The clicking sound came first, as something seem to shift from a dark corner, and through the dim lighitng, maggie could see it. It had hands alirght, many of them, pulling itself along, as it came up, and then slipped in a bit closer, a multide of eyes and flesh looking at her. Its head tilting back and forth till the mouth moved, showing almost like manidbles, opening before the sounds at first were pitched to screech at her ear and then slowly start resonate as the voice came to sound like english but like 4 people were speaking at once, "Who.. you?"
Maggie-Mae Sage (May 13, 2011 12:09:32 AM)
Maggie-Mae Sage, daughter of Amber Lynn Sage a witch that worked closely with the spirits around the Delta for many years.
Maggie-Mae Sage (May 13, 2011 12:09:48 AM)
I'm a witch like her, I'd come here to learn to be like my mother.
Maggie-Mae Sage (May 13, 2011 12:11:31 AM)
(very cool btw. My posts will get bigger, but she's in reaction mode atm)
Shadowy Spirits (May 13, 2011 12:12:25 AM)
It clicked again as it came a bit closer and lifted up, the feeling of almost like a breath as it chuckled and chortled a bit like a gasping then slipped back a bit, "Not.. Amber.. Many more.. has passed.. Not right.. or ready.. Foolish young one.." It seemed to scramble a bit, slipping around as the limbs poped and crackled a bit in every way as it moved a hand sliding over her and then looked up and chorttled again, "unwise girl.. "
Maggie-Mae Sage (May 13, 2011 12:14:34 AM)
*Nods in agreement, but Maggie didn't seem afraid. She'd heard so many stories and had seen so many spirits through other means. It was like looking at a Tornado for Maggie. She was awestruck at the physicality of the spirits, of this way of being around them. There was too much facination to be scared*
Maggie-Mae Sage (May 13, 2011 12:16:12 AM)
*Then she musted the courage and curiosity through the pain and wonder* who are you?
Maggie-Mae Sage (May 13, 2011 12:16:28 AM)
(mustered)
Shadowy Spirits (May 13, 2011 12:16:36 AM)
It tilted its head, "Little one.. will die.. because of unwise woman.. and amber.. she earned.. her right.. to be here.. you.. have not.. you speak of name.. but show nothing of her smart" It chorttled again as it moved back around again, feeling along the walls, It even had a efw eyes about some as it seemed to move, "Know better.. then give someting.. of human to human.."
Maggie-Mae Sage (May 13, 2011 12:18:18 AM)
Kill me or let me go then... I have work do so, and I do not have time to be chastied and scolded by a Gaffling.
Maggie-Mae Sage (May 13, 2011 12:18:54 AM)
)to do
Shadowy Spirits (May 13, 2011 12:19:24 AM)
It chortled a bit again and tilted head then shook a bit, "not talking about you.. about little one you bring with.. it will die.. unless.. I choose to.. you make deal.. and I save it.. " It moved a little moving back some as it looked around, "we are not.. in delt area.. we are deeper.. now"
Maggie-Mae Sage (May 13, 2011 12:24:05 AM)
*She looked away and it would be possibly obviously that she wasen't sure she wanted to make such a deal* They are hunting us down too fast, and with the way the witches of New Orleans can't get along... it wont be long before death takes most of us, solidifying their control. I've begun to foster incrediable doubts about brining a child into the world where the child and its mother would be targets for death at any moment.
Shadowy Spirits (May 13, 2011 12:25:57 AM)
Its body moved along and chortled a bit as it moved and settled up on the wall, the head tilting, as the warm liquid still dripped on her, but the smell of it was starting to become familiar, almost like it was coppery and irony, "Then will make different deal.. you want to go back.. you'll need this ones help"
Maggie-Mae Sage (May 13, 2011 12:30:27 AM)
*She looked up to find the source of what her might just assumed might be blood*
Shadowy Spirits (May 13, 2011 12:32:33 AM)
It wasn't blood, but was an ichor, black and warm, almost but what it was dripping from wasn't human either. It looked like a rotted corsped, bloateand the ichor had been there for a while. The spirit Chortled and snapped the mandibles, "have to suprsed.. scent.. can't have it finding you here"
Maggie-Mae Sage (May 13, 2011 12:34:26 AM)
There are many it's... and I came for answers. Would you help me? I need to know what I can do to help win back our city, some way to at least effectivly form some sort of resistance, rather than just sitting around and fucking hiding.
Shadowy Spirits (May 13, 2011 12:36:00 AM)
It chortled again and stepped around, "That is human world concern.. not this ones concern.. this is place for this one.. not for that side, if young one will make deal.. then will see what can do.. "
Maggie-Mae Sage (May 13, 2011 12:36:34 AM)
Whats the deal?
Shadowy Spirits (May 13, 2011 12:40:12 AM)
It chortled, "Wants through.. wants place.. wants power.. you help in these.. I help in yours.. Knows many things and secrets.. but will cost.. as said.. can help on somet things.. but on other thigns.. yes.. Spirit concerns.. can do.. not human concerns.. you come asking for human concerns.. then I can't answer
Maggie-Mae Sage (May 13, 2011 12:42:28 AM)
What about Node Sire (something she'd heard her mother call favored spirits) have you any knowledge of any of these pools of energy... we know some are being diverted, and stolen, but there isn't another smaller tass pool somewhere around the Delta Bayou? Or is this another physical question you can't do?
Shadowy Spirits (May 13, 2011 12:46:18 AM)
It Chortled and lifted its head, the laughter almost sounding inhumane before it moved back aroudn scuttling and folding up starting to take on another form, something more resembling of a humanoid shap, the only issue is that the face was smoothed voer, and the mandibles were still there, it stood there drapped in robes and chuckled, as the voices took on male and female qualities, "You seak power, places of power, yes.. can help you find them.. but they may.. be taken, you not want the ones in the bayou.. I do this.. but your little one.. You will give to me.. "
Maggie-Mae Sage (May 13, 2011 12:48:49 AM)
Most certainly Sire, I would return favors as you wish
Shadowy Spirits (May 13, 2011 12:51:49 AM)
It chuckled and nodded as it places its hand, with 12 fingers over her stomach a searing pain and wrapping was placed upon as the skin warmed but the feeling of something was lalmost different and chuortled again, "then its time to take you from here.. when the child is born.. you will bring it to me.." He chuckled and moved his fingers, touching her forehead, "If you cross me Young Witch.. be aware.. that many.. many bad things will come to pass.."
Maggie-Mae Sage (May 13, 2011 12:53:33 AM)
Wait... No! I'm not... I didn't not agree to that. If I carry a child to term then the child is mine. This ... mass of horamons *said to make herself feel better* is only ......... Just, No.
Maggie-Mae Sage (May 13, 2011 12:53:44 AM)
Do your worst, but No!
Maggie-Mae Sage (May 13, 2011 12:54:20 AM)
(*cringes and hides behind a chair*)
Shadowy Spirits (May 13, 2011 12:56:29 AM)
It tilted its head and chuckled before it moved its hand, and looked on her, inhaling and then letting out, "oh.. young witch.. you agreed already.. if you turn away from this.. then this place will be your last.. for I'll remove the protection.. and leave you diseased and barren.. forever"
Maggie-Mae Sage (May 13, 2011 12:57:21 AM)
If you let me go of my own free will, locked with in this deal I will kill myself and the child before the end of the month
Maggie-Mae Sage (May 13, 2011 12:57:52 AM)
You've no power over someone that's at peace with death. IF you want my help then ask of me anything else
Shadowy Spirits (May 13, 2011 12:59:04 AM)
It chortled, "really.. before the end of the month.. " He smiled and moved his fingers turning to laws as he put them up against her neck, "then do it.. throw yourself on them.. end your life witch.. and then your friends.. what will they do.. who will they see helped.. If not your child.. another.. you will bring me one.. born from one of yours.. one who twists and turns the threads.. "
Maggie-Mae Sage (May 13, 2011 1:01:52 AM)
You're no friend, You are no help to me;... You are a being most vile. *She would spit on the humanoid* I've no deal for you. There is nothing that I crave enough to turn a child over to you, especially mine. I'm not going to throw myself on death... but I Will stand my ground. And you will have to simply do whatever you have to do
Shadowy Spirits (May 13, 2011 1:04:32 AM)
It chortled again, "you don't understand us.. do you.. your mother.. she paid many different things, for one of my little ones to bring you to me, well.. lets just say your life I saved.. so in that.. respect is given.. your mother.. earned her time and right to know the ways.. you should know.. we do not ask for that which comes easy.. since you want information.. I can give.. and you assume death so quickly and ville I am.. take a look in the mirror young witch.. in kansas you do not stand"
Maggie-Mae Sage (May 13, 2011 1:05:54 AM)
*She shook her head* I will do murder... I will pay the price... I just wont give you my child, or any other child
Shadowy Spirits (May 13, 2011 1:07:34 AM)
He tilted his head, "and what do you thik I will do with this child.. hmm.. kill and eat it? really, you think so little of what I am Young Witch.. you want to walk and work with us spirits.. you must understand.. we do not hold to your.. lofty ideals.. after all.. if a spirit of blood calls for blood.. then it takes blood.. if one of joy wants for joy.. it makes of it.. and takes it. It does not care what it does to get it, only that it gains it.. in this I can only say that in time things will be understood.."
Maggie-Mae Sage (May 13, 2011 1:10:06 AM)
But, I've no need for your information if I would use it to help with my main goal of destroying you, You can't have my child. This mortal is telling you No... Rename your price, or cut me loose.
Maggie-Mae Sage (May 13, 2011 1:11:31 AM)
(ugh, so there's no possibility of casting. I'm at -1 so thats only two dice to toss... even possible to Poof out of here, or when you said Stuck... damn it you meant it. hehehe)
Shadowy Spirits (May 13, 2011 1:11:37 AM)
It stayed there for a second and chuckled a bit, tapping the fingers on its chin, as if waiting, "fair.. then in that case.. you will take the life of a child.. every month that I come to you .. and give you information.. you will take them to the bayou.. and drown them.. If I can not have the chance to let a child raised and be spared to help your future.. I will take the power of the dead to fuel and gaine more..
Shadowy Spirits (May 13, 2011 1:11:55 AM)
(-2 modifier on the casting.. you can try..)
Shadowy Spirits (May 13, 2011 1:12:11 AM)
(you can Also try maybe a Manipulation + appropiate skill to try and see if it'll drop
Shadowy Spirits (May 13, 2011 1:12:56 AM)
(its price down a bit.. give me the skill and 'll tell you the diff)
Maggie-Mae Sage (May 13, 2011 1:13:05 AM)
(See I obvioulsy don't know mechanics well enough. What did you mean by Manipulation and Skill?)
Maggie-Mae Sage (May 13, 2011 1:14:00 AM)
I will Do no such thing... Your lust for the blood of children is equaled by my passion to protect them.
Shadowy Spirits (May 13, 2011 1:14:01 AM)
(well.. Manipulation (the attribute) + a skill.. (subterfuge, ettiquette, expression, intimidation) if you get some good success.. you can use them to help on your bargin)
Maggie-Mae Sage (May 13, 2011 1:14:14 AM)
(OH)
Maggie-Mae Sage (May 13, 2011 1:14:23 AM)
(I was like how does Manipulation help with Magic)
Shadowy Spirits (May 13, 2011 1:14:26 AM)
It chuckled, "oh.. but did you not say that you would kill.. Since my offer to help protect.. you took as me going to kill it..)
Maggie-Mae Sage (May 13, 2011 1:15:56 AM)
)lol I have none of those, I see nothing that can be paired up. Cosmology and Occult, but they dont count. Streetwise but no, survival, stealth
Shadowy Spirits (May 13, 2011 1:17:22 AM)
(I'll go with a survival)
Shadowy Spirits (May 13, 2011 1:17:41 AM)
(diff 9)
Maggie-Mae Sage (May 13, 2011 1:19:11 AM)
You've offered me nothing but empty promises of information. Im not going to hurt a child, or turn a child over to you. Why don't you stop trying to make this a negitive sum game where I will feel distrought and actually negociate something that will help you. I dont mind being your slave for information, I can't cause harm to children... I, I don't know that I can even carry mine.... and this is why, there is too much darkness
Maggie-Mae Sage (May 13, 2011 1:19:18 AM)
(rolling)
Maggie-Mae Sage (May 13, 2011 1:20:05 AM)
(Manipulation Survival: 2, 2, 3, 10, 3 : 1 successes)
Shadowy Spirits (May 13, 2011 1:21:02 AM)
It chortled, "ahh.. but young witch.. I will place a blessing.. so you will carry it.. but fine.. I will give way an leave.. after all.. I would let my childern upon to help.. those of your persuasion with the fights to come. These are two tings I am offering.. as well as the fact that your life has been saved by me.. so I believe.. you are in my debt for that.
Maggie-Mae Sage (May 13, 2011 1:27:26 AM)
Sire *she mumbly said like it felt shit to openly out right confess* I dont want to carry the child, I just want to help my kind. Thank you for saving me,, I will help you however you want, but please dont ask me to be around children or do anything to them
Shadowy Spirits (May 13, 2011 1:29:11 AM)
He chuckled and nodded, stepping up as he tapped his claw in the ichor and moved it down, slicing into her and slowly as something almost seem like the claw was drawing something out of her, and she could feel the cold empty feeling oof something slipping away. before he pulled it back and letting a scar slide over the skin. Flexin g its finger, "then your child's death.. is payment.. you will do what I bid when I call and I will honor this agreement.. so it is done.. so you accept.. so it will pass."
Maggie-Mae Sage (May 13, 2011 1:30:33 AM)
*She nodded*
Maggie-Mae Sage (May 13, 2011 1:30:44 AM)
*All slouchy*
Shadowy Spirits (May 13, 2011 1:32:17 AM)
It move iits fingers again, and then motioend as the shadows and what looked like little creautres, 6 limbs crawled out, each with one ee and a few came out, the fingers and hands what she saw before she passed out and nodded, "There is one.. in a house.. that is making anode.. she is preparing it for when she will be gone.. and left to your childern.. I will find the others.. and.. see to there.. freedom some.. but will take time.. as to this.. you are now marked.. by mine.. your aura.. will bear this.. for now..
Maggie-Mae Sage (May 13, 2011 1:33:52 AM)
Give me a name Sire... Any hint who is this woman
Maggie-Mae Sage (May 13, 2011 1:34:34 AM)
*She showed signs of aknowledgment for the other things it said*
Shadowy Spirits (May 13, 2011 1:35:37 AM)
It chortled again and moved its hand up, "La Laurile.. she makes the node.. her thought of.. the ends.. justifying the means.. she makes this.. after all.. She and I.. are not so different.. as you are the same as well, " It stepped back slowly as the boy started to break down, "as for now.. you will know.. I will come in your dreams.. Now follow my childern.. and leave. but do not remove the black gunk.. they will take you back.. to where you came through.."
Maggie-Mae Sage (May 13, 2011 1:37:13 AM)
Can they get me back through with out the pain? *she seemed scared for the first time*
Shadowy Spirits (May 13, 2011 1:38:46 AM)
It chuckled as the sounds began to break apart like it was when it first came, "Young witch.. you came here.. you must leave here.. prove your strength to step across " As it slipped into the wall, the shadows twisting about and another part of the wall starting to open, showing a long path away as the place looked like the bayou, only spider webs and viscious things hanging from tree to tree.
Shadowy Spirits (May 13, 2011 1:39:04 AM)
A couple of the spirits scrambling out as they made sharp pitch sounds to lead her away, if she would follow.
Maggie-Mae Sage (May 13, 2011 1:45:16 AM)
*She would stay right with them, and was quick about it even though she still hurt from before*
Shadowy Spirits (May 13, 2011 1:45:35 AM)
What seemes to be a bit of a few hours as you follow along with the creatures. You give way to slipping aorund a few parts and even getting away from other spirits, one that seems to be rather large and powerful. Lumbering through the area and snarling a bit as it moved before moving on. As you come back to the island of the tree, with the split tree in it. Leaving you there as the others stayed back to watch and make sure you stepped across.
Maggie-Mae Sage (May 13, 2011 1:48:46 AM)
(Ok so just cast like before?)
Maggie-Mae Sage (May 13, 2011 1:49:05 AM)
(or does it still work from before with just anothe roll for the storm)
Shadowy Spirits (May 13, 2011 1:50:55 AM)

Shadowy Spirits (May 13, 2011 2:07:09 AM)
For Jordan.. The call and the place.. a small island out.. with a tree that was split in the center and grown up around. Almost like the EYe of a Needle. Around the water was dark and it was cold odly for the moments, things seemed to be at simple till from the water burst up Maggie.. Sputtering as the shadows around her seemed to pull a bit, The smell of blood in the air as it was hanging thick in the water. (feel free to rp)
Jordan Malave (May 13, 2011 2:08:47 AM)
*when he saw maggie he would jump into the water... grapsing onto her tightly to try and help her up. Worried and panicked as he smelled the blood and saw her struggle*
Maggie-Mae Sage (May 13, 2011 2:13:53 AM)
*But maggie waen't really responsive. She was somewhat lucid, she looked at you, but she seemed to be throwing up blood every few moments and would have probably drowned when she came back through if Jordan hadn't been there*
Maggie-Mae Sage (May 13, 2011 2:15:07 AM)
*She couldn't stand, she hardly worked to move her head and fought with each breath like it pained her, once the vomiting blood had stopped*
Maggie-Mae Sage (May 13, 2011 2:16:01 AM)
(lol in the back of my mind I'm like someone pull out a pistol and put her out of her misery. )
Maggie-Mae Sage (May 13, 2011 2:20:11 AM)
(Ok so basicly its Jordan taking her to the Hospital. Want to call it a night here, its getting really late)
