So, like....Hi.

You into magic and stuff?

That's cool.

I saw this David Blaine special once.

So, uhhh....I'll be, ya know, around if you wanna chat. Or, whatever.

Hello there.

Not magic, per say... but gifts rendered from those I follow, and worship. Gifts that need to be earned.

Illusion is the first of all pleasures, but also the usually the initial one to be shattered.

I am always available to... chat.

Corey narrows his eyes in confusion.

Gifts rendered from those you follow?

Oh! You're a Twitch streamer!

Lycana snorts. She studies Corey suspiciously.

No. Not in the least.

The thought makes my eye twitch, so theres that.

Does that count?

Corey winces and turns away, muttering to himself.

Dammit Smith, you're fucking this up! Get it together.

Then, returning his full attention to Lycana.

So who are these ones you follow?

Studying Corey suspiciously is the only way to study Corey.

Also, up your game bro.

The fuck, theres another one. Lycana's eyebrow arches up as she regards Thaddeus. She inclines her head in greeting.

Hello to you as well.

And yes Corey please do. I enjoy a good game.

I follow Hecate, Dionysus, and others.

<----- Gets jealous...

Dont worry Thad, I got this.

You got awesome taste in music! Man, I'd love to see Hecate live!

Hmm. You like metal I see.

Which one? The one from Egypt? Italy? Perhaps the Hecate from Brazil?

I mean, theres also Rachael Lynn Gabriela Kozak-Salmi, when she performed as Hecate.

Lycanas lips quirk upward as she suppresses a smile.

Don’t forget Viking/Nordic metal symphonic metal Russian metal the list goes on

I know you do, Cor...

And hi Lycana, nice to meet you.

Gestures to Ash.

Those as well! Unless you want to see all of them. Which, of course, Im totally down for.

Nice to meet you as well Thad, congratulations are in order, very well done!

While the others are chatting, Corey takes a moment to check something on his phone. What he sees makes him blanche. He looks back up at Lycana.

So, uhhhhh, you're not into like, freaky cult stuff, right?

Depends on your definition of freaky cult stuff.

Whats freaky for some is very vanilla for others.

She shrugs, wondering how easy he was to creep out.

Corey stares at her blankly.

The fact that that wasn't a discrete "no" is a bit alarming.

He plasters on a fake smile.

Well, it was nice meeting you. But I get the vapors whenever I see blood....sacrifices...

Good day! And for the purposes of any dark rituals you may cast, my name is spelled C-H-R-I-S-C-H-A-O-S.

Corey high tails it out of the frame, and then dips back in to jerk Thad away before dipping out again.

Lycana laughs and waves.

A shame, you dont know what youre missing. Bye boys, I'll be seeing you.

Marf stumbles into the frame. He looks completely flabbergasted at how he wound up here. He sees some familiar pals from XWF scooting about and walks over to them. Marf catches Lycanna’s eyes and smirks fondly. He takes a strange breathe before suddenly speaking.

Marf: Well hellooooo there.

Marf runs a hand through his brown, thickening beard before raising it up and waving awkwardly.

Doc appears behind Lycana shirtless with a pentagram carved into his chest and a freshly peeled goat skin draped over his shoulder.

Hey Lucy.... These guys bothering you?

Whispers to self.

"Yes, he's still free."

Shawn walks up curious of the large gathering. Putting his hand on Marfs Shoulder from behind. “Hell of a win the other night.” He looks up to see Lycana is the center of attention and shakes his head now understanding what the big deal is. “You all have a great night.” and continues on his way.

Lycana looks over Marf as he smirks at her. She cant suppress a chuckle as she waves back.

Hello darling...

She turns to see Doc, and admires his pelt.

Not in the least... have to say, I love your outfit. Skinned it yourself I hope?

Eyeballs guy just standing there muttering to himself. And they think IM weird?

Actually, I told the goat I was cold and it did the honors for me. If you'd like, I seen another goat back there...

Marf bursts into a short laugh before smiling at everyone.

Marf: I hope that’s an open invite, Doc! Been a while since I got to skin something living mmm yes please.

Marf vibrates with anticipation.

(12-01-2020, 05:44 PM)Marf Said: Marf bursts into a short laugh before smiling at everyone.

Marf: I hope that’s an open invite, Doc! Been a while since I got to skin something living mmm yes please.

Marf vibrates with anticipation.

Have at it, big guy.

Lycana merely bobs her head for a hello and goodbye to Shawn as he exhibits a fine show of sportsmanship. Almost made her tear up a little bit... that happened when she was about to vomit. She turns her attention back to Marf and the Doc.

Wouldnt dream of doing such a thing without you Marf. It would be a travesty to take something like that away from you.

Marf clasps his hands together and swoons for a moment. He nods and grins once again.

Marf: Well looky here, someone who just might get me...on a universal level...

Marf again tries to smile again but is clearly distracted by Ash Quinn, who’s just been standing around the whole time.

Lycana follows his gaze to Ash. She was probably thinking about the metal bands they had discussed earlier. There were many Hecates to ponder, each one different. Her gaze shifts again to Alias who really enjoyed muttering to himself. A lot creepier acting than herself, although apparently you slit a goats throat around here and it sent people scurrying for the hills. Weak stomachs. However, it did draw out the ones who liked to play her way.

Perhaps Marf. Do you like how blood feels dripping down your arms?

Marf cocks his head and ponders for a moment before smiling wider than a Jack-o-lantern with amusement.

Marf: Oh of course dear lady. But only if whoever’s blood it is can see what I’m doing...hmmm, yes, yes please.

Marf gives a bow for absolutely no reason. Someone is playing a piano creepily in the background now, how long has that been a thing jeez...

Smacks Marf’s butt blowing him a kiss

Did ya miss me bud? I appreciate the looks, do ya like my dark side. Thanks to my girl here I’ve found breaking bones feels like home. Cute is overrated

At this point, the piano seems to be the most normal thing about the interaction shes had with everyone. Why question it? She nods in agreement.

Of course, letting them watch their life drain out onto the ground is most... pleasurable.

She taps her finger on her lips, looking Marf over. She flashes a grin at Ash.

I have a proposition for you my dearest Marf. May I?

The Mystery Man calmly read a newspaper in his seat by the playing piano, taking a deep sip of coffee as he glanced towards the group of supernaturals and... other curious figures...

Just how much HAS changed here?

Marf takes a moment to look back and for from Lycana and Ash Quinn.

Marf: Mmm you’re both so wonderful! Ash, how I’ve missed you...

Marf reaches out and strokes Ash’s hair. He sighs and smiles before looking back over to Lycana.

Marf: Let’s hear this proposal...

Ash flashes a wicked grin, chuckling

Lycana moves to slowly walk around Marf, looking him up and down before coming to a stop directly before him. She flashes him a smirk, eyes twinkling with delight. She inches closer, moving in to whisper the proposition in Marf's ear, not audible to anyone around them.

Marf looks intrigued. He nods at her and smiles back. There’s a twinkle in his eye.

Marf: I would love to conjure spirits with you, any day of the week.

Marf nods while quite possibly being very confused.

Ambling through, Atara quirked an eyebrow at all this vagary before muttering to herself, "Effin wierdos."

Exit stage right.

Marf turns for a moment and stares longingly at the exiting Atara Themis.

Marf: Ataraaaaa...don’t go so soon. You didn’t come here just to leave. You and I both know that...

Marf reaches out for her...

In the cut somewhere, T is just standing around to see all the fuckkery coming down here tonight.

"Oh man, one guy tries to entertain a chick...the others come in to interviene. Never change XWF...never change."

Then he see's who everyone has their eyes on, wanted to come forward near Lycana, but held back in fear.

Lycana laughs at Atara as she leaves.

Fuckery is always afoot when Im around.

She turns and eyes Tommy, She tilts her head to the side, observing him. She beckons him closer with a faint smile playing upon her lips.

I dont bite you know. Unless you ask me to.
