Starshia (Jul 28, 2010 4:32:48 AM)
(go ahead and start already prepared myself)
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 28, 2010 4:33:26 AM)
Cindy has found a place that -she- thinks is pretty safe to work amidst, bracken and small shrubbery for the most part, avoiding the swamp for now. Though that is not too far off all things considered. Looking around, she moves to settle down, lifting off her hoodie and placing it carefully over a shrub, a small half tank top and jeans left on. Her youthful hourglass figure on display, though in truth its hard to pinpoint her age, the young woman having this truly ageless quality to her.
Starshia (Jul 28, 2010 4:34:53 AM)
*She had enough time in the city today and honestly it dissappointed her. so far, nothing of the culture she understood so far so she decided to run wild now. In a coyote form she ran around the woods.. Hopping after a rabbit her ears forward as she ran.*
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 28, 2010 4:38:44 AM)
Cindy takes in a breath as she looks around. -q- "Clotho help me with this ... I'm not entirely sure what you had to ask. The strands of an animal are so different to ours. I hope I'm not mucking this up." Closing her eyes, her nails grip into her hands, blood pursing and her jaw tightening as she struggles as the skin gives about them. Her hand rising and she licks at her hand. Feeling her arete flowing through her, her eyes open and start to flicker, blue, green, brown ... settling on a golden brown, slits developing in her eyes and she looks around, this wonderous look. -q- "Wow ... it actually worked ..."
Starshia (Jul 28, 2010 4:40:17 AM)
*She pounced the rabit and the fell over comically as she felt the magic.. Sliding up on her feet quickly she sniffed.. tilting her head.. and then she headed towards it at a dead run.*
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 28, 2010 4:43:50 AM)
Rolling her shoulders, Cindy turns slowly, trying to get used to this new set of senses. Her eyes flickering a little with each blink before finally settling solidly like that. "I like this ... though I don't know if I'd keep it..."
Starshia (Jul 28, 2010 4:44:59 AM)
*She sneaks up on the woman.. well she didn't smell anything else but this woman.. and yes she heard that last statement she shifted back to her human like relaxing a set of muscles.. croutching as she watches her.* Wouldn't recommend it.
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 28, 2010 4:46:32 AM)
A pause, body stiffening as she didn't even realise anyone was there. Not daring to turn yet, eyes off away from her. "Mmm, and why would you say that?"
Starshia (Jul 28, 2010 4:47:31 AM)
Because it would hurt. *She says simply.* No matter the feeling you get from me, I won't hurt you.. unless you threaten me of course one must defend themselves.
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 28, 2010 4:50:11 AM)
Cindy shakes her head, moving to slowly turn, her cats eyes blinking curiously at Starshia, showing full well that Cindy is no slouch with her magical abilities, even if just learning their full extent in this field. "Not unless you look to do the same..."
Starshia (Jul 28, 2010 4:51:55 AM)
*She watches her.. and grasps something from her pocket.. pulling it out it is a purple pouch.. and she rubs it magic can be felt so can her resonance her presence accents for a moment before it dissappears and there seems to be only a normal woman there soon pocketing the pouch.* There better? I am Starshia, Verbana Tradition, Lifeweaver.
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 28, 2010 4:53:13 AM)
(dressed?)
Starshia (Jul 28, 2010 4:53:17 AM)
(yep!)
Starshia (Jul 28, 2010 4:53:36 AM)
(*loves on concecration*)
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 28, 2010 4:54:06 AM)
"Uhh ... much of that doesn't mean too much to me but Cindy Hendricks. I'm what many of you seem to call an orphan. Though I think I surprise some with that..." Smiling in faint amusement at her words.
Starshia (Jul 28, 2010 4:54:45 AM)
*She watches her.. tilting her head.* When did you first meet another mage?
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 28, 2010 4:57:40 AM)
"Hmm ... about ..." Thinking about that curiously and seeming to take Starshia in, slowly running her eyes up and down her figure. "A couple of months now."
Starshia (Jul 28, 2010 4:59:42 AM)
*She watches her quietly.* And they abandoned you hmmm? What do you feel about your abilities. *Feeling her finger to her ring.. she twittles it more magic is felt as she slowly relaxes.*
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 28, 2010 5:01:15 AM)
Cindy watches her curiously. "Mind me asking what you're doing? I've not been abandoned, I just haven't adopted any of their traditions, just doing my thing."
Starshia (Jul 28, 2010 5:02:18 AM)
So how can you choose a tradition if you do not know them? I'm watching the land around us making sure no one is spying.
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 28, 2010 5:04:21 AM)
She pauses for a moment, considering that idea. "I hadn't considered that, I thought isolation was the best bet ... guess you proved me wrong."
Starshia (Jul 28, 2010 5:06:15 AM)
*She shakes her head.* There are many things that would force you to choose a side. if you have no tradition no cabal no one to trust should you be taken.. and cry out for help who could listen? *She titls her head.* It's a very primal world.. out there even with all the human technology and the suits and the guns.. It's just like the old days where humans bashed each other's skulls in. Just with more powerful weapons.
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 28, 2010 5:09:17 AM)
"Well, some of the tradition mages I would call my friend. I just wouldn't say they suit me tradition wise." Shrugging, non-commital. "I"m just different to all them ..."
Starshia (Jul 28, 2010 5:10:51 AM)
Well who ARE you? *she inquires.*
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 28, 2010 5:11:38 AM)
"I told you my name already ..." A pause, a soft smile then. "I think you're asking for far more than that though."
Starshia (Jul 28, 2010 5:12:00 AM)
Absolutely it is that question that must be answered in order to investigate the best tradition for you.
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 28, 2010 5:13:55 AM)
Moving to crouch down, she finally settles upon her rear, looking towards Starshia from her position. "I'm mentored by the three fates, my avatar teaches me personally. When I awoke ... I was forty three."
Starshia (Jul 28, 2010 5:17:56 AM)
Do you know anything of entropy? Which three fates there are multiple fates in multiple religions across the world.
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 28, 2010 5:19:32 AM)
"A small touch ... enough to feel its touch in the world and in all things. In you. In me." Shrugging slightly before a small smile. "Yes... I'm aware."
Starshia (Jul 28, 2010 5:20:24 AM)
What do you do... with your magic?
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 28, 2010 5:22:22 AM)
"Learn." Looking towards the woman and thinking for a time. "Not trying to abuse it too much, spent a good chunk of time starting my new life ... here now."
Starshia (Jul 28, 2010 5:22:58 AM)
And after you learn? *She inquires.*
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 28, 2010 5:23:55 AM)
"After I learn? Well ... I'm not too sure, I'm still trying to decide as you asked who I am. I did spend some time on the beach a few days ago helping animals trapped in the oil."
Starshia (Jul 28, 2010 5:24:46 AM)
*She purses her lips and nods.* Hmmm favorable. And you do seem to be rather proficient at life. How would you like to learn about life easier as you grow in power?
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 28, 2010 5:27:00 AM)
A quirk of an eyebrow, looking at the woman who seems a curious mix of primal and other harder to spot things. "Are you suggesting you could do that?"
Starshia (Jul 28, 2010 5:29:03 AM)
*She nods.* I can. I am thinking you are a good mix with our tradition. The Verbana are the traditional Witches, Not devil worshiping sods like you hear from christians no they DO exist and they are much worse do not sell your soul to a demon. either way. We are the tradition that embraces life and the way of nature around us. And also in seeking to understand it change ourselves in the process. Sound interesting?
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 28, 2010 5:30:54 AM)
Cindy sits there musing for a moment before finally. "Can I learn with you while still deciding on that? Or is it an all inclusive sorta thing?"
Starshia (Jul 28, 2010 5:31:32 AM)
To a point the first teachings will be of the society. After that I will tell you when it's all inclusive.
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 28, 2010 5:33:57 AM)
A small nod before motioning to the ground next to her. "Take a seat with me... unless you're talking about sometime in the future?"
Starshia (Jul 28, 2010 5:36:56 AM)
*She nods and moves to sit next to her.* Time is fluid for me. I usually don't wear a watch or know much about time. I'm still learning that part. First you must know the enemies. Those that would endanger us. Even if they don't know it. Nephandi, They are magi who sell their souls to the devil and kidnap other mages to sacrifice them to the devil as well. Devil being demons. which are plenty in the world. The less you know about that the better honestly.. there are some horrors you cannot unlearn. and to be quite frank. You'll have enough trouble sleeping with what you'll see now that your eyes are open. Next is the technocracy. The order of reason. The freakazoid scientists who would hunt you down for changing your eyes like that. They are sneaky as hell. And they send cyborgs after you needless to say do not trust cops do everything you can to stay out of jail, the hospital and away from the men in black.
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 28, 2010 5:38:06 AM)
Cindy nods a little as she takes it all in. "I'd heard about the scientists ... that much I know. The nephandi are new to me ... but yeah, no thanks ..."
Starshia (Jul 28, 2010 5:38:11 AM)
Then there are the Mauraders, the mad ones, They are perpetually in quiet. A state of being where the avatar.. like your fate friends that are teaching you goes insane. Then the perceptions of the mage shift and start to affect the outside world. What is worse, is that they do magic just like you but when it becomes vulgar the paradox lands on you instead. You know what paradox is?
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 28, 2010 5:41:46 AM)
"Yeah ... I've heard plenty about that, though never had it effect me too much yet. When you do something and reality kicks your ass for it." Smiling faintly and shrugging.
Starshia (Jul 28, 2010 5:44:16 AM)
Yes, It gives a side effect making your hair green turnign you to stone for a while turning you into an animal.. sometimes. Sometimes it kicks you in another realm if it's extreme enough or creatures come out to destroy you. Careful with vulgar effects vulgar is like outright magic changing my hand to a claw for example. Coincidental magic is things that could happen by chance. changing your physical attributes. if you work out enough you could do that to the peek of human efficiancy. Either way key is to use coincidental magic ESPECIALLY around other sleepers or unawakened mortals. Or you will hurt alot from it. Yes Mauraders can push more paradox on you even if you didn't do an effect.
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 28, 2010 5:45:56 AM)
A considering look. "Alright then ... how do you do things like an animal without it hurting you too much. I could've sworn there was no human around when i got here ..."
Starshia (Jul 28, 2010 5:47:08 AM)
Even then it will hurt what you have to do at that point is either find a chantry that works with your particular style or do it in your sanctum but if you step foot outside the sanctum with the spell up and it's not of the norm paradox is waiting for you. It takes time to build a sanctum though I'm looking at making one myself when I'm able to find or make a cabal.
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 28, 2010 5:48:17 AM)
"Mmm ... I see. So ... walking outside as an animal isn't bad cause the world sees you as one but something outlandish ... vulgar?"
Starshia (Jul 28, 2010 5:49:15 AM)
Right like if you walk outside as a tiger with wings. as an animal though you have other problems. When you first start with life changing into a full beast you have a chance to loose your mind it's not till you master it that you loose that danger.
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 28, 2010 5:51:16 AM)
A curious touch, looking thoughtful for a time. "Well, how do I learn something like that? Prepare myself and stopping it from happening?"
Starshia (Jul 28, 2010 5:52:16 AM)
Have to chance it.. there are ways to focus your mind back There is a chance at the time that you learn like I do that I will be able to force your change back. Getting a greater will to be yourself is a good key to it. (I need bed *pouts*)
Starshia (Jul 28, 2010 5:53:07 AM)
(But starshia wouldn't let her go without teaching her the BASICS of mage lore)
Starshia (Jul 28, 2010 5:53:14 AM)
(and I want to rp that)
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 28, 2010 5:54:14 AM)
(okay, no worries, pause then?)
Starshia (Jul 28, 2010 5:54:25 AM)
(yep *snugs* thanks for the rp night)
