::In a dark, dark cave in a dark, dark cliff there's a dark, dark man with a dark, dark spliff. Peebles takes a long draw of the joint and sighs, smoke flowing from his cracked lips into the cool evernight air.::

"Ahhh..."

::When Katarin suddenly appears in a flash of light, he gives a powerful start and cracks her across the knees with his stick.::

::Katarin growls, eyes dark with the intensity of her anger.::

"Jesus! What the fuck was that for, dude?"

::She tilts her head sideways, sighing heavily.::

"I need a cigarette."

::Peebles blows smoke into her face.::

::Katarin sucks the smoke in quickly, breathing in the familiar nicotine smell along with her renewed contentment.::

"You're the one that tells me about my powers before I go on my merry way, right? I'll let you know, you may be a divine being, but I don't play games."

::She arches a crafty eyebrow and sets her trademark defiant smirk on her face.::

::Peebles blinks, a little caught off guard. He's never been referred to as 'divine' before. He shakes it off and glares at Katarin.::

"I don't care what you do and do not play, mortal! You can shimmer, which is a demonic transportation power which allows you to do this:

::Peebles shimmers out. His whole form appears to, well, shimmer and disappear into the air. He then returns with the same action, his body appearing like a mirage in the heat of the sun before forming properly.::

"And then there's the good one..."

::Katarin's eyes widen as Peebles shows off her new shimmering power. However, she plays this off like she's only mildly amused.::

"Stellar. And I'll have you know, I'm a demon, friend. Not a mortal."

::The smirk returns to her face, and she sighs, her heavy Southern accent pouring from her lips as she speaks.::

"What's the good one? Should I jump up and down with joy?"

"Only if it'll make you stop talking."

::Deciding to play along, but only to get what she wants, Katarin places a long index finger to her lips and makes a shh'ing sound.::

"As you wish."

"At the moment, you'll need to make physical contact, and it'll only be a pleasant warming sensation at best... but once you master your power, you will be able to make the blood of your victims literally boil. This can even be without touching them, though you must be close enough. In the same room or something. You will initiate their power by emboldening your actions, and if you feel it necessary, explaining what will happen, as this:

::Peebles places his hand on Katarin and increases the temperature of her blood. The power is weak at the moment, so will only be lightly noticeable to Kat.::

"Or something."

::Katarin feels her blood warm, pleasant, but still slightly bothersome. More annoying than painful. A soft moan escapes her lips.::

"Wow."

::Her dark eyes look up at Peebles, feeling slightly less bold than she felt before.::

"Am I free to go? Places to see, people to do..."

"Bugger off to Persepolis or..."

::Peebles considers.::

"Umm... the beach. It could be an EVIL BEACH!"

::Katarin smirks defiantly and shivers at the word 'evil.'::

"Let's try this shimmering business, shall we? I'll get out of your hair. If you have any..."

::Katarin shimmers away to the beach.::

"What a weenie."
