She's into superstitions
Who: Sae & You!
When: makes vague hand motions
Where: aefenglom
What: Sae practices with her fae illusion powers and probably scares the shit out of people as a result
Warnings: Body horror from the ghosts she illusions up, attempted strangulation in one prompt.
A. Spooky Scary Skeletons
[Hua Cheng had shown that he could use illusions rather well, so why couldn't she? Sure it seemed mostly geared towards changing the appearance of the land around them rather than individual people, but surely if she focused enough she could figure out one or the other, right?
It takes a long time--she's got too much self-doubt for this to go easily--but eventually she starts with small things and works her way up from there. Anyone passing by the river might be in for quite the shock, then, at seeing a rather grotesque man-like monster haning out, towering above the young girl. Behind it, unmoving, stands some sort of veild priest , though Sae doesn't seem to be able to hold his form as well as the other. It flickers and waves sometimes before solidifying again.
She doesn't appear at all afraid of the more monstrous form though, smiling warmly and reaching up to pat at his arm]
There, there... You look exactly like him. But I probably can't do much with you except have you look scary, can I...? I wonder if these can kill...
[A totally normal thing to wonder about, don't mind this!!]
B. Til Death Do Us Part
[Or perhaps, rather than seeing Sae playing with those ghosts, there's a mure curious sight you might come across.
Sae, in her kimono, laying out on the banks of the river. But the more interesting sight is an identical-looking girl straddling her, her hands enclosed around Sae's throat.
There's no struggle from Sae. She just stares up at the other girl, who stares back with an equally impassive expression. There's a beat before Sae scowls and abruptly, violently, throws the girl off of her. The girl disappears as Sae kicks at the ground with a scream of frustration, before she flops over and curls up on her side, hands pressed to her face.]
Useless...! What's the point!? Even now, why won't you--!? [She makes another muffled shriek of frustration and lays there, breathing heavily. After a moment she takes a breath and sits up, eyes narrowing at the space in front of her. The girl appears again, arms at her side, waiting and Sae stares at her intently.]
There has to be something...
C. Butterfly Garden
[At least this is a much mor epleasant scene to come across. Crimson butterflies flit about lazily, all seeming to converge in a mound on the ground. It's all rather peaceful at first, until the mound moves and the butterflies take off into the sky in a swarm of crimson, and then blink out of existence all at once.]
Oh... [Sae sits up again, looking vaguely disappointed, then rubs at her eyes before giving a big yawn. She rests her elbow on her knee, cheek in hand, staring at the sky rather dispassionately. But there's always people coming and going, so she conjures up another butterfly, sending it off to a random passer-by out of curiosity.
If it catches anyone's attention enough, the butterfly flits about for a little bit, before 'exploding' in a shower of sparks in their face and disappearing. Sae's immediately peals of laughter makes it quite clear just who it came from too.]
