01/18/10 [Clans #3] - Kish'Ta - She's a Bat

[Tapewolf]

And really, she's 24k years old. Who in their right mind is going to tell her she's too old to be wearing jammies?

Did she qualify for the OAP discount at the department store?

EDIT:
Or did she order one of her underlings to buy it?

[127.0.0.2]

I'd guess it's most likely she ordered someone to buy it. Still, the picture of a 24 millennia old, insanely powerful entity showing up in a costume store and meeky ... buying a costume has something amusing.

Maybe the manufacturer should have tried to make a deal?

The following nightmare full of indescribable pain and unthinkable tortures is brought to you by FoxTown Costumes - Bringing Fun To Families since 1875!

[Attic Rat]

We know that Kish'Ta came out of Amber's head...

But was she drawn, or did she just claw her way out???

Is the alternative any less amusing?

"You!"

"Y-yes, milady?"

"You are to go at once to Debenhams and fetch me three things: a small candelabra, some silverware and some red vixen pyjamas.  With a zip."

"Milady...?  D-did you say vixen pyjamas?"

"No excuses!  Go!"

[Naldru]

I don't see anything wrong with her taking off her face.  After all, don't women normally put on their best face in the morning.  And athletes are known to put on their game faces all the time.  However, it's important to keep track of it.  Losing face is embarrassing.

If any clan leaders out there want to gorge on pain, I know where they can have a feast at this moment.  You know how they tell actors to "break a leg".  Unfortunately, I was at Blue Mountain ski resort at the time.  My leg is now bolted together and looks like something from the Demonology 101 page.

[JackTheCubiWolf]

Jeez, seeing a face ripped off is not something you want to see first thing in the morning.

[Chakat Blackspots]

This sort of begs the question:  Is she an undead Cubi, and this is how she can do that?

[Anker Steadfast]

It's good to be the boss.

Does that mean she also have pink fuzzy bunny slippers ?

[Goatmon]

DO NOT WANT

[Anker Steadfast]

Aww, but fuzzy bunny slippers are so keen!

[AmigaDragon]

Jeez, seeing a face ripped off is not something you want to see first thing in the morning.

Yeah, wait until a few minutes before lunch.

"No excuses!  Go!"

For that matter, it could have been an impulse buy - she spotted them in a store, tried them on...

"Ooh! Me likes!"

...and she's been wearing 'em ever since.

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

...and she's been wearing 'em ever since.

... Do they bend?

[LionHeart]

You ask her.

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

Heh.

"Hey, was just wondering if the jammies bend. Also, do you do children's parties?"

[Mao]

Will it blend?

[Keleth]

Chuck Norris does not blend.

[Magic]

Jeez, seeing a face ripped off is not something you want to see first thing in the morning.

DO NOT WANT

I don't understand you guys. She's cute. I even want to see her whole natural look.

(Of course the guy whose childhood involved unflinching grinning, end to end, at scenes like the Indiana Jones face melt and the Aliens chestburster scene will be the only person disturbed and twisted enough to say that.)

Though on a tangent, surely she also has a stellar personality to match that beautiful face, no?

[AmigaDragon]

Will it blend?

Bah, beat me to it. 

[StrawberryPistol87]

i remember something from a vampire comic (yes those evil gnawing emo wannabes that can kill you) i think that vamp has no skin so he was in a tube with special fluid.
and has too choose a living human being for his skin.
anyway that human being was killed, and they filled his organs with other tubes. (probbably using it for something else) anyway. the vamp used his skin.
and only can '' live'outside the tube with that skin covering his whole body for at least 3/ 6 hours. i dont know what method kish'ta is doing. then again.
mayby a mythos helps her to 'survive'

[AmigaDragon]

Going by Amber's comments on the previous page of this thread, I'd say the gore bwtween faces is some kind of illusion, whether stage makeup, magical or dream-projected imagery. She needs nobody else's skin to survive.

At first I was thinking her eye sockets were empty, but on closer examination, that's either black eyeballs (or contacts) or she's wearing shades. I can see what may be the arms of the glasses.

Halloween is probably one of the best holidays for fear affinity clans, so yeah, probably.

<OT> I could imagine it's actually their least favourite holiday. Think about it: When would you freaked out most by people pulling scary stunts right in front of you? On Halloween when everyone and their dog is walking around as ghosts/zombies/etc or on any other day of the year when it would come completely out of the blue? </OT>

Perhaps Halloween would be a treat for them, instead of regular fear, a little fear flavored with frivolity.

[Arcblade]

Will it blend?

Bah, beat me to it. 

I was going to say that too, but decided against it for some silly reason.  Alas. 

What is that black thing sticking up behind her?  At first I was going to guess some kind of head spine, but that seems a bit silly on a cubi.

I think it's just her left (for us) back wing, which you don't actually see except for this piece.

[ANTIcarrot]

You know, it says something about how much time I spend at FA when I look at this picture and think:
I wonder if the Nightmare clan and the Obscure Fetish clan ever get their assignments mxed up?

Uh-oh, It looks like I have some compatition for getting a date with her.

[Shachza]

Huh.  My mind just flew off in like 30 different directions.

Then again, even hideous monsters like to get a little lovin' every now and again.  Cuddling must be awkward though; you'd ruin a lot of couches with a face like hers.

I'm willing to bet the gore is just a fabrication.  Either shapeshifting or illusion.  I highly doubt she'd walk around dripping blood all the time.  Well, unless she really wanted to, anyway. 

[Alondro]

*Charline hmms*  Fear, eh?  She must be my Mom!  MOOOOOMMMMYYYY!!  *hugs!*

Ugh... this could also mean I'm related to Ink, since he seems to like fear too.   Well, they do say siblings fight alot. 

[Arcblade]

Y'know, now that I look at her carefully, she *does* very much look like a bat, face-wise.  If you crossed a bat with a naked mole rat for the skin tone, anyway.  (Wing style is obvious, but fairly easy to discount since many wing styles are similar.)  Bats are stereotypically scary, too.  (See "Batman Begins" for a decent example.)  So I guess that makes perfect sense.  Her coloring is perfect, too.
