[Fairy Services! They bring her a package shaped like a sword. Upon opening it, Evangeline will find a sword that has some monster-related references, but also has the flower she always wears on her head, on the handle and scabbard.
The message says]
Happy early birthday. I know it's really early, but I wanted to make sure I got it to you, since who knows how busy things get near Valentine's Day. I hope you like it and let me know if I need to make any changes. - Jean
[ooc: "monster-related references" up to player's choice :3 go as wild as you want.]
[Rinku saved her money from that big reward she got recently! Here's a monster eye bracelet. Sorry the tag has "nee-chan" quickly crossed out and replaced with "Evangeline" after Rinku got the party invitation, it didn't occur to her to just get a new tag.]
[Evangeline might be able to hear Barghest's footsteps before she even knocks on the door. They're louder than usual, as if she's carrying a great weight.]
[Naturally, Mary was far too young to be invited to Evangeline's 18+ birthday party, but as soon as she started hearing people mentioning "Evangeline's birthday" around and about Mary knew she had to make something for her friend! Because it was important to give your friends gifts on their birthdays, right?
Either way, Evangeline'll be getting a call on what was hopefully the right day.]
Evangeline~~ It's your birthday isn't it? I made something, so I want to come give it to you.
[Lucifer walks in and smiles. He hangs up his jacket at the door but not his hat. He does set the cane down at least. He looks around and takes in everything. The bookshelves. The books. The décor. He walks over to take a closer look at the names of the books on their spines.]
Quite the collection, I see. You enjoy knowledge. [There is a certain level of pride in his voice. He likes seeing this.]
Quite the lovely home you have. Thank you, again, for inviting me.
Sssssssooo, I was wondering if you had like five minutes to maybe answer a couple questions? Like I don't wanna bug you if you're busy or anything! It's just uh... Given your hobbies? I figure it's the kinda stuff you might know a thing or two about.
[So, Medusa's plan had worked exactly as intended. She'd pushed herself far enough fighting that she'd been able to unleash her full strength. Something that was far from human, but- but it was still her. She still had her mind, restless though it was.
Fear made way to anger made way to restlessness made way to something she couldn't quite place. Something that perhaps did not have a name, or that was a mix is many things.
...Once she'd gotten to the outskirts of the city, she called Evangeline up.]
Evangeline, ah... are you safe? Have you been fighting?
[After wrangling Shadow and picking up a couple pepperoni pizzas, the two hedgehogs had made their way over to Evangeline's place hoping to cheer her up after the whole... murder monster mom thing. Sonic was carrying the pizzas, and instead of waiting for Shadow to knock on the door, he did it with his shoe. Because he can't do anything the simple way.]
Ooookay Shads, let's try to keep things upbeat. She seems like she needs a pick-me-up, y'know?

Re: Shortly after Evangeline's back from the dead post
[Shadow rolls his eyes as Sonic just kicks the door instead of waiting a few seconds for him to knock. Knowing Evangeline, he just opens the door himself. He's sure it's unlocked. It usually is.]
[Lucifer's transformation might have intimidated anyone else, but it just makes Evangeline's eyes sparkle as she takes a hold of his hand and near pulls him along to her bedroom.]
Somehow I don't think I'll be very hard to tempt.
[Once they're in her room, she settles back on the bed, tugging him down on top of her.]
[Lucifer eagerly follows her. He knows she loves this form. She loves her monsters. Beasts that most would shun or run away from. Not Evangeline. He purrs as his tail wraps around one of her legs as he moves over her. His wings extend as he kisses her hard. His clawed hands slide up her body, using his powers to just magic away her shirt first. Then the bra. She won't be needing those after all.]
Tobias had been doing his usual rounds post food, flying around and watching people in the city. Then he spots someone in a fight.
This is not predator or prey. Not the usual kind anyway. This is someone - probably an off worlder like himself - in a fight. He watches for a minute, gaining altitude and getting higher in the sky.
Then:
Tsseeeeeer!"
Wings fold themselves back, talons tucked against his chest as he goes into a dive.
< Watch out! > He warns the person below.
He lets out another hawk cry as his talons rack out, slashing the monster on its face.
Evangeline is a competent combatant - she'd have to be, to have survived this long. She swings her monstrous scythe around with a practiced ease, focusing on taking out the monster in front of her.
She hears a hawk's cry, and then a voice in her mind, and narrowly dodges out of the way of a second monster right before a hawk digs its talons into it.
"Thank you!" she calls out. She'll be more friendly in a second, right now she's still focused on the fight - she takes a fierce swing at the first monster to cut it clean in half, then turns to face the one engaged with the hawk.
hey uh this is sort of a heads up I got my head majorly fucked up via cursed bullshit so I might not be around as much and if I am I might be acting weird sorry
Rinku... I appreciate you trying to help, but also, when I was poking at my cursed book, I was in the Research Center, with other people who could monitor me and make sure I was okay?
[ Unseen from Evangeline's end: the sheer amount of times Jyoti retypes this message before landing on a version that's not so immediately vulnerable it makes her uncomfortable. ]
