" Happy Holidays from everyone here in Shang Tu! "
Milla got a visit from Cream
"Merry Christmas and Happy Stones Day, Miss Milla. Emerl and Mr. Torque told me all about you. And Mr. Sorrow said you make amazing cookies. Would it be alright to try one?"
" OH Hello! "
She smiled warmly at the young rabbit! Pushing her big floppy dog ears back over her shoulders! Smiling bright as the summer sun! The Dog girl seemed overjoyed to have a visitor!
" Did they now? hehe! well i am happy i made a good impression! but of course you can have some! I just got done making some dragon's beard candies! also my friends enjoy sugar cookies so those to! hehe! "
She motioned for Cream to come on inside despite all the boxes still unpacked she was more then happy with her new home!
" Alright! Holiday Sweets are done! packages wrapped! hot cocoa ready and waiting! all peppermint slimes accounted for! It's gonna be a happy holiday for sure! "
" Though come to think of it... i'm pretty sure this holiday doesn't originate here on avalice... i wonder how it got popular... "
"The peppermint what now? Milla, what did you do?"
" ... made living candy slime balls... "
She said it so casually!
" Peppermint flavored... "
" I wonder if Neera has forgotten about the peppermint slime incident from last Christmas... "
"Ghost Festival? Is that anything like All Hollows' Eve that other lands celebrate around this time?"
" huh i'm not sure! Maybe? I've never really heard of all hallows eve before. "
She scratched her cheek curiously thinking about it, as she had little information on other cultures.
" I suppose so! originally it was a day to celebrate and visit the dearly departed. now though its a bit more commercialized... i blame Mayor Zhao..."
" The Ghost Festival is in a few days! i need to finish making up these bags of treats for the local kids! I hope i made enough ... "
Stares at the 5 and a half foot pile of candy bags!
" Hmm--- maybe i made to many... "
"You finally have a place for your own shop? Congratulations, Milla!"
" I always had a place for it! just it was also kind of my house! which honestly hasn't changed much! just i'm still living in an apartment upstairs! but it's made for pandas! and not rabbits! so its not so small! and cramped... "
" Course the rent is alot higher, but i am hoping for better traffic... "
" it's finally happening! i have acquired a building in Shang Tu! soon my little shop will be even smaller! but in the big city! on a street no one travels on! Milla's Sundries is going big! "
Evil Doggo Laugh!
" Nearly missed Halloween--- gosh that would have bummed me out! but what should i go as? oh dear..."
" ... I'd Pay to see Carol on a log in any body of water... "
she couldn't help but laugh softly
" Oh, the image in my head--- priceless! "
" OH Carol is finally back from her sabbatical? vacation? personal time off! "
She hand her arms full of alchmical components
" now what was i doing? oh right i need to fill that order for Mayor Zhao and the Battle Sphere! "
She's a Survivor!
She felt as if her body was on fire! She had pushed herself to the limit to escape Wukong! like a violet shooting Star Lilac was practically consumed in her Qi as it rushed out of her and propelled her forward! She finally couldn't hold it any longer and, found herself skipping off the ground as she stumbled and rolled across the earth. Like a stone skipping across a Lake. She dug her feet into the ground and skidded to a stop! her shoes smoking and the smell of the rubber melting on the pavement filled the air.
Lilac could not catch her breath as she sucked in air, and sweat poured down her face. She grit her teeth as every cell in her body protested her movement. She couldn't stop though as she threw her head back and took a deep deep breath to try and get her burning lungs under control. Beads of sweat dropped down her forehead and she leaned her back against a nearby tree. Sliding down it and taking just a moment to let her body recover from such a stupid move. Her shoes were pretty wrecked, and she would have to get a new pair when she reached the city.
She still had many burning questions
Who was that guy?
Was he really Wukong?
What the hell was going on in Shang Tu?
and most of all...
Were her friends ok? that question was the only one that was important right now! She had to keep moving, find Carol and Mill and make sure Neera was ok!
She had a long day ahead of her...
Reyna didn't know that, but she'd comfort Milla about it if she did. Then Milla mentions she might be from Brevon's homeworld. "Huh...well, okay then. I'm sure as his memories come back, you'll both get the answers you want in that regard." She responds. She doesn't know the full story, but it's best for both of them to learn the truth.
"Yes, actually. I have them both right here, and I've been studying them when I can." She says pulling out two vials containing a sickly green liquid. It matches the colors on Syntax. "From what I've gathered so far, the chemical functionally alters the brain chemistry. It makes the mind malleable to suggestion, thought, and even fake memories." She explains. It was a disgusting chemical. She knows how to clear it out, but she can't completely negate the negative side effects of that. "I'll take the second vial to you when I get the chance." She finishes with before she makes the request for Saleos' asylum.
"Oh! I can do that! I think he's a good guy, at least when he's off the brainwashing juice. So I don't mind providing asylum for him. I'll even try and talk to Neera about this myself. I know full well the effects of brainwashing, to even worse extents. So I can safely argue in his favor." She replies.
Reyna...also knew what it was like to be brainwashed? How worse could it be than what he went through? He doesn't know, but he can't help but feel bad for her. However, he was grateful for her agreement to help. "Thank you, Reyna." He says bowing his head.
She nodded softly as she considered what this might mean. So Syntax likely tried to inject her with that same substance. She was able to fight it off? Maybe because of her unique biology? But why would Brevon give her such a biology if he needed to control her? Or maybe it was an unforseen mutation? Perhaps she was exposed to it when she was in the capsule but since she was released her body develped some sort of resistance. To say she was immune was not accurate. She fought with all her will to break free of Syntax and only barely managed it. Having her in her head was aweful--- but then maybe it was something else?
She was clearly lost in her thoughts and her face lost its usual cheerfulness. What ever she was thinking about had at least for a moment upset her, and distracted her entirely. But she didn't let it consume her, and she quickly shook her heads to shake away the bad feelings she was having.
" Thank you Lady Reyna! I think Saleos just needs a place to recover and mend physically and psychologically! I got that chance with Lilac and Carol and i want that for him to! "
Her tail swished happy she was willing to give him safe harbor.
" and i appreciate allowing me to have a sample of the chemical. I am hoping to create a sort of vaccine for it! so in the future none of us have to worry about it! I pray Brevon is long gone! but i'd rather have it and never need it! then need it and not have it! "
Milla turned to Saleos and placed her hands together in front of her
" On that Note we should probably gather your things and get you to Reyna... we'll need to meet someplace out of the public eye. Get you to Reyna's world where you can be safe. After that you should focus on your recovery... if you remember or dont remember... that's not important... "
Milla took Saleos roboting hands in her own
" You should just focus on you... getting better and being happy! leave the past behind you... and look to the future "
Truth be told, she was rather expecting this to happen. Even if that sad sap of an entitled dragon cannot take the throne herself, she'll want to get rid of anyone that she might have considered responsible, and anyone affiliated with the Magister and events from not long ago would be targeted. However, a problem with a hit fast and hard strategy is that any unknown factors can send the whole thing crashing down like a stick stuck in bicycle spokes during a race.
As much as she preferred to leave her alone, dragging Merga into this mess might be necessary and she wasn't sure if the others, being imprisoned and all was a high enough price in her eyes. However, that was what the footage of what happened between Neera, Carol, the Magister's sister, and the assassin was for.
"I wouldn't exactly call that normal healing... more of a reconstruction."
Hopefully, that would make some sense as she was basically rebuilding damaged parts instead of just fixing things faster.
Even more so, wished that Milla wasn't so injured that such a thing was necessary.
"So... Want to get there the usual way or the fast way?"
Thankfully, she had her own means of getting to places she's been quickly, even if she wasn't sure how the wildcat would handle the experience of suddenly finding themselves in an entirely different location. Teleportation sickness, especially that kind can be a bit of an issue. Feels like you just came to a sudden stop after traveling faster than the speed of light.
Something about this did make her wonder... if that woman had someone picked out for each of them, and who would they be sending after Carol specifically if she wasn't in the wrong place?
Carol didn't like any of it, if Neera was attacked that made sense sure! But why would anyone go after Milla? did that mean Lilac was in danger to? wait what about her? was her being here a mistake? probably she wasn't suppose to be here today. She was meant to be working on her bike. She just happened to a part and stopped for noodles at the local shop. Her being here was just sheer chance, but she was sure glade she was.
Carol was just glad she was coming down off of her battle high. All that Adrenaline really had her heart racing, she rubbed the back of her neck as this whole thing had her stressed out.
" Let's just hope its a downed tower... Milla been through enough over the last few years she doesn't need more foxtrotting crud going down. "
She turned to Evelyn as she offered a faster way to get to Milla and she was all for it. She wiped some sweat from her brow and gripped her water canteen to take a deep drink.
" Let's go, i need to catch my breath and the faster we get there the better... that move really wiped me out. Never used Wild Blitz before... guess it really stressed me out ..."
She'd never felt so damn thirsty, and she really couldn't get her heart to stop racing. But she figured she was just worried about Milla. The faster they got to her the better and she didn't really care about how they got there.
" This day is just the worst! why can't we just have a normal afternoon without people trying to 86 us at every turn. I hate having to be a little miss hero pants! that's lilac's thing i just want a cat nap! "
It was tempting to continue work on a side project of hers, but gathering enough of the special material and reshaping it how she wants has been rather difficult. Best to put that on the backburner for now, even if clothes that won't explode if she hits her top speed had a certain appeal.
For her at this moment, she'd test the stool to see how well it responded to her movements, feeling the unseen texture of the various parts slide and grind together as she did so. Maybe she was worried she might twist too hard and break something by accident?
"I've also had shoes explode mid-run before, that isn't fun either."
Probably why she compensated by hovering at high speeds... and not just for the sake of the pavement. Not that Lilac has seen her move that fast yet... and maybe that was too much of a diversion from what else she was thinking at the time.
Still though, might be fun to make her friends dinner at some point, even if it might come off as a bit of an experience. Not that she was a bad cook, but there were dietary restrictions and preferences to take into consideration... among other things.
"Personally, I'd call it a... "Just because I can eat it, doesn't mean I'll enjoy it" situation... I could eat anything on this menu and be fine with it, even the menu, but would I enjoy it? I have no idea."
It's a wonder they don't have goat related jokes, else Carol would be teasing her about the whole thing if she was there at the time.
"I might as well be brave and try the BIG SURPRISE! and... try my luck."
Honestly Lilac had ruined her fair share of shoes in her early days with the Scarves. Spade use to complain about all the soles she burned out between missions. Those days she didn't really understand what she was doing, or how she was hurting people. Picking pockets was just a fun game, and that's how spade always presented it to her. But the truth was far from it, she was stealing and looking back she still hated that she was forced to do it.
Her eyes shifted over to Evelyn and she did wonder how bad it was for her to. She couldn't imagine being a forced soldier, being a scarf was bad enough. She was lucky she got out when she did. She had a feeling Eve wasn't quite as lucky as she was.
" Yea... i have blown out my fair share of shoes... it was a struggle as a kid... but i mostly have it figured out now. Still i managed to ruin one of two pairs during the whole brevon fiasco... and the bakunawa incident to... "
She sighed thinking about it, she probably needed to see the old man again and see about a new pair or two just in case.
" hah! did you know when Carol and i first met, she was convinced i was a goat! she'd never seen a Dragon and just assumed! took her a few weeks to realize i wasn't a goat! but that didn't stop the goat jokes... she still makes them on occasion... "
The old man slid a bowl in front of Lilac and winked at Eve as he went back to his pot to fix her something unique. He came back with a blackish bowl of noodles. It was flavored with squid ink, and one of his more spicy dishes. It came off looking rather intimidating for a bowl of noodles! but the meat in it and the veggies all made it look rather appetizing. Luckily the ink wouldn't stain, and gave it a very umami flavor.
" I think the little miss can handle her spice... so let's see if she can handle the black demon noodle combo! i think she'll be just fine, hope you enjoy miss "
The old man panda said with a wide smile. With Lilac giving the dish a look and then Evelyn with some worry. She'd tried this herself once and didn't last! good flavor, but lord it kicked her to the curb!
" umm... good luck...."
