Character(s): Soma Cruz and Maleficent
Content: A meeting between the two.
Setting: Outside City Hall
Time: Midnight \o/
Warnings: Nooone for now.


Maleficent certainly hoped Hades wouldn't make a habit of dropping every person who wanted to speak to them on her hands. She would be most displeased if there were too many repeats of this. This time, however, she let it slide as her interest was vaguely peaked. At least enough to spare a few minutes of her time.

For now she remained hidden through magical means, waiting for her visitor. She didn't particularly want to attract any unplanned visitors, after all.

Soma arrived at a few minutes to midnight, walking instead of taking a more... scenic route. One never gets a second chance to make a first impression, after all, and casual displays of power were seldom well received. He had on his long coat, turtleneck, jeans, and boots, and the silver and jade charm Mina had made for him during their brief time back home.

His sword had been left behind; he had other means of defense at his disposal, after all, and if Hades was any indication, it likely wasn't going to do him a lot of good to start with. But for his rings, he was just what he seemed - a young man, albeit one possessed of rather more unique abilities than most.

He did seem to appear to be nothing more than just a young man, yet there was something interesting about him, certainly. It was enough that Maleficent didn't wait too long to make her enterance.

A green glowing orb appeared from the thorns, floating down to the pavement, expanding and spreading momentarily into green flames as a dark robed figure formed within them. They flames died away and the light shrunk and stretched into the staff she grasped in her long, thin fingers.

"Greetings, my visitor," she said, raising a hand briefly before moving it to pet the beak of her pet raven, who'd flown from somewhere above and landed on her shoulder.

Ahh, what was that about casual displays of power? Maleficent didn't disappoint. She was the classic, textbook evil witch, right down to the pale green skin and black hat. That she had arrived in a ball of light that burst into fire detracted not at all from that fact, and Soma felt an aura of power he had only been close to a few times - once in Death's clock tower, and again in the depths of the castle where none but its lord could go. But it was nothing he could not handle.

He bowed his head in greeting, and with a soft pop, a tiny blue creature came into being over his left shoulder, hovering there with what looked like a golden trident in its claws. His familiar - well, one of them - was an imp, a classic demon in miniature, right down to the horns. "Greetings, Lady Maleficent," he said, his greeting formal but not without a hint of cordiality. "That was quite an entrance." He even gave her the hint of a smile; this was a game he knew how to play.

She would have scoffed at the idea of being anything 'textbook', much less a common witch. While many did call her as such, she was no mere witch.

The sorceress lightly pet Diablo softly. Maleficent was happy to play the game, for now. She was happy to be pleasant, although perhaps he was trying a little too hard, if he felt that was truly impressive. However, all she did was smile. "Well, one must keep up with appearances," she replied.

"So, what is it you wished to speak to me about?" she questioned, sounding curious.
