[The second lounge, surrounded by clouds. It was a little dizzying to Catarina, but she honestly hadn't been looking out of the window for a while. Instead, she was sitting on beanbag chair with a necklace dangling over one hand. It was gorgeous, gold with a beautiful intricate charm carved onto the end. But her dark eyes were almost angry as she looked at it, her jaw tight. She knew what this was. She saw it when she was a child, and was supposed to be handed down to her. Catarina dropped her hand next to her, disgusted, letting the chain slither to the floor]

I've beaten you. I lived.

Gods, that *has* to be Eli from Let the Right One In in your icons, am I right?

[divinitysoiled]

... it's... still hard to believe.

Yup you are! She was just perfect for Nesir so...

[culbutiri]

Yes. It do be very hard to believe and I do be seeing any proof yet. [Except the fact they were here and she hadn't found any other reasons or motives yet...]

[divinitysoiled]

Have you not met any from your world here?

[culbutiri]

Not yet, but I do no be knowing everyone yet. [She tilted her head] Your clothes do be looking like they could be from my world... [Sort of...]

[divinitysoiled]

Hmm. It would be odd, if we were from the same world. I wouldn't have thought I would have met anyone outside the Pious's grasp.

[culbutiri]

The Pious? [Nesir wasn't that disappointed, the odds of her being from the same place as this woman were very slim.] What do the Pious be?

[divinitysoiled]

A group from my world that took in orphans, or those like myself without family. They supposedly were the most pious of the group by allowing and encouraging all manner of worship of all manner of gods. [Catarina grinned suddenly in memory] Or they were very good about taking care of an angel problem.

[culbutiri]

An angel problem? [Nesir didn't know what an angel was but the talk of gods had hooked her, that was a similarity.] Do there be many gods in your world?

[divinitysoiled]

Angels litter my world, cluttering up an otherwise fine existence with their idiotic ideals and morals. Many of them don't even realize it until something awakens them, making it even harder for those like me wishing them away. For the gods question... there appear to be.

[culbutiri]

[Nesir still didn't know what an angel was, but they sounded annoying. And... light sided which meant that this girl if she opposed them which she seemed to... was not. Interesting.] You do be wishing them away? How?

[divinitysoiled]

I suppose wish is the wrong word. But when they are so blindly moral... it makes it hard to not imagine a blade slicing their throats open.

[culbutiri]

[Nesir's interest was well and truly caught she nodded slowly] Well that do be the best course of action when people do be intent on following such idiotic morals... [She said it carefully... she was still wary, she wasn't stupid enough to think that just because there were people more open about not being completely on the side of the light, not been completely 'good' that it was safe.]

[divinitysoiled]

[Catarina tilted her head, intrigued] It's not often that one finds another agreeing about the state of morality and disgusting goodness in worlds.

[culbutiri]

No it do be a rare thing. [Another look around the room, checking they were alone.] The light gods do be having the power in my world, I do be finding people with more varied opinions here.

[divinitysoiled]

That is true. I wonder... what is your opinion of it, hm?

[culbutiri]

[Nesir shrugged trying to look nonchalant and not the mix of fear and excitement that she felt. This place may have captured her but at least it wasn't boring.]

The light god followers do be being stupid. They do be hiding behind their morality and be hating those of us who do be following the shadow god... but they do either not knowing anything about the world or they do be doing the same things as us and calling it good because it do be being in the name of the light gods.

[When she stops her whole body is ready to run, in case this was a trick, her hand hovers by her belt, ready to draw her dagger.]

[divinitysoiled]

[And then-]

[Catarina laughed, the noise full throated and startled into honesty.] I have never heard it said that way. Well said!

[culbutiri]

[The laugh startled her and her eyes narrowed thinking that she was being laughed at. But at the words she blinked and after a moment gave a shy smile. Praise wasn't something she was used to and she didn't really know how to handle it. She shrugged.] Not many people do be agreeing with me.

[divinitysoiled]

I am a demon, darling one. Your words are truth to me.

[culbutiri]

[She blushes slightly and looks away annoyed at herself, what is affection? Nesir doesn't know how to handle this.

But she is also confused. Again.] A demon? What do a demon be?

[divinitysoiled]

One born of the dark; the opposite of the damned angels. We hunt what the angels protect.

[culbutiri]

[One born of the dark... yet not a monster, not like a shadow monster.

Nesir just stared at her in amazement and something that could have been awe if Nesir knew the emotion.]

[divinitysoiled]

[Catarina smiled, reaching a hand out to her] I hold the hunger of a succubus, of carnal desire. Is it little wonder I detest the light so?

[culbutiri]

[Nesir didn't step away from her hand, she was still wary because Nesir was always wary; it was how she survived. But this woman fascinated her, was being nice to her and was of the dark.

She had no idea what a succubus was, but she didn't ask this time. She didn't want to seem completely stupid and she got the idea.] It do be no surprise. Living in a world that do be ruled by light idiots must be being very dangerous for you.

[divinitysoiled]

The dark is equally dangerous. It's merely more honest about it. I would rather deal with the honesty than the attempts to help and then attempts to kill all in the name of their god. [Her hand stroked Nesir's cheek lightly]
