the monster inside

An author of evil who is meditating world conquest. Nobody really takes her seriously.

[sweetdemonblood]

Also back on here too!

Who wants Pandora?

[sweetdemonblood]

For their sake. [Pandora/Father G]

Do you now? Well, I’d certainly like to hear, if you feel so inclined at any point.

Good gracious. An actual fire? Why, I’ve known you’re quite extraordinary from that start, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t find it slightly impressive. Though, I’m sure it goes without saying, but…please do try not to turn our lovely kitchen into a blazing inferno next time? I am always eager to help, you know!♪

/Sighs, looking at the apron that now needs washing, before swapping it out for a similar apron but with slightly less frilliness, but in the loveliest spring-y green with yellow flowers/ Right, well have a lovely rest! I’m sure you’ll be eager to discuss the rent situation when you awake!

Yes an actual fire! [She spits out the words harshly, feeling herself shrink under Gerard's gaze. Habitual coexistance aside she was now and always would be afraid of him. Her power was strong, but she knew this man could squash her like a bug if he so chose. Be it from his holy alignment to his brute strength, she always took two steps back with every step forward.]

... [She growls under her breath, trudging back into the kitchen and beginning to help with the cleanup, albeit doing 1/10th the work of Gerard, watching him take out ingredients in silence as she bites her tongue. The rent thing was a touchy subject. She was much too vain to give up her jewels, but she understood it was for the children. She would never tell Gerard, but she was planning to 'acquire' quite a bit of money in the near future for their sake.]

... stop!

[As she watches him pull cinnamon from the cupboard she grabs the small jar and throws it across the room, clattering but not breaking against the floor, arms crossed as she fumes.]

Kelsey doesn't like cinnamon, only Quinn does! Kelsey likes hazelnut, but they both like vanilla. If you make something they hate I'll punch you. [She picked up the cookbook she had been attempting to follow, covering her face with the exception of her eyes, which glared in Gerard's direction.] They deserve a treat, they did very good fishing with Joe today.

[dark-haired-swordsman]

Ornery Little Demon [Mikoto and Pandora]

[dark-haired-swordsman]

You would, and you have. I have no trust in you.

*glares as her wound closes, but says nothing*

*smiles and sheathes his sword* “Ripping my heart out with your bare hands”? He’ll love to hear about that. *stands up and begins to walk away*

[sweetdemonblood]

[Face red she stomps in front of Mikoto, blocking the pathway before jabbing him hard in the chest, snarling viciously.]

Listen here, prince charming- y'see, it would be a damn shame if someone was to open a demon gate and let a bunch of monsters into town, making your job a hell of a lot harder.

All I'm trying to do is feed my damn orphans, and you're painting me as the bad guy?

I bet old silver eyes would love to hear that.

[dark-haired-swordsman]

Ornery Little Demon [Mikoto and Pandora]

[dark-haired-swordsman]

You are never unarmed, Pandora. I know better than that. You are also nothing even remotely resembling a lady.

*hesitates* No, that punishment would not befit you. *forces the sword across her neck, but doesn’t cut any further than skin-deep* I think a better one would be to tell Father Gerard about what a bad child you’ve been.

[sweetdemonblood]

I am offended, sir warrior. [She pretends to wipe a tear from her eye.] Do you think I would try to bamboozle you with magic? Oh dear me, no.

[She touches her neck curiously, examining the blood on her fingers as the wound closes itself.]

I would take much more pleasure ripping out your heart with my bare han-- NO!

You will tell him nothing!

[dark-haired-swordsman]

Ornery Little Demon [Mikoto and Pandora]

[dark-haired-swordsman]

And why not? I certainly would.

*tenses, then points his sword at her* Alright, then. Go ahead. Rob me.

[sweetdemonblood]

You would point your sword at an unarmed lady on the street?

[She approaches him, grabbing the blade and pressing it against her own throat, eyes twinkling with delighted madness.]

It is not your duty to cut down thieves? Do it- but think carefully of what you will tell the children.

[swordplay-is-my-forte]

[Pandora&Forte]

[swordplay-is-my-forte]

*Forte rolls her eyes, reaching down to bind the woman’s hands.* Hardly. Do as you feel you must, though you won’t like the results.

[sweetdemonblood]

Hm- but I might~!

[Watching Forte bind her hands she closes her eyes, trying to concentrate and slowly turn the rope to ice until-- Forte's hands are stuck to hers.]

Gosh, I don't know what kind of woman you think I am Miss Knight.

[Her shawls extends from the ground, fanning her face.]

This is awfully sudden, and you're being terribly forward~!

[dark-haired-swordsman]

Ornery Little Demon [Mikoto and Pandora]

I may work for Father Gerard, but that doesn’t mean I know where he is at all times. Maybe he’s abandoned you, knowing what a nuisance you can be. Now are you going to work, or are you going to starve?

[sweetdemonblood]

He wouldn't do that. [She grinds her teeth, ears twitching as she weighs her options and she sighs, melancholic and loud.]

I suppose I'll just have to rob someone, and then use what I plunder to pay for my food.  Hopefully they don't try to stop me, as there may be bloodshed.

Enjoy playing 'pretend warrior', Mi~ko~to~!

[swordplay-is-my-forte]

[Pandora&Forte]

[swordplay-is-my-forte]

*Her nose twitches in agitation and her lips purse seeing her hard earned gold melt away. Her hand swiftly moves up to grip the nape of her offender’s neck and pulls her down a bit.* A thief and a magician? Now I have to take you in! 

*Starts pulling out some rope to bind the girl’s hands with.*

[sweetdemonblood]

[Rolling her head as if preparing for a relaxing yoga session she bats her eyelashes at Forte.]

Oh sweet, stupid, ugly human woman- what makes you think I can't burn the rope? Are you new at this? First day? You're doing just great, I might even give you a gold star to hang on the fridge.

[Cackles, obviously trying to get a rise out of her.]

[swordplay-is-my-forte]

[Pandora&Forte]

*Sighs, making a gesture with her open hand, her other hand still holding tight to the girl. “kids these days”* Just return the money, no need for sass.

[sweetdemonblood]

Well, see we might have a problem. [She opens her hand to show Forte the gold, which then melts and hits the road forming a small puddle.] I don't have any money to give you.

[sweetdemonblood]

*offers chocolate cream pie to Pandora then flees*

[Cackles gleefully and then gives the pie to Quinn and Kelsey because... she's not a huge fan of sweets.]

[sweetdemonblood]

I DEMAND CHOCOLATES, MORTALS!

[sweetdemonblood]

...

Why is everyone...

Dares? This is some stupid human thing isn't it?

[sweetdemonblood]

If you're a demon, how can you even enter the church let alone live in it?

Well, you uneducated cretin, if you knew anything you'd know this isn't a church of the gods- it's a church of the arch-dragons.

There are good dragons and bad dragons, which although this ground is sacred, doesn't make it holy or unholy- meaning I can enter.

[sweetdemonblood]

((HECK YEAH LET'S DO THIS)) [Nocks on the door to Pandora's room in the church, calling out to the woman in a loud voice] Pandora! Pandora are you here? [Repeatedly knocks on the door as she waits for it to open] Pandora, Pandora! Papa said you were here!

[Arms deep in a bucket of bones and sitting in the middle of a chalk circle she is brought out of her trance by Quinn's voice, hand raising to make sure the door was locked before she pulled the carpet back over the circle and with a swish of her wrist the bucket was gone. Taking a quick moment to straighten herself out she opens the door with a yawn.]

... Oh, Quinn~! ♥

Excuse me, I was just taking a quick nap. [Kneeling down she opens her arms and smiles widely at the girl.] I thought you were out with your brother this afternoon?

[sweetdemonblood]

Personal Questions - [XiaoPai/Pandora]

it-seems-x-yes

/Smiles cheerfully/ Oh, I promise it will not take long! It will be easy, yes?

... you have six seconds, after which I will set your hair on fire. Begin.

[sweetdemonblood]

Is that a sickle in your pocket-? - [Jack/Pandora]

thecarefreefarmer

"I will keep that in mind for the future," he said with a grin. "So, um, what are you doing here?"

I was surveying the landscape for tactical advantages shall I need to engage in combat with any gods or immortals, as I attempt to level this land to build my own fortress of doom in which to bring the world to it's feet in a storm of brimstone and poverty.

...

[She stares blankly, hand on her hip.]

I was looking for the Inn.

[sweetdemonblood]

[Shrugs her shoulders] Well that's fine by me. [Continues following her, before giving her a clever grin] Mm, well that should be no surprise; rocks are among the dirt, and you've already stated that I spend majority of the time cultivating dirt.

… [She can’t help but crack a  small smirk at the smartass comment, giving the girl a sideways glance.]

True, peasant- very true.

Hmppf- yes, when I take over the world- I will kill you last.
