yep... a long time ago...

and it doesn't bode well... :(
I'm glad that I'm not the only one who realises.......

I thought yesterday I might be going out of my head!

sounds like a tale that needs to be told.
Aye... as much as I know... or remember. however, I came in near the end of the story.

I witnessed friends and lovers fighting each other... not just verbal sparring mind you, but... well it brought part of the roof down.

I also remember saying good bye to alot of people then *looks at Orchid* and not saying good bye to a whole lot more.

*Gives her a squeeze to reassure her.... and perhaps himself as well.*

Perhaps... well, I heard 'she' died... perhaps she's changed for the better.

*looks at Orchid and chuckles.*

then again.... after all, the feathers could've come from any bird.. as for the rose, well the only other black rose I saw was.... :(

I suppose its not a simple matter of ridding ourselves of the flower and running off the crow?

Was?

Maybe 'she' did die, but so was that rose dead yesterday....now look at it....

And that crow.....it drank blood from a glass!

Crow... second time you mentioned that...

OMG....Will...Ju....

Have you seen Noire at all.....she went off after the crow last night....LP and I let her go.........
:eek:
We were cowards.......

Was?someone I was close to... had a bad run in with a demon. From what I understood, she was posessed for a while. it tainted her. she would 'purge' herself by transferring the dark essance into other objects... trees, flowers... roses...

*grimly*
where did Noire go?

*hunter seemed to fade into exitance, sitting on the far corner of the bar*

*grimly*
where did Noire go?
*Points to the corridor.*

She followed that crow down there......she knew I never wanted her to go but.....

*Points to the corridor.*

She followed that crow down there......she knew I never wanted her to go but.....
*Will grabs the firearm under the bar and hurries to the corridor...the hallway is empty, the paneling intact, there is no sign of a portal.*

DAMN

Noire... hmmm...



Nah....

*stalks back into bar, eyes flashing, spies Hunter at the end of the bar*

You--spirit, wraith, ghost-- any chance you can percieve an interdimensional inversion or malovent spatial disturbance?

Noire... hmmm...



Nah....
What is it you're thinking Ju?

OOC
Gives Jolt a giant kick up the a**.......

*he smirked, but didnt bother looking up. he crossed his arms*

Noire is fine. it would only do harm to go about disturbing her at the moment.

What is it you're thinking Ju?

OOC
Gives Jolt a giant kick up the a**.......
oh... nuthing... probably just my imagination...

*nuzzles her neck and whispers into her ear...*
We might wanna keep a close eye on Noire if... when she returns.
OOC: you tell em!

*he smirked, but didnt bother looking up. he crossed his arms*

Noire is fine. it would only do harm to go about disturbing her at the moment.
*somewhat molified; but he looks suspiciously at Hunter*

that's good to hear; and what do you know about it?

only that if she does not finish she she has started the consequences could be very... shall we say... grave.

*he smriked to himself, then spun around and grabbed a bottle of rum off the shelf behind the bar*

oh... nuthing... probably just my imagination...

*nuzzles her neck and whispers into her ear...*
We might wanna keep a close eye on Noire if... when she returns.
OOC: you tell em!
*Giggles, and whispers back.*
Sure........
I just figured out how you did that...cool!

only that if she does not finish she she has started the consequences could be very... shall we say... grave.

*he smriked to himself, then spun around and grabbed a bottle of rum off the shelf behind the bar*
*embarrassed that he had showed so much concern. mutters under his breath*

something she probably should notta started in the first place.

*returns to the bar area in ill-humor*

*Giggles, and whispers back.*
Sure........
I just figured out how you did that...cool!
ooc: ;)

IC: seen Jayne around?

Kinda puzzled by her reaction to the gold coin...

ooc: ;)

IC: seen Jayne around?

Kinda puzzled by her reaction to the gold coin...
No...there's been no signs of her!

I was trying to make out what the picture was on the converse side of it....it looks like a cannon or something.....but I've now hidden it away safely!

I was also rather puzzled about the way she was missing for so long, then as soon as she re-appeared she wanted to sail back......

*satisfied with the unrest in the room, hunter hopped off the bar and wandered out on to the balcony*

OOC- folks we have freezing rain and ice here so everyone heading out for home early, I think I'll join them. If I can i'll try and rejoin when I get home.

I was also rather puzzled about the way she was missing for so long, then as soon as she re-appeared she wanted to sail back......
yea.. funny that.

OOC been up all night at work and now nodding off at the pc...
which wouldn't be so bad if I wasn't still at work... :fluffle:'s all.

Night Ju......
Hope to see you later Will....
:fluffle: all round......

*Ju left for his cabana, Will was busy outback, and Hunter had left also.
Orchid was alone, so she went to sit in a booth with a bottle of rum and a glass.*

*Will came back from the storage room with some bread, cheese, and meat. Sets platter down on bar.Grabs a glass and walks over to booth and sits across from Orchid*
I ...I think I'm responsible for maiming Noire's hand....

*Will came back from the storage room with some bread, cheese, and meat. Sets platter down on bar.Grabs a glass and walks around and sits on stool next to Orchid*

I ...I think I'm responsible for maiming Noire's hand....
Why.....what makes you think that?

Why.....what makes you think that?
the night she came in wounded, her hand was a bloody mess; she had already lost two fingers and the other two were hanging on by shreds...I took it upon myself to tend her wounds as best I could... the bleeding from the stumps of the two fingers she lost wouldn't stop, so I cauterized them shut with a heated iron. It did the trick. But since then I've found out she's a self-regenerating healer.... I suspect they would have entirely returned if I hadn't intervened....

And you have been living with the guilt ever since!

I'm sure I can't give you any advice except that what is meant to be, will be!

We all have secrets that make our concience twinge.....I think that Noire is not so worried about her hand.....

*Pats his hand....and smiles.*

*Jen entered with a smile and glanced around the barroom before gliding to her seat by the window and starting to draw a face that didn't belong to anyone who usually came to the bar*

*his bottle emptied, hunter slid out of the booth and retrieved another from the bar*

*Still sitting quietly in the booth, Orchids interest is taken by the sketching girl in the window.*

I think Ju called her Jen.....I wonder what she is sketching today.

*Jen looked down at the slightly gaunt face on her pad and then looked up straight at another woman, and she smiled*

*Feeling as though she was caught doing something she shouldn't have been, Orchid smiled and blushed, turning away quickly.*

*She chuckled a little and went back to add a little more detail to her sketch*

OOC
I have to go now.....
Bye!

IC
*As she passes the window seat with it's artistic occupant, Orchid smiles once more and speaks.*

Hello....I hope I don't seem too rude, but I have some errands to do so must be leaving....I'm Orchid by the way....

I must say I have seen some of your sketches and they are very good....most lifelike!

OOC: Night Orchid!

OOC: Goodnight!

Nice to meet you, albeit briefly. I'm Jen.

*Watches as Orchid disappears*

*Noire, waiting for an answer, seemed to fall asleep at the statue's feet. Not surprizing really, as the entire room lent itself to a crypt-like, yet trance-inducing air. The candles burned steadily, some flickering into darkness here and there. A crimson velvet cloak lay spread over the sleeping form of the woman to ward off the chill and heavy silence, placed there with a dread sense of benevolence.*

*hunter faded into existance, perching on one of the stelagmites reaching p out of the catacomb where noire now rested*

sleep well little one. your strength you shll need for the trial ahead.

*slid down off of the rock and fell the 10 feet to the ground. he landed as softly as if he had just stood up from a chair and walked over to the statu and stroked one of the wings*

soon

*he faded back out of existance and it was as if he was never there*

Jayne sat beside her bed, staring at the wall. After a few silent moments, she built the courageo to withdraw a small leatherbound book from her vest. It was old, the cover well-worn. It was a log from the Treasure.. in essence a personal account of her father's life. Yet she could not bring herself to lift the cover.

*Vex finished off the bottle of gin as he finished packing his things. he tidied up a bit and tossed the key on the bed. he had decided it had been a mistake for him to come back here and so now it was time to go. he switched out the light and pulled the door shut behind him*

* The peyote had been powerful and as Will chanted in the sweatlodge he had constructed; hidden, well-away from the clubhouse; his mind opened and the spirit of the hawk gathered in his soul. Liberated from his body, his conciousness flew in all directions. It soared to the sun, it penetrated the darkest crevices. His spirit-brother showed him the past and the future; and then returned him to the present. A showdown was coming. Sides would have to be taken. A hard choice would have to be made.
He awoke from his flying dreams and regained his earthbound center. On his way to the club he gathered herbs, and sprigs of holly. Back at the club, he went to his cabana and slipped his totem necklace around his neck. In his pocket he stuffed his leather pouch. In his belt he tucked a tommahawk. Once in the club he retreived his sword from the closet and attached the scabbard to his belt. He opened all the windows to let in as much light and fresh air as possible. On the bar counter he placed a small brazier and in it crumbled a small mound of herbs and holly. He set them afire and a pungent, cleansing, odor filled the room and then dissapated..... Will looked about satisfied, he put on a pot of coffee.... and waited.

Oh Mother, what is it you are weaving now?

Help me, the newest of your chosen, to understand what you wish.

*Orchid places a large beetle in front of the spider photo on her night stand, pins the spider charm onto the front of her sweater, and walk to the bar.*

*Sniffs.*
Hi Will.....something smells good...coffee?

*Takes the offered cup and sips the scalding liquid appreciatively.*

Mmmmm, thats good.....just what I needed!

You are looking....I don't know...somehow....younger...more....

I don't know how to describe it....just somehow younger!

*Shrugs*

Any sign of Noire yet?

oh, and I "cleaned " up the place a little bit

oh, and I "cleaned " up the place a little bit
I thought you always cleaned up......
At least...it always looks as though you have!

No, no sign of her for two days now. Thank you for the compliment. Probably the effect of a purification ritual I went through last night... My mind is more at ease, my body relaxed... I had lost sight of my soul's purpose. But today...today I know!

Purification ritual....sounds painful......
So...you know what your souls purpose is......wish I did!

Am I permitted to know whats on your mind?

ooc: Yum. Salami. :p

ic: She shivered beneath the blanket, asleep, and her brows twitched together briefly. A child's voice rang out through the stone hallways in her dream, calling her name. Dreading that he would stop her once more, dream-Noire leapt from the floor and slipped quietly through the door left ajar, following the child-like voice. Her steps quickened, and she turned a corner where the voice cried loudest. Masculine hands wrapped themselves around her upper arms, and she flexed as a reflex to stop him, but he drew her back to whisper into her hair. "Just forget it."

And as the stone melted down around her, the child's voice rang strongly through the corridors, "It's the wrong color."

Noire woke with a start, out of breath as though she'd been running. Her face was wet with tears, and she scrambled out of the crimson velvet she'd been tangled in. Edgy, she glanced every which way, back flat against the stone wall, and finally relaxed upon realizing that she was alone again, though the knowledge wasn't exactly comforting.

Rubbing her eyes sleepily, she slid down the wall to sit, knees up, against the wall. Speaking aloud ruefully, she muttered, "Damnit, I could use some coffee."

Dark fire danced around her fingertips, and a mug spun out of the flame, steaming. She took a sip and grimaced. Not as good as Will's, but it'll do.

Raven wondered into the club,built a fire in the hearth and then sat on the couch watching the flames. she kept the hood of her cloak up, hiding her face in the shadows.

*Random candles flickered in and out of existance at not-quite-rhythmic intervals. The only sounds came from Noire. Measured by the crushing silence, they seemed impossibly loud, however the sound was also swallowed up shortly after its utterance. It seemed not to carry somehow, despite all logic. A woman knelt before the statue, clad in a heavy black cloak. Her hands were folded and lost in her sleeves. The deep hood was pulled low over her face. She knelt, quietly observing.*

*walks up to the bar*
Any chance of a beer mate?


Cheers.

*looks around*

*coughs*



*drinks beer*

Thanks for that..

*leaves*

OOC- Finally back on after many adventures.

*Will wondered where he was and what the hell was going on as, when he came to the bar was empty....the last thing he remembered was he was about to tell Orchid about the coming struggle.... but, oh well.. he put on a fresh pot of coffee, got the fire blazing. While he waited for the coffee to perk he quietly fashioned a small necklace with small bits of pieces that he pulled out of his totem bag..*

*She didn't bother to walk into the club that day. Instead she made her way around and walked down to the beach. The water was so calm that she saw a broken reflection of herself. This whole unreality was too pure and innocent for her to believe. It had to be simple escapism. Her mind knew that she was mentally incapable of dealing with reality so it had built an idealized reality out of books and legends. She simply wasn't strong enough to help anyone else anymore, she'd even started failing herself, so here she was. She remembered when she was younger accomplishing many things and improving the lives of people around her, but all she had done for months was sleep and feebly try to resist powers that she could never stop. As she looked down at pieces of her reflection scattering she steeled herself. She could learn, even from fantasy. She would just have to find someone to teach her.*

*he chanted softly as he worked the leather..the light from the window encircled his head as he wove the feathers, gemstones, and herbs into their places... when he finished he smiled, satisfied at his work. Realizing the rich aroma of the coffee.. he poured himself a cup and basked, contented, in the sunlight..*

*the cry of the gulls, circling over the bay, awoke him from his rest...He remembered a time when a crow had warned him of the presence of a bear...it was a good memory. Rousing himself, he puttered about the club.

*For most of the day Will had avoided going into the back corridor. but eventually, curiousity won the day and he walked into the hallway down which Noire had disappeared. As before the paneling was intact and solid. The floor was undisturbed. It had been three days since the young woman had vanished into thin air ....*

OOC
Back once more!

IC
*Orchid woke from what seemed like a deep sleep, and tried to remember....
The last memory was of sitting in the bar drinking a coffee!

Will had looked different from usual and had mentioned a ritual of some kind, what was it?

Oh yes, purification.

Maybe it had been another dream!

Oh well...whatever!

She takes the short walk to the bar, and on entering, the same smell of coffee assails her nose.*

Hi Will...um....what day is it?

Ahhh...that would account for it then!
I think.

We once had a time warp here you know.....people were answering questions before they were asked...that became very confusing!

Anyways.....is there any of your so excellent coffee brewing?

Thanks...it should kick my brain into gear!

Were we in the middle of a conversation when this time-space thingy took place?

Do you think it has something to do with Noire and that crow?

Meg wandered in with her riding clothes on, Promise walkin in behind her with the little dog.

Hi Meg...hows things with you?

'things are good- thanks' she said, sitting down, getting Promise a drink and herself a martini and lemonade.

*quietly*

Noire's part of it-- but there's more to it than that. I fear that a reckoning is coming. A time when everyone will have to choose--- good or evil, the light or the darkness.... and it's not going to be pretty.

Meg wandered in with her riding clothes on, Promise walkin in behind her with the little dog.
hiya Meg, hiya Promise

What makes you think that Will....

*A cold shudder runs down her spine as she remembers....*

Just like last time.....

And those voices....what did thay say?
Oh yes....those that have been will be once more...

*Her hand shakes a little as she picks up her coffee cup.*

Raven wakes up from where she had fallen asleep infront of the fire, that had since gone out. yawning and streaching she set about rebuilding it.

'its a stray and she's called Luna' Promise struggled to say as she cuddled the dog tight.

'things are good- thanks' she said, sitting down, getting Promise a drink and herself a martini and lemonade.

I'm glad to hear it!

Promise is growing fast....

*Looking at Will, puts a finger to her lips and nods towards the small child.*

*pulls out the small necklace he crafted this morning*

*To Meg*

I made this for Promise this morning

Raven smiled beneath the hood of her cloak, as she watched the fire jump to life.ever since she had been a young girl fire had been the one thing that she could always lose herself in when she needed to think. Raven stiffend trying to suppress the sudders that ran through her body, her violet eye sparked in pain.
its been to long..far far to long

*Will sets necklace on barcounter. Begins working on a second, slightly larger one.*

'thanks' Meg said putting it around the little dogs neck.

OOC-brain seizure--edited earlier entry

eer. oops I made it for Promise!*

Raven closed her eye and grimmised as the pain washed over her. as it subsided she heard talking,turrning she saw Will Orchid and Meg at the bar.
i wonder why i didn't hear then earier
the sighed and stood, walked over to the bar and took a seat.

*Suddenly Raven was beside them*
Hi.....were you sleeping by the fire?

*Thinking she had offended Will, as he hadn't answered her question, she frowned.*

Maybe it's all a part of the 'Grand Plan'.....

*Takes a bottle and glass and sits in a booth, trying to make sense of everything that had, or more importantly, hadn't happened in the last few days.*

Meg sat next to Orchid with Luna next to her
she dropped a penny coin in front of Orchid.

ooc : i think i might win the "when will NS make jolt crash" contest. sweet.

ic : *wanders downstairs into the bar*

she eyed 'Matt' and gave a smile.

ooc : just fyi, we descided his name is "hunter". :p

ic : *he looked around at the club at the bottom of the stair and gave a half heart wave to meg. he scratched the back of his head and went to the bar*

OOC: ok dude

IC: she returned the smile but focussed on Orchid.

OOC: FYI, Noire, I left you a post on page 89, I think.

Meg sat next to Orchid with Luna next to her
she dropped a penny coin in front of Orchid.
*Looks at the coin.*

Whats that for?

ooc: I know; I'm sorry, Gael. I need to go to work, though; I don't have time to reply... But I'll do it when I come home! Which should be in... like five hours. :rolleyes:

I'm sorry. I WILL do it tonight though, I promise.

Raven woke up at the bar, as she looked up her hood sliped off reviling a crosshach of bright red scratches on her neck, quickly she pulled the hood back up,covering the scratches and casting a shadow on her face.

'a penny for your thoughts' she said with a smile.

*hunter caught a brief look at the damage on raven, grabbed a bottle of rum and took the seat next to her*

hi.

'a penny for your thoughts' she said with a smile.
Oh sorry...I was miles away.

I think my thoughts would be worth a lot more than a penny right now though.

*Sighs heavily and gives Meg a weak smile.*

'yeah thats all i have in my jeans though' she said with a smile, she wrapped an arm around her shoulder and hugged her tight.

'you can always talk to me' she added looking at 'Hunter'
he's looking good these days

*hunter caught a brief look at the damage on raven, grabbed a bottle of rum and took the seat next to her*

hi.
She turned and watched as Hunter sat down next to her
hello hunter, how have you been?

'yeah thats all i have in my jeans though' she said with a smile, she wrapped an arm around her shoulder and hugged her tight.

'you can always talk to me' she added looking at 'Hunter'
he's looking good these days
Yeah, I know I can.
It's just that untill I can work things out in my head, I can't put them into words, and there's a lot of things in my head to work out at the moment.
If you know what I mean.

Anyway....do you need anything?
*Glances towards Hunter....*
Well, anything I can help you with?

*shrugs*

i think i'm losing my mind, but other than that im alright. u look live youve had a rough time as of late. mind if i ask where you got the scratches?

*shrugs*

Raven smiled at him.
occupational hazared, no big deal really.
she glanced at the clock and stood up
I am sorry, i have to run. maby i will see you later
she waved to meg and orchid on her way out the door.

*gave another half-hearted wave and downed half the bottle of rum*

Raven smiled at him.

*Waves to Raven in return.*

Meg smiled.
'well...whenever you need to talk'

Meg smiled.
'well...whenever you need to talk'
Yeah...of course!

*Pours a glass and sips slowly.*

'has...Kreige been around lately?' Meg asked.

*While the cloaked figure waited in deathly patience, the fire in the barroom sputtered, and died.*

'has...Kreige been around lately?' Meg asked.
No...I haven't seen him in a while.

*The fire suddenly died, leaving the bar cheerless and eerily cold.*

Meg sprinkled some dust on the wood and sparked a little fire that grew.

'thats better'

*an involuntary smirk cross hunter's face. his posture changed slightly, almost unnoticably. he now sat a little straighter, and yet looked very relaxed. he took another swill of the rum*

Meg sprinkled some dust on the wood and sparked a little fire that grew.

'thats better'
*A throaty laugh coursed quietly through the room, and the fire was allowed to catch.*

Luna jumped down and sat in front of Hunter, put her little paws on his knee, a content look came across her face and then she went and sat by the fire.

OOC: Oops, pizza's here. I'll have to continue my little shenanigans later. ;) If you all need some entertainment, you can have small things like the fire or whatnot occur from time to time. I've no objection there.

ooc : question. luna a dog or a cat?

OOC: a little white dog ;)

*A throaty laugh coursed quietly through the room, and the fire was allowed to catch.*
*A sound as of laughter echoed around the room, and the hair on the back of Orchids neck bristled.*

What the........

ooc : ok then.

*hunter quirked a brow at the dog as it ran off. he shrugged and picke dup his drink, then followed it over to the fireside*

Meg followed Luna.
'she isn't being a pest is she?' she asked.

ETA: Hunter, u have a telegram ;)

*he smiled at her*

naw, just being a dog.

*he plopped down on one of the couches*

ooc : k

'can i join, its very cold even with that fire' she said sitting next to him with her warm blanket.

*Watches as the fire dims to almost nothing...then flares up once more.*

*meg fell asleep on his lap, so he took it as a good time to nod off himself*

ooc : got errends to run. night orchid.

*As the fire once more dies to no more than a glowing ember, the lights dim.*

Thats it, I'm not sticking around here on my own.......

*Runs out to her cabana, slams the door locking it behind her.

Lays on her bed holding her spider charm tightly in her closed hand.*

OOC
Am out now till monday...good weekend anyone who reads this.

*meg fell asleep on his lap, so he took it as a good time to nod off himself*

ooc : got errends to run. night orchid.
OOC
Hehe...night.....

*The barroom lay quietly amid the darkening beach. Hunter sat beside a furious blaze, Meg using him for a pillow. The dog Luna looked up and whimpered softly as a dark presence descended on the room. One by one, glasses fell from the shelf behind the bar at lengthened intervals, shattering. Only Raven's special colored glasses were spared..*

*hunter opened his eyes. or at least, hunter's body did. he slipped out from under meg and gave the dog, which was now bareing its teeth at him, a glance at his teeth, several of which where sharpened. the dog backed off and hid under its master's couch. hunter smirked and walked away from the fire, which immediatly went out*

*The last of the glasses fell to the floor with a sense of finality. In the kitchen, it sounded as if the same process were continuing with the plates.*

very soon now.

*with a triumphant smirk hunter plucked one of the red glasses off the shelf and played with it alittle; spinning it on his finger, tossing it then catching it. he set it down on the bar, found himself a knife and made a cut on his palm again, filling the glass*

*The glass drained slowly, and that throaty laugh filled the room once more.*

Sooner than you know.

really now. can't wait.

*he smirked and faded out of existance in the club, but appeared in the dark cavern where noire now resided, sitting up on the high on the tall stalagmite*

*wanders in looking dumbfounded*

Paradise is back in buisness?! HOORAH!

*celebrates*

*The shrouded figure before the statue turned her head slowly, seeming to watch him from the depths of the deep hood.*

*he quirked a brow, but the smirk didnt leave his face*

is everything prepared?

*he quirked a brow, but the smirk didnt leave his face*

is everything prepared?
Nearly..

*She glanced once more to Noire, who had been in and out of consciousness since her arrival. Given the atmosphere down here, it was no surprize, really.*

*stares around th room*

hmmm.... i see something is going on, well... Ill just have a seat...

good.

*his eyes flicked over to the girl, then on to the statue, where they stayed*

*Her expression hidden beneath the hood, she followed his gaze to the statue breifly.*

Admiring your handiwork..?

*stares confused, but decides to put off the subject and whatches the flames dance and flicker, then he becomes dazed and drowsy*

i did what had to be done. she was... confused. blinded.

*even as he said it he knew how pathetic it sounded. he sighed*

but those days are done. i am the hero no more.

ooc : just fyi NC they arn't really in the club right now.

Hero is a deceptive term..

yes, i supose it is.

*the smirk faded a bit from his lips and his attention was drawn away from the statue and back into memory*

ooc: sorry my mistake.... i guess id better read up on the last hour or so

ooc : no big. we've all done it on occation.

ooc: Holla BACK, suckas. :fluffle:

She woke slowly to the sound of an almost child-like voice whimpering, "I wanna go home. I wanna go home," repeatedly. Drifting up through the levels of her sub-concious from sleep, she realized the whimpering was herself, and promptly tightened her lips.

Dear GOD, I'm a pussy. A dark, cloaked figure turned toward her slightly, and she jumped, startled, smacking the back of her head on the wall. "Fuck!" On her knees, she curled her arms around the back of her head, hands protecting the now-throbbing spot.

Noire glared up at the cloaked thing. "Who the hell're you?"

OOC: Oh, what timing. I'm infinately sorry, but I'm on my way out! It's my first night off in ages, and I intend to live it up. Here's something to work with, and feel free to interact with "hunter." The Gael character follows more of a Morrigan essence now, so read up on that if you like.

*The figure regarded Noire once more.*

So you're awake..

*Raising a hand within the massive sleeves, she guided the crimson cloak to the other woman.*

No doubt you are wondering why you are here... I need an advocate. Sustinance.. And in return I have much to offer..

*Willing an iillusion, the little boy appeared to stand at her side, watching Noire. Should the woman happen to glance down, her fingers would appear to be fully healed...*

Consider my offer..

*Abruptly, the woman and the boy faded from view.*

OOC: Out!:fluffle:

ooc: Damnit! Timing is lovely. :p See you later, then. :fluffle:

ic: Her eyes flickered a pale blue, and she pushed at the cloak. It dropped to the floor. "I don't who the hell you are, or what the hell you want..." Her voice, originally hard and clipped, slowed down, dropping off to nothing as she noticed the little boy at the woman's side, blue eyes watching her sadly.

Her voice quavered a moment, and raising her hand to her lips, realized with a shock that her fingers were healed. Jerking her hand back from her face, she stared at them, then returned her gaze to the child. He smiled at her, round, innocent face caring more than it should. Noire reached out her healed fingers, as he wavered in the air with the woman, and disappeared.

Returning her hands to her cheek, she realized she had been crying.

*hunter let out a low whistle*

dont you just hate it when that happens?

*he smirked and slid down off the rock, falling the 15 or so feet to the floor*

She whipped around at the sudden voice, wristblades already out and ready. Her eyes glared, cold light faintly emanating from them.

Upon realizing he was the strange man who had been at the bar earlier, she relaxed a fraction of an inch. "Oh. It's you. What the hell d'ya want?"

And what the fuck wouldn't I give just to know someone around here, she thought relievedly.

i believe they're calling me "hunter" up there now.

*not nodded upwards and rolled his eyes. he smirked and looked back at her*

you look as though you've just seen a ghost.

Still edgy, she replied stiffly, "And what of it," before tacking his name to the end like an afterthought. "Hunter?"

I hate how quiet it is down here. It makes me feel jumpy.

oh nothing. just making conversation.

*he winked casually and turned to face the statue*

She sighed, and finally allowed herself to relax in the slightest.

"Sorry for being a bitch. I haven't really been able to have conversation in the past few days; it's kind of become a foreign thing."

i can see that. this isn't exactly the most accessable of places after all.

She chuckled, low in her throat. The laugh evolved into the tiniest of sighs, and Noire nodded. "It's not."

Making sure her voice wouldn't quaver before speaking, she added in a mumbling manner, "I miss the bar room."

not to worry. you'll see it again soon enough.

She gave him a reproachful look, as though she didn't quite believe him. "It'd be nice."

Turning the tables, she tacked on, "What're you doing down here?"

*he looked over his shoulder at her*

admiring the artwork.

*he looked back at the statue*

magnificent, isn't she?

"Mm." Noire allowed her eyes to rest quietly on the statue. "She's so sad." The minute the words were out, she regretted saying them. How am I supposed to know how a statue feels? She chuckled at herself inwardly.

*his smirk wavered a bit*

yes, yes she is.

ooc: Sorry this took so long, Jolt effed up for a second.

ic: Without having realized it, she stepped to stand next to him, before the statue. She allowed her fingertips to brush the surface of a drooping wing. "She doesn't want to be."

Noire smiled sadly up at the twisted features. "I suppose no one does, really."

sadness doesn't last forever. her day will come.

*the smirk turned into an actual smile and he took a step back from the statue and took it all into view*

She laughed aloud. "That's true."

Her gaze locked onto his face, all of a sudden, and a few awkward moments passed before she blurted, "Honestly, does your expression ever change?"

*he shrugged*

depends on the situation. this would be content. you should see me angry.

She laughed aloud at the comment, not caring if it was meant to be funny at this point, and simply glad for some talkative company.

Her eyes twinkled as she added, "At least now I'm warned, right?"

so it would seem.

*he looked at the statue a few more moments, then he shook his head*

oh where are my manors. you've been down here for quite awhile. you must be hungry. or thirsty. possibly both.

She looked shocked for a moment, then relaxed again. "I honestly haven't even thought about eating or drinking for a while. I made myself some coffee earlier, but it wasn't even close to the coffee Will makes back in the bar room..."

Her thoughts drifted off to the aroma that she usually smelled upon waking up, warm, comfortable, and feeling safe on the sofa of Paradise Club.

Shaking her head slightly to bring herself back to the present, she added, "I could probably go for a sandwich. I've got the drinks covered, if you're thirsty; what do you want?"

i've pretty well got drinks covered as well.

*he wandered back over to the rock where he'd started from and dug through a knap sack that may or may not have been there before. he pulled out a couple of sandwhiches and tossed the to her*

sadly, i can't stay to enjoy them with you. other matters to attend to, you understand.

*with a final smirk, he jumped straight up, going impossibly high and disapearing into the darkness above*

ooc : sorry to dash, but we've got a lightning storm brewing and the power's likely to go out. later.

ooc: All righty; I should go to bed as well. Good night.

ic: Noire caught the sandwiches, and with a half-hearted wave, watched him disappear. She looked back at her bleak surroundings a bit sadly, and proceeded to polish off all the sandwiches before sitting on the opposite side of the room as the cloak, and curling her knees up, back against the wall.

The bar flitted through her mind again, and she took comfort in painting images of Will and Orchid and LP and Raven and all the others doing the usual, daily routines, in her mind.

Though it added comfort, it mostly made her lonely, and she drifted off to sleep, shivering and dreaming of everything all at once.

*The figure covered her with the heavy crimson cloak once more, to keep her warm. Patiently, the presence awaited her awakening, and with it her answer.*

*Ju wandered into the bar. he seemed to be in a daze. Looking around, he takes note as to who's here and who's not here (both physically and otherwise.)

moving silently, and with an unusual grace, Ju moves between the patrons and tables.*

Meg walked in and saw Ju
'Ju! i havent seen you for years' Meg said, looking radiant as ever for such an early hour.
she ran and hugged him, nearly knocking him to the floor.

*Ju returned the Hug. He seems strangely... distant.*

yeah, been a while.

how are things with you?

'I am fine, are you alright?' she asked, still with her arms around him.

*Ju wandered into the bar. he seemed to be in a daze. Looking around, he takes note as to who's here and who's not here (both physically and otherwise.)

OOC: Ju, all your glasses and most of your plates are broken.

OOC: Ju, all your glasses and most of your plates are broken.
OOC: thanks for the heads up... ;)

'I am fine, are you alright?' she asked, still with her arms around him.
yep... why wouldn't I be?
*Smiles at Meg as he looks around.*
nothing around here has changed I see. Everything's...








normal.

'theres something wrong, you're too...out there, y'know?' she said, she sat him down and gave him a shot of whisky.

'rough night last night?' she said with a wink and a smile.

'theres something wrong, you're too...out there, y'know?' she said, she sat him down and gave him a shot of whisky.

'rough night last night?' she said with a wink and a smile.nope... not rough.

*Downs the drink and stands up.*

I am bored tho...

*takes her arm and swings her around towards the dance floor.*

'Nice to see you again craig, and hi creolas' zeradas says
"Nice to see you too" craig responds
'Bairn! where's the tseran!' zeradas yells to a sketchy gnome a couple of side caves beyond the one they are standing in front of
'Sorry zeradas, belias -our smith he quickly adds looking at craig- had some problems placing the cealdas -again looking at craig he added: a stone of power- i made a mistake while singing it.' bairn says
'no problem at all bairn, now go and report to the elders, ask them for the gifts of glory' creolas quickly says to save bairn the trouble of explaining to zeradas
'here you go, your own tseran' zeradas says while tossing the new tseran to craig
"thanks" craig wisphers confused
craig holds the tseran, which is incredibly light, as it is the ghost of a sword itself
'That's unusual', creolas says, 'the cealdas doesn't change color, that means it isn't adapting to you'
"no, it isn't adapting, it's connecting, something weird is happening, it's like it's becoming a ghost, like it's becoming a part of my spectral form"
'Now that's unusual, the cealdas is turning more pale than usual, you must be telling the thruth' zeradas says
bairn walks back into batra-cavian with a bag over his shoulder
'The elders decided you can have the gifts of glory, we haven't used them in years anyways' he says when he walks up to craig
'Okay, just leave them here bairn, i'll explain it to you later craig' creolas says and turns to a brown-eye, 'you heard what craig said about his tseran, go report it now'
craig feels a weird tingling coming from his arm slowly moving up and spreading through his spectral body and finaly reaching his head, once it did craig got a slight head-ache, as he had steal in it but he realises he already noticed which weapons everyone around him is carying and how to attack them, as if the tseran now became part of his spectral appearance and his soul itself
"This is amazing, zeradas we need to fight, now!" craig yells taking a
position that allows him to attack or defend without much of an efford
'Fight me? i was expecting you to try against one of our less experienced fighters first but as you wish' zeradas says calm, swinging his tseran around quickly
during the fight craig seems to know what zeradas is going to do before he does, like all fight the cealdas witnessed while being part of the cave walls became craigs experience, craig blocks all of zeradas his attacks and blows him away with a couple of swift strikes at his legs and arms disarming zeradas
creolas applauds and so do some others once the fight ends, craig notices that a lot of people had been watching the fight, which had taken longer than he realises
'Zeradas you just lost from a dead guy, how does that feel?', creolas laughs, 'now craig, as you can't hold that tseran all the time and you can't carry it with you in any clothing or backpack without losing it each time you pass through something i shall present you the gifts of glory, ancient items that we gnomes acquired during our existance'
creolas opens the bag bairn brought and empties it on the ground, a bag made out of a rippling material falls out together with some bottles and a belt for a tseran also made from the same material
'This bag holds a lot of items as it is impossible to fill it up completely, you are able to wear it and walk through anything with it, it should be like it is just a backpack and you're just a human, the same thing applies to the belt, the bottle has a strong antidote that can cure any poison and most deseases, this is what we give you if you help us get rid of the blags'
"As i will" craig says as creolas gnome handed him over the belt
craig puts on the belt and attaches the tseran to it, which immediatly stopped giving him the weird feeling
'the bag will never get heavy, and it will always have room for more stuff, it holds some old texts and books that could help you whenever you get in trouble, it also has magic ingredients and mixtures inside', creolas says when craig opened the bag to put the bottle inside, 'and that bottle has more antidote inside than it seems to have'
"Thanks, now could someone please tell me what blags are?"
'I will', judar, the priest zeradas was fighting with earlier says, 'there are 5 of them, creatures that cannot be seen, they come from the centre of the earth and are now destroying us slowly, none of us can find or defeat them but you can, they can't touch you, and you also have the ability to move through rocks'
'Now do you feel like going into the old tunnels alone or should i guide you' a female brown-eye deman says while walking through the collective of gnomes standing around craig
"As i don't know you i can't decide about that"
'I'm Erivas, the only brown-eye deman which is a resident here at Erialdas and the only one who ever wounded a blag' the deman says
"I guess you could come with me," craig replies quite stunned by the looks of the deman, she's thin, dressed in a tight armor-like white dress suited to go into battle or go to a ball at the same time, and this is the first time since he came down here craig actually sees someone with a diffirent hairstyle, it's the same hair as the gnomes but modelled, with a pink flower in it, if she were a human he'd definatly try to get to know her better ,"and i'm sure we should leave right now"
'As you wish,' she says luring craig with her as she walks away to a side entrance of batra-cavian
outside of batre-cavian they enter a small cave that looks like the place were the demans live, craig followed erivas to one of the small caves on the side of the cave which seems to be her room
'I have to pick up some stuff first' erivas says whiel she starts packing a backpack
"So do i," craig says before looking up and whispering some words, from the ceiling the sound of a howl comes down and seconds after mud appears, craigs halfdog-halfsmoke companion, "erivas this is mud, mud this is erivas"
'interesting dog,' erivas mumbles when she ties a belt around her waist with a tseran attached to it, 'does it bite?'
"Only when i allow him too, and i doubt he'd do it than, he prefers his food dead for atleast a few days, are you ready?"
'Yes i am' she says swinging her head making her hair swirl around her waist and slipping back into model
erivas walks up to a heavy wooden door and opens it reveiling a black tunnel
'Folow me, we'll head to the place were we put traps for them'
she closed the door when craig walked through and lit a blue lantern, she started walking without taking any note of walking through craigs spectral body, as they walk through the darkness craig notices movement a short distance in front of them

ooc: i got to speed this history up a little, i want to get back into the group RP'ing and out fo the character build-up

OOC: nice. I tend to have that mapped out and just slowly reveal it as the thread moves along. let em discover what nasty/nice things occured in one's past. :p

IC: after dancing with Meg, Ju cocked his head, as if listening to something... then abruptly, he turns away from Meg and wanders out the door.

OOC: nice. I tend to have that mapped out and just slowly reveal it as the thread moves along. let em discover what nasty/nice things occured in one's past. :p
OOC: the problem is i started my character without a past relevant to paradise club, no history at all so i have to make it now, instead of having just a simple ghost that hasn't got any powers or abilities (except for drinking from the same glass for weeks). I'm nearing the end of the history, almost coming back up ;)

IC: craig telepathicly give Mud a signal to check out the movement ahead as he pulls at erivas her sleeve forcing her to stop
"wait, something is up ahead" craig whispers
'I don't see or hear anything...' erivas whispers back looking frightened
"neither do i, i noticed movement using mud's sharpened senses"
they both stand still for a moment, waiting for mud
"mud just found something, it's safe, or atleast for him it's safe, let's go but stay alert"
craig walks up front this time, following the route mud used
a howl sounded from up ahead and craig slowly grabbed the handle of his tseran
"watch it, somethings not right, and mud just jumped inside the rocks, he's full of fear"
'okay' erivas answers even more frightened than before
"wait here, and keep your eyes open" craig says before running through the rocks up ahead

Meg stood outside smoking her cigarette and she saw Ju.

'hey baby, you alright?' she asked.

Meg stood outside smoking her cigarette and she saw Ju.

'hey baby, you alright?' she asked.[distantly] yeah... never better...
*a grin alights Ju's face... a chilling, sobering grin.*

she went up to him and hugged him tight.

then planted a light, soft kiss on his lips.

OOC: you did read all of my previous posts, right?

Sure why not... let's heat things up.

OOC: im confused, why would i need to read back? whats up with Ju?

IC:

OOC: im confused, why would i need to read back? whats up with Ju? OOC: Does Ju seem different today?

*he looks at her, red eyes sparkling over the wine glass.*
Can you forgive me?

'forgive you for what?' she asked, his eyes red she only just realized.

'you....theres something wrong....you're wrong' she said, her heart skipping a beat and her blood ran cold.

....isn't it...?:eek:

Meg felt a pang of terror run through her blood like ribbons in the wind, she got up and ran to the kitchen.

*Jen walked in looked around the room and took her seat without acknowledging Ju*
*Ju's eyes flicker towards Jen... then moves back to Meg... ignoring the young woman.*

Meg felt a pang of terror run through her blood like ribbons in the wind, she got up and ran to the kitchen.OOC: got it and replied... tho it seems you made your choice. :cool:

IC: *watches the door close behind Meg... Ju then looks at the glass in his hand and he casually tosses the whole thing into the fireplace.*

Now for that presence...

*Looking around, his eyes fall upon Jen once more. a sly grin once again graces his lips.*

Ahh... young lady... still doing your wonderful drawings?

Meg remembered that Jen had walked in, she creaked the door open slightly and saw him move over to her.
damn, i'm not special i guess, hes already moved on
she watched, trying to communicate with Letisha.

*Looking around, his eyes fall upon Jen once more. a sly grin once again graces his lips.*

Ahh... young lady... still doing your wonderful drawings?

Who, dear sir, are you?

Who, dear sir, are you?
who, Me? why I'm Junii... the bartender and host of this establishment. Do you want anything to eat or drink besides bread and water?

Meg walked bravely in and grabbed Ju's hand.
'we need to talk' she said, with a sly grin, she knew what she was doing, whether she would come out alive or not was another matter.

who, Me? why I'm Junii... the bartender and host of this establishment. Do you want anything to eat or drink besides bread and water?

I've met Ju, and I can definitively tell you that you are not him. Who are you?

*She smiled calmly and took a small perfume bottle out of her purse*

...who indeed?

Meg walked bravely in and grabbed Ju's hand.
'we need to talk' she said, with a sly grin.err oh okay...

I've met Ju, and I can definitively tell you that you are not him. Who are you?

*She smiled calmly and took a small perfume bottle out of her purse*Perhaps some other time... :D

...who indeed?
and one that I would like to know...

Heh heh.. all in due time..

Perhaps some other time... :D

Time waits for no man, but this will wait until you finish with her.

Meg dragged Ju into the closet and

;) :fluffle: ;) :fluffle: ;) :fluffle: 'd with him

towards she end she slammed her hand into his stomach.

she wrenched and writhed, trying to get the demon out, thank goodness she was half naked as this was starting to make her sweat.

*a rock hard hand slams into your collarbone. in the darkness you'ld swear it was... glass? as you try to 'grab' the daemon, you also feel not one, but two other presences inside him. Each time you think you got it, it manages to break from your grip. The struggle continues... OUTSIDE: there is, what sounds like a struggle in the closet when suddenly, the closet door is burst apart as Meg is thrown out and she lands atop the bar. through the shattered door, Ju emerges... totally naked, revealing his left arm, up to his shoulder and down to his midrift is no longer flesh and bone, but looks like flesh colored glass... Eyes blazing red, he moves towards Meg.*

You filthy Whore... I'll feast on your heart for that! :mad:

Meg screamed and got her gun from under the bar and shaking she dropped it and cursed.
'fuck you....just fuck you!!!!' she said, picking up the gun again and taking a shot on his stomach,

*The fire crackled chaotically in reflection of the current struggle.*

'fuck you....just fuck you!!!!' she said, picking up the gun again and taking a shot on his stomach,*moving his left arm infront of him, a large sheild appears and the shot richocettes harmlessly into the bottles.*

oh, but I thought that's what you wanted to do in the closet back there... but if you still want to...

*making a throwing motion with his right hand, a large glob of bread dough flies towards Meg... glopping up the gun and sticking to her hands. (it is sticky, heavy but not so that you can't get out of it.)*

'yeah i could do with a good fucking, but i want to get the old Ju back' she said,

'...even if it kills me' she added with a sigh, feeling warm blood run down her cheek.

*As soon as the first movement sounded Jen quickly moved from her seat toward the spectacle, she left all her stuff except the perfume bottle. Carelessly she stepped between Ju and the girl without noting his lack of clothing or Meg's doughiness*

Hello again sir, I think it is more important that we talk now.

'yeah i could do with a good fucking, but i want to get the old Ju back' she said,

'...even if it kills me' she added with a sigh, feeling warm blood run down her cheek.well, get used to this 'NEW' Junii...

*Eyes flashing red, He starts to move forwards then...... Carelessly she stepped between Ju and the girl without noting his lack of clothing or Meg's doughiness*

Hello again sir, I think it is more important that we talk now.
well, unfortunatly, I have a rather pressing engagement right now... how-about in an hour or so...

*Any blood which found its way to the floor was quickly and silently absorbed.. unnoticed in the fray..*

Oh, trust me it won't take long.

*She holds out her hand under his nose*

I was wondering if I could get your opinion on how this perfume smells.

*She waits to see what affect the chloroform has*

Meg flopped to the ground and stayed there motionless for a while, then started to flinch slightly.

Oh, trust me it won't take long.

*She holds out her hand under his nose*

I was wondering if I could get your opinion on how this perfume smells.

*She waits to see what affect the chloroform has*smells divine...
*shakes his head and blinks rapidly*
stupid stupid, STUPID WENCH!
*with a lurch, he slams the gem sheild into Jen, then dropping it, he staggers out the Club door and runs down the path towards his Cabana.*

*As the thing shoved into her arm she winced, if he hadn't been weakened it would have easily broken her arm. As it was all she had to worry about was falling from the force of the blow*

The fall didn't hurt her significantly either so she stood up and turned toward the dough covered girl on the floor*

Hmm... I think this situation calls for syrup.
