Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Oh, wow," Nikki looked up as she spun around, trying to take in the grandiosity of the interior. "This is simply magnificent, Sir Lewis, simply magnificent! Isn't it?" She asked to her left with a grin. "What? Oh, no, that house wasn't anywhere nearly as nice as this place. It didn't have a chandelier like that one!" She pointed. "And really, that house was dull. There was no life to it. This place..." The meanki ran her fingers along the walls almost lovingly.

She looked up and giggled as another scream echoed through the house. "Oh, right, I almost forgot. Think we should go look for them? It would let us get to know the house better too!"

"Oh, but you're so cute when rambling!" Nikki giggled as she somehow managed to skip up the stairs without tripping. "I'd love to hear about everything you've done to this lovely, lovely house. What about dinner? I'd love to make dinner for you and your sister." She grinned as she kept up next to the fox. "It's only fair, right?" she asked to her left, "I mean, Sir Lewis was kind enough to let us play in his maze, and invited us into his family's lovely abode. What? Sure, I don't see why we can't make that, if the ingredients are there."

Her eyes glittered with a manic energy as they made their way into the depths of the house. She simply wouldn't wait to meet Lewis's sister!

Nikki grinned back at the fox. "Hi, I'm Nikki, and that's Tass," she said, jerking her thumb to the left. "But people usually just call us Nikki Tass for some weird reason, go figure, right?"

The meanki looked Alice up and down, then turned to Lewis with a grin. "Wow, your sister is adorable! I gotta say, nature loved you guys with some lovely looks." She nodded wisely at her own words, then looked up when she heard the lolikat in the other room. "Is that your friend, Alice? C'mon, maybe she just needs other people to play with too!"

((Gods help that lolikat if she pisses Nikki off. Her backhand isn't the only thing that's pure evil. <.<;; ))

"Aw, that's not being nice!" Nikki giggled as she skipped over to the lolikat and squatted down in front of her. "C'mon, we're not bad people here, and we just wanna have some fun! Nothing wrong with fun, right?" The meanki grinned, but it definitely didn't reach the strange, malevolent gleam that seemed to glow in her left eye.

She stood up and grabbed the loli's hand, tugging lightly. "I bet Mr. Lewis'll let us play in the maze again! It's a lotta fun, have you tried it yet? You'll love it!"

((T-minus one more negative from the lolikat before Nikki performs her Dr. Jekyll/Mistress Hyde routine and things get really f'ing bloody. <.<;; ))

The grin disappeared from Nikki's face, and her entire demeanor changed like a lightning strike. "You. Won't. Play?" She spoke softly, and the air seemed to chill at the finality in the words.

Moving with the unnatural speed of the truly nuts, she grabbed the lolikat by the front of her shirt and picked her up into the air. "You don't want to play with us?" She dropped the lolikat to her feet, and before the surprised kat could react, Nikki spun counter-clockwise, leading with her left hand.

The backhand sent the kat slamming into the wall. Nikki looked over her shoulder and noticed a silver candlestick on a small table. Walking over, she took it and flipped it through the air, catching it by the neck and holding it like a club.

"You really should have played with us." She said as she stood over the terrified lolikat. "We were being nice, after all." Nikki's face was a frozen, horrific mask of glee as the blood began to fly.

Nikki began to sing, softly at first, though it seemed to grow louder with each successive strike of the candlestick. The words were little more than gibberish, making it sound more a hair-tingling chant of insanity as blood geysered and splashed across the walls, and rained across the floor from the beaten lolikat.

The meanki's face never left that rigid mask of vicious glee until she whipped the candlestick back for another strike, blood splashing across her face. Nikki froze, blinking as if surprised. Looking down at the barely conscious lolikat, then at the gore-coated candlestick, she dropped it and backed away.

"Oh," she whispered, what looked like fear creeping across her features. "Oh no, what have I done?" Nikki sat down heavily on the floor, and unexpectedly burst into tears. "What have I DONE?!" she wailed, sounding more like a terrified child than anything else. She turned to her left. "What am I gonna do?! Look what I've done! What monster have I become?!"

She looked up at the Cardell siblings, pleading in her eyes. "I'm sorry, I'm so, so sorry! I didn't mean to unintentionally redecorate your lovely room!"

Nikki sniffed and wiped the tears from her eyes before hugging Alice back. "Y- you really think so?" She looked up at Lewis, a trembling smile on her lips. "I mean, the least I should have done is ask, an' he should have reminded me," she said, jerking her head to the right, "since he's always reminding me to mind my manners. He really fell down on the job this time."

When Lewis reached down and brushed her cheek, she couldn't help pressing her face into his hand, enjoying the feel of his fingers through her fur. "I-... I'm glad it turned out okay, at least." She looked at the blood spattering the walls, floor, and even ceiling and nodded in approval. "It does look rather lovely, not too bad for a first time painter, right?"

Crying spell gone like a flash of smoke, Nikki jumped to her feet and helped Alice to hers. "That was fun! We should definitely find some more playmates down the road. And-... and... cool!" The meanki walked over to the bloody wall and peered at it closely. "Hey, look here, that looks like one of those big rock folk tap-dancing on one of those flying folk!" She giggled as she started picking out random, mostly disturbing images in the blood spatter.
