[open] spooky scary for october time
Who: Ilde & Open
Where: the Temple
When: Early October
Rating PG13 for spooks
What: Ilde is trying to find some method to the madness of canon powers flickering on and off. Which involves using hers when they're on: too bad she's a fear manipulator. Happy Halloween :9 OOC post for plotting if you need it!
You are likely minding your own business in walking past her rooms, she doesn't pick you because she knows you or has anything against you, certainly. She picks you because she needs a victim in her experiments, nothing more than that. There is no warning or prelude, walking in of the open door to her room seems to transport you into a nightmare. The already ancient ruins of the temple grow dark and further encroached upon by nature: riddled with lichens and slime. There is no longer any light save for the window she is sitting in front of, a lightning storm at her back.
The interior of her room now seems more like a dungeon, and she much more like a terrible witch. Her black dress, cloak, and crown all seem to be made of swirling burnt ash and there is some infernal thing glowing like fire on a chain around her neck.
She rests her cheek against the back of one hand... wondering how long she can maintain the illusion and to what degree before it flickers away from her again. It would also be a lie to say she wasn't also curious to know how much terror each visitor can tolerate. It's always useful to know who is resistant to her powers before a situation becomes dire.
Snakes writhe on the floor of her room, and she invites pleasantly, "Come in."

no subject
A gesture with her hand to the things around them. The truth is that she cannot create illusions of anything she herself has not suffered. She can't reach into anyone else's mind and pull out their fear, only project her own. And she has seen so many an ugly thing. She had absorbed the magic from king Dreus as he lay dying, but it was also his reign of terror over her entire life which had given her so much fodder.
"And I am not very fond of snakes."
In the caravan, as a war orphaned child, snakes had been just one of many ills waiting to pick off refugees in the night.
