Ok, after the small revelation Coatzin’s relaxed posture changed slightly, her usually low guard rising a bit. She lowered her head a bit when Strings started to knock on it, mostly as an involuntary reaction to attempt to avoid that kind of contact “How did I get on your nerves? I did anything wrong?” She wasn’t sure of how to feel though. She had indeed tried to make her feel fearful with her previous actions, but as far as she knew, she never tried to harm her at all, or at least she thought so.

Well…Strings wasn’t as tall, slender or elegant as the Slenderman that she had seen so many times in the creepy ambience of her videogames, but she still held a strong resemblance with him thanks to her face and tendrils. She wasn’t sure if she had noticed this or if she simply was in some kind of denial for a reason that she couldn’t really understand. And then the glitching, did she somehow managed to get sucked into her videogame’s world?

She looked around her until she finally found her again, growing both curious and wary. She had played Slenderman for long enough to know that she could teleport anywhere she wanted whenever she wanted. Apparently one of their biggest differences was the reaction towards the unknown. While she couldn’t help but feel dragged to them, curious, Strings only wanted to get rid of them.

She almost jumped once more when she appeared behind her, this girl could be really creepy if she wanted to “Hum…well, I don’t know if I can answer that question to you. Our points of view of what can and can’t be explainable can be a bit different from each other, don’t you think?” She turned around, not feeling exactly comfortable by having strings right behind her, especially in this kind of threatening situations “For me, you’re aren’t exactly explainable, at least not yet. But I must say it, you look really cool and I’m curious” She knew better than just start shooting questions at her, but if she seemed to be comfortable with her presence she would obviously give it a shot.

"Nah, kid. If you did get on my nerves, I'd have killed you already," Strings said casually, as if it was the most normal thing to say. But didn't sound like a joke, oh no. It was a little more of something between a statement and a threat. Whichever way it came off to Coatzin, Strings didn't particularly care. She was in her in-between mood of 'I feel like making friends' and 'trespassers must be eliminated'.

“Hum…well, I don’t know if I can answer that question to you. Our points of view of what can and can’t be explainable can be a bit different from each other, don’t you think? For me, you aren't exactly explainable, at least not yet. But I must say it, you look really cool and I’m curious.”

Coatzin's response made Strings laugh again, but this time, the sound seemed to come from her now. "Aren't you adorable?" she said, almost mockingly. "Right so how are you going to explain me? Urban myth? Maaaaagic?" Strings stretched out the word while she flailed her arms around her. She didn't like it when thing were explained with "magic". Like what was that? Sure, the rift was hard to explain by technical science but there was always other kinds of sciences. Like, Quantum Physics is weird on its own! Why won't people just say "rocket science!" instead of "magic!"? People these days.

"Tell you what, I'll let you explain me or yourself in your own perspective and we'll see if I'm letting you stay or I'm dragging you outta this place. The moon's up and if you think it's a good idea to be in the forest at night then you're really stupid." Strings paused for a moment, "You're lucky I'm in a good mood today, squirt."

Ok…This girl probably was a bit more dangerous than she expected, she needed to watch her actions and thoughts a bit. But then, if she limited herself too much she would stop being herself and that would be something that she wouldn’t like at all. From her point of view, you always had to be yourself if you’re trying to make friends, not being what the ones around you want to see.

She looked at Strings carefully, she could tell by the way she was talking to her that she didn’t believe in magic, and if she took in consideration her physical aspect as well as her behavior she could form an idea of the girl in front of her. She hated prejudging, and making up ideas of how someone was when she hadn’t been around her for even a day fell in this category “Are you…really asking me to explain yourself from my point of view when I don’t even know your name?” She asked, a bit confused.

Coatzin raised her head, noticing that Strings was right, the previously blue sky was now dark and the silver moon shone above their heads, she never realized that she had been exploring for so long…she really had to buy herself a wristwatch soon “Well, I can tell that you know this place and maybe you live around here, so I’m not exactly scared if you’re around and in good mood” She just shrugged it off, she knew that putting her trust on the hands of a complete stranger that could kill people was a bit risky, but so far she hadn’t harmed her at all.

“About me…well…I’m just a hybrid between a human and a Quetzalcoatl that loves to make new friends and exploring any unknown places. Also, my name's Coatzin” She really wasn’t sure of how to explain herself, but if this wasn’t enough she could try and grab a couple of her own life experiences to make herself easier to understand.

"Kid, even I don't know what my name should be," Strings replied with another one of her irritating laughs. "A kid used to call me 'strings lady' though. So sure, call me 'Strings', if you want. But you know, some kids call me Slenderman. It's funny, if you ask me. I'm suddenly an urban legend to these losers in town." Strings glitched out again so she was a little closer to the shadowy corner of the clearing, but she was sitting under a tree now, still visible in plain sight.

“Well, I can tell that you know this place and maybe you live around here, so I’m not exactly scared if you’re around and in good mood” Strings laughed a this, "Consider yourself lucky for having such a good timing, but don't get used to it kid. There's a reason why this place is a forbidden area," she lectured. In all honestly, it wasn't entirely her doing, but she liked how this place almost had no people because they were scared of what lurked here. She was relatively safe because of what she is but she couldn't say the same thing about the others who suddenly waltz into the forest.

Coatzin's explanation though... didn't really satisfy Strings. But hybrids were fascinating to her. "A hybrid, huh?" she hummed curiously. Quetzalcoatls though. Wait, were those real? Hold on.

Strings didn't look like she was responsive for a few seconds, probably thinking about what the girl was trying to expain. It wouldn't have been easy to tell for Coatzin when Strings came back until she spoke. "I would say Quetzalcoatls are a sham from people who were high of cacao and probably marijuana but okay. This universe has legit Quetzalcoatl," there was another pause, "You're not mentally or physically imperfect are you? Hybrids can be very, very problematic, you know."

Coatzin tilted her head a bit but didn’t dared to interrupt String’s thoughts. She was a bit curious about what could be going through her head, but after the small talk with her she didn’t want to get on String’s bad side and se highly preferred to bite her tongue for a bit, hoping that later there would be just enough time for them to talk about whatever without this odd tension on the air.

Coatzin started to use her light powers to create a small sphere of light, not bigger than an average marble, which changed colors in a random way and started to play with it. Though she couldn’t touch it, since light obviously couldn’t be touched, she still acted like if she could, juggling it between her hands. It was then when string’s vice pulled her away from her thoughts, making the small marble of light vanish in thin air.

“Well, we love chocolate, but I can assure you that Quetzalcoatls are very real, my dad is a full Quetzalcoatl after all” At the next question she just looked at herself, opening her wings an bit and moving her long snake tail behind her “Hum…well, I had a couple of problems with my tail, you know, people stepping on it or closing doors on it, what hurts quite a lot, but out of that I never had any trouble by being an hybrid. The major problem may be that my human body is a bit weaker than the average, but my wings and tail are really strong, so I guess that it makes up for that” Coatzin didn’t mentioned her little problematic alter-ego, hard enough was being explain herself to have to explain Mikistli as well.

At Coatzin's response, Strings let out an unlady-like chortle. "You're adorable, you know that?" That may have been partially sarcastic. It may have had some bits of being genuinely convinced Coatzin was cute but Strings's voice never sounded like it.

"I wasn't talking about day-to-day problems of having extra appendages humans aren't familiar with, 'kay? I was talking health here. Did you know, animal hybrids are either infertile or mentally disabled?" That was probably an unpleasant way to put things but Strings had never paid attention to such trifles. She says things as she thinks and that was all that mattered to her.

Strings leaned forward, her face literally expressionless, "But I guess that doesn't prove that are you're the latter," she said, her voice was calm and smooth for a moment but after that pause it went back to normal, "So what's a kid like you doing out here? Forest adventure? Joining the ranks of forest denizens? Hm?"

“Uh…” Coatzin wasn’t exactly sure of how to reply to String’s words, she obviously wasn’t mentally disabled and she could show that to String right there and then. Yeah, she wasn’t the smartest girl on Earth, but she was still fairly smart and…hum…all that non-mentally disabled stuff. And she wasn’t infertile…maybe…probably…actually she had no idea since she never had any lewd activities before…Ahem! Ok, time to change the subject before she started to blush a bit too much with those thoughts.

“Well, actually I just came here to explore, this place seemed to be interesting” She admitted, she loved to explore anything new around her, and she had always loved forest, so this place obviously was a must. Part of her wished that she had earned about how dangerous the place was before daring to come here, and the other was actually happy, since she go to meet Strings.

“By the way, why do you live here? I mean, wouldn’t it be nicer if you lived in the city where you ca make friends instead of being all alone? If you want to we can go there together, I can even cook you something or we can play some videogames…” She wasn’t sure of why Strings would like to live here, isolated from the rest of the world and being considered just a scary thing between all the scary things around them.

[[ OOC: coatzin u adorable bby ]]

"Iiiiinteresting?" Strings echoed, stretching out the first syllable of the word. True, for adventurers, daredevils and those that have death wishes alike, the Forbidden Forest was an ideal place to go. Strings had a particular interest for the first two because it was like they were asking for it and yet they didn't want to die too soon. Those were her favorite playthings. "I'm not surprised but you should do your research thoroughly, sweetie. Unless you got a death wish on 'ya," she told Coatzin bluntly.

"You're asking my why I live away from civilization?" Strings changed her sitting position, that she was sitting on her legs now. "Darling, let me ask you a question: do you listen to rumors around these parts of town?" he asked in a singy-song tune. The rumors were there was a faceless woman who not-so-secretly lived inside the forest and in addition to that she was dangerous. And truth be told, even Strings didn't want to carry that around town. "Do you want to put people in danger?"

(OOC: A bit too innocent and friendly for her own good X3)

“I…uh…” Well, Coatzin obviously didn’t had any death wishes, actually the simple thought of being in lethal danger made some shivers run down her spine, death was one of her bigger fears and she didn’t like thinking about that kind of stuff. She tried to shake the feeling off before paying attention to Strings once more.

She probably should think more about doing research before throwing herself into the unknown, but sometimes her curiosity could more than her “Well…no, actually I hadn’t, I’m fairly new around Manta Carlos, so I hadn’t listened to many rumors” If she had she obviously would’ve come better prepared and during the day. But now here she was, at night with nothing more than her precious backpack, that didn’t hand much things that could help her if she got into any kind of trouble.

“With all respect…I don’t know if you’re being too hard to yourself. You may be scary, I won’t deny that, but so far I think that you’re actually a really cool girl with some crazy abilities and wonderful personality” Well, at least while she’s in good mood, she wasn’t sure if she would want to cross paths with her when she is in bad mood, but then everyone had a dark side after all.

For the first time in the entire discussion they've been having, Strings finally moved her arms, but only to bury her face in her hands. Of course. The dumb ones are always the new ones. Why does she ever bother? Again, Strings glitched out of plain sight and appeared right behind Coatzin, their backs facing one another.

"The Slenderman joke isn't new, you know that?" Strings began, "The disappearances aren't just rumors and people do die here." There was a strange calm in her voice but it was all the more threatening as she explained the situation. "People come to the forest prepared for the worst. Some die, some go insane, and a select few leave unscathed when they're particularly lucky."

Strings turned around to face Coatzin, "I admit I'm flattered you think so optimistically about me but you said it yourself. You're new. You don't know yet. You don't really know about the rumors. You don't really know about
