it's the ⓔⓒⓣ<3 (コスプレ) Back with a vengers!

[A Solid Nope]

Both. It's not one or the other. *Wasn't expecting to, you know, confuse her. Stops shaking quite so badly. The Stone quivers a moment, a ripple disturbing a calm lake.*

*Frowns.* I heard your voice in the water.

[Twarz Cienia]

*Can't understand that. Vivian IS the Lady of the Lake. But Molly is not the Stone. At least, not as she knew it.*

I called out.

*Not specifically to the Stone, but to any of the Faces. Thought she could sense Charon, and after such a long silence, that was almost unbelievable*

*Steps forward a little more, and the shadows beneath the chairs reach out toward Molly, sensing*

[A Solid Nope]

*And Molly answered. Feels her stomach bottom out. Doesn't back up again, but can feel those shadows creeping before she can see them. Turns to watch them writhe in ways shadows shouldn't move.* O-Oh.

*There are slight differences. Her Rules are not the same. The steady thrum of power sits quietly inside of Molly, a tremendous weight, but that magic is woven into Molly, as much a part of her as her own spirit is. Intertwined and inseparable.* Why did you call?

[Twarz Cienia]

*shrugs*
To see who would answer.

*That's not the whole answer. Charon is the one who caused this entire mess. Was hoping to find him and be done with him. But the Stone is something, at least*

Who is Molly?

[A Solid Nope]

*Shuffles awkwardly.* I am.

*Doesn't know how else to explain.*

[Twarz Cienia]

*The shadows surge, twining up Molly's legs in an almost solid mass*

Human? You've taken a host?

[A Solid Nope]

*Doesn't have time to react, drops her phone and starts struggling against the shadows. Panic immediately overtakes her.* I don't know what that means!!

*The whites of her eyes are more than visible.* What are you doing?!

[Twarz Cienia]

*Never intended those tendrils to hold anything. They evaporate, having sensed as much as they were able. Enough to detect the subtle differences indicating a different world*

I'm not doing anything but watching.

*closes the distance between them. The Stone has attached itself to something human. Not sure whether that means it ought to sit down. Carefully puts her hands on Molly's shoulders and tries to push her onto the couch*

*At the very least, knows there's another world beyond her own. One that's probably not in any better shape. The stretch goal*

[A Solid Nope]

*Sits. Where Vivian touches Molly, there lingers the feel of cold night. But she can't say no tk this woman.* .___.

*Fidgets with hed hands in her lap.* M'not in trouble, am I?

[They Cast Her Out]

*the lake.
********.
BOILS.*

*Doesn't take her time about this s**t; Spews up out of the depths like a Lovecraftian horror, wielding a blade to rival Excalibur*

Nimue. Get. Back.

[Twarz Cienia]

In trouble? With whom?

*Doesn't feel the girl's fear. Can see it. But doesn't understand it*

*Has a marginally better understanding of the Fae, though. Turns and blinks blandly at Morganna. Despite the display, doesn't seem to care much*

If I don't?

[A Solid Nope]

*Scrambles off of the couch as THE LAKE BOILS WHY IS THIS HAPPENING. Takes refuge behind a chair.* Nonononono why did I leave the Academy I am an idiot.

[They Cast Her Out]

Then you've infringed on my property.

*Specified Hobnobs as payment for cheese puffs. They were never provided. Means to stretch the potential implications of that to the full extent*

Even you can't subvert the working of the world, Nimue.

[Twarz Cienia]

*shifts faintly, form blurring. Skin takes on iridescent tones of violet and pink, reflecting the true form of the body she stole*

That's the point, isn't it? The working of the world is flawed. You should be standing with me, Morganna.

*eyes the sword*

If you strike me, you will only harm Morgause.

[A Solid Nope]

Whatdoido. WhatdoIdo. *Peeks up and over to look at this conflict, and her eyes fall to Morganna's blade. Shivers. Slowly stands, and tries not to make a peep.*

*But her head really hurts...*
