[quote=@BurningDaisies] As December desperately thought about wanting to speak and question her surroundings, she felt the muscles in her throat writhe, contort, and give way to accommodate a few rapidly growing nodules. She coughed with a deep, husky voice that she knew was her own, but was still altogether alien and strange to her. Looking down at the two girls she was talking with before, and her divine construct kneeling in reverence, she began to realize her predicament. [color=CCCCFF]"Lexus?!"[/color] She turned to the other two girls. [color=CCCCFF]"What's going on?!"[/color] The alarm in her voice unintentionally sounded more like barely contained anger, as the predatory rumble in her throat pounded the air. She could scarcely control her own body as it reacted to her thoughts and mood. [/quote] [quote=@Rune_Alchemist] [color=bc8dbf]"Sorry, sorry...Heh, I'm suddenly feeling a tad bit excited."[/color] Senna managed to calm herself down a tad bit, tearing her eyes away from the fight with the beholder. [color=bc8dbf]"I don't know what happened, but it seems perhaps this game just became much, much more real."[/color] That was the only conclusion she could come too, at least. [/quote] [quote=@Hammerman] Selena reflectively jumped out of her seat, pushing the chair she was down to the floor with a loud crash, and drew her knife when she saw the beast sitting where December should've been. When the knight made his appearance and bowed down to the creature, saying things like "punishing the mortals" and the like, Selena became even more suspicious on the creature. Only after the creature spoke that she understood that it was December all along. [color=pink]"D-December, i-is that you? W-what happened?"[/color] [/quote] When Selena drew her knife Lexus Dominiel immediately stood up and pounded the haft of its warhammer, Punish the Guilty, into the ground with a resounding boom and mild tremor as a warning, but the small villager girl's aggression immediately stopped after her realization, so Lexus Dominiel relented. After all, it wouldn't do for Lexus Dominiel to really challenge one of December's fellow gods, and it was perfectly understandable, December had transformed suddenly. But December's question caused a moment of doubt to cross Lexus Dominiel's mechanical mind, [i]how could December, the All-Knowing, show uncertainty?[/i] Lexus Dominiel chastised itself for even allowing that thought. Obviously December was demanding a report from Lexus Dominiel on the status of the Apocalypse, to confirm that things were going smoothly. [color=a187be]"The creature that the 'flesh demon god' summoned is in the process of destroying the world, as you planned. However, many of your fellow gods have begun attacking it. If you demand so, I can stop them, but if it is your will to allow them to continue, then I will not interfere."[/color] Lexus turned to the two nearby to address their concerns, wondering what the horned demon meant by 'game'. [color=a187be]"My Lady, the Gracious and Just, has taken on a most frightening countenance in order to participate in the Apocalypse and strike fear into the hearts of the unworthy."[/color] Looking around, many of the other gods seemed stunned or confused. This made sense to Lexus Dominiel, invoking the Apocalypse even had an affect on the lesser Gods, only December, who was supreme and untouchable, and Lexus Dominiel, who was unswervingly faithful and completely accepting and obedient of December's every decree, would be unaffected by the Doom of the World.
