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

[Fog from the well? That was a new one. Points for originality, Eris. Starscream's just going to watch, especially when she emerges from the well, resting on its edge.]

Oh, another human.

[A very...very different human.]

[Action]

[withoutapples]

Human?

[ She sneers, bringing herself to eye level with him. Looks like it's more than just fog. ]

Says the metal giant who can't see.

He must not do much reading either.

[Action]

[deceptiveplane]

Hmm...perhaps not, although you share the likeness of one. It seems to be a popular trend here.

[His optics narrow in amusement as his gaze meets hers. Oh, you have his interest.]

I see you've got quite the mouth.

[Action]

[withoutapples]

Well, if you expect to walk among them, you should.

I see you've got quite, the...armor.

[ Allow her to wisp away, behind you, then onto your shoulder. ]

Is that all you are under there?

[Action]

[deceptiveplane]

[True, even he has a human form he inhabits from time to time.

His gaze turns to his shoulder, eyebrow arched as she made herself comfy on that pauldron. HAVE A SEAT!]

Pfft. Of course not. You might say we are living beings, much like humans, although far superior in almost every way.

[Action]

[withoutapples]

[ She attempts to peek inside, however to no avail. No matter. He sure didn't breathe or move like a mortal, but, he lived and thought like one, which was enough for her. ]

Well, you certainly aren't gods, that's for sure.

But that still doesn't tell me what, exactly.

Continue.

[Action]

[deceptiveplane]

Compared to the sniveling humans, you could say we ARE gods.

[wow, you're not pompous at all.]

We are Autonomous Robotic Organisms. Living machines.

[Action]

[withoutapples]

[ She laughs loudly at his pride. ]

Goodness! Someone's full of themselves. Clearly you haven't met any real ones, then. Yet.

Living machines, so then you were made. How unfortunate. Do you break as easily, too?

[Action]

[deceptiveplane]

[Allllmost got it, Eris. He glares at her in almost disgust.]

I said living machines. As in, we were born.

[Action]

[withoutapples]

But you still break, right?

[ Her form is still there on the left shoulder, but her voice isn't. It's on the right. ]

Not to worry, I wouldn't tell a soul.

Born, though. So there's more than one of you.

[Action]

[deceptiveplane]

[lkajfdaf you're freakin him out, Eris! Good job~]

Don't be ridiculous. Human methods of trying to damage us are futile.

And yes, we are a race.

[Action]

[withoutapples]

Human methods, now we're getting somewhere.

[ Sure enough, look to your right, and she's there.

So were I to do this---

[ Letting her hands dematerialize, she gives him the illusion that she's ghosting her hands into his shoulder pauldron, feeling around. ]

[Action]

[deceptiveplane]

[Insert mental keymash here. My Eris you get right to the point!]

Get your filthy hands out of there!

[His opposing hand becomes a blaster, aiming right at her. Just try him, really, he'd love to see this.]

[Action]

[withoutapples]

[ Well, after speaking to his quite large ego, she can't help it. She brings her arms back up to rest on them, amused with his reaction. ]

If you honestly feel like putting a hole in yourself for my sakes, go on ahead, it'll make pulling you apart all the easier.

[Action]

[deceptiveplane]

[And he slowly lowers that blaster. She could be bluffing, but he really didn't want to explain to his medic why he shot himself in the shoulder. That's almost up on the list with punching yourself in the face.]

I doubt you could, succubus. But I appreciate your effort~

Now then, what are you?

[Action]

[withoutapples]

Succubus? Oh, please. I command the succubi, and all that reside in therein their realm.

Eris.

Goddess of chaos, unrest, discord, what have you.

A pleasure.
