[color=0076a3][center][h3]~Silana~[/h3] Location: Northern Slums, cultist Hideout[/center][/color] [b]"Well...today has been interesting."[/b] The now mannequin like person commented, studying her immaculate hands intently. As she moved, her body made a few clacking noises as the artificial looking joints slid against one another. [b]"What about you, Casey dear? Enjoying not ending up like a blubbering pile of flesh like the other guy, hm?"[/b] It was nice to hear her voice hadn't changed any. [b]"By the dark lords unholy soiled knickers that was terrifying."[/b] The green haired person said as they sat in the corner of a room, back against the wall. Taloned claws scratched at the ground beneath her nervously. [b]"I-is it over?"[/b] [b]"Hmm, seems to be. Most of the others seem to have vacated the premises...it's probably a good thing we were the only ones here for now otherwise things might have gotten a bit messy. Shame about what happened to poor Victor. When my skin started falling off I thought I was going to die, but I rather like this change, heh! No more having to take care of such fickle skin and wasting money on skin care products."[/b] She chuckled, looking around the large mostly empty room. A series of benches had been erected in the hall, mimicking a church of some sort. At the end was an altar where an old coffin of some sort was laid out. It was sat up, leaning against the wall. It was where the people of this clandestine little cult gathered for their little...study sessions, heh. [b]"I'm so glad you're enjoying other peoples misery."[/b] Casey darkly replied. [b]"Charming, really."[/b] The other girl shivered, and not from drug withdrawals. [b]"I'm just glad it's over-"[/b] Suddenly, a loud thumping noise was heard from the coffin, causing the girl to freeze. [b]"..."[/b] A few seconds of silence passed and it happened again. [b]"NOPE NOPE I'M OUT GONE NOT STAYING HERE."[/b] She jumped to her feet, nearly barreling over the older woman before Allyn rolled her eyes, grabbing the other girl by the collar of her torn jacket. [b]"Oh come ooon, where's your sense of adventure?"[/b] [b]"No no you put me down right now you she-devil!"[/b] [b]"Cute words coming from someone who's part of a demonic cult."[/b] [b]"G-gahh, just put me down already!"[/b] [b]"But torturing you is so much fun, Casey."[/b] [b]"I swear to the great lord of whatever the fuck you worship I'm going to kill you."[/b] Before the other woman could reply, the coffin lid was finally torn off its hinges. Whatever the two had been expecting, it was not a pile of some sort of sludge looking thing with bones sticking out of it, unmoving. [b]"Poke it."[/b] Allyn shoved Casey closer, quickly causing the other woman's eyes to widen and shout in displeasure before quickly jumping away from whatever it was. [b]"You do it. I'm not getting anywhere near that."[/b] Before she could reply further, the odd sludge like liquid shivered, quickly moving and coalescing into a somewhat human like shape. It...looked oddly like a little girl, except one made out of some sort of dark sludge and had red, thorny protrusions coming out of her body. [color=0076a3]"...Ugh."[/color] One woman looked on with obvious curiosity, the other with apprehension and fear. For the moment, whoever and whatever it was, didn't seem to particularly notice them. If anything, it seemed to be studying its own body very intently. Its bright blue eyes scanned its sludge like body, a frown barely being noticeable being made out on her lips. A look of confusion followed by a frown of obvious annoyance. [color=0076a3]"...You there."[/color] She swiftly turned her head towards the two woman. [color=0076a3]"Where am I?"[/color] [b]"New Ark, underground base of your most firm believers your unholiness."[/b] [b]"Allyn what are you-!"[/b] Casey was silenced swiftly by a hand being shoved over their mouth. [color=0076a3]"...and you are?"[/color] [b]"Allyn and Casey! Yours to do with as you please, your goopy evilness!"[/b] Silana didn't reply, merely looked at her own body again. It seemed...whatever happened, she had ceased being human. She couldn't remember. She remembered falling into a bog of some sort and blacking out...did she die? Was she in hell or something? Odd, she thought Hell would be much worse than this. Whatever it was, it was annoying...as were these two fools that stood before her. She thought briefly about just ending any relation between them here and now, but something the talkative one mentioned intrigued her. [color=0076a3]"My most firm believers?"[/color] She questioned in an emotionless voice. [b]"Sure you just, your unholy goopiness. That coffin held our peoples dead prophet! And you came out of it so that makes you our unquestionable leader!"[/b] [b]"Allyn this is a bad idea."[/b] [b]"Ignore the chicken."[/b] [color=0076a3]"...so you'll do everything I say, then?"[/color] A small, not exactly nice smirk formed on the sludge person's lips. [b]"Indeed! Everyone that is still alive will follow you unquestioningly...well...once we find them, heh. Most seem to have scattered or have been reduced to a pile of fleshy goop."[/b] [color=0076a3]"I see..."[/color] She had...missed a lot, hadn't she? What had exactly happened while she was asleep? And where was this 'New Ark'? She was by no means a prophet at all, but it was difficult to remember anything. Silana started walking...or at least, tried too. Seemed her legs weren't working so well. She had an upper body and arms that seemed to be able to reasonably grasp things and work well enough, but her lower half seemed to just be a pile of sludge. Hm, she'd work on that for now... The slime turned her head towards the talkative one. [color=0076a3]"I wish to go outside."[/color] [b]"Ah, this way then~"[/b] Silana followed the odd puppet looking thing down a series of hallways, and against her better judgement Casey followed at a reasonable distance. It didn't take long for Allyn to lead her towards an exit in the slums. [b]"Here we are, lord of evil goopiness!~"[/b] Silana turned her head towards the woman, giving her a deadpan expression. [color=0076a3]"...quit saying 'Goop'"[/color] She commanded in her evidently usual emotionless voice. Before she could reply though, Silana exited the tunnels and into the slums above. [b]"Great, she's gone now lets leave ourselves. I'm not sticking around for whatever the fuck that was gets back..."[/b] [b]"Hmm? Leave? Out there? Heh, you realize that's probably a bad idea. These tunnels are probably one of the most safe places in the area."[/b] [b]"...damn you and your logic. Gah. Fine! I'll be seeing if I can contact any of the others over the net..."[/b] [hr] A few minutes after leaving the hideout, Silana was slowly making her way down the street of the slums. Everything was so...different? She had no idea what she was even seeing. It was almost as if she was in an entirely different world! It was so much to take in, even if everything was obscured by a heavy layer of dust and debris. Various theories and reasons as to what happened came to her head, but she couldn't confirm or deny any of them. All she could do was possibly find another person and ask. ...but then, those two definitely weren't humans. So maybe there weren't any humans around? Well, whatever. The next semi-sentient thing she saw she'd 'ask' for a little information. She supposed she could have asked those two, but they were annoying. The only value they had at the moment was that the talkative one said she'd follow whatever orders she gave her. So for now, silana would look for someone else to speak with.
