Noon light shone through the window pane with a golden gleam. The pristine mother of pearl floors glistened in the bathroom of Nikki's apartment. There was a part of her that had to admit, it was nice to be home. In the previous dimension she had not had a moments break and now attempted to relax before coming to terms with the impending crisis.
Her clothes were far from clean. The challenges with Akron had left her quite a mess. Into a heap she piled her clothes to the side. Bloody and torn she was happy to be rid of them.
Stepping into the shower Nikki turned two knobs. One operated a rainfall shower head and the other a regular shower head. Warm water poured out and shocked her body. It was a wonderful feeling to be getting clean again. The blood and sweat of fighting was washing away even if the dilemma with Akron still filled her mind.
Closing her eyes and holding her breath Nikki immersed her face in the water. The Necrons came to mind. She had read the reports that awaited her and was fairly caught up. As she washed her body she wondered if maybe a way had been overlooked to give this race feeling again? Looking at the soap on her arm a pang of empathy hit her. It was such a gift to feel. What if Akron didn't actually feel as deeply about her as she thought?
Nikki shook her mind loose of such an idea.
Rinsing the conditioner out of her hair, she was finished. With the water off she grabbed the towel over the glass door and proceed to dry off and wring out her hair. Maybe Cyber could come up with something to help the Necrons feel again? She mulled the idea in her mind.
Then there was Sarris. Something was awfully wrong with him. She almost regretted her berating now that Jay was back. Brushing out her long hair she decided not to check in on Sarris alone. There seemed to be new Champions of the Golden City. Perhaps it was time to make some new acquaintances.
Fully dressed Nikki exited her bathroom and crawled onto her bed. A nap would be nice. Even if it was a short nap. Freddy came to mind and she wondered how the music box was doing. Her mind wandered to Akron and she weakly smiled at the thought. She really wanted to believe Oshirik.
Yawning, Nikki thought about Akron's actions and behavior. It had hurt her feelings. Still as she lay in bed falling asleep she began to forgive Akron

Edited by Lionheart: 5/23/2015 2:38:47 PM*A shadow is cast over a certain amount of the room as you sleep... whispers and gleaming eyes watch you with both caution and interest darkly* "A box stronger than all of time, Bring back what solely once was mine.." *The whispers repeat the chant quietly...repeating over and over again*
-
She awakes and looks into the corner slightly confused.
-
*The whispers continue on, but a shadowy figure barely visible stands there, arms crossed...*
-
She retracts in caution, but remains on her bed. Her eyes narrow at the figure. "Who are you?" The tone of her voice commands a response.
-
*The figure steps forth, it is freddy... but speaks with a voice that is not of his own* "Hello, Nikki... "
-
Sitting back to Freddy's emergence from the shadows, Nikki is unsure of how to take this. The man in her room oddly enough looks exactly like Freddy. The voice though does not belong to Freddy. "You seem to know my name, but I don't believe we have met before."
-
"I am an enemy and a loyal friend...." *Freddy steps forth and looks at his hands*
-
She moves to the opposite side of the bed and gets up. "Enemy and a friend? Quite the opposites are they not? Care do explain? Do explain."
-
"What is there to explain?" *Freddy looks at his hands with interest, then at you, changing the subject* "It's been a while since I last had a body... Freddy had no idea who was hiding within himself..." *Freddy twitches*
-
Her face turns grave. "What are you?"
-
"What am I? Young girl, I am a God.." *Freddy's face turns into a nasty grin*
-
"Hmm there seem to be a lot of gods around. Who am I supposed to believe?" She crosses her arms and displays an unamused stare.
-
*The God gives you a sly smile* "How has your day been, Nikki?"
-
"Wow you have a funny way of maneuvering around my questions. What do you want? And what is wrong with Freddy?" Seriously she points her questions at this mysterious man.
-
"What I want? I want the music box... That is all.. As for your beloved Freddy, he's in the apothecary's chambers... In a deep slumber only he can escape from..." *the God fiddles with his outfit* "How do you mortals fit in this clothing?"
-
"Just the music box? And you came to me for this? Maybe I'll just keep it. It seems to be causing a lot of trouble. I'll just treat you lot like a bunch of children and take the toy away until you all can play nice."
-
Edited by Lionheart: 5/23/2015 5:30:38 PM*the God closes his fists* "CHILDREN?!" *his voice bellows and he speaks in a furious tone* "THAT BOX WAS RIGHTFULLY MINE!"
-
"Really?" She stays calm despite his change in demeanor. "Well I'm not sure whether I believe you. Honestly speaking you are quite the shady character. No name, enters without permission, yells at a lady. Temper, temper oh... Wait what was your name?"
-
*The God puffs and straightens his outfit* "You have quite the nerves, Nikki." *He takes a step back* "My name is lost with time, but I am known only as the Nightcrawler" *He looks around* "Any more questions?"
-
The change in tone from the god caused Nikki to ease up on him. Her face and voice softened to reveal her kind nature. "Nightcrawler?" Her voice plays with his name thoughtfully. "I suppose. I would be concerned with Freddy's welfare and why Freddy gave the box to me and not you?"
-
"He has his reason, which I most certainly despise him for" *the god takes another step back*
-
She thinks. "Ok what exactly will you do with the music box if I am able to acquire it?"
-
*The God studies you* "Put it back in its rightful place... in the ni- the location is none of your business..." *he twitches once again* "Your friend is fighting back... I have enough time to grant one more question"
-
"How did you come to control or inhabit Freddy's body?"
-
*Nightcrawler twitches even more* "It was simple, he-" *He clutches his head* "Im afraid I have no more time, young one..Freddy has control again..." *nightcrawler jumps into the dark corner and as if it never happened, he was gone...Leaving an eerie silence lingering in the air*
