((Long overdue hissy fit. Caution: her telepathy will get loud. Canon is Primal Rage!))

[insane_sorceress]

You. FOOL! You think you can keep that bit of information from ME?! [Have the most furious hiss ever to come out of that mouth full of very sharp looking teeth, everyone. This very powerful and wicked cobrasaur becomes enraged over an enabling from last week.

I-It's more Xelly's fault than Mun's, she swears!]

I despise Xel'lotath even MORE, FOR WHAT SHE'S DONE! I promise you, I will CUT through to remove her eye. I'll shrink it, eat it, and have the rest of her pretrified and turned to DUST!

I'll arrange it so her new colleague will watch! Yes!! [Insert your Holy CRAP, That is One Scary Crazy Evil Laugh here. Vertigo's slipped deep into Basket Case Mode.]

Then, I'll do worse to him! [There's more laughter, to which would scare the pee out of most.]

I'll even bring Diablo with me, if I must! If I choose to do that, then I'll let him roast and feast on Xel'lotath's corpse.

(Caitlin wants to slink back but she manages to stand her ground, even if she seems a bit shaky. This is actually terrifying.)

[insane_sorceress]

[Caitlin, what you're looking at is a combination of T-Rex and cobra. Current height is at how she appears when wanting to interact around humans, most particularly, at seven feet tall.

Vertigo is actually so much bigger in her true size.

It doesn't take long for this terrible goddess to notice the human. She tilts her head, her slitted pupil violet eyes showing an intense dementia.]

And why would you be in my presence? [That female voice Caitlin hears in her head sounds very dangerous, carrying an intent that Vertigo just might harm her.]

[girlwithsecrets]

(Caitlin gives the goddess to stern glare. Of course, it may not look so stern or intimidating because at her 5'6 height, she is looking upwards at Vertigo and not directly at it. She may come across as an impudent child even.)

You're loud. Stop shoutin', you're botherin' everyone. (She had been completely asleep until that shouting started and the Irishwoman is not a morning person.)

[imvho]

[Utterly unafraid and exuding an aura of perfect tranquilly, Zhen Chan regards Vergito with quiet interest and nothing more.]

To sow seeds of hate is to recieve hate oneself. To harm is to be harmed. Why do you feel the need to do things that will only damage yourself in time?

[insane_sorceress]

[Vertigo noticed that she was tired, but this goddess obviously couldn't afford to care. She felt darkly amused when Caitlin was reluctant to make direct eye contact.

Vertigo cared not for the well being of humans. She took over two Urth parallels, and they both had so many. The billions of them were her property, and right now she was mildly contemplating whether or not Caitlin would be worth it to do her most powerful of dark juju on her mind. Or she could just kill her. Or shrink her down to be small enough to chomp up and snack on.

Vertigo's "voice" seems a bit mocking as those violet snake eyes flash a golden glow a moment before returning to their original color.]

Poor thing. You should know; I answer to no human... [She telepathically chuckles at Caitlin.] Bothering them is, in the very least, less terrible than slaughter or enslavement.

[She says that like it's no big deal. She doesn't even feel sorry for talking like that. Vertigo is cruel, selfish, despicable, evil, and unstable--an absolute monster in every sense of the word. If her entire prehistoric spiky and scaly appearance wasn't enough, the way she spoke would certainly give off that vibe...]

[girlwithsecrets]

(Caitlin just gives her a very dirty look now. The Irishwoman crosses her arms tightly, she obviously is ready to shoot her mouth off now, but she has a nagging feeling in the back of her mind. Something telling her to run, to get away. But, she feels overwhelmingly angry now, especially now that Vertigo has chuckled. She huffs and manages to give the coldest glare she can muster and while looking right into her eyes.)

Well, you should know, I don't answer to anything that -isn't- human and I won't die or be enslaved by the likes of you...

[insane_sorceress]

[That tranquil aura she detects from him causes her to mentally do a slight recoil of loathing. This primal goddess flashes a glare of utmost annoyance.

Most other gods, apart from the black and red Tyrannosaur god of evil who she allowed co-rule both Urth worlds alongside her, were either rivals or nuisances. Or both. Zhen Chan so far is only a nuisance in her eyes, and her mood was far from being uplifted.

Her own aura emits waves of pitch blackness, and madness. In a terse hiss comes Vertigo's telepathic tone as she replies.]

You dare to attempt to meddle into my affairs? Ha! I care not for what god you are, nor your views of right and wrong.

[More venom seeps into her tone that borders on stating threats.]

The Nexus is to be mine, and mine alone. No one elses. I will not allow other gods to overrun it. I refuse, and what I intend to do is not your concern.

[insane_sorceress]

[What she says causes her to laugh at her. At least she's not pissed, for that would've been INSTANT danger. Caitlin might have been killed on the spot.]

Well, aren't you special... [She starts to move closer, threatening to invade the woman's personal space, as this goddess has no concept of it.]

You wouldn't want to tempt me to prove you wrong. To alter that prickly but interesting mind of yours... [That dark forked tongue goes out, then back in, fairly close to where Caitlin's nose would be.]

[girlwithsecrets]

(Caitlin tries to take large steps back when the goddess' tongue goes out and back in. She wanted to keep her personal space.) Not as special as some.

(Of course, she feels as if she was not special at all, purely someone who would be able to do such "foolish" or "dangerous" things and if it went wrong someone would not be missed. With an increasingly annoyed expression, she bitingly says.)

Prickly? Funny, the last I checked I wasn' a hedgehog.

[imvho]

[The embodiment of serenity, a gentle breeze carries lightly flowing blue petals around him. Perhaps some form of divine protection from that evil aura of hers, or perhaps simply his nature. It is difficult to tell. Grass and flowers grow at his feet, healthy and pure.

With his left hand palm up and his right straight fingered down, Zhen Chan performs a hand symbol that represents enlightenment overcoming darkness. It's not a magical gesture, but a reflection of his own mental state and conviction.]

What harms is wrong. What helps is right. That is a truth that the willingly ignorant ignore for their own sake. What is the purpose in seeking to obtain something that will only be destroyed by your own evil? Instead, you should focus upon conquering yourself.

Or you will never know any form of joy, and will be destroyed by your own actions.

[theendis_nyaigh]

Aaaaaaaaah. Music to my ears.

[Sorry Vertigo, there's +1 Crawling Chaos here now just loving every second of mark-ness coming from you. Nothing's better than an Ancient going ballistic over being trolled.]

[insane_sorceress]

[Vertigo laughs again. Oh, she seeks enjoyment in bothering this mortal.] Very true... to both. Caitlin McKenna, correct?

[Very easily, and subtly, she reads her mind. Vertigo knows how touchy most humans get about doing so, without their consent. Frequently, she does this of her own leisure, whether or not it's evident humans would prefer to say as little as about themselves in possible. Past the human's name, Vertigo's getting to know a bit more, psychically peeking at her memories.]

Oh? You know Peter Petrelli, hm? That's interesting... I've seen him before, at Nexus. Fascinating world, it is.

[insane_sorceress]

[She doesn't seem to be at all impressed or interested in the breeze, nore the plantlife growing around him.

She's simply irritated by his very presence.]

I do not wish to destroy. No. I'd only like to have the world as an expansion to my territory.

Any god who dares to challenge me or stand in my way are the ones that end up being destroyed. Understand? [Yes, that can be interpreted as a threat. She's not afraid to dish out the pain either, if she deems it necessary.]

If it is my happiness you're concerned about, then let me assure you; once I end Xel'lotath and her games, it would be a great victory. She is far more destructive than I. There is absolutely no order to her methods. None.

[girlwithsecrets]

(The woman looks unnerved by her name being said.) Maybe. Maybe not. (She wants to know how she had guessed her name.)

That's none of your business. (The woman glares at Vertigo, the goddess obviously managing to hit a nerve by mentioning Peter's name. She does not mention Nexus, even though she was somewhat aware that he had been there for some time.)

[imvho]

[He remains without fear of her threats. Though as humble as a saint should be, he is well aware of his phenomenal power. He just does not feel any sort of need to flaunt it.}

Destruction is more than causing something to cease to exist. To taint is the same as to destroy. In order to take wood, one must reduce a forest to nothing and in doing so end the forest without destroying the wood. In the same way, the things you believe will bring you joy can only cause fleeting indulgence. Will you be satisfied with what you have once you have it? Why would you be? Your initial wish is irrational and will continue to grow.

[Placing his hands together, he briefly contemplates the true message he wishes to send. Zhen Chan believes that even beings with the most wicked of roots can be improved upon through guidance, even if that guidance must be forcefully imposed.]

If you act in a dangerous manner, you only invite danger into yourself. If you perform injustice, you will invite justice. If I must be that justice myself, so be it, but it will occur in time unless you listen to wisdom and bring harmony upon yourself.

[Genuinely preaching to an evil dinosaur goddess. There are no limits to his good hearted nature. Aside from the evil darkness within he cannot expunge, but believes he already has, but that should hardly count.]

[insane_sorceress]

[Have a brief snide remark, creature she would not know of yet.]

Is that so...

[Having this primal goddess going ballistic at you would not be wise. She's a ruthless, brutal fighter, who does not fight fair.]

[insane_sorceress]

I know it is... [Don't bother lying to her, oh pitiful human, because SHE KNOWS, and she finds you entertaining, and isn't in the least intimidated or even nervous when Caitlin glares.]

Anyone who ever came to the Nexus is my business, for one day it will be mine.

[girlwithsecrets]

No, it's not. (She is going to keep denying things about herself. Anything to regain some distance between her and Vertigo, anything. She shakes her head.)

It won't. There's more than enough people there who will stop you.

[theendis_nyaigh]

Well why not? A bunch of the Ancients, fooling around and pulling pranks on each other? Imaging the kinds of shenanigans they can pull off when they have entire eternities to plan and revise their jokes!

So, what did ol' Xelly do to you? Trick you into crossing with the wrong whip-wielding archeologist?

[Nyal's all eager, no regard for her own safety. Then again, when you make a habit out of getting curbstomped by Demonbane, you lose all sense of self-preservation.]

[insane_sorceress]

[Vertigo's just entertained by how she tries to deny her identity. She's tempted to peek into more of the woman's memories.]

Hahaha, and you hadn't lost a brother sometime ago either?

[Have more telepathic laughter to make Caitlin feel more unsettled, just before she gloats a little.]

Not nearly enough. The numbers of warriors I have outnumber them all greatly. Hannah will have to transfer them over, since a certain Pest and I both know I'll have my claws full with those two bumbling other gods.

[girlwithsecrets]

(The Irishwoman freezes in place when she hears Vertigo mention Ricky. She never healed from that loss and the mere mention of him causing her heart to hurt. Even her tough demeanor could be cracked if the right thing was mentioned. This only reminded her of her place in the world. She was entirely alone. She had no one to rely on when things became too hard for one person to handle and no one to even pretend that they cared for and trusted her. He had died for no real reason, and she is reminded of wanting to seek and get revenge. She had never even found his murderer. What was she doing? Just waiting around and watching time pass by. She looks down as her widened eyes narrow and she feels her hands clench into fists.)

Shut up. Shut up. SHUT UP!

[insane_sorceress]

[As he tries to offer his good willed advice, she continues to reject it. She doesn't want any of it.]

I don't even fear danger! Those who have challenged me in the past failed! The threats of the past, I conquered.

Take your lectures to someone who cares! What I seek is no business of yours. [Zhen Chan gets glowered at, as icily as Vertigo can muster. (The question her pest of a mun wonders if he could take on all three mad god and goddesses. Luckily, Vertigo's too irritated with Zhen Chan to even pick up on that.]

You'll only share Xel'lotath's, this Kinshin Asura's, and all their creatures' fates if you attempt to interfere.

[Vertigo considers to silently that she just might have to seek Diablo's aid. Soon.]

[insane_sorceress]

[Oh you just made her raise her voice again. Hope you have some aspirin on you. It's strange that Vertigo doesn't get headaches herself when she gets so loud.]

What she did was NO MERE TRICK!! According to THE PEST, she invited ANOTHER GOD to the Nexus!

One mad goddess such as Xel'lotath is ENOUGH! If this Kinshin Asura is anything like her, I will see to it that she suffers long and slow.

[insane_sorceress]

[As it goes for most humans, it doesn't take much for Vertigo to get them enraged or quivering in fear.

Caitlin's anger makes Vertigo smug as her bad mood has been very well uplifted.]

Ahaaah. As predicted I figured that was a sensitive spot... It hurts many terribly to lose someone so close to their hearts.

Especially when that loved one is killed.

Tell me, is Peter the only one you have in your life?

[This fiend just lets her assume the worst.]

[girlwithsecrets]

I don't have anyone. (She truly has convinced herself of that and she has no interest in regaining friends or even letting anyone close. What happened the last time still feels too recent and she refuses to let anything like what occurred then to happen again. "No more losing and being taken from. No more letting anything just happen." The woman feels her anger finally exploding.) And you know what, I don't need anyone. (She has made it this far without much help, after being forgotten about even.)

But, you...you have no right mentioning my brother or Peter. So, shut your damn mouth!

(Caitlin suddenly lunges at Vertigo shouting curses at her.)

[imvho]

[Where he's from, his presence on a battlefield is worth more than a hundred elite gods- but those elite gods are not quite so impressive as the disjointed trinity, even if the very greatest of his pantheon certainly are.

Who knows how such a conflict could go?]

..Vile spawn... I see you have no trace of reason within you. Persist this path and die- that is the only future ahead on that road.

[insane_sorceress]

[That long whip-like tail of hers she moves fast to hit her, hard. Vertigo laughs like a crazy maniac just after doing so.

An idea just came to her as she was slipping deeply into Basket Case Mode; beating, biting, and harming her into submission. Yes. Vertigo decided readily to do it, and enjoy it...]

[insane_sorceress]

[[ooc: nexus_musebox <- You're welcome to join in on the crazy fun anytime. Ahaha a good and tranquil god to balance out that trio of mad ones. Hee. I also know one other divine being is already coming and his name is Castiel!]]

[She's getting enraged now, letting out a HsSsSsSS. Repeatedly, she tells him to back off, GET LOST, and he doesn't! She's getting it into her wicked and twisted mind that he's threatening her.]

I WON'T PERISH! NO ONE will succeed in killing ME!

I already have my future secured!! It may involve YOUR DEATH, if you're going to be so PERSISTENT about it!

[girlwithsecrets]

(Caitlin is perfectly hit by the tail and flies back and into the ground just as hard as she was hit. She cried out as she was hit and once she was down, she realizes that getting up was not as easy as it should be. She manages to sit up, but the idea of moving anymore is foreign to her body. Her head hurts from hitting it and her side...she cries out at the thought of her side and how it causes it to feel extremely painful.)
