He spends maybe a little more time than necessary, pulling on his goggles and searching for hidden caches.

    Jim looks around the room from the new corner.

    The neon girl flags down the bartender and belts off their list of drinks, loud enough to be heard over the pounding music. "Two Ichor Liqours, a Green Russian, a Coffee Martini, and... hell, a bottle of absinthe! For me and the elf!" She points at Dena. Who needs taking care of? It's not like she hasn't got a limo if people need rides. "This place has some highbrow stuff for a club," She comments. Her gaze, inevitably, gets drawn back to Lorenzo. "So what does that stuff taste like?"

    [Malchenar Laboratory]

    Sticks frowns uncomfortably. He wants to say that he does mind, that he won't submit his weapons in a place he hardly trusts, but he also doesn't want to seem rude or stubborn. And of course, on another level, he's just a little too cowardly to refuse.

    "Well I don't... I don't have a lot of weapons, per say," Sticks manages to reply. He taps the staff he's been walking with on the ground, creating a noise like a clear bell being struck. A veil upon the item lifts, beginning at the bottom, a disturbance in the air climbing upward to eat away the illusion and reveal a towering glaive nearly as tall as Sticks himself. Its twin, rippling prongs are very obviously enchanted to those with the eye for such things. This, he'll pass to the guard.

    That really is the only weapon he's got. Unless you count... "What about Bolts?" He asks, pointing at the automaton. "May I keep my bird?"

    Bolts is also enchanted, very heavily so in comparison to the staff, but the extent of which seems to be hidden behind a powerful veil.


    [Malchenar Laboratory]

    The tall guard accepts the weapon but doesn't move an inch otherwise. Celestel clears her throat. "Let him keep the bird, the master will understand."

    The guard just stands there for a moment but eventually stands aside, letting Sticks go past. "I'm deeply sorry for that, it's just the standard procedure." His guide attempts to explain as they move further into the corridor. Sticks might note this section of the castle completely lacks light sources. The only lantern here is the one Celestel is holding, lighting their way through the darkness.

    Of course, thanks to Stick's nightvision he will be able to see that these halls are strangely spartan compared to the lavishly decorated nobles quarters. There are strange pale green lamps hanging from the ceiling but rather than to lit up the room they seem to somehow absorb the light coming from Celestel's lantern, making it even darker.

    [Club Pulse]

    Dena throws Tina a glance when she hears "elf" mentioned. She really wanted her drunk didn't she? Probably part of her little strategy, but wasn't she going home with Cassidy now? Then again, Tina's "plans" probably changed by the second. "Ha! You ought to be careful what you say, some might take that as a challenge." Dena waggles her eyebrows. "Not me though, I prefer to stay classy." At least compared to Tina.
    "What about you? Do you go wild or play it cool?" Dena asks the vampire.

    [Malchenar Castle]

    Jim really need to tell people he's an herbivore before asking people that.

    "There is this wonderful Guverne pie the chef makes..." Ishani starts as she moves behind Jim in the armchair. "And it's all part of the service here master Jim. Service is our trade. Speaking of which, may I interest you in a massage?" She gently places her slender and skillful hands upon his neck. "You feel a bit stiff." She observes.

    [Cat Burglar Heist]

    The Cat Burglar has acquired loot! I would describe it more into detail but considering he took nearly everything it might be enough to point out there were a lot of strangely shaped jewels laying around. However as he's busy looting the place he can hear movement outside the door. A number of people are coming walking through the corridor.

    "I understand. I'm certain your lord is a great man. Great men often possess terrible enemies," Sticks declares graciously. He gives the guard one last shaky glance before he follows hurriedly after Celestel.

    This, he comes to regret. He follows his dark-skinned guide through the dark, empty corridors, listening intently to the steps of his old shoes. "Your lord," Sticks begins. "Your lord is a man, is he not?" Gods, don't let that seem rude.

    The escort smiles. "You may call me Volar. Strange name, I know. But it is the one I have." She admits as she reaches up to pluck a magnolia blossom to put in her hair.

    Lotus Garden

    The farm hand raises an eyebrow. "Some sorta angel from what I hear. Why's it matter to ya? This is jus' a place to have a good time and maybe buy a little something for the special someone."

    Demon Hunting

    Talaitha nods. "Let's hope we get there soon then." She admits before turning her head to watch as the scenery goes by outside the window.

    Lotus Temple - Now

    "Describe the type of daemon to me."
    Jezebel asks, eyebrow raised in curiosity.

    Lotus Gardens - Outside

    The Dalachrechians won't meet any resistance until they get to the Temple where one of the two guards asks what they are there for.

    Lotus Gardens- Dalachrechians

    One of the figures speaks; they sound as though they are a young woman. "We were sent by High Priest Defelent A'dam of the Neo-Reformed Temple of Dalachrech, which is located in Bugside. Jezebel offered training to Defelent, and we have come to accept." If the guard is particularly aware of his emotions, he may feel a slight pressure pushing down on his sense of curiosity, making him less likely to question further. However, if he has aluminium around his head or is close to somebody protected from mental or emotional tampering, this attempt will not succeed.

    Lorenzo shrugs his shoulders. "Ichor liquor, yeah. It takes alright, but I don't really drink it for the taste." He gives them a toothy smile. Pointy, too. "The main ingredient suits my tastes, you could say."

    Bello isn't paying his friend much mind. Or the other three women, honestly. He seems to have latched on to Dena. "Hm, that's a good question. I think I prefer to play it cool. At first at least." He smiles lecherously.

    Under normal circumstances, Jim would be a little wary of this whole thing, but it's really just a tempting offer. I mean, he really ought to stop being so paranoid about all of this. There's been nothing to indicate that the Lord and Lady have been anything but sincere in their offers. Plus, as his faun subconscious reminds him, he never treats himself to anything. He's not fat anymore, and while he's here he might as well enjoy the benefits. Well, some at least. There are some clear limits he has, of course.
    "That sounds nice, Bellamon. I can't eat meat, by the way. I suppose that's important to mention." he says, only then remembering that they couldn't have possibly heard him when he mentioned it earlier.
    He considers the woman's suggestion. He flinches slightly at hands on his neck, but it's really just a reflex.
    "Sure, I suppose. I've never had something like that done before."
    Jim, for obvious reasons, has never been anywhere fancy enough to have a masseuse.

    Thamn tilts his head in confusion and even the robot looks confused at that answer.

    "Really? And then you work in something a place where you worship two gods? You must feel discomfort the whole time."


    Well a place where you worship gods can also be called tempel. Still that doesn't need to be like church.

    Stuffing the last of whatever's within reach into his pockets, the Cat Burglar slinks back to the door to watch through the keyhole. Can't be good news. Too many feet for just a vet. As a precautionary measure he re-locks the door, carefully letting the pins ease back into place with as little noise as possible.

The neon-eyed girl shoves it at the drow, arm outstretched, silver bracelets dangling from her wrist. "C'mon, if we don't all get plastered what fun is it?"

    Exactly!
    So, Lorenzo, what about you? Do you go wild or play it cool?

    Cassidy raises her glass to Tina in a mock toast. Really, these guys weren't nearly ugly enough to be vampires, but she may as well play into the whole thing, the night was looking too good not to. "You sure do, Tina," she says.

    Well a place where you worship gods can also be called tempel. Still that doesn't need to be like church.

    "Then I'm sorry." Tumasi says before focusing his attention on DC again. "Keep this war of yours out of our city, Mr. Halley. No body around here is going to tolerate it, least of all Tenebras." He says. He has no real authority, but he's got a hunch that Ramiro won't support any side of this mess.

By someone who, I might add, already participated in an attack on this city. I don't understand why he gets so much favoritism, but I guess I'll just have to kill him anyway," he rants, his voice dripping with anger and venom.

    "I won't be part of anything with him in it. He's gone too far, he expects everyone to act like he's this untouchable saint who can do no wrong while simultaneously trying to kill them. I'm not gonna play his game, and right now, I'm having an awfully hard time imagining why the **** I shouldn't get his genetics and kill all of him."

    ((Magtok skipped by his request))


    "I hate you both," Sunny snarls, with tears running down her face. She'll continue to shut down the building and all the fire power therein. It's possible Tenebras might have questions for her when it's all done. If not, she won't stick around.

"Alright, Mistress Jezebel will tell you the rest of the rules, I'm sure, but the general procedures here are that you can expect to see a lot of pleasurable things, so don't be surprised and do feel free to ask to join in. Oh, and don't go in the storage room," she continued, pointing at a side door. "I caught a prowler earlier and I need to talk to Mistress about what to do with her."

    Okay, now Invidia is having a LOT of difficulty.
    I'll keep that in mind, Rebecca. Do you know the rules on contacting others? We're not allowed to leave the Lotus Gardens for a year...
    Invidia asks.

    "Contacting others is allowed, but," Rebecca lifts a finger in warning, "your contacts will be monitored." She paused, then smiled. "However, I bet that after a year...you won't want to leave. Life here is delightful."

    Chloe, for her part, simply sat on the edge of the bed, before stretching.

    "What all do you need to know?" His escort asks as she reaches up to undo the top few buttons of her shirt to allow the sunlight to reach her and making her sigh in pleasure at the warmth.

    Lotus Temple - Dalachrech

    They'll feel that the guard's mind wards off the suggestion, but even so he doesn't argue and gestures for them to step into the temple. "Many blessings upon you." He says sincerely.

    After a few minutes, they will find Jezebel coming through a doorway on the far side to meet them in the temple proper. She's dressed in a tight blue sequin dress that seems to stretch slightly with her movements. "It is a pleasure to meet you."

    Lotus Temple - Later

    "What does the demon represent or control? Or is it just a spirit?"
    The Daemon-Queen asks, raising an eyebrow ever-so-slightly.

    Lotus Gardens

    The farm hand just smiles and waves before heading off, whistling to himself as he tosses a bag of coin back and forth between his hands.

    There's plenty of people on the way to the temple. Everything from prostitutes to merchants to all sorts of visitors.

    Ah. You're probably correct anyways. It just feels a bit... disconcerting to be, in a way, separated from the rest of the Nexus.

    Lotus Temple- Dalachrechian Assassins

    Unfortunately, the nature of the ability is such that the person manifesting it cannot tell when it is not working, save only through direct observation of their body language, which often gives clues as to one's emotional state.

    "I assure you, Milady, the pleasure is all ours." The speaker, the third figure, bows low as he talks; his voice is that of a man in his early twenties.

    Are there any metal detectors nearby, as a security measure?

    Competence is a good thing, in general. It leads to things getting done, quickly, with high quality. It's a state difficult to achieve for some, but being good at things is always in demand in the world. It's the definer of what can be done, and what cannot, the difference between easy and impossible. Without competence, the world would have ground to a halt long ago.

    Unfortunately, what happens next may make Obriane question just how competent her mark is.

    The apartment building she's on the approach to has an explosion on the second floor, which eerily only pours green out of the windows of that one apartment. Screaming can be heard from within, but the figure of a red robed tiefling flies out through the window, obviously being carried by the explosion, and with the deftness of a cat the robed figure manages to land on his feet on the lawn just outside.

    He calmly reaches into a pocket of his robe and dials a few numbers, "Hello? Yes. Riverside. I'm aware this is the second time this month, it'll only last until- right, fine, sorry, it won't happen again. Thank you."

    the green fire inside the tiefling's home continues to roar angrily. Actual roaring can be heard within. Sora just frowns as he places the cellphone back in his pocket.
