"Look ma'am, with luck this footage will help bring thise responsible to justice." The reporter explains, as the camera crew continue to film, getting as much shocking footage as they can.

Brianna blocks their way. "Get out. If a formal investigator wants to come see it to find out, they can, but you are not formal investigators, so that statement isn't true. This isn't a request."

"Well then, goodbye. Sorry to trouble you" the reporter says, and him and his crew teleport away. They are, of course, keeping the footage they got, and they certainly have enough to use.

Reinholdt returns here. He's exhausted. More than ready to go to sleep, having been up and walking about for over 24 hours. But there's one more thing to do.
He gets a circle of ash going.
"Hello Helios."

"Greetings Reinholdt." Helios replies, the shadows emerging from the circle again,, but this time they don't even bother with the eyes and the smile. The voice is just there. "I noticed you succeeded with destroying the idol, a shame really, it could have been used for so much. But thats the past, so are you ready to uphold your part of the bargain?" The god asks.
"Yes, just step right into the circle, it will at most take few seconds of your time really. I'm rather experienced in this after all." Helios tells him.
Reinholdt will feel how the shadows within the circle swallows him up for a few seconds as something invades his mind, and as Helios said, it doesn't take long until that presence inside his head is gone.
"And we are done, you may step out now. Wasn't so dangerous was it?" The eyes and mouth appears, smiling widely.
((All knowledge shared is taken over ooc, I think I can look for it myself, but if there is something specific you like to mention...))
((Helios is... he would like take information that would allow him to infiltrate or black mail organizations and groups to gain even more knowledge. Or know what people wants to he can trade that for other things.))
"Perfectly harmless. Now before we go, let me remind you that I can help you with whatever you need. I have a great deal of artifacts I have collected over the years along with information and a number of trustworthy servants." Helios informs Reinholdt.
"Spying, trading... among other things. All you need to do is the spread some ash and call my name." He continues.
Reinholdt knows that Magtok and Watchtower are probably the two best informed groups/individuals from his experience. I don't think he has any blackmail on them. Knows what buttons to push if he wanted to aggravate them though.
"I'll... keep that in mind." He usual prefers to get his own information most of the time. But artifacts would certainly be intriguing. "If you'll excuse me, I really want some sleep."

"Wut?" Ember raises and eyebrow, confused. She was wondering about all the wounded people around the camp. You know, the ones Mercury tried to blow up?
Quinn hasn't been in that particular line of temporal flow, due to the Idol Plot. And she's also been in the Jezebelle Plot.
Plotclone Resolution Collision in 3, 2, 1...
"OW!"
Quinn grabs her forehead, promptly de-transforming into her normal form, and falls forwards.
Ember had better catch her!

Zanny raises an eyebrow. Not exactly a common combination. I don't think he's met Jamie, though.
"Pleased to meet you. We're fine. Do you know what that fleshy stuff was?"

"Um...have you ever heard of a Magical Girl?" Mikani offers, a little sheepishly. "It's complicated. Basically I have special powers and can do special stuff! And I can transform..."
At this, the young redhead does a quick, and graceful pirouette, as a breeze blows through GLoG...
...and in a gust of wind and swirl of ribbons, Mikani is gone, and Jamie is there!
Holding a stick instead of a wand.
"...like so! I'm Jamie. Jamie Misaki Catherine Druid."
And she curtseys.
"...I don't know what that stuff was. Other than that it wasn't anything natural. Didn't know I could shoot rays like that either."
Zanny raises an eyebrow. He doesn't exactly see the point of transforming between two human bodies if its not an impersonation.
"I suppose we won't know, then. Oh well. It's gone now, and we know we can combat it if it returns."

Nancy looks utterly confused, her expression could be summarized in "what the ****...". And it seems you can't write a Nancy post without swearing.
"...right." She says after a while. "You transform into a princess..." She shakes her head, trying to forget that part. "Well, it was some type of horror in the style of the dancer, I could feel it... they felt so similar." Apparently she can feel horrors now and have the power to change subjects completely.
Jamie blushes a little, and nods. "The Dancer? What's that? And yeah. Quinn and Tobias Druid are my parents," the now somewhat plainer, and ponytailed instead of pigtailed redhead says proudly.
"Like the Dancer? Could something have followed us from the citadel, or was it perhaps the idol?"
He doesn't answer Jamie's question. Girls her age shouldn't hear about lust demons. >.>

((Of course she doesn't, Nancy was raised in a church, she just picked up the habit of swearing a bit on the streets but still avoids it.))

"My guess? The idol, I felt it was bad news written all over it." She shrugs. "Not that it's my problem anymore."
Then she turns to Jamie. "The dancer is a god of utter freedom, more powerful then anything you can comprehend, I worshiped it, but then your mother drove the piece it had in me out of my head... so I guess I'm free from it now." Nancy explains.
"Neirian must be more powerful then," Jamie says, matter-of-factly. "And I can comprehend quite a lot."
Comes from being the Spawn of Tobias.
And yes, Zanny's right.
"But I'm glad you're free now! And yeah, my parents are really neat and they're totally the best!"
"Actually, the dancer is... from what I have heard, can destroy worlds in it's true form and a lot's of other things. We just summoned an aspect of it." While she technically gave the faith up, Nancy really doesn't like claims that other gods would be powerful then the one she worshiped for quite some years.
"And... yeah, Quinn is pretty great I guess." Talking about parents when you never had ones? Tsk.
"Yeah... Not mine either, I'm happy to say. I don't know what happened to the thing after Quinn took it."
Of course, it's not a problem at all anymore, thanks to Reinholdt. Zanny quirks an eyebrow.
"A bit ironic that you'd need to be freed from a god of freedom, don't you think?"
Not helping, Zanny. >.>

"Hmph, you just don't understand the faith at all Zanny. It was happy when I was freed from it, it was happy when Quinn killed it. You wouldn't understand." Nancy replies with some devotion.
"Question is thought, did it infect your girlfriend? I saw them kissing..." She then tells Zanny a bit more quiet, glancing at Jamie as she attempts to return her smile with moderate success.
A slightly out of continuity Sunny sits at the computer in her newly finished workshop typing.
I'm ready for you to move in, Mainframe
Acknowledged. Downloading core components.
A little box pops up on the screen, informing her how long the download will take, which she immediately minimizes. Ages, that's how long it will take. This was to be a full Mainframe installation, not a portable version. It would be responsible for maintaining and supervising the drones that were even now sitting on a shelf near her, waiting to be brought to life.
It had taken a lot of work to re-create the drones. The original GLoG drones had been magical constructs, created by some artifact known as a Spork of Power. Sunny would not have believed such a ridiculous claim if Mainframe hadn't been able to show her the footage of various members using the rather ridiculous looking giant spork. The artifact had apparently been lost long ago, but even if it hadn't been, Sunny wouldn't have tried to use it. She didn't fear magic, but she didn't trust it either. Technology was always going to be superior.
Mainframe, however, had been a computer from the start, designed and programmed by a woman named Tessa Camlar who was apparently intelligent enough to excel in many fields of study, but her primary training was in wizardry, not computer science. While she had been able to interface Mainframe with the magical construct drones, a thing Sunny would have never been able to do, she had not designed the system as efficiently as Sunny was now able to.
But one inefficiency she left in place: the random personality generator which made each drone take on a life of its own. And one drone in particular, she worked hard to recreate. She dug through terrabytes of old backups in Mainframe's history banks and used every scrap of data she could find on the interactions between this drone and the Mainframe and did her best to recode it as faithfully as possible.
Downloading complete, Mainframe finally says, its voice coming from the computer speaker.
"Please power up Drone 1," Sunny says.
The first drone on the shelf floats into the air in front of Sunny.
Statement: Welcome to the Good League of Good.
Statement: I am the drone unit known as Caretaker.
Query: How may I help you?
Sunny laughs and hugs the drone tightly. "It's good to see you again."
