A Little Preparation (Narrative)
Jan. 7th, 2017 11:29 amNearly all of the crew of the Blue Fish were asleep in their beds, oblivious to the fact that one of the ship's showers was running. Gemini didn't care if she used up all the day's hot water allowance, in fact that was her deliberate intention, her little gift to them. Should anyone actually turn up to investigate why the shower was running she would slip away...maybe do a little more serious damage to the ship's plumbing system in the process.
But for now she was just enjoying the hot water, her mind going over all the thing's she'd observed over the past few days. Walking over to the mirror, she wiped a layer of condensation away, her flesh flowing and changing like liquid as she did so until a moment later another face looked back at her from the mirror. Jeyne Westerling turned one way or the other, looking over every inch of her reflection critically, checking for any flaws, testing a number of expressions on her face, and taking a few steps to make sure she had the woman's gait down pat. After another moment her features shifted again, and a decidedly male face stared back at her, the attractiveness of which drew a moment's smile as she repeated the procedure, going over all that she'd observed.
Jeyne Westerling had annoyed her, not seriously, but enough to ensure Gemini's continuing attention, a malicious desire to interfere with the girl's life forming out of pure spite and boredom, and with her powers there was no telling the damage she could do. But there was always more to mimicking someone convincingly than just adopting their form and voice, if a target's closest friends and family were to be fooled study was essential, mannerisms, movements, speech patterns, friends, everything had to be known. One tiny slip up could be enough to ruin everything, and Gemini had every intention of making her fun last as long as possible.
"No sweetling allow me to pay for such things." Robb Stark's voice flowed smoothly from her mouth, parroting a line she had heard him use when she had followed the two in the Corona shopping district. Satisfied at her replication she returned to the shower, before turning for a moment an alien smirk on his handsome features and blowing himself a kiss. Tomorrow would be the day she'd put her skills to the test.
