Jaquan’s crew sat waiting for him just outside the entrance of the club. He was thankful for them. With all his admirers, it was easy to lose track of what was important. To the fans, his victories could seem like inevitable ends to a game. These three, his trusted friends, helped him to stay on top of the game. They helped him train. They went through his hardships and frustrations with him. They deserved to be here just as much as he did. Catlin seemed to agree with him. She made dress clothes for all of them. They were just as dazzling as his coal-lined suit.
The purple skinned Neely wore a somewhat white suit and pants and light blue tie. He was at a table looking into the room. Jaquan could see the back of the suit where the realistic image of a glowing blue arrow was placed. His coat was enchanted to make the arrow look like it was moving at high speeds through clouds though it stayed in the same position on his coat. The arrow itself was lit with a light blue flame. The image of clouds swept through his clothes, continually changing the pattern.
Liana wore a simple but elegant black dress. It matched her black skin and showed off her figure nicely. On the lower right leg was a flame that came up to her knee. It was a convincing image glowing brightly.
Catlin saved the best dress for herself, red and over the right shoulder exposing most of her left wing. The open section went nearly down to her hip showing off her perfect green skin and some of her tan spots. All around her dress were small sequins. They were brilliant as the light hit them. Instead of simply reflecting the light, small flames appeared as the light hit. As more light that hit her, more flame would appear. She stood in the light waiting, so it looked as though her whole dress was a fire.
“Fire themed,” Jaquan said honestly amazed as he approached “Catlin, you’ve outdone yourself this time.” Her enchants had gotten much stronger since she started learning the Unholy Talent Set. “Did you use your new talents again?”
“Don’t you know it,” she replied rising to meet him, “I didn’t turn,” she paused to correct herself, “that much, this time.” Her enchanting was enhanced by the new Unholy Talent Set but using them had a drawback. Turning into a large beast was a natural side effect of using the Unholy Talents too much. She enjoyed going wild every now and then. The reckless freedom was very liberating though she often caused damage, to everything.
“Be careful next time,” Jaquan said concerned as he hugged the short lady lightly. The fire dress was of course an illusion just like the burning coals on his suit. He really did appreciate the clothing, but if she hurt herself while making them, it would not be worth the glamour.
“We ready to go in then,” Neely finally spoke up in his quiet tone, almost mumbling.
“I don’t see why not,” Liana responded for all of them.
With the last and greatest member of the team there, they all went in together as The BigBad Crew.
