[Guest Room - Harnel]

"What proof do I have that you aren't just lying to me in some sort of elaborate trap to lure another demon nearby so that you can feast on my flesh in some strange blood ritual to give yourself the power of two demons, and then continue you unholy rampage as you lure more demons to you until he have the strength to challenge anything that may rise against you?" that seems remarkably specific, Harnel, "It's happened to me before. I'm not falling for it again."

[Gullara]

[Entrance]

"Great!" Alice flips her notebook open and moves to stand closer to Cessie. Close, but a comfortable distance to talk. "Alright, so how were you selected to be the council person representing Watchtower? The others are the leaders of their organizations if I recall."

[Slii Arhem]

Kashi shall not be deterred! He thinks hard, then decides that it's worth the body mass to show his new friends what awesome things he can do. He'll make up for it later by eating a whole bunch!

"Snyui!! <No, here! Watch this!>"

Kashi seems to hold his breath for a second, then all of a sudden a great fat diamond shoots out from one of his ears, skittering sideways across the floor.

Snyu~! <Neat, right?>"

[Morty]

[Foyer]

Neddless to say, Dorota's jaw drops. Oh... oh my. You can just create those as long as you digest food?

[Shadowcaller]

[Guest Room - Harnel]

"I'm not asking you to come to me, I'm asking you to have someone send a message, perhaps even just a letter, to some allies of mine." 'Sam' explains calmly. "You're the only person infected by my blood which isn't a slave to the gnolls. I don't want you to save me, I just want you tell others to save me, do you understand?"

[Entrance]

"I was choose since I was deemed the person best suited for the job actually. DC and KR aren't much for the kind of diplomacy a seat in the council requires." Cessie explains.
"And technically Watchtower don't have any real leader besides those two and Wenomir who don't have any interested at all in leading."

[Halae]

[Guest Room - Harnel]

Harnel will sit up and go over to a window, before opening the shutters to place his hand on the magic forcefield. "Alright, fine. If it hurts the gnolls, I'll help. Where are your allies?"

[Reinholdt]

[Foyer]

Nadas blinks.
Pulls out his notebook.
Scribbles furiously.

"Snyyyuuuu. <Yep! I can make anything, so long as it's pretty, and shiny, and nice and hard to lay on. I get really hungry afterwards though. Oh! And if I eat too much, I make coins all over everywhere. Kirin hates when I do that.>"

Kashi seems pretty bored of explaining things already, and tilts his head to the side.

Snyui~? <Hey, do you wanna play tag?>"

[Shadowcaller]

[Guest Room - Harnel]

"They are in a city called Sojurn, or the ruins of it at least. But they attack mortals on sight, might be better to send a demon if you know any." 'Sam' tells Harnel. "It's south west of what you call Inside, but I'm sure you can get better directions by asking around or looking through a few books. It's pretty famous among mortals from what I understand."

[Gullara]

[Entrance]

"Ah, okay." Alice jots down notes furiously. She considers for a moment. "And how long have you been a member of Watchtower?" It won't matter what her answer is, however, as she'll never get a chance to say it. As soon as she opens her mouth, Alice strikes. She surges forward, tries to grab both her arms, then proceed to try and jam her tongue down the mage's throat. She's actually surprisingly strong and should be able to hold Cessie in place for the few seconds she intends to drag this out for. She isn't taking any chances when Libra said passionate.

[Halae]

[Guest Room - Harnel]

"Alright, give me a moment here,"

Cessie? He thinks at his wife, A demon just contacted me telepathically, she's offering to teach me how to control the corruption in exchange for helping her.

This, of course, is not the most opportune time.

[Shadowcaller]

[Entrance]

Cessie was just about to say something as she's grabbed by 'Alice' and forcible kissed by being pulled right into the other woman.

So yes, Kirk, or Alice get her passionate kiss even if the mage is more shocked then cooperative.

Now the problem is that once the shock have passed, Cessie will attempt to force cage Alice in sheer panic. But if the bunnygirl is fast enough she might be able to escape the spell as Cessie pulls away from her.

It might be noted that the sorceress looks furious by now.

[Guest Room - Harnel]

Harnel will get no reply from Cessie more then a sense of panic and anger.

"I'm grateful you take this burden, I have been imprisoned for months now."

[Halae]

[Guest Room - Harnel]

Harnel doesn't respond to Sam just yet.

Cessie? Cessie, are you alright?

[UncleWolf]

Entrance

There's a gasp and the sound of shattering glass as Ariel drops the box to cover her mouth in shock. Anyone who can sense it will feel quite a bit of magic escaping from the destroyed gift. "I...I...I should g-go." She stammers.

[Gullara]

[Entrance]

Alice, because that's totally her name clearly >.> <.<, skips back and away from Cessie as soon as it seems she's going to react. Seems like it was a good idea. The bunnygirl gives only a shrug in explanation before turning and running for the door. She'll push right by Ariel if need be.

[Lost_Deep]

Entrance

Kirin walks down the stairs, just in time to see the bunny girl run.

She's wearing the outfit she appeared in, with the backpack on her back.

She stops at the bottom. What just happened here?

[Shadowcaller]

[Entrance]

Yeah, Cessie isn't going to let the reporter get away with that. At least not if she could decide. If the force cage fails she summons a air elemental to go and block the door while the already summoned earth elemental comes wandering after 'Alice'.

She don't really pay attention to Ariel at the moment, her pride is at stake here.

[Guest Room - Harnel]

Not now. Is all the reply Harnel get's.

[Halae]

[Guest Room - Harnel]

Well, that was wonderfully helpful. Cessie should feel a bit of bitterness, helplessness, and frustration through their bond, but ultimately he says nothing.

Instead, he says to Sam, "Yeah, No problem."

[UncleWolf]

Entrance

Ariel, while stunned, realizes that "Alice" is making a run for the door, and when she gets close enough, tries to grab her by the neck with her tail. It's rather powerful for it's size and should hopefully yank her off her feet.

[Gullara]

[Entrance]

Alice isn't grabbed so easily. She ducks a bit as the tail comes at her and puts up her arm to ward it away. But alas, the tail wraps around her arm instead. She tries to yank her arm away and change direction to the nearest window.

If she can't get away, she will try and aim a quick punch at Ariel's throat/chin. She need not defend, however. As the fist nears her, it slows to a stop. She curses loudly, having no idea why she couldn't complete the punch.

[Shadowcaller]

[Entrance]

If 'Alice' chooses to uses violence against Ariel, who may not be Cessie's daughter, but still, in a way, is a friend to her, the sorceress won't stand for it.

As the bunnygirl is temporarily distracted by Ariel, the air elemental joins the fray. It attempts to force itself like a blindfold of clouds over Alice's head to blind her while the earth elemental, once it reaches them with reach out and grab the bunnygirl.

Cessie can't really do that much herself to Alice at the moment seeing she's so close to Ariel but she can block the door at the very least. If Alice does reach it, she will find it stuck if she attempts to open it have locked itself. One of the many enchantments Arik have put up around the keep since he was here.

[Gullara]

[Entrance]

Alice can't do anything to resist being captured unfortunately. "Dammit all. It was Libra. She made me do this." She says angrily. With any luck Cessie have some understanding based on that.

[Shadowcaller]

[Entrance]

Cessie looks absolutely furious at Alice but don't even utter a word to her, instead she turns to Ariel, slowly approaching the other woman. "Are you okay? She didn't hurt you did she?" She asks in a gentle voice.

[Guest Room - Harnel]

Harnel, I was just assaulted by a crazy woman, what did you want? I'm so sorry I couldn't talk to you but I was busy if you understand. He'll hear through their connection.

"Snyyyuuuu. <Yep! I can make anything, so long as it's pretty, and shiny, and nice and hard to lay on. I get really hungry afterwards though. Oh! And if I eat too much, I make coins all over everywhere. Kirin hates when I do that.>"

Kashi seems pretty bored of explaining things already, and tilts his head to the side.

Snyui~? <Hey, do you wanna play tag?>"

Ummm... I'm not sure if I'm dressed for playing tag. The long dress isn't good for running, you know, Dorota explains, feeling really awkward.

[Reinholdt]

"Is there any specific food that causes these reactions more than others?" Nadas asks. Scribble scribble.

That meanie totally ignored the tag offer.

[UncleWolf]

Entrance

"Aside from costing me a month's work, I'm fine." Ariel admits before glaring at "Alice" and tightening her tail to the point of being somewhat painful.

[Slii Arhem]

Foyer

"Snyuii~. <Not really. Heavy stuff is usually better for that, because there's more... stuff in it. Oh! And milk doesn't make it happen at all, just makes me full. Same with cream, and butter, and cheese, and ice cream, and cream cheese...>" Kashi is distracted for a moment, wondering if there's such a thing as butter flavored iced cream cheese. Maybe he'll ask Harnel for some when he gets better.

[Gullara]

[Entrance]

If Alice is any kind of pain she doesn't show it. Under different circumstances she might point out that it's not her fault Ariel is a klutz, but she keeps to herself for now. "Look, you might as well just let me walk away. I'll be out of your life forever as soon as I'm out of here."

[Morty]

[Foyer]

Fascinating... is the only thing Dorota has to say.

[Shadowcaller]

[Entrance]

Once again Cessie completely ignores Alice but the earth elemental positions itself very close to her, as do the air elemental to prevent any attempts of escape.

Instead Cessie kneels down to the dropped gift and gently touches the warping paper, looking up at Ariel. "May I?" She asks before starting to open paper around the broken gift.
