Void Rift (rp) - Intermission

"I guess if the draconians are too scared to make a move, we can at least relax for a bit. I'll see if the potion wears off by itself or I have to take action." Artemis says, eyeing Abigail.

"Aj...we should be like...a secret relationship..." Abigail tries, and fails to whisper, giggling. Artemis doesn't seem happy.

"Please listen to what you've just said and reconsider your next course of actions. I think you need to try and snap yourself back to your senses."

"Noooooooooooooooooo, I'm fiiiiiiiiiiiine," Abigail says, giggling, clearly not fine, "We shouuullllddd tottaaaaaaallly kissssss."

Artemis glares at Abigail.

 

"You guys are just full of good ideas."
I mumble to myself, sarcastically.

 

"So you're saying we shouldn't rely on Virei'tus' protection?" Artemis asks.

Abigail stares at me dreamily, giggling. I seem a little unnerved.

 

"No,"
I make a gesture to Abigail.
"I'm saying that was not a good idea."

 

"I can't help it, she wanted to try it and took it off me; against Ihra's judgement." I say, looking away.

Abigail suddenly grabs me and kisses me, holding me tight. Artemis snaps, becoming enraged.

Artemis jump kicks Abigail, knocking her and I to the floor.

"NOBODY. KISSES. AJ. BUT. ME!" Artemis shouts assertively, picking me up off the floor.

Artemis holds me and kisses me to prove her point.

Stephanie puts her head in her hands, embarrassed. Katie seems rather shocked; as do I.

 

"Uh-oh..."
I seem more worried about what's going to happen between the two.

 

Artemis eventually lets go of me, and I fall to the ground; dazed after the events that just happened.

Vines wrap around Abigail's arms and legs, before holding her up. Artemis bites Abigail's neck, drinking some of her blood before the vines hold her up higher.

Abigail struggles, held high above the ground in the mass of vines, "Stay up there and think about who you just messed with until that potion wears off." Artemis says, picking me up and kissing me again; forcing Abigail to watch.

"Noooooooo hiiiiis...miiiiiine!" Abigail shouts, still affected by the potion. Artemis kisses me passionately, a few vines forcing Abigail's vision; I don't seem to mind.

 

"Can't she just... Burn the vines?"
I quietly mumble to myself.

 

"Don't give her ideas; she doesn't seem to be able to think rationally when she's under the effects of the potion." Artemis says.

The vines suddenly burst into flames.

"You jinxed it." I say, still rather dazed after what just happened.

"I'm here to...to take back my man!" Abigail says, floating to the ground.

"He's my boyfriend, Abigail, not yours." Artemis says, still annoyed.

"He shaaaaaaaallll be miiiiiine!" Abigail says, tackling me to the ground.

"Get off me!" I shout.

A few vines try and grab Abigail, but they just burn away. Abigail pins me to the ground.

 

I get an idea, and suddenly run over to Abigail.
I grab her my the forearm.
"Hey Abigail. I wanna show you something pretty! Can you follow me?"
I say in the voice people use when they talk to small children.

 

Abigail gasps, "Really! Lemme see lemme see lemme see!" Abigail says excitedly, getting off of me.

I roll out of the way before Abigail gets a chance to pin me again, and Artemis helps me back onto my feet.

"Sorry about...all that." I say, feeling ashamed.

"Don't worry, it's not your fault. I know you'd never cheat on me." Artemis says, smiling.

I hug Artemis. Katie smiles.

 

I lead Abigail a bit away from the group.
"Watch this."
I say, as I put a foot up in the air and turn on the rocket for that foot, but only a bit, so it doesn't blast me away.

 

"Whooaaaaaaa...you shoot rainbows out of your feet!" Abigail says, falling to the ground and touching the fire from your foot.

 

I look back to Artemis, and smile.
I lay down on the ground, put up both of my feet, and slightly turn on both of them.
"So many rainbows."
I whisper.

 

"Whoaaaa...I had no idea labelled tin cans could shoot rainbows..." Abigail says.

Artemis smiles back, "I guess you just have to distract her with childish things." She says.

"Well, it does make everything seem a whole lot better than it actually is. We use it to distract ourselves when killing people, I guess the effects are much stronger on non-Shadows though." I say.

"Why does it make you fall in love with people though?" Katie asks, walking closer to us.

"Well, if you think of the spectrum of a relationship going from about Hate, to Disliking, to Neutrality, to Liking, to Loving, it boosts it up quite a bit. If you consider friendship liking someone, yet not in a way of attraction, the potion will make that liking seem a whole lot stronger than it actually is, making you 'Love' the person; essentially Boyfriend or Girlfriend status," I explain, "The potion made Abigail's friendship with me seem like she was actually in love with me."

"I think we should probably just let you drink it, then." Katie says.

"Agreed." Artemis says.

"I concur." Stephanie says.

"That's probably the best idea, yes." I say.

 

Hearing this, I look back and give a thumbs-up.
I continue distracting Abigail.

 

Stephanie throws you a colourful crystal. It emits a bright light, fading between the colours of the rainbow occasionally.

Abigail seems completely distracted by the crystal, "Preeeeeeeeeeeeeetyyyyyyyyyyy" She drones, staring at the crystal.

 

I take the crystal, turn off my boots, and hold the crystal near the ground.

 

Abigail tackles you to the ground and tries to grab the crystal off you.

"GIMMIE GIMMIE GIMMIE!" She shouts.

 

I loosely hold the crystal near me, and look at Stephanie.
I hold a thumbs up, then a thumbs down, as if to question which one is better to do.
