Sergei Alenikov (Jun 15, 2011 9:36:44 AM)
*He steps inside, lingering a moment...looking around then slipping his dress shoes off on the side.*

Lina Devereaux (Jun 15, 2011 9:38:46 AM)
*leans down just outside the door to remove her sandals, only stepping in once they're gone*

Isabella Perez (Jun 15, 2011 9:41:05 AM)
Taking a moment to disappear into the kitchen before she returns with three bottles of water, passing one to each of her guests and keeping one for herself. Then, gesturing to the couch and loveseat, she sinks down in the over-stuffed chair that completes the set of pale-blue suede, tucking her feet up underneath her and fidgeting with her skirt for a moment to make sure she is not flashing anything.

Lina Devereaux (Jun 15, 2011 9:41:35 AM)
*just..stays by the door, standing..now with a bottle of water*

Sergei Alenikov (Jun 15, 2011 9:44:01 AM)
*Sergei accepts the water, smiling oddly then Turning to Lina* You're not going to come in?

Lina Devereaux (Jun 15, 2011 9:47:22 AM)
*is inside the door*

Lina Devereaux (Jun 15, 2011 9:47:47 AM)
How much further in do I need to walk? *faintly wry, looking between the two Elohim*

Isabella Perez (Jun 15, 2011 9:48:30 AM)
Sighing softly, she sets her water down on the table, then looks over at Lina. "My dear, you act as if we are going to do horrible and unspeakable things to your person. I promise you, that is not the case. Now, will you please take a seat so we can talk like civilized people?"

Lina Devereaux (Jun 15, 2011 9:49:54 AM)
*she walks over to the sofa and sits down on the end to keep everyone happy* I act like it, cuz you can, sugah. This ain't my house, and all I've seen of the two of you was in the heat of battle out at the cultists' place. You wanted to ask questions, I'm answerin. I been as polite as I can.

Sergei Alenikov (Jun 15, 2011 9:52:01 AM)
There is no reason to fear us...me especially...*he says looking at his bottle of water.*

Isabella Perez (Jun 15, 2011 9:52:59 AM)
She nods slightly. "You are correct. However, you have already stated that you have a protector. Being that you know some of our words and ways, I am also going to assume that it is one of us. That being said, it would be highly rude and offensive to harm someone else's... property, for want of a better term. For this night, this conversation, you are safe any time you come into my home." She turns to Sergei, a brow quirked faintly at his comment, but she does not respond to it before turning back to Lina. "Do you have the box with you?"

Lina Devereaux (Jun 15, 2011 9:58:15 AM)
Box is a little bulky, but I brought the sphere. I was going to let Darius listen to the music at the club, since it was a live band.

Lina Devereaux (Jun 15, 2011 9:58:21 AM)
I thought he might enjoy that.

Lina Devereaux (Jun 15, 2011 9:58:39 AM)
*also seems lost at Sergei's comment*

Isabella Perez (Jun 15, 2011 9:59:04 AM)
She nods slowly. "May I see it? I mean, if it is alright with your Darius."

Lina Devereaux (Jun 15, 2011 10:00:14 AM)
*dropping her hand into the satchel* Darius, a member of your House would like to speak with you.

Lina Devereaux (Jun 15, 2011 10:00:59 AM)
*she produces the smooth silver sphere, about the size of a pool cue ball, offering it to Isabella* Please return it to me, I have promises to keep to those within.

Isabella Perez (Jun 15, 2011 10:01:47 AM)
She wipes her hands off on her skirt before unfolding herself and holding her hand out to cradle the globe gently, turning it over slowly.

Darius (Jun 15, 2011 10:02:22 AM)
*The silver sphere in Lina's hand is a work of asetic art. There are no seams or markings on it's surface anywhere to marr it's beauty. A muted jingling comes from the pool ball sized silver sphere. The jingle slowly rises into a choir of voices till only one can be heard, a voice of melody and beauty above all others.* I am An'Dariou of the Seventh House, keeper of the departed. It is good to hear your voices again my brothers and sisters, you have been greatly missed in your absence.

Darius (Jun 15, 2011 10:03:00 AM)
((legacy roll is difficulty 8))

Isabella Perez (Jun 15, 2011 10:03:31 AM)
06/15/11 14:03:11 Isabella Perez rolls 4 dice vs. diff of 8 to int + leg: 5, 9, 4, 10 ,W: 3 successes

Isabella Perez (Jun 15, 2011 10:07:29 AM)
Her face pales at the voice and her other hand comes up to cradle the sphere. "An'Dariou... It is truly a blessing to hear your voice. Do you remember me?"

Lina Devereaux (Jun 15, 2011 10:09:44 AM)
*Lina lowers her head somewhat, feeling a bit as if she were intruding on a family reunion.*

Darius (Jun 15, 2011 10:11:09 AM)
*The sphere jingles a little.* I do remember you my dear sister Kalika of Nergal as well as my dear brother Locaeris of Namtar. Please, give all thanks to Lina Devereaux, for her company has made this state easier to endure.

Sergei Alenikov (Jun 15, 2011 10:11:55 AM)
There is no real reason to remain if you know how to free yourself.

Lina Devereaux (Jun 15, 2011 10:12:16 AM)
*blinks at the second name given, looking to Sergei with surprise. Though she blushes and looks down again at Darius' praise for her*

Sergei Alenikov (Jun 15, 2011 10:12:53 AM)
(06/15/11 14:12:24 Sergei Alenikov rolls 9 dice vs. diff of 8 to legacy: 2, 8, 3, 5, 10, 9, 9, 10, 9 : 6 successes ) *He chuckles looking to Lina* I told you...

Lina Devereaux (Jun 15, 2011 10:14:04 AM)
I can't believe you didn't tell me. *muttered with a glance at Sergei above a crooked smile*

Sergei Alenikov (Jun 15, 2011 10:14:14 AM)
I told no one...

Lina Devereaux (Jun 15, 2011 10:15:03 AM)
I was told not to call for you after I found out what happened. I did worry though. Glad that was for nothing.

Isabella Perez (Jun 15, 2011 10:15:18 AM)
She lifts eyes glistening with tears and smiles at Lina. "Dear girl, you have given us a gift of infinate worth. For this, I will not only owe you a boon, but that is also extended to your protector." Looking over at Sergei at the celestial name, her eyes narrow faintly. "We will discuss this later." Turning back to the sphere in her hands, she pushes all other thought out of her mind. "An'Daruis... how did you manage to get trapped in this?"

Sergei Alenikov (Jun 15, 2011 10:15:18 AM)
I had a plan..that did not work out how i wanted...Not to call for me?

Darius (Jun 15, 2011 10:16:56 AM)
As Lina Devereaux explained. There is an annakui (sp) who is trapping the souls of the dead into these spheres. I tried to stop him and failed, as punishment he bound me in here. It has turned into a blessing as it lets me sooth the souls of those bound in here.

Lina Devereaux (Jun 15, 2011 10:16:57 AM)
*her cheeks color at Isabella's offer, looking back down* Thank you, lady. *glancing sidelong to Sergei and nodding once to confirm what she said*

Isabella Perez (Jun 15, 2011 10:17:59 AM)
"Do you know anything about this creature that is abusing his gifts thusly? A name, a face, anything?"

Sergei Alenikov (Jun 15, 2011 10:18:32 AM)
Ahhh...so another peice of a puzzle falls into my lap...*his eyes sharpen slightly, a strange coldness creeping into them. He falls silent once again.*

Darius (Jun 15, 2011 10:20:15 AM)
Lina Devereaux has his face, other then that, I am afraid I cannot be of much use there. It happend so fast, I was tracking a lead into the 9th Ward and then suddenly I was floating free, then bound into this sphere.

Isabella Perez (Jun 15, 2011 10:21:03 AM)
She starts to nod slowly, then stops, her eyes curious. "Can you even see out from inside there?"

Darius (Jun 15, 2011 10:21:55 AM)
What we see is a world created by our wants and desires in here. It is like being inside a world in a snow globe at times.

Isabella Perez (Jun 15, 2011 10:23:44 AM)
She smiles faintly, then sobers. "Do you know anything that might help us release you and those trapped with you? Are there any more like this prison?"

Darius (Jun 15, 2011 10:25:40 AM)
I do not know how to break it, but the annaunki said that this repository was but one of many. I think he intends to make many more as well, imprisoning the souls of the living and the dead for his own devices.

Lina Devereaux (Jun 15, 2011 10:25:44 AM)
*she reaches over to close her small hand over Sergei's lightly* I don't know why my offer was refused, but you know now that I worried for you. I am glad you are well. *smiling softly*

Sergei Alenikov (Jun 15, 2011 10:27:11 AM)
Perhaps...but you claim only enforces what i already suspected...depending on time...so what is he using the trapped souls for or do you know? *he says looking from Lina to the Sphere.*

Lina Devereaux (Jun 15, 2011 10:29:17 AM)
*she withdraws her hand and looks back to Isabella and Darius*

Isabella Perez (Jun 15, 2011 10:29:22 AM)
She sighs and nods slowly, gently turning the sphere over in her hands before she stops, flushing faintly. Peering close to the sphere, she lifts it up to her eye level and starts to speak to it in her native tongue, her expression intense.

Darius (Jun 15, 2011 10:30:50 AM)
We can only guess at it Brother Locaeris. *A wave of solomn shame washes over the room.* It is my regret that I do not know.

Isabella Perez (Jun 15, 2011 10:31:38 AM)
She turns to Lina, still cradling the globe. "Earlier, you spoke of promises made to those trapped inside."

Sergei Alenikov (Jun 15, 2011 10:32:24 AM)
*Sergei continues to look "unhappy" but remains silent as he contineus to sit where he chose to.*

Lina Devereaux (Jun 15, 2011 10:33:01 AM)
*she confirms Isabella's words with a nod*

Isabella Perez (Jun 15, 2011 10:37:25 AM)
"And you intend on keeping those promises, I assume." Sighing with deep regret, she passes the globe back over to the other girl. "I do not know what it is that I can do to help free you, but I will do everything in my power to find the one responsible and make sure he does not continue his collection."

Sergei Alenikov (Jun 15, 2011 10:39:33 AM)
*Sergei, remains silent looking between them* In theory i know one of that house that may help...but...he is...odd...

Isabella Perez (Jun 15, 2011 10:39:51 AM)
She turns to look over at him. "Who?"

Sergei Alenikov (Jun 15, 2011 10:40:34 AM)
*He watches her,* One I have a bit of sway over...

Lina Devereaux (Jun 15, 2011 10:41:02 AM)
*she accepts the orb, keeping it in her hands so that Darius can see and hear what is being discussed, since it concerns him*

Isabella Perez (Jun 15, 2011 10:43:04 AM)
A brow quirks faintly before a sardonic chuckle escapes her mouth. "Still as overly cautious as ever, Locaris... At least some things do not change..."

Sergei Alenikov (Jun 15, 2011 10:43:43 AM)
One has to be cautious...when one is unsure about the company he keeps...*he smiles if a touch coldly.*

Isabella Perez (Jun 15, 2011 10:45:14 AM)
Inclining her head, she keeps her eyes on him. "Yes, but if we cannot even trust those of our own house, who can we trust? However, far be it from me to attempt to change your mind or inform you of how hearts broke when we thought you were lost to us...."

Lina Devereaux (Jun 15, 2011 10:45:16 AM)
*and at the request from the angel within it, she lowers the orb into the satchel she'd carried*

Darius (Jun 15, 2011 10:45:18 AM)
((okay I'm out. Any questions about the SL can go to my FPMs.))

Lina Devereaux (Jun 15, 2011 10:45:25 AM)
((Thanks!))

Isabella Perez (Jun 15, 2011 10:45:32 AM)
((Thanks, Ogre!))

Darius (Jun 15, 2011 10:45:36 AM)
(This user has left DigiChat) (IP = 71.55.169.141)

Sergei Alenikov (Jun 15, 2011 10:46:00 AM)
I have heard tales of the few minutes your hearts were broken...so do not try to preach to me...sister...

Isabella Perez (Jun 15, 2011 10:47:54 AM)
"So because I did not fall to my knees, weeping and screaming with my grief and making an utter fool of myself, I did not mourn your loss?" Her smile turns faintly condescending. "We both know that our kind does not mourn that obviously."

Sergei Alenikov (Jun 15, 2011 10:48:43 AM)
I heard from London how I was mourned...Lina, Was it Violet who told you not to call to me or was it her consort? *he says turning to her.*

Isabella Perez (Jun 15, 2011 10:51:05 AM)
She turns to Lina, her expression curious. "I do not know what happened after the funeral for your last host, but Violetta wept for you. The whole sky wept for you. The masses of ignorant monkeys who disrupted the funeral besides, we all worried about you. Why would anyone not wish for you to be contacted?"

Sergei Alenikov (Jun 15, 2011 10:51:30 AM)
That is what i'd like to know...

Lina Devereaux (Jun 15, 2011 10:53:15 AM)
I don't know. *she answered candidly* I don't know who Amos was speaking with regarding my offer.

Sergei Alenikov (Jun 15, 2011 10:53:32 AM)
I saw your tears...I saw the sky and the funeral...i even saw an old friend...My plan did not work how i wished it to...I had planned to try to gather those desparate number who left the fold and try to bring them back...but i could not find them...and none of them would see me...*he frowns.*

Sergei Alenikov (Jun 15, 2011 10:55:57 AM)
I am greater then I was...and as such I must know whom i can trust. London discovered in a time of need...and just as swiftly told Violet...so the conclusions there are obvious. As for...Violet she has once again left a gaping wound...but it will not happen again...*he says as he continues to look at the bottle of water.*

Isabella Perez (Jun 15, 2011 10:58:07 AM)
She shakes her head, clearing it of the rest of her thoughts. "It does not matter now, for you have returned to us. I remember the conversation we had in this very room, about our respective wishes and plans and hopes and dreams. Should you wish to continue with those, you now know how to find me again. Unlike the others, I care very little, if any, about the Courts. I do not want to be recognized for good deeds. I do not wish for others of my kind to look at me with awe, or terror, or anything of the such." She turns to Lina, as if remembering she was still there, and stills her words, changing course. "London and Violetta are very good friends, and Violetta was clearly distraught at the thought of you being lost to us. It makes sense that, if London knew anything of your whereabouts, she would share it. She did the same for me when she told me of information she had learned about Zarcarias."

Sergei Alenikov (Jun 15, 2011 11:00:59 AM)
How would that make sense? London told me Violet wept at the funeral and moved on just as swiftly, house aside...there would have been no reason to share my whereabouts with her...*he takes a deep breath releasing it slowly* I am not sure what i plan to do not entirely...Though i have begun to move forward with part of my plan.

Lina Devereaux (Jun 15, 2011 11:03:03 AM)
Perhaps.. *offering quietly as she's remembered* You two would prefer some privacy?

Isabella Perez (Jun 15, 2011 11:03:34 AM)
She nods slowly, then lifts her eyes to the small silver mini grandfather clock sitting on the mantel of her fireplace as it chimes the hour. "As much as I hate to cut this conversation short, it is growing late and I must be to bed." She smiles faintly at him. "I am, however, glad to see you have recovered from your injuries sustained at the battle. I was curious as to why you were not assisted then, but it was not the time or the place to make such questions."

Lina Devereaux (Jun 15, 2011 11:04:32 AM)
*rising to her feet and nodding politely to Isabella* Thank you for your hospitality, Isabella. *moving to the door to walk home, since she was brought here by the Elohim to answer their questions..and clearly they're through with her*

Sergei Alenikov (Jun 15, 2011 11:05:09 AM)
I was curious about that was well...I have died for her three times sister, thrice..*he turns to Lina* Do you wish a ride home? I can escort you to my car and then drive you home...no need to walk that distance if you don't wish to.

Isabella Perez (Jun 15, 2011 11:05:25 AM)
"Lina, just a moment..." She goes over to one of the closed doors and knows quietly, peeking her head inside and speaking softly in spanish before returning to the main room. "Let me at least offer you a ride home."

Lina Devereaux (Jun 15, 2011 11:08:43 AM)
*a slight smile at the offers* I would appreciate that, thank you. *looking between the two and then commenting* Isabella, you are already home, and have stated your intent to sleep. If ..Sergei, doesn't mind, I would accept his offer and spare you the second trip out.

Isabella Perez (Jun 15, 2011 11:10:00 AM)
She smiles faintly. "Mateo was awake. I asked him if he would be alright with taking you, and he said he would." She turns to Sergie. "He could drive you back to your vehicle as well, if you wish. These streets do not appear to be as safe as they once were, and I would not want something to happen to our friend." She gestures to the bag on Lina's shoulder.

Sergei Alenikov (Jun 15, 2011 11:10:47 AM)
Ahh very well then, I shall...escort them both then...*he chuckles if a bit oddly*

Lina Devereaux (Jun 15, 2011 11:12:35 AM)
*she smiles her thanks and simply waits to follow the two men out to whatever car they're going to*

Isabella Perez (Jun 15, 2011 11:12:57 AM)
She nods and knocks on the door behind her, two sharp raps. A moment later, a tall latino man, clad in a pair of jeans and a simple teeshirt, walks out. He looks to Isabella, then to the other two. Nodding with a small smile, he turns to gather the keys off the table just inside the front door. Taking a moment to slide his feet into a pair of shoes, he stands there, patiently.

Isabella Perez (Jun 15, 2011 11:13:46 AM)
((guys, sorry to cut this short, but i need to get going... i'm starting to get a headache and still have errands to run around town... i'll be back later, ok?))

Sergei Alenikov (Jun 15, 2011 11:13:51 AM)
*Sergei would follow him out to a vehicle so as to make their way to their destinations* ((i gots to go to bed...before I pass out, lol))

Lina Devereaux (Jun 15, 2011 11:14:24 AM)
((Night you two!))

Sergei Alenikov (Jun 15, 2011 11:14:29 AM)
