Us Snakes Gotta Stick Together | ||
---|---|---|
Summary: Deis comes to see if Kotal is all right after his brush with the Wastelands' time warp. Rayne arrives, and there's plenty of embarrassment to go around. Scaly serpents... Who: Deis, Kotal Kahn, Rayne, Reptile_(Mortal_Kombat) When: December 17, 2015 Where: TASK Building - Lobby |
...Nah. Anyway, that's what's brought her to the TASK building. In light of the recent issues with the Naga, Deis chooses to come into the building in her human form, so as not to scare anyone. And she finds the first person she can, to ask, "Hello there~! I'm looking for a man named Kotal. Blue or green skin, bird headdress, built like a tank-- do you happen to know where I can find him?"
Lets just say that the Aztec has been in an incredibly irritable mood. Such was seen when he kind of took out all his anger out on some converging demons that were chasing a mage. However, its been quite evident that he's been pointedly avoiding any place where Deis could see him, such as the beach or the UR. Yeah, it looks like even the god of war can get flustered, and scared of the ever so deadly cooties. His personal warriors know this quite well having known him since the days of Outworld, and though he left no specific orders to the TASK officers to not let Deis through, he's made it clear he doesn't want to be bothered. Deis is in luck today though! Had she run into any other TASK officer they would have just said that Kotal was in a meeting or some other painfully transparent excuse. However, she has the good fortune of speaking to a reptilian looking fellow in green armor that was busy doing errands. "Ah yessss..The snake woman of the Wastelandsss.." Hisses Reptile who grins oh so devilishly. Perhaps it may be because of snake kinship, or perhaps because Reptile being a master of espionage simply knows what are Deis' true intentions with Kotal. Maybe, its just his natural cheeky nature that leads him to mischief. But for whatever reason, Reptile decides to disobey orders. "Let me get him for you." Says the Zaterran and taps in his communicator. "Kotal. Your girlfriend isss here to see you." Deis wouldn't need a communicator to hear the answer. From the depths of the building, a resounding yell is heard; "MY WHAT!!?" Screams Kotal as the entire building shakes with his voice. Immediately, there's a flash of light and out comes the Aztec, teleporting himself into the building's lobby, only to realize too late who was Reptile refering to. "Oh... by the Netherrealm." Kotal's eyes widen and he even takes a step back when he looks at Deis, it almost looks like he's scared of her!
Rayne's appearance gets a smile. And then, unfortunately for Kotal, Deis picks up the act again. "Hi there Rayne~! I just came to see if Koko was okay from the other day!" And THEN she tries to grab hold of one of his muscular arms and hug it.
But then Rayne shows up, and Deis picks up on this to hug Kotal's arm. "Hrk!!" Now he's twitching again and freezing on the spot, teeth clenched in awkwardness as Deis starts to call him pet names again. "Reptile!" He turns to look over at the traitorous lizard that pulled him here but the Zaterran is nowhere to be seen! His current location? Right behind Rayne, as he comes back from his invisibility covering his mouth whilst giggling. "Heeheehee!" Looks like Deis and Rayne aren't the only ones that enjoy seeing Kotal embarrassed.
"That we are. Hehehe." Agrees the reptilian kombatant when Deis explains just how efficient snakes are in capturing their prey, eliciting no small amount of pride on the green armored warrior. "No need to remind me." Says Kotal sounding a little less enthused about being reminded of the nature of snakes. "So, Deis, I sense now that your powers have returned to you. Is this your way of telling me to tread carefully now that there is yet another god in this realm?" Kotal is aware of the wink and the warning, but Kotal being Kotal takes it as a hint that Deis wants to fight him.
Now, it's Kotal's words about treading carefully that gets her attention next. She blinks, and looks in his direction quizzically. "No, not at all," Deis replies, looking confused. "I was warning you I might ambush hug you sometime! Though I guess it's not exactly an ambush if I warn you beforehand is it?" Rayne's mention of 'Twilight' gets a look. "Well, sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do." Apparently Deis thinks Rayne is talking about a thing she had to banish or something.
"I suppose.. that would be.. acceptable." Kotal uncharacteristically stumbles with his words. Though perhaps not too surprising seeing that as a god of war he doesn't really know what to do when someone expresses affection like that. Kotal actually did hear of what happened to Twilight. Though again, he's the god of war, and he encourages people to fight! So he's not at all displeased with what happened, and it should be fine as long as no one died-- without him watching. Meanwhile, Reptile dusts Rayne's shoulder -if she doesn't try to run away from that too- and add, "I'm certain the Emperor will be more than pleasssed to be hugged by you, Lady Deisss." Ah, that cheeky Reptile, always causing some kind of mischief. He doesn't even take the hint when Kotal but glares at him with boiling hot eyes like small suns.
And then Rayne starts flailing. Metaphorically. "Poor thing. Do you need a hug too?" Yes, she really is that crazy.
Nevertheless, he looks up when Deis explains the similitude between Love and War and tightens his lips thoughtfully. "I hope that does not mean you are intending on conquering me, Lady Deis." When Rayne starts flailing about and Dies offers to hug her, Kotal is all too quick to point out. "Rayne can get her own hugs!" Oh wow, now he's starting to sound jealous! Like he only wants Deis' hugs for himself. He realizes this too and tries to explain himself. "I mean-- Rayne does not enjoy being touched, please respect her personal space." Really dodged a bullet there!
And then suddenly both Rayne and Kotal are flustered! Deis starts to laugh. It's genuine mirthful laughter, not mocking laughter. "I do tease you both to much, don't I? But it's just so much fun~." | |
