Steel Sky (Adelle/Mind Flayer)


"I am still the one who grants you this power, and I don't want you to burn yourself out with the power until you can maintain and control with some proficiency. Too much usage of the powers can have detrimental effects for your body and mind in the beginning stages. Train, but do not overdo it. I don't want to see the potential in you wasted in such a manner." Malpha would throw some figurative cold water on Adelle's ambitions about her new powers, while simultaneously encouraging her a bit.

The fires in her hand could be made into a stream of vaguely bladed shape, though it would probably not be a literal fire sword capable of cutting just yet, more of a focused stream like a short-range flamethrower.
 
"I understand Malpha. Thank you. It never hurts to ask too, I've always found," Adelle would reply, and looking like she was starting to understand how she could go about doing all of her new powers.

When she attempted her flaming sword, and found it wasn't quite That the fiery sword that she wanted, but it was still a bit of a flamethrower. "Alright well that wasn't quite what I was expecting. But it's still awesome nonetheless," Adelle would comment more to herself than anything, before looking to Kathia. "Now... let's see how I can manipulate this magic that you gave me, Kathia," she would add and looked to the nearby wall and sent a force punch out at said wall.
 
The attempt at the physical force punch turned out just fine, basically looking like Adelle had magically extended the reach of her fist's impact across the room as some of the dust on the wall flew off as a result. "Looks pretty good to me. You can telekinesis light things nearby in the beginning too, Very handy for getting that towel you misplaced when you got into the shower. Or maybe a beer from the fridge. Assuming you can open the door first, as you need to see what you want to move right now."
 
"Oh? Let's try then..." Adelle commented, and looked around the room, and would try and pull, slowly, one of the dusters Nina would use to brush hair off of whoever she was cutting their hair.

If the maneuver worked out, she would grab the little duster thing and playfully flicked it across Malpha's tummy in a joking manner, before she would then ease the brush back to where it had been sitting. "Hmm... this is really cool, heh," Adelle chuckled softly as she looked excited about the fact she could use magic.
 
The duster would move just fine with the minor telekinesis, going over where it was guided and earning Adelle a raised eyebrow look from Malpha as the thing barely did anything as she was wearing that multi-layer dress of hers. It was easy to imagine that she was probably having some very motherly thoughts about children and their games from that look and the following sigh.

"The things you see in this castle. Somehow there's always something unexpected going on..." Nina would think aloud, having settled down on the couch next to Shiori.
 
Adelle was happily testing the limits of her current abilities, and after a couple of minutes, she would stop and with a bit of a grin she'd look over at Malpha and Kathia. "Sorry, heh, was just testing the limits of what I can handle. Stress testing, kind of," Adelle said to the more motherly of the two demonesses.

"Alright, so... what now?" Adelle would ask, unsure just what would be happening now that she had been gifted these abilities.
 
"I don't have anything particular just yet. Remain true to yourself, and practice the art. You'll see me when I have something more specific I need from you." Malpha would not ask for anything right then, most likely just wanting to give Adelle time to get used to her gift and practice before she made her do something for her own goals, as mysterious and grand those could be. And with those being her last words for then, she stepped back into some sudden pillars of bright light that appeared all around her. Once those lights were gone, so was she.

That would leave Adelle in the company of the rest of them, Shiori and Nina looking on with interest what would be next, Shiori maybe more than the insectoid lady was. For her part, Kathia was possibly not sure what to do as she was just kinda looking around awkwardly, not really looking like a mighty pact maker.
 
Adelle looked to Malpha and gave her a nod, very clearly liking the fact that Malpha was being almost like a mother to her, or maybe a big sister or aunt, rather. It really made her feel like she had an almost guardian angel, in a manner of speaking, watching over her. Adelle watched Malpha seemingly vanish in a pillar of light, before looking to the others. As soon as Malpha was gone, Adelle grinned a bit and shifted herself over behind Kathia and began to feel her up like Shiori had, giving her boobies a nice firm and possessive squeeze.

"Mmm... your tits are as good as mine to squeeze, heh. Sometimes I just grab and play with mine, but with these I've got another pair to grope. Just like with Shiori's..." Adelle would say with a grin as she stood there behind Kathia, in full view of Shiori and Nina. "Anyway though... what can we do for some fun around here? Or should I maybe consider preparing to leave? I don't really know, to be honest, and Ragvald hasn't mentioned anything specific that he'd like me to do right off either. Though I'm not against doing something for him of course," she'd add after a few moments, looking to Shiori and Kathia both.
 
"Looks like you are already having some right there." Shiori would comment as she saw the interaction between Adelle and Kathia. "I mean, if you had a meeting with Rags, surely he made some deals with you. It would probably be you who knows of what that was. But I think you have been here for a while, so it might not be a bad thing to leave soon-ish? Unless you had something you still wanted to do around here?"

Kathia, for her part, was taking being molested the best she could, looking away if Adelle looked at her.
 
Adelle would look at Kathia with a smirk. "You're a succubus, hon. You love this and you know it. No need to feel embarrassed about it really," Adelle whispered to Kathia and kissed her on the neck, before glancing at Shiori and giving a nod. "Aye, I have been here a while. I'm... honestly not sure how long, but it feels like hours, if not days almost," she'd add to Shiori before deciding it might be best to head home for now.

"Hmm... Shiori can you escort me to Ragvald please, so I may ask him if he has anything he needs of me before I leave, please? If he doesn't, then it might be best for me to head on out. Though... well, I'll let you know where I live so you can come visit, if you want, hehe," Adelle would tell Shiori, figuring that Malpha and Kathia both would be able to find her easily enough and where she lived, if they wanted to.
 
"I guess I could take you? Maybe have a brief discussion with him myself too if he had something to say about the library." Shiori would agree to be an escort while Adelle was still there. As she got off the couch, Adelle could feel Kathia grabbing her other hand and taking it off of her, before she reached inside her own cleavage to pull out a leash that was attached to her collar already and sticking it into the busty girl's hand without saying a word. Somehow this felt like it would be a part of Kathia's pact activities if Shiori's earlier words were something to go by.
 
Adelle would give Kathia a smile as she was handed the collar and leash. She didn't say anything at first, but did lean in and kiss Kathia right on the lips in a more than passionate manner, giving her butt a playful, yet firm squeeze. "We'll have some fun later. But for now..." Adelle would whisper after a minute or so of making out with Kathia, before drawing Kathia's hand up to where her mark was at to rub Kathia's hand across it for a moment, after putting the collar on the succubus's neck, and attaching the leash to it. "Alrighty then... let's go home, hmhm," Adelle would giggle softly to Kathia and giving the leash a little playful tug.

After that, Adelle would go with Shiori to find Ragvald, idly wondering what Shiori had to talk to him about.

The trio would go on to leave Nina to her own devices, though the roach woman would likely have things to do again soon. With Kathia trailing behind then a little, they went ahead to the main hall.

In the grand hall, the table from earlier had not been cleared away, still being in use as Ragvald was having another meeting by the looks of it. In addition to himself and his chosen bride, two other women were there, the first new face being a fancily-dressed blonde that looked like she'd be a regular inhabitant of this place given her style of dress. Looking at her directly made Adelle uneasy though, the new magical part in her suppressing itself as she stepped within a certain distance of this woman. Shiori too seemed bothered by her presence, which was a rare new emotion to see on her.

The other new one was a more outlandish one, dressed in a more revealing white slit dress and having obvious body modifications. Her feet had triple blade claws instead of toes, and the feet looked like permanent heels over all. In addition to that, she had a clearly visible left cyber arm made of sleek, striped white material, ball joints and all. On her right thigh was a holster that held a large, blocky handgun inside. A white tiger tail could also be seen peeking from under her butt, the stripes matching her arm and the cat ears on her head.
 
Adelle was a bit unnerved by the sight of the fancy dressed blonde woman as she walked into the great hall. She... was hesitant, but also curious just what was causing her to be so uneasy about looking directly at her. It was almost as if she... well, could sense just how powerfully magical this woman was. Maybe? It was hard to tell, to be truly honest.

The other woman was quite interesting to look at, and was clearly intriguing. "Oh wow... they're both so beautiful, yet strange and frightening at the same time..." Adelle thought to herself as she followed Shiori into the great hall.

For the time being, Adelle let the leash fade from sight, though it was still magically gently tugging Kathis along behind her all the while. She would wait for Shiori to talk with Ragvald, before thanking him for the invitation he extended to her, giving him a very polite and graceful bow, yet she didn't hold it too long since he clearly didn't like to stand on ceremony that much. "Thank you for the kind gifts and the invitation you extended to me, Ragvald," Adelle would tell him as she did her polite and graceful bow/curtsy.
 
As they got to talking distance, a brief exchange would occur between Shiori and the blonde, the latter asking for a practice bout or two with the archiver, a clear intent to get that going right away very obvious as she would rise up from her chair only to have Ragvald grab her shoulder and tell her to sit back down. "You know I'm not that good without my magic, Rosalind, and you kinda turn all that off. You have to find your excitement somewhere else. Didn't you find any real opponents on your trip?" she'd ask them, a shrug and a disappointed look following the turn down. And that exchange was a quick explanation to what Adelle had felt when she got near Rosalind, the elegant vampire having something in or on herself that fizzled magic in her vicinity. While she had an ornate, delicate sword on her hip, the thing seemed ordinary enough, fanciness excepted.

For their part, Shiori and Ragvald only had a very brief informal exchange about the state of the archive and Ragvald not having been there in a while.

"But of course. If you find something of those things we talked about before, get into contact, and you can visit again." the vampire lord would accept the thanks, pointing out the other new woman in introductions. "Right, this is Erina, she's from another city out there that we were near some time ago. We have some business, and she's acting in an intermediary capacity between us and the people in that city who know about us." he'd give a quick info dump on this other woman who would stand up from her chair, suddenly looking slightly more intense as she was a good bit over 6 feet tall. Of course that wasn't really a new thing to Adelle herself, who had been with the immense Rose for a while now. When standing up, one could see the sensual form of this woman, the cyber parts somewhat pushing back against that attractiveness but hardly making her bad to look at. A further cybernetic detail could be picked out as she extended her right hand out to shake hands, the palm of the natural hand having a metal plate that looked like a flexible circuit board mounted in it. "A pleasure." she'd speak up with a low, seductive tone as her single visible eye met Adelle's, a cat-like smile visible as well.
 
"Oh, so that's what it is. She negates magic... interesting. I wonder if she could teach me how to do that..." Adelle thought to herself, before she politely spoke to Ragvald.

"Ah I see, it's a pleasure to meet you as well, my lady Erina. I'm Adelle," Adelle would say, giving a polite greeting/introduction to Erina, before doing the same to Rosalind. "Also lady Erina... you kind of remind me of someone, actually. There was a lady from a "sky city" or something that I've run into a couple of times in the past. She's intent on keeping certain technology out of the hands of the people on the surface, as she put it. I never caught her name, but you just kind of remind me of her in an odd sort of way," Adelle would say to Erina as she looked at the cybernetic parts of her, after shaking her hand.

"And lady Rosalind, might you be able to somehow teach me how to do what you're doing with the magic in the air? That would be a Very handy technique in my line of work, especially when I've run into several magic users. Most of whom thankfully are friendly towards me. Though... not All of the mare however," Adelle asked Rosalind curiously.
 
Rosalind was quick to explain what she had done for her aura to do what it did. "My magic dampener? You just need to find an artifact that does that, then do a magic ritual to break it down and fuse it to your body. That's how I did it. Can't really use any magic afterwards if you do it though. But it was worth losing my magic, no sorcerous trickery will help anyone best me when it comes to the art of the sword now." the latter part suggesting that she was deeply invested in mastering her sword skills, and as she was a vampire, had probably done it for a good long time, making her a potentially devastating opponent to face in a fight.

"My city is very much on the ground, but I've heard of and even seen that sky city. I don't think anyone has ever managed to contact them, despite the city's leaders having more than a little interest towards what is going on there." Erina would rule out being from the looming sky city. Adelle could see that her cybernetics seemed very high-class as there was no stains or scuffs on them, and the arm moved without any mechanical noise, doing so just as nimbly and fast as a normal human one. Aside from the obvious arm and feet, it seemed difficult to tell how much more on her was augmented and what was natural. "Don't think we have anyone like that in the employment of the city or the corpos, but there has been some reports from the police that have found small groups of city people dead with their cyber parts stripped off in secluded locations in the city and on the outskirts recently. While it could be the usual part thieves, these have apparently had some further details that made them stand out. But that is as much as I've heard..." she'd go on, a brush on her eye-covering hair briefly giving Adelle a view of her left eye, a red one with an aiming reticle on it that contrasted pretty hard against her right one and it's natural turquoise color.

"Mmm, well I'm not really a magic user myself, or wasn't until earlier. But even still... it would be a fantastic thing to have as a backup plan for someone that has overwhelming magical skill than myself," Adelle told Rosalind, clearly taking in what she said with interest as she made a mental note about it.

"Oh I see. Well my apologies on that. You merely reminded me of that one lady I ran into. But... that does sound pretty interesting actually. I recall spotting a couple of people in my travels who had clearly had some cybernetics on them. I wonder if they were ones that had those stripped of them," Adelle would say to Erina.
 
"If you really do want to do magic, don't think of this. You can't reverse the process after. At least I don't know a way, and I studied all the books in that library and more outside when I looked for the keys to make this happen." Rosalind would urge Adelle not to seek out what she had if she really wanted to maintain her magic skills, further adding to the idea just how serious her dedication to mastering sword fighting was.

"I have an idea where you might be from, and as someone who's been there a few times, I understand why you'd think that. That city has a lot of progressing to do when it comes to cybernetics. In my city, it's a lot more common to have these things, even for the regular city people."
 
"Mmm... that's true I guess. Perhaps the next time I'm here you might teach me a bit of swordplay. I could use the training... because there's someone that I desire to overcome, and they're... frightening to put it bluntly..." Adelle told Rosalind, looking quite thoughtful on the matter, before she glanced over to Erina.

"Truly? Interesting. Hmm... I've been wanting to travel a bit, but with how dangerous it is, I've been a bit too fearful of leaving the city to go too far," Adelle told Erina, wondering just where this other city she mentioned was exactly.
