Oh well that just tears it. By all that is holy, what a pain. This game had gone on long enough but the notion of being detained was positively rotten. Enough to make this little man fit for the graves. Gather and skitter, hither critter, spawn and spawn into each other once more. Gather and grow, link and mend and rend into one another to join anew in forms larger. Chitinous, shelled, writhing, pustule, haired, horned and unholy. Creatures massing into The Swarm, the endless gluttony and greed. The desire for naught but More, More Gain, More Pain, More. More suffering to cause, more to take from any who had what She did not. A great Throne of Want that formed out of the bones and carapace of Her children, the Swarm Queen ascendent.

"Oh, well they were a fun little bit of nutrients, I'm nothing if not a caring mother, darling. Kiddo, I think I pull off my mantle of matriarchy well, don't you think, boy?" Kicking a leg up and letting it sit bared and triumphant, gazing down with mirth. "Now, I would suggest weighing your odds. I'm in a good mood and feeling merciful if it means you annoy His Big Loud and Red." The swarm gathers, the swarm readies, the swarm surrounds and grows and forms a dome atop the bearer of light, bearer of curse, bearer of lightning.

Look, I think Kohi would be a lot more open to hanging out with Colt if he didn't say it was detaining, that implies submission and that's a big no no.

Like as an NPC? Or do you want to make one?

@BunniesOfDoom

Either or! I'm down for whichever!

Really? Of all the things to care about, the boy was focused on mister tall dark and loud? He had a beautiful woman, the most beautiful woman the world had ever seen, and still yet his first concern was Algrimar. The perfection that was Kohi Dei was presented before the lad and still yet he had not a single thought but the Grim?

Possibly gay, she'd need to make a note of that if she was to continue.

But really, he was being a good sport about it all, to be fair. Kohi gave Colt an innocent feline expression and answered with all the honesty and sincerity the subject deserved. A solemn tone that brooked no humor in it.

"Well of course, how else would I get around?" She raised an eyebrow in questioning glance. "Do you suppose I flew?" A twirl of the finger, a strut of the leg, and she began to walk from side to side, pacing back and forth as she gestured into the air. "I'm a woman of business and life's simple pleasures, I need to go about the world in order to experience it! Look at all of this!" She gestured, creatures and crawlies spilling forth from from below the dress, clambering down the legs until spawnlings came from spawnlings and the burgeoning swarm created a crescent around Colt, preparing to enclose. "I would have taken a carriage but drivers are in short supply these days.

"My darlings could never do a single thing wrong in their all too often far too short lives. Do you see this precious little critter? Look at him, isn't he delightful?" She spoke, gesturing to a creature of fang and claw and carapace, the unholy fusion of some barnacle encrusted lobster and mantid. "Oh dear, try not to jump around too much! You're making them nervous!"

If she wasn't backup? Well, that question required one simple thing for Kohi to want to do. Something Kohi had no real desire to actually do. That of course being help another being for the sheer purposes of comradery and shared interests.

So Kohi did as she would undoubtably always do, and told the truth.

"I have no intention of playing second fiddle and lackey to Algrimar, the bodies, well...that was not by my hand. Not to mention, you shouldn't be accosting random ladies in the waxing hours of the night, there's a murderer about, you know. What proof do I have that you are not this bloodthirsty vagabond?" She said with a smile and coo, letting her swarm spread forth across the plain.
