>
Then there was the matter of the later part of Chandra inquiring where they should head to check things out.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"Maybe we should check out some of the other areas on the street then, I think it'd be better if we were as full capacity as possible when we're searching out threats like these." </span>Iberis commented, feeling bad that Chandra still didn't feel great about the notion of going back after that episode she had. It would be pretty disasterous if the hostiles showed up just as Chandra was having problems.</div>

Cayde nodded to Kalina as she approached him, his eyes lighting up as she spoke. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Thank you. You don't know how good this feels,"</span> </b>He said warmly, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Been thinkin' about it so long... God...,"</span> </b>He rolled his shoulders. They felt lighter. <i>Everything</i> felt lighter. Even his mind felt significantly clearer. No chattering bugs skittering about in sight. Just the cool, enveloping feeling of well-needed closure. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Feels like I can do <i>anything</i> now,"</span> </b>He stared down at his hands, clenching them, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Heh, feels I'm the old me again,"</span> </b>Then, he shook his head with an incredulous chuckle, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"But enough about my little epiphany, yeah?"</span> </b>He smiled, <b>"<span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">We've got a city to save. Let's get back to it." </span></b><br>
<br>
Doing just that, Cayde turned back to the group right as Shion gave her doubts about Kelsey. His eyes flicked between the two as the halfling yelled back at her. Not great. Maybe he needed to say something. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Shion didn't mean any offense, Kelsey. She's just being careful. Wants to make sure this goes as smoothly as possible, y'know?"</span></b> He assured, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Look, you being here is all the proof we need of your loyalty. The city will be thanking you for all the work you get done here,"</b></span> Cayde folded his hands behind his back, a prospective tone evident in his voice, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Plus, when everything is over, I'll be sure to put in a good word to the baron for you. Maybe he'll help with your compensation?"</span></b><br>
<br>
Then, Cayde shifted his attention to Morana. He folded his arms as he pondered her request. Having more backup didn't sound <i>too</i> awful. But it'd be all over if the thrall even got a whiff of them. A risk that couldn't be taken. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"<b>I'm confident we'll be diplomatic enough to deal with the thrall without backup," </b></span>He said, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"There's also a big risk with bringing backup, too. If the thrall suspects anyone else is nearby, the whole plan might fall apart." </b></span>Cayde gave a brief nod, but it didn't feel so sure. Saying <i>no</i> to Morana felt wrong. But maybe <i>this</i> was a time to stay firmly objective. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"When we're done with the thrall, and we all assemble to go after the vampire, I'm sure we'll see her again," </b></span>He gestured to Morana's arm, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"She won't be happy. But I'll be sure <i>you</i> are the first one to take care of that." </span></b><br>
<br>
With both promises made, Cayde listened on as Kalina listed off the rest of the plan. He felt tense once she mentioned he'd be on the front lines. It felt like ages since he'd tried convincing an enemy. What'd happened if he messed up here? Cayde shook the thought away. He was still alive. That meant he must've done something right. This meeting would go no differently. Surely. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Alright. Me, Kelsey, and Iberis. Sounds like a plan," </b></span>He said, glancing between Kelsey and Iberis. Two surprises just waiting to happen. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"With a trio like this, how could we fail?" </b></span><br>
<br>
He nodded with Iberis' suggestion, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"I agree. Maybe we should snoop around those abandoned buildings we saw," </b></span>Then, he turned to address the entire party, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Before we go, let's keep in mind we <i>do </i>have some leverage on Sverre's location. If the thrall gets a bit iffy, I'll mention we <i>might</i> know where he is. Maybe that'll get her talking," </span></b></div>

Scylla flinched a bit at being called out on her flighty demeanor but the one named Kelsey. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“HEY! I’m allowed to change my mind! I’m the LEADER here after all!”</span> She pointed an accusing finger.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Grr!”</span><br>
<br>
With all the talking and bickering however Scyllas gaze would go from one group to the other, and back and forth again. This halfling was totally taking her spotlight. The witch would cross her arms and sigh as she continued to be the center of attention. After some time, she had taken a seat and further more accidentally dozed off.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Zzz... smooch?.. zzz.. I’m not that easy professor..”</span> she’d mutter in between soft high pitched snores. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“zzz.. yes, my hair is naturally golden.. zzz..”</span> then suddenly waking up to the sound of her name she woke up a bit startled. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“huh? oh! Present!”</span> She exclaimed raising her hand, then a bit embarrassingly giggled before standing up. She stared a bit blankly then, before nodding at Sophia.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Right. Split up into teams, exquisite idea!”</span> She said holding up an index finger happily.<br>
<br>
Then she looked on hopefully as Chandra then expressed how much of a giveaway she would be, she frowned and put her hands on her hips.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Now wait just a minute! I’m the most discrete, most prudent and responsible there ever was!” </span>She stared at the disguised vampire in disbelief for a moment before crossing her arms looking away, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“Oh I suppose you’re right.” </span>She admitted as she kicked the ground a bit.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Sticks and stones may break my bones but your words will never hurt me.” </span>She rolled her eyes at the cliche spewed out of her mouth, but she then sighed shallowly. It was really quite difficult to offend the bubbly witch.<br>
<br>
As for the plan that was being set in motion,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Well, I’d say we let Mr. S hang about on Factory Street and we just standby and hide until this thrall shows up. However, I do like the idea of being able to get some details regarding its master. And uhm, well, Mr.S memory is still a work a in progress isn’t it Mr.S?”</span> She said giving the construct a wink.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Anyway, I’m not a power hungry leader type, cause ew. So I’ll just go where I’d be the most useful. Mr.S and me can kick butt!!”</span></div>

Sophia paused, her eyebrows raising at the response. A small smirk passed over her face as one of her claws lifted up and tapped her chin with it. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Hmm. Well, I do have a love, but if she doesn't mind it, I would love giving you a bit of service outside of the one I'm paid for~"</span> She gave her a small wink, a claw reaching down and pressing under the halfling's chin, lifting it up to stare into her eyes. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"But, of course, you'll have to ask her~"</span> She tilted her head towards the monster pretending to be human pretending to be monster, before giving a small giggle. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"I'll be waiting for her response~" </span><br>
<br>

Shion caught traces of Chandra's thoughts for her appreciation, and simply glanced a smile her way.<br>
<br>
She sighed soon after as she listened to Kelsey's reply and Cayde's attempt to defuse their quarrel. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Very well, I trust we all want the same thing then. Chima didn't exactly give a loyal first impression for the Baron's information network if she's ready to put Morana in harms way with zero remorse."</span><br>
<br>
Perhaps she had overstepped her concerns, but she meant every word. Chima was fully willing to put Morana in direct danger to whatever buyers would be interested before giving them vital information, Morana was a killer that she had gained a small amount of respect for even if looking at her was still somewhat difficult, but both her first impressions gave her no good answer why should she trust Kelsey. Morana's word was all she could go by at this point, if it was up to her she'd still say no. She let it go, and started listening to Chandra...who immediately revealed her powers of telepathy to those in the room who didn't know yet.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)"><i>Well, that secret's out, can't hide that anymore...I suppose I should be compliant, it wouldn't do me any good to lecture the halfling on withholding information and hold my own back. </i></span>Shion thought to herself as she listened to Chandra's plan closely. Her arm raised slightly while her other hand rested on her hip as she responded.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Keeping back and using my telepathy I'm afraid won't do much good. I'll need to be close to feel any of her thoughts, otherwise it just feels like an abstract river around my mind I can't make heads or tails of. Being silent will be easy, it'll help me focus on her mind rather than my words."</span><br>
<br>
She looked to Iberis with a smile when she spoke confidently about where she'd serve best as well as where to look. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Don't worry, sounds like I'll be beside you if your confidence wavers at all, Iberis."</span><br>
<br>
She then turned her head towards Cayde as he spoke, and she happened to agree with him completely this time. She decided to back him up with Morana. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"There will be plenty to kill in the finale, why not use the second act to whet your appetite? Hunting when hungry is more thrilling than when full."</span><br>
<br>
Shion had been a kitsune for many years, hunting was something she did often. Humans were never on her menu, killing them was more out of hatred than hunger. Plenty or game fell to her claws though, plenty of first bites after outwitting her prey in the chase had certainly fueled her adrenaline many times in her life.<br>
<br>
She then turned her head slightly when a certain witch started throwing a mild temper tantrum. Shion was starting to question just how much of a liability Scylla could be to this task. She held no ill will towards the witch, but she definitely left a varying impression on herself, Morana, and Kelsey since meeting them. Sverre registering her as leader was also potentially concerning too, but not yet at least. She seemed surprisingly complacent about the plan though.<br>
<br>
Then she heard Sophia and Kelsey's exchange, and it raised one of Shion's eyebrows considerably from its typical placement. That was an...interesting way to view one's love for someone. She wasn't even sure if she found it wrong or not, it just...she could never see herself consider such a possibility. She shook her head and let Sophia be herself. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Interesting..."</span> She didn't even hear the word escape her lips, but it was almost instinct with how genuine it sounded.</div>

She was glad to hear the others agree with the plan. In particular Iberis smiling at her was so adorable she had to resist going in for another hug and tried her best to just focus on staying on topic. She also heard some others agree on where to go next and while she didn't know if it was out of pity or if they bought the excuse, she was certainly happy with it. She was also truly happy with Cayde's reply. Having him at his best gave a bit more confidence for this mission. <br>
<br>
That said, with their plans being set on, she figured she'd best get more into the part she'd prepared for herself, so she headed for a corner of the room and took off her [Heavy Armour B] and her clothes, then used her alternate identity.<br>

She soon rummaged through her backpack to get an outfit out that'd fit 'Yurena' a lot more (Disguise F) and put it on. It was definitely not the type of thing she'd typically wear, but well... She'd made this alternate identity the way it was for a reason, so she'd pull through with it. This should make her even more convincing to the thrall, or so she hoped. <span style="color: #C71585"><b>“Alright, I'm ready. Ah, right, we might want to avoid any busy roads and places while I'm in this form. I'd rather not have any confusion arise.”</b></span> She said, turning back to face the others in her new (now full) disguise.<br>
<br>
Upon Shion's reply she shook her head. <span style="color: #C71585"><b>“No, not hers. I meant between us. You'd be able to discuss a plan together without her hearing it, right? Should things go wrong.”</b></span> That was the main reason she'd mentioned it, as it was a solid back-up. They could plot out an escape, attack or other move simply by having Shion in the group. Such a power shouldn't be ignored, especially not in case Kalina's original plan wouldn't work out.<br>

Cayde's words made her calm down a bit. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“Fine, fine.”</b></span> She uttered back, not sounding entirely convinced. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“I doubt the baron will ever pay me though... would be fun if he did...”</b></span> She mumbled afterwards. <br>
<br>
She then turned to Scylla with a questioning look. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“You're... the leader?”</b></span> Genuine surprise filled her voice. Then she looked at the others as if they were collectively sharing a single braincell, only to shake her head and figure it'd best be ignored.<br>
<br>
She gave Sophia a knowing smile when Sophia mentioned her condition. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“So you got yourself a mistress~ Good going! I'll ask if she wants in while at it~”</b></span> She stated, having come to her own conclusions pretty quickly and easily. For better or worse.<br>

She didn't like being left out, but... she couldn't argue with their reasoning. First of all, due to it being a solid argument. Secondly, due to Cayde being put in charge of her. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“Very well.”</b></span> She simply replied, not wanting to make a bigger deal out of this... until she heard Scylla. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“By the gods, have you not been given a brain underneath that hat of yours? Everyone just discussed how bad of an idea it is to bring that fool! Believe me, I want to be fighting more than anyone, but I'd be fucked to be sent off due to you guys wanting to try tricking her first only for you to ruin it by bringing along Sverre and fighting her without me. Either we'll both go and we just fuck her up or you tell that brain-damaged fool to hold off as well.”</b></span> Some of her [Bloodlusted] parts sounded through again, with how eager she was to go after the thrall.<br>

She was surprised when the halfling approached her and... couldn't really follow along with her offer. Truth be told, Kalina was extremely inexperienced. She barely knew what this halfling was talking about. She'd learned to be flirty in this life. She'd learned that drinking blood directly could make her feel... things. Good things. She'd also learned that she somehow enjoyed Sophia's reaction to being hurt by her. That was about all she knew about these things and that already felt like 'a lot' to her at times. That, of course, wasn't something she'd ever admit. Especially now that she was trying to get her Yurena act on, she needed to sound like she knew what she was talking about, even if she didn't know at all. <br>

That'd sound like she knew what was going on without having to actually know it. Good. Well, it's not like she didn't know at all. She had some fair ideas of what this was about, she just... had no clue what to think about those or how to act on it. Drinking blood directly was one thing. Hurting Sophia a little another. What this halfling seemed to be implying was several levels beyond her scope right now.<br>

Kelsey, a little disappointed, shrugged. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“Well, let me know if you change your mind~”</b></span> She then turned to Sophia. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“We're good! Got a good after-party to look forwards to after dealing with this thrall now!”</b></span><br>

By the time they arrived, it was dark and quiet in Third Factory Street. Most buildings were deserted and closed up. A few were still open, including the factory from before. There was also still the other suspicious buildings, most importantly one at the end of a path leading to the back to some sort of 'Aquaculture Labs' that'd been on the radar prior.</div>

Hearing Cayde's reassurance made Iberis feel good.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"Of course, with all we have, we'll definitely succeed" </span>She reaffirmed Cayde's optimism, saying it as if there was no chance of failure. Iberis looking more determined now.<br>
<br>
Iberis lit up a bit more when Shion mentioned that she'd be beside her. Even though she hadn't known Shion all that long in the grand scheme of things she couldn't help but feel safer having her there then compared to not, she had been quite kind and even after Iberis had seen all that imagery she had gone through, and the issues Shion had with humans, she was still there working through it all. <span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"Thanks..Shion." </span>She replied softly.<br>
<br>
The following events seemed pretty standard to Iberis, Kalina not wanting to take extra risks with non group members seeing her in her Yurena form was understandable. When Iberis heard Kelsey comment about the Mistress business she couldn't help but blush a bit as that was a far bit even farther then she was expecting to hear Kelsey talk about, while the suggestive talk had been funny at first, this was just giving Iberis second hand embarrassment. The only reason she even knew what Kelsey was referring to was because of what an avid reader Iberis had become when she learned how, and it sounded like there was a misunderstanding that Iberis had no desire to get caught up in explaining happening there.<br>
<br>
Kelsey's bewilderment wasn't the most unfounded for why Scylla was designated leader from an outsider perspective, but Iberis did have faith that Scylla was capable for these sorts of roles, she had been with her since she arrived at the academy and Scylla had always been able to rise the occasion when things got difficult and complicated.<br>
<br>
Then there was Morana who wasn't the most pleased at Scylla evidently it seemed, but it also seemed that part of that beyond the danger of bringing a compromised Mr.S was that there was the risk of her missing out on the action, this was not lost on Iberis. Again she felt that Scylla just needed to be given a chance to shine like she usually did when it mattered most.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"Hey. Scylla has been pivotal in past important escapades some being life or death for me that I've been involved in her with and as I result I can say confidently say that I trust her not only as a friend, but an ally.  I just ask that you two  at least give her  proper chance, because I don't say these sorts of things lightly about just anyone." </span>Iberis felt at that point that it wouldn't be okay to just let the pair give Scylla their ire without her at the very least trying to contextualize things.<br>
---<br>
<br>
It wasn't long before Iberis was walking along with the rest of the group looking around at the very in her opinion strange architecture. For some reason it still felt somewhat familiar despite it not being anything she had seen before arriving in this place..a bit of her repressed  past life memories perhaps acting up. For now she just tried her best to stay where she needed to be, and gripped her staff as she looked around at the ready to act a moments notice given the sort of place they were heading into.</div>

As the group went on to solidify their plan, Cayde stood by, carefully observing their faces. His eyes shifted to Scylla as she made her objections known, lips pursing as he considered her argument. She sounded a little bit like Kesh. Reminded him of her, too. Always so spontaneous. So <i>unpredictable</i>. A helpful trait when things go wrong. When action was needed <i>immediately. </i>Cayde nodded covertly to himself. Scylla would've been <i>great</i> at that role. She just needed to hear it. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"It's not that you're none of those things, Scylla," </b></span>He said, a friendly tone enveloping his voice, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"It's just that we need someone to observe us. To study. And when things are about to go south, we'll need their quick thinking and creativity to help us prevent that," </b></span>He nodded, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"You're our safety net. That sounds like the perfect role for you, yeah?" </b></span><br>
<br>
As for Scylla's input to bring Sverre, Cayde paused, briefly studying the construct. He felt his lips tighten. Bringing Sverre would make things... <i>complicated. </i>But maybe she'd come up with a use for him? <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Okay, glad you want Sverre involved, but what do you plan for-" </b></span>He stopped, a sudden outburst from Morana making him spin on his heels. Shock spread across his face as he listened to her rant. This wasn't good. She was going to lose face if she kept going like this. He had to say something. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Wait! Morana! I understand what you're saying. Nothing's set in stone just yet. Scylla's just helping us brainstorm, is all," </b></span>He held up his palms in appeasement, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Look, whatever happens, you'll get your fight one way or another." </b></span>He looked to the safe room's exit. This place wasn't doing them any good anymore. They all needed to get out <i>now</i>. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Come on, let's get out of here. We'll keep talking, okay?"</b></span><br>
<br>
- - - - - -<br>
<br>
Rain slid off his shoulders as he silently trailed behind Sverre. Morana had departed—a knot twisted in his gut. <br>
<br>
It wasn't his fault, Cayde thought. He didn't say anything wrong. Morana just snapped. Everyone snapped. But that wouldn't fix what happened to Scylla. As <i>spontaneous</i> as she was, she didn't deserve any of that. She was trying to help as much as everyone else here. All she needed was someone to vouch for her. The notion made him sigh. Iberis had done it. So quickly and so effectively, too. Did he do the same? Did he say enough? Would there be another chance?<br>
<br>
He paused mid-thought as he spotted a familiar abandoned building. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Hey, remember this place, guys?" </b></span>Cayde announced, pointing toward the path heading to Aquaculture Labs, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Abandoned. Not too far from the factory. Might be a good place to check first," </b></span>He looked to Kalina next, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"You should take the lead. Me, Kelsey, and Iberis will be right behind you," </b></span>With that said, he retired behind her, though much farther to be considered "right behind." A great opportunity, he thought as he stepped over to Scylla. Maybe there <i>was</i> a chance to say more. <br>
<br>
 Cayde bowed his head in apology, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"I'm sorry about what happened with Morana. You're a great leader. You didn't need to hear any of that," </b></span>He glanced at Sverre and back at her, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"I still believe we need your creativity. You're <i>definitely</i> cooking up something with Sverre. Wanna let me in on it?" </b></span></div>

(Iberis' brief response to Shion was offered by TheTimePiece.)<br>​</div><span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"My apologies, Chandra, I misunderstood your meaning. Yes, that should be easy to manage so long as I'm near all of you."</span> Shion nodded in assurance once the vampire corrected Shion's thinking.<br>
<br>
Kelsey's brazen and tactless desire to score a good night with Sophia-and seemingly Chandra too if she could manage-got on Shion's nerves. She did her best not to let it show, but a slightly furrowing of her brow occurred even if for just a few moments before she regained herself. She viewed such bonds as far more intimate and with those you loved, not some random stranger you just met because you think her bug arms can satisfy your curiosity for the night.<span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)"> <i>She has given me no reason to trust her...much less like her...Morana better be right about her...</i></span><br>
<br>
She was able to put it out of her mind thankfully since she was rather curious about Chandra's response to the halfling's proposal. She remembered that Chandra never reciprocated those feelings directly, at least publicly, but even so this was something she didn't expect. Was she...was she unfamiliar in how these relationships worked? She definitely oversold her desire to pet her tail, and she had this...aloofness to her that Shion presumed wasn't just an act like earlier. She wondered if this would lead her to potential heartbreak being unfamiliar with how such things worked, but there was a time to get involved and a time to let things run their course. If Chandra wanted her advice on the matter, she simply need ask.<br>
<br>
Scylla proceeded to get some flak from Morana about her choices, perhaps a bit harsh, but she was more surprised it took her this long. She had teased Scylla enough, this time she'd actually try to help her out. She approached Scylla and after Cayde offered his encouragement to the witch, she bent over so she could be eye level with Scylla and smiled at her, Shion's tail swishing about behind her. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"We all learn at out own paces, Scylla, there is no reason to be ashamed with making mistakes. Fail forwards towards success, rather than away and give up. It'd probably be best if we leave Sverre with Morana, a big hunk of metal won't do much for stealth."</span><br>
<br>
Shion stood up again and walked over to Iberis with a hand held up for a high five, but not so high the mage couldn't reach. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"I believe this is an appropriate use of this gesture, yes?"</span><br>
<br>
Iberis's smile only became brighter at seeing Shion offer her the high five, Even with Shion being a deal taller than her, with it being at the appropriate height she high fived Shion.<br>
<br>
Shion smiled back, glad she'd kept up with human gestures over the years. Hi-fives they were called, right? She hadn't been apart of many back in her world, but she tried to keep in mind its relevance since there were a couple times it felt invigorating. This was another one. She proceeded to be on her way out along with everyone once things were solidly discussed before stopping by Morana and placing a gentle hand on her shoulder that wasn't metallic.<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)"> <span style="font-size: 12px">"If nothing else, think of it as a break from Scylla."</span> </span>She whispered to the woman before they were out the door, chuckling slightly as she walked away from Morana.<br>
<br>
--<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"My only request is to try not to go crazy with your thoughts right now."</span> She asked of everyone present as the irises in her eyes began to glow once more. She wasn't attempting to <b>[Mind Link] </b>with anyone right this instant, but her mind entering the abstract now would both help keep her focused on her task at hand as well as not raise the thrall's immediate suspicion should she see Shion's eyes light up. Instead, if it was perceived as her constant state of being, it'd be easier to sell as nothing out of the ordinary.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Chandra, Cayde, if the thrall questions my peculiar disposition, I'm trusting both of you to help me out. Trying to tell a convincing lie while I'm floating between seven people's minds waiting to relay anything will cause...complications I imagine." </span>She requested of the two best talkers they had in the group as she stood back with Scylla and Sophia. She positioned herself behind Iberis as best she could, wishing she could be up front instead, but she agreed with Chandra's plan so she'd take the backseat for now.<br>
<br>
--<br>
<b>[Mind Link F]: [Magic F], [Telepathy F], [Empathy F]</b> - Her Mink Link isn't presently targeting anyone, her mind is just existing in the flow between everyone's minds ready for something to go wrong. Extreme/Intense thoughts would probably catch her attention though.</div>

Sophia nodded as she was advised that it would be OK, following the group as it moved towards the lab. She walked up behind Kalina, lightly tapping her on the shoulder as she said, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"I really would like to talk with the two of you sometime soon. It's about... past things."</span> She did her best to be vague, not wanting to step on either person's toes, but thinking it might be a good idea to talk as soon as they could, since she was positive that the thrall they were searching for wouldn't pop out too easily. After all, if this was all it took, she didn't doubt that they would have been dealt with already.​</div></div>

<br>
She gasped at the half flings rude questioning,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "Yeah, I am!"</span> She made a frown, however, it appeared, fake. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"You got a problem with that, Kelsey, or should I say, 'Pervy'?</span><br>
<br>
Who was this 'little lady' to question her position?!<br>
<br>
She almost felt like her words had fallen on deaf ears, and well, who could blame anyone for doing so? However, after Cayde began to speak she softened her posture a bit. Truly, this was a surprise!<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "S-safety net?"</span> She repeated a bit incredulously at first, but then seemed to see what he meant, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Oooh! I see what you mean now!"</span> She whispered loudly, getting in Cayde's face, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Things go south, and 'miss purple' does as she does best as save everyone!" </span>Scylla then patted him a bit on the shoulder,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "You're an excellent second in command sir Cayde."</span> She smiled brightly.<br>
<br>
Although people were beginning to understand her demeanor, one in particular resorted to flat out insults. Her gaze shifted suddenly to Morana who was spewing all manner of vitriol. The witch raised her eye brows, bringing her hands over her chest in feigned frightfulness, gasping at every curse word that came out of her mouth. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Well, well, well!" </span>She said shocked, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"That's quite the mouth on you! Phew. What a temper!"</span> She'd pick her hat up however, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"No, no brain in here.." </span>Looking in her leathery hat,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "..just my book, a few scrolls with scribbles in it aaaaand your hatred for me!" </span>She winked at Morana,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "Oh, i'm sorry sugar plum."</span> She said with a feigned frown,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "But seriously, let's follow your guys idea. Mr.S?"</span> She looked over to the construct, fluttering her eyelashes,<span style="color: #9365b8"> "What do you say we just stay behind with the others and sort of.. I don't know.. watch. How does that sound? Less pain. More entertained! Have you ever played paper, rock, scissors?"</span> She looked at Morana,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "Oh, don't be so bitter, how about we settle things with a game? Like.. 'I Spy' when we return?"</span><br>
<br>
---<br>
<br>
Walking beside Sverre, Cayde seemed to open up about something, again, surprising the witch with his completely left field comments and statements.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "Y-you think im a great leader?"</span> She repeated again, his words seemed to take time to process often. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"I- we- I mean.. thank you."</span> She held her arm, brushing it a bit as he mentioned how important she was, accepting compliments was something quite difficult,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "W-well that's great! I assure you I will not let you down! Somehow, either lucky or intended I'll figure out a way to get us through this!"</span> She giggled at herself before his next inquiry, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Uhhh.. cooking? Oh! A plan! Heh, yes, well sort of.. it depends on what we can assess about this 'thrall' you know? But I'm intending to Mr. S to jump in there at some point- err.. did I say that? I meant, if things go bad he'll jump in there, 'then' and only then! Well.. if I lose a 'paper, rock, scissors game then.. he gets to do what he wants."</span><br>
<br>
As they approached their destination, Scylla was well aware of Sophia wanting to have some time alone for something. The curiosity was eating at her as she walked, falling behind a bit behind the others tapping the fae on the shoulder,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "Hey.."</span> She whispered, acting a bit childish as these things reminded her of her much younger days,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "..so what is it? Do you want to tell me some juicy gossip about K- I mean.. C-chandra?"</span> She looked at Sophia expectantly.</div>

Morana had left them in a bit of a sour mood. She'd grumbled in reply to Iberis. She'd silently started at Cayde, unable to speak up against him due to her commands from Fromm, but clearly not liking it one bit. Scylla, despite eventually agreeing, had made her blood boil. The only one that made this slightly less bad was Shion. A break from Scylla? That sounded at least somewhat nice. Mr.S eventually stayed 'behind' somewhere (although I don't know where, so I'll say he went with Morana after all). Morana and Sverre would end up meeting up with the Vampire Hunters first.<br>

She was surprised when she felt Sophia tap her on the shoulder, stopping in her tracks for a bit. She hesitated for a second, but then quickly pulled Sophia in for a hug. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Once we deal with the thrall, alright? I'm sorry. I've really got to focus on becoming more of a nasty, mean monster right now. If my mind's elsewhere, I might not be deceptive enough.”</b></span> She she let go, flashed her a smile and got into her act. She pulled up a chin, looking down on Sophia. <span style="color: #C71585"><b>“As if a filthy Fae is worth any of my time. The best you're good for is to be a blood supply.”</b></span> She looked down upon Sophia as if the latter was nothing more than a juice box. (Deception D). <br>
<br>
On the topic of being in her 'act', she still had to reply to Shion telling she'd manage. She hoped Shion would also understand she was just getting her act on when she spoke up to her. <span style="color: #C71585"><b>“Good, the mutt's good for something.”</b></span> That was something a [monster] would say, right? Right. She didn't respect them. She didn't love petting that tail. She'd much rather hurt it... yes. That's who she was meant to be now. This was going to be tough. Of course, were Shion to read Kalina's thoughts, she'd instantly know the opposite of what she was pretending to be was true. She'd genuinely taken a quick liking to Shion and not just for her tail. She smiled at Shion's request. <span style="color: #C71585"><b>“Your disposition? I think the thrall would understand that I like having a lapdog around~”</b></span> She managed to sound fairly convincing (Deception D) on that one. Her thoughts being the opposite of her words, well, she did like having Shion around, she would simply never consider calling her a lapdog for real.<br>

Eventually, they made it inside the Aquaculture Labs. It was eerie and silent. Some water dripped down the ceiling, but it was unclear where it came from as it wasn't raining outside. They didn't have to walk around for long, as they eventually walked into 'her'. It was pretty clear who and what she was...<br>

She stood in the middle of a room, in a ray of light. Silently staring through the window into one of the water tanks. Without turning to face those that arrived she spoke up. <span style="color: #7FFFD4"><b>“You're of our own kind, but you bring those that aren't. What is your purpose?”</b></span><br>
<br>
It seemed like, even without watching them, she had a good grasp on who was there. Those with perception (higher than F) would notice she'd adjust her position ever so slightly based on all those present. It was likely a good thing they hadn't brought a severely unstealthy construct like Sverre or a bloodthirsty Morana along, as they'd likely have been fighting already if the had. It also seemed like they would have to be very careful about their words and actions, as this thrall seemed ready to strike a moment's notice. Highly on edge. <br>

This was it. Her time to shine. To act and deceive like she'd never done before. <span style="color: #C71585"><b>“I've heard your mistress is recruiting. I've brought some folk interested in joining. So don't waste my time and tell me where she's at.”</b></span> She stated, sounding aggressive. (Deception D). That's the way of the [monster], wasn't it?<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #7FFFD4"><b>“You're claiming all of them are foolish enough?”</b></span> That was an odd reaction from the thrall. If she was working for someone actively trying to recruit people, such a statement was counter-intuitive. Even Kalina was taken off-guard for a slight second, quickly trying to get back into her act.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #C71585"><b>“What can I say? They like my charms.”</b></span> She smirked, trying to suggest she didn't deem a mere thrall worth a real answer. That seemed to.. sort-off work? <br>
<br>
<span style="color: #7FFFD4"><b>“You know, I'm commanded to murder everyone that seems to show even the slightest intent to harm my mistress. Even trying to figure out things that can be used against her count as harming her. Are you sure you're just here to deliver new recruits?”</b></span> Was that a threat... or a warning? Or both? She seemed to imply something in her words, more than there was at the surface. That much was sure.<br>
<br>
Kalina wasn't entirely sure how to react. <span style="color: #C71585"><b>“I'm not here to waste time and play games, thrall. I'm here to make a deal with your mistress.”</b></span> Hopefully that bluff would work. <br>
<br>
Finally, the thrall turned around, revealing her mutilated-by-metal features in full. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: #C71585"><b>“Aren't you a sight for sore eyes.”</b></span> She stated, once again as deceiving as she could to make her voice drip with ill-intended irony and sarcasm. She knew a [monster] wouldn't show sympathy and her only way to successfully abstain from doing so was to act even worse than simply doing nothing. <br>
<br>
The thrall remained silent, but Kalina's bluff seemed to work. She was still on guard, but ever so slightly less so. However, on the hand, she looked a bit more... uncomfortable? Nervous? Regretful? It was tough to pin her emotions down as she turned to the others in the group. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: #7FFFD4"><b>“Tell me, why are all of you foolishly committing to this fate?”</b></span> She stated, looking them in the eyes one by one. Was she testing them? Was this commanded to her by her mistress? Or was this her own choice? It was unclear. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: #C71585"><b>“Mind your words, lowlife. Just who the hell are you meant to be serving here?”</b></span> Kalina knew she took a risk with those words, but... they went ignored. That was odd. Very odd. She didn't know what to make of this. This was definitely not what she'd expected at all. Perhaps someone else could make some sense of this. Hopefully.</div>

<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"I'd.. I'd love to but.."</span> Yurena then seemed to interrupt with her new form, it was quite an erotically threatening sight for the witch, whom she seemed to cower under the vampires current form.<br>
<br>
They'd eventually get to the Aquaculture Labs, her shoe's making a bit of a mushy sound that echoed softly through the vast expanse of aquariums and water leaks.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "W-what is this place?"</span> She stuttered, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"It sort of reminds me of a book I read on the Duchy. Lots of water. Lots.. and lots."</span> There was an eerie chill in the air that Scylla's magic sensitivities would pick up. There was a different sort of magic in here. Perhaps, something different altogether.<br>
<br>
She let Yurena do most of the talking, however she was shocked the vampire had known they were in there the whole time. They weren't exactly as silent as the grave but still, it gave a hint into this thralls potential power. Surely, she was very powerful.<br>
<br>
She stood upright, a bit stern and solemn which didn't betray her inner concern.<br>
<br>
When the vampire looked at her, Scylla met it equally. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Oh merciful guardian, I beseech you to look upon me as a worthy. I desire nothing more than to further your masters will, which is why I stand before you here today. I pray you accept our sacrifice to serve, and as servant of the underworld, accept mine in blood."</span><br>
<br>
Holding her hands entwined together, she took a few steps before using her [black magic F] to inflict profuse cuts upon her own palms. The witch would fall to her knees in pain as the magic created sudden gashes. Then bowing her head, she'd cup her hands up at the thrall, as her vitality pooled in her cupped hands.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "I am completely, devoted to serve your master."</span> Being the leader required to make the greater sacrifices, even if it meant this thrall would feed on her until she was beyond the threshold of death, she was willing to take that chance. If she died, she'd just go back to the underworld and return from the Black Pool. But.. it always required some to enter the Underworld.</div>

Cayde nodded along amiably as Scylla relayed her part of the plan. He couldn't help but let a smile come across his face. Even after all the doubting, she'd still kept that optimistic demeanor. It felt infectious. It felt <i>familiar</i>. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Heh, see? <i>That's </i>the kind of plan we expect from our safety net,"</span> </b>He chuckled, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Sounds reasonable. But if there's anything you wanna change, don't be afraid to reach out to us, yeah?"</span> </b>Cayde gave her a friendly nod and shifted to Shion, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Got you covered, Shion. I'll set a base we can <i>all </i>build on,"</span> </b>He said, giving her a thumbs up, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Nothing to worry about. We've got this," </span></b><br>
<br>
That reassurance kept rebounding in his head as the party explored the Aquaculture Labs. Then, silenced as he laid eyes on the thrall. A shiver of unease and curiosity crawled down his spine as she addressed them. <i>Something</i> was off. Maybe it was just his nerves, Cayde thought. But the way she spoke, the way she moved, suggested hesitance beyond that of suspicion. Almost as if she didn't <i>want</i> to do this.<br>
<br>
Before his eyes could soften, Cayde peered at Scylla as she stepped forward. Surprise tugged his lips upwards as he watched her display. Unexpected and oddly visceral. Perfect. <b><i><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Good going, Scylla,"</span> </i></b>He thought before facing the thrall. She'd done her part. Kalina did her part. Time for his. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Why? Because it's the last thing we can possibly do," </b></span>He replied earnestly, hoping <b>[Persuasion - F] </b>and <b>[Deception - F] </b>would give his voice the conviction it needed,  <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"We've all lost a piece of ourselves. Some of us more than others. And <i>no one </i>has come to our aid. <i>No one</i> seeks to fill our lives with purpose once again," </b></span>He shook his head solemnly, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"We're tired of it. We <i>need</i> to be a part of something greater. Something more than weak frivolities. Your master can give us just that." </span></b><br>
<br>
Cayde slowly dropped to a knee, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"I know. You shouldn't give us your pity. And we don't deserve it. But please, keep in mind we not only want to serve. We want cooperation," </b></span>He met the thrall's gaze, eyes stern underneath his mask, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"There are rumors in the city. Talks of certain figures planning to hunt you and your master down," </b></span>He said, nodding slightly, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"They're not as sneaky as they think. We have information. I think you might find it <i>very</i> helpful," </b></span></div>

Frankly Iberis didn't care much how annoyed Morana seemed to be. She wasn't going to just stand around and let Scylla be dog piled with people who were questioning how good she was. She knew that Scylla was great and could most definitely lead. She was quite pleased that Cayde had joined in as well, which made her feel like he really did understand things well. Then there was 'Yurena' who was now putting on a stellar show of sorts, the acting was quite convincing as far as Iberis was concerned to what people in the world considered a typical [monster] to be like. Iberis didn't have too much to say with not many addressing her directly up front, talking amongst themselves.<br>
<br>
Once they were in the lab, Iberis stayed close to the group and couldn't  help but look around curiously, she hadn't quite been in a place like this, but it was safe to say that was true for most of Widersia. Given how much water there was around them, it dripping down wasn't exactly the most reassuring from an architectural stand point either. Truthfully this whole place was fascinating, and if Iberis wasn't there on important  dangerous business she would have enjoyed exploring it more for what it was.<br>
<br>
Iberis gripped her staff tightly yet again like she did when things were feeling tense, at the sight of the Thrall who was right there. This was the one who had caused so much trouble already, never mind who her mistress was. Despite this Iberis was not going to let it show on her face any shred of nervousness, she had gone through hell and come back. Not to mention the thrall just asked a really good question, why had Yurena brought a bunch of non monsters with her? Thankfully Yurena seemed to be quick enough on her toes to respond accordingly and stay in character. The thrall was reasonably inquisitive and cautious. While Yurena and the Thrall exchanged dialogue Iberis kept a darker than usual look. The mutilated  by metal  look wasn't anything that Iberis hadn't already seen in Auldlich's visions so Iberis managed to not be surprised.<br>
When it finally came to the thrall questioning why they were interested in joining, Iberis thought it'd look to calculated if they all decided to grovel like Scylla, one of them doing it was fine. Then there was Cayde who also kneeled down and said how they needed to find purpose again much like joining a cult, so just to keep everything convincing Iberis decided she'd divert from both Cayde and Scylla's presentation a bit.<br>
<br>
She tapped into her <b>[Deception F] </b>and said with a bit of a vicious looking smirk, <br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"Listen, I don't really care  what you consider foolish or not. All I Know is that after being on the streets, and treated like some freak,"</span> She'd say while exposing her undead leg to the thrall,<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)"> "While a greater purpose is appreciated, I'm interested in getting more powerful, and I don't really care who I have to<i> slaughter </i>to achieve that goal, if they want to treat me like a monster, then I'll show them a monster.."</span> Iberis said in an intentionally unsettling fashion, the near sadistic glint not leaving her eyes. <br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)"> "I do not fear death so danger means nothing to me, and I believe undoubtedly that your Mistress can help point me in the right way to fulfill my goal, in exchange I'll swear my loyalty to her cause., all she needs to do is tell me what to do and how to do it, and I'll obey..she points out who needs to die and I don't need any more information, I'll make it so. "</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: null">And with this act Iberis felt that she helped bring some diversity to the table of motivation and character type regarding the new 'recruits', hoping that while speaking with part truth would help  additionally supplement her lie in believability with  the fact that her Deception was F.</span></div>

The conversation with the thrall was going smoothly, Shion hadn't flinched at all to Yurena's barbs as looking too submissive might not sell that she wanted this just like everyone else. Then the thrall began to pointedly ask them, and Shion tensed up. She didn't say anything, she asked Chandra and Cayde to handle the talking for her. Her mind was too open right now that hearing even one thought too intensely at present could reveal her hand if she reacted to it, and that'd be very hard to come back from. Then everyone started to answer, and the negativity coming from those who hadn't shown hardly any since being here began to weigh on Shion's mind.<br>
<br>
She kept her breathing steady, she kept her eyes focused on the thrall without speaking. Maybe one of them could lie about her being unable to speak properly or something, anything. If she was forced to answer right now, the emotions she was feeling she...she wouldn't be able to hold back. Her<b> [Mind Link]</b> reached out towards Chandra.<br>

<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)"><b><i>"Please...please don't make me answer..."</i></b></span> This was the first time Chandra would hear Shion sound so vulnerable. Her telepathic message...it was filled with <i>fear</i>. Fear of being honest, of what would come out should she speak right now which the only way she could without breaking her concentration would be from the heart.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)"><i>I hate humans...No! Stop! Shion, calm down...you won't have to answer, it's fine, just...focus on everyone else...</i></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: null">Shion slowed her breathing, her mind beginning to peer into everyone's around her. If she sensed any discomfort or shaken resolve from them, she would instill a peaceful, serene image into their mind to hopefully calm their nerves. What would she provide for them? She knew, it'd help her calm down too. She'd think of one of the first forests she ever dwelled in. Its calming nights illuminated by the spirits at play, prancing about with her father and the young spirits wishing to play. It mentally brought a smile to her face, such simpler times back then. Such simpler times...<br>
<br>
(Should anyone become disheartened or lose resolve over the next round, this is the image Shion will place in their mind to help them calm down. Dealer's choice if you wish to witness Shion as a young fox kit and her father both in kitsune forms as described in Shion's memory, or if you just see the forests and spirits that works too.)<br>

Once she was asked about gossip, she shook her head. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"I'd rather Kalina talk about it over me, since it is something that has to do with where she came from. So we'll have to wait until she's ready." </span>Once she heard that Kalina wouldn't be ready until after this was dealt with, she gave a small shrug, following the vampire diligently, crossbow within arms reach if anything went sideways.<br>
<br>
She did not like the look of the thrall, and the way she talked seemed almost grating. She grit her teeth, but did her best to look uninterested. That was, until she was asked why she was committing to that fate. She smiled brightly before saying, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Because my mistress wills it~ I would do anything for her, so I don't care what it is, i'll follow her orders to the letter! She's just that wonderful. I can't refuse her~"</span> She giggled, looking with adoration at the vampire before looking to the thrall, biting back the next words that she was certain would be taken as an insult.​</div></div>

The thrall looked at Scylla with barely hidden emotions. Scylla's first words made the vampire scoff. After all, without any deception to them and with no persuasion used, they didn't sound particularly convincing. In fact, the scoff turned into a bit of distrust, as she twitched ever so slightly to become battle-ready. Those emotions turned to disgust when Scylla cut herself with black magic to offer her blood. When she made a claim as clear and strong as promising complete devotion, without any deceptive skills to speak off, the more perceptive (F perception or higher) folk would notice the thrall was ready to strike. <br>

<span style="color: #C71585"><b>“Hold!”</b></span> Kalina stepped in, realising what Scylla did was bound to fail thanks to being rather [Critical]. (<i>[Critical] Character has an easier time finding fault with anything and anyone. They are less likely to be caught speechless or without an opinion.</i>) <span style="color: #C71585"><b>“Don't mind her little act, she's still learning. She's afraid of getting bitten, so she puts up little acts like this, hoping to avoid being bitten by letting us drink from her hands like we're her pets, instead of doing it the proper and direct way.”</b></span> She hoped that, with (Deception D), she'd be able to convince the Thrall. <br>
<br>
The thrall didn't seem entirely convinced, but relaxed again. Crisis averted. For now. It was probably a bad idea for Scylla to be making strong claims without any deceptive skill to speak off, which explained why Kalina had asked for Cayde and Iberis to back her up instead. That said, Kalina did figure Scylla might be able to convincingly play along should someone else initiate a lie, which she figured might be needed sooner or later.<br>

Cayde wasn't an expert at deception, but it seemed like the thrall wasn't an expert at uncovering lies either, as she silently stared at him. It seemed like she wasn't sure what to believe, perhaps due to their deceiving and truth-finding abilities being at a stalemate. It's probably why she replied with questions. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: #7FFFD4"><b>“What type of greater thing do you seek? Servitude? Power? Destruction?”</b></span> She shook her head. <span style="color: #7FFFD4"><b>“My mistress doesn't offer cooperation, she only offers a chance at servitude.”</b></span> Upon the mention of people planning to hunt them down, she sighed. <span style="color: #7FFFD4"><b>“I've had to cut down many of them already, if they haven't gotten the message, that is their own fault.”</b></span> One thing would stand out to those attentive (insight/empathy F or higher), she stressed the 'had' part every so slightly stating she 'had' to cut them down.<br>
<br>
To that extend, Iberis was by far the most convincing to her. Iberis' deception was enhanced greatly by mentioning the exact same things a monster would. <span style="color: #7FFFD4"><b>“Your thoughts are already like my mistress'...”</b></span> She said, but to those attentive (insight/empathy F or higher) she'd sound almost regretful. <span style="color: #7FFFD4"><b>“She would certainly like you.”</b></span><br>
<br>
Sophia's reply was... sort-off working? She wasn't particularly deceptive or persuasive, but she managed to turn the truth just enough for the thrall to simply scoff at it. <span style="color: #7FFFD4"><b>“You have fallen deeply, to serve so willingly.”</b></span> She eventually stated, although there was something inquisitive to it. Just like with Scylla, she wasn't entirely convinced.<br>
<br>
Her eyes went to the halfling next...<br>

<span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“I'm foolishly committing to it, cause I'm a fool~ What else?”</b></span> She replied, not sounding convincing at all. For a second, it looked like she would put the thrall on full alert again, but then she suddenly switched gears and sounded very convincing. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“Isn't it simple? To protect Widersia from being taken over again by The See or The East Empire, I need strength. Far more than I'd ever be able to get in a lifetime. Becoming an immortal vampire will allow me to protect my country for eternity. Yes, I know I'd become a danger to it myself, especially working with your mistress, but I'd rather work with monsters than to ever see East Empire scum or See bastards take over control. My Faedom is worth less than my freedom, so I'll sacrifice it for the greater good of my country.”</b></span> She sounded convincing, even to those that knew she was going to play out an act (Deception C). Wait, was she actually planning to betray them? It might be possible. After all, she was convincing enough for even the thrall to swallow it without question.<br>

Upon hearing it, Kalina panicked a little. <span style="color: #C71585"><b>“Hold up, thrall, who are you to command me when to feed and whom to feed from?”</b></span> She called out in (faked) anger. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: #7FFFD4"><b>“I am a mere thrall, but this is my misters' command. Only a real monster has no issue feeding off of the life of others. Only those truly devoted have no issue being fed upon. A simple, but efficient task.”</b></span> To those sensitive to it (insight or empathy &gt; F), her explanation was cold, as if she didn't like it, but was forced to say it.<br>
<br>
She wasn't sure how to reply to that, but didn't want to have the others feel pressured into this either. There was one more thing to try. <span style="color: #C71585"><b>“Be as that may, you should know how feeding directly on someone makes you feel, do you not? What right has your mistress to command to do such a thing with those that are mere pawns?”</b></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #7FFFD4"><b>“I do not know such a thing.”</b></span> Those words were clear, short and convincing. Which was odd. This thrall had never fed on someone? That was strange. However, it was not where she stopped. <span style="color: #7FFFD4"><b>“You brought them here, if you do not even wish to feed upon them, bringing them here was an insult to my mistress. Now. By my mistress' command, feed on them.”</b></span><br>
<br>
She had no clue what to do from here... She wanted to keep up the act, but didn't want to force anyone into it. It's why all she could do was see just how far Cayde and Iberis were willing to go. <span style="color: #C71585"><b>“You two, present yourselves!”</b></span> She called out. However, as she did so, she was silently prepared to attack the thrall the moment she spotted either Iberis or Cayde refuse or hesitate. She'd not force her friends to this. It wouldn't be worth it. She tried reaching out to Shion through telepathy. <span style="color: #800000">'Please... tell them it's okay to refuse. I'll fight the thrall myself if needed.'</span></div>

Shion's entire body breathed when Chandra stood in when the thrall started pointing her out. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)"><b><i>"Thank you..." </i></b></span>was all she had to say for Chandra at present. She went back to listening to the conversation floating between everyone's mind, and when the feeding began to come into question she witnessed Chandra falter ever so slightly. She wondered if she should step in for them, claiming they'd already been fed on for the day and she was jealous or something. That'd probably convince the thrall, and yet...while she did trust Chandra, she was uncomfortable with the prospect of being drank from a vampire. She was fine with being openly honest about who she was, but if vampire bites were anything like her world...she didn't know if she'd ever be able to do that. Not only that, in her current state of keeping this<b> [Mind Link]</b> constantly active, she had no idea what she'd start doing to everyone else's minds while Yurena fed off of her. No scenario ended with her being pleased with how things played out through that route.<br>
<br>
So then she heard Chandra's mind attempt to reach her, and she tuned in to what the woman asked of her. She didn't like the idea of this venture ending with no information gained...but what if there was another way?<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)"> <b><i>"Chandra, I'll warn them, but...I personally think if she's longing to be freed herself, then she might be more willing to help if we put her out of her misery than deceiving her."</i></b></span><br>
<br>
She left Chandra's mind for a moment before peering into Cayde's. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)"><b><i>"Cayde, Chandra has offered to face the thrall herself if you do not wish to go through with this. While I'm not privy to the idea of going through all this trouble to potentially gain no information, and put the vampire on alert, that doesn't mean you should have to force yourself to do this."</i></b></span><br>
<br>
Her mind then shifted to Iberis. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)"><b><i>"Iberis, Chandra doesn't want you to do this if you're uncomfortable with the idea. She says she'll take the thrall on if neither of you want to go through with this. I don't like the idea of making all three of you so vulnerable either if she's somehow seen through our intentions, but...you trust her, so I'll trust your judgement."</i></b></span><br>
<br>
Shion's mind left Iberis' and began floating between everyone else's once again, waiting to see if she picked up any thoughts directed her way or any that wavered enough that she would wish to calm their minds with the imagery she thought up earlier. She did wonder if, besides death, if Chandra could claim dominance over another's thrall and realign her allegiance? She trusted Chandra for what it was worth, so she'd easily make a better master than the one this thrall currently serves, but...she wasn't sure if Chandra wanted that responsibility for the long term either. And if she couldn't free her from her chains mentally...killing her was the best course of action.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)"><i>No one should have dominion over another, after all...</i></span>She tried not to show pity in her visage as best she could looking at the thrall, lest she catch on through observing body language.</div>

Cayde lowered his head as the thrall spoke to him, his eyes drawing circles on the floor. He frantically pondered on what to say next. If the thrall hadn't been receptive to cooperation, perhaps a bit of humility could work. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"I understand. It was foolish of me to think otherwise,"</span> </b>He said, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"I don't want power, nor destruction. Life is too finite for that.

Something that'll leave a mark on this world when I'm gone,"</span> </b>Cayde looked up at the thrall, hoping his [Persuasuion - F] and [Deception - F] would give him just enough to paint him as an idealist, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"By serving your master, I can do just that. It doesn't matter what they ask of me. I'll do <i>whatever </i>it takes." </span></b><br>
<br>
Then, he heard what he'd need to do to prove that. Cayde's eyes went wide, quickly darting over to Kalina. So he'd have to get his blood sucked? By her? With <i>teeth? Now? </i>Cayde felt his neck start to itch. It would be nothing like before. No bottle, no clean knife. <i>All</i> the risk of infection. Becoming one of <i>them</i>. It couldn't have been done. He'd have to decline!<br>
<br>
Cayde heard Shion's voice drift into his mind. A relieved smile crept onto his face. <i>Thank God, </i>he thought. She'd come with an easy way out. All he'd have to do was say no. And then...<br>
<br>
What would happen?<br>
<br>
A fight would've happened. Then they'd have nothing. Then Kalina would send herself in first, and she'd get hurt. Then everyone else would follow, and <i>they'd</i> get hurt, too. And then it'd be over. All because he couldn't make a sacrifice. All because he was too <i>scared</i>. Just like in Aston, Cayde thought. He'd regress right on the spot. All this time, trying to be better would be for nothing.<br>
<br>
That couldn't be.<br>
<br>
Cayde closed his eyes, brows furrowing. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b><i>"I'm going through with it, Shion," </i></b></span>He didn't know if she could hear him. It felt good to think it aloud, regardless. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b><i>"Nothing's going to happen. I'm sure of it," </i></b></span>As that repeated in his head, it started to sound true. What was he worrying about? Kalina wouldn't kill him. Everyone wouldn't get hurt. They'd all pull through. Just like they had many times before. And all he'd have to do was give a little blood. What could go wrong?<br>
<br>
He looked back up at the thrall, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Very well," </span></b>Cayde moved over to Kalina and pulled down his collar, revealing his pale neck. He snuck one glance at Iberis. She'd <i>have</i> to stay strong if something happened. Perhaps he could take her share. Her vitality meant more.  <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Take as much as you want from me," </b></span>He told Kalina, trying to mask his concern with <b>[Deception - F]</b>, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Just go easy on the girl, would ya?" </b></span><br>
<br>
As he closed his eyes, something else came into view. A forest not unlike the beauty of the See. His eyes darted around, spotting two furry creatures prancing about, not a care in the world. He recognized the fur on one immediately. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b><i>"Well, I'll be..." </i></b></span>He smiled, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b><i>"Thank you, Shion," </i></b></span></div>

Iberis understood Shion's words which she heard in her head, despite hearing them she continued ot the act the part of looking dark and aggressive. With <b>Deception F</b> she kept up the act, scoffing when she heard Cayde talk about idealism as if it was something she could careless about since it wasn’t anything she had mentioned that was part of her self interests, figuring that would further help sell the monster angle.<br>
<br>
Even if it was concerning to hear that the thrall hadn’t exactly bought all of their responses as well as they could have Iberis felt like it was in her best interest to seem like she didn’t really care about the others, the only one who she needed to care about for this role was the Mistress.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">“Of course she would. It's only natural.” </span>Iberis said matter of fact in response like it was inconceivable that there was any other option than the vampire mistress liking her attitude.<br>
<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">“I’m sorry that some who’ve gathered here just don’t seem to have what’s most important figured out yet. ” </span>She’d say smugly.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">“But don’t worry I’m sure once they’ve tasted what true power is like they’ll get the memo of what your Mistress wants them to do.” </span>She continued with a now more sadistic gleam.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">“I mean misguided or not, who really cares as long as they fall in line like good planks and have something useful for your mistress to use right? She can always just cull the ones who are deemed useless. But don’t worry I’ll show my worth and then some.”</span><br>
<br>
She said very pragmatically, figuring she’d at least try to cover for some of the others to an extent<br>
<br>
She was glad that Kalina had been with it all enough to make up a lie about Shion when the Thrall questioned about her. That was far from out of character from monsters who sometimes enslaved others through various means, so this was not anything outlandish.<br>
<br>
As much as Iberis  actually appreciated Cayde saying that since the idea of getting blood taken in this setting was a bit anxiety causing internally, externally she tried to look chill like she  had when she pricked her finger to give Kalina blood to drink.<br>
<br>
As part of the act she’d look over at Cayde and roll her eyes,<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)"> “You can save the chivalry for someone who actually cares.” </span>She’d say shortly figuring it'd better fit the character she was putting on as the member of the group who was outwardly more monsterous, while she looked back briefly too.  After saying this her face then  shifted back to one which was focused and not up to much good anytime soon.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">“Course she can feed on me I can take it.”</span> She said in response to the Thrall and Yurena  exposing more of her neck by moving her hair and garment out of the way more if necessary before  moving forward  a bit some. At this point wondering what was going to happen with the next steps for this whole ordeal with her and Cayde out here in a vulnerable position, but getting into a fight right then and there could be risky business. It'd probably be better if they could play along ab it longer and then collectively get the jump on the vampire  and thrall so to speak if need be.</div>

Scylla would soon see the error in her ways, perhaps it was how she said it? Perhaps she just didn't (have enough points for Deception F T.T) fit the mold or her posture was wrong? Regardless, she stumbled back but wouldn't dare to cower in the face of a monster who would easily just kill her! She'd rip a piece of her dress and wrapped it around her wounds, it was probably best not to cast another spell to even heal at this point. She hoped it would be enough. <br>
<br>
Scylla was kicking herself mentally, but at least everyone had a chance to see what NOT to do? She just had to make an excuse in her head. <br>
<br>
She'd take her hat off and hold it with her bandaged hands, still on her knees she bowed her head entwining her hands together, but she dared not speak another word. Everything that was coming to her was just way too risky to say, sometimes, Scylla felt she just needed to take a backseat. <br>
<br>
She was rather surprised at Iberis's response, although her smug little act definitely triggered her hurt ego a bit. Why couldn't she impress this Thrall? She did everything right. Right?! She sighed a bit as she closed her eyes with silent praise. <i>Way to go Iberis!</i></div>

Sophia's eyebrows raised as the two of their group outside of the fox who wasn't gung ho for giving blood were the ones that it was requested from. She tilted her head before raising a clawed hand in order to get attention. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Could she drink from me~? Like, I don't even mind if the other two also need to give it up, I just think that her doing that is so... romantic, wouldn't you say~?"</span> She fluttered her eye lashes at the thrall, not even needing to try and deceive her as every word out of her mouth so far was completely truthful.<br>
<br>
However, there was one thing that she needed to correct the other woman on. She crossed her bottom two claws, looking stern as she said, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"And as for falling so far, I take offense to that! Why, what better position to rise to than a servant of the greatest woman in the world? Truly, I would worship the ground she walked on if she wasn't around for me to worship directly! Her being a monster has nothing to do with it. She is just that perfect, and I believe I have gone up the stairway to heaven, not fallen down them to hell."</span>​</div></div>

<span style="color: #800000">If this works out, I'll see if I can pry into what binds her to the vampire. Perhaps we can set her free, one way or another.</span> Kalina replied to Shion mentally. It seemed like she wasn't the only one to think something was off with this thrall, but putting her out of her misery felt a little extreme. After all, it could have just as easily been her in such a position, had she not awoken a full vampire but a thrall. It was difficult not to feel sympathy towards the thrall, especially knowing she didn't seem happy with her situation. She silently listened to what the others were saying. Cayde and Iberis were keeping up the act well enough. Scylla was remaining silent, probably the smart choice for now. It was great to have her around and they'd likely need her powers soon enough, but this wasn't her moment to shine. Meanwhile, Sophia... she was making her feel awkward. It was best not to focus on such words right now. It'd throw her off and out of her act too much.<br>

The thrall scoffed at Cayde's reply, but didn't react otherwise. It looked like she didn't agree with him, but had to deem his words to be correct. Her reaction to Iberis was similar, if not worse. She clearly didn't like her words at all, but had to respect them for some reason or other. Sophia, however, did get a reply. <span style="color: #7FFFD4"><b>“Silence. You're already made your disgraceful nature clear enough.”</b></span> Genuine anger. However, as the thrall seemed to grow more angry, a sudden groan in pain escaped her lips, grabbing her head for a bit. She still seemed on alert as much as possible, but clearly didn't do so hot. She spoke up again a few seconds later. <span style="color: #7FFFD4"><b>“Just bite them and get this over with. My patience is wearing thin.”</b></span> <br>
<br>
The words echoed through the building as Kalina looked at Cayde coming up first. He actually... went through with it. Truth be told, she hadn't thought he would. She'd been ready to attack. Yet... if this was his conviction, his willingness to stick by the plan she'd made, then she'd be wrong to deny it, right? Yet... this was Cayde! Someone she highly respected. Someone she considered a close friend. Yet knowing how directly drinking blood from someone tended to make her feel... Wouldn't that taint their relation forever after? Should she really do this? <br>
<br>
Kalina's doubt wasn't lost on the thrall. <span style="color: #7FFFD4"><b>“You're awfully shy for a monster. He's got his neck out. Take it.”</b></span> She spoke, her words cold and distant. To those with enough insight/empathy (F or higher), it was as if she forced to say this.<br>
<br>
Two options raced through her mind. A bluff followed by acceptance. A quick attack on the thrall. However, with Cayde telling her to take as much as she want (successfully masking his concern to her as well, as she lacked any insight), she made up her mind. To bluff and accept. <span style="color: #C71585"><b>“Shy? No. He's a plain old human. I've had his blood before and it was bland as a raw potato. Horrible stuff, especially compared to witches and Fae. I know your mistress wants you to test us and all, but that doesn't mean I have to be eager to bite into a raw potato now, does it?”</b></span> She replied, using (Deception D) to fake a large amount of annoyance. She used the same deception to head over to Cayde, making a show out of sinking her teeth into his neck. <br>
<br>
Many things went through her head. From 'it's just an act' to 'I've ruined this' to 'I can do this' to 'wait, why does he taste better now' to 'no, I shouldn't think such things' to a repetition of all those thoughts. Luckily for him, her fangs were sharper than before, making the bite relatively painless, more like a sting than anything. Despite him tasting better than she remembered, she was also able to cut it off quickly. The awkwardness and forced nature of this all helped her keep her thirst in check. Having fed on Sophia prior also helped a lot. Even so, she couldn't help feel it. A thrill, an excitement, a wave of pleasure going through her entire body as the few sips of blood she took spread through her veins. The [monster] in her rejoicing at the fact she was taking life from another and rewarding her for it with an amazing feeling, regardless of how much she tried to tune it out and reject it. She hated feeling good from this, but that hadn't stopped the feeling. <br>
<br>
When she pulled away, she made another show of getting her fangs out of Cayde's neck again. To make it overwhelming clear she hadn't faked a thing. She truly was a [monster] and he truly had just handed over his blood. Even so, for just a short moment, he was perceptive enough to see her shake a little, thoroughly shaken by what she'd just done, by how it'd made her feel against her better judgement. It was only a split second though, as she got back into the act quickly after. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: #C71585"><b>“There. One down. You're going to own me for ordering me around, thrall.” </b></span> She headed over for Iberis. The girl's acting was amazing, more than she could've hoped for. It didn't help that Kalina was feeling doubts about this, as it made it only more difficult to figure out how Iberis would actually feel about this. What made it even worse was that she'd just realised how difficult it was to be commanded to feed upon her friends like that, even if it was an act. As much as she enjoyed feeding on Sophia, this was very different. However, if she stopped now, she'd undo Cayde's efforts. So... she couldn't stop.<br>
<br>
Once again, she made a show out of sinking her teeth into Iberis' neck. The latter would likely be even more relieved than Cayde, as the last time Kalina and Iberis met, Kalina admitted she'd possessed rather blunt teeth for a vampire. Teeth that had grown into much sharper fangs by now, which would draw blood with a lot less pain involved for Iberis. Still, that wasn't the biggest issue. At least not for Kalina. Cayde she respected, she appreciated, she valued. Iberis... she had already wanted to cuddle with prior to all this. She'd already felt a lot more physical affection towards the girl. To draw her blood directly, which also tasted sweeter than Cayde's due to the larger amount of mana in her veins (Magic D vs Magic E)... <br>
<br>
It wasn't just her [monster] side rewarding her. She also had her own feelings boil up, feeling like she had even more to fight with. She didn't want to feel good from this, as she knew fully well this wasn't right. Yet the [monster] influence in her was ever so strong right now. She found herself pulling Iberis in close making what should be a simple bite more intimate and once more felt herself running a hand through Iberis' hair. Part of her tried to convince herself it was just to calm Iberis. Another part knew fully well it was just as much an attempt to better deal with it herself and a difficult to suppress desire. She tried to stop herself, struggling to stay in control rather than getting lost in the moment. Unknown to her, getting lost in the moment was exactly the type of reaction that convinced the thrall. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: #7FFFD4"><b>“You're a real monster alright. An odd one, but a real one.”</b></span> She stated, her voice still cold and distant. <br>
<br>
Upon hearing it, Kalina snapped back out of it, withdrawing from Iberis with a bit of an apologetic look. Apologetic for letting herself get lost in the act. For enjoying what should be a mere deception. For actually taking more blood than a symbolic amount... She'd screwed up even more than she'd done with Cayde. Would Iberis be able to forgive her? Should she try to claim that it was just to act more convincingly? She'd have to sort herself out later.<br>
<br>
She shortly shook her head, as if trying to shake off the thoughts. Now wasn't the time to be apologetic, now was the time to do whatever she could for their deception to be worth something. To get information. She was trying to come up with an approach when she was shocked to hear someone else speak up...<br>

She turned towards Sophia. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“You get to have that whenever you want Sophia? No wonder you worship her, that seems amazing~”</b></span> <br>
<br>
Then she turned to Scylla. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“Seriously, girl, who would have them sip from their hands when they can get an amazing service like that? Especially with the gal just now!

Either this halfling was an amazing actor and deceiver or she had a few screws loose and a whole lot of fetishes. Probably a bit of both. <br>

<span style="color: #C71585"><b>“Before you do that.”</b></span> Kalina interrupted, worried that the thrall would be leaving before they could learn more. <span style="color: #C71585"><b>“You owe me. I've let you command me and played your game. Now play mine. Tell me, how'd your mistress get someone like you? See, these folk? The Fae's eager and moans rather than cries when I hurt her!”</b></span> Honestly, that part still confused Kalina, but she figured it would be great ammunition in the bluff she was trying to pull off here. A very dangerous bluff, for that matter, but one that might teach them a lot about the thrall. <span style="color: #C71585"><b>“The two I've just bitten fall in line easily, as you saw, the purple witch has a few funny tricks, but is otherwise pretty docile. Yet the mutt, she's got some desires to resist remaining. Just like you seem to have. Ah, don't lie. I can see it. You're not willingly serving your mistress, are you? You're forced to. Now that's some real fun. It's so much more fun when they hate what you do to them or what you're making them do. Willing victims are ever so dull and boring~ So... how'd she do it? How did she make someone as unwilling as you into her perfectly obedient little pet?”</b></span> Even with Deception D, this level of bluff was difficult to pull off, but she somehow managed.<br>
<br>
The thrall didn't reply at first, but her features told them everything. She was thoroughly enraged. It was like every fiber in her wanted to rip Kalina to shreds, but she was forced to hold back. When she finally did speak up, she spoke slowly, coldly and monotone. <span style="color: #7FFFD4"><b>“It is true, I do not serve willing. That much I can say...”</b></span> She fell silent again, as if having to carefully pick her words. <span style="color: #7FFFD4"><b>“I do not owe you an explanation, nor could I say anything that brings direct risk to my mistress or her mission, but I was commanded to respect fellow vampires, should I encounter them.”</b></span> Once again, she was lost in thought for a while. <span style="color: #7FFFD4"><b>“All I shall say is this; as a necromancer, my mistress holds certain command over the dead. As a thrall created by her, her infection holds power over me, like a curse flowing through my veins. As a necromancer, she strengthened the natural curse put upon me through the infection with one of her own necromancy. Her blood and her curse, those are what bind me. It is not something you would be capable off.”</b></span> To those with insight/empathy F, the last sentence seemed spoken with an undertone of relief, relief for being able to reveal this without the risk of it being used, perhaps.<br>
<br>
Even so, the thrall suddenly grabbed her head again, clearly in pain. <span style="color: #7FFFD4"><b>“I... spoke of too much.”</b></span> Something she said clearly wasn't meant to be shared, as it seemed like she got punished for it. Perhaps conflicting orders by the vampier had forced her into a loose-loose situation? At least the punishment didn't seem too severe... or was there more to this process? <span style="color: #7FFFD4"><b>“I shall speak of it no more. You've proven yourselves. Meet me again here, tomorrow night. If I see any signs of others having entered this place, I'll assume betrayal and you won't ever seem me again. Trust me, I will know. Otherwise, I shall discuss this meeting with my mistress and tell you what to do next time.”</b></span><br>
<br>
Kalina nodded. She had no clue what to make off these last things. Her mind was still distracted by what had just occurred with Cayde and Iberis. <span style="color: #C71585"><b>“Very well. We'll be back.”</b></span> She turned around and left, eager to get out of here. The thrall seemed to have her senses somehow stretch through this entire building somehow, or at least she seemed to have a trick to stay alert through-out most of it, so she decided not to take a risk and remained silent until they were out on Third Factory Street and a bit away.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #800000"><b>“I'm.... sorry.”</b></span> Was all she said, when they were out of reach. She was too confused by what she'd just gone through to say more or figure out what to think of it all. Had this really even been worth it? Her emotions still felt in turmoil, but sudden scenes of forests and two adorable looking kitsune's going through them filled her mind. She was still a bit too confused to speak on it, but she calmed a little and she flashed a gentle smile in Shion's direction.</div>

Scylla would stand idly for a moment, still coming to grips with things. It didn’t help that her hands pulsed with so much pain, perhaps her somewhat stern features was just how she dealt with pain. Her grip tightened a bit onto the rags in her hands. A silent hint of her frustration with herself.<br>
<br>
The witch put her hat back on, adjusting it a bit as it fit snug on her head. Then Yurena would begin her feast on those who were willing in the party. She found it a bit odd however, it all seemed a bit staged, like she didn’t think what was happening before her was indeed happening.<br>
<br>
She didn’t know whether to feel confused or disappointed, how was it that they fared better in their approaches. Well, much better than her anyway. They hadn’t made the thrall nearly attack!<br>
<br>
All of this and much much more was making her mind spin, although one couldn’t tell from simply looking at her. It would just be her coldly looking at Yurena, as she got the chills at seeing how her fangs pierced through skin. It made her.. excited.. but above all else.. curious. Her heartbeat quickened, wondering what it might feel like, and whether or not it was like some sort of public love affair? There was something sensitive about ones side of their neck. To be bitten there, or kissed would be a rather affair like act. <br>
<br>
When Kelsey began to lean on her about her approach, almost making her more dissatisfied with her actions. Her mind was somewhere else however, “I-imagine that was.. me?” She muttered innocently. “I.. why?” She asked aloud to herself. “I.. don’t know.. I mean..” she suddenly felt frail, and decided to speak up. “Hey wait a minute! Are you saying I’m into pain?! Pfft.. no.. you might be into all these wired pervy things but not me.. I-“ then the Thrall would interrupt, quickly biting her tongue.<br>
<br>
What followed was all manner of interesting details about the thrall. When she mentioned necromancy, she couldn’t help but once again look at Iberis. It seemed this topic had continued to come up for them. It was.. curious.<br>
<br>
Before long, the thrall would leave, and before she knew it she suddenly felt a warm feeling. Like, being overwhelmed with a degree of calm. She gave into the strange vision, and before she knew it, she could swear she was standing in one of the most serene and beautiful forests she’d ever seen. The witch would reach out, “How- Do you see that?” She asked as she stepped forward with her eyes mesmerized.<br>
<br>
She would follow Yurena out, “I wish you guys could see what I’m seeing!” She exclaimed happily.</div>

 </b>​</div><br>
As fangs pierced his skin, Cayde squeezed his eyes closed harder. It felt almost like a needle. Quick, sharp, but... painless? He opened his eyes, adjusting them on Kalina as she fed. <i>Painless. </i>None of that dreadful itching the old bestiaries used to say. No extreme weariness, either. <i>Nothing</i>. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"<i>Huh</i>,"</span> </b>He thought, a soothing realization easing his shoulders, <b><i><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"That was easy..."</span> </i></b>Then, Cayde watched curiously as Kalina pulled her fangs from his neck. <i>Still nothing. </i>Just the familiar sense of closeness after embracing a friend. It didn't make sense. Why didn't she do this back in the Marshes? What was so <i>wrong</i> with this?<br>
<br>
Cayde watched as she moved on to Iberis next. He noticed her shudder, only for a second. His eyebrows raised in mild concern. Was she feeling guilty? Embarrassed, maybe? Disgusted? For what? This didn't change anything. It hadn't hurt a bit. She'd still be a friend. And as Kalina pulled in Iberis, Cayde's eyebrows only rose higher. Wasn't she enjoying this? He wondered. Vampires <i>liked</i> to suck blood, didn't they? This was fine. She was okay. <br>
<br>
Before he could say it, Cayde heard the thrall start speaking again. He felt relief course through him as she deemed the act acceptable. That was good. Then, his eyes flitted to Kalina as she pressed the thrall for more details. His eyes widened as she did. <i>That</i> was great. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b><i>"We can work with that!" </i></b></span>He thought giddily, looking over to Scylla and Iberis. Perhaps they knew a thing about breaking curses. Maybe the vampire hunters did as well. Perhaps a new approach just opened up. He knew where to go next. <br>
<br>
But for now, keeping face. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Thank you," </span></b>He said, bowing his head to thrall, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"We won't disappoint. I promise." </b></span><br>
<br>
As the meeting ended, Cayde followed as the party departed, a smile growing underneath his mask. It felt strange to be this excited. Who knew giving blood would be this invigorating? <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"That went <i>amazing!</i>" </b></span>He cheered, lowering his voice shortly after. The thrall could've still been nearby. Better safe than sorry. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Let's get to the Tavern, alright? I think the Vampire Hunters are gonna want to know what we learned," </b></span>He looked to Iberis and Kelsey next, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Heh, I knew you two would've been good, but God, you <i>killed</i> it out there!" </b></span>Then to Shion,<span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b> "And that thing with the woods? <i>Awesome!</i> How'd you know I liked the See?" </b></span>Finally, to Sophia and Scylla, "<span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>You two held up amazingly. But Scylla...</b></span>" Cayde trailed off, his eyes drifting to her hands, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"You might want me to take a look at those hands. Can't have our leader hurt, can we?"</b></span><br>
<br>
Last, but not least, Cayde turned to Kalina. The optimism died in his voice as she apologized. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Is this about the blood...?"</b> </span>He said, glancing at Kelsey. She didn't know. He couldn't talk about it here. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Look, all you were doing was just playing a role. It's okay. None of this would've happened without you," </b></span>He nodded, warmth filling his voice, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"You can talk to me about it later, yeah?" </b><br>

			<div itemprop="text">
				
					<div class="bbWrapper"><div style="text-align: center"><a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/zzzshion1-png.1089215/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1026/1026345-8ba5c84b3f93f210868711428277e9b0.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="zzzShion1.png" title="zzzShion1.png" width="100" height="150" loading="lazy"></a><br>​</div>Shion watched as Cayde and Iberis were drank from, keeping extra careful watch around each of their mental states as each would be drank from. Cayde's own thoughts had inadvertently saved this entire endeavor, as when Yurena moved to drink from Iberis, Shion's instincts flared up inside her as her body burned with fire as she held herself back from removing Yurena from the one human she'd fully managed to connect with here. Cayde was right though, they'd come this far, letting her own actions compromise everything would be foolish. So she fought every instinct in her telling her Iberis was in trouble, she fought even harder not to show it.<br>
<br>
She just kept doing her job. Keep everyone at ease through this tense situation. Scylla in particular seemed to take a considerable amount of the memory to the point she got to see the smaller fox get surrounded by a few spirits as they swirled around her as her eyes lit up before they flew skyward, the two kitsunes using some kind of wind magic to enhance their jumping abilities as they ascended the trees with the spirits before the memory finally faded from her mind as they left the building. Even Chandra received some of the memory, to which she returned her smile with her own.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"You were witnessing one of my memories, Scylla. One of my favorite memories of the time I had with my father...I'm glad you like it. Wish I could do something about your hands too."</span> Shion explained to the witch as this was her first exposure to her magical telepathy with a gentle expression on her face after a small sigh regarding her frustrations about her present magical prowess. Suddenly, Cayde's enthusiasm came out in full force just as the magic faded from Shion's eyes. She couldn't help but chuckle lightly at him, she was happy things seemed to go the best possible way they could. He snapped his attention to Shion for a minute, and it caused her to blush slightly.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Well, you did say you preferred the woods to me earlier. That wasn't really what made me choose that memory either. It's just one of my memories not yet tainted by my first encounters with mankind."</span> Shion said to him, Iberis was still the only one here that knew about the darker recesses of her mind, she wanted to remedy that at some point. Chandra may have an idea given her fear within the building, but if no one would expect such emotions of her then that was good, it meant she had moved on enough from it that it wasn't plaguing her mind as much as it used to. Although exercising her new abilities so expansively definitely put her own mind at a more vulnerable state, she would have to hone that so she wouldn't feel her heart so laid bare during such moments. It was a miracle she didn't end up sharing some of her worst memories with everyone instead. She decided to back him up with Chandra too. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"We wouldn't have made it as far as we did without you, Chandra, every word you said and every action you took in their was vital to putting us right where we wanted. We even learned the thrall's bond to her master is a curse, which hopefully means it can be cleansed by a well-learned healer."</span><br>
<br>
She then turned to Iberis and approached her, finally letting her concerns take over. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Iberis, are you alright, you didn't lose too much blood did you? Let me see the mark."</span> Shion looked over the mage briefly as she viewed the bite mark. If Chandra hadn't been the one doing the biting Shion knew her anger likely would've boiled over at this point, but she simply remained in her calm yet still a little concerned state for Iberis' well being.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Would you like me to carry you until we get somewhere you can sit down?"</span> She then asked suddenly, although she didn't think her question unordinary in the slightest.</div>

Thankfully during the process the calming image which Shion provided did help considerably with the forestry, not to mention the beasts, this beautiful imagery  helped  Iberis to stave back quite a bit of her anxiety for the following events knowing that Shion was there with her doing this. Kalina was holding up the facade well enough of being a monster, and explaining away any questionable things that the Thrall wanted to cross examine her on it seemed. Deep down Iberis couldn't help but feel a bit bad for the thrall at this point particularly when it became increasingly apparent that it appeared that she was enslaved by her mistress rather than a will to genuinely work with her to propagate evil. Iberis just tried her best to keep her composure and act like everything was fine, not even looking Caydes way when Kalina bit into him as if to further solidify that this was behavior which she was used too and had no problems with.<br>
<br>
When Iberis was bit she stood strong, and took it, it was all so strange, to be pierced like that, just as Cayde's had been it was really just a prick if anything. Of course Iberis did find it a bit harder to pull off the stoic like she was used to being bit act when Kalina moved in a bit closer and felt her hair, making the whole thing feel a bit more intimate than Iberis had been expecting, but all she could assume was that it was part of the acting that Kalina was employing even if it almost made Iberis feel a bit flustered inside  at what was transpiring. She was completely unaware of the conflict  which Kalina was feeling in that moment about the possibility of enjoying the act, instead a bit more focused on how she was presenting herself so that the act was believable. Granted she did realize that the amount of her blood which had been taken..was probably more than was needed for a compelling act as she sort of felt the effect, and then saw the apologetic gaze as she turned to look at Kalina. Of course Iberis couldn't say anything then and there to comfort her which felt kind of bad, and the whole thing had just felt kind of strange to her..as she was left sitting with what just happened.<br>
What was at least reassuring and made Iberis feel a bit better out of the situation was when the Thrall said that Kalina made a convincing monster. Of course then Kelsey had to chime in inappropriately once again given the circumstances, but that didn't cause too much trouble thankfully.<br>
<br>
Iberis's developing Hypothesis was only confirmed when the Thrall went into a monologue in part where she confirmed it was not willing servitude, and then she revealed some information about a curse..this mistress was a necromancer which definitely peaked Iberi's interests..could she perhaps learn anything from this individual when they dealt with her?  Curses and Necromancy were things in Iberis's wheelhouse of skills so to speak..or the later would be soon enough when she got what she needed from what Audlich had shown her.<br>
<br>
Instead of bowing Iberis scoffed, <span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"Your Mistress will do well to have someone like me who actually  understands.then .We'll be there."</span> Staying in character until the very end with <b>Deception F </b>even while feeling a bit woozy now.<br>
<br>
Once the thrall was gone, Iberis turned to the others and nodded. <span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"Y-Yeah Kalina you and everyone else did ..really nice and thanks Shion..that. family scene you showed with the forest.. made me feel better than I would have fared otherwise.." </span>She said with a bit of a weak smile.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"And Cayde..probably has the right idea about..where we should head next and..Scylla you should definitely heal those hands up..when you get the chance." </span>Iberis was looking a bit paler than usual and it was reflected in her voice and the way she stood less sturdily.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"And it's..no problem." </span>She let out loosely to Kalina about the apology, not having as much energy as she thought to give better words than that.<br>
<br>
Then when Shion came over to her, she looked back and nodded. <span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"..I'm fine hah, just lost a bit more than I was expecting there, I haven't really eaten much today either, I'm sure it'll pass."</span> She said as positively as she could, not feeling amazing all things considered. She hadn't partaken in any rations earlier nor had she drunk much that day,  in addition her frame wasn't exactly super sturdy to begin with so the blood loss wasn't nothing, putting a bit more weight on her staff to compensate.<br>
<br>
Iberis felt a bit..like earlier, when Shion mentioned possibly carrying her. <span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"Oh uh..I don't know I couldn't possibly ask you to do all that..but if you want to stay close and just make sure that..stay upright, if you'd like to..help that'd be appreciated."</span> She replied, looking to Shion, ready to head wherever the group decided woozy or not.</div>

The bug gal grinned as she found a new partner in crime in the halfling.<span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"> "I know, right? It's so hot~"</span> She giggled before saying, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"If you ask, she might be up to drinking a bit from you, you never know~"</span> She sighed before listening to the Shakespearian rant that spewed from the thrall's mouth. She wasn't the biggest fan of it, but it didn't last too long, luckily, before the creep left. Once the artisan was sure she was gone, she sighed. "What an edge lord." She shook her head before glancing at the others.<br>
<br>
Her eyes fell on Kalina, widening before she rushed over to the vampire. She looked up at the girl before gripping her by her collar, pulling her down and planting a kiss on her cheek. She pulled her into a hug, doing her best to calm the vampire down.<span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"> "Hey, hey, you did what had to be done. No lasting damage. They're fine, and you're fine."</span> She glanced in the direction of the building they just left, a frown passing over her face as she said, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"And besides, It's not like she would have believed we were on her side if you hadn't."</span> She turned her head to stare into Kalina's eyes, her own passionate and almost having a force behind them as she said, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Do not beat yourself up about it. No. I know you will, so I am here to tell you if I see you beating yourself up about it or feeling down, or anything, I will kiss you until that's all you can think about, then I'll kiss you some more as punishment!"</span> She gave the vampire a glare before nodding, hoping her words got across.​</div></div>

<span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“Sooooo~”</b></span> Kelsey called out. Her voice sounded cheerful, but... there was a bit of a darker undertone. She'd been creating some distance right up until the moment Shion seemed to start planning to get in her way. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“You know the fun fact about acting and deceiving is that it doesn't really change your physique. Knowing you got the witch here pretty good and... mind filling me?”</b></span><br>
<br>
It was clear she was onto them. That she knew Kalina's act had been more than an act the moment she saw the vampire drink blood for real and she'd felt that suspicion confirmed when Iberis openly admitted she got a fair bit of blood taken. More so than an act would've warranted. Besides, she'd seen how 'Yurena' had taken blood and she knew better. That part wasn't deception, that was someone actually enjoying it. Some part of her had been curious for real, a large chunk of it had just been an act. After all, who was to say that <i>she</i> wasn't the one being double-crossed here, rather than the thrall? <br>
<br>
Kalina had already been feeling horrible, but this made it even worse. Worse enough for her to pull away from Sophia. <span style="color: #C71585"><b>“Not.. not now.”</b></span> She shook her head. What the hell could she say..? Something to apologise? To explain... To repent... should she lie? Claim to be like those Moonblessed vampires? No, she felt like that wouldn't work. Not at this point. She was lost on words. <br>
<br>
Thus she'd say what she wanted to say initially. <span style="color: #C71585"><b>“Cayde, Iberis... I really am sorry. I know you two got pressured into it, which is why it makes me feel awful to admit that... that was really nice to me, even if I didn't want to enjoy such a thing. I'm sorry.”</b></span> With that out of the way, she knew what she might be able to say to Kelsey. <span style="color: #C71585"><b>“Whatever you may think of me, I can promise you that I'd never want to do harm to others. Yes, I loved it, but not as much as <i>hate</i> that it happened this way. That's not how I want to be. I want it to be with people who truly don't mind it, or better, people who like it, like Sophia. Not any other way.”</b></span> Honestly, seeing Iberis low on blood made her feel even more horrible. Shion's compliment towards her, followed up by worry towards Iberis, made her feel worse. Not every action she took was vital. She could've taken less blood. Enjoyed it less. Felt less good from it. Somehow she should've figured out how to just act like she enjoyed did, not actually end up doing so. <br>
<br>
Perhaps how horrible she felt about it was what saved her, as some of it seem to ring true to Kelsey. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“Interesting...”</b></span> She mumbled to herself, then she looked at Sophia. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“For your information, I might have some kinks, but I'm gonna need a whole lot more reassurances before hooking up with a potential [monster].”</b></span> She then looked at Scylla. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“Although it'd be totally hot as I doubt the pain would outweigh any of the vibes it'd give off, perhaps it'd just make it better.”</b></span> The duality of her two sentences, spoken with equal sounding truth to them, was clear as day. Whatever was truly on Kelsey's mind was tough to read. At leas she didn't seem to be planning on betraying them or selling them out to the vampire hunters? Still, she did have questions. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“So, why are you here to begin with?”</b></span><br>
<br>
Kalina knew she'd have to formulate some sort of answer. Honestly, the truth seemed a safer bet than any lie she could come up with. <span style="color: #C71585"><b>“I'm planning to bring down the vampire, then ask the vampire hunters for their help. They might know how to help deal with my condition.”</b></span> There, the truth. It was out to another bystander. Perhaps she'd be just as lucky as she'd been with Shion? Hopefully. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“I see.”</b></span> Kelsey said, shortly, then nodding. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“Fair enough. Let's continue working on bringing that vampire down right? An enemy of my enemy is my friend, no?”</b></span> Her words sounded convincing, but seeing how well she could act and deceive, it was fairly impossible to know how much of it she truly meant. It'd be up to them to keep trusting her or not.<br>
<br>
As for Kalina, she just nodded. She felt too emotionally exhausted and conflicted to think more into this.  She then turned to Cayde again. <span style="color: #C71585"><b> “Yes... let's drop by the safe-house, so I can get changed again. I'd rather not meet the Hunters in this identity and outfit. Then we can go meet them.”</b></span> <br>
<br>
They'd succeeded. They'd learned a lot about the thrall and vampire. Kelsey seemed to still be on board, for now at least. So why did she feel so horrible? She felt too exhausted to care to find out why. Were Sophia to try cheer her up again, she'd gently yet firmly push her away again. She needed to think things through. She needed to think herself through. She had some flashbacks of what she'd done to Hope. There too, she'd felt good for just a second. Only to feel horrible straight after. Was this the same as back then? This had been with more consent, but still, it didn't feel right. How monstrous was it to enjoy something that others didn't give her willingly? That thought was what kept creeping up on her all their way towards the safehouse. She told them the could've refused, but how much of a real choice had that been? Not enough. Not enough at all. <br>

<br>
They would arrive at the Safe Room a bit later. From there, it'd not be far too the tavern the Vampire Hunters were staying at. For now, however, they'd have a short moment to discuss a few final things.<br>
<br>
Kalina made a beeline for the corner she'd left her 'Chandra' outfit and armour, taking off her clothes to change back into it like before. Her mind was still occupied by all sorts of things. <br>
<br>
Kelsey figured she'd check some things with the others. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“So... how do you want to deal with the Vampire Hunters, then? Are we just going to spill all we learned and hope they appreciate it, or are we going to play a game with them..? Oh, also, Sophia, don't forget. You owe me a hand. I've got no clue how long it takes you to make one, but I'd be neat if I could have one before we meet the vampire. Same, for you, mister Alchemist. I doubt Morana could do well without some brews in her system and from what little I've gathered, you're her new provider, right? Meanwhile, these two witches... you two know anything about necromancy? Might want to prepare some counters to it. Perhaps me and Shion can see about prying into Sverre mind. I've been thinking. What if she transfers my memories of him into him? I've got no clue how such a thing works, but it might, right?”</b></span> Kelsey had clearly been starting to plan for their next encounter during their trip here.</div>

How much she didn't trust Kelsey. Shion didn't just buy her Deception earlier, she actually believed the woman. And right now, doing anything for Widersia to her meant either dealing with all the vampires, or removing herself from the party at night to ruin all their plans to <i>actually</i> become a thrall. The moment she felt the halfling trying to slink away from everyone Shion had stood to her full height and glared the halfling down. Her following conversation with Chandra appeared to be enough to convince her from running, but it just made Shion more wary. She looked over to Cayde for a moment...Kelsey knew about her telepathy now, so her eyes would give away her intentions. She wanted his sharp eyes on her, for now she would have to hope Kelsey was back on their side.<br>
<br>
Once it was decided they'd be heading back to the safehouse, Shion swept Iberis up into a bridal carry before she could insist she was fine to walk on her own again. Shion seemed to manage the mage's weight just fine in her arms. She smiled at the mage briefly, but her visage became contemplative as she made sure Kelsey was never out of her peripheral vision the entire way back. She could also tell Chandra's feeling were still complicated even without her telepathy, a concern for later.<br>
<br>
Once back in the safehouse, Shion set Iberis into one of the seats their while listening to Kelsey's deliberations. She was actually impressed. She decided to<b> [Empathize F]</b> with Kelsey in an attempt to hopefully regain some of the trust lost.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"So this is the<i> real</i> you. Your interest in carnal pleasures may be real, and your vernacular may be tactless, but you've earned the position you're in. I can respect that. Your words back there to the thrall about wanting power to protect Widersia from anyone's desire to get their hands on this land was the first time I believed anything you said. Your devotion is commendable, and I will apologize for doubting your loyalty previously."</span> She left Iberis' side and approached Kelsey, kneeling down so the halfling wouldn't struggle to respond as she outstretched her hand for a handshake.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Actions speak louder than words, as someone who struggles with her prejudices I believe this down to my very soul. While words are all we can offer right now, I hope this convinces you at least some that we pose you nor Widersia any threat, and we are here to do a job and help Chandra overcome her darkest struggles. She's earned Morana's trust, she's worth yours, and she's earned mine, and I<i> guarantee</i> mine is <i>much</i> harder to gain." </span>Shion's final words shifted in tone as she finished her gesture of camaraderie, they felt dark, uncomfortably honest, and they felt like they hurt Shion to say. Nevertheless, she returned to Iberis' side once her little monologue was over.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"This power is still quite new to me, but I could attempt to relay your memories to Sverre's. My attempts to pry his memories out were unsuccessful earlier, and he didn't seem to want to remember either. As for the Vampire Hunters...if we are to trade info at all, I'd rather give them this information in exchange for how to help Chandra. However, I still don't like that Chima mentioned how disorganized they are, I fear if we tell them exactly where we're meeting the thrall before we meet, they could ruin everything we just went through."</span> Shion looked in the direction of the distraught vampire for a moment before looking back at Kelsey.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"We may not get knives in our backs, but the thrall is very confident she'd be able to tell if, say, some overeager hunters attempt to claim the kill ahead of us." </span>She didn't comment on the artisanry, that wasn't anything she was qualified to discuss.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Besides necromancy, what about this curse she mentioned? Is it possible to save her? Does anyone in this room possess the ability to cleanse such potent curses?"</span> Shion opened the floor to everyone else having said her piece.</div>

<br>
“M-my.. hands?” She asked looking at Cayde a bit confused, her mind was so caught up in defeat. Surely, it was crippling, she never lost. Her parents always bought her everything because she was their “little princess of the whole land!” They were the most superb scholars, they never failed, so why.. did she?<br>
<br>
"Oh you dont say? Heh. Oh yeah! My hands." She replied to Shion, but simply tucked her hands into her robe pockets. "Do you.. miss your dad?" She asked, a bit solemnly now, which was incredibly rare for the witch. "I do. You know? Your dad might not be with you, but for some of us we, we with they never existed. My daddy never really cared so much about me, just, you know? 'get good grades' and 'don't be a loser'" She said, altering her voice a bit to sound more like her dads, then sighed. "I suppose I failed, gave a part of my should away, got involved with vampires and all of my projects, tests, and homework are ALL overdue!" She rolled her eyes, "Sorry, I didn't mean to make it about me, i.. well.. lets just say I'm really happy you love your dad." She smiled brightly, it was really tricky to tell if Scylla was being genuine, perhaps it was her partly demonic nature, or whether she truly felt it. Perhaps both.<br>
<br>
She’d suddenly snap out of it for a moment, like a drowning sailor barely coming up for a breath of air.<br>
<br>
She blankly gave her hands to Cayde. “Here.. i.. it’s not as bad as it looks.” she leaned closer into Cayde. “Be honest with me..” her face really close to Caydes now, “..just how badly did I mess things up back there?” Referring behind them with her thumb. "How was that.. leader like?" She wasn't serious about the question however, it was simply asking for an opinion. Her ego might be crippled, but her spirit never failed!<br>
<br>
As the witch followed with everyone else, she could feel the collective sigh of relief once they were at a safe distance. Everyone now seeming more at ease. "I'm sorry everyone! I have failed you all miserably, I understand if I'm to be punished!" She winced a bit, and closed her eyes, before peeking with one at everyone. "However!" She fell to her knees, entwining her (likely healed hands) together, and bowing her head. Her Hat sadly falling off her head. "If I am to be forgiven, I assure you I shall not fail ever again!"<br>
<br>
---<br>
<br>
Much later, she found herself in a room, prepared to meet with the vampire hunters. Suddenly it seemed Kelsey had taken the lead. Considering she blundered earlier, she decided to play along, besides, she would be asking the same questions! "Right! Necromancy!" She said tapping Iberis with her elbow, "Iberis here knows everything you need to know! Don't ya Iberis o' darling?" Scylla would flick the halflings nose playfully. "And I might not know necromancy of the old ways, BUT I have a book that tells me quite a bit about those whom have left this plane and how they died!" Scylla made a smug face, sort of peeking at Kelsey seeing if she was impressed or not. "Of my own personal magic however, I suppose I could manipulate the frail little veil between life and death and bring you back. Being attuned to death, sometimes can equally attune you to life!" She shrugged, "This is completely off the record however! I have never tried such a thing in person, BUT I have reason to believe it will most, absolutely, positively, affirmatively, stupendously, splendidly, really really really work!" She gave a wink, and another flick on the nose. "Now.. can I have my leadership back? I want it back." She crossed her arms with a pout, then elbowed Iberis again. "Tell her to surrender her leadership back to me." She raised a fist at Kelsey, even if she was right infront of her, "or else!"</div>

A wistful expression grew on Cayde's face as Shion spoke of her father. He shifted his eyes a bit. This would've been the <i>perfect</i> time to share something. But nothing similar came to mind. Only camping with Uncle Zane. Making his first potion with him. Working the shop. Going through his "secret-alchemical textbooks" when he was out at the market. Asking about the weird abundance of underdressed Fae women in them. Getting grounded because of it. Good times. But not much about parents, though. Nothing vivid. Just a lot of moving. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Heh, yeah, that must've been great,"</span> </b>Cayde replied, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Simpler times, y'know..?"</span> </b>He cleared his throat. It felt strange not having anything more to say. Time to change the topic. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"But uh, Scylla! Where was I?"</b></span><br>
<br>
Cayde looked away to retrieve some antiseptic bandages from his med kit. He almost dropped them when Scylla got so close. That made it even harder to give feedback. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"O-oh, well, uh, you..." </span></b>Cayde paused, sighing gently as he took her hands. Giving advice was never his forte. He'd try anyway. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Well, you were very involved back there. I liked it. I don't think the thrall enjoyed that, though," </b></span>He said, removing the bloodied pieces of cloth, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"But you were reactive. Reactivity's good when something <i>needs</i> to happen. Not so much when everyone knows their role already," </b></span>He unrolled some bandages and wrapped them around her hands, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"I get it. You just wanted to help. But sometimes, the best option is to wait, yeah? Just watch them. Put your trust in them: let them do what they gotta do," </b></span>He looked up at her and nodded, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"They'll let you know when something goes wrong. Be the one to lead them then,"</b></span><br>
<br>
After saying that, a satisfied sigh escaped him. That was <i>easier</i> than he'd expected. But something new came to his attention as he released Scylla's hands. Kelsey found out. And Kalina... she wanted <i>what? </i><b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Wait, you..." </span></b>His eyes flicked between the two before finally landing on Kalina. So <i>that's</i> why she was here? Was she <i>trying</i> to become human again? His eyes widened. That was... great. <i>Really</i> great! Everything would be so much easier. No more blood, no more disguises, no more worry. She'd be free to do whatever. There'd be <i>so </i>many more adventures to be had!<br>
<br>
The smile on Cayde's face only waned a little when Kalina started apologizing again. None of that, he thought. Not after this fantastic news. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Nonono, Chandra, it's <i>okay</i>. I didn't mind it at all!" </b></span>He said, shrugging his shoulders, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Look, so what if you like sucking blood? You're a vampire. It is what it is," </b></span>He chuckled, voice full of optimism, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"But it's not gonna be like that for long, yeah? We'll get through this." </b></span><br>
<br>
Hopeful as ever, the trip back to the saferoom didn't feel so long. And almost immediately, there was talk about what to do next. Cayde grinned. One step closer to curing a friend. <i>Perfect</i>. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"I like the sound of that, Shion," </b></span>He said with a nod, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"You're right. I doubt the vampire hunters will be of much help taking care of the thrall. They <i>might</i> be better suited for going after the vampire herself," </b></span>He crossed his arms, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Emphasis on <i>might</i>. We'll need to see how disorganized they really are. But for now, they could know something about dealing with this thrall curse. Maybe a little bit about reverting vampirism, too..."</b></span><br>
<br>
When Shion posed her question on removing curses, Cayde cupped his chin. Perhaps there was something he could recall in his <b>[Encylopedia of the Arcane]</b>? He'd been studying his <b>[Arcana - E] <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Maybe..." </span></b>He said, removing the grimoire from his pack and flipping through the pages for anything that could help.</div>

Iberis replied once again to Kalina, upon hearing her apologize and feel bad, 'It's..not an problem we all  did what we needed to do." Even if it had felt strange with the way she had held her and done the deed, it was still intended to be part of an act even if it hadn't felt entirely that way so Iberis had nothing to complain about right? She rationalized, but even then it wasn't like she didn't let Kalina drink her blood usually, just this felt like a different experience entirely. Irrespectively she felt too woozy to really debate the issue either.<br>
<br>
While they were heading back to the safe house, Iberis was a bit surprised to have Shion pick her up just like that, as she looked at her almost a bit surprised by her strength alone never mind anything else that was transpiring.  <span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"Oh..it's..really okay..but.uh..thanks..Shion." </span>She said a bit softer toward the end with a bit of a smile on her paler than usual face on account of the blood loss, For now she could rest easy on the way back to the safe house in Shion's arms which felt kind of nice, all she really had to was hold onto her staff.<br>
<br>
Of course she heard Scylla apologize and go on a bit, <span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"You're still have many  great things to do  Scylla,  like I said you would..what's important is that together  we were bought another go at them.." </span>She managed to get out before going back to assuming a restful state where she could relax her heavy feeling head, perhaps the volume wasn't the most appropriate for the distance she was from her but it was what she could manage.<br>
<br>
Once Iberis was properly sat down she could rest better just leaning back and closing her eyes, not paying the most attention to what was going on around her for feeling a bit faint. But she did casually listen in to what was being said. Hearing Shion give a real talk to Kelsey was interesting to say the least, hopefully she'd take it well. Shion brought up a lot of good points in Iberis's opinion.<br>
As was Cayde not that long after like per usual, she was really glad to have him around  as he seemed to be quite competent.<br>
<br>
Iberis decided that at the very least as she recovered she could speak on some of the matters which were being raised at that moment, as she found herself being stirred with Scylla coming over and tapping her, before she looked over more tired than usual.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"Course you're still the leader Scylla.."</span> She said with a bit of a soft smile before returning to the question at hand.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"Yeah, it's something that I do actually know quite a bit about thanks to what a necromancer imparted in me, to my understanding there should be a way to lift the curse through healing ,  but I must admit it is quite a bit of information for me to look through even internally, but there might be some value in Shion looking into my mind even, I Know for a fact there's a lot there but...I will admit some of it was less savory than other bits, I don't really know how it all works..but something that's more specific could maybe be retrieved."</span><br>
<br>
She said to the group on the matter.<br>
<br>
She didn't have the most mental stamina or clarity in that moment, so she didn't feel as confident speaking on the hunters unsure if trusting them and just saying what they learned was the move or if they needed to be more cautious.  She then looked to Cayde curious as he seemed to be in thought.</div>

Cayde's [Encyclopedia of the Arcane] didn't teach him a whole lot. There were a few things commonly used to remove curses, magic with divine/light affinity backed up by religious knowledge and rituals were common. Another was high grade healing powers, often backed up by divine/light affinity or religious knowledge to cleanse curses and a final by magic backed up by dark/curse affinity to transfer curses from one thing into the other to 'cure' the original target. That was about all, as the cleansing or removal of curses was associate more with healing and religion than with the 'raw' arcane studies.<br>

Now back to being Chandra, she started getting dressed again. Cayde's an Iberis' responses were still stuck in her mind. It was surprising to hear Cayde switch gears so quickly... after she told him why she was here. Had that not been clear already? She thought she'd told him in her letter, but perhaps that had gotten lost..? Either way, she nodded. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Yes, I shouldn't be a [monster] for much longer, if this goes well.”</b></span> Whether she could fully revert her vampirism or change it was another question, but for now, she was glad to hear he was still on board with it. It was odd though. He accepted vampires for what they were, but clearly wanted her not to remain one as the result of that. It made her worried. What if she'd fail? Would he stop supporting her? Would he betray her? She shook her head, focussing on properly getting her armour on whilst trying to shake off such thoughts.<br>
<br>
Iberis' reply had made her feel worse even more. Especially cause she didn't what she needed to, she ended up doing too much (or at least felt like she had), indicated by Iberis' current state. In the end, all she could do was leave it to Shion, who scooped the girl up like it was nothing. <br>
<br>
She chuckled when she heard Scylla demand her leadership back from Kesley, but it reminded her of something she wanted to do before. She'd been too focused on herself, but this was something she shouldn't ignore. She heard other's words towards Scylla, Cayde telling her she'd done well enough, Iberis saying she was still the leader, but Kalina couldn't come up with any words of her own. So she'd just go for the second option. Perhaps she was a bit late, Scylla was already being cheery again after all, but she didn't care. Just after Scylla declared she'd want her leadership back from Kelsey, Kalina would attempt pull her in and hug her tightly. Regardless of whether or not that succeeded, she'd speak. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Honestly, I don't care if you're a leader or not. I'm just really glad you're here for me.”</b></span> <br>
<br>
Even more honest was that the hug was just as much for Kalina herself as it was for Scylla. She needed to remind herself that she could still enjoy having friends nearby without drinking their blood. For all the teasing Scylla had done and for all her own replies in kind, it was odd for Scylla to remain the one friend here she'd known for a long time without drinking from her, yet right now, that was exactly what she needed. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“I guess we're both still busy trying to find ourselves, aren't we?”</b></span> She'd then lower her voice, so that the others couldn't overhear them, or at least not easily so. <span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="color: #778899"><b>“You know you don't have to be a leader, right? If that's what you truly want, I'll try to support you, but even without it, I love you, having you around.”</b></span></span> She stumbled her words a bit in that last sentence, but figured it'd probably be enough. She'd eventually pull back with a feint smile. Her own emotions were still a mess, but hopefully this was something she'd been able to do right. Hopefully. <br>
<br>
She headed towards Sophia next. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“I'm sorry about before.”</b></span> She apologised. Feeling bad about pushing her away earlier. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“I've been alone for so long, it's difficult to now have so many friends to care about whilst having to fight my own nature.”</b></span> There was just one point on which she felt she had to put her foot down. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Yet I can't just have you try to keep distracting me from myself. I really appreciate your help, but... I need to figure out <i>who</i> I am, <i>what</i> I really am and most of all, who and what I <i>want to be</i> when all this is over. I know... I love drinking blood, but I loved it just then as well. You say that's alright, but it's not. With you, it's something you wanted and desires and it was great. With them, it's something they didn't ask for and were, at best, tolerating! Yet I enjoyed it? Can't you see how wrong that is? You can't just kiss such a thing better. How do I know if that isn't just me being a monster after all? Yes, sure, I keep worrying about it, so I know I'm not a full monster, but the part that loves drinking blood, regardless of who, when and how? What if that's just a [monster] in me? What if I need to get rid of it to be normal, to be... to be someone truly worth loving? To be a really good friend? Not just some... what the halfling said... some sort of kink.”</b></span> This had gotten a lot heavier than she wanted it too, perhaps also a bit more personal than she wanted to get with others able to overhear, but she sort-off got unable to stop after she'd gotten started.<br>

She laughed at Shion's remark. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“The real me, you say? Sure, sure. Let's go with that~”</b></span> She clearly enjoyed Shion's attempt at breaking down her character and position, but didn't respect the results. It was unclear if that was just an attempt to hide how correct Shion was or if she was different after all. There was, however, one thing she wanted to clear up. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“Becoming a [monster] means you become the threat. It wouldn't have helped Widersia a whole lot of I really did so.”</b></span> She quickly turned to Kalina. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“No offence, by the way.”</b></span> The vampire was too focussed on other things to reply. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“Anyhow, I can tell you one thing, none of you earned Morana's trust. That one's been through enough to never trust a single person again. At best you've earned her goodwill and cooperation. As for my own trust... Let's say I trust results more than anything and we just got some good results from that thrall~”</b></span><br>
<br>
The next part was more interesting. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“Does Morana know of this power of yours? She's pretty great at Analog and might be able to crack into his brain with your help. You might not even need me if she can just get him to go through some data recovery... Ah, that's construct talk for getting his memories back.”</b></span> She clicked her tongue at Shion's suggestion on what to use the information for. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“Disorganised as they may be, they should still be powerful. They'd had a name to themselves for over twenty years now. That's not an easy feat in such a business. Besides, you're all pretty good at prying into things, aren't you? Perhaps you can even figure out what got them so disorganised to begin with. Cayde over there seems good at fixing group dynamics.”</b></span> She shrugged at Shion's suggestion about curses. She had no clue.<br>
<br>
She wanted to make a deal out of being the rightful conqueror of Scylla's leadership, but the witch got targetted by a certain vampire first. Kelsey figured she'd hold off, for now. She was, however, interested in what these witches knew about necromancy. Especially the one that got carried over into this place, although she seemed pretty out of energy. Kelsey headed to the same cupboard Morana had gotten supplies from, pulling out some more jelly packets. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“Here, eat.”</b></span> She commanded Iberis.<br>
<br>
After a bit of thinking, she had another idea. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“How about this, we head over to the tavern and just check in for the night? Depending on what Morana and Sverre may or may not have told them, we could just spent the night there and observe the Vampire Hunters for a bit first, before deciding what to do, right?”</b></span> That felt like a decent middle-ground.</div>

While Iberis waited for something of interest to result from Cayde's recollecting information search, then there was quite a bit that Kalina had to say to  Scylla and Sophia, which Iberis tuned in for the bits she could hear with the other stuff that was going on in the room, the Scylla discourse closer to her, given Scylla had been in nudge range. It felt a bit reassuring for the group to have this verbal mending experience of sorts, as she was well aware as anyone that Kalina had been through quite a lot, it was part of why Iberis did not feel inclined to hold much against her with the intenal struggles she faced and then Renee not all that long ago. It would be much more productive for her to support Kalina instead and just help her feel okay with herself.<br>
<br>
iberis continued to listen to the discourse in the room between Kelsey and Shion with Kelsey's response. Nothing sounded too unreasonable for anyone, as well meaning as she knew the group that assembled here was, they were still ultimately outsiders in Widersia dealing with a dangerous situation. Kelsey, Morana, and Sverre, even the Baron didn't have any obligation to extend trust to any of them at the end of the day, and Kalina's dubious status which as more was revealed about her the less trust they really needed provide if it became apparent to them she was even just half monster.<br>
Regardless Iberis did not have much to add to the ongoing exchanges Kalina was having.<br>
<br>
Iberis also wasn't really sure where she fell into the mix, while she wasn't half monster she still had an undead leg which was far from usual that Audlich had bestowed upon her/ However as creepy has the visage he had bestowed upon her in her mind, it was actually a bit more comforting now, he had turned out to be a noble man even if he had used some less than ideal tactics to get there, it had been for the greater god Iberis knew this much with how much that group had sacrificed to stop that evil woman from ascending into Oll..Indeed Iberis now had a large storage of necromancery related wisdom in her mind.<br>
<br>
In her own thoughts once more in her tired haze she perked up when Kelsey provided her some of the jelly and told her to eat.. <span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"Thanks..Kelsey." </span>She said with a small smile before she opened them up and began to diligently eat what she could there, at the very least it'd hopefully help her feel better. Iberis then listened to the follow up while she ate as Kelsey shared further thoughts.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"That sounds like a reasonable move forward in my opinion..given what we know."</span> It not taking long of sitting after eating some and she was already looking slightly better than before just from the way she sat and spoke.</div>

Cayde mumbled something as he flipped through his grimoire. Nothing too substantial about curses stood out except for a few passages regarding the use of healing and religion. <i>Ceylan</i>, he thought. He could handle this if he were here. But he wasn't. Ceylan was off doing... <i>whatever</i> wandering priests did. And well enough to almost have the title of bishop. He must've grown so much. <b><i><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Focus..."</span> </i></b>Cayde told himself, shutting the book with an audible sigh. There'd be plenty of time to catch up when this was over. He'd just hoped it wasn't too late. <br>
<br>
Coming back to the present, Cayde listened as Iberis spoke on necromancy. One thing she said caught his attention immediately. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Wait, you <i>met</i> a necromancer?!"</span> </b>He looked between Iberis and Scylla incredulously. First, Scylla spoke of "<i>the land of the dead,"</i> and now Iberis had encountered someone of dark magic? Where was the academy sending these two? What could they've possibly learned there? Cayde shook his head, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"A story for later, I guess. I'll tell you what I know,"</span> </b>His eyes settled on Iberis, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"From what I read, Light or Divine magic paired with religious knowledge is the most cookie-cutter method to break curses. So is a high proficiency in healing magic, but it requires that type of knowledge too,</span>" </b>Cayde's voice grew hesitant, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"There's also a method with darker, curse-oriented magics to transfer one person's curse onto another. I don't know <i>how, </i>but... it's an option,"</span></b><br>
<br>
He sighed and rubbed at his temples, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"As far as I know, we don't have any priests or paladins in this room. But Scylla, you <i>do</i> know some healing, right?"</span> </b>Cayde asked, turning to her, <b>"<span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">It might not be enough to thoroughly cleanse the thrall, but Iberis said healing helps counter necromancy. And we know a piece of the thrall's curse is centered around that. So perhaps we could weaken it...? She might not be happy afterward, but maybe that'll present an opportunity to learn more about her master?</span>" </b>A risky strategy, Cayde thought. It'd need to be tweaked, but that's why everyone was here. Their input was essential. <br>
<br>
As he awaited it, Cayde looked at Kelsey as she spoke. He shook his head slightly as she mentioned Morana. It sounded <i>almost</i> true. Surely, Morana could look at them with something more than just cooperation? <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Well, even if she doesn't trust us, I hope she at least knows that we care,"</span> </b>He said solemnly, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"I've heard of what she puts in her body, and I've seen what it does to her. She doesn't deserve it. And while I may not be her provider... she needs something better," </span></b>Then, as Kelsey gave her suggestion, Cayde looked to Shion, giving her a nod. She was <i>great</i> with people. He'd no doubt she'd excel here. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"But back onto the topic of the tavern, I'd say we should go. Let's just finish up what we've going on, yeah?" </span></b><br>
<br>
With all that said, his eyes covertly drew to the cabinet filled with rations. There were <i>more </i>of those jelly things? Well, it was alright the first time... <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"And one more thing," </b></span>He pointed to Iberis jelly-pack, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"<b>Can I get another one...?" </b></span></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Upon hearing Caydes suggestions, Scylla relaxed a bit. “Hm, yeah you’re right.” She said in an oddly serious voice. “I don’t have to prove anything. I simply need to trust my team.” She repeated in her own words, remembering that was how she usually got assignments memorized. “Thanks Cayde.” She said, before hissing a bit. “Ow ow ow!” She protested with a shrill whisper. “I forgot regular healing methods involve a bit of a sting!” When Cayde wrapped her hands, she watched silently as he spoke. When he was finished she sighed, “that’s it?” She said, before turning around.<br>
<br>
“Right. So-“ then Kalina embraced her, the witch blinked a few times, in disbelief. She’d then softly embrace her back herself. “Oh. Public display of affection?” She giggled a bit but was cut short when Kalina then mentioned her inner conflict. She stuttered, “W-why I.. but of course I- well what I mean is that-“ she fought back a tiny little salty tear that wanted to escape her eye. But this wasn’t the time for that! No. Not leader like! “Of course I want to be the leader! But Kelsey took my title!” She pointed at the halffling while still embracing the vampire. “Give it back!” She protested. Then her eyes widened at Kalinas comment about finding herself, “I..” she started as she thought hard about her words. “..you’re right. How silly right? How does one not know themself?” She held her close again, before letting go. “You’re doing wonderfully, K.” <br>
<br>
It wasn’t long before the conversation next to her traveled to the topic of necromancy, she was so eager to tell Cayde all the juicy details that transpired in the underworld. And how one named Hope and him would be the perfect date! However, instead she tapped her foot a bit anxiously as she listened and crossed her arms although she was excited. <br>
<br>
When Cayde addressed her she stepped forward, “Yes, I do know a degree of healing. In fact! I know more than my fair share! There’s a whole library under this hat!” She giggled. “My ability will be more than enough, Cayde. Well. As far as healing goes! Oh how I’d love to move that curse to someone more fitting for it!” She glanced at Kelsey for a bit then looked away feigning confusion. “Anyway! I also know a bit of the darker stuff, don’t ask.. just know that I know! Might work might fail and if I fail then we need a plan B!” <br>
<br>
“Wait! You like those jelly things?!” Scylla looked at Iberis and Cayde. “Why!!??” <br>
<br>
She feigned a gag before shrugging and heading out the door. “To the tavern it is then! Maybe this town has a baker!”</div>

She didn't think Scylla could show such emotions, it caught her completely off guard to where she couldn't really respond for a moment.<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)"> "Y-yes, I do."</span> She managed to get out before listening to Scylla's brief excerpt on her own father. Her ears twitched slightly as she couldn't really offer any comfort while carrying Iberis back to the safe house. She'd try to make some effort to cheer the witch up later.<br>
<br>
--<br>
<br>
Shion was convinced she was never going to get along with Kelsey. She tried her best to reach out to her, and even if she was right, which she wasn't entirely certain, Kelsey didn't really attempt to meet her halfway. She even went out of her way to say that Morana's relationship with them wasn't worth anything either right now. She was beginning to see why Morana had such an antagonistic relationship with the halfling. Kelsey didn't even return her gesture for a handshake, despite Shion's efforts Morana was the only person she felt she might be able to connect with in this city. <span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)"><i>Good...easier to put it behind me when this is all over...</i></span><br>
<br>
<b>From now on, treat everything Kelsey says as if Shion is searching for lies and half-truths with Insight [F].</b><br>
<br>
Shion's foul mood didn't last too long once she returned to listening to the conversations around the room. At the very least, she agreed with Kelsey's idea. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Yes, I think we should head to the tavern, it'd be good to find a suitable place to rest for the night."</span><br>
<br>
She turned her attention towards Iberis, who had talked about searching her mind for knowledge on necromancy. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Once things have calmed down for the night, I suppose I could try my best to see what I can find. It sounds like we'll be able to cure the thrall with the right circumstances. I can also try this...data recovery thing with Sverre tomorrow before we get under way with the day's events."</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: null">Shion then turned to Cayde and couldn't help but chuckle. </span><span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Taken a liking to those rations, have you?" </span><span style="color: null">She teased a little, before overhearing Scylla's little outburst during her embrace with Chandra. Shion wanted to scold her about how turning Kelsey into a thrall would just mean they'd have to kill her instead of the other woman. But she figured she'd gotten onto her enough for the day, and it was likely an empty threat based on how she typically acted, so she simply sighed with a weak smile formed afterward. She couldn't help but continue feeling she'd stumbled upon such an interesting group with how vastly different every one of them was from each other while still being so close to one another.<br>
<br>
Shion did however feel she wanted to try and make her feel a little better. So she spoke up. </span><span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Scylla, just because Kelsey's <i>a </i>leader doesn't mean she's <i>our</i> leader. That position was never taken from you."</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: null">Once the group was on their way to the tavern, Shion would once again be the one carrying Iberis should she show any signs of struggling to walk.</span></div>

She'd listened to Cayde's suggestions, not interrupting save for a few points. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“I know a few that might have the right magic, but either they're far off on a quest or they'd rather murder than save a thrall, so don't count on my network.”</b></span> She shrugged at her reply regarding Morana. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“If she let's you help her, that's probably a win-win situation, so I'd say give it your best shot.”</b></span> Like the others, she was actually sort-off surprised he liked the jelly's. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“Sure.”</b></span> She tossed him another of it. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“I can even tell you where we get them, if you want~”</b></span> She added with a wink.<br>

When Scylla hinted at turning her into a thrall, she flashed her (very plain and normal) teeth back. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“If these ever turn into fangs, they'll be in your neck first~”</b></span> She promised Scylla. <br>
<br>
Try as she might, Shion wasn't able to make heads of tails of Kelsey. To the halfling, it was like deception, truth, banter and seriousness were so interwoven that it was never clear where one ended and the other started. The only time she'd really sounded fully sincere was when she'd expressed her loyalty towards Widersia. All other times, it was unclear. <br>

It was odd. Scylla was still Scylla, but it felt like the longer she'd hugged, the closer to her actual feelings Kalina got. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“At least we know that we don't know, right?”</b></span> She answered on how silly it was not to know themselves. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“It'd be worse if we only thought we knew...”</b></span> It was almost tough letting go, but she smiled at the compliment. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“If I'm doing well, then you're doing outstanding for sure.”</b></span> Truthfully, she believed neither of them were doing well, but there was no need to bring that up. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: #778899"><b>“I ehh... can take over, for a bit. It's my fault, after all.”</b></span> She asked as they were heading down the shopping district with Iberis potentially being carried and/or supported by Shion. The latter not having any type of Super-Strength and having general Strength E alone would start feeling her arms grow tired, especially having brought Iberis to the safehouse already. She still felt guilty.<br>

The street at which the tavern was located was an odd one. It was a shopping street, but clearly one in a poorer part of town. Right now, this late in the evening, there were barely any people around. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“There's your bakery, although it's long closed by now.”</b></span> Kelsey pointed at a building. Most of them were closed this late into the night. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“That's where they sell those rations.”</b></span> She pointed towards another building, an oddly small store in width but very deep, like a very long hallway with shelves to both sides. Finally, they stopped before a tavern, which she led the others into.<br>

<span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“Welcome to the Rusted Nooze!”</b></span> She spoke up, as she showed them into the small tavern. There were some decorations, a fireplace, a bar and some stairs to an upper floor in the back. There were a few people there, but only two of them stood out. One of them greeted them upon arrival.<br>

The only other person that stood out was a gruff looking dwarf with an odd device strapped to his arm. He was smoking a cigar at the bar, with some hefty looking booze next to him. Upon seeing the group enter, he spoke up. <span style="color: #A0522D"><b>“First Fromm's Hound shows up with a Marshall that has a few screws loose, literally, now we've got the Queen of Perversion herself showing up with a most peculiar company? It's surely going to be a party in here.”</b></span> <br>
<br>
<span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“You'd be the first one getting forced to lick my feet, should I be made queen~”</b></span> Kelsey replied to the Dwarf without missing a beat. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“That's Theron, leader of the Vampire Hunters.”</b></span> She wasn't really expecting to run into him and be greeted like this immediately, but alas, what was done was done. It was up to the rest to see if they could make a better first impression. Or they could chose not to do so, perhaps.</div>

After hearing Scylla's input, Cayde smiled. It was good to see her rebound so quickly from after the thrall. Nothing ever got her down. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Great! So it's settled</span></b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">.<b> If we go with the healing plan, you'll be in charge,</b>"</span> Then, pausing to consider the second option further, he looked around at each party member. Passing the curse onto anyone sounded cruel enough. Giving it to someone here was utterly unacceptable. But maybe it didn't have to go to <i>someone</i>. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Hmm, the book did say curses could be moved from one thing to another..."</span> </b>Cayde said curiously, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Perhaps we could move it onto something instead of someone?"</span> </b>He snapped his fingers, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Or we could try both methods. Weaken the curse with healing first, then pass it onto an object. Maybe that could work."</span> </b>Cayde nodded, yet his brows still furrowed underneath his mask. There was still so much he didn't know. A meeting with the vampire hunters could fix that.<br>
<br>
As he caught another pack, Cayde began to remove his mask. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Ah, thanks a bunch, Kelsey,"</span> </b>He said, quickly prying open the container, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"And sure, wouldn't hurt to know what I'm putting inside my body,"</span> </b>With a few big gulps, he made quick work of the jelly, sighing contentedly. He was right. It <i>was</i> as good as the first time. As the flavor sat on his tongue, he shifted his attention to Shion. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Heh, well, it isn't fried cockatrice, but it gets the job done,"</span> </b>Cayde replied playfully. It'd been a while since he'd eaten that. <i>Petryfyingly good</i>, he remembered hearing. They hit that on the spot.<br>
<br>
Next was Scylla, a devious grin spreading on Cayde's face. <i>Maybe</i> it wouldn't hurt to mess around a little. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Oh, it's not <i>that</i> bad, Scylla," </b></span>He shrugged flippantly, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Just think of it as slurping up a slime, yeah? Has an <i>amazing</i> mouthfeel. You should try it!" </b></span> But before Cayde could beckon to Kelsey to toss him another, he heard Shion re-affirm Scylla's leadership. For a moment, he looked between Kelsey and Scylla. Was Kelsey making her <i>this</i> competitive? Perhaps he needed to add something, too. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"But in all seriousness, though," </b></span>Cayde said, clasping his hands together, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Remember that Kelsey's only been with us for a bit, Scylla. You've been here since the very start. And look at how <i>far</i> we've gotten," </span></b>He gestured to the room, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"We did all this with you as our leader. Nothing'll ever change that," </b></span><br>
<br>
With that, Cayde followed as the party went to the tavern. He stopped to survey the building Kelsey pointed out, eyeing the shelves. It felt odd. A lot of food, maybe. Not many options. Better than nothing, he supposed. The folk in the Underbelly would've killed for this. Literally. But after that, it was an easy trip to the tavern. Cayde stepped inside and looked around, his eyebrows raising. Where were the vampire hunters? Or Sverre? Or the Baron? Were they asleep? Did constructs even <i>need</i> to sleep? <br>
<br>
Then, his eyes moved to Morana. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Good to see you again, Morana,"</b></span> Cayde gave her a friendly smile. She still seemed just as eager as before.  <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"I'd say so. Learned a bunch, too." </b></span>He looked past her as Theron spoke, hearing Kelsey give the dwarf a 'proper' introduction. He rolled his shoulders as he stepped forward. A little formality wouldn't hurt, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Takes a while to get used to her, right?" </b></span>Cayde extended a hand, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"A pleasure to meet you, sir. I'm Cayde. Behind me are Chandra, Shion, Iberis, Sophia, and our leader Scylla," </b></span>His eyes darted to the gadget on Theron's arm. It looked completely foreign to him. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Cool handiwork you've got there. What's it do?" </b></span><br>
<br>
As he awaited an answer, Cayde took another glance around the room, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"And one more thing, if you don't mind. Baron Fromme told us all the hunters would be here. Where is everyone?" </b></span></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Scylla would perk up at Caydes approval. “Totally!” She agreed, “All we have to do now is find a teddy bear and haunt the inanimate thing with the curse and watch it become this cute and cuddly blood sucking thing!” She giggled, and elbowed Cayde a bit. “You’re a total genius!”<br>
<br>
Then a more heartwarming flow of comments about Scyllas worthiness, which nearly made her tear up then and there. But no.. not leader like to cry! “I.. You really think I- I mean, yes! I’m most humbled by all of your lovely words. I hope to keep serving to the best of my ability! Mhm, and Kelsey.. you hear that? I’m leader again! BOOYA! Shorty!” She winked, before giving her a hiss and a fierce look. <br>
<br>
She was quickly disgusted by Caydes imagery of what the goo stuff tasted like, she had a weird thing about textures, she almost threw up in her mouth, it was audible and she brought a hand to her mouth. “That’s not funny! I’ll totally hurl my cake! That’s absolutely disgusting! Never ever put that anywhere near me! Ew ew ew!”<br>
<br>
<br>
Scylla shuddered at the display of dull teeth. “R-right. Not a good idea I suppose. I’m sure you’d like that a little too much.” She muttered, a bit unapologetically. Perhaps it was the little contest she appeared to be feeling or perhaps her leader like instincts were simply malfunctioning. Perhaps a bit of both.<br>
<br>
Chandras intuition was totally on point, she usually kept anyone from getting too close both literally and metaphorically. Embraces easily made her crumble like a cookie. Which she made sure to usually steer clear of, but this was a surprise and well, she had no choice.<br>
<br>
Scylla would have likely begun to purr, but she broke the embrace right away and awkwardly tapped the vampires shoulders a bit bashfully. “Y-yes of course. I’m positive we will find our way. Well. At least what remains of my humanity believes so.” She smiled quickly before kissing her own finger and pressing her finger on Chandras cheek. “Chin up, K!”<br>
<br>
As the party walked through the town, and mention of the bakery being closed, Scylla whimpered, “AW!! B-b-b-b-but why?!” She fell behind a little bit looking at the bakery with watery eyes. “You.. fiends!” She muttered before following after the others. “Hey wait up!”<br>
<br>
Once inside the Rusted Nooze she happily walked up to Morana. “Hey you! Missed me?” The witch would curtsy and nearly went in for a hug but quickly stopped herself in her tracks. “Heh, heh, right. Boundaries.” She pursed her lips a bit before addressing the other more burly type.<br>
<br>
“Kelsey, my word!” She gasped at the halfflings remark before addressing Theron, “Why, you’re absolutely charming sir Theron.” Shed curtsy again, but this time lost her footing and stumbled forward a bit, bumping her head against his on accident. “Ow! Ow! OW!” She got up quickly, a bruise on her forehead. “Are you okay Mr. Theron? My most thorough apologies!!” She rubbed her arm a bit before then rubbing his forehead a bit, albeit quickly before stepping back with an embarrassed chuckle.</div>

<br>
She perked up when Cayde made the assertion that she met a  necromacner, which was true, truthfully it was much more know than just knowing him..when he said it was a story for later she nodded, <span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"Yeah, you could say that I've talked to with  necromancer before." </span>She confirmed.<br>
Sometime afte that dialogue and of Iberis listening she, giggled some at Scylla's comment about the jelly and Cayde's subsequent embleishments targeted at Scylla with the reaction she gave. Truthfully they weren't bad compared to what she had to eat on the street, and she wasn't really one to be picky or complain about any food that came her way since from a young age she wasn't always sure when the next meal would come her way, if she hadn't been so distracted earlier she probably would have partaken. If anything she was more eating them to hopefully raise her stamina some and get back on track faster with how she was feeling.<br>
<br>
From that point on she listened to most of the conversations going on in the room that she could without a ton to add herself personally, glad that it seemed they were in agreement that heading for a place to rest seemed like a good idea. She had already reaffirmed that Scylla was still their leader so it was nice to hear that others continued to reassure her too.<br>
<br>
Iberis acknowledged Shion's confirmation that it was something she could possibly try, which was good to hear, and she felt that she had warned her at least appropriately that there might be some not great things inside her head too she might encounter should she try. <br>
---<br>
Iberis didn't say too much when Shion helped her on their journey to the new resting site. All she could really hope at this point was that they  would find this tavern a safe place to stay the night and that Kelsey was a sincere ally even if some of her words were dubious at times , as much as the people saw the group as outsiders to them Iberis couldn't help but view them through the same lens as outsiders to the group who was working together for Kalina.<br>
<br>
She did look around at everything and give Shion some more smiles then and again, before she let out a bit of a soft, <span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"Thanks. again.I really appreciate it." </span> She also took notice of the strange environment while buildings were pointed out that were of interested on their way there. Feeling a bit bad for Scylla that the bakery wasn't open at this later time, after all that effort she really did deserve something sweet.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"This Architecture really is something huh?"</span> She said to no one in particular. She then heard Kalina say she could take over,  looking to her before  she then looked to Shion. She was perfectly okay either way depending on what the pair agreed upon.  Thankfully she was looking moderately better than before, but still not perfect by any means. She'd really need a good drink too no doubt to rehydrate.<br>
<br>
She looked on the inside of the Rusted Rooze curiously.as Kelsey introduced them to the space. <span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">" And thanks for the bit of a  tour there Kelsey.." </span>She said earnestly.<br>
<br>
She did take note similar to Cayde that there was a lack of people insight who they might have hoped to see. On the plus side Morana was there who was asking how things had gone and all things considered it had gone rather well as far as Iberis was concerned. <br>
<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"Yeah I'd say it went pretty well..we have a good set up in place." </span>she said to Morana figuring others could fill in the details as needed, seeing Scylla break the personal space and back up was a surprise, normally Scylla would have just gone for it in Iberis's mind but this was probably for the best since they had already found out how Morana felt about random hugs.<br>
<br>
<br>
Thankfully they quickly found out they were hearing from the leader of the hunters which was good too, she couldn't say she had quite been expecting a dwarf to have the role. <br>
<br>
After Cayde's introduction she nodded, "<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">Mhm, Iberis Odhir here at your service." </span>Leaning onto her staff a bit with a slight bow.<br>
<br>
Indeed Cayde raised a good point where was the other hunters and Mr. S? <br>
<br>
<br>
Not long after that the bad news was that their leader  then proceeded to partake in an unplanned meeting of heads.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"Are you okay Scylla, Theron?"</span> Iberis asked looking a bit alarmed at thatShe hoped that Scylla hadn't hurt herself and that  dwarves had hard heads, any questions or further introduction she had in mind stymied by this unexpected change of events.</div>

Shion couldn't help but sigh at Scylla's assertion towards Kelsey after they encouraged Scylla's position as their leader. She wanted to speak up once again, but no, she would wait until tomorrow to start offering her wisdom to the witch again.<br>
<br>
As they started to leave, Shion's ears twitched as she heard something peculiar from Cayde.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Fried cockatrice? Color me intrigued, Cayde, I'd love to try some someday." </span>Shion stated her interest as she carried Iberis out the door. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"And let's just stick to removing the curse, huh? Last thing we need is the curse accidentally winding up on one of us."</span><br>
<br>
--<br>
<br>
Shion smiled at Iberis as she thanked her. She could help but chuckle. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"It's no trouble Iberis, I'm happy to assist. You were very brave back there." </span>Shion kept the fact she might've compromised everything if Cayde's thoughts hadn't calmed her enough to not instinctually react to Iberis ending up in a state of perceived danger. When Iberis pointed out the architecture Shion took a quick glance around, but she didn't say anything because she had nothing nice to say about it. <i><span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)">No reason to spark any stress in the girl for a superfluous statement, sounding like a broken record about this place will do no one any good...especially since we gain allies that I am less and less confident saying such things around.</span></i><br>
<br>
As they were passing the bakery, Chandra offered to take over carrying Iberis. It was true, Shion was beginning to feel it since she had only about half an hour before picking the girl up again. The kitsune shook her head at the woman.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Chandra, are you asking me because you want to help, or because you still feel bad about what happened? Because if you still feel guilty, then the answer is no. You have nothing to atone for, show some confidence that your plan succeeded and then some with knowledge that just might save that woman, and all it costed was Iberis-who has already forgiven you-needing a good night's rest and a hearty meal. Two things that shouldn't be difficult to provide."</span> Shion smiled at the vampire, her breathing heavier than usual.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Take it from this ancient, proud mutt you found: it took courage to do what you did today, and your friends were bolstered by that. Stand by their conviction, after all..."</span> Shion looked at Iberis with a smile. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"They stood by yours."</span><br>
<br>
She hoped using Chandra's faked insults earlier would help lighten her mood some, and hopefully she got through to her somewhat. She hadn't known her as long as anyone else here, but she admired her desire to be better than what the world deemed her. If Shion could help strengthen that ideal, much like she tried to be better, then she would. If she managed to get through to Chandra, she would happily hand Iberis off to her.<br>
<br>
--<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)"><i>Even this place of rest has to be so artificial...</i></span>a small frown appeared on Shion's face as they entered the establishment before addressing those waiting on them.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Good to see you, Morana. Where's Sverre?"</span> Shion asked curiously once they were in the tavern, figuring it'd be hard to miss the great metal mass that Shion still didn't quite like being around. She then heard Theron speak up, and then Cayde helped with introductions while she and Chandra helped Iberis find a place to sit...and then Scylla made a rather headstrong impression on the dwarf and she couldn't help but mentally sigh.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"A pleasure, Theron. As Cayde stated, I am Shion." </span>She placed a hand on her chest and gave a light bow to him.</div>

Sophia's eyes were downturned after working through the night on the hand. It was... annoying, having to work that fast, but she had completed the job. She wasn't exactly happy that she had to spend so much time on work when she enjoyed sleep, with her regeneration being the only reason she was still this cognizant. However, she completed her job, and would be excited for an actual good nights sleep on the next  day. She walked with the group, a frown plain on her face as she forced herself to keep her eyes open as she walked into the building of the vampire hunters.<br>
<br>
She looked over their leader, no small bit of annoyance in her mind, and possibly showing on her face, but that could also be attributed to the sleep deprivation. These guys, if they had done their job correctly, would have kept Kalina away from this place and thus, she wouldn't have had to go through her trauma once more. However, she also wouldn't have opened up to Sophia, but at the same time, Sophia would prefer her friend not suffering in the first place.<span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"> <br>

It felt like her undead heart almost started beating for a second, when Scylla suddenly became far more adorable. The finger-kiss was an odd thing, which made her wonder... Should she? Probably. Yes. A sign of close affection, one not tainted by a desire to drink blood. That's what she should go for. Unless Scylla would withdraw or otherwise look like she'd not want it, Kalina would lean in and place a gentle kiss on the witches' cheek. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“There, I'm fairly sure that's how they're supposed to work~ Far better than through fingers~”</b></span> She'd tease the witch. Yes, this was probably how things worked. She could do this. Be someone that showed affection without monster desires... or could she? After all, she did feel a slight desire when she'd gotten close to the witches' neck... Ugh. She shook her head. This wasn't getting anywhere, not like this. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“We'll definitely find our ways, as we've got each-other and our other friends to guide us, right?”</b></span> She'd finally say. Yes, that's probably what she needed. Perhaps she should just ask the others what they thought would make her a monster or not. In time. In time she'd ask them.<br>
<br>
As for the Iberis-carrying-duty, she was a bit taken aback by Shion's reply. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Both...”</b></span> She admitted. She wanted to help and she felt guilty alike, she wasn't sure where one started end the other ended. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“It's not that part that I worry about it's...”</b></span> Well, she'd just made up her mind to ask. So... Should she already do so? She looked around. The streets seemed empty and quiet enough, at least. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“I'm just worried... worried about which feelings are mine, which are a monsters. Which things I enjoy are 'me' and which are the monster in me. That's... that's what I fear. Which parts of what I feel and do I should allow to happen and which I shouldn't, which I should get rid off and which I'd be allowed to keep... I know I don't want to be a monster, but after seeing people like Sophia exist, I'm even more confused... She keeps saying she loves it all, but I'm still not sure which parts of me are the real monster... Then... it's also tough... to know what my feelings are, for others, I think... I'm sorry. My head's still a mess.”</b></span> That did not at all go smoothly. Still, there was one thing she figured she could say with confidence. Or at least, she'd try to do so, to lighten the mood a bit, even though she'd sound too sincere to sound like she was teasing. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Although one thing I do know, carrying Iberis would be a privilege, not a burden!”</b></span> <br>
<br>
That said, Shion's joke didn't even really land at first. Kalina's mind was clearly on the serious [Critical] mode right now, in particular towards herself. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Thank you, I'm really glad we ran into you. Although my conviction hasn't changed, I still want to see if I can be changed, it's just that I'm no longer sure which parts of me need changing. How much of it needs to go, how much of it could stay... Things like that.”</b></span> That's when the earlier mutt joke landed. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Although I'm fairly confident I know that enjoying the softness of thou heavenly fur isn't monstrous, so there's one thing~ If I'd ever call you a mutt for real, I'd be a lost cause for sure!”</b></span> Her mood had slightly bettered. She was still conflicted, just a tad bit more confident they'd pull through. Somehow.<br>
<br>
[Critical] - Character has an easier time finding fault with anything and anyone. They are less likely to be caught speechless or without an opinion.<br>

<span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“How'd you know those were made of slimes?”</b></span> She asked when Cayde compared drinking the jelly to slurping up a slime. Her tone of voice didn't have the slightest hint as to whether or not she was kidding. <br>
<br>
The notion of people continually reassuring Scylla she was in charge got her to grin. Especially as the girl herself kept going on about it as well. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“Miss, you have me perplexed~ How could someone of such magnificent leadership end up having felt so threatened by a few little suggestions of mine? Do you, per chance, feel like you're not actually doing a good enough job to be so insecure?”</b></span> She said with a wink. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“No worries girl, I don't need to lead. I just want to get a job done. You do you, I'll do me.”</b></span><br>
<br>
That said, she couldn't help laugh a bit at Scylla's dramatic scene in front of the closed bakery. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“They'll open again in the morning. At 7:00 sharp! You'll have another chance.”</b></span> She stated to console their magnificent 'leader' a bit.<br>
<br>
She also chuckled at Iberis' words. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“You're welcome for the tour, but trust me if I'd say I'd rather tour folk through the shire. It's the nicer part of Widersia. Beautiful nature, good food, good drinks, decent folk. The parts you'll want to protect.”</b></span> (To Shion, who'd be spamming her insight, this sounded slightly more sincere than usual, if only for a short moment.) <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“Anyhow, you're getting me jealous girl~ I'd like my own carrier service as well!”</b></span> She couldn't abstain from commenting on Iberis being carried around just like that. <br>

Scylla would see Morana get ready for an 'hug' of hers, except with a clawed combat arm that would probably make a hug with her one of the sharpest most painful hugs ever. Likely on purpose. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“Oh my, you learned about boundaries? You went through a lot of personal growth in my absence.”</b></span> She stated, legitimately surprised. Then she turned to Cayde. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“Good to see you again as well, sir.”</b></span> She was still at his command, for better or worse. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“I'm glad to hear things went well.”</b></span> She replied to Shion, Cayde and Iberis. <br>

<span style="color: #A0522D"><b>“Yep, Theron, that's me, nice to...”</b></span> He started, only to suddenly get headbutted by Scylla. Within seconds, the device on his arm found its way to Scylla's stomach, ready to pierce through her guts, but as she got up and apologised, he relaxed again. Then laughed. <span style="color: #A0522D"><b>“Well, that's one way to introduce yourself. You got a sturdy feeling skull girl, could be an honourable Dwarf.”</b></span> He joked, but then his features changed a bit. <span style="color: #A0522D"><b>“Although you'd best be careful. I nearly assumed you were some hidden monster trying to assassinate you and was ready to finish you off for a second. Folk in my profession are quick to attack or they'll die young. Considering my age is getting there...”</b></span> He hinted at the fact it'd been a really close call or Scylla had gotten some first-hand experience with the full brunt of that device on his arm.<br>
<br>
He then stood up, accepting Cayde's handshake. <span style="color: #A0522D"><b>“Theron, nice to meet you.”</b></span> As for his weapon, he smirked. <span style="color: #A0522D"><b>“Let's just say you wouldn't want this stuff in your system if you're a monster. The rest is a trade-secret.”</b></span>  Cayde might be able to learn more from it, but he'd have to observe it from up close, which would mean leaning into the Dwarf's arm at the moment either during the handshake or after. Both might be awkward. <br>

Anyhow, can I get you anything to drink? Or would you like to check in for the night as well? I have some beds left. Three unused beds in the room the Vampire Hunters are staying at, those would all be bunk-beds, so one of you would have to sleep above mister Theron here.”</b></span> <br>
<br>
The Dwarf shrugged. Not seeming to mind it too much.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #E6E6FA"><b>“We normally don't have a lot of guests though, so the other two rooms I have left right now would be a bit... unconventional, perhaps, if you'd wish to stay here. We have two suits we normally rent out to recently married couples, each with a single large double-bed. I'll admit I occasionally rent it out for larger groups that don't mind the lack of privacy and just need a good bed for the night. Of course, you'd also be welcome to just put down sleeping mats in there, should you have them. Either way, I charge per room, so it won't affect the cost.”</b></span> He listed off, in a manner that suggested he'd made similar deals in the past, for shady or not-so-shady reasons. <br>

<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"I am glad you've calmed down some, otherwise I might've also given out by the time we got to the tavern. Last thing I need is for you to feel sorry about both of us." </span>Shion chuckled a bit, thinking she would've made it just fine, but she might not have been much better off than Iberis if she had carried her so much. Plus she thought it would genuinely do Chandra a bit of good, even if she didn't want reinforce any notions of atonement Chandra might have been wanting.<br>
<br>
She smirked when the comment about her fur came.<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)"> "At least you claim such with confidence, I'd be worried about letting you do it again otherwise."</span><br>
<br>
Shion's arms rested behind her back as they walked, staying close to Chandra and Iberis in case she needed to help, although she doubted it. Eventually she spoke up again. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Chandra, finding out who we are can take our entire lives sometimes. I've fortunately lived long enough I was able to start viewing myself more critically and strove to be better. Not everyone has that luxury, but one thing I can say...if you ever need an ear to listen to you work out exactly who you are, I'm willing to listen."</span><br>
<br>
She leaned forward a bit and turned her torso some so she could meet Chandra's gaze with her smile with minimal effort on the vampire's part while they walked. It gave a pretty good view at Shion's bare skin for both the vampire and the mage too before she walked upright again. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"That offer goes to you too, Iberis. I'll even do it without a blood playment."</span><br>
<br>
Shion's elbow nudged Chandra's shoulder as she chuckled, hoping the vampire would take the jape in good faith.<br>
<br>
--<br>
<br>
<i><span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)">There's a shire here?! Goddamnit, why did the vampire have to pick this area of Widersia to cause trouble? Here I was thinking the nearest forests were miles away considering what Iberis and the others told me, now I hate this place even more.</span></i> The revelation that Shion could've avoided so much of her discomfort if the vampire just decided she wanted to cause trouble in a different part of the same country seriously irked her for two reasons. One was that she could be there instead of here, and two was because it actually made her agree with Kelsey that she'd much rather spend her time and energy there. After a few moments however, Shion managed to calm down internally. She sighed outwardly, seeming unaware she had done so.<br>
<br>
<i><span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)">There's no good letting such juvenile emotions overtake me. I know full well the world doesn't revolve around my desires. Still...to think I must suffer a place like this when something infinitely more preferable is so close...rather cruel for me to be dropped here.</span></i> Shion shook her head in her own thoughts. <i><span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)">Then again, it hasn't been all bad...</span></i>her thoughts became more positive as she looked to most of the people she'd met since arriving here. <i><span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)">I wouldn't have met all of these people first...who knows if my reception would've been necessarily better elsewhere.</span></i><br>
<br>
<span style="color: null">Shion returned to the conversation at hand as she finally started registering some key information as her head turned towards the broom closet Morana had pointed out. All of her thoughts ceased momentarily as she struggled to find a viable reason he'd be in there. She tried to start a statement a couple times, her mouth opening each time, so it was clear to anyone looking at her she was attempting to find reason where there truly may have been none, eventually she just chuckled. </span><span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"That is...at least he's okay."</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: null">That was the best her mind had managed in her mild stupor. She then turned her attention to Theron inquiring about Iberis' condition.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"There was a small mishap before we came here and it left Iberis a bit lightheaded. She'll be fine once she gets a good meal and sound sleep."</span><span style="color: null"> Shion said with a smile to Theron. It was an easy enough explanation that didn't require any details those that didn't need to know didn't need and without any lies necessary.<br>
<br>
Then the bartender came over and explained the bedding situation to the group. Shion looked around the room to those that weren't spoken for, folding her arms and closing her eyes. She thought through everything carefully, thinking of what would potentially be a sound proposition for everyone that would cause the least trouble. After a few moments of thought, Shion's head raised while opening her eyes. Kelsey offering a secluded location for her and Sophia helped solidify her idea.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"I have a proposal then." </span><span style="color: null">She tried to get everyone's attention. </span><span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Hopefully this arrangement will work best for everyone. It'd probably be best for Iberis to take one of the suites, she could do with the nicer bed. I'd like to accompany her too, as I stated back at the safehouse I'd like to see what I can find within the depths of her mind tonight, that way we won't have to worry about it tomorrow and I can focus on Sverre. I can explain more tomorrow, Morana, I'll need your assistance from the sounds of it." </span><span style="color: null">Shion looked at the steampunk cyborg for a moment before looking to Chandra with a gesture to her, Sophia, and the witch.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Chandra, I think you, Scylla, and Sophia should take the other suite. If I remember right, I overheard Sophia saying she wanted to talk to both of you at some point, and surely someone here can lend one of you a mat. Once Sophia's done working with Kelsey, she'd have a nice, comfy bed to help rest off the extra work she's putting in tonight too from the sounds of it. In more ways than one. If she doesn't feel like talking tonight, she'd have the morning to sort out whatever she needed with you two."</span><span style="color: null"> Shion didn't say it aloud, but she glanced Morana's way again hoping she'd realize Scylla being in the suite meant the witch would have minimal chance bugging her for the near future. Luckily they already avoided one incident with Scylla avoiding the worst hug she'd ever gotten.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"That would leave the bunks to Cayde, Morana, and Kelsey once she'd finished with Sophia. Sverre...does he even need sleep?" </span><span style="color: null">Shion genuinely didn't understand how his kind worked, but if he did, that might cause issues in her suggestion.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"That's the best I can think up without causing too much headache." </span><span style="color: null">Her posture relaxed as she shrugged her shoulders. The only thing she was going to push for was her and Iberis getting one of the suites, Iberis needed one of the nicer beds more than anyone else here. If she had her kitsune form she wouldn't even need a bed, but as things currently were she did, and she had no issues sharing with Iberis, so it made logical sense to her too why she'd just be in there with her since she also wanted to peer into her mind. It also sounded like Sophia would have no objections to sharing a room with Chandra based on current evidence, and Scylla seemed quite close to them too. </span></div>

 </b>​</div><br>
Upon learning that Sverre was there, Cayde's attention was drawn to the broom closet. A few puzzled thoughts ran inside his head. It was already strange that he hadn't even come to greet Scylla. So what was Sverre doing in there? <b><i>"<span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">Weird..."</span> </i></b>He thought, glancing at Shion for her reaction. Her face looked perplexed. She didn't have an answer for this either. Cayde shrugged, his eyes still trained on the door. Maybe Sverre really w<i>as</i> sleeping. Or perhaps he'd just wanted some alone time. It'd been a long day - he'd been through so much. He deserved just a bit of solitude.<b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"I guess that's fine. He's safer in there, too,"</span> </b>He relaxed, moving his gaze back to Theron, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"I'll check up on him later. Just to be safe, y'know?"</span></b><br>
<br>
 Cayde found the news about the vampire hunters a bit more comforting. Their small numbers were a good sign. Finding the overarching problem would be slightly easier. But he noticed Theron hadn't taken too well revealing that. Must've hit a soft spot on that one. Nothing a little honesty couldn't solve. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Oh, sorry, I wasn't thinking that at all,"</span> </b>Cayde said, quickly bowing his head, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"It's just many of my endeavors have been with small groups of friends. Never really worked with any kind of official faction before. I don't really know what to expect, to be honest,"</span> </b>He nodded, straightening his posture, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"But <i>everyone's </i>a teacher, yeah? I'm sure I'll get to learn something from you. Maybe like how to take a headbutt so darn well." </span></b><br>
<br>
As that came to a close, Cayde watched as Methystos approached, listing off the sleeping arraignments. His ears perked up. It'd been so long since he'd slept in a <i>real</i> bed. There was nothing but tree branches and bedrolls out in the wilderness. A nice, soft mattress sounded <i>wonderful</i>. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Sounds perfect to me,"</span> </b>He raised his hand as Shion finished her proposal, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"I'll take the bunk above Theron,"</span> </b>Then, he pointed to the bedroll hanging off his pack, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"One of you can borrow my bedroll if you'd like. Just washed it with lavender the other day. Just let me know whatever makes you feel most comfortable," </span></b><br>
<br>
That only left four people. Cayde looked at Kelsey next. Scratch that, he thought. Kelsey would find somewhere to sleep. It didn't seem hard for her to do so. Then, he turned to Iberis and Scylla. She'd have a place to sleep, but that accident earlier was a <i>bit</i> concerning. And with Iberis, she'd need rest more than anyone. He could help with both. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Ah, and Scylla, if your head's still hurting after <i>that</i>, I could craft something for you,"</span> </b>He nodded to Iberis, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Same goes for you, Iberis. Just reach out if you've got any trouble sleeping, alright?" </span></b><br>
<br>
Finally, he looked to Morana. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Oh, and Morana, where would you prefer?"</span> </b>A simple question to give her opinion, he hoped.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Moranas comment had made the witch blink a bit, then squinted at her suspiciously, twirling a finger. “Are you calling me dumb?” She asked, before pointing at her chest. “Hey what’s that?” [Persuasion F] then would boop her on the forehead. “Oops!” She snickered, before winking and blowing her a kiss.<br>
<br>
The witch would have attempted to get away if it wasn’t for the fact that Kalina was downright forward now, and mind you, a bit daring too! She stood there, a looking at the pale vampire a bit blankly as she puckered her lips and planted a kiss on her cheek. Her lips felt cold, however, perhaps it was that she was a half demon. Likely giving the vampire a few points in the fact that she was undead. Scylla whimpered, “oh.. n-now you’ve done it!” She said as she fluttered her eyelashes and danced a bit like a ballerina, spinning in place before falling to her knees and putting her hands over her heart. “Thou hath nearly captivated this witches heart. I beg you don’t imprison me with love!”<br>
<br>
Then suddenly the pang on her forehead returned.<br>
<br>
Scylla would rub her head a bit, then gasped when the dwarf drew his weapon. “N-now now.. it was an accident! Please understand I’m an academic! My feet totally ache in these slippers. Don’t make me show you my fee-“ then the dwarf explained himself a bit, much to Scyllas relief. “I.. well, you flatter me.” She giggled, “I must be quite intimidating if you believe pretty little me could be a monster!” She showed him her teeth by faking a fierce look. “How about now? Grrr!!”<br>
<br>
She’d hear Shion, turning over to her and then towards Sophia. She generally ignored the owner, only picking up on the bed situation and the fact that they were actually sleeping!<br>
<br>
The witch would look over to Cayde who offered a bed roll. “Heavens- err.. I mean.. hells no! Are you kidding?! I haven’t slept on a comfy cozy yummy bed in.. well.. I think about three months now.” She pondered. “Jeez.. my professor is probably worried sick about me. He just sent me out to pick up a flower! Hum.. there’s probably a big old stack of assignments waiting for me when I get back.” She frowned, her anxiety clearly mounting but she’d soon sweep those thoughts under the rug. “Oh well! We’ll just say I logged in my field work hours for the entire year!” She giggled. <br>
<br>
She quickly took Sophia by the claw, “Shion is totally right! We have a lot to catch up on!” She giggled, “Maybe we can get under the sheets and tell spooky stories too!” Looking over at Kalina, “What do you say miss Chandra? We might have to all squeeze into one bed though?” She asked, naively.</div>

Hearing Kalina's confliction certainly didn't feel the best, since she wanted her to feel okay, but hearing her say it'd be a privilege to carry her was certainly interesting it seemed like a compliment at least, and presuming Kalina accepted she was transferred over to her for the rest of the carrying.<br>
<br>
She nodded at Shion when she heard her offer to lend an ear, causing her to smile a bit, <span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"Thanks."</span> She couldn't help but feel safe around Shion as time had gone on with her intentions seeming good. And she had also said some insightful things to Kalina to top it all off.<br>
<br>
She smiled a bit at what Kelsey had to say as well regarding the tour comment.<br>
---<br>
With Morana she gave a nod, glad that she seemed to be satisfied with their reply at least outwardly, it wasn't always very easy to tell with her. "Yeah I guess you could say that.." She'd then giggle a bit at what Theron had to say with the ale comment.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"Thanks for not...shanking my friend there, I can tell you definitely have experience." </span>She followed up with, figuring a compliment wouldn't hurt with how fast he reacted.<br>
<br>
She then looked to Methystos who appeared, <span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"No problem, nice to meet you too, I'm Iberis." </span>She then listened to him detailing the room situation. Thankfully it seemed the others were opinionated on the subject. <br>
<br>
Shion was the first to share their opinion so Iberis listened to her next, turning to look at her. Spending a night in the Suite with Shion? That didn't sound bad by any means.  Usually Iberis wouldn't go out of her way to impose her desire for a bed over anyone else but she was rather frail at the moment.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"If it's okay with everyone else, I'm okay taking the room with Shion."</span> She decided to roll with it. Shion's reasoning was solid enough for her between it probably being better for her to have it<br>
<br>
Even after saying that though she did give a smile toward Cayde at him offering the bedroll to anyone who may have needed or wanted one. She did giggle some at Scylla's response once again at the bed offer, just as she found herself finding Scylla's monster interpretation to be incredibly adorable. It did however make her think about course work, but frankly she'd been through so much it hadn't been on her mind in quite some time, this was a much more important.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"Yeah..there's probably some academy stuff I should get to when this is all said and done.." </span>Which wasn't an issue for Iberis as she really did adore the stuff, like a sponge taking up whatever the'd offer her.<br>
<br>
She gave a nod with another smile to Cayde. <span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)"> "I appreciate the offer, I'll make sure to let you know if I think I need it." </span><br>
<br>
Iberis looked over at Scylla not quite expecting her to suggest that those three were in the same bed together, everything she said was quite innocent in actuality but given the suggestive tone that kept cropping up occasionally it was somewhat hard to read it that way.  As Iberis had been talking through, her sentences were a bit more mellow, reflecting her being more tired than usual.</div>

Truthfully, having carried Iberis was probably better for Kalina herself than it'd been for Iberis. Upon seeing the witch was still able to relax near her... as in, 'in her arms' kind of near her, she was able to push out some of the many doubts she had towards herself. After all, it meant Iberis was currently not seeing her as a blood-hungry monster, at the very least. Together with Shion offering some comforting words, it slowly steered her out of her downwards spiral of self-doubt, even though she still didn't have an answer to her questions. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“I might take you up on that, sometimes soon.”</b></span> Was all she'd have replied to Shion.<br>
<br>
However, upon carefully putting Iberis down in the Rusted Booze she'd whisper <span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="color: #800000"><b>“Thank you.”</b></span></span> to Iberis. Perhaps a bit weird, but she was genuinely feeling better now, so it was the natural thing to do. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Carrying you is almost as nice as cuddling you, so let me know if you ever need another lift~ Unlike our Keeper of the Sacred Fluff suggests, doing so is a reward enough on its own.”</b></span> She couldn't help counter Shion's earlier blood payment joke with a <s>sort-off but also sort off not</s> joke of her own.<br>

Shion's words made Theron turn his head towards her. <span style="color: #A0522D"><b>“A small mishap. Fair enough.”</b></span> He spoke, although he squinted his eyes a bit. The normal type of reply would be 'just not feeling so well' or 'just tired' or something. Small mishap suggested something actively happened, which was a bit peculiar. Especially considering the circumstances and the type of folk this girl was with (Kelsey, Morana, Sverre). For now, he'd just keep it in mind. <br>
<br>
He let out a small laugh at Cayde's apologies. <span style="color: #A0522D"><b>“An official faction? That's a bit of a big word for us. Technically, you could say we're part of some branches of the Adventurer's Guild throughout the continent. They occasionally have quests to slay vampires and we simply specialise in taking those.”</b></span> That was the long and short of it. <span style="color: #A0522D"><b>“Dwarves take headbutts well by nature, we've got a thick skull.”</b></span> He said with a heartier laugh at Cayde's remark. <br>
<br>
That's when he turned back to Scylla. <span style="color: #A0522D"><b>“You would be surprised how cute some monsters can look, right before they tear someone's heart out and consume it raw.”</b></span> He replied, sounding serious for a bit as his thoughts seem to wander rather than to pick up on the joke. <span style="color: #A0522D"><b>“Regardless, it's too late to keep joking around.”</b></span> He eventually replied.<br>

Kalina honestly hadn't any thoughts to spare on the resting situation. In the end, she'd technically not even need to rest other than to get her mind to calm down a bit and to not be suspicious. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“That sounds good to me.”</b></span> She replied to the surprisingly detailed group-up plan. Although she did want to whisper one thing into Shion's ear. <span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="color: #800000"><b>“She's been through a lot of trauma as well, so even though she held up well today... please be there for her if it catches up to her during the night, okay?”</b></span></span> She was genuinely concerned about it, having wondered how Iberis was holding up so well to begin with after having gone through many of the same traumatic events with Renee and the undead. Perhaps Iberis was just stronger than her. Either way, she figured it'd be best to inform Shion.<br>
<br>
Scylla's remarks, however, caught her by surprise. She'd known it'd get some reaction, but this one? This type of reaction she hadn't expected. It was... fun... though. Yes. She somehow found herself enjoying it. Oddly enough, Scylla's temperature was higher than she thought it'd be. Then again, that was a problem for later. She'd lean in to whisper into Scylla's ear. <span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="color: #800000"><b>“I'm not one to imprison those I love, but captivating your heart sounds like a lovely endeavour~”</b></span></span> Truthfully, when it came to non-blood related issues, she was as naïve and innocent as any of them. When it came to fitting in one bed, her first thought was a practical concern. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“I am pretty tall though... but we can try!”</b></span> In a worst case, she could just... stare out the window all night? Finally use her own bedroll? She mostly kept it to keep up the adventurer's guise. Anyhow, it'd work out.<br>
<br>
Theron replied to Iberis next. <span style="color: #A0522D"><b>“Experience is the reward for the survivor, is what my teacher always said. I ended up suriviving more than most, is all.”</b></span> He replied to Iberis, his eyes squinting a bit. <span style="color: #A0522D"><b>“Oddly enough, I have a feeling you've got a fair bit of your own experience as well. Call it an old Dwarf's instinct.”</b></span><br>

If Morana's eyes could show surprise at Shion's remark, they like would've. Right now, all she did was tilt her head a little. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“Focus on Sverre with me..? Do you want to see if we can get system access through Analog? I already failed that... unless...”</b></span>  It clicked. She wanted to try using that mind magic she mentioned wanting to use on Iberis as well. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“Understood.”</b></span> She replied, once things fell into place. She turned to Cayde as well when speaking up next. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“He's a pure construct, so he wouldn't need sleep. He'd just need moments to go on standby to fully process things. With how jumbled his mind is, it might take a longer time than normal. We'll have to see tomorrow. Until then, I'd say we leave him in there.”</b></span><br>
<br>
Scylla's attempt to trick Morana failed, not necessarily due to lack of persuasiveness, but simply due to Morana being angered enough to not want to break her cold dead stare into Scylla's eyes from the moment she was adressed. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“I was trying to compliment your ability to learn, but it seems like I spoke too soon.”</b></span> <br>
<br>
She was a bit surprised when she was suddenly asked where she would prefer. Her eyes glossed over towards Shion for the slightest moment, but those with good perception (higher than F) or some insight (F or higher) would notice that much. Shion had been one of the few people who'd somewhat made her feel at ease. After that short moment, however, she looked at Cayde and stated as cold as in her usual tone. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“Whichever you command sir. I'd only ask not to be bunked with her.”</b></span> She nodded at Kelsey.<br>

Kelsey just laughed at Morana's remark to not  be bunked with her. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“Oh, come on Morry... are you afraid I'd crawl into your bed at night? You should be! Not a single of the beds in that room will be safe from me!”</b></span> Kelsey replied, clearly teasing the half-construct. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“Although perhaps I should give mister alchemist a nightly visit instead?”</b></span> She glossed over at Cayde to try measure his reaction. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“So many beds to sneak into once I've got my arm fixed~”</b></span> She left it with that ominous threat.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“Just know that I can guarantee you won't survive such an attempt.”</b></span> Morana stated, her emotionless voice making that threat even more threatening, as she likely meant it in full.<br>
<br>
Kelsey would soon lead Sophia to a place close to the Rusted Booze.<br>

<span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“Here we are.”</b></span> Kelsey said, using an oddly shaped key to enter after which the place also lit up. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“It's a 24/7 workshop used by constructs and by those with artificial limbs, you can get a membership key for a monthly fee... come to think of it, mine might run out, so we might be just in time.”</b></span> She took out a broken looking mithril hand. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“I don't have money for materials, and people always leave this place cluttered with all sorts of stuff, but the material from this old spare hand and whatever we find here should work, right? There's a few materials here that are cheap enough to be free to use with using the place as well, even some left by former users, should you need a bit extra...”</b></span> All in all, it'd be a lot closer to a 'modern factory' type of smithing than the pure medieval work, but also a lot more messy and with sparser materials. This wad almost closer to [Tinkering] in some ways, but it would still be doable for Sophia to get the hand up and running with these tools and materials.<br>
<br>
With that introduced, however, it was time to be a bit less serious again. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“Although about what you said before... We can always stick around and play a bit after work, no..?”</b></span> she teased. With or without additional 'playtime', they'd eventually be able to make it back into the Rusted Booze (around 3:00 in the night, feel free to post arrival when everyone's asleep at the end of reacting to the current scene).<br>

Cayde, entering the room having 3 bunk-beds, would instantly spot something odd. The beds used by the vampire hunters had some sort off barrier around them, closing them off from the entire room. <span style="color: #A0522D"><b>“It's a warding device from the Magic Duchy, best you don't touch it. Only its owner can get through without trouble. It's the only way to live long in our business.”</b></span> Theron quickly explained, before heading through and vanishing from sight. Cayde would be able to climb up the bunk without touching it thanks to a ladder beside it, but he would have to be a bit careful not to dangle his arms or feet.<br>
<br>
Morana however, had something to say. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“Sir, is there any chance you'd let me take that one, the one above Theron? Or perhaps for you take a bunk above or below me? I'd really rather not deal with Kelsey during the night.”</b></span> She said, spotting the ideal opportunity to be safe from the halfling during the night, as she could chuck her into Theron's barrier or onto Cayde should she try something. <br>
<br>
Shion and Iberis would find their room ready... for other types of visitors. Rose pedals, nicely smelling incense, fresh bedsheets, a bottle of champaign and a few items normally used by adults in a specific type of nightly encounters were placed in the room. Still, the bed was huge and extremely soft. It also had multiple really fluffy pillows lined up. So... count your blessings? <br>
<br>
Kalina and Scylla (and later Sophia) would find themselves entering a room in a similar disposition as the one that Shion and Iberis were in. Although Kalina just looked at the items with a questioningly look, unsure what they were. Or why this room smelled odd. Or why there were rose pedals. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“This room is... odd.”</b></span> She'd speak to Scylla, letting her 'Chandra' accent fade. <span style="color: #800000"><b> “What even is up with all these things here, rose pedals, weird things... a weird scent? Why is there some sort of wine in the room itself..?”</b></span> She was confused. Very confused.</div>

Chandra approached Shion and whispered to her about Iberis, to which Shion simply patted Chandra's back and gave an affirming nod to her so there wouldn't be too much attention drawn from it. She listened to the rest of the conversations around her before proceeding to assist Iberis in getting to their suite for the night when she noticed Iberis' low energy.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"I best get Iberis to our room, I'll see everyone tomorrow morning." </span>Shion gave everyone a smile before they departed.<br>
<br>
Once they stepped into the suite, Shion was taken aback for a moment. Seemed the tavern keeper hadn't taken any measures to prep the rooms for their type of company. She couldn't help but laugh as she walked into the room with Iberis.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Well, it's a shame we aren't here on honeymoon it looks like." </span>She said still chuckling as she observed the room. She raised a brow at the objects on one of the tables and had a couple memories flash through her mind.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"He doesn't shirk the more intimate side of things." </span>She commented before looking at Iberis.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"I'm going to make myself more comfortable." </span>She stated before her eyes began to glow as she clasped her hands together. Iberis would see the clothes on Shion's form begin to look slightly ethereal for a moment before Shion threw her hands out, and the threads on her body proceeded to dissipate into strands of mana, leaving Shion's body as bare as it had been when she showed up!<br>

<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Ah, so much better! Finally free from mankind's constraints!" </span>She said so whimsically as she spun around with a smile on her face and a soft laugh. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Until I regain my kitsune form, I'll have to take every opportunity I can to enjoy this."</span><br>
<br>
She sighed happily, the most content she'd looked since she got here spread across her face as she looked at Iberis. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"How are you feeling, Iberis? Actually, let me try something."</span><br>
<br>
Shion approached the mage as her eyes began to glow once again. She stirred her mana forth, trying to bend it to her will. She placed a hand on Iberis' shoulder before finally feeling her magic attune to her desires as a wave of <b>[Healing F] </b>magic would enter Iberis' body to help cleanse some of the fatigue inflicted upon her. In fact the moment they were alone everything about Shion's demeanor had become much more positive. Her motions seemed lighter, her mind slightly more at ease. She just seemed to be a bit more free, physically and mentally, now that she was able to put the setting which she found herself away for the night.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Any better?" </span>Shion asked with a tilt of her head and twitch of her ears as her tail danced about behind her.</div>

After hearing Scylla's response, Cayde chuckled to himself. It was an easy choice in hindsight. Sure, bedrolls were great, but a floor was still a floor, just like how a rock was still a rock. Not very comfy - it doesn't matter what goes on it. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Yup, actually, I would pick the bed too, now that I think about it..."</span> </b>He shrugged, his voice growing playful, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Suit yourselves! Just don't let me hear you all fighting over the covers tonight." </span></b><br>
<br>
When Morana started explaining the situation with Sverre, Cayde nodded along understandingly. Most of the construct-related subjects still didn't make much sense, but this sounded familiar. He'd need time alone to process things, too. Sverre was doing the same in his mechanical way—a good enough understanding. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Yeah, I suppose that's for the best,"</span> </b>Cayde replied plainly, glancing at the broom closet. He'd looked back to see Morana looking a Shion for just a second. Then, back to her usual self. Was that a tell? <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Oh, did you want to go with her? I could-"</span> </b>He stopped, hearing Kelsey speak of crawling into beds. The concept sounded just as alien as the construct talk before. Bunk beds were usually meant for one person. What was the point of sneaking into another's?<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"I mean, you could try,"</span> </b>He scratched his chin at this predicament, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"But I move a lot in my sleep, y'know? And I doubt there'd be any space for both of us..."</span> </b>Cayde looked at his bedroll. Maybe that was the solution? If the beds were making Kelsey restless, she could sleep in there! <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"But, there's always the bed roll!"</span> </b>He proclaimed proudly, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"I'm sure we could work something out!" </span></b>Then, with a slight yawn, he addressed the party, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Alright, I think everything's settled. Good night everyone."</b></span><br>
<br>
Not long after, Cayde followed Theron to the bunkroom. His eyes immediately widened as the dwarf disappeared within the barriers shielding the beds. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Uh, noted," </b></span>He said, studying the device at a distance. The threat of touching that thing wouldn't make sleeping any easier. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"I'll try not to move too much..." </b></span>He mumbled, removing his mask and sliding his pack off his back. Before he could make the climb, he heard Morana ask for something behind him. Both options didn't sound too unreasonable, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Sure, I'll take the bunk under you if you want," </b></span>He said nonchalantly, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Whatever makes you feel comfortable," </span></b></div>

Iberis smiled back at Chandra's words warmly, giving her a nod. <span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"I'll..keep that in mind." </span>Kalina really did make her feel appreciated sometimes, which Iberis was quite fond of. While Kalina might have been thinking Iberis was stronger, she hadn't been seeing the night terrors that Iberis had been suffering from, nor the slew of nightmares or memories from Auldlich which woke her up in a cold sweat, or the fact that sometimes she'd stay up for most of the night because she couldn't get the image of  something terrible out of her head. These are the sorts of issues which had been plaguing Iberis among others  ever since that dreadful night.<br>
<br>
Iberis nodded when Theron spoke to her. <span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"Your instinct would be right on then, I've been in some dicey adventures to put it lightly and, sort of had to figure a lot of stuff out growing up too..but  that explains it then you were taught well, I'm really glad to have met someone doing such a good but dangerous work for the benefit of so  many people." </span><br>
<br>
She still couldn't help but find the bunk talk back and forth humorous, though she did wish that Scylla and Morana could get along better, as it seemed that Morana wasn't the most impressed by her still. Then there was Kelsey who it seemed was still trying to make moves on people which was sort of impressive in it's own right with just how brazen she was in not particularly caring how she was received, if someone said yes to her great, if not then she was moving on to the next opportunity or person as if nothing happened. Iberis wished that she had a bit more of that confidence at times.<br>
<br>
When Shion was ready to go she was too, taking her staff and following her. <span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"Night everyone." </span>She added after what Shion said. On the way there since there wasn't any obvious way Iberis was going to get proper sustenance with how late things she took a modest sized pouch  out from her sash containing some cured meat pieces and  hardtack rations, and she nommed on a few pieces along the way as a snack, just to help balance her energy out more wanting to help prevent a sugar crash from primarily just having that strange jelly and water,  before putting them away before they'd reach the room. <br>
---<br>
Iberis quickly took note of all that was in the room and her pale face turned a bit pink at the cheeks when she saw some of the objects there, just displayed like that. "You..would have thought they'd at least hide stuff like that somewhere more discrete.." She replied softly.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"Yeah..it's a pretty romantic room with all the other stuff huh?"</span> She'd smell the floral scent very prominently which was pleasant. She looked over at the wine wondering if it costed extra to drink. <span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"Can't say I've stayed too many places as nice as this."</span><br>
<br>
When Shion said that Iberis did look over curiously before she saw Shion's clothing dematerialize by magic which was a bit surprising as she hadn't quite caught that detail when Shion had first landed, before she saw Shion's bare form before her, Iberis's eyes did wander briefly before the flushed look only returned at first, as Iberis felt like she should be looking away, which she eventually did, before she began to calm down a bit..it really shouldn't be that big of a deal, they were both women there and for some reason it seemed like in the back of her mind it was natural, like the vague memory of her not uncommon communal showering and bathing back in her past life being in Japan, this wasn't too different.. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"Constraint huh? I guess I never thought about them that way, but if you aren't used to them then, I could see it that way." </span> Seeing Shion happy did prompt her to smile however back at her. Iberis set her staff aside leaning against the nightstand as she frequently did when she slept in the academy dorms.<br>
<br>
Iberis sat on the edge of the bed by that point, <br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"As far as I can tell the actual effects of being drained don't seem to be as bad as It was before after having a bit more to eat and drink."</span> Even so she wasn't 100%. She looked over curiously as Shion's eyes glowed and she she said she was going to try something. Presumably even the low level healing would narratively make her feel somewhat better even if it wasn't too long lasting, part of her fatigue was from the high stress long day too in tandem with being drained , but she did perk up a bit more, looking more like herself, as time had gone on.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"I didn't know you could do that Shion..that feels pretty nice..you've been really kind to me ever since you arrived here..and I really appreciate it. From carrying me, giving me that vision to help my nerves,..staying with me when were fighting those things earlier, and now this..thank you. I hope that you'll be around long enough that I'll get to return some of those favors."</span> She finally let out wanting to clearly express her gratitude with a genuine warmth to her voice.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"I can't imagine it's easy being away from your world like this and being throw into the unknown, but I just  know that you met up with our group for some reason whether It's beyond my understanding or not, I'm..really glad that I've had a chance to work with you."</span><br>
<br>
Iberis then started to slip her still somewhat patchwork robe off, as well as taking her horned hat off and scarf, as well as slipping her boots and socks off, leaving her simple dress under on for the time being.<br>
<br>
"<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">With all of that said, I'd really love to know more about you, if there's anything you'd like to share, we haven't had a ton of opportunity to just talk about normal things with all this serious dangerous stuff going on." </span>While she said this Iberis leaned back a bit more on the bed, before also desashing herself and putting it with her other clothing neatly in a compact space near her staff.</div>

Scylla looked visibly hurt, "Ouch! Morana! I'm TRYING!! I.. i can only change so much, you know?!" She rolled her eyes. "Whatever. You just hate me, because i'm prettier!" She stuck her tongue out at the construct before doing the little spin, and getting kissed by Kalinas cold lips. <br>
<br>
"Oh? You don't say?" Scylla gasped a bit at the vampires oddly loving words. "Truly, you don't mean that right? I mean, i'm a bit of a mess up here." She said twirling her finger pointing at her head. She giggled and shook her head a bit incredulously. Surely, Kalina was up to some trickstery stuff again. The witch would get up, quickly fixing her hat as the vampire before her spoke about her stature. "Oh? Yeah, i suppose you might be right." She giggled again, "I'm totally going to cackle like a witch when your feet hang at the bottom of the bed, oh! And lets not forget the blanket being too short too!" <br>
<br>
It was then that Scylla would let go of Sophia, she frowned a bit. "But why-" She bit her tongue again, rolling her eyes at herself. <i>Think before you speak, Scylla. Think. Think. Think. </i>She wanted to persuade the fae to not go with the pervy one. But. She didn't want to make any more potential drama. However, it wouldn't stop her from making subtle, albeit not very noticeable gestures. Like stomping her foot softly and crossing her arms with a pout. "Fine." She muttered under her breath. Pulling Kalina by the hand, she started off. "Come on, K! I'm getting moody and my feet hurt!" <br>
<br>
Once in the room she squealed, "EEEEKKKK!!! I FINALLY GET TO SLEEP ON A BED!" She exclaimed as she quickly took off her shoes, shut the door behind her and jumped on the bed. "So bouncy! Oh, oh, oh!" She put her staff and hat with the book by the door and quickly made her way to the various items. "What do we have here!" She said happily, pulling a bottle out of an iced container. "I think its alcohol." She looked around, not that there was anyone there, perhaps it was just instinct. "Have you ever had alcohol? It makes you feel fuzzy and makes you say the truth!" She laughed. "Not that i have any secrets or anything.. but.. YOU totally do!" She pointed at Kalina. "K! Here take a glass!" The witch would open the bottle, and poured a glass and another for herself. "My, my, my.." It was here that she noticed rose petals everywhere. "..huh.. it seems this place was previously reserved or.. reserved already for romantic stuff!" She took a sip of the bubbly liquid. "Pfft! Look at this place!" She looked around, her surroundings kind of coming into focus. "Yeah this is TOTALLY a romancy place!" She looked around more, with a bit of a dance like sway in her step. There was a hole in her sock at the heel. She suddenly stopped and dropped the glass. Shattering in the bathroom. "K! Come here!" She pointed at the adult stuff in the bathroom. "This is TOTALLY a place where people DO IT! They actually DO IT in here!" <br>
<br>
"Oh no, no no no.. we need to take the sheets out and get them cleaned!" Before she began taking the bed apart however, she paused, "Well.." She sniffed the bed a bit, "..they don't smell." Scylla would then turn around, facing the bathroom. "Why would they just leave that.. that.. well.. stuff in here? Is that what people just do in this place all the time? Like.. always?!" She tilted her head a bit, her mind going from disbelief to curiosity. "Hm. Yeah. Weird. Anyway! Let's see if we fit on the bed!" She happily, took off her robe but left her white tank top on and her stockings. Letting out a big sigh she felt her whole body sore!</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><div style="text-align: center"><a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/zzzshion2-1-png.1092256/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1029/1029386-2cc3570a71a11b65628b06cce448c300.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="zzzShion2-1.png" title="zzzShion2-1.png" width="100" height="116" loading="lazy"></a><br>​</div><span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"I didn't wear clothes for the first thirty years of my life. The first twenty I didn't even have a humanoid form, and the next ten I didn't bother with clothes until I realized it just invited even more disgusting human behaviors if I spoke to them like this. So I started covering the parts of me that sparked those reactions, and while I've grown accustom to wearing as little as I need to keep humans civil, I'm still far more comfortable with nothing." </span>Shion replied to Iberis, placing a hand on her hip as she looked down at the girl sitting at the edge of the bed.<br>
<br>
Knowing her magic helped at least a little made Shion's smile even brighter, and her tail wagged back and forth a bit hearing Iberis' words of thanks. She shook her head when Iberis was done. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Iberis, truth be told, I am not sure where I would even go. You've told me of these beautiful forests that I could visit, but frankly, I am not as strong as I was in my own world. My body is slowly growing accustom to the weave of this world's mana, but it is a slow process. I do not have any desire to lose my life so quickly either, traveling with others would be preferred until I gain more of my strength back. Not only that..."</span> Shion stopped, her ears drooping a moment as she contemplated continuing with what she was about to say. She looked away from Iberis for a moment in contemplation, before sighing. She'd held off long enough.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"...Not only that, after I fell in love with Olivia, I stopped wanting to travel alone as much. I used to travel alone exclusively given my relationship with humans being so vile for so many years, but my mood softened to humans over time as I met more and more with good intentions and kind hearts. Olivia entering my life was also another point on that journey. Being without her now, I..."</span> Shion folded her arms under her chest as her wagging slowed. She shook her head again as her smile returned a little. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"I'm sorry, Iberis, putting it that way makes it sound like I am trying to use you to replace her. I have no desire to make you feel that way. The simple truth of it all is that, since I've arrived in this world, you and your friends have given me hope that there are humans worth befriending in this world. Not only that, you saw some of my darker memories so vividly when I linked with your mind accidentally and...you offered me your sympathy."</span> Shion's voice got a little shaky as she fought off tearing up.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"And you've repaid me plenty...if your group had been any less accommodating I shudder to think if I would've been able to keep my prejudices in check long enough to help. Not knowing the layout of this city, and nearly all my magic lost to me...there's a real chance I would've been killed, enslaved, or become a victim of the very vampire you were hired to deal with should I have let my hate fuel my actions and flee from untrustworthy humans."</span> Shion shook her head, managing to stave off her tears.<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)"> "But thankfully, that side of me didn't win...I have you, Chandra, and Cayde to thank for that most, but all of you have given me reason to stick around...even if I worry about your friend Scylla more than I'd like. I'm afraid she will continue to provoke lectures from me...and if she touches my tail again without asking I'm not sure if I can hold back a second time."</span> She tried to add some brevity to her words, a light chuckle escaping her lips at the end of it. Iberis tried to sympathize about Shion not being in her world anymore, and it only made Shion's smile and tail wagging brighten up again.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"I do not miss it as much as you might think. My world was on the brink of collapse, I was working with heroes, mercenaries, and villains alike to try and save...everything. I died in the penultimate battle alongside Olivia, and I do not know if my comrades succeeded. However, with Olivia and the spirits I once called my friends all gone...I do not know, being here or there means I've lost everything..."</span> Shion's mood depressed again for a moment before she sighed.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Your demeanor makes it so easy for me to drop my guard around you, and I reward you with such depressing answers." </span>She lightly scoffed at herself with a sigh as she walked over and sat beside Iberis on the bed as she spoke to her with genuine curiosity about her.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"If it's not clear by now, I'm a fairly open book around you, Iberis Ohdir."</span> She laughed a little, ending in a smile that showed teeth.<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)"> "I'm willing to talk about whatever you like, so long as you can tolerate my rambling. Here's hoping I don't lead every question down the dark and dreary alleys I've lead you down so far. This room is hardly cut out for it."</span> She said, laughing again. Shion really had dropped many of her barriers around Iberis, she found the mage very easy to talk to and she felt like the mage understood her.<br>
<br>
It made her happy to have found someone she could so openly talk to already in this world, living life with hatred and suspicion in her heart...that isn't what she wanted to do. She vowed to pass on with good memories in her heart so she wouldn't die full of bitter hatred, and she never forgot how good it felt to just be open, honest, and make friends. Olivia had strengthened that desire within her even further, and she would do everything she could to not let the darkness within her win.</div>

<span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“That'll be alright.”</b></span> She was quick to reply to Cayde's suggestion to go with Shion instead. Sure, it might be one of the few folk putting her at ease, but seeing how the latter had been dealing with Iberis, she figured theirs was a room for two and two alone. Not something she'd want to interfere with for sure. As per usual, she opted to ignore Scylla. It'd be better for her mental health. <br>
<br>
After they'd enter the rooms, she'd nod. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“Alright. You'll be my first guard against Kelsey, so please don't let me down, sir.”</b></span> She added, her voice as oddly monotone as always and not revealing if that was a plea, a threat or a request. Rather than climbing the ladder, which her artificial limbs would make difficult, she just jumped on top of it. The bed creaked and groaned like it'd crash and crumble under her weight (those metal parts were heavy), but it somehow held up. <br>

<span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“I could try, you say..? Oho~ Now you'll know I will~”</b></span> She replied to Cayde, surprised about this sudden invitation. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“Bedroll...”</b></span> She was caught off guard when that was brought up all of a sudden, this dude really did love his bedroll, so she ended up deciding it was best to just head off with Sophia for now, before he could say more 'weird' things <s>like she was the one to comment about 'weird' things</s>. <br>

Kalina waited with replying to Scylla when they were in the room, not wanting things to drag out too much. However, after entering the room, she'd speak up again... but not before letting her Alternate Identity fade.<br>

She stretched. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Hmm... It's good to be myself again.”</b></span> She spoke, taking off her armour and putting it to a side of the room. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Of course I meant what  I said, you're great to have around, you're fun, optimistic, cheerful, friendly, sweet, positive, energetic, trustworthy, kind...”</b></span> She listed some of the best things about Scylla. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Besides, do you really think I'd dare to judge someone's metal issues after you've all seen my own state? I'd say we could simply try to keep each-other's heads straight then, right?”</b></span><br>
<br>
She chuckled at Scylla's comments on her height, blankets and feet. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“I'm already cold by nature, did you forget? A lack of blanket coverage won't be an issue, nor would feet hanging off the bed be... although... hm...”</b></span> A sudden thought occurred to her. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“I always feel warmer for a while after I've drank someone's blood and it's rather nice. Perhaps I'm still lukewarm from before..? Otherwise, perhaps I could have you warm me up, like when Iberis warmed my hands?”</b></span> She teased, recalling having Iberis warm her hands earlier today and how nice that'd been.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #800000"><b>“I don't think I've had alcohol before, at least not in my previous life. I tried wine once, in this life. It... it made me vomit. A lot and painfully so. I don't really seem to digest anything that's not blood. Not even water.”</b></span> She admitted. As a result, she'd also turn down the champaign. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Spreading flower petals all around is considered romantic?”</b></span> That was news to her. It was odd as well, as to her, it just looked messy. Weirder even was what Scylla did next. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Do it..? Do what?”</b></span> She was even more confused now. She'd normally ask Sophia, but that one was gone.<br>
<br>
Despite Kalina's questions, Scylla concluded things at her own pace. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Alright.”</b></span> Kalina said, as she started taking her clothes off again for the third time today, except this time she could keep them off. Beds felt nicer without clothing on, she'd learned. This bed in particular looked worth of enjoying to its fullest. However, as she got onto the bed, she realised she finally had the chance to ask what she'd been wondering about for a while now. She just needed to ensure that the energetic which would know how serious she was about it. Luckily enough, she had an idea. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Hey, Scylla.”</b></span> She'd start, turning towards the witch and grabbing her wrists to push it down onto the bed, as she quickly got atop Scylla. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“When you were teasing me before... sticking a bloodied finger in my mouth. What was that?”</b></span> She'd ask. She needed to know this.<br>
<br>
She'd lean in, displaying her fangs and breathing onto Scylla's neck. Then she whispered. <span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="color: #800000"><b>“What if I were to say that, even after all that happened today, after all the blood I drank, after all the trouble we've been through, I'd still want to drink yours. That I don't even need to do so due to thirst, but that I simply want it out of raw desire. What if I'd say that it makes me feel good in ways I didn't know someone could feel good? What if I'd say that it's even better when it's drinking blood from those I know and care about? That I've learned that the taste alone is only part of why it's so nice, as biting into someone directly is extremely intoxicating, enough so to keep wanting to do it, even though I'm afraid I might hurt someone or cause them to be as low on blood as Iberis was... If I'd tell you all that, what would you think of that part of me? Would you think it's part of the monster I need to get rid off, or would you be like Sophia and claim that it's normal... that's perfect as is? Would you let me have my way and still be able to see me as a friend afterwards?”</b></span></span> As she said the last sentence, her teeth were lightly touching Scylla's neck. A test to both herself and to Scylla.<br>

As Cayde was (supposedly) sleeping or (possibly) lying awake, with Morana in the bunk above him, he'd suddenly hear the sounds of metal clanging upon metal. It wasn't loud, but still audible. With his perception (E) he'd hear the sounds of groaning and muttering, silent whispers, barely audible. <span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“Come on... not now... stupid... fucking... arm...”</b></span></span> It sounded like she was trying (yet failing) to Tinker with her mechanical arm, which had either woken her up in the middle of the night or which had been keeping her up. It also sounded like she might not be feeling well, from her heavy breathing as if she was short on air. Finally, it sounded like she tried to keep as quiet as she could whilst doing so, but failed. It was unclear if the Vampire Hunters had also caught on, but there didn't seem to be any sign of them past their barriers. Kelsey hadn't yet returned.</div>

<br>
Scylla would lay down, letting out another sigh and then pulling up the covers up to her neck. Her whole body ached, her feet ached, her <i>SOUL </i>ached. She felt she couldn't move from how tired she was, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"K, could you get the lights, i mean, candles."</span> It was strange how such a place was set up for romantic encounters. She wondered, but ultimately, the witch wouldn't give it any more thought. There was a vampire they had to find, she was their leader, and so much depended on her. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"I'm so tired, goodness, i don't believe i've slept in a bed since.."</span> She recollected as she gazed up at the ceiling, her eyes slowly but surely closing, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"..the.. academy i think.. i wonder what Clarice is up too."</span> When she opened an eye however, she quickly noticed something.. odd. She was probably already dreaming wasn't she? It couldn't be the silhouette of Kalina. <i><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">Pfft! Scylla, you're such a perv. </span></i>She'd think to herself before closing her eyes, she was too tired to even notice the bare vampire laying next to her. It was then that Kalina spoke, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Hm? Yes?"</span> She muttered with closed eyes, then the question made her open her eyes a bit more, noticing the vampire laying next to her.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "My.. finger?" </span>She repeated, perhaps it was just in her nature to forget such things. But she recollected regardless,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "..oh.."</span> She chuckled softly, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"..yeah, i was just playing around. Since we never seem to ever have a moment." </span><br>
<br>
It was then that the vampire suddenly exerted some force upon her wrists, effectively bracing her down, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Huh?"</span> She gasped suddenly noticing the vampire sitting on her stomach, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"I.. suppose that aforementioned moment is here."</span> She stated as her mind revved back up to life as it dealt with the surprise moment now before her. She looked up at her, her expression changing from shocked to surprised to a bit afraid. Somewhere deep down she knew she couldn't deny the vampire any longer. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Oh merciful Rosan of the Underworld.."</span> She whispered before addressing the vampire, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"..well, i would say to you to do as you wish. I.. have been neglectful of your urges and well.. i suppose a mouse cant run forever can they?" </span>her expression then suddenly became a little coy, kind of bringing her shoulders up a bit getting Kalina's face out of her neck, trying not to giggle,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "Okay, okay you win! That tickles!! ..uhm, but first.. could i have that glass over there?" </span>She raised her eyebrows at the extra glass of champagne that she poured for Kalina, which she declined. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"..perhaps, this might be a good occasion for that? You know, since you can't really drink. Maybe, this will make so you can?"</span> She'd tug on her wrist, taking it back and getting the glass. She attempted a smile at the vampire, noticing her quite either lustful, or hungry expression. She felt so small in the presence of such passionate hunger, or desire and a little nervous. Taking a sip as best she could under restrain then a gulp, she shook her head quickly,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "Bbbbrt! That's.. a bit too strong for me."</span> She shivered, getting goosebumps. <br>
<br>
She'd give Kalinas wrist back,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "Okay, i think i'm ready."</span> Again smiling nervously. She'd close an eye and peek with the other as Kalina's mouth got closer and closer to her neck. There was something oddly, arousing about it. Making her expose her neck a bit more, as her mouth gaped, trying to catch her breath. her heart raced, likely making the vampire hungrier. She likely felt it as it was then Kalina took a bite. She bit her bottom lip a bit as she gasped, it wasn't at all painful. In fact, it was like getting a shot which she remembered from her previous life. Except this was two, and in her neck. She eyes lids sort of drooped with pleasure as her blood was taken. She'd felt the mana coursing through her body along with her vitality drain through her neck. She suddenly could care less if she died, she almost desired to be set free of this world, to return to the pleasurable source of everything that existed and would exist. She looked up at the ceiling, then as the vampire leaned in closer, pushing her weight on the witch, she'd slowly take her hands back, and entwined her fingers with Kalinas. Closing her eyes, humming a bit. <br>

 </b>​</div><br>
As Cayde eased onto the bed, he felt hours of tension seep oin ut into the mattress. He took a breath, eyes shifting lazily on the bed above. No gleaming stars. No willowy trees swaying in the breeze. No dying embers rushing into the night sky. A melancholic feeling welling in his gut, Cayde looked off to the side. He couldn't hear Zane downstairs, bottles clinking and floorboards creaking as he closed the shop. No pitter-patter of Kesh sneaking about, either. Just silence. Unbearable, unfamiliar silence. Cayde's gaze fell back onto the bunk above. The bed didn't feel so comfortable anymore. His eyes didn't feel so heavy. It was <i>too</i> quiet. The woods weren't this quiet. <i>Home</i> wasn't this quiet. <br>
<br>
What felt like hours must've passed until he heard a sound. Cayde slowly lifted himself out of bed. It was coming from above. Something metallic sounding. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Morana...?"</span> </b>He waited a minute. More noises, and none of them were reassuring. Cayde clenched his teeth. Morana's labored breaths felt even more unsettling than the silence. Did she need help? Was she suffering from those drugs again? <b>"<span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">You're gonna be okay. Hold on, I'm coming up,"</span> </b>He got to his feet, eyes scouring the darkness for his pack. The solution, if not temporary, would be in there. <br>
<br>
Steadying his breathing, Cayde peered into the space where he thought his hands would be. There was a cantrip for this. The grimoire had all sorts of those. All he'd need to do was remember. <b><i><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Alright..."</span> </i></b>He muttered, shutting his eyes and channeling mana into his hand, forming technique. Then, his palm tickled as intention became a reality, a small, light-bearing orb floating out of his palm into the air beside him. <b>[Magic F + Arcana F + Control Environment F + Focus F]</b>. <br>
<br>
Through the orb's hazy yellow light, Cayde saw the large silhouette of his pack leaning on the bed's leg. He dived for it, lifting flaps, removing bottles, and mixing powders into fluids until he created his <b>[Natural Cure - D]</b>. He practically flew up the ladder to Morana's bunk. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Here, it's the same thing as last time, just a little bit more potent,"</span> </b>He said, offering the aromatic concoction, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Come on, it'll make you feel a lot better,"</span></b><br>

<br>
Iberis listened intently to what Shion had to say regarding the clothing. <span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">“I’m really sorry to hear that you had that experience along with everything else Shion. I know that people are capable of really horrible things..and as much as I hate to say it, there are people in this world who definitely sounded like the awful people from yours…it seems like no matter how hard we try people always end up choosing the darkness..but as you’ve found there are many who try their best to do good in the world too..At least when we’re in a private place where you won’t gain that kind of attention I want you to feel as comfortable as you can.” </span>She reaffirmed her with a soft smile, making some eye contact briefly. <br>
<br>
After she told her that the healing had helped, she then watched the tail wagging ensue and the brighter, and it was rather cute seeing Shion move that way, as Iberis’s smile got a bit stronger seeing that. She was just glad that Shion was with her and was feeling better than she had been it sounded like at least.<br>
Iberis listened as Shion spoke about her predicament once more, Iberis shifted her legs slightly, looking down briefly at her undead one.It was sort of relieving that Shion hadn’t taken any offense to it or made any less than desirable comment about it. It looked paler than the rest of Iberis and likely felt cooler if it was touched, granted there was still circulation there so it wouldn’t have been like a regular undead’s leg but it certainly looked more youthful  corpse-like. Of course Shion couldn’t see under her dress but where the leg was attached to Iberis just suddenly became normal again at the attachment sight, where there was likely evidence of grafting at the connection point.<br>
She nodded to show that she was paying attention when Shion mentioned the forest bit. That was understandable, there were many dangers in this world so it was understandable that she didn’t want to get herself killed so readily. Of course Iberis knew that there had to be some relatively safe forests somewhere which monsters or criminals didn’t frequent, The See still seemed like the best option there. Perhaps some green spaces in other areas too, though she’d really need to touch up on her knowledge about those sorts of places. When Shion paused to talk Iberis looked a bit more concerned, albeit briefly trying to gauge how Shion was feeling in that moment since her voice faltered. She had an urge to tell her it was okay then and there when her ears drooped and she looked away, Iberis’s smile turning into worried look, but then there was the Sigh and Shion started to speak again, seemed like giving her time to think had been the move there.<br>
<br>
Iberis’s face did become a bit more sad upon hearing all about Oliva and how Shion and Oliva apparently both perished in their last world trying to save it from the calamity that Shion had been describing. At the very least she had come back In Iberis’s world was all she could think. There were many points that Iberis could have interjected but she wanted to be present for her and listen to Shion first before she gave her piece on some of the matters. Iberis couldn’t help but almost find herself tearing up a bit when Shion mentioned how meeting the group had been helpful to her, she even found herself almost giggling a tad at the Scylla comment.<br>
<br>
 By the point that Shion was making her way over and sitting down on the bed beside her, and told her she was an open book, the first thing Iberis had an instinct to do was reach over, and if Shion would allow her to, she’d give her a gentle hug from the side.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">“You’ve..been through a lot Shion, I can tell that you and Oliva must have made one another very happy…and you were both very noble.”</span> She then eventually broke the hug off.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">“And, It’s..really okay, I have a strong feeling that you wouldn’t do anything like that.”</span> she said, referring to  the replacement comment.<br>
<br>
She then reaffirmed her<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)"> “You are speaking your truth which I can respect, I can handle whatever you want to tell me it’s the least I can do that much for you.”</span><br>
<br>
She laughed some herself when Shion did, finding it rather contagious when she really thought about the whole situation there they were talking about this kind of heavy stuff in a room like this decked out for lovers to have the best time possible.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">“While I don’t know what it’s like to be hunted or a lot of the things that you went through, I can relate to traveling alone. You see, I grew up at an Orphanage in Ryke. I never knew my parents or who they are. Anyway  when I was old enough they let me out, and I survived a while by doing jobs here and there on the streets, unofficial quests and stuff like that. But I can’t say that I had all too many people I was ‘friends’ with. Many of my early days were doing a lot of things solo.”</span><br>
<br>
She moved her feet a bit back and forth against the bed idly, while she continued,<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)"> “But I can tell you right now very much like you..I much prefer traveling with my friends, I’ve been through a lot with some of the people there and I’d trust my life to them.”<br>
<br>
“Which brings me to Scylla. I am sorry about her behavior sometimes. She really does  generally mean well, when I first met her she was a lot different actually, like really cold and cool with her powerful magic, but now she’s super friendly and bubbly, i’m not really sure what happened..but I can tell you that she’s deeply caring, sometimes she just gets sidetracked or acts impulsively against her better judgment, so it’s not..intended to be personal from her..I like to think I Know her enough to have determined that..she was my very first friend at the Academy, and She’s always been there for me when I’ve needed her, then from that point on..I met…”</span><br>
<br>
She paused, as if the next bit was harder to say, her face looking more solemn and serious<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)"> ”Renee and through Renee Chandra..”<br>
<br>
“Which I guess leads me back to the memory thing, I know that there’s a lot of information up here” </span>She’d gesture to her head.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">“ I just have a hard time accessing it all on command is all..I guess I'm still sort of in shock and I need to work at it, I just wanted to reiterate that if you look around in there, there might be some disturbing stuff that I won’t have much control over if you stumble upon it..so I wouldn’t want to subject you to that if you don’t..want he possibility of  to exposing yourself to that sort of thing..just wanted to make that clear." </span> She finally let out.<br>

They think nothing of the long term, nothing of what effects their actions have on the world and those around them. And they-"</span> Shion cut herself off after she realized she was rolling with Iberis' line about humans embracing darkness everywhere more readily than she would've liked. She grimaced, a somewhat shamed look crossing her visage a moment.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Forget I said that, it does a disservice to the betters of your race."</span> She sighed heavily, her shoulders slumping in the process. Then Iberis' hug came, and it removed Shion's internal chastisement of herself as she listened closely to the mage's words. After Iberis' words, a couple wet spots formed on her sleeve. Shion was crying.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Iberis..." </span>Was all Shion could manage for the moment. She didn't speak, but she did respond. She shifted her body and pulled the girl into an embrace. She didn't say anything for some time, listening to Iberis' words. Her feelings on Shion's statement about replacing Olivia, Iberis' trust in Shion's feelings, the time Iberis spent alone and with the orphanage, and her preference on traveling with friends. Shion let out a single<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)"> "heh," </span>as if to try and regain her composure while Iberis began talking about Scylla while the kitsune finally let the mage go.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Iberis, I-" </span>Shion started to speak, only to hear Iberis speak rather solemnly about this woman named Renee, and Chandra. <i><span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)">Renee...I wonder if that's Chandra's sister...</span></i><br>
<br>
Shion's tail swung in front of her body and tickled just under the mage's nose a little, hoping she was a little ticklish there to hopefully prop up her mood a little as she was finally functioning again herself. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Come now, there's no need to dampen that pretty face with a frown, granted I haven't been helping much with that." </span>Shion exhaled with brief annoyance at herself. She was supposed to the the centuries old kitsune here to give this young woman her wisdom, yet here she was being far more emotional than she expected. Iberis really had been a point for Shion to rally around since she got here though, Iberis wasn't comfortable in this city just like Shion, Iberis immediately showed an interest in Shion's origins and wanted to talk with her, and she had helped and encouraged Shion from the moment they met. Cayde was about the only other person Shion could say had been supporting her from the start, but in a more indirect way than Iberis had directly. There wasn't really any wonder in the kitsune's mind why she allowed herself to be this way around Iberis.<br>
<br>
She smiled at Iberis.<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)"> "If you're worried I'm going to eat Scylla if she squeezes my tail again, you have nothing to worry about...my kitsune form hasn't returned to me anyways."</span> Shion laughed a little before dismissively waving.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Seriously though, I do not hold any ill will towards Scylla, but my tail isn't something I like to be played around with at someone's whim. You saw how I was on the train, I get very...emotional when someone pets my tail. Most kitsune's tails in my world are a symbol of power to their enemies, and a symbol of affection to those they let touch them. At least, that's the gist of it anyways. Scylla touching my tail like that...it isn't just because I don't like my tail squeezed, it's like she's disrespecting both my power and my emotions as well. It's a trifecta of humiliation that, frankly, she's lucky my power is lacking enough that a slap was the best my instincts could think of for a first time offense...in my world she would've gone to bed with nightmares...maybe for a few days..."</span> Shion's tone was jovial during her explanation as she informed the mage what her kind was like, chuckling at the end as it gave a faint idea that, while Shion wasn't mad, she took touching her tail like that <i>very</i> seriously. Speaking of the past again prompted Iberis to speak about her memories in regards to what Shion was about to scour through. Shion smiled at Iberis' desire to keep her sane and safe.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Iberis, I greatly appreciate your desire to keep me unharmed, I feel we are mutual in that understanding. Sadly...I doubt anything I find in your mind could scar me much. My world...wasn't exactly full of pretty memories towards the end of its life. I saw many horrid things...while I'm sure it will unsettle me a bit to imagine someone like you going through what I find, you do not need to worry for my sanity." </span>Shion's eyes dimmed as she looked towards the window of their room, gazing out over the moonlit scenery that almost made the streets of Widersia beautiful.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Maybe not horrifying, but if you want haunting...just imagine never seeing the sun again...the world wreathed in an everlasting crimson moon..."</span> Some memory seemed to be going through Shion's head as she looked out the window as she didn't speak for several moments before shaking her head.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"I'm sorry, before I get distracted rambling some more, shall I see what I can find?"</span> Shion asked Iberis as her the irises in her eyes began to glow once again before she'd get closet to Iberis and placed one hand near her head as she began to<b> [Mind Dive]</b> into the mage's memories.<br>

As Cayde spoke up, she instantly fell silent. It stayed eerily silent after he managed to light up the room. However, as he got up the bunk, he'd confirm his suspicions. She was awake. With one mechanical arm, she was... opening? Tinkering? Dismantling..? Doing something to the big combat arm. It was in a partially non-functional state, but something was clearly wrong with it. It was twitching at irregular intervals, clawed fingers contracting, opening, moving. Small gears turning. All without clear function or reason. That probably wasn't meant to happen.<br>
<br>
As for Morana herself, he was right on the money. The drugs. She was going through withdrawal. Enough so for her to not even hesitate, she'd practically rip the concoction from his hands and downed it in one go. She no longer even cared about what it was or if it'd truly be safe. She needed it too badly. Her breathing steadied ever so slightly a bit later, as she regained her voice. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“My apologies, sir. I was... underestimating the effects of no longer having my regular dosages. That and...”</b></span> She was hesitant. Insecure if she should talk about it, look at Cayde, then at her arm. No, at this point, she might as well be honest. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“I promised I'd share my story, didn't I? It's perhaps a bit late, but...”</b></span> She shook her head. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“You'll have it.”</b></span> She spoke, even though she remained silent for a bit longer, mentally preparing herself.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“Almost twelve years ago, I was married. My husband, the most beautiful Elf I'd have ever seen, had chosen me, a simple and plain Human, to marry. Can you imagine? It was like I was living in a fairy tail. We were married for six years when our first child was born. A boy. He'd have been six now... Two years later, another was born. A girl. The boy took after me, but the girl took after her father. Both were some of the most amazing things I'd ever seen, but I guess most parents would say that, wouldn't they?”</b></span> Her tone, through her mask, was mostly emotionless, but the parts at which she slowed down made it very clear that she was getting emotional. Her eyes, however, were as cold and dead as always.<br>
<br>
She continued. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“I worked as a maid, that time. Doing housekeeping for nobles. Not the most honourable job, but enough to help support our household. The kids would stay at a daycare. One day, I returned to pick them up. We had a car, much smaller and far less fancy than the Baron's, but still, a valuable luxury. We were driving home that day, when someone crashed into us with a far bigger car, which had been going at insane speeds through the roads. Its steam-tank was almost exploding from how heated it'd gotten. Dangerous. Reckless. Stupid. One could call it a lot of things, but I'd call it outright murder...”</b></span> She remained silent for a long while, clearly in pain, thinking through these phases of her life.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“I awoke in the hospital months later. My right arm was gone. My knees had been replaced with metal ones. My lungs and breathing, part of my jaw, all had been fixed up with mechanisms. You could imagine the shock, awaking like that. However, that wasn't the worst of it. My children. Neither had made it. They'd been cremated, their ashes taken to be spread through the See with my husband. He'd stayed with me for a month, but when I wasn't waking up, he'd left, unable to keep living with such sadness. I... was furious at first, but I can no longer blame him. I was driving when our children died and I myself was as good as dead. He'd have no clue if I'd awake again. His decision was a reasonable one. I just hope he spread their ashes somewhere beautiful and that he's living a better life now.”</b></span> She sighed a deep mechanical sounding sigh.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“That's not where it ends, however, as I learned another thing. Before he left, my husband had tried to keep the one who crashed into us accountable. Some son of a nobleman. A bastard who cared for nobody, but himself. Not only had my husband failed, they threatened him to the point he felt pressured to leave. Or perhaps he would've left even without them, due to my state... I'll never know. All I know is that I felt this rage. Something so fierce that I'd never felt it before.”</b></span> Once again, she was silent for a while.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“I'll spare you the details, but I killed that nobleman's son. Slowly and painfully. Normally they say that revenge doesn't bring you solace, but I'd say that's a lie. To me, it felt great. That's when I learned how [Bloodthirsty] I truly was. Needlessly to say, I got arrested. I never planned to escape or stay hidden to begin with, I was ready to meet my maker, but the Baron offered me a deal. That's how we got here. Doing something I learned I loved doing after losing everything I loved before it.”</b></span> <br>
<br>
After another deep sigh, she finished with one more explanation. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“I hate telling this, as some folk believe I'll need sympathy. I don't. I've gotten used to this life now. However, sometimes... People tend to do things. You, Shion, even that witches' antics. It's confusing. It reminds me of things. This arm that Fromm gave me, it somehow tends to malfunction whenever my mind's in turmoil, as if I can only control it fully when I'm hooked up on drugs and bloodthirsty. Either way, with your supply, I should be able to function as normal, so please, don't worry on that regard. I'll do my best to see this mission through, sir.”</b></span> She closed off, sounding a lot more formal again. She'd shown a lot of weakness, but she was clearly not used to doing so.<br>

Kalina would blow out the candles upon being asked. Thanks to her Darkvision, it didn't make too much of a difference to her. There was just a bit less colour. That was the innocent part.  The reaction to the other parts was different. Honestly, she'd been a bit scared to try this. After all, what if she'd been wrong? What if this did scare Scylla or make Scylla hate her? She could finally leave such concerns out of her mind. In fact, she could rejoice, as the opposite held true. Although Scylla's first words made her withdraw a bit. A mouse running sounded like Scylla wouldn't actually want this, but that she was instead doing it out of a feeling of being indebted. That's not what Kalina was after. However, that changed. She'd pass over the entire bottle. No need for glasses, she figured. Honestly, she'd normally wonder if she could indeed get alcohol through someone's blood, but right now, she was already far too intoxicated by something else. <br>
<br>
When Scylla finally said she was ready, Kalina couldn't hold back any-more, sinking her teeth into the witches' neck. It wasn't as great as before. It was greater. The little part of her mind that wasn't too busy enjoy this to its fullest rejoiced. She did feel different, knowing this was truly voluntarily, not like how it'd been with Cayde and Iberis. She did have some sense of herself left, even now, even though all her senses were overwhelmed and highly stimulated by the experience. She wasn't sure if it was her being flustered somehow, or if Scylla's blood was particularly warm and sweet, like an extremely sugary and syrupy cup of steaming hot tea. It was amazing, so much so that she'd had to force herself to stop. She'd not want to cause yet another of her friends to be too low on blood.<br>
<br>
Even as she stopped drinking, her face would stay near Scylla's neck for a bit, her hands finding enjoyment in being intertwined with Scylla's hands. She could hear the witch hum a bit and smiled. Then, out of instinct, she'd move her lips from Scylla's neck to her lips to press a kiss upon them. Something she'd learned from Sophia just today, but which she'd already taken a liking too. For better or worse, unless Scylla would stop Kalina, she'd end up feeling the vampire's kiss and the faint taste of some traces of her own blood remaining on the vampire's lips and mouth.<br>
<br>
A bit later, she spoke... <span style="color: #800000"><b>“That was amazing... thank you. You're every bit as intoxicating as that little tease suggest you might be.”</b></span> She finally uttered. Suddenly, she felt... shy. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“I... I ehm... I don't really do such things often, unless with Sophia, but she... well, she clearly knows what she wants, but... ehm... I hope you liked it as well?”</b></span> She'd ask, more than a little awkwardly.</div>

Morana's story felt like a fist to Cayde's gut. For a moment, he looked into her eyes. She'd seen so much pain - been through it in equal measure. Both unforeseen and consequential. How could he take that away? What words could make it all better? <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"I-I'm sorry to hear about that..."</span> </b>He paused and shook his head. No, that wouldn't do. He needed to be honest. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"I don't know what to say to you. No platitude I can give can change what happened. You've already made your choices. You've suffered. There are no words I can say that can fix that."</span></b> Cayde said solemnly, looking away and slightly shrugging, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"And even if I tried, then what? Maybe you feel a bit better. Maybe you don't. Nothing changes. <i>That </i>still happened." </span></b>Then, he looked back to Morana, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"But I can at least offer you my appreciation now. It takes a special kind of strength to admit what you said. I'm glad you chose me, Morana. Thank you."</span></b><br>
<br>
As Morana mentioned Scylla and Shion, his eyes fell on the mattress, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"I can't tell you why my friends care about you, Morana. I don't know them." </span></b>Cayde sighed, his grip intensifying on the ladder, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"And that's the thing, yeah? How can I call <i>anyone</i> here a friend when I know nearly nothing about them?"</span> </b>He paused again, eyes distant in thought. Kesh, Kalina, and Ceylan, what was their biggest fear? Their favorite memory? He couldn't remember. Did he even know to begin with? <br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Nevermind that, though."</span> </b>He said, quickly pushing the thought into the recesses of his mind, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"I can tell you why <i>I </i>care: it's because you deserve comfort,"</span> </b>He held up a hand, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"And don't think it's because of your story or pity. It's because you're on my team. Just like everyone else fighting for the good of this city,"</span> </b>Finally, he nodded, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"And when you're on my team, I will do my <i>damndest </i>to make sure you end up just a bit more comfortable. Doesn't matter who you are." </span></b><br>
<br>
Cayde loosened his grip on the ladder and made his way down, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"The situation with Chima made you uncomfortable, I know," </b></span>He continued, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"It was a heavy price to pay, and no amount of apologies can change it, but I can at least try to make it up to you. It doesn't matter if you forgive me. Just wait until the morning comes," </b></span>With that, he settled back on his bed, though one more thing still flew into his mind, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"One more thing. You said our actions <i>remind</i> you of things, yeah?" </span></b>He asked, peering at the bunk above, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"You don't have to tell me if you don't want to. Whatever makes you comfortable." </b></span></div>

Thankfully for Shion Iberis didn’t seem particularly offended as she listened to what Shion had today. She wasn’t wrong about that being true for some humans, even many humans. There were plenty who did terrible things for their most basest of desires regardless of the morality involved. She had a feeling that Shion had worked quite hard to get to where she was at with level of tolerance and understandings she had for humans to begin with given all the awful things they had done to her.<br>
She hadn’t really been accounting for Shion to start tearing up so much more directly, so in response she let Shion hold her closer, and she hugged her back, gently rubbing her back in an attempt at a soothing way while she was speaking<br>
<br>
Upon hearing Shion say her name twice, and then the Heh, Iberis felt a bit relieved that Shion was seemingly feeling a bit better? But before she knew it she had a tail tickling her face and it was an area that had quite a few nerve endings to say the least so she found herself giggling, as the expression that Shion had been commenting quickly turned to one of joy.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">“Thanks Shion..”</span> Iberis replied after the fact a soft smile back on her face again, indeed it seemed to perk her mood up well enough. She then listened to Shion’s talk about the tail business which was straight forward enough. That was a relief to hear, not that she thought for a moment that Shion would actively attempt to seriously harm Scylla for doing that like by ‘eating’ her. She was getting to hear why it bothered Shion beyond it just obviously being rather impolite. Suddenly coming up to someone who was still largely a stranger and randomly feeling them in a rough way because you could was definitely against the vast majority of people she had met etiquette in the realm. It was also a relief to hear that she wasn’t holding ill will against her.<br>
A look of realization fell upon Iberis’s face now understanding why it went beyond that.<br>
<br>
 <span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">“She definitely doesn’t know that..and I don’t think she’d do it if she did, I’ll have to have a talk with her about it so that she understands how it feels, unless you’d like to do it yourself..either way there isn’t any reason you should have to deal with that.  And  I Think if she was made aware she wouldn’t do it.” </span><br>
The almost playful tone at the nightmare comment did make Iberis smile nevertheless before she continued<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">“I  imagine  many of the [beast] people would feel similarly if not for the same personal reasons, even though I don't know much about them one could only assume many wouldn’t appreciate being treated like someone’s pet.” </span>She affirmed.<br>
<br>
Iberis couldn’t help but feel bad when Shion mentioned that seeing what happened in her world before she died had been that traumatic or awful but given the grand scope of what she had been talking about conflict wise unfortunately that sounded very feasible.<br>
<br>
The witchy youth found herself gazing at Shion’s side profile while she looked out at the night scenery. Iberis decided that she was decidedly quite pretty. Iberis replied softly, <span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">“I’m glad that we’re on the same page then.”</span> However the imagery Shion described not long after was far from comfortring, and that was just the environment, she could only imagine the death and destruction which had followed.<br>
<br>
She would have comforted Shion about what she described but before she could decide fully if she wanted to speak on the scene it wasn’t long before Shion was initiating her mind ability and Iberis nodded<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)"> “I think you’re right better we do it now..”</span> consenting to the ability as she closed her eyes and relaxed.<br>

		<span>Spoiler: <span class="bbCodeSpoiler-button-title">What Shion Sees In Iberis's Mind</span></span>
	</span></button>
	<div class="bbCodeSpoiler-content">
		<div class="bbCodeBlock bbCodeBlock--spoiler">
			<div class="bbCodeBlock-content">The opening Shion was left with at first was some kind of mixture of scenes and memories from the Iberis’s perspective ,walking along the streets of Ryke, begging, doing errands for people, some even going as far back as her looking up at the roof her room just before bed at the orphanage.<br>
<br>
There was one memory in particular that came up, in some kind of stoned space, it looked like Shion was getting the view from Iberis’s perspective, as Kalina raised a blade and Shion could hear a heart beat began to increasingly get faster and louder, until suddenly the blade came downand red crimson blood spurted all over the place before the memory suddenly shifted again. But as these memories kept flickering suddenly as if Iberis was standing right before Shion, a manifestation of her in her mind turned to Shion and said simply.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">“Follow me.”</span>  As Iberis figure dressed just like when Shion had first met Iberis  began moving swiftly past a blur of memories in the wide  dark open space, and just like that suddenly the scene changed and the Iberis figure disappeared.<br>
<br>
What Shion was then met with was in a first person view, it looked devoid of life, and waste the scent of decay could be smelled, incredibly large bones to who knew what creature was around the main source of light coming from the moon, of the vast land. The perspective point of view then looked down revealing two hands which did not look like Iberis’s what so ever, they were much older, the fingers were longer and more corpse like, from a robe, and below that there were two more even large undead like arm appendages sticking out from whoever was looking around, for a total of four arms. One of the large atypically sized hands was holding onto what looked like some sort of magic text which it had opened up.<br>
<br>
 On the ground on all fours was a person coughing up blood, they were heavily armored in knights gear and defining characteristics were out of view, with the armor covering so much.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(235, 107, 86)">“P-Please help me..” </span>They’d groan out, more blood spattering out of their mouth. <span style="color: rgb(235, 107, 86)">“She..did this..to me..please..it hurts.” </span>The figure let out more.<br>
<br>
The four armed one whose perspective the vision was from replied in a distinctive masculine voice, if albeit eccentric sounding.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">“Oh just be quiet,  you’re an idiot who  got yourself into this mess by your own accord, As far as I’m concerned you sowed what you reaped.” </span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(235, 107, 86)">“I’ve been in pain so long..I know you can help me.. I don’t know how much longer I can go on..”</span> The figure strained.<br>
<br>
“And how is that my problem? I have a kingdom for the rightful king to reclaim and your life in the grand scheme of all of this is worth very little, even if I consider you an ally..”<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(235, 107, 86)">“I..can see the vision too I’ve fought for so long on your side..I just want to keep fighting her, please let me be in your servitude I’ll..do whatever if takes if you’d just..remove this..”</span><br>
<br>
The POV voice let out an exasperated sigh, <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">“You would almost be doing us a favor by showing us how long someone can survive afflicted to the extent you’ve been. But I suppose I’ll see what I can do..but as you know everything comes with a price..” </span>The unenthused annoyed  voice said.<br>
<br>
As if on cue there was a skeletal bird of sorts which had a blue ectoplasmic hue between it’s bones that came out of a black and white energized portal, which appeared to be held in some kind of cage formed out of human bones. The large undead hand with black finger nails reached over to the cage, and the other one that was holding the strange ornate book in an unknown language lifted it up and placed it into the upper right hand of the POV figure.<br>
<br>
The POV figure than began to speak in some strange tongue and after some time suddenly it looked as if the ghost like bird shriveled up into ashes, and the heavily armored figure on the ground suddenly began to stand up and stop coughing up blood, as the black and white energy entered their body from the POV figure’s hand.<br>
Until suddenly they pulled out some kind of red energy with the same hand that had sent the white and black magic energy over, before they forced the red energy onto an femur bone on the ground that began to crack red and weep a red substance.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">“Equivalent exchange to cure such a powerful curse..this entity was very high in vitality...”</span><br>
<div style="text-align: center"><br>
<span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)"><b>???</b></span><br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1674887321393-png.1093086/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1030/1030216-a035a6772aad4a31a63a96d7dcb6068d.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1674887321393.png" title="1674887321393.png" width="100" height="134" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
But just as that memory was ending and it looked like the figure was going to say something back. The memory cut short and Shion was greeted with the visage extremely close up to her view of a male face, as the ‘camera’ panned back it revealed an open space much like the opening area but it was littered with humanoid bones all around of varying kinds, and what stood before her was a very four armed, one arm not complete looking more like a stump,  undead looking person let out a dark cackle, towering over her.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">“And just what do you think you’re doing here coming into my domain? Who my apprentice invites in is one thing, but those who wish to gaze at what I have to offer is another matter entirely.” </span>The figure asked, looking directly at Shion, his completely white eyes staring at her.</div>

Scylla had taken quite the gulp from being handed the entire bottle! Regardless, she didn't drink all that much more than she would have through a glass anyway, she let the bottle down off the edge of the bed softly until it stood on the floor, starring up at the vampire. It was all so sudden! Kalina wasted no time in taking her prize. She'd hold the back of Kalinas neck a bit almost pressing her in further, however, that's when Kalina broke away. Closing her eyes, a bit as the vampires fangs exited the punctured vein in her neck. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Mm."<br>
<br>
"Is.. that it?"</span> She asked sweetly, feeling like she had woken up from some kind of pleasant dream, a big smile on her face. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"..hmm.."</span> She hummed even as the vampire panted on her neck,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "..hey that wasn't so bad!"</span> She said with joyous surprise, however that's when Kalina pressed her bloodied lips upon hers. Upon contact something stirred within the witch. Something, quite unexpected.<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/unnamed-4-jpg.1093197/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1030/1030327-a1072d02e5e7029e5534869fba7db941.jpg" class="bbImage bbImageAligned--right" style="" alt="unnamed (4).jpg" title="unnamed (4).jpg" width="100" height="100" loading="lazy"></a><br>
<br>
The room seemed to grow dark, an eerie magical darkness slowly coming over the place, shadows seemed to dance like flames. Grinning faces, solemn faces, laughing faces and giggling faces all dancing  in silence about the rooms walls. various little red pairs of eyes starred into the room, silently giggling, while others watched fiercely. They looked like little devils with tails, horns, sharp teeth and mischievous as they held various weapons, like small clubs, or rusted swords. However, they couldn't break the veil from the world beyond into the world of the living. They seemed to be incredibly attracted to the witch, perhaps she was giving off some kind of scent, or perhaps the supernatural act of her kissing the undead. Regardless, a shadow was being casted, and something was indeed awakened.<br>
<br>
Scylla's was kissing Kalina back as the bright silhouette of something sinister appeared above the beds back rest. A figure of someone or something. Suddenly Scylla's mind would swirl, like her entire consciousness was going down some kind of drain. However, her body continued with the loving or lustful act. The witch would put her arms around the vampire, however, little did Kalina notice Scylla's claws growing in length, her hair changing, her underclothes and even the clothes laid out and about magically began to transform like water colors in a glass of water.<br>
<br>
Two large horns began to grow from her head, a different consciousness was being channeled through the witch. However, when Scylla opened her eyes.. she'd open them from some kind of void. Seeing everything through some kind of magical mirror that revealed that she observed the world as a spectator. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">Uh.. what the? </span>The witch said, but her words wouldn't emit through the body she was witnessing. She was no longer her. She was under some other worldly influence.<br>
<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/img-0697-jpg.1093198/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1030/1030328-d45a3b682b82d2f9aa97af16dbe4ced2.jpg" class="bbImage bbImageAligned--left" style="" alt="IMG-0697.JPG" title="IMG-0697.JPG" width="178" height="100" loading="lazy"></a><br>
<br>
Looking at the vampire get up, kind of nervous or perhaps bashful of what had just transpired, the possessed witch sat up slowly. Her body language was different, and she couldn't really be seen by mortal eyes. Although the vampire would most definitely see her through the pitch black darkness. Her red eyes, glowed brighter than ever before, before blinking slowly at the vampire.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"You call <i>that </i>a bite?" </span>She said blankly, as she blinked softly and eerily once more before looking around. <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"Darkness." </span>She whispered before raising both of her hands and audibly clap them once. Suddenly the candles that were put out became lit. <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"There. Much better." </span>She looked at the vampire, looking at her up and down. <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"This explains the darkness in here. Do you bite, Scylla often? Or is this just some <i>weird</i> kind of kink she's just discovered." </span>She brought a hand to her forehead, frustrated, disappointed, and <i>annoyed. </i><span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"What terrible time to arrive. That stupid, stupid witch. She wasn't losing blood because she was in danger, she was losing blood because she was giving it to <i>you</i>." </span>She sighed, before getting back under the covers, <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"I suppose it can't be helped." </span>She muttered with an underlaying annoyed tone. <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"You must be wondering who I am. Yes. They call me by many names, 'The poison on the assassins hand' or 'the plague' or 'the black death' or 'the never ending fever' the 'spirit of blood and disease' but you may refer to me as Velvet. Scylla's, better and less <i>stupid</i> self. It was no wonder Rosan assigned me to her. The Almanac should have never reached her hands. Ugh! That pathetic fairy Cytha. May you remain cursed!" </span>She scoffed at the ceiling. <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"Before you get any ideas.." </span>Velvet's crimson gaze resting on Kalina, <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"..no drinking blood from me, unless you want to be burned through your insides. It seems Scylla has become fond of you so I'm sure Scylla would be happy to give you as much as you like. But if you even <i>think </i>about turning her into an undead blood sucker like you, i'll take your eyes and leave you wandering through the world, blind. Agreed?" </span>There was an oddly calm undertone in her voice as she spoke, it was as if she'd known Kalina her entire life. There was a certain comfort she gave off like that of an older sibling. <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"Before you ask, I have promised to serve, as penance for a misdeed in my world. That is why I’m here. I agreed to help this witch as a special request. She is <i>surprisingly</i>, a critical piece to bringing peace to an age old war against the undead that have spilled over into our world."</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: null">She sighed and looked at Kalina still sitting up, </span><span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"So are you going to lay down with me or not?" </span>She said coldly, before letting out a huff. <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"Do you have any questions for me?" </span>She then asked curiously, her expression changed a bit, one to that of curiosity, like she was expecting some sort of special reaction, one could even say she almost looked like she desired to feel accepted. But perhaps it was the way her eyes looked at Kalina.<br>

She'd merely scoff at Cayde's first replies. She'd heard those types of words before. Although... perhaps not as sincere as now and... come to think of it, not as often after she'd admitted to her revenge. That was peculiar. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“You're one of the few to calmly claim to appreciate me after hearing me talk about committing murder and enjoying it. Far too many tried to claim it was a mistake, an act in the heat of the moment, something I should ask to be forgiven for, yet none of them understand how great it feels to know I personally ended that scum's life. The only other person who appreciates me for who I am is Baron Fromm, although he believes me to be a useful tool, which I ended up living as in turn.”</b></span> She made a weirdly sounding snorting noise, thanks to the mask it sounded even more odd, upon his mention of strength. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“Strength is relative. Most would say I just revealed a big weakness.”</b></span><br>
<br>
His talk on friends surprised her. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“With all due respect, I saw how your group coordinated. Whilst certain actions they make amongst each-other or towards each-other are perhaps a bit brazen and distasteful, you all seem to trust each-other almost unconditionally. Isn't that what counts most? They trust you, you trust them, thus you're friends.”</b></span> Honestly, she wasn't entirely sure what she was talking about. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“Perhaps that's why your group is confusing me. You know little about each-other, you're vastly different, yet you seem to have trust in one another as friends regardless.”</b></span> A sound that could almost be described as a chuckle came from her mask. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“If we weren't hunting vampires, I'd suggest we play 'never have I ever', it's a game my son loved to play, without the drinking, of course, although he'd always brag about doing things he never did.”</b></span><br>
<br>
His team-talk surprised her even more. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“You're a natural born leader, if you were to ask me. I truly don't understand why you're letting the purple witch pretend to be the leader in your stead. Her actions endangered others and the mission multiple times. It's more and more clear she's far less suited to the role than you are.”</b></span> She figured she might as well get that part straight. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“So if you'd truly want to make me more comfortable, I know I'd feel a lot better having you take charge, rather than having the purple witch pretend to be in charge. She makes me feel like my nerves will give out before the drugs have even worn off.”</b></span><br>
<br>
As for his talk about Chima, she was silent for a bit. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“I'll admit that made me furious, but being offered an alternative is a preferable outcome by far. Chima would've found out eventually and it'd be without my knowledge. At least now I knew I as compromised from the get-go and have an alternative.”</b></span> <br>
<br>
Finally, he asked her what they reminded her off. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“You're the type of man I wish my son would've grown up to be like.”</b></span> She'd said it before she realised and wasn't sure what to say afterwards. It was too awkward. She'd just stare at the ceiling wondering what the hell was wrong with her and why she wasn't drenched in vampire-blood already with her mission fulfilled instead of talking about her life with a near-stranger. <br>

She had no clue what she'd done, but frankly, it scared her. Not for her own sake's, but for Scylla's. Things had been going so well, but now... this. Whatever this was, it worried her. The kiss might've been reciprocated and even intensified, but she realised she'd no longer been kissing the same person. That was... awkward. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“I... call that a kiss?”</b></span> She replied on instinct, confused about what in the world was going on here. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“What happened? Who are you? Where's Scylla?”</b></span> She rapid fired the three questions as she withdrew.<br>
<br>
That said, the way this person talked suggested she was familiar with Scylla. It calmed Kalina down ever so slightly. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“No, but I will be doing so.”</b></span> She replied to the question if she'd bite Scylla often, not really liking whomever or whatever this was and their attitude. They'd interrupted her quality time with the syrupy witch. That said... She did look adorable with those horns and blood-red eyes. She was surprised by the woman's introduction. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“You look far too pretty for such horrible names.”</b></span> She ended up replying, wanting to test this strange woman a bit, but also being genuinely surprised. <br>
<br>
However, she did feel offended by a lot of the next statements. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“First, Scylla's not stupid. She just has her own logic. Second, I don't drink blood from those that won't give it to me voluntarily. As much as I'd be curious if the taste has changed now, I won't even have my fangs come near you unless you'd allow me. Third, I'd never want to turn her into an undead. Not only wouldn't I want my friends to suffer the same fate as me, I'd also not want her delicious blood to become as rotten as mine. Of course I'd love them if they could live forever with me, but not by making them undead... not that way.”</b></span> She shook her head at the last part, as she wanted to make those things very clear to whatever was suddenly in front of her. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: #800000"><b>“Lay... down with you?”</b></span> Honestly, having [fatigue resistance] she rarely slept and almost forgot that they were meant to be doing so. <s>She was too inexperienced to even think of another meaning for that statement.</s> She forgot about the question altogether when she was offered a chance to ask questions of her own. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Of course I do! What happened with Scylla? Is she still there?”</b></span> She pointed at Velvet's head. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Also, are you really related to Roshan? I don't want to doubt your story, but you're far, far too pretty to be in any way or shape related to all those abominably gruesome looking undead. It just doesn't add up, unless you're using an illusion?”</b></span> She shook her head, still confused. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Are those even real, they're adorable.”</b></span> She ended up pointing at Velvet's horns. Then she snapped back to it. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Wait, so like, is Scylla even okay? Can't you just... bring her back?”</b></span> This was weird. Almost too weird for her to keep up with.</div>

Cayde felt the corners of his eyes sting when Morana spoke of what kept the group dynamic. <i>Trust</i>. Such a simple, powerful concept. How could he forget about the universal bonding agent? <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Heh, you're right. They might not be sharing secrets, telling me about their dreams, or filling me in on who or what pissed them off this morning, but that doesn't matter, yeah?"</span> </b>Cayde chuckled, folding his arms behind his head, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"They know I've got their back. I know they've got mine. That's enough."</span> </b>Then he sighed as a slew of memories flew by: Following Ceylan into Aston, bringing Kesh to help save Aegorizea, and navigating the Dark Continent with equally wary <i>friends</i>. Letting a vampire - no, a <i>friend</i> take his blood just for an act. <i>That</i> was the bonding agent at play. It followed everywhere. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Nah, scratch that. It's not <i>just</i> enough. It's everything."</span> </b><br>
<br>
As the conversation returned to Scylla, Cayde shifted slightly in bed, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Well, I wouldn't say Scylla is a <i>bad </i>leader. She just... has her own way of approaching things,"</span> </b>He explained, his voice slightly hesitant, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"She came to me after the meeting, y'know. Asked for some feedback on how to be a better leader. I told her she needed to put more faith in the team. She took it well, so maybe we should give her a chance and..."</span> </b>Cayde paused, a dejected sigh escaping him. What was the point of making excuses? <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"I just don't want to make her upset."</span> </b>He finally said, but logic quickly caught up to his emotions. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"But, she doesn't really get upset at all now that I think about it. And as long as I tell how much she means to us as a teammate..."</span> </b>He slowly nodded to himself. Maybe it <i>wouldn't</i> hurt to talk about it with Scylla. Perhaps he didn't have to do it alone, either. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Nevermind. I'll have a little chat with her and the team in the morning. We'll get it settled then."</span></b><br>
<br>
Cayde's eyes grew noticeably heavier, the adrenaline from before clearing in his blood. But as he heard Morana's last statement, his mouth hung agape, speechless. <br>
<br>
It didn't make sense at first. It was supposed to be in reverse, Cayde thought. <i>He</i> was supposed to be one wanting to be like someone else. <i>He</i> was supposed to be the one following paragons. Was he <i>really</i> one himself? <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"I- That- I-" </b></span>He held a fist up to his mouth, trying to keep his breath from hitching. His mind went to Ryken, walking into the apothecary and telling Zane <i>exactly</i> what she said. He pictured his goofy grin, saw the sheer glee in his eyes, felt his brick-like hand slapping him on the back. And heard four little words: <i>I'm proud of you. </i><br>
<br>
He let the tears fall to the pillow. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Th-Thank you, Morana. That means..." </b></span>He took a shaky breath, not a single care about how it sounded, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"I'll keep at it. For him." </b></span></div>

<br>
Velvet simply looked at the vampire, then a little grin drew upon her face. It felt she had struck a chord within the vampire. This was fun. How fun. <i>How cute and.. pathetic. </i>She thought evilly.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"You sound so sure.."</span> She responded to Kalina's claim to be biting her regularly from this moment forward. <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"..what makes you think she'd agree to be your personal sugar rush bag?"</span><br>
<br>
However, upon her next response Scylla would pull on her reins as she began to figure out how to influence Velvet a bit. <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">“Why do you care so much about Scy-“ </span>she shook her head a bit, then glared, looking down, then back up before continuing.<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)"> “Scylla is fine.”</span> She admitted before crossing her arms, <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">“There. Happy?”</span> She scoffed looking away, and tapping her fingers on her own arm.<br>
<br>
<i><span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">I'm just having a bit of fun with your friend. Your vampire lover is absolutely head over heels for you.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">Playing with her feelings is tooootally not good, 'Velvet'. She's not our enemy, so like, chill out.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">C-chill out? You're stranger than i thought, witch.</span></i><br>
<br>
Then, unexpectedly Kalina complimented Velvet. Prompting the demon to look up at her with a mixture of surprise, confusion, shock and a bit of angst.<br>
<br>
However, she wasn’t flattered, and squinted her eyes at her suspiciously. <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">“If you think flattery will gain you my favor, you are gravely mistaken little bat.” </span>She snapped before chuckling evilly, <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">“Scylla is most definitely <i>stupid. </i>You would have to be quite as stupid yourself to not believe it. However, I suppose it’s her uncanny little quirk to provoke feelings of joy in others. And that is certainly why you defend her as such. Tell me, if she wasn't as much of a <i>ditz </i>would you still want her?”</span> She listened to the vampire further, blankly, and void. <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">“You wouldn’t want to taint the witches blood?”</span> A hand came over her soft lips, resisting a flat out laugh. <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"That is.. oh hells.." </span>However, she couldn’t hold it much longer, and finally gave into her amusement. When she was done however she continued, <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">“heh.. ha.. hahaha!”</span> She trembled as she attempted to stop herself from laughing any further. <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">“You’re quite.. heheh.. the comedian, lady Kalina.” </span>She said mockingly albeit humorously,<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)"> “Said and affirmed like a true undead. However as much as I distaste you..undead, you’re at least an honest one.”</span> She rested her back on the beds backrest. <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">“My, oh my, what a treat to be able to stand amongst the living.”</span> She stated with a bit of envy, before closing her eyes happily.<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)"> “It makes me sick.”</span><br>
<br>
After she’d offer the vampire to rest, she looked over to her, rolling her eyes.<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)"> “No. Not in the sexual act kind of way. Who do you take me for?” </span><br>
<br>
She pulled the covers up over herself her horns would tap onto the bed rest, but she calmly adjusted herself with a long high pitched sigh. <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">“How wonderful. After nearly eight hundred years I get to re experience the luxury of sleeping on a bed. Oh yes. Even demons like to sleep. Want to know what we dream about?”</span> She said out loud then looked at Kalina with a grin.<br>
<br>
But then a frown formed on her resting and ecstatic face when Kalina asked the very questions she asked for, <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">“Of course she’s alright. I <i>am technically </i>Scylla, didn’t I make that clear just now?” </span>She gave a bit of a disgusted look. <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"But.. right now.. my name is Velvet. </span>She sighed with frustration.<br>
<br>
<i><span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">Your girlfriend is dense.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">She's just worried about me. Its called a 'relationship'.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">You mean, us. And.. gross.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">Us? Yeah, i guess so? No, you're gross!</span></i><br>

She closed her eyes again, tuning out Scylla in her mind, trying to be more patient this time, however. <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">“No, no.. I am <i>not </i>related to her majesty Rosan. I’m more closely related to </span><i><span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">him who is known by many names.” </span></i>That was the best she could do without naming this ‘him’ in her demonic tongue, and it was a rule she couldn't break for secret reasons. She hoped the vampire Kalina wouldn’t press her further, but she knew she had to give her something. <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">“A deal was made in which I had to serve Rosan to repay my debt, to.. him. My duty is to make sure the witch doesn't die before fulfilling her destiny. I'm her.. guardian of sorts.” </span>She was becoming annoyed at the fact she couldn’t utter his name, so she decided to continue with the other questions. But before she could do so, she pointed at her horns. Provoking a scoff from Velvet. <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">“Do i look like some sort of pet to you? How on earth is being called 'adorable' supposed to make me feel?"</span> Velvet looked at Kalina blankly, <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"And yes, my horns are as real as your fangs, vampire." </span>Velvet took Kalina's hand and placed it on her horn. <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"Very sharp. Now, are we going to sleep? Or do you have more questions?" <br>

That is just my theory anyways."</span> Shion requested of Iberis to settle their topic on Scylla and her tail.<br>
<br>
Once she was inside of Iberis' mind, looking around had her pick up a few traces of memories here and there, something involving Chandra she didn't want to get involved in, although she somehow felt that name was...wrong? When she thought it looking at the memory briefly as if that wasn't how Iberis remembered her. <span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)"><i>Not what I'm here for, and everyone deserves their privacy to a point. </i></span>Shion moved on, and eventually she encountered the mental form of Iberis that guided her through her mindscape. Another memory, she could feel herself getting closer. Armor? That didn't seem like Iberis. This perspective too...could this be the being related to what she was searching for?<br>
<br>
She wouldn't have to ponder the question for long, she was soon standing within Iberis' mindscape before this being she had just occupied the perspective of. For a split moment, Iberis could hear her utter something in the physical realm.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Thalamus? No...thank goodness..."</span> The words were stated under her breath in reality and within Iberis' mind, so there was potential she heard the statement in this strange feeling of mental reverb.<br>
<br>
Shion's resolve hardened as she stared down this being. Her eyes sharpened, her posture stood with no inclination of fear as she replied with conviction.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"If you speak of Iberis Ohdir as your apprentice, then there seems to be a misunderstanding between us. My existence here is not a different matter as you claim it to be. I am here under her guidance because of her desire to regain knowledge buried within her mind, knowledge that you gave her. I am here to restore those memories for her. Nothing more, nothing less."</span> Once again Shion's words would reach Iberis both physically and mentally. Her confidence was well in tact, but her abilities weren't, so she held back the threats that came to her mind as she assumed she couldn't back them up presently.</div>

The entire experience was odd, but at the same time... interesting. She'd gotten a little... excited? Perhaps it was the sugar-rush from Scylla's blood, but she really felt hyped up about this. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“She seemed to enjoy it well enough to offer me a second helping sometime in the future~”</b></span> She'd reply to Velvet, feeling a tad bit smug at that little victory and the sign that her blood-drinking wasn't all that monstrous after all, if more than just Sophia could enjoy it there was definitely more to it.<br>
<br>
As for Scylla being fine, she smiled in relief. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Yes, I am.”</b></span> She'd reply to the question if she was happy or not. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Flattery...? No, I mean, maybe? It's, just, you really are a lot nicer looking than the rest of them?”</b></span> She replied a bit confused, not even sure of her own intentions at this point. She'd scoff at the remark about Scylla being different. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“I want her for who she is. Being a bit of a ditz is one of her defining traits, but I'm sure it's not the only thing. So yes, I'd still want her if she'd not be one.”</b></span> She spoke with confidence. <br>
<br>
She wasn't sure what to do about the laughing and the next remarks. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Just Kalina is fine.”</b></span> It was odd to be addressed with 'lady' just now. Was this due to the fact Kalina got recognised by Rosan and Ryke as well in that undead dimension? Wait, if she earned the respect of those two and Velvet served those two, would that mean Velvet by extension was addressing her as 'lady' just then? That was an interesting thought. It almost made her want to push it, but she decided against it. It was better to try to get along instead.<br>
<br>
Scylla's blood flowed into Kalina's cheeks when Velvet suddenly mentioned a sexual act. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“What? No, no, no, of... of course... not... no...”</b></span> She stammered, the freshly drank blood making her blush. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“I just, I meant, I normally, I just don't sleep, normally, due to having fatigue resistance... normally, as an undead.”</b></span> She stammered he reply relatively incoherently. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“But.. I mean, I want to do so now, yes. It might be nice. I meant, yes.”</b></span> She added, for better or worse.<br>
<br>
Somewhat hesitantly, she'd get onto the bed again, trying not to accidentally touch Velvet just to be safe. It really was a pretty neat and soft surface to lay down upon. Some of Velvet's next words went beyond Kalina, both as she didn't understand and was actually starting to drift off. She'd wake up a little more when her hand was put on the horns. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“They're adorable...”</b></span> She uttered again, until she realised the question that preceded it. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“If you're here to protect Scylla, that means you're a friend of mine. An adorable friend of mine with adorable horns and beautiful red eyes...”</b></span> She uttered, before closing her eyes and drifting off... Whatever else Velvet would say would be lost on her.<br>

<b>Iberis Mind Continued:</b><br>
<div style="text-align: center"><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)"><b>???</b></span><br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1674887321393-1-png.1093697/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1030/1030827-a035a6772aad4a31a63a96d7dcb6068d.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1674887321393-1.png" title="1674887321393-1.png" width="100" height="134" loading="lazy"></a>​</div>The figure let out a dark sounding  chuckle at that. <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">"Oh my, you remind me of when they came here, not understanding the extent to which they were getting involved..and just look at where that got them, one very dead sister.."</span><br>
<br>
The undead mutli-armed necromancer didn't seem to move too much, as he kept looking at Shion with his blank undead eyes. <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">"I know much more than you might assume,  Iberis and I are one in the same, her memories are mine..and my memories are hers, I am part of her and she is apart of me, so I know very well what you were looking for here..but what's curious to me is that you aren't from this world, and you have a most peculiar ability.."<br>
<br>
"But that's of no concern to me, I have no reason to withhold the information you were looking for from my apprentice, she already led you to what she needed to know..the curses, they can be cured by healing, but when it's a particularly powerful curse it can require a greater price which can take many forms..as you saw I was able to transfer the curse to a non living object by grafting it. Thankfully you aren't dealing with someone nearly on the same level  of mastery as who I was dealing with so it should be a more straight forward task..just glimpsing into her memories. "<br>
<br>
"I gave her all of this information willingly and it seems she has not been as receptive as I would have hoped. This 'Trauma' you living have to deal with..it really is a bothersome thing isn't it? It's the only explanation as I can think as to why she doesn't have everything yet..but no matter it'll settle and she'll remember..what she needs to when this is all said and done..the rest will come with time."</span><br>
<br>
The figure shifted his arms, and looked less hostile now as he spoke in a more neural but far from friendly tone.<br>
<span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">"Very well then Shion I accept this as a misunderstanding, but I should tell you my memories are not as safe to transverse as hers..I'm certain I'll be seeing you around then."</span> He said almost ominously with a cackle.<br>
<br>
With a figure like this it was difficult to tell how much of an ally they truly were and how self serving their motivations were, were they being honest? There were a whole host of uncertainties indeed.<br>
---<br>
<b>Back to Present: </b><br>
Even so after this the scene began to fade and with a wave of the figures hands suddenly Shion was right back out of the memories and back in the present and Iberis appeared to have become quite tired  as she smiled at Shion replying softly, <span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"I think I have just what I need..Thanks Shion.</span>" As she gestured for Shion to lay down beside her if she wished.<br>
----<br>
<br>
Regardless of what transpired next with Shion and Iberis whether it was dozing off or talking more, it wasn't long before the next morning and Iberis was awoken to yelling and harsh language unfortunately. Causing her to  shoot up straight.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"That doesn't sound too good...wonder if there's some new info." </span>She commented  before she automatically started to get herself dressed once more, between her sash, socks, boots, over coat, hat, and staff  figuring she should probably go and see what was going on, since it sounded like it was close by and there were some familiar voices mixed in with Theron speaking.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"Gonna go see what's up."</span> Knowing very well that it might be something useful for the purpose of their main mission with all the sort of people who were staying there, she was also just curious in general, while also hoping that things weren't going to get out of hand. After heading out of the room Iberis would  head toward the space where she heard the sound coming from. Presuming she wasn't hindered however long it took her to navigate through the building  she'd stop  at the door way and give a bit of a knock before saying, <br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"Everyone alright in there?" </span>Iberis asked with a genuine tone of concern in her voice. She did have her catalyst at the ready on the off chance that she needed it, perhaps out of habit with all the combat zones she'd been in since going on her adventure.</div>

<br>
Velvet looked away, when a confident grin appeared on the vampires lips. Her discomfort was apparent, but she had no choice but to concede this little 'victory' of hers. <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"Whatever you say, vampire."</span> She brushed it off dismissively. Then about the fact that she accepted Scylla for who she was, <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"Really?" </span>She responded with a bit of shock as her voice raised slightly in pitch, but quickly retorted, <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"How.. sad." </span>Then the compliments continued, much to Velvets' bewilderment. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)"><i>Really. What does she see in you, witch.</i></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"><i>Oh nothing.. just that i'm a delicious PEACH of course!</i></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)"><i>Alright. Transform us back. This love stuff is making me sick!</i></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"><i>No way! You still have to meet my friends!</i></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)"><i>F-friends? No, i didn't sign up for, 'friends'.  </i></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"><i>Well, TOO BAD!</i></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: null">Velvet would close her eyes with a sigh. Then look back at Kalina, </span><span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"Looks can be deceiving, i highly suggest you exercise caution with me, and keep those.. <i>words</i> to yourself." </span><span style="color: null">She rolled her eyes, but then shortly after squinted her eyes with a bit of confusion. Her eye's blinking as she then looked away,</span><span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)"> "As you wish."</span><span style="color: null"> She was surprised at the fact that Kalina wanted to be addressed with her name alone, and not referred to by her title. Rosan, made it very clear that Scylla would be sent back to assist her, and this vampire had indeed earned the respect of the king and queen. However, this humility was oddly earning her respect from the demon. She wasn't just a pervy yet innocent fluff cake, no, she was humble, which was a quality she deeply appreciated. Perhaps it was just the nature of the 'spirit of disease' to feel contempt for those who were humble in the face of certain death. </span><br>
<br>
Then the vampire found herself in quite the predicament, much to Velvet's pleasure, provoking a grin from the demon spirit. <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"Is that.. a blush i see?"</span> <span style="color: null">She smiled, however, she didn't want to keep hearing the vampires compliments, and flattery and flat out flirting. So she decided to leave it at that. <br>
<br>
It was after Velvet had made the vampire feel her horns that she once again recoiled. Blinking and looking down. </span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)"><i>This is so weird, i am a living breathing spirit of disease and illness. I am feared, and hated. </i></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"><i>She's gettin' to ya eh? </i></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)"><i>No, its not like that, witch. I suppose being among the living is simply a different way of existing. Being a spirit, no one sees you, you get warded off by magic and influences. </i></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"><i>Well yeah, its just like mana! It's nothing when it courses through me, but when i give it form, people see it, and people are hurt or healed by it. </i></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)"><i>That, oddly makes sense.</i></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"><i>You'll get used to it. Dork!</i></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)"><i>Hmph.</i></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: null">Then Kalina gave a long volley of words of compliments, making her gasp softly, </span><span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"I think you're just tired, Kalina. Go to sleep." </span>Velvet shook her head, getting up and blowing out the candles, then laying back down. As she did so, Kalina's hand was on the bed, hesitating a bit to touch her, she did it anyway pushing her hand closer to the vampire, before laying down herself. She closed her eyes, and peeked at the vampire before discreetly holding her pinky finger and going to sleep. <br>
<br>
---<br>
<br>
Velvet was having a bit of a hard time sleeping, she would keep waking up again and again, however it wasn't because she wasn't tired, her body was resting but she couldn't move. It was as if she was paralyzed. And she'd hear Scylla sleeping in her head, for being quite the chatty witch she slept rather calmly. Occasionally, hearing random little facts, about crushes, magic formulas and.. bunnies? <br>
<br>
At some point in the early morning a bit of a commotion erupted just a few doors down from where she was staying with Kalina. She mentally tugged at Scylla, which woke her up rather quickly. Allowing Velvet to get up. <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"Kalina."</span> Velvet whispered as she shook her a bit to rouse her. It was then that Velvet got up quickly and got herself ready for whatever might happen next. Her staff had become a katana however, among a few other things like her clothes. She opened the door and made her way down the hall. Iberis was already there however, "I wonder what that is all about?" She asked Iberis, <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"Please, stay back, i'll handle this."</span> Velvet would then open the door cautiously, once in the presence of the vampire hunters, her instinct was to reach for her sword, however she wouldn't thanks to Scylla keeping her from doing that. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"><i>Not smart! They're really really tough! </i></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)"><i>So am i.</i></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"><i>We need these people, they're immensely critical, to our mission here.</i></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)"><i>You don't say? Very well, agreed. </i></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: null">Velvet decided to resort to using words instead. </span><span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"Excuse my interruption." </span><span style="color: null">She said as she bowed her head. </span><span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"You have woken me and m-my.."</span><span style="color: null"> she hesitated, </span><span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">".. girlfriend in a room next door. What seems to be the problem here? I pray whatever it is that we could come to a peaceful and calm agreement." </span>It was then that those in the bunk beds would rise, she'd immediately and respectfully bow her head, <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"Please forgive my indiscretion. The concern for danger was too great to simply stand outside your door."</span></div>

Cayde wasn't sure when he had fallen asleep. It hadn't bothered his subconscious mind. Dreams of Ryke filled his sleep: A cozy cabin in the woods, the soft creaking of trees in the wind, the slow lapping of a pond against its pristine banks, an orange cat lying peacefully at his feet, incessant screaming...<br>
<br>
His eyes groggily blinked open. <i>Screaming? </i><b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Wh-uh, what?"</span></b> He murmured, looking around in an awoken stupor. The cabin was gone, and so too were the lovely sounds of nature. But the screaming was still there. And so was the cat? He propped himself on his elbows, staring down at his feet. Not a cat. Kelsey. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Ah, G'morgin Kelpie..."</span> </b>Cayde replied, brain cells still partially asleep, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Whe-When D'you get in here..?" </span></b>Then, with sloth-like efficiency, his head swiveled to the source of the noise. Three halflings stood a few feet away. One of them looked familiar through heavy eyes. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Who-Who're they?"</span> </b>He lazily pointed at Theron, Senna, and Yumi, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Why'se they yellin' so early in the mor-"</span></b>Cayde let the sentence hang as his eyes bounced between Senna and Yumi, progressively getting wider.<br>
<br>
A switch went off in his brain. <i>Those</i> were the vampire hunters they needed to reconcile. And they'd heard everything. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"AH! Sorry, you had to hear that!"</span> </b>He said, quickly slipping out of bed, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Head gets a bit loopy without my morning tea,"</span> </b>He rubbed the tiredness out of his eyes and turned to Senna and Yumi, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Sorry to interrupt, but you two must be the vampire hunters, yeah?"</span> </b>He tried to fix them with his best<b>, </b>non-sleep-deprived smile, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"I'm Cayde, a part of a small team helping with your vampire problem. You'll meet the others soon. They're probably <i>wide</i> awake now." </span></b><br>
<br>
A knock on the door attracted his gaze. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Speak of the devil, here's Iberis and..." </b></span>He looked past Iberis to Velvet standing in front of her. She didn't look familiar. Maybe a concerned patron? She sure sounded like one. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"No, no, you're fine, miss. Just off to a bumpy morning, is all," </b></span>Cayde said, eyes trailing to Iberis next. She seemed a bit on edge. Was it the screaming? Or was it from whoever this woman was? Both? <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"It's alright, Iberis. Nothing's happening just yet." </b></span>He glanced at Velvet and back at Iberis. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"You sleep alright? How'd the night go?" </b></span><br>
<br>
Awaiting her answer, Cayde peered at Senna and Yumi, their argument replaying in his mind. It didn't sound like the average disagreement. <i>Something</i> happened to <i>someone dear, </i>and it hadn't brought them any closer. Likely a big part of the problem, he thought. He'd need to separate them and get their stories individually. That'd make things slightly easier. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Ah, funny thing about Chima," </b></span>Cayde interjected, stepping between the two halfings, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"We went to talk to her a while back, learned a bunch of useful stuff about the vampire," </b></span>He paused to look at them both, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Stuff I think you two might wanna hear about," </b></span><br>
<br>
Cayde rolled his shoulders before folding his arms behind his back, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"But it's early, y'know? My team, if they're not already on the way here, are probably waiting back in the tavern. Why don't we head there?" </b></span>He said, utilizing his <b>[Persuasion - F] </b>and gesturing to the door, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"The walk'll help blow off some steam. Trust me." </b></span></div>

Sophia stretched as she stepped out of her room, not the most happy at the amount of sleep she received, but knowing that it was for a good cause. She rubbed the sleep from her eyes before blinking in the direction of the yelling. She did her best to straighten out her clothes, her hair rather messy and not yet in the braids she normally put it in. A yawn escaped from her lips before the fae glanced at the others, before her eyes fell on Velvet.<br>
<br>
She frowned deeply before glancing past her to Kalina, and then back to Velvet. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Who are you?"</span> The words were a bit harsher than she meant them to be, but the lack of sleep plus surprise mixed together in not the nicest way of speaking. From the corner of her eyes she noticed the halfling exiting Cayde's room, and remembering the reason she stayed up so late, she reached into her bag and began to draw out something wrapped in cloth. She pushed it into the halfling's hands, saying, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Here, this is for you. If you need instructions for putting it on, might be a good idea to wait until we're away from prying eyes."</span> However, after she had finished her contractually obligated action, she turned back to Violet, still expecting an answer.​</div></div>

She was actually surprised when he didn't even attempt to bargain with her to withdraw the memories she'd been looking for. She still didn't trust this being, but he seemed to hold some relationship with Iberis that Shion couldn't quite comprehend. Was it pride, hoping she'll be worth the effort? Curiosity to see if a human would embrace his teachings readily? She was uncertain, most beings like this Shion never trusted to begin with...then again, most of her references had tried to destroy her home world. Then he said something peculiar about the living. Shion scoffed as she looked away from him.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Trauma...yes, it is a cumbersome burden to deal with. Do not ask me why we are built with such a weakness, I do not have the answer. You'd think our resolve would be steeled to prevent recurring catastrophes, but that's not how our minds work. What was lost because of it? What was gained? What led to the inciting incident? There's too many factors to account for to try and prevent it either...I would know."</span> Shion shook her head after she realized what was happening and locked eyes with her converser again.<br>

<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Listen to me, waxing poetic about the nature of existence with a being incapable of empathy. I doubt this topic holds much weight to a being like you." </span><br>
<br>
With this thing agreeing with Shion about their misunderstanding, Shion sighed. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"I have no interest in coming back unless Iberis asks me too. I guess we'll have to see if we encounter one another again in the future."</span><br>
<br>
Once Shion left Iberis' mindscape, she smiled warmly, thankful to be greeted by the mage in the physical realm as the magic faded from her eyes. Her mood dampened a bit as she processed what that figure said to her though.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"To think you...no, we're tired, we can save that conversation for another time."</span> Shion sighed before hearing Iberis' thanks, and she smiled again as the mage gestured her to lay with her.<br>
<br>
As she started to accept the mage's invitation, Shion's eyes began to glow once more and mana began to swirl about the kitsune's body. Shion reacted in shock for only a split moment before realizing what was going on. Her breathing slowed as she sat on her knees and took a meditative pose. Her eyes opened wide as the glow in her eyes expanded beyond her irises and enveloped the sclera as well as she appeared to enter a trance.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"My mana is beginning to adapt more...I can feel my attunement to the weave of this world growing..." </span>She knew Iberis was in the room with her, but her statement didn't seem directed anywhere. Almost as if she was just observing the phenomenon. The magic swirling about her body soon began to wash over her in a calming blue light. As it reached her waist, the magic flared to life as it disappeared behind her before Shion's hands clasped over her heart and her eyes closed, some mana still escaping the edges of her eyelids as she felt the world around her.<br>
<br>
Iberis could hear some kind of stir behind Shion's back, and the kistune slowly began to pull her hands apart from one another. The mage in bed with Shion would then witness as Shion's mana began to take form behind her in a familiar shape, and then Shion clapped her hands together and the magical energy dispersed! The mana slowly faded away, and in its place, two brand new tails became part of Shion, majestically drifting behind her as Shion's eyes opened again, the mana slowly fading from her eyes now. She chuckled.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"It's been so long since I got to experience that, I...forgot what it felt like for a moment. It was different to experience that in my humanoid form for once...and two at once too, hm..."</span> Shion seemed both elated and curious about what had just happened, but it seemed like she had gone through similar in the past.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Well, hopefully that display didn't shoot you wide awake, as it has proceeded to exhaust me."</span> Shion giggled a little. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Let's be off to bed, your questions can wait."</span><br>
<br>
Shion proceeded to shift under the covers with Iberis before pulling the girl close to her, holding her in her arms as she closed her eyes and her tails laying over both of their bodies, Iberis' head resting just above the kitsune's bosom now as she drifted to sleep.<br>
<br>
When morning arrived, Shion was awakened by the escalating commotion going on elsewhere in the tavern. She threw the covers off her and Iberis and just as the mage snapped upright in bed, Shion shot up to standing as she still lacked her claws while taking a protective stance over Iberis. Unfortunately-or fortunately-for the mage this meant her morning greeting from Shion was the back of Shion's lower half was staring at her plain as day, although she could vividly see the converging point for all of Shion's tails now too...and it was impossible to tell if there was a single base and the tails split from it or if each tail was connected individually from vision alone.<br>
<br>
Once Shion listened a bit more and just heard the obnoxious squabbling between two tavern residents, Shion's body relaxed with a sigh.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Not the way I would've preferred to wake up." </span>Shion stated as she hopped off of the bed as she heard Iberis speak and her body half-turned as she looked over at the mage.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Hm? Oh, I'm sorry Iberis, did that wake you too?" </span>She listened to Iberis own inquiry for a moment. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"New info? I can hardly imagine whatever they learned is worth this level of volume." </span>Shion shook her head before reaching out with her hands and grabbing hold of the strands of mana she could pluck from the ether as she proceeded to weave her clothes onto her body once again.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/zzshion-png.1094213/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1031/1031343-7f6ec38fa89485152310dd59cd89c2a0.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="zzShion.png" title="zzShion.png" width="100" height="103" loading="lazy"></a><br>​</div>She then grabbed Iberis's arm as she started to leave. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"I'm coming too, but you have to help me comb my tails later now." </span>She said with a smirk and wink to the mage, taking a look at Shion's tails the bed covers and her protective instincts seemed to leave her fur a bit frizzy.<br>
<br>
Once they arrived at the room, things were certainly immediately interesting. The vampire hunters were in the middle of an argument, Cayde was attempting to defuse the situation as seemed to be the role assigned to him for this mission, the poor guy, and...somebody with Chandra and Sophia that wasn't Scylla. Shion's eyes immediately started to glow as she began to<b> [Mind Link] </b>with Velvet. The connection lasted less than a few seconds, as she heard two voices bickering inside her head, and one of them was <i>definitely</i> Scylla.<br>
<br>
<i><span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)">So there's more to the witch than just spontaneity and magic then.</span></i> Shion then heard Scylla's alternate self refer to Chandra as her girlfriend and Sophia questioned who she was exactly, and it only made Shion's mischievous side smirk with what she was likely about to witness.<br>
<br>
But she figured she should at least say something to help Cayde out.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Let's cool our heads, nothing productive will get done if we start the morning like this. If we're going to work together, maybe we can offer our perspectives and help work this out?" </span></div>

Kalina hadn't heard much of Velvet's replies... up until they both awoke to the same noise in the morning. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Hmmm.... morning?”</b></span> She'd ask, a little out of it. With how often she skipped sleeping, the process of waking up was something she had to get back into. However, at what Velvet said, she laughed. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“As if.”</b></span> Standing back when one of her friends did the work? She'd at least be there in case she needed t to back them up. She'd quickly change back into her other identity.<br>

Then she got ready to follow after Velvet, although she took a bit longer putting on her armour and all that. She arrived a bit after Velvet, having missed her comments and being unsure of what exactly was going on. She only knew that it'd likely be best not to draw too many attention from the vampire hunters, so she remained silent, up until she spotted Sophia. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Good morning.”</b></span> She'd say with a smile, glad to see her again. She'd extend the smile to the others as well, spotting the entire team had somehow gathered here.<br>
<br>
It was getting very 'cosy' in the room with Cayde and the vampire hunters, as the others came wandering in as well. Iberis was the first to walk in, asking if everyone was alright. <br>

<span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“Good morning sunshine~”</b></span> Kelsey was the first to react to her entrance, totally breaking through the tense vibe in the room by making just about everyone glare at her instead.<br>
<br>
She then turned to Cayde, who was still waking up. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“I'm not a kelpie, but for you, I could be one~”</b></span> She'd reply, sticking out her tong like a panting dog. She smiled at his question. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“I got in here when destiny called, of course~ I took your challenge and won it!”</b></span> She laughed at his half-asleep question. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“They're selling little more than a lot of noise right now~”</b></span> She'd reply, earning herself some more glares from the vampire hunters and, believe it or not, something might almost sound like a chuckle coming from Morana. <br>
<br>
Velvet, being the second one in, took Kelsey by surprise. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“Oh my, where did such a pretty girl such as yourself managed to hide all this time?”</b></span> She ended up going with for a good morning. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“Ohoho, your girlfriend, you say? Who's the lucky gal? Would she mind a third?”</b></span> It was clear that the time of day didn't mean much to Kelsey's behaviour. <br>
<br>
She was glad to see Sophia, finally jumping out of Cayde's bed to head over to pick up the hand. <span style="color: #F4A460"><b>“Oh, that's great. Thanks hon~ Let me know when you want to claim more of your reward, hm?”</b></span> She'd reply at a very suggestive tone. With the hand obtained, she was quick to sneak out, so that she could get it on and test it out in private somewhere. <br>

We'll have to talk things through over breakfast.”</b></span> With Cayde's persuasion and Theron's backing, they begrudgingly calmed down enough to agree. <br>
<br>
They were soon seated along a table. It was a bit crowded in the bar, but they each had a chair at least. Morana had stuck near Cayde, Kelsey was off testing her hand somewhere. Theron was strategically placed between his two arguing companions. Methystos had brought them breakfast, some sort of oats with raisins. <br>

The human vampire hunter instantly snapped back. <span style="color: #BC8F8F"><b>“That's a bullshit way to put it and you know it. She's been dead for a little over 10 years now. Her corpse is missing. That must suck, but it's not worth leaving our mission for!”</b></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #4169E1"><b>“It's not her corpse! I keep telling you, it was different. Her soul was banished, but her body wasn't killed! It isn't the same. Some of her might still live!”</b></span><br>
<br>
It looked like Senna might reply again, only louder, but Theron interfered. <span style="color: #A0522D"><b>“For crying out loud, this won't get us anywhere. You're only embarrassing yourselves in front of these people. Let's start at the start right? I'll go first. Good morning, I'm Theron.

<br>
<span style="color: #4169E1"><b>“Yumi. Stealth and hand crossbows.”</b></span> The halfling vampire hunter stated shortly. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: #BC8F8F"><b>“Senna, fastest markswoman in all of Widersia, if not all of the world. I'll get rid of all threats loudly and proudly!”</b></span> She proclaimed, with some pride to it.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #A0522D"><b>“Good, now, you guys can go.”</b></span> He said, nodding at the others. <span style="color: #A0522D"><b>“Ah, also, do add what you learned from Chima.”</b></span></div>

After the conversation between Shion and the figure had concluded Iberis had been curious as to what she wanted to talk about but she was rather tired, though it wouldn't be hard to tell that Shion was probably curious what was up with the guy saying that Iberis was his apprentice all up in her head. Instead Iberis found herself welcoming the warm embrace of the kitsune. Ibers did take notice of the mana related happenings which were occurring with Shion and it was a most curious thing which intrigued Iberis even in her more tired state. Given the fact that Shion was quite tired and Iberis was too she nodded in response, even if the magical spectacle had been rather exciting, <span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"That was..amazing Shion."</span> She said softly with a smile, glad to see that something positive was happening to her ally who had arrived in this world not all that long ago. Despite this fact Iberis felt rather comforted to have someone near her like this, practically embracing her. It was so calming in fact that she didn't even have a night terror nor was she having a difficult time falling asleep, just knowing that Shion was there with her and seemed to genuinely care was enough to ease her nerves.<br>
---<br>
When she had been woken up alarmed this feeling of safety was only reaffirmed when Shion took a defensive stance, something she associated with some of her closer friends like when she and Scylla worked together to protect one another during the entrance exams, this feeling of safety was very much similar to how she felt in this moment after realizing that there wasn't an immediate threat in their room and it was instead loud and outside.<br>
<br>
She nodded when Shion made the comment about them not needing to be as disruptive as they were being over whatever it was given the time of morning.<br>
<br>
Of course the view wasn't something she had been expecting a bit of brief redness with the view, but it quickly turned into one of curiosity as she tried to discern where the tails stopped and started, nevertheless it wasn't all that vital to understand even if it was a curiosity. By the time she was dressed and on her way out and Shion grabbed her, she giggled a bit at that, <span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"Yeah I guess I'll have to huh? Gotta have you looking prim and proper for all the new faces we'll be meeting in this realm together."</span> She said with a smile.<br>
---<br>
By the time Iberis was at the door and presumably Shion wasn't far from her as she followed, Iberis saw Velvet approach, a new face which she wasn't used to, to say the least. She wondered if she was some sort of adventurer, maybe a hunter? Who really knew, there could be just about anyone. She was  rather intrigued with the way that Velvet looked however, from the clothing and general presence, she seemed like the type that Iberis didn't want to mess with.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"I dunno actually I was trying to figure that out." </span>She replied at Velvet's inquiry, but she also relented and stepped aside when Velvet said that she'd handle it, not feeling like arguing on the issue. Iberis only continued to keep her  somewhat guarded look  with the way she held her catalyst.<br>
<br>
 Iberis became slightly less guarded looking, even a bit relieved upon seeing Cayde when he reaffirmed her that nothing problematic was going on<i> yet</i> at least. His thoughts weren't really off as far as to why Iberis looked the way she did, it was from the loud sounds and uncertainties about some of the people around her.<br>
<br>
She smiled a bit meekly in response before replying, "<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">Well that's a relief to hear, I Just wasn't sure what was going on..and y-yeah me and Shion slept great actually, till  whatever just happened in here actually..You?"</span> She responded to Cayde in honesty.<br>
<br>
She then saw Sophia make her way on the Scene and she gave her a small wave and a smile. She was also wondering who Velvet was but didn't have the same confidence  to ask up front just like that. Definitely something that she somewhat envied about Sophia who seemingly had no problems saying what she wanted to say.<br>
<br>
Then there was also 'Chandra' who had made her way in which Iberis was feeling quite a bit better at that point with so many more allies around her, feeling relieved even.<br>
<br>
 All Iberis could really do was hope that the group would be receptive to Shion's words about working things out. <br>
<br>
Right off the bat Kelsey was acting super on brand from what Iberis understood of her, she really wasn't sure what to think there was Sophia's openness and then there was Kelsey who seemed to be very interested in relationships with all kinds of people.<br>
---<br>
Thankfully between Cayde's talking skills  to get things on the move and Theron helping with it, it wasn't long before the group was entering a much more spacious area , Iberis naturally followed along with the group and listened to Yumi's and Senna's back and forth, by that point probably getting her hands on some oats as well, which was a welcome change from the rations that she'd quite literally had as a meal last night. <br>
<br>
Truthfully it wasn't clear who was in the right or wrong with that back and forth, with what she had learned about the undead however she did sort of lean more toward the possibility that even if they'd been missing that long it was possible that they could retrieve their friend in some sort of sentient state, even if Yumi was completely wrong Iberis would certainly be inclined to explore options should it be her friend even with the difficult circumstances.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"Nice to meet you Yumi and Senna, as you may have heard earlier, my name is Iberis, Iberis Odhir, magic user,  and like many of the others here, I'm here to help."</span> She said with a soft smile, figuring a formal introduction was the way to go here. She was intrigued and she was primed to listen  for what they had to say next as their situation sounded..difficult.</div>

A warm smile spread on Cayde's face when Iberis asked about his night, pleasant memories of yesterday replaying in his mind. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Ah, me? I haven't slept that well in weeks,"</span> </b>He said amiably, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Dreamt a lot too..."</span> </b>For a moment, his eyes flicked to Morana. He contemplated saying more. Iberis would've loved to hear about Morana's past. Shion, Scylla, Kalina, and Sophia, too. It could've brought them all together. But just as quickly as the idea arose, it soured in his mind. Not his place to make decisions like that. Not <i>anyone's </i>place to destroy that trust. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Mostly about home,"</span> </b>Cayde said, shrugging flippantly, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Nothing too special. Just something to look forward to, y'know?"</span> </b>He looked between Iberis and Shion, giving both a quick nod, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Just like hearing about whatever you two found."</span></b><br>
<br>
As things settled down and the room cleared, Cayde followed next to Shion. Now would've been a good time to share something. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Got our hands tied up with those three, huh?" </b></span>He whispered, covertly gesturing to the vampire hunters ahead,  <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"I think I might have a clue on what the problem is." </span></b>He looked forward, a theory beginning to form in his mind, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"It sounds like one of em' trying to find closure. But the other's moved on - or at least <i>trying</i> to. And then there's Theron, wanting both of them to stop..." </b></span>His lips pursed in consideration. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"I dunno, can't say much without knowing them better. Let's try finding out where they all stand." </b></span>Cayde stated, resuming his trek downstairs. This wouldn't be easy, he thought. At least Shion was on his side. <br>
<br>
He took a seat near Senna as they regrouped in the tavern. His eyes moved curiously between her and Yumi when they mentioned corpses. That could've had some relevance with the vampire's necromancy. Perhaps it should be brought up. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"A pleasure meeting all of you," </b></span>Cayde said, greeting Yumi, Theron, and Senna with a nod, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"<b>Now, before we start, I'd suggest we try to trade what we know. We're both fighting for the same thing, but there's still so much my team doesn't know. We could use whatever you've got," </b></span>He looked to Theron next, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"With that said, Chima's information came in handy. Not only did we find out where Sverre was, but we learned something pretty big," </span></b>Cayde looked around and lowered his voice. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"This vampire knows necromancy. She'd resurrected the corpses of Sverre's men in the Scrapyard, and we've no doubt she'd use those powers on others, too." </b></span><br>
<br>
Watching them for a reaction, Cayde continued, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Now, I don't want to start any more rumors. But with this in mind, and what you've been saying about this friend... it concerns me." </b></span>He said, voice growing sympathetic, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"So, I'd like to hear more about this person. From all of you. You can tell me in private if it makes you feel more comfortable." </span></b></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><div style="text-align: center"><a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/zzshion-png.1094713/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1031/1031843-7f6ec38fa89485152310dd59cd89c2a0.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="zzShion.png" title="zzShion.png" width="100" height="103" loading="lazy"></a><br>​</div>Hearing Iberis say together had made Shion's ears twitch and her tails swish about with this serene rhythm to them. Before they were out the door, Shion pulled Iberis close and gave her a small kiss on her forehead. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"I'm looking forward to it."</span><br>
<br>
--<br>
<br>
Shion rubbed her temples slightly listening to Kelsey talk. She really didn't need this so early in the morning already. Once she'd run off to test Sophia's gift she sighed and looked to the insectoid human. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"My hero, I hope that takes her a while."</span><br>
<div style="text-align: center">​</div>The kitsune placed a hand on Iberis' shoulder as she became cautious around the demonic stranger. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Calm yourself, she's fine."</span><br>
<br>
Shion smiled at Cayde's inquiry to him and Iberis, and she proceeded to reinforce Iberis' statement. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Yes, we slept wonderfully. It was rather eventful all things considered, but I'm not complaining...not enough to ruin the experience at least."</span> Shion had been soured a little speaking with Iberis' master, whoever that was, but if it helped them achieved what they wanted for now, then Shion was willing to look past it. She desperately wanted to talk with Iberis about him, but this wasn't the time or place to do it.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"As for what I found, Iberis can fill everyone in later once things have calmed down...also means my day's going to be busy working on Sverre later too."</span> Shion had this look of exasperation on her face, but she smiled to hopefully put Cayde and Iberis' minds at ease.<br>
<br>
Shion did take time to look over to Morana as well during the bustle of the room. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"What about you Morana, did you sleep well?"</span><br>
<br>
--<br>
<br>
Once the group managed to be coerced into moving this someplace less cramped, Cayde started to discreetly speak with Shion. One of her ears shifted slightly in his direction as she listened, and she nodded once he was done.<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)"> "Seems like we'll both have our hands full before the day's done."</span> She chuckled a bit as she also responded under her breath to Cayde.<br>
<br>
Once the group was situated for breakfast, it became even more apparent Shion had three times as many tails as she did the night before, as when sitting next to Iberis her tails were slowly flowing in a continuous wave like pattern behind her chair as she happily accepted the breakfast placed before her with a brief <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"thank you"</span> to the tavern owner. There was a refinement to her table manners that suggested she had either been taught or observed humans enough to be more polite, but there were moments that reflected her more bestial nature too as she had no compunctions about picking her plates up to scarf her food down faster once they started getting about under half full. She didn't leave a mess though, once again blending both sides of her while she listened to the introductions of the hunters. She heard Iberis and Cayde give their opening statements and proceeded to follow.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"I'm Shion, a magically attuned telepath." </span>Words she never thought she'd use to describe herself, but it made the most sense with the way her abilities had progressed since she got here. Once Cayde finished sharing a couple things their group had gathered since coming here, Shion folded her arms and legs and looked between the three vampire hunters before her, taking measure of them as best she could. She'd be there to back Cayde up if need be, she was curious what relevance a comrade passing away over ten years ago had in regards to the current job, but she would hold herself back for the moment. She had a feeling it was more personal than that, so she'd wait and see if they could be professional long enough to get through this conversation.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"I'll also be attempting to see what we can do for Sverre once this conversation is over, with Morana's help I may be able to bring back more of his memories which could also help us tackle this threat we're dealing with." </span>Then Cayde brought up this friend of theirs, and Shion decided it best to follow suit. She was happy Cayde didn't want to wait either.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"I agree with Cayde. We were told by Chima your ability to function as a team was practically crippled over something. What relevance does this have to the job at hand, and what reason is there that you can't handle both? In a voice that won't rock the very foundations of this establishment, please."</span></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Velvet had noticed Sophia frowning, maybe glaring at her. She looked at the fae straight in the eyes, meeting her glare.<br>
<br>
<i><span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">Who is that?</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">That’s Sophia, she’s.. well.. Kalinas lover I think.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">What? I thought it was y-</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">It’s complicated. </span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">I can tell.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">Look, that doesn’t matter okay? I really want to impress her so don’t ruin my reputation! </span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">Ugh.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">Velvet!</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">Alright. Fine.</span> </i><br>
<br>
Velvets expression changed as she looked at Sophia going from a slight glare to a sternly look however she was doing her best to soften up. She had barely opened her mouth to speak when the fae addressed the halffling. She saw Sophia give Kelsey something but then Sophias gaze returned, just as deep and fierce as before, feeling defensive the demon spoke up, <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">“Just who do you-“ </span>she closed her eyes and furrowed her brow a bit. Making a fist. It was that tug she felt when Scylla didn’t want her to say something, <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">“Scylla. I am Scylla.”</span> She finally said, <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">“I’ve transformed, you see. Something happened when Kalina bit me, perhaps losing blood brought forth this ability.” </span>Velvet shook her head. <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">“I know you must perceive this as strange, but it’s the truth. You can call me, Velvet. But Scylla is just as acceptable I suppose.”</span> Velvet crossed her arms, <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">“There’s more to it, but this isn’t exactly the best time. Mu.. no.. mmm.. <i>muffin</i>.” </span>Velvet tried resisting but was suddenly appalled at what had escaped her lips at the end, Scylla had a pet name for Sophia it seemed. Velvet closed her eyes with disappointment. Letting out a small sigh.<br>
<br>
When the demoness felt an external force trying to invade her mind. She instantly noticed and moved her eyes over but wouldn’t turn to look at the potential inquirer.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)"><i>Seems like someone here can hear you speak Scylla. I suggest you keep quiet.</i></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"><i>oh! That’s gotta be Shion. She doesn’t like me, but maybe she’ll like you?</i></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)"><i>She doesn’t.. like you.</i></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"><i>yeah, I squeezed her tail and she slapped my face. </i></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)"><i>ha! Serves you right. </i></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"><i>Whatever.</i></span><br>
<br>
—<br>
<br>
When back in the room, and after asking about the commotion, even apologizing for entering without permission, Velvet visibly flinched a bit, blinking a few times as she processed what Kelsey had began to say to<br>

<span style="color: null">She’d look at the lusty Kelsey a bit disgusted with her, before turning to the vampire hunters. They would introduce themselves, they were a lively lot and much to Velvets surprise, were very much a team, one could tell they had a lot of history. She’d step back a little, after figuring out that there wasn’t much danger. <br>
<br>
She’d turn to look at Yumi, “</span><span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">Pray tell about your lost friend.” </span>she was fairly curious about her, she seemed passionate and willing to fight just about anything or anyone to find her friend. Such a passion had it’s uses, perhaps it was the demon in her that wanted to pull the passion out of others. Yet, it wasn’t all malicious intent, she genuinely was curious</div>

Iberis' introduction was greeted with a smile from Senna and a nod of acknowledgement from Theron and Yumi. The first one to react to Cayde's information was Theron himself. <span style="color: #A0522D"><b>“We suspected as much, but thanks for confirming it. I guess we can add ridding the Scrapyard of zombies to our list...”</b></span> He grunted, clearly not excited about the prospect. <span style="color: #A0522D"><b>“With that confirmed, the rumours that some corpses have gone missing from the morgue are even more concerning. She'll likely have her own undead guards as well.”</b></span><br>

<span style="color: #BC8F8F"><b>“Yes, something that you should SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT already. It was ten years ago and has nothing to do with our current mission. If you want to go investigate, do it after we've done our jobs here and stop threatening to leave us hang. You're a professional, aren't you?”</b></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #4169E1"><b>“That's easy talking, you never even knew her! You've got NO CLUE what it's like! Nothing! You're just a...”</b></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #A0522D"><b>“Halt!”</b></span> Theron shouted, forcing them to stop before it could escalate all over again. <span style="color: #A0522D"><b>“She used to work with us long ago. We might not look like it due to our Fae-blood, but me and Yumi have been doing this job for a really long time. She's been with us for most of it. She joined me just a year after I started, being a Lune Elf, she got mistaken for a Vampire due to being so pale, I got sent to kill her and somehow ended up recruiting her instead. She was a fine Vampire Hunter, one of the best. She saved Yumi's life and taught her all she knows, the typical stuff. However... she got infected trying to protect someone. She eventually volunteered to have us seal her soul away, so that we could keep her body in a magically induced coma until we'd find a way to cure her. We've gotten a lot of ideas on how to cure a vampire, but nothing concrete. However, whilst we were on this way here for the mission, we heard her corpse had gone missing as much as 10 years ago, with the priest having been told to watch over her having covered it up all this time.”</b></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #4169E1"><b>“And so I suggested we go look for her!”</b></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #BC8F8F"><b>“After which I said we should stick with the bloody mission! It's been TEN FUCKING YEARS! She's gone. You're not gonna find her!”</b></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #4169E1"><b>“You don't know that! I...”</b></span><br>
<br>
Theron glared at them, which was enough to bring them to silence once more. <span style="color: #A0522D"><b>“Well, that's our dilemma. It is unlike it has anything to do with our current target, but it's a distraction regardless.”</b></span> He sighed. <span style="color: #A0522D"><b>“I'll admit, even I can't keep wondering what in the world could've happened to her.”</b></span> Having finished his food, he picked out a cigar and lit it. He spoke again after a deep huff of smoke. <span style="color: #A0522D"><b>“Anyhow, you offered some information. From what little we did find out, the vampire would have some type of undead guards. Meanwhile, the thrall uses some sort of metal weapon, a very sharp one that makes large amounts of cuts that go through skin and bone with ease. The bodies that thrall left in its wake were gruesome and mangled beyond recognition, as if to sent a warning. The thrall might be even more dangerous than the vampire. I'm afraid that's about all we were able to confirm thus far.”</b></span> He figured Shion's question was answered in the process of all of this.<br>

<span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“I'm Morana.

<br>
As for Shion's question. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“Yes, mister Cayde's medicine helped a lot.”</b></span> She replied, briefly and shortly, but the fact she bothered to reply probably meant a lot in its own right. <br>

She'd shot Velvet a glare, upon her mentioning their act of drinking blood. Not because she didn't want Sophia to know, but because talking about such topics was dangerous when there were literal Vampire Hunters in the building that were up and about. You never knew who might hear them and who might be nearby, so such topics were best avoided for now.<br>
<br>
When she eventually joined the others for breakfast, she'd also shortly introduce herself. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“I'm Chandra Jarmil, a humble adventurer from Ryke.”</b></span> She'd introduced herself (Deception D) after the others had done so. <br>
<br>
However, as the vampire hunters were talking, she grew more and more silent. Subconsciously fading a bit into the background [Stealth E]. If what they were saying was correct... this might be bad. Or was she just overthinking this? How big was the chance... yet some details lined up too well... This was not at all what she was prepared for.</div>

Cayde's brows furrowed as he listened to Theron's description of the woman. A knot started to form in his stomach, memories of the day before flashing in his vision. The thrall swept into view. Pale skin. A curse equal parts vampirism and necromancy. An <i>infection. </i>The knot growing bigger, Cayde shifted in his seat. Corpses were going missing. The vampire resurrects the dead. The body of one of the hunters disappeared. Too much lined up. <b><i><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Damn it,"</span> </i></b>He thought, eyes falling to the counter, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"</span><i><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">And they don't even have a clue..." </span></i></b>After a brief moment, Cayde looked up at Yumi and Senna. His lips felt tight. What could he say now? Should he even <i>mention</i> the idea?<br>
<br>
No, Cayde thought. They'd need to hear it, but not yet. This gap needed to be closed. They needed to come together. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"It's a shame to hear about what happened. But know that neither of you is in the wrong."</span> </b>Relaxing his posture, he looked to Senna first, <b>"<span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">You're moving on, I can tell. And you want Yumi to move on so you can finish this together. That's great."</span> </b>Cayde said, tapping the counter, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"But corpses have gone missing. Your friend's body is gone. And we know this vampire utilizes necromancy. I don't know how long they've been plaguing this city, but if <i>any</i> body has gone missing, that might be another servant for the vampire."</span> </b>He nodded, eyes not moving an inch, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"That's another facet of this mission. So, investigating this <i>would</i> benefit you. If not, help Yumi finally move on." </span></b><br>
<br>
Cayde looked to Yumi next, his eyes softening a bit. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"And you want closure. You <i>want</i> to get over it, but you need answers. And you feel like Senna needs to be helping you get them."</span> </b>Folding his hands, he leaned back, peering at them, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"She can if you two work together on stopping all this. If your friend's disappearance is entangled with this vampire, taking care of them <i>will</i> give you answers."</span> </b>He stated before crossing his arms. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Both of you want the same thing, and you can <i>have it</i>. But the more you scream and shout, the farther you'll go. You've been working with each other for some time, I reckon. You <i>know</i> you can navigate through this together."</span></b><br>
<br>
With a small sigh escaping him, Cayde finally turned to Theron. Info-exchange. He'd almost forgotten. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"We'll keep that in mind. But on the topic of the thrall, we've learned a lot about her, too,"</span> </b>Once more, he looked around and lowered his voice. Better safe than sorry. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"From Chima's information, the thrall <i>only </i>goes after folk who try to stop her master's wishes. Otherwise, she lets them go. So, with that in mind, we managed to disguise ourselves as 'recruits' and actually got something out of her,"</span> </b>He explained, tapping the counter again. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"We didn't get much about where her master is, but we know our thrall doesn't <i>want</i> to do all this. She seemed hesitant. Maybe a bit regretful. Kinda like she was <i>forced</i> to act like this."  </span></b><br>
<br>
Nodding to himself, Cayde continued, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"We could've tried fighting her right there, but she's the only person in this city who knows <i>exactly</i> where the vampire is. So, we thought maybe we should try 'freeing' her," </b></span>He gestured to Iberis and looked around for Scylla. How come she still wasn't in here? <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"A curse binds her. We're thinking of weakening it with healing and transferring it to something else. But I wanna know if that's possible or if there's anything else we could try." </b></span></div>

 <br>
Iberis Smiled and her face lit up a bit at the gesture of affection Shion gave toward her, she certainly had been treated much more affectionately after meeting her group of allies who she'd bonded with overall.<br>
---<br>
Iberis looked to Shion and had given her a bit of a small nod when she told her to calm herself and that she was 'fine' even so It was Iberis's natural inclination to be skeptical of new comers particularly after what happened with Renee and in that realm they had been betrayed and all hadn't been what it seemed, who was to say that something couldn't happen again? Iberis tried not to dwell that much on that sort of thing, even so she simply wasn't sure if she could handle being deceived in such a way by someone who she deeply genuinely cared for. <br>
It was good to have Shion there to further articulate that they had found out other information, Iberis might have done such herself if she hadn't felt so uncomfortable to start with this interaction with the new comers.<br>
---<br>
Shion asked a valid question which should help things a long.<br>
At least it was reassuring  that her introduction had been well taken by the smiles she received, at least she assumed that was the case based on the body language she saw. Trying her best as well to use her table manners for the time being while she dined on the nutritious mix.  The simple but fresh food combination was much better than any emergency ration which she had experienced having.<br>
<br>
The tougher language from Senna still felt a bit jarring for Iberis even on the street with rough people talking, she hadn't really been in an environment like that in quite some time since her company was relatively tame in their language. If it was dangerous to check she supposed she could understand some of Senna's point, but even then she still swayed toward Yumi's point when it was further broken down. <br>
<br>
Cayde gave a balanced explanation of the sides which Iberis felt was accurate, technically neither of them were in the wrong, but Iberis still had her inclinations and sense of what was the right thing to do.<br>
<br>
After Cayde gestured to her, Iberis also took notice, wondering where Scylla was? She would probably show up soon enough.<br>
 <br>
She looked to Yumi and Senna, as well as Theron.<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)"> "I can corroborate that the thrall was not acting willingly she was actually rather repulsed by the act that I put on, the curse has bound her to do the bidding against her will is what I got a sense of, I also agree with Cayde given the context of what's been going on that it would help all of you to investigate."</span><br>
<br>
She then looked to Cayde.  <br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"After Shion investigated my memories I've come to the conclusion that with powerful enough counter magic involving healing, it should be perfectly possible to lift a curse. Of course I'm not certain just how powerful this curse is, but it also seemed possible to move the curse from a living person and imbue it into another living thing or perhaps even object. What I also saw in the memory was that to give the counter  curse healing magic some extra power, Auldlich converted the life force of a potent being to not only counter it but extract and put into a bone. Of course that was a very powerful curse and he even said himself that any additional power sources being needed are dependent on the severity of the curse..it does make me wonder if you could supplement other types of energy to help boost the cleansing power, since it's perfectly possible that he did it because it was his style of magic and in his capabilities rather than the source he used being a necessity..."</span> Iberis trailed off for a moment speaking as if she was in a classroom at the academy toward the end like in a theory class.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"Anyway that's what Shion and me found out as far as that goes."</span> She concluded to Cayde and the group, figuring it was good to get the information out in the open for the group.</div>

<span style="color: null">Velvet followed after the others, soon the smell of breakfast wafted about the place. Much to Velvets delight she made her way over,</span><span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)"> “My oh my..” </span><span style="color: null">she said as she peeked into the kitchen area.</span><span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)"> “..I want that plate there.”</span><span style="color: null"> She muttered looking at a particular green soup. Going up to the counter she requested that exact dish, to which she’d pull out a few copper rykes and plate them in the servers hand. She attempted a smile but it came out more like a little smirk. She’d make her way to the table the others were sitting at soon after requesting her meal. An indifferent expression upon her features as she sat next to Cayde. </span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">“Looking for someone?” </span><span style="color: null">She asked the plague doctor with a tilt of her head, the demon would then lean in a bit closer. </span><span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">“If you’re looking for the witch, don’t be troubled, I’d have you know that we have brought forth a boon bestowed some time ago.”</span><span style="color: null"> The waiter would bring her soup, Velvet wouldn’t flinch however, </span><span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">“Furthermore, Scylla has relinquished principal leadership to you in her stead. My duty is to keep the witch safe, even if it means protecting her from herself.” </span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: null">After that the demon began in her meal, </span><span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">“Nettle soup.. hells, who could resist?” </span><span style="color: null">She smiled slightly before taking a spoon and sipping on the green liquid before biting a piece of toast. <br>
<br>
When Chandra appeared, she’d keep eating, however wondering if she should introduce herself as well, before truly embarrassing herself further and nearly sabotaging the entire mission! She then suddenly lifted her head. </span><span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">“I suppose it’s no secret I’m a stranger here.” </span><span style="color: null">She got up and bowed her head, “</span><span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">My name is Velvet, servant of the 12th legion. I most humbly beg pardon on behalf of Scylla, for she will be forfeiting her voted leadership duties. However, it is my understanding that she’s bound to a certain construct by the name of..”</span><span style="color: null"> she shook her head a bit as she paused to think. </span><span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">“..Mr.S.. right.. I shall continue to serve that contract until it’s end.” </span><span style="color: null">Velvet signed a bit, then bowed her head deeply, </span><span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">“It’s a pleasure meeting you all.”</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: null">She’d then sit back down and continued eating. Once finished she’d catch the waiters attention, then ordering a few more plates, and continue feasting. She had quite the appetite for someone so petite. <br>
She’d then mutter shortly after taking a gulp of the meal before her the Scylla in her didn’t want to contribute to the plans being brainstormed, however Velvet couldn’t resist, </span><span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">“Perhaps we should leave things as they are, fulfil our end of the bargain to meet. If these vampire hunters are as good as they claim, then perhaps they have the means to track anyone of us after meeting with the Thrall..”</span><span style="color: null"> She took a sip of her tea. </span><span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">“..then at the time, they could make their grand entrance and do what they do best.”</span><span style="color: null"> She closed her eyes,</span><span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)"> “If this plans goes against anyone’s interests, please, don’t be afraid to turn it down. I’m no leader, much less a strategist. However, I’m certainly a great asset. I shall not fail you.”</span> <br>
<br>
She looked at everyone, confident and determined, then dismissed the thoughts in her mind and returned to her meal once again. She just, couldn’t stop eating, she was either famished or was over indulging in the fact she had incarnated through the transformation. <br>

<span style="color: #A0522D"><b>“Let me stop your right there, mister Alchemist.”</b></span> He said, when Cayde mentioned the body gone missing directly after the vampire's necromancy. <span style="color: #A0522D"><b>“We've debated the option that this vampire might be toying with us, sure, but we left her body all the way back in the northern parts Ryke. The vampire would've somehow needed to travel through-out a large chunk of Ryke and then through the entire See and a chunk of Widersia with her in tow. It's not impossible, but extremely unlikely.”</b></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #4169E1"><b>“Which is why we should head for Ryke. Leave this all behind and go check what happened to <i>our friend</i>! These folk are here now, let them handle the vampire!”</b></span> Yumi answered. <span style="color: #4169E1"><b>“Yes, I want answers! No, I don't need Senna to help me! She can go fuck off! I want Theron to join me. He's the one I need, but Senna keeps convincing him we can't just abandon the mission here!”</b></span> The fact Cayde mentioned her wanting answers was spot-on, as it really fired her up.<br>
<br>
Theron held up his hand. <span style="color: #A0522D"><b>“Hold up a second.”</b></span> He was getting a sense that Cayde knew more, so he gestured for Cayde to speak before his companions could yet again start arguing. <span style="color: #A0522D"><b>“Hmm. Sounds like the vampire's made the thrall out of someone unwilling. A pity.”</b></span> Surprisingly enough, he wasn't all that shocked at all. <span style="color: #A0522D"><b>“I think you're hinting at something impossible.”</b></span> He sighed out a deep breath of cigar smoke. <span style="color: #A0522D"><b>“Our friend had already turned into a vampire when we sealed her soul. All our research suggests vampires can be turned into dhampirs, a stronger type of half-monster, but nothing suggests they can be made into a thrall, its weaker version. The reason we're stuck here is that Senna believes we should deal with our mission first, the vampire and her thrall, whilst Yumi believes we need to investigate what happened with our friend first. I must admit, I'm not sure what to go with.”</b></span><br>
<br>
Senna suddenly had an idea. <span style="color: #BC8F8F"><b>“If what Cayde says is true, we could try curing that Thrall. Right? We kill the vampire, try to cure the thrall, use what we learned from it on that friend of yours, if we find her again?”</b></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #4169E1"><b>“IF we find her again. It's already been years, what if there's no more traces left to find her?”</b></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #BC8F8F"><b>“EXACTLY! It's been years, there won't be any traces left. You're a fool to want to go back to Ryke just to confirm what we already know.”</b></span> She snapped again...<br>
<br>
Theron sighed, turning to Cayde, Iberis and Velvet. <span style="color: #A0522D"><b>“Alright. I agree. I'd like to see what you have in mind for this thrall . You're right, if it works, it might teach us some new options should we find out what happened to our friend later. I'd also not wish to abandon the mission.”</b></span><br>
<br>
Yumi shot him a glare, clearly not liking this outcome. <span style="color: #4169E1"><b>“Who or what the hell is this Audlich you're talking about? It sounds like you've been involved in some shady business.”</b></span> She sneered at Iberis, not liking how keenly this girl spoke about curses and dark magic.<br>
<br>
Velvet's introduction raised some questions as well, although this time, it was Senna who asked them. <span style="color: #BC8F8F"><b>“The 12th legion? Of what army.. and who's Scylla?”</b></span><br>
<br>
Theron scoffed at her remark. <span style="color: #A0522D"><b>“I'm not too foolish to admit it. We're only as good as we are when working as a team. Not when we're in a mess like this. I'd say it's best we try working together for now...”</b></span><br>

The question had been on the tip of her tongue all this time. It was such a simple question, yet she didn't dare ask it. After all, the answer could be impactful... heavily so. Perhaps this was why the hag had sent her to these people. It was a hag, after all, they always knew more than they admitted too. It started to add up more and more. Yet... how to even say this? Should she say this? No... She felt conflicted, not sure of what to do and unable to discuss it with anyone. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“I'm sorry, my stomach hurts, I've got to be off...”</b></span> She stated (Deception D) as she hurried out the building to a nearby alley. Taking deep breaths of the smoke-filled air, which wasn't exactly soothing. What the hell had she gotten everyone into? They weren't as deceptive as her, so could she event tell them? Well, she'd have to tell the hunters at one point, but... Ugh. She grabbed her head. Echo's of Renee's voice, telling her to stop making this so difficult. She tried driving them out. She wasn't succeeding.</div>

(Blue = Common, Orange = Beastial)<br>​</div>Shion sat and listened to the conversation going around the table, and her anger started building inside of her every time Yumi opened her mouth. Cayde was being reasonable, Theron was being reasonable, Senna was being realistic, but Yumi...wasn't. Yumi was stuck in the past, self-centered, inconsiderate, unable to listen...and then she questioned Iberis' information they had gathered. She snarled as daggers formed in her eyes. <span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)"><i>Disgusting filth...I'd rend you to pieces right now if...if...</i></span>Shion looked beside herself at Iberis for a moment. It was obvious making eye contact for just a moment, Shion's eyes spelled out everything, Iberis didn't need the magical imagery in her head to know what was going through Shion's mind. Fury, pure and intense, it reflected her emotions when she spoke of killing those humans before in the streets of Widersia. However, looking at the mage slowly brought the hatred out of Shion's eyes, and her breathing slowed. Shion reached for Iberis' hand under the table, and she managed a calming sigh as her hand shook inside of Iberis' own.<br>
<br>
She closed her eyes a moment, inhaling deeply before exhaling one more time, her eyes opening again and greeting Iberis with the calm, cooler amber the mage was used to. She finally looked back at the hunters.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/zzshion-png.1095223/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1032/1032353-7f6ec38fa89485152310dd59cd89c2a0.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="zzShion.png" title="zzShion.png" width="100" height="103" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"How easily you turn on your allies the moment it inconveniences you. Even when they literally just found a middle ground you agreed with." </span>Shion stated clearly and cleanly to Yumi. She shook her head.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"You treat Senna like she means nothing to you, and you clearly can't see how much that hurts her. The moment Theron puts forth some kind of action you lash out at the people offering to help <i>even after pointing out yourself that your friend may not be there</i>, and what's worse, you just looked at the woman who has information deeply relevant to your cause and interrogate her like she's an adversary." </span>Shion scoffed.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Senna and Theron want to do this mission because there's a possibility they will gain information to help <i>you,</i> Yumi. I'm sure the reward will be nice too, but that doesn't change that they both just heard everything we had to say, and decided it'd be worth sticking around so they can help you. What's more..."</span> Shion looked at Theron recently before back at Yumi.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"It sounds like it's quite a trek to reach where you left your friend, what's taking a day or two to get this job done right and satisfy everyone? If you guys are as good as we've been told, if we can all work together this will be done before there's anything else worth arguing over." </span>Shion heard Senna question Velvet afterwards and she couldn't help but sigh. She pinched the bridge of her nose in frustration with her free hand.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)">"Holy shit, if it's not each other you sure can't trust others it sounds like."</span> She was so agitated trying to hold herself back she didn't realize she spoke in a different tongue again.<br>
<br>
Before she could say anything else, she heard Chandra say she wasn't feeling well. While she believed her a little, she knew Chandra had a streak of lies or half-truths to keep her identity safe. Knowing she was a vampire amidst the vampire hunters, She wondered if there was more to what she said than that. She squeezed Iberis' hand gently and made eye contact with her a moment and shifted her head a little in the direction Chandra left. She hoped that conveyed her concern enough, but she didn't exactly think leaving this table right now was the right call before looking over to Morana.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"I've said my piece. Morana, shall we try to deal with Sverre now so we can be ready to go once our course of action is decided?"</span></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Velvet figured her introduction would be enough to sate the curiosity, unfortunately it wasn’t and well, the demoness was quite annoyed that she had to explain her origins to complete strangers. She would look at Senna and then back at her plate as she closed her eyes with a defeated sigh. “Did you really have to ask?” She muttered.<br>
<br>
Suddenly Velvet started glowing purple, and with a flash and a few sparkling stars the familiar witch appeared in Velvets stead.<br>
<br>
“Heeeello!! And good morning to everyone!!”<br>
The witch said happily with the brightest smile. Her hands under her chin as she fluttered her eyelashes, “About that 12th legion business, please pay my other half no mind. We’re <i>just </i>getting used to eachother.” She giggled a bit. “So, Senna was it?” She said looking at Senna then extending her hand out towards her. “The name’s Scylla! How do you do, sister!” After that bit, she looked at the others waving at them with twiddling fingers and then finally at Theron. She’d chuckle nervously, “Heh, so no hard feeling about bumping heads together right?” She was bashful for a moment before coming back to the mission before them.<br>
<br>
“Right. So, Velvet ‘a.k.a’ me, figures it would be ideal to go ahead and fulfill our end of the meeting. That way we don’t risk the Thrall escaping and never seeing us again..” she’d bite her tongue about the exact details, considering one among them being the vampire managed to convince such a thing. “..now, what remains would be simply luck and a degree of perfect timing. Considering things could go bad quickly and we’d all be dead before we know it, or too soon and risk never meeting the vampire!” She’d scratch her head a bit thinking out loud, aloofly, “However, maybe capturing the Thrall would yield us similar results, from what I could see, the Thrall shared some sort of telepathic connection, but.. I have reason to believe that the contraption around her head is more than a crown, perhaps it’s a prison at best.. or a thought away from demise should she do or say the wrong thing.” <br>
<br>
Turning to Yumi, she giggled, “Oh dear, so passionate, so angry, why you almost remind me of..” she glanced at Shion then getting very upset, “..Shion..” she muttered intimidated as her hand reached up to her own cheek. However she couldn’t help but agree with the Fox lady, “Yes, I must agree with the ‘foxeh’ bickering among your friends from the ills of the past serve no purpose in the present other than get everyone worked up and equally upset. However, if it serves as any comfort I-“ she bit her tongue again, “Ow.. “ she gasped under her breath. “..well, I’m sure we could likely get some answers from this vampire if we do well. But to the matter at hand, dear.” She couldn’t help but smile at the halffling, she was clearly so distraught, however she had no intention to bond with her as much as Velvet did. Demons were drawn to emotional pain.</div>

After Iberis' explanation, Cayde scratched his chin, eyes bouncing around the room. Healing and transferring <i>could </i>work, but there'd need to be another source in play to ensure it would. He peered down at the glittering rings on his hand. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"How about we use magic?"</span> </b>He suggested, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"That's a form of energy, yeah? And most of us can use it."</span> </b>As he said that, a faint memory of Vegard glimpsed by. It took a whole mana pool to free a divine being from its curse. Perhaps a vampire's thrall would need less. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"We've just gotta channel it into Scylla while she's doing the deed. It just might be enough,"</span> </b>For a moment, he peered around the room. That horned woman was back again. Scylla was still nowhere to be seen. It may be time to start asking.<br>
<br>
He figured to start with Velvet, but all the words disappeared when she began claiming things. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"What? When did this..."</span> </b>He paused, looking her up and down. Scylla had altar egos now? How did <i>this</i> happen overnight? Before he could say more, Cayde watched as Velvet formally introduced herself. His shoulders sunk a bit. She didn't look like Scylla. Didn't talk like her either. But at least she was on the right side. She could be trusted. Good enough. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Uh, Welcome to the team, Velvet?"</span> </b>He said, slightly shrug of his shoulders, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Guess I'm leading now..."</span> </b>That was easy, he thought. No talk was necessary. That made his shoulders sink a little bit more. <br>
<br>
It didn't last long, Cayde immediately tensing up as another back and forth started. As Shion said her piece, his eyes widened a bit, looking between her and Yumi. He'd never seen this side of Shion before. The tension in the air felt like needles pricking his skin. Something had to be said. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Look, Yumi, I understand where you're coming from, but you should at least <i>try </i>to give this a chance,"</span> </b>He gestured to Theron and Senna, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"You never know. You could learn something <i>big</i> here. Something that might help get those answers quicker,"</span> </b>Straightening his posture, Cayde looked to Senna, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"And I don't want you to make this any harder for her, please. We can focus on the mission. Put this aside for now, or it'll never get better."</span></b><br>
<br>
Before he could refocus on Theron, something flashed in his peripherals. The voice was immediately recognizable. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Wha- Scylla? Where the heck did you go?"</span></b> With an utterly perplexed look, he turned to see her, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"You're telling me you could've <i>always</i> turned into a creepy..."</span> </b>His eyes moved past her back onto Theron. Right, the mission. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Sorry about that. Vel-<i>Scylla's </i>right. We're planning on meeting the thrall again. Same scenario as last time. But above all else, we'll try getting clues on her master's location first. If she leads us there, we'll find a way to get you on our trail,"</span> </b>Cayde explained, looking to Kalina for her input. His mouth went agape for a second when she'd upped and left. Maybe this was a part of her act? <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Uh, alright, be safe, Chandra..."</span> </b>He said, glancing at Sophia and Scylla. They'd been the closest to her recently. They may have had a clue.<br>
<br>
Clearing his throat, he continued, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"If anything goes wrong, we'll try our other plan. Attempt to weaken and transfer the curse with healing plus our supplemented mana. Even if that doesn't fully cure the thrall, hopefully, she'll be weak enough for capture. We'll send Kelsey to alert you and Morana for backup afterward. Maybe Sverre, if he's got it together."</span> </b>Then, he held up two fingers, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Two things though. We'll need something to transfer the curse into. And we're gonna need to approach the thrall alone. She'll know you're coming and then <i>poof</i>, gone." </span></b><br>
<br>
Finally, he stuck a thumb at both Scylla and Iberis. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"And don't worry about these two. They're from Ryken's academy," </b></span>He explained, hoping to ease some suspicion with <b>[Persuasion - F] </b>and <b>[Deception - F], <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"They teach all kinds of <i>weird </i>stuff up there. But they're good people. Wouldn't be here if they weren't." </span></b></div>

First this Velvet person joined them, and then she raised a many more questions for Iberis as to where Scylla was since she seemed to know her somehow. Thankfully it wouldn't be too long before that information was actually answered for Iberis. Iberis didn't have much to think on the slight back and forth between Senna and Yumi yet again since it was the same old sort of comments they had been making back and forth since being in the rooms. Theron on the other hand raised some genuine logistical considerations..was it possible that the vampire was trying to make stronger variations as allies?<br>
Senna did say something sensible next, yes that was very much true they could try curing the thrall.<br>
<br>
Then there was Yumi who was apparently difficult to work with if this was her reaction to what Iberis had to say not a 'oh thanks for sharing what you know!' or anything like that near immediate hostility. Before Iberis could properly respond in her typical collected way, Shion jumped into the fray and verbally backed Iberis up, she did take notice of that look Shion had and it did concern her briefly as the expression on Iberis's face shifted to one of a bit of worry. Thankfully Shion was able to calm down and restrain herself instead of lashing out violently, but using genuine harsh words which hopefully would get through to someone here even if there were probably nicer ways to go about this. She felt a bit better when Shion held her hand and seemed to become a bit calmer even if still frustrated toward the later part of what she had to say.<br>
<br>
She felt a bit better with the hand squeeze she got from Shion as she looked back with a small smile and gave a gentle squeeze back in confirmation that things were good on her end of things.<br>
<br>
Iberis then thought she ought to reply to Yumi after Cayde spoke. Cayde Yet again was doing great things to try to keep the peace between the conflicted group, yes<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"Indeed in magic academia there's plenty we learn about. How to counter dark magic of all things is a very practical application. If you're bothered by my methods, there isn't much I can do there other than assure you I am certainly not up to anything  "shady" I am here to help just like I said at the start, this just happens to be an area which one of my..teachers, named Auldich just happens to know quite well about."</span> She stated plainly, putting it lightly, but it technically wasn't a lie.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"With all of that said, I think that Cayde is on the right track and a high enough quantity of magic would probably suffice if the curse is strong enough to require the supplementary energy. Weaken and transfer if it isn't complete is an ideal alternative which should be possible with our group's skillset."</span> She further added in.<br>
<br>
At the next part Iberis was a bit bewildered at the sudden shift, but Scylla herself just said that Velvet was apparently part of her...could this have anything to do with why Scylla had been such a different person at the academy entrance practical exam? This personalty was certainly closer to the cooler and colder type she had met there even if there was still a difference..or maybe there was a third person within, Iberis couldn't really judge all too much having Auldlich within her, either way she said,<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"Glad to have you back, and it was nice meeting Velvet."</span> She said with a smile to Scylla, accepting it for what it was. She wasn't sure what to make of the Shion comment other than the fact that Scylla clearly still wasn't pleased she had been slapped, but otherwise she provided some insight that contributed to the conversation.<br>
Iberis was also left a bit confused herself as to Why Kalina had up and went off, she was sure she had her reasons, but it didn't make it  any less curious to her, if it became an issue she or someone else could go see what was up.</div>

Sophia watched the argument with interest, noting that they had much more riding on this mission than just their titles as vampire hunters. However, her attention was quickly bounced around, forcing her to realize that Velvet had split personality disorder and shared a body with the bubbly witch she had already grown to know, and after that was a change of focus to Kalina as she said she felt sick and dashed out. Deciding there was one of those that was more important than the others, she didn't even give an explanation as she followed.<br>
<br>
As she quickly entered the alley, her eyes fell upon her friend, head in hands, and the fae rushed forward. Her arms wrapped around Kalina as she hugged the girl to her. She kept the grip for a few moments, not loosening up for a second, before saying, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"What's wrong, Kalina?"</span> When she had come out here, she wasn't sure if something was wrong, but she had thought better safe than sorry, and she had been right on the money. This place was not good for her love, and she would make sure Kalina would never have to come back here again if it was putting her in such a bad state.​</div></div>

Shion wasn't the only one getting emotional. Yumi's fingers had started digging deeper and deeper into her palms, until she'd drawn some blood. <span style="color: #4169E1"><b>“Do you even know what it's like?”</b></span> The shouted, first in anger, but then her voice breaking as tears formed in the corners of her eyes. <span style="color: #4169E1"><b>“She meant everything to me, taught me all I knew, helped me survive, find a purpose in life, a reason to keep living... Then we had to watch her get bitten, to watch her change into the very creatures we hunted, with nothing we could do for her until she herself told us to seal her soul away, leaving her a lifeless husk... I've been hoping to find any trace to cure her ever since, for all these years, yet we only found snippets... yet now, now we learn even her body is taken from us...”</b></span> The tears were now flooding freely. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: #4169E1"><b>“Senna... Senna doesn't know that pain. Theron's too strong to let it guide him. I... I'm not like that. I can't just pretend like I'm not wanting to rush to find out what happened to my closest friend. I've stayed here because they wanted, but every fiber of me screams to go there, to do whatever it takes to find out what happened... would you do the same if the one most precious to you was taken from you?”</b></span> She looked at Shion, teary-eyed yet full of anger.<br>
<br>
However, after a few deep breaths, she finally calmed down some. Perhaps Scylla's words actually helped her a bit as well. <span style="color: #4169E1"><b>“Fine. With you guys, it might indeed be wrapped up quickly. I'll give it three days at most. You'll have my full support, but after that, I'm leaving, with or without Theron and Senna.”</b></span> However, she did turn towards Scylla and Cayde in particular. <span style="color: #4169E1"><b>“It's not just the past though. Her body is still out there and I still think we could, one day, save her. Even if it takes another 10 years or another 20 or 30. If this thrall can help us find ways to do so... that would indeed be good, even though I still doubt it. As Theron said, thralls and vampires are fundamentally different beings.”</b></span> She stated firmly, but a bit disappointed at the end.<br>

<br>
<span style="color: #BC8F8F"><b>“I'll only need one.”</b></span> She joked, trying to lighten the mood a bit, but being unsuccessfully. With a smile, she then turned to Shion. <span style="color: #BC8F8F"><b>“&lt;We're in the most back-stabbing business in the world, trust tends to get you killed when fighting monsters known to disguise themselves and infiltrate~&gt;”</b></span> Oddly enough, Senna didn't seem aware of how spot-on she was with that relatively generic statement, as she mostly just seemed to want to brag about her knowledge of Beastial.<br>
<br>
All three vampire hunters looked at Velvet turning into Scylla with clear suspicion. Those were normally the type of tricks monsters might be up too. However, they didn't seem to find concrete enough reasons to attack, instead they relaxed again after seemingly confirming something after just sharing some glances. Even in their arguing recently, they were clearly a team of sorts, as they were surprisingly in sink in their reactions. <br>
<br>
Senna decided to shake Scylla's hands. <span style="color: #BC8F8F"><b>“Well enough, girl.”</b></span> <br>
<br>
Theron chuckled at the bumping head remark. <span style="color: #A0522D"><b>“Don't worry, it's nothing compared to the headbutts my dad used to welcome me back home with.”</b></span> That said, he just looked at Scylla in confusion. <span style="color: #A0522D"><b>“I'm afraid you're moving too fast lass. What deal did you make for that meeting? How'd you even convince that thrall not to kill you on sight? Also, what type of contraption are you talking about?”</b></span> There was a fair bit of new information without too much context provided.<br>
<br>
Theron considered Cayde's suggestion to use magic. <span style="color: #A0522D"><b>“I'm not too familiar with magic, but it might work.”</b></span> <br>
<br>
Senna chimed in. <span style="color: #BC8F8F"><b>“Plus, we're in Widersia. There's a fair chance the vampire and thrall won't be on guard against magic here~”</b></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #4169E1"><b>“With your permission...”</b></span> Yumi interfered when Cayde mentioned having the Thrall lure them to her mistress. <span style="color: #4169E1"><b>“I'm the stealthiest in the group, I'm I could stalk you and help the others follow along. That should keep us on your tail.”</b></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #A0522D"><b>“If I may, I'd suggest trying to cure her first. Once her master's in reach, she'll make sure you won't be able to cure her. She'll have her attack you all and fight you herself. If you cure her first, she might volunteer any information you want afterwards, or we could force her to spill it if needed.”</b></span><br>
<br>
Cayde was right on the money to stick up for Scylla and Iberis, as they'd grown increasingly suspicious. However, their connection to Ryke's academy, which wouldn't easily keep monsters or criminals around, stated in a fairly persuasive and deceptive manner, put them somewhat at ease again.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #BC8F8F"><b>“Soooo... who or what would you transfer that curse to?”</b></span> Senna asked the obvious question.<br>

			<div class="bbCodeBlock-content">She felt some relief wash over her upon Sophia's arrival. The Fae helped keep Renee's voice at bay, literally keeping her grounded by holding her. She'd found herself subconsciously ruffling a hand through Sophia's hair as she enjoyed the latter's embrace. Slowly, yet steadily, she regained her composure and train of thought. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“I've told you that I wasn't Kalina before arriving in this world, right? I was just Alice Baker. I only learned the name Kalina Chivernu after familiarising myself with this body, appraising myself... I've always wondered who she was before I became her, why she'd been there... ten years ago, underneath a chapel in Ryke.”</b></span> She took a deep breath. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Me, waking up in the body of a vampire, around the time that the body of their friend went missing? My ability to quickly learn roguish abilities, the fact that Hag in the marshes sent me to these people in particular... it all makes sense now, doesn't it? Who I was... am? Who this body belonged too, before I somehow woke up in it. My soul took it from the Kalina who's soul was sealed away. Yet... I couldn't even ask them for their friend's name to confirm it. How would I even go about? Sorry, I ended up possessing the body of your best friend on accident, please don't try to banish me, but please do try to cure me of this vampiric curse? I... I've got no clue what to do next...”</b></span> She was speaking calmly, somewhat, but there was some despair audible in her voice.</div>

“Oh I see!” Scylla responded today Caydes plan, “Excellently thought out secon- I mean.. Sir Leader! I knew you had it in you!” She winked, but then frowned, “So if things don’t work, you’re going to stuff me with mana until I explode?!” She closed her eyes as she took in the reality, “Very well, if it’s my time, it’s my time and I’ll die young!” She giggled a bit before turning to Iberis.<br>
<br>
“You really think so?” She asked in regards to the other witches compliment of Velvet, however joyously. “I mean, she’s not exactly like me, and she’s kinda rude and mean.. but.. she’s smart, and courageous and well.. she’s my protector I suppose, something about some really dark stuff happening in a parallel other world. Err.. too much, too much.” She’d fix a few knots in Iberis hair as she usually did when they interacted, “There, three down, about.. uhm.. forty three to go!” She giggled before putting a hand on Iberis shoulder, “Your hair is absolutely charming, dear! Good thing you have me around to keep it that way!”<br>
<br>
As for who the curse would be transferred to Scylla nearly volunteered when the witch got a sudden headache. “Ow, ow ow.. hey, hey hey! I was just thinking about volunteering for the curse I wasn’t actually going to do it!”<br>
<br>
A whole conversation took place in her mind, she’d nod a bit and look around before Theron began asking interrogating questions.<br>
<br>
Scylla looked at Theron straight in the eyes, then grinned playfully, “oh come on, do you really think a vampire would hurt adorable little me?” [Persuasion F] The witch giggled a bit before she noticed Sophia leave after Chandra. <i>Hmm. It must be bad. </i><br>
<br>
She turned to look at Theron once more, taking a few steps back while glancing in Sophias direction, “Well it’s not like I’m the leader anymore so..” she tapped Cayde and Iberis shoulders. “..these two could explain all the nitty gritty details!” She put her hands on Caydes and Iberis heads, whispering, “Don’t tell them about the part where I make myself look dumb, hm?” Then brightly smiling at the dwarf, “Now if you’ll excuse me, my G.F.S’s need me right about meow!”<br>
<br>
Before she departed however, she just had to acknowledge a detail that was quite unusually different for Moranas behavior, “Did you just.. call me ‘miss purple’?” Scylla would places her hands over her heart, “Why I.. I do believe I feel like crying! However, you’d find that annoying! Very well, your my new BFF and you can’t say no!” The witch would then start towards her partners however, “Be right back, bff!” She called behind her to Morana.<br>
<br>
Once with Kalina, she saw Sophia hugging Kalina disguised as Chandra. She hesitated, before speaking up, “Is.. everything okay?” She asked as the disguised vampire explained. The witch was getting a bit closer herself, hugging Kalina from the other side. “I.. guess I can share.” She muttered, then leaned her blonde head against her lovers arm. The witch had heard most of it but it seemed like something she couldn’t offer much in the form of comfort, “Is there anyway I can help?” She asked finally looking up at Kalina.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><div style="text-align: center"><a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/zzshion-png.1095862/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1032/1032992-7f6ec38fa89485152310dd59cd89c2a0.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="zzShion.png" title="zzShion.png" width="100" height="103" loading="lazy"></a><br>​</div>Shion was about to reply to Yumi with another dose of reality, but then she heard Cayde speak up. She mentally recoiled, awareness of her surroundings coming back to her more and more, and she realized what she had done, and she'd made another problem for Cayde to contain. She sat in silence a moment, going back to listening to everyone around her. She heard Scylla return from her backseat commentary, Iberis finally spoke up, and she heard Sophia take her leave after Chandra. She looked at Yumi again once there was a break in the conversation. Back to herself more, she decided, while she didn't like Yumi, she'd try to<b> [Empathize E] </b>with her.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"I know all too well what it's like, Yumi. I've lost more than you might be able to comprehend. Living for centuries isn't all it's touted up to be, it's a long time to collect bad memories."</span> Shion looked out one of the windows she could see as she reminisced. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"I've lost family, friends, and homes throughout my life. I even lost the love of my life not too long ago. None of it ever leaves you when you have all the time to remember, all that time to think about the life you've led and want to lead. To this day everything I lost makes it an uphill battle to place my trust in humans for all the wrongs they did to me when I was young." </span><br>
<br>
Shion leaned in as she looked back at Yumi, her eyes locking with the teary-eyed halfling. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"The greatest lesson I can impart to you, Yumi...don't throw away what you have today to hold onto the past instead. If your friend can't be saved, and you throw away your relationship with Theron and Senna, then no one's going to be there to catch you when you fall. And you just might fall onto a path that leads you to do terrible things...don't be like I once was."</span><br>
<br>
Shion sat back up straight, sighing before she looked at Theron. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"I'm sorry, I did nothing to help this conversation a moment ago. My sincerest apologies." </span>She looked over to Cayde. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"That goes double for you, Cayde...I simply embraced my past at a poor time. I'm sorry."</span><br>
<br>
She then looked to Senna. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Look after the girl, alright? She clearly needs you...I hope you can tolerate her insensitivity long enough for her to realize how much you care. Hopefully you at least trust each other." </span>A moment after her response, Shion caught up mentally to how Senna responded. Her words about trust weren't stated like the spoken language of a human, it sounded like the sounds a beast would make, yet she understood them perfectly. Had she been speaking this way from time to time? She'd ask one of her companions later, asking right this moment was clearly a bad idea.<br>
<br>
She heard Yumi agree to three days, and she looked back to her.<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)"> "Three days will be plenty. I look forward to seeing you all in action."</span><br>
<br>
Theron began to question Scylla's information she was sharing, and she decided to step in before things got out of hand. Scylla even bolted and left it to her comrades before anyone had a chance to object. She couldn't help but chuckle, guess Sverre would have to wait a moment. She looked to Morana.<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)"> "I guess we'll be waiting a bit longer."</span> She said with a humorous edge to her tone to hopefully keep Morana from descending too far into disappointment. Guess she had her opening to respond to Theron.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"In the interest of full transparency, Chandra took on a monstrous disguise in order to deceive the thrall into thinking she was bringing new blood for her master to claim so they might join forces, which was us. Morana can vouch for us that this was the plan we decided on. Chandra's quite talented, and she managed to put on a rather convincing show to win over the thrall's simultaneous trust and disgust at the monster Chandra was posing to be. The thrall told us to meet her back at the same place tonight, and for no one outside those present last night to show up any sooner or later, or else she'd know and we'd never see her again." </span>Nothing she said was a lie, and she had no reason to, she just made sure to use very specific wording so nothing would slip improperly.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"That's how we could tell the thrall was in her position of being an unwilling servant, and we managed to get the information about the necromancy before she was gone. It's why we've been trying to find a way to cure her because I agree with you, if we cure her that'd likely ensure her cooperation on the vampire's location far more than anything else."</span> She then heard the question about where they would transfer the curse before looking over at Cayde.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Did I miss anything? Do you have any ideas what we could transfer the curse to?"</span> She looked at Iberis afterwards, rubbing her thumb a little while they still held hands as a gesture of thanks for supporting her. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"What about you, Iberis? Thoughts?"</span></div>

Though his eyes had softened slightly as Yumi vented her frustration, a broad smile grew on Cayde's face when she finally complied. One more person helping the investigation. He felt a weight lift off his chest. <b>"<span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">Thank you, Yumi. You're making the right choice,"</span> </b>He nodded firmly, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"We won't disappoint. Promise."</span> </b>But her doubts still sounded reasonable, somewhat familiar even. Hope, but with a tinge of despair. For a slight moment, his features hardened. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Hey, sometimes all you need is a little hope. Before you know it, things just pop up before you, and everything starts to make sense, y'know?</span>" </b>He said, his tone growing wistful, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"I'd know. Took me a few months by myself. But <i>now </i>I know." </span></b><br>
<br>
For Shion's apology, Cayde affixed her with the same wide smile. What was there to be mad at? A minor slip-up? Nonsense. That meant <i>nothing</i> to what he'd just learned about her.<i> <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"</span></i><b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">No, it's completely fine, Shion! It happens to everyone,"</span> </b>As he spoke, his smile grew warmer, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"And besides, I just learned so many new things about you. That's awesome!"</span> </b>Cayde chuckled but quickly sobered, the details of her past life settling in.<b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Look, <i>I </i>should be one apologizing for not getting to know you better. You've been here so long, and I'm still stumped by you,"</span> </b>He said, solemnly bowing his head, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"But that'll change, yeah? It doesn't matter what you say; from now on, my ears are open."</span></b><br>
<br>
 He gave a slight wave to Scylla and Sophia as they started to depart, but his brows furrowed as Scylla approached the door. What was that she said about dying young? And <i>exploding?!</i> <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Wait, what?! Scylla, you're not gonna explo-"</span> </b>Cayde stopped, watching her disappear outside. Classic Scylla, he thought, the corners of his lips rising. Never change. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Looks like it's up to us again."</span> </b>Turning to Iberis, he drummed his fingers on the counter, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Alright, so we know curses can be transferred to people and objects. But does it matter <i>what </i>it gets put into?</span>" </b>He asked, arms folding against his chest, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"I've seen cursed orbs, read about cursed plants, forests, all the like. So maybe we could use just about anything..."</span> </b>He propped an elbow on the counter, cupping his chin. His back felt awfully lighter for some reason. What was that about?<br>
<br>
<i>Wait.</i> <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Hold on! Be right back!"</span> </b>Cayde shot out of his seat and raced back upstairs, his footsteps loud as he reached his bedroom. Soon, he was walking back to the stool, pack in one hand and the other fishing through it. He felt something smooth and cool brush past his fingers. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"</span><b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">Maybe we could try this?"</span> </b>He said, removing a hand-sized, vaguely clear crystal from his bag. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"It's something I chip into potions. Supposed to store magic, but I think this one needs to be attuned."</span> </b><br>
<br>
Peering at the crystal, Cayde held it up to the light. His eyes danced about its multifaceted surface. There was <i>something</i> in the grimoire about activating these. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Let's try this..."</span> </b>Palming the mineral in one hand and placing another on top, Cayde closed his eyes, channeling mana into his hands. No intention was given, and blue, raw mana seeped out of his palms like fog. <b><i><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Nourish,"</span> </i></b>He chanted, directing magic into the crystal, hopefully attuning it. <b>[Magic E + Nature E + Arcana E + Survival E + Focus E + Selective Magic F]</b></div>

Seeing Yumi upset wasn't exactly the most comfortable sight for Iberis to have to take in at the moment with what was being said, it was pretty obvious even without the skills that this was a divisive and upsetting topic  for the hunters with how their interpersonal relationships were working out. At the very least Scylla's sudden shift didn't appear to be too much of an issue for the hunters to take, even if she knew that Scylla jumping between whoever Velvet was and herself didn't leave the most stable impression perhaps even if both individuals were grounded enough.  Senna raised a good logistical question at least.<br>
<br>
Shion also raised some good dialogue to the situation it looked like, it had been quite clear that Shion wasn't very fond of Yumi now probably because of her attitude, but to Shion's credit she was extending an understanding even to someone who she wasn't very keen of at the moment. Perhaps with time Yumi could remedy how Shion perceived her.  Shion even threw in some apologies which while probably weren't essential definitely didn't hurt any in the situation.<br>
<br>
Iberis gave a smile Scylla's way and giggled a tad, since the she was out there again with a pretty out there idea that someone as conservative in Iberis's mind as Cayde would risk Scylla exploding, feeling her deal with the hair again, it was nice to receive the compliment at least as the smile increased a bit <span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"I'm glad you think so, and yeah you can say that again. Not sure what I'd do without you~" </span> A warm intonation in her voice. She didn't react too much as the knots were broken nor surprised Scylla was doing it given their interactions  <span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"Well It's good to hear that they're a protector then, I wasn't quite sure what was going on at first  with Velvet there truth be told."</span> She clarified. Scylla giving her word that Velvet was fine put Iberis at a good deal of ease since she knew very well that Scylla wouldn't say something like that unless she really meant it.<br>
<br>
When Iberis was tapped she gave a nod of confirmation she was probably someone who could provide that information, and so was Cayde as far as their knowledge backgrounds went.<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)"> "Right."</span> She replied to Cayde, indeed it was up to them again.<br>
<br>
 And before she knew it Scylla was departing to go see what was up with Chandra, two people was probably sufficient at that point for the rest to continue the important conversation they were having. <br>
<br>
With Shion asking Iberis she responded,<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)"> "Well I'm assuming you saw it too, he transferred  the curse to a bone of sorts and it cracked up, so I could only deduce that a proper vessel would be necessary, I have no idea about the properties of the bone and whether or not ti was enchanted or not, but i can only logically conclude that anything which is effective at storing magic in general could be useful in storing a curse."</span> Iberis said deducing to the best of her ability with logic based on what she learned from what she saw. While Cayde was in thought suddenly he was getting up and telling them to wait so Iberis did, looking at Shion curious as to what was going through his head, as she smiled a bit at Shion from the tender hand contact. <span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"Hm, wonder what Cayde's got for an idea." </span>She said matter of fact, and it wasn't before long that he was back with some sort of crystal.<br>
<br>
Iberis watched with a bite of awe as Cayde atuned the crystal and his mana went into it, truthfully she hadn't really seen anything like it before, so it was rather interesting to her as someone intrigued by knowledge.  <span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"Yeah I think that'd do nicely if my theory is correct, logically something good at holding magic should be good at holding something like a curse." </span>She reiterated. Would certainly be better than them needing to use a bone or something at least she imagined.</div>

I'm... well, I have always been Sophia Smith. Hell, except for a few changes, even my face is roughly the same as it was in my previous life. I didn't really have to suffer like you... So I have no clue what you're having to live through. But either way, you can ask or you can decide not to. I won't judge you either way. I know it's a hard choice to make, but I can't tell you what to do. It's your choice, after all." </span>She reached up and pressed the side of one of her claws against the vampire's cheek, holding it there as she looked up into her eyes. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"But you know, either way you choose, I'll be there to back you up, alright? I won't let anyone hurt you. You've been hurt enough in the past, and you don't deserve that. Nobody should go through a life of sadness. Not even you. <i>Especially</i> not you."</span><br>
<br>
The other claw reached up, pressing against Kalina's other cheek, before dragging her down. Sophia pressed her lips against Kalina's for a few fleeting moments before pulling back, staring into the other girl's eyes. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"You want to know what my true dream is? To see a smile on your face every day. So no matter what happens, I'll be chasing that dream. And no matter what, I will see to it that it comes true. So tell me, which choice will brighten up my world? Because only you can know that. And whichever choice you make, though it will hurt, I will still be with you. I'll be a shoulder for you to lean on and cry on whenever you need. Alright?"</span>​</div></div>

When Scylla turned to her in particular, however, she scoffed. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“Whatever illusions you need to keep you from pestering me, I'll take it.”</b></span> She seemed to already regret her previous action of calling Scylla 'miss purple' by now. <br>

Shion's words, carrying a good level of empathy, rang through. <span style="color: #4169E1"><b>“I wasn't aware...”</b></span> She looked confused at Shion claiming to be so old. She definitely didn't look the part. She also wasn't sure how to react to Shion admitting to having done terrible things, but was clever enough not to mention as much. <span style="color: #4169E1"><b>“Although I'll say one thing. I won't just admit she's in the past just yet. I can't give up on her when there's still a chance to save her.”</b></span> She simply nodded to Cayde backing up Shion's words by saying she made the right choice.<br>

He looked at  Shion, then shook his head. <span style="color: #A0522D"><b>“I can hardly fault you for such a thing, especially not with the state our own group's been in.”</b></span> <br>
<br>
He was more interested in the next part, Shion's full explanation. He was silent all through-out, glossing over to Morana to see her nod, then back at Shion. <br>
<br>
When Cayde returned with the pack, he was looking at it with some interest. It definitely did store some magic, but whether it would store a curse was unclear. <br>

<span style="color: #BC8F8F"><b>“Looking after her, huh... I guess turn-around is fair play~”</b></span> She'd reply to Shion. It'd be odd to look after a senior she'd looked up too thus far, but it might be worth a shot. She did wonder why they were suddenly back to Common. Gone was her chance to brag about being multi-lingual. <br>
<br>
She'd then chime in on Cayde's efforts. <span style="color: #BC8F8F"><b>“That's some fancy thing you've got there, but that thrall's curse will be strong. Are you sure it won't just break if we're trying to stuff a strong curse into it? Perhaps we need to use multiple or something?

<span style="color: #778899"><b>“Thank you.”</b></span> She told Sophia, as the latter reaffirmed she'd have her back. She accepted Sophia's kiss, but it was without much feeling to it on her side. Her mind still lost in thought about which decision to make. Her words had a much bigger impact. She took a deep breath. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“I don't think I can run from my past. It'd keep haunting and bothering me. Even if their answer will be difficult to deal with and their actions might back-fire, I'll have to ask them. However, I want to make it clear we're on their side first. I'll ask them, but after we dealt with the vampire. Just like how I planned to ask about being cured.”</b></span> She'd made up her mind. <br>
<br>
That's when she felt Scylla coming in to hug her from the other side, a faint smile on her lips. It was tough not to smile when feeling so loved, even through all this drama. One good thing about being tall was that she could draw Scylla and Sophia alike into a hug. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“It's far more okay now, with you two here.”</b></span> She'd state, treasuring the feeling of holding the two blondes close for a moment. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Staying yourself and sticking this out with me, that's already all the help I could ever ask for.”</b></span> She'd reply to Scylla.<br>
<br>
Then, she took a deep breath. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Well then, let's get ready. We'll figure out how to cure the thrall, which would convince the vampire hunters that it can be done. That'd set them on a better track to help me out, hopefully. Then we'll deal with the vampire, which would show we're on their side without a doubt. Then... then I'll reveal who's body I have and hope they'll understand somehow and would be willing and able to help me. Perhaps we can find a way to subtly let the others know beforehand, just in case... but we'll have to wait and see.”</b></span><br>

<span style="color: red">Thank you all for joining this part! I'm working on getting part 3 up as we speak, so be on the look-out for it! It will start off with them entering the factory to go meet the thrall, so let's do all the ironing out of the plan OOC on Discord and/or add some final notes/details to the first parts of the posts in the next part. As for Sverre, trying to get access into his mind would've failed as Morana and Shion would realise his memories were 'corrupted' and unclear. However, they would manage to make them start up a 'recovering' process that'd be happening going into part 3.</span><br>

<b>Narrator bonus worth = 42 points</b> (From having multiple A-grade characters.)<br>
<br>
<span style="color: red">Quick note to the grader; considering the RP ended being more than two parts, with a third part soon following and no titles having been granted in the previous part, I'll carry over the title suggestions into these parts.</span><br>
<br>
<b>Generally applicable to all characters:</b><br>
<b>Title: [Widersia Adventurer E]</b> – Character is an adventurer of the Widersia adventurer guild. Known for being proficient in a number of terrains, Widersia adventurers tend to be diverse and capable.<br>

-<br>
<br>
<b><u>Cayde Whitinger</u></b><br>

<br>
<b>Skill: Deception [F =&gt; E] </b> - 7 points from narrator bonus. For successfully keeping up lies towards the Thrall. <br>

<b>Title: [Guardian Form]</b> – Character has an alternate identity, transformation or otherwise alternate form that serves as their guardian.<br>

Hmmmmmmm. Feel like this in-between chapter in the trilogy was very much a middle child. A lot of setup for future things. A lot of subplot. The benefit of chopping up grander narratives into multiple pieces like this does seem to offer a much more thorough exploration of more aspects in a particular storyline and connected lines. Felt like previous chapter gave a stronger flavor of the setting. The more I read of these npcs, the more I wonder if they play a crucial role as much as just give some simulation of the world trying to deal with its own problems prior to the heroes making their move. Weird thinking there was only 6 pc's in the rp despite the total cast feeling more full. <br>
