Chesh thought about it for a bit. "Both and Neither." She said finally. "I was injected with other species blood in hope that there magical abilities would be transferred to me. Well to say the least it worked. I didn't strip my humanity away. Someone else did. Does that make any sense?" She tried to explain.
(Hel jumps at the explanation in shock.) Bro what??? You're a kid! Like somebody with parents and shiz! That's fudged up! (Hel sits and ponders for a moment.) Do you even have a family? Or friends?
"Nope. Parents died when I was really young. Only people I knew were at the lab. I had some friends that were at the lab. There dead now." She said, tapping her chin. "I have my adoptive siblings now though." She said, a smile lighting up her face.
(Hel stares at the girl, astound.) That sounds terrible… (She looks at her clawed feet for a moment before looking back up with an idea in mind) Wait right there I'll be back! (She leaps up and turns around. She raises her arms and from the tip of her sharp fingers come a violet essence surrounding her body. She makes a motion like ripping a door apart and a portal is shown, revealing a nonsensical assortment of colors and light only she can decipher. She walks through and the portal closes. A moment passes and the portal is back. She steps through and sits back down.) Sooooo I dunno if they got this where you're from, but when I'm feelin' bummed out I usually get this stuff. It's colored ice but it tastes really good. (She holds out a familiar drink.) Give it a shot and see if ya like it!
Chesh looked at it. She floated down from the ceiling. "I've never had one of these before." She said taking it. She slurped it. She blinked a few times because of the cold but then took another slurp. "This is good!" Chesh said, smiling.
Bryce: My apologies, but what is a human? What worlds are you people from?
(Hel grinned warmly) I'm glad. (She adjusts her position to a more comfortable seating.) Besides that levitation stuff, what other powers do you have?
"Well I ca also make other things float," She said as she made Hel float about a foot above the couch. "Turn invisible," She said as she vanished and reappeared. "And a few other things I'm still trying to figure out." She explained.
Hel: Aw man that's awesome! I can do that too albeit at a more… grand level but turning invisible was so cool! (Hel leans back with a thinking look on her face.) How long have you had these powers? And are you using them to fight evil or whatever or are you just screwin' around with em'?
"I've had these for about a year. I was supposed to be a super soldier so I'm trying to do the exact opposite. I have two adoptive sibling that are in the mafia." She explained. "What about you? Your a witch? What do you do?"
Max sighs and sits down, throwing his empty can in a bin before grabbing another: Why is ‘erry one ‘er so cool? I’m as borin’ as a drop bear!
Hel: Okay Mr. FussyPants sit right there, we're about to go somewhere cool! (She stands up and looks at Chesh.) You asked what I do? Lemme show ya. (She raises her arms in front of her and her face goes serene. Magic emanates from everywhere. The reality they stand in is being warped as they stand in it. She tilts her head to the side and snaps her arms above her head and the group is teleported to another realm. They are all standing on what can only be described as the night sky. Galaxies and nebulas surround them and sway curiously at their presence. Hel ignores this and starts waving enthusiastically at what appears to be nothing. Hel: YOOOO BUDDY!! I got some friends that I want ya to meeet! They're cooooooool!!!
Chesh looked all stars. Her eyes became filled with stars. Once she escaped the lab she became fascinated in horoscope, stars and seeing the future.
Max: Wow, this is even better then bein’ out in Alice Springs!
(Hel put her hands on her hips in pride.) You like? You could say it's someone's home. I'm not sure it we ARE in space or if this guy just has good aesthetics. Either way, I don't think he's comi- wait. (She listens to the void. No sounds are heard. No noise. No voice. Nothing. Hel clicks her tongue in frustration.) What a party pooper! "Wahhh don't invite people in my house ehhh. This sort of disrespect will result in the suffering of a thousand punishments for you and your comrades ahhh." I was hoping you wanted more FRIENDS you LONELY HUNK A' NOTHIN'! (She turns around and summons a portal with a bored wave of her hand with less fanfare) We gotta get goin'. He isn't fond of guests. (The group is yet again warped, this time, back to their previous location. Hel sits back on the couch and crosses her legs) Sorry to cut the trip short. Thought he'd be more friendly but whatevs.
Max: Struth! That’s was better then a sausage sizzle outside Bunnings! Who cares if it was cut short, still pretty wicked.
Hel: Lmao get it? Wicked? I'm a witch? Haheeeeeeh comedy. (She props herself up more) So anyway, tell me about yourself. What's your story?
Max waves a hand idky: Ah. There’s not much to tell Sheila. I was an orphan in good ‘ol ‘Straya till my caregivers got involved with American Mafia. Turns out my real parents used to run a group of ‘em and I’ve been working with the sniper unit in my group ever since.
(Hel throws her hands up in bewilderment.) Hel: Another one?! Why are there so many orphans?? I mean MY mom's dead but she had the decency to die when I was like 21 and even then y'all are- (she cuts off with a realization) how old are you?
Max: I’m 19. He smirks and takes a swig of his beer.
Lily: (She had been walking when she smacked into a tree nearby. She falls over.) Oww…
Max: you right there Lil lady?
Lily: (She looks over to Max, and her ears go down. She jumps back a touch.) W-who are you? W-where am I?
Max: I dunno where I am Sheila so I can’t help you there. But I’m Max, or Maxi. Your local Aussie. Who are you?
Hel: What? Whatt??? There's a tree here??? I thought we were in a room with a couch n' chiz… Also Whaaaaat the fuuuuudge is uuuuup with the ears, bro? That looks WEIRD. (Realizes she has no right to talk as she is a bipedal dark furred creature of voidic origins that controls the system of reality.) I take that back.
