Logs

[18:25] * Nessalie tapped the screen of her phone with her bloodied fingers. In the silence of the VIP Lounge of the stadium of the bloodsport, melodic beeping is heard. The girl dials someone's number and leans her phone on her ear. This would be her first call after...she just tried so many times to say something. She should've checked before fighting. "I'm...s-so sorry..." She mumbles to herself, having read through most of the many messages that Avari had sent. She would only hope that she would still pick up. The silence of the room was now filled by the dial noise, and by her own whimpering as she cried out almost silently the horrors she has seen during her possession.
[18:33] <Avarii> The phone buzzed in the girl's hands, playing its little melody softly as its owner stared down at it, her worried mind seeming to take a while process the stimuli. How long had she been staring at the device? Waiting for a response? It had felt like hours, and she had long since stopped typing messages, trying to get a reply from her friend, worry paralysing her at the lack of activity
[18:33] <Avarii> since the most recent text message. Her shaky hands almost dropped the phone as she rapidly held it to her ear, tapping the button as she blurts out in a high pitched and strained tone, filled with relief, anger, fear, frustration and pain blended together, her other hand gripping her necklace tight. "Where are you? Are you okay? Nessie answer me"
[18:39] * Nessalie was still whimpering and sniffing and shivering and holding herself, all thsi the more she tried to conjure up a response for the girl she believes she disappointed. Her clothes, her being, caked in her own dry blood, the putrid smell agonizing but unreaching, the girl tries once more. "A-A s..s-s-stadium...o-outside t-the...city...I-I'm sorry...I...I-I lost...y-you were...right..." Her voice, hiccuped, weak and showing signs of weariness, the consequence of screaming, blurted out the words silently. She couldn't help but to feel...just a little relieved that she was okay too. "I-I'm...so glad...t-to hear you..."
[18:45] * Avarii heard clearly the noises her friend was making, knowing instantly that something wasnt right even before Nessie spoke through the phone. The very thought her friend could be hurt sent a stab of intense worry through her, and her breath caught in her throat, giving the other girl time to finish speaking before she could bring herself to talk. She paced in place through her home, her
[18:45] * Avarii wings fluttering in aggitation and worry behind her back. Nessie sounded in distress, she had to do something... "Its okay, I'm here... I-I... C-can you make it to a portal? Are you near a Nexus? Tell me how you got there so I can come and get you. I'll be there as soon as I can I promise, its going to be okay." Her voice attempted to sound reassuring, but her stammers and pained pauses
[18:45] * Avarii belayed her own distress... She had to find her friend...
[19:03] * Nessalie stays silent for a little as she tries to think to of a way to meet her friend. She...doesn't want to walk out. It still hurt to move so much. "I-I'll...go home...a-and walk...t-to you..." She concluded. A small moment of silence predured as she continuosly whimpered and cried. "I'm so sorry Avari...You...were right...I-I shouldn't have gotten into this...I-I lost...I f-failed to...avenge my friend...I-I'm so...weak..." She tried again once more, her shivering nearly audible due to the plates of her graves and her single pauldron. "I-I'll....go to you...now...I-I promise..." With this she hangs up, and makes an effort to think of her home and to be there, closing her eyes. It succeeded. The girl weakily stands up and walks to her door, dragging her feet along.

The girl weakily stands up and walks to her door, dragging her feet along.
[19:10] <Avarii> "Nessie listen to me" she tries to cut the girl off as she begins to apologise profusely down the phone. "Just focus on getting to a portal, I will meet you there, dont worry about a thing o-okay?" worry still taints her tone, but her words seemed much more solid and grounded now, the girl's outfit flickering into existance around her body as she moves across the room. "I'll be there s-

[19:10] <Avarii> Nessie? Nessie!" she yells down the phone as she hears the click, the girl having hanged up on her mid sentence. What had the girl gotten herself into... She had to help, the angelic mahou heading towards her own door. It was only a short flight to the nearest nexus, she could be with her soon...

She had to help, the angelic mahou heading towards her own door. It was only a short flight to the nearest nexus, she could be with her soon...
[19:26] * Pierka pierced the mind of the young girl with a voice that was unnaccented and emotionless, floating silently behind her. "Was it really worth it? To chase a petty revenge, of an irresponsible surrogate 'mother', to you? Open your eyes, child. They will do nothing but the same as your home. To smother and coddle you. You're not there anymore. You serve a purpose. Fighting on your own, for your own resolves, will lead you to a path you won't be able to get out of alone. I think this is punishment enough. I know where you want to go. I'll take you there so bystanders don't have to look at your disgraced self." With this, the floating white teardrop with tiny hands hovered to in front of the broken girl, its eyes curiously the same colour as her own. "Grab hold of me, child."
[19:33] * Nessalie was no less than surprised. She had never seen this creature again ever since that very fateful day. It made it difficult to really not comply, when such a voice seemed to soothe the echoes of the former ones, even if it caused a bit of a headache. "O-Okay..." Extending out her hand as if to hold a cup, as soon as she came in contact with her, a flicker and fade of the world around her and she was....outside. As she turned around, she was in front of a familiar building's door. "T-Thank you...I-I'm-" Her speech cut off as she turned around and found the figure not there anymore.

[19:33] * Nessalie her and she was....outside. As she turned around, she was in front of a familiar building's door. "T-Thank you...I-I'm-" Her speech cut off as she turned around and found the figure not there anymore.
[19:34] * Pierka places a simple message in her mind once more, this time, a mere word. Pierka.
[19:45] * Nessalie stays a moment in silence as she thought about that name. "Pier....ka." It rolled off in a strangely simple manner. That...was that her puchuu? After the previous experiences and what she had been told, she found it a little strange that it was kind of...cute. Such thoughts were short-lived however. She promised she would get to Avari's place, and Pierka made it so that she took the fastest route. Hearing her name, she turned around to face her friend. Her own self was more than poorly presentable. Her outfit, as ivory as her hair, was splashed in red that were starting to dry, her own face and hair poorly arranged, caked in the blood of a former cut. Avari would find no visible wounds, but would find the stains, cuts and gashes in her clothes that were once coupled with those same injuries. "A...Avari..." Saying her name, seeing her, even in her voice that presented all sorts of damage, showered her with relief and with disappointment in herself. The girl looked towards the ground in shame "I...I'm sorry..." She said once more. In her bloodied hands, was the purification artifact, held close to her heart, it too, painted with red.[19:55] <Avarii> "Nessie..." she breathes out, her sky blue eyes taking in the sight of her friend, her body moving on impulse as she rushes forward, ignoring the dried blood as her arms wrap tightly round Nessie's form, pulling her close as a soltary tear leaks from her cheek, brushed off against the ivory hair of her friend as she hugs her tight. This was the second time she had been met at the door by her
[19:55] <Avarii> friend in distress, this time the circumstances were worse, but her reaction was exactly the same, the need to comfort the poor girl hardcoded into her body. "Why... why..." she simply breathed out, unable to comprehend this... Her friend was covered in blood, her worst fears of this 'tournament' realised... Her dear friend had participated in a blood sport... for what end... "Why did you do this..." she sobbed out, leaning into the girl's shoulder.
[20:15] * Nessalie lifted her head when she said her name again, and before she could even take the chance to speak, she found herself in an embrace that she felt most at ease in. She was taken aback by this, but didn't waste more than a few seconds to return this embrace. As she hears her friend's words, she tries again, but finds herself with no answer. Pierka was...right. This...was a solitary cause. Other people were there for other reasons, pherhaps to even hone their skills, but she was there to...to hurt. To actively take revenge upon the pain she saw inflicted in someone that...had been irresponsible. But...didn't she deserved that? To be avenged? Yet she...was watching her. "I...I wanted...revenge. S-Someone hurt my...friend. T-The last fight was...against this...really mean girl that hurt my friend and laughed...B-But I...I lost...S-Someone talked to me...a-and made me...fight...a-and when I said no they...h-hurt me too..." She couldn't help but to start crying and sobbing herself as she realized the very error of her ways. Someone would've done the same, and pherhaps better. "I'm...so...weak..." She mutters.
[20:24] * Avarii sniffs in a breath through her nose as she holds Nessie, the acrid scent of salt and blood and sweat hanging heavy around her friend, evidence of her so recent fight... "Nessie..." she breathes out, not quite believing that her kind hearted and sweet friend could do such a thing to another in the name of revenge... It made her think, of what she had done in the name of revenge, the
[20:24] * Avarii life she had taken with so little remorse at the time... She felt sick to her stomach, compounded by the scent of blood in the air, triggering painful memories. "C-come inside... Lets get you cleaned up..." she whispers to te girl, a hint of anger in her from the knowledge that someone had hurt her friend simply for not fighting... "I will sort this all out, I promise..." she releases the
[20:24] * Avarii girl from the hug, draping an arm and a wing around her shoulders as she leads Nessie inside.
[20:37] * Nessalie simply complies. After hearing the words of her friend and her Puchuu, disappointment in herself was a feeling that loomed over her, the stench of blood and battle invading her sharp senses as clear signs of her mistakes. "I-I...I'm so glad you're here...Avari...I-I'm sorry that I...didn't respond sooner...I-I hope I was...q-quick..." She says, her voice emek and weak, thankful to her Puchuu to have taken her where she wanted to go so quickly. "I...I hope you can forgive me...I-I'll...try and not do anything like this...to...n-not go after revenge...ever again...I-I don't want to hurt you like this...again...I-I'm so sorry..." She feels tears dripping out of her swollen eyes again, following the same line of blood they helped clean out and reveal her skin.
[20:45] <Avarii> "Its okay... Its okay, I forgive you, of course I forgive you cara mia..." she whispers to the girl in a strained voice, leading the girl straight through the front room to the bathroom, intent on washing the blood from her. Not another word is spoken by the angel until she enters the smaller room, decked fully in white tiles with porcelain sink, toilet, shower, and a bath. Turning the tap
[20:45] <Avarii> of the bath she lets the water start to run, seating herself on the edge while directing her friend to sit on the lid of the toilet. Only once they are seated does the girl look to her ivory haired frend, her eyes wide with concern and hurt. "Nessalie... dear Nessalie..." she reaches forward, brushing a lock of hair from the girl's face and petting the side of her cheek. A flash of light
[20:45] <Avarii> comes from her otherhand as her healing artifact appears. "Are you at all injured? Tell me what happened... Why did you take part in something so awful... Who hurt you and your friend...?" the pain in her tone wa somewhat muffled by the running of the water from the bath.
[21:03] * Nessalie found herself silent for brief moments. She can't remember the girl's name even. "This...girl, with...blue hair, a-and...a m-metal giant..." She shaked her head at her other question. "I'm...not hurting anymore..." Her magical outfit started to fade, replaced by simple civillian clothes. Her eyes averted Avari's gaze, feeling undeserving of her care after what she willingly put herself through. "I...t-there was someone in my head...b-but ever since...I-I put my...artifact near me, it's...gone...P-Pierka spoke to me and...h-he helped me calm down...i-it was...it was horrible...they...yelled at me and showed me doing...a-awful things...t-to you...t-to Sam...I-It was so awful...I-I gave up m-my second fight a-and then they...made my head hurt...a lot..." She fearfuly tells her tale of possession and loss with a heavy look. What she saw, felt and heard was horrible, and it showed on her expression.
[21:17] * Avarii takes mental notes about girls with blue hair and metal... giants? She had fought those before, they werent too tough. Her artifact disappated as Nessie showed she wasnt hurt, the dark skinned girl breathing a heavy sigh of relief as she continued to stroke the hair framing her dear friend's face gently. "Tell me dear, who spoke to you in your head? Was it this... Pierka? Who is
[21:17] * Avarii he...?" she was now growing worried, someone had gotten inside the head of her friend... This could mean any number of things, none of them very good. She would need to see Circa about this, but her puchuu was absent as always, most likely watching over Sahara as she went about her business at home. "Did you feel like you werent in control Nessalie...? Like something was driving you?" She remembered what her old friend had told her... in the weeks before... Her eyes screwed shut, not wanting to think about that right now.
[21:48] * Avarii widens her eyes in realisation... Nessie's puchuu had made a reappearance... This made things interesting to say the least, perhaps it wanted something from her friend, perhaps it was finally going to reveal the mission it had in mind for her... However it wasnt the puchuu that worried her, it was this... man... "Nessie... I... I dont know what it is... I'm sorry..." she reaches back
[21:48] * Avarii with a hand, testing the temperature of the water, turning on the cold tap as well as she tries to reassure her friend with a weak smile. "But I do know that it wasnt you... The Nessie I know would never want to hurt like that, whatever this thing is... You must resist with all your might, dont let anyone control you but you." Her hand moves upwards, brushing over the girl's ear and stroking
[21:48] * Avarii the top of her head tenderly. "There are those who seek to... use us, for their own ends... We have power that they want Nessie, and they will try all sorts of things to get it. But we must resist it."
[22:20] <Avarii> "I am sorry I didnt warn you about things like this sooner Nessie I just... I thought... I hoped it wouldnt happen again, and so soon..." she averts her gaze only slightly as her friend begins to disrobe, but the sight of bruises would pull her eyes back, the angelic mahou wincing visibly at her friend's injuries, assessing Nessie for further damage. "Oh... I'm so sorry..." she rests her hand
[22:20] <Avarii> on the girl's shoulder, closing her eyes tight. "If I had known... I could have stopped this..." she lets out a deep sigh, turning around to the bath as it fills up to the right level, the angelic girl turning of the tap and swirling the water with the tip of her wing, allowing the temperature to stablilise. "There, relax and get clean mia tesoro, you deserve a rest..."
[23:00] * Nessalie was only a little embarassed about becoming fully naked around her friend, but the entire turmoil that was her heart and head at that moment disenchanted the entire thing. She layed her hand atop of the one on her shoulder, and gave her a squeeze. "It's...my fault. I-It's...what you're doing now is...I-I really...t-thank you..." She couldn't find enough gratitude in words to really express how she felt towards her friend at this moment. Her hand sliding back down to meet the other at her midriff and holding them together, she turned to face the tub full of water and to dip a toe in it. A gaze at Nessalie's naked body revealed that her busom wasn't very flat, size roughly reaching a B cup, yet from her waist and below, she possessed a decent curvature, endowing the girl with a pear shape. She didn't hesitate too much, or flinch at the temperature of the water, making it a slow, deliberate, graceful yet shivering entry upon the body of water.
[23:10] * Avarii averts her gaze out of politeness, the girl had had enough trauma today without any added embarrassment. And she was mature enough not to make things weird after all, simply letting the girl sink into the bath carefully, only turning her head back towards her friend once she was submerged under water, the long ivory locks of her friend spreading out and giving her some modesty in the
[23:10] * Avarii way of a convenient censoring. "Its not your fault my dear... Its the fault of whatever is trying to control you... I wont let it succeed, I wont lose another friend like that." her eyes glisten slightly as she locks gazes with Nessie's own. Resting her hand comfortingly on the girl's head, she ever so gently strokes the white hair, only her thumb and the tips of her fingers moving much,
[23:10] * Avarii gently... "I... I dont know what it might be, but I'll find out... I have contacts in the puchuu, they might be able to help..." she lets out a sigh. "For all their faults, the puchuu would not allow an entity to jeapodise the mission of one of their girls..."
[23:39] * Nessalie observed the water gain the colours of the things that soiled the pale tone of her skin...Her skin. Her skin was...not as pale as...she remembers. It had a slightly more rose tone to it. Her fingers, still somewhat slender and small according her hand were also a little more roughened, and she held the tips of her hair with them. The young girl took a bit of time to observe her own self like this, where as before she never really payed that much attention. She did things as were done unto her all her life, albeit with some difficulty now that she had to do it all herself. She had cut and hurt herself before at the first tries. "I'm...I'm happy that...Pierka said something...a-anything...a-after so long, I...thought that...they'd never say anything to me again..." Her dulled embarassement led way to her strange curiosity as her hands pressed down on her own locks of hair against her naked body, and letting to for them to rise again. "H-He said...I-I had a purpose now...b-but he didn't tell me.."
[23:47] * Avarii crouched down by the side of the bath, putting her head near the same level as her friend's own, her own magical outfit flickering as the grime Nessie had transferred to her during the hug and contact was poofed away. Relief seemed to low through her... with a puchuu now looking over Nessie, perhaps she was less at risk from this entity that sought to control her... Circa and his
[23:47] * Avarii order had been almost ruthless in hunting down those who interfered, and she knew the puchuu was probably attempting to dicscern the origin of Sahara's moth companion as they spoke... "We all have a purpose Nessalie. We are here to make the universe a better place... for everyone... I know you will do a good job of it, and I'll be right here beside you. Always." She smiles warmly, her fears
[23:47] * Avarii for the girl somewhat fading... but she would definitely have to keep a closer eye on Nessie in the future.
[00:15] * Nessalie thought about that purpose. As far as she knew so far her purpose had been to protect those close to her. Making the universe a better place...That was a far larger scale. She couldn't help feel a little overwhelmed by this change in scale if that really was her purpose now. The girl sighed a little, and her gaze changed to follow her friend. "No matter...what happens to me, Avari I...I know you're someone that...can get me out of somewhere that..." The girl's speech falls into silence. In a slow movement, she stands up straight a little and the now clean hands of the pale girl place themselves on tan cheek of the girl. "Thank you, Avari...you've done this for me...again...T-Taking care of me when I...made such a terrible choice...You are amazing, m-my...guardian angel..." Nessie's now clean face presented just a pink tinge now, as well as a small smile. She halfway moved towards and halfway pulled her to plant a small kiss upon the girl's forehad.
[00:32] <Avarii> "You didnt make a choice Nessalie darling... The choice was made for you... This isnt your fault." she brushes her cheek against the other girl's, leaning over the bath to do so. She didnt seem to mind that her friend was naked, uncaring about anything but showing she was there for her in this tough time. There was a pit of anger in her heart... She was going to find out who or what was doing
[00:32] <Avarii> this... And she was going to annihilate them without remorse. She reaches over to the counter, grasping a bottle of vanilla scented shampoo and handing it to Nessie if she wanted it, get the grime and blood out of her perfect ivory hair. "You dont need to thank me, thats what friends are  for."
6[01:06] * Nessalie brushed her hand against the cheeks of the other as she let go of her. "I-I guess...y-you're my best friend then..." She receeded back into the warmth of the water and took the bottle of shampoo and set it beside her. The girl sunk a little to hide her embarassement and to dip all of her hair in. As she resurfaced, she seemed to be looking for the conditioner instead but she...didn't recognize the labels, and therefore stood quietly looking at the bottles a little confused. "I should...cook you something as thanks..." She says, both an honest suggestion and a way to avoid future embarassement. The turmoil and chaos of this day would show on her voice sounded weary and a little damaged.
