The Jiangshi’s eyes met with those of the petite Succubus. The ‘sister’, so to say, of Morrigan. Hsien-ko could not remember how often she had come face to face with Lilith; certainly less often than dealing with green-haired Succubus, to be sure. In Lilith’s case, it had been a while since she last saw her. A tad unfortunate, really. She always enjoyed her company much more than Morrigan’s.

A genuine smile emerged on Hsien-ko face. “Well, this is a pleasant surprise. It’s good to see you again, Lilith. How have you been?” She asked.

[dangerously-dainty]

Lilith was a little hesitant to answer at first. Where did she come from all of a sudden? But she quickly decided that she had nothing to worry about when it came to Hsien-Ko, “Just fine. My new, and even my old, playthings have kept me busy. Nothing better than messing with a few souls, right?” She smiled, genuinely pleased at her evil accomplishments. “I’m sure you have had no real troubles either. Am I right?”

[vanity-paradise-blog]

Hsien-ko had been taken aback slightly by what she had just heard. Playthings? Messing with souls? That was...odd. She could've sworn Lilith was much more benevolent compared to Morrigan. She supposed it really had been a long time since she last saw her.

Her expression was one of confusion , as she gave an awkward chuckle to the Succubus. Scratching the back of her head, she replied, "I wouldn't really know that feeling, ya know." A brief pause befell her before she responded once more. "No, nothing really relevant lately. So...playthings, huh?" She inquired, hoping to get a bit more out of this.

The blue skinned girl grinned. “Well, seeing as how I’m already dead, that won’t be a problem.’ A light giggle escaped her lips. “So, where to start?” She asked herself, her fist pounding against her open left hand. “Hmm…well, guess the beginning would be ideal, eh?” Another laugh.

“I was born about three hundred years ago, in a Chinese village. My sister, Mei-Ling and I were the daughters of very respected priestess. We even met the Emperor of China once.” She mused, a nostalgic smile formed on her lips. However, that smile soon faded.

“One night, our village was attacked by Darkstalkers. Our mother sacrificed herself to save the whole village, but in doing so, her soul was trapped in darkness. Of course Mei-Ling and I wanted to free our mother from her fate. So, I used a technique called ‘Igyo Tenshin’, which transformed me into a Jiangshi. Mei-Ling had transformed into a ward, so that I don’t lose control of myself.” Hsien-ko had then placed a finger on the piece of paper attached on her hat. “That’s her. She ain’t much of a talker though. At least, not around strangers.” She said as she rubbed the back of her head.

“So, we set off to hunt down Darkstalkers, and eventually freed our mother’s soul. That’s basically the short version. There’s a bunch of stuff in the middle, but we’d be here all night.” She mused.

[livewire-vixen]

The silver haired woman gave a small laugh. “I meant it figuratively of course.” She assured with a bit of a humored grin. She then clasped her hands in her lap waiting patiently to listen to her story. She hadn’t expected any less than an enthralling back story and she’d gotten even more than she’d expected. Her facial expression changing accordingly to her slightly worried reaction. She was no stranger to pain but it didn’t change the fact that hearing of another going through it was saddening.  

Soon the she-devil’s eyes were distanced by a sadness that settled inside her being, her gaze slipping to her hands that were now clasped gently in her lap. She couldn’t imagine what such a loss felt like, she’d seen many people lose their lives but never had she seen someone she cared for so strongly die for such a noble cause. She had to turn that over in her mind until she realized just about everyone she cared for put their lives on the line each day for the sake of humanity. Her hand lifted to rest on her heart and she inclined her head as a single tear slipped down the smooth tan skin of her face.  

She snapped back into the present and looked up at Hsien-ko. “I’m sorry you had to go through that.” She said softly as she wiped the small traces of tears from her eyes. “You did the right thing though.” She gave a small melancholy smile before she stood up. “Before I actually get started explaining my life I guess I should show you something.” She sighed and squared her shoulders before removing the guise with a swift motion of her hand. She then stood as Trish, ivory skin contrasting against the dark leather of her bustier and pants. She adjusted her arm guard and then reached her hand forward. “Allow me to reintroduce myself, I’m Trish.” She gave a small sort of smirk half smile. 

[vanity-paradise-blog]

Seeing the tear had actually caught Hsien-ko off guard. She had told her story to others before, and while most of them were empathetic, she certainly couldn't remember anyone become that sad over it. Despite the melancholic tones, it was still nice nonetheless to see it, as she could only assume Gloria had experienced a similar, tragic moment in her life. A sort of sympathy, if you will.

The Jiangshi's own expression became one of enthusiasim. A sort of bliss, as she was satisfied with her accomplishment, for saving her mother. "Thank you. It means a lot to hear someone say that." She replied to the lightning demon.

Now, Hsien-ko had looked confused when she mentioned that she needed to show the Jiangshi 'something'. Hsien-ko had leaned forward in her seat accordingly, generally interested in what it was.

Gone was the look of confusion, as it was now replaced with awe. Well, color her a fool. To say that it was a good disguise would be a severe understatement. Hell, one moment she didn't have pants on, and now she did. If she wasn't already blue, you could've colored Hsien-ko impressed. It had taken a brief moment for her to respond, partially because she was still trying to register to what happened.

The Jiangshi's lips curled into yet another smile. She rose up from her seat. She then proceeded to take her hand, and shake it. "Heh, good to meet ya, Trish. That's a pretty neat disguise!" She commented. "And, you're still so pretty." Hsien-ko said with a giggle.

Hsien-ko nodded. “Yeah, I’d certainly say there’s variety whenever I’m fighting someone.” She chuckled. Who else did she not mention? There was Sasquatch, and Victor as well. Hmm. The more she thought about it, it seemed like her life was like one of those old monster movies. Kind of eerie in a way. Snapping back into reality, Hsien-ko focused once more on what else Gloria had to say. It sounded like her work was…well, busy work. Nothing really exciting at all. She did use ‘tedious’, after all.

The Jiangshi then blinked when Gloria had asked her the question regarding her own work. “My work? No, actually, which I guess can be both a good or bad thing.” She laughed. “My opponents are exactly what I’d call weak. Yeah, there’s always a pipsquak monster now and then, y’know, small fry.” The bluenette placed her hands on her own cheeks, with her elbows placed on her lap. “But, most of time, the guys I go against are pretty tough. Keeps me on my toes. So, I really wouldn’t call it boring, especially when my life…err, ‘unlife’, is at stake.” She smiled.

“So, when’s the part were we exchange life stories? I think it’d be another good way for to know each other. Of course, if you don’t want to talk about yours, I understand. Wouldn’t want to make a friend uncomfortable, after all.” Hsien-ko said. “And with that said, you wanna hear about me? There’s a chance my past isn’t as exciting as yours, but I’m willing to tell ya anyways.”

[livewire-vixen]

Gloria felt like she was nodding a lot but she also felt like she really agreed with a lot the female had to say, quite a bit of common ground so to speak. “I’ve only known hunting demons for most of my life, I don’t know it might be nice to have a bit of change in career I guess.” She gave a soft laugh and ruffled her silvery hair. Then she almost froze a bit but didn’t let her humored expression falter as Hsien-ko mentioned ‘life stories’. 

“My life story?” She questioned quirking a brow and laughing as she pressed a hand to her own chest, her expression over all surprised. “Mine isn’t very exciting at all, I wouldn’t want to bore you.” Gloria didn’t have a life story,all of her life experience belonged to Trish and that’s where explaining who she really was got… messy. She shifted a little bit in place on the weight, fighting the urge to get up and walk a bit. It couldn’t hurt to explain who she was to the other woman, surely she would understand that she wasn’t trying to deceive her.  

She waved a hand in dismissal. “But by all means, tell me about yourself if you’d like and maybe if you’re willing to risk being bored to death I’ll tell you my story.” She really had no qualms revealing herself to Hsien-ko but at the same time she really didn’t want to talk about her past… It was too hard to think about, let alone explain.

‘…I keep tellin’ ya, we’re lost!’ Hsien-ko thought, communicating to her sister Mei-Ling, who was currently in the form of the paper ward on her hat. Their journey had led them to unfamiliar territory once again. ‘And I am telling you, that you had made a wrong turn. Besides, who is in control of this body again?’ Mei-Ling retorted. The Jiangshi became agitated. ‘That’s a cheap shot, sis! Hsien-ko would have followed up with that, but her attention had then focused to a stranger she saw.

“Wait a sec…is that…a catgirl?” The Jiangshi said, blinking in confusion. Yes, it was a catgirl. But it sure as hell wasn’t Felicia. Curiosity had gotten the better of her, and Hsien-ko had found herself walking up towards the individual.

“Hey there.” She greeted. “Name’s Hsien-ko. I, uh…don’t suppose you could tell me where I am right now, huh?”

[uptoscratch]

Nadia noticed the strange-looking woman approaching her, and turned towards her. Though she was still crouched down. Hell, those big metal things coming out of her sleeves didn’t look like they were made for petting, so she had to be ready to spring away, if needed. “Yeah, hi. I’m Miss Fortune.”

“Uh, and you’re in Mew Meridian. In the Canopy Kingdom? Maybe you took a wrong turn out of the Dragon Kingdom, huh?”

[vanity-paradise-blog]

"Mew...Meridian?" Hsien-ko repeated, not realizing Nadia's little dialect. Well, regardless, it was an interesting name for such a large city, to be sure. The Jiangshi's eyes then blinked at the mention of yet another unfamiliar place.

"Dragon Kingdom? Sorry, never heard of that place either." She said. "Anyway...doesn't change the fact that I'm lost." She sighed. "Ya mind helpin' a stranger out? There anywhere to eat here? I'm starving..." She mumbled.

Shanoa looked at the stranger lady before her, there was something familiar about her appearance, yet she knew she’s never seen her before.

“Who’re you and how did you get here?”

[vanity-paradise-blog]

The Jinagshi's eyes befell on the young woman who had spoken to her. 'Hey sis...what do you make of her?' Hsien-ko thought, communicating with her sister, who was currently in the form of the paper ward the she wore. 'I am not quite sure. She is a human, but there is something else about her that I can't quite recognize.' Hsien-ko mentally sighed.

"Ni hao!" She exclaimed, greeting her. "Name's Hsien-ko! As for how I got here...I honestly don't know." She chuckled nervously.

The cold wind had brushed against an even colder corpse. The Jinagshi had looked skywards. The moon was beautiful, as usual. Her lips curved upwards to form a smile. She must have been around for about three-hundred years now. And in those years, change was inevitable. Technology had advanced, customs changed, and so forth. And yet, with so much change, there was always one thing that always stayed the same; the moon. Such a lovely sight it was. Hsien-ko gave a content sigh. She had been resting on top of cliff, actually. Was that dangerous? Definitely. But being on top of a mountain meant she would have a better view of the moon.

Her sight-seeing would make a detour, however, when she felt a presence that was all to familiar. And she was right behind her. The woman’s very appearance had invoked the inner desires of the people around her. How often did Hsien-ko actually encounter her? Not all too often, if she could recall. Regardless, her view of the moon never faltered. In fact, she was smiling.

“Well hey there, Morrigan. It’s been a while since I last saw ya.” She said. “How have ya been?”

[queenofthesuccubi]

The succubus returned the Jinashgi’s smile with her own. “Greetings, Hsien-ko. It’s a pleasure to see you again, dear. I’ve been well. And I take that you have been fairing well, as well, correct?” It had been a while since she saw her… How long, who can tell really.

Morrigan noticed that Hsien-ko was gazing up into the sky, taking in the view of the moon in the night. She decided to join her, taking some time to relax from her lifestyle from the castle, as always. She looked at the midnight sky, being thoughtful. “It’s quite beautiful tonight, wouldn’t you agree?”

[vanity-paradise-blog]

Hsien-ko had nodded at the Succubus. "Yup! I've been doing great lately.  It's nice not having to fight with you or another Darkstalker all the time." She chuckled. Placing her hands on the back of her head, she lied down, her back now against the ground.

"And I hope you've been staying out of trouble." The Jiangshi added, though her expression was more or less amused, partially because she knew her answer. She stared once more at the moon, and upon hearing Morrigan's next question, she shed a smile. "Yeah..." Hsien-ko said, giving a content sigh. "This is one of my favorite spots, y'know."

((Seriously though what do you do with a sick Digimon?  Someone help us ;m;))

[vanity-paradise-blog]

(( I believe in the anime, they say that Digimon in the human world are still technically data. So I guess it would be kind of similar to restoring data on a computer? I realize that sounds pretty stupid, but that's all I got. XD ))

Hsien-ko frowned a bit slightly. “I know the feelin’ unfortunately. I’ve met some people who aren’t exactly happy being rescued from a blue skinned ghost girl from a demon. It’s…a little disheartening, ya know?” She said, her eyes fixed at on Gloria’s. The poor Jiangshi looked…sad. She then broke the gaze, and looked off in the distance, contemplating. After a brief moment, she looked back to Gloria, scrachting the back of her own head. “…Sorry ‘bout that. Didn’t mean for something like that to just spill out.” She said.

In an effort to be a little more optimistic, (and because she just found it funny), Hsien-ko couldn’t help but giggle at something in particular that Gloria had just said. “‘Shocks’, huh? Something tells me that pun wasn’t intentional.” She smiled. That had helped her mood.

Hsien-ko then proceeded to tap her chin, trying to define ‘Darkstalkers’. “I…guess it’s like a broad term. Vampires, aliens, werewolves, zombies, catgirls, succubi…all those are considered ‘Darkstalkers’. Things that go ‘bump’ in the night, that aren’t exactly common amongst human beings.” She explained.

[livewire-vixen]

“One too many times, I’ve seen people cower merely because I’m a demon. Even after explaining I’m a good guy they don’t back down, even after I’ve saved them.” The demoness frowned a bit, taking on a saddened expression as well as her eyes drifted down to her boots. She uncrossed and recrossed her legs before she looked back up. “Oh, don’t worry about it, I know how it feels as well and sometimes knowing someone feels the same prompts it to… Slip out.” She gave a reassuring smile. 

She chuckled. “It wasn’t intentional but I guess it was interestingly placed in the sentence.” She agreed and seeing the other’s mood lighten, lightened her mood as well. It was refreshing to be around someone who understood how she felt but it was also good that she didn’t dwell on it. She straightened her posture and allowed herself to take a more optimistic look on the conversation. 

“Ah I see so, it’s just what you call things that cause trouble. Makes sense and it’s a pretty good term to use. I hunt demons and that’s about it really, though there are a lot of different species so work doesn’t generally get boring… Well, it can when what I’m facing isn’t a challenge and it’s just tedious because there are so many of them…” Realizing she had started to go on about work she paused and cleared her throat. “How about you? Does work get boring for you?”  

[vanity-paradise-blog]

Hsien-ko nodded. "Yeah, I'd certainly say there's variety whenever I'm fighting someone." She chuckled. Who else did she not mention? There was Sasquatch, and Victor as well. Hmm.

The Jiangshi's eyes met with those of the petite Succubus. The 'sister', so to say, of Morrigan. Hsien-ko could not remember how often she had come face to face with Lilith; certainly less often than dealing with green-haired Succubus, to be sure. In Lilith's case, it had been a while since she last saw her. A tad unfortunate, really. She always enjoyed her company much more than Morrigan's.

A genuine smile emerged on Hsien-ko face. "Well, this is a pleasant surprise. It's good to see you again, Lilith. How have you been?" She asked.
