Demon Parenting 101 - Rhosewen gets grounded, Galen gets air

[2018-09-30 01:47] *[user]Demoness Rhoswen[/user] She focused on Kaionai now, tilting her head at him those white curls falling around her face a bit more as she listened to him speak. She blinks for a few moments as he explains in detail about what exactly this was....some of it caused her eyes to open rather wide and those crimson lips to part opens. It wasnt as if she didnt know the organs were for reproductive purposes she just....didnt realize that mating was quite like that. Her cheeks actually begin to burn as he goes into more detail those snow white skined lines growing redder by the second.... [color=purple]"Ah....well then. Ah...um...yes. Okay I will...make sure things fit...where...they should fit...and what not..Dont worry about it."[/color]She nods her head and looks back to that plate of cookies, the rush of the relaxants within having suddenly had a rush of wearing off. She lifts another and gnaws a fangs into it. [color=purple]"I dont think...that before now it was a relevant thing...and not something I have ever been interested in."[/color]
[2018-11-17 20:09] [user]Galen Striker[/user]: [color=blue]"It's healing magic, some training I picked up during my time with Lady Bala. It comes in hand from time to time, though I usually merge it with other techniques to make better use of it."[/color]

He returned to leaning against the wall, watching her a little bit now that her hand was healed.

[2018-11-17 20:18] [user]Mayo[/user]: [color=orange]“Your subjects grow more and more interesting by the day, dear Rhoswen… I must say, I like the aspects on this one. And conversing without the need of sedation or restraint? Quite a milestone indeed.. I wouldn’t have thought humans would serve such a fine base for the tenacious tendencies of your experimentation. I always thought them far too fragile.. Now what are you calling this one?…”[/color]

The elder demon seemed to just bleed into existence in a light step traversing through the shadows. Both hands were held behind his back, lanky arms at rest and head slightly bowed with ever a small hunch to just peer upon Galen with that dark gaze of red irises nestled within black looming from behind a pair of small framed spectacles. The sheer radiating presence of utter darkness as well as the crimson markings curling about his eyes left no doubt. Mayo was a Demon God.
[2018-11-17 20:23] [user]Demoness Rhoswen[/user]: [color=purple]"Is that so? Hmm...its far different from any of the magics or techniques I  have at my own disposal, though demons do heal amazingly fast over the course of a few days if they are damaged heavily. Shroom was healed up in about three or four days after his fight with Fu....t[sub]hat was a bad day[/sub]."[/color]

She mutters softly before tucking her hands into her pockets. However she goes....stock still right infront of Galens eyes when she hears that voice, you can almost [i]feel[/i] the sweat drop coming from her...And suddenly, before she turns around you see that her face smiles that sweet smile she saves for.....[i]certain occasions[/i].

[color=purple]"Maaayo, welcome back into my Lab. Aren't they [i]just[/i]? Do you now, he even brought you a gift."[/color]

She walks away from Galen, [sub]completely ignoring his presence for a moment with a sense of [b]foreboding[/b] if this didnt go well.[/sub] Lifting up the flask that she had left there on the counter she spins back around and moves to come close to Mayo and hold it out to him.

[color=purple]"What need is there for sedation when its....a friend. Yes this is Galen and hes a new friend of mine."[/color]

[2018-11-17 20:28] *[user]Galen Striker[/user] stiffened up as that presence first entered the room... It was overwhelming in a sense... almost oppressive really. It took Galen a moment to collect himself and put on a calm smile. Giving a respectful bow toward Mayo after Rhoswen identified who the demon god was.

[color=blue]"Lord Mayo, I have heard good things. It's nice to finally meet you. I hope the gift is to your liking. Miss Rhoswen is a good friend, and I am glad to have her as one."[/color]

[2018-11-17 20:41] [user]Mayo[/user]: [color=orange]“Since when.. does a subject.. bring gifts?… Are you teaching them to fetch now?”[/color]

However then Rhosen chimed with that certain word and Galen defined himself also as a.. [b][i]friend.[/i][/b] [i]What was that feeling?[/i] Oh, just the air getting thicker and a bit harder to carry into the lungs. Someone may have increased the gravity a bit too! And dimmed the lights. [color=orange]“[i]A friend[/i], you say?…”[/color]

That flask was noted with keen gaze, one hand reaching for it as his head turned and attention seemed solely focused upon it. However, his other hand shot forth with wicked speed, slender digits seeking to grasp Galen’s face at jaw and cheeks, although his black nails wouldn’t dig in enough to prick the man’s flesh. Despite this attempted hold, as such was all it was, Mayo’s focus was apparently quite taken with the flask in observation before he lifted it, giving the container a slight shake against a knife-like pointed ear.

[color=orange]“Rhoswen, my dear, when I suggested you mingle and work up your social skills.. I had meant with your subjects and our own kind. Not the fraternization of lesser lifeforms that have little to no place in our Nexus beyond your table and use..”[/color]

[2018-11-17 20:53] [user]Demoness Rhoswen[/user]: [color=purple]"Fetch? How droll...I could do far better then that."[/color]

She was quick to hear how fast Galen jumped up on that barreling train behind her. A conductor and her first in charge shoveling coal into the pit to keep it from breaking down. She didnt seem to break down under the force of that heavy hair, and in that moment she was [sub]so intensely glad that she didnt have a tail like Nitmer, it would have been thrashing.[/sub] She breathed in and out slowly, carefully as she always did, but then she was a bit more used to Mayo's heavy handed words and emotions....[i]if you could call it emotions[/i].

[color=purple]"Quite so, and a [b]good[/b] friend at that. I brought him here with me to take .....care... of a few things. He was even going over things about Anala with me a moment ago."[/color]

Stick as close to the damn truth as you could with this man, if Galen was picking up on anything she was saying or the way she was saying it, it should be that. She watched curiously as Mayo snatched at Galens face, flicking her eyes to him for a moment with an intensity that spoke [i]be still or you might die[/i] to him. Mayo was her guardian after all and more than a little over protective. She had been lying to him for months about Nitmer and now this person was here? She had known it was going to be....[b]chaotic[/b] to say the least.

[color=purple]"Oh? So I shouldnt care if one was willing to [b]heal[/b] me when I became damaged? Besides Galen is above such trivial mortals, and far more talented. Frat......exactly what do you think I was doing with him? I am not Kaionai."[/color]

Her face went pink in a sudden flurry of blushing at Mayos words.
[2018-11-17 20:57] *[user]Galen Striker[/user] felt that heavier air, the gravity increasing, seeing the lights dimming. He withstood those effects well enough, managing to maintain his calm. Those claws shot toward his face, and all he did was close his eyes, but otherwise remained stock still, as well as silent. He was not 100% certain that if he spoke while Mayo was gripping his face so... delicately, that those claws would not hesitate to rip his face from his body.

The liquid in the flask sloshed about, and if further examined would have the scent of powerful alcohol, and the taste of it as well. There was an identical flask resting at the man's side as well, possibly just as full of the same powerful drink.
[2018-11-17 21:06] [user]Mayo[/user]: A drink was a drink, even from a human. They were known to have good taste and skill in culinary mastery and that included fermentation and argumentation concerning certain beverages. However just as he used a finger to magically remove the flask’s cap and went for a sip.. [b]he paused.[/b]

[color=orange]“[i]Damaged[/i]? And why were you [i]damaged[/i]? [b]What[/b] happened? [b]Who[/b] [i]damaged[/i] you? What [i]type of damage[/i]?”[/color]

Galen was all but shoved aside to skid a few feet and hopefully keep his balance as Mayo turned full attention to Rhoswen, looking her over with [b]scrutinizing gaze[/b] as the topic took that sudden turn.

Then a pause came as if the very air itself froze, red gaze sliding over towards Galen despite his words hung in the open air. [color=orange]“And just how does a [i]mere human[/i].. [b]heal[/b] a demon?….”[/color] Now Galen was truly on Mayo's radar!

[2018-11-17 21:29] [user]Demoness Rhoswen[/user]: Such was the drink though, she knew that Mayo would enjoy it once he actually got a taste of it....which suddenly turned into a very...upset Mayo. She went very still again, her brain running at the speak of Sonic as she ran through what to say.

[color=purple]"Its fine, I am fine. It was nothing, he healed me."[/color]

She waved a hand at him as if it were nothing, for really it wasnt. But Mayo always honed in on those small words, the singular things that would make others flare wide with shock or surprise. She breathed in deeply and looked at him.

[color=purple]"It was an accident, and it happened here in the lab Mayo, I busted one of my vials and split my hand open."[/color]

Truth! But she just didnt say [b]why[/b] she had done this, for it would have led to a more intense [i]CURIOSITY[/i] from Mayo....which was more dangerous than calling Galen her friend. She stood u nder that gaze with the calm of a seasoned assassin, those crimson eyes calm and clear. I mean....she had learned how to be calm From Mayo...

[color=purple]"That is a very good question, I was asking him when you busted in here like a black slimer searching for more candies."[/color]

[2018-11-17 21:35] *[user]Galen Striker[/user] maintained that stillness, only to skid backward. One leg shifted slightly behind him to maintain his balance, straightening up as best as he could under the circumstances. another respectful bow of his head was given toward Mayo.

[color=blue]"As I was telling Miss Rhoswen, I had picked up on some basic healing magic in my travels and during my training. While I can cast it normally, as I did with Miss Rhoswen, I can also merge it with my Ki control techniques for other uses."[/color]
[2018-11-17 21:42] [user]Mayo[/user]: Taking Rhoswen’s word for what it was, his free hand rose.. The very hand that had such a menacing grasp of impending death upon Galen’s face ran a singer slender finger ever gentle along one of Rhoswen’s curls, looping it back over her shoulder. [color=orange]“I see…”[/color]

He again went to sip from that flask.. only to again pause! Jaw went slack as he gave Rhoswen a most incredulous look. [color=orange]“[i]A black [b]what[/b][/i] searching for sweets?.. Did.. did you just.. [b][i]call me[/i][/b] some sort of [i]lubricious slithering substance[/i]?…”[/color]

He blinked twice at her, still in a bit of [b]disbelief[/b] as he tried to wrap his mind around that one. Galen’s words however did divert his gaze momentarily, only to drift back to Rhoswen.

[color=orange]“Rhoswen, Honey dear… You will dissect that one, this Galen. Such a skill and knowledge could be a marvelous asset and while he seems to have no problem verbally sharing such wonders, I do think that a good, proper interrogation followed by proper dissection is in prompt order.”[/color]
[2018-11-17 21:51] [user]Demoness Rhoswen[/user]: She seemed relaxed and unafraid of Mayo, but then he was an adoptive father to her, and this display between the pairing of demoness might make that obvious to Galen. Especially when Mayo's hand which had been so deadly against his face was so delicate with Rhoswen herself tucking that curl back. She was however deliberately trying not to give Galen as much attention as she could at the moment....because Mayo was becoming more honed in on the man by the second.

[color=purple]"What? Well yes when you define it out like that, but you did just [i]appear[/i] in here in search of me. It was a little bit funny to me."[/color]
[2018-11-17 21:51] [user]Demoness Rhoswen[/user]: ((not done))
[2018-11-17 21:57] [user]Demoness Rhoswen[/user]: She ways with that sweet smile, clasping her hands behind her back as she stood there. Oh....oh no he was looking at Galen again. A feeling was swelling in her chest that she didnt like [b][i]one bit[/i][/b]. A intensity of dread that only grew into a harder knot when Mayo tried to ....order her to Dissect Galen. Lifting a hand to her face, never once sharing an inkling of that dread she ran her claw like nail over her cheek as she listened and then tapped it. Walking across the room she moves right up against Galen, in an entire [b]uncomfortable[/b], close, manner. Pressing the issue against Galen like she did Retkan, meaning her chest was up against his as those crimson eyes peered into his face with a lack of emotion, and you can see the calculations moving through her eyes. Then she smiles Galen, ever so sweetly and spins around, her curls bouncing as she looks to Mayo and steps forwards, her entire form sheilding Galen [sub]this was done deliberately but Mayo didnt know that....yet.[/sub]

[color=purple]"Hmmmm No. I would rather keep my friend quite alive and have him [b]share[/b] with me this interesting information. You can do that cant you Galen dear?"[/color]

She looks back to him with that wide cheeky smile. [sub]He better agree or this was going to get messy...[/sub]
[2018-11-17 22:00] *[user]Galen Striker[/user] promptly found Rhoswen getting.... [b]uncomfortably[/b] close, his eyes drifting own to meet her gaze for a few moments before she suddenly whirled around and stepped away, putting herself between him and Mayo. At her works, he gave another respectful bow of his head.
"Yes of course, I would not mind sharing such information with you Miss Rhoswen. It's the least I could do for your hospitality."
[2018-11-17 22:01] [user]Galen Striker[/user]: ((insert extra spaces and blue color for the text cause my keyboard was being stupid))
[2018-11-17 22:12] [user]Mayo[/user]: [color=orange]“Since when is my appearance [i]humorous[/i] to you?...”[/color]

For the perhaps third time, Mayo lifted that flask to his lips and went to take a sip..[i] only to again.. [b]pause![/b][/i]

He just.. watched Rhoswen go over to Galen and.. [i]press her chest against him[/i]?! [color=orange][b]“THERE WILL BE NO SHARING OF [u]ANYTHING[/u] BETWEEN YOU AND THAT HUMAN!”[/b][/color]

Getting an [b]ENTIRELY WRONG[/b] idea here, Mayo lifted a hand, dark tendrils of black and pink swirling to life behind Galen and snaking their way over. Dark magic sought to take hold and cling, only to [b]slam[/b] him back into the wall. [color=orange]“First I catch you sleeping with some infernal boy?!”[/color]

[b]SLAM.[/b] [i]Galen gets some face time with the floor.[/i]

[color=orange]“Now [i]this[/i]?!”[/color]

[b]SLAM.[/b] [i]Galen gets to meet the wall again. See that little spider in the window?[/i]

[color=orange]“At least the last male was your species and by Hell, not as OLD as this thing!”[/color]

Galen found himself [i]peeled[/i] up from the wall and promptly [b]thrown through the damn roof[/b] and off into the sky of the nexus. Well.. at least he was out of Mayo’s clutches with the demon’s sole focus now on Rhoswen. Still.. [i]his shouting could certainly be heard.[/i]

[color=orange]“CONSIDER YOURSELF [b]GROUNDED![/b] Your scepter privileges are [b]suspended![/b]”[/color]

[2018-11-17 23:07] [user]Demoness Rhoswen[/user]: The fact that Galen had so [i]readily[/i] agreed to what she was saying was [b]good[/b]. She was nodding her head smartly right after he answered her, a sweet smile on her face.

[color=purple]"There you see hes most happy to share information with me. I can even make logs of it for you and write new books to go into your library~"[/color]

She stated quite happily, watching Mayo curiously. it was right about then that everything took a [i][b]horrendous[/b][/i] turn for the worst. She watched Mayo lift that flask, and stop again, which made her blinks. She didnt jerk but her entire form leaned back on her feet diagonally at his yelling and screaming voice, crimson eyes wide as she stood like this for a moment, her hands holding her lab coat closed. Oh no....oh no no [b]no no[/b]!! She could see with the light in his eyes that whatever he had been thinking was completely [b]SOUTH[/b].

[color=purple]"What? Sharing? ITS Information! I thought thats what [i]you[/i] [b]wanted[/b]!"[/color]

What in the world was he thinking? And then...oh then he brought up Nitmer and she visibly [i]flinched[/i]. When had he found that out...jerking back she tried to grab Galen as those tendrils formed and snaked out so faster, her hands slapping against the empty air at where he had been when he was [b]SLAMMED[/b] into the wall, her form toppling over the dissection table head first with a crash, but already she was shoving her feet off the floor with power and speed, trying to grab the man again before he [i]DIED[/i] from her actions. [s]Which was completely her fault but whos counting?[/s]

[color=purple]"MAYO STOP THIS!"[/color]

The teenage demoness growled and missed Galen again when he was slammed into the floor, bashing herself into the wall and cracking it....[sub]my what  lovely spider, we really should spend more time together <3~[/sub]Prying herself, face first, out of the wall there she fell back, her nose bleeding as she wobbled for a moment and jerked around.

[color=purple]"NOW what! I didnt do anything! [i]Stop taking it out on the human male![/i]"[/color]

She spits blood on the floor and narrows her eyes at him when he starts talking about NItmer....a lash of energy coming from her and spidering the window. [sub]Look! A pretty web for the hero spider![/sub] [s]But hes not the hero of this story, there is no hero, only Mayo[/s] her voice becomes really quiet...and very serious all of a sudden, quite sadly Galen is suddenly forgotten as he goes crashing through the ceiling of her lab. [i]Bai bai~[/i]

[color=purple]"Dont you talk about Nitmer like that....he is [u][b][i]MINE[/i][/b][/u]...and I will sleep with him if I want to!"[/color]

The rageful thing he had met on that planet was rearing its ugly head, and Mayo knew full well that she would begin to care less how much more powerful he was than she....until he shouted that she was grounded. [sub]surprisingly Anala rests on her table completely untouched, unscathed and still sleeping through all the psychotic mess of demons having a family fight[/sub] And just like that she deflated like a balloon those eyes going wide.

[color=purple]"Wait what?...I [b]CANT[/b] be [u]GROUNDED[/u]!....[sub]what is grounded[/sub]..YOU CANT DO THAT, ITS MINE!"[/color]
[2018-11-17 23:10] [user]Merrik[/user] has logged out.
[2018-11-17 23:13] [user]Galen Striker[/user]: Things seemed to be going well for the moment... and then he saw that look in Mayo's eyes. Oh no... he didn't really think that he was....

Ohshitohshitohshitohshitohshit!

[color=blue]"Wait I think you ha-" [/color]

[b]SLAM![/b]

He hit the wall as he was grabbed and jerked back against it, some Ki used to lessen the force of the impact but not enough to be noticed.

"Ugg... We arent...."

[b]SLAM![/b]

Oh look... the floor! That was interesting tilework.... Again Ki was used to lessen the impact so he wasn't outright killed...

"......"
[2018-11-17 23:13] [user]Galen Striker[/user]: ((Gah keyboard, just a moment, not done yet))
[2018-11-17 23:16] [user]Galen Striker[/user]: For the moment, silence as he was lifted off of the ground and slammed back into the wall. Oh... whats that? Hello little spider...

Waitnoohshit!!

[b]SLAM![/b]

And then he was through the roof and released, flung up into the sky of the nexus.... he had survived at least, assuming he could retain conciousness he would float there in the air, trying to catch his breath as he listened to the demon raging below.

[2018-11-17 23:44] [user]Mayo[/user]: His expression was unreadable with dark gaze narrowed as scarlet irises pulsed with an untold foreboding brilliance. He watched as Rhoswen became battered and bloodied by her own impulsive behavior to rescue the human, which had only spurred Mayo on all the more as she expressed such concern with lack of attention to her own well-being. [i]Clearly this human was a [b]menace![/b][/i]

[color=orange]“Ohohoh? [b]Nitmer[/b] [i]is it[/i]? [b]YOURS[/b] [i]is he[/i]?! Then I shall have Buffolo [i][b]FETCH HIM!![/b][/i] He really should have been more careful about leaving his blood all over your laboratory floor!”[/color]

The name may register as being slightly familiar later, perhaps something to look into among his dreaded backlog of records gone without proper filing scattered throughout office and library in horrid disarray. Rhoswen’s scepter was in his hand in an instant, shaken and pointed about the lab. [color=orange]“You are detained to our territory until further notice! You will mend yourself, clean up this mess and think about what you have done! Kaionai gets away with his sleeping around because he’s an experienced, capable demon who resides beyond [sub]and is unworthy of [/sub] my attention and care and frankly is a[i] detestable asshole[/i] that makes him good at what he does. You Rhoswen are anything but! I’ll not have you galavanting around with your body pressing upon every male you meet! It’s unbecoming of a young woman like you!”[/color]

Without even giving her a chance to respond and expecting a tantrum to boot, Mayo took his leave through the lab door. He paused, hand cast with fingers spread outward in summoning a pink-hued seal over Rhoswen’s lab in its entirety. Flask and scepter still clenched tightly, his other hand was then brought up to his wrinkled lips with a [i]sharp whistle blown[/i].

Galen could barely make it out.. that mass of inky, [b]vile darkness[/b] looming in a glow as large as Rhoswen’s lab itself. It seemed to just rise up right from the ground with no disturbance to the corrupted earth itself. Brilliant full-on red eyes pulsed with a form that was nearly 20ft in height judging by that sickly aura and from the odd quadrupedal gait it would seem [b][i]this thing was hunched[/i][/b]?!

[color=orange]“Buffolo! [i]Scent this and[/i] [b]GO FETCH![/b]”[/color] His fingers tore through the air, sending a splatter of preserved crimson at that mass of looming, [b]impending doom[/b].

[b][color=blue]“GAAAHHHRRRAAAAWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!” [/color][/b]

That hulking form leaped up and slamme--[i] no.. it melted right back into the ground it had come from.[/i]

[i][color=orange]“Good boy..”[/color][/i]
With ever a sneer, Mayo all but stormed back for his castle residence, Rhoswen’s scepter in hand… as well as that flask he hadn’t had a drink of yet!
