Djinn One: Mission Failure.

[Capxeno]

The Marid which the leader had taken along was nearly ancient and had been part of the twenty chosen crew of the Xuna. His illusion appearance's eyes soften as he relaxed into the sheet. With a light smile he replied, "Beautiful storms of color and light, nothing solid in sight. It truly is home."

The Marid's settlement was finished. It had shallow pools meant to allow them to sleep out of physical form and keep their collection of water for illusions. Caliph allowed those who wanted to to rest, and the rest may work on smaller tasks. Caliph himself decided to take a leisurely walk through the close forest, getting a mental breath from the days events.

[UnStellar]

She cuddled closer to him, rubbing against pleasingly as sh began kissing his neck.
"Mmm... Sounds beautiful." She said between kisses.

[Capxeno]

The Marid alone with the Succubi leader drank in the details of each movement and touch. To him these details making the greater whole of a body of knowledge he was just now discovering. Letting the Succubi take lead, he smiles, "In its own way... tell me about your world... it seems beautiful in its own way."

Caliph strolled leisurely through the forest near the settlement. Enjoying the sights and sounds of the rather dark forest, he let himself go over the names and ambition of everyone lost in the failed mission. Wonder what to do next, with no way home Caliph was unsure of how to proceed, he guessed he could make a life here. However, he wanted to make the Marid truly grand, and being on a comfortable but unimportant planet didn't help that goal. If this planet had a moon rich in Helium-3 they could theoretically start production of ships, using resources from the moon to avoid damaging the planets ecosystem, however Caliph figured he needed to understand the local population better, its people and ways before making political offers and asking favors.

All in all Caliph felt he had asked enough of this world to allow his people to stay here.

[UnStellar]

She climbs on to the his lap, stroking the back of his head with hands as she continues to kiss at his neck. She pauses from the kisses to look at his eyes, her hands continuing to stroke as she says,
"Our world... Is beautiful, inviting... But no everything is it seems." As soon as she said that, a change came over, her skin began to shift colors as her nails sprout out long, stabbing through his skull into his brain. He teeth turn wicked sharp and long, she smirks at him before devouring his neck.

[Capxeno]

The succubi found only the breaking of the illusion as she stabbing into water. You see, all that the succubi had done is stab the water that was being used in the Marid's illusion. The neck she was biting into turned into spiky tendrils that wrapped around the succubi's neck, holding the bone tight in an embrace that could snap it at the slightest motion.

The Marid formed another watery head as he formed into a mass of spiky tentacles enrapturing the Succubi. The Marid lift her into the air as the spiky tentacles held her in place, covering most of her body. In a mere motion the Marid could choose to snap her neck. the Marid laughed in a strange echoing voice as its watery face quivering in strange mouthing motions.

"I think I like the way this world greets its guests." mused the Marid, drinking in every detail of the now most likely heavily bleeding Succubi.



Caliph returned to the Marid settlement, taking a load off as his dematerialized into what looked like bird bath. Filling it with water, a light twinkling coming from the gem that is what Caliph true self was.

[UnStellar]

With an ear piercing squeal the Succubi chopped the tendril off before it even reached her neck, her nails glistening like razors. She continued to transform subtly, becoming more and more combat oriented as her breasts shrunk, her muscles grew and horns and a tail sprouted from her head and back. She formed a magical barrier from the tendrils, as they pounded against it she formed it into a cyclinder, trapping him in the middle and covering the top. Slowly she began to push the magic cylinder tighter and tighter, squeezing him to death.

[Capxeno]

The tendrils she trapped were actually no longer part of the Marid, the splashed into a puddle of water as the Marid new solid illusion took form behind the Succubi. The Marid's form mirrored the Succubi's perfectly with the exception of the wings, they were in the form of dozens of spiky tentacles. They rushed to encircled and overwhelm the Succubi. The Marid chuckled in perfect copied tone of the Succubi, "Not everything is as it seems young one. I thought you would understand your own advice." as the Marid leaned in kissing the Succubi's new form, a bubble of slippery water sliding swiftly down the Succubi's throat.

[UnStellar]

Unfortunately, the water remained trapped inside the barrier, therefore he never escaped to shift forms. The Succubi hissed, baring her fangs.
"Deceit and trickery, DIE!" With a wave, the barrier's temperature dives to subzero temperatures.

[Capxeno]

The succubi hubris may cost her it's life, as she froze regular mundane water in her barrier. The Marid itself had completed its kiss in the form of the more seductive look of the Succubi, the tentacles that replaced the Marid's wings in this form wrapping tightly around the Succubi. Well, at least any thirt the succubi had would have been quenched by the kiss' water.

The Marid's solid succubi illusion splashed down the illusion gone. Only that remained was two puddles of water, one outside the barrier and wetting the floor, and one frozen in the relatively useless barrier.

[UnStellar]

The Succubi stared down sinisterly at the puddle of water, glaring evilly as she started a fire to evaporate it.  She looked around the room for the source of the illusions.

The Marid Gem would find it could not escape through the soundproof walls, though they were cloth, they were magically enforced to be solid as concrete.

[Capxeno]

The water in the Succubi's blood started separating, changing into the solid illusion of a small child attempting to rip itself right from the Succubi's body. You see the Marid Gem was closer than the Succubi had considered.

Now it was using the very life water within the Succubi's body to make its next solid illusion, without the water in its body the solid illusion's hand ripped out of the Succubi's chest as a reddish dust escaped  the wound. A child-like reached out from the open wound on the Succubi's chest.

[Capxeno]

OOC: Three day rule, fight over.


The Marid's solid illusion finished ripping its way ripping itself out of the Succubi?s body as the flesh tear dryly without moisture. The corpse of the Succbi lay in a crumpled heap of jerky -like flesh. The Marid gem had entered the Succubi?s body the moment its solid illusion had kissed her.

With that the Succubi's fate was sealed, that close to the creatures blood, and the very water composing her body was now at the Marid disposal. The Succbi was now thoroughly dead, and the Marid stood in a child-like form, with reddish dust covering him. Before taking the form of the Succubi it just killed.

The fights between the other eleven pairs of Succubi and Marid ended similarly. Their crumpled dry corpses being burned to ashes as the twelve Marid stood in the forms of their fallen opponents. All the Marid the Succubi leader could think, was how to report this to Caliph, and how long its been since he had so much fun.
