Rishi	While the lines have been tapering off there are still enough people coming in every day that getting time alone in the temple had to wait for nightfall. Rishi has guided everyone in, through the recently replaced and much nicer looking door and mural on the wall outside, through the long, narrow hallway, and into the temple proper. The moon shines down through the occulus onto the fountain, the silver light bright on the blue and green mosaic tile, giving a small amount of light to the room. Rishi goes around lighting the lamps and soon the place is bathed in light.
Amethyst	Amethyst walks along with her love, with a nervousiness that's uncommon in the usually-so-certain alchemist. As she steps towards the fountain, she lets all of her mutations out too, glancing at her wings and tail and the scales that have come to be so. The last time she was in such a position was when Rishi was testing things, and this was the form she was given. "I'm not sure what I'm expecting out of this." Amethyst admits, "But I feel like your sorcery has the best chance to help me find some sort of peace with myself about what I want to be."
Black Pearl	Black Pearl has come in as well, standing poised as always, in this calm and still. Serene. "Perhaps I will try as well, but not tonight. Unless you want me to join you in the pool. Say the word, and I'm with you," she says. "After all, we really should be...similar in appearance, right, hearthsister?" She smiles to Amethyst, and then beams to Rishi. "I know...I could have my old form back, undo what the fae did to me, but...maybe I should embrace more."
Rishi	Rishi still looks somewhat troubled even days later, presumably due to her chat with Ammy and Fudou, but, here, you can see her old grin mostly return. "It is being better for the pool if only one person is doing the bathing at once. Less of the confusing." Rishi hugs both of her loves. "This pool...it is for helping to be knowing your heart. What form you are really doing the wanting of inside yourself. If you are wanting your old body, it can be helping you to be getting it back. If not, it will be giving you what you are wanting now. Whatever it is...if you are not loving it, if it is not doing the fitting, you know I can be giving you the ~personal touch~ later." The way she says that runs thrills up your spines.
Amethyst	Amethyst hugs. nestling into Rishi just a little. "I want to figure myself out before I want you to try to copy me." She giggles nervously towards Pearly. Then she looks back to Rishi, shivering just a little at the thought of her personal touches. "So I just..." She approaches the pool, "Disrobe and jump in? Is there some particular process to making the magic work?" She starts taking off her clothing either way, not like this'll be the first time any of them've seen Ames nude.
Black Pearl	There is a faint ripple almost to Salara, and she seems more...present. Iridescent a bit, and she smiles as she watches the other two. "Of course. And I...had better not join you in the pool. Not tonight. another time we can see what happens when more than one is in at a time." She smiles and watches the pair.
Rishi	"You are needing to be the fully immersed before it is doing the working. And...you will be needing to be most relaxed. Do not be doing the fighting of the pool with your own essence of the water." Rishi pulls Pearly into her arms, wings shrouding her slightly. "If you are wanting to be trying it, my mate, you are only needing to be asking. ...Though, I am still not being sure that turning yourself into the water of the pool is being ...completly safe."
Amethyst	"Sometime." Amethyst says to Pearly. And she listens to Rishi as she losens the last of her clothes, leaving them all in a neat pile nearby. Then she turns around. Stepping to the edge, Amethyst tries to steel herself, but then considers. She won't be fighting the wyld, instead, it'll be the magic of one of her mates at work. So instead she tries to relax, doing a breathing exercise to calm her turbulant essence. Then, she steps into the waters, and submerges herself. There's that familiar touch of Rishi's transformative magic, but this time, instead of simply washing over her, it's as though it wakes something up deep inside of the alchemist. Her tattoos glow more vividly as she shifts in size and shape, subtly but surely. It's curious to see the dragon's shape shift, but at first it doesn't quite settle on any one thing. Male or female, fae or dragon, human or mutant, until eventually it settles on one particular form not too different from the one she stepped in with. As she surfaces, Amethyst doesn't look like she was changed all that much at all. But she's grinning as she climbs out. A thousand shapes she took while in that bath as the wyld essence in her blood was ignited, and before both of them she just focuses and in a flash of prismatic anima she looks almost like a replica of Pearly, then like a smaller Rishi, then like some variety of aquatic fae, complete with the sorta inhuman visage the Raksha are known for. "I think it worked, but, not in the way we thought it would."
Black Pearl	Salara watches intently, eyes gleaming a bright blue, as her skin becomes mottled in scales. A look of...worry? Apprehension? Something, on her face but then relaxation when Amethyst comes out of the pool. Despite her poise, for just a moment, she is slumped in relief, before standing up and with a smile on her face. "Well...it certainly looked...flashy!"
Rishi	Rishi gives Pearly a hug, then goes over to examine Ammy. She sniffs a couple of times, and tilts her head, her hair swaying like a liquid waterfall, eyes closed, clearly thinking. "...Most Interesting. It is seeming like you are being the full shifter of shape now. If you are wanting the lessons, I can be trying to be helping." She pokes Ammy. "Everything is still feeling the good, yes?"
Amethyst	Amethyst certainly looks like something from the wyld, and even smells a little bit like a fae. She looks down at herself, contemplating, "I... I guess this was the answer I was looking for all along. Of course I wans't comfortable in just a /single/ shape." Amethyst states, "I needed more than that. Tho, changing shapes rapidly like that is tiring." "But yeah, I, I think I'm a true shapeshifter now. And I remember this form, though, I can't quite remember /why/ I remember it." With another moment of concentration, she reverts back to her old self. She leans against Rishi. "We'll need to explore the limits of my new power." "Heh, who knew that it wouldn't be through intense sorcery but instead through my heritage that I'd gain the power to shapeshift proper? At least, I don't think this is your working, is it?"
Black Pearl	Looks at Amethyst, walking around the pair, before coming to embrace both of them. "That is...truly amazing to see," she says, unmistakable longing in her voice. Arms squeeze both, and she presses in to both of them. "I look forward to seeign more and exploring this with both of you." She smiles to Rishi, "I am so glad I have both of you, or I think I would be very envious or jealous! As it is...I feel incredibly lucky."
Rishi	Rishi hugs Ammy. "I am thinking it is just being my sorery that was doing the awakening of the power that is being your own. Even if you are being the Dragon, you are also having the power of your mother. Do the mixing of that with the essence of the water you are having... It is doing this." Rishi welcomes Pearly into their embrace. "I am being most lucky to be having you both." She smiles at Pearly. Then says to Ammy "Salara and I, we finally did the figuring out of the magic that you and Frosty did." She squeezes Pearly tighter. "I am being her Sister of the Hearth and she is being my Mate." And Rishi gives Pearly a deep kiss. "We will all be needing to be doing the experimenting with these links we are now having between us. Maybe we can be finding something so you will not be needing to be the jealous, Pearly."
Amethyst	Amethyst chuckles at Pearls, and hugs. Hugs for all. "My latent powers sure have a way of taking their sweet time to unfurl." Amethyst grumbles. Then as Amethyst listens to Rishi, her eyes grow a little wider. "Ooooooh right! You now are bonded together like me and Frosty! And me and Pearly." She gives Pearls a quick peck on the cheek. "And maybe Salara also has latent powers left to be unlocked after our encounter in the wyld." She gently brushes a hand over her love's scales, "It certainly left a pretty mark." She chuckles.
Black Pearl	"Like I said! I am not jealous. Lucky." Salara nods to both of them. "And perhaps I do. Perhaps I do not. But..." She opens her mouth to say something, then shuts it and smiles. "No, that's not for tonight. Tonight is to celebrate. And honestly, with this ability...I think you will understand more of what I have been teaching you about disguise and theft and the like," she says to Amethyst. Rishi gets a warm smile as well. "I have unlocked /some/ things, I think. Certainly they seem more linked to the Wyld than to the Water..."
Rishi	Rishi headtilts "Oh? What new powers are you having, Pearly?" Rishi hugs both her loves then says "but yes, we should be doing the celebrating! What are you both wanting to be going and doing?" Rishi starts to say something, then considers. "...And Pearly will be doing the paying."
Amethyst	Amethyst considers, "I haven't had southern cuisine in a little while, and I think I know a place that's open well into the night." Amethyst shifts back to her usual human shape, "And maybe I should hold off on the more interesting substances until we're back in private somewhere, but I definitely could eat somethin' after all of that."
Black Pearl	"Well, there are some heights of beauty that the dragon-chosen cannot scale. Others, well...so far, they have all been rather private." Hearing the suggestions, she chuckles a bit. "Yes, I can pay, and we can enjoy the more exotic things later. And we do have those silk ropes...Rishi, did you ever try those with Amethyst?"
Rishi	Rishi snugs Pearly. "No. I have been doing the waiting and the not pressuring. Ammy knows that if she is ever being interested, I am being here." She grins widely. "But she may not be knowing just how much of the teaching you have been giving me. And the practice we have been doing." she headtilts. "...I am not being sure we have done the trying of it on the ceiling though."
Amethyst	"If anyone can be more pretty it'd be us two. I think I'm making a habit of defying the 'limits' of what a Dragon-blooded can do." Amethyst grins. But at the mention of ropes, Amethyst flushes deeply. "I uh, still haven't gotten around to doing those sorts of things yet. I've been uh, very busy and stuff." She nods at Rishi, "I'll uh, I'll do them when I'm ready. Whenever that is." "What exactly have you two been-- you know, I don't wanna know right now. Anyhow uh, shall we head out?" She asks, getting her clothes back on.
