| Summary: In a mangled log, some things happen between Mei and Jason Talben  |
[Tidal Citadel] Entrance(#4144R) The walk way is jagged granite, that has suffered some blows, but once you touch it, your body adjusts and breathes well enough. Although the water may still make it a smidgeon hard to walk and do fast movements due to resistance. The walk way is line with glowing orbs that hang from elaborate white scultures, each one having an aquatic fair folk on it. The sun from above ripples through when the water is above. its always day here, it seems, as the palace is ocassionally revealed to the air above during low tide. The doorway to the palace, that is mostly white, with its high towers being capped in domed rooms. A banner hangs visibly over the door, a gorgoneion. It seems that all are not welcome here, afterall. [Exits : Twisted (O)ne way, and [An]techamber(#4148E) ] [Things : None ]
[Tidal Citadel] Throne Room(#4149R) The floor is sapphire or some other equally dark gemstone. Set between the tiles is what appears to be aquamarine. A silver runner goes from the lifted stone, oddly or not, there is only one throne on the stone. Pillows are provided below the risen stone. The throne appears to be obsidian, carved intricately with roses, and upholstered in silver velvet. To either side of the throne are statues. One is of a horrible leviathan, one is of a lovely woman with spines and her hand extended. She's exceptionally lovely, but at the same time ferouciously frightening. the door beside her seems to go off into a library of somesort. The door beside the leviathan goes off into guest quarters. The room is large enough for dancing and court affairs it seems, often growing to accomodate the needed space. You leave the room. [Exits : [H]allway(#4158E), [St]udy(#4155E), and [Ante]chamber(#4150E) ] [Things : None ] Mei chuckles a bit "I am only hiding her." she pauses "She can't communicate through words due to my botching a spell of protection, If you touch her hand, you should be able to well.. its hard but you'll know if she wants to say something. She is to be considered dead due to the danger she is in. My life is nothing, hers however should be allowed to bloom and come to fruition." she offered quietly "This is Lakshmi Satanas.. I am Mei Hebi." she offered gently, pausing to hold her hand out, her finger folding up, the rest balling up. ".. Invito Leviathan!" she called out a bit of magic flaring up before a petite blue woman with dark blue hair forms. "... Leviathan, please, bring out some food and drink, not wine if you would, I am in a mood for pomegranite juice if we have any left, Also, could you find Vitae and send our guest out a clean outfit and wash his outfit now?" she asked, bowing her head. "THank you." THe petite blue woman wanders off. Mei smiles "I am master of this citadel, you see.." Jason_Talben nods and says, "Protecting a child is important. Innocence is nothing to be wasted." he says. The words of Magic catch him a touch by surprise but does not outwardly show it. He's not sure what she means by magic, but he can't sense Mei as a force sensitive. Which to him is magic, well his universes native magic at least. He smiles kindly to the Child and shows a mentor's love and then the use of Magic. When Mei uses Magic, her magic it catching him by surprise and he can not resist the surprise as it's not something expected. The sudden flare of energy makes his eyes go wide. And he watches as the woman appears and then he seems just a touch more guarded but not showing that he feels threatened at all. "uh, I uh," he says tongue tied a bit. "Thank you for allowing me the comforts of your Citadel Milady." Mei smiles "My magic is protective, and usually not destructive, compared to many here I am very, very weak." she offered. Lakshmi reaches out to touch Jason's nearest body part, be it face or hand. < Hello. Momma is mean, she's hiding me from everyone won't let me play outside. Says there are no other children in the world.> the little girl stated.. within his head oddly enough. Mei .. uses an inner power as magic, that is for sure, it comes from strength of mind and strength of soul. She actually has fairly emmense power at what she can do ; healing and protecting primarily. Two girls soon return, one pushing a cart with food on it, the other carrying a spare outfit, the new one is green and pipes up "Please go into the powder room and change and I will wash your clothes." Jason_Talben listens to the Voices and nods speaking to Mei "I see well I have my own strength and powers. But they seem very different that what I just felt. In simple terms I am able to perceive energy." he notices the child holding his hand and the voice with in his head as he also speaks with a voice of the mind.
