Aiko's Bad Day
Mary just stands awkwardly. She's not sure what to say. If either Aiko wants a conversation, they're going to have to start it.

Aiko's Bad Day "Oh, okay. Bye!" Mary waves farewell to Juibi. She leads the two remaining Aikos out of the school and to the nearby riftline station. They stop at the platform. "It's going to be a long ride," she says, not really sure what to say to her rival who is now relying ...

"It's still pretty cool! Except for the thing with your hair," Mariblex giggles.
"So how about the circlet?" They have no idea what that does, so it will be interesting to find out.

Depths Post
Fortunately, no activities, fun or otherwise are going to be happening this instant. It's more of a statement of future intent.

"Hey that's cool! You've got bird friends!" Mariblex points out. She's not sure what they're for, but they're cool.

A Local Shrine "I didn't say hostile, I said..." Jade turns, starting to snap at the koi as well, but she stops... "... Uncontrollable." What just happened was anything but uncontrolled. Jade snaps out of her irritation. She takes a deep breath. "Alright. I get the point. I...

Aiko's Bad Day
"For what it's worth, I forbid you from looking for Circe too," Mary adds. "Good luck finding Koko, come to [this address] when you've got her."

She beckons to Juibi and the remaining Aikos. "C'mon, we've got a train to catch."

Slime Problems "We'll find something fun for you to do with it, just you wait," Mariblex responds. Bella's reticence is an alien concept to them, they don't really get how changing your appearance could be a bad thing. "Yeah, let's try them out," Mariblex agrees. They have nothi...

Cry Havoc Kothar sees Cea begin to split open and the orbs closing in on him. He raises his shield and zigs left, bashing one orb out of the way with the enchanted bulwark, then immediately zagging right, jumping over the tendrils to strike the other orb directly with his flaming axe. A Local Shrin...

Crash Site Considering Jade is eight-ish years Khannie's senior, "young lady" is a bit of an unusual term for her. "What?" That sounded like cryptic nonsense... Which means it's probably very important. "Why can't magic ever be straightforward?" Jade wonders. Charity D...

Slime Problems "What's wrong with pretending?" Mariblex asks. "We keep telling you, you should have fun with your shapeshifting. Don't worry about being something you're not. You of all people should know that whatever you are, you're you ." But the circlet. "We can try tha...

Slime Problems
"We'll have to try it out," Mariblex responds. It sounds possibly useful but also weird.
"We think our wish worked out better than yours. Although we did have to die before things got better."

"How about the circlet?"

Slime Problems "Like reflecting spells at other people? Or maybe absorbing them into the pearls? That sounds useful," Mariblex passes the mantle over next. "I guess? I don't know. They never seemed that different from animals. Except the ones that can talk. And the ones that look lik...

Cry Havoc Kothar subtly nods to Wenomir's request. "You are mad!" He raises his shield, deflecting the orb. "What reason had I to harm you, before you attacked!?" But he's not exactly waiting for an answer, instead he's advancing, rushing directly towards Cea with a thunder of f...

Slime Problems Mariblex nods and pulls items out of their bag. - A glistening golden yellow dress made of spider silk and woven with pearls. - A mantle that looks to be made of iridescent blue crow feathers. - A circlet of living ivy with an emerald wrapped up in it. - A powder blue winter coat wit...

Aiko's Very Bad Day "I agree with Aiko, don't go looking for trouble, no matter how powerful you are." Mary looks at the assembled group. "Wow there are a lot of you though. Maybe we should split up. Mum doesn't like being surprised by crowds." Herself, three Aikos, Juibi, Asami...

Slime Problems "Some clothes that we think are enchanted," Mariblex replies, "But other than that it was kinda bad. Getting dissolved and then glooped into another person isn't fun and it's all so weird." They shift on their pseudopods. "We're aware that we were two separat...

Charity Dinner Both Fisher twins approach together to collect their prizes. Jade admires her new shoes (hopefully they fit) while Jason examines the chemical thrower with a critical eye. "Why'd you want that, anyway? You're more than capable of making your own." "Engineers don't alwa...

Slime Problems "No, you won't be needed for the feast," Sekhmet replies, seeming a little distracted. She's trying not to show her worries on her face; after all she has to step back into the audience chamber to speak with the emissary. "Stay safe, okay?" She vanishes back throu...

Cry Havoc "No." Kothar boils with contained anger. "There is difference between murderer and protector. You come to kill others. We protect them from you. Surrender or die." He's not about to back down, but thankfully it doesn't seem like anyone else is either. A Local Shrine &q...

Slime Problems Sekhmet considers. Mariblex withers under her mother's prying eye. "Juiblex? Isn't that some Faerunian demon prince?" she questions? "What happened? I thought you were working on a school project?" "We were... Sorta. But there was a dungeon and treasure...&qu...

Slime Problems There are a few moments of awkward waiting. The marble floor is warm against their membrane. Eventually Sekhmet emerges from the room, probably with Bella in tow. "Mary? What happened to you?" Mariblex oozes flatter onto the ground under Sekhmet's questioning gaze. "We...

Slime Problems The guard doesn't appear to question Mariblex's identity. They have some sense of the princess's fiendish power and while it seems distorted, it's definitely Mary. They're led through the palace corridors to the back entrance of the royal audience chamber. Wait here. The guard telepa...

Green Goo "We did it! Let's get our treasure and then go home to get fixed." Mariblex is thinking of that enchanted dress and some of the jewelry. Although that's not really wearable in their current state. "We don't really want to look around for more treasure right now, getting bac...

Green Goo
Mariblex takes another deep breath and spews a giant jet of hellfire at Juiblex. They basically only have one thing in their arsenal that will hurt the slime god, so they're going to use it for all it's worth.

Cry Havoc Kothar snarls. "The lizard" is a lot smarter than he looks and he doesn't like this situation. "We not attack if you surrender," he confirms in his shaky Tradespeak. On the other hand, he spins his axe through the air, demonstrating his skill and willingness to follow ...

Aiko's Bad Day "Asami, no. We need to keep the Aikos together to keep them safe. We don't want them to die somehow from getting too far from each other." Mary echoes Eddie's sentiments. "Plus I can take you back to my home whenever, and we'll need all of you for that." This is P...

A Local Shrine "You know that's not what I meant!" Jade protests, "How was I supposed to know this is your true spiritual self or whatever?" Without really thinking about it, she releases the staff to look at it properly while arguing with it... Which leaves her wide open to att...

Skye's Apartment Mary looks at Skye. She's pretty sure the other girl is older than her, and not by much, but it's hard to tell with demigods. Or demonesses, for that matter. Once she gets the all-clear to go next, she starts setting up her board. She sets up some hills next to Asami's cliffs, desc...

Green Goo
Now's the chance they've been waiting for!
Mariblex raises their head up and fires a massive bolt of hellfire up into the air. As it arcs back down it splits apart, raining flaming missiles down on the withering avatar of Juiblex.
"Go back to Hell you big wimp!"

A Local Shrine Jade frowns. "This thing's not an animal and we want to kill it, not scare it off! Being able to surprise it is more useful!" She leans back and raises the staff in both hands, trying to block the serpent's unexpected lunge. "How am I supposed to kill this thing?"...
