"Just a drop more...." Poe said, the daughter of a wealthy man. She was mixing what appeared to be some sort of potion and her face was distorted as she looked through a round beaker of purple swirling liquid. One of the bird-like servants tripped over something on the floor and crashed into her, making her dump the entire vile into the beaker. "AH! OH NO!" The sound of an explosion racked the house from the basement. The Lady of the house, Brittany rolled her eyes as she set down her napkin as she ate breakfast. "Oh good lord, Arucalin! Cant you do something about that infernal daughter of yours? She is disturbing the peace! A young girl such as herself should not be exploding things in the basement. Its not proper!" She complained, waving a heavily jeweled hand for emphasis. "Such behavior is unacceptable!" Lord Arucalin smiled, "Ah, she is fine. I want her to grow up doing what she loves, even if that means blowing up the basement every now and again." The dusk began to clear and Poe coughed, waving a hand in front of her face. "Wow...third time this week...." "OH! Forgive me miss! I am very clumsy!" The short birdman said, picking up the remnants of a tea cup. Poe bent down, nearly blackened from soot and smiled, flashing her white teeth. "Ah, dont worry about it Larry. It was bound to happen anyway. Besides, I am the queen of clumsiness." She stood with the tray of tea cup shards and set it aside. "I dont think it would have been a successful potion anyway." Poe brushed soot off her sleeve and then placed her hands on her hips, "Never mind silly potions, Larry! I have bigger fish to fry! I have discovered how to create the philosophers stone!" She began to gather things up around the room, "And tonight is the perfect night! The stars are aligned and in the right positions, and I have gathered all the information I need!" Poe strolled over to a set of small double doors with a bunch of scrolls under her arms and threw them open. "Larry! Grab that book on the altar table and bring me the ingredients written in it!" She disappeared down the steps then, going even deeper beneath the large house. Larry began to become very worried. "Oh my. Oh dear. Oh my goodness. This isnt good at all, not it isnt." He mumbled, gathering things up. He headed down the stairs and handed Poe the chalk she had requested and also handed her a piece of paper with a magic circle on it. Poe took them, having tossed the rest of the things aside. She began to draw out the complicated circle on the floor, and then tossed away the chalk when she was finished, "HA! The preparations are complete! Once I have done this incredible feat, my name shall go down in history. All my hard work and experimenting will not have been in vain!" Larry laughed nervously, "Ahh, ahh. Perhaps you should research more. Your mother would not be very happy if you blew up the house again, Miss Poe." Poe laughed at that, "Who cares what that crabby old lady likes or doesent like. Anyway, we will begin tonight!" Poe whirled and headed up the stairs to wait for nightfall. Hours later, she returned to the basement's basement. She prepared to do her work, she failed to realize that she had not drawn the circle correctly. She held up the book with one hand and poured blood on the magic circle with the other. The blood traced itself over the chalk, making poor Larry very, very nervous. Poe then tossed the vile of blood aside and held out her palm and began to chant. The circle began to glow and the candles around them began to flicker. The circle then burst with light and Poe slammed the book shut and squinted into the blinding light to see if she could see the stone. "AH! I THINK I SEE IT!" She said excitedly. "Oh my, oh my! I have a very bad feeling, Miss Poe! Very bad indeed!" Larry wailed. Deadra |

"PEW-PEW! Pew-poe... WHATEVER THE HELL YOUR NAME IS!" The door swung open and slammed against the wall, shaking several of the vials of things and the weird apparatus all around the room - a couple vials fell from a table and broke on the ground, splattering a bit of liquid into the circle, mixing with the blood. The circle glowed brighter, then is started to turn a deep blood red and the liquid started to swirl... meanwhile the woman was standing there in her red dress, long black hair draping over her shoulders, she was actually very pretty but she had on far too much makeup, especially the red shadow around her eyes. Her dress showed off most of her legs and was fairly low cut as well - she was going out to a party, and Christiana liked the attention of the men... despite the fact that she was quite pretty, she did NOT have a personality to match. "You little brat how am I supposed to get ready when you shake the house and knock my mirror off the WALL!?" She shrieked, and was about to slap Poe when something else caught her eye. "What is THAT...?" The blood and the liquids continued to mix and swirl, and suddenly a brilliant crimson light came from the circle, as a vortex opened in the floor, a terrible wind suddenly kicking up, almost like a tornado. There were what seemed like hundreds of screams and shrieks, the sounds of death and torment, and flames leapt from the portal, swirling around in the wind before the pillar of fire flew directly for Poe - before it veered off sharply and slammed into Christiana instead. The lady was engulfed in flames, and she let out a scream, but suddenly the flames seemed to soak into her body, flowing into her like water being absorbed into the ground, and then she collapsed to the ground, smoking but apparently not burned at all, even her clothes were untouched. The vortex died away too, and then the glow that had started it, leaving just a huge mess and one unconscious stepsister in its wake. |

Poe turned slightly to see her angry stepsister, then watched as the liquid mixed with the blood. She then watched wide eye and motionless as the events unfolded. She took a step back when all the shrieks were heard and the flames rose then held the book up in front of her face as the fire headed right for her. She opened her eyes when nothing happened and watched the flames sink into her sister. When everything became quiet, she relaxed and put down the book. "Hmm. I dont think that was supposed to happen." Poe checked the circle, just to see if the stone was there, which it wasent then approached her fallen step-sister. "Wow. Can you possibly cake any more crap on her face?" Poe didnt bother to kneel and check on her smoldering sibling, but instead gave her a tap with her boot. "Hey. Are you dead? Can I have your room?" Larry had fainted when Poe's stepsister burst into the room, as it scared him shitless. Finally, when she refused to move, Poe bent down holding the book in her lap and poked her sister make up encrusted face. "Helllloooo. I am going to leave you down here. I am NOT going to drag your snobby tush up those stairs. And I THINK your bolders are falling out of your top...." Poe stood with a sigh, "Why couldnt I have gotten a conservative sister? The way she dresses is embarrasing! To to mention you totally ruin the Im name." Still getting no response after glancing down at her with a side glance, Poe shrugged. "Well then. I will go tell Papa your dead, then." Deadra |

Her eyes opened again when she was kicked lightly - they were a deep, crimson red now, as opposed to the green they had been before. When she spoke, too, her voice was a little different - not totally, but rather than the harsh tones she had taken before, this voice was smooth like silk, and actually rather nice. "No, I'm not dead. Sorry to dissapoint you if that's what you were after. Though I can't blame you, this girl's really a bitch, isn't she?" She sat up slowly - she even moved differently now, with a sensual sort of grace, almost like a cat, and her eyes held an amused sort of glitter that was entirely unlike the sister - she actually looked nice, even WITH all the makeup. The expression she had, a sort of innocent one that at the same time wasn't innocent at all, seemed to have something to do with it. "So, mistress..." She got up slowly, in that same smooth way she had ealier, and looked herself over a little bit. "I don't think she dresses THAT badly... the men will love it. But I feel as though she puts enough makeup on to make a mask out of if you let it dry... in fact I think it IS drying, ugh... but this outfit can be salvaged, she has some bras in her drawer somewhere, I'll have to find one" She yawned a little and closed the door gently, then she walked over to wrap her arms around the woman gently. "So... you must have called me for a reason... or was it just so you didn't have to deal with your big stepsister anymore? Because I can totally understand that..." She giggled a little bit, and looked at her fingernails a little. "Ugh... these are horrible tips... why does she do this to herself anyways? How stupid ARE human men...?" |

Poe was about to leave when her sister spoke. However, her voice was different. This caused Poe to turn and watched her rise. Everything was different about her now. The only thing that was the same was that she still LOOKED like Christiana. She listened very curiously as she talked, studying her closely. She knew SOMETHING must have happened, but couldnt quite put her finger on it. She defiantly knew it was not her sister when she called Poe 'mistress'. "Mistress?" She questioned, "And yes. I believe a bra is defiantly in order." Poe was taken completely off guard when her 'sister' approached and seemingly hugged her. "OH!" Poe glanced around, not sure of what to do. "Ah, summoned? I didnt summon anyone. I was just trying to create the philosophers stone...heh." Poe then turned, tossing the book to the side, "I WAS SO CLOSE!" As the book hit the table, soot billowed around, making Poe cough. "I forgot to apologize to Papa for blowing up his basement again...." She finally said, "OH! I forgot about Larry." "Tis all right, Miss Poe. Im right here." The short bird man said shakily, "Perhaps that is enough mishaps for today? We should turn in now. You must be well rested for your mother banquet tomorrow." Poe snorted as she walked up and out into the halls, "I specifically stated to her that I was not attending her banquet. I have things to do! I have to figure out what went wrong.... OH! And why Christiana isnt...herself." Poe trailed off then and smiled, "Na, that can wait...until im dead. HAHA!" Poe turned then and walked backwards, "So! Tell me about yourself then, summoned being. I like you so much better than my sister. Can you stay forever?" She teased. "It will make MY life a whole lot easier, I can tell you that." Poe sighed, then faced forward again, "But then again, who would want to stay in her body? I assume you wish to return home. I shall have to try my best to return you to where ever you came from-WAH!" Poe suddenly tripped, falling flat on her face. A vile flew out of her pocket and she watched wide eyed as it bounced off the floor, then teetered dangerously on the edge of some stairs. "OH NO! If the vile breaks, im toast!" She and Larry dove for it and it slipped out of both their grasp. Finally, she grabbed it. However, she found herself teetering on the edge now instead of the vile, "Whoa...wah!" She flailed her arms about, but it was inevitable that she would fall forward and down the stone stair way. She shouted something and she suddenly blinked away, just before she slapped face first into the steps. Poe found herself in a dark closet somewhere hung up on a hanger by her vest. "What? OH DRAT! Messed up again." She kicked her dangling legs, but she wasent going anywhere. She reached over and pushed, trying to open the door, but found it was locked. Finally, she stopped struggling and swung idly in the closet on her hanger. "Well. I seem to be stuck here for now. At lease I didnt drop the vial." There was suddenly a shattering sound from within the closet, "Oh....darn it." The closet suddenly seemed to expand, then another explosion nearly blew the door off its hinges. Smoke seeped out from the cracks and out from under the door and strange coughing was heard from inside. "Ouch....." Deadra |

"Hmmm yes... this dress is very soft but I really dont need to be worrying about my... boulders... all day long. And yes I called you mistress, you summoned me and that puts me in your debt." She sat down, crossing her legs as she did - she really did act the proper lady far better than Chris every did. Her head tilted a little bit at the girl trying to escape the prison of her own head, but Aithne smiled a little, putting some pressure on the woman in her head, and listening to the screams for a few moments before she smiled again and looked back to Poe. "Yes, she really is a bitch, isn't she? I can see how it might make your life easier... I've only been here five minutes and already I am sick of her whining... though her screams are quite melodic..." She giggled softly and stood again. "My name is Aithne, and I will stay forever if that is your desire..." She smiled, both because she was amused by the girl's antics, and because it was nice to see a human that didn't complain when you took over their sister's body. Though a quick flip through the girl's memories told her what a blessing her taking the lady over really must be... "You know if I could I'd take that stepmother off your hands too, but I can only take one of them. I promise I'll make up for it, though... and actually I quite like this body, once I give it a makeover I think I can make it quite presentable, after - oh!" Her eyes widened a little at all the mishaps, though she just watched for a while as everything happened, finally giving up and breaking into a fit of giggles. Now she was sure she had made the right choice, this was so much more fun than seducing another demon lord... When everything was done she started down the stairs, pausing a little bit at the explosion before she opened the door to see Poe hanging there in a vest, looking very much like a cat. She covered her mough politely to try and hide her giggles, but with that she reached out and let her down. "I'm sorry, hunny, here..." She finally got the vest undone and let her down to the ground before she giggled again and scratched behind one of the girl's cat ears, smiling at her lovingly. "Awwww you look so cute, like a little kitten. Come on, we should get something to fix that before that ball, hmm?" |

Poe blinked when light flooded her eyes as Aithne, "Oh, hello." She said in a small voice. When she was lifted down, it was very obvious she was about a foot shorter, making her clothes too big. She actually started purring and got a blissful look on her face when her ears was scratched. She snapped out of it though, when Aithne said something about the banquet. "HMPH! I am not going." Poe marched off, totally un aware of her new tail. She didnt get very far before she tripped over her now too large shows and too long pants. "What the...." She looked down at herself, then waddled over to a mirror and her jaw dropped, "THIS WASENT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN!" Poe exclaimed, tugging on one of her whiskers. However, she then smiled, "Ah. But this will give me an excuse not to attend the stupid banquet. It going to be full of over dressed stuffy people anyway." Poe turned and smiled at Aithne, "Dont get me wrong, some of them are good people. However, since Papa married that woman, Papa's crowd has slowly been weeded out and replaced by empty headed and snobbish people." She had a feeling that her dear stepmother was up to no good. She would usually tell Poe to stay away, but instead invited her this time. She thought this was very suspicious, but even though she tried to get information out of everyone, it seemed her dear stepmother has plotted secrety without discussing her plan with others. "Say.... I dont mean to PRY or anything, but is there any think in that brain that might suggest what my stepmother is planning? If you can read Christiana's mind, I think you will know that Brittany would never willingly invite me to one of her meaningless get togethers." Poe held up a finger and paced slightly, "This leads me to believe she is planning something against me." Poe didnt seem to be phased at all that she was talking to someone that had possessed her sisters body. Sure she would have been very upset if it was anyone else beside her stepmoher, but she was usually friendly with anyone. Deadra |

"Oh, but if you don't go I don't want to go by myself..." She pouted a little bit, then giggled again as she watched the little girl go up the stairs, tripping here and there. She followed her, though, and smiled as she watched her examine herself in the mirror. "It may not have been intended, but I think you look adorable, sweetie." She walked over and picked Poe up - she was much lighter now, and Aithne had made Chris much, much stronger - and carried her back over to a comfy looking chair where she set Poe in her lap and pet her hair softly, smiling. "I understand. Your father is a nice man, I'll make sure to torture Christiana some for making his life more difficult. You have lovely hair, did you know that? And fur right now too..." She giggled softly again, scratching at her ear and thinking for a moment, rifling through Chris' memories before she responded again. "Yes, actually. There is a very elaborate plan to have a young male friend of hers woo you and string you along, I don't know if it would have worked but evil masterminds your stepfamily are not, dearie. That, though, is why I thought you and i could go together - secretly, of course, after all we are supposed to hate one another, right - and play a few jokes on them instead. Then, of course, your stepsister will take all the blame..." She smiled again, she had a very gentle way about her, at least with Poe - she did like the girl, really. She was something very new to Aithne, and she was sweet in her own way. Plus, she did what she wanted. Exactly the type Aithne liked. "What do you think? Could you whip up some potions a bit like the one you accidentally had spilled on you? Or maybe something else for your mother's dear friends...? Because your dear sister might just mistake it for something else, and try to cause trouble..." |

Poe curled up in Aithne's lap like an actual kitten and purred. her tail swished happily as Aithne's words floated in one ear and out the other. Shew then seemed to realize what she was doing and moved away with a confused look on her face. "Thats weird...I must have picked up the cat traits too...." However, she suddenly remembered the part about being wooed and hissed, literally. "WOOED?! She is trying to marry me off and get rid of me!" She pounced on teh couch on all fours, tearing up the couch slightly with her new claws. "That evil, evil woman! Vile....WOMAN!" She was too angry to say anything else. With a flying leap, she landed on the floor and held up a finger, "TO THE LAB! I must make something to thwart her diabolical plans!" She began to head off, but stumbled over her shoes, so finally kicked them off and rolled up her pants. "NOW to the lab!" Poe threw the doors open to the basement a few moments later and began to grab things off shelves and brush soot away. Momentarily forgetting Aithne was there, she became absorbed in her work. Poe held her breath as she carefully added one last drop to her expierment. There was a slight poof, signalling that it was complete and she held it up, "SUCCESS!" She exclaimed. She set it down then and sighed, "What time is it?" Even as she said that she cave out a cat-like yawn and blinked. Deadra |

She grinned a little bit as the girl jumped out of her lap, then she nodded. "Yes, I think you did. Like I said, though, it's rather adorable. My little kitty-mistress." She giggled again as she watched her tear into the couch, then she walked after her a little, still quite amused by her antics - this girl was funny, and she liked it. There wasn't a whole lot that was funny where she came from, there was a lot that was scary and a lot that could be fun, but not a lot that could really be called funny. Coming to this plane just might have been her best idea yet, or so she felt. So she just stood behind Poe and watched with great interest as the girl whipped something up that Aithne somehow imagined would be greatly entertaining... or so she hoped, anyways. When it was all done she smiled, and picked the girl up again. She was less like a sister, really, and more matronly - after all, she was much older than she looked. She pet the girl again, she loved having pets and this was similar in a way, and carried her back up the stairs. "Probably time my little kitty cat went to bed and stopped worrying so much about acting like a cat, because its adorable and you know you like it when I pet you. Shouldn't be embarrassed about something that makes you feel good, dear. Now how about I carry you up to your bed and I'll pet you till you fall asleep. Tomorrow we'll get to know each other a little bit better, because Chris really has not taken the time, and I would like to. Plus I can tell you a little about myself if you would like to know, being as I hope you and I will be spending much more time together in the future." She carried her gently up to her room and lay her down on her bed, then she leay next to her, scratching her a little under her chin with one hand and petting her with the other. She didn't really need to sleep, though... perhaps in the morning she would show the girl what she really looked like. If she could handle that... they would be great friends indeed... |
