Re: Girls Dorm (Communal Areas)
No... am I... going to die... here?...
Time slowed to a crawl as the small snake watched Mia's hand thrust forward frame by frame, fingers together to form a "knife", intent on severing his head from his neck.
"I didn't mean to poison her! All I want to do is get home! "
In a strong burst of psychic energy, Sly sent a mental "shout" to virtually everyone in the vicinity, his fear causing him to lose control of his powers. Anyone near the girl's dorm, or in it more sensitive to such abilities would have his cry conveyed directly to their minds, its "volume" depending on how far they were from him.
This action however, had a profound effect on Mia, as she realized the snake’s origins, her hand scarcely a few centimeters away from the reptile’s head. A magus?... No, he’s from that world… A sinister smile breaking out on her face, Mia whispered softly into the frightened animal’s ear.
“Congratulations… you get to live a bit longer…. “
This did little to help pacify Sly, it was obvious that behind that smile she was planning something worse for him. As he slowly rebuilt his composure, he began to quickly contemplate his choices. Transforming was out of the question, the speed she had moved earlier meant that if he tried anything visible to the naked eye, he would find himself in pieces on the ground. Sending out a mental cry for help seemed to be out of the question as well, seeing as the woman was sensitive enough to detect his earlier shout. Hypnosis? That could work, seeing as psychic abilities obviously had some effect on her. Provided he kept the command simple enough, it should be feasible to even force such a strong minded person as her to temporarily subject to his will in some form. It’s not like things were going to improve if he continued hanging from his tail. Drawing on the energies within his mind, he began his attempt at hypnotizing the one holding him… only to be foiled again by Lady Luck, who had apparently made it her personal agenda to ensure Sly failed in anything he attempted.
” Hey! Are you ok over there? “
So as fate would have it, at the precise moment Sly attempted his hypnosis, Mia dropped Sly head first, into what appeared to be a “portal of shadow” so as to confront the girl who had come up behind her.
“I’m ok! I was just looking for something.”
“Looking for what?”
“Oh… just a little something I dropped. I found it already though.” [color]
“Oh, ok…”
“Now if you’ll excuse me… there’s someone I need to go meet now. Talk to you another time?...”
“Um… yeah… sure…”
Hand grasping her face as she walked away from the dorm, the girl could not help but smile as a thing “veil” covered each of her eyes, the scarlet red pupils replaced with ones of bright blue. Masquerading around as Ima wasn’t too bad, still more annoying than it was worth though. Well either way, it would be easier to move around on campus as her weaker self, she could work on changing her appearance later…
