Artifact 03: Brooch of Love

[whitestlotus.livejournal.com]

[ Angela had been absent from the Plane for a bit before the whole Octopese fiasco (which is now over for her, thank you!), and is now going back to using the Plane to her advantage. She's currently going through a bag of strange objects, anyone who has spoken to her at length before can probably assume they're all artifacts. At one point she's having trouble keeping track of them all, and thus takes one of the smaller of the group-- a simple ornamental pin-- and attaches it to her clothes before going about reorganizing her bag-o-magic-stuff.

She really needs to learn not to go pinning things that she doesn't understand to her clothing. ]


((OOC: Okay, extensive OOC note for this artifact. Considering the name, you'd think it'd be the jewelry version of Alien Sex Pollen-- and it can be! But that's not all it does. The Brooch of Love alters emotional reactions to the wearer. This means your character can see her as a sibling they never had, a mentor, a pupil, a mother, a rival, an enemy, a best friend, a girlfriend... Or it can simply not affect your character at all. It's an imperfect artifact after all. And because it's imperfect, it will also affect her in the same way. So if your character views her as a little sister, she will view your character like an older sibling. It does not, however, alter memories. So while they'll feel like family, they won't have memories of growing up together. Characters may clue into the emotions being "wrong" while still in her presense or they may not, but regardless, once they're a good ten feet away from her, the feelings will go away.

Basically, use this however you want to. If you've been itching to have your character be in a fight, she can be the enemy. If you think your character needs some cuddles, she can be a snuggle buddy, no strings attached. Need some torment? Angst! She'll have no choice but to indulge, since she won't know any better. I'm cool with everything short of character death, so have as much fun as you want to at her expense. And if someone manages to get the brooch off of her, it'll impact whomever wears it. ♥

TL;DR - Pin thingie affects the emotions felt for the wearer. Pick a relationship, treat her as such, I'll roll with it. \o/ ))

[Of course this means Dino has to come by] That's a lot of stuff.

[ She nods, not looking up just yet. ] We've found a decent amount of them, but nothing very useful so far. I'm not even sure what some of them do.

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

[He squats down to get a better look at some of them] Even if they aren't exactly useful, it's probably a good thing to have them. It keeps anyone else from getting their hands on them.

[ She pulls her hair over one shoulder, picking up one that looks a bit like a piece of coral. ] Still not what I'm looking for, though...

[grasswavemaster.livejournal.com]

[Stare. Why does this person seem familiar?]

[whitestlotus.livejournal.com]

[ She looks up and tips her head. This person seems familiar, too! ]

[grasswavemaster.livejournal.com]

Do I... know you?

[lamb_of_gold]

Hello, Angela.

[whitestlotus.livejournal.com]

Hello, Mu.

[lamb_of_gold]

Found anything interesting?

[pactum.livejournal.com]

[Shyboy is here.]

What are you doing?

[whitestlotus.livejournal.com]

Trying to organize these things. [ She looks down at all the artifacts. ] I have so many now.

[pactum.livejournal.com]

[He crouches beside her. If he's invading her space, he doesn't notice.] Do they do anything?

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Ah? What do you have there, Angela?

[whitestlotus.livejournal.com]

[ She looks up. ] Artifacts Koren and I have found. I'm trying to figure out which ones I should keep.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

[She smiles. Oh, Angela, always so mischievous, not unlike Waka.]

Always the troublemaker, aren't you? I do hope you didn't steal them~

[contract_star]

[Hei is here to apologize for yelling at her before, but then...huh. When in the world did he start thinking of her as being like Bai? No matter. He schools his expression; he can't let her think he's weak.]

Be careful.

[whitestlotus.livejournal.com]

[ And she was likely going to get pissy with him again, because that's what Angela does, but finds she just can't will up the same anger she had before. ]

I am. These all look like they're pretty useless, anyway.

[contract_star]

You could sell them.

[Kuhn just happens to be in the area and just happens to spot Angela. He sees all of the various things she's looking at and, curious, approaches.

Then, he notices her. He always notices pretty females, but for some reason, he feels like he's... known her before. Very, very well. And that, because of this...]

Hey there, beautiful. [... he sits down next to her, cups her cheek with one hand and brings his lips to hers.]

[whitestlotus.livejournal.com]

[ Kiss. Kiss. That was her first kiss.

And yet somehow she just... doesn't mind. She's okay with it. ]

Hey yourself.

[silenteden.livejournal.com]

[He holds the kiss a little longer. When he does finally break it, he puts an arm around her, grinning.] How have you been, hm?

[ghostlighter]

['Sup, sister... like... person who he's never really ever spoken to before?]

What are you doing?

[whitestlotus.livejournal.com]

[ Hello brotherly person whose name she does not know! ]

I'm trying to figure out if these are worth keeping. So far they all look pretty useless, though. [ She holds up a medallion with a face on it. ] What do you think?

[ghostlighter]

[He crouches down next to her to get a better look at the medallion. He's not quite cluing in to the 'wrongness' of feeling so close to a stranger yet; unfortunately for him, having his mind screwed with like this is not uncommon. :|;]

Uh... not sure. What's it even supposed to be?
