EVENT: ORIGIN'S ORIGINS
Who: explorers!
When: Day 31, night
Where: The Jungle
[The sun has gone down when the heroes receive an unmarked message:
Should they look outside, they will in fact see a light -- a thin but bright pillar rising from the overgrown town out in the jungle.
It's still raining, still covered in frogs, but there's definitely something going on.
And in the direction of the beach, there's also a faint, bell-like ringing. But that's not what's calling you right now... is it?]

I'm--I'm not hurt, the others were....
Re: PREMINGLE PART 2
it doesn't take long for her to process. not injured, just hungry - ]
I see...
It's... your preference was for the wrist, was it not...
Re: PREMINGLE PART 2
She needs a lot. Elaine's blood was potent, even in a small amount, last time...
She can smell the blood from Lucien's injuries. She can't ask him now, even if he'd agree...so. It's come to this, then. She'd rotated through willing donors for ages, as the princess, and as the Queen...this is fine, isn't it?]
Yes...though I will need a lot, so I am unsure this will be comfortable for you.
Re: PREMINGLE PART 2
[ but there is a pause, as it occurs to her how that comes off, ]
Should it concern you so, I'll have a bit to eat once we've returned.
Re: PREMINGLE PART 2
[She takes Elaine's hand and lifts it in a courtly gesture...but instead of kissing the hand, she pulls the arm closer, sinking her fangs immediately and hungrily into the veins of the wrist.
The pain stops immediately, as always, but the amount Naeva's draining, and how fast is...much greater. Surely this won't have any consequences?]
Re: PREMINGLE PART 2
As before she regards the gesture impassively, with no startle at being grabbed or at the sight of the bite - but it's nevertheless more blood than she's used to giving up, more than she's used to losing since returning to life. her brow furrows some as it progresses, the sigh that leaves her in exchange for the creeping exhaustion leaching into her body heavy enough to shake her shoulders.
the blood is as naeva recalls it. the richness and depth of a life infused with a shock of the divine, great and ancient and writhing, cultivated slowly over the generations. ]
Re: PREMINGLE PART 2
The blood is more potent than she remembered. Maybe because she's taken more. But she does pull away with a bit of a shock, eyes gleaming so brilliantly Yellow one might be forgiven for thinking of a different god. She stares into space a little, struck by unseen images, struck by the ancient power in her veins.
She is refreshed, but it makes her feel...
Not even the Black Forest. Not even the Throne. Nothing has made her feel such jubilation and nausea at the same time?
How odd.]
Ah...
Re: PREMINGLE PART 2
more than she'd anticipated, really, ]
... Are you well...?
[ yea ]
