Apparently happy and surprised at Wolf's approach. [color=beaccb]"Ah! You are .. Um... Sorry... They say we've met before, but I'm terrible at remembering swords."[/color] But as she finally spotted him, she squinted hard, before finally concluding that she sadly couldn't remember him, despite how he seemed to acknowledge her. [color=beaccb]"The only sword I'm good at recognizing is ours. We'll never be parted with each other."[/color] She patted her unsheathed blade that lay across her lap lovingly, as if stroking a beloved pet, despite how it probably was radiating her heat away. Still, as an ice mage, she probably wasn't in any real danger, even if she still preferred being warm. [color=beaccb]"You've met a lot of souls in Hyperion? Let's see.. Hyperion... We definitely remember the cold and bright one.. Then.. There's... Um.. Hmm... The watcher of time was very soul-like, I think it had potential.. Let's be generous and count it as one, shall we?"[/color] Alexi tilted her head curiously, before attempting to count on her fingers how many souls she remembered meeting in Hyperion. She holds both her fingers before her, only reaching the count of two, [color=beaccb]"Do you remember any more?"[/color] She looks back up at Wolf, still holding her fingers out. [@Awesomoman64] [center] [img]http://i.imgur.com/JoVuKGY.png?1[/img] [h3][color=e6e6e6]Zyata[/color][/h3] [/center] [color=e6e6e6]"Heeee-y, how're you doing? Haven't seen you since that event at your lab. Did my team end up winning?"[/color] Zyata's voice awkwardly transitioned from "Hey! You're insulting my skills as a hunter and my totem animal in one go!" to "Hey... You're that insanely powerful person who could probably replace my arms with snakes. I should make small talk." Still, unlike Zyata or Titanica, who had gone into the pool naked out of utilitarianism or exuberance, Hohenheim seemed to be flaunting herself. [color=e6e6e6]~Great, at first everything was just chill, but now Hohenheim has to make everything awkward. Hot springs are for relaxing, not getting wound up!~[/color] Zyata's eyes dragged themselves away from Hohenheim's intentional framing of herself over to Titanica. Titanica, who before had simply seemed imperious now had other connotations now that Zyata's mind was already in the gutter. So she again wrenched her eyes away to stare intently at the water below herself. [color=e6e6e6]~Time to shut up and let the grown ups talk and try not to embarass myself further I guess..~[/color] Zyata submerged herself to all but her nose, as if to hide herself. Sigh, someone had been eavesdropping on her, so she had revealed her secret to not only who she intended, but also Hohenheim.. Who was... Difficult to think about... Zyata felt her mouth getting a bit dry and decided to take a gulp of the water. Probably wasn't sanitary, but meh, her stomach could handle a few germs. Even Debruda germs. Of course, keeping her mouth shut for any period of time was NOT one of Zyata's skills. She could manage it for short bursts, not unlike holding her breath to get the perfect shot, but in the presence of someone to talk to, she was going to open her big mouth again. Now she rested her arms against the edge of the pool, and laid her head against it, showing her back and not her face, hopefully [color=e6e6e6]"Er.. One of us? You two don't exactly look like siblings. Though, I suppose I don't look much like mine either anymore."[/color] At the word siblings, she was stealing a glance over her shoulder at their respective sizes. They were pretty much each a paragon of a completely type of woman. [@KoL][@Lmpkio] [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/3DHrDpJ.png[/img][/center] [center][h3][color=a2d39c]Miyu[/color][/h3][/center] [center][color=a2d39c]Happyverse[/color][/center] [color=a2d39c]"Well.. This was fun for a little while, just exulting in my newfound power.. But now that that's worn off, fuck, this is boring."[/color] Miyu finally stopped her dash across the world. She'd crossed quite a distance, but the world seemed exactly the same. Well, not exactly, there wasn't Lillian or that girl or Ananta around, who all seemed nice. And the buildings were different. But still filled with cats. [color=a2d39c]"I suppose I'd just ask. Hey, anyone, is this universe and the dominion of cats infinite or near enough?"[/color] After receiving an answer to the affirmative from a 40 meter tall fish serving fish to cats, she considered her options. [color=a2d39c]"Eh, that Lillian seemed nice, and the girl that warned me about not ticking off the cats seemed on the level. Guess it's plan find a job and meet back up with Lillian for beach house. Well, I hope we can find jobs that get us that. Maybe at least beach apartment. Or apartment close to a nice public beach. Or, damn, how am I still being pessimistic when my life's on such an upturn? I'm finally out.."[/color] On the verge of perhaps some painful introspection, Miyu instead distracts herself with heading back. She didn't need to get all the way there, just close enough she'd be able to sense Lillian once she found a job. As she began making her way back, she decided to spice things up by stepping off of things that couldn't support her weight, such as signs, windows, and other fragile things, for each leap, using her Mantle on each stepping point just before she landed so her weight was spread across both it and something plenty sturdy enough nearby. [color=a2d39c]"Ok, heee, there's still plenty of fun to be had just experimenting with the limits of these powers."[/color] Miyu smiled as she made her way back. [color=a2d39c]"I feel like one of those Wuxia action heroes, stepping on leaves and the tiniest of branches! I wonder if I could step on clouds... Wow, I'm an idiot. I have wings."[/color] At which point Miyu simply flew back. And decided she'd find Lillian first anyway. [color=a2d39c]"Well, my scientific analysis shows the plane is at the very least, very big. So, I'm gonna go with plan find a job to not annoy the cats as that girl said. Say, did you catch her name?"[/color] Miyu asked. [color=a2d39c]"Anyway, we best get looking. Hopefully we'll be able to find something nice. Who knows, maybe this cafe is hiring?"[/color] Miyu raised the ticket, to check if there were any now hiring signs on it. She knew her pizza coupons back home always had "now hiring managers" on them, bragging about how much of a family their pizza establishment was (which was certainly why all the managers kept leaving, no doubt). [@TheWindel][@Banana] [center][h3][color=ff80ff]Sapphire Pink[/color][/h3] [hider=Fluffy Woof][img]https://i.imgur.com/E7u5cV2.jpg[/img][/hider] [/center] Pink did her best to avoid paying attention to the other people in the room. Most of them seemed to be viable targets as well.. Particularly that Chen had a few flashes of negative emotions she would have been happy to eat. But with a prize like Ruxen in front of her.. Well, that was all the motivation she needed to put her best face forward. [color=ed1c24]“Oh for fuck’s sake, just leave me along you goddamn hippie! Why don’t you go hug a cactus or something barf for brains. I hear it’s the exact same if you actually hugged me,”[/color] [color=ff80ff]"But no cactus could be as beautiful and as in need of a hug as you!"[/color] Pink pleaded, [color=ff80ff]"Pleaaase, just this once? I won't bother you again.. Unless you want me too. Pleeease please pleease? :3"[/color] But before her "this is the last time I'll ask if you give in this once" argument could be responded too, [color=ff80ff]"Whoo!?"[/color] Pink exclaimed as her leg was suddenly pulled out from under her, sending her toppling towards Ruxen, arms alright seeking out for a hug, now seeked for something to grab and steady herself. Unless Ruxen dodged, contact between them would be inevitable, Pink clutching ont Ruxen's leg. If that came to pass, and if Pink could indeed eat the barest slimmer of Ruxen's immeasurable negativity, Pink's eyes would open magnificently wide, literally weeping sparkles, as the junkie hit the ultimate jackpot. [color=ff80ff]"So.. Delicious.."[/color] She'd deliriously moan, clutching Ruxen's leg around the knee as tightly as she could. More, more, she absolutely needed more, as much touch as she could get, pressing her head against Ruxen's inner thigh, nuzzling her forehead and cheek against Ruxen. Naturally her ear tips were thus tickling those ever so rarely touched nooks and crannies between the legs. Even this was not enough, as Pink would then begin licking her way upwards, seemingly oblivious of where this would eventually take her. Of course, again, such events would only take place presuming Ruxen didn't simple dodge the falling Pink and let her smash against the ground. [@Floodtalon]
