Room 118 - Fair's foul and foul's fair.

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Nov 04, 2015 10:36 pm

Taking a deep breath, Sam knocks on Viv and Jez's door.

by **Vivienne Chinnoir** » Thu Nov 05, 2015 12:33 am

Vivienne answered with a slightly startled blink.

"Samantha. Hello. How may I help you?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Nov 05, 2015 12:41 am

"Er... hello. Have you... talked to Tereza lately?"

by **Vivienne Chinnoir** » Thu Nov 05, 2015 12:55 am

"A few days ago. Please come in."

Vivienne stepped back, holding the door open. As Sam steps through doorway she may feel a slight resistance, but no stronger then water surface tension. She may even pick up on a glowing rune on the door frame behind her once she's inside.

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Nov 05, 2015 12:56 am

Sam shivers a bit as she steps over the threshold.

"...that felt really weird."

by **Vivienne Chinnoir** » Thu Nov 05, 2015 1:36 am

"Ah, yes, that. My apologies. I have a ward on the room, it serves multiple purposes. Most importantly it allows me to speak and act freely. Please, sit, you asked about Tereza."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Nov 05, 2015 1:37 am

"I guess I'm just... worried about her," she says as she takes a seat.

"She probably wouldn't like me going behind her back, but she's already cross with me, so I'm not sure I can make it much worse than it already is."

by **Vivienne Chinnoir** » Thu Nov 05, 2015 1:49 am

"I see. She has been very unsettle these past few weeks. Why is she upset with you? When we spoke she did not mention that you two were having trouble as roommates."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Nov 05, 2015 1:50 am

"Did she... did she tell you about the head thing I found?"

by **Vivienne Chinnoir** » Thu Nov 05, 2015 1:58 am

"She did. She, however, did not seem upset that you found it, more so over the simple fact that it was there. She was also greatly worried about the people from her past that are in town now and looking for her."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Nov 05, 2015 2:02 am

"Well she's getting into this mindset where she's pushing everyone away. Like we shouldn't care about her. And she doesn't want to try and get that thing out of her head."

by **Vivienne Chinnoir** » Thu Nov 05, 2015 2:19 am

"She spoke of this. She cares for this place, for us. That was something she was not prepared for, I think, and she knows these individuals have the ability to harm us in order to get what they want."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Nov 05, 2015 2:21 am

"It's just... frustrating, aye? Like she's willing to sacrifice herself because she doesn't think she's worth anything."

by **Vivienne Chinnoir** » Thu Nov 05, 2015 2:34 am

"Believe it or not, she and I have similar pasts. She once told me that she was expected to serve. It did not seem like a thing of choice. I say from experience, it is not pleasant existence being another's pawn. Enough time being told one is nothing but a tool, disposable and expendable, one eventually begins to believe it. She values us more then she values herself, it is a very human attribute."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Nov 05, 2015 2:48 am

"I don't care how explainable it is, she's going to get hurt."

by **Vivienne Chinnoir** » Thu Nov 05, 2015 3:04 am

"And now we have come full circle. She does not wish for you to be hurt and you do not wish for her to be hurt, but with these people someone will be hurt sooner or later. The questions are, what are you willing to do to keep her and yourself safe? Can you do both?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Nov 05, 2015 3:10 am

"I can't... I can't do nothing. You know?"

by **Vivienne Chinnoir** » Thu Nov 05, 2015 3:32 am

"I understand, but just how far are you willing to go?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Nov 05, 2015 3:51 am

"She was my first friend here. She knows... a lot of the stuff I went through."

"I'd do a lot for her, but she just won't let me. That's... that's what we fought over."

by **Vivienne Chinnoir** » Fri Nov 06, 2015 1:41 pm

"Correction, she does not want you to do anything, she can not actually stop you. I suggest you wait and watch. The opportunity will present itself."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Nov 06, 2015 4:35 pm

"I don't know if that's... how I'm wired, aye?"

by **Vivienne Chinnoir** » Fri Nov 06, 2015 5:09 pm

"The only comfort I gave her was the reassurance that I can and will take a life to protect what I feel is mine. An aspect of my nature that I do not wish to over indulge."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Nov 06, 2015 6:16 pm

"Yeah, well I... I get that. I do."

by **Vivienne Chinnoir** » Fri Nov 06, 2015 8:10 pm

"She does not wish for you to have to make that choice. From what I can gather, with these people such a choice is quite likely. Taking such an action stains a soul and whether or not I have such a cumbersome aspect is up to much debate. Wagers have been placed."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Nov 06, 2015 8:24 pm

"How do you... how do you deal with that side of yourself?"

by **Vivienne Chinnoir** » Fri Nov 06, 2015 9:14 pm

"I suspect in much the same way you deal with having red hair and freckles. I simply am. Some how my two natures coexist, for the most part. It has only been very recent that when they do not. At such times my reason for being here is my motivation for my actions. I am here in the human world, therefore I must abide by the human rules. In some thing I simply mimic because it is in my best interest to do so, in others I do feel a sense of "right or wrong"."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Nov 06, 2015 9:34 pm

"So you've just... always had it, then?"

by **Vivienne Chinnoir** » Fri Nov 06, 2015 9:54 pm

"It was never an issue until I arrived at Court. Then it became a sort of sport to see just how fey or how human I would behave in certain situations. To test my loyalties they said."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Nov 06, 2015 9:55 pm

"I guess for me, human was... the only option for the longest time, aye?"

by **Vivienne Chinnoir** » Fri Nov 06, 2015 10:21 pm

"You speak of your X-gene gift. I have read the documentation provided by the Xavier's Foundation. It is not uncommon for the change from human to...something more, to be quite sudden and shocking."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Nov 06, 2015 10:26 pm

"I'm talking about how I feel bloody insane sometimes. I think... you might have been there once when it happened."

by **Vivienne Chinnoir** » Fri Nov 06, 2015 10:34 pm

"The Ravens. Yes, I do have my own theory."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Nov 06, 2015 10:35 pm

"...a lot of people have theories."

"I'm... not sure what to think."

by **Vivienne Chinnoir** » Fri Nov 06, 2015 10:52 pm

"I am working on proof that, in some, what has been called the X-gene by your science, is in fact, fey in origin. During the time shortly before the barrier between our worlds was raised there were a select few who willingly chose to remain with the humans. It is rumored that this group was lead by a fey queen. A queen so strong and feared that the humans made her a Goddess. She commanded the Ravens, the Ravens were responsible for carrying the souls of fallen fey warriors to our Underworld, to return them to the Source of Magic."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Nov 06, 2015 10:59 pm

"But I'm... not her. If I was, I'd know it, aye?"

by **Vivienne Chinnoir** » Fri Nov 06, 2015 11:42 pm

"I can only tell you what I see and what I feel around you. I believe the Phantom Queen is with you. Why? I can not say for sure. Perhaps you are a descendant and a small portion of her power resides within you. The Raven merely watches over you. It is also possible you and she are one, a true blending, I believe the closest term you humans have is "reincarnation". She could even simply be watching through you, completely separate but still a part of you. Regardless, if it is her I feel then I do not think she will harm you or let you be harmed in anyway."

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Nov 07, 2015 12:01 am

"Is that why you always look at me like I've grown a second head?"

by **Vivienne Chinnoir** » Sat Nov 07, 2015 12:48 am

"In a sense you have and how often does one meet a person with the essence of a being who once was responsible for the souls of an entire race of people?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Nov 07, 2015 1:12 am

Sam gives a nervous laugh.

"...no pressure, aye?"

by **Vivienne Chinnoir** » Sat Nov 07, 2015 1:33 am

"Indeed. Most surprising. Fey have not seen her in ages and those who did in the past were most likely dying on battlefields."
