[nospaces] [attr="class","back-thing2"] [attr="class","app-title"]nagiko,quilliam [attr="class","sub-thing2"] [attr="class","sub-text2"]Physical Description  [attr="class","temp-text2"]EXT. CHARLES'S PUB, PAVANE SLUMS, NIGHT [break]An argent haired girl of medium height, some 170 cm, leans near the bar's wooden door. She watches with crystal blue eyes, adorned with dark bags beneath, the ragged vampires enter, shivering. The GIRL straightens her white parka, spits out the piece of candy she had been chewing on, and follows them in. The black woolen watch cap nearly slips off of her head, but is caught by the purple metal star she keeps on her head as a hair ornament. [break] The girl sits at the same table as them, placing her coat on the back of her chair. She is wearing a black knit, sleeveless. [break] GIRL [break] If none of you'll have anything; what say we get started? [break]The first vampire nods, quietly coughing beneath their cloak. Girl presents two pieces of candy upon the table, one for each of her guests. [break] VAMPIRE 2 [break] This surely isn't all!

[break][break] [attr="class","sub-thing2"] [attr="class","sub-text2"]Personality  [attr="class","temp-text2"]Girl, unamused, stares blankly at vampire the second. She turns to the other one. [break] GIRL [break] I do have other matters to tend to, despite how I may appear—should I take my leave? [break] VAMPIRE 1 [break] (panicked) No! No, please stay. My companion is not well-versed with what you do for us. You're very kind to have seen us at all. [break] VAMPIRE 2 [break] (at the behest of their friend) Sorry, miss, very kind, very kind of you indeed. [break] GIRL [break] It is not as you say. Not in the slightest. Do you have my payment? [break] VAMPIRE 1 [break] Yes, yes. Right here. (Grins shakily.) It looks to be in order, yes? We're only F-rank so this is all we could put together, you see... [break] GIRL [break] (intrigued) Keep half, ask no questions of me. [break]The two vampires look at one another for a moment but remain silent. GIRL stares at the candies on the table. [break]She unwraps a piece for herself and puts it in her mouth, resulting in a faint smile. [break] GIRL [break] It's done. [break]Quickly snatched from the table, both candies are devoured with haste by the former demons. [break]VAMPIRE 2 looks around for anyone that might notice them, and dashes out of the bar. [break]No reaction from GIRL. She loudly crunches down upon the lollipop in her mouth, expression unchanging. [break] VAMPIRE 1 [break] Thank you! Really, you've saved us! [break]She closes her eyes and does not look at the grateful client. [break] GIRL [break] Leave me. You'll not keep half, rather you'll bring triple, should you need my assistance again. Use the back door, not the front. Your friend has likely been shackled up by now. [break]The remaining guest hastily exits as recommended. Nearly avoiding a collision with the recent departure is a white-haired FAERIE dressed in warm clothes. She has with her a little gift bag. [break] FAERIE [break] Your friends, I'm guessing? [break] GIRL [break] (bluntly) Not at all. Merely clients who've taken a part of the same poison I have. Perhaps that does make them friends. [break]The FAERIE laughs lightly and worriedly, setting down the bag on the table. [break] FAERIE [break] Will you ever let me try one of those candies people always buy from you so readily? They must be quite tasty, no? [break] GIRL [break] You're not allowed to have one, no. [break] FAERIE [break] Well, that's no fun. In any case, wouldn't you like to take a guess at what I have here for you? [break] GIRL [break] I think I have an appointment elsewhere, actually. [break] FAERIE [break] Come now, guess, won't you, for me even? [break]The GIRL's furrowed brow almost immediately softens perhaps out of appreciation for the gift, and returns to her usual blank stare. [break] GIRL [break] Some kind of candy perchance? My usual deliveries differ in packaging... [break] FAERIE [break] You really must raise yourself from this eternal torpor, dear Nagiko. But yes, perceptive as always. Peach drops! [break]NAGIKO examines the bright little candies. The FAERIE also presents freshly-picked Atropa belladonna berries. [break] NAGIKO [break] (scowling) You've gifted me sweets that resemble hardly nightshade berries? The very reason I bother mixing them up is so that the clients still think themselves to be eating nightshade berries. [break]The FAERIE grits her teeth, clearly not expecting such a reaction. [break] FAERIE [break] I simply imagined that, knowing well how your sensory magicks operate, were the finished products to not resemble the belladonna berries, the magicks would still be at their maximum. I cannot imagine why the changed color would matter. [break] NAGIKO [break] (barely keeping from collapsing) You don't know... anything. I... I must depart for now. If you would let me, I will take my leave, Miss Joseon. [break][break] [attr="class","sub-thing2"] [attr="class","sub-text2"]History and Relations  [attr="class","temp-text2"]EXT. BENEATH A TREE MARKING THE ENTRANCE TO THE ELVEN RESIDENCES [break]A gaggle of technological advisers stroll by her, but one recognises NAGIKO and hurries them to move away. The ornate tin of peach drops no longer in her possession, sold to a passing engineer for barely anything, exists as a few coins now. These coins she had dropped in the empty stein of a decrepit grey-haired halfling sleeping on the road along her way back. NAGIKO bites her lips as she holds a berry but a few centimeters from her mouth. Quickly, she eats it, her eyes fly wide open, and the colours of the environment around her begin to dance. Whatever initial taste the berries had is wiped out by an impossible sweetness that fades all too quickly. Handful by handful, the berries vanish. And once they are all consumed, she unwraps a black cherry lollipop of her own creation, but an inadequate stopgap, and puts it in her mouth. Numbing sweetness, both longer-lasting and less potent due to its candied form, causes her to all but pass out then and there. [break] Council Archivist (Voice-over) [break] The no-good, the failures, the departures, and the bad eggs, all categories she felt some connection too and would have been a part of, had she not been born with such potent sensory magicks. Business, money thrown at her rather, sufficed. Ineffectual vampires, ghouls under impressive levels of denial and restraint, and the bored bourgeoisie formed her small though loyal clientele. Her magick was too good, able to fool on an unprecedented cellular level, appointments frequently re-opened and quantities desired heftily raised. Soon enough, some bright individuals among her CISD colleagues began pondering about how her sensory illusions could work in reverse, proposing all sorts of gaudy sums for what they claimed to be simple jobs, mere pokes at power. With this, NAGIKO withdrew from her position as an engineer and started living on the streets of Lower Pavane. Naturally, they took this to mean the confirmation of their theories when, in actuality, it was the dreadful realisation made by NAGIKO that the immunity to poisonous items, the most dangerous ones available selected for the pure flavour potential they had over usual foods, she conjured for herself and her customers actually lasted so long as she drew breath; were she to perish or otherwise cease subconsciously casting her magicks, any being who'd ever partaken of her products would quickly collapse, toxins previously dormant coursing through their veins. A stricken vampire convinced her of the good her magick could perform yet, and NAGIKO obliged, fooling the vampire's innards with hemlock offered as the most sumptuous of plasma. Blending in with walls whenever sought by either former clients or would-be new ones, let alone authorities, she now sells her magicks only to desperate vampires and herself these days.

[attr="class","back-thing"] [attr="class","temp-title"]Welcome to Pavane! [attr="class","temp-text"]Nagiko is going to be a really cool addition to Pavane! I'm sure many a psychotic character on this site will be attracted to her. I wonder where I can get those candies...
