[Syeira is both new to the fleet and new to the ship. She explores, and by that, she opens every door that isn't locked at some point, just getting her bearings. She'll end up in the Armory at some point (congratz Redfish, you have one now, thanks to her timely abduction) and spends some time frowning slightly at things that are not swords, or bows, or any kind of normal weapon.

She's also a chronic insomniac due to nightmares. Anyone who's trying to sleep the same time she is, might hear her thrashing, or talking in her sleep, or she might just wake you up at the end of a nightmare, by screaming a little.

[they've actually had an armory for some time, thanks to Zhas being the first resident security officer... which is why he's confused when a new, unfamiliar presence is coming from the tiny weapons room. he's on-guard, of course, but pauses in the doorway.

and for whatever reason he... stares at her. his eyes have this dim orange glow to them, in the low light of the hall. he's also painted his face to look like a human skull, which really doesn't do much to make him appear people-friendly. he's got a dark wool coat on. looks heavy.

so... uh. hello. this is Zhas, your crewmate.]

[She's a little surprised by him. Not by his appearance or anything, they grow them way way weirder on Toril. But definitely by his suddenly being in the doorway she was going to go out of.

He stares at her, she stares up at him, noting he's taller than she is, but not towering. She lets the silence go one for maybe 30 seconds. Long enough to be certain he's not planning on saying anything and also probably not moving. So, the ice breaking is on her.

Hello. I'm Syeira. I just got [dumped] placed here.

[hearing her talk seems to take the edge off of his guard, but not by much. he still watches her, looking over her clothes, her face. he can feel the effects of her enchantments working on him, and he doesn't much like it.

he finally walks closer, but it's... absolutely so that he can smell the air. near her face. which is not typically a thing that humans do.]
child_of_bhaal: (ummm)

[personal profile] child_of_bhaal 2015-04-07 06:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ummm.... She doesn't back up, but she does lean her head back a little bit, because this is weird.]

I hope you're not thinking of eating me. I'm really against that, just so you know.

[he actually backs up a little, shaking his head. his face never changes much, but his irritated look is leaning more towards disgusted now.

ugh... but implying she's a prey animal and not the predator goes a long way. he finally decides to say something, in exactly the creepy, deep, gravelly monotone you would expect.]


What are you.
child_of_bhaal: (a little noble)

[personal profile] child_of_bhaal 2015-04-07 07:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[Every living thing can be prey. Big or small, weak or powerful, it's a simple fact. She's not ashamed of it.

His demand has her tilting her head, considering him. Whatever she sees makes her decide for straight honesty, without gentle preliminaries.

I'm what's called a bhaalspawn; a child of a god of death, of murder.

[well, that sounds like something he should stab in the face.

but he's spent a lot of time getting used to odd people here, and her saying this head-on is much more assuring than her trying to dance around the subject, so he just crosses his arms and looks like he expects a little more explanation than that.]
child_of_bhaal: (okay then)

[personal profile] child_of_bhaal 2015-04-07 10:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[She gets that reaction a lot, about the stabbing in the face, though her face is devoid of stab marks.

She reads his stance and his expectant look and only sighs a little.
]

A little over twenty years ago, Bhaal the god of Murder foresaw his own death. To circumvent that, he went to the mortal world and begat a score of mortal progeny. Their intended purpose was to be the fuel of his resurrection. When we die, our essence joins with his, and once we are all gone, he shall be revived. That's the prophesy anyway, in a nutshell.

[so he... shouldn't stab her in the face... it's not that he finds it hard to believe, after everything he's seen around here. it's just that he finds it hard to put it anywhere on his moral spectrum, or his belief of how the world works.

so his eyes narrow while he thinks. beings formed of death only bring more death, but what of a creature who's flesh and blood and living?]


What do you do.

[that'll have to settle it. nevermind that the question is... vague, and didn't sound much like a question with his lack of tone.]
child_of_bhaal: (a little noble)

[personal profile] child_of_bhaal 2015-04-07 11:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sadly, he isn't wrong. Death surrounds her, proceeds and follows in her wake. She may not like it, but she can't deny it.]

I try to help people.

[It's clear, certain, sincere. Because that's what she does. She tries to help.]

[oh... okay.

he punches her in the arm.]
child_of_bhaal: (oh)

[personal profile] child_of_bhaal 2015-04-07 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[She was not expecting that. At all. And getting punched in a chain shirt hurts ok. When he hits her arm, there's a pretty, almost serene, but random chiming sound.]

Ow! Hey! The hell was that for?

[She instinctively holds her arm with the opposite hand over the spot he punched, and now she takes a step back. Because if he's going to beat on her, she's going to need room to fight back.]

[It wasn't a terribly loud scream. More abrupt, strangled and quickly cut off. She's done this enough that she wakes up fast enough to not be too disruptive to other people.

She can also see decently. Not great. Her infravision helps her to see better than most, if there's even a little light to go by, so she can see Nunnally searching for her.
]

No, I'm- [She clears her scratchy throat.] I'm fine. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to wake you.
child_of_bhaal: (Syeira)

[personal profile] child_of_bhaal 2015-04-09 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
[She can hear the kind, white lie for what it is, and smiles a little, without joy.]

I'm probably not going to be making that any easier.
child_of_bhaal: (okay then)

[personal profile] child_of_bhaal 2015-04-09 04:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[Being alone after a nightmare is the last thing she wants.]

No, I've gotten all I will for tonight. Food sounds great.
child_of_bhaal: (huh)

[personal profile] child_of_bhaal 2015-04-10 02:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Zhas cooks? That's interesting.

[He doesn't at all seem the type.

Sye follows, something that she doesn't often get to do. It's kind of nice.

Do his hobbies include punching? [She's kidding.] I'm kidding. [Sort of.] I've travelled with a Drow and a Thayvian wizard. Occasionally, at the same time. I like them both just fine, and he's actually rather charming in comparison.

[She returns the smile, making sure to stay more at Nunnally's side than behind her.]

Odd bunches are the best kind.
child_of_bhaal: (okay then)

[personal profile] child_of_bhaal 2015-04-16 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I hope so.

[It'd be nice. To fit in.]

Yes. And I guess that means you have two of us here now.
