[ TRIBUTES TO THE SEXY GOD ]

[trollingismagic.insanejournal.com]

[ They say where there is smoke, there is fire, and happily, despite the spat of unusual occurrences lately, this has not stopped being true; there is a large column of smoke rising from somewhere off in the trees, and should you pursue it, you will find a large clearing with a roaring fire. A makeshift altar has been built in front of it, and even the nearby animals seem drawn to the flame.

The altar is sacrificing a large wooden heart, crudely carved from wood, and slowly burning. The smoke is also thicker than it ought to be, and if you breathe it in, you may begin to feel a little lightheaded.

As you examine the altar, or even as you head back to the mansion, your thoughts may involuntarily begin to change. Anxiety and homesickness melt away, leaving you desiring company. What this means may be different for the individual, but it is more or less a unified sensation of craving a companion for the evening. Whether you just want to have someone there, or hold them, or perhaps more than that...

Any way you cut it, the sexy god should be appeased. ]

[Chell's used to being forced to do things, being trapped in the facility didn't leave her with a lot of choices. However, sometimes she could find a way to turn things to how she wanted them, instead of always being at someone else's whim.

Alcyone need not worry about Chell abandoning her, she'll stick with somebody until they try to murder her. So, as long as killing Chell isn't on the table, then she'll stay with you.]

[Well, Chell isn't a Magic Knight, so that really takes murder out of her hand. Plus there's her whole freakish devotion thing. If anyone here isn't going to kill Chell, it's Alcyone. In fact, she's likely going to murder whoever makes an attempt at Chell.]

[Chell will be glad to hear that, it'll be nice to have somebody who isn't trying to kill her. She will also be thankful for the backup once she finds out that a certain homicidal AI is running around here. Though her last encounter with GLaDOS was somewhat favorable, her moods can change rapidly.]

We should go back... It's getting rather late, and who knows what's out here.

[There's been no sign of monsters, but Alcyone is still wary. She's seen how fast they can appear.]

[Chell nods, that's probably a good idea. But she needed to do something real quick, she doesn't think getting sand in the house would be a good idea.]

"I'll clean the sand out first. You can go ahead."

[With that, she gets to work to trying to take her boots off again.]

I'll turn the lights on for you so you know which one it is.

[Electricity is sort of a mystery to her. She's rather fascinated by it really. So turning on all the lights in the large house will be fun for her.]

[Chell gives her a small smile and a nod.]

"Thanks."

[She appreciates the gesture, it'll make it much easier than wandering around hoping she found the right one.

Also, she wanted a few more minutes to sit by herself and just take in everything that she had just been told. She had learned quite a lot in just a short while, so Chell was still processing everything.]

[Alcyone just nods and gathers up her armor, and then heads off into the dark. With how dark her hair and clothes are, she's gone pretty much immediately.]
