As it fell, he nailed it with a crystal, frost forming completely over it before he caught it. "There you go." He said, handing it over to Nick. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, Nick's suit should really be able to get around this anyway, so it's probably fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They get less creepy when they're better charged, because then you can pick whatever color you want, rather than only black for maximum light absorption. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can decanonize the attempt if it wrecks any plans. @The Stormfather @J. Magi @AltonicKeys As night falls, Nick continues to lay down. "The light catching spread is pretty well insulated. SIMON will go around you guys, but if needed, you can go under the biofabric and stay warm." His two fan-like contraptions have been frozen, causing water to drip down them, and the sheet keeps growing outward.

His two fan-like contraptions have been frozen, causing water to drip down them, and the sheet keeps growing outward. Kaleb waits silently until he hears Nick's breathing steadying. Then he crawls over. He looks around nervously, a slew of dark memories flowing in his mind. He shakes his head, dispelling them as he pulls out one of his crystals and places it on Nick's forehead. He puts both his thumbs on the crystal, pushing it gently. It begins to melt away as a thin layer of frost, even thinner than that put on the rock or on Aki. The frost begins pulsing inwards, towards Kaleb's thumbs, as waves of golden light. He starts muttering words under his breath, not English words though. "Demon of the sun, depart." He commands. There is a flash of light and the frost pulls in, forming back into a crystal, but not the same blue crystal. It forms into one pulsing golden-red. Good. Kaleb thought. His exorcism would have drawn all the energy from Nick and his haunted clothes, pulling away the Sun Demon. He'd probably get a cold, but that was the price you paid for getting un-possessed. Kaleb yawned, laying down, and immediately starting snoring like a dying elk.

The Stormfather He/Him Posted August 15 Author Report Share Posted August 15 Quote Sorry, I was offline for a bit. Yeah, a fair amount of water condenses. Nothing happens for about 8 hours, so you can do anything you want. You do note that this is way longer than the past teleportations. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The suit is well insulated, and now he can't get it off, so Nick is not gonna be doing well. Also, would this have enough "magic" stealing to take SIMON's operating system and trap it in the crystal? Hmm. This procedure has interesting implications... Nick, asleep, suddenly feels cold. His eyes snap open, but he can only see through one of them. "SIMON?" he asks, but the speakers on his suit are cold and dormant. Beneath his now-deadly covering, he shivers violently. The outer layer above the clear eye covering begins to turn to black fuzz. "WHAT did you DO!" he yells, muffled by the mask. Around him, the other part of the suit, released from what keeps it in order, begins to grow wild. The channels into Nick's body, where the suit was feeding him nutrients, reverse, as his own calories are the only energy source left for everything but the outer layer. Nick, both eyes covered now, takes the ice covered rock and tries to pry off the mask, so he can breathe. Almost out of air, he rolls over, trying to wake up his companions. "HElp me." @J. Magi @The Stormfather Quote Well, congratulations Elan. You just essentially killed Nick. I'm gonna eat lunch, so this is my last post for at least an hour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would at least keep him alive until he could figure out something else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Stormfather He/Him Posted August 15 Author Report Share Posted August 15 A gust of wind sends sand spraying into all of your eyes. And then, a loud sound. Thump. Thump. Thump. Something was making the sound, not too far away. you hear the telltale rumbling that you've heard before, when the beastial worm passed, and you see another going past you. (This place was suggested by @RoyalBeeMage, and it's more of a joke than anything. Have you figured out where you are yet? It's a place from a book. Wait no don't say that, me, its not from a book its a completely original idea that is unique and different from the book who shall remain nameless.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Enter this host, demon of the sun." He muttered, hoping it would work. He said a few strange incantations, and a film of hot, humid air spread over Nick as the power left the crystal, reentering his body and suit, melting the ice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
