Hoarfrost	The Wintersong Forest sits along the Yellow River just north of the small Fishing Village of Tideshore. It would at first appear to be a frozen wasteland eternally locked into the dead of winter by some magic or other. To most its impossible to traverse. Its easy to get lost and the cold few are ready for means its drains their strength quickly. For those in the know how ever the trick of the forest is simple. Not too far off for the forest's center hides of the few reprieves from the cold. A set of steaming hot springs untouched my the modern world. Water slowly rolls over rocks and gurgles up from pools. Here the air is almost warm, though a few steps form the water it is biting cold. Massive icicles hang from the trees above like chandeliers reflecting the light into the space at all hours. Animals use the pools as well. Relaxing in the healing heat. Hoarfrost herself sets a small basket down beside the water as well as a vile that can be nothing other than sake. Her clothing has further deteriated. Now wearing nothing but a torn bed sheet as a kind of cloak to keep her modesty in lew of the final destruction of her only other set. "I know I said I would take us here sooner, sorry its been a bit Amethyst" she smiles looking to see what her friend thinks. "Do you think Rishi will come today, she said she was going to bring her designer friend but I have no idea how they are going to get them all the way out here."
Amethyst	"She'll find a way." Amethyst already has her feet in the water. She is certainly no air dragon, and this place is /freezing/. It's good to be around somewhere warm. And Amethyst herself still has some minor scrapes, but it's clear her own clothes are torn and shredded from the elements. The scary part of this forest must've consumed her for a fair bit before she made it through.
Rishi	The sound of wings stirs above you as a shadow moves quickly around the clearing before your friend lands, brushing back her long dark hair and grinning her usual smile. She looks around in wonderment, nodding, her wings folding into a cloak, though she otherwise seems indifferent to the temperature. "This is a most lovely place you have, sister!" she says in her throaty, musical voice. As she starts stripping to join you both in the pool, you can't help but notice that she's quite alone.
Hoarfrost	Hoarfrost removes the hair pin from her sheet she is rather naked under it. Missing even her old boots. Carefully she enters the water with a long happy sigh. Long white hair floating atop the water pooling around her. Only the motion from above seems to pull her out of her most relaxed state. "Rishi!" she says happily "I'm glad you remembered the path." Floating over to the edge of the water near Amethyst and resting her arms on the side. "Where is your friend? I take it your friend didn't want to fair the forest?" more than a little disappointment in her voice.
Amethyst	Amethyst herself, perhaps copying her friend, also disrobes and just flows into the water like it was meant for her. And she makes this delightful noise of bliss as the warmth eases all of the problems she's been having lately. She even dives underwater, lurking down and spinning and rotating and swimming. And then she spots Rishi, and decides to wait underwater for the perfect moment.
Rishi	Rishi finishes removing her pantsand stands up straight with a *bounce*. She head tilts for a moment, before giggling "Ah! No, I am most sorry for having confused you. My designer is here!" and she points dramatically ...at empty air. Rishi blinks then sighs. "Must I make of this an order?" a brief, chill, wind blows through the clearing. <Chirr <click> <click>, you are to become Material, right now, or I shall be eating the eggs for weeks. That is an Order!> On the ground, next to Rishi, threads start to appear as though they were worms crawling through the fabric of existence, knitting together to form a large orb spider the size of a small dog. It is mostly indigo, with lighter dusty blue markings. It looks at Hoarfrost and bows. Rishi resiumes smiling as she says "This is my clothing designer. Meet Chirr <click> <click>."
Hoarfrost	Hoarfrost tilts her head at the empty air, trying and failing to squint and see the immaterial. Something that has always vexed her to her own chagrin. Instead she waits as Rishi scolds the air. Also doing the best she can not to reveal the Dragon hiding in the waters below . "Ah a demon!" pulling herself out of the water a little bit to get a better look. "I haven't mastered that spell I admit, it is a pleasure to meet you Chirr <click> <click>" voice uncannily good at the insect clicking of the name. "Orb Spider correct?"
Amethyst	Splash! Suddenly there's a naked Dragon flying into the water and then landing back in it giggling and wading. "<Hi! Rishi, Chirr <click click>>" Amethyst grins. "Are you hear to give us clothes? I think we both kinda need 'em something fierce." There's just such a joy in her that wasn't there before, like a switch has been turned on. The fins on her hands and feet probably help with that.
Rishi	The spider glances at Rishi, who nods, and then in a condescending yet chittery voice, it says <My Mistress has ordered this. I will need to take your measurements first.> "It is quite good at this, do not worry." She grins at Ammy as she jiggles towards the pool before sliding in and relaxing. "It is good to see you both! And it is lovely to see you both fo full of the joy!" She notices their threadbare clothing, then says back over her shoulder "Oh and you are to use the Hell Silk for my Sisters! They seem to be most hard upon their outfits!"
Hoarfrost	Hoarfrost laughs and dips underwater to avoid the worst of the splash as Amethyst lands back int the water. A few of the animals enjoying other pools scatter at all the noise and the appearance of a demon. Leaving the four in peace of the beautiful icy hide away. Smiling to her sister in essence and giving a nod. "It has been a rough few weeks but we have come out stronger for it I think. Time like this with friends, to relax ... its perfect." Pulling herself out of the water. The warmth around the pool the only thing keeping the water from freezing to her lithe and willowy frame. Pale skin almost glowing in the strange light "I will go first so as to not impose on you any longer Chirr <click> <click>"
Amethyst	"Do you need me to come out of the water for those measurements?" The water Dragon asks, clearly enjoying her time too much to want to just... climb back out of the water. And there's this delighted noise that comes from her when Rishi refers to her as one of her Sisters. She just lazily drifts to the edge of the water, and leans. "I really am home..." she muses to herself. And then she swims to her mentor friend, grinning. "A Steward Dragon I will be, yet." She then looks back towards Rishi. "I never thought I'd have any sisters. Not... really." And her tone says something like "~Not the sort that aren't judgmental, anyway~"
Rishi	Rishi puts her hand on top of Ammy's finned hand. "You have finally become who you are. You *fit* yourself. I can tell this, from how joyous you are. Never let anyone tell you that you are not beautiful, my sister or that your body is wrong. Because you are who you are now and that is worth everything." The spider faces Hoarfrost, paces around her, then comes forward and starts climbing her leg. Apparently it's taking the measurements directly.
Hoarfrost	"Of course you are home. We offered this to you with her whole heart." After a few days without proper clothes she can hardly feel too shy in front of the others yet soothing has her cheeks turning a little red as she glances back to the others. Half surprised as the spider starts climbing up her leg. Taking bits of its silk to measure parts of her chittering notes to itself as it goes. She can't help but feel judged as it takes a few of the measurements "I-oh yes I suppose that is the quickest way about it." She is not squeamish with animals of all sorts but even one like the young witch pales a little bit at a spider so big begins to crawl over her bare flesh. Even more so when its shaking its head after taking a chest measurement. "Uh ... I don't need anything too fancy. A dress ... or at least a skirt would be nice?"
Amethyst	"You Lunars are the best." Amethyst grins. She swims about, on her back, ducking under the water, swimming around Rishi like a fish. As for her and her nudity? She doesn't seem to particularly care. If anything she's happy to leave her clothes at the shore and just swiiiim. But she might not be looking forward to what's going on there with Frostie. She giggles and settles only for a moment to watch her friend and the spider's shinanigans.
Rishi	Rishi's eyes go sharp and her nose lengthens for a moment as she takes a deep breath, *bounce* before going back to normal. She gets a sly grin and leans over to Ammy and says very quietly, "You should tell her how you feel." Then she leans back and nods. "Yes, the blessing of the Ever Changing Moon IS the best one. This is a very deep truth, is it not?" Chirr grumbles as it continues taking measurements <The Mistress commanded an outfit and you will get nothing less than the best!> before continuing.
Hoarfrost	This is about the time the actual spinning of clothing begins. Some how in her mind the young witch imagined after the measurements that she would swim while the clothes where being made. The sensation of the spider weaving stockings onto her legs, biting softly to even get her to lift a foot so it can continue under the feet is not at all what she expected. Short but not immodest skirt ruffles forming soon after. Barely managing to turn with a look of distress on her face as she looks to her two friends. Her poor eyes where not ready for what they where about to see. Eyes going wide in barely contained panic for a moment between Rishi and Amethyst. Hesitating only for a moment she quickly spins about and away again. Looking down at her own chest with a sense of minor jealousy. Mostly just gay panic though.
Amethyst	"H-how I feel?" Amethyst whispers back to Rishi. "What do you mean?" It seems even Amie is oblivious to whatever it is. But that doesn't stop her cheeks from being red. And she waves at her friend that's quickly becoming more and more red. Amethyst doesn't realize just how red /she's/ getting. Well, /redder/, Amethyst's skin does have a constant pale-violet hue to it now, after all. And after the silks don'e being spun, she sighs, and gives Rishi a look before heading towards the edge of the water. And contently staying in the water. She might need a little convincing to get out (verbally or physically lifting her from the water).
Rishi	Rishi sighs and shakes her head, then grabs Ammy by the hand, pulls her out of the water, steers her in front of Frost and says "You are both in love." She gives Frost a look that says "is your nose broken?" then nudges Ammy forward. "Now kiss."
Hoarfrost	The stockings keep going up. The skirts aren't skirts at all more like coat tails. The dawning realization as the hip hugging pants a woven about her waist of what kind of outfit is being made here. That is perhaps the strangest feeling yet of the pants kitting about her person. "N-now hold on that's a bit ..." the top coming quickly there after defently made for a different sized woman than herself. "I don't think- ..." not even getting to finish before the hat is finished atop the head. "Okie I am digging the hat. What do you guys thi-" turning just as she hear the splashing of the water as both woman emerge. The frozen look of panic strikes her again. Deer in the head lights and it only gets worse as Rishi draws out the facts in clear un mistakeable detail to them both. "I-ah -oh..." her face is bright pink standing out impossible to miss on her albino pale skin. A hand coming to her nose unsure why the look and perhaps almost glowing brighter as the implications strike her. "Amethyst -I" she is shaking and not at all from the cool air. "I mean ever since we meet ." swallowing hard unable to believe she is about to come out and say it.
Amethyst	Amethyst's ears are flat against her head, her fingers running through her hair. Her face is solid red and it doesn't take anyone long to realize that she's sweating /intensely/. There's a whole pool of water forming beneath her. And then the wind blows and she shivers very intensely. She's about to just jump back into the water when the spider finds its way onto her, and she's stuck, naked, staring at her, her, aaaaaa she doesn't wanna admit it. A frozen water Dragon that's burning hotter than the sun. What a strange find, she clearly must be from the wyld.
Rishi	Rishi just stands there watching them both, smiling, while the spider continues giving you outfits that are the height of Malfean fashion.
Hoarfrost	Stealing a nervous glance to Rishi almost as if asking for permission to say in. Struggling internally against a few things. Nervously she playing with a bit of her long hair. "I mean I dunno if its love yet, but if you would give me the chance, maybe we can find out together?" reaching her hands out to take one of the Water Dragon's hands ever so tenderly giving just a little squeeze. Eyes meeting Amethyst's lost in them for a moment. She doesn't make a move to kiss, at least just yet. Somehow that feels presumptuous. Part of her still doubts that her friend even shares her feelings after all.
Amethyst	Amethyst is silent and still, finally frozen solid, she wagers. The spider is happily going to work and makes her jump. "<H-hey be careful there!>" And there's a response of how /neither/ of them have a good shape for these clothes. Amethyst looks at her- at Frosty, and sees her outfit, and there's this worry. She glances at Rishi, "Wh-what kind of style does she have? I just need a stronger tunic!" Yes distractions those are good and keep her away from the L word. Until Frosty brings Amethyst's attention back. And she looks away and sighs. "I," She stops, as tho needing to focus. An inner tug of war that finally ends with her anima coming into view. Fortunately, only at glowing level, so no flux yet. "I love you damnit!" She says frustratedly and ashamedly. "The moment I met eyes with you in my alchemy shop at /midnight/, and then the memories we shared, the uh, ah. I burned down my alchemy shop because of my love for you!" Weird flex. And much quieter, "also because I'm a dummy who shouldn't had doubted you."
Rishi	"I have been told this is the very height of Malfean fashion. But, should you wish something more ...grounded, Chirr cannot refuse my commands, no matter how much it groumbles about betraying its craft." she headtilts "...alternately, if you are not feeling entirely that your body is perfect, I could certainly make some adjustments there...."
Hoarfrost	"L-love?" It was a better response than she could have hoped for. Heart beating so hard she can hear it in her ears. Taking a single step forward before tossing her arms about Amethyst and about knocking the demon off in the process. Pulling always only too meet eyes once more. Taking the dive, she moves in for a kiss the pervious fear abated. "I love you too." She says ever so softly at last. Hoarfrost distracted in a moment looks down at her own clothes. Its as bad as she feared. "Oh-dear." Adjusting the top that feels like it is about to slip off. Which somehow seems more inappropriate than being naked just a moment ago. "I mean ... its not like I'm not grateful but I don't think I have the body for ..." Rishi makes the offer. There is a longer pause as she considers this. Arms crossing in front of her chest. "I ... yes? I mean ..." she looks confused exited. What is even this day?
Amethyst	It seems the spider has settled on making /padding/ for Amethyst's breasts. It mutters something else about ensuring that Amethyst looks good in the dress. "Alright that's enough. I just want some warm underclothes and a tunic." If looks could boil water. "My body is /fine/ in that department. Tho I wouldn't mind having my scales and my tail back... maybe even the other fins I had. But those fins meant that my limbs weren't strong enough to walk on land. Man I wish I could just, transform my sisters can." She grumbles. "That would solve /so many/ of my problems." And tho she doesn't say, the implicit 'I wish I was a Lunar' is there, but good luck actually getting her to speak those exact words. And then she's pulled into a kiss. She... didn't want to kiss. She was just frustrated and wanted to say it! But she accepts a little kiss. She giggles as the silk just kinda starts to unravel and soon leaves her bare again. "If I had some way to just be alright in the cold like Ms. Frost here, that would also be alright. Amethyst just goes and sits down at the edge of the pool. The venerable tide of feelings going through her, "Ugh, I just wanna punch something." And so she punches the rock. And the rock punches back. Her hand is very sore now.
Rishi	Rishi smiles at the admission and the skiss...though she is slightly sad for a moment. But it vanishes as she headtilts, considering. "Yes, I can certainly alter your form, if you wish Frost. I could also teach you you do it for yourself, should you so wish." she hrms... "Ammy... Do you wish a second form? Our mutable essence must allow us to gift such things....though I do not yet know how." She signs. "Always learning, one must be." She sighs. "If you cannot wait, there is always the Sorcery, yes? We can all work together to craft for you the form you wish and the power to change it." She gives Chirr a commanding look. <Go to her and give her the nice warm robes.> the spider looks at her, and she relents. <...Very well, you may give her the interesting under clothes. It shall make things interesting for Frosty later.>
Hoarfrost	"Whenever your ready Amethyst I can continue with the process of giving you back your old mutations. I can even give you resistance to the cold if you wish." The witch too has the power to make changes to the flesh just like Rishi. Till now it never occurred to her she could do that to herself. Even now she considers what she really wants. "I imagine we both can help you with that transition." Knowing there is nothing she can do for the kind of exalt her friend is. At least she can give her the body that makes her feel most comfortable. "She was working out transformation runes for a working the other day. I think she might want to change shape like us. Could we weave that over her?" Then the kiss feels a little awkward. There was a line crossed even she could feel when it happened and that just confuses the witch more. Left just kind of standing there hugging herself. Everything was a mistake! Trying not to look like a lost puppy in a really over the top costume. "I didn't mean-" She visibly flinches when the stone Is punched. Her own little look traded with Rishi. Very badly needing a distraction she kneels back to the spider. "I'm sorry I would like some changes as well? The stockings and hat are cute but I would really like darker colors, a -ah whole skirt? With ruffles? Maybe a little more coverage over the chest ... a little." She adds still blushing.
Amethyst	Not to be outdone by a simple /stone/. She's gonna show it who's boss as she punches it again and this time, it is the stone that cracks underneath her essence. And instantly she regrets what she just did. Her anima flares to life as her hand starts sculpting the stone, putting the fragments back together and smoothing it over like nothing ever happened. The distinct smell of fresh mud fills the air from the mixture of earth and water in her anima. "I... should learn to control myself better." Amethyst says, thinking that a good Dragon Steward wouldn't go around breaking nature just because she's mad. The nature doesn't deserve that. And she sighs and settles as the spider goes back to work. And she steadies herself with her /ideas/. "A glyph of transformation. If I could perfect it, with moonsilver as the base ink rather than iron-gull, and the help of you two, I might be able to shapeshift. Might be best to put it somewhere where other folks can't readily see it tho, if I'm going to be using moonsilver. It'd work extra nicely if I could get my hands on the gossamer my tattoos are actually made out of." So that's what gives them the prismatic appearance the memory glyph distinctly lacks when it's not in use. "I haven't yet gauged whether or not it's something I can do with this level of sorcery tho. Of course, I don't want to have /only/ one additional form, but, I think that's a good place to start with this sort of magic. In time surely I can find a way to grant myself more forms." Someone definitely wishes she was a Lunar.
Rishi	The spider grumbles about people that wouldn't know true art if it bit them and poisoned them to death, but does make the requested changes and you both find yourselves with the very nice, very comfortable, and very tough outfits you wanted. %r Rishi headtilts again. "We could go back to that place where we found the Sage Root and try to locate one of the Fae? They may trade such things to us that you could use in your inks." she hrms again. "Or... Hmmm.... I suddenly worry that we are teaching you the wrong lesson." She steps over *bounce* and touches the rock that Ammy has just shaped along with Ammy's hand. "This thing that you just did.... it is not a thing that we can do. As wonderous as the blessing of the Many Faced Moon is, it is not the answer to everything. There are things that your Dragon's blessing gives you that are yours alone. Do not feel like you must do things as we do them. Do things as you do them." She leans back *bounce* "Though, if you do decide that you simply must have our transformation magics, we will both certainly help you."
Hoarfrost	Hoarfrost lets the spider work off her this time. Returning the clothes politely for the alterations as she climbs back into the water. Happy to spend the rest of time together in the warm waters. A soft sigh of contentment. Watching the two interact for a moment in silence, just smiling as Rishi teaches a new lesson. "Rishi is right. You have the dragon's gifts. Your still learning what that is and what that means for you." Reaching over to the little basket she brought along and the sake. The basket's top becomes a little tray that floats in the water and on it she places a few sundries of food and pours out drinks. She has a whole picnic in the box ready to go. The sammiches are even cut into cute shapes. "I should have brought this out sooner. I meant this to be a bit of a party for your exaltation. We got kind of distracted."
Amethyst	"Maybe I should get my essence fever better under control before I go off on some venture that I don't even want." Amethyst says, looking at her own aura. She's still utterly fascinated by her own power, too. "The trouble is, everyone that could teach me to be a Dragon, hates your guts. And they'd just me for both my sorcery and my mutations. I'd have to get really lucky. The other day when me and Frost sat down with Tenken, I think history might've been made as for the first time in probably a hundred or ten years, we had a Lunar, a Solar, and a Dragon all working for the same cause." "And as much as the Immaculate texts help me sort out life lessons, it's /hard/ to sort the junk from what's actually useful. And, since I seem to be bonding with all of you the most, I just figured... emulating you would be my best path forward!" And quieter, "also i might be jeleous being an animal out here much be so much fun." And after her clothing is finished, she thanks the spider, politely removes it, and just dives right back into the water. She looks at the stuff in the picnic basket and smiles and hugs her love. "That's lovely of you. I, guess I never did pause to actually celebrate it did I."
Rishi	"Then let us have the party!" Rishi slides into the water, her hair streaming about her like an ebon curtain, as she plucks a couple of nibbles off the plate with her claws and pours herself a drink. "These do look quite lovely. Thank you for making them Frost, my sister. And Happy Exaltation to you Ammy, my new sister!" Rishi headtilts thinking as she sips and nibbles. "...before I found this place, I was very ...closed off. I had mot met many like us, nor many who appreciated and accepted my beauty. Here, I have become accepted and that has made me whole. Thank you both for this gift you have given to me." A thought strikes her. "...This did mean that I had to discover many of my tricks for myself. Feel out who you are, focus your essence on what you want, them you shall learn things Ammy."
Amethyst	"To my new sisters, to us finding a home here, and to the power of the five elements that courses through my veins!" Amethyst drinks to that, and settles in with various goodies. "And soon, i'll have the texts the monks don't show the public if I have my way. And I am slowly but surely figuring out and breaking the Immaculate Philosphy until it makes sense. In good time I'll be a mighty Dragon." She nuzzles against Frosty, quite happy with everything right now.
