Epic City: Starburst

@Ever, sad to see you go...

Alright, see you guys later, since I've got weak signal and a cousin's wedding over this weekend. I'll be checking in occasionally.

Epic City: Starburst

Spectrum dropped into the chair, but bounced straight back up again with a series of crazy gestures, culminating in a hand against the front of the armour and a series of quick strokes spelling "F-I-T-C-H". "So that's why you had to to go and disappear like a dork," Alex replied. Spectrum's head shook vigorously, and a thumb got pointed over the left shoulder with a hand fanned at the neck shortly after.

"Yes, you totally are," Alex replied, pressing the point on Spectrum's faceplate where the nose would be. "But you're a cute dork. Maybe, I don't know, try talking to him? Outside of the job, y'know?" Spectrum's armour went white, and the head shook again, a hand tapping the forehead and passing down over the helmet.

"How many times do I have to tell you?" Alex responded. "You are not boring and plain. You. Are. Beautiful. And. Awesome." Spectrum got whirled around by the shoulders, Alex pointing the armoured Epic right at Dragon Heart. "Now go talk to him, or I'll make you go talk to him."

Spectrum spun, breaking out of her grip. Jabbing the thumb over the left shoulder again, a tap of the head and a spin on the finger followed by a covering of the eyes. After a moment, an hourglass gesture was combined with the pointing. Alex sighed. "Have you seen him? Listened to him? I thought you were nuts over him. He obviously is into girls. He just isn't a man-slut."

Spectrum raised an eyebrow, one of the few expressions clear through the mask. "A what?" The first words on this side of the conversation, but the face was enough for Alex.

"He doesn't sleep with every girl who wants to spread them for him, Spec," She explained. "He's classy, I guess. I don't know, you're the one crazy for him and you need to go talk to him. I mean, hell, I'll give you forceful alone time if you want."

Spectrum described a large circle using a sweep of one hand, then dropped the other right through the centre. "No," Alex responded. "But I can open a door for you two to have a private conversation. Just say it's important." Spectrum looked over at Dragon Heart, mingling in the crowd. The thought was tempting, to let him see her, rather than the armour. But the thought of taking off the armour now - when it hated clothes like it did - sent a fresh wave of embarrassment and white light through the armour. When had Spectrum decided to keep it under control today? When had that decision been forgotten?

Taking a deep breath in, Spectrum gathered all the courage available and willed the armour to blank again, walking over to Dragon Heart.

I would post a link, but I've borrowed a few ideas from that story and don't want to have my players second-guessing me.

@Athoriel, I'll need you you to let Spectrum back into the party via window.

@Zelosse@liferusher, so Drow has come to investigate the sad burrito of Zafi, while Zeke is still unpacking?

@Raptra, terrified. He needs a light to go anywhere in his own house at night.

Through the Portal

The change was subtle, but mesmerising. The uneducated eyes of fixedforms might only see the eyes, but that had been one of the first tricks Rhen had been taught. The important part was how the slight hesitancy of the mortal afraid of their power changed to the steady assurance of an immortal. The body language shifted completely, and Rhen unintentionally mimicked it, her eyes changing as well.

The attacks and ripostes were a ballet to her eyes, even with as little as had happened. Demons moved differently, and Rhen drank in every muscle movement, every gesture. When he spoke, she repeated the words under her breath. It was a slow process, getting the appearance and accent right, but the real work was getting the personality right.

She noticed the grass only when he mentioned it, so absorbed she was in knowing him. "It might even be dangerous," she added, forgetting she had his accent on her lips. "I've seen vampires change like this. Perhaps the grass is the reason we don't have animals here." She took out her book, getting closer to the Crimson Marauder and narrating the events.

"Forgive me if I haven't got your language quite right," she said to him, looking at the demon's eyes. "But I'm not just interested in your host. Both of you are the legend, and I would ask both of your permission to learn you." She shook her hair back to the red colour she'd worn initially, and cleared her throat. "Who's the plant expert around here?" She called in her original voice. "This grass needs an examination before it turns into bloodsucking knives or sets itself alight."

I'm also waiting for @Zelosse... At least for our collab.

Epic City: Starburst

@ihinka, Spectrum doesn't swing towards women. But would walking back through the window be interesting enough for people?

Spectrum lightly stepped over to the newcomer on the roof. "You were the violin player, right?" It was an effort of will to actually step on the roof, being a little buoyant from happiness, still shining a little blue. "I liked how you played. It was a nice melody." The compliment seemed to fall on deaf ears, so Spectrum walked around to the musician's front. "If you want to be left alone, I'll go."

Gently drifting down the side of the building, Spectrum kept an eye out for the party. Coming to a stop at roughly the right height, her fist knocked on the window. "Um, hi," a wave to look friendly and as if standing three stories in the air with hands behind back and a smile under the mask wasn't odd at all. "Aren't you Stark Crusader?"
