[Coyolxauhqui's seated on a plush-looking pile of cotton textiles in a nondescript area of the Barge, casually sipping on some sort of frothy concoction. Her skin is cut to ribbons - ears, arms, legs, but she's scrubbed and polished and looking pleased with herself. She sips on the drink and then speaks, her voice sounding like her tongue might be

Coyo, my friend... Had I realised these changes were on account of yourself, I would have been a good deal more reasoned in my reaction.

I trust my gifts of chocolate and offers of worship have not been forgotten?

Offers I am only too happy to increase, should you be capable of assisting my own liberation.

[leadsthestars]

[Mmmhmm. SURE.]

What was it that you said about my brothers? That they smell? That they are barbaric?

[veni_vidi_valui]

Please... Forgive me for my ignorance. I had a rather bad experience in Egypt, where those of a half-naked likeness acted most disgracefully to both my safety and that of my daughter. They left quite the unfortunate impression upon me.

I have more luxury goods, Coyo. Silks, oils, incence... Further chocolate, perhaps?

Goods I would gladly offer you in tribute.

[leadsthestars]

I will forgive your ignorance. Just this once, I forgive you. But no more than this.

I cannot grant you liberation.

Coyolxauhqui. It has been long indeed, but I have not forgotten.

I find enjoyment is scarce while caged in this imperfect vessel.

Nahuatl

[leadsthestars]

I know you are divine; I know you are a god, but please, forgive me for not knowing which of my beloved lords and ladies speaks to me now.

Nahuatl

[myglasses]

I am Chalchiuhtotoliq, Precious Night Turkey, god of pestilence and the mystery.

Nahuatl

[leadsthestars]

Chalchiuhtotoliq! I know you well! It has been a very long time.

I apologize that your vessel is not satisfactory. It seems some more fortunate than others.

Nahuatl

[yeehawkiller]

Sister, there has been a mistake. I have been summoned to the body of a man. This creature has ... extra parts. It requires adjustment.

Nahuatl

[leadsthestars]

...oh, you as well? Very unfortunate. You are not the only one though.

Which lady do I speak with?

Nahuatl

[yeehawkiller]

I will meet with my familiars then and discuss our predicament.

It is Chantico, Coyolxauhqui. I am sorry to hear of your imprisonment here. Have you been safe?

Nahuatl

[leadsthestars]

Chantico, I am glad to hear that it is you. I am very sorry your vessel is the wrong gender. You will not be trapped within it for very long.

Safe. Somewhat safe. This prison is like no other.

Nahuatl

[gotgreenmagic]

Coyolxauhqui. I heard the feathered serpent talk of you. My vessel is strange, but it is Xochiquetzal who speaks to you now.

It is wonderful to see you again, even if you have been reduced to imprisonment. It will not last. Your brothers will take you back where you belong, I know it.

Nahuatl - I adore the icon.

[leadsthestars]

Xochiquetzal. Your vessel is the proper gender, so you must count yourself fortunate. Your brother spoke to me earlier; it gave me hope that you had arrived as well.

If all succeeds, if my plans succeed, then I will escape this place. I will be returned to where I belong soon.

Hey, I guess I've got a favour to ask.

My inmate's one of your god friends, and I know you ain't gonna get rid of 'em, but given you did this and stuff, you must have some godly powers and that. Can you swap us over? Get Laura back and I'll take your god friend?

What's all this about, anyway? You gotta have demands or somethin, right?

private

[leadsthestars]

I cannot remove a spirit from its vessel. I do not have that power. The god must remain within your inmate's body. They are one until my work is done.

My demands will present themselves.

Re: private

[christ_onabike]

Right.

So what's your work? Maybe there's something I can do.

Re: private

[leadsthestars]

There is nothing you can do.
