Day 162: Monster Bingo

[worthathousand]

[ bingo card here or here ]

----

[ Amaranth steps into the game tower and the color drains out of her hair like ink, leaving it stark white. The resemblance to her sons is probably that much more uncanny, now... or that much more confusing, whoops.

But what actually makes her pause, eyes wide, is the stuttering feeling of her heart stopping in her chest.
Fortunately, the sound of her phone notifying her of the rules distracts her before any panic sets in. ]

...Oh. Mela's tits, they could have warned us.

[dragonheartedgirl]

Whose tits?

Monster Bingo: Hiryuu

[worthathousand]

Ah—

[ hahaha WHOOPS that surely interfered with her motherly image ]

—Hiryuu, I'm sorry; I should be more careful where I let myself get crass. Mela is definitely not the sort of dragon to be making light of in polite company.
I just got a bit—

[ wait, there's that almost predatory intuition again ] ...Oh, you're a vampire too now, aren't you.

Re: Monster Bingo: Hiryuu

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ HONESTLY captain gi-gan would also have probably said something like that... and that's her other-other-other mom figure. cardigan probably wouldn't have held back either. ]

Ah... it's okay! Wire and Double D used to say worse things in front of me...

[ her dads have. truly sullied her ears. and eyes. ]

It does seem we've both been changed the same way, yes.

Re: Day 162: Monster Bingo

[sancrimony]

[ by now he has many tails. big fluff ]

. . . Mother?

Monster Bingo: Lucifel

[worthathousand]

Lucifel—?

[ Her eyes go a touch wide when she sees him: a little bit of surprise at his own change, but also there's a bit of the feeling of having been caught out. That he shouldn't have to see her like this. ]

You look quite a bit more striking than I do, right now.

Re: Monster Bingo: Lucifel

[sancrimony]

. . . I could say the same for you.

[ despite the situation all 9 tails are wagging. happy to see mom ]

Are you alright - ?

Re: Day 162: Monster Bingo

[constellationprize]

Um -

[ there's a brief pause, tiny dog ears pointed straight, alert - it certainly is odd to see her, for a moment or so, under the mechanics of this place. lucifel she's certain she'd never mistake for anyone else, but through elimination - persephone? no, it's probably - ]

- Mother-in-Law!!

[ at the realization she relaxes completely, a fluffy brown tail wagging contentedly behind her.

... a little more than just contentedly, honestly. excited is more like it. perhaps a bit unbecoming of a several million year old witch (?), but here we are. ]

Re: Day 162: Monster Bingo

[worthathousand]

[ ok but it's very charming all the same
so many good dogs ]

—Oh, Aradia! [ a little dip of her head, as though she'd blush if her skin did that right now; this is just. this is so much enthusiasm! ]

Good afternoon. I hope I didn't surprise you too much?

Re: Day 162: Monster Bingo

[searingedgelord]

[Silk's hair actually now fades from her natural jet black into stark white at the ends. That's courtesy of Vengeance Hell, though. Not the game.

She's maybe a big paler than usual and now has functional vampire fangs, but she doesn't seem too bothered one way or the other by the changes.]

Who's Mela?

Re: Day 162: Monster Bingo

[worthathousand]

[ there's an argument that all their current states are temporary corruptions, so perhaps it's not actually so different— ]

Ah—
This should probably be a lesson to me not to swear with this much of an audience.

[ She dips her head in greeting, her smile a touch chagrined. ]

Mela is the Elemental Dragon of air in my world. She's supposed to be more of an ideal than a god to be worshiped, but—
Well. There are still a whole lot of monks I'd have horrified with that.

Re: Day 162: Monster Bingo

[puzzlekeeper]

[ ...

Just snorts when he overhears, especially since he's only ever heard her speak extremely politely. ]

Re: Day 162: Monster Bingo

[worthathousand]

[ she looks a touch embarrassed for a moment, but recovers quickly enough ]

Not the sort of language you were expecting either, I take it?

Continued: Shrike

[worthathousand]

(( from here ))

Hah, I'll keep that in mind.

He's someone I should get to know better, really. I, ah, hope it's not too strange to say that avante has become quite important to me, as well.

Re: Continued: Shrike

[softlyfalling]

I don't think it's strange to say at all.

I mean, you're Cardigan's family, basically, so you're sort of ours by extension, too?

Continued: Requiem

[worthathousand]

(( from here ))

In that case.... Do you want to step outside the game tower for a bit?
I finally got the ability that makes it easy to create a good place to talk.

Re: Continued: Requiem

[stakesthesame]

[ ?? what... does that mean ]

Uh-- sure? If you want.

Continued: Persephone

[worthathousand]

(( from here ))

Then let's do that.

I think I saw a pool of water for the ah... I suppose for the sirens? ...set up in here. That would probably serve well, as long as there's some sort of shallow portion?

Re: Continued: Persephone

[forgottenmercy]

Or, ah, rocks to cross on, or something of that nature. [and heading for that pool of water, then.]

Continued: Snapdragon

[worthathousand]

(( from here ))
---

[ There's an instinct to fill the silence with more talk, but the pushes it down. Sharing more than necessary doesn't seem like Snapdragon's style, so she simply matches her stride to his as they make it the rest of the way to the beach. ]

Re: Continued: Snapdragon

[clearwingfastdragon]

[They're a gang that unfortunately has more secrets than any of them particularly wanted and very strong reasons not let the cat out of the bag... so opening up to new adults Hard. Sorry flowermom.

But that aside, they'll be at their destination soon enough.]

Okay, beach! I dunno if running counts so I guess we should just walk.

[A shame, clearly.]

Re: Day 162: Monster Bingo

[theyregooddogs]

[antlers, feathers, hoof fingernails]

Not likely. Do you need a square?

Monster Bingo: John

[worthathousand]

[ Who are you and what have you done with John. ]

I... do, yes. Not pushing myself so hard this time around, remember?
[ tilting her chin a touch ] The way you say it almost makes it sound like you're offering.

Continued: Hurricane

[worthathousand]

(( from here ))

Ah—
I'm not sure if you've been bitten by any vampires yet, but it... can be a bit... let's call it intense?

[ thinking again ]

Oh! Evidently I can turn into a bat, and I have a square for licking someone. Would it be alright for me to lick you that way—as a bat?

Re: Continued: Hurricane

[crossmyheartandhope]

Oh. Uh, sure.

Do it, dude.
