Jarl Korir of Winterhold

You have committed crimes against Winterhold and her people, what do you have to say in your defense?

Angela

I'm guilty of those crimes Jarl Korir and accept my punishment

NBwKcxOZ_o.png

Jarl Korir

Then it is clear what shall become of you, Guards!

Take her to the Chill

Xavier

You have chosen your fate, I can no longer help you.

Farewell Angela

Angela

This was my choice to make, not yours!

Mercy

No! It was our choice to make and you screwed us both!

ctR8e59q_o.png

Angela

We deserve to be locked up for good and forgotten for what we've done!

Mercy

And now that's whats gonna happen, thanks to your sudden moral compass Angela

MkSflpuI_o.png

Angela

Just leave me alone Mercy!

Mercy

Fine! I will leave you and never come back!

 

 

 

 

 

Sometime later...

Angela

<Yawning> Gods... is it morning already?

HCCRbEI7_o.png

Mercy

You're an idiot!

Angela

I did what I had to.

gFzg7UZE_o.png

Mercy

If you had not confessed to that crime then we would not be locked up in the frozen shit whole of a jail!

Angela

I had to confess, we are guilty of it!

LRpo0NHg_o.png

Mercy

That Khajit was a selling fake Moon Sugar, he caused two innocent students from the College to die thanks to his lies!

He got what he deserved

Angela

We should have reported him, not... you know?

i41bjGOz_o.png

Mercy

Murder him? Why? So he can sneak out of jail, and so it all over again? No, you know why we kill and you know why we lie. It's how we have survived so long without getting caught!

Angela

Mercy we have killed countless people, if they knew just how many then we would be facing the executioners block right now!

Ye5AD7lQ_o.png

Mercy

We only kill bad people, people who would have gotten away with it. Who deserved it! He deserved it!

Angela

Like that Argonian Hunter? What did he ever do?

IcR5LiWJ_o.png

Mercy

He was a Shadowscale from the Dark Brotherhood!

Angela

He was a simple Hunter! And we killed him!

zSofn32I_o.png

Mercy

Deny it all you want Sis, we have a code. You save the good people and I kill the bad people. I've never broken it!

Angela

And I have saved more lives then you've taken.

People are alive right now because of me!

2yKcn2nu_o.png

Mercy

And now people are gonna die because we are locked in this frozen hell, they are out there dying Angela!

Did you not think of that?

Angela

I know that! I've sacrificed my freedom to that some will live!

Yu5Jnq0U_o.png

Mercy

Your a fool and--

Angela

What the?

jLT9Lz9N_o.png

Mephala

Oh no please do continue. No? Very well then.

Greetings Mortals. I am known as Mephala, Daedric Prince of Sex, Lies and Murder by your kind

Yuf5hKTm_o.png

Mercy

Great now there is a Daedric Prince in our Cell. Well done Sister

Angela

Why... why are you here? What do you want?

SLa2xR3C_o.png

Mephala

I want you, both of you.

FXI0b95U_o.png

Angela

Both... of us?

Mercy

Wait! She can see me? You can see me?

0rcGjNYM_o.png

Mephala

I know of you, and I have watched you for some time. I am very impressed with you both. Your skills are quite legendary

Xn8uFlNN_o.png

Mercy

Okay either I'm now seeing shit or--

Angela

What is it you want from us Daedra?

3sy7YedR_o.png

Mephala

Lots of things, but that is not the question you should be asking, the question is, what can I do for you both?

FoXBQMt5_o.png

Mephala

I have watched many mortals lie throughout time, I have watched many more have sex and I have watched countless murders. Yet none were as, entertaining as yours were.

hJli6Dl2_o.png

Angela

I'm not a Murder!

Mercy

Yeah, she saves lives and I take'em

Mephala

Oh it is quiet fascinating to see a mortal with two personalities inside one body function so well, it's almost like art. You have no idea how rare that is, or how rare that both can go exist at the same time?

phHoM9IQ_o.png

Mercy

Yeah blah blah I'm crazy. We've heard it all before!

Angela

If you here just to taunt us, it won't work because far worse then you have tried and failed to intimidate us into be afraid

Ng79u17r_o.png

Mercy

Why are you even here?

Don't you have a Legion of Assassins to order about?

Angela

Mercy that's enough! We do not want to pissed her offCzKT2SlE_o.png

Mephala

Indeed, you do not. Yet, still you entertain me.

This is why I am here, why I am offering you a chance of greatness

MM90PJyP_o.png

Mephala

A chance at freedom, for both of you.

MV5efvU7_o.png

Mercy

Both of us? As in what?

Angela

You don't mean?

0toXWCYb_o.png

Mephala

I'll show you both

EwDrEvWo_o.png YcC0HstY_o.png zor0uFh9_o.png

Angela / Mercy

Wow!

DFv6gQXU_o.png

Mephala

Behold. My mortals friends and welcome, to my Sanctuary

jhbKSUbG_o.png

Mephala

This is where my followers come, and enjoy themselves far away from the preying eyes on Tamriel. They can enjoy luxuries and pleasures not found elsewhere on the mortal relm.

CGNu5m0E_o.png

Angela

Whatever it is you plan on getting out of this, you won't.

We know all about you and your webs of lies.

We are not buying into this shit!

Mercy

Ignore her, she's too good willed for her own good.

I on the other hand am happy to serve you, if I get to keep this sweet new body?

pP5IYXWV_o.png

Mephala

Ha ha... Yes, I reward my followers well. But you Angela are still not convinced? Then let me tell you that while it is true that we Daedra are not to be trusted. But we are not all as cruel as Bal and Dagon are. I, like you enjoy the little deeds life offers.

A lie here, a kiss there. It matters not.

QCPHOady_o.png

Angela

You want us to forsake the Divines and worship you instead?

Mercy

Come on Ange, what's not to like about that?

I get a sweet body and you get to see it and...

zrIdmdxU_o.png

Mephala

I am not asking you to forsake them, I'm asking you to embrace them. You can worship the Aedra as much as you want, but your Sister here has already decided her fate and your fates are tied to another. So will you join us, or will you be cast out? Alone forever Angela!

Angela

Fine... I will do as you ask. For now

zoJG8wTn_o.png

Mephala

Goooood. For decades I have watched the two of you, and it has impressed me beyond measure which is why I offer you this chance to improve upon yourselves

Ua1qVuMD_o.png

Mephala

In order for this, you must swear your service and your soul to me, and you will become mine!

jS33SxJu_o.png

Mephala

What say you?

oSD4TUKV_o.png

Angela / Mercy

We offer our soul in servitude to Lady Mephala, The Webspinner, the Spider, Mistress of Lies and Whisper of murder.

From this day forward, our souls, our bodies are yours to command. We live to serve you and only you.

Mephala

Good, very good indeed my little mortals. I accept your split soul

xMzny2ji_o.png

Mercy / Angela

How may we serve our Mistress?

exm8iWg1_o.png

Mephala

Hehm! Oh my loyal followers, I have just the task for you.

I believe you are familiar with The Vigilant of Stendar yes?

Mercy

Yes, we have--

Angela

Crossed paths with them.

Jo67qL0o_o.png

Mephala

Ah, yes. How could I forget? The Vigil in Skyrim may have been weakened by Bal's abominations, but they are not finished yet. They plan with one final effort plan to cleanse all Daedric Shrines in Skyrim. Their target is Dagon's very shrine near the small town of Morthal.

Mercy

Stupid fools. Dagon will have Daedra guarding it

Angela

The Vigil are trained to fight Daedra Mercy, but still they are no match for Dagons Daedra.

zUfav4Ih_o.png

Mercy

You want us to kill them Mistress? Rid Dagon of the pleasure?

Mephala

No, not yet at least. I wish you to kill them but not until I command it. Angela you will seek out the Vigil in Morthal and assist them in anyway they ask, use your skills to your advantage. You my dear sweet Mercy, you will go to Dagons Shrine and deal with whatever Daedra Dagon has guarding the shrine. Then once done, help your Sister here with whatever the Vigil needs.

Angela

I'll do as you command, for my Sisters sake.

2bQZm9sp_o.png

Mephala

Good. This is going to be entertaining

Mercy

How will we know when it's time Mistress?

Angela

I was about to ask that

sNwDLZrD_o.png

Mephala

I will seek you out and speak to you, and only you. After this deed is done, will I reward you with great power. This body is just the beginning my Children

Mercy

I like the body, but power is nice too

Angela

I'll do what it is needed Mistress

Une3D3Sk_o.png

Mephala

I know you will. Now, before I send you off onto your ask. We should, oh how do you mortals put it? "Seal the deal?" Yes I am sure thats what you say.

Mercy

You desire sex from us? We are happy to please you

Angela

Yes, some more then others though.

Overall, interesting take indeed, with the in media rez and Mephala's twist improving the pace quite significantly. Mephala's character design increases even more the effect (the crackled skin comboes amazingly with the black eyes), her ash-like design and outfit really make her presence quite alien and intimidating.

Spoiler

SLa2xR3C_o.png

It also shows you did some effort dialogue-wise, differentiating the characters lines and vocabulary a bit better than usual (even though it decreased at the end, particularly with Mephala searching her words). Mercy's design is as good as usual, and her origin clearer. However, Angela's (nice name ^^) design is a bit lesser, and she appears behaving a bit less consistently than her double. And unless I missed something, Mercy's gaining a physical form isn't really explained.

 

The humor also helps here and there regardless, that line was hilarious :

Glad you got your creative spark back! Good job with the entry!

I like what you did with this improved take on the Mercy storyline. 

It wasn't very clear to me where to put this new entry. Maybe this is just because I still know her old entries, but for some time I kept wondering where this belongs.

Maybe one or two clear sentences in the beginning could have solved this problem. 

 

I agree with Tirloque, great job on the Mephala character design, she really differs from the rest, both in appearance and in character tone. 

Great job Tex, glad to have you back on the storytellers side.

Too bad, I haven't read the old version so I can't comment anything about an improvement =O
But all in all, I liked it. The humor is indeed great and the idea to show two personalities in one person by this way is quiete interesting. To FFF scene in the end made it perfect =D

So Malicia is giving tips in care products for years I see ;) Guess I know her profession when she is giving up her life as adventurer.

She's quite informed regarding cosmetics and venereal diseases treatment. Rather than her profession, it hints her main interests as a society woman. :classic_biggrin:

 

Malicia : « I'm very good at giving health advices. That's 'cause I'm very expert at being healthy, yes. :classic_sleepy: »
