[After texting Cielo about it, she leave the Volo Dorms as quietly and discreetly as she can. She doesn’t want to trouble her dorm mates, especially with what she needs to do to satisfy this Atma-driven hunger. It’s necessary for her to hunt once, but it doesn’t make it any easier.

Eating people is bad.

She head to the Coral, intending on meeting up with Cielo for the hunt. Amane could always do it alone and let her demon handle it, but having someone by her side would make it a little easier.]

[After the hunt...

She’s still in shock. At how easily satisfied she get from devouring the poor local, and how delicious they taste. Do people always taste that good, or did the Atma change her tastebuds as well? She can’t be sure, but her mind is still reeling from it.

Until she returns to the Volo Dorms, Amane is in a daze and slowly heading back, trying to clean the blood away before she’s there.]

(OOC: Thread with Cielo is closed, but Amane's open after the hunt!)

[Compared to other demons in her world, Jezebel is unique. The demon was old and powerful, not as powerful as Belberith, and is also crowned with the name of "Bel".

No demon will ever be like her.

The sounds of eating stop. She's done eating and her hunger's satisfied for now. She won't be able to lash out and risk people's safety this week.

Jezebel...Amane stare at where the corpse used to be in her hands. A number of thoughts run through her mind.

She ate a person.
Is this what being Jezebel is like?
The person taste good to her tongue.]

[Even after she's finished, he still waits a moment. Inexperienced demons sometimes find it hard to control their new bodies. There's blood on the claws and some on his clothes from the kill, but he should be able to make it back to the base without being seen.]

You okay now?

[It's never easy at first.]

I'm...not as hungry, now.

[Which doesn't answer his question, exactly.

A moment later, Amane realised she's still in her demon form. Um.]

[...oh. She's still in her demon form. It's probably not a good idea for her to stay like that.]

Think about changing back into yourself.

[Demons in general can look quite disturbing, but there's something about Jezebel that especially unnerves Cielo. It's the roses, he thinks. He's just too used to thinking of plants as wonderful, peaceful things. He was so thrilled when he first came to Vatheon and saw a flower for the first time ever in his life.

Flowers shouldn't be demons too.]

[She thinks about changing back. To the human form she's born in, what she normally looks like. Just with the Atma on her cheek until this week is over.

Sure enough, Jezebel's large form change and shrink back into Amane's familiar figure.

...So that was what it's like to become a demon.]

[Phew, that was over with.]

You should be fine now.

[In no danger of losing control. The only obstacle now was for both of them to get back to safety. Cielo knows he can - he's done it so many times it's second nature for him.]

Can you make it home by yourself?

[She slowly nods.]

Yes, I can make it back home.

[Maybe in a slight daze, but she'll get back.]

...Cielo?

[He was about to leave, but stops when he hears her say his name.]

Nya? What is it?

...Thank you.

[Just two words, but there's a lot behind it. Her gratitude for his help and being here tonight.]

[Thank you. It's very nice to hear those words. Even though she knows what he is, she knows what he does, she can still find it in her to thank him.

For someone like Cielo who wants nothing more than approval, acceptance, and affection, it's great.]

You're welcome. Stay safe.

[Amane has suffered a lot from Atma, but she'll be okay now. When the week is over, her tattoo will fade and she can to back to being a human again. Cielo glances down at his shirt for a second, his own mark displayed prominently on it in olive green.

Even in this form, the Rainbow Arch still brands him. He has mixed feelings about that.

Assured that Amane will be safe, he leaves. No one seems to have seen or heard what happened, and getting back to the Embryon Base should be easy.]
