Amethyst	Once again the little wyld-blooded Dragon makes her way through the forest and the snow into Hoarfrost's domain. She has some extra things this time, a leather pouch of some sort, and an extra pouch wrapped around what must be a flask. And there's a look on her face as she walks into Rishi's pavilion, a look of determination, strength, and hope. She also has an extra notebook with her, the one she's more or less dedicated to her most recent working of skin and transformation. An air is about, the coming conclusion of a great story.
Rishi	Rishi looks up from ...is that a bonsai tree she's tending? It seems ...odd. Regardless Rishi stands up quickly and smiles at Ammy "Hello Ammy! What is bringing you to my dwelling on this day?"
Hoarfrost	It has been a month? Two? Time is strange when the years have a different meaning than they do to a mortal. Stepping with the confidence that only can be gained from returning home, Hoarfrost returns to her cold forest. Hand brushing along the occasional tree as if to say 'hello'. The occasional beast coming to visit as well. The witch makes her way first to Rishi's palace. Eger to say hello to those she loves and missed very dearly. Coming in almost right behind Amethyst. "Hello you two I-oh Ammie you have a look of determination about you." Giving an earnest smile so happy to see her loves again.
Amethyst	First, there's a quick motion. Ammie all but /grabs/ Frosty and /runs/ with her over to Rishi, where she tangles the two up with a hug with her. "It's always lovely to see my loves." She nuzzles against both of them, and then she lets go to put some items on the nearby table: The bag, the bag with a flask, and the notebook. "It was easier than I expected it to be after all of this time." Amethyst unveils the flask, a rainbow colored liquid pulsing with energy and light. It almost seems to beat in sync with Ammie's tattoos. "A touch of the moonsilver ink you gifted to me, the ink I use for my own pens, and," She takes a silver capsule, the same sort she uses for spell casting, and just gingerly pulls it apart, revealing the various multicolored particles inside of it. They quickly evaporate in dramatic fashion, sending likee clouds of dust up from the table. "Usually this psudo-gossamer is too volatile to be sustained outside of these tins, but I found a way to infuse it inside of this ink. And so, I have a nearly identical ink to the very ink my tattoos are made from." And then she opens the bag. Inside is probably less disgusting to Lunars than to most. But that's a bloody, freshly skinned hide. "And then there's this. This was made over two weeks ago. I've /perfected/ the technique to preserve these skins. And one last thing." She opens her notebook now, and gathers a page foldered over itself. She spreads it over the table, it's about twice was large as the notebook itself. It's... diagrams written in the same dialect of old realm that covers her body, with a new rune present within a circle, 'Shifting'. "In all." She turns herself back to the Lunars, "I've completed my work." And she grins at Rishi and Hoarfrost. "And I was hoping you two could help me with the last piece I need. The new sign needs to be tattoo'd onto me for it to work. And, perhaps, you might be able to help me complete the rest of my tattoos. I have the ink! And a good example of what is written /on/ me." She gestures at the paper. And she looks to the Lunars, almost vibrating with excitement.
Rishi	Rishi looks concerned for a moment, before getting enthused in Ammy's excitement. "I would love to be helping you with this...though I should like to be looking at everything before we are starting. And...let us try drawing the ink upon you first. That way we can be sure it is not harming you. I can be pursuading your skin to be accepting of it when we are finished." Rishi pulls Frosty into a seperate hug for a moment, their faces coming close enough that Frosty could initate a kiss if she wished. After a few seconds Rishi smiles warmly at Frosty. "It is most joyous to be seeing you again. You will come assist us with this, yes?"
Hoarfrost	There is a surprised 'eep!' and laugh as the witch and drug along and into a flying leap of a hug into Rishi. Hoarfrost is a bit dusty from the road and has the smells of many places on her. The kiss is quickly and eagerly accepted from the other Lunar. Lips meeting in an unusually unstrained and passionate fashion. Clearly having missed Rishi. "Of course I will help." Face blushing lightly still as she pulls some hair out of her face "I've tattooed my share of fresh faced Lunars. One wild Dragonblooded should be no trouble at all." Giving a wink and turning to watch the ingredients and components brought forth. It takes her a moment to pick up on the context and her face lights up. "You finished it! Here I Thought that would be more of a pet project over the years, you managed in in only a few months. Amazing Amethyst."
Amethyst	"It wasn't easy to put everything together. But I've, at last, completed it. This was the hardest thing I've ever done, short of learning sorcery in the first place." The Sorceress-Alchemist just beams at her own accomplishment. "Of course we can try drawing on my skin first. If anything, it'd be the moonsilver that won't get along with my skin, but I should have diluted it enough for it not to be a problem." And Amethyst watches the passionate kiss between the two with a cool smile, feeling her own connection with Hoarfrost. There's perhaps a little bit of concern on her face, but perhaps she's still not fully gotten used to this three-way relationship the Lunars and Dragon have with one another. Or maybe she regrets not doing the kiss herself.
Rishi	Rishi sees Ammy's cool smile...and decides to warm it with a passionate kiss of her own. Once finished, she says to Ammy. "Now, please go return my gift to Frosty as you start removing your clothing. And relax yourself. We'll need to be tattooing at least some of the pieces of your real self as well." She points at a couch that looks like it'll be heavly to lie on. "Then lie there and we'll start painting." as Rishi sails on to review Ammy's work and prepare any other needed equipment. She has a few brushes of her own that might be helpful.
Hoarfrost	"You work sorcery like you have someone behind you with a whip. Hopefully you have some time to relax or simply enjoy your craft." Hoarfrost teases softly but seems seriously impressed. Going to the inks. Giving them a cursory look over and sniff. A little bit of silvery essence on the tips of her fingers a nail lengthens into a pointed tool for tattooing. She starts by testing just a small amount on her own skin. The blush deepens with Rishi's words. Pausing and looking up at Ammie curious if she would. "If your ready Amethyst ... I know you where not comfortable with kissing just yet. No rush for anything your not ready for." Smile warm and patient.
Amethyst	There's this burst of mist in the room as Amethyst is taken by surprise, her anima reacting along with her body as she flushes a deep red. She giggles and looks just a little loopy until she splashes herself with some water. "Woah." She says to Rishi. And then she looks towards Hoarfrost, and she didn't know it was possible to blush even /more/. She doesn't notice that her body is slowly adjusting to better blend in with the room. Distracting herself, she remembers to actually unpack her mutations, and so she takes a few moments to focus, as her webbing returns to her hands, her skin shimmers and forms these beautiful scales. Her eyes become slitted and she takes a deep breath. She's been naked a bunch of times before around these two, no need to be embarrassed this time. First go the belts, then go the boots and the hand wraps, then the itself comes off, leaving her with just her underclothes. Notably /not/ the same 'exciting' underclothes that Rishi's spider wove for her. And finally she's left there naked. One might forget that she also has a small tail that's just hidden away most of the time. And after that display with Rishi, she takes a deep breath again, wipes some water across her head, and goes to embrace Hoarfrost, holding her close, smiling sheepishly. And then she kisses her. There's less of an explosion of water this time, but it's safe to say that there's a few growing puddles of water on the floor now thanks to Amethyst. Amethyst just quickly composes herself, and goes over to the couch and relaxes. She did it. She kissed her love.
Rishi	Rishi quietly smiles as she goes over the patterns, trying to fully understand them, and get ready to trace them out on Ammy's body, along with the new ones for the additional tattoos she wished to gain.
Hoarfrost	The mist collects and freezes about the ice witch forming little fractal patterns across her own cloths and on the edges of her hair. Continuing to be patient as Ammie slowly undoes her cloths and mutations one by one until she is more or less undressed in two respects. "There isn't that more comfortable. Carefuly as Ammie goes to hug her does she set down the inks again and carefully embrace her love. The kiss this time is more measured letting Ammie lead in order to feel out her comfort. Leaning in to nuzzle the cheek of the other just before they part and she goes to relax. Giving a little look to Rishi and smiling. 'Thank you' conveyed through her usual body langue speak. "Any idea for patterns? This is going to be something that sticks with you. My natural inclination is to follow the flows of your body and essence, but I can try and put something particular artisticly if you like?"
Amethyst	"It's a little more comfortable." And the Dragon considers Hoarfrost's thoughts. "Well, uh, I thought that perhaps I would just have similar ones to my existing runes. But if you feel like you can better capture my essence in some other arrangement, be my guest."
Rishi	Rishi embraces Frosty in thanks for a moment as she brings over the equipment, placing it on a table where they can both reach. As she sits on another seat, Rishi head tilts for a moment, considering, looking over Ammy's body. "Hmmm... If we are trying this at the same time, we might be smudging things. Shall I start drawing first, then you can be checking it and adding your own touches, and so on, until we are agreeing? Then," Rishi's claws extend further, "We shall be beginning the tattooing?" Rishi smiles impishly "And then, when we are turning her over, you may be going first."
Hoarfrost	"We can continue based on your runes." Hoafrost says with a cheery tone offering her lap to rest Amethyst's head on while Rishi straddles her from behind. Slowly she collets up the dragon's hair making sure it doesn't obstruct the work. Smiling at Rishi she nods. "I think I can agree to that. A true blending of all three styles that way ." Ttying to hide her blush as she thinks about working on Ammie's front.
Amethyst	"It sounds like a good plan to me too." Amethyst says, resting and trying to relax. She's all sorts of tense and embarrassed (especially when Rishi mentions turning her over) and just a little scared. She knows she's in good hands but she always knows what ways this could go spectacularly wrong. Tho she wouldn't be doing this if she thought they couldn't be contained or dealt with or if the folks present were at risk of actually hurting her. There's a lot of trust here. And she does trust both of them. "I, think I'm ready for you to begin."
Rishi	And with a nod Rishi begins, four arms working together...but slowly, carefully, making sure every detail is placed perfectly. The thin and delicate brushes feel nice and smooth on Ammy's skin, like a loving caress, the ink feeling cool and light...yet there's also a sense of it quickening your essence, making it move in unfamiliar ways. It's a very strange feeling...but not bad? Probably? It seems both hours and moments before Rishi nods again to Frosty and the switch places, so Frosty can add or remove what touches she feels necessary. Rishi's design is complex, a lacework of shimmering silver filigree that follows the essence paths of Ammy's body and meshes with her existing tattoos...but also manages to look like a web of moonlight reflecting off the ocean at night.
Hoarfrost	As Rishi works Hoarfrost softly hums a tune. Occasionally running her hands through Amethyst's hair in a soothing kin of way. Having done this before there is a deep understanding of just how much trust it takes in the people around you to do this sort of thing. It is a joy to watch Rishi work. Every No-Moon has a different approach to tattooing. Rishi's is similar in how she makes tools from her claws, but different in execution. Taking what she learned as she switches with Rishi. Going over the flesh again adding some ink in places. Adjusting a line there. Mostly it is already perfect. "This may hurt as they tattoo's are still fresh on your back but we will need you to turn over so that we can finish." The witch says softly.
Amethyst	Amethyst shudders just a little when the tattoos are first applied to her, but then she calms, and focuses. It's almost like she goes into some sort of meditation as her breathing steadies and the tattoos stop rapidly changing color and instead stabilize into a pattern of colors that is continued bit by bit by the lunars as they apply the tattoos. And it's strange. This isn't like tattooing a Lunar where one solidifes the essence into a singular shape, but instead, it's more like opening her essence, tapping into the wyld spark and fae that lies within her, while also aligning it with her nature as a Dragon. Even so, the process ends up similarly working along her essence channels. And every time Amethyst stirs, little bits of her anima appear around the tattoos. But it's strange, it's not just the typical blue-violet color, it's slightly prismatic as well. One wonders just how much mental effort Amethyst is exerting herself. And then there comes time to flip over. The alchemist takes a deep breath as the tattoos ripple in energy, and nods. Once color changing slows down, she's ready to be turned over.
Rishi	Rishi assists Frosty in helping Ammy turn over, strong muscles now visible from her curvy flesh. Once Ammy is lying back down, Rishi pulls Ammy's head into her lap, stroking her hair and helping her stay relaxed as Frosty starts the ritual on Ammy's front.
Hoarfrost	Dipping a needle like claw into the ink Hoarforst re settles in as Amethyst turns over. Eyes meeting Amethy's and giving her a normal smile. She first traces a like with her off hand over Amie. Finding the half finished tattoos feeling how the essence flows off them. Working slowly and seemingly with less purpose. Beginning in one area and hoping to another without much reason. The methotical tap tap tap of the needle like claw into the skin. Essence and magic keeping it from stinging like a real tattoo. Ocationally she takes cool damp cloth to wipe away the blood forming on the surface. All the while her eyes take in the beauty of her love. After a while the seeming random patterns blossom out and growing into each other naturally. Knitting the original tattoo's together with Rishi's blending both styles just a little while having its own kind of mark to it. It seems both geometric and random at the same time. Yet if one lets their eyes relax it almost seems like moonlight refracting through ice.
Amethyst	Amethyst smiles at Hoarfrost, and then quietly mutters something in high realm, as she does when she prayers. And then she falls silent again into her meditation to try to distract her from the happenings. It is a certain feeling of solace and determination, to maintain her own stoicism and to ensure that her motions do not disturb the lunars working over her. Perhaps it's something about Amethyst's nature, but the tattoos seem to reflect one another thing, the sea at sunset, quietly churning, with either a storm or a calm laying in wait but never can any be too sure.
Rishi	Rishi changes places with Frosty, adding a few touches to Ammy's body, before running a series of cooling, healing fingers across all the tattoos, ensuring that Ammy's skin fully accepts the inks and heals properly without any scarring. She also does this for Ammy's old tattoos, especially the one on her hand she keeps slicing through, returning the skin to a plump and healthy state. One more flip to the back to help Ammy's flesh recover and then ....we can see if it works or if we'll need to remove Ammy's skin and try again later.
Hoarfrost	Its been hours. The essence use and physical exertion is exhausting but at last the tattoo's have been finished. Hoarfrost lounges against the couch and melts in a bit. A big yawn as she curls into Ammie. "Knitting fresh flesh is hard but easier than removing the tattoos bit by bit." Muttering in her tired state.
Amethyst	Amethyst finally sits up and relaxes. She is also exhausted, keeping cool while the Lunars went about doing their work. She even looks at her hand and the spot she so often slices herself, and tho it never looked particularly bad, it did look good. And then her tattoos flicker and shimmer. The energy around her darkens and oppresses more thoroughly than before, like the ocean weighing down around her as she focuses on making use of the combined total of her tattoos. She rises from the chair and looks around as she shapes the essence around her. Her anima flickers to life, but then something strange happens as her essence /surges/, throwing everything not nailed down away from her as it dances with an intensity she's never experienced before. And at its edges, there's this rainbow tint, a sign of her connection with her fae nature. There's no real direction, just shaping essence for its own sake rather than casting some specific spell. The knot of power unleashed by the combination of her tattoos is slowly constrained and settled until at last her anima returns to a more reasonable level. And she grins at the others. "I don't think /removing my flesh/ will be necessary, thank you." With another moment of focus, the gravity abates and the room feels normal again.
Rishi	Rishi has her eyes closed and has been letting her nose smell Ammy's power and essence. At Ammy's final words, she nods, opening her eyes. "You do seem to be all together and harmonious now." She lifts the skin off the table and holds it up. "Time, I am thinking, for the final test."
Amethyst	There's a motion and shapeshifter-to-be snags the skin. Ammie nods to Rishi. "A moment I've waited for a long time. Months of research, planning, testing, and finally I am here, ready. Before two children of the hidden moon, a silvered dragon is born." Amethyst relaxes and dons the skin, her tattoos shimmering and each of them forming the same brilliant moonlit blue of the Lunar's moonsilver ink. The skin knits itself together, as the alchemist melds into it. A small shimmering rainbow forms around the changing form, first a violet to flow into the new shape, red to breath life into the spirit, green to rejuvinate the body, blue to maintain the mind, and as it settles, a white to lock it into place. And with that, the shimmering slows, the glow fades back into her body, and Ammie looks up at Rishi with new eyes. And promptly pounces her, her fur a silky white, clearly this was a skin of a wolf of some variety. There's much licking and nuzzling. Not much in the way of speaking, but perhaps she'll figure that out another time.
Rishi	Rishi rocks back, catching Ammy and petting her. Rishi is beaming as she looks over to show Frosty...and sees that she's asleep. Rishi looks into Ammy's eyes and gestures over there, before putting her down and walking over to snuggle in next to Frosty, one wing partly covering them and one wing held up for Wolf!Ammy to climb in and snuggle down betwen them before being covered.
Amethyst	So this is what it's like to be petted. She likes the feeling, no wonder Frosty enjoys it so much. And she gives a nodnod, and carefully slinks over to Rishi, hopping up and nuzzling against Frosty. She gives Rishi another lick before settling down against them all. Maybe things are gonna turn out alright here. And Frosty is too cute while she's sleeping.
