Ask a question to the above person's OC

The harpy shyly stepped from talon to talon. "Uh...If you don't mind telling me, do you know why your freckles glow? Is it a bioluminescence gene, a change in your chemistry, maybe a-" She stutters off from her wild train of thoughts, looking nervous. "I'm sorry, I don't mean to intrude..."

------------------

She smiles at the first question, a little embarrassed. "Oh, uh, when I was around four or five I found some bubble wrap in the attic, and had the time of my little life with it. My mother and father had been taking a nap when all of a sudden they start hearing odd noises from the attic. My mother rushed up the stairs screaming to find me covered in bubble wrap, supposedly making a dress out of the stuff. My father who had trailed behind, smiled, and tousled my hair, and gave me the said nickname." 

But as she addresses the second question, her smile falters. "My house caught on fire one winter's day, when I was little.." Her eyes go misty, lost in the past. "We were all okay, except for my father, who had taken some severe burns trying to get me out of the playroom. I-i..can still remember the way the flames lapped the walls, and due to the smoke, I felt like my lungs were on fire as well. My father burst through the door, and threw me out into the snow, where my mother would be able to take care of me. He couldn't fit through such a small window himself though, and we-we had to wait for h-help." Tears start to brim in her eyes and she wipes them away frantically. "I never felt...so helpless..." She rubs her wings, looking up again, and says quickly, "But we were all okay, so I guess my fear is sort of stupid..."

Ooc - How did you get into egg carving?

_{Oh shit this one might take some time to answer}

(OOC) Where did your name and the collar come from? Also, how do you create or manifest the other plane of existence where your games are held?

Aethea rubbed the back of her neck and hesitantly sighed. "As bad as it sounds, while I do have some moral limits, we don't have any set-in-stone limits or 'lines' that people cannot come to us for."

"To further my explanation, I'll first start off with the fact that we will not immediately accept or deny a job during the first initial contract inquiry from the client. Say, a kid comes up to us and wants us to take out a teacher that flunked him. Sounds ridiculous, but regardless, we will tell the kid they will hear from us in some way or another within the next 24 hours. We'll take into consideration how much the client will pay, how hard it might be to carry out, physically, what barriers stand in our way, the location distance from our base, and how much money we have already made that month. While the base/apartment I  rent out for us is a rather modest size, the price isn't cheap due to it being in such a largely populated area that is near many other locations. If we feel we have made enough to be able to pass on the job that we necessarily don't want to take on, we will let the client know that we would be unable to perform the job due to an obstacle. If we are pinched on money, we'll take it, although begrudgingly. If it's a quick hit like on one person who will have no guards, only one of us will actually perform the deed while the other is there in case something goes wrong. If the job is more of like taking out a CEO, both of us will be there to carry out the job to make sure it goes well. If I feel that I personally cannot take on a job after we have already told the client we would take it, Jarred will carry it out while I stand by and stay ready incase I absolutely need to intervene, and vice versa."

"Do you really get that easily flustered?" He tilts his head curiously then decides to test it out. "You're beautiful." Smiling warmly, he adds, "How old are you? And what are your favorite things to write about?"

"My neighbors are fine people; kind. I don't like venturing out of the house often, though, so I don't usually talk to them or ask them to come inside. My lover's job requires him around the neighborhood, so he tends to be their center of attention. Because of that they've invited us to their houses plenty of times, but I always decline."

(OOC) What do you think of your neighbors? Have you allowed them into your house? Ever been invited to theirs?

"It's... Actually a lot more complex than just training for it... The common knowledge is that you have to be born as one, and some are, but others had to sacrifice something greater to become one. 

In my case, I did train for it, but not every witch does necessarily, it was just what I was taught to do... It's more complicated than the usual. Or, well, I don't know what's the usual for the others, I just know they're not supposed to remember it. In a way, I didn't choose this, I was shoved into it, but I just went along. It's not like I had a choice, unfortunately."

"Is there any special reason as to why you are so interested in.. Physical pleasure? Especially such violent methods."

"Well there's different things I would be able to do with it. I could swallow it and gain any abilities that soul may have had, I could use it in a variety of spells depending on how powerful it is, or I could dress it up and give it away as a gift. I don't do it often though, as it takes a lot of my strength to do so."

(OOC) Do you have any uses for a soul after you take it out of a person's body?

"I know it looks like that, but we're more alike than what meets the eye. Maybe I have more control over how I react, but I believe I don't have to take responsibility for her all the time. Sometimes, yeah, but she really tries her best to apologize and make things right. It's not something I have to tell her to do... At least not always. Sometimes I have to remind her to do it, it's just... Something I help her with. The same as she helps me to remember that sometimes you have to react to what people do to you.

... Though I do believe she's a little bit dependant on me... But that must change, one way or another."

"You seem to me a reserved, gentle soul, while your sister seems quite the opposite. Do you ever feel responsible for her public outbursts? How do they effect your relationship with her?"

"So you're a, uh.... Feather golem? Interesting. The not dying thing must be a perk, but... what about food? What's the point of living for that long if you can't eat? I suppose my question to you would be, if you were given the option to, say, exchange your immortality for a mortal body able to eat, drink, whatever you wish... would you do it?"

"Not really. Sometimes, there's bits and pieces that come through. Mostly just a sense of deja-vu on occasion, or a feeling like I've done something before, even though I don't remember ever doing it. It's not very pleasant. I'd rather all of that time stay back then, thank you."

"I know you don't think anything in your life before the cave was important, but do you remember anything at all from that time?"

"I can stay out of the water, but I don't like to. It's comforting to me, and it's where I get my job done the best."

(OOC) Do you need to be in the water? If so, for how long can you be out of it? What happens to you if you do stay out of it too long?

She laughs as she scratches the back of her neck. "Maybe a couple centuries before I'd have to keep a lower profile- not everyone was a fan of witches at that time, but now a lot of things have changed! There's the community of witches who make sure no one steps over the line. Still, I wasn't around for that era, actually... So I've never had to face any kind of backlash from that. I'm rather human passing at first glance so in my first days I could adapt to my town's society very well. Even if I wasn't, it wouldn't have been such a big deal. There are lots of witches around- not exactly chemical witches, but still, lots of us."
