So... just to relieve some boredom:

Has anyone ever had some kind of fictional "creature" turn out to be real for you? Vampires, yetis, ghosts, whatever. Something that was purely fiction for you until some point or another, or that Mulder and Scully would crap themselves over. How accurate are they to the stories, if so?

I'll go first. I know I talked about this already, but... zombies? Used to be a pure movie-and-video-game thing for me. Dawn of the Dead, 28 Days Later sort of shit. Then they turned out to be real. Mine aren't undead, but they DO mutate, which is kind of bullshit.

Zombie bullshit.

[that's zoey's line but ok rochelle]

"Aliens" is cheating, for the record, but only because we're all going through that right now.

And, uh... if you are a vampire, yeti, ghost, or whatever? That's cool too.

[slowly, she's accepting that these are Real Things she has to consider too]

I'll be real, I was just barely used to the zombie thing by the time I got here. But I'm getting used to the other stuff... a little.

We're born and grow up just as mortals do. [ Though maybe with some extra weird stuff going on. ] Though we stop aging at some point.

I grew up in Sicily.

[axemeaquestion]

Oh.

[Well. That explains a little.]a

I guess that makes since. I never been, but I don't think Sicily gets much snow.

[ragingnature]

It certainly didn't get any during my nineteen years living there.

I do like the snow despite how cold it is, though. It's very beautiful.

[axemeaquestion]

Yeah... it's nice. Pain in the ass to drive and walk in, but it's at least nice to look at.

[There's a pause.]

And if you're the goddess of spring, I'm guessing you can't exactly... conjure up snow, either.

[Meaning: she's easing into the "goddess" thing.]

[ragingnature]

Yeah, everything was really slippery when it snowed here.

[ She shakes her head. ]

I can only conjure up flowers and other plants.

[axemeaquestion]

Can I... see?

[oh my god Ro you can't just ask people to prove that their gods]

[ragingnature]

Sure. [ She smiles and holds out a hand after a moment a white rose forms in it. She's not going to mention that even a flower nymph could do something as simple as this. ]

How's that?

[axemeaquestion]

Damn.

[She blinks a couple times.]

That's... pretty good.

[Something like that?? Not that it's BAD. "I think I believe it now" just didn't seem like the right phrase.]

[ragingnature]

Thanks.

[ She moves off screen to put the rose in some water before returning. ]

I could do a lot more but smaller things like that don't take a lot of Chroma. So it's much easier.

[axemeaquestion]

Makes sense... I think.

[Prismatica is weird.]

Pretty, though.

[ragingnature]

I prefer to do things by hand though. It helps me understand mor-- humans better.
