Cam the Cthulhu rattled it's cage angrily when it heard the door finally open. Mindflayer pet thing was home, and hadn't fed it all day. It had left poor, innocent Cam alone in it's cage all this time, with no one but the wandering hazmutt creature to keep it company.
It was enraged.
It rattled loudly, expecting attention from it's pet mindflayer the moment she came home. What it received, however, was quite the opposite.
Riley locked the door behind her, and then rested her back on it for a moment. She didn't even seem to notice the rattling, she was simply lost in her own thoughts. After a moment, she pushed herself off the door and walked - right past Cthulhu's cage - to head through her study and straight for her bedroom. Cthulhu's rattling slowed to a stop as it watched, in awe, while she ignored it completely.
Then it started screeing.
Riley shut the door to her bedroom, effectively eliminating the noise that was coming from her living room. She toppled onto the bed, face first, and then rolled over. Her eyes stared up at the canopy, unfocused as she thought over what had just happened.
She had touched Malodore's mind. She had.. there was no other way to label what she'd done except for the callous sounding words other species used. She had kissed him. Her eyes closed as she remembered it. She had kissed Malodore.
And he liked it.
This was not how things were supposed to happen. She remembered the first moment she'd met him. She had been so excited to find someone so unique, so unknown, she wanted to know everything. She wanted it all for herself. That hadn't changed, had it? She mulled over her feelings, and realized just how subtle the change had been.
She no longer just wanted to know everything about him. She wanted.. him. She wanted to lay claim and destroy anyone who would dare challenge her for his favor. Most of all, she wanted to share everything with him. And this.. this was where she began to worry.
Her hands clenched into fists, and her eyes opened to slits. She could hear the echo of his voice, even now, as if somehow even he was trying to warn her of sentiment.
"Ah, but sentiment can be dangerous in my chosen profession", Malodore said.
"What is best is not always what is emotionally best, no?"
She cringed slightly, finding no answer from within. She was in no state to open her mind to the hive, either - her emotions were too fresh, too raw. She would never be able to hide them, and they would be subject to public scrutiny. Malfunctioning, they would declare. Disgraceful. Dangerous. Immediate termination.
She briefly wondered how long her body would sit on this bed before someone found her dead in her dorm. It was a ridiculous, morbid thought, and she brushed it off with a roll of her eyes.
Then, as though her own mind fought against the morbid and frightening thoughts with it's best weapon, she remembered the kiss again. Her eyes turned to one side, half-lidded and unfocused. It was this lack of focus that allowed her to ignore the eyes that looked back at her, for quite a few moments.
Then, as if something had slapped her, she regained focus and stared in growing shock.
On her bed, with it's head turned towards her and it's one black, lifeless eye tilted in her direction, was the half of the pink elephant. What was left of it's smile was curved upward, raggedly greeting her with it's cheerfulness. She glared at it for a few more seconds, and two very important things became apparent. The first was that it was not transforming the way Malodore's samples had been.. and the second was that she could still feel JOY radiating from it. It felt like it was reaching out for her, and she almost fell off her bed trying to get away from it. She stumbled to her feet, and stared - as if waiting for it to move. It didn't.
Her daydreams and nightmares would have to wait - this was a much more pressing matter. She moved to open the door and head for the kitchen, when Cthulhu's scree assaulted her auditory senses. She let out a similar scree into it's mind, and it shut up almost immediately. When she stopped, it shook it's cage, and she pursed her lips.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I've had a lot on my mind, okay?! It's been difficult for me, and why am I talking to you, you don't even understand me.
She came to that realization a little late, and as soon as her voice stopped babbling Cthulhu began to shake it's cage again.
Food. Right. She headed to the kitchen, pulling a smaller brain out of the freezer and plating it for her little hellion. She slipped it near the cage, where Cthulhu's tentacles reached out and slurped it up greedily. I'll come read you to sleep in a moment. I have to take care of something. With a hurried step, she headed back to the kitchen, grabbed a plastic bag, and returned to her bedroom. She turned the plastic bag inside out, putting her hand inside. Using this method, she carefully snatched up the toy, and clenched it within the plastic. She then turned the bag back outside in, and closed it. She carried it somewhat away from her body, placing it in a drawer of her desk, and closed the drawer.
Then she locked the drawer.
Then she placed her chair against the drawer.
Nodding slightly at the various methods of protection, she returned to the living room to read Cthulhu it's bedtime story.
It's a new day, and the stars are right. Wake up , little Cthulhu, it's time to play...

Ever since the incident with Sin's pets, Riley had been considering a new wardrobe. After the Truth or Dare game, however, she was determined to make it happen. The game taught her an important lesson - these students thought with their crotches, not their minds. She was forced to adjust to compensate for this, and further her plans to secure total cooperation by any means necessary.
Junko had taught her much in the way of making clothing, without even realizing it. Riley had stockpiled the information to be used at a later time - and the time was now. She closed her eyes, and pulled up all the information on clothing design that was available to her through her memories with Junko, along with the hivemind stock of information. Unfortunately, what the hivemind knew was mostly armor construction, and not necessarily normal clothing styles. It was with this information in hand that Riley started to create a new wardrobe, and it looked suspiciously like armor. Junko's knowledge with the needle and thread took form of influencing the lower portion of Riley's outfit, but the metalworking of medieval times helped influence the work she created for her shoulderpads and chestplate. It was a queer mix of two cultures, that created one very interesting outfit.
When she was complete, she implanted several psionic crystals directly into the armor, and they glowed a faint hue as they imbued it with power. Wearing this outfit would help her channel her inner strength, but in the meantime, the overall effect was much more enhancing on her.. feminine charms.
It was an outfit for a multitude of uses, indeed. Power came in many forms, and through many vessels - whether it be her psionic powers, or the powers of manipulation that could be achieved when looking more physically intoxicating.
She was determined to use all available facilities in her grand scheme.
All of them.
