The Purrfect Pet Store

*standing behind aradia holding the key*

*walks into the store past aradia*

:33 < you better not have broken my lock aradia! the meowbeasts could get out!

:33 < like this one time i-

*slips on the ice and falls on her butt*

*looks around to see a winter wonderland inside*

*all the meowbeasts are missing and a strange blue mist is emanating from the back room*

:33 < hey aradia, have you s33n something like this on your adventures befur?

well there was that 0ne time but it was 0ne 0f the defenses 0n an artifact in an ancient temple and it was in the middle 0f winter s0 i d0nt think it applies here

((Okay firstly I love how its like *we arrive* *Aradia gets ahead of everyone and looks silly* *nepeta then gets ahead of everyone and looks silly*

Secondly mist

eeeeeeee

is it murderous magic mist of doom and weird math shit because I s2g if it's that I will go into full-blown Mistborn nerd mode))

*eyes widen*

*hides behind aradia*

:33 < you first

((It's just fog. Cuz Ice Witch basically. She just emanates cold fog the angrier she gets. She's pretty irritable that she can't fall asleep but she's not super aggressive yet so no need to worry about walking in and getting your head frozen immediately. Maybe a snowball to the face out of surprise, but she shouldn't kill anyone. Yet.))

Vriska steps cautiously onto the ice.

Did your meow8easts do this? It's fucking freezing in here.

*Draws rifle*
*Walks over to the door*

IF ANYONE IS STILL IN THERE YOU GOT TEN SECONDS TO DECIDE IF YOU WWANT TROUBLE OR TO KEEP YOUR FACE

*cautiously approaches fog, rolling eyes when Eridan goes for the 'threaten with rifle' method of doing things instead*

A hand reaches through the door, white but slender, and throws a snowball at Eridan's face

A beautiful human female figure in a blue dress walks out, fog flowing around her

What do you want? I'm trying to sleep

*giggles at the snowball attack*

well y0ure kind 0f trying t0 sleep in s0me0ne elses st0re and the 0wner didnt kn0w y0u were here

*Eridan blinks a few times and then wipes the snow from his face*

And unsurprisingly we now add Eridan to the list as well.))

((Your turn Vriska))

((Should I wait for BB or post anyways?))

((I meant Vris's turn to look silly, if that's what you're referring to))

((Just figured Vriska would have a reaction to all this, so I wanted to wait))

((go for it but bb is afk and shau left about half hour ago))

Seeing as you're trespassing on someone else's property, I suggest you leave. Or we could always m8ke you leave.

((Vriska no what are you doing bad Vriska bad))

The woman snorts and shoots ice spears at Vriska, stopping them right in front of her

She turns to Aradia

What gives you right of ownership to this store? You payed for it? Nothing is anyone's to own

well its actually n0t my st0re its hers

*points at Nepeta*

but 0wnership is actually a thing s0 yes if she paid f0r it she d0es have right 0f 0wnership

The woman chuckles softly, her voice seeming to echo slightly

Oh, and who did you pay? What gave him the right to the land? Some sort of leader? Who gave HIM the right? The land belongs to all, not just a few

Listen, l8dy, I don't know what 8ackwater time or pl8ce you come from, 8ut property and ownership is how civilized people do things these d8ys.

((VRISKA THAT REALLY ISNT THE BEST IDEA SHE WILL KILL YOU

On that note, can I have a refresher on the current rules of death?))

((She probably won't kill you because she doesn't want another voice in her head))

((But if I had to say about rules of Death, I believe it's quite a bit more difficult to get out now that the Devil is there))

((It'd take you quite some time))

The woman rolls her eyes

Quite smart mouthed for someone facing death in the face. You remind me of this hero I once fought on Exhaltia. She died quite nicely, with such a lovely scream. After I killed all her loved ones of course

*Eridan has his rifle trained on the ice lady's head*

so you killed some naivve do gooder and her farmer parents is that supposed to intimidate us
howw about you drop the spiky ice things an maybe this doesnt havve to end wwith me ruinin that fancy dress a yours

The lady sighs and snaps her fingers, and the ice dissipates

The lady grins

For the record, I could have frozen you solid just now. But I won't because I'm a nice person

((Pfft, naive do gooder. She was none other than JULIA TRYGVASSEN, Gentlewoman adventurer!))

((BB you get the reference right?))

((Best reference.))

*lowers his rifle*

*grins as well*

i on the other hand wwas more concerned about damagin neps wwall

anywway
you havve a name miss


((After an extensive Google search I can only conclude that I should probably read Girl Genius.))

((

Spoiler:

))

*is a tad disappointed that Icegirl didn't actually do the freezy thing, but doesn't actually show it*

*quietly asks Eridan if he has any idea what/where 'Exhaltia' is*
