Quote: Prompt 8 (Marshmallow Snow): Fresh-fallen snow coats Destiny City. It’s pristine and crisp, and it crunches as you walk through it. It may be a few inches deep, but it doesn’t seem to go above your calves when walking. At first, it’s easy enough to walk through, but gradually you realize that it’s getting harder to move. Every step you take feels like the snow is pulling you back in, and if you get a good look you might realize that sticky white fluff is clinging to you. The more you walk, the more it pulls, until you’re almost completely stuck. Something about the snow smells oddly sweet, and the tacky, marshmallow-like snow seems like it’s suddenly become a prison. The more you try to break free, the stickier it gets, and you’d better hope you don’t fall down. The more you struggle the harder it is to escape, but if you manage to stay still for a few minutes, the marshmallow will freeze and crystallize. When you move again, the snow will turn into a powdery dust and you can break free easily. The only good thing about this is that you won’t starve if you get trapped–the snow tastes just like marshmallows.

Silistra hadn't gone into the snow yet it was around her but she was searching for people who may have been drained by the forces of chaos so she was looking around the clubs and bars and near the snow but she hadn't gotten into it just yet. She worried about Civilan being drained. It was a terrible thing and she didn't really understand why the negaverse did it all the time. She honestly didn't really understand anything the negaverse did, then again she didn't always know what the order side was doing either they were always just fighting the chaos side, she wished things could settle down for a just a little bit, why did they always have to fight?

Lifting and straining, Beatrix got her latest victim over the edge of the dumpster and let them fall in. Turning away and dusting off her hands to get the gross feeling of sticky booze off of her, she noticed a knight or something approaching. Stepping back a bit towards the fire escape, she waited to see if they were going to come down the alleyway. The snow was starting to pile up but luckily the guy she'd been draining had struggled a lot and messed up all the prints from her heels so hopefully they wouldn't immediately see her in her hiding spot.

Silistra thought she heard something so she went towards the sound and started to look around as she started to move into the snow to look around. She hadn't spotted the chaos member yet but she did feel like something was wrong. She frowned as she moved slowly she didn't really want to fight anyone she had been looking for civilians in need of her help. She had her lantern out which cast some light in the ally. She was not a very good fighter but she did her best and she was able to heal up afterwards ignoring the pain so she could get back to what she was doing. She decided not to call out to the person she was pretty sure was hiding she didn't really want them to come out and try to hurt her.

Moving forward, she felt a tug on her heel. Some of the snow was stuck to her and as she tried moving away from it, more started to cling. "What the ********> It was sticking to her already messy hair as well as she moved out from behind the dumpster and saw the knight. Going through the list of palettes in her head, she figured they were one of the ones that had the goth vibes she liked. They had some sort of lantern thing and as she got closer she wondered who decided to let someone who looked like they came from the Amish country into the city.
Tugging and pulling, she pulled a pair of scissors from her subspace and went to work freeing her hair from the mess. "Don't just stand there ******** help me get this crap off me!" Hey if it worked it worked, she could get out and then maybe get another starseed. She just needed them close enough to use her magic.

Silistra frowned she could see the corrupt senshi and she could hear their demand and she wanted to help she really did, but a corrupt senshi filled with chaos it would be dangerous getting close to them.. "Umm, I would like to help you, but I'm pretty sure you will hurt me if I come close to you." She said softly. The senshi was stuck in the snow which was really weird but it was good for SIlistra that they were separated by the snow. "Besides if I came to try to pull you out I would get stuck as well and how would that help you?" She asked in a gentle tone. This clearly was a foolish conversation since standing here chatting with the angry senshi was most likely not a good idea at all. "Umm, maybe I should go.." She said backing away slowly.

Beatrix just stared at them as she kept cutting away locks of messy black and green hair. It was worse than getting gum stuck in there and as the snow fell, more and more of it started to stick to her. "Fine truce, and uhhh how about.... I give you this and you can pull the dude out of the dumpster and pop it back in so he can be on his merry ******** way?" Pulling a starseed out of her subspace, she held it out toward the knight while gritting her teeth. "Like I don't know maybe something to melt this s**t? Or whatever spooky magic you probably have up your sleeve." It was risky but she didn't really like the idea of being buried alive under snow. Waving her arm with the starseed out towards them. "You know you wanna save them~ If you don't trust me, just take a look right in the dumpster. It's not like I can grab ya or anything. Hell, I don't even think I can use my magic like this because of this stupid crap." Hopefully, the bluff would work, just bring them in close enough to do something or if they could actually get her outta here then she'd keep on the truce and get the hell out of the area before any more of this stick snow started back up. "Pretty please..." Finally freeing her hair enough to crack her neck and not have it be at a weird angle from her weighed-down hair.

Silistra narrowed her eyes "No you first put it back in him or I will not help you." She was firm she would leave them stuck in the snow for as long as it lasted if she didn't do as she said and it was clear by the look on her face. "Oh I believe you hurt people, you seem the type." He shyness forgotten in her anger at innocent people being harmed. "What did they do to you to deserve such a fate?" She shook her head "I don't believe you on that, release them and then I will find a way to help you otherwise you are on your own with your starseeds." She would save the people if she could but the first thing about saving people was protecting yourself.

Oh she was getting prickly, Beatrix really hated knights and this one was grinding her gears. "I can't even like freaking take a step forward. How am I supposed to reach all the way over there huh? Fine, I'll toss it, better catch it or he'll die~" Wiggling her arm a bit, she tossed the starseed at them.
"He was drugging people at the bar, trying to take advantage of women. They all were." Hissing as she spoke, it made her sick that someone would want such a piece of trash to live. Was this knight getting pissy with her over this? Beatrix started to wonder if the boost from snacking on a few more starseeds would be enough to get out of this snow but with how stuck she felt, it would probably end with a few broken things here and there if it didn't give when she tugged.

Silistra was careful to catch the starseed and she went forward careful to avoid the snow as best she could and moving calmly and slowly through the goo when she had to touch it so she wouldn't get too stuck then she climbed into the dumpstire to replace the starseed. "It dosen't matter what he did, you don't have the right to take his core." Her words echoed from the bin. Once he woke she sent the horrid human stumbling off. He likely was a bad person or perhaps the corrupt senshi lied to her. She had no way of knowing. Once that was done she opened the lid and moved over to the senshi. "Alright now take my hands, remember I'm the only one here to help you, so don't hurt me or I will leave you." She warned. She would have to get her lamp quickly if they did attack her.

Grumbling, she took their hands after sending her scissors back to subspace. "Alright alright, I got it I got it jeez. Just get me outta here." She'd loosened the straps around her thighs so she could be freed from her heels and stockings. Hopefully, that would be enough since she'd chopped off her hair where it had gotten stuck to the fallen snow. Just a bit longer, once she was out she could send her creature after them. Just a little roughing up for making her wait in the snow and for letting that piece of trash go free for the night. Maybe just a tap to that starseed of theirs but she'd honor at least part of the agreement and not hurt them, much.

Silistra was ready to defend herself if she needed to, she planned to bean the corrupt in the head with her lamp if she needed to. She didn't trust them at all and she wasn't planning to suggest they seek to be purified but perhaps she could distract them by bring that up. "Why do you want to live like this? Why not seek a royal and stop being a corrupt senshi?" She asked after she pulled the corrupt into the dumpter with her, they were lucky it was empty at this time. The man not so much since he likely was scrapped and bruised from being throw in. As she spoke she pulled out her weapon so she could fight if she had to.

Feeling herself freed from the stuck shoots and stockings, she leaned back against the inside edge of the dumpster the night lectured her. Gritting her teeth, she glared at them. "I've met a royal, real b***h. I like things as they are." Crossing her arms as she saw them pull out their lamp thing. Well if they were raring to go then shame on her for holding out. "Hold her still." A cold little smile crossed her face as the dumpster filled with fog, that familiar laugh echoing louder in the confined space. Whispered warnings filled the space, in a language long forgotten as it surrounded the knight. It felt good, felt right to be this way as she watched and waited for them to wrap the knight up so she could reach in without worrying about being grappled back. MiddyGlow Beatrix's Embrace A dark fog radiates out from Beatrix, a shadowy figure appears behind the enemy and whispers something before wrapping them in its cold body. They can clearly see the armor and fact that the figure is headless. It disappears with a laugh as the magic fades. Radius is 8 feet. Effect and illusion lasts for 25 seconds and can be used twice per battle

Silistra knew this wasn't going to end well as she tried to get away from the corrupt senshi and her magic. She didn't like this situation at all. She attempted to swing out her arm with her lamp in order to hit the senshi and keep them from doing the summons, but she doubted she had time or space to do much of anything.

The lamp glanced off the arm of her creature as she leaned in, the annoyance clearly present on her face while she reached her hand forward and brushed her fingers against their starseed. It felt good, like something she wanted to steal away but after all the struggle from the snow, she was tired. They'd helped her anyway, after enough delays. "Check the dumpsters more often, I like it when people see my handiwork. Next time, I might not be as nice~" One solid tap with her nail on their starseed and she pulled back and focused on an alleyway just a bit further away. Far enough for them not to follow but close enough that she could take a nice easy stroll while powered down to get something cheap to eat before continuing on. And like that, she was gone from the dumpster and that sticky snow.
