Ariadne

[chlorophylliac]

At the height of her powers, she wouldn't have had to move an inch. The moment she'd had one hostage she could have sent him to neutralise the others; she could have filled the whole of this place with her pheromones, compelled them to come to her like bees to an open blossom. This was drudgery of a sort that she had never truly experienced; she was used to having all of her powers or none at all.

At least the plants she could touch still spoke to her. By the time she found Ariadne she had quite the procession following her - Prefect, Kirk, Hoffman, Rex - but that didn't even register as unusual to her. Men were so easily tempted to follow her wherever she went.

Ariadne was attempting, as a sort of mind exercise, to manipulate the environment in the CES. She'd been told it was possible to do it, but it felt different than manipulating a dream. And, ever-curious, Ariadne wanted to test the limits of this ability. Try to ascertain where the differences were, and what kind of boundaries were set.

So far, it seemed to be limited primarily to the "natural" aspects of the environment, though she did manage a park bench after a while. She figured it would be all but impossible to actually form a building in here.

There were some voices in the distance, coming a little closer. She didn't want to eavesdrop on a private conversation (she wasn't that nosy), so she announced herself before letting them get much closer. "Hello? Nice day, huh? Good weather we're having." Joke. It was a joke, okay?

A girl. Ivy was starting to wonder where they'd all been hiding. And although she had some sympathy for a young woman who clearly didn't recognise the inherent danger of a given situation, well...she hadn't enough to risk letting her go and tell tales before the time was right.

"What's your name?"

[buildindreemz]

Oh, someone she didn't recognize.

Also, she was green. Well, okay then. Not the strangest thing she'd seen here so far. "Ariadne. You new here?"

If this is in any way not okay, give me a shout and I'll edit!

[chlorophylliac]

"I am."

She was conscious of how much time she'd spent searching the CES. It was possible - not likely, but possible - that someone had already sneaked out to warn the population seething beneath them. She needed to be moving on, and this time there was no room for niceties. She took two steps forward, cupped a hand around Ariadne's upper arm and kissed her firmly.

"What the - " Any objections she might have voiced in her shock were cut off by the forceful kiss.

And they withered away under the force of the pheromones.
