Kingdom of Insanity discussion

A Figure was walking across the grass nearby, noticing a trace of civilization in a building nearby, she lightly gasped, not expecting it entirely, before concealing herself in a less.. apparently dark form through some kind of illusory eldritch magic:


She then approached the Diner, looking like an average Elven sorceress now to the average eye, she sat down at a table, looking across to see anyone there.

"..Huh?" She looked over to the newcomer to the table.

"..S-..Sariana, what about you?" She raised an eyebrow.

"..Just a traveler." She lied, sighing slightly, and in a tired manner. "I've been looking for any troves of mythic Arcana mentioned in legend, and have turned up little progress in turn." She admitted.

"..Er.. i'm not--" She stopped herself, sighing again.

"You know, old sorcerer's spellbooks, hidden tomes? Ancient wizardly incantations that arn't really known to anyone in this era?" She answered.

"I've already searched shops, and vaults arn't an option, i'm talking about books that haven't even been heard of yet, things that arn't known at all, spells lost to the Ages." She corrected.

"We? Hold on, i never said you could come with.." Great, she was going to have to maintain this illusory form for awhile if this individual came along.

"..Why do you keep assuming i am hiding something?" She asked.

Her expression turned into a frown, she could certainly understand that, however, she could not risk revealing anything.. and so would stick to a need-to-know basis, however, she would say this, to alleviate concern:
"I.. do hide things, Ms. Regina, but only as i feel it is nessecary, please do not pry..I have no ill will toward the town." She wasn't lying about that, that's for sure, she felt this was something that had to be kept in shadows..

"..Alright, Regina." She smiled somewhat, looking into the sky with a sorrowful expression.. now thinking about something else entirely.

((Righto, i saw with Queen Hatter, toodle toodle, XD))

((Queen Hatter? I rather like that name...))

((Oh? Huh, XD))

((hahahahaha!))

Juliet entered the restuarant, seeing Regina with a girl. She walked over. "Heyo, Regina."

The Sorceress looked toward the newcomer with a look of inquisition and surprise, awaiting what she assumed were two old friends to begin talking..

"Oh.." She waved at Juliet. "Hey." She said lightly.

((Mostly waiting for Soumya, XD))

Ah))

((Like i said, kinda waiting for-- Oh, alright, i guess..))

Sariana just.. looking between the two of them, standing up. "I should.. probably leave you be."

"..Wh- ..I.. usually wander alone, Regina, and i honestly prefer it that way." She admitted, looking around hesitantly.

((ARRETUY))

((Sorry guys, school has started, so I don't get much time.)) ((Btw, Regina doesnt know Juliets name.))

Juliet looked at Sariana, expression cool and composed. "Looking for magic books?" she asked casually, leaning againdt the table with a hand.

"..Yes, ones not known to the likes of anyone, yet." She confirmed.

Cinderglacier the Universal wrote: ""..Yes, ones not known to the likes of anyone, yet." She confirmed."

"I see." Juliet said.

Juliet observed her fingernails. "I don't know for sure, being a solo worker myself."

Juliet smiled wryly, thinking of Selene, but did not bother reply.

"What?" Juliet looked up.

"You could say that," Juliet shrugged, not elaborating.

"...Well, nevertheless, it's usually what i do.. no offense." Sariana admitted, now having a tone of nervousness to her, both in voice and face.

Sariana looks between them, as if for a way to leave without being traced down, trying not to move too much yet..

"..What? Oh.. it's just.. i wasn't planning to stay long." She was being truthful in that, but used it as sort of a Hyperbole for a chance to leave.

Cinderglacier the Universal wrote: ""...Well, nevertheless, it's usually what i do.. no offense." Sariana admitted, now having a tone of nervousness to her, both in voice and face."

Juliet noticed her nervousness, and was curious, but did not pry, face carefully expressionless.

Lizzy wrote: ""Well, good memories are good to remember. They help you keep going when the ones you love are gone.""

Juliet said nothing. Speaking would mean delving into memories she wanted to forget.

"...I should probably go." She admitted, giving a polite nod of sorts, and sort of walking away, holding her scepter close to her, ready with a teleport spell.

Juliet watched her go. Nervous character. Something was fishy here.

The last thing that she needed was for anyone to know her true nature, if that happened, the fear she would bring in the end..
This town looked to have enjoyed peace for many centuries, the last thing IT needed was to have that peace disrupted.

She took these thoughts to mind and used them as a sort of reasoning to flee, but would've fled anyway, considering the situation, Even if that.. Regina person wasn't going to pry, she couldn't take the chance that the newcomer would if she came along too, and besides.. circumstance would direct things wrong, as they have countless times before for her..

This is what she had to do.

And so, She began muttering an incantation in an Ancient Dialect of Elven as she continued.

Wait a second there. Juliet thought spoke as the girl began to mutter a spell. Who are you? Why are you afraid?

"..!" She stopped and turned around, as if immediately knowing the source of the transmission, looking directly at Juliet, and gasping.
She'll know.. she can hear my mind. She then outright Ran off into the trees..

Juliet moved at inhuman speed, appearing directly in front of her and smiling, flashing her trademark white fangs. "You can't outrun me, dearest. But I mean you no harm."

"No!" She said, activating the teleportation spell immediately when Juliet finished her sentence, her form de-materializing into a triad of orbs which zoomed away at similiar speeds in a random direction...

Juliet smiled and watched her go, sending out a burst of power to track down where Sarina would reappear.

It was difficult to pinpoint.. she seemed to try concealing her energies, but these orbs were heading to a vantage hill, overlooking the town she had fled from..

Juliet leaned against a tree, patiently waiting for her to appear somewhere, totally at ease.

The Orbs hit their mark, re-materializing Sariana, she sighed, looking around to make sure Juliet wouldn't speed over suddenly.. but taking no chances, she immediately used a Density shifting spell, phasing into the ground almost immediately as she became transparent as a result of said spell.

Juliet appeared in front of her again, smiling. "I won't hurt you, dear. I'm just curious."

With a wave of her hand she prevented Sariana from teleporting again.

Already having halfway phased into the ground, she gave a surprised look to see Juliet appear again, before completely sinking into the ground..

She was gone again.

Juliet was still calmly tracking her.

..Through the rocks, cleverly controlling her density and almost levitating by, she eventually re-appeared and returned to normal tangibility after appearing from a rock and floating briefly.

Juliet appeared on one of the rocks, lounging on it casually. "Stop running. You can't run forever. Whatever you are running from will eventually catch up with you."

Sariana looked up to her, and almost glared. "It's already caught up with me, i just cannot let you witness it." Playing dumb was pointless, this person knows something is up, and so, only base explanations would be given, nothing more.

Sariana then chanted something, one word, hard to make out..

Then, she was coated in some kind of particles.. spectral, ghost-like particles, and then, she was gone.

Vanished without a trace.

Juliet tilted her head, leaning back against the rock she sat on, amused.

..Whatever method of tracking was used seemed to scatter and dissipate, she was no longer traceable..
