Actually… Why did the man seem to be about 20 feet tall or something? And the building was gigantic . Lyla glanced down at herself, finally noticing that she was shivering from the chill wind. She seemed largely the same, albeit sans clothing, so why was everything else so different?

That is, until her hair pooled around her face, shining a bright blue. Well, it definitely hadn’t been blue previously. Maybe she got black out and dyed her hair? It wouldn’t be the first time something similar happened, but the last time had been with some friends before she was legally allowed to drink. She tended to be more responsible these days.

She went to stretch her sore muscles (why were they sore?) and noticed a slight fluttering. The wind must have picked up. But the few decorative trees across the street weren’t fluttering, and as she continued to stretch, she kicked herself up off the ground.

What the fuck? she thought, hovering above the ground. From this angle, she could see a body lying inside the convenience store. The face was partially obscured, but she would still recognize the outfit anywhere. It was the one she had remembered wearing before she fell asleep. She also finally noticed that everything seemed so big because she was so small. She couldn’t have been more than half a foot tall. And what was that godawful fluttering?

As she turned to see if someone was behind her, she noticed a flash of iridescence. It moved with her. She had wings, she surmised. As she focused back on the glass of the store, she finally noticed her reflection. Or rather, noticed a reflection, as it was hardly herself.

Confused and still somewhat groggy, Lyla flitted away from the store, away from her phone, away from her body.

Fuck this.

Ivy grabbed the key to the motel room and some of the cash she'd taken from her apartment, stuffing them into her pockets as she headed out the door. Staying in that cramped room with the goddamn mirror-ceiling one more minute was going to drive her insane - or at least more insane than she already felt she was going. She almost slammed the door behind her before remembering her sudden boost of strength, instead opting to close it more gently less she end up shattering it.

She jammed her hands in her jacket pockets and stormed down the exterior hallway, nearly knocking over a guy who was heading to one of the rooms with what the woman could only assume was a hooker. They managed to move aside right before she walked through them but clearly some offense was taken as the guy threw some choice curse words after her, maybe in a poor attempt to save face with his 'date' for the night. Ivy grit her teeth at the insults, a ball of rage bubbling under the surface, but managed to keep herself from turning back and feeding the guy his own teeth.

Instead she crossed through the parking lot and onto the street opposite, making her way down one of the many streets that stayed busy even at this late hour. New York truly was the city that never slept. She didn't know where she was going, but the fresh air cooled a little of that simmering fury in her gut - for now that was good enough, she could figure out her destination once she'd cooled off a little more.

She'd always had some anger issues but since waking up it was like she was on a hair trigger, every annoyance or slight, big or small, just made the rage bubble stronger and felt as though it filled her with new waves of energy. Maybe that was just the trauma of having died, or maybe it was the new body and weird strength, or maybe all of the above. Because really, there was no 'just' involved in this whole fucking mess.

Adria exploded up out of the storm drain with a furor, and she breathed her first breath for the second time. Hallelujah.

Truly her prayers had been answered. All the pain had gone away. Struck down was the agony of water-logged lungs and empty screams of a spiraling castaway in a labyrinthine coffin. A smile graced her appreciative face as she fell to her knees and kissed the street she'd landed on. She kept this up for several minutes, sobbing graciously for her lord's mercy.

It was only when she finally stood that it all began to sink in... the subtle differences in her perception. She felt much lighter on her feet, more loose, and perhaps a little taller. Was it just a dream-like stupor shadowing the nightmare? She didn't know. Yet certainly enough something was very different.

Long, straight hair billowed in the wind, darker than the rolling ocean waves on a moonless night. Her body was long and lithe and pale as death. Was this really her? ...And where were her clothes?!

A sharp "Eep!" escaped her mouth in an unfamiliar voice as she rushed to cover herself, suddenly becoming all too aware of her surroundings. Being caught in such a scandalous situation was surely worse than the death she'd just suffered. Adria's eyes darted around for some place to hide, but she was on an unfamiliar street, and none of the shady alleys felt like a safer bet than the halo of the streetlight she was currently beneath.

Yet soon, even that began to fade. The light dimmed, and the spotlight quickly started shrinking. Adria let out a short scream as the shadows closed in and engulfed her. The darkness its self swirled around her, swallowing her up and then-

...it solidified as a flowing jacket, darker than the night its self, and complete with a pointed hood. Adria whispered another "Thank you!" to her savior, and scampered off down the street in a daze, clutching the jacket tightly around herself.

Moving to NYC had probably been a mistake in hindsight. Four years in this city that she'd been convinced she could handle, intent on living away from her family in the famous big apple - with hopes and dreams that she could make it and find herself a good living.

Ivy snorted at her own inner thoughts. Yeah, that'd turned out real fucking well. Working as a waitress, retail assistant and a bartender over four years - all but the last getting canned because of that temper she'd never got under proper control. Hell, it'd been working in her favour for the bartending - manager told her to not take any shit, so she didn't. Maybe that'd had something to do with how that sick freak had scouted her out? Or had it been random chance?

Fuck. That was just getting her blood boiling again. She broke off from the main street when she felt her hand curling into a fist, turning into an alley and quickening her pace to get out of sight of the various pedestrians. She stepped into the maze of alleyways and let out a low scream of wordless frustration, lashing her foot out at the nearest dumpster - which was promptly sent crashing into the wall of the building 20' away from where it'd just been, the cacophony of noise startling the woman enough to drown out the anger.

" Shit, " She muttered, quickly making her way further into the maze of alleys before anyone could come by and see what the fuck that noise was. She'd broken that side table back at the motel room, but that? That was nuts! The dumpster had rocketed across the alley, it'd even left the fucking ground! And the dent her foot had made, let alone the impact with the wall nearly collapsing it in on itself?

None of this was normal, but god damn, THAT was some serious power. It was impossible power, yet there it was.

...Maybe she could cool her head by figuring out just how much she could throw around like that? I am Inferi.

Robin
~

It was almost an hour to midnight when Robin came to.

He recalled going out to the convenience store as usual, when he saw a highschool aged girl texting into her cellphone right in the path of a truck. It was all too cliche, really. Robin's body moved almost on instinct - he pushed the girl away, and... and...

In that instant, someone was screaming. And then the truck struck --

" I probably died, huh? "

Yeah, there was no way Robin survived that.
No way he could make a sound.
Plus there's no pain.
Yet, it felt so real.

It was all too strange, so Robin opened his eyes to examine his wounds. He looks down at his hands. There were no hands to be found. Not even feet. Those are forefeet.

huh.

" HUH?! " Robin exclaimed. Taken aback, he took a quick glance at his body. Although he couldn't yet get a good look at his face, he guessed he was some kind of weird mutant dog or something. The sort of creature with four legs, glimmering white fur, and two waggly tails.

No creature Robin had ever heard of - wait, that wasn't important right now! What would Robin do now?

" BARK! " a creature cried, interrupting Robin's panicked thoughts abruptly. A repose, enough time to make sense of what he heard. Oh, someone was just walking their dog, no biggie, these things happen all the time -

" BARK! BARKBARKBARK! " The bloodcurdling cry continued. A bout of uncontrollable fear drove one feet forward one after the other. It didn't matter where Robin went - so long as it was away from here!

Terror is what drives Titty onwards, dispelling her embarrassment at being...Well, without clothing. Despite the surprises cries and chattering as she flees through the streets of New York, the crowds still as thick as ever despite the late hour.

A dark alleyway catches her attention and she veers off the pavement to throw herself into the alleyway. Out of sight. Has anyone followed her? She does not know. She huddles behind a dumpster, her chest heaving with ragged breaths. She presses herself against the wall, hiding herself as best she can - though the sheer vibrancy of her hair and skin is hard to hide.

Moments pass. Minutes pass. Finally, it seems no-one has followed her. She slowly begins to relax. But that is her mistake.

First, her heartbeat does not stop pounding. Her stomach feels like thousands of butterflies have burst free and are trying to escape her body, and the nausea becomes worse. Her breathing quickens to hyperventilation, and she huddles in the corner, desperately trying to gain control over her panicked gasps as tears spill over her cheeks.

Name: Kathy
Age: 19
Gender: Female

Race: Ghoul

Race Description: Ghouls are undead creatures with an unnatural fixation on particular sources of sustenance. So long as they are 'feasting' upon this substance, they retain a regular physical appearance and ability to a normal human. It is only when they are deprived of their source of desire where things begin to get ugly - the world about them begins to fragment as reality itself begins to reflect the inner turmoil and pain of the ghoul.

In the case of Kathy, her 'food source' is happiness. So long as she is kept elated, life is good.

Appearance: Kathy is five foot five, with brown skin and white-dyed hair which goes down to just above the base of the neck, and looks somewhat triangular when seen from the front. She has a full fringe and opalescent eyes - a feature she woke up with after her awakening. She also has a nose ring going through her right nostril.

Clothing: Kathy wears large black boots that reach to just under her knee joints, and a black miniskirt. On her torso she has a grey vest, airy as though meant for exercising, over which she wears a long cardigan the same white as her hair that stretches down to her knees.

Short History: Kathy's death was from blunt force impact with the ground, and she's been happy ever since. Hags be hagglin', gods be god damn crazy, it's all happening ogre at Into The Fire

Lyla flitted around the block aimlessly. Whatthefuckwhatthefuckwhatthefuck. What. The. Fuck. Flying took some getting used to. Well, okay, every-fucking-thing was taking some getting used to. Flying, obviously, took some rebalancing from the walking she had done for the majority of her life. Well, was it the majority anymore? She definitely died, right? And this was a new life? So if all that was true, then she hadn’t walked for most of her life. Just for most of her memories.

Her thoughts rattled around in her head, as jarring as the gusts of wind that would shift her flight off-balance. As she rounded the corner, a flash blurred past her. It was another woman streaking through the streets. It forced Lyla out of her reverie, and very nearly caused her to spin out midflight. A couple quick shifts in balance later, and Lyla was racing after the girl.

The girl ducked into an alley, and the small pixie followed. The girl was clearly trying to hide, but Lyla was so small it was easy to miss her. The small fae could tell something was different about this girl, as her proportions were just different enough to register as strange. Not to mention she wasn’t wearing clothes. That’s always fairly noticeable. Lyla sighed at her own nudity.

Then the girl started crying. Something in Lyla swelled at the sight of the tears. Obviously, she was empathetic to the girl. Lyla just wanted to cry as well. But the sight of the tears specifically called out to the young pixie.

She ignored this feeling and alighted on the ground near the strange girl.

“Um… Hello…” she whispered, not sure what else to say. She wasn’t in the habit of introducing herself to strangers in alleyways, and less so while being six inches tall.

With a rush of wind, Kathy awoke.

Sounds were around her, above her, somewhere. Loud, persistent. Cars driving by, horns sounding. The hustle and bustle of the city. Kathy frowned. It seemed familiar, she remembered it all rushing towards her. Cold brickwork or metal was under her. Kathy opened her eyes to the darkness and felt about with her hands - a staircase. Looking up, she realised she had fallen into a portal into the subway.

Kathy remembered. She remembered what she had done, what she had intended to do. She felt fine, unreasonably so. She stood up, taking tentative steps towards the top of the staircase and into the street. There were passerbys, still plentiful in the late evening. Cars passed by in a blur, obscuring the large crowd huddled at the bottom of a tall building across the road. A cold breeze passed by, tensing up Kathy's arms, her thighs. Why?

Looking down, Kathy realised that she had no clothes on. Looking up, she observed everything going on around her. This was absurd - absolutely absurd! She smiled, tried to suppress it. But she couldn't. She coughed out a chuckle, flexing her hands to keep her composure. But she couldn't. This was just too damn funny.

Lifting her head back to the night sky, nude as the day she was born, Kathy burst out into laughter in the middle of New York. Hags be hagglin', gods be god damn crazy, it's all happening ogre at Into The Fire

"Um....Hello...."

Though the words reached the sobbing Titty's ears, it took a moment to register that someone had spoken. She tries to force herself to calm instantly, but alas....She still sobs as she peers out into the darkness, searching for whoever had spoken.

But no-one was there.

This time, she manages to calm herself a little out of confusion, and rubs at her eyes before peering again all around herself, until finally she catches sight of the girl. The....Very, very tiny blue-haired girl. Titty blinks. Nope. She is still there. The pale haired young woman looks around, uncertain what to do with this tiny being. Another quiet, but dry sob - almost like a hiccup. I'm losing my mind. I must be. This is a hallucination. Have I been drugged? She wonders in a daze.
