---

Kaminari has posed:
Today was not a good day for Kaminari. Despite her best efforts the target of her Divine Retribution wound up in police custody and one fourth of an ancient Oni got freed to try and link up with its other parts like evil Voltron. The only silver lining is that she actually managed to get away without revealing her identity avoid tabloid exposes and unfavorable news coverage that could have damaged her music career.

So it is that Kaminari has come to be sprawled out across the luxurious couch of her current in a long series of Hotel Penthouse Suites flicking from one inane tv channel to another and drinking from a flask of Asgardian mead that recently came into her possession. It is in this state that she decides to drunk text Sally, as one does, about what a good friend Sally is, so reliable, and she misses her and she should definitely come over.

"Heidi! There's like a thousand channels and not one of them has anything interesting, how is that even possible?!" shouts a clearly drunk Kaminari from couch after she finishes her latest drunk text.

Heidi Ingerdottir has posed:
"Perhaps there is only nothing on because you are not looking hard enough. Or you could entertain yourself by writing a poem about how delicious my cupcakes are?"

Heidi is buzzing around the kitchen, mostly trying to figure out all of the wonderful gadgets that exist there in between actually trying to make a batch of said cupcakes. She hasn't been bold enough to move on to another recipe. She glares at the oven for not cooking fast enough.

"Or you could play some kind of game! What's the one with the bees again?"

Sally Houki has posed:
It's a good thing Sally Prime keeps one phone number for herself consistently. Else, you'd never know which Sally you were gonna get...

... not that this plan is foolproof. It took some self-negotiation, but Sally is here! The actual Sally.

The door is buzzed to let her know that she's here, of course, and she has a box in her hands. Wrapped.

Always bring gifts when visiting a Goddess.

Kaminari has posed:
Channel surfing intensifies as Kaminari squints at the TV, "Nope, I am fairly sure there is nothing of interest on any of these channels." Which she is of course determining from the split second that she is spending on each. At the mention of poetry there is a moment of silence before Kaminari in her inebriated state begins doing just that and recites an impromptu haiku about Heidi's cupcakes.

"Flavour of Maple
Like Clouds Floating in the Sky
Endless Deliciousness"

Eventually she peels herself off of the couch, "Sally is coming over!" she calls to the kitchen as she begins staggering about making some attempt at being a good hostess. She pulls together a tray from somewhere and three tumbler glasses on it, to which she adds ice from the hotel ice bucket sitting nearby, and lastly all three glasses are filled from the flask on the couch. This is due to the fact that in her inebriated state Kaminari seems to have forgotten she's generally not supposed to give Asgardian mead to individuals without the constitution of gods.

That is of course when Heidi buzzes the door and a slightly swaying Kaminari makes her way across the intervening space, tray of alcohol in hand, to answer it. "Sally! You came! You're so reliable Sally!"

Heidi Ingerdottir has posed:
When Heidi hears Sally from the doorway, she lets her enthusiasic greeting be heard by turning her volume up to an eleven. "Friend Sally!" She shouts from the kitchen, then moves to peek over towards the door. "Kami is very bored and you should enterain her because that is what good friends do." Naturally, Heidi is an expert on friendship.

Sally Houki has posed:
"Hi-Deeeeeee," says Sally, greeting her companion. She looks at the offered drinks, of coiurse, and holds out her box to Kaminari wordlessly. Tribute, you know. It's a thing that must happen.

She reaches for one of the drinks, such as they are, given that it would be rude to refuse. She doesn't get her clients to stay with her services by being rude, after all.

Kaminari has posed:
Kaminari gladly accepts Sally's tribute, she really likes presents, it's a god thing. She's also clearly inebriated as she holds out the tray for Sally to take one of the drinks. That's hardly new where Kaminari is concerned though, it is possibly even a relief compared to some of the /other/ things she could be doing. Just a glass of inncoent alcohol right? What could go wrong...

"Come in! Come in! A present for me?! You really are the best Sally!" she carries the box over to the couch, setting the tray with the last drink on the kitchen bar that faces the living room for Heidi.

"Heidi, your drink is over here." she calls before flopping down on the big comfy couch and beginning to tear open the box. Kaminari is a messy opener of boxes.

Heidi Ingerdottir has posed:
Heidi is busy in the kitchen, but busy is a matter of opinion. The cupcakes are already in the oven with a timer set, she's just fiddling around with kitchen gadgets as she attempts to figure out what to do with them. She does, however, move towards the other room when the drink is mentioned... that and she wants to see what's in the box.

"I feel as if I should invite people to my residence so that I can receive presents as well..."

Sally Houki has posed:
"You don't need to invite me over to get presents, Heidi," says Sally, casually moving towards Heidi to give her a hug, drink in hand. Heidi gets hugs, after all. Kaminari gets present. It's hard to know for sure who's getting the better deal here, but it would appear that Kaminari is getting some kind of fancy black headset and other accompaniments with 'Occulus' written on the side.

OH NO.

SALLY IS GIVING KAMI THE GIFT OF VR. This will probably end in tears.

Kaminari has posed:
Kaminari's glass is set aside on the coffee table for the moment as she tears open the box. Normally frustrating packaging designs are no match for superhuman strength and it isn't log before she has the black headset out of the box, surprisingly still in one piece. "What is this?!" she exclaims clearly never having seen a VR headset before, "Is it some kind of blindfold?" she peers at it from various angles, hand snaking out to pick up her glass so she can take a drink of its delicious contents as she does.

Heidi Ingerdottir has posed:
Heidi hugs Sally in return, a gentle squeeze before she moves to retrieve her own drink. She glances between Kami and Sally, moves a touch closer to see what's on the box, and then picks up on Kami's guess as to what it is. She blinks at Sally for a moment.

"A blindfold? Oh, is this one of /those/ sort of presents? Should I leave? ... but there are cupcakes still in the oven..."

Sally Houki has posed:
"...what?" says Sally, looking blanky at Heidi. She has no idea what she means. It's completely lost on her. Then she adds to Kami, "Oh, you're in for a treat. Kami, google 'Occulus Rift'," she tells her, "on your phone. And did you say...cupcakes?" Her eyes go back to Heidi. And then the oven.

Cupcakjes. Heidi's cupcakes. YUM. But there is booze, offered, and it's impolite to not drink.

Kaminari has posed:
Tap tap tap, Kaminari calls up the web interface on her phone and punches Occulus into google. She is then quiet for a minute or two as she reads about what an Occulus Rift is. Her eyes get a bit bigger as she begins to process the possibilities of virtual reality, "Isn't this like what Sorcerors and Wizards do?! But with captured lightning technology! Sally this is amazing!"

Phone and VR headset are set aside from as she suddenly raises her glass in the air nearly spilling some of it, "To Sally giver of the amazing gifts! Kampai!" It's clearly a toast.

Heidi Ingerdottir has posed:
Holding up her drink, Heidi is all about the toast. "To Sally! For gifts and wizards or something!" She was only half paying attention, but the timer is beeping, so she raises her glass only to set it down and zip on over to the kitchen to retrieve the cupcakes. They won't burn on her watch--not when she's getting so good at these! "You will have to explain the wizard device, friend Sally."

Sally Houki has posed:
"Kampai," beams Sally at Kaminari, observing Heidi with good cheer in the meantime. Then up the glass goes and she takes a nice drink of it because that's what you do.

Truth be told, Sally doesn't really drink. She avoids it. Her problems are bad enough that intoxication just makes them all so, so much worse. Which is why she's sort of looking at her cup speculatively, because that... that tasted... different.

Kaminari has posed:
Kaminari happily downs her drunk as happy drunks are want to do. She has already had a fair amount of the Asgardian mead from that wineskin and even with her divine consitution is starting to seem a bit tipsy. She sways back and forth for a moment watching Sally have her drink before turning her head to ask Heidi, "How long until the cupcakes of poem and legend are ready?"

Heidi Ingerdottir has posed:
"I have discovered that you must let them cool all the way or the frosting will be runny and they will look a mess." Heidi won't describe what it looks like--it's a mess. "They will need to sit for a while," she calls before she makes her way back into the room. "I would like the cupcakes to look impressive for my friends... who are equally as impressive." She beams, going for her glass now.

Sally Houki has posed:
Sally is already starting to feel warm, within a moment of drinking it. Which is unusual. Warm and bubbly, you know. She leans against Heidi and reaches up to tap her on the nose. "Boop," she says, then she spins towards Kami and says, "You are going to loooooooooove it so muuuuuch! It's CUTTING EDGE." Her eyes are big and wide.

Kaminari has posed:
Kaminari slowly nods her head as she listens to Heidi's cupcake sage wisdom, "What if I just make the entire room colder, would that help?" she asks curiously, completely willing to abuse the powers of a goddess to get faster cupcakes or maybe just turn on the central air.

But then Sally reminds her about the VR goggles and her attention shifts again as is common for tipsy people, "Yes! Worlds! Games! It all sounds so neat, like you can actually go inside of the game!" Nevermind that she has probably walked through actual magic portals before and fought creatures akin to those in many games, this time it's with technology!

Heidi Ingerdottir has posed:
"As long as you don't accidently freeze the cupcakes, that would help a great deal!" Heidi doesn't see anything wrong with it. Nothing could go wrong with that plan. Drunk power usage? Never a bad plan. She does blink at Sally at the nose boop. "You are in a very pleasant mood, friend Sally." She does, at last, take a sip of her own drink.

She tilts her head to the side. "Kami, did you mix up the drinks?" She sniffs it carefully. Nope, it definitely smells like the Asgardian mead. She then looks over towards Sally. "Ohh... I hope she doesn't get sick."

Sally Houki has posed:
"Well, why not? It's not like there's anything wrong right now?" says Sally, beaming at HEidi and throwing her arm around her waist and leaning on hyer.

"That was a weird drink," she adds, laughing. She seems to be energizing even more than her usual slightly high degree of pep.

Kaminari has posed:
Kaminari doesn't need a huge amount of encouragement in her tipsy state and begins blowing out a stream of cold air, maybe it's just for silly effect but the temperature of the room starts to become more akin to inside of the refrigerator. "Mix up the drinks?" she seems puzzled. Whatever does Heidi mean? She just gave them some of whatever expensive bottle she was drinking like she usually does.. oh wait. "That... might have been Asgardian mead." she admits after it finally dawns on her what she was drinking before they arrived and her gaze drifts over towards Sally. "She hasn't faceplanted yet, that's a good sign right?"

Heidi Ingerdottir has posed:
Heidi is now returning the sidehug with a bit of a stronger tug. She's planning on making sure to hold Sally up, juuuuust in case. "That is a good sign, yes. She seems to be in a good mood and not apologizing or making a mess of your floor. These are all good things." She gives Sally a small nudge. "Friend Sally, are you feeling alright? How many fingers am I holding up?"

That's a trick question. She's too busy holding Sally up to hold up fingers!

Sally Houki has posed:
"All of them," says Sally to Heidi, confused. Because, at least, in some possible version of this moment, all of them are being held up instead of none of them. "At least some of the time," she explains, blinking her eyes at Heidi. Yep. She's getting drunker, and fast, though she hasn't keeled over yet.

She defintiely looks unfocused, though, and her expression darkened a little at Kaminari's comemnt about 'faceplanting', as if it stirred something to mind. She pulls back from Heidi, glancing around quickly. "...we have to go," she says, swiftly, "we can't stay here." She is starting to get... extremely anxious. Her mood has turned on a dime, it woiuld appear. Whatever stirred, it stirred badly.

Kaminari has posed:
"Okay fine, sorry, sorry, I'll make it warm again. I just wanted cupcakes a little sooner." Kaminari clearly associating Sally's desire to go with the room's sudden drop in temperature. She finishes off the last of her glass of Asgardian mead and sits backward on the couch propping her chin on the back as she watches Sally and Heidi in the kitchen.

Heidi Ingerdottir has posed:
Heidi notices the panic, but she tries to soothe Sally, reaching out to try and tug her back for a hug. "Do not worry, friend Sally, the sensation is only temporary and I am certain you will feel fine tomorrow. For now it is just important to relax and enjoy the good feelings that come from it." The panic isn't taken too seriously.

Sally Houki has posed:
"No, no! You can't. You know what I... We just have to go!"

Sally pulls away from Heidi and her hug for once and instead rips open a hole in space and time with her bare hands.

No, really.

She just does it. She grasbs air -- reality actually -- and just... rips a wound in it clean open. A blank portal to... *somewhere*.

Of course, the reason she's panicing in the first place is because of what she saw in her minds eye, which is what determines *where* she ripped a portal to.

"Oh," she says after a moment.

"Oh, shit," she says, as something leans forward out of the portal she just opened in Kaminari's penthouse.

Branches slithher out, twisted and gnarled, grtabbing hold of either end of the portal in an effort to widen it. A madly grinning face attached to a tree trunk, as a literal face-plant begins to force its way through. One of its branches punctures Sally straight through the stomach, lifting her up off the ground and tossing her aside with a wet 'shunk'.

Sometimes, even an intuitive sense of the possible can't lead you anywhre good.

Sally slams into the wall in a bloody splotch and slides down it.

Then the rest of the faces made of fleshy tendrils, face-leaves really, open, streaming horrible white ichor from their many hungry maws.

Kaminari has posed:
Goddesses do not shock easily, one can imagine in the course of over two thousand years Kaminari has seen a lot, hell she has done a lot herself like consigning thousands upon thousands of invading soldiers to watery graves. She was still clearly not expecting what came next.

She blinks as Sally rends a /hole/ in reality, "That can't be good." she comments pointing at it, though still not moving from the couch just yet. Then her eyes go just a wide as Sally is impaled by something coming out of portal. "Fuck, there goes another security deposit." she sighs once the initial suprise of the moment has passed and jumps up from the couch.

For some reason Kaminari doesn't seem terribly worried about Sally's fate, maybe she really is that callous of a fickle goddess afterall. For the moment her attention is focused on the twisted and gnarled branches coming out of the portal, to which she responds as she responses to most threats. That is, by shooting lightning out of her hands at the branches.

Heidi Ingerdottir has posed:
Heidi doesn't know about security deposits. She also doesn't know why there's a portal. What she does know, however, is fighting when her friends are in danger. She goes quickly for her blade, which was propped nicely out of the way so no one would trip on it when they were hanging out, and instead brings it around to point it towards the tree-beast-creature-thing. She doesn't attack full-force, however, her sword held somewhat defensively as she makes her way in Sally's direction to make sure she's alright.

After all, how guilty would she feel if one of her friends died?!

Sally Houki has posed:
Sally sure was dead.

She was so dead. The wound in her flesh was massive, puncuted straight through her chest. The bloody splotch on the wall alone from where she slid down it is bad enough to look at as it is, let alone the obvious sucking chest wound she had. She was a goner.

... which is perhaps why it is strange that she's sitting up on the ground, blinking her eyes, covered in blood, and seeming briefly confused.

"...why is there a giant monster in your living room, Kami? WHAT DID YOU DO?"

She doesn't even sound all that horrified by it, honestly. "Heidi! You saved me with your valkyrie powers! That's AMAZING!"

Monster? You know, right there? That killed her? No problem.


"You're gonna need to, you know, push it bqack through the gap. So I can close it," explains.

In the meantime, the horrible monster is lashing out at both Kaminari and Heidi with vines made of gnarled faces and branches that emit mournful screams, alongside leaves that make terrible gnashing sounds.

The faceplant is hungry.

Kaminari has posed:
Kaminari doesn't seem to be really listening to Sally, it's almost like she knew Sally would be fine regardless. At the moment she is too busy dealing with the monster from the portal that Sally opened. The air smells of ozone as lightning crackles over the surface of Kaminari's body and bolts of searing electrical plasma arc out at the branches coming out of the portal. Ordinarily when dealing with a plant Kaminari might resort to winter storms and freeze the whole room, but that would have an adverse effect on the cupcakes and so is not an option at the moment.

Heidi Ingerdottir has posed:
"What? I'm not even a valkyrie, friend Sally!" Heidi is, quite quickly, positioning herself between the creature and Sally, doing her best to ward off any 'branches' that come her way. She slashes at them full force as she does what was suggested--tries to push it back towards the gap.

"How do you close it? Is it some kind of magic? I will say this is probably one of the grossest things I've fought and I have fought some truly gross things."

Sally Houki has posed:
Sally looks confused. "Of course you are," she tells her, "otherwise you couldn't have healed me or something. Or maybe it was Superman? He's not dead either, right?"

It was all over the news, Sally. She shrugs, then slowly gets to her feet.

It's working, in the meantime, the slash and lightning is pushing it back. The faces scream, but progress is being made in pushing them back!

But that's when they split their maws and vomit forth some kind of green, foul smelling sap, trying to gum Kami up with it. The lightning is really painful and burning.

Kaminari has posed:
How to get on Kaminari's bad side, attack her with something that is really gross. When the foul smelling sap comes flying towards her, Kaminari is having none of it. Thankfully for her she has lightning fast reflexes making her very hard to pin down. Not actually getting covered in goo however does not excuse the sin of /trying/ to cover her in goo though.

Kaminari is legitimately angry now as the lightning crackling and arcing around her intensifies. There is a crack of thunder from the rapid expansion of the air around the walking storm that is Kaminari.

Drawing her hands back before thrusting with a fierce pushing motion she summons a gale force burst of wind focused on the creature attempting to thrust it back. Which of course has the side of sweeping up all of the Penthouse furnature into a temporary whirlwind.

Heidi Ingerdottir has posed:
"I think you will possibly need some towels to cover this!" Heidi is doing her best to avoid getting close to it, so she proceeds to jump on a piece of furniture and play a game of 'the floor is lava' while she swings at the thing. Her free hand grabs a throw pillow and chucks it at the thing to see if it even reacts.

"Friend Sally, how far do we need to push it?"

Sally Houki has posed:
You know, reaping the whirlwind is kind of terrible in practice. Sally's hair lifts in the wind and gets in her eyes, but she moves forward towards the creature as it's battered, pushed back and back and back. Heidi's pillow is the finishing touch, in addition to her sword of course.

It withdraws back into the portal. No fair! They were supposed to be easy meals, right?

In any event, Sally darts forward and grabs the steams of reality and simply welds them back together like it's no big thing. No more portal.

"Owww. What was that all about? Who opened a portal?!"

She... may have forgotten it was her, but then, to be fair, she was drunk.

Kaminari has posed:
Once the portal is closed, Kaminari just turns and walks through the disarray of the tossed around furniture rummaging until she finds the large flask of Asgardian mead. Whereupon she promptly uncorks it and begins drinking. For the moment all else is ignored.

Heidi Ingerdottir has posed:
Heidi is quick to put her sword away, mostly because /friends almost died/ and that is more important. She moves over and puts her hands on Sally's shoulders, visually assessing her in almost a panicky motion. "Friend Sally, are you well!?" There was certainly blood, after all. "And why did you do that? /How/ did you do that?"

She looks horrified. "Does the mead give you /magic/?" ... is it horror though? Maybe it's less horrified and more intensely curious the more she thinks about it.

Sally Houki has posed:
"Magic?! Don't be ridiculous! I can't do magic! I'm a normal Japanese girl, not a magical girl!" Sally nods at this. "Normal people do this all the time," she adds.

Anyway, she's done with the portal and she's brushing her hands off, turning towards Heidi and moving over to give her a hug. "Thank you for saving me," she explains, even though Heidi didn't really save her.

Kaminari has seen this show before.

Kaminari has posed:
It is probably a good thirty seconds before Kaminari stops drinking from the flask of Asgardian mead and it is noticably lighter when she is done. As she brings it away from her mouth she lets out a sigh, "Be careful what I give Sally, lesson learned... though that could be kind of cool in the right situation..." Maybe lesson not so learned.

She looks back at Sally and Heidi and the chaotic mess that the penthouse has been left in. "Right, I should call housekeeping. Did the cupcakes survive?" The most important question.

Heidi Ingerdottir has posed:
Heidi would look after the state of the cupcakes, but she's /entirely/ too distracted. She's being hugged by a bloody Sally. She initially does the pat-pat motion of someone who isn't sure why they're being hugged or is just being awkward, but once she ignores the blood and the suddenness of the situation, she hugs Sally back.

"Friend Sally, you are definitely not normal... I hope you understand that." Regardless of what's being kept from her, the Asgardian is certainly well aware that Sally is quite far from normal. She glances towards Kami. "Perhaps some of the cupcakes do not have any bits of alien vicera..." She can't be sure. But Sally's not dead, so she is relieved on that part!

Sally Houki has posed:
"Sure, I am! Normal people do this all the time," says Sally, looking down at her shirt. She takes it off and throws it aside. It is blood covered, after all.

The door is knocked one and she glances towards it.

"R-room service," answers someone, meekly, when she asks who's there.

"Oh! The Milkshakes," she says, happily, and then walks towards the bathroom. She's just gonna take a shower.

Kaminari has posed:
Kaminari takes another drink from the flask because it's just one of those times before tossing it on the couch and walking towards the door opening it a crack and begins speaking to the person outside. "If you could just leave them outside for the moment that would be great. Also I need a housekeeping team up here and /discretion/. Can you do that?" she asks while slipping them what looks like a $100 bill through the door. "Great." the door is closed again.

Once they are gone and the coast is clear, Kaminari brings in the milkshakes. "Not the first time." she says with a shrug, likely referring to the state of the hotel room.

Heidi Ingerdottir has posed:
When Sally disappears to go shower, Heidi is left standing and observing the mess. She blinks a few times, going to go clean off her blade, but all in all she looks very confused as to what exactly she saw. With Sally not there, though, the Asgardian gives Kami a skeptical look.

"Did you know Sally did the... thing?" She makes a vague motion with her hands. She could be talking about /anything/.

Sally Houki has posed:
Sally Houki is singing in the shower.

She's actually not half bad.

Kaminari has posed:
Kaminari brings the previously completely forgotten milkshakes over and offers one to Heidi. "Sally can do a lot of things." she replies with a shrug taking a sip of her own milkshake, "Though that ripping holes in reality thing is new. Probably shouldn't give her any more Asgardian mead." Probably. She continues sucking on the straw of the milkshake chaser to her own Asgardian mead, "She tries to keep a low profile though, not sure exactly who or what she's hiding from," another shrug, "But I generally humor her."

Heidi Ingerdottir has posed:
"I shall keep the mead away from Sally unless absolutely necessary," Heidi agrees. What constitutes a necessity is questionable, however. She takes one of the milkshakes, then seems thoughtful. "So is she hiding this sort of thing from others... or herself? Should I pretend nothing strange happened?"

This is a complicated situation and complicated consequences are involved!

Sally Houki has posed:
The door is knocked upon just as Heidi asks her question.

When it's gotten to by her, there's... Sally on the other side! This Sally is dressed similarly and without all the blood.

She beams at Heidi and leans forward gives her a hug before heading to the bathroom without another word.

She is carrying a pink duffel bag with her.

The moment has been prepared for, you see.

Kaminari has posed:
Kaminari looks over, perhaps expecting the housekeeping team. But when it turns out to be another Sally she goes back to where she discarded the Asgardian mead and begins mixing some of that into her milkshake. "From others. Outside of her business anyway. She is quite aware of what she can do." she makes a contented expression as she drinks the now divine alcohol infused milkshake.

Heidi Ingerdottir has posed:
Heidi blinkblinks at the other Sally as she's hugged, then tilts her head as her gaze follows that Sally to the bathroom. She then looks towards Kami again. She takes a long sip of her milkshake... and then moves over to spike hers as well. "... that's her sister, right?" She has to ask now, because things are seeming /pretty/ weird.

And that mead is certainly seeming extremely appealing right now.

Sally Houki has posed:
A moment later, Sally emerges from the shower, now fully dressed in a different set of clothes. Her old ones are in the bag, sticking out of them haphazardly and covered in blood. She hardly notices.

"Okay! Sooooo... sorry about the mess?"

Kaminari has posed:
Kaminari walks over to where the couch was knocked over by her windgust and easily rights it again with one hand without really exerting herself. She then proceeds to flop down on it with her spiked milkshake, "I think Heidi has some questions." There are limits to what can be covered up afterall.

Heidi Ingerdottir has posed:
The fact that there's no direct answer to her question is telling, and Heidi slowly turns to face Sally a little bit more. "So... your sister just happened to be very close-by with some fresh clothes?" There's only so much she's going to let go by, and right now the Asgardian is crossing her arms over her chest and giving a stern look. The kind you give a dog when you know it has something in its mouth but won't spit it out. Sally's no dog--but she's certainly not spitting something out.

Sally Houki has posed:
Speaking of her sister, wher IS she anyway? She hasn't even come out of the bathroom after her.

There's a pause. Oh yeah. Heidi is here.

"...ahh..." She lets out a nervous laugh. "Yeah, well. Would you believe I texted her?"

Sally's phone dings once. It's over on the counter. Where she left it.

Earlier.

She has never had it at any time since all this went down.

There is a longer pause. "Okay, so that wasn't it," she admits.

Kaminari has posed:
Kaminari leans back into the plush cushions of couch sucking on her alcoholic milkshake. She is officially letting Sally deal with this and has checked out of the conversation.

Heidi Ingerdottir has posed:
Now Heidi's the dog--she looks a bit like a sad puppy, really. Kind of disappointed. "Friend Sally, I thought that I was someone you felt you could be open and honest with. You have my apologies if I have been closed off and not open enough to you as a person and made you feel as if you had to lie and make up stories instead of telling me the truth." She looks like a sad puppy /and/ she just apologized for Sally lying.

"I am not always sure how to be open to people on a personal level and I got hurt once when I tried and so I am doing my best to connect with my friends, with the people I care about. I just thought that you believed me to be trustworthy and I am saddened that my efforts were not enough for you."

Sally Houki has posed:
"I...Oh, Heidi, you are the best of us, easily," says Sally, sighing after a moment. "I don't like to talk about it! It's weird and," She is doing jazz hands. Really. She just jazz handed.

"It's hard to explain and most people don't understand. Even Kaminaro doesn't really understand she's, you know, SUPER old and seen EVERYTHING. But I promise I will try to explain to you, okay?"?

Kaminari has posed:
Kaminari slurps on her alcoholic milkshake when Sally calls her old. There is an arching of her brows and a slight crackle pop of electricity. The last person who called her old nearly died, though it seems Sally has a bit more leeway than a random criminal. Still for the moment Kaminari is content in her comfy spot on the couch watching Sally and Heidi talk things out.

Heidi Ingerdottir has posed:
"Friend Sally, I never asked you to explain everything. Life often defies explanation. Some people spend centuries trying to find the right thoughts or words to explain a single concept or event..." Heidi still looks a little disappointed as she gazes on Sally. "All I wanted is for you to trust me, as I trust you. Why did you feel as if you needed to lie to me? Was I not clear in my dedication as a friend?"

Sally Houki has posed:
"I mean, no. You were. I suppose it was unfair to you, Heidi. I'm sorry. I just have learned to be extremely cautious about things because people try to take advantage sometimes, and it's a hard habit to break even in the face of someone who manifestly deserves better."

Sally sharpens her attention on Heidi, now. "I'll tell you everything, pinky swear." She's pulled it together. "And then you can decide what it means for you."

Kaminari has posed:
Sluuuuuuuuuuurp goes Kaminari's alcoholic milkshake as she's getting to the bottom of it. Oh right she's still here.

Heidi Ingerdottir has posed:
Heidi doesn't know what a pinky swear is, but she seems to be in agreement. She nods enthusiastically. "Right, as long as you are alright, friend Sally. I merely want to be sure you are well and safe." She doesn't entirely know what 'everything' is in this case, but it seems like Sally's comfortable with things. "So no more lies?"

Sally Houki has posed:
"Okay," says Sally, glancing towards Kaminari.

"Hey, sorry aobut the mess. I'm not sure what came over me." She doesn't even remember the booze at this point. Or, more accurately, she has no idea what was in the booze.

Kaminari shrugs setting aside her finished milkshake and glancing towards the door, "Hardly the first time I've destroyed a hotel suite. High end places like this won't ask questions provided you pay extra, not even about the blood splatter." She pushes herself off of the couch rising to her feet, "Anyway we should probably get out of here for awhile and let them fix up the room." The poor cleaning staff.

Heidi Ingerdottir has posed:
"Oh, yes, cleaning up." Heidi looks at her milkshake, then goes back to sipping it. It's a good distraction. "Okay. Uh. Yeah. It would be good to leave and come back with all that gone." She's glad she's not the one cleaning up after this.
