Nixie [ adalori resident ]

[2015/10/13 15:41] Sira'Kess: came up from the waters flexing and stretching with a groan before he picked up his clothes and began dressing. The hunter rounded the corner and smirked once he saw the siren once again engrossed in her books. Silently he strode next to her and sat with his back to her before he positioned himself so when he laid back his head would be on the small of her back.

[2015/10/13 15:51] Nixie (adalori): was studying again, muttering under her breath and even trying some of the obscure gestures pictured. She was... getting a better idea of it but.... She glanced back at Sira'Kess as he used her as a pillow, arching an eyebrow at him but generally just leaving him to his own devices as she continued reading.


[2015/10/13 16:10] Sira'Kess: idly fiddled with the Sirens dress. He'd brush his hand along the back of her leg as she laid there reading. Every now and then the hunter would caress her arm that was closest to him. "Same book?" he asked absently.

[2015/10/13 16:19] Nixie (adalori): would twitch her leg every so often, muttering those words under her breath, her mind running wild with theories and how to best put this into practice, how to meld it with her own style of casting. "Yes. I am studying." she would answer him, brow creased as she mulled over the same clump of writings next to a diagram for the umpteenth time.

[2015/10/13 16:42] Sira'Kess:  continued his idle touching cuz shark though he chose not to interrupt her anymore. He contented himself on his Siren pillow and relaxed while she read. Though every now and then he'd run a hand along her butt, cuz nice butt.

[2015/10/13 16:48] Nixie (adalori): hissed quietly at the Hunter, glancing sharply at him and then rolling her eyes before going back to her text. She'd bite her lip, shaking her head and sighing softly, looking from one bit of text to the next and then back again.

[2015/10/13 17:04] Sira'Kess: /me let out a sigh and picked himself up off of his Siren pillow. He would leave her be, not wanting to disturb her. He walked to the corner just before the waters edge and began taking his boots off.

[2015/10/13 17:07] Nixie (adalori): glanced up as Sira'Kess decided to leave, head tilting to the side and watching him as he began taking his boots off, head still tilted before rising silently, padding over with a swish of cloth and dipping to press the briefest of kisses to his cheek, before returning to her studying.

[2015/10/13 17:11] Sira'Kess: had a brief confused look on his face before receiving the kiss at which point it turned int a small smile. He took off his bracers as he smirked, "I'll see you in the cove then." was all he said as he let fall the last of his clothing before diving in to the waters.

[2015/10/13 17:12] Nixie (adalori): just waved her hand at him in a dismissing manner, acknowledging his words but ignoring him for the most part, starting up her muttering again, a look of concentration on her face.

[15:11] Nixie (adalori) drug her leggy self up onto the bank of the river, checking around to ensure there wasn't anyone being all sneaky and trying to eat her again... she'd been reading... and reading... and reading it was time to practice!! Something simple, likely not the whole thing but something familiar, the Siren would stick her feets out in front of her, sighing and singing softly under her breath those incantations she had taught herself, focusing on her legs primarily imagining a pretty red tail in their place letting the rest of herself stay the same.. maybe tanner skin... just enough to practice this spell of hers...

[15:14] Merialeth Windstar (caireannliadan) had been out for a flight, a quick one with a certain thought in mind, alighting on the far side of the little cove and making her way towards Nixie as she caught sight of her. Her smile warming as she settled to the rocks, feeling the bare heat fromthe day's warmth beneath her and tugging her wings close to her sides with a soft "Good day to you, Nixie, I hope you're well?"

[15:17] Nixie (adalori) hadn't heard Meri flutter up but her spoke words were audible and she cracked an eye open, the song faltering for a moment as a grin split her features as she let it fade. "Greetings Meri. I am very well, I trust you feel better after last night?" a look of concern on her features for the winged woman and a tilt of her head after she had run off so suddenly.

[15:19] Merialeth Windstar (caireannliadan) winced as she realized the song had been Magic, the hint not caught at first and offering an apologetic "Sorry about that... and I'm alright... just was a long day I suppose..." The warm smile offered again even if tinged with a bit of embarrassment at having been so transparent, and distracting her. "Please don't let me interrupt..."

[15:28] Nixie (adalori) stared at her for a bit, assessing the woman before nodding and dropping it, "It is alright. I am finally finding myself some time with which to physically practice the spell I have been trying to learn, you will have to forgive.... all of it." she chuckled a bit, likely not needing to apologize but she was a rather vain creature and had a tendency to try to hide the things she couldn't do well. Still it would be far better to have someone on hand should she -really- mess up. With that thought she'd give a small smile to the elven woman before settling back into the warm rock and beginning her spell again, starting out with a soft hum and letting that reverberate around them before letting the incantations leak into her song, granted it was in Mermish so a mixture of foreign words and sounds would be all the winged woman next to her would likely be able to hear, but hell at least it was a pretty mix. Closing her eyes and letting the magic build behind her words, focusing on her legs and what she envisioned for them along with the rest of her form.

[15:30] Merialeth Windstar (caireannliadan) watched quietly, nodding softly in full understanding, then smiled as she listened to the music... Her eyes flicking about them knowing Nixie would be at risk while she was distracted and not wanting to have anything come up on them, whilst she was unaware.

[15:32] Xhoba Damballah (Richter) slid up to the rocky bank out of the woods, humming under his breath almost in time to the quiet rattle of bones as he moved, slowing the whole process down when he heard voices, his head hooded but he was not wearing his half skull mask this time

[15:39] Nixie (adalori) was immensely grateful to Meri keeping watch, or she would be if she wasn't quite so focused on this little practice session. Instead her attention was on the form she wanted to take, something familiar so she simply imagined a mer much like herself, tanned skin and a red tail. Nothing complicated, she seemed to lace these thoughts in with the incantation, little under tones in that second timbre of her voice. Normally those wisps would be flaring up around her now but this time it seemed it was different, still learning to channel her mana in this new spell it was taking more concentrated effort and she may have gotten a word or two wrong... her brow creased slightly, a rather sharp tingling beginning to suffuse through her legs. Hey maybe that meant it was working though? As for what was going on around her, the Siren was quite oblivious.

[15:42] Merialeth Windstar (caireannliadan) shifted about, her eyes flicking around her, and catching sight of an unusual form near the tree behind her. Her ehad tipping slightly, perusing him carefully before dipping her head in silent greeting, not wishing to distract Nixie, at least not unless she had to. She'd offer a faint smile with that nod, still listening to Nixie's spell, the sense of Magic in the air growing and teasing at Meri's senses as she forced herself -not- to hum as was her instinct.


[15:45] Xhoba Damballah (Richter) tongue flicked out tasting those nearby on the air, midnight starry eyes focusing on the unwinged of the two as he could all but taste the magic she was drawing in around her, coming to a stop a good distance away, it was never a wise idea to interrupt a casting, even cantrips could go badly

[15:52] Nixie (adalori) kept her mind on that red tailed tan skinned mer she was trying to turn into, a lose reference... something easy and familiar to practice.... Her tone became.. not louder, but more powerful, a tingling suffusing through her whole body as she kept building, pulling her magic in around her as her voice rose and echoed loudly around them. Meri at least might notice that it wasn't the same that it usually was, not quite as smooth, not quite as ethereal and .... as it would seem to reach a crescendo.. it cracked and she faltered as pain flared through her legs, the unexpectedness of it bringing the Siren to a stuttering halt, not even the pleasing echos seemed to continue just silence from her for a long moment before she would hiss lowly at the rather empty ache left behind as her mana escaped from her grasp. "Dammit." she muttered lowly, gritting her teeth and looking at Meri, and her legs... yep still the same, not even a red tint left behind... "Well... I do suppose that is why you practice these things..." though her tone was of course disappointed, looking at the winged woman she still wouldn't quite notice the Naga a ways off yet.

[15:55] Merialeth Windstar (caireannliadan) would have been grateful had she known what kept his distance and his silence, but as it was she'd flick a look back to Nixie, as the Magic rose and peaked. Nixie's hiss and look of frustration one Meri understood all too well from her own studies. Her own softly-musical voice murmuring "You'll get there... it just takes time, and more practice. You'll get it." nodding resolutely and tiping her head behind her a moment before turning again and lifting her voice to cal over now that the Magic had faded "Good day to you..." with a polite dip of her head towards the dark form in the distance.

[15:30] Nixie (adalori) was going to practice in the safety of cove this time. Where people couldn't actually see her fuck up this time... well except for Aeramis guarding the treasury but that was okay... sitting splay legged on the couch, she focused this time on something even simpler, a woman that looked like her, red hair and tanned skin, green eyes, nothing different proportion wise just aesthetics... surely that shouldn't be so hard... she would then start up that lilting singing of hers.

[15:41] Sin'istram (w0mbraider Resident) rose from the water silent at always, he'd passed by Tulio easily enough. Aeramis would be a bit more tricky. The Hunter would melt into the shadows and follow the outer wall along the water line to peek in Aeramis's direction. Back turned, perfect! Though he'd scold the man later for not being more attentive, Tulio even more so. He'd creep along wall and scale the section that led in to the library to lay in wait just outside the broken section that served as window. He'd slowly twist to look in on the unsuspecting Siren engrossed in her study.

[15:43] Nixie (adalori) leaned her head back, exhaling through the tune she had begun to sing, lacing incantations into her words and building them up upon one another. Small hand gestures were being added in this time, a flick of the hand, the drawing of a symbol in the air. A faint shimmering left in the wake of the drawn rune. Still focusing on that visage she let her voice ring out louder as she began to cast, wisps beginning to flare up around her eyes and a shiver running through her at the building of mana. There was no way in creation the Siren would have noticed the Hunteron the ledge outside.

[15:56] Sin'istram (w0mbraider Resident) would study the Idani for a good long while, cocking his head every now and then as he saw the faint shimmers of Arcane power play across her skin. Yeah he was totally being a peeping tom but it didn't really count since she had clothes on.

[16:02] Nixie (adalori) continued on, completely oblivious. The wisps that had begun to gather about her eyes began trailing across her skin, though rather than flitting around her as they usually did, the sort of just... wandered. Perhaps the woman didn't have as good a grasp as she was hoping. Her two timbre voice began to hint at the magic she was playing with, evident in the way it echoed and nearly floated in the air around her. Mermish chanting filling the cavern and a sharp tingling beginning to suffuse through her body.

[16:11] Sin'istram (w0mbraider Resident) would duck down as she concentrated and slid to the opposite side, the candles flickering as he moved. He'd peer over at her once more watching her movements. So very intriguing and captivating the Siren was. The Hunter would continue to watch from the shadows as she went about her spellwork.

[16:23] Nixie (adalori) made a couple of sharp hand motions, that tingling flaring up into full blown pain through her limbs, a low hiss filtering into that song she sung and those wisps flaring brightly before suddenly extinguishing, her Song cutting short too as she crunched over with another hiss, the spell faltering and fizzling along with the mana she had gathered. She panted for a little bit before hissing again in agitation and standing with a slight wobble, that tingling not completely gone yet. She was going to have to re-evaluate her approach to this... A thoroughly annoyed look on her face as she turned to leave.

[12:12] Nixie (adalori) was practicing that spell again, humming under her breath and letting the echo bounce around the cavern. The discussion she'd had prior with the Naga floated through her mind and she decided perhaps she would try that train of thought instead. Letting the magic well up from inside her as she began in a low tone, slowly letting the Mermish chanting build up, head swaying softly in time with the music as she envisioned what she wished others to see. More of a transparency over her real self. Slowly sinking in and becoming reality.

[12:19] Nixie (adalori) continued with her eerie chanting Song, letting the cool tingling washing over her welcomed this time, her hand flexing slightly as she let her voice ring out around the cavern. She had two guards and Sira'Kess lurking around somewhere, if she wasn't safe here then whatever got to her deserved a gold star and the rest of the lot a good beating.... Not paying attention to her surroundings, focusing solely on what she was envisioning for herself, her hands drawing symbols in the air as she chanted.

[12:19] Sin'istram (w0mbraider Resident) rose from the waters, silent as death like always. He padded up the stairs to where Aeramus usually watched over the treasury from. He'd nod to the man holding a finger to his lips wishing for his discretion but making his presence known to him just the same. With that he'd skulk among the shadows to the outside of the library and lay in wait as he heard the Idani's voice within.

[12:25] Nixie (adalori) hummed, letting the lilting music wash over the cavern, over herself. She could feel it welling up from where she drew her power. She could feel the sharp tingling all over her body. She could feel warmth around her face and... in her hair.... a frown creased upon her features at the odd sensation but she kept that chanting up until she was sure she had finished all the words, looking down to herself as.... it was quite obvious the spell had failed and she grumbled lowly under her breath until a lock of..... blond... "TIDES DAMMIT!!!" ewwwwwwwww!!!! She huffed.... it hadn't worked but... it hadn't failed completely... so at least she was making progress???

[12:28] Sin'istram (w0mbraider Resident) smirked as he peeked from the shadows observing the woman's progress. At least she wasn't quiet so angry like last time so that was something he supposed. He continued observing from the shadows and watched over her as she went about her training.

[12:32] Nixie (adalori) huffed and pulled the copied scroll from the scroll case, scanning over the words and motions that made up the physical aspects of the spell itself, brushing that blond hair out of her face in annoyance and muttering under her breath in Mermish, shaking her head and snorting softly. No wonder she'd been failing every time.... she'd mixed a few of the words up.

[12:38] Sira'Kess waited and watched for the Siren to become en-wrapped in her studying once more before he would pass in front of the window to better observe her as she continued on. It was very curios watching her learning a spell, though it was something he himself would need to do now that he could call upon magic though his was to a much lesser degree than hers.

[12:43] Nixie (adalori) practiced under her breath, not actually drawing power from the Song this time, just trying to hammer down the words so she didn't slip up again.... fingertips tracing along the scroll as she moved back to curl up on the couch, dragging one of the soft warm blankets over her with a contented noise.

[12:46] Sin'istram (w0mbraider Resident) smirked as she went for the blanket and shook his head as he pulled back and moved around the corner. Once again he came to the spot where he'd been caught last time. He waited a few moments again before attempting to scale the wall and this time hopefully the stone would cooperate and not give him away by shifting.

[12:46] Sin'istram rolls R6 (IoV:#7a76#): 20 - Don't move the rocks.
[12:47] Nixie rolls R0 (IoV:#8d46#): 5 - Rocks, what rocks?

[12:54] Nixie (adalori) was about as observant as a box of rocks and today was no exception. She was rather absorbed in her scroll and in her studies.... she needed to change her hair back dammit....

[12:58] Sin'istram (w0mbraider Resident) would continue his assent and casual observancy of the Idani and her new hair color. He'd climb up a bit more and sit sideways at the apex of the ruin, his feet kicked up over one stone with his back resting against the other.

[11:55] Nixie (adalori) hummed lowly under her breath. Okay, time to try again. Hopefully she wouldn't wind up a blond this time... standing up and shaking herself out, humming a bit more to prepare before beginning to draw arcane symbols in the air with her hand, singing softly under her breath in the chant that would be needed to make the spell work, her eyes were closed and she swayed slightly where she stood as she concentrated.

[12:01] Sin'istram (w0mbraider Resident) skulked among the shadows in his usual manner as he padded along the top of the ruins of the Library. He'd kneel above the couch and observe in curiosity as always as the Idani stood and ready herself. Perhaps her hair would turn red this time.

[12:04] Nixie (adalori) continued the drawing of archaic symbols in the air, a faint purple shimmer left behind in the wake of her clawed fingertip. She let her voice rise, the wisps that normally ghosted around her eyes flaring up and beginning to dance sinuously around her, coiling lazily and traveling up the arm which wrote the symbols mid air. Concentrating on the feeling of power welling up inside her along with the tingling that had always seemed to accompany the spell.

[12:09] Sin'istram (w0mbraider Resident) would sit and watch as he saw the little wisps of mana charged power dance about her eyes. He was happy to report he'd had his own research to show her though he'd discovered it as his powers manifested weeks ago. He chose today to show her more out of preference though.

[12:16] Nixie (adalori) was focusing on the color red, a red tail perhaps, red hair... Maybe she should have concentrated a little harder though. That magic flared up around her and a hiss permeated her words, jerking her hand a bit in the symbols she was drawing and wincing. The harsh, sharp, pain subsiding and she cracked her eyes open catching sight of.... HER HAND WAS RED!!! A loud shrieking sound of anger and shock would echo around the cavern, horror written over her features. SHE WAS RED!!! HER SKIN WAS RED!!! Aramis came bolting up the stairs to the library and just stood there with a dumbfounded look on his face. "OUT!" she pointed, hissing in indignation. "Red... what... RED!!!" just... not... this was not her day.

[12:23] Sin'istram (w0mbraider Resident) felt his shoulders slump as his expression went flat....The Idani...was red....Not her hair or anything specific. Nope she'd been turned completely red, ever her dress's formerly purple parts were now red. It'd be fun in any other circumstance but in this case, it would do poorly for anyone to see her. He'd give a low hiss to Aramis as the mer tried to stifle a laugh now that he was out of sight of the Idani. He'd throw a dagger at his feet and give a warning in Mer. "Tell no one or I take out the offending appendage." He'd slide off the wall and step off the couch to come to the Idani's side showing concern rather than amusement.

[16:01] Nixie (adalori) settled herself into her little bed, inhaling softly and slowly. This would be the first she'd practiced in her natural form, she didn't want this one to turn her something that couldn't breath under here so she'd simply focus on her tail. Change the shape, change the hue. Something simple that hopefully wouldn't backfire horribly on her this time....

[16:08] Nixie (adalori) made herself comfortable and inhaled deeply, letting the exhale out in a low hum. She looked over her tail, each little scale, the ornate fins, the dark purple coloring and closed her eyes, envisioning that changing, blue.... it would be blue... humming turning into that chant, hands moving to draw glyphs into the air as she let her Song rise, feeling the warm pull from her center as she called the magic forward and the cool tingle she'd begun to associate with this spell along her flesh. Shivering softly as she chanted. Blue in color.... thinner, less flare... more streamline.... lacing the desires into the chant.

[16:15] Nixie (adalori) could feel that tingle intensify, becoming more like sharp pricks, centered in her tail though she did not open her eyes. Focusing loosly on her chant, enough to ensure she kept those words correct, but most of her attention was on the specifics of what she wanted the spell to do for her. Thinner... more streamlined, traveling up now.... there would be no change to the rest of her... a similar yet different form. The warmth from the pull of magic battling, in vain, with the coldness of what she has hoping meant her tail was changing in accordance with her wishes... rather than another mishap from before... NO. Not the time to think of such things. She needed to concentrate...

[16:19] Nixie (adalori) kept that chanting up, shuddering softly as she did and making the motions through the air, the glyphs leaving behind the faintest of shimmers, much like the ghosts of wisps that usually danced around her eyes. Inhaling sharply at the intensity of that tingling and resisting the urge to open her eyes right this very second to see if it worked, finishing off that chant, holding the last note and pushing that mana in the direction it would need to go... but... she flinched. Once again the mana had escaped her grasp.. neglecting to do as she wished it and she hesitantly opened her eyes to see the potential damage done...

[16:24] Nixie (adalori) sighed in relief upon seeing that her tail was unharmed and it's normal gorgeous, in her opinion, coloration was still intact. As well as her lovely fins, running her hand along them fondly and with relief. So the spell didn't work... again... but hey!! Her tail was still there!! So that was always good....
