Scypho acknowledged Iris’s and Nina’s good morning with a wordless gaze as she made it down the last of the stairs. Attending Iris's remarks in mild disinterest with a scrutinizing stare, her red eyes focused on Iris’s Iris’s letting her finish her remarks. She didn’t know what all the hubbub was about, she quite liked the beach and all that it had to offer. But the others seemed intent on trying to figure out how to revert everything back to the way it had been before. Though it was troubling that others kept disappearing without a trace or warning, especially three of the more senior and leading members of Maverick. Now with Trixy having been the latest she was stuck with Nina and Iris, neither of whom she knew all that well other than their brief interactions here and there within the same organization and after Daggernose Dan changed everything. She had yet to build any trust with either of them, nor have they yet to build any trust with her in return.

She found Iris’s plan to confront Dan Daggernose quite foolish, she knew he was not likely to give them a suitable or logical answer to the question. Not only that it seemed unwise to antagonize a massive muscular orange shark man if you didn’t have to. He had all the cards right now, and was the king of this little sea. Especially when all they had was a spider with a giant corn dog, a jellyfish with a pool noodle and Nina with the jump rope and beach ball. At least they could offer him a form of food and some beach side entertainment but that was about it for their options as far as Scypho was concerned.

Giving a shrug of her shoulders as she lifted her sleeve covered hands up. “He could have eaten them, he is a shark after all” Scypho suggested to Nina and Iris without an ounce of humor within her stern tone with a glance towards Nina then back to Iris. Whether she was joking to try to be funny and lighten the mood or she was being serious there wasn’t any visible sign of either upon her features. If her two co-patriots wished to go confront Dan for answers, she had very little choice but to accompany them as a united Maverick front despite her reservations about how successful it would be. The shark had shown very little interest in giving up any information beyond his beach plans and she didn’t think that would change anytime soon.

TRIVIA:

Backstory/Personality

Scypho doesn’t speak much about her past or her origins, she keeps most personal information to herself. Even those that have known her in the past still know very little about her since she has arrived in Pax Septimus. She finds it hard to trust or get close to those around her until they have proven themselves worthy of her respect. She doesn’t have patience for fools and those who she judges as unworthy usually remain classified as such from that point on. Very rarely does someone who she judges unworthy rise themselves to a more esteemed status under her purvey. However if one has proven themselves worthy of her respect she is very loyal and protective and willing to assist them in even the most challenging or dangerous of circumstances. Scypho also claims herself a member of the Saints of Tempesta, an unofficial organization of which very little is known as she only shares information about it with those that gain her esteem. What is known is Scypho appears to be its creator and sole representative. She also has knowledge of Oros the Greedy and views Himiko Yoshikawa in a negative light for an unknown transgression of which she shows little interest in forgiving. Whether it has something to do with her status as Oros, her being a servant of Aigorost or some other factor, Scypho refuses to work alongside her in any capacity. What is known is that she has a great affinity for the sea and jellyfish in particular, designing, naming and basing most of her repertoire around this interest. This seems to have rubbed off on her personality which is much like a jellyfish sting, with most finding it difficult to try to make friends with her. Her second favorite interest other than the sea is outer space and the cosmos, finding the view of a starry night sky on the reflection of water to be one of the most beautiful sights to behold. She also is likely one of the few that feels right at home in the current beach based world created by Daggernose Dan and does not mind the current changes even if they eliminate her ability to fight. Scypho doesn't mind taking a non-violent route to get to her goals, but if violence is called for she shows little to no hesitation if the situation requires it.

Scypho started out her career as a freelancer but didn't feel like the work was meaningful enough. She didn't care about the money, the glory or the flexibility that could come from being able to work for the various sides of Pax Septimus. Though she came to the realization that what she was doing as a free lancer often went against or undid things she had previously done. Realizing that when she took jobs from GEMINI they often effected things she had done previously for Maverick and vice versa. With that realization Scypho decided she wanted something more in life, a purpose and means to build upon a continuous goal. This was when she latched on with Maverick and made the decision to further its goals alone. She hadn't been sure at first who to join, but she felt much more at home amongst the members of Maverick she had worked with previously. It also helped that her style, interests and powers all seemed to fit much better with them then anyone else. Scypho couldn't imagine surviving day to day life as a member of GEMINI, with the more uniformity and the prim and properness that they seemed to uphold and exude. Even so, Scypho doesn't hold any grudge or hatred towards GEMINI, having the willingness to work with them if it furthers Maverick's mission.

It had all felt like a dream,if it wasn’t for the pain she would have thought the whole experience was just a part of her imagination. Her current surroundings showed signs of the struggle that had happened outwardly while her own inner struggle had played out. Her current state kept her from surveying the area too far from where she laid. She felt utterly and totally drained and like she had just run the most intense marathon of her entire life as even the slightest bit of movement brought pain. She would have to remember not to let another being take her body for a joy ride again any time soon.

She at least could hear what was being said, answering it was another issue entirely on the other hand. She found she had just enough strength to lift up her right hand and give a thumbs up gesture hoping it would suffice the giant woman’s question as she had no answer for what Liu wished answered. This was the first she had heard of a child since she had been possessed and focused on resisting the entity's control. Where it had come from, why it was here of all places was a mystery she had no answer for as the powerful being had made no mention of it to her while she was under its control.

Though she had her own problems she had to take care of first before she could worry about another. Mustering up as much strength as she could she tried to slowly but surely push herself up from where she laid upon the ground. Taking her time to slowly rise up to a knee as she knew she wouldn’t be able to rush things. Once she had gotten that far she took time to take a breather, working on getting enough energy and will power mustered up to get fully back to her feet which she wasn’t looking forward to. For now she would leave the child and the question of what to do next up to the others.

Even without control, the pain Penny felt while trying to wrestle back control was immense. Even if it was all internal rather than physical it didn’t make the experience any more pleasant. The pain was unbearable, an intense burning that only grew the more she struggled. Feeling some give in the spirits resolve gave her the encouragement she needed to not give up. Penny tried to push against it even harder with more vigor than before to gut out the pain to outlast it as much as she could stand to bear. “If that is all you got then you won’t be able to keep me in here for too long, not with your crusade against cleanliness, you won’t disorganize and stir up a mess on my watch….” gritting against the overwhelming power of the entity as she wrestled with it for control bitterly.

She had to muster up every ounce of willpower she could get. The efforts of the group seemed to be helping her own cause as much as her efforts had helped them in return. The more she fought and struggled the more clear her mind became, the more aware of what was happening, the more determined to keep on fighting against its control. She could feel the control of her own body at the tips of her fingers, tantalizingly out of reach."Get out now...your time in control is over!" One final opening presented to the group that she hoped they would take for both her sake and their own. She was sure they would think of something as they had come off as a reliable bunch. She needed one last push to get her over the finish line and to rid her of the entity's control. It was all up to her new found allies, who she hoped despite only having met that they would do her the favor of helping her break free of the beings control.

It had all been a haze, but her mind slowly started to sharpen and focus as the dreamlike state slowly slipped away into reality. Making agreements with a being she had no clue what it was and what its powers were was likely not the best idea she ever had. Finding herself trapped within her own body like a prison while the entity went on its rampage. Once the initial panic and confusion subsided she was able to finally collect her scattered thoughts as she came to an inner calmness. She would need to act as soon as she possibly could. It was clear it wouldn’t be easy to restore control of her own body without the being resisting. Perhaps using words alongside a push to regain control would lead to a compromise of some kind. Either way the longer she did nothing the more dangerous the situation became for her own existence and those of the group.

“Quite greedy are we? Taking my body and using it like this to make a mess, for such a powerful being as you with the power to take control of my body you are proving to be quite clumsy…now how about you give me back my body my greedy golden friend so we can go about cleaning up this mess into something that can be considered orderly” Penny internally addressed the entity as she tried to force her way back mentally against the being’s total control. Mustering whatever energy she could to try to resist it as much as she could from within. Even if it ended up failing it was still worth an attempt to try to whittle away its control bit by bit until she could find an opening to regain her body from the being.

Penny pondered the golden beings' query as glanced down at her inviting hand. Her eyes shifted towards the doll for a moment as it behaved like a living being. Even with the uneasiness of the behavior of the wooden doll Penny didn’t feel threatened by the golden being or the doll. What she felt instead was a sense of trust and warmth which wasn’t what she thought she would have felt in a situation like this. Maybe having cleaned many of the dolls prior had given her some grace with it, it may have even established a friendly feeling towards Penny.

She started to suspect that the pulsing Heartstone may have something to do with that feeling. It didn't seem like it was a coincidence that it's pulsing glow had grown brighter with her level of calmness growing. “What exactly does becoming its instrument and its voice entail…will it allow me to clean and organize better? I don’t have much need for other abilities that don’t serve to further my qualifications when it comes to being a chief maid, if it allows me to turn chaos into organized harmony I may consider it….” Mulling over the offer that had been presented to her. She didn’t understand what it all meant. But the part about it sharing her purpose in bringing order to chaos had been enough to pique her interest.

Glancing towards her own right hand she made sure it was clean of debris before slowly extending it towards the Golden Eyed being. It wouldn't be right if she offered her a filthy hand in a gesture of friendship. That just wouldn't be the respectable thing to do and went against her code of cleanliness honor. The offer sounded reasonable enough, and free of anything worrisome or greedy as it seemed they both had something to benefit from a mutual agreement. She didn’t know what to expect but she wouldn’t ever find out if she didn’t at least try to work with the golden entity before her.

Well that had been unexpected, all she had wanted to do was brighten up the place a little bit. But now she found herself somewhere unfamiliar and separate from the others in a new and unknown location. Glancing down towards her hand to where her mighty feather duster had been moments before she couldn’t help but to show her disappointment at the loss of one of her favorite feather dusters. It hadn’t been easy to get either, it wasn’t every day you came across a high quality one and she had to hunt this one down and it was gone just like that.

She couldn’t dwell on it for too long as her attention turned to her current surroundings. Finding it unusually pristine and beautiful like a picturesque scene from a nature painting. Not only that, the crystal that she had tried to dust moments before seemed to have grown. But her eyes are drawn to a figure standing before the great Heartstone as she notices the wooden doll in the hands of the faceless woman.

The soft golden light for eyes reminded her of someone else, yet she did not know who or why. A frown slowly spread across her face as the figure approached, her own eyes fixed on the golden ones that watched her so closely. Hearing her voice fill her mind was an odd sensation. Taking a quick glance behind her to make sure she couldn’t be addressing anyone else but Penny. The woman had one thing right, Penny was definitely not the right person for this particular job. Penny had only ever worried about honing her cleaning skills first and her fighting skills second. She had little to no experience when it came to singing. It was obvious that the figure must have been expecting Esther if that was what she was wanting from her.

Worse yet was she didn’t even know what song she was talking about which made the matter even more of a challenge. Where was that giant of a woman Esther when she needed her talents the most. Letting out a small sigh she gave a bow of her head “I’m not quite sure how I may accomplish what you have asked Madam, I do not know what song you wish to be sung and I do not have any talent in that particular field so I must apologize for my lack of help”
