[u]Then why don't you come inside?[/u]
-
"Inside where? There is nowhere for me," She replies. Thunder crackles again. The lightning striking her, and she infused herself with it...

Edited by Skatch142: 1/25/2017 3:54:00 AM[u]You're on top of an apartment building, and how do you think I got up here? I live a few floors down. And by the way, my name is Sphan'Iri, but everyone calls me Sapphire.[/u]
-
"Sapphire. Pretty name. Makes a good alias. Better than my name."
-
[u]It's not really an alias. People just find pronouncing double names hard despite it being common on Sphirinia... What's your real name?[/u]
-
"You act like you'll find it out quickly. I won't allow that."
-
[u]And I thought [i]I[/i] was an unfriendly person... Don't call your name bad if you're going to make someone work to hear it... Now are you going to come to my apartment or not?[/u]
-
"Fine. I'll go to your apartment."
-
[u]Alright, come on.[/u] *She says, waiting for Splash to stand up and turn around.*
-
The lightning that she had infused herself with had faded. She stood up, and followed Sapphire.
-
*When she turned around she saw a 6'4" tall woman sanding a short ways behind her. The strange part though was that she appeared to be a bipedal white tiger. She wore only a slate tank top and tan shorts. Standing next to her was a 3' tall featureless humanoid creature covered in a mixture of white fur with black stripes and brown fur, like a fox.*
-
"Huh?" She asked, "What are you?"
-
*The featureless creature carves strange symbols into its chest as if it was made of gelatin. She seems to read them before looking back up and speaking.* [u]Heh, most people either run or seem really confused when they first see me or my cousins. I'm a Sphirinian, specifically a white tiger Sphirinian.[/u]
-
"How'd you get to Dojo?"
-
[u]I came here on a ship with the intent of us finding my cousin, Sketch, and forcing him to come back to Sphirinia... That backfired and I was left behind.[/u]
-
"I've been left behind and cast away many times."
-
[u]Well I'm not letting that happen again. Come inside.[/u] *She says, opening the door to the apartment building and motioning for her to enter.*
-
She follows Sapphire, taking note the architecture and the available exits.
-
*She leads Splash down a few flights of stairs before leading her down a hallway and to a door.* [u]Now, be very quiet... My daughter is sleeping in the bedroom...[/u] *She says before opening the door to the living room and stepping in.*
-
"Daughter?" She whispered.
-
[u]Well, not biologically... Adopted... She was the little sister of a friend before he was murdered... She's only six years old... Her name's Mari.[/u]
-
"Aww. Tragic story and she sounds cuuute."
-
[u]She is... Keep your voice down...[/u] *She opens the door to the bedroom very quietly. Cuddled up under the covers on the bed is a small sleeping werefox. Sapphire smiles a little as she looks at Mari before closing the door again.*
-
"I'll crash on the couch," She whispers. She wanders into the living room and falls asleep on the couch.
-
[u]Well that was fast...[/u] *She shrugs, walking back into the bedroom and closing the door behind her.* [spoiler]Timeskip till morning?[/spoiler]
