Oracle took the thermos and basket of sweets from the woman in pink and simply nodded to her in thanks. He made no other move to acknowledge or thanks her, or really interact with her in any way. Turning to Freya, he smiled and bent down to be at eye level with her, "Well then, lets start at the vault and work our way from there. Your parents should be easy enough to track." With that he ruffled the young girl's hair and set off from Emmy, leaving her alone. As they walked, Oracle unscrewed the lid of the thermos and dumped the Tea inside into a near by plant. He didn't trust anything that Emmy gave for food or drink, mostly because he wasn't sure if it would cause him to change. Freya had been fine so far, but children were naturally positive anyway, so even if there were any effects she should be immune to them.
Freya gave a nod agreeing with her uncle and gave a soft laugh as he ruffled her hair, she took a moment to brush it back into place with her tiny hands. She would walk besides her uncle, having to hurry a little since he would be able to take longer strides than she could being a kid, that meant to keep up she had to purposely walk faster than she usually did. She took notice of her uncle tossing away the tea her aunt gave him but she didn't question it, he had his reasons she was certain. Freya couldn't help but notice there was quite a few people around in the throne room, with the time she spent with her aunt and uncle at the tea party it seemed the place had almost filled with people however she wouldn't get to meet any of them yet since they where heading back to the Vault. Once they reached the doors of the Vault they would appear shut, at least up until Freya walked close enough and they opened on their own for her. "Here we are..." She stated, her brows furrowed, blue eyes showing her worries once more, she grasped at the hem of his shirt in a manner to feel some comfort, she was already comforted knowing that he was helping her but she needed some reassurance he wasn't going to vanish too. She gently tried to lead him into the vault.
Again, her first instinct was to defend herself, but to her surprise the reanimated dead were not after the Sin and her tasty brain meats, but instead focused on holding whatever it was outside at bay. The appearance of the little girl startled M, both because of her hair and the possibility that she might be controlling the zombies. "Uh hi and... Thanks I'll... Go find him then." The slams against the door had made her decision for her, truth be told. Why fight someone else's demons? Or was it even a demon? She didn't know.
Confident in her steps, she barely noticed how dangerous such a descent should be. Risking one last glance at the door and its defenders, she took the first step, letting the long back of her skirt trail over the steps behind her. Since its short front left her legs free and exposed, she didn't bother to gather it into her gloved hands. Scion? What in the hell is that? As she hurried down the steps and her clicking heels signaled her arrival, she let her mind wander a bit. Had there always been a core? Had it been added after her time? If so, why was it feeling so... Familiar? No, that wasn't right. It was merely the Sin Energy that felt familiar. She'd held it and the fork twice after all, so why shouldn't it?
With her mind so in the clouds, it was a wonder that she made it to the bottom step without tripping.
≯▬▬▬ﺴ Gluttony ﺴ▬▬▬≮ ________________
I feel the dream in me expire
and there’s no one left to blame it on
I hear you label me a liar ‘cause I can’t seem to get this through
You say it’s over, I can sigh again, yeah
Why try to stay sober when I’m dying here
She stood at the bottom of the Chasm, met with only total darkness before eyes began to appear around her, circling and with a few flashes of light she would see teeth gnashing at her. Predators intimidation tactics, though they kept their distance, able to detect she was a much stronger predator. The sound of footsteps approaching echoed forth, along with the sound of a male whistling a jaunty tune. Before long, the eyes parted before an orange set of eyes, with a wide grin. "So how'd yah get in? I thought I locked tha door lass. Bah no bother." Came his voice, slightly accented and masculine. Light erupted from his direction as he summoned Famine, the Thermal edge burning brightly with orange flames as he leaned on the massive Fork casually. He had a feminine figure, long red hair just like the young girl from before, and twin tails twice his height of six foot coiled to and fro behind him. His eyes were locked on hers with a hungry curiosity, the Yin and Yang style irises spinning slowly and hypnotically. His nostrils flared once, and his grin faltered just a hair. "I dont think we have managed to meet yet dear sister, A pleasure lass, I be called Jack aside from the obvious." His stance had a slight tension to it, though his tone never left it's aloof ways.
And I am aware now of how
everything’s gonna be fine one day Too late, I’m in hell
I am prepared now,
seems everyone’s gonna be fine One day too late; just as well
Much like a cat, the woman could see fairly well in low light areas. Unfortunately total darkness was a different beast entirely. At the teeth snapping, she bared her own, easily sensing that the creatures they belonged to were lower on the food chain than she was. And then the orange gaze fixed itself upon her and their owner spoke in an odd manner.
His form drew her attention before his eyes did, and she took her time returning her violet irises to a polite location. "A pleasure," she echoed softly at first as she took in the sight of him. His curiosity would likely equal her own as her hand extended towards him to shake. "People usually call me M." Rather than give her usual self-introduction, she took note of the tightening of his muscles and got to the point. "I came looking for you to offer you and yours the leftover treats I had only..." She could almost hear the chuckle again. "Now they're gone. I was told to warn you about the... Scion?"
|Grumbles and snags his neck to give a rough hug|
Your starry butt is lucky that I luff chu.
|Squints and hisses slightly|
Do turn down the light tho...
