[nevy is... adjusting. she still keeps to herself and gil's company overwhelmingly, but asgard isn't as bad as she originally, fantastically, believed it to be, and sometimes she even goes outside on her own.

today she's by herself in her apartment. gil's off somewhere, and she spends the day puttering around, reading, cleaning, practising floating around. she finishes sweeping the floor and tosses the dust in the trashbin, and then she fills a small bucket with some water and cleans the windows and the counter and the floor. nevy is on her way to carry it into the bathroom to dump out the dirty water into the tub, but her underhand toss is interrupted by a high pitched screech when the water crashes over not limestained ceramic, but a long, dark body.

half the water ends up on the floor as the bucket clatters to the ground with a loud sound. nevy tucks her knees up and hovers, but she loses control of the power a second later and crashes to the ground. she doesn't have time to get up, because there are two clawed feet on the edge of the tub and beady eyes staring at her.

she fumbles the bracelet on as she scrambles back across the room, the slithery black creature hissing at her as it squirms out of the tub and oozes across the floor toward her.]

Help, oh, for the love of Titan, someone! There's a monster in my bathroom, and it's-- [her sentence is cut off as she grabs a book to hurl it at the creature and then promptly hides her face behind her hands. the feed promptly goes dead.]

[Thank goodness nothing awkward is going on - he and Oswin are just having a chat when Pyro hears the crashing and hissing and screaming from the bathroom.]

Oh shit. [He looks at her, more amused than concerned.] I think my roommate just met the basilisk.

[He leads the way to the door that connects to the bathroom, pulling it open and blinking at the figure he sees there. No weirder than some mutants he's seen before, so it's a blink and nothing more before he focusses on his "pet."]

You being an asshole again? This one's on the no-kill list too, got it?

[eggsterminate]

[GIVES HIM A LOOK.

And then shoves him towards the bathroom door.]

Go help her. And control that stupid thing or give it away!

[neverymind]

[Nevy looks up in alarm at the two newcomers, whimpering and inching further away from the basilisk, which is now a scant three feet away from her.]

Is this yours? [she demands, though it doesn't sound very intimidating at all.]

[ex_outofcontrol435]

It's a long story. [He sighs, rolling his eyes at Oswin.]

I am controlling it. It's not killing her, is it? Anyway, would you rather have it in with us?

[But he does cross to put himself between Nevy and the basilisk, staring down at it with pure hatred in his eyes.]

Back off, or I give you back to the trolls. Hell, why wait when I could kill you myself? [He stuffs a hand into his pocket and pulls out a switchknife, flicking it open; at that, the basilisk finally starts to back off, still letting out baleful little hisses.]

[eggsterminate]

[Oswin shudders at the thing as it slinks away, carefully making sure it doesn't touch her feet.]

I'd rather not have it in with anyone! Let it into the woods!

[She crosses her arms in front of her chest and looks at Nevy.]

He didn't mention a roommate. Sorry about that.

[fishdouche]

... Fe--...

[No, it's not her. Though there's something about the strange girl that reminds Eridan of his ex-best friend. Maybe the magenta, or the horns, or her hair that is too familiar. He frowns, blinking at the creature sliming its way across her floor.]

Are you alright?!

[neverymind]

No!!! Do I look alright?

[fishdouche]

I don't know how you're supposed to look on a normal fuckin' basis.

[He frowns, petulant.]

All I wwanted to do wwas fuckin' help you. Jegus.

[neverymind]

[She blinks, a little surprised at the immediate sulky reaction.] Well... I mean...!

It's a nice sentiment and all but this thing is still crawling towards me whether you've asked if I'm okay or not!

[Audio]

[occulthymns]

[Well, that slithery lizard thing looks familiar.]

It's not going to eat you, if that's what you're worried about.

video;

[neverymind]

[Nevy stares balefully into the camera and inches further back against the edge of her bed.] I was actually a little more worried about it killing me or infecting me with something! [she pouts, agitated.]

audio;

[occulthymns]

It won't do that either. It's a sweetheart when you get to know it.

video;

[neverymind]

Are you... familiar with this thing?!

video;

[gwenhwyfar]

Well, that's a strange creature.

[SAID EVER SO CASUALLY.]

It may be afraid of you just as much as you are of it.

video;

[neverymind]

I don't think it'd be crawling towards me if that was the case, [she huffs.]

video;

[gwenhwyfar]

[Okay, maybe she is finding this a little bit too humorous.]

It acts out of defense!

video;

[neverymind]

You don't chase someone out of defense!

[bluespacebabe]

[NEVER FEAR, BEST FRIEND, GIL IS EVER ON THE LOOKOUT FOR YOUR DISTRESS.]

Nevy?! Nevy, can you hear me? Are you all right?! I'm on my way right now!

video;

[neverymind]

Gil! Gil it was awful, some diseased lizard thing was in my bathtub, and it was giant, and ugly, and it's my roommate's pet, and Gil I don't want to live here anymore!

video;

[bluespacebabe]

It's just a lizard?

[Hold up on the crisis here, the world is not ending.]

I don't think that qualifies as a monster.

video;

[neverymind]

Gil, pay attention! It was a lizard-like-thing, but it was huge and it had spikes and claws and all these teeth and it was all shiny and black and it chased me.
