::Where does one usually find the nerd known as Amalie? Coffee shops, her nerd cave, work...not a swamp. It was no surprise then that she seemed generally unhappy and overly cautious as she shuffled forward, for once without her laptop attached at her hip::

Sophie Willows (Sep 30, 2010 8:36:57 PM)
*Liaphon flew just above the treetops, the light generated from her passing touching the area around her while the soft beat of wings shifting around the air stirred the natural smells of the swamplands. A figure of awe inspiring beauty and grace her shifting eyes saught out the source of the call that had brought her here.*

Perri Santana (Sep 30, 2010 8:37:14 PM)
*Per had been relaxing at home when the pull came. This time, sensing the direction, she appeared out of nowhere in jeans and casual shirt, both in black.(

Aswan Kaguro (Sep 30, 2010 8:37:20 PM)
Aswan sighed, as he was pulled for the second time in as many days. This time to a swamp...not his locale. He was already regretting his usally attaire with the sandals.

Ruthless (Sep 30, 2010 8:38:16 PM)
*About an hour outside the city the dark swamps would be damp and isolated. No street lights or other signs of mankind. Though wild and untamed something about the area spoke to the fallen. Reminding them of the world as it was before their time in the pit. *

Perri Santana (Sep 30, 2010 8:39:10 PM)
We hit all the hot spots I see. *To Amalie*

Amalie Molyneux (Sep 30, 2010 8:40:29 PM)
Lets stick together then hrm?

Tokugawa Shinjo (Sep 30, 2010 8:40:40 PM)
The water rippled feintly in his passing, his long sinuous body sliding silently across the placid surface. His scales had dimmed to a dark brown color, his body partially submerged to hide his presence. He reached out to the world around him and could hear it as it called back, from mighty oaks to the slightest insects, painting a picture of the swamps for miles around in his mind. He saw the others as they approached, even though he was still quite a distance from them out in the water.

Tokugawa Shinjo (Sep 30, 2010 8:41:10 PM)
( You guys can auto awareness if you like. Somewhere out there, someone just activated a demonic evocation. )

Keara (Jade) Mercer (Sep 30, 2010 8:41:22 PM)
*she pulls up as far as her car will let her, then stepps out. frowning a little as she looks over the swamp then slowly and a little gingerly makes her way in to it and twoards the emassing crowd. Dressed in blue jaens and boots a tank top, her hair piled up and out of the way.* Cant we be called to a classy bar in the Guardin district?

Perri Santana (Sep 30, 2010 8:43:37 PM)
*She nodded* seriously. *At Sophie's words she picked up the use of power in the wind, and turned lo look out over the dark water*

Aswan Kaguro (Sep 30, 2010 8:43:53 PM)
Aswan, against his better judgemnet, headed to the smoke...not caring if anyone else followed.\

Tokugawa Shinjo (Sep 30, 2010 8:44:09 PM)
His eyes narrowed, two groups suddenly invading his territory. Filling his powerful lungs with a deep breath, he submerged completely, weaving just beneath the water's surface as he moved towards the smoke first. The others would have to wait.

Perri Santana (Sep 30, 2010 8:44:43 PM)
*She followed them as well, picking hwe way through the swamp*

Sophie Willows (Sep 30, 2010 8:45:05 PM)
*Sophie waves in the direction of the water before following the little group towards the smoke.* Anyone have any idea of what we are looking for?

Keara (Jade) Mercer (Sep 30, 2010 8:45:09 PM)
*Glancing over at the other she sighed and then started to move towards the moke, trying to not think of the mud now covering her boots*w* on the bright side dear Perri, you will have so much realisim to add to your stories.

Perri Santana (Sep 30, 2010 8:45:48 PM)
Why do you think I moved here? *She smiled a moment as they went along*

The Swamps (Sep 30, 2010 8:46:42 PM)
*As they moved towards the smoke they would see a clearing. A large bonfire in the middle and a low steady rythm of drums beggining to echo into the night.*

Keara (Jade) Mercer (Sep 30, 2010 8:47:06 PM)
*she looked up at sophie as they moved, and took a deep breath*w* well the last time we where called was last night. It didnt go well.

Perri Santana (Sep 30, 2010 8:47:40 PM)
Voodoo anyone?

Aswan Kaguro (Sep 30, 2010 8:47:55 PM)
Aswan walked toward the bonfire. He kept a little distance, and spoke, "Ok, who are you? I wanna know now...I'm not in the mood for dicking around."

Sophie Willows (Sep 30, 2010 8:48:18 PM)
*She looks over to Keara and Perri in question reaching up to hook blonde hair back behind her ear.* What -did- happen last night?

Perri Santana (Sep 30, 2010 8:48:34 PM)
We lost one of us, that's what.

Tokugawa Shinjo (Sep 30, 2010 8:48:44 PM)
His lip curled slowly. These humans, or whatever they were, had seemed to make for themselves a home. He kept his anger in check, however, his scales shifting to a deep shadowy black as his immense body rose up from the swamp into the trees. He moved slowly, from limb to limb, as he closed in on the clearing to get a better look. For the time being, he kept out of visual range of the other group.

Sophie Willows (Sep 30, 2010 8:50:00 PM)
Are we unlikely to find them again? *She watched the two women curiously for a moment before her attention was claimed by the bonfire and rhythm of drums.*

Keara (Jade) Mercer (Sep 30, 2010 8:51:14 PM)
*she flinched slightly looking up at Sophie her eyes very sad before she shook her head figuring this conversation would go better after eminant danger. Coming to a slow stop she watched the flames, her dark eyes seeming to reflect them*

Tokugawa Shinjo (Sep 30, 2010 8:51:34 PM)
He listened to the pulse of the swamp, his eyes growing larger. There were so many.... Shaking his head, he forced himself to remain calm. There were those who sought to aid the last bastions of the wild, he would not destroy them until he knew their true purpose. When Aswan stepped forward and spoke out, Shin eased out from one of the thicker branches, the full length of his body woven around the tree to support his weight.

The Swamps (Sep 30, 2010 8:51:39 PM)
*No answer would come to Aswan. The drummers seemingly lost in their rhythmic beating. Eyes glazed over slightly as they increased the tempo of the beats. Then a group of dancers would begin to move into the light of the fire. Moving slowly and catching onto the beats. Gyrating to the rythms and loosing themselves to the ritual*

Amalie Molyneux (Sep 30, 2010 8:52:39 PM)
Perhaps we should stop the ritual before it births forth another catastrophy

Sophie Willows (Sep 30, 2010 8:52:55 PM)
*Watching partly fascinated Sophie reached up to pull a branch down and away from her face.* Would you like me to put out the fires?

Perri Santana (Sep 30, 2010 8:53:27 PM)
That would certainly put a damper on things, yes. BUt we'd better be ready when it does

Aswan Kaguro (Sep 30, 2010 8:53:36 PM)
Aswan was pissed. He wanted answers, and he wanted them now, "Yes, douse the fire."

Keara (Jade) Mercer (Sep 30, 2010 8:55:33 PM)
*she took a slow step foward coming out a little ahead of the group, more to get a closer look at the ritual.* I agree. What ever else this is, its far to familear.

The Swamps (Sep 30, 2010 8:55:56 PM)
*a large man in a white robe woulddrift into the circle. He held a chiken in one hand and a daggar in the other. He chanted in a mixture of french and louisiianne. His face obscured but his words rang clear into the swamp*

Amalie Molyneux (Sep 30, 2010 8:56:17 PM)
Stoping before blood is spilled should be good. Perhaps do not spill any as well.

Keara (Jade) Mercer (Sep 30, 2010 8:56:47 PM)
(can you hit me up with the french? or a gyst of it?)

Perri Santana (Sep 30, 2010 8:57:04 PM)
Looks like I was right. Do it Sophie.

Aswan Kaguro (Sep 30, 2010 8:57:09 PM)
Aswan walked up to the robed man, and pushed him, "Where is your boss...where is she? I have a bone to pick with her!"

Sophie Willows (Sep 30, 2010 8:57:09 PM)
*Sophie turns her attention to the water of the swamp and flicks her hand the liquid raising up and onto the land to flood accross the fire and douse the light.*

*the flames went out and the robbed man spoke up loudly* What the fuck? What stupid ass motherfucker is fuckin with my shit? *Pulling the hood back to revela the face of a gruff bearded man*

Tokugawa Shinjo (Sep 30, 2010 8:59:27 PM)
He focused in on the ritualists as they bounded their primal beat and began dancing around the flame. He could feel the faith welling up from the proceedings and he opened himself to it, attempting to swallow it up and make it his. Then it came to a crashing hault as the noisy little man pushed the high priest. He hissed quietly to himself from the shadow and began to weave around the trees to their side of the clearing. If these interlopers attempted to harm the group before he could determine their worth and meaning himself, he would intervene.

Perri Santana (Sep 30, 2010 9:00:12 PM)
My, quite the wordsmith isn;t he?

Keara (Jade) Mercer (Sep 30, 2010 9:00:42 PM)
yes, I can feel the shear level of education dripping off of him. Its astounding.

Sophie Willows (Sep 30, 2010 9:00:51 PM)
*Sophies eyes sparkling she leans back against a convenient tree and watches the old man and Aswan talking.* It's entirely possible the two are old friends... or related, they -could- be related.

Aswan Kaguro (Sep 30, 2010 9:01:04 PM)

Sophie Willows (Sep 30, 2010 9:01:37 PM)
*She grins at Aswans responce speaking to Keara and Perri.* See! They could be father and son!

Perri Santana (Sep 30, 2010 9:01:38 PM)
*She smield ar Swan's outburst* I"m really beginning to like that guy. *She moved closer to him, however, in case backup was needed*

The Swamps (Sep 30, 2010 9:02:46 PM)
Who the fuck do you think you're talking to little man? *The man towered over aswan. His demeanor and bearinghaving a sudden chilling effect as to his decision to be so mouthy*

Kevin Smith (Sep 30, 2010 9:03:15 PM)
*Having felt the flare of faith from a ritual in progress and worrying that such could mean the work of those that had his name Kevin had saught a path to shorten the trip and made his way out into the swamps to have a look. Wearing his usual attire with the addition of a large coat under which the occaisional gleam of a sword hilt could be seen, brought along just in case trouble was in the air*

Tokugawa Shinjo (Sep 30, 2010 9:06:03 PM)
He smiled, a broad expression that revealed retracted fangs that seemed too big for his mouth. The ritual priest had conviction, a respectable trait. He had little care about the man's social inadequacies. He watched slowly as the scene progress, but his muscles remained taut, ready to spring him across the clearing if it became necessary.

Kevin Smith (Sep 30, 2010 9:06:14 PM)
*For his part Kevin stopped a short ways off, near enough to be seen but not interfering in any manner the actions of others. A studious gaze, watching the abilities and bearing of his fellows*

Keara (Jade) Mercer (Sep 30, 2010 9:06:17 PM)
(mind a pm steev?)

Aswan Kaguro (Sep 30, 2010 9:09:29 PM)
Aswan continued to stand his ground, his anger rising slightly. He shoved his finger in the man's chest, "I think I'm talking to a fuckign moron, that's who. Listen up Tanto...I want fuckign answers. I don't like this place, it smells like shit, or is that you?"

The Swamps (Sep 30, 2010 9:12:04 PM)
*The man simply smiled at Aswan. Taking afew steps back* Sorry friend... my mistake. Please accept my appologies. *The sneer on his lips was anything but appologetic. He seemed to know something Aswan did not*

Perri Santana (Sep 30, 2010 9:13:12 PM)
So what gives? And speak in soemting besides four letter words please.

Aswan Kaguro (Sep 30, 2010 9:13:27 PM)
"Oh no, don't you fucking move," his guard was up. He reshoved his finger in the man's chest, matching any steps the big guy made, "That's not an answer!"

Tokugawa Shinjo (Sep 30, 2010 9:14:21 PM)
The sneer caused him to coil up across several braches of the tree, instinctually preparing to strike. Powerful hands grasped one of the limbs, to help propell him if necessary. They had interupted a ritual, to what ends he couldn't know, but that meant that some of these mortals had some understanding of power. A potentialy explosive situation.

The Swamps (Sep 30, 2010 9:14:50 PM)
*the man would move his hands to push aswan from him and miss. the motion a bit awkward but his mind seemed to be on something else entirely*

Kevin Smith (Sep 30, 2010 9:16:14 PM)
*Kevins voice can be heard where he stands off a distance, the words coming out were in a language rarely uttered in milennia, the angelic language used at the dawn of time, the language by which angels spoke, enochian* -enochian- This seems a poor times for games playing stranger.

Aswan Kaguro (Sep 30, 2010 9:16:31 PM)
"Where is she? I know you know who I mean..." his tone was bold and full of persistance, "I don't wanna ask again!"

Tokugawa Shinjo (Sep 30, 2010 9:17:40 PM)
He snapped at the newest voice. Those words. That language. The golden serpentine eyes locked onto Kevin, his scales taking on a feintly crimson hue before returning to the shadowy black of his surroundings. The humans tress pass out of ignorance. What would be his excuse?

Amalie Molyneux (Sep 30, 2010 9:17:44 PM)
::stands back cautiously::

The Swamps (Sep 30, 2010 9:19:00 PM)
*suddenly aswan would feel the sharp hard force of a hammer hitting him in the chest. hs mortal eyes seeing blackness as he was knocked from his feet and thrown back. his clothes burnt and ripped to shreds as he lost consciousness for a mement. what everyone else would see was a bright flash of lightning as it struck the mrotal form of aswan. the man then truning to reply in enochian* then let us not play games... or does anyone else need a lesson in respect? You come to my lands and interrupt my rituals... if it is a fight you desire you will find me more then prepared.

Keara (Jade) Mercer (Sep 30, 2010 9:20:54 PM)
*gingerly stepping forward over the grass Keara moved up beside Aswan kneeling slightly to check him, then looked up at the man who was obviously not what he'd seemed. and the Man in qusetion. Her eyes leveling on the 'pirest?" Her eyes even her chin up little as she seemed to demand attention that he listen. * We simply wish to know what it is that we have walked in on. And though yes his actions where disrespectful, we where called here (lore of radience 3 sx. + angelic aura. Do yuo want me to roll for that?)

The Swamps (Sep 30, 2010 9:21:28 PM)
[go for it]]

The Swamps (Sep 30, 2010 9:22:24 PM)
No one summoned you... you were not invited... perhaps next time you should learn to not respond to every pull of faith in this world.

Tokugawa Shinjo (Sep 30, 2010 9:22:34 PM)
Shin sneered, his chin dropping as dagger like fangs extended. Apparently the mortal would be less useful than he had thought. These lands belonged to Zaebos. There was a blur of movement as the black figure moved out of the trees like lightning. Nearly twenty feet long, the Rabisu was an impressive creature, it's scaled slowly altering to green as he rose up behind the Priest in the grass. "You over step your bounds with claims of ownership. Did you create this place? Did you hunt it in the begining of time?" Each word leaned him down further towards the man as he loomed over him. Seemingly ignoring the others.

Perri Santana (Sep 30, 2010 9:23:45 PM)
*SHe glanced to Keara at the appearance of Shinjo*

Kevin Smith (Sep 30, 2010 9:26:44 PM)
(and back)

Keara (Jade) Mercer (Sep 30, 2010 9:27:45 PM)
*she paused and looked up and over her shoulder as the huge figure seemed to slink in to view. She held her ground how ever though more so she didnt back away from the priest. Keeping her stance between him and Swan*

The Swamps (Sep 30, 2010 9:27:53 PM)
*As shin drewclose the mans hand would snap out in his direction. The body of the mortal melting away as shinjo was grabbed by the throat before he could react* I am Cathetel! Giver of Oblivion! Taker of souls and torment of the host! Hear my words understand you tread on sacred ground belonging to me since before time! *His voice boomed and echoed throughout the swamp. the mortal followers falling to their knees to bear witness to his greatness and bow before him*

Aswan Kaguro (Sep 30, 2010 9:30:25 PM)
Aswan stirred, grabbign his chest in pain. His shirt was all but gone, and his pants weren't any better off. He sat up, slowly, to notice his sandals where no where to be found. He squinted at the being that was the man, and the giant snake in his hand, "...fu..ck...me..."

Sophie Willows (Sep 30, 2010 9:31:12 PM)
*Sophie stepped forward at that her eyes resting upon Cathetel.* It is the guardian of the gates of Eden.

Kevin Smith (Sep 30, 2010 9:31:51 PM)
*A metallic ring was heard as the form of Kevin was replaced by the full apocolyptic glory of Gorlanthis(1faith for auto apoc). His body becoming a great towering beast of iron and molten stone as he strode forward* Bold claims, though you lost the chance for words by striking out with Lore. *with that the towering behemoth came striding toward the man, violence clearly marked in his fiery eyes*

Tokugawa Shinjo (Sep 30, 2010 9:32:05 PM)
He hissed, a long black forked tongue whipping out between his fangs as one massive hand snapped up to clamp like a vice on the man's wrist. Muscles ripples across a torso structured beyond mortal comprehension. "I am Zaebos, Fangs of Abaddon, Brood Lord of the Shadow Scales. You will release me, or we will see where this contest leads..."

The Swamps (Sep 30, 2010 9:33:02 PM)
He wore the armor of one of the chosen of lucifer. Still bearing his standard even after all the eons. the large mortal was now an even bigger beast of a demon. The crushing depths of the coeans apparent on Sin's throat. The hypnotic sway of oceans visible in his armor. he would releas shinjo* A pleasure to meet you.. perhaps you shoudl calm your friends before they make a huge mistake... *he switched back into english*

Perri Santana (Sep 30, 2010 9:33:32 PM)
*her eyes narrowed as he grabbed the snake.* Let him go, Cathetel.

Kevin Smith (Sep 30, 2010 9:34:39 PM)
*A shining steel and gem studded blade was drawn as he made for the thing, his steps as inevitable as crushing doom and as unstoppable as an avalanche* (shall we?)

Sophie Willows (Sep 30, 2010 9:34:39 PM)
*She speaks softly to her companions, her gentle voice reaching out in an attempt to calm tensions.* Gently friends, he is a lord amongst us.

Tokugawa Shinjo (Sep 30, 2010 9:34:55 PM)
In response to that, before the others could indeed cause the scene to escelate any further, Zaebos' massive serpenting body slid around, coiling in a semi circle between Cathetel and the others. He turned his gaze to each of them, a warning glance as he rose back up above them. "Territories are poorly marked, so long since our inprisonment. Perhaps this is.....a misunderstanding."

Perri Santana (Sep 30, 2010 9:36:03 PM)
*She raised a hand as Kevin began to move* Perhaps but his treatment of you is not helping. Unhanding you would be a good start to easing tensions, then he can explain what's goign on here.

The Swamps (Sep 30, 2010 9:36:16 PM)
[[he already let him go perri]]

Aswan Kaguro (Sep 30, 2010 9:36:29 PM)

Keara (Jade) Mercer (Sep 30, 2010 9:36:52 PM)
*she watched the long snakes tale slither past though she stepped back slightly and offered her hand to Swan to help him up off the swampy ground, Keeping her attention on the growing and building tensions*

Tokugawa Shinjo (Sep 30, 2010 9:37:42 PM)
"And you were first to agress. I watched you interupt his work with his followers." Those golden eyes and slitted pupils locked onto Aswan, their hungry gleam too much like a beast to be comfortable.

Sophie Willows (Sep 30, 2010 9:38:12 PM)
*Sophie steps towards the armored man, her compelling voice speaking louder as she addresses him directly.* It is good to see you once more noble Cathetel, we mistook you for an enemy that has been pursuing us.

Perri Santana (Sep 30, 2010 9:38:44 PM)
Given what has been happening of late, you can understand why our kind is so tense, especially after last night.

John Lefevre (Sep 30, 2010 9:38:49 PM)
A misunderstanding then... but if you do not want to try and work your way back from the depths again I have no problem obliging... though I really would rather not. *He smiled at sophie* Let us then make peace...

Kevin Smith (Sep 30, 2010 9:38:55 PM)
*The collosal form that is Gorlanthis halted before the stranger and up and down the sword went smashing into the ground marked ritual marring it's enchantment* Strike unto one of ours and it is returned. *he stood ready to kill if killing became the way*

Keara (Jade) Mercer (Sep 30, 2010 9:39:18 PM)
*she nodded slowly* Last night there was ... an altercation. We lost one of our numbers. We are all on edge. And though some of us are more agressive. We only wish to keep things at peace.

Aswan Kaguro (Sep 30, 2010 9:39:38 PM)
Aswan stood, with Keara's help. His gaze cold and hard on the snakeman and the one that fryed him. He spoke, still aggitated, "I just wanted answers...I'm sick of being dicked around!"

Perri Santana (Sep 30, 2010 9:41:47 PM)
*She watched Aswan stand and satisfied he was in one piece she looked back to Cathetel* I am Surya, of the last house. I'll spare you all the titles for now.

Tokugawa Shinjo (Sep 30, 2010 9:42:02 PM)
The fiend passified, he looked away. Scales shifted across each other like steel plates as his body drew away, extricating itself from being between Cathetel and the others now that the most volitile signs of agression had ceased. He slid backwards, body coiling beneath him until he was able to rest his hands along the ridges of his spine. His gaze had returned to Cathetel, however, eyes narrowing as the memories came back to him.

Sophie Willows (Sep 30, 2010 9:43:48 PM)
*The blonde hair becoming red and falling down her back to her waist, large white wings grew from her back as Sophie once more took her true form as that living banner of the Crimson Legion introducing herself properly now that tensions had abated.* I am Liaphon.

Kevin Smith (Sep 30, 2010 9:45:13 PM)
*Those fiery embers looked upon this once lord with all the care of a butcher for a slab of meat* Strike one of them again and my sufferance of you will end. with that the sword returned to the sheath as he stepped back never giving the newcomer his back til coming to a stop, watching over the others regardless of there feelings to him*

John Lefevre (Sep 30, 2010 9:45:30 PM)
*he would shift back to his mortal self. Becoming mortal again perhaps as a sign of trust and respect. then bowing slightly to liaphon* It is an honor to know you have joined us here... maybe there is hope afterall.

Kevin Smith (Sep 30, 2010 9:46:35 PM)
(toss a * after end lol)

Perri Santana (Sep 30, 2010 9:46:35 PM)
And how are you known in this form?

Sophie Willows (Sep 30, 2010 9:46:52 PM)
There is always hope. *Her voice sounded choral and she smiled, The Banner of Hope drifting back towards the tree that had caught her attention before unconsciously moving nearer to the water.* There is one however who is bound to this earth and seeks to rule us. They threaten us in many ways and my friends would like to ask you some quetions if you do not object Noble Cathetel.

Tokugawa Shinjo (Sep 30, 2010 9:48:02 PM)
His fangs began to retract, but his serpentine form continued to writhe amongst itself anxiously. While he had stepped in to hault the violence, it was only a step to garner information. The memories having returned to him, he once again questioned this beings right to lay claim to these swamps, and the fact was clear in the shimmering golden eyes.

John Lefevre (Sep 30, 2010 9:49:12 PM)
John.... lets break bread. Y'all can feel free to join the ritual as it restarts. Take in what is offered as a welcome to the city. While you're here you will be protected and under my guard... move outside the clearing and the islands boundries and you're on your own though. We all cool?

Aswan Kaguro (Sep 30, 2010 9:49:52 PM)
Aswan sat down, of his own accord this time. He shook his head, "I swear, if the Y'ha-nthlei show up, I'm never leaving my apartment again."

Perri Santana (Sep 30, 2010 9:50:18 PM)
*She smiled and offered her hand* Perri Santana, in this form.

Kevin Smith (Sep 30, 2010 9:51:03 PM)
*shook his head* You all are much to quick to trust. May luck favor you that this one doesn't lead you to your death. *with that the hulking creature of iron and molten rock turned and began to leave*

John Lefevre (Sep 30, 2010 9:51:17 PM)
*He would take her hand and shake it* pleasure dear... now lets get this shit goin' I aint got all night.

Tokugawa Shinjo (Sep 30, 2010 9:51:24 PM)
"You are far from Eden, Lord Cathetel", the honorific was added with a distasteful hiss. "Yet you claim a bastion of my house's birthright. It is not of their concern, but we will discuss these facts later." He ended with a tone that left little to be argued, but much of the tension in his massive form seemed to ease.

Keara (Jade) Mercer (Sep 30, 2010 9:51:55 PM)
*Her dark eyes flickered over to Shinjo for a long moment before she looked back towards the otheres nodding faintly though she stayed fully in her mortal shell. Brushing a strand of hair behind her ear. Stepping up she nodded. * I am Asahel, though like this they call me Keara Mercer. *Extending her hand towards Jon*

John Lefevre (Sep 30, 2010 9:52:50 PM)
*He would shake her hand as well. The mortal servants moving quickly to repair the damage Kevin had done to the circle... getting things back on order and trying to ready the ritual again*

Sophie Willows (Sep 30, 2010 9:53:07 PM)
*She steps back and into the water behind her as the others begin introducing themselves, the wings behind her fluterring and painting patterns upon it's surface for a moment before with a smile she simply dissapears.*

Sophie Willows (Sep 30, 2010 9:53:22 PM)
(Sorry guys kids are making this completely impossible. I must run for an hour or two!)

Those large golden eyes returned Keara's glance, the fierceness she saw there unnerving at best. He seemed to look at the others like a python looked at a hare, just before crushing it of life and devouring it.

Perri Santana (Sep 30, 2010 9:55:04 PM)
*She watched as the ritual preparations began once more, slowly fading back to watch from the shadows*

Perri Santana (Sep 30, 2010 9:55:26 PM)

*stepping back then around the group she glanced over at Swan and his burnt clothing shaking her head. stopping as she squatted down next to him. eyes going over his injuries* Maybe staying home for a couple days would be a good idea.

(are we staying ic?)

Tokugawa Shinjo (Sep 30, 2010 10:10:18 PM)
( I'm down, if you like. Can't speak for the others though )

Tokugawa Shinjo (Sep 30, 2010 10:11:51 PM)
During the ritual, Shin had finally seemed to calm himself. His torso, exquisite in it's perfection of function, sprawled out across the length of one of his coils, basking in the faith offered by the human attendants. He remained still, like a serpent in the sun, even as the others made to leave, the clearing quickly emptying out until only a few remained behind.

Keara (Jade) Mercer (Sep 30, 2010 10:12:28 PM)
*looking up she begins to notice that the others had quietly filed off. it was dark and she was still in the middle of the swamp, which in all reality was not the general hang out for Keara. Gathering what few things shed brought with her she started to stand. Brshing her thick dark hair over her shoulder. Refusing to think about her pore boots*

Aswan Kaguro (Sep 30, 2010 10:15:48 PM)
Aswan layed on his back, the shreds his shirt soakign in the mud. He stared at the stars, saddened and longing for his old life.

Tokugawa Shinjo (Sep 30, 2010 10:17:05 PM)
He rose up slightly, crossing his arms across the ridge of his spine beneath him. White hair like brushed spider silk fell to frame gracefully curved ivory horns on his brow, a direct contrast to the golden clasps and chains that adorned his body. His golden eyes flickered momentarily towards Aswan and a gleam of amusement entered them before looking back to Keara. A brow rose, a curious sight that caused the tiny chains about his horns to sway. "There are many of us here. Many of you...."

Keara (Jade) Mercer (Sep 30, 2010 10:19:00 PM)
*She looked over at Swan and nibbled her bottom lip for a moment then pulled her gaze back to Shinjo, giving him a very faint nod * there are many. Most were not even here tonight.

Tokugawa Shinjo (Sep 30, 2010 10:21:13 PM)
He nodded slightly, the motions sending all the tiny chains in motion over his brow. His hands pushed down against his spine as his torso rose, powerful muscles honed by the Hunt rippling beneath his faded green flesh. He still wore the colors of the night time clearing, making it difficult to tell where the grass stopped and his scaley body began. "I assume one of you has decided they are important enough to claim a throne?"

Aswan Kaguro (Sep 30, 2010 10:22:59 PM)
Aswan listened tot he others, but didn't speak. He slid his arms under his head as he continued to stare at the night sky. His chest hurt a bit, and his pride even more.

Keara (Jade) Mercer (Sep 30, 2010 10:23:33 PM)
*she shrugged softly and waked over to swan, once more squatting down beside him, though this time he was awake* Many have made near plays for power, no one has laid claim. * Her dark gaze swept over Swans ruind cloths and bare feat* Are you going to need a ride?

(This user has left DigiChat) (IP = 24.6.183.243)

Aswan Kaguro (Sep 30, 2010 10:25:17 PM)
"I'll be fine," he spoke quietly. His body filled with a gentle glow as he healed his wounds from the attack. His gaze darted from star to star.

Tokugawa Shinjo (Sep 30, 2010 10:25:33 PM)
( She'll brb, she d/c )

Tokugawa Shinjo (Sep 30, 2010 10:26:46 PM)
Again there came a curious arch of his brow and again the tiny chains danced. His body didn't move, but his eyes followed her closely as she moved to Aswan. While he seemed completely still, there was that sense of tension, like his muscles were coiled and ready to strike at any moment. "Then what of you, Namaru?"

Amalie Molyneux (Sep 30, 2010 10:27:08 PM)
(This user has left DigiChat) (IP = 24.182.218.204)

Keara (Jade) Mercer (Sep 30, 2010 10:29:35 PM)
*she nodded and looked maybe a little doubtfully at Swan before she looked up and over at Shinjo* I have my plans. But they do not necessarly fall in line with reaching for the Throan. *she shrugged slightly and began to stand.* And what of you?

Tokugawa Shinjo (Sep 30, 2010 10:31:46 PM)
As she stood, the massive length of his lower body began to move amongst itself. The coil beneath him loosening into a broad circle, not unlike a cobra. It was easy to forget how large he was when he lay dorment, but when the shadow of his twelve foot height cast down on them, they would be quickly reminded. "Me? You are mistaken. Such concerns are not my own, so long as whoever takes your throne does not disturb what is mine."

Tokugawa Shinjo (Sep 30, 2010 10:32:35 PM)
( More like 9 ft tall, miscalculation )

Aswan Kaguro (Sep 30, 2010 10:33:54 PM)
"What is yours?" Aswan scoffed, his gaze focusing on one star, "Pale comparison to before the Pit...mine was beautiful, and calm, and calculated..."

Tokugawa Shinjo (Sep 30, 2010 10:35:53 PM)
A curious exchange passed across his body as Aswan spoke. His flesh darkened, the green becoming almost black, before bright red stripes blossomed across his scales, tear drop shaped markings adorning the flesh of his sides. His expression did not change, however, as he glanced over to the man. "These has been much damage indeed. But that will change now that it's rightful protectors have returned."

Keara (Jade) Mercer (Sep 30, 2010 10:35:59 PM)
*She canted her head back looking up at him, given that she was slight, she had to really reach for it, but still she didnt cower or flinch back, simply holding her ground with out being agressive. Seeming to radeate calm before she turned and started to pick her way across the clearing * Dwelling on what once was, does nothing to make dealing with what is now, easier.

Tokugawa Shinjo (Sep 30, 2010 10:38:38 PM)
The length of his lower body shifted slightly, subtly tightening it's coil beneath him as he turned to watch Keara. His eyes narrowed feintly, Aswan might catch a glimpse of a black forked tongue darrting silently passed his lips. "I dwell only on the future. If my memory serves, it is your house who's pride kept them from moving forward when it was time to act."

Keara (Jade) Mercer (Sep 30, 2010 10:40:41 PM)
*she looked over her shoulder at him curiously. obviously getting ready to make her way back threw the mud to her car. which... at this moments threw the mud and dark seemed a very long ways away* My comment wasn't for you. And your memory serves you well.

Aswan Kaguro (Sep 30, 2010 10:41:01 PM)
Aswan chuckled, he was always a fan of people cutting down the First House. His eyes switched to a different star, as if looking or waiting for something.

Tokugawa Shinjo (Sep 30, 2010 10:44:23 PM)
She could see his gaze, glowing golden as they caught moonlight, flicker to peer past her, over her. Turned to face him, behind her in the direction of her car, she would hear a loud splash in the swampy water, though the deepness of night made it's source indescernable. Shin himself showed no reaction, glancing back to Aswan at the sound of his laughter. "You are amused? I was impressed by your conviction when you confronted the mortal....and your intelligence when you knew when to back down. Do not make me question your honor. There is no humor in the failings of your allies."

Tokugawa Shinjo (Sep 30, 2010 10:45:15 PM)
( Sorry, not mortal. Defiler. )

Aswan Kaguro (Sep 30, 2010 10:47:29 PM)
"There is always humor...without it..." he paused, eyes closing for a few seconds, "...the pain would be too great. You feel pain when a tree is cut, or a bird shot. I feel it every moment from everything. From subatmoic particles to the heveans above..."

Keara (Jade) Mercer (Sep 30, 2010 10:52:13 PM)
*bighting her lower lip for a moment she looked back towards her car frowning, not ... really revling in the idea of what that loud splash could intale. But the time to go was getting closer, and spending the nigth in the byou was any thing but party. Reaching in her pocket she pulled her cellphone free and flipped it open. her fingers going quickly over the keys before she placed it back.*

Tokugawa Shinjo (Sep 30, 2010 10:55:10 PM)
The feint moonlight that streamed through the woodline's canopy caught in several sets of eyes in the shadows, each one occasionally taking on the same strange yellow glow that Shin himself had. Shin still looked at Aswan, actually seeming to consider the implications of his words before he looked away silently. "The swamp awakens to your presence. You have all disturbed it by coming here."

Perri Santana (Sep 30, 2010 10:55:11 PM)
(The packing is done! Well except for the computer :) ))

Tokugawa Shinjo (Sep 30, 2010 10:55:16 PM)

(congrats honey!)

Perri Santana (Sep 30, 2010 10:57:04 PM)
*There was a momentary shimmer just before Perri reappeared, but now? Gone was the familiar face, replaced by her apoc form, black on black, barely discernable in teh darkness aside fromt eh white glow of her eyes*

Keara (Jade) Mercer (Sep 30, 2010 10:57:33 PM)
*she nodded and looked out over the greenery. the trees. then up at the night sky and took a deep breath* I cant say im supprised, it was hardly quiet here tonight. * once Perri appeared Keara grinned a little wickedly* ahhh the beauty of technology.

Aswan Kaguro (Sep 30, 2010 10:57:48 PM)
"We've distrubed a lot of things," he said, sitting up. He made his way to a full stand, the faith ad done a nice job of healing him physically at least. He looked around, and sighed.

Tokugawa Shinjo (Sep 30, 2010 10:59:05 PM)
As soon as she passed into the material those golden eyes darted over to Perri. They narrowed slightly, but he still remained still, looming over them at his nine foot height. His scales maintained the deep green color, with their baleful red pattern.

Perri Santana (Sep 30, 2010 11:01:26 PM)
They grow them tall out here. *her voice was s sibilant whisper* The ritual is done?

Keara (Jade) Mercer (Sep 30, 2010 11:02:06 PM)
*she nodded and crossed her arms over her chest, her eyes lifting up the snake like figure* indeed they do. * then back to Perri* yes its finished. most have gone home.

Tokugawa Shinjo (Sep 30, 2010 11:04:10 PM)
He settled back slightly, again the coils beneath him subtly tightening, watching them. Each one seemed completeley ignoraunt of their fault, of their insult. Surely they could not all be that arrogant....well..perhaps they could, but he liked to hope not. Perhaps they simply didn't understand? That brought a gleam of amusement to his eyes and his scales began to lighten, taking on an emerald green color, his skin a paler reflection.

Perri Santana (Sep 30, 2010 11:06:07 PM)
*she looked back to Shin* And perhaps we did disturb. But We are not the only ones. One whose been here a long time burst into a private club and meeting to deliver a emssage when a call would have done just as well. Maybe it is all just a little...settling of boundaries.

Aswan Kaguro (Sep 30, 2010 11:08:03 PM)
He started to walk, heading toward where he needed to be. His feet covered in mud after a few steps. His head was tilted back, eyes looking on the sky. "Later Slinky, sorry about the whole gettign summoned crap. Ladies," his words driftign back as he left.

Perri Santana (Sep 30, 2010 11:09:02 PM)

Tokugawa Shinjo (Sep 30, 2010 11:10:10 PM)
Scales rollver over one another as his sinuous lower body began to pile up beneath him, creating a comfortable mound for his torso to prop upon. His eyes flickered to watch Aswan go and the fiend could see the golden eyes in the night wink out, disapearing as he approached. Looking back to the others, he regarded Perri for a moment before speaking. "Perhaps you are right. We, of the Rabisu, do not make habit of swarming through territory without checking first for it's protector."

Keara (Jade) Mercer (Sep 30, 2010 11:10:13 PM)
*she looked up and towards Swan as he started to go* good night Swan, travel safely. * then back up at Perri and then towards Shinjo* This is your teritory and you have been more then hospitable given the scercumstances. I honestly wouldnt have come at all if there handt been a major issue just the night before.

Tokugawa Shinjo (Sep 30, 2010 11:14:55 PM)
He nodded slightly, the tiny chains across his brow swaying in the motion. "As you may have heard, I am Zaebos. I understand you came in fear that your enemies may use these lands against you. You did not know that was impossible, there lands belong to me. A fact the Defiler has apparently overlooked as well. That has changed. I am not unreasonable....if you fear your enemy hides in the wilds around your city, call for me, and I will flush them out for you. But do call...the woods grow more dangerous, it will protect itself if you enter without warning."

Perri Santana (Sep 30, 2010 11:17:50 PM)
Noted. Do you ever venture into the city?

Keara (Jade) Mercer (Sep 30, 2010 11:17:56 PM)
*she nodded slightly and studdied him for a long long moment, her gaze sweeping over him before lifting to his eyes* Thank you for the offer. and it will be rememberd. I can promise you that you will know of my enterence far before I set foot on this ground.

Tokugawa Shinjo (Sep 30, 2010 11:21:06 PM)
Again he would nod, scales shifting as the mound rose up behind him, allowing him to lean back more comfortable. Even such slight motion caused his torso to ripple impressively, almost monsterously. The pale green of his skin took on the soft color of the moon above him as he bathed in it, giving him the eerie appearance of a statue when he fell still. "You both display honor with your understanding. The city? Yes, on occasion...but it has been a very long time now. Very long. Those who aid me in this place retrieve most of what I need."

Perri Santana (Sep 30, 2010 11:23:00 PM)
You are always welcome. And if you need safe haven, mine is open to you.

Keara (Jade) Mercer (Sep 30, 2010 11:24:30 PM)
My name is Asahel and if you ever have a need in the city, please feel free to call for me. I own a club in town, and would be more then willing to extend the same hospitatliy to you that you have shown us. * reaching up she tucked a strand of her soft auburn hair behind her ear as a breeze caught it up, her dark gaze watching his change in color under the low lighting before she looked away to Perri*

Tokugawa Shinjo (Sep 30, 2010 11:27:15 PM)
A brow rose slowly, causing the tiny chains to dance beneath his horns. The gleam of amusement in his eyes returned for a brief moment as he regarded the shadowy figure of the slayer. When the invitation was echoed by the devil, he seemed honestly surprised, though even that was short lived. He took a teeth breath and there was a flash at his lips as his long black torked tongue escaped to taste the air, causing his lids to lower subtly. "I shall remember your offers and the honor offered with them. In turn, I will tell you of the small flat bottom boat a few minutes to the east of this island. It will return you to a dry path to ease your journey."

Keara (Jade) Mercer (Sep 30, 2010 11:29:12 PM)
*Keara could not hide the momentary flash of relief in her dark brown eyes as she looked towards the east. The idea of not trying to walk back out of her, already soaking wet, sounded all to welcoming* thank you.

Perri Santana (Sep 30, 2010 11:30:54 PM)
Thank you Zaebos. Yourpresence in this city is most welcome. *The shadows that were Surya stired in the night breeze, drifting over the surface of the swamp* Asahel, meet me in town?

Keara (Jade) Mercer (Sep 30, 2010 11:31:31 PM)
*she nodded and grinned a little* sure, I'll be a few moments behind you. My treck back isnt quite as convenient.

Perri Santana (Sep 30, 2010 11:33:02 PM)
My meeting from last evening was moved to tonight. Clarence.

Keara (Jade) Mercer (Sep 30, 2010 11:33:52 PM)
*another tinny nod, but her eyes where sparkling with mischef that was impossable to hide* send him my warmest reguards will you? I'll meet you soon.

Tokugawa Shinjo (Sep 30, 2010 11:34:22 PM)
He listened quietly to their dialogue, still resting comfortable amongst the coils of his lower body. If not for the subtle rise and fall of his breathing, he would seem the perfect marble statue placed in the most unlikely of locations.

Sophie Willows (Sep 30, 2010 11:34:28 PM)
*Sophie's head appears above the water she had dissapeared into as she begins to step towards the embankment, each movement revealing more of her as though the liquid itself gave birth to her.*

Perri Santana (Sep 30, 2010 11:35:25 PM)
I will. *And with that, she ismply vanished*

Tokugawa Shinjo (Sep 30, 2010 11:37:28 PM)
He didn't shift as the defiler returned, walking up from the water. As if he simply hadn't noticed her presence. A slight frown did crease his lips when Perri vanished, however, his connection with the swarmp around them losing track of her presence completely. His eyes remained focused on Keara, though the thoughts behind them were impossible to determine.

Keara (Jade) Mercer (Sep 30, 2010 11:37:32 PM)
*She gave Shinjo one last nod and turned to go. * And good evening to you, agan thank you for your hospitality. * turning she started in the direction of the boat, giving Sophie a smile on her way past. * I'm headding back in to town, call me if you need any thing .

Keara (Jade) Mercer (Sep 30, 2010 11:37:44 PM)
(logging here for a bit. I might be back soon =)

(okay I looked away from the screen for like 60 seconds and everyone was gone lol)

Tokugawa Shinjo (Sep 30, 2010 11:38:36 PM)
( lol )

Sophie Willows (Sep 30, 2010 11:40:54 PM)
*Stepping back onto the embankment full water streams from her to fall upon the moss at her feet and she looks around curiously as she realises finally that everyone has gone and in her enjoyment of the wild she had lost complete track of time. The thought brings a smile to her lips, a wave given to Keara and Perri as they head out.*

Tokugawa Shinjo (Sep 30, 2010 11:42:51 PM)
He nodded once to Keara as she left then moved, uncoiling as he rose up to a nine foot height, towering over Sophie. His scales and skin darkened slightly, becoming the deep green tint of a shadowed forrest. "You have made yourself at home in my domain, yes?"

Sophie Willows (Sep 30, 2010 11:46:10 PM)
*The girl but a fraction of his size looks up at him with a smile, the beautiful dazzling image of the elohim having been subdued and discarded for the moment.* I have. *Her head tilts tot he side while she watches him curiously.* Do you mind?

Tokugawa Shinjo (Sep 30, 2010 11:49:29 PM)
His eyes caught moonlight, glowing fiercely even as they narrowed to peer down at her. His massive form caught the moonlight, casting his shadow over her, swallowing her. "I will told you as I told the others. You came for fear your enemies would use this land from which to strike at you. Now you understand that is impossible, these lands are mine. If you fear your enemies are here, call for me, and I will flush them out to you, but do not enter without warning. The wild places around your city grow more dangerous each night and they will defend themselves if you do not."

Sophie Willows (Sep 30, 2010 11:51:31 PM)
*She smiles at him stepping forward, the playful light in her eyes never dimming and the musical quality of her voice continuing to weave through the air around him.* Yes but this place, your animals, your plants, your wilds all need one thing. They survive, they flourish and thrive because of the water that brings them life.... and the water -wishes- for me to be here. *Her eyes drift over to the pool she emerged from smiling a little.* Can't you feel it calling out for me?

Tokugawa Shinjo (Sep 30, 2010 11:53:38 PM)
He leaned a bit closer, small patterns in baleful red blossoming across his scales and up the sides of his torso. A few whisps of red feathered across his face, outlining his eyes. "If you desire to take a swim, your oceans are not far Lammasu. I speak for your own safety, for I do not want the others to storm in when the Swamp finally claims your host. Do not come without warning. Do Not, make me say so again."

Sophie Willows (Sep 30, 2010 11:55:58 PM)
*That mischievious smile turns to him again and she actually rose up on her tip toes as he leaned in and over her, her head tilting back so that she could look him in the eyes.* I am more than I appear to be, I shall not fall so easily. Though of course your concern for my safety brings me great comfort. Are my cheeks flushed?
