Title: Of Wizards and Other Divine Things
Location: Stacy; Engineering






It had taken him not too long to realise that an interdimensional wizard had made his way into Renne's expansive panthaeon of Deities. Whether he was a Deity or not had become irrelevant, much like Imhotep being deified in Egypt's Old Kingdom. And it was to this wizard Renne prayed, worshipped as he worked. He'd come to love this place, this strange building with its secret song but it had become a love that set this place apart as sacred, holy.

"You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be."


Constant softly-spoken prayer and song are his mantra as his hands work steadily on this strange device. It's a golden thing with a single, broad blue stripe, taken after a Pharaoh's death mask, except this is nothing to do with death and it isn't a mask. At the converging center point of this vaguely triangular piece, a silver diamond sits emblazoned with two unicorn's heads with their horns crossed.

He smiles upon checking his work. The easy part is completed now, with the faint blue tinge set on the unicorns' heads. The hard part is what comes next and his fingers carefully touch a place between the unicorns' heads. And he crosses his proverbial fingers.

You raise me up...

He'd let Billy have a good nap, hopefully. Even had a nap himself.

Now, however...well, the oddity quietly wakes up with an insidious little plot in his mind. It begins fairly simple enough, with quiet sneaking. Sneaking from his nest to the foot of Billy's bed.

Sneaking. Sniffing.

And should he find a bare foot, tickling of said foot.

[morphitudinous]

Well, that was a pleasant nap.

Grinning to himself, Billy slowly starts to stir. There's still things to do today, such as---

---haha---

---the tickling. He twitches, a small laugh escaping him. "Already?"

[bluebrassmonkey.livejournal.com]

"Heee. Boo."

'Boo' indeed. Impish little grin on his face, Renne "attacks" a pair of human feet and toes with a flurry of tickles and sniffs.

[morphitudinous]

"Hey! Way to---haha---attack a man while he's down, ha!"

Billy's not angry at all. On the contrary, he's feeling pretty alert. And thoroughly tickled. In this position, he's largely reduced to helpless laughter, but he does wiggle his toes defiantly once or twice.

[bluebrassmonkey.livejournal.com]

"Heee!"

He sniff-tickles those wiggling toes. And then the oddity crawls on up to Bee's shoulders with an extremely impish little look on his face.

"Rrrraowrrr."

[morphitudinous]

Ah---in this position he can do something. Both hands move---one throws off the blanket, and the other wiggles its fingers at Renne. Anywhere he can reach, though that just might end up being an ankle.

And it's a foot he gets! Which sends the very ticklish little imp sprawling onto his back, squeaking with laughter.

"Eeeeeeee!"

[morphitudinous]

Billy sits up, glancing over his brother to make sure that he's okay. When he's sure, he lightly tickles Renne's sides.

"Haha! Having fun?"

[bluebrassmonkey.livejournal.com]

"Heeee! Tick-kull, hee!"

Of course, even sprawled on his back and squeaking with laughter, he's trying to retaliate with the tickling.

[morphitudinous]

"S'what you get for tickling a man when he's hardly able to act," Billy laughs, not at all serious.

He tries to keep a relative hold on Renne, but the imp is rather sneaky and slippery.

[bluebrassmonkey.livejournal.com]

"Heee. Sil-lee Bee."

He's giggling still but when Billy lets go, the imp crawls back up to try and be nose-to-nose with the Human.

Sniff. Lick.

"Hee."

[morphitudinous]

In retaliation, Billy's hand reaches up to play with an ear. "Oh, I'm the one being silly? Need I remind you that you started this?"

It's a silly question, and he can't quite keep a straight face throughout.

[bluebrassmonkey.livejournal.com]

Said ear of course, twitches playfully. Yep, he has good control over his ears but alas, no control over their ticklishness.

"Hee. Noh, Bee did."

Raspberry. Giggle.

[morphitudinous]

Silence reigned for a beat.

"And how did I do that? I don't remember guiding your paw to my foot."

[bluebrassmonkey.livejournal.com]

"Hee. It be therrrre."

As if that's an answer in and of itself!

[morphitudinous]

"so that's how it is? I started it by...not protecting my foot?"

Shaking his head, Billy slides one of his hands under Renne's arm and issues another tickle. Hah.

[bluebrassmonkey.livejournal.com]

"Eey-ess -- Eeee!"

Which of course, earns a squealing giggle-squirm and an attempt at a comeback. Tickling paws quest to tickle!
