Aw, but menaces are fun!

[laughing!!]

That's cute. Honest, I'm not making fun of you, I'm glad. They seemed to be really excited that you were with them.

... Is that your name? I'm not going to say it, don't want to get you in trouble.

[mygod]

[ NO ]

...

[ they are quiet for a long moment. ]

Shadowhand Essek Thelyss. And yes, do not use it anywhere here.

[ablazement]

Shadowhand, huh. Impressive.

[tail swish.]

No wonder you can't stand me, actually. [those m9 guys sound fun]

[mygod]

Thank you. It is a title acquired for serving a particular sector on our queen's court.

[ HUUUGH. same shitty energy. ]

I never said I disliked you.

[ in fact, they continued to speak to her; therefore, that is evidence of their resignation (no). ]

[ablazement]

[is frumpkin still chilling, she wants to pet the bird.]

Oh, really? [GRINS REAL BIG AND SHITTY AT HIM] So you like me, then!

[stop]

[mygod]

[ the bird is still chilling, yes. NOT THAT ICON. you can wipe that smile off your face, karlach.

the sound of them opening their mouth, then closing their mouth. ]

I....... did not say that.

[ablazement]

[chants love her love her love her]

I know you're a squish under all that. [she teases, tail swishing. she will pet the bird.] I just saw.

... It's weird how close our worlds are, but not quite. You've got goblins and tieflings and half-orcs, and that sort of looked like the Underdark? But not exactly.

[mygod]

[ grits teeth

the bird tweets and then hops down onto her shoulder, but when it lands it is definitely not a bird anymore. it is a familiar (now) brown, spotted and striped cat. it rubs against her head. ]

It is Rosohna, the capital of our Dynasty, a city in a territory of land called Xhorhas. My people built it above the Underdark after we rose from below. But yes, we have goblins, and orcs, and tieflings, and firbolg, all kinds of races of beings not human.

[ablazement]

[AAAAAA KITTY. sorry she's paying attention she swears but also she wants to snuggle this cat to death. kiss kiss.]

Oh - so you have got the Underdark. But - we haven't got Xhorhas? [almost like it's for copyright reasons] Huh.

Then I wasn't a big surprise for you. Maybe a bit taller than you'd expect.

[mygod]

[ this cat in particular will snuggle her back actually. ]

You are quite tall for a tiefling, but I guess people of all races come in various shapes and sizes.

[ablazement]

[pets this cat happily.]

So d'you actually have horns, then?

[mygod]

[ they are never gonna get this cat back. ]

No. I'm a drow. We don't typically come equipped with horns.

[ablazement]

[correct, she is stealing him.]

Can I see? [she knows drow don't have horns she wants to see your face hot boy]

[mygod]

[ there is some silent hesitation here. the way their head turns ever so slightly as if checking the surroundings. no foot to foot shifting because - well, floating. the energy is there.

after a long moment, they reach up to scoop the mask from the bottom and lift it a little over their head and away from their face. ]

[mygod]

[ beneath the mask is a handsome drow with the same deep, purple skin as the hands in the memory. his hair is short and shockingly white, but matches the eyelashes and eyebrows below. both ears are decorated in silver jewelry, and there is even a loop through the center of his nose. his eyes are brilliantly violet, the expression in them cautious. ]

[ablazement]

[HOT BOYYYYYY

she grins at this, widely.]

Awww. Why are all of you so hot! What the fuck!

[mygod]

[ NOOOOOOOOOO

they immediately yoink the mask down again over their face, situating it. NO. they aren't exactly entirely flustered, maybe more confused as it why karlach would just SAY THIS aloud.

WHERE IS YOUR FILTER? ]

[ablazement]

[WHAT FILTER SHE HAS NEVER HAD ONE

she squawks, and then laughs at this oh my god.]

Nooo! I'm just saying! You've got a nice face, you haven't got to hide it!

[mygod]

[ begging her to get a filter. DON'T LAUGH EITHER. ]

It's policy. I shouldn't have shown you to begin with.

[ablazement]

Oh, whatever. Who am I going to tell?

You're just shy. That's alright. [rules goblin]

[mygod]

I am not--! [ went at it a little too emotionally. ] Shy.

It is detrimental for us to show ourselves to all of you. So do keep this to yourself.

[ she's already blabbing probably. ]

[ablazement]

[i can hear the flustered matt in this sentence]

I'm not going to tell anybody, promise. Why can't you, though?

[mygod]

[ listen, ]

You think the cult won't send us the way of Nehan if they think we're fraternizing with all of the sacrifices?

[ablazement]

Good point.

I want you all safe, so. I won't tell. You can trust me - I promise.

[mygod]

[ trust me, promise are, like, the most terrifying words they could hear. ]

We will see then...
