Its Raining from Limbo [Farcry x Risi]

[Risi]

The committee had surrounded her on their Supreme Court-like wooden benches. The looked disapproving yet again. Their eyebrows were furrowed with disappointment and disgust. Somehow she had slipped through the cracks, something never done before, and caused some chaos. The first couple of times, they took it as a psychological need to test the boundaries, normal even. But her last stunt had 'Does-Not-Belong' written all over it. They had never sentenced anyone before, the committee was just a scare tactic and was used for deciding the themes of parties and such, not a matter such as this. But even Father Peter was getting old and wasn't doing the job he used to. "One mistake in how many years? Really, I must be slipping..." he chided to the committee and stormed away with out a look to the guilty party.

"There are two options really," they began, "A community service or Limbo. We don't see you fit for being a tooth fairy or an elf really. It seems as if you would cause more trouble in those positions..." they trailed off, always hating to make hard decisions and give tough consequences. They were angels after all. "So, I'm sorry to tell you that you'll be sent into limbo. We understand that its not your fault that you were received into Heaven rather than Hell. However, we can't simply send you down there and giving hope and secrets to the Devil." The speaker sighed, "So you'll just have to spend eternity in the in-between. Anthony here will take your wings and halo, though it won't be painless, then escort you to the exit platform. It was nice to meet you though. You may be dismissed."

She had no say in the matter. No rights. It was her fault that she had turned a lucky situation into a bad one, and now she had to suffer. The thoughts were instinct in her body; to fight, to be snide, to cause trouble. "Miss Celeste? You need to begin the disembarking process now," the tall, muscular man told her slowly. She moved to open her mouth, only to remember they had took her voice before the hearing. A magical tongue was one to be wary of, even in the clouds. Anthony moved her to a muted cell, that even if she could scream she wouldn't be heard. He removed the halo, causing only a slight dizziness and headache, but the wings were a different story. It was almost as if he was ripping each and every feather from the wings and then the bones from her back felt like he had dislocated them. Tears ran down her face as she sunk to her knees, then the man walked away, leaving her bleeding back to heal slightly before she suddenly was in a state of emptiness.

Her hair floated about her face, as if there was no gravity, but still air. There was no pain, so she figured she had reached Limbo. Where she would spend the rest of eternity. Celeste wasn't sure how it all happened but some time later, though there was no way of telling time, she was dropped onto a hardwood floor. Her body seared with pain, not only from the drop but from the dislocation of both shoulders. She heard herself screaming in pain, tears streaming down her pale cheeks. Her small, curvy body was face down curled into a ball with her arms strewn about at awkward angles as her medium-length blonde hair fell in curls around the back of her head. She was in too much pain to think about where or why she was, let alone look around to observe the scenery.

RE: It's Raining from Limbo [Farcry x Risi]

This wasn't at all what he was trying to summon. Not even remotely close. It was neither big, nor ... well perhaps this thing was powerful but what was wrong with it? It's back had cuts on it, something had been connected to it's back but been removed and recently. Wings, perhaps? What sort of creature, demon did he summon. This one had a feminine form which confounded him. Still it could be vicious and powerful as the Gerzgul demon that he was attempting for and while he was confident the binding circle would keep this creature confined but he didn't know what she possessed. Yet the magical bindings he had prepared were not really appropriate for this thing, whatever it was.

Lifting a pair of manacles, large and heavy off the table as he moved around to the other side of the creature. Quickly darting forward he snapped the large chains onto her thin wrists. While not fitting they do not slip off and cut the creature off from much of it's power.

"What are you?" Asks the young man in bold manner as he walks around her one more time. Taking a towel he begins to dab at the wounds on her back. "You are not what I was summoning."

No, what he was summoning was a powerful creature, one that could teach him, help him overcome his disgusting master, show him new tricks but instead he got a woman, a shapely woman, but some woman with wounds on her back. What was he going to do, it had taken him years to steal and buy the components for this summoning spell and now what he had for the next year and a day was a battered woman.

"Are you a demon?" He asked cautiously but more than a little hopeful. Perhaps despite her attractive looks she was actually a powerful foul beast that would help him during it's time in this plane or else he'd have to coerce such assistance out of it.

Her back was on fire, then something touched her, making her cry out further in pain. She didn't notice from the searing pain that coursed throughout her veins. Moving to feel her back, she was met with the manacles and more pain from moving her arms. She heard something talking to her but it was incoherent at first but she did hear the demon bit. Through her pain she considered the thought, it was hazy but she tried. Celeste wasn't a demon though, that where she was supposed to have been sent with her magic abilities. But she had never made it to hell, just heaven and limbo. she didn't know what he wanted from her but the thoughts she had already put into her answer were the last for awhile.

With a nod her body refused to function any longer within the realm of pain it was for the time being, so she blacked-out for a few hours. She couldn't help it, but she just wished the pain would go away. Hopefully whoever asked her if she was a demon would either heal her or kill her. Her robes though, gave a different story. One of lofty ambitions and rule-following.

 

[Farcry]

RE: It's Raining from Limbo [Farcry x Risi]

What? She passed out. Great! With a sight the mage paced around unsure what to do. Leaning down he began to inspect the creatured, he looked carefully at her clothing, her skin, those wounds. Shit, the wounds. Quickly the magician ran off and got some bandages and some cream that would make sure the wounds well not become infected and heal without scarring. Though if this was where wings were meant to go then what did that mean?

Looking at her, tending to her the magician became curious and baffled. Was she ... an angel? But only members of the Haven family and some of those trained by them could summon an angel. Was he the bastard child of one of the Havens? No, that was just stupid. Still she kind of seemed like an angel but maybe she was some other creature that just looks like an angel. Crap, he was going to have to hit the books and figure this out. Yet he had to wait until she woke up. Also her clothing was very ncie but kind of messed up due to her wings being cut off.

How did he summon her? He didn't want this? Well, perhaps in some dark perverse center of his mind he wanted this. In fact he'd masturbated to some of the angel porn that exists and had dreamt of getting an angel himself. Even if she wasn't an angel and just something that looked like one that was really hot. As he thought about the idea of the wounded creature as a sex toy he reached out and ran his hand over her side, along her waist and hips then pulled back. She needed some clothes and those manacles were designed for something else, something bigger. He needed to do something about this quick.

He was only gone for twelve minutes but it felt like an eternity to him worried all along that the creature would wake up and break out, impossible or go back to where ever it came from, only slightly possible by his own egotistical imagination. Relieved that she was still there, still passed out... oh wait, maybe there is something very wrong with her. Crap. Feeling her forehead he didn't sense any high fever so he went back to sorting out the materials he'd just stolen from one of the girl dormitories room. Muttering incantations, inscribing arcane symbols and no small amount of sacrifices he eventually had her replacement for the manacles done and two changes of clothes from a girl he thought might be close in size to her.

Now it was just a matter of waiting for the beast to wake up and have her answer his questions.

RE: It's Raining from Limbo [Farcry x Risi]

Her eyes were foggy, her head hurt a lot and she couldn't seem to move very well. The pain in her back and shoulders had changed to a dull sensation, but she wondered how long that would last. She rolled over slowly, hoping the cool floor would help aide the pain but she found herself upon a different sensation a burning, almost like fire, and she jumped back quickly from it. Little did she know it was the magic circle keeping her contained. Rubbing her eyes softly she blinked up at the man standing at her. In heaven there was no need for glasses or contacts, but she recalled that when she lived on Earth she had needed them. Was that where she was?

Her oddly purple eyes blinked up at him. They were a dark blue when she first inhabited earth, but the mixture of her true demonic nature had seeped into her eyes, causing them to change now that she had dropped from heaven and limbo. "Where am I?" she asked softly, hoping that she could play innocent.

 

[Farcry]

RE: It's Raining from Limbo [Farcry x Risi]

A tall individual clothed in a long leather coat with arcane symbols curling along the edges stood over her near the edge of the circle. His aquiline features were sharp but not hawkish. His eyes were a piercing pale blue which went with his thick shock white hair that cascaded down over his shoulders to his mid back. Beyond his face there was no element of his flesh exposed. In fact all of his clothing held some element that showed his mystical training.

He was kind of annoyed that she asked her question expecting an answer when he'd asked her several, made the item that he held within his cupped left hand and bandaged her wounds and yet she hadn't answered him, just passed out. Stepping up closer he looked over her. "You are in my lab, in my binding circle. I wouldn't roll onto it anymore." He warned her with some genuine warmth to his voice. Eyes narrowed slightly as he asked some of his questions again, "What are you? Are you a demon or angel... or something else? What is your name?"

 

[Risi]

RE: It's Raining from Limbo [Farcry x Risi]

At his response she raised her eyebrow at him, as if to ask 'Really?'. "My name is Celeste. And I was an angel, until they realized I wasn't supposed to be there." She sat up slowly and folded her legs into a pretzel. "So where is this lab? And who are you?"

She pressed her lips to the side and looked up at him, understanding that she wouldn't be able to leave the circle that bound her. Sensing that the stranger was annoyed she pondered wanting to push him further into anger, but then she decided against it. Her bloody robes slided up her thighs, exposing them slightly.

 

[Farcry]

RE: It's Raining from Limbo [Farcry x Risi]

Quietly he padded around the circle before her, curious of this angel who wasn't supposed to be. So did that mean he could summon the divine or was it her mixed up nature that allowed him to summon her. It was an interesting question, one that could be puzzled over at another time but right now she had legitimate questions herself. "My name is Erol and you are on the planet gaia. As for this lab, it is my own pocket room off of a place in the school I attend." Then he paused to tilt his head. "What are you the angel of or what group of angels were you under?"

Then his eyes fell to her thighs and the heavy chained manacles on her hands. "If you do not like that I've made something else for you. Put it on and I'll take those chains off." He tossed into her lap a very small mostly fabric item. A black lace choker with more arcane words and symbols written out in it with a thin small chain looping along the bottom of it. Upon the chain was a locket again inscribed with some mystical message. "Just so you know I wasn't trying to summon you but I hope you understand I need to protect myself."

 

[Risi]

RE: It's Raining from Limbo [Farcry x Risi]

"It would have better to meet you Erol if my back wasn't bleeding and you didn't trust me. Do I look like a threat?" she tilted her head at him, but began to put on the choker anyways. It wasn't in bad taste, something she would have picked out for herself maybe. It played around her slender neck delicately and she held her arms up to be unlocked. Knowing he wouldn't unlock her until he received his answers, she began telling him. "I was a magic user on Earth. Apparently that means that I was supposed to go to Hell. Well, I ended up in Heaven, the whole sha-bang, and after a few stunts they found out why I was such a problem. Because I didn't actually belong. So, instead of sending me to hell, the put me in Limbo because they didn't want secrets going to the Devil. Then my wings got stripped and so did my halo. And then, I was here."

She looked at him expectantly, she didn't know what else he wanted to know, or what to offer up. Besides the face that she had already technically died and now had come back to life. "Can I get out of these robes?" she asked, hating the way the blood was beginning to stick against her skin.

 

[Farcry]

RE: It's Raining from Limbo [Farcry x Risi]

There was a crude grin at her comment to him about her being a threat. Of course she was. She was an angel/demon, who knows what power she possessed. Now it turned out she was a magician from some place called Earth. Interesting. The whole story was pretty unbelievable and yet her wounds on her back, the fact that someone like him was able to summon her. "You could be a threat, how do I know. What I do need to know is... well... I was trying to summon someone who could help me." Then he shrugged before turning away slightly.

"Go ahead and get out of the robes." He says simply as if nudity was no issue. "I got some clothes, not sure if they'll fit. We're going to have to take you shopping."

Then he paused before asking, "So you're dead?" Finally he picked up the two outfits that he stole from the girls dorm and tossed them to her. "And what is this earth?"

 

[Risi]

RE: It's Raining from Limbo [Farcry x Risi]

"I'm just a little thing," she tried, "A little thing that needs privacy..." His face seemed to be uncaring to her needs though as he tossed the clothes at her. With a sigh she stood and began to rummage through the clothes. There was a pair of dark jeans and a short skirt. The skirt was a tight purple pencil skirt. With a shrug she slipped the skirt on beneath the robe. The tops weren't much better. One was a tube top and the other was a midriff. "Do I look like a giant slut to you?" she asked as she looked through the clothes. Shaking her head, she knew that she wanted to get out of the robes ever since she put them on in the first place. Celeste didn't wait for an answer though as she answered his question. "I died, yes, but I'm not dead now. And Earth is a planet? What's Gaia?" Her hands were on her hips now, still confused to what had happened.

She turned away from him and pulled the robe from her body, a black lace bra could be seen from the back as she pulled the tube top on. It was black and fell just below the scabs that were forming on her back. "Happy?" she asked as she turned to face him, adjusting the black top.

 

[Farcry]

RE: It's Raining from Limbo [Farcry x Risi]

Erol gave her privacy by turning away and looking at some other spot in the room. Yet her questions and comments infuriated him. Did she not understand the situation she was in and what he was doing for her. "Gaia's a planet too. And..." As he spoke he turned around to look at why she was assuming he thought her a slut. "...I just grabbed some clothes from someone else's room. It has nothing to do with who you are or me. I already said I'd take you shopping, not that I can see the reason why right now with how rude you are." He had turned in time to see her turn her back to him and remove the robe. <i>Angels wear bras?</i> He wondered.

"Hmm." He looked at the outfit she had chosen then at the clothes she had not chosen. "Why are you attacking me?" His voice matched her own insolence as he stepped forward. "Was limbo that great? I can just send you right back after we clean your robe?" From what the books say about Limbo and what summoned demons have said that right now she could be going insane in a white void so that he had done her a great service by accidentally summoning her. "You can wear this for eternity instead." He picked up the robe and took a step back.

"And while you are physically little, demons, angels, magicians, whatever you actually are or were meant to be can be very powerful despite their size. What I need to learn is can I learn your power." As he stepped back he looked down at the symbols which kept the binding circle about her.

 

[Risi]

RE: It's Raining from Limbo [Farcry x Risi]

"Let me get this straight, you summoned me, a supposed demon, and you want me to be nice? How does that work in your brain exactly?" She tilted her head at him, all the while wondering her tolerance to this circle. Celeste had been through the pain of removing an entity from her body, could she also go through a little burning? Perhaps, but she wasn't sure that doing so would help her chances of appearing innocent. Fingering the locket she still watched him, he was odd for a man still in school.

"Do I get shoes?" she asked, still contemplating stepping over the small circle to spite his attitude. "And, yes, Limbo was terrible and I don't want to go back. But I won't be your slave for it. Don't worry about cleaning my robe. I'm not going back there ever."

 

[Farcry]

RE: It's Raining from Limbo [Farcry x Risi]

"Oh?" He didn't believe her and took a step forward. "Yes, I do expect you to be nice or I will send you back to Limbo. In fact you're going back in a year and a day unless I bind you to this plane." He states what to him are simply the facts of the situation. Still he remained just on the other side of the binding circle looking at her.

"I forgot shoes. I can go find some in a little bit." An issue that hardly mattered to him. "You've claimed your not a demon, so am I supposed to fear you? Anyways, that piece around your neck will keep your powers in check." He was beginning to sound even more smug, while earlier he had some concern for her, the animosity he was facing had worn that away.

His pale blue eyes looked into her own purple eyes as he asked, "So what are you going to do to earn remaining here? It has cost me a lot of resources and time to bring you here and now you want to just wander the world for free, hmm."

 

[Risi]

RE: It's Raining from Limbo [Farcry x Risi]

Crossing her arms defensively, she looked over him as he spoke at her, not really to her. "I'll teach you what my magic mouth knows. Happy? Now will can I have some shoes and get out of this tiny circle?" Her body was tense, she could sense that he wanted more from her than just a knowledge of more magic. He wanted sex, he got off on this situation. With an internal groan she remembered the men of Earth, just the same.

She was smug as well, though she knew she wouldn't want to return to Limbo, she knew he needed her for something. She just wasn't sure exactly why yet. Celeste wanted to know what Erol was up to in the brain of his as she looked deep into his eyes, hoping to glimmer something from his brain. It was a small spell that she did all the time, certainly the choker wouldn't refuse. It did though and not only did it began to have the same burning sensation as the circle when she crossed it, only around her neck. Her hands flew to her neck suddenly, "Ow!" she yelled as the pain subsided after she stopped attempting to get into his brain.

 

[Farcry]

RE: It's Raining from Limbo [Farcry x Risi]

Erol's eyes narrowed at her. "You tried to do something to me." His voice growled with a dangerous edge. Then he stepped forward crossing the binding circle again which had no effect on him. He was not the one summoned to it, held by it. Reaching out he grasped her arms. "You thought you could just overpower me with your magic and leave here, huh?" His pale eyes glared at her, staring down into her eyes. "What do you mean magic mouth?" His voice snapped at her, now demanding the answer.

His body was tall but it was hard to tell much else due to the significant amount of clothing he was wearing. Yet his grip at the least was strong upon her. Erol was angry though, she had defied him and instead of negotiating in a more typical summoned creature way she thought she could make demands. "No wonder you were kicked out of heaven." He voiced the conclusion he came to due to her rude almost mouthy way of acting with him.

 

[Risi]

RE: It's Raining from Limbo [Farcry x Risi]

"I just wanted to know what you were thinking!" she yelled, his grip tightening on her. "I wasn't trying to hurt you. At all. It's a habit, I'm sorry!" she wasn't yelling at the end of her sentence, his grip was beginning to hurt. Celeste didn't know what to do or say to him.

"I just wanted to know what you wanted, why I was summoned. I just want to know what's going on!" she was frustrated, it was hard to understand what was going on from simply her pint of view, especially when she had always played upon others knowledge too.

 

[Farcry]

RE: It's Raining from Limbo [Farcry x Risi]

"So you thought better to rape someones mind for the information than ask them?" He snapped back at her, not buying that she wasn't trying to cause harm. Even if it was just looking into his mind it was probably to find information to use against him. A common trick of some magicians.

"What if I just sorted through your thoughts and memories? I guess that would be okay, huh?" Shaking his head he knelt down in front of her, grabbing hold of her bare calf to help steady himself. He looked at her feet trying to judge their length. "And don't worry I'm trying to figure out what shoe size you are." Figuring she was going to make some snappish judgment about his hands on her body.

"Perhaps you could calm down and just be thankful you are not in Limbo right now or is gratitude so foreign to you?"

 

[Risi]

RE: It's Raining from Limbo [Farcry x Risi]

She looked at him incredulously, "I didn't try to rape your mind. Calm down. I can only retrieve current thoughts and feelings," she wasn't sure why she was telling him these things. Perhaps out of hope that he would trust her even though she did it partially out of habit. He knelt to examine her feet, they were sml and dainty, just like the rest of her body. She wondered if she would be the same size 6 on this planet as she was at home. His hand on her calf was warm and worn, but the touch gave her something. She wasn't sure what, but she hadn't been touched since...she couldn't remember.

"Perhaps you could understand this a bit traumatic for me, blinding pain and that I'm on a new planet after I had been resigned to an afterlife alone in limbo. Sorry I'm not completely ecstatic being bound either, metal or magic." Celeste rose an eyebrow at him, "Shall we start over and go shopping now?" she asked, hands moved to her hips.

 

[Farcry]

RE: It's Raining from Limbo [Farcry x Risi]

Standing up he allowed his hand to drag up along her leg to just above her knee before letting go. The tall man looked down into her eyes, standing quite close to her. He was curious about the small woman, this person from another world who seemed connected to three worlds and now found herself in a fourth. In fact he understood how she could be quite upset, yet he was just protecting himself.

"I am sorry that I have inconvenienced you taking you away from your life in limbo." A pause, a heavy sigh and then trying again. "I did not mean to cause you pain, in fact I'm not sure how my summoning spell did so. Listen, I wasn't planning on this, I thought I was summoning a demon who could help me. Summoning isn't easy... Anyways, these are my problems." Slowly he stepped out of the circle, keeping his eyes on her. "Sure, we can go shopping."

Walking over to a table with several books, a couple of stones and a stick he walked back over with the stick and leaned down. He seemed to scribble on the floor and the characters began to shift and change. "We need to figure out what to do about you. I mean the summoning will end in a year and a day anyways but really I understand that you're upset but I'm did this to protect me and it does seem like I saved you from a pretty crappy existence."

Who knows which bizarre movement he did but all of a sudden the circle around her glowed shifting from purple to orange and then across the spectrum to blue as the light formed almost a solid barrier to just a foot or so above her head before dying down. He then stood up. "You can come out now. Though if you don't mind stay here while I go get you some shoes. Don't touch anything either."

 

[Risi]

RE: It's Raining from Limbo [Farcry x Risi]

The bright light was offensive on her retina but she basked in it's momentary color and warmth. She stepped cautiously from the circle, testing if it would hurt her before she said another word. She found it odd that he needed tools and symbols to make his magic, all she had to do was say a spell or two in her head, or aloud for added power. "I understand why you did it," she said loosely as she locked her hands behind her back and stepped about his lab, looking among things. Just as he was about to shut the door to get her shoes she turned, "Thank you," she said it gratefully. Her hand ran over her neck insecurely as she averted her eyes back to his desk and around his things.

Once he had left she begun flipping through some books, somewhat surprised they spoke the same dialect of each other and wondered if everything was written the same way. It was. Pursing her lips she wondered how long she had been dead. There was no way of knowing in Heaven, or Limbo even if she had been there longer, it could have been a few days to hundreds of years. Would she age here? Celeste thought of these things as he brought her shoes. The door opened slowly and she removed her hands from his possessions to walk towards him and choose her shoes. There was a pair of dark converse-like sneakers and a pair of heels that were black and lacy. The converse didn't match, though they would be comfy, so she opted for the heels, which conveniently matched her choker. she bent to slip them on, giving her an inch or two and stretching her calves to flex and making her bum look rounder. Nodding, she remembered how much she used to like heels.

"So what's our story? I suppose I can't just pop up out of nowhere around here, can I?" she shook her head, not waiting for an answer, "Transfer student that you're showing around? Maybe. But that would mean I would have to go to class..." she paused, a lightbulb went off in her head, "I'll be your girlfriend that you're showing around. You certainly couldn't have one already, you spend too much time in that lab." Celeste had always been a talker, and she was over being a sad sack like she was in Heaven. She had a life to live now, so god dammit she was going to live it. The places where her wings had been closed and cleared up quickly once she had exited the circle, simply leaving a two inch scar line on each of her shoulder blades. Opening the door she motioned her hand for him to lead the way, but as he passed she slipped her hand into his. The touch of skin on hers made Celeste giddy, the energy she pooled with him was impressive, it was a way of testing his power but not using any of hers or taking his. Not all of the magicians around her could do it, it was a gift you were born with, and Celeste had it. Thankfully it had no side effect of the burning collar.

 

[Farcry]

The tables and shelves were filled with numerous pieces of equipment and artifacts. Books were piled haphazardly about the place and yet there was no dust, clearly a diligent person who if not took care of at least actively used the resources he had gathered. The subjects that the books were on ran a wide spectrum, though on the desk were a number of books pertaining to the art of summoning as well as bestiaries of demonic sorts. The descriptions were quite thorough and harsh of the infernal types yet the illustrations seemed to vary wildly in quality and accuracy.

As he came back he noticed she had been looking through his stuff which caused him to purse his lips and not realize that she had picked out a pair of shoes before he could show her the lace stockings he had grabbed to go with the shoes she'd chosen. Instead he looked around the room to make sure everything was still in it's place. While her outfit lacked the stockings it was an attractive choice, though Celeste seemed to want to speak poorly of it, like she did of everything about him, thinking it was slutty. It wasn't like he had only grabbed slutty clothes, just things that would probably fit her or be close enough to fit for now.

As she spoke of story Erol's eyes kind of glazed over. Then he tilted his head as she insulted him again. Honestly the woman didn't seem to have a kind bone in her body. Stepping up near her he looked at her curiously. "Do you ever say anything nice? Are you sure you're an angel? I'm just asking because you seem to either insult me or yell at me. While I currently don't have a girlfriend I am not sexless and I've got a couple of girls interested in me." Only one really and another that gives him mixed signals and is probably only nice when she wants something from him. Then he grabbed the bridge of his nose and pinched it as he sighed. "Sorry, it's just...." Another sigh.

Then turning to her he took her other hand in his gloved hand. "Be careful around me, okay. I don't know what magic you are used to but just be careful okay. Also hold your breath for a second." With that he tugged her and she could see why he said to hold her breath as the air turned bitterly cold, like an arctic blizzard made up of icy daggers piercing the face and lungs and then it was over and they were standing by a wrack of soccer balls in what was obviously a supply closet. The entrance to the pocket dimension room was impossible to see. Nodding his head to the side he said, "Come on, and if you want to pose as my girlfriend that is fine."

The college was a palatial estate with an architecture like out of some fantastical euro-centric ideal. Large stone edifices with huge arching stained glass domes. The green grounds were lush and vibrant with flowers in full bloom though it seemed to be fall. It also seemed by the look of the student body they all wore similarly outfits more typical to a Hollywood movie set in the near future, something between cyberpunk, high fashion and character designs for a Japanese RPG.

 

[Risi]

"I wasn't supposed to be there, obviously... Like I've told you," she said, rolling her eyes as she finally gathered her thoughts after the transportation. She wasn't sure she liked the way he regarded her, uninteresting and common. With a heavy sigh she followed him as they walked about the lush college. Celeste's eyes flicked from one place to another, unable to take each of the sights in at once. "No wonder you didn't think it was slutty..." she commented quietly as a woman in a extremely low cut catsuit and platform heels walked by.

They soon happened upon a store, after walking for a bit with girls eying Celeste oddly as she wasn't dressed as extravagantly as themselves. The windows were filled with characters' outfits and other things. She looked around, amused at the extremes of dress this college, perhaps world, went through. After a few minutes in the racks of the store she had accumulated a multitude of outfits, filling her arms as she hobbled carefully on the heels she could no longer see. The dressing rooms were simple section-off partitions with large pieces of bright fabric, slightly sheer, hung across the sections.

After hanging the clothes from hangers she slipped out of her heels and borrowed clothes. She stood in her lacy black undergarments, pondering what to try on first, also wondering if she should model them for Erol. With a grin she chose a latex-like red halter top. After removing her bra she pulled the top on, it was short on the bottom, exposing from just below her nipple and beyond. The cusp of her breasts were exposed, showing off her small waist as well. She stood there, then searching for a proper bottom in her thong and this restricting top. With a smile she picked a pair of short shorts that left nothing to the imagination and her thong straps showed over her hips. Her grin continued as she pulled back the curtain and put her hands on her hips, showing off for the store, but especially Erol.

The young man stood about nervously in the clothing shop. He looked about, trying not to gather attention but instead keeping to himself. His pale eyes still scanned the outfits, certainly appreciating some of them. Now and then he would glance towards the silhouette of the angel undressing and then dressing behind the almost sheer fabric. It was certainly an enjoyable show. Nothing he hadn't seen before but she was his, possibly she her relationship with him could become something more but it would be hard to tell what she even was going to do, what was he going to do. He could in time bind her to this plane so she would not go back to limbo but did either of them want that.

As she stepped out his brow quirked upwards. Seeing her stand akimbo he saw her sassiness with some amusement. Lifting something off one of the shelves he walked over to her. With a broad grin he handed her the thin black suspenders. "Here, and it'll be perfect." Then he thrust his hands back into his pockets. "So, is this your way of saying you want to stay here or are you in fact a succubus?" He joked as succubi had been proven to be male fantasies or occasionally female appearing demons who had been strapped down with an absurd binding contract placed on it.

"Pick out a few outfits, that is if you plan to stay a while." His wry grin twitched as he looked at her.

Attaching the suspenders she listened to his question, "I suppose I can stay, but as a favor to you, not me." She gave him a playful wink as she looked up from the now attached suspenders. Sliding the straps off her shoulders she walked back into the dressing room, calling over her shoulder, "I'm not a succubus." She stripped once again, looking odd as she danced slightly to remove the skin tight top.

Her next outfit was one with a pleated blue plaid skirt that fell high on her thighs and a matching cream blouse that was only buttoned to just below her cleavage, her black bra exposed slightly through the opening. Grinning she stepped out of the room as she pulled her hair into two high ponytails. Watching his reaction she giggled and returned back through the curtain to try on another. After a few changes, a lot actually, she went through the outfits, a wide smile on her face the entire time.

Celeste couldn't remember the last time she had such fun, shaking her head slightly she refused to let bad memories ruin it for her. With her hands full with a few complete outfits, complete with shoes and accessories, she walked to the counter and turned to Erol. Among the purchases there was the school girl outfit, a corset or two, tight skirts, some lingerie, and some pants. In addition, she also stacked some shoe boxes on the counter. Thigh-high leather boots, sexy kitten heels, and a few other pairs of heels and boots of assorted colors. She looked back to Erol with a grin, what girl didn't love shopping on someone else's tab? She knew that she would need both his protection and his magic to tie her to this world, and if she enjoyed it in the process of helping him, who lost? No one.

Licking her lips with a smile, she slid her hand into his once again, attempting to play the part she had cast herself into.
