    Default Turton - Made to be made (Raphael's IC)

    Behind a motel room door, the sign on the handle reading "Do not disturb", and the smell of cheap air-fresheners permeating the dusty atmosphere, a mobile phone was ringing. When at last they'd met, it had been Elijah's idea to purchase four of those, one for each of them, and following a crash course in their usage by the man himself, it had come to be that the Orphan Angels could now contact each other from "pretty much everywhere, basically all the time". But it had stayed at that, and there were precious little numbers on their phones than those of the respective others.

    The motel room itself was the only one that did not have windows, as far as Raphael knew, and the fact that it had just so happened to yet be free was likely no coincidence - In the interest of seeing his partner-in-crime's advent happen without too much in the way of trouble, the erstwhile brains of their outfit had promised to "take care of things", and most likely worked some of his very special brand of magic to secure these lodgings here. One thing that had to be said about the place, however, was that it was quite poorly maintained, and despite it offering all of the features necessary for vampiric rest, the abundance of used condoms under the bed and mysterious stains on the carpet would seem to indicate that yes, in fact, it did not only draw Kindred customers. On the other hand, it was at least designated as "non-smoking", so there was that.

    Sitting up in the slightly crusty bed with a frown at being woken up by yet another noisy advancement in technology, Raphael picked up and pondered the device for a moment before finaly opening it and answering with a non committal grunt.

    Btw, i just realized we never worked out just what kind of possesions Raphael caries with him. I was thinking (for your approval):
    -Wallet with a couple hundred dollars and debit card (he was convinced it was a good idea, somehow)
    -2 "survival" knives (one on him, one in the car)
    -1 light pistol and holster (in the car's glove box atm)
    -1 fire axe (wrapped up in a small blanket and in the car's trunk)
    -1 Tommy Gun (heavy SMG) because it's a classic (In the stereotypical violin case in the back seat of the car)
    -1 lighter (on him)
    -A 1937 cadillac v16 imperial cabriolet (Upgraded engine, have to be practical after all) Black of course.
    -Suit case with three spare suits, ducktape, flashlight, Lighter fluid, couple bottles of highgrade alcohol (the drinking kind, always handy for "negotiations") (suitcase is in the room with him)

    "Hello?" The voice sounded strangely familiar, even though the number had been showing as 'unknown'. "Is this Raphael? Like, Orphan Angel Raphael?" A hint of an accent was there, and somewhere out on the hallway, some voices kept arguing. Muffled voices, nothing to be clearly understood. Yet apparently on the way to his, Raphael's, door.

    "Yes and before we continue answer me this," Raphael said quick and quit, moving to the side of the door (so if the door opened the door would be between him and the opener), shutting off the lights on the way. "Do you know the people walking towards my hotel room?" He asked while drawing his knife.

    {if the answer is no}

    "Call me back in five minutes." hangs up.

    "What? What people? No, I just wanted to- Oh. Well. Yeah, alright then, Raffy-man, five minutes, dat's a-" And cut off. The steps came closer, the argument having apparently found resolution, and ultimately, someone knocked. "Hello? Anyone in there?" a female voice endeavored, the town distraught, but not unfriendly.

    (No peephole, sadly, and the voice does not ring a bell as such. Could be he heard it before, but if so, most likely not in any memorable context.)

    "Room service. I was asked to deliver a package here, the guy said you would know about that, Mr... uh..." She paused, apparently having no idea just who exactly she was supposed to be talking to, and not giving the impression of someone highly motivated to be doing this. There was whispering, and a cough, and then: "So, anyway, you gonna let me in, or not? 'cause I could just simply leave it here, if you'd rather not open yet."

    Pockets knife but keeps his hand on it and turns light back on. Opens the door saying "Sorry for the bit of paranoia miss. You just startled me a bit what with me travelling psudo incognito."

    In front of the door, there were two people: Room-service, apparently a relatively short, almost worryingly thin person with dyed-red hair (and not even a natural shade of red), and a veritable mountain of manflesh right next to her, and about her age, currently trying to wipe his glasses clean on a stained, not-as-white-as-it-used-to-be shirt that struggled to contain the mass of lard within it. While the girl was carrying the aforementioned package - or rather packages, as there were a relatively large wooden crate and a plain, paper-wrapped, smaller box tied on top of it on her arms - the big guy seemed to not really have a purpose.

    A strange, almost sickening scent permeated the hallroom air, making Raphael think of dead bodies, or rotten meat. But neither of the two seemed to have noticed, and in fact, he got the following reply: "Oh, that's alright, Mr... I still didn't catch your name." - "He just said he was here incognito. He's like some government guy or something. Leave it at that." This helpful insight courtesy of Mr Man-Mountain, whose facial expression made it abundantly clear that he'd rather be somewhere far away, even once he had his glasses back on. "Just give him his and let's go home, alright?" - "Shut it, Malcolm. Anyway, these pretty much just arrived for you, Mr Government, and they said it was vital you get them soon." And then, a short, expectant silence, as they looked at him.

    "Ah, very good." Takes the packages that Jenny is holding. {assuming nothing interupts} Sets them down inside the room and turns back to them pulling out wallet. "Though I have the urge to chastise you for not carrying the packages for the lady, acting as her escort for the night certainly makes up for it," he says to Malcom slightly playfully, pulling out couple of twenties, giving one to each as a tip.

    Hmm, I would say suit pants, belt, shoes, and dress shirt, the coat is hung on the back of a chair. Now the worrying question is "why?" (you dont have to answer of course)

    Because even vampires do occasionally sleep in their undies, and the mental image jumped me there. Would mainly have had some bearing on their initial reactions, really.

    In fact, nothing interrupted. "Well, dang. Thanks, Mr Government!" was Malcolm's reply as he pocketed his share of the money with a sheepish grin and something resembling an awkward bow, and hers went similarly, with an added "And don't you worry, your secret is safe with us!" before they made to leave. ("Really though, Malc, I told you you should have carried them!" - "And I told you my shoulder hurts, and besides, I'm not exactly your escort either." - "Jerk.) Anyway, thanks again, Mr, and a nice evening to you, and if you need anything, you have the number. Walter's shift tonight, though, so don't expect too much in the way of assistance there, yes?" And with that, and a wink, they were already off, Malcolm bitching about running late the whole damn way down the corridor. Hasty times, these were.

    As for the packages, they looked rather immensely unassuming, though the scent of rotten meat did clearly emanate from them. There was little else on the corridor, unless one were to count a random dead roach and several stains on the run-on carpet as noteworthy sights.

    Raphael, deciding to play safe for the moment, waits until the five minutes are up and he gets called back before doing anything with the package. Better safe then dead... again...

    After about five minutes, he is, in fact, called back: "So, Raffyman, you all there now? What was that all about just there?" The same, strange, familiar voice, and the same unknown number as before, but now irritated instead of curious or confused. While he couldn't be sure, Raphael could have sworn that something inside the wooden box had just moved, or maybe it had just been a hallucination? The scent, at any rate, was now almost overpowering, owing to this still being a windowless room with the door closed, and there not being anything like ventilation installed.

    Keeping his voice calm but a bit firm. "Ok, lets get some perspective here before you start getting short with me. The minute I wake up, I get a call from a number I don't know, by a person I who's voice I don't recognize. Then I get a package delivered to me anonymously when I myself am remaining anonymous, thus causing me to almost murder two inoccent kids our of self preservating paranoia. To top it off, the person on the phone knows nothing about the crate, said crate smells like death and hot sick in a room without ventilation and I would swear to a priest that I just saw it move. So, how about you forgive me for interupting your call earlier and I'll forgive you for not observing proper phone etiquette by introducing yourself first.?"

    "Well. Sure then, Raffyman. Name's Walter. Friend a' Mike's. Coulda sworn the two of us had talked before already...?" The stranger seemed genuinely confused, and that was even before Raphael's mention of the crate had fully sunken in: "But, say, what kinda crate? Y'say it... moved? Got a letter, card, some lines or somethin' 'bout who sent it, anything?" Someone in the background shouted at this 'Walter' on his side of the line, but the words couldn't be made out entirely. Something about a 'whole deal just getting good'. In any case, it prompted the man himself to briefly put away the phone and shout at whoever had done so to keep his mouth shut. "Sorry 'bout that. Colleague a' mine. Stupid kid. Always so loud. So, anyway, can ya tell me more?"

    Even a closer look would not reveal any information about the crate, nor about the box on top of it, other than the latter having the words "Season's greetings" scrawled on the side in garishly pink marker.

    "Well, any friend of Michael's is someone I hide my wallet from... I grow tired of this sillyness, I'm going to set you down and open the boxes, if you hear any sounds of strugle call Michael and tell him what has happened. And where I am for that matter." He relays the adress and room number.

    Raphael sets the phone, open, on the night stand, avoiding the sticky bits. Pulling out his knife once more he proceeds to, causiously, cut open the smaller box.

    Walter's voice seemed to adopt a strange, uneasy quality completely unbefitting his rather quite casual vocabulary, but he seemed to comprehend: "Yeah, sure, alright, can do that, Raffyman. Jus' lemme write that down, an' stage is yours, okay?" And having supposedly done that, he said no more, listening from the nightstand with an almost tangible suspense.

    Out on the hallway, someone started laughing, deeply, drunkenly, while heavy steps rapidly moved past his room's door and down towards the lobby. But there was no further incident, noone knocked, the door remained closed and the packaging on the smaller box came off easily enough.

    It turned out to be an unassuming cardboard box, containing several books of matches, a lemon, two bundles of money - Italian Lira, by the looks of it, and hence long-defunct currency - and a letter, yet it merely read:

    "Welcome to Turton, Raphael. Given the angels are all in attendance now, we thought we would organise something to set the mood. Enjoy!

    - Your friends from far beyond
    "

    Leaving the crate, and the bated breath waiting there at the telephone.

    Raphael sets aside the curious items, relaying what they are to the phone on the night stand. If he's going to die, he want's his friends to know how. You know, give them as much of a chance at revenge as possible.

    Any sigificance my char can gleen from the contents of box #1 that I my self am missing? Sybolism? Refferances?


    That task of documentation done, he ready's himself as best he can for the next and possibly dangerous unknown of the larger box. He rolls up his sleeves, adjusts his grip on the knife hilt and startes opening it.

    "... the fook? A lemon, some useless bucks and a letter? Any idea what that's about?" Walter seemed even more confused now, but there was also an element of expectation to his tone, and his 'colleague' was now laughing rather loudly about something, loudly enough to be heard all the way from the nightstand, but Walter shut him up soon enough, going back to his waiting for a reply.

    Sadly, no. He remembers Elijah telling him about how lemon juice can act as invisible ink in that, once dried, it only reappears when warmed, and even that is only because there are matches, the paper, and the lemon on hand. But then again, the little bit of text already occupies all of the sheet.

    Slowly, the various lengths of adhesive tape, string, and rope securing the wooden crate came loose, and as Raphael slowly removed the lid, the source of the smell became all too readily apparent: A head. A horse's head, or, judging from the size, rather a pony's or a foal's, complete with a bit of neck, decomposed to the point of maggots crawling about, yet bedded on perfectly fresh, golden straw, and otherwise in an immaculate state.

    Raphael lets out a deep sigh, a mix of frustration and anger venting out with that one breath.

    "Walter, call Michael. Tell him to meet me at that address I gave or call me if he can't. Also, inform him that there seems to be a few people that know of our past, know that we are here... and think they have a sense of humor."

    {during the wait time after the conversation is done}

    Deciding that there might be more to this package then a sick joke, Raphael starts out by lighting a match and heating the note thinking that there might be a mesage hidden in it even given it's cramped nature. If that doesn't produce resaults, then it's on to heating the rest of the package (the outside and inside of both boxes). After that would probably lead to burning the horse head, but he would rather talk it over with Michael first. And not be in a small room at the time.

    "Sure thing, Raffyman. Will do!" Walter's eager response was followed by an expectable click, and a somewhat less expected dull thud, as if from something on the other side falling down, and the line went silent.

    As Raphael took to the note, it became apparent that yes, there was something more to it: Between the lines, the words "Aces high. Funny how some things just won't stay down, huh?" came to light, and despite there not being much obvious sense to that, it did prove to have a strangely prophetic ring.

    For when the Orphan Angel put the note down, he found himself looking into lifeless eyes, the horse's head standing fully erect with its neck acting as a pseudopod, and as the match went out, the piece of corpse arched back, teeth gleaming in the twilight of the room, and leaped.

    I started them AT the entrance to their first dungeon, skipping the whole tavern scene and getting right to the adventuring. They loved it.

    Stay calm. The glorious horse-head is not much more of a star pupil, after all.

    (2d10)[6][4](10)

    But that's just for the next round. Currently, it's in the process of attacking you.

    I will roll attack, you are then free to roll Dex + Dodge, or to try and parry its flying bite attack.

    (2d10)[2][3](5)

    Also, glad to have you back.

    EDIT: You even get to counterattack. This is a one-time-opportunity, seeing how tomorrow I might be well-together enough to look up how this actually works.

    how about a counter GRAPLE attack!


    With a yell of an Italian explative, Raphael tries to grab the equine fiend by whats left of it's throat as it lunges at him, intending to slam it into the water stained ceiling.

    Looking through my handy rules book, it would be a "Clinch" maneuver: Str + Brawl/ Normal difficulty (6) / damage = str roll.

    Maneuver roll: (4 str + 2 Brawl) (6d10)[10][1][3][2][4][3](23)

    Damage (if successful): (4 str + 4 auto from Potence) (4d10)[1][3][3][9](16)



    With his off hand he fumbles for his pocketed knife, thinking of nailing the beastie to the ceiling as a complement to the chiped light fixture. (on next turn ofcourse)

    With a move that would for all the world have looked like it would miss at first, Raphael got a hold of the flying horse-head's throat, and swung upwards with a force that belied his human appearance: The impact of the dead meat on the ceiling caused deep lines and fractures to appear and ripple over all its surface, radiating from the impact of the blow. A cloud of dust and ground ceiling-stone came down, yellowing the very air, and so did the piece of corpse, too, explode into bits and pieces of bone and meat, but not without drenching his victorious form - and previously impeccable clothes - in what looked like a needlessly large reserve of foul, rotten, reeking blood that exploded from out of the beaten neck and cracked skull, leaving specks and splatters all over the place.

    "You got it, fratello! Show 'em what!" someone out on the hallway exclaimed in a short reply to his yelled insult - and with a strong and marrow-cooling accent that was definitely not Italian. But then the silence returned, and the place now stank even more. Some strange sound came from the phone. Like someone panting heavily, just once.

    *Siiiiiiiiggghhhhh* "Sometimes I forget how strong I am." the italian man lamented, looking down at his soiled form. Tossing whats left of the head into a corner and contemplating burning the cloths, while still in them, he flips open the phone again, checking for the name and answering in Italian regarless of who it is.
