Re: Finding Peace (Hafnium)
Rolls
Krig happily leaned into Tamonten when drawn into the swordswoman's embrace, smiling nervously and giving a little coo when her neck was nipped. As nervous as she apparently was displaying such affection in front of the maids, Tamonten could feel her lover shivering with pleasure at the attention, her tail brushing against her skin as it wagged back and forth. She would place her hands upon Tamonten's hips as if intent on holding her there, but the tiny embrace would break easily when the swordswoman pulled away a moment after her suggestive quip. The maids both merely grinned, while Sensensiel carefully looked away with her cheeks nearly as scarlet as those of the two mess makers.
"Fair enough~ If I'd been in jail for a few days I'd probably try to make a nice big mess too!" Shorya said brightly after giving a light, fluttery giggle. "Psh, like you've ever needed a reason, or even an excuse to make a mess!" Niserie remarked dryly, prompting Shorya to laugh heartily. "Maybe... But I just can't help it when you're around Niss!" Shorya replied, and at that Niserie merely rolled her eyes and offered Tamonten an exasperated look, though the smirk on her face suggested that the blue-haired maid's comments weren't going completely unappreciated.
After the exchange between the two servants, the conversation would go in the direction of Sensensiel again, and Tamonten's worries about what she might have sired in the angel's womb added a tension to her mannerisms that wasn't missed by anyone in the room. "Ooooh, that sounds good! I wonder if they have ice cream here?" Sensensiel remarked at the mention of sweets, glancing at Shorya first, who seemed at a loss and shrugged, and then at Niserie who sadly shook her head. "We don't have any cows, so we can't produce anything dairy related except with... Ehhh.... Never mind, we just don't have any ice cream," she said, faltering and redirecting her line of thought fairly obviously as she opted to try and conceal something to which Shorya grinned.
What that something might be was to be left up to Tamonten's imagination, however, as she moved on to her next request of the blue haired angel, who adopted a curious expression. "Oh? What?" she asked, and then waited through Tamonten's elongated pause while the swordswoman tried to gather herself. Once Tamonten finally managed to spit out her issue, however, she adopted a wry grin. Krig somehow looked somewhere in the middle of scandalized, embarrassed, concerned, and curious all at once, while Niserie and Shorya traded a glance and then broke out into a fit of giggles. "You just keep making this better and better! Now I want to come to this party of yours too!" Shorya remarked brightly between fits, but while Krig would shoot the maid a warning glance - prompting her to giggle all the louder - Sensensiel wouldn't take her eyes or her sly smirk off of Tamonten.
"Oh?" she began innocently, "take responsibility?" Her hand slowly drifted to her still flat stomach and rubbed it for a moment, "for our child? The one you put in me yesterday?" Her amused tone and the smirk on her face might suggest that she was merely being flippant, but if she were teasing then it was flying in the face of her fairly unambiguous wording. "You needn't worry about it. Angels don't really go for the whole family concept! I wasn't raised by Elawdrin, for instance, merely birthed from her and then told about her. Besides that, you've got an idea of what we willingly walk into, having heard what happened to her and having seen me do all that I did to end her. It flies in the face of what you believe is right, I know, but any child I had by you would be an angel themselves, and... You don't need that sort of worry. You'd be better off not being involved, and to tell you the truth... So would our daughter. It's not anything wrong with you, but we... We don't really get much use out of mortal parents. You don't have the same experience, growing up and maturing.... And those of us with mortal parents tend to spend a lot more time fretting over them than our duties have room to permit when we know about them."
Sensensiel had maintained her flippant presentation at first, but her tone and expression had gradually shifted to one of complete seriousness, and around halfway through her grave explanation she had silenced the maids and caused Krig to look extraordinarily uncomfortable and turn her gaze straight down to the floor. "Besides," the angel continued with a spectacularly genuine return to her amused tone, "who says I'm even pregnant!? We can control that, just like demons," she shot a nod toward Shorya, who began to look uncomfortable and became as interested in the floor as Krig, "and who's to say that I left the switch on neutral? Though... If you'd like to be a donor, I'd take it as acceptable thanks for helping you out with the ritual to get that demon out of you! What do you think? Maybe after the party we can go back to your room and have a second round? This time, you can be the one with the leash and the blindfold! I'm sure you'd approve of that!" Her gaze flitted to Krig, who swept all expression from her face in the blink of an eye and looked at Sensensiel without really meeting her gaze.
It was into that incredibly awkward moment that the black-and-white striped alraune suddenly gasped and opened her eyes, drawing every gaze to her as she then shot up to a sitting position. Bereft of any clothes still, the mutated plant woman looked around the room - largely populated by demons or those resembling them - and adopted a look of horror. Power like that she had felt wielded only by Kringlicsly and Elawdrin before surged around her with as much suddenness as her awakening, motes of fiery darkness appearing around the panicked woman as the maids both tried to interpose themselves between the terror maddened alraune and Krig and Tamonten while scrambling to react. The black motes widened steadily, and the bedroom was suddenly filled with heat so hot that it would take an effort of will on Tamonten's part not to try and shield her face from it. The distant echo of a tremendous roar poured through the widening gates, a sound that might not yet shake the stone walls as it surely would when fully unleashed, but left Tamonten's very soul shaking with the instinctive dread of utterly helpless prey before an unstoppable predator. Beside her, Krig suddenly began to shake with terror that was instantly obvious upon her expression, but stood rooted to the spot without calling on any defense of her own.
The maids enacted magics of their own, throwing up defenses against what was to come that seemed far too flimsy to resist the power being called upon. Sensensiel got to her before it happened. Just as the motes of darkness seemed about to widen, to permit entrance to whatever horror the alraune's maddened terror had driven her to summon, a flick of power from the angel reached out and lashed against the simplistic patterns of energy that formed the widening black circles. Their structure broke instantly, shattering and banishing the heat and dread that had preceded them, and the energy that had made them backlashed against the newly awakened alraune. The plant's spirit shook as the magic shredded it more intensely than the dark power she had attempted to call upon, and her eyes briefly rolled up into the back of her head before she slumped back onto her bedding and began to convulse violently.
Sensensiel got to her first that time too, as the maids were momentarily stunned by the sudden end to the dire situation, though both Niserie and Shorya quickly moved to help restrain the alraune so that she couldn't damage herself further during her violent seizure. It took over a minute before it was over, and once her violent shudders had come to an end the alraune lay panting on her back for another few moments. Eventually, however, her eyes would flit open, take in the figures gathered around her that could easily include Tamonten if she'd moved to help the maids and Sensensiel, much calmer than they had been when she'd initially awakened. "Where am I?" she whispered, her voice a harsh but faint whisper, and though she still looked frightened she no longer looked panicked.

The alraune wakes up and activates Black Dragon X = 8 with everyone in the room other than her as targets. Sensensiel counterspells.
