Clarence Johnson (Oct 27, 2010 10:27:36 PM)
We could head over to eh house of blues with the others, or Derek could be called to Calrence's music studio, or somewhere in the french quarter for a drink?
Derek Aerics (Oct 27, 2010 10:28:45 PM)
*and so derek would make arrangements with clarence to meet in the french quarter for a drink.*
Clarence Johnson (Oct 27, 2010 10:29:55 PM)
Perfect.
Clarence Johnson (Oct 27, 2010 10:30:04 PM)
(I'll kick off...)
Derek Aerics (Oct 27, 2010 10:30:07 PM)
(kk)
Clarence Johnson (Oct 27, 2010 10:32:20 PM)
*Seated in one of those small, outdoor cafe's that line the streets, Clarence sat back comfortably with two other young black men. They were chatting among themselves, laughing from time to time, while talking over drinks. A few other patrons enjoyed the warm night air, with Halloween right around the corner, and plenty of scary decorations hanging here and there. The wroght iron chairs and tables were black and green with age, but the music was fresh and there was a vibrant feeling in the air. After a few minutes, the other two young men stood up, shook hands with Clarence and walked out in no hurry, clearly pleased with the meeting*
Clarence Johnson (Oct 27, 2010 10:33:14 PM)
(which book has the infernal court stuff in it? Descriptions of the ministries?)
Derek Aerics (Oct 27, 2010 10:33:28 PM)
(im' the wrong person to ask)
Clarence Johnson (Oct 27, 2010 10:33:41 PM)
(heh okies :-)
Derek Aerics (Oct 27, 2010 10:34:07 PM)
*derek would make hsi way over to clarence.* good evening. *he would say with a smile*
Clarence Johnson (Oct 27, 2010 10:35:24 PM)
*Dressed in fashionable street clothing - black, white and gold with plenty of bling - Clarence looked up from his highball of whiskey and up-nodded to the man who fit Perri's description* Sup man? *he drawled, standing up to shake Derek's hand* How we doin'?
Derek Aerics (Oct 27, 2010 10:37:32 PM)
*dressed much more rusticly, he'd shake clarence's hand* pleasure, glad we can finall meet.
Clarence Johnson (Oct 27, 2010 10:39:02 PM)
Yeah man, I'm always around but gettin' my ear bent a lot, ya know? *the dreadlocks hung loosely around his shoulders, and despite the darkness, he wore shades that hid his eyes* Sit down man, have a drink. *Clarence sat down again, looked around, and waved a waitress over for Derek's order*
Derek Aerics (Oct 27, 2010 10:39:49 PM)
*he'd get a capt morgan and coke cause thats what the tpo love* yeah.. i dont have too many people in the court too happy with me unfortunately.
Clarence Johnson (Oct 27, 2010 10:41:17 PM)
Wassup wit dat? *he asked casually, swirling the ice in the whiskey* Perri said you'd be a good fit for what I'm tryin' ta do. *he kept the tone casual, but the sunglasses aimed at Derek*
Clarence Johnson (Oct 27, 2010 10:41:53 PM)
(wanna roll legacy, or just auto assume it?)
Derek Aerics (Oct 27, 2010 10:42:23 PM)
(assume)
Derek Aerics (Oct 27, 2010 10:43:12 PM)
I was with nemere on the silver legion tower when he defeated their champion, dieing in the process, I fought relentlessly against the ebons and silvers for what they were doing to humanity.
Clarence Johnson (Oct 27, 2010 10:46:27 PM)
*After Derek spoke, Clarence turned his head from side to side, looking at those nearby. He then looked back to Derek and motionde with his hand to keep his voice low* That's all jus' politics man. *he said in a deep tone then took a sip* We gotta buncha folks who wanna do things one way, and some who wanna do it another way. Maybe... we gotta few who wanna earn their way back upstairs, know what I'm sayin? *he shakes his head dismissively* Don't think nothin' of it, k? That shit'll shake itself out later. Right now... we gotta make sure we get shit done for all of us, ya know?
Derek Aerics (Oct 27, 2010 10:47:23 PM)
*he nods* i understand, and I'm there for it, i just know i got alot of bad looks that night. *pauses looking at clarence* but i'm still loyal to the old ways.
Clarence Johnson (Oct 27, 2010 10:48:25 PM)
Old ways? *he prompted* Ya mean, finish what we started? Or change what didn't work and do it differently? *he asked conversationally, gazing at Derek over the rim of the glass*
Clarence Johnson (Oct 27, 2010 10:49:05 PM)
(Lemme post what you would know through legacy)
Clarence Johnson (Oct 27, 2010 10:50:45 PM)
Celestial Name: Lorbrael, Mortal Name: Clarence Johnson
Luciferan Devil, Crimson Legion
Herald of Twilight's Firey Glow
Clarion Caller of the Charge
Clarence Johnson (Oct 27, 2010 10:50:59 PM)
Embracing it as a sort of Hell on Earth, as Lucifer once imagined, Lorbrael revels in the chaos and confusion that has become of humankind. Molding that chaos through the universal power of song, he hopes to attract other Fallen to him as he had during the war, while attracting humans to listen to angelic lessons, to finish the duty they were entrusted with, under Lucifer’s banner
Clarence Johnson (Oct 27, 2010 10:51:24 PM)
Taking on the role of Fell Knight, before Lucifer even created the ranks of Demonic bands, Lorbrael directed small bands of angels against their bretheren, believing in his heart that they would be victorious – that God would see the wisdom in their actions and stop the war before total destruction consumed the Host. Singing Holy praises to the Lord, and recounting the deeds of angels and their charges, mankind, Lorbrael became a warrior poet, inspiring the rebellion with song.
Clarence Johnson (Oct 27, 2010 10:51:27 PM)
(there)
Derek Aerics (Oct 27, 2010 10:51:28 PM)
*looking back* finished what we started, to the crimson legion, to the vision.
Clarence Johnson (Oct 27, 2010 10:54:08 PM)
*With a subtle salute, Clarence drank to that ideal - flocking to Lucifers banner and finishing what they started* So we're all gettin' togethre now, and doin' shit as a group that'll help us stick around a while, and maybe enjoy a few more things along the way, ya know? You know Perri - shes gettin' folks organized, with you and me now takin' on a role. *pauses* You cool with workin' under me, and hangin' around the rest of the folks in this city?
Clarence Johnson (Oct 27, 2010 10:54:58 PM)
(Can you post what I would know about Derek?)
Derek Aerics (Oct 27, 2010 10:55:07 PM)
(I am)
Clarence Johnson (Oct 27, 2010 10:55:15 PM)
:-)
Derek Aerics (Oct 27, 2010 10:56:21 PM)
celestrial name: xaphan, mortal derek aerics.....reconsilor malefactor, crimson legion.... Slayer of Schatenkoji legions, armor of the crimson, creator of the elements. Xaphan has always been one to want to develope humanity, he loves humans, he helped design and build thier form, he created the elements of iron, colbalt and other metals. A follower and student of Nemere. He was sad to leave Gods side, but his love of humans and respect for nemere convinced him, he was fanatlcal against the ebon and silver legions, those legions bought out rage in him that could equal an ahroun in frenzy, he never forgot humanity or what he wished for them.
Derek Aerics (Oct 27, 2010 10:57:13 PM)
*he nods* i'm fine, i run a camp for under privledged kids, i show them how to forge metals and other items, and let them make things with thier hands and teach through that the importance of math and reading and history and such.
Clarence Johnson (Oct 27, 2010 10:59:09 PM)
And with those experiences, you think you can, like, help da new court thrive and stuff? Workin' with the kids, and the other folks maybe who work with em too, you can turn it into some advantage for all of us? *it wasn't a challenge, but Clarence was looking for an answer as he took another sip*
Derek Aerics (Oct 27, 2010 11:01:06 PM)
*sipping his drink amoment.* I dont play politics, i'm a person of action, i'm here for humanity, not some devils court, most of them arent for the people, then i'm not for them. Like them I have not forgotten, i'll do what I can always for other crimsons, and i'll do what I need to for the court, but i'm here for the people. *pauses* i'm willing to put things to the side for the betterment, but i'm not willing to forget.
Clarence Johnson (Oct 27, 2010 11:05:42 PM)
Yeah.. you gonna need ta put that shit to the side. *he said bobbing his head, swirling the ice again* 'Cause even though I'm wit'chu on the Crimson stuff, my boss - everyones boss in this city - is one you said you gonna hate. *he said pointedly* Shes got her way of doin' things, and I think yer not gonna like it... from what you're sayin. How you gonna serve knowin' shes gonna shit all over your parade, man?
Derek Aerics (Oct 27, 2010 11:06:46 PM)
*shrugs a little* what comes ..comes.. I'm not going to walk right into the face of my values for her, but ...she seems reasonable and I think she understands where i stand.
Clarence Johnson (Oct 27, 2010 11:07:32 PM)
So maybe... not all Eboner's are assholes? *he asked, the ghost of a smile there, dropping Perri's legion*
Derek Aerics (Oct 27, 2010 11:08:08 PM)
they all are. *knowing perri's legion* some just have enough disipline to know how far to push it.
Clarence Johnson (Oct 27, 2010 11:10:09 PM)
*Clarence gazed at Deek a few moments, then bobbed his head and took a sip* I hope yer right. *he mumbled, inhaled sharply and looked around before continuing* So whatchu wanna get outta this life? I mean... other than enjoyin' some freedom, and lookin' forward to gettin' the ball rollin' again, whatchu wanna do wit yer time? Workin' for me is gonna be work, that serves everyone else. How's it gonna help you? *he asked conversationally*
Derek Aerics (Oct 27, 2010 11:12:53 PM)
it serves me, because in the process I will do things to benefit not just us, but humanity also. *he sits back, looking at his drink, then up at clarence* no one should forsake thier own kind, thats asking to be left to the slaughter, but at the same time, I'm going to defend the sheep, I helped create humanity, i'm not about to let it be destroyed.
Clarence Johnson (Oct 27, 2010 11:14:30 PM)
Yeah, yeah I know, we all wanna be a hero and fix what's broken and play wit our toys again. *he said dismissively* I mean.. wadda ya wanna do wit yre time when yer not shovelin' shit for someone else? Look inside and tell me what Derek likes ta do. *he suggested, finishing his drink*
Derek Aerics (Oct 27, 2010 11:18:47 PM)
*furrows his brow irritated* this has nothing to do with being a hero, I run my camp and I forge, that is what I do for fun besides profit.
Clarence Johnson (Oct 27, 2010 11:24:21 PM)
*Clarence bobs his head again, is silent for a few moments then sets the empty glass down* So bein' a Guide for the court is a natural fit for ya? Or just where Perri thought you'd be able to help out? *he shrugs* Just curious, 'cause I bet the Warders'd love ta have another guy that can make the shit they need to defend the court, ya know? Or maybe the Swords 'cause, well, that's obvious. *he smirked*
Derek Aerics (Oct 27, 2010 11:26:28 PM)
*downs his drink* she actually asked me what I was comfortable with. I really had no desire to work with the warders, as hard as I fought, I have a distinct lack of skill for combat. I will make whatever the court asks of me, that Is part of my duty of course.
Clarence Johnson (Oct 27, 2010 11:27:44 PM)
Yer all about duty arent'cha? *he quipped, gazing at Derek*
Derek Aerics (Oct 27, 2010 11:32:08 PM)
*lets out a breath, looking at clarence.* i have my love of humanity, i have my duty to the court, its a balancing act.

Clarence Johnson (Oct 27, 2010 11:37:22 PM)
*He shakes his head* Naw man, what I'm gettin at is... where's the fun? I mean, we've been let back onto the playground again and can kinda pick up where we left off. There's some new shit to see and learn, but once upon a time it was all fun - not just duty, know what I'm sayin? If we're gonna be around people alot, I woulda thought you'd have a few more answers like... yeah, I wanna learn that crazy shit they call bungee jumpin', or... I wanna bust outta the mold Derek is in and start my own family, or.... hell I dunno, somethin' other than duty and humanity. *he finishes in a mock tone* Like me man. I got all kinda shit goin' in music - its what I did back then, and what I'm doin' now only the songs are different and the cats singin' it are different. But damn... its awesome helpin' these kids get good at it, so maybe we take it further and help out the court and shit, ya know? Thats the kinda answer Im lookin for - not... *he gestures to Derek* ... general shit about duty and servin.
Derek Aerics (Oct 27, 2010 11:38:55 PM)
*he just starts to laugh* aah my friend. *looking back at clarence with a smirk* expand yourself, and realize, fun is what you make it, one persons fun is another work or displeasure, but as long as it's fun to that one person, then they're good.
Derek Aerics (Oct 27, 2010 11:40:57 PM)
though starting a family, isnt a bad idea.
Clarence Johnson (Oct 27, 2010 11:43:15 PM)
Fuck me, he smiles. *Clarence mumbled, smiling himself* Well ok I give ya dat, but damn... we gonna be around some real characters ya know, if you workin' for me. Startin' a family's good shit - it'll help ya blend in with everyone, and who knows? Maybe more fun outta that too. *he grins and winks* As long as I know yer not Robbie Robot and shit, just sayin' 'duty and servin' all the time, then I think we're cool. Anyone under me who says he aint got personal shit he wants ta work out, is lyin - and I know lyin. *he said with a knowing smirk* Just come out wit it and tell me what you wanna do, and man Im behind ya so long as we aren't doin' stupid shit, feel me?
Derek Aerics (Oct 27, 2010 11:44:20 PM)
*he nods* I understand. *he pauses* i like watching the smiling faces of the kids when they make something with thier own two hands that they planned out, you can see the sense of accomplishment on thier faces, its... amazing.
Derek Aerics (Oct 27, 2010 11:45:00 PM)
you can see they feel empowered and when they go back home to the city, they realize why doing right makes a difference, its good stuff... it really is
Clarence Johnson (Oct 27, 2010 11:47:23 PM)
You gonna be comfortable with the other shit in this city? The kids that dont wanna be saved? *he asked seriously* We gonna have kids, cops, crooks, and Court ta deal with and none of its gonna be pretty. *he took a serious tone* Whatchu got's gonna make some of it look good, ya know? But Im bettin' ya, some of them kids you seen, I also seen turned out... before AND after ya give em a hug and tell em they doin' good. You gonna be cool wit dat? 'Cause we gonna need all of em ta do what we gotta do.
Derek Aerics (Oct 27, 2010 11:48:36 PM)
*looks over at clarence curiously* what is it.. exactly we gotta do?

Clarence Johnson (Oct 27, 2010 11:54:35 PM)
*A smirk that promises discomfort forms as Clarence slowly sits forward, resting both arms on the table.* We're da Guides man. *he said as if that meant everything* Our job's ta keep our fingers in a lotta pies, out here... *he gestures to the street* ... where we don't know shit. Comin' back, you can see all around ya - this ain't the shit we set up all them years ago, is it? As Guides, we gotta be everywhere in this city, all the time, ta do whatever the Court needs us to do. Get whatever we gotta get. Learn whatever we gotta learn. And silence whomever we gotta silence. Ya feel me? Everyone else is gonna look ta us to answer that burnin' question - 'Just why the fuck is everyone goin' back to church all of a sudden?' Or somethin' like 'Hey, think you can get the mayor ta swing some cash our way for another mall?' Or some other shit job that humans'll have ta do for us because they can. Ya dig?
Derek Aerics (Oct 27, 2010 11:56:34 PM)
*he nods, mulling it over in his head* i see, go to guys with the mortals.
