~014 - [VIDEO] - Laura is possessed, what else is new?

[intofireforever]

[The video function turns on, and Laura can be seen to have painted some sort of yellow pigment, probably just paint of some kind, across her upper face and chest (which is bare, by the way, aside from a few beaded necklaces--it's a good thing she had her 18th birthday this summer, or this would have taken on a whole new level of creepy).

...Lechery?

Hey. Um. Hi.

I know that, uh, 'vessel' of yours. [Rex's god was funny. You're just a little scary, lady. Also, Laura possessed is a little 'aaaaaah fuck.'] I'm Paddy. Patrick. Whatever you folks prefer.

Don't suppose you could tell me your name or something?

[intofireforever]

[Don't be scared, Paddy. Despite her 'occupation', she's pretty nice, as far as sacrifice-demanding gods go.]

Hello, "Patrick." [She says this as if the feeling of speaking his name is completely foreign in her mouth]. You sound afraid, but there is no reason to fear. I am the goddess Tlazolteotl.

You say you know this vessel. What do you mean by this?

[christ_onabike]

Tla...zolt...eotl. Right. [He was scribbling it down on a scrap of paper.]

I mean, she's my responsibility.

And... well, I'd really like it if you could put her back how she was. If you're only gonna be here for a bit, you can have my body instead or something. I dunno. Just... put her back, please.

[intofireforever]

Your concern touches me, Patrick, but I cannot leave this vessel.

I will take care. While it is mine, her body will not be harmed.

[christ_onabike]

It ain't her body I'm worried about.

Could you just... 'scuse me a minute?

[BRB READING]

[TEN MINUTES LATER]

Okay. Here's the deal. You've gotta have some freaking awesome powers, yeah, cause you're a Goddess and all that. So... are you sure you can't swap us about? I mean... it's not that I don't trust you to be decent or anything, but... when you go...

Are you really sure?

I am gonna fucking kill whoever did this.

[intofireforever]

I do not have my normal powers while I occupy this vessel. To "swap" is impossible.

[christ_onabike]

...Shit.

[Switches to voice, and tries something else,]

Hey, Laura. Don't suppose you can hear me, right? If you can, it'll be alright. This'll be over and it'll be okay. I'll be here when you get back.

[intofireforever]

Is "Laura" the name of this body? It is just as strange.

[christ_onabike]

Yeah. Sorry, thought that might work.

[Private]

Hey, um, right. When you say you'll make sure she's not hurt... what does that include?

Sorry, Paddy, making things private is beyond her :c

[intofireforever]

What do you fear may befall her?

he frowns.

[christ_onabike]

Hey. Um, you're in her room, right? Can I come talk to you?

Re: he frowns.

[intofireforever]

I assume this is her dwelling. You may come.

spamtime.

[christ_onabike]

[Paddy is knocking on Laura's door, more than a little concerned.]

Re: spamtime.

[intofireforever]

[Tlazolteotl opens the door and looks at Paddy, a pleasant expression on her face.]

Welcome, Patrick. If you have come to confess, be aware that you may do so only once.

Re: spamtime.

[christ_onabike]

[Paddy shakes his head a little too vehemently. He only had one idea of confession, anyway, and this wasn't it.]

No, no, I just... came to talk.

Or... ask you some favours or something.

Re: spamtime.

[intofireforever]

Enter, so that we may speak.

[She steps back to allow him by.]
