Void Rift (rp) - Intermission

"Yeah, why?"

"Try not to stress her out too much more."


"Huh? Hello there." She says, caught a bit off guard.

 

"C-Can I speak to you in private, Stephanie?" Angela asks nervously.

"Oh, uh, sure." Stephanie says getting up. Angela leads Stephanie away from Sapphire, as well as anyone else.


"Greetings, Madame Xlentia. I have come 'ere with my group of fine painters to create a masterpiece on your armour!" The Shadow says, his accent french, "If you would tell me what you would like to be painted, I can create an example for you, my cherie."

The Shadow summons a canvas and paints in front of him, looking up at Xlentia and smiling.

 

"Flowery patterns or something... I just want it to look nice." Xlentia says, uncurling herself.

 

The Shadow quickly paints on his canvas, often looking up at Xlentia.

A short while later, the Shadow turns his canvas around, and a detailed painting of Xlentia is shown. However, unlike Xlentia, the painting's version has black roses all over its armour.

"Is this good enough, Madame?" The Shadow asks.

 

"For a friend. Her paint stash got burned."

 

"Could you add some touches of midnight blue as well?" She asks, looking pleased.

"Dyes, or paints? Some people just mix dyes."

 

The Shadow goes back to painting, before turning it around again shortly after. A bed of black roses lies under a midnight blue sky on Xlentia's armour, a few yellow stars dotting the sky with a yellow crescent moon on Xlentia's helmet.

"What do you think, Madame?" The Shadow asks.

 

"Looks just fine!" She says, pleased.

 

"Most likely a mix of dyes. First the word dyes was used, then 'duller paints' was used."

 

"Excellent, then we can begin work!" The Shadow says, turning to the large group of earth guardians and summoning large vats of paint next to him.

"Copy the design I have made for you, please." The Shadow says to the earth guardians. The earth guardians take out buckets and paintbrushes, and get to work on taking bucketfuls of paint and telekinetically painting Xlentia's armour, mimicking the design the Shadow made.

 

"So, mostly dyes and a few paints?"

Xlentia keeps still, though small micromovements are exaggerated even as she stands otherwise still.

 

"If you can spare them."

 

"They'll be in a box outside the portal room by the time you get there. You didn't define color, so... I hope you can carry a whole crate full of dyes."

 

"Depends on the size of the crate, but that's mainly for handing. Thanks."
I say, smiling.

 

"No problem. Good luck, as always."

 

"Have a good day."
I say, turning and heading back to the portal room.

 

"You too."

Back at the portal room, there seems to be a large crate that's labeled "THIRTEEN."

 

I lift the crate, arching my back backwards to see how hard it is to carry.

 

"Sometimes I don't think it's wise going around saying who you actually are. There may be people who have some kind f vendetta against Gods of Destructions or something along those lines." I say, "Anyways, I question the somewhat odd animosity between this city and the hydra. I also wish to know what the job opportunities in this city are.

 

The earth guardians correct any mistakes they make from Xlentia's movements, painting precisely.

Many, many hours later, as paint supplies run critically low, Xlentia's armour is finished. A bed of black roses winds around her feet and lower body half, while a midnight blue starry sky hangs above on her upper body and head.

"You look...magnifique." The Shadow says, smiling.
