This Is Your Fey On Caffeine

Located directly adjacent to the Rec Center is the Student Union building, housing a well-stocked bar and arcade, billiards and an open area with couches and coffee tables.

This Is Your Fey On Caffeine

Postby Gemmalara » Tue Sep 05, 2017 5:02 pm

Gemma's foot was tapping incessantly as she sat on one of the couches, reading a book and sipping at a cup of coffee. The tapping had long since driven off everyone sitting near her, even though it still managed to have a musical rhythm to it.

As Gemma looks up, Sam gets a sort of weird double-vision. There's the pointy-eared young woman sitting their in traditional lazy college student garb of jeans and sweatshirt, but over that is chain armor of some sort of metal that shifts colors with each subtle movement. She's not wearing a helmet, but Sam can easily see that a sword hangs at her side and a shield on her back. The shield is translucent, but of the same shifting colors as the armor. In between blinks, the overlay disappears and she's left with the pointy-eared young woman. Unbidden, one of Sam's ravens flies over to rest on the young woman's shoulder, but it doesn't seem to bother her. She glances around at the other couches, noticing the wide berth for the first time, "I'm sorry. Someone should have said something, though I guess you are."

Sam blinks a bit in confusion, steadying herself.

"Well I know how it feels to get a rhythm stuck in your head. You must be Gemma."

Gemma seems to choose her words carefully, "No offense to the Lady, but she's... not a warrior. Trained yes, but not the way I was. We... have to make our peace with the Morrigan as a part of our training. If someone can't do that, they can't be counted on. They step back at the wrong time, they flinch or drop their guard because they're afraid of dying and they cost more than their own lives."

"...kind of reminds me of a song," she says as she fishes out her phone.

Sitting down, she spends a moment fiddling with it before setting it on the table as music comes out of it.

Much like Gemma was earlier, she keeps time with her hand on her hip.

Gemma listens quietly, her foot tapping in response as she picks up the rhythm of the music. As it ends, she adds, "Wise words." She glances at the phone carefully without touching it, "This is some sort of worship song from some sort of cult?"
