Grrl Power #1352 - Ballroom banter

Thank you for the support! You guys and grrls are awesome!

The following is all totally canon:

Sydney: Ooh! Is that Detla? No wait, her hair is pink. I didn't know Stygans could have pink hair. Of course Detla is the only one I met. It's cool that her skin is... uh, what color is that. A murky teal? I bet she comes from a tropical region of Stygan-landia. I'm right aren't I? Like some part that's very coastal and flanked by chains of islands. I can just picture people with that skin color hanging out on beaches and swimming a lot and doing Pacific Islander stuff. Or it's the total opposite and she's one of the... uh, Fire Stygans. Is Stygan society broken down by element like that? Probably not. >inhale<

Dabbler: Let me play through these memories, then I can answer...

Sydney: So that's a real Angel, huh? Wait, I met an Angel at the Twilight Council. She didn't have a flaming eyeball halo. Or is this chick like a high-ranked Angel, like a Seraphim, or a Host. Is that a rank? Like, "Heavenly Host?" Or is "host" just the collective noun for Angels? I'd have thought it'd be something like "A wing of Angels." or "A smug of Angels." I mean, nothing against Angels, but the seem like they'd be a little self-important. Where are her wings? Can the contract into her, or are they conjured purely from magic? What products does she use in her hair? With that flaming halo, you'd think she'd need some really expensive conditioner. >inhale<

Dabbler: If I could just...

Sydney: Hah hah, I just realized, "Flaming Halo" is what I should call myself when I get a sunburn. Or if I ever eat so much hot sauce it starts coming out of my pores when I sweat. Can that happen? I mean, I know it can't, but I think it did once. That or I had hot sauce on my fingers and rubbed my hands on my skin. I made out with a guy later that day and his nose started running. We were kissing, sure, but I always brush my teeth before making out. I meant he was kissing... uh, other parts of me... So does that Angel have a flaming sword or a flaming spear, or a flaming bow and arrow? Aren't Demons fire resistant? Flaming weapons seems like a weird choice to use against them. I know, it's not fire fire, it's like, holy fire or something, right? But why not make it holy ice, right? Wouldn't it be twice as effective then? Are Demons even vulnerable to cold? Hah! That would mean that Demons are all girls. You know, because girls are always cold. Hah hah. Wait! Maybe girls are all Demons? Ooh... >inhale<

Dabbler: ...

Sydney: Is that blue chick the one from Tamer: Enhancer 2? ...What? I find time to read. She was a blue, six-armed chick with gold tattoos. Hmm. No, in the book, it said she had a pattern on her forehead that looked like an elfin tiara. This chick just has, like... double eyebrows. I guess she's just a different member of that race. Wait! Dabbler! This chick has six arms, you have four, and you said you didn't know who your other mother was, right? (DaveB: This is the chick from TE:2)

Dabbler: My non-succubus mother was a Doppelganger, Sydney. I don't know what race my father was.

Sydney: Oh.

Dabbler: May I continue with the memory playback?

Sydney: Okay.

Dabbler: >inhale<

Sydney: Where does this take place? Is this Fracture Station? It feels like Fracture Station. Like, not because of the decor in the room or anything, but the "I know peripheral things because of context memories" factor. It's kind of like a dream, watching this. Is it weird that you were there just before coming to Earth, and so were the orbs, but didn't we decide the orbs have been here for millions of years... wait, what are you doing with that ballgag?
