A plan is made... (Closed, chat log.)
Who: Penny and Ichigo
When: Late monday night.
Why: Penny dicusses her magic problems with a young death god. Information about their worlds is exchanged, as are personal opinions over a certain Seeker of Darkness. It ends with a decision to experiment a bit...
DreadPenny: Hello there.
kurosakionefive: Hi?
DreadPenny: Well, Mr. Kurosaki, I was wondering if you might be free for an experiment of mine.
kurosakionefive: Uh, like what?
kurosakionefive: By the way, you can call me Ichigo.
DreadPenny: Oh, well thank you, you may call me Penny.
DreadPenny: I've been going over some things, and I think you might just be the key to getting my power back.
kurosakionefive: Something to do with my reiatsu, innit?
DreadPenny: Indeed.
DreadPenny: Reiatsu?
DreadPenny: I don't speak much japanese.
kurosakionefive: Eh, the spiritual energy.
DreadPenny: I see.
DreadPenny: Yes, the energy coming off of you. It's magnificent, I'll have you know.
kurosakionefive: Not the first time I've heard it.
kurosakionefive: But uh thanks.
kurosakionefive: I think.
DreadPenny: It's colored with your passion and conviction, and yet has the most charming tinge of innocence...
DreadPenny: But the most important thing is that it appears to be an expression of your spiritual awareness and will, much like my own powers, I think.
DreadPenny: Am I correct in assuming that it has multiple expressions of itself?
kurosakionefive: ... Er.
kurosakionefive: I couldn't quite get what you just said.
DreadPenny: Ah, well, how do I say this...
DreadPenny: Can you bend your reiatsu to do more than one type of thing?
kurosakionefive: Not really.
kurosakionefive: Much as I'd hate to admit this, I have practically zero control over it.
DreadPenny: I see...
DreadPenny: Well, you seem to have a lot of it at any rate, it's bleeding out of you almost constantly.
DreadPenny: I think you might be the only reason my Spirits haven't depowered and died.
kurosakionefive: So... basically they've converted my reiatsu into something else that they can use?
DreadPenny: Exactly.
DreadPenny: Which makes me curious as to whether or not I can do the same trick.
DreadPenny: To a Spirit it's as natural as eating, I doubt KErmit and Totoro even realize they're doing it.
kurosakionefive: Ah.
DreadPenny: But to a Mage like myself such mystical energy is a, how do I put it, extra battery. I can still use my powers without any of it.
kurosakionefive: I see.
DreadPenny: But I can't break any of my current limits.
DreadPenny: Or extend the effects of any of my spells.
DreadPenny: Which is problematic.
DreadPenny: Since Ansem seems to have the power to control those with dark hearts, and mine is pretty much dark by default considering where I'm from, I'll need some sort of protective spell over me.
kurosakionefive: Ansem...
kurosakionefive: That guy seems to have disappeared.
DreadPenny: Not disappeared. He's hiding.
DreadPenny: I can still feel his vile dark powers...
DreadPenny: I've done some black magic in my day, but nothing like what I get from him.
kurosakionefive: *nods*
kurosakionefive: He's definitely way more dangerous than any of the opponents I've come up against.
DreadPenny: I've probably known stronger in my time, but I've never had to fight any of them...
kurosakionefive: That's lucky, I guess.
DreadPenny: If only I had the others with me, Baron and Neville would make this so much easier...
DreadPenny: They're the firpower of my little group.
DreadPenny: And yes, it's very lucky.
DreadPenny: I've brushed elbows with beings who would use my soul as a ten dollar bill.
kurosakionefive: I take it that hollows don't exist in... wherever you're from?
DreadPenny: I wouldn't doubt their existence where I'm from.
DreadPenny: I've met, in my short time, Vampires, Zombies, Werewolves, Faeries, Ghosts, Ghouls and Spirits and Demons of all shapes, sizes and demeanors.
kurosakionefive: Whoa.
kurosakionefive: You should go say hello to the Grand Fisher.
kurosakionefive: He'd probably be a nice addition to that list.
DreadPenny: Grand Fisher?
kurosakionefive: Yeah.
DreadPenny: I am curious now, what is a Hollow?
DreadPenny: I'm a member of an organization called the Hollow Ones.
DreadPenny: Well, not an organization so much as a way of life, really.
DreadPenny: It's an interesting parallel.
kurosakionefive: I see.
kurosakionefive: Basically Hollows are what people normally call evil spirits.
kurosakionefive: They consume other wandering souls.
DreadPenny: That describes a lot of things in my world.
kurosakionefive: The Grand Fisher is one of the most wanted Hollows in Soul Society.
DreadPenny: Interesting.
DreadPenny: A Big Bad?
kurosakionefive: Yeah, you could say that.
kurosakionefive: ... That bastard killed my mom.
DreadPenny: What is Soul Society, exactly?
DreadPenny: I see...
DreadPenny: I hope you get your revenge, then.
kurosakionefive: He kicked my ass the first time, but when I next see him, I'm ready.
kurosakionefive: Soul Society's what you guys probably call the afterlife
DreadPenny: Probably not.
kurosakionefive: That place is a mess.
DreadPenny: We don't have just one where I'm from.
DreadPenny: Besides, the dead seem to hate to stay dead.
kurosakionefive: What, zombies?
kurosakionefive: I thought those things only existed in movies.
DreadPenny: Zombies, vampires, sghosts.
DreadPenny: They exist in moves because they exist in real life.
DreadPenny: If they're on the silver screen, people are less inclined to believe stories of them.
DreadPenny: "Mom! I saw a vampire! It attacked Ms. Warsaw!"
DreadPenny: "Oh, that's just because of that movie you saw."
DreadPenny: And so on.
DreadPenny: It's a useful tactic they've worked up for themselves.
kurosakionefive: Hn, figures.
kurosakionefive: We haven't had to deal with any of them yet, though.
kurosakionefive: But we MIGHT, who knows.
DreadPenny: Count yourself lucky.
DreadPenny: My boss is a vampire, I'd hate to see him mad.
kurosakionefive: Whoah.
kurosakionefive: As in... those in Anne Rice novels?
DreadPenny: Ooooh, you like Anne Rice!?
DreadPenny: She's absolutely fabulous.
DreadPenny: I've read all her work.
kurosakionefive: My friend's the one mad about Anne Rice.
DreadPenny: I see
kurosakionefive: He goes on and on about her books and stuff.
kurosakionefive: I stick to Shakespeare.
DreadPenny: Well, the vampires in my world are similar, but different.
DreadPenny: Shakespeare, also good.
DreadPenny: You're a well read young man indeed.
kurosakionefive: Thanks.
kurosakionefive: That's about all I read, really.
DreadPenny: I stick to the classics myself as well. C. S. Lewis, Carroll, Poe.
DreadPenny: The Gothic and Romantic classics.
kurosakionefive: I see.
kurosakionefive: I rarely have the time to read anymore, nowadays.
DreadPenny: But, yes, my boss is a vampire. He had children before he was turned.
DreadPenny: And supernatural kids need a supernatural nanny.
DreadPenny: The boy seems to already have spiritual powers, and the girl is as clever as you'd ever see.
kurosakionefive: The whole family has 'em? Powers, I mean.
DreadPenny: The whole family appears to have supernatural blood of some sort.
DreadPenny: The mother was kin to Werewolves.
DreadPenny: Though not one herself.
DreadPenny: Their uncle has a bad habit of trying to take thie childre naway.
DreadPenny: He IS a Werewolf, a rather mean one.
kurosakionefive: In my family, my old man's the only one who doesn't seem to be able to sense spirits. My sisters can, and I'm not sure about my mom... but yeah.
DreadPenny: And then his cousin is a Faerie, a gay Faerie on top of that...
DreadPenny: I'm rather glad I don't have any proper family, I can only imagine.
DreadPenny: Well, the good thing is we're all friends now. Even the big mean werewolf accepts me as guardian to a pair of possible future werewolves.
DreadPenny: He should after I reattached his penis for him.
kurosakionefive: *snorts*
DreadPenny: A long story involving a curse and a fudge machine.
kurosakionefive: Remind me never to get into your bad books.
DreadPenny: That was an embarassing bit of dark magic, I'll admit.
DreadPenny: I still have the book with me, oh good.
DreadPenny: I can use it on Ansem.
kurosakionefive: You sure it'd work?
DreadPenny: I stole it from a rival of mine, a Nephandus witch named Jodie.
DreadPenny: It worked on a werewolf, it should work on some two-bit magician too.
DreadPenny: Besides, many of the spells are a bit more destructive than all that.
kurosakionefive: Hopefully it will.
DreadPenny: I've labeled it 101 Very Naughty Things to do with Dark Magic
kurosakionefive: I'm itching to try out my Bankai here.
DreadPenny: Bankai?
kurosakionefive: It's like... the highest level of attack a shinigami can attain.
DreadPenny: Interesting.
kurosakionefive: Normally only captains and vice-captains have it.
DreadPenny: I might just have to travel to your Soul Society one of these days.
DreadPenny: Just for a visit, naturally.
kurosakionefive: You mightn't like it very much.
kurosakionefive: Just the travelling from this world into that is a pain in the ass.
DreadPenny: Really?
DreadPenny: I usually use a mirror.
DreadPenny: Or run widdershins.
kurosakionefive: Eh, I'm not sure if that works.
DreadPenny: It works to get me into the Spiritual Realm normally, shouldn't be too different if I know where I'm going.
kurosakionefive: If it works, you gotta teach me, man.
kurosakionefive: I hate having to run for my damn life everytime I go through the senkaimon.
DreadPenny: I'm not sure if it would work with you, considering you're not a Mage.
DreadPenny: But there's no harm in trying.
kurosakionefive: Hn, figures.
DreadPenny: If your people are capable of magic, anyway.
kurosakionefive: Does that include Kidou?
kurosakionefive: Uh.
kurosakionefive: It's like binding magic. I can't really explain it properly. You should probably ask Matsumoto about that.
DreadPenny: Ah, the tall blonde with the magnificent bust.
DreadPenny: I should.
kurosakionefive: *coughs* Yeah.
DreadPenny: I'm used to Awakened magic, myself.
DreadPenny: I figure out what I want to do, decide how to do it, and it's done
DreadPenny: It's hardly ever all THAT easy, naturally.
kurosakionefive: Probably not.
kurosakionefive: I can't use Kidou, anyway.
DreadPenny: I see.
kurosakionefive: It's just Zangetsu and me.
DreadPenny: Zangetsu?
kurosakionefive: Yeah, that's the name of my zanpakutou.
DreadPenny: Is that that second spirit I feel around you sometimes?
kurosakionefive: Probably, yup.
DreadPenny: Fascinating.
DreadPenny: I had the feeling that your swords are not really swords.
kurosakionefive: Well they are just swords until you find out their names.
DreadPenny: If I had some Quintessence I could probably help beef up your blade.
DreadPenny: But that leads back to my original dilemma.
kurosakionefive: If you do find out some way to convert my reiatsu to this... Quintessence, um, feel free to make use of it.
DreadPenny: Thank you.
kurosakionefive: Hopefully it's as inexhaustible as it was back home.
DreadPenny: I've been pondering about making a Fetish or something and storing it there, then I could do something with it from there.
kurosakionefive: ... What's a Fetish?
DreadPenny: A sexual predilection.
DreadPenny: All right, that was a pun.
DreadPenny: A Fetish is merely an object that contains magical or spiritual power.
kurosakionefive: I see.
kurosakionefive: So... what am I supposed to do?
DreadPenny: Well...
DreadPenny: I've been reading up in my books that I have with me and I've come up with a spell that might just work.
DreadPenny: Unfortunately, it came out of Jodie's grimoire...
DreadPenny: She's the Nephandus witch I told you about. A Mage who sold her soul to a demon lord for more power.
DreadPenny: I defeated her, twice, and took most of her stuff.
kurosakionefive: Oh. Nice going.
DreadPenny: Thank you.
DreadPenny: Demonic power wasn't enough to help her beat me, it seems.
DreadPenny: But the spell might be dangerous for you...
DreadPenny: That's why I'm hesitant to use it.
kurosakionefive: Dangerous like how?
DreadPenny: It's common magical knowledge that spirits, ghosts and other bodiless entities can be held within wood, ivory and crystal statues.
DreadPenny: Jodie came up with a spell to trap a ghost and then use it as a sort of medival battery.
DreadPenny: She was fond of manipulating the dead, she even had a dead man's hand as a servant.
kurosakionefive: ... Okay, that's just gross.
DreadPenny: He wasn't so bad, I had him as a friend for a while until Jodie destroyed him. Such an odious bitch she was.
DreadPenny: Anyway, all I have to do is carve a statue in your likeness and then trap you in it, from there I can use the statue as a fetish.
DreadPenny: Reversing the spell to let you out would be simple.
DreadPenny: But while you're in it I have no idea how the spell would take the energy from you and give it to me without it hurting you somehow.
kurosakionefive: ... Uh.
DreadPenny: Exactly.
kurosakionefive: If you want to try this out, you'd better do so while Ansem's temporarily off on a holiday.
DreadPenny: If you're hurt, can you heal yourself?
kurosakionefive: Spiritually?
kurosakionefive: ... I think so.
kurosakionefive: Or at least, I hope.
DreadPenny: Then we should try it as soon as possible, before Ansem regroups.
kurosakionefive: Ookay.
DreadPenny: Mr. M and I will keep a close watch on your power, and if it seems I'm doing too much damage I'll cancel the spell immediately.
kurosakionefive: Right.
DreadPenny: It might be best if your friends are there as well...
kurosakionefive: Just in case, huh.
kurosakionefive: I hope Matsumoto can use some sort of healing Kidou.
DreadPenny: More knowledge of your kind's powers would be helpful, and if I could integrate your "kidou" into my spell it would make the transition much smoother.
DreadPenny: You're no normal ghost, after all.
DreadPenny: Would you happen to have Ms. Matsumoto's contact information?
kurosakionefive: she's beautybedamned on this network thing, if I'm not wrong.
DreadPenny: Thank you..
kurosakionefive: Anytime.
DreadPenny: She's not on now at any rate.
kurosakionefive: Yeah.
DreadPenny: I'll catch her in person soon, then.
kurosakionefive: *nods*
kurosakionefive: Just.. let me know when you're ready?
DreadPenny: Of course.
DreadPenny: And relax, I'll do my best not to cause you any harm.
DreadPenny: And I'll keep thinking of an alternative.
kurosakionefive: Alright.
DreadPenny: There's some blood magic I've been pondering about..
DreadPenny: Don't worry, you don't get cut.
DreadPenny: Just me.
kurosakionefive: I doubt this could be any worse than what Aize- what?
kurosakionefive: Oh.
DreadPenny: But I hate to use it, so messy.
DreadPenny: Might be the quickest way, actually.
DreadPenny: The only Japanese I know is magical, after all.
DreadPenny: It would be appropriate...
kurosakionefive: Oookay.
kurosakionefive: As long as nobody else gets hurt, I suppose.
DreadPenny: Nope.
DreadPenny: I won't even need to cut myself if we can get some butter...
kurosakionefive: I can probably take it. Byakuya's Senbonzakura was just.. whoa.
DreadPenny: Well, steal some butter.
kurosakionefive: Butter?
DreadPenny: Another of Jodie's wacky spells.
DreadPenny: It steals butter..
kurosakionefive: To the kitchen, then.
DreadPenny: She was alive 400 years ago, you have to give her some leeway.
kurosakionefive: Or we could have just taken some during breakfast.
DreadPenny: Anyway, a clause in the spell states that if it's cut with a murder weapon, the butter will bleed.
kurosakionefive: ...
DreadPenny: And my knife was used as an Athame by the bitch witch.
DreadPenny: Sacrificial dagger.
kurosakionefive: So, that's the murder weapon we're talking about?
DreadPenny: Yep.
kurosakionefive: Yeowch. Okay.
DreadPenny: It's one of those nasty wavy ones too. She was areal sadist, so glad she's dead.
kurosakionefive: Ugh, I can imagine.
DreadPenny: I bound her Demon Lord boss until it was past the time she was to fulfill her contract with it, by sacrificing the girl I babysit no less.
DreadPenny: So when I set it loose, it kind of ate her soul up.
DreadPenny: Killed the bitch and saved a little girl to boot.
DreadPenny: One of my finer moments.
kurosakionefive: Congratulations, then.
DreadPenny: There we are, butter. I had Mr. M sneak some up.
DreadPenny: *Sounds of a baby crying in pain are heard from Penny's room at this point.*
kurosakionefive: O o
DreadPenny: And we have blood!
kurosakionefive: ...
DreadPenny: Oh, the sound.
DreadPenny: Right, forgot about that.
DreadPenny: Sorry. Hope it didn't spook you.
kurosakionefive: Uhhhh... no, it's okay.
kurosakionefive: Do I need to get out of my body for this, or will your spell do it automatically?
DreadPenny: For the Fetish spell you will, for this spell I'm cooking up now, you won't.
DreadPenny: One method may put you in a lot of pain, the other requires us to get half naked and then I draw mystical sutra on us both in blood.
DreadPenny: So it's basically going to be uncomfortable either way.
kurosakionefive: Oookay.
kurosakionefive: Um. The half naked thing I can do, but you, I'm not so sure...?
kurosakionefive: *coughs*
DreadPenny: Oh, I can keep my bra on.
kurosakionefive: Um.
kurosakionefive: Okay.
DreadPenny: And it's only the upper body.
DreadPenny: And legs.
DreadPenny: This isn't a creepy Cult of Ecstasy or Verbena spell, this one will be a Penny Original.
kurosakionefive: Right, then.
DreadPenny: I'm working on the spell now. Mr. M makes a good research partner as he's been Familiar to more than one Mage in his time.
DreadPenny: I should be done soon...
kurosakionefive: D'yu want me to go over, then?
DreadPenny: That would be fine, yes.
kurosakionefive: Okay, I'll be there in a bit.
DreadPenny: I'll be setting things up.
kurosakionefive: Alright.

DreadPenny: Indeed.
DreadPenny: Reiatsu?
DreadPenny: I don't speak much japanese.
kurosakionefive: Eh, the spiritual energy.
DreadPenny: I see.
DreadPenny: Yes, the energy coming off of you. It's magnificent, I'll have you know.
kurosakionefive: Not the first time I've heard it.
kurosakionefive: But uh thanks.
kurosakionefive: I think.

kurosakionefive: Just the travelling from this world into that is a pain in the ass.
DreadPenny: Really?
DreadPenny: I usually use a mirror.
DreadPenny: Or run widdershins.
kurosakionefive: Eh, I'm not sure if that works.
DreadPenny: It works to get me into the Spiritual Realm normally, shouldn't be too different if I know where I'm going.
kurosakionefive: If it works, you gotta teach me, man.
kurosakionefive: I hate having to run for my damn life everytime I go through the senkaimon.
DreadPenny: I'm not sure if it would work with you, considering you're not a Mage.
DreadPenny: But there's no harm in trying.
kurosakionefive: Hn, figures.
DreadPenny: If your people are capable of magic, anyway.
kurosakionefive: Does that include Kidou?
kurosakionefive: Uh.
kurosakionefive: It's like binding magic. I can't really explain it properly. You should probably ask Matsumoto about that.
DreadPenny: Ah, the tall blonde with the magnificent bust.
DreadPenny: I should.
kurosakionefive: *coughs* Yeah.
DreadPenny: I'm used to Awakened magic, myself.
DreadPenny: I figure out what I want to do, decide how to do it, and it's done
DreadPenny: It's hardly ever all THAT easy, naturally.
kurosakionefive: Probably not.
kurosakionefive: I can't use Kidou, anyway.
DreadPenny: I see.
kurosakionefive: It's just Zangetsu and me.
DreadPenny: Zangetsu?
kurosakionefive: Yeah, that's the name of my zanpakutou.
DreadPenny: Is that that second spirit I feel around you sometimes?
kurosakionefive: Probably, yup.
DreadPenny: Fascinating.
DreadPenny: I had the feeling that your swords are not really swords.
kurosakionefive: Well they are just swords until you find out their names.
DreadPenny: If I had some Quintessence I could probably help beef up your blade.
DreadPenny: But that leads back to my original dilemma.
kurosakionefive: If you do find out some way to convert my reiatsu to this... Quintessence, um, feel free to make use of it.
DreadPenny: Thank you.
kurosakionefive: Hopefully it's as inexhaustible as it was back home.
DreadPenny: I've been pondering about making a Fetish or something and storing it there, then I could do something with it from there.
kurosakionefive: ... What's a Fetish?
DreadPenny: A sexual predilection.
DreadPenny: All right, that was a pun.
DreadPenny: A Fetish is merely an object that contains magical or spiritual power.
kurosakionefive: I see.
kurosakionefive: So... what am I supposed to do?
DreadPenny: Well...
DreadPenny: I've been reading up in my books that I have with me and I've come up with a spell that might just work.
DreadPenny: Unfortunately, it came out of Jodie's grimoire...
DreadPenny: She's the Nephandus witch I told you about. A Mage who sold her soul to a demon lord for more power.
DreadPenny: I defeated her, twice, and took most of her stuff.
kurosakionefive: Oh. Nice going.
DreadPenny: Thank you.
DreadPenny: Demonic power wasn't enough to help her beat me, it seems.
DreadPenny: But the spell might be dangerous for you...
DreadPenny: That's why I'm hesitant to use it.
kurosakionefive: Dangerous like how?
DreadPenny: It's common magical knowledge that spirits, ghosts and other bodiless entities can be held within wood, ivory and crystal statues.
DreadPenny: Jodie came up with a spell to trap a ghost and then use it as a sort of medival battery.
DreadPenny: She was fond of manipulating the dead, she even had a dead man's hand as a servant.
kurosakionefive: ... Okay, that's just gross.
DreadPenny: He wasn't so bad, I had him as a friend for a while until Jodie destroyed him. Such an odious bitch she was.
DreadPenny: Anyway, all I have to do is carve a statue in your likeness and then trap you in it, from there I can use the statue as a fetish.
DreadPenny: Reversing the spell to let you out would be simple.
DreadPenny: But while you're in it I have no idea how the spell would take the energy from you and give it to me without it hurting you somehow.
kurosakionefive: ... Uh.
DreadPenny: Exactly.
kurosakionefive: If you want to try this out, you'd better do so while Ansem's temporarily off on a holiday.
DreadPenny: If you're hurt, can you heal yourself?
kurosakionefive: Spiritually?
kurosakionefive: ... I think so.
kurosakionefive: Or at least, I hope.
DreadPenny: Then we should try it as soon as possible, before Ansem regroups.
kurosakionefive: Ookay.
DreadPenny: Mr. M and I will keep a close watch on your power, and if it seems I'm doing too much damage I'll cancel the spell immediately.
kurosakionefive: Right.
DreadPenny: It might be best if your friends are there as well...
kurosakionefive: Just in case, huh.
kurosakionefive: I hope Matsumoto can use some sort of healing Kidou.
DreadPenny: More knowledge of your kind's powers would be helpful, and if I could integrate your "kidou" into my spell it would make the transition much smoother.
DreadPenny: You're no normal ghost, after all.
DreadPenny: Would you happen to have Ms. Matsumoto's contact information?
kurosakionefive: she's beautybedamned on this network thing, if I'm not wrong.
DreadPenny: Thank you..
kurosakionefive: Anytime.
DreadPenny: She's not on now at any rate.
kurosakionefive: Yeah.
DreadPenny: I'll catch her in person soon, then.
kurosakionefive: *nods*
kurosakionefive: Just.. let me know when you're ready?
DreadPenny: Of course.
DreadPenny: And relax, I'll do my best not to cause you any harm.
DreadPenny: And I'll keep thinking of an alternative.
kurosakionefive: Alright.
DreadPenny: There's some blood magic I've been pondering about..
DreadPenny: Don't worry, you don't get cut.
DreadPenny: Just me.
kurosakionefive: I doubt this could be any worse than what Aize- what?
kurosakionefive: Oh.
DreadPenny: But I hate to use it, so messy.
DreadPenny: Might be the quickest way, actually.
DreadPenny: The only Japanese I know is magical, after all.
DreadPenny: It would be appropriate...
kurosakionefive: Oookay.
kurosakionefive: As long as nobody else gets hurt, I suppose.
DreadPenny: Nope.
DreadPenny: I won't even need to cut myself if we can get some butter...
kurosakionefive: I can probably take it. Byakuya's Senbonzakura was just.. whoa.
DreadPenny: Well, steal some butter.
kurosakionefive: Butter?
DreadPenny: Another of Jodie's wacky spells.
DreadPenny: It steals butter..
kurosakionefive: To the kitchen, then.
DreadPenny: She was alive 400 years ago, you have to give her some leeway.
kurosakionefive: Or we could have just taken some during breakfast.
DreadPenny: Anyway, a clause in the spell states that if it's cut with a murder weapon, the butter will bleed.
kurosakionefive: ...
DreadPenny: And my knife was used as an Athame by the bitch witch.
DreadPenny: Sacrificial dagger.
kurosakionefive: So, that's the murder weapon we're talking about?
DreadPenny: Yep.
kurosakionefive: Yeowch. Okay.
DreadPenny: It's one of those nasty wavy ones too. She was areal sadist, so glad she's dead.
kurosakionefive: Ugh, I can imagine.
DreadPenny: I bound her Demon Lord boss until it was past the time she was to fulfill her contract with it, by sacrificing the girl I babysit no less.
DreadPenny: So when I set it loose, it kind of ate her soul up.
DreadPenny: Killed the bitch and saved a little girl to boot.
DreadPenny: One of my finer moments.
kurosakionefive: Congratulations, then.
DreadPenny: There we are, butter. I had Mr. M sneak some up.
DreadPenny: *Sounds of a baby crying in pain are heard from Penny's room at this point.*
kurosakionefive: O o
DreadPenny: And we have blood!
kurosakionefive: ...
DreadPenny: Oh, the sound.
DreadPenny: Right, forgot about that.
DreadPenny: Sorry. Hope it didn't spook you.
kurosakionefive: Uhhhh... no, it's okay.
kurosakionefive: Do I need to get out of my body for this, or will your spell do it automatically?
DreadPenny: For the Fetish spell you will, for this spell I'm cooking up now, you won't.
DreadPenny: One method may put you in a lot of pain, the other requires us to get half naked and then I draw mystical sutra on us both in blood.
DreadPenny: So it's basically going to be uncomfortable either way.
kurosakionefive: Oookay.
kurosakionefive: Um. The half naked thing I can do, but you, I'm not so sure...?
kurosakionefive: *coughs*
DreadPenny: Oh, I can keep my bra on.
kurosakionefive: Um.
kurosakionefive: Okay.
DreadPenny: And it's only the upper body.
DreadPenny: And legs.
DreadPenny: This isn't a creepy Cult of Ecstasy or Verbena spell, this one will be a Penny Original.
kurosakionefive: Right, then.
DreadPenny: I'm working on the spell now. Mr. M makes a good research partner as he's been Familiar to more than one Mage in his time.
DreadPenny: I should be done soon...
kurosakionefive: D'yu want me to go over, then?
DreadPenny: That would be fine, yes.
kurosakionefive: Okay, I'll be there in a bit.
DreadPenny: I'll be setting things up.
kurosakionefive: Alright.
