Who: Lady and You!
Where: (1) Adventure & (2) Around Campus
When: September
What: (1) Pure Dead & (2) Lady gets another horrible spell from her arsenal back.
Warnings: Potential dead/death talk.

(1) CLOSED TO KAIBA & YOTSUYU
( separate threads, please! )

[ she had asked a couple of friends along on a walk, because she needed to clear her head and talk about some of the stuff that had happened over the past couple of weeks and, oh!, a shortcut. she hadn't ever noticed this before. lady hesitates for a second, because something seems off about it, but as she spares her friends a glance, she realizes that she just kind of wants to get to their destination sooner rather than later. she's antsy, since she's not really good at this sort of thing. sharing. least of all about herself. her past, especially. her abilities too. she makes a noise low in her throat as she starts down the path, but eventually she realizes that this was a terrible idea. there's no longer an end or a beginning. the path just is. she slows to a stop and just freezes up. she should have listened to her sixth sense. ]

I... I... [ they're lost and it's all her fault. ]

(2) OPEN TO ANYBODY.

[ lady had made the mistake of attempting another powerful spell from home. why? her magic is all that she had. it defined who she was and, in her opinion, it still did. the magic here, although amazing in its own right, is not her own. it's not that she hadn't been doing well in her studies, but it just wasn't the same, and her missed her own brand of magic, which is why as soon as the opportunity presented itself ( again ) she took it. ]

[ it's not like she hadn't eventually gotten the other spell under control... after days of freaking out and having her friends helping, b- but that's neither here nor there. ]

[ she finds a small clearing to practice in, using modification to change the environment around her to make small constructs that will act as target dummies for the minions she summons to attack. though obviously not real she should still be able to direct them to the twisted wire frames in the shapes of various monsters. ] Duvokun! [ she calls out and from behind her the portal opens, several of the damned drackin spirits shambling out to do her bidding - oh which there is really any. the wire frames aren't exactly what they're looking for, so guess what! it's time to bother people. ]

[ the 'damned' drackin are 'malicious' dragon spirits from lady's world that will alternate between petty vandalism and graffiti, incredibly inappropriate flirtations with those nearby, and dancing - and poor lady is going to be trying to wrangle them back into the portal the entire time! ]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Yotsuyu for the moment had little to say, simply listening to Lady. Allowing her to vent her troubles. She'd let the Drackin complete her tirade (as gentle as it might be, compared to anything Yotsuyu might let loose!), and mayhap then she'd have some advice. Not that such was a certainty, but one could hope, could they not?

It was a curious expression that crossed her face as Lady began to stammer--but then Yotsuyu's eyes slammed shut and she grimaced. She'd thought herself out of that Twelves-damned mirror's unholy influence, but it seemed not to be so, as behind her eyes, the Drackin shrivelled up as if all the vitality was being sucked from her brutally. She gave a sharp inhalation and blinked, but it had only been another damned vision. Of course.]

You are unharmed? [Anything else could be solved. They're both clever and resourceful.]

[ she almost missed the change in yotsuyu's expression, but she paused to stare at her, tilting her head questioningly, as if waiting for an explanation... that was strange, sure, but should she poke and prod? did she have any authority to? were they friends? could she confide in her? lady felt uneasy all of a sudden. ]

Ah, y- yeah, I'm not hurt. It looks like I've just gotten us turned around. [ literally, because the path they came through on is no... longer there... ]

[Lady might be surprised--the woman might actually confide in her, if the girl asked. Would Yotsuyu offer information, however? No. She's damnably stubborn and does not like accepting help even if it's freely offered. Stubborn unto stupidity, even, though she certainly doesn't dissemble in offering help to others. And so, here they were.]

'Tis unlikely that this is your fault. Even on a good day, I suspect the ambient aether around this school is like to twist the paths. I assume that is why they tend not to make maps.

[Her comment is irritated and dry as the Sagolii Desert, but that ire isn't turned on Lady herself. Far from.] Did you have a destination in mind, when we set out?

I... ah, mm, that's probably true. [ it couldn't be her fault. she had taken the path a few times in the past. ] I do have a destination in mind. [ or, she did. she's not so sure about it now. there's a strange pull down one of the paths as the dread lets up a bit, something she suspects is thanks to her companion talking her through it. she looks down the path and considers her options. she's curious, wondering what's going on. ] We should probably press forward, right, ... [ she gives her a weak smile. ]

It shouldn't be much further, and it's usually serene there. [ a small pond tucked in the corner of a small garden. she thought it would be a nice place to relax. talk. assuming they could get there. ]

[ heading into more dread, i'm sorry! ]

oh no.
