⇨ DANGEROUS ENCOUNTERS
Who: Anyone out in the library.
When: Day 59
Where: The Athenaeum
What: Towards the end of the visit, we are visited by a series of worrisome NPCs, who may or may not be illusions. There will be at least 5 NPC toplevels posted overall, all happening in a similar time period ICly (in rough chronological order), so not everyone needs to be in every thread.
Warnings: Possibility of very real danger to anyone who participates. Remember that Sans has told everyone to travel in groups, so if you aren't, you'll probably get a scolding later.

TURNING THE PAGE↴![]() As the carnival continues to explore the Athenaeum in the pursuit of more information about the legendary Miracles, the tension is thick with the knowledge that the Summer Court could be in pursuit any day now. On Day 59, a series of threatening encounters will begin manifesting - but are they real, or an illusion? |

And the water... Lapis is quick to grab hold of it, though she's not actually sure what she means to do. Both of them... Their forms are off and wrong, and there's not really a reason for it, as far as Lapis is aware, considering she'd had more than enough time to come back with her form perfected.
no subject
What she's really frustrated by isn't Lapis's appearance so much as that she can, like, feel stuff on her feet. She can feel the water lapping at her legs without the default buffer of her appearance modifiers and it's weird and she doesn't like it? But it's WAY easier to yell at other people about what's going on with them.

It is pretty weird, though Lapis very Visibly Takes Offense when Jasper calls her out on her carnival changes. Or is it the weird nudity? Who knows. The point is, Lapis is suddenly sizing Jasper up, because it gives her something to focus on besides the panic that's filling her system.
"You did what? You should have left me!" She doesn't want to be rescued by Jasper of all Gems!

"Well -- this is still better than being destabilised," she huffs.

And then her wings flare out and she outright lunges at Jasper, water snapping upwards to bind Jasper in place. A hopefully effective restraint.
no subject
"Ngh--" she growls, "you're right, I should have left you with that disgusting fae--"
no subject
"And now we're both stuck wherever here is!" Because Jasper ruined it. Lapis doesn't know how, but there's nowhere to run away too, and there's no better target.

She's a Lapis Lazuli.
There's no reason for her to not have control over water. There's no reason for her to be unable to control it with absolute precision. Taking these frustrations out on Jasper makes her feel better, and she lifts her foot, putting it on the top of Jaspers' head in a clear motion of superiority.
She'll keep Jasper under for as long as she likes.
no subject
She looks up past Jasper shoulder, meeting Lapis's eyes. She smiles.
"Keep going," she will say without moving her lips, both of them able to hear it regardless. Like the turn of a switch, Jasper will begin to drown.
no subject
In all her time held prisoner by Lapis, submerged, struggling to free herself from Lapis's chains and haul herself above water, she has never felt anything like this. She had been desperate, yes, but a purely ideological desperation -- for control, for power, for escape. This is an undeniable, physical need on a level Jasper has never experienced before. She gasps, chokes on a throatful of water, thrashes and kicks and cries out in a frantic, wordless gargle.
no subject
Jasper, quite quickly, has been forgotten.
no subject
Still, as Lapis panics and backs away, the Lady will keep watching her. She speaks again.
"Hold her down, or I'll hold you down longer."
no subject
She doesn't like Jasper. She wants to hurt Jasper, but not on someone elses orders.
Water rises up again, but it doesn't shoot towards Jasper, but instead the Fae herself. Maybe if she takes her by surprise, it'll be different.
no subject
The Lady floats up to meet her, with Jasper still struggling in her arms, her naked body pressed against the Quartz's back. She can feel the life leaving her, even if she won't let her die from this.
She keeps looking at Lapis expectantly. Lapis will feel her need to breathe slowly returning, as the Lady watches.

no subject
She has fewer concerns about Jasper right now.
