[Halfway] Checking the Manifest

It didn't happen... but it WOULD HAVE BEEN AWESOME

[Halfway] Checking the Manifest

Postby Natalie Denisov » Sun Feb 26, 2017 4:54 pm

If one looked at the Rift from the outside, Intercept mused, it would probably be a strange looking thing. Especially when it was in the process of a 'manifest'. Currently, Nailah's room was well on it's way to completion. But several other quarters had shifted to make room for where Core had decided the room should go. No one ever had problems finding their quarters though or if they did they hadn't said anything... which was weird now that she had time to think about it. Each agent's quarters were decorated to suit their tastes and the worlds they came from, a little bit of home away from anything that might qualify as home.

Intercept's room was the exception. It was spartan by Rift standards and only had a few things from home. She was the Rift's first agent, the first person Core had snatched out of their home Earth to work for the Rift. Other agents had followed, but Intercept had taught Core about the importance of things from home and the quarters of every agent since then had been completely furnished. She could have Core remanifest her rooms, make them more comfortable, but she really spent so little time in them that she didn't see the need. No one else could talk to Core the way she could, so it felt like an abuse of the privilege. So here she stood, outside the newly manifesting door to Nailah's quarters, watching another agent's home coalesce into being.

A tall, tattooed redhead storms past Intercept. Still dressed in the biker gear they found her in when she was recruited, she angrily bangs on Tere-za's door.

"Alright, joke's over!"

"...she knows what she did," she growls.

She does seem to be without her jacket.

"Now, now," Intercept tries to soothe Sam's feelings. "I can't have a werewolf rampaging through here, so I'm going to have to ask you to calm yourself."

"No, I'm not saying that, but I'm also not equipped to handle a howling mad werewolf if you let her actions get the better of you." She smiles, "If it would make you feel better, I can open her door for you and you two can have it out. Her room should withstand the ensuing nonsense."

"Core, open Tere-za's room please," Intercept said. Then, responding to something Sam cannot see, "Yes, I am aware, but I think it's for the best."

After a moment more, Tere-za's door hissed open and jungle sounds emanated from the opening along with an irritated "So it's going to be like this is it?"

"I'm not particularly happy about it myself." The room is decorated like a dry cave, a large carved throne on one wall that Tere-za is currently draping herself in. a bed covered in furs is in one corner and there's a holographic fire in the center of the room.

Out in the hallway, Intercept rolls her eyes and the door shuts behind Sam.

"Should've thought of that before you took it," Sam says, circling the fire, her nostrils flaring as she takes in the scents of the room.

It only takes her a moment to find the coat, hanging off one corner of the back of the throne. "There... are... rules..." She pokes her finger in Sam's direction. She, of course, is dressed in leather, though with significantly more fur. The room itself is particularly warm, almost tropical.

"Maybe my rules are different from yours," she curls a lip, baring sharpening teeth.

"I don't know why I'm the one you keep bothering," she says, her eyes paling to golden from green, never leaving Tere-za's. Her nails are already pushing forth into claws as sparse red fur begins to sprout along her inked arms.

"Because you take the bait," she says with a grin as Sam starts to change. She stands from the throne with an easy grace and flexes her hands. "You want your skins back?" The rest of the taunt is left in her grin.

"I don't flirt, princess..."

She snarls and takes a leap at Tere-za, her body bursting with rusty pelt as it wrenches into five hundred pounds of disagreeable werewolf.

"There we go," Tere-za shouts with delight, slamming herself forward. She's a lot stronger than she looks and she manages to stall Sam's leap, grabbing onto Sam's pelt and slamming her forehead forward against Sam's snout.

Tere-za's just a bit too slow to get out of the way, possibly due to headbutting a werewolf skull, and the haymaker clips her and knocks her back a step. She grins, rubbing at the spot with her forearm before resuming her fighting stance, "Nice one, but my grandmother could hit harder than that."

Tere-za moves into Sam's reach, taking the blow from Sam's arms on both of her shoulders rather than the point of the hammer. She grunts, but manages to remain standing as she goes to wrap Sam in her arms to try to slam her into the floor.

She just seems to be fighting for the fun of it at this point, so Sam has no trouble kicking her away, giving her an opening to make for the jacket on the throne. Of course, Tere-za's getting back to her feet and looks like she's still ready to rumble.

Tere-za is lifted off her feet and slammed into the wall, which dents slightly as the air is knocked out of her. "Now, we're talking," she gasps, slamming her fist into Sam's ribs as fast as she can.
