first calamity | video + action | black on white.

[withoutapples]

[ The feed opens in on a black, crackly haze, and there's not much to be seen beyond the wisps of smoke and black dust. Someone's definitely making a grand enterance. If you're so fortunate to be around, plumes of black and blue and gray spill out the sides of the fountain, encircling it like a fog, contrasting against the snow's pure look. Bad

[Gordon studies Eris...profoundly fascinated by the goddess of chaos. He keeps his distance.]

omg i felt like such a creeper posting her app after yours im so sorry ;;;;;

[withoutapples]

[ Eris doesn't move from the fountain, the steady fog still materializing around her feet. The trip looks like it took quite a bit out of her. Her gaze wanders. ]

Very fun indeed.

Lolwhat? No! No worries!

[blkmsatraveller]

[Eris startled the Freeman. He hides against the wall but he...may want to say hello. Sh!t, sh!t, sh!!!!!!!!!!!t, she saw him]

ohgood. oTL thank youuuu ; ~;

[withoutapples]

Oh, mortals, always so shy. No matter.

[ She pockets the device (where? hammerspace, probably.) and stands from the fountain's edge. She doesn't make a move towards him, her attention supposedly on other things. She waits for his curiosity to get the better of him. ]

[blkmsatraveller]

[And it does. DISAPPOINT, GORDON. He tries to approach her with some semblance of calmness but he's mostly curious]

...What are you?

[withoutapples]

[ She chuckles darkly. Oh, she could already tell, this was a very practical man. Maybe a man of science and explanation. Maybe. Science was still a small group of crazy sounding men in her time. ]

What do you suppose I am?

I'm quite curious myself.

[blkmsatraveller]

An interdimensional being, transcending and alternative states of matter. [points to her nonexistent feet] I'm guessing a Class 4 alien.

[withoutapples]

Nope. But a very good guess.

[ Oh yeah, now she's sure he's a scientist. She floats, hovers closer, her amusement obvious. ]

Any other guesses?

Sorry about that; bedtime :|

[blkmsatraveller]

[He smirks and circles her, observing her every move and studying her]

If I were a superstitious man...I'd guess a deity. [the way her hair moves, her eyes] Possibly disorder or anarchy.

Then again, I'm not. [For now]

no problem, I know the feeling. /Hawaii Standard Time, I get it A LOT.

[withoutapples]

Too bad.

[ Ah, now to play? She wisps behind him in a split second, observing a shoulder of his suit. ]

You know, you should be, because if you were, you'd have been right. On. The money.

[blkmsatraveller]

I usually am. [points a gun at her...chivalry's not only dead, but a zombie.]

[withoutapples]

[ She chuckles again, much darker than before, not at all deterred by the gun. ]

Oh, save it. It'll only be a waste.

By the look of your suit, you and I are good friends already, aren't we?

Or you're just clumsy. Or both.

[ That's a leap there, Eris. A really big assumption. Again she wisps, from back to front this time, facing him with a wicked smile. ]

What stopped you from believing?

[blkmsatraveller]

The former, only I can't screw Chaos the way it screwed me. [He gives her the elevator stare] I stand corrected.

[His smirk's almost gone but it's mostly regret and rage. The gun's back in the holster though.]

And I was agnostic before aforementioned event. [NOPE NOT TELLING]

[withoutapples]

[ Chuckling is now full hearted laughing. ]

We'll add charming to your growing list of positive things about you.

Agnostic? Well. Then I suppose I'm changing a few things, now aren't I?

Please. Call me Eris.

[blkmsatraveller]

Dr. Freeman. I'll leave my first name for the next time we meet. [He's rather careful around humanoid beings.]

And...you may be changing some aspects of it but the gist remains.

[withoutapples]

You sound so sure that it will be happening. Hopefully you won't be as shy next time.

Ah well, Dr. Freeman. A pleasure none the less.
