S'all good brosephalususukiskius. ALSO I find it fun that this thread was started long enough ago that the first post claims SoSu. 8D
Though the urge to dance was enough to make her limbs twitch here and there and her eyes followed the movements of the rhythm she saw and felt more than heard, the hybrid remained still, smiling and laughing with the gray-hued woman even as she spoke tricking and treachery. Discordia nodded her addle-brained understanding and smiled broadly. I would rather be tricked than for you to be a ghost, she said. Her tail wagged placatingly, and she still smiled her happiness. There was still something different about the stranger, no matter what -- perhaps it was not ghostliness or realization of her lack thereof, and perhaps it was simply the chemicals, but Discordia thought, at least, that she felt it.
Can you see the... what is the word? Discordia said, frowning. Halo, a quiet and sinister voice supplied from somewhere in the rear of her mind. Discordia did not recognize this voice and it frightened her, but she knew the truth of the answer. Halo, she finished, waving her fingers around her head. The light and color around living things? Non-living things had them, too, but Discordia thought the halos and trails were brightest around living beings, evidence of the magic within their life-force.
