5th Bite - The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil

[badladyscramble]

[Early Monday morning, Remilia finds a package on her doorstep. Having long since decided it's no use fretting over these things, she opens it immediately - and as realization spreads in her mind, she grins wickedly and heads for the roof. Finally, something that can go right...]

[Action - All Day Monday, Around Town]

[Throughout the day, hints of red mist start to fill the town, spreading around out from Ricardo Street. Also throughout the day, Remilia can be found walking around with her parasol or at her usual hangouts (Sakuya, Flandre and Meiling's houses), seeming a lot more upbeat than usual and grinning far more than is possibly normal. She seems very pleased with herself.]

[Action - All Day Tuesday, Around Town]

[Now the town is entirely drowned in Scarlet Mist, cutting out much of the sunlight and leaving what's left of it deep crimson. Most people can only see a few yards, but Remilia has no trouble navigating through the red cloud that covers even over the tallest houses and buildings. Delighting in her freedom from the sun, anyone in the mist might hear a delighted, wicked laughter or spot a dark shape with large, bat-like wings flitting about through the mists. Feel free to call her out, or maybe she'll stop by herself when she sees those rendered helpless or frustrated by their surroundings.]

[Phone - Tuesday Evening]

Ahh, the world's so much better painted in red! Truly, a devil's delight. Much better than the boring white of all those houses and picket fences, don't you think? But~ I'm sure there are some of you who disagree, don't you?

You're welcome to come and find me if you dare to argue - the Scarlet Devil won't refuse a fun date~ Especially from a certain red-white miko, hmm? It's going to be a fun night.

[Action - Tuesday Night, 506 Ricardo]

[And in a relatively clear patch of the mist, Remi is standing on top of the roof of her house, posing dramatically with her wings out and hands folded before her chest, awaiting the night's entertainments. The thinning mist above her paints the moon a deep red, making for quite the silhouette.]

Hmhmhm, I wonder if she'll come~

[OoC: The Scarlet Mist mini-event has begun! The details can be found here, but basically red mist will begin filling the town on Monday; by Tuesday Morning, most of the town will be so covered in red mist, you can't see more than a few feet to a few yards at most. Feel free to respond to any of the prompts or make your own posts complaining about/dealing with the red mist.

It all goes away Tuesday night at midnight, after Marisa beats the crap out of her, so for anyone who fights her, just know she's either going to win or escape since her fight against Marisa will be the last one.

You can also come fight her faithful servant, Meiling, over here, as it's a midboss's gateguard's duty to take on anyone who wants to challenge the final boss.]

Somehow that answer is not all too surprising at all. Shall I guess that this mist is to block sunlight? [It must be hard being a vampire and... actually needing to avoid sunlight... Not like Rachel would know.]

[badladyscramble]

Yes~ Now I can go out and play, day or night~ The sun is my enemy, after all.

[silpheed]

Hm. While the color of the mist is an excellent choice, [AWWW YEAH SCARLET] do you truly believe you will be able to keep it up forever?

[badladyscramble]

I don't see why not; it doesn't exactly require much energy after casting.

[MISSING THE POINT]

[silpheed]

Ah, well, I wonder at that. [Because surely she'd be tired if someone whipped her ass for putting up this mist SOMEONE HERE IS PROBABLY UNHAPPY AT IT AT LEAST this town always has someone mad at something right. u_u]</

[badladyscramble]

It's fine, it's fine~ We should just enjoy the nice weather now~ No need to worry about that glaring eye in the sky anymore~

[silpheed]

I suppose the sun can be quite bothersome at times. Such darkened weather is a touch more comfortable.

[badladyscramble]

Right? And the humans who stumble about in confusion or fear are just all the more entertaining~

[silpheed]

It is almost as if they've never encountered a mist or a fog before. Perhaps the color is what is so startling, but I can find no reason to complain when such a lovely color is picked.

[badladyscramble]

Right? Humans really are such frail creatures without the light of day to guide them. It's why they've always been so scared of the night~

[silpheed]

It is inevitable that one day they will have to fend for themselves without a guide and stand on their own two feet. This event might as well be practice for whenever such a time comes.

[badladyscramble]

Oh? What a bleak future you paint. I wonder if mankind could survive such an event.

[silpheed]

I truly wonder indeed. Frankly, I wonder if I should bother having any faith in them at all. [Her world sucks ass it's true... TERUMIIIII!!]

[badladyscramble]

Well, occasionally there are an interesting few. Like our shrine maiden - though she's not quite as fun here, since she has none of her powers back.

[silpheed]

Then I hope for your sake she regains such powers quickly. It is always a great disappointment for someone interesting to turn into a great bore.

[badladyscramble]

Right? Well, she's still an interesting person, but I can't play with her as hard.

[silpheed]

How flattering it must be for her to be such a valued plaything. [Or playmate, W/E SAME DIFFERENCE.]

[badladyscramble]

Right? She isn't nearly grateful enough sometimes though.

[NO, NO, PLAYTHING WORKS]

[silpheed]

Surely you must teach her then to value her role. Perhaps some sort of punishment is in order?

[badladyscramble]

Well, she's really stubborn. It would probably just make her even more ornery.

[silpheed]

Such irritable behavior can be fun to aggravate at times.

[badladyscramble]

That's certainly true enough~ But you can't push them too far, or they just make it more trouble than it's worth.

[silpheed]

True, true. Finding such a delicate balance between the two can be quite the challenge.
