I chose a shade of black for myself, and my animal is a bat. You can choose anything you like though. As long as it's an animal, it's fine.

[showmelove]

A bat...

I wanna be something cute. [She's that kind of girl, ok.] Maybe something fluffy like a bunny...? Hmm... maybe not, rabbits can be really scary, too. A bird might be good though.

[Her color is gonna be pink though and that's just how it's gonna be. No need to debate that.]

[iamverybadass]

A bunny is a little... [ Defenseless. He's getting the impression he shouldn't be too blunt with this newbie though. Better leave the warnings to Silver. ]

A bird would be a good choice. You have a wide range of options with them.

[showmelove]

[She smiles, looking at him expectantly when he trails off. She gets it.]

I wouldn't really be able to help anyone as a bunny, would I? Haha...

At least a bird can fly.

[iamverybadass]

[ Oh good this means he can sigh in relief ]

You wouldn't be able to help yourself as a bunny. Flight is an excellent option for escape, should you ever need it.

[showmelove]

... Escape, yeah. [Venus' ideas behind flight are a little different, but she doesn't say it, no matter how she might briefly look like she wants to say something.]

Do you fly?

[iamverybadass]

I can, yes. Silver's also capable of it.

[showmelove]

You can, but do you? Have you done it a lot? What is it like?

1/2

[iamverybadass]

Ah...I see.

I don't actually fly often. Under-utilizing the skill means that people forget I have it, and that has a strategic advantage.

[iamverybadass]

But I do race across the heights of the city even without flight, and that is exhilarating. You just want to know what it's like to go as high as you like, when you like, right?

More than anything else, it is...freeing. It's my favorite place to go when I wish to relax.

[showmelove]

[Venus smiles then, softer, warmer. That's more like what she wanted to hear.]

I used to fly. Only for a little bit though, so I never really got to do it as much as I'd like to.

[iamverybadass]

Used to, is it... What made you stop?

[showmelove]

Oh the um. Dying! Hahaha...

I only had wings for a little bit, but that's okay. I'm here now.

[iamverybadass]

Oh—ah. I apologize... I should have realized.

[showmelove]

It's fine. I guess I kind of expected it, but I'd hoped it wouldn't happen. We could have helped a lot of people, but people are scared of things they can't explain.

[iamverybadass]

What were you trying to do?

[showmelove]

We just wanted people to accept themselves... But it's probably scary, coming from three devils, right? Hahahah... [SWEATS.]

But everything was so, so bad, and so, so unfair until we did it, and we just wanted to share. It is more important to make others happy than it is to hide in fear.

[iamverybadass]

It is my experience that people fear change in general, regardless of who it's coming from.

... I am sorry that your experience ended so...terribly.

[showmelove]

Yeah... I definitely understand. So I'm not mad, I'm just sad. I miss Jupiter and Neptune, but that's okay, I'm sure they're doing fine wherever they are. I hope they didn't get too mad...

[iamverybadass]

Why would they be mad?

[showmelove]

Well, when the campers came and they killed me. I don't want them to get mad at them and do something they'd regret. I just hope they can be patient and wait to see me and not harm anyone. We were really just trying to help, after all.

[iamverybadass]

[ There are so many things to say to that! Most of them not helpful. Talon has to take a minute to wrestle with several of the first thoughts that come to mind before he actually lets himself speak, little puffs of smoke and sparks drifting out with every word ]

You should not worry. When you are granted your wish here, you can...ensure they have no regrets.
