"Hey! HEY YOU! It's easy to yell at someone from the shadows. Come out here and face us like a 'man'!" Piper yells.

The figure strides not towards Piper Or Jonas (who is standing up) but rather the pile of clothes

Piper skips in between them. "I don't THINK so!" She lowers her head and will butt him if he proceeds closer! Her horns are short, but sharp...

Jonas moves to join her...

And Piper has to head butt the nightmare... "Ow, this one of your little slut friends? You don't get to talk to her anymore. She's not welcome. I said so"

And the nightmare tries to back hand Piper, only to have his arm caught by Jonas

"Slut?" Her eyes narrow, and she starts lightly searching through the clothes pile. "Sunny, do you think it's OK to refer to any lady that way? Honestly? What do YOU think?" Something she probably wasn't asked often, or at all, by this menacing memory.

"he's always saying that... he's so scared he might be betrayed and I tried to.. no I DID stand by him but it was never enough and he called me things..."

"Untrue things" Jonas says

"Unfair things." She adds. "We're here now to back you up. What would you like to say?"

The pile of clothes parts like the red sea, and an angry nocker in a glorious rainbow dress shines like the sun had decided to go supernova "We're divorced! What I do is not of your business anymore! And I am GREAT at clothes making, you Farblunjet overgrown babyman with mommy issues! Take your slurs, take your insecurities that you use to stab innocent people with and shove them up your ass side ways with a pine cone full of needles you Krechtzing narcistic Farbissen!"

ANd the cloth material wraps about the ngihtmare chimera, bright yellows, brillaint reds, rose pinks... and begin to squeeze it! Choking it, yet cutting it as well

It screams... and then... is gone!

Leaving the woman panting with exertion , tears in her eyes, but also delight "I have been wanting to tell him off for YEARS"

Lovely dress by the way

She blinks and looks around , the euphoria of her release dawning on her and ... "What the furking hell is going on?"

Piper glances to Jonas, pulling a scrap of denim off one of her horns. "Um. Hi?"

What she thought was a scrap of denim has been changed... looks like she was wearing a hat!

"Hi.. hey! That hat. I remember making that design, but I don't have hat making skills to be sure I'd have gotten it right... .. by the way, are you some kind of she devil? "

"Would a she-devil be this short??" She grins. "Think about it, they always are TALL, leggy, Jessica-Rabbit physique, and tatas for days..."

don't respond Jonas thinks to himself It's a trap. That's a trap

Sunny SNORTS at that "Ha... you're alright..." Then "Seriously though, I am seeing shit without the benifet of LSD"

"More that you're seeing what you always saw on in your deepest psyche, or dreams. Only now you get to live the dream as reality. Ain't it grand?" Piper straightens the hat to a rakish tilt. "I'm what they call a Satyr. Hooves, horns, and big feels. My lover there is a Troll - they're loyal, trustworthy, and big everything else."

"And.. you're probably feeling more at ease with yourself, more comfortable with the strangeness than you ever did normally" He looks about "Lots of Yellow"

"Name's Sunny, you figure out why that is. I LIKE yellow" She says with a mmph "It's bright.. and geezus you are tall"

"Jesus was probably short, by Modern North American standards actually" The troll says Deadpan, "As far as I know, he wasn't a troll, though it would be neat if he was."

Sunny gives that look of 'not sure if to take seriously or not'

Piper snorts in amusement. "Sunny is a lovely name, and not just because I'm a Cali-girl. Listen, you're going to see a lot more than just a little blue skin and horn action now that you're on the other side of the rainbow. We'll want to introduce you to the crew."

"If you tell me I'm a furrkin wizard, harry, I may think I need to cut down on the potter books"

"Not a wizard. You're a Fairy, Harry."

"Like tinkerbell?"

"More like a Changelingg, fairy spirit, human soul... in onne body. You're a Nocker"

"A nocker?" she raises a brrow "What in all of whaever is holy..."

Jonas explains it to her, carefully, and.. saving Piperr the worry she'd get stuck being lady expositio. After 15 minutes, Sunny has the basics

"That... explains so much"

"I mean" Suny goes on "I always felt the urge to keep my hands busy. I never know what to do with them when I talk"

"Are you sure you're not just Italian?" She says with a grin, then holds up her own hands. "Kidding, kidding. Nockers create. I would probably go mad if I didn't have a song in my head at any given time..."

"It's true" Jonas nods "She's actually peeked on me in the shower and looked absolutely baffled I don't sing in it. "

"Singing sounds BEST in the shower!!"

"Yours does" he agrees

"Mmm you could at least HUM for her, you know?" The Nocker woman smiles, then looks around "Oh Kerisht.. what a mess" Well, the good news is she has lots of resources

chimeical silks, pleathers, satinns, and denim. a little heavy on the Yellow, Gold, Red and Orannge.. SUNN colors
