Pre-smiley face mingle... kind of

Who: Anyone
When: Day 61, Evening to Night
Where: Level 3
What: Ribbit

[ As night falls over HQ, those on the third floor might notice things getting a little more... colorful. Maybe it's the light reflecting off all the water around or maybe your eyes are just playing tricks with you. Or maybe, just maybe, there are hundreds of small, colorful frogs jumping out of the stairway to the second floor and out into the hallways due to all of that rising water in the second floor, leaping wildly all over any surface they can find. ]

[ Just maybe. ]

[ And they're not all that's making their way across the third floor... ]

(( OOC: As a reminder! These are pilot frogs running loose and coming in skin contact with any of these frogs causes temporary disorientation and nausea. Come in contact with too many for too long and you're liable to pass out (or worse) from the severity of it. Fun times. ))

(( This post is also meant to be a mostly un-run mingling with frogs, but if you'd like a little more excitement in your thread, just hit up this comment and Ten will take you on an adventure. ))

[Most of Q doesn't know the meaning of the word sleep. '-']

Chrono...

[...You look different.]

[overclocking]

[Y..Yes... about that.]

I'm sorry for intruding so late.

[madasahero]

[You are all grown up. '-']

It is no trouble. Please, come in.

[I see you brought a wounded person with you...]

[overclocking]

[Carrying him in carefully, setting him down in the room Edward opens up]

I can pay for the price of the room, if need-be...

[madasahero]

That is very kind of you. What has happened to him?

[overclocking]

There were snakes, in the public baths. More than I could ever count. They dragged him in.

[madasahero]

[ :( ]

But he has been treated...

[overclocking]

[Nods]

We went to Dellen. I think... the worst of it should be fine. It's minor injuries at this point, and his clothes...

[madasahero]

Rory can examine the remaining wounds. We have some clothes to spare.

What about you?

[Why are you a bishie now?]

[overclocking]

[Isn't even thinking about it, honestly :'D]

... I'm okay. I'll go see a healer of our own later. I just wanted to get things settled here first.

[madasahero]

[Delicately]

You have... changed.

[I barely recognized you.]

[overclocking]

[... you earn a blank look for a minute before he registers what you're even talking about]

... Oh... this is actually my true form.

[madasahero]

...Your true form.

[overclocking]

[Awk... not really looking directly at him]

The smaller body is just one I use to conserve energy.

[madasahero]

[Smiling]

It's cute.

[overclocking]

[... C..cute...]

Um. ... Thank you?

[madasahero]

[Well, I love pets and children. XD

And right now embarrassing you seems like a perfectly valid distraction. You need distraction, Chrono.]

Not that your current form is unpleasant to the eye in any way.

[overclocking]

[sfjkd;fsj you're terrible]

I-- That's good?

[madasahero]

I think so too ~

Ah, may I ask an awkward question?

[overclocking]

... I guess...

[madasahero]

...What is the meaning of those horns?

[Really intrigued!]

[overclocking]

[Blinks... unexpected]

Meaning?

[madasahero]

I can see the flow of spirits in existence. Not very clearly, naturally. And there is so much life in Thusia that sometimes it is very hard to focus...

[overclocking]

[Giving him a curious look]

Demons feed on Astral energy to survive... Our horns are what allow us to draw it from the environment.

[madasahero]

[His brain is translating what Chrono has just said into Roland speech.]

So as long as there is energy available, and you can feed from it...
