Re: Inside 67: Shadow over Innside
[The First Wave]
He checks his watch and frowns, watching the couple standing a little ways down from the alley.
They don't bother paying attention back, he's just some normal looking guy taking a cigarette break to them. This isn't the reality of the situation, but it is the perception.
It is a part played very deliberately, affected with slightly worn jeans and a rumpled white t-shirt. Mussed, short hair, uneven facial stubble on a dark complexion.
Nothing important.
There's a subtle, wet noise from the alley behind him and he rolls his eyes.
"Finally."
Another casual glance towards the couple and he turns around, tossing the remnants of the cigarette to the ground.
Deeper within, a naked woman coated thickly with blood steps out from behind a dumpster, licking some of the fluid from her finger tips with a sensual joy.
"Mmmmmm, he was a good one. Such a sad, sad man."
A sharp shake of her head splatters blood from black hair and feline ears, along the walls around her. Following the disgusted look from the man, she gives him a coy smile and a little hip waggle.
"Aw, poor baby's sensibilities rumpled? Fine...fine. I'll keep this one stashed for...later pleasures."
The man turns back around, looking away as another wet, tearing noise filters through the alley. He coughs over part of it, drawing a brief look and dismissal from the couple.
Minutes later, perhaps three or four, and a filthy beggar man steps from the alley to join him on the street.
"Le's get goin', aye?"
"Remains?"
"Eh, whut remains?"
There's another eye roll, after the beggar's quite chuckle, and the pair walks off down the street towards the deeper city."Fear and creativity are conjoined twins."

Anastasia continues to stare and Layne as she dials. You are unhurt. She eventually decides.
She rises back to her feet. He treated you. She motions toward Ibby, before continuing to loom ominously as Ibby and Layne presumably sort out their business.

You need to take a risk sometimes Fade dear. Derryth says, slightly pointedly. And the higher the risk the higher the profit. Ilar adds, spearing some of his desert to mark the point.

Einion raises his hands in a shrug. What is the tree to a branch? It is all I have known, since time immemorial. If I had to proffer something I'd say... changeable. He says, gesticulating with one hand as he searches for the word. Afterall, you... oh my I'm sorry I don't believe you ever introduced yourselves? He adds, leaving the question implied.Avatar by Me!

Autumnal Equinox Ball"Sounds like someone needs to not draw attention to herself. I mean, for a particular reason." You're not fooling anyone, Alex. Your shadow gave you away! Anchor smiles like she's giving Alex a wink, though with her glasses it's not exactly clear.
Hmm. When does the next course show up? This fruit and chocolate thing...no good.
"I suppose that's why I never ended up in an organization like that. Distant people making all the decisions, people judging you for wanting to contribute, no thanks." She's pretty sure Inari's temple isn't actually a bureaucratic nightmare, but perhaps on the ground Tamamo's really is stifling? No, it's probably just Alex's scheme, whatever that is. But Anchor can respond to it all the same.

"You did sustain a minor head injury, miss," Ib'bahali points out. "You may want to try to remain still until emergency personnel arrive and check you."
Did he call the local hospital?
Probably.
Or he was going to!
He just finished up the baffle when the woman started to rouse.
Wouldn't want emergency personal being exposed to the Yellow Sign if it can be avoided.
"For what it's worth, the person who assaulted you ran away," he adds.

"Leprechauns have a rep. That reputation is of a rich, fashionable, suave minor fey that can't be trusted. Nobody'd hire me for a low-ranked position- they'd think I'm too good for the job and would flake out. Nobody'd hire me for a higher position, as a manager or whatever, because they wouldn't trust me not to abuse whatever power they gave me. And if ever I tried spending gold, nobody'd accept it. So all that's left is self-employment. Besides, danger is fun. I'd rather do what I do than be some worthless desk jockey or shelf-stacker or worse." The higher the risk, the greater the profit, and the more fun Paddy has. Paddy would happily go bankrupt tomorrow, so long as he enjoyed the journey down. And then enjoy his rise back up again.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle. Much thanks!

Dozens of potential patrons begin to flee as soon as Yurioc's magics take effect, many of which begin to call Intersection.
The door, fortunately, is not locked. Merely closed.

Xeni lets himself in, repeating that not-quite comprehensible word he spoke with Layne earlier, erecting a barrier across the front of the building.
No else in. No one else out. At least not through the front.
Consequently, over at the alley, that barrier disappears!
"Can you give me a filter, Yu? I don't want to turn a corner and look onto a whole wall of mind-infection without any time to react."
I can supply something basic. Having expunged my intimate knowledge of the symbol, I cannot make a comprehensive filter.
"Whatever you can give me."
Another blue pulse from the mouse, which settles in a somewhat visor-y form over Xeni's eyes.
Basic is very accurate: it's simply going to black out all the paintings in the building when they swing into sight.
Now! Off to go find someone who works here, before the panic sets in."Fear and creativity are conjoined twins."

Re: Inside 67: Shadow over Innside
I'm scared to ask what actually counts as forward for you. Cantata remarks, in her usual, playful manner. She raises her eyebrows in delight at the arrival of the newest course, and digs in with clear relish. While she still maintains a fair bit of decorum about her dining, the songstress can't help but hide the enthusiasm for the decadent dessert. In truth, it's been a while since she had gotten a chance to attend a high-class event like this. The food is always the best part.
Well, second best, she corrects herself, glancing back at the two gorgeous beauties beside her.
I'm glad people enjoyed the show, I certainly won't forget it. That is... unless you can think of a way to top it? The songstress asks Marina as she leans closer, giving her a daring little look that was just begging for her to take the challenge even as a sparkle of good-natured cheer glimmered in her amber gaze.
The woman nods. "I'll admit they're a rarity on my home as well, clearly not unheard of though."
She pauses as a thought occurs to her and opens her mouth to voice it, before Tank takes a sudden interest in the strange new woman before him. Stumbling just the slightest bit forward and waving her arms a little to steady herself, the catgirl blinks in surprise as she processes what just happened.
Tank, meanwhile, would reap the rewards of his investigations. Blanche smells pleasant, like lilacs, but her perfume masked an enduring odor of oil and gunshot residue. An even softer, fainter odor of cigarette smoke clung to her jacket, and a tinge of alcohol lingered on her breath. And of course, there was a feline quality to her thanks to the ears and tail.
Hopefully he doesn't have any allergies.
"So, um... would you like to grab a drink, or something?" Blanche asks, trying with some level of success to play off the slightly off-putting interruption she had just experienced. There was a tint of awkwardness to her request as well, as if she was unsure what she was supposed to do here; she didn't really do this sort of thing often, asking anyone if they wanted to go and do... things. Just, like, in general.Last edited by Arkhosia; 2018-11-03 at 02:08 PM.

Re: Inside 67: Shadow over Innside
[Ominous Street]
Ib'bahali will allow the woman to flee?
He does say, "Miss, you really shouldn't be moving around," but she's already gone.
Not like people should listen to him.
Not like he's a diviner or anything, able to draw secrets form the lips of the cosmos itself.
Not like he would have any idea what he's talking about, no sir.
"Umm... Miss Ogre?" he asks somewhat hesitantly. "Would it be possible for you to follow our friend at a respectable distance and make sure nothing unbecoming happens to her?"
He's really hoping the ogre will listen and not eat his legs instead.
He's really attached to his legs.
That said...
Now he'll wait!
For Intersection to arrive!
So he can inform them that they're dealing with a class four, potentially class five memetic cognitohazard outbreak.Warning! Random Encounter™ detected!

Anastasia watches Layne run off impassively. Good deed for the day done and she didn't even get anything from it. Shows her. Next time, rifle through her pockets first.
She turns away from Layne only to find this small person talking to her again.
Ah, he's asking the 10ft tall zombie ogre to discreetly follow someone for no appreciable gain.
<$100 US> She tells Ibby. Better decide quick, Layne's getting away!

You don't take every risk. Derryth, give it up. Fade is clearly not interested. She starts poking at her desert dejectedly. How do you mean, an exception? Just your natural charisma, perhaps? Ilar asks Fade, not above teasing him a little himself.
Cantata, Fettina, Marina
Gosh they were being forward. She really should have considered this possibility more thoroughly. She thought she had driven Cantata off a bit with that scene she made in the Den. She just... it wouldn't be right. Not yet.
I think you have found plenty of... enjoyment for yourself. Marina says, smiling at Cantata. Naturally graceful enjoyment.
Anchor and Alex
Well, make sure your patience isn't stagnation. Easiest way to the bottom, that.
Ah, but, Anchor - surely you are part of just such an organisation. Just... approaching from the top? Meinir does not know if Message has a temple but she assumes so. Her player doesn't know either which makes this roleplay extremely authentic.Avatar by Me!

"Oh for goodness sake..." Ib'bahali mutters as he withdraws his wallet. "I try to avoid carrying too much cash on my person," he complains as she fingers through the bills. "And I live on Arkham Street. The money there is still on the gold standard and worth considerably more than what you would find in more 'advanced' parts of the city."
With a frown, he withdraws four bank notes from his wallet and gives them a mournful look.
"I have twenty. But that's worth a little over two hundred and fifty in Monopoly Money, if my calculation on inflation rates is accurate. I'm afraid it's the best I can do."
Hopefully the ogre takes it.
And doesn't rip off his arm along with the cash.
Because like his legs, he's pretty attached to his arm.
He waves the bills at the ogre and hopes for the best.Warning! Random Encounter™ detected!

"Independent totally legitimate businessmen, that's what leprechauns do. That or conmen." More leprechaun conmen than gangsters, so Paddy's a bit unusual. He'll wait to hear Fade's answer, though. Fade's interesting in a rather bland way.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle. Much thanks!

Cassidy doesn't have any magic ability to see in the dark, but her eyes do adjust to darkness quicker than normal - another perk of being an adept. For now, though, she's in the dark. "Cripes, I'll have to go buy some floodlights once this place is mine." She liked mood lighting as much as anyone else, but there was a difference between that and not knowing where you're going.
She hears the sounds of footsteps from her right, and sighs a little. "Hey if anyone wants to just surrender and show me to this place's boss, I'm game."
Mazino's
"It isn't my model's purpose. I'm supposed to be a soldier, and not much else." Onora shrugs as well, then blinks. "I don't... really know. I've actually never been on a date before. I know the dang Pod said I had, but I'm pretty sure that was just when she and I went off to the desert to fight machines together. This is all pretty new to me." Her eyes cast downward somewhat. She gets to meet a real human, a cute one too, and she's sure she's blowing it.

"What sort of markets do you have that do not sell simple food?" Iamar says, with her eyes wide open. Then she shakes her head. "I am sorry, I should not ask such questions of your home. I'm sure your food is only different."
Fishery
Iamar's eyes narrow as she turns towards the movement, lowering her stance and placing a hand on the hilt of her sword, making soft and silent steps toward the thing in the shadows. She also signals to Felandria with her free hand to back her up - she still wasn't sure what her sword was even capable of against these shadow things.Last edited by Devixer; 2018-10-10 at 09:03 PM.

The wolf-woman looks down at the rubies. She'd been hoping this was more tied to the nature of hell itself, rather than a mission that happened to take place in Hell. On the other, much stronger hand, that's a lot of gems. They could really use that kind of treasure.
And she's been to hell. She's beaten an archdevil! How bad can this-you know, let's not even finish that thought.

"Blessed thing doesn't work now, does it? Very well then." The drow reaches up and unclasps his cape with a flourish, but as be takes it off, there's a flash of light, and standing where the dashing dark elf was, there's a scaly green creature. He stands between 10 and 11 feet tall, with four arms, the upper pair of which end in serrated bone blades instead of hands. He wears a white T-shirt with a logo for something called the "Knaves of Labor" on it, and a pair of blue jeans, along with a simple leather belt with a single burlap pouch hanging from it.

"Um, okay." Annie would normally kick up a fuss at that, but she's been cowed now.
"I'm sure that'll be fun someday." Kitsuki adds. Annie's quite young for all of that, though, so she's not sure when that'd actually happen. "We should probably head out soon, though. Obi's waiting for us at home." She adds. She's even finished her tea. (When did she order that? It must have happened sometime right?)

Finding someone working at the gallery proves to be a bit of a task, for very few employees appear present. After several moments, a particularly bored looking younger person can be found emerging from a bathroom on the side. Stammering, he glances over.

Re: Inside 67: Shadow over Innside
[Autumnal Equinox Ball - Feia, Kramolagh, Jack, and Fae]
Looks like Kramolagh is fine.
Looks like everyone but the fae girl is fine.
Some hurt emotions and minor concerns, but no actual damage to anyone that matters. Jack's trauma is ultimately unimportant, though Feia does watch with a certain hawk-like focus.
Weakness.
"That seemed like a terrible amount of effort and mess for little gain. I almost feel disappointed on her behalf."
Then Maldwyn is back to being a pain and Feia tries really hard to resist the urge to just eat him.
"I have no such troubles in my little metaphorical abode. My acquaintance with Affidavit is very passing, certainly not enough for relevance to his decisions."
[Kingdom Kingdom Contemporary]
That's fair. He really isn't supposed to be here.
Xeni proceeds to not care about this fact, keeping a somewhat grim look on his face and tapping the watch that doesn't exist on his wrist.
"There's an emergency underway, of the sort that's going to get a lot of people killed. A hostile entity has cursed certain images with a contagious effect. I need your help to keep as many people out of coffins as I can."

Re: Inside 67: Shadow over Innside
[Arkham Street - Alley Hideout]
Hearing that someone else came in here (and not knowing if the new person is friendly or not), Awen tries to quickly finish off the guy she's fighting with, with a well-aimed kick between the legs. Whether it was because the hit was actually that powerful, or because the guy succumbs to poison and is unable to move, that one guy is unable to get up after hitting the ground.
Awen, who has no trouble 'seeing' in the dark, looks over to Cassidy. She's actually somewhat glad that the new woman doesn't seem to be able to see Awen all that well, so she takes this opportunity to put the veils back over her head and face. "Um," she says tentatively, "I think maybe they're cultists. Or something. They all seem to come from downstairs."
Once her eyes adjust, Cassidy should be able to see, in addition to the people already down, that this first floor is pretty boring. There's a couple rooms offshooting from this foyer, probably including a bathroom, a dorm room, an office room, a couple sofas and a plastic potted plant, and that down the stairs is a faint light bouncing off the walls, probably candlelight or a fireplace from the warmth of the light...and there's probably only a couple more people downstairs.
Speaking of the stairs, the guy on the right finally makes it up the stairs. He shouts something that sounds like nonsense. Awen casts some sort of invisible and silent spell at the guy, but it appears to have failed so she starts planning a different magic.
The guy with the knife charges straight towards Cassidy, because she's closer. He lunges with his "magic" knife.Favorite sports:

Re: Inside 67: Shadow over Innside

"Hrmm. Much as you are aware of things that I am not, I know of things you don't." Affidavit watches the goings-on below him with a disgruntled expression. "She would think you disposed of? That's it? Pretend to die in some manner and hope she never checks if the "corpse" is just playing dead? Relying on a dragon's arrogance is a foolish strategy, Edict. And as long as there is the risk of her squeezing information out of you, it denies me the ability to confide in you to any degree."
Which makes this all rather bothersome. This is almost making him miss the stupid play-acting Magtok engaged in. They were basically just planning directly with the occasional "not" thrown in for good measure, though probably to little actual effect against whatever nonsense contract the stupid cyborg signed up to. "Let me put it this way. I have a pressing need to make sure Feia has no easy means of leverage she can apply against me. And you-" He jabs his cane in Edict's direction for emphasis, "Are leverage. Relying on her ignorance is not good enough. I have a solution I can put into action now. Do you have an alternative? And are you really going to persist in antagonising Intersection? I am curious as to what you gain from this...aside from giving your mist-creature a snack."

Unfortunately there's not much more Ithuriel can do beyond the golden glowyness. She flashes another comforting smile Naku's way, but that's about all she can really do.

"Did we not introduce ourselves? My apologies, I am Lady Von Holstav, acting as Intersection's representative to your delightful ball, and accompanying My Lady here purely through some divine stroke of luck. I have no doubt that, if I had not bumped into her so quickly, there would have been any number of people ready and willing to accompany her for the evening."Before you criticise someone, walk a mile in their shoes.

Re: Inside 67: Shadow over Innside
Autumnal Equinox Ball"What? No; we're not like that. I know all our clerics, and we have systems to make sure they don't get in each others' way. We want to encourage initiative, you know? I mean, it's true that the closer to Message you get, the more responsibilities you have, but it's things you wanted to do."
Anchor protests. Then again, their organization is rather smaller than Tamamo's. it's not hard to know all the clergy when there's like 4 of them. They certainly don't have anything like Foxside, with its dozens of priests, uncountable worshipers, private army...

"...Sir, what?"
[Fleeing - Layne]
Now night has truly fallen, and Layne rushes through the streets in a panic, unable to see very well as she's accidentally wandered into a particularly poor section of the city, where much of the electrical system has yet to have come back online after a recent altercation at the power plant nearby.
After ten minutes or so, exhausted, slender legs aching and sore, Layne is suddenly grabbed.

Something claws at her ankle, tearing flesh and causing her to cry out before cracking her head once more against the ground. It only takes a few unsettling seconds for the outstretched hand within the nearby storm grate to quickly pull her in, causing her to vanish.
By the time Anastasia has caught up to her scent, she has gone.

Edict shrugs a bit and continues staring off towards where there are some unpleasant chewing noises within the Pink.
"There will never be a time that she cannot 'squeeze' the knowledge she wishes, Professor, if she gets her hand on me. Same as with anyone else in this city. All you will change is a small layer of inconvenience...which I can impart as long as she doesn't see me long enough to undo this ward and act upon her control."
The snake-glyph covered limb is gestured towards.
"I spent a long time studying her sigil craft, both for that god-seal and basic concealing work. What do you have that's so wonderful?"
Maybe Edict is talking this up a bit. Maybe not.
Maybe he's not too worried about it because that blonde-haired head poking its top out of the mist is amusing him terribly.
"Besides, it's not just a snack. It's opportunity."

Oh no, is this one also on drugs?
Xeni struggles desperately with the urge to not slap himself in the face.
