pixie tricks

[herowalksalone]

Hope has been experimenting with his new-found power: demon summoning. And honestly, it's pretty easy. All he has to do is shout "Pixie," and a small bird-sized winged woman appears. However, Pixie is a mischievous fairy...

She likes to fly away from Hope during training, causing him to chase after her through the streets of Limbo. So if you see a young man running and likely yelling "stop" or some variant thereof, you can try to flag him down or help him out.

Yet it seems that every time she flies by the large rusted fountain, she stops to flit around and investigate. What's drawing her to this place? Something about sensing strong energy nearby...

Pixie has also been spotted zooming around Limbo, snatching items from people in an attempt to "have fun." If you had something small in your hands or maybe even in a pocket and it's suddenly gone, look for the trail of pixie dust or listen for the high-pitched giggling from behind, because there's your thief. (And yes, squishing her is allowed. She'll be fine. Eventually.)

[ Strong energy aside, there is something a little unusual about the fountain.

A black handprint on the side of the fountain, upside down, like someone planted their hands on it from inside the fountain. It's smudged and a little smeared, and kind of unsettling to look at – the black is SO black, that it almost looks like a small void in the world rather than a handprint, aside from a few faint flecks of deep purple, like the glitter of pneuma. ]

[Pixie, being a demon, picks up on the odd handprint fairly quickly. She flies back to Hope to get his attention, then leads him over to let him see what she's found.

He can't help but cringe at it -- smeared handprints are never a good sign -- but what is this black stuff? It's too dark to be blood. Unless it's very old, but if that was the case the others would have noticed it by now... Against his better judgment, Hope reaches out for the handprint to check if it's wet or not.]

[ It's not wet – in fact, it appears to be kind of powdery? Actually, on closer inspection...

It seems to be pneuma, the substance Executors have in place of blood. But something's sort of odd about it. Pneuma as a rule is sort of pearlescent and sparkly like weird holographic glitter, this handprint is gritty and black. And it feels... grimy, somehow. ]
