ooc : no prob. i should probibly get going about then too.

ic : **nothing in the main area, so he pushes through tbe swinging door into the kitchen, wary of the sharp objects and keeping his eyes moving**

*Shaed wanders in and sees Jon sitting at the bar*

Heya Jon. how're things? Any huge dramas that I've missed since I was last here?

*grabs herself a coke from the bar, then settles down on a stool next to Jon*

"see you met the other 'resident'"

Ju stood by the large sink. watching Vaga.

"gotta admit... of all the people I've seen here... I never expected you to be the first to win. Like the look by the way. Keep doing what you do... er... did and perhaps there's hope after all."

Ju motioned to the large walk-in freezer... when Vaga looks at the freezer and back, Ju is gone... at the sink, a ripe apple sits.

*Shaed wanders in and sees Jon sitting at the bar*

*puts his arm around Shaed*
Heya Shaed, things are ok, and you? No big dramas, I don't... think.
*he screwed up his face in concentration, then shook his head and gave up*
Never mind, how are you?

so this is all just a silly contest then.
**he smirked to himself and loked at the fridge again**
i'm game.
**he spoke confidently and stepped forward, opening the fridge**

OOC: Hiya Shaed!... sorry can't talk right now... but I'm trapped in a runnaway storyline. :p

I'm good... school's going well... keeping myself busy with art projects.

Though after today's biology lesson, my stomach sort of hurts from the whole 'ritualistic seppuku with a biro' thing. Stupid people and their lack of knowing about how to write hypothesis...es...ses...

:p

Glad to see you're as silly as ever. Some things never change eh? *nudges*
How is the Myrth pony anyway?;)

so this is all just a silly contest then.
**he smirked to himself and loked at the fridge again**
i'm game.
**he spoke confidently and stepped forward, opening the fridge**The Fridge door opens... but instead of a blast of cold air, a wind laces with a dampness swirls around you. a stairwell decends into the darkness.

In the mirrored door of the freezer, you notice a white feather in your wing.

Glad to see you're as silly as ever. Some things never change eh? *nudges*
How is the Myrth pony anyway?;)

Shhhhhhh... someone might hear you!
>.>
<.<

'sgoing great though... all I have to do now is finish rehairing, make the wings, and then somehow do the symbol ^.^

Right now I can't decide if he should have a full red streak or the more tradition half-streak though... it's annoying me >.<

**he looked at the feather and cocked an eyebrow**
now that looks familiar...
**he put the thought out of his ming and descended the staircase. sooner her found her, the sooners her could get her out, the better**

At the bottom of the stairs, it opens up into a natural cavern... the sides are covered in vines bearing sweet smelling flowers. there is a faint glow coming from the far end of the tunnel.

[SIZE=1]Right now I can't decide if he should have a full red streak or the more tradition half-streak though... it's annoying me >.<
Full red would be my suggestion, but I'm sure you'll look great whichever you pick.

**he walked forward through the tunnel, running a hand along the wall, clipping a few of the flowers from it and eventually reaches the end**

halfway through the tunnel, the vines come alive... entangling you and pinning you in the center of the tunnel... slowly they start to constrict.

Shhhhhhh... someone might hear you!

hey jon... take shaed to the Cotn Club... she'll have fun there :D

**he stiffle a yelp of surprise, but managed to reach into his coat pocket before the vine took him completely. he flipped his lighter open and lit it, then concentrated, fexpanded the little tounge of flame into a a ball of fire, which he contenued to make grow until it surounded him completely, burning the vines and flowers to ash. he now stood inside the dome of fire and contenued to walk foreward, moving the dome with him and insinerating the vines as they tried to recapture him**

at the end of the tunnel, the fire dome dissapears... the air is now think with the stench of burnned plants and... flesh?

ahead, the cavern is large... the rocks glisten with moss... in the center is a tree. green and growing in the dark dampness of the cave.

you also feel... different... and yet... not.

Shaed? I'm slightly worried, I haven't seen Gide or LP or Kel since I came back. I want to go back to COTN Club to find them. Want to come with me?
*puts on coat and steps outside*

**a shiver went down his spine as he entered and walked slowly towards the tree, eyeing the walls**

Only... what on earth is the COTN Club?

OOC: hey.... you were in my room yesterday :confused:

**a shiver went down his spine as he entered and walked slowly towards the tree, eyeing the walls**As you get near the tree... the air gets thick with a sickenly sweet scent... you begin to get tired... sleepy in fact...

**he stops for a moment and shakess his head, trying to clear it**
sleep inducing pollen... gotta be...
**he slipped one arm out of the jacket and tore off enough cloth to cover his nose and mouth with, then put the jacket back on and contenued forward**

Uh, sure I guess. *grabs her bag and tags along behind Jon as he steps outside*

Only... what on earth is the COTN Club?
Great.
COTN Club is a club, which was owned by SilverCities. It got destroyed by a demon. Gide took it into her head to go back there, I don't know why, and the demon is still there. Now Kel and Gide are in there, maybe others. The demon seems to be playing pranks, it pretended to be Traja for me, then I turned away and it was suddenly her corpse. I warn you in advance that you will see things that may fool you. Do not trust anything or anyone in there ok?

OOC: hey.... you were in my room yesterday :confused:
ooc: DOH! Ah well, my fault. I apologise!

Hrm. I think I can manage that.

As you continue on... you're eyelids start to get heavy... then they finally shut.


You wake up in a lush bedroom. the sun is streaming through the windows.

**sit up straight and looks around**
what the...

Hrm. I think I can manage that.
I mean it Shaed, I don't want to see you stuck in there forever. This is incredibly important.
*he hugged her gently and they continued walking, until they reached the ruins of the COTN*
Ready Shaed? Good luck....

Hrm. I think I can manage that.
About a mile away from the Cotn Club. the two of you notice that the trees are twisted and warped. the bark and leaves are strange colors... like spring and autum are waging a war within the leaves themselves.

ahead you see the Cotn Club... there is smoke waifing up from the chiminy and some of the lights in the rooms are on.

OOC: Pics! Pics! me wanna see pics when you're done!

hey jon... take shaed to the Cotn Club... she'll have fun there :D

OOC: here's a work-in-progress photo (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v231/Shaed/Img01114.jpg)

His eyes are a lot darker than the photo makes them look... and he still needs a tail and most of his hair... and... wings and a symbol...

But I'm loving him so far. Just look at the adorable ickle horns! ^.^

*hopes that Myrth doesn't read the PC threads...*

Don't worry about me, I can hold my own in the face of mind-fuckery. Well, usually. Well, I assume.

hrm.

**sit up straight and looks around**
what the...As you sit in bed wondering what's happening... a small child (around 2yrs old) runs in... looks at you, and smiles... with a childish laugh she runs out the door.

*he took a deep breath and stepped over the threshold of the club*
I'll see you at the end of this I hope Shaed, I love you.
*he walked towards the stairs and headed up them*

ooc: Too late Ju, we're already there! Delete your post.how'd you get there? walk? drive? anything besides instant teleportation will still show you those scenes... besides, earlier post I describe the place... and it's not a ruin anymore. so this discription is also for you, to show you the changes not only to the landscape but to the "ruins" as well.

**watches after the girl for a moment and tries to break through whatever illussion it is that has him this time, but being unable to do so, he rools off the bed and follows the child**

*he took a deep breath and stepped over the threshold of the club*
I'll see you at the end of this I hope Shaed, I love you.
*he walked towards the stairs and headed up them*up one flight onto the second floor you find yourself in a long hallway... all the doors stand open...exept one.

**watches after the girl for a moment and tries to break through whatever illussion it is that has him this time, but being unable to do so, he rools off the bed and follows the child**the Club is filled with people... none of whom you reconize. all seem to be gabbing nonsenily with each other.

there is no sign of the child.

I'll see you at the end of this I hope Shaed, I love you.

*Stands for a second, looking after Jon and wondering what on earth she's meant to do here on her own. Assuming that Jon is going to be finding Gides and Kel, Shaed decides to explore the club a bit... see if she can find anything out about this demon Jon kept mentioning. Rather than heading up the stairs in the direction Jon went, she heads across the foyer and through a door in the furthest corner*

up one flight onto the second floor you find yourself in a long hallway... all the doors stand open...exept one.
*Jon walked down the hall, looking into each room. Nothing interesting in any of them. He saw the closed door*
The most interesting things usually lie behind closed doors. Here goes nothing. I'm going to die with Tinks and Dem thinking I'm a lunatic, having brought Shaed here, probably to her death, and failing to find everyone.
*He slowly tried the handle of the door and pushed it down*

where the hell is this bloody demon leading me?
**he looks around the club, but seeing no familir faces, he just pushes through up the nearest tabel and jumps up on it**

OOC: Wow...one might think you're obsessed with kids. Frankly I'm creeped out by it, so mission accomplished, I guess. Anyway, I got in a fight tonight and I have an exam tomorrow so I can't/shouldn't stay on for long at all.

ooc : worry to hear that Gael.
'd you win?

*He slowly tried the handle of the door and pushed it down*"SURPRISE!"

Inside, everyone is standing there... Gides, Ju, Tinks, LP... a large banner hangs from the wall... "TO JON... A VERY GOOD FELLOW." the table is laden with food and Tinks grabs your arm and whispers...
"Finally... didn't think you'll make it."

OOC: Of course I won. It's my job to win. :D I'm ok anyway. Just a few minor scratches and whatnot.

OOC: Wow...one might think you're obsessed with kids. Frankly I'm creeped out by it, so mission accomplished, I guess. Anyway, I got in a fight tonight and I have an exam tomorrow so I can't/shouldn't stay on for long at all.it's all planned...

and there is an underlining theme going on. Change in schedule...so I can't stay long either.

ooc : good. make sure you tend to those though. had a fight like that once. one got all infected. not fun.

ooc: Well done Gael! Atta girl!:p

IC:
*Jon shook his arm free and grinned wryly*
Yeah, sure, whatever you say. Nice try demon!
*Backs out of the room*
The demon isn't very original, then again, he isn't to know I spoke to LP. I fell for it a few days ago, not again though. He'll have to do better than that.

where the hell is this bloody demon leading me?
**he looks around the club, but seeing no familir faces, he just pushes through up the nearest tabel and jumps up on it**Vaga... need to put you on hold for now. Gotta get some answers from Gides... since you're now where she is... ;)

as you near the door.... you hear muffled crying...

*Shaed stops... listening to the sobbing, feeling the first trickles of adrenalin entering her system, knowing it would cloud her judgement if she let her fight-or-flight system get out of control. After a few seconds, she moves forward again, turning the handle of the door, before stepping back. As the door opens slightly, the sobbing becomes clearer.

After a few more seconds of waiting, and after she's sure she's as calm as she can be, Shaed nudges the door open with her foot and looks into the room*

ooc : no prob. i'll just entertain myself.

ic : **the guy who's drink he knocked over grabs his foot and pulls at him, causing him to loose his balence and fall into the crowd, pissing off a few more people. before long, theres a nice bar fight goin on between himself and about 7 other people**
i know she's close. i can feel it.

IC: as you leave the room... the door slams shut... followed by all the other doors in the hallway. the sound of clapping is heard behind you.

OOC: I'll be fine. Thanks for the concern though. :) I'm going to bed now.

IC:
*Ju seemed to disappear as she followed him, almost as if she couldn't keep up. She forced herself to calm down and focus. She could still sense the demon, so apparantly it hadn't turned her completely human. What had Ju meant, "fighting for Life?" That was a clue, she was sure of it. What to make of it was another story all together. As she wandered through the half-lit room, she suddenly wished she had asked LP about this place before coming back.*

*Shaed stops... listening to the sobbing, feeling the first trickles of adrenalin entering her system, knowing it would cloud her judgement if she let her fight-or-flight system get out of control.

After a few more seconds of waiting, and after she's sure she's as calm as she can be, Shaed nudges the door open with her foot and looks into the room*it's a broom closet... inside a child.. about two years old is crying. when the door opens, she whimpers and tries to hide behind the bucket.

*thinks for a second*
There's a phrase for such situations. I believe its called "bugger!"
*Jon didn't dare turn around, instead he started trying door handles at random, hoping one of them would open*

**he'd subdued his attackers, only taking a few hits and minor bruises. he made his way to one of the darker corners of the room with less people in it and dropped to the floor, crosses his legs and began to meditate, stretching himself beyond his physical self and he searched for the others**

occ : thanks.

OOC: Good night.

the next door you open leads into an empty bedroom. as you enter, the door slams shut.
*Jon looked around at the bedroom, then back at the door as it slammed shut*
Hmmm, damn. This is developing into quite an awkward situation. Ah well, I'll sit back and see what comes up next.
*he stood in the corner of the room so nobody could surprise him from behind*

it's a broom closet... inside a child.. about two years old is crying. when the door opens, she whimpers and tries to hide behind the bucket.

Hmmm... a strange child I've never seen before... hiding in a closet. She's either real, in which case - as long as she stays here - she'll be safe. Or she's the demon, or something created by the demon... in which case I don't have to worry about it being safe, but rather about getting away as quickly as possible... but, I'll need to make her stop crying...

*Shaed starts pawing through her backpack... right near the bottom she finds her cousin's old pacifier. But then she realises she can't make use of it without stepping into the broom closet... not something she wants to do. Stumped, she pauses. The child's stopped crying, but only momentarily, due more to fear than curiosity. Shaed waves the pacifier slowly, watching the child turning it's head to follow the movement. Then, crouching to lower her center of gravity, she reaches out and drops the pacifier within the child's reach, before scuttling back.

The child, having edged away as Shaed reached forward, studies the pacifier, and Shaed holds her breath, waiting to see if she'll take it*

"paranoid much?" Ju asked as he leaned against the wall... looking at Jon...
You know, this stopped fooling me first time. Why don't you just resume your usual form? I've seen scarier believe me. I've been possessed by scarier. Come on, you don't fool me anymore.

Come on, you don't fool me anymore."then wouldn't this be a clue that I am not trying to fool..." with a glance towards the door. Ju looks back at Jon. "Listen not much time... for some reason, I'm getting stronger but 'he' still outclasses me... so TTFN..." with that, Ju dives under the bed.

Outside, a low thudding footsteps make their way towards the door from the other side.

with a whimper... the child looks into Shaed's eyes... then tears start to roll down her cheeks as she seems to afraid to move.

*Cursing the child - and herself- under her breath, Shaed digs out a pencil from the from pocket of her bag and uses it to prod the pacifier closer to the child. Satisfyed that that's the most she can achieve without putting herself in an inordinate amount of danger, she backs up and quietly closes the closet door*

ooc: Does that mean that Ju is real? And that he's fighting the demon?

ooc: Does that mean that Ju is real? And that he's fighting the demon?OOC: Ju's not been seen for a while... so I really cannot say at this moment.

The clues are there... and there are more to find. The description of the landscape was important. which is why I left it there. And shaed had a very important comment about that. until she edited her post.

ooc: ok. I get it, thanks.

IC:
*Jon considered this for a minute*
This can't be real. Ju's only stregths is making food strong. However the footsteps outside seem real.
*Jon remained standing still in the corner, awaiting the arrival of whatever it was*

Ngh!

*reaching down quickly, before she's even had time to think, Shaed unclasps the childs arms and pulls her leg away. The child breaths in, ready to cry out, but Shaed reaches down quickly and puts one finger over it's mouth*

Shh... that wouldn't be good for anyone.

Damnit, why a two-year old? I can't *talk* to a two-year old. And I can't ditch it either. What the fuck do I do now?

*looking at the broom closet, Shaed realises that her first course of action was the best. The safest place for a child was in the broom closet... and the hairs on the back of her neck were telling her that getting away from this child might just be a good idea.

Quickly she reached down and scooped up the child and then, turning, placed it gently but firmly back in the broom closet. Then she closed the door and leaned against it, holding her breath.

In the closet, the child began to cry again, and Shaed closed her eyes. The feeling that she was failing some sort of test was maddening, but she stepped away from the closet door nonetheless, and headed - without much conscious thought - to the door on the opposite wall of the foyer*

ooc: ok. I get it, thanks.

the footsteps stop outside the door. it opens and Ju walks in.

"Jon? what are you doing here?"
*Jon groaned to himself*
This is pathetic, just play along, and everything will be fine.
I heard there was a good view, unfortunately I was given the room without windows. I'd tell you that I just saw you dive underneath the bed, but I have a feeling I won't see anything there, so I won't bother. And yourself? Hows life going for you here? I was considering ordering room service, only the phones are unplugged. You wouldn't mind running downstairs and getting me a steak and chips would you?

if you're hungry... (places a steak plate on the bed.) really... are you ok? last time I saw you, you were spending alot of time in the woods."

*Shaed steps closer, hesitantly, to try and work out what's so unusual about this mirror*you notice the stains on your reflection... the blood and ash stains on your reflection's leg and hands. you also notice the burnt scent of flesh and the sharp tang of electricity.

Yeah, the woods was fun, but I figured I may as well get proper rooms. This place was just as private as the woods, and I got a bed as well. Plus its free. I've been here for about a month now. My demon left me. *fake sniff* He decided I wasn't worth it anymore. *shrugs*. Good luck to him I say.

ahhh... demons? never knew you were dealing with Demons...

[starts backing away.] listen... let me go and... you obviously want your privacy... so.. I'll just.. leave you alone...

[Opens the door and leaves... never taking his eyes off of you.]

*runs after Ju and puts his arm around him, bringing him back into the room*
Nah, its ok. I could do with a friend to talk to. I can call him if you want?
*cuts finger on the edge of the bed, and within moments the air is swirling around in the room and it goes dark*

*cuts finger on the edge of the bed, and within moments the air is swirling around in the room and it goes dark*you hear hurried foosteps and the door closing. The darkness is all pervasive. and you feel only curiosity... then happines as the darkness leaves your body and the room returns to normal... Ju is gone and the door is closed.

the entire building shudders... then groans and finally the air gets heavy... it feels like a pecarious balance has been upset. the lights flicker and settle back into their steady glow.

Shaed: As you look into the mirror, the whole building shudders, then the glass goes dark... suddenly the broom closet door opens and the child runs out, very frightened and crying.

God DAMNIT.

Right. *Shaed stands, addressing no one in particular, assuming that whatever presence there is in the ruins will be able to hear her*

I'm not a kid person. Never have been. So bugger this and sod you.

*turning, ignoring the child, Shaed walks briskly up the stairs. She's rather more shaken by the mirror going dark than she'd like to admit, even to herself. The child's cries fade as she reaches the top of the stairwell*

you hear hurried foosteps and the door closing. The darkness is all pervasive. and you feel only curiosity... then happines as the darkness leaves your body and the room returns to normal... Ju is gone and the door is closed.
*shakes his head and opens the door to leave, which Ju forgot to lock*
Shaed! Nice to see you again!
*he gave Shaed a huge hug*
How were your experiences so far?

*hugs him back*

Well... there's a mirror that seems to like showing scorched flesh and bloody gore, at least to me. And there's a child downstairs that this place seems to think I should care for... but I really can't handle kids, so I'm not. How about you?

*pokes head round door*
errm hi!

I went into a room. Tinks and co were there, holding some sort of party. I'm not too social myself though so I excused myself and came into that room there. Ju appeared, told me I was paranoid, then dived under the bed. Ten seconds later he walked in through the door. He didn't seem overly pleased at the notion of meeting my demon, though I'm not giving up. I take it back by the way, we should go together ok? I'm not leaving you again.
*holds her*

*pokes head round door*
errm hi!
OOC: Hey norti... everyone's at the cotn club.

ooc: no, it was in reference to saying we should split up. My demon can still reappear at any time, he didn't appear yet! He didn't manage to before you left. *shrugs*
You'll see him yet.

ooc: no, it was in reference to saying we should split up. My demon can still reappear at any time, he didn't appear yet! He didn't manage to before you left. *shrugs*
You'll see him yet.actually... if you can 'feel' your demon... it is gone.

actually... if you can 'feel' your demon... it is gone.
ooc: Nah, he's definitely still around. He isn't summoning him again yet. I worked too hard on the demon idea for it to just go up in smoke like that.

yeah, i'm a bit worried, Jon was acting really weird yesterday

fancy errmm investigating?

yeah, but i don't know where to begin, Jon mentioned some place called the COTN club, he said I was there the other day and i watched TO get killed but i was away at a spa and i spoke to TO yesterday, I've never even heard of a COTN club

the what club? did he say where or even which direction its in?

nope, he ran off to show some newcomer around before i had chance to talk to him about it properly and i havn't seen him since

hmmm any ideas where to start? and has anyone else mention this cotn club?

like I said, no one else has really been around, the only other person i've spoke to is DF and he never mentioned it

(i think the word i intrusive)

hmmmm......i guess so, and i guess we could always just blame it on the pixies if he notices someone's been in there *grabs a big bunch of keys* come on then, we'll check Jon's room

ooc: Norti! Do you have anything to say in your defence?

Clues? Hmm, how about a pair of shoes which got muddy, so he took a different pair today. From the sole of the shoe they'll be able to match it to the tracks leading to COTN.

*climbs up the stairs and stands outside Jon's door* just so you know, i think this is very evil, Jon is my friend and i feel really bad! *finds the right key and unlocks the door* you sure you wanna do this?

ooc: Which translates as:
"I'm saying this now so that I have a defence later when Jon finds out. This way I can say I didn't want to do this and blame Norti instead."

*gets down to the bar area*

Jon groaned, Shaed had gone and he was sitting outside in the corridor. Wearily he decided to go back downstairs. He did so and walked outside, sitting by the front entry to the COTN Club.

*gets down to the bar area*

ju's got a hord of weapons here want something to protect your self with?
no, i don't think i'd have the nerve to use one

*they walk through the forest together its very dark with hardly any light inside it*

Jon heard a noise. He held his breath and counted. One.... two.... there!!!
He pinpointed the noise at the same moment that a rabbit came leaping out of the bushes and dashing away again.

ooc: How about you skip to the part of them arriving at COTN? Otherwise you'll be here all day, and I have other plans.

*as they're walking through the forest TInk spots some old ruins* hey Naughty what's that over there *points*

*He gave Tinks a hug, holding her to him*
I can't tell you how good it is to see you both.

We decided to have a group picnic together, thats where we were. If you're going inside, good luck.
