[ACRO] GLoG 27: Pay No Attention to the Thread Behind the Curtain!

Pfft. Dani looks a little startled, but lets her foot linger. Maybe even a little higher than before? What's wrong with a little fun between consenting adults, Johnny? Hm?

She looks over at Angela curiously, moving back. What?


What is it, Scarlet? Quinn asks concernedly.

"Well... my mother possesses this artifact- a monstrance, I think it is called."
Crimson curls up a little more in Corentin's arms, biting her lip.
"It's like an extension of my body. If we... start trying to change me, she could use it against us."

Nothing. he says with the smile that comes with a sudden revelation.
Nothing at all.
He smiles slyly.

Corentin nodded. "So we need to get it form her. Where is it?"

Didn't you hear that? Ignoring Johnny, she moves to take Dani gently by the arm. Out of our league. When something somehow manages to know more than it should and can block off your attempts effortlessly, you back off.

"...in the Underworld."
Crimson says, looking up at Corentin uncertainly.

Corentin nodded again. I see. How can we get there?

((I'll be leaving for Kansas City soon. Like sometime in the next 30 minutes. If I deadtime, you can godmod me as appropriate if you want to keep going.))

We'll help, Quinn says in a tone that indicates it's a promise. Any way we can, we'll help, Scarlet.




Dani looks back and forth between Johnny and Angela, confused.

Johnny is also confused.
Did I say something wrong?
The amulet around his neck is glowing faintly.

"Well..."
Crimson thinks about it, uncertain if she even wants them to risk it with her.

Angela leans in to Dani and whispers. He's too well protected, see? But, if you ignore him as if he didn't exist, he'll want you even more. Power.

"Scarlet, please. We want to help you." He hugged her close.

((Aaaaand... deadtime. See you in a few hours, hopefully.))

Johnny looks around.
What's going on?
He stands up.

Dani nods, and grins at Johnny.
What? No! Not at all. You didn't say anything that wasn't completely right, in fact...

But, stepping away from Angela, she goes to trail her fingers across the back of his neck...before circling the table back to the elder (in senority, not age...) priestess and nodding for her to lead on.



Quinn reaches over and puts her hand on Crimson's shoulder.
I mean it.

Angela smiles and walks to a couch in the Great room.

Crimson shakes her head.
"Irene barely managed to get out of the Underworld. I don't want to risk anyone else."

Now it's my turn. he whispers to himself with a sly grin.
He follows, with more of an air of confidence now than before.

Dani follows Angela, dropping onto the couch with a smile. So, what do we do now, sister cleric? She winks.


We know the risks, and we're willing to take them, Quinn says insistantly, yet gently. Because we care about you, Scarlet.

Hm... I could give you... a target to practice on, since Johnny was too secure... Angela winks back, then lies down on the couch, her head in Dani's lap.

And Johnny walks over.
Kneeling behind the coach.
Hello ladies. he says with a polite smile.

Wenomir passes Angela and Dani by, raising an eyebrow at Dani's new outfit.

Dani decides to put some of Angela's advice about teasing to work, and pretends not to hear Johnny...

She reaches down and brushes Angela's hair with a smile. And a giggle. Oh, really? Who?
Wenomir gets a cheerful wave before she resumes the hair-stroking.

Crimson just gives a little pout at Quinn and doesn't respond.

Angela also waves to Wenomir, despite not knowing him too well. My brother. In HALO. It will be... very hard for you to pull off.

Wenomir nods back and walks away, shaking his head. Somethings wrong here...

Johnny thinks for a moment.

Well, first his player has to think about what to do, and his player has no frig-on-a-stickin' clue.

Hey Dani, you have really nice eyes. When the light hits 'em just right, they twinkle like little stars.

Urgh, the cheesy compliments are going to have killed me by the end of today.

Marcos walks into the Great Room, obviously tired. ...Hey...um....Angela. The only name he remembers, as the case is. He slumps down on the sofa.

Dani blushes at Angela's suggestion. Well...I guess I could, give it a try?
She rolls her eyes mentally at Johnny, then grins at Marcos. Hi Doc!



Quinn moves over and goes to wrap her arms around Crimson to hug her tightly.

Angela lifts her feet for Marcos to sit down, and then rests them in his lap after he does so. Hey Marcos.
There's a portal here that will take you to his base...
...If you think you can handle a sixteen year old boy. She looks up at Dani and smirks.

Dani, please don't ignore me, I'm not good with girls, I get all confused and I don't know what to do. Just, don't ignore me. he says quite bluntly.
