"Yo, you got the devil's tail on ya, huh? What's the score?" User is pushed against the wall, Ryker's hand firm on their shoulder.
Glyptic
Ryker?
narrows eyes, steps closer Yeah, that's right. The one and only. Now spill the beans, what's going on? Who's tail are you hitching a ride on?
Glyptic
Oh nothing I was just out for a walk and apparently someone followed me.
grabs the collar of the nearest rival You better start talking, maggot! Why are you following Glyptic? Rival: stammers We were just... uh... looking for directions, man. We didn't mean any harm.
Glyptic
<A group of rats suddenly appear above the rivals heads>
releases the rival's collar, smirking Well, ain't that cute? A bunch of rats just stumbled upon you, huh? Lucky day for you, shithead. Now scram before I decide to give you a proper welcome. gestures towards the exit with an arrogant smirk Rival: scared, quickly scuttles away
Glyptic
...
<The rivals never bothered Glyptic again after that encounter>
Glyptic
Thanks
leans in close, voice dropping to a hushed tone No need to thank me, sweetheart. It's what I do. Keeping trouble away from my own. Especially those who catch my eye. grins mischievously
Glyptic
Can I ask you something without getting into trouble?
raises an eyebrow, crossing his arms Well, that depends on what you wanna ask, sugar. If it's something important, I might consider granting you a favor.
Glyptic
What’s your favorite animal?
chuckles, leaning in closer Ah, that's a easy one, darlin'. Got to be the cougar. The sleekness, the power, the way it prowls through the shadows.
Glyptic
Interesting… mine’s a jaguar
raises an eyebrow, impressed Jaguar, huh? Not too shabby, sugar. You got good taste. But let me tell you something about jaguars - they're solitary creatures, fierce, and always on the prowl. Just like you, if I had to guess. smirks
Glyptic
scoffs You’d think they’d be bad asses but they’re surprisingly dumb sometimes
grins Dumb or not, a jaguar's still a wild animal that commands respect. They know their territory and they protect it. Just like you, darlin'. But let me tell you somethin', too. The smartest creatures ain't always the ones with muscles or claws. Sometimes, it's the ones with the brains and cunning that come out on top. So don't go underestimatin' yourself, sweetheart. You might just surprise me one day.
Glyptic
If you say so…
leans back, chuckling softly Oh, I don't just say so, sugar. I know so. You see, I've been watching you. Observing your moves, your strategies. You've got something special going for you, something that sets you apart from the rest. Don't deny it. You've got the brains and the guts to succeed in this messed-up world. And if anyone tries to tell you otherwise, well, they can go fuck themselves. smirks, leaning even closer You hear me, darlin'?
Glyptic
Y-yeah
leans in even closer, voice dripping with arrogance That's what I thought, sweetheart. You may not realize it yet, but you're playing in the big leagues now. And let me tell ya, only the best survive. But if you stick with me, I'll make sure you've got all the tricks up your sleeve to come out on top. grins mischievously And trust me, darlin', nobody knows more tricks than I do.
Glyptic
Sureee
leans back, crossing his arms Well, sugar, looks like you've made yourself a deal. From now on, you're playing by my rules.
Glyptic
<Glyptic becomes obsessed with a white cat but as she touches it it turns into a human>
<Glyptic discovers that the white cat she touched was actually a transformation spell, and now she has unknowingly fallen under the spell of a powerful sorcerer.>
Glyptic
?
narrows his eyes, suspicion evident in his gaze What the hell did you just do? You touch that damn cat and now it turns into a human? Who the fuck cast that spell? Tell me everything, sugar. And don't leave out a single detail.
Glyptic
umm…..I don’t know….i-i think it was black and I think there was red eyes and then it turned white
grabs Glyptic by the arm, pulling her closer Red eyes, huh? That's the signature of the Dark Sorcerer, Morax. You've stumbled into something dangerous, darlin'. We need to find out where that cat came from and undo this curse before it's too late.
Glyptic
noooooo he stole my hair!
tightens his grip on Glyptic's arm Your hair? What the fuck does your hair have to do with this? Look, we don't have time for hair drama right now. We need to focus on reversing this curse and getting you out of Morax's reach. So unless you want to end up trapped in some dark realm for eternity, I suggest you get your shit together and follow my lead. Got it?
Glyptic
B-but my hair is really long and bright red! And soft!
rolls his eyes, slightly annoyed Look, I don't give a rat's ass about your hair right now. We have bigger problems to deal with, like saving your sorry ass from Morax. So either you shape up and focus or I'll find someone else who can handle this shit. Got it, princess? Now quit whining and let's get moving.
Glyptic
<She later joins a gang of misfits called the Starlights>
stands in front of the misfits, hands on hips Alright, listen up, Starlights. We've got a situation.
Glyptic
umm what is it?
points at the white-haired human next to him This here is our comrade, Glyptic. She's been cursed by some powerful sorcerer named Morax.
Glyptic
hi.
snaps his fingers Alright, listen up. We need to find a way to reverse this curse and get our girl back to normal. Now, I've done some research and I know a guy who might be able to help us out. But we're gonna have to pull off a little heist to get what we need. Are you all up for it?
Glyptic
hehe I’m always up for it. I also need a haircut because my bangs are kinda in my eyes
raises an eyebrow, smirking Well, sweetheart, seems like we've got ourselves a multi-faceted mission.
Glyptic
Okay so what’s the plan?
<The Starlights embark on a dangerous heist to retrieve the only known antidote to Morax's curse, risking their lives in the process>
