Having literally had to hoist their houseboat onto higher ground to avoid the devastating tidal waves, Ronin had used a dragon's claws and wings to set it back bobbing along the Arclight, and he's busy beneath the waves ferrying it along now towards gods only know what, honestly. I still can't believe it, he says, his mental voice almost a whisper despite the size of the creature tugging the vessel through the surf. ronin begin again, as the storm |

REMI And yet. Remi returns from the bow of the houseboat, eyeing the island with growing apprehension. With his wings splayed from his sides and his gaze shifted to try and spy any movement on the violet mass ahead of them, eventually, he calls a silent halt that Ronin should cease his towing. Close enough. I'd rather not have to repair her hull again if a wave bashes her against the island.
So saying the alchemist takes to the skies, having to put significant effort into flying through the winds that wanted to spin him around and drag him down into the sea. I will just have a quick look and see if there is any reason to go deeper in. He mentally calls out, knowing that soon his voice won't reach his husband but wanting Ronin at least to have some idea of what he'd planned. Hovering for a moment, the Lullaby steps foot on the island with his breath held as if waiting for the porous stone beneath his foot to suddenly belch, grow teeth, and try and swallow him whole. When nothing of the sort happened, Remi straightened and looked around. Stealth was often not the predatory choice he opted for, though given the completely unknown nature of what might might be lingering, the Lullaby did not roar his presence as he might normally have done. Instead, he swept the shadows around himself as an early defense before casting one last look over his shoulder toward the Northaven before venturing onward.

"Hello, sweet boy. You're very pretty, but I don't believe you were invited here."
The whisper comes, sultry as a ribbon of silk along the shell of Remi's ear, and he'll feel a presence behind him where previously there was none. It's gorgeous, this place - the culmination of a work that goes beyond lifetimes, beyond coherent thought and physical experience, and Dahlia basks in it. Her fingers yearn to press into the porous stone, wanting to grip it, to merge with it. Alas, the intruder will have to do. And so she does just that, her hands lancing out like rods of steel, aiming to puncture through the Lullaby's lower back and squeeze.

Remi is fast. Gods, Remi is fast. Dahlia is faster. Before the Lullaby can move or react, her hands plunge through flesh and muscle, wrenching and grinding against the viscera of his insides, squeezing anything she manages to grip. Remi: 1197/1302 Dahlia: 900/900 the Bastion

REMI Absolutely not. I'll just send myself off to sleep and wake up somewhere else. Remi returns, though whether or not Ronin hears is another matter altogether.
What Remi hears, though, are words that sound like wine-soaked velvet tightening around his throat. Before his muscles have time to do anything more than tense in response, he feels Dahlia's claws penetrating his sides and cloying at his body the way he'd done to his own prey a thousand times before. Gnashing his teeth together and knowing from experiencing that pulling away would only aid the damage she'd succeeded in doing, the Lullaby forces himself to remain still. Resorting to tried and true methods, the Lullaby reaches for his husband's magic in order to try and burn Dahlia off of him with three succinct blasts of starlight. Remi stays still and tries to hit Dahlia with Ronin's starbolts. Magic: Shooting Stars | The user may summon celestial energy as a projectile.

Something dark and disappointed taints Dahlia's usually delicate features, that her greeting has only been taken with a clenching of teeth and a silent riposte. No matter, though - as the celestial bolts appear, attempting to burst her away from her plaything, Remi will find that he is not the only one good at standing still.
And stand still she does - and takes it. "Like a gentle breeze on a Flowerbirth day," she whispers of the attack, her words sensually murmured against his skin. Since he won't move by himself, Dahlia grips further against bone and muscle, as if she might splinter them in her grip, before tearing away from Remi of her own accord - and hoping to take a great deal of him with her.

Listen Remi, there's good and bad news. The good news is that you hit Dahlia, proving she isn't untouchable. The bad news is that those very powerful starbolts that you and Ronin rely so heavily on do absolutely nothing. Just because Dahlia isn't injured, doesn't mean she might not be impacted by the glare of sudden celestial light aimed at her face. At least, that's the reason we'll give for Remi: 1197/1302 Dahlia: 900/900 the Bastion

There's no cry of pain where there very much ought to have been, and though Dahlia's claws are still hooked into his flesh, the most worrying part is the overwhelming sensation of the emotions he feels bleeding from her. The cool confidence of a fellow predator is what he might have expected, but to experience such entitlement and confidence against an opponent such as him was nearly enough to give the Lullaby pause.
Nearly. But then, Ronin had always been the more thoughtful of the two when it came to battle tactics. If he couldn't shake her claws without harming himself, that didn't mean he couldn't shake her. Coiling into himself, Remi lashes out with a rarely used spiritual shove he hoped might give him the time he needed to unhook himself from the thing upon his back. Remi tries to shove Dahlia's soul from her body! Magic: Soul Strike | If successful, knocks the soul out of the body. An out of body soul can't affect its environment for 1 turn during combat, or for 20 seconds in normal threads. (The attack is successful if Remi's STR stat is +10 greater than his opponents END stat. Based on the degree of failure, the target may experience numbness, dizziness, disorientation).

Thing? Rude, Remi.
Finding herself unintentionally still attached to the Lullaby and his juicy innards, Dahlia cocks her head, a movement that might well be suited to a bird of prey. "I know you," she whispers suddenly, as if the tawny wings and fresh blood have stirred a memory within her. "You're Ludo's puppet, aren't you?" She ought not sound so thrilled about it, but there's something infinitely more interesting about this little dalliance now. And since pulling away from him didn't work last time, she pulls one hand back and resorts to a brutish strike to try to bludgeon him forward.

Does Dahlia even have a soul to knock out of her body? Who knows, because his spiritual thrust misses. Slamming her fist against the side of Remi's face, the Lullaby is thrown forward allowing Dahlia's claws to score him anew as they exit his body. Remi: 1077/1302 Dahlia: 900/900 the Bastion

REMI Able to smell the instant metallic puff of his blood on the breeze, the Lullaby hits the porous ground with his hands outstretched and his knees instantly bloodied. His feathers are immediately darkened where they press against his sides, and for fear of Dahlia slicing them away, the Lullaby pulls them back into his body.
"It was not Ludo's hand inside of me just now." Remi snarls as he turns. Extending out a tentacle to try and grapple the thing—a woman, as it happens—before him that he might get some answers, if only because it seemed foolish to return back to Torchline with only wounds to show for his excursion to the island. Remi tries to grapple Dahlia with a tentacle. Who are you? They ask. Death? Sometimes... I say. But not today

Whether Dahlia hasn't heard Remi over the sudden sensory buffet of his blood on the wind, or if she's ignoring him on purpose is... well, it doesn't matter. She doesn't respond to him either way, lifting one red, dripping hand to her lips as if to paint them with a new colour. Then, of course, a tentacle snarls out towards him - and that suits her just fine. Dahlia likes being close.
Indeed, she might try to help him along more than just a little bit, trying to disappear before the tentacle can grab her only to pop up only a breath away from his lips. "They never said you were so handsome," she whispers, trying again to rake her claws across his flesh. Dahlia tries to dodge the tentacle and attack Remi again!

Dahlia hardly needs to work to dodge Remi's tentacle given what follows (read: a critical failure on Remi's part). As the Lullaby grows an extra limb, the wounds left by Dahlia are torn and expanded as the Lullaby's flesh adjusts. Blood pours from around the tentacle which ends up nowhere near its mark. Suddenly against Remi, Dahlia's claws rake against his chest adding new ribbons of red over old scars. Remi: 895.5/1302 Dahlia: 900/900 | |
