[19:48.21] <Marianne> [23:02.13] <Marianne> "Does none of this strike your curiousity? My mother would likely just remove it and her... i'm not sure if thats wise, there are things we could gain from her knowledge. I am not too keen on her relationship with changelings though. You are right in that we should not separate... so what should we do? Become freinds with her
[19:48.21] <Marianne> and leave?"
[19:48.21] <Marianne> [23:21.46] * Rachna sighs deeply "That's all I got. I don't think I can fight this many. And protecting you from the vines and shit... So, I guess we play her game. Not that I know how. I've spent like... All my life cracking down on drug use and shit, and this stuff's clearly harmful... And she doesn't give a -fuck-. She didn't when you went all s
[19:48.21] <Marianne> tupid, at least."
[19:48.21] <Marianne> [23:27.47] <Marianne> "What, do you mean after I ate the bug? What did she say or do?"
[19:48.21] <Marianne> [23:29.11] * Rachna sniffs, "I carried you in there and said you were broken. She said you weren't and were only that way 'cause you wanted to be. She 'turned you back' to prove a point, and uh... I'm pretty sure you ruined it by not asking to be put back under or something."
[19:48.23] <Marianne> (repost)
[19:49.10] <Sophie-Work> (kk)
[19:49.43] <Marianne> "It was very relaxing at least... but quite frightening to realise how little control I had. I wonder how she did that. She keeps saying we do it to ourselves, but it must be her form of magic" she pondered "What now then? Escape?"
[19:52.52] * Rachna tips her head and huffs, shrugging, "Fuggin'... You think we can? Seems like the type of shit that'd piss her off, doesn't it? Unless there's some way we can... Y'know, -not- be seen searching around this wide open cave thing for a way out."
[19:55.58] <Marianne> "I think she's keeping us here because we aren't being honest with her, at least i'm not... maybe if I told the truth, she would open up some more... but that is dangerous" she stood in thought and looked at Rachna very seriously with her one good eye "What do you think?"
[19:58.51] * Rachna snorts and places her forehooves on her hips, "The buck should -I- know? I mean, if she knows she has the..." she pauses to make a shifty-eyed observation of their surroundings, "If she knew you were -princess- she might, y'know... Fuggin' think she's got a bargaining chip, right? Then you're a hostage."
[20:01.30] <Marianne> "There is a reason i'm in hiding and my title is not the whole of it." she leaned in closer and spoke very low "I've been... practicing things, forbidden things. Things that my mother might have me killed for else I become a threat to her power. This Deer can sense that. This power comes with an addiction that I cannot figure out how to sate"
[20:05.31] * Rachna blinks slowly and sighs, "Blood? It's blood, right? That's why she was like... Taunting you with it? I mean, if so then bitch already knows, right? And what would be worse if you admitted it? Whatever the fuck it is, I mean... I'd rather you tell her -that- than your position as princess, huh? I mean, worst case scenario is... What, we want to get out of here -more-?"
[20:08.39] <Marianne> "I've had to keep it a secret from you, from everypony. You can't let anyone know this. My life will be in danger, yours too, even your family. I don't know how my mother would react but it could go that far. Just know that whatever I tell the Deer, its going to be to satisfy her curiousity" she sighed and looked frustrated "I'm sorry you had to fi

[20:11.35] * Rachna snorts and rolls her eyes, "Right... I get the impression I wasn't supposed to 'find out' at all, but you don't have to be all coy and shit. I know what a fuggin' secret is, right? So, y'know... Don't worry, I guess? Just don't use any... 'Ancient forbidden vampony magic' on me or anything."

[20:16.38] <Marianne> "I don't think it would work on you. Listen close, haven't you wondered why my mother has so much power? Yet her talent is only mastery of the basics of magic? She has forbidden knowledge that she always kept a hooves length from my brother and I... and while he sits in his ivory towers, I have begun to work it out. I cannot work out how she deals
[20:16.38] <Marianne> with the addiction, it stops me from going too far, or from practicing anything serious... she must know some kind of ritual that blocked it and allowed her dark power to reach astronomical heights. If only I could talk to one who knows her close, like Marlene or..." she then lit up "Your mare! Miss Sundance!"
[20:19.40] * Rachna snorts and frowns heavily, "Fuggin'... Sunny? Listen, I'm sure she's had more than enough of... Whatever happenned with your mom. And I know -something- happenned. Something -bad-. I...  I don't fuggin' know how she'd react if you brought that shit up, and I'd really prefer she didn't have to, so can we maybe focus on the problem on hoof first?"
[20:21.28] <Marianne> "Right... right, of course" she sighed "Alright. I'll tell the truth to this Deer but I won't reveal my title, i'll still be your uhh... partner" she said the last part with great disdain "As far as she needs to know. Then maybe when she trusts us we can escape"
[20:22.55] * Rachna nods and rolls her eyes, "Hey, c'mon. It's not like I'm jumping with joy that they think I'm into teens or something... Let's get it over with."

[20:30.51] <Marianne> "Maybe we will part ways, or maybe I will take a daring trip to Elysium again.

What is going on here...""
[20:32.59] * Rachna snorts, "Fuck if I know. Might as well ask her 'stripes' magister, right? Whatever she means by that... Maybe she'll be more forthcoming once you're 'honest' with her. Or try to recruit you or... Some shit. I have no idea what a doe like that is planning..."
[20:34.37] <Marianne> "All the more reason to befriend her I think" she hoisted her soaked rifle on her back and looked around the cave, then started toward the temple again

[20:52.52] <Sophie-Work> *The temple was quiet now, it seemed many had trickled out to either sleep or pursue other fancies elsewhere in Nyloths domain. The doe herself wandered the rings of her throne room,  looking up at large beetles who fluttered around up high, their large wings buzzing loudly. WHen they entered, she turned to look at them, vines that'd been trailing along behind her settling still.*
