(Hel clicked her tongue in acknowledgment.) Hel: That seems way too young to have a demon on your back. (Hel turns to the warlock and his familiar and offers a lazy smile.) Hel: Hey you two, long time no see, what've you been up to?
Ragnor: Lifts his head, hearing the words directed towards him
Yo…that's what the kids say now a days isn't it?
Chuckles
Eve: Had curled up on his shoulder, seemingly asleep, though opens an eye, glaring at him
Instead, I think the tonic just scrambled your brains
Ragnor: Hey now, least give me some credit for trying Eve
"No one is ever to young to be possessed." Chesh said with a wave of her hand. "Nykidia was 12 when Night and her binded."
(Hel gives out a short but loud laugh.) Hel: Yeah they say yo! And s'up. And s'uh. I think they're also saying some other word for when you throw something really hard. Something like "yote" I think… I don't remember. (She gives the duo a quizzical look.) So I didn't hear a bunch about your story. You got any family or friends? How long have you two known each other? Coke or Pepsi? (She threw out another goofy, toothy smile.)
Ragnor: Well, let's see here…mother was a witch, an elemental witch who focused on earth magic, then my father was a warlock who did summoning. He summoned all manner of creatures from what I remember
As for if they're still alive, not sure
Looks to Eve
Eve: Her eyes remain closed as she talks
Your mother is still alive, your father passed away due to an accidental summoning of the wrong beast
Ragnor: Ah yes, how could I forget
Grimaces
Summoning a Demon Lord's 'pet' wasn't the smartest decision
Shakes his head, then looks back to Hel
Anyways, friends, there's a few back home in our world
There's the sorceress sisters whom I go to get my tonic. Talaren, a forest guardian…
Eve: Perks her head up
Oh, don't forget Faalfeykrojuun
Ragnor: Suddenly grins
Ah yes, good old Faal, how could one forget him
(Hel looked like she was having a spasm at the name and shook her head violently.) Hel: I'm sorry W H O? Fa- Faaa- Fall- fae-kr- Fa- ah frick it, but that name sounds a m a z i n g. (She laughs to herself. Necrotzen names are fairly simple and have slight human origins, but she has never heard a name as long and flamboyant as that.) Hel: Hoo, anyway, that sounds real interestin'. Do you have a job or do you just screw around?
Eve: Chirrups, tail swaying a bit
Oh, Faal is a earth/nature dragon
A lot of the dragons have names like his, though there are some with simpler names
Ragnor: shifts a bit
I run what most humans would call to be a 'wildlife reserve'
chuckles
Though the wildlife I work with isn't your average animal
Mostly focus on taking in lost creatures, or ones that are too close to humans
Also have a wide variety of familiars, etc.
Eve: Mhm, I help around there, though we also have to go to town
Ragnor: Ah yes, the Magical gathering hub
Rubs the back of his head with his good hand
Yea, I run my own branch that only has myself. I bring in creatures from my reserve to try and find homes for them, and take in beasts that need a place to stay
Witches, wizards, and all other manner of magical folks tend to gather there looking for stuff and whatnot
With a quiet whoosh, and a small electrical crackle! a faintly glowing ocean blue vortex appeared. A man walked in wearing gauntlets on his arms, he had jet black hair, and a nice long gait
"Hello, there. I'm Maxwell." the man said with a slight tone of curiosity in his voice. " Where shall we be going today?"
Eve: Ears swivel forward, wings twitching
Hm, a new person
Ragnor: Glances over, taking notice of the other's gauntlets, moving his right, metallic arm, resting it on his leg
Greetings stranger, or as the kids say; Yo!
Eve: Rolls her eyes
Please Ragnor, keep the puns to yourself
(Hel sucked in air through her sharp teeth in a manner of urgency.) Ooooh booooiii I was hoping this conversation WASN'T dead, but now I got places to be, so if you guys just don't let this die while I'm doing important chiz that'd be great. (She disappears. No fanfare. No portals. No anything. She's very late, so she simply vanishes.)
Chesh frowned as Hel left. "She just got here though." Chesh said with a frown. She looked over at the new person. "And you might be?" She asked as she floated to him. She looked him straight in the eyes. This would of been normal if she wasn't upside down, cross legged.
" May I ask do you have any other abilities?" Maxwell said with a cheery tone. " I can do a lot with vibrational frequency manipulation."
Ragnor: Shrugs
Life has a habit of coming out of nowhere and demanding your attention
Once Hel left, reaches into his pocket, taking out a lighter and cigarette, lighting the end of the white stick
Eve: One of her ears swivel back, the other remains pointed forward
That it does
"Well, I like to take the curve balls that life throws at me and make it a bit like a game of chess. If you will, with that, are we able to win?" Maxwell said with determination. "I would like to see your abilities first hand. for research proposes do you mind showing me?"
Ragnor: Pauses in smoking, raising an eyebrow at the other male
Um…
Eve: Lays both her ears back, eyes narrowing
Ragnor…how about you bring in Faal…I'm sure he'd just love to meet everyone
Ragnor: Eyes widen
No way! Eve, you know he hates being called unless it's something super important
If the kid wants a little magic show, I can give it to him
Eve: Smirks
Well, it'd still be pretty funny
Chesh smirked. This was going to be fun. "OK, pretty boy~!" She said with a smirk. She turned invisible. She floated around him laughing. She raised her hand and made him float off his feet. She didn't make him go anywhere, just let him float around as if there was no gravity. "Have fun getting down~!" She giggled.
"Wow, I'm impressed, so by manipulating particles of light you can make yourself invisible, nice. I'm actually doing this for research purposes that when we go out and fight, we can win with the highest of a chance of victory" said Maxwell as he raised his hands and floated back to the ground.
Chesh scowled at the mention of fight. She came back into view, her arms crossed and a scowl on her face. He reminded her ever so slightly of him. "Fight?" She growled.
Maxwell: note to self Chesh does not like fighting, sorry. looks to Chesh with an I'm sorry look. I ask your humble forgiveness.
Chesh backed up a few feet from Maxwell and turned invisible. She couldn't help but thing of the others. Aaron, Eve, and Darya. She looked at Maxwell with fire in her eyes, even though he couldn't see it.
Ragnor: Watches the events with an amused expression, the smoking stick still in his mouth
Eve: ears perk forward
Fighting…its just another part of life
Ragnor: Whether you are fighting to survive, or just for the hell of it…
Pauses, slowly closing his eyes
Fighting just to keep your family alive…heh…it's really a pity they had to go out that way…
Eve: Lays her ears back
Come now Ragnor…you know you couldn't do anything…
Ragnor: moves his right arm, staring at the metallic shimmer, knowing what laid underneath
Yea…I suppose there are just some things one can't avoid, no matter how hard they try
(A disgusting, dark, ooze begins to poor from the ceiling on to the ground. No visible entry point is seen, as the ooze seemed to have materialized from nowhere. As it pooled onto the ground, a multitude of eyes begin to spread upon its form. Eyes showing fear. Eyes showing sadness. Eyes showing hatred. All darting around the room searching for a means to escape the mass. Suddenly the ooze rises and takes form. All the eyes close in unison and do not appear again. The form, of course, is none other than Hel with another nonsensical form of entry into the room. She looks up and smiles at the group as if she wasn't covered in eyes not too long ago.) Hel: Hey, y'all! Had a some business to take care of, but it's all good! (She looks at the new face in the room.) What's your story, kid?
Chesh floats over to Hel, still invisible, and wraps her arms around Hel's neck for a hug. She stayed silent though. She didn't want this Maxwell person knowing where she was if possible.
(Her mouth goes stiff in a straight line and her eyes widen. A sensation is felt around Hel's neck. She immediately goes primal. She grabs whatever is around her neck and throws it to the ground with an unforgivable force. She notices that whatever she grabbed is invisible and deduces to her horror…) Hel: CHESH IS THAT YOU?!?!
Chesh groaned on the ground. "Yeah…" She grumbled. "Sorry!" She said sitting up. "I shouldn't of done that. I forgot your not used to that." She said with a groan.
(Hel kneels down in worry and generates warm, green energy from her hands.) Hel: Ah, jeez kid, I'm so sorry. When you're as old as me you need to keep it on ya' toes ya' know? (Hel frowned in guilt.) Okay so nothing's broken and no concussion, but you might wanna sit down awhile. Just to be safe.
Chesh just layed on the ground, still invisible. "It's fine, Hel. I should of warned you." She said. "I'm used to doing that and people knowing it's me." She explained.
Ragnor & Eve: Both instantly freeze at the sight of the ooze
Ragnor: Almost instantly moves so his body is in a defensive position, the earth seemingly cracking under him
Eve: Raises off of her master's shoulder, body radiating a bright green light
Ragnor & Eve: Once the disgusting ooze finally takes shape, revealing none other than Hel, both calm down
Ragnor: Arms fall to his sides, suddenly stumbling back a few feet until meeting a wall. Slowly slides down into a sitting position, head hanging towards his chest. With his good arm, tries reaching for his pocket, but his clearly having a terrible time, shaking
Eve: Gives a concerned chirrup, quickly flitting back and forth, trying to help the best she can
Ragnor: Continues to try and get into his pocket, muttering under his breath, voice shaky
Fuck, fuck, fuck
(Hel looks at the panicking duo and comes close in concern.) Hel: Hey, hey. Don't worry. It was just a new way of entrance I was testing out. I've been practicing for a while. (She tilts her head in worry.) Sorry if that gave you a mini freak out session, it's just my magic. (She awkwardly rubs the back of her head.) Jeez, first I slam Chesh and now I'm giving you guys a freak out. This is some cruddy way to start the day.
Chesh chuckled from the ground as she turned visible. It was taking to much energy to sustain it right now. "Hey! You started out my day better than he did." Chesh said jabbing a finger at Maxwell.
