Seven Deadly Cupcakes

[holydemon]

[Today, Nero was unfortunate enough to find out about "unique" properties of the Northern Wing. Worst of all, he seemed to be flat-out stuck in the room until he did what was required of him.

On the wall above a large fold-out table there was a note:]

Please enjoy the cupcakes before exiting the room.

[Underneath, the table was decorated with seven plays multicolored frosted cupcakes, all of which looks absolutely delectable. There was definitely something suspicious about them though, even without the note...]

((OOC: So, the rules. Basically your character can't leave the room until they eat at least one cupcake. The effects are based off the seven deadly sins, and you can interpret how your character would represent those sins however you wish. Here's the list:

Blue Icing: Lust (intense desire for power, money, fame, etc.)
Orange Icing: Gluttony (over-indulgence to the point of wastefulness)
Yellow Icing: Greed (excessive materialism)
Light Blue Icing: Sloth (physical or spiritual laziness)
Red Icing: Wrath (uncontrollable hatred and anger)
Green Icing: Envy (jealously driven desire)
Violet Icing: Pride (perceived/desired superiority and a lack of respect for others)

Now have fun and mingle! ♥ ))

That's not true!

[This is all a very shocking contrast to how Pyrrha normally behaves. It's almost like she's... possessed. Could she be possessed? Link stares hard into the girl's eyes, looking for something off about them.]

I do care about your feelings! [He grabs at Pyrrha's wrists when she pushes him against the wall, still rather stunned but now his defensive instincts are kicking in. If she is possessed, he has to be ready to fight her off. Link doesn't want to hurt her, of course, but he would have to do something.]

Wh-what? That's crazy! [At that point he tries to shove Pyrrha away from him.]

[itisntmyfault]

DON'T TOUCH ME! [Pyrrha screams; going to snatch her wrists away when Link takes it upon himself to shove her back. The girl stumbles a few steps backwards.] HOW DARE YOU!?

I HATE YOU, LINK! I HATE YOU! I-- Nngh....! [Suddenly Pyrrha drops down to her knees; clutching her head in her hands as she winces in pain.] Ahh! M-my head...!

[The girl whimpers as she slumps forward on the floor; trembling slighty from the massive headache that seemed to come out of nowhere. She has felt this pain before... Usually in the aftermath of a battle; while coming down from a high of adrenaline and heightened emotion.]

It hurts...!

[paradoxoftime]

[While Pyrrha is suffering from a sudden terrible headache, Link hardly feels any different; the urge to take things lessens, but he's more concerned about Pyrrha than about that at the moment anyway.]

What happened?

[Link drops to his knees next to the girl, resting a hand on her shoulder and trying to catch her eyes. When he speaks, there's a clear urgency in his voice.] What can I do to help?

1/2

Ungh... [Pyrrha continues to hold her head; rocking back and forth slightly before gradually slowing to a stop.] I- I just... need a minute...

[She pants for breath slightly in the aftermath of the massive waves of pain washing over her; brow furrowed. Eventually she speaks again; lifting her head to give Link a look of confusion... and then wide-eyed shock.]

[itisntmyfault]

...What just... happened...? [Did... did she seriously just yell at someone like that? Did she seriously just yell at LINK like that? But why...? She was actually in a pretty good mood a moment ago!] O-oh god... Link....

I... I didn't... mean to say those things at all..!

[paradoxoftime]

[Unsure what to do, and feeling uncomfortable with that realization, Link starts idly rubbing Pyrrha's shoulders while he hopes that whatever is plaguing her will pass. His hands halt their motions when the girl finally meets his eyes, and then his face twists into a suspicious scowl. If she was being possessed, whatever did it must have left. He glances around the room, hoping to catch sight of something... anything. If he can see something, or evidence of its presence, then he can fight it.]

Listen, Pyrrha. I think... you were possessed. Just stay calm! If it's still in here, I'll kill it.

[itisntmyfault]

[Pyrrha blinks; blushing mildly as she realizes that Link is holding her shoulders.] I--

[Wait, what?] P-possessed!?

[But... she didn't feel possessed. -Then again, how would she know what being possessed felt like...?]

[After a moment of thought, she shook her head.] But I... I don't think that's it...

[paradoxoftime]

Huh? You don't think so?

[Link has no idea what being possessed would feel like either. It just seems like a logical explanation.]

What do you think happened?

[Realizing that his hands are still on Pyrrha's shoulders, he casually moves them away and rests them in his lap instead.]
