110213 null sami derse

CC [GM]: Nullar, after your conversation with Balish, you went to your recuperacoon and had yourself a good cry, which led you into a deep sleep. You awaken in a PURPLE AND PINK BEDROOM that looks earily like your normal room, except for the UNBELIEVABLY CLASHING COLORS. Nullar: "ugh, this again? ]:" Nullar: Null extracts herself from her recuperacoon and looks around, trying to see if the defenses she set up at Balish's undeniably paranoid request were still functioning. CC [GM]: As you're used to by now, your room is in a tower, high above the regular buildings of derse. The people crawl around like little black ants, just like the ones that would eat the leaves of your precious babus. Nullar: The fact that she can see out her window is certainly Not a Good Sign. This means someone has removed her defenses yet again while she slept! She lets out a quite aggrieved sigh and looks around for anything out of the ordinary. First, in the room, then outside. CC [GM]: Roll NOTICE Nullar: [4df+2] => [-1,-1,1,1,2] = (2) CC [GM]: Null, you notice a NOTE on your Windowsill Nullar: Null: read note. CC [GM]: Null reads the note. CC [GM]: Hi Nully-Hon! I heard about you talking to Balish and what an asshole he was to you. I hope you feel better soon! If you need anything I'm just a pester away. <3 LOVE, Scarlet> CC [GM]: Love, Scarlet Nullar: Nullar smiles a little and takes the note into her inventory. At least SOMEONE has her back! Nullar: (does it have any aspects?) CC [GM]: (not that you need to worry about. The ink is glittery.) Nullar: Glitter isn't usually her thing, but Nullar still finds herself refreshingly endeared by it! She looks around her room for available exits. She's well aware that she can always just fly out her window whenever she wants, supposedly, according to that backstabbing asshole Balish, but she likes her feet to stay on the ground thank you very much!

CC [GM]: <font color='#000000'>Nullar and Sami head down the stairs. They spiral for a long time into darkness, until you come out onto a black sand beach.

CC [GM]: <font color='#000000'>A moment later, you see a white skinned hand reach out of the curtain, and then a head peaks out. The face is young, and beautiful, with large almond shaped eyes, that are pink with no sclera. She has no hair, but long pointed ears. She smiles upon seeing you, revealing a pair of delicate fangs, as she steps out of the curtain. She is wearing something that leaves LITTLE to the imagination, and is essentially just sheer veils overlapping each other. CC [GM]: <font color='#000000'>"Sami, Nullar. Welome to my Tomb."

Nullar: <font color="#a80004">Nullar looks at Sami, and seems to feel bad about having this conversation in front of her, but quickly turns her attention back to Scarlet. "You can do that?" she asks, looking more than a little suspicious.  CC [GM]: <font color='#000000'>Scarlet Nods. "It will be hard, but not impossible."

Nullar: <font color="#a80004">Nullar scoffs at the idea of friends, and looks nervous about the idea of drinking anything RC has to offer. She prefers to make her own food and drinks.... But, she acquiesces, as being rude to the lady offering to give you a powerup isn't really super cool. "Sh...-sure." CC [GM]: <font color='#000000'>Scarlet stands and disappears behind the curtain.

You know what, it would be nice to just hang out and be normal and not be scared for once in her life, and seriously what safer place could there be than this? So far the only bad thing RC had done was drug her just a little and hey it was a totally cool kind of drugging so whatever! She peered in to stare at Sami and Scarlet.

And you're bumbling through this black romance the way you bumbled through this moirail thing with Nullar. Honestly, it's almost like you're a human, the way you focus on one quadrant. Balish Aggaro: <font color='#76099f'>CT: Hehehehe, as you SAY, quadrants have NOT been my FOCUS through my LIFE. Nullar: <font color="#a80004">Nullar smiles. "Haha if you say so," she says, and takes a seat next to Sami. Balish Aggaro: <font color='#76099f'>CT: You should KNOW, Witch. Hell, I CULLED the first fool I loved!

CC [GM]: <font color='#000000'>RC: And how about the second? How do you think Libby will fair in this mess. Nullar: <font color="#a80004">"Ivy," she says, like it's the most obvious thing in the world. CC [GM]: <font color='#000000'>Scarlet nods. "it's like circuitry, I'll do my best." Balish Aggaro: <font color='#76099f'>CT: Hehehe, she'll be SHOCKED, but I've done my BEST to explain romances to her. How she INTERPERATES it is in her CONTROL.

CC [GM]: <font color='#000000'>As you sit on the bed, you reach back to stabilize yourself and you feel something COLD AND HARD. You look back and see a withered husk of a body, It's head tilted back in an agonized scream, mouth wide with fangs extended as far as they will go. A light stain of pink dribbles out of the eyesockets, dried centuries ago. The body wears the same gauzy clothing that Scarlet is wearing. A tube is leading out of the nose, filled with a bright pink glowing liquid, to a dispenser mounted beside the bed. Sami: <font color='#6495ed'>"Oh....I guess this is what you meant by 'my body.'"
