she's a maneater; make you work hard, make you spend hard

[mercyisweakness]

Who: Crematia and YOU
Where: Everywhere in the City level, take your pick
Summary: Crematia goes on a stroll. Naked.
Warnings: She is quite possibly the most awful person to grace your presence. Expect her to fling mockery from her behalf, threats, temper tantrums, to even possibly bodily and emotional harm. Watch out.

Crematia misses her lair greatly. She misses fire and the sulfuric stench, the heat, the danger, everything of Darklady Mountain. And no words, not even the most awful curses uttered from demons from the Abyss, can fully convert her contempt and hatred for this place. She despises it so much, she spits fire everywhere, hoping the buildings will catch fire. Of course, they never do, as Stacy - Crematia hates Stacy as much as she hates Aurican - will find a way to stop her fire and try to discipline Crematia.

Really, what is it and these stupid lesser beings that don't understand she is better than any of them? It is not a hard concept to understand.

Which is why Crematia is walking around in the City level in human form, completely nude. In her logic, if no one will see her something to revered then she is something to be remembered.

But what about the children, Crematia? WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN?

Actually, the children, in this instance, Mindy, are likely to be watching you with a kind of startled curiosity. She'd been on this ship awhile, and knowing that species of people were different, she was actually surprised this hadn't happened much sooner. Granted, since she was dating Ruffnut, looking at the female body took on a host of different feelings, but hell, she wasn't old enough for her hormones to rule her brain.

Not that Diana didn't try, but that was a different story.

"You sure you wanna do that?" She asked, emerging from her cafe. "I mean, this is usually the set up for a tentacle probing, or at least a series of cheap comedic events."

[mercyisweakness]

Children? Oh, she ate children before. They make the funniest screams.

"Depends on the comedy," Crematia replies. "One might find nudity hilarious, others might find setting things on fire to be the greatest entertainment. I am one of the latter."

[hit_girl_mindy]

Creepy! Not enough to send Mindy off screaming (nothing short of zombies would do that really), but enough to make Mindy at least mindful that a woman who was walking around in the nude was likely not going to mind burning down the joint if she had the chance.

"So why the lack of clothes?" She asked. "Just felt like goinng au natural, trying to prove a point. Usually something like this is going to bother a few people, you know, once they stop drooling and all."

[mercyisweakness]

"I just got tired of wearing clothes." Crematia shrug. "Really, I'm not hurting anyone for once. I do not understand the problem."

[hit_girl_mindy]

That brought up several possibilities. She might be a human from a more liberal kind of world, where clothing was optional. In that case, though, she figured she might have been nude awhile ago. She was already really curious about this woman.

You know, if she was that.

"People are usually clothed for a reason," she said. "You know, sensibilities and all of that shit. Walking around like that, you're likely going to attract the attention of some kind of higher ups soon enough."

[mercyisweakness]

"I suppose clothes look better when you wear them. Like crowns or jewelry." That, she can get. Having many nice things as possible is a sign of high status.

And then she laugh at the idea of "higher-ups" having a word with them. "I will gladly have an exchange of words with them."

[hit_girl_mindy]

"Also tend to be a way to protect us in weather conditions and attacks and all of that," Mindy said. Obviously she was used to wearing clothes, and saw the lack of them as an impracticality rather than anything moral or decent. Hell, she thought the same thing about people who fought without armor: they were just asking to get injured.

"If you say so. Just think you should be careful who you piss off on the ship. You never know when you might actually need to fight alongside them, or hell, even protect you if it ever comes to it."

[mercyisweakness]

Protection from the rain is for the weak, obviously.

"What, anger our lovely superiors? I wouldn't dream of it."

She would just eat 'em, cause that's how Crematia rolls.

[hit_girl_mindy]

From the rain? Probably. From the acid rain? No shame in that.

"Somehow I'm not believing you," Mindy said, managing a half smirk. "In fact, I'm sorta beginning to doubt what I'm even looking at is probably what I think. I mean yeah, you look human and you sorta act it, but not too many human just go stark naked in the city, even if where they're from allows it."

Hey, there was naive and then there was stupid.

[mercyisweakness]

That's funny because she actually ran into a fog of acidic mixture once in the tournament. Shit sucks.

"Really? I've seen tribesmen walk around stark naked in the cities they conquered."

[hit_girl_mindy]

"Yeah, but you don't strike me as a tribesman," Mindy countered, "because, you know, I just have that feeling about you. Not that I want to put you down, if you like the idea of saying you were."

The idea of tribesman conquering Stacy was a funny one anyway.

[mercyisweakness]

"Of course I'm not. I merely lead them. Doesn't matter now."

Though the thought is pretty funny. If Stacy can take on the likes of Crematia, then tribesmen will be slaughtered.

[hit_girl_mindy]

"Pretty high up there, leading tribesman now. Just a moment ago I thought you were one of them. Now I'm getting more curious why you;d just be walking around with no clothes."

Because she was already having theories, which were no fun if she couldn't find out if they were even right.

[mercyisweakness]

"Because I am tired of wearing them all the time."

And she didn't want to walk around in her dragon form all the time either.

[hit_girl_mindy]

"So you just strip 'em off. That's pretty radical," she said. "You usually only do that when you're skinny dipping or something. That and I guess people worry about rape, maybe?"

She didn't think about being naked. Vulnerability was not her thing.

[mercyisweakness]

"As luck will have it, I am not like most people. I don't even have a 'people'."

Seriously, dragons have their own unique species but they don't use that unity crap except in warfare. Or, at least, chromatic dragons don't.

[hit_girl_mindy]

"Are you serious? You tellin' me you're the only one of your kind, or that you just don't associate with what could be considered your kind?"

Now there was no backing off: she was interested.

[mercyisweakness]

"I have a species, but for the longest while I was alone, yes. But before I left I have a clutch of eggs. But dragons don't consider themselves as a people, just a species, if that makes any sense."

Doubtful. Not many really understand dragons.

[hit_girl_mindy]

"A dragon." Another one? Sheesh, how many fucking dragons were there going to be on this ship? "I should have guessed. Well, nah, I really wouldn't have known anyway, I don't get to talk much to the dragons on the ship yet. Kinda interesting this is how you make your debut though: we had a potentially bad situation with a dragon hiding his identity on the ship before."

Which had been way too loud and annoying for her taste.

"So you guys really have no...way of associating yourselves with each other. Why not?"

[mercyisweakness]

"Why would he hide his identity? What did he do, insult a high born?" The last question was in jest, but her confusion is genuine. This hiding of the true self makes little to no sense, dragons never hide, not even metallics. Even if metallic dragons prefer the bodies of the two legs, they still make no bones about their dragon nature.

Ok, ignore that last icon as HG, as she is not dressed as that!

[hit_girl_mindy]

"I figure it was so that people wouldn't freak out," she said, shrugging. "I guess I can sorta get the idea of not wanting to make everyone upset by a huge ass dragon on the ship, but there have been dragons before. I didn't really see the big deal myself."
