"Well, I am glad you arent into the oozy thing. And yes, I have seen the things she buys with my fathers money. She has locked me out of everything, so I cant even be sure how much Papa has now. For all I know she could be marrying me off to get the money now that she doesent have any more." Poe said with a sad sigh. "Papa worked very very hard to get where he is now. I will be damned if I let that woman ruin all his hard work." When Arithne set her on her lap, Poe was slightly weirded out. Though, when she asked Poe to finish her sentence, Poe blushed. "Ah, well. Thats not important. There is no need for anyone to know what type of man I want!" Poe squirmed trying to get away from the demon, "We should probably get ready now, haha. We have preperations to complete you know..." Poe was having a hard time looking at Aithne now. She definatly wasent used to talking about things like that, or about herself in general. Besides, she didnt want to leave her father alone. If she married or anything, she would have to move in with her husband. Or at least that was the tradition of their family. Deadra |

She nodded a little bit when the girl talked of her father. "He's a good man I think. Even if Chris doesn't... but then noone cares what the host thinks, do they?" She smiled cheerily, but then she held onto her a little tighter when she tried to get away. "No, no... I'm sorry I didn't want to ask you anything embarassing. And sorry about... oh I'm still doing it..." She let her off her lap, looking as though she might blush, but then again her skin was already blood red, what did you do? Turn flesh color? "I'm just a close sort, I guess, forgive me if I cuddle sometimes. Weird demon, aren't I? I won't pretend I wasn't weird back home. Just... I'm bound to you now, alright? If you ever need anyone to talk to, about anything, I'll never tell anyone any of your secrets. Promise." She smiled a little bit, then she nodded and dropped down to all fours again, walking alongside Poe and brushing against her side a little bit, like a et almost. She was used to being like a pet, was what she did best... pretend to just be an innocent pet while really she was orchestrating whole plots behind people's backs... here, though, the one she called Mistress was in on the plot - was the one who wanted it. Was an interesting switch. "Yes we do... what shall I do, then? Your big evil plan..." |

Poe cleared her throat when she was freed, then looked at the vile in her pocket. "Once the er..banquet is underway, I will slip Brittany the serum. Watch me like a hawk, because when I do, I want you to break the spell of my father." Poe smiled, looking down at Aithne, "Then once I notice he is free from her grasp, I will begin to ask her innocent little questions. I just hope everything goes smoothly." Poe began to head up the stairs then, but paused, "Thanks though, Aithne. I have never had anyone besides my father to talk to. Not that I mind talking to him....there are some things that are just a little awkward to talk about with a dad, you know?" Patting the vile in her pocket, she moved on. She would have to take another stupid bath to get all the soot off her. Poe really needed to stop blowing things up. She returned to her room and cleaned up again, then moved about in her room in her towel. Finally, she opened the doors to her wardrobe. About the same time a knock came at her door as she opened up a little to see Larry standing there with a box. "The Lady said she would like you to wear this gown to the banquet." Poe glared at the box, but took it anyway, "Thank you, Larry." Poe shut the door then and open it up and picked up the gown. "Ew. Can this thing be any poofier or ugly? Is this the back? The top?" As she got to look at it she realized that it was one of those dresses that had a split in the front that went all the way down to her belly button. "Ah...defiantly wont be wearing this." She tossed it on the bed and went back over to her own ward robe. She pulled out on or two gowns and finally chose one. There was no need to look incredibly good at one of her mothers parties. However, if it was one of her fathers, she would have made sure to look her best. By the time she was finished dressing, it was nearly time for the banquet. "Better go check to see if Aithne is ready." Poe said getting up and heading to her room. Deadra |

"Will do. I'll just pretend to be giving my dear stepfather a kiss, and when I do I'll get that enchantment right off him." Or put one on... nah, she wouldn't do anything to the girl's father. Though if it turned out he WASN'T under a spell, she might put him under one to get him away from that hag - she'd be doing him a huge favor after all. Really, Aithne was just glad that she would be able to stay. She smiled a little bit to Poe, though, with her next few words. "You're welcome. Thank you for letting me stay, it means a great deal." Well... not THAT much, she could have found another place. But she WAS grateful because she really did want to stay and get to know this interesting little alchemist better. And maybe do a little of her own playing in Daddy's money... nothing too terrible, though. When the girl went to her room, Aithne continued to Chris's room and closed the door, standing back up as she felt the human form wrap around her again, like something a little too tight, but that was okay... it wasn't uncomfortable, certainly not as she stood in front of the mirror and ran her hands down her form a little, still getting to know it. "Hmmmm... humans aren't bad, I suppose..." Finally she walked to the closet and spent some time picking something tasteful out - harder than she thought, but what the heck. What she found was not too tasteful - a black dress that didn't have a back to speak of, but it wasn't too low cut, and it hugged tight against her... she liked it. Finally she heard Poe come in as she was brushing her dark brown hair, leaving it straight and loose around her shoulders. She smiled back over at Poe, and then tilted her head. "Dear, you really don't try for these parties do you...? Come here, you want to look good when your father dumps your stepmother, right? The dress is nice enough I suppose, but... well let's see, hm?" |

Poe smiled when she came in and watched Aithne brush her hair...er, her step sisters hair. When she said something about not trying, Poe put her hands on her hips, "Thats the point. I dont want to look good for one of her parties." poe glanced at Aithne's dress, "Besides, I dont exactly have Christiana's looks you know. I am twenty years old, but still only look about sixteen. Im short too, not tall and slender." She then snorted, "You should see the dress SHE wanted me to where. It was like a huge tent or something and showed more flesh up top that it covered." A thought struck her, "Oh, since my Papa dont exactly know who you are, he might have you thrown out. I will explain things to him though, so even if he does it wont be for long. Just wanted to give you a warning. I dont know how mad he will be. He does have a temper sometimes." She then smiled, "Well, then. Shall we go?" Poe then laughed, "I bet my husband to be looks at you more than me! He will probably wonder why the oldest daughter doesent get married off first and be cursing his luck." Deadra |

"Yes but this party will turn into your father's party when we free him, remember? And if he throws me out, I might just stay here a while and let Chris wander the streets herself. Think you'd mind if I lived in you a while? I wouldn't take you over I promise." She smiled happily and then she stopped. "Oh, sweetie... you know what, forget this. I'm taking you back down you your room and we're picking you out another dress and I am going to show you how pretty you are, hm? We'll make that boy look at you so when you don't marry him he can think of the catch he just missed." She smiled and tugged the girl back down to her room, then she bade her to stand still, and she unzipped the dress and pulled it off her without another word. "One moment." She walked over to the closet, and pulled out a silver-blue dress that she had found in there the other day. She walked over to Poe again, and pulled that dress on her almost without a word. She fixed it on her, zipped it up, and smiled softly. "See? That's a nicer dress. Now the rest of it is about your hair and your face..." She sat Poe down on her stool and went about brushing and fixing her hair, applying a little bit of makeup here and there - just a little, and when she finally got done, she knelt down and kissed her cheek. She actually was pretty good, for a demon that had never worn makeup before - or maybe it was that she had all of Chris' memories of doing it badly that enabled her to do it well. And Poe did look very good when she was dressed up and had her hair fixed, the makeup was just a couple highlights here and there. "There. Now you're way prettier than she ever used to be, with her horrible makeup and the like... what do you think?" |

"Hmm, I dont mind I suppose. Just dont take over my body and me do something I would regret." Poe was suddenly grabbed then and tugged along, "Ah! No wait!" Before she knew it Aithne took off her dress and put another one on Poe. She was then set on her stool and her hair was redone. She didnt really like make up, but there really wasent enough on to make her complain about it. When Aithne finished, Poe looked in the mirror and blinked. She almost looked her actual age. "Hmm, not bad I suppose." Poe teased. "Its weird that a demon would know how to make someone look good." She stood and face her, "Well, lets get all this over with." Poe hide her vial and headed out the door, "See you there!" Poe gave Aithne a wink and disappeared out the hall. It would look weird if the two arrived together. Poe approached the large double doors and stepped through. As she figured, it was mostly her mothers stuck up crowd. She made her way over to her father and smiled, "Good evening, Papa." He smiled down at her, "Good evening, Pow-pew." He turned and watched others then, seeming just like an obedient servant. This made Poe frown and she turned to watch others converse and dance. Brittany approached then, glaring at Poe, "Why didnt you wear the expensive dress I bought for you?" She hissed. "Because it was tasteless. Who ever made that dress was insane." Poe retorted. Poe watched with a smile at Brittany's reaction. "How dare you speak to me in such an impolite manner!" She squeaked, "You will treat me with respect in front of my guests!" "Of course mother, what ever you say." Poe said. Poe looked around the room, wondering which man there her step mother had paired her up with. Deadra |

"No, not bad at all. And I suppose. But then again I have access to all your sister's memories, and since she usually does everything wrong, I just have to do everything the way she doesn't do it and it turns out nice, don't you think?" She giggled a little bit, and nodded as Poe left, then she sat back for a few minutes, her eyes closed, and something had changed by the time she stood back up. Her eyes were hazel again, and she had lost that serene sort of grace that she always had when Aithne was controlling her. Christiana was back now, and looking sort of puzzled. "Why am I in her room...? Ew..." Not entirely in control, certainly. Aithne was lurking, pulling strings, making her think things, but no longer directly - she didn't want anyone to suspect anything, after all... this was a stealth mission... and Aithne was very good at remaining in total control. Without another word, Chris walked out, shutting the door, and before long she was at the party, mingling with her friends, making fun of other people, as usual. They were of course a little puzzled at her appearance, but she waved it off, saying that she was trying a new look - and judging by the way men were captivated as she walked by, it was working. So Aithne had given Chris a little of her grace, just for kicks - she might play with some of these men later, after all, didn't want to go giving the wrong impression... she walked up to Poe later. "Hell, Poo-pOW!" She suddenly pressed her hand against her head, a sudden pain passing through her brain, and when she looked up again, just for a moment, her eyes were red. "Letting her have one last party to keep mummy from suspecting. Sorry I let her slip by that one, she'll pay though... don't tell, hm sweetie?" She whispered that, then her eyes turned back again, and she went to sit down, groaning in pain. "Ooohhhh my head is killing me..." |

Poe smiled as Christiana walked up and smiled even more as she went to sit down because of a headache. After she left, Brittany came up with a man on her arm. The man TOWERD over her, as he was 6'11" easy. He was very skinny and average looks. "Pow-pew, this is Jason. Jason, this is the girl I was telling you about. She is my step daughter, Pow-Pew. Why dont you talk with each other?" Brittany said, heading off to a flock of her fat friends. Poe stood there looking up at him, blinking. Poe herself was barely 5'2" tall. "Um...hello, Jason." She said with a nervous smile. Once Poe got to looking at him, he was very creepy looking. "Good evening, ah...Pow-Pew was it?" He asked, his voice VERY deep. "Yes, thats right. Its a strange name I know, but I was named after my grandmother." Poe replied. Eventually, Brittany made them dance, which was rather embarrassing because he was so damned tall and she was short. She could feel people staring at her and could also hear a few whispers. Finally, they were able to eat and when everyone was at the table, Poe's plan would begin. She made sure Larry was the one to serve Brittant her drink, as she had briefed him on her plan. He of course so very willing to help and did as he was told. He wanted to be rid of her too. Brittany stood and tapped her wine glass for a toast, "I just want to make a toast to our two special guests. Jason and Pow-Pew. I am very proud to announce their engagement. Everyone here is of course invited to the wedding!" A murmur arose and glasses were raised, then everyone drink and Poe gave a smile in Christiana's direction. Deadra |

Aithne watched sadly as Poe was forced to dance with that behemoth, she felt terrible for the poor girl. Christiana started to laugh, but she had another sudden headache and had to sit back down, unsurprisingly. After all the dances were done, and they were sitting down, Aithne sprung the first part of her own plan. Sitting on the other side of Jason, Christiana suddenly gasped a little, her face turning very red. "I, um... is it hot in here...?" She looked over at Jason, and as everyone started clapping, she finally couldn't help herself, and grabbed him, pulling him down to her level and kissing him passionately. About midway through the kiss, as everyone had stopped clapping and was staring in stunned silence, she came to her senses and pushed him away in a hurry, wiping her mouth. "Ew! Oh, gross, what the hell is wrong with you you pervert!?" Aithne had to stifle a laugh, because it might have altered Chris' perfect act of indignation - the girl did THAT well at least, though Aithne was now positive she was a better kisser. While all eyes were on her, though, including her father's, she looked back to him, her eyes crimson red for a moment, and suddenly he would blink a few times, Chris's eyes back to normal and still backing away from the tall man. "Mother you're going to marry Pow-Pew to THIS man!? How COULD you!?" Chris stepped over to Poe and put a hand on her shoulder. There was suddenly a heat that seemed to flow from that touch into Poe, and then a silken voice spoke in Poe's head, the warmth spreading around her body as Aithne nestled in and got comfortable. Hi again... thought I'd leave her to twist without my talents for a little while while daddy throws her and Mommy out... sorry for this I know it must feel weird, I won't make you do anything bad though, you've got all the control right now. She was honest too - she wasn't pushing on Poe at all, though later she might just a little. Get the girl to have some fun with this situation... though she trusted her to be suitably vicious in this situation... You were right, by the way, she did hex him... Her presence there was kind of like when she had Poe on her lap, like she was hugging her softly, but from inside... |
