Setsuna woke up deep at night. Everything was quiet. But something was wrong, wrong, completely wrong, she could feel it in her bones, all the way to her wings and every feathertip.
She got up, looked around, then looked down onto herself.]

"Wh..."

The door to her room burst open instants later, and Setsuna was gone, fleeing into the night.

The netherworld was a place of demons. And, despite how she looked, Setsuna wasn't fully human. The blood of demons ran through her veins...

[Openings!

1.Your character spotted someone flying high above the ground, with unclear purpose. An angel? The large, white wings sure suggested so... but what was an angel doing in the netherworld? And why did she, if someone had the senses to spot it, a rather dark aura?

2. Your character was exploring some cave high up in some generic spooky area, when a noise behind them alerts them - to the frenzied attack of a rather angry-looking winged albino with swords! It will take more than words to calm that one down...!

[She suddenly snatched Setsuna's hands in her own.]

Is your demon blood boiling? If you feel like ravishing me, please, don't hold back!

*Evangeline, coming after Setsuna from her thread just after this thread... Is just close enough to hear Konoka's comment and spit-take.

Give her a moment, or ignore her for a few tags until she gets her composure back together.*

[im_gonna_protect_u]

[Setsuna, meanwhile, naturally - because she was completely stupid on this subject - expected negativity. More than she had for the wings.

An eager request for ravishment was the last thing she had expected. Which, really, was good, because it forced her to actually think on what to say in general.]

What? No! Of course not, I would never feel like that without asking! I mean in general!

[She wanted to do a dismissing waving motion to deny these charges further, but sadly, she was unable to do so, her hands were taken, so instead she tried a pleading glance (red, glowy eyes killed that a bit, but well, the effort count.

And then she noticed Evangeline. And paniced - though, again, without being able to flee thanks to the bondage by Konoka's hand.]

It's not what it looks like! And I didn't mean to attack you before, I wasn't in my right mind!

[im_gonna_heal_u]

Secchan, I know it's hard for you to deal with your past, but if you don't, things like this might happen he--

[Oh wait, Eva-chan was there?!]

Ummm. Hi there?

[high_on_daylight]

... *Recovering her composure, Evangeline steps onto the ground near them both.*

Good evening, Konoka and Setsuna.

*The tone sounds... More annoyed than anything else.*</i

[im_gonna_protect_u]

Uhm, I know, uhm, and what I said just now wasn't...

[At that point Konoka reminded her of Eva again, and Setsuna flinched, trying to not look at the vampire.]

U-uhm, Master, I ... Uhm...Good evening...

[im_gonna_heal_u]

Eva-chan, do you know something that will help Secchan calm down?

[high_on_daylight]

I wonder...

*Setsuna? Those two words may be the most threatening you have ever heard from the vampire, given how venom-laced they sound.*

[im_gonna_protect_u]

M-master? It r-really was an accident...

[Threatening alright!]

[im_gonna_heal_u]

What's going on, Secchan?

[She looks between the two of them. She had a feeling this wasn't good at all.]

[im_gonna_protect_u]

"U-uhm, ....Konochan, I, uhm, I attacked master Evangeline..."

Setsuna was trying to shrink (which she failed at, really) and couldn't meet Konoka's eye. "It wasn't on purpose!"

[high_on_daylight]

"More precisely," Evangeline responded, "She went berserk at my presence. Most likely, she was less than thoroughly in control of herself, due to her more-or-less truest nature - physically - suddenly unleashing itself. Frankly, it says quite a bit that you were able to get enough reaction out of her as to cause her to get back under control, Konoka. A less devoted girlfriend might have attacked you."

She glanced towards Setsuna, as if to watch her reaction.

[im_gonna_protect_u]

[Setsuna mostly flinched, turned very, very red - but her usual dismissive-waving-motion was sadly cut short, as her hands were still in Konoka's clutches.]

[im_gonna_heal_u]

So Secchan snaps out of demonic rage because I like teasing her enough? But I was serious...

[Still, even in a situation like this, Setsuna's blushing, panicked face is on the cute side...]

[high_on_daylight]

"More that she is devoted to your safety... Though her attempts to flee indicate she's still got a complex about her appearance, as if wings are at all unusual here."

[im_gonna_protect_u]

Don't be serious about ravaging!

[Apparently, the word choice was more the issue than the suggestion itself, huh. ]

And I-I don't have a complex, I just-

[Just believed that albino crows are uncanny territory, not that she managed to speak that out. Did Setsuna ever have issues...]

[im_gonna_heal_u]

Secchan, please!

[Her grip is tighter on Setsuna's hands.]

I'm here. It's okay. Let it all out.

[high_on_daylight]

*Evangeline just watches this, not saying any more yet.*

I desperately need better, more secure icons after this. Probably involving suits and kimonos.

[im_gonna_protect_u]

I wouldn't have attacked you! Ever!

[Yes, the most important thing came first.]

This-this horrible form is just...

...it shows what I really am, not a human but...but this! It's all wrong! My kind exiled me, because of this. How can I ever be seen by anyone in this? It is wrong, ugly...

[Yeah, it's the good old wing complex, just about, well, the entire form. Which is likely why she masked it in the first place. That and fitting in.]

[im_gonna_heal_u]

Secchan.

[Konoka's staring intently at her.]

Look at me. I don't care about those things. Why? Because You. Are. Secchan. Please! Don't hate yourself like this! Your clan kicked you out because you look like an angel... I don't care about those criminals, I care about you!

So please...!

[im_gonna_protect_u]

[And that caused Setsuna to cry.

She could have denied more, truly, but on the other hand, the problem was that reality was kinda making that hard to cling to. What with Konoka looking disgusted and all.

It wasn't as if a part of her hadn't hoped for something like that, but another had been rather adamant on saying 'no, you must never'. Sure, when Konoka and Asuna had seen her wings before, it had been some hint for a possible positive outcome but...she had stuck with, well, remaining how she had always looked for a reason. Fear, mostly.]

I-I'm sorry, I'm so stupid...

[im_gonna_heal_u]

Shhhh...

[Konoka just wants Setsuna to have some happiness. Anything else be damned.]

It's okay. You're not dumb. It's okay...

[im_gonna_protect_u]

[Setsuna, well, just leaned against Konokas shoulder, sobbing. Give her a bit, poor half-bird. She still sobbed 'Konoka' and 'I'm sorry', but that was to be expected.]

[im_gonna_heal_u]

[Konoka is still hugging Setsuna tightly.]

Ummm, Eva-chan? Can we talk later? Secchan needs to gather herself.

[She's not expecting a rosy answer, but Eva's shown to have a heart sometimes, and she knows Eva will have good advice--Setsuna just needs to be in the mood for it.]

[im_gonna_protect_u]

I-its fine...anything she says is something I'd deserve to hear. I attacked her...

[Well, being hugged tightly felt good enough and safe enough that she could say and mean that. Shaky voice or not.]
