Cessie raises an eyebrow. "Oh, I'm sorry. it's a figure of speech in home city. It means that it was a long time since we met." She pauses as she sees his confusion. "We met at that mummified dragons vault. I was looking for a cure for my former husband who had turned into a demon."
[Surface Clinic]
"Whoa!" Anika suddenly steps forward with her hands raised. "I got a better idea. She claims while turning to Wenomir. "They just got attacked by demons so they might not be safe. So why don't you go with them, Wen? Then you can ask Shanti all the questions you want too."
Shanti who was already leaving with Natharia in tow frowns at this idea. "That really isn't necessary."

Blanche narrows her eyes, stepping forward to address Shanti. ”Do you seriously think they won’t try going after you again? That they won’t send a stronger force? If we weren't there to help protect her, your daughter wouldn't be here. What makes you think that you'll be able to keep her safe when they go after her next?"Last edited by Arkhosia; 2019-07-22 at 08:48 AM.

Wenomir smiles slightly, in a way that's almost warm and pleasant.

"I am trying to do my best to protect her as we speak." Shanti insists and let's out a sigh. "But fine, fine. Come along then." The druid gestures for Wenomir to follow as she turns to Natharia. "Sorry, I guess he has to tag along."
Anika raises an eyebrow and leans down towards Blanche. "That was awfully easy."

"Ahh..." Reinholdt says, taking a moment yet to remember which mummified dragons vault. "Ohhh, right. The one with the flooding. I should really invest in some scuba gear and get all those bones and treasure left down there. Then again... water."
Rein shrugs. "And how did that turn out? With your husband that is. Were you able to cure him?"

The sorceress nods. "We were, he or she now, was completely cured. Haven't seen her in a while but I figure they're doing well, so thank you for your concern." She does seem to brush off the topic rather quickly with a follow up question however. "But I'm guessing you have greater concerns if you are here in VIGIL, Reinholdt. We didn't get to know one another all that well after all, even if your reputation proceeded you the first time we met."

Blanche nods minutely, watching the trio leave. "I'm surprised she didn't put up more of a fuss. Still acting all high and mighty though." The woman radiated a sense of entitlement and arrogance to her, which was more than enough to get on her nerves... but the fact that acting that way actively left Natharia in danger brought her dislike to a whole new level."Are we living a life that is safe from harm? Of course not, we never are. But that's not the right question. The question is: are we living a life that is worth the harm?"

Re: VVVVVigil: Valorous Veterans Vanquishing Venal Vermin

Reinholdt smiles sympathetically to Cessie, glad to hear she was cured at least, though doesn't mention anything else about what seemed a topic to avoid.
"Ah-haha. Yes. Reputation." Reinholdt rubs the back of his head. Well, it would be pretty silly to expect one of the commanders of VIGIL to not be well studied in the history of why Watchtower was founded in the first place. But then, that hurdle was always to be expected coming here.
"Well what exactly has Arlem told you regarding my son's soul?" Reinholdt asks so he isn't just repeating things she already knows.

Cessie raises an eyebrow at the topic Rein now presents. She should have figured. "That its dangerous." She remarks cryptically. "Not that Arlem needed to tell me. DC mentioned it several times and I don't think I need to tell you what his opinion of you was. Now, I don't carry the same grudge but his constant insistence was more than enough to make me concerned."

Rein tilts his head a little. "Yeesss? That goes without saying. No one would dare dispute that. Concern is the proper response. So then... you don't know? I thought Wenomir... Did Arlem even?" Reinholdt pauses and rubs his face. Either there's been a miscommunication or much more likely, his request didn't even make up the chain of command.
"I'll have to start at the beginning then. Some time ago I sent an agent to negotiate on my behalf about transferring custody of the soul to me. Arlem came to me to confirm this request. I assured her the agent was speaking on my behalf and elaborated to her questions where I could. I wished to have something to remember him by and... well quite frankly his soul is... well all there is. I also mentioned concerns I had with VIGIL's security based on prior incidents. I informed Arlem that I was building the most secure fortress I could fathom that would double as a mausoleum."
"An alternative option came up as well that we both considered worth pursuing. Namely, putting the soul to rest forever. I have a powerful group of mages researching the issue. If it worked out my son's soul would no longer be capable of ever posing a threat again. Which would be a great relief. I... dealing with it- dealing with Shepard twice was two too many times." Reinholdt closes his eyes for a moment and takes a breath before continuing.
"Arlem made some insistent passes at the demon staff I have before we agreed to revisit the topic when my own security was in place for my initial request of simple custody. I consented to have it inspected and well, that brings us to today. Following up and all that. I tried to earlier, but there was a disaster in Riverside that understandably demanded your attention." Reinholdt falls quiet, that being more or less the whole story. Ah. His hands are shaking. Didn't even notice. Best just slide those into his pockets

Cessie folds her hands and looks at Rein with a neutral expression. "I wasn't trying to argue that point, Rein. It's just that I can't say much regarding what I know or don't know about the situation right now. Instead, I'm going to have to request that we go and discuss this in Wenomir's office as he should hear whatever is said and decided between us. Arlem should join us as well. Is that alright with you?"
[Surface Clinic]
"She got some kind of plan, you can always count on that." Anika mumbles as the two watches Wenomir, Shanti and Natharia walk away. "That would be alright if they weren't also creepy evil plans." The druid pauses. "Do you have any annoying relatives, Blanche? Or evil ones for that matter."

"Eh, kinda," the catgirl responds with a shrug, tilting her head in thought. "No siblings, but my mom was a bit of an absentee due to work and I literally never met my dad 'til... I dunno, about six months ago? I'm told he was kind of a prick back in the day, but he seems alright." There was quite a bit of context Blanche has missed about the whole Reinholdt saga, and she never took the time to delve too deeply into it."Are we living a life that is safe from harm?

Re: VVVVVigil: Valorous Veterans Vanquishing Venal Vermin
[Wenomir's House]
After the eventful night that resulted from Cass' unexpected visit, Wenomir wakes up. A bit later than he normally would, but he's an early riser even after... all that's happened. He turns to look at the elven woman sleeping near him. He still has no idea where it will all lead to... but if nothing else, they had fun this night, didn't they? One thing at a time. And right now, the thing is explaining why there's a dark elf in his house that no one saw or heard enter. But maybe that can wait until they've eaten, at least.
"Good morning, Cassandra," he tells her as he gets out of bed and starts looking for some clothes. "Would you care for some breakfast?"Last edited by Morty; 2019-08-08 at 04:07 AM.

Anika nods. "He might have changed. Though, this is something I've regretfully learned, never trust someone until you've hanged out a lot with 'em. I though my sister was trustworthy for the longest time until she repeatedly proved otherwise. Some people can seem super-nice until it really comes down to it. Then they just abandon you." The druid frowns. "I think Shanti gave up on the 'seem nice' part though, now she's just... bleh." The druid sticks out her tongue in disgust.
"But I think it's safe to say Wenomir pretty much gave us permission to cleanse the well now so it won't attract more demons. Though i don't think we can go there alone anymore." She pauses, pondering. "Hey, is your mom a badass?" What a peculiar question.

Blanche quirks an eyebrow, stifling a laugh. ”Heh, definitely not. She’s a doctor.” There’s a pause. “Although I think my dad’s still an adventurer. Might’ve even done some work with VIGIL back when it was still Watchtower even? I haven’t really checked.”"Are we living a life that is safe from harm? Of course not, we never are.

Arriving
A European robin, a small brown bird with a red chest, lands on the flying island. There, it twists and grows and expands, the wings shifting and turning into arms, the beak retracting into a face that becomes more human with every moment. When the process ends, Natalie straightens, a tanned European girl with shoulder-length black hair and bright green eyes, aged about fifteen. She's wearing a green t-shirt and a pair of denim shorts, with slightly grubby white trainers on her feet and no socks. She looks around, before holding out a hand. Red light flares about her hand and card symbols flash into existence about her, and then her outstretched hand is holding a battered red rucksack, and she stumbles slightly as she'd forgotten how heavy the bag was.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle.

Cass is a quick waker, as might be expected, up and alert as soon as Wenomir addresses her. That alertness subsides after a moment, though, and she sits up with a relaxed languor, giving Wenomir a drowsy half-smile.
"I could appreciate breakfast," she says.Originally Posted by Lord Magtok

Karasu appears, and Natalie's used to the method by now so she doesn't choose something less flashy: she rides on a passing person's shadow and jumps out, materializing into a small sprint, her hands outstretched to pull Natalie into a hug. "It's great to see you, luv; it feels like we hardly spend time together these days."

Awen the witch, all dressed up and with some of her snake-hair visible due to the outfit she was wearing to the party, returns to the skybase.
She's got a book on summoning in one hand, and a mask in the other. She really should rest so that she can recover, but first she needs to get back to the library to return this book.
She takes it easy on her way there, however.Favorite sports:

After finally pulling on some trousers and a sleeveless shirt, Wenomir heads out of the bedroom.
"The kitchen is this way. Come over when you're ready."
Once Cass does so, she'll find Wenomir making what looks like oatmeal on the stove. There's some apples and bananas nearby as well.

Or arrange things so we meet up at least once a week, even if it's not quite a date, y'know? Just to hang out and enjoy each other's company."

”His name’s Reinholdt,” Blanche answers, clearly not grasping his significance. “Well, not the worst job, all things considered. Having good swords are pretty damn important for any fighter, so it sounds like his role is fairly integral at some level.

[Wenomir's House]
A few minutes later, and Cass wanders out, wearing her own trousers and shirt. She'd thought about raiding Wenomir's closet for one of his shirts to wear, but decided against it. It's just not the same if he hadn't been wearing it. She leans against the counter, smirking.
"Is that right? Mr 'wild'?" She says, before immediately regretting her glib response. She rubs the back of her head, suddenly awkward herself. It made sense. She'd never expected him to be so... assertive. Not that he'd ever shy, exactly - from what she remembers, he'd basically been the one to make every move first, before - but he'd also never...
Thrown you around like a sack of potatoes?
"I... see." She says, flushing slightly at the crude direction her thoughts had been running.
"You're not my first, either." She says, plainly.Last edited by Ashen Lilies; 2019-08-08 at 08:56 PM.

Reinholdt tilts his head, confused at the reply he considers quite odd. Doesn't know what she can say about what she... knows? Was there something else to know?
...Maybe she was just being extra cautious. Rein can respect that.
"Yeah. That's absolutely fine with me." Reinholdt stands up. "It'd be good to know where his office is anyways." So he doesn't just wander around randomly again.

Wenomir smiles at Cass' quip and doesn't seem to notice her subsequent embarrassment. Or he decides to roll with it. He's not surprised Cass has been with other men in the meantime, either - she was far too forward for someone who'd been abstaining from it.
"That's just something you pick up when you have an affair with a woman who's taller than you and can lift you one-handed," he says, with candid honesty. "You may remember Harnel. But she goes by Harnetta now. She wasn't comfortable in a man's body and with a man's name, as it turns out. We had a brief affair, then she left the Nexus again."Last edited by Morty; 2019-08-09 at 02:22 PM.
