*he tossed his head back slightly with a sharp laugh, eyes settling on her again* Oh im sure you'd have plenty of offers. Knights in shining armour lined up around the block. *he grinned*
Paige Villawood (Nov 11, 2011 12:02:56 AM)
*She grins and shrugs.* Knights in shining armour are dull though, it's a problem you see. *Her head tilting to the side she remembers something she'd planned to talk to him about.* Speaking of which Chris I was thinking of Darren and Baton Rouge.
Chris Reimmer (Nov 11, 2011 12:12:27 AM)
*he blinked and looked to her a little questioningly, forgetting their little game immediately* Darren? *eyes narrowing slightly* Alright... what about Darren and Baton Rouge..?
Paige Villawood (Nov 11, 2011 12:21:51 AM)
He has gifts Ra'azareal, gifts of his House that allow him to do things that we can't. *She watches him with her steady gaze, the narrowed eyes noticed and the flippant tone almost immediately leaving her voice.* That's why he was able to collect those samples for me when no one else could. Doors, walls, safe's... none of these things are a barrier to him. He knows how to stay hidden and unobtrusive, if we took him as part of our retinue his value could be immense. We could keep him hidden in the shadows and direct him to ... obtain information for us while we acted as the draw card. You know how a magician works? We become the right hand flashing before the eye and allow him to be the left, moving as you direct him to.
Chris Reimmer (Nov 11, 2011 12:25:08 AM)
*he nodded faintly, keeping his game face on. Odd that the rabisu, who so often claims ignorance to the game of politics was describing using the fiend in this limited operational sense, exactly how Chris was working on using him in their own court. Coincidence? He spoke slowly* So... you want to take him to Baton Rouge as part of the retinue of our cover stories? Count on his anonymity and then have him gather information while we try our best not to be discovered in plain sight?
Paige Villawood (Nov 11, 2011 12:26:15 AM)
*She smiles a little and nods.* It's not a bad plan is it? We can keep him in the background of the retinue, explain him away as a kind of manservant.
Chris Reimmer (Nov 11, 2011 12:28:17 AM)
*he nodded watching her closely, looking for something, what exactly wasn't immeidately obvious* That is /if/, big if here Paige. We can trust a demon *he used the vulgar term consciously* that we literally /just/ met with such a crucial and dangerous mission,
Chris Reimmer (Nov 11, 2011 12:28:52 AM)
*he inhaled, letting the air out fully before speaking again* He seems like a good guy, a little weird, but alright enough. But he's also shifty as Hell.
Paige Villawood (Nov 11, 2011 12:30:51 AM)
*She nods once more, the coffee well and truly forgotten as she wraps her arms around his neck once more. Leaning against him, her head rests upon his shoulder in either an excuse to get closer to him or way for her eyes to remain still so that she can focus on his words.* Of course he won't need to know any more than you tell him Ra'azareal. He can only work from the information that we give him, and if he -does- work for you in this way you are a step closer to controlling him completely and expanding your own power.
Chris Reimmer (Nov 11, 2011 12:35:08 AM)
*he watched her, the nagging suspicion he was being manipulated, likely because he was always working an angle with someone..* He is particularly keen on /not/ being under the thumb of the ministries, me or anyone else. Though he does seem eager to work on problems. *he continued to search her eyes* But can he be trusted? He has no loyalties here. Could he not incentive to sell us out to Hawke's court for a reward?
Paige Villawood (Nov 11, 2011 12:38:09 AM)
*She leans back to look at him with a curious smile, he seemed so astute in so many ways but when it came to the realm of emotions, there were so many he missed.* Darren doesn't want power Ra'az, not now, not yet. He is lost and confused, he hides away from all the world, mortal and elohim alike but deep beneath it what he seeks is acceptance and understanding. He wants to understand himself, and he wants to trust people enough to accept him and help him find that answer. Don't you remember what it was like with us? That first night in the garden, behind the waterfall... whispered words and hidden gestures and that hope that maybe, just maybe we'd found someone we didn't have to hide with?
Chris Reimmer (Nov 11, 2011 12:41:21 AM)
*he nodded slowly, his eyes casting away from her's as he took a moment to consider this* I know he doesn't want power. But is it just understanding? *he looked back to her now* I have this inkling it's all a ruse. He's playing it up to appear less dangerous as he acquires knowledge. *he shook his head, not understanding the 4th house in general* I have in fact... *Oops... said too much. backpedal!* Considered his help as well, but I'm just not sure about him. I've only known him a week, and this is an issue that all our lives depend on.
Paige Villawood (Nov 11, 2011 12:43:04 AM)
(Totally rolling empathy now to catch that !)
Paige Villawood (Nov 11, 2011 12:50:05 AM)
(5 sux!)
Paige Villawood (Nov 11, 2011 1:01:06 AM)
*Blissfully unaware that she was being deceived by the evil lammasu, she smiles gently at him trust in her eyes as she looks to him.* It is a gamble Ra'az, but it could pay off beautifully for us. Still I'll leave that decision in your hands.
Chris Reimmer (Nov 11, 2011 1:04:34 AM)
*Phew, diversion worked like a charm. So smooth. He nodded at that* Well, how about we talk to Victor again, and actually agree to get rolling, and with more information and some time to feel... Maverick... out a little more. We can make a more confiedent decision. *he offered her a smile* Deal?
Paige Villawood (Nov 11, 2011 1:09:01 AM)
Alright. *She smiles with a nod and pulls away, her hand trailing down his arm as her fingers hook around his and she tugs him after her determined to finally find somewhere to sit.* We still haven't decided when we are planning to go to Baton Rouge though.
Chris Reimmer (Nov 11, 2011 1:13:53 AM)
*He took her hand in his, canting his head to the side slightly, an odd realization of the delicateness of her hand in his... such a juxtapositions to who she really was.* No we haven't. We still have to definitively decide whether its the enemy at home or abroad that we tackle first. Its a tough call, I've been thinking about it a lot
Paige Villawood (Nov 11, 2011 1:18:30 AM)
*Leading him towards the lounge she sinks down upon the soft cushions leaning back and shifting a little to get comfortable.* We're a study in opposites Ra'az. You are so cautious and I am so ready to take the risks that are thrown my way.
Chris Reimmer (Nov 11, 2011 1:20:20 AM)
*He sat down next to her, to maintain physical contact. He smiled and nodded* Well, hopefully we're balancing eachother out a little bit. Not good to just plan, but also not good to just act. Maybe together we're meeting somewhere in the middle?
Paige Villawood (Nov 11, 2011 1:23:11 AM)
*Her legs kicking up to lay accross his legs she smiles at him, the lurking humour back in her eyes as she keeps their fingers linked together.* At least amidst all this suspicion and chaos, plotting and planning we know we can trust eachother. *Her head tilting to the side she lays her cheek upon the back of the lounge.* Before you waltzed into my life I'd no intention of taking part in anything political at all, all that mattered to me was my garden and rebuilding all that has been lost.
Chris Reimmer (Nov 11, 2011 1:28:17 AM)
*he put his hands down to rub affectionately on the top of her thigh, looking over to her* You know... I didn't really initially plan on getting invovled in politics either. I, as you know, had my own plans. *he lowered his head slightly, looking up at her* Actually, it was you who got me moving in this direction.
Paige Villawood (Nov 11, 2011 1:30:26 AM)
*She casts him a quizzical look, his words slowly penetrating through the nights and nights of planning and research.* Ra'az, do you mean that you -don't- want this? *She bites down on her bottom lip as the amusement springs to her eyes.* Have we both been just trying to make the other happy?
Chris Reimmer (Nov 11, 2011 1:32:36 AM)
*he lifted his hand a moment to slow her down* No.. I'm committed now. *a little grin coming over his lips* But that first movement. When I stood and spoke in court, that got this whole thing going... eventually convincing me to seek a private audience with Khobran after my rebuke in court. *he laughed, mostly at himself* But why I stood up that first time at all, was because I wanted to impress you... *he shook his head* Is that crazy?
Paige Villawood (Nov 11, 2011 1:34:41 AM)
*The humour dances quite vibrantly in her eyes as she slides closer to him, the confession utterly delighting her.* Almost as crazy as me flirting desperately with every male I could find when you were present just to force you to pay some attention to my existence. *She smiles as she watches him, beautifully unaware that he had known her plan all along.*

Paige Villawood (Nov 11, 2011 1:43:48 AM)
*Hearing the horn she looks curiously towards the front window, her legs sliding back down to the floor as she stands up and makes her way over to the door tugging it open and looking out to the source of the noise in question.*
Chris Reimmer (Nov 11, 2011 1:44:40 AM)

Legion (Nov 11, 2011 1:45:04 AM)
**The driver is almost completely concealed in a heavy coat, scarf and the scruffy fingerless gloves of a bum. It's only the coke bottle glasses that betrays the mans identity. He hits the horn again**
Chris Reimmer (Nov 11, 2011 1:46:52 AM)
*He hopped up after Paige to look out the window as well, squinting and nodding to himself as he spotted the coke bottle glasses* Ahh.. Seems it's a travelling show.
Paige Villawood (Nov 11, 2011 1:47:03 AM)
*Sliding hands into the pockets of her denim shorts she moves on bare feet accross the grass and towards the car, her expression filled with curiosity and showing not an ounce of fear that it would be wise for her to fear. Stopping beside the drivers window she smiles to the bum.* Evening.
Legion (Nov 11, 2011 1:49:00 AM)
**As the old car vibrates in the drive, you can see the exsuast is held in place with electrical tape and a side mirror hangs by the wiring. Victor winds down the window a little** Yes yes, hello hello.... so, where is your freind hmm, playing house while deeds are to be done? Very cosy I'm sure **he grins** well know, we needs knowing where your game begins eh?
Legion (Nov 11, 2011 1:49:18 AM)
Which board have you chosen...
Chris Reimmer (Nov 11, 2011 1:49:59 AM)
*he came out after her, having deked into the bedroom to grab his pistol and slide it inthe back of his jeans, offering a quick wave to Victor as he appraoached the taxi, a smirk on his lips* Nice ride.
Paige Villawood (Nov 11, 2011 1:50:12 AM)
Actually we had a couple of questions to ask you if you don't mind us being terribly inquisitive sir. *The smile never leaving her lips her head tilts back to indicate the house behind her.* Care to drop inside for a visit?
Legion (Nov 11, 2011 1:52:11 AM)
**The old man looks to Chris and his eyes shine with life and self amusement. He adresses Paige** Cross the threshold for any wake walker and touch thief to mark my footsteps? I don't think so, but come for a drive and we can talk as we go... added to that I'm starving
Chris Reimmer (Nov 11, 2011 1:53:08 AM)
*he nodded to that* Works for me. *he opened the rear driver side door for the rabisu, putting on a mock air of sophistication* After you m'lady. *he grinned*
Paige Villawood (Nov 11, 2011 1:53:44 AM)
*She returned the grin to Chris and stepped into the car, not bothering the time to change or even grab a pair of shoes as she slips into the back and scoots over to make room for him.*
Chris Reimmer (Nov 11, 2011 1:55:34 AM)
*he blinked as the door hand came right off in his hand, we'll say for smoothness of effect, he just ushered her around to the other side to get in*
Legion (Nov 11, 2011 1:56:03 AM)
**The old man wrangles the gears into reverse after twice causing the car to lujrch forward with a grinding sound and backs out onto the road. He then does the same dance until finally losing his temper, kills the engine all together and casually tosses the keys out of the window** Gahh, stupid mortal machines . Everything on this godforsaken boulder only adds to misery
Legion (Nov 11, 2011 1:57:19 AM)
**He leans foreward and croons as if to a pet, encouraging the car to go.. the engine purrs into life and the car takes off** So... h,mm questions eh?
Legion (Nov 11, 2011 1:57:54 AM)
**he adjusts his beanie with a free hand and puts the car in neutral as the car picks up speed*
Paige Villawood (Nov 11, 2011 1:58:22 AM)
*She watches him curiously as the old man seems to speak to the car, the smile never leaving her lips as she finds herself leaning forwards unconsciously.* Uh yes, questions sir. Such as what do we already know about the court of Baton Rouge, do we have a list of members and the names of those that hold positions there?
Chris Reimmer (Nov 11, 2011 1:58:53 AM)
*he glanced over to Paige then to the malefactor and smiled to himself as the car began to move and nodded* Yeah...we were curious as to what intel currently exists on their court.
Legion (Nov 11, 2011 2:03:25 AM)
Baton Rouge is a closed book to most... that is whta makes entry so difficult. Their court structure works more like an organised crime syndicate so I have no idea who acts as an Inquisitor, if indeed there is such a role. Gabriel Hawke is tyrant and he loves both the title and the power so theres no guessing game there. As to his Watchers... a Fiend who's name I wont say here.... practised, careful, clever
Paige Villawood (Nov 11, 2011 2:04:55 AM)
*Her eyes flick to Chris quickly before she looks back to Victor as he drives.* So our existing intelligence on the court is almost non existant?
Legion (Nov 11, 2011 2:06:19 AM)
Not completly... The Lord General and the speaker for the Fallen tower recently outed themselves through a public scandal and open hostilities are the talk of the town.
Chris Reimmer (Nov 11, 2011 2:06:49 AM)
*he nodded sitting back against the seat, glancing to Paige and back* Alright... so we don't know much...*he rubbed his forhead* A public scandal?
Paige Villawood (Nov 11, 2011 2:07:15 AM)
Scandel? *Her words almost instantly mirror Chris' question, overlapping so that she smiles and shakes her head, falling quiet to listen.*
Legion (Nov 11, 2011 2:07:56 AM)
The Lord General, publically is a nothing, a noone. No socila security number, no legal liscences. He goes by the name Michael Denton when he goes by any name at all
Legion (Nov 11, 2011 2:09:03 AM)
HIs enforcers are shadowmwn so up until now, it's been near impossible to gain nay bintel on them h,mm **Victor nods to himself* slippery bunch these, all watching their backs, holding onto what tithe they can
Legion (Nov 11, 2011 2:10:30 AM)
It appears he's decided to move into the local gambling rackets and in doing so, wiped out a small group of cuban hot house wannabe's, running a football tipping racket out of the projects
Paige Villawood (Nov 11, 2011 2:11:55 AM)
*She nods and listens closely, a scandal could play perfectly into their plans if there was some level of dissention within the court.*
Legion (Nov 11, 2011 2:12:01 AM)
UNfortunatly, that was as it turns out, a lovely side business and main source of income to Father Pierro Santino, teleevangelist and a man running for Mayor
Chris Reimmer (Nov 11, 2011 2:12:40 AM)
*he nodded and smirked* Always gotta watch who's toes you step on I guess...
Legion (Nov 11, 2011 2:13:49 AM)
Indeed Mr Reimmer **he cackles** Indeed... The good Father is also The Speaker, as I discovered only days ago... He he has sought a willing ally in ending Mr Denton... He has been careful... cautious... and of course looking for out of town help
Legion (Nov 11, 2011 2:14:01 AM)
hence, my ear was to the ground
Paige Villawood (Nov 11, 2011 2:14:49 AM)
*She looks over to Chris speaking on impulse.* This is the perfect time for us to leave.
Chris Reimmer (Nov 11, 2011 2:17:15 AM)
*he nodded to Paige, glancing between her and Victor, his eyes fashing as he began mentally working out the steps to a plan* This actually leads me to an idea I was cooking up, Victor, to try to knock Hawke down.
Legion (Nov 11, 2011 2:18:22 AM)
**The car stops abruptly with a short screetch of tires, they red light allowing pedestrains to cross before them** hmm?
Legion (Nov 11, 2011 2:20:51 AM)
(This user is now known as Victor)
Chris Reimmer (Nov 11, 2011 2:21:51 AM)
*He looked to the Great Eagle, as he preferred to be called, apparently* Well... since Hawke's court is by all indicators in a superior position in terms of power. I figured the best, maybe the only way to truly beat them, was to do it with their own resources. *he reached up a little anxiously to push the hair back from his face* Now, I was going on the assumption that a man like Hawke would have a tight grip on his court... counting on fear. But that there would be those under him who would cast envious eyes at his position. Now you have revealed that dissent is a reality in BR. *he took a breath* I wanted to try to root out that dissention while in their court, to look for a would-be usurper. Someone or some group not powerful enough to take on Hawke and his supporters alone... but with outside help....
Chris Reimmer (Nov 11, 2011 2:21:58 AM)
(sorry for the block)
Chris Reimmer (Nov 11, 2011 2:22:21 AM)
*pausing a moment to try to read Victor*
Victor (Nov 11, 2011 2:24:05 AM)
**he pulls away again, nodding** interesting, yes, interesting. We seek to learn before we risk showing our cards, but there is a window of opportunity before us...
Chris Reimmer (Nov 11, 2011 2:25:10 AM)
*he nodded quickly* If we could offer the right candidate within BR, the support of our court to launch a coup. Topple Hawke, weaken the over all power of BR through the conflict, and gain a potential regional ally for Khobran. *he overturns his palms as if to offer the idea in a gesture*
Paige Villawood (Nov 11, 2011 2:25:27 AM)
*She nods with a smile.* We don't have the resources to fight Baton Rouge ourself, but were they a fractured court then we wouldn't have to, they would fight themselves. Whether Hawke or the would be usurper won power in the end it would be years before they recouped all that they lost in the battle. During that time New Orleans would simply continue to grow in strength.
Victor (Nov 11, 2011 2:27:31 AM)
I see.... Hawke is a wiley one. I would be suprised, no, I would be amased if you were able to set such wheels in motion that would test his seat. But, who knows, this fracture within court does offer possibilities. **he pulls the car over and turns in his seat*
Paige Villawood (Nov 11, 2011 2:28:35 AM)
*Leaning back in her seat as Victor turns around she nods.* We have a list of disguises for three people, would it endanger us to take a fourth as a kind of manservant?
Chris Reimmer (Nov 11, 2011 2:29:38 AM)
*he nodded to that* Obviously Hawke cannot be underestimated. He is the tyrant there for a reason. But he's the top of a balance of power /within/ that city. No one there has the incentives or resources to take what they surely covet for their own. But we can tip that balance with the forces of this court. We can re-write the power equation within BR for someone with ambitious dreams.
Victor (Nov 11, 2011 2:32:31 AM)
**For the first time, he looks truly serious** Freinds.... I sense your enthusiam, your fire to rise the ranks of your brethren. Though not for power I think... I think more to free yourselves from the shackles that our skins provide. However. You must not allow your fire to burn to brightly. I have lost people to Baton Rouge bacause they expect deceipt and blood at every turm while under Khobrans wing, we look to tests against our honour, rarely cowardly knives ot our backs. I believe the tow of you show enouh restraint that I can trust you to attempt some headway into Baton Rouge, but that is because I trust that you, unlike some of your fellow fallen will know when a plan needs abandoning and new paths taken
Victor (Nov 11, 2011 2:33:18 AM)
Add what help you deem is needed, but walk carefully.. they may not be expecting you, but they are expecting someone, they always are
Paige Villawood (Nov 11, 2011 2:34:56 AM)
*She nods taking the warning seriously.* We will gather what information that we can and put what plans are possible into motion, but if we find ourselves in danger will return immediately. Only, sir, do you have someone in mind who can change our faces for us?
Victor (Nov 11, 2011 2:35:50 AM)
**he turns in his seat and pulls back out ** That has been taken care of
Chris Reimmer (Nov 11, 2011 2:37:19 AM)
*He nodded gravely, his brow furrowing deeply, as the wheels turned in his head* I had a question about the possible infiltrators too... *he glanced up to Victor* Do we have any idea about any specific information that has leaked? Or the nature of what is getting out? That might point us in the right direction in regards to the internal issues.
Paige Villawood (Nov 11, 2011 2:38:42 AM)
I watched them both closely at court, but all I could pick up is that Daphne was aloof and distant and not knowing how she normally appears I can't say if that is out of character. *She looks between the two men.* Crimson however was definately nervous about something, nervous and guarded.
Victor (Nov 11, 2011 2:39:10 AM)
Hmm, well, we know they identified Anvil as connected to Khobran, we know they infiltrated local council with a few gifts givel to mortal workers both in the roadds dept and the dmv and we know they have attempted at least to tempt a few well posiitoned police operatives
Victor (Nov 11, 2011 2:39:44 AM)
this in turn leads us to believe that they must have been leaked these personla relationship details
Chris Reimmer (Nov 11, 2011 2:41:20 AM)
Is there a short list of people who would have been privy to these personal relationships? Or would have been common knowledge in the upper eschalons of court?
Paige Villawood (Nov 11, 2011 2:41:34 AM)
If it's not commonly know it points towards Daphne.
Victor (Nov 11, 2011 2:42:11 AM)
Daphne, a lovely girl. I would hate that news to comer to term.
Victor (Nov 11, 2011 2:44:15 AM)
Another you may want to chceck on his a Jack Shmidt. He has been working very hard at the forge of late I assume, as my information tells me he has been burining tehy midnight oil and many resources. And yet, I am yet to see him hold a yard sale
Victor (Nov 11, 2011 2:44:31 AM)
Red herring? possibly, but I like to have all the infor I can
Paige Villawood (Nov 11, 2011 2:45:15 AM)
*She nods.* I also have some information on other issues I think I should pass on to you sir. If you've the time?
Victor (Nov 11, 2011 2:46:00 AM)
**The taxi appears to be taking the scenic route back, but back he goes** yes yes,. what is it?
Chris Reimmer (Nov 11, 2011 2:48:55 AM)
*he sits back, waiting for Paige to deliver her information, eyes glancing out the window a moment, watching the streetside roll by. His mind beginning to wander*
Paige Villawood (Nov 11, 2011 2:49:19 AM)
I'm sure you're aware of the virus that has been released now twice into the city? We know it has been designed by a sebbuttu and enhanced to ensure that it attacks the elohim as well as humans. We also have been able to get a hold of samples, thanks to Darren Coleman and I have been working on analysing these samples in a haz lab at the university. I can confirm that it was a sebettu that created the virus, you can feel his fury and wrath in every inch of it. I have also confirmed that it is air born. Only a breathing apparatus, either a heavy duty filtration system or oxygen tank and breathing mask stops the aerial contagion; a simple face mask won’t do it. Once it’s in the blood stream it lies dormant until the blood attempts to re-oxygenate at which point it becomes active, highly aggressive and attacks the lungs, actually eating away at the tissue, hence people are coughing blood. It’s virulent, deadly and constantly changing. I have however isolated a single recurring protein and an inhibitor to
Victor (Nov 11, 2011 2:49:19 AM)
**The car then leaves the road and heads into a KFC drive in**
Paige Villawood (Nov 11, 2011 2:49:35 AM)
said protein, I'm currently working on finding a treatment or creating a preventative that will protect from infection. Chris has been working on finding information regarding the current host. *She looks over to Chris in question.* Though perhaps he'd better tell you about that. We have been having some trouble though with a new arrival named Julia, I'm sure you're aware that she offended the Lady Inquisitor in the Garden last court session.
Victor (Nov 11, 2011 2:50:36 AM)
**he chuckles as he winds down the window** She has a head of steam that one...
Victor (Nov 11, 2011 2:51:27 AM)
go on., go on
Victor (Nov 11, 2011 2:52:33 AM)
**into the window** a bucket of chicken... nothing else... wha... how many pieces? It says bucket.. just fill the bucket! hmm, yes yes... **drives on**
Chris Reimmer (Nov 11, 2011 2:52:40 AM)
*he looked back from the window* Well, I know he was a patient at the Briar Rose retirement home. His name is Harold Jaeger. No family ties to speak of that I have been able ot find, but he does apparently make contact with his lawyer. One my followers has gone to investiate that lead. But I haven't heard back yet.
Paige Villawood (Nov 11, 2011 2:53:19 AM)
*She nods with a smile.* She makes enemies quickly and is so dedicated to mortal interests that she was infuriated and is opposed to us studying the virus because she does not trust us to stop it from moving out into the wider community. It also seems she endangered a group of others when she went after this sebettu personally and almost got them all killed. She has now become the architect of the virus' priority target.
Chris Reimmer (Nov 11, 2011 2:53:41 AM)
*he smirked* This may seem inconsequential at first, but given some of what we've heard. The old man had a weakness for the young nurses. Kept a stash of skin mags in his room. This lust for the pleasures of the flesh seem to have been retained in the possession.

*She smiles and looks to Chris in question, fairly certain that they had just updated Victor on everything they had learnt in the past week.*
Chris Reimmer (Nov 11, 2011 2:55:15 AM)
*he looked over to her and gave a quick nod, that was all the bases he could recall*
Victor (Nov 11, 2011 2:55:17 AM)
hmm, okay... speak to Jermey Price, hospital administration and recoreds in regards to Jaeger, he will shake something loose. As to Julia
Chris Reimmer (Nov 11, 2011 2:56:29 AM)
She seems too reckless and obvious to be an enemy provocateur, given how tight the game of cat and mouse is becoming. *he glanced to Paige* But I have my suspicions.
Paige Villawood (Nov 11, 2011 2:57:23 AM)
*She nods in time with Chris' words.* I agree, no enemy spy could be as clumsy as she is or wish to make as many enemy's as she does as quickly as she has.
Victor (Nov 11, 2011 2:57:55 AM)
**He pulls up outside the house** She has not come to me, thinking still we are strangers from each other
Chris Reimmer (Nov 11, 2011 2:59:18 AM)
I think it might be possible, given her penchant for conflict, hatred and violence... *he shrugged* I don't know... there is a faction that comes to mind. But who's to say.
Victor (Nov 11, 2011 2:59:40 AM)
**He turns in his seat** Yet I remember those who betray their brothers, and she was a turncoat to the Ebon Legion, leaving us when needs were at their most and turned to the Iron
Paige Villawood (Nov 11, 2011 3:00:32 AM)
*She tilts her head to the side soaking in the information.* So she abandoned her brothers and sisters and fled her legion at the height of their need?
Victor (Nov 11, 2011 3:01:34 AM)
Aye, and took her poison to them. Don't believe all the tales you hear of the Ebon Legion. We may have been brutal, but we were warriors **he flashes a toothy grin**
Victor (Nov 11, 2011 3:02:22 AM)
She was a dark one though, **he turns back as the car, clealry not revelaing more** So... you have what you need now... go about it i'd say
Paige Villawood (Nov 11, 2011 3:03:08 AM)
*She nods to that, the smile returned.* As were we all. *That little bit of information stored away she looks to Chris and then to Victor.* Sir, you said you already have plans for our disguises?
Chris Reimmer (Nov 11, 2011 3:03:20 AM)
*He eyed the old man a moment, a little smirk coming to his lips. There was more to the old koot every time he met him. Although he was hardly comforted by the knowledge he served in the Ebon Legion.* Well, I think we're of the mind. *glancing to Paige* That we should get moving on infiltrating Baton Rouge to set the groundwork there for further operations.
Victor (Nov 11, 2011 3:03:36 AM)
ahh I did I did, it was for this I came around.....
Victor (Nov 11, 2011 3:04:38 AM)
**he reaches under his seat and pops the trunk** Save an old mans legs and fetch out the wooden packing case would you
Paige Villawood (Nov 11, 2011 3:05:28 AM)
(brb! Chris can fetch :P)
Chris Reimmer (Nov 11, 2011 3:06:07 AM)
*he opened the door and swung around to grab the box and return to the cab dutifiully, a little smirk, ever-present on his lips* Does this mean we're officially Eagles Ministry operatives?
Victor (Nov 11, 2011 3:06:09 AM)
**A raw wood case, hammered shut with 'handle with care' stenciled on the lid, about the size of a board game, though a good ten inches deep**
Victor (Nov 11, 2011 3:07:20 AM)
**He looks out the rolled down window, a fleshy chicken leg thick with oil in his woolen fingers** If you come back, I might even offer you a retainer
Victor (Nov 11, 2011 3:08:07 AM)
** he cackles as the car backs out and with a bang of petrol fumes, the taxi takes off**
Chris Reimmer (Nov 11, 2011 3:08:59 AM)
*Well, left standing with the box, he looked over to Paige and frowned* He really likes to leave things kinda hangin', doesn't he?
Paige Villawood (Nov 11, 2011 3:10:26 AM)
*Waving with a smile to the leaving taxi she looks over to Chris with a smle.* Yes, but if he were to give us step by step instructions we'd just have to go to the trouble of thinking of ways to circumvent them and do what we want anyhow.
Chris Reimmer (Nov 11, 2011 3:11:25 AM)
*he laughed and looked down at the box* I'm dying of curiosity.
Victor (Nov 11, 2011 3:11:25 AM)
**The box has some weight to it and is uneven in distribution... feels around 60lbs**
Paige Villawood (Nov 11, 2011 3:12:14 AM)
*She chuckles and slips her hands back into her pockets as she nods towards the house.* Maybe we should satisfy it somewhere private?
Chris Reimmer (Nov 11, 2011 3:14:56 AM)
*he shifted the weight slightly in his arms, labouring slightly to carry the box to the house* Maybe i should start lifting weights or something
Paige Villawood (Nov 11, 2011 3:17:31 AM)
*The smile lingering on her lips she walks a half pace ahead of him to open the door wide for the box so he can heft it inside.* You know you can bring anything into the cottage that you want to.
Chris Reimmer (Nov 11, 2011 3:20:16 AM)
*he smirked as he struggled a little to get the box into the house* Maybe Amos has some work out regime. Maybe he has his own at-home video series... *once inside he sat it down in the middle of the little living room area*
Paige Villawood (Nov 11, 2011 3:21:23 AM)
*She chuckles and sinks down to her knee's beside the box, openly curious about what lays inside.* You obviously spend a great deal of time looking at Amos' physique. Should I be jealous?
Chris Reimmer (Nov 11, 2011 3:21:52 AM)
Yes. *he spoke painly and went ahead to open the sucker up*
Paige Villawood (Nov 11, 2011 3:25:17 AM)
*Leaning to the side and towards him she looks into the box expectantly.*
Victor (Nov 11, 2011 3:26:58 AM)
**You slowly prize the box open and the first thing that greets you is a sealed gold card envelope atop the packing**
Paige Villawood (Nov 11, 2011 3:29:34 AM)
*Reaching for the envelope she opens it curiously, leaving Chris to go through the rest of the box.*
Victor (Nov 11, 2011 3:29:44 AM)
**Inside, a card reads** welcome to the nest - Use only when you're ready. - Malinkarah Ra
Victor (Nov 11, 2011 3:30:05 AM)
**The box is filled with dry straw packing and smells of age and pine. It somehow makes you feel like a mortal areaologist of old, recovering some age'd relic for some far off land... a moment later, you both look at each other as you realise that it's not just your mortal reaction ot the case...... You are in the presence of something so old that the very presence of years is marking the room... something that should no longer be..**
Chris Reimmer (Nov 11, 2011 3:30:11 AM)
*he starts to remove the packing carefully...*
Victor (Nov 11, 2011 3:32:14 AM)
Chris, you can feel a number of objects all at once. pulling the first from the straww and shaking it off, it is a odd looking thing of gold, a single domed plate surrounded with connected, spring loaded curved claws of smooth gold
Paige Villawood (Nov 11, 2011 3:34:15 AM)
*Slipping the card back into the envelope she looks over to Chris.* I don't think we're supposed to use any of it until we're actually ready to go. *She smiles and leans back a little on the heals of her feet.* First we have to assemble our team.
Chris Reimmer (Nov 11, 2011 3:34:15 AM)
*He held up the gold object and held it carefully up to the light, looking over to her* You have any fucking clue what this is?
Victor (Nov 11, 2011 3:35:22 AM)
As you turn it over and the 'dome' reveals three holes, it is revealed as a mask. ON the outside, a featureless face with just eyes nose and moth subtly suggested, all in burnished gold. The 'claws' appear to be connected via tiny clockwork fittings, the works largely hidden in small boxes that are a part of the whole. YOu can only imaging that putting your face to such a thing would activate the claws, but how violenlty is up to the imagination. The upper most claws are long enough to flip up and over the top of your head**
Paige Villawood (Nov 11, 2011 3:36:53 AM)
(Just a warning :) I really have to run in about 10 mins)
Victor (Nov 11, 2011 3:37:00 AM)
**The interior of the masks are finished in blue cobolt and thus have a distinctive Egytian feel**
Chris Reimmer (Nov 11, 2011 3:37:07 AM)
*His eyes widen slighly as he realized the function of it's form. His eyes casting to Paige nervously* It's like... an ancient golden... mechanical... face hugger from Aliens...
Victor (Nov 11, 2011 3:37:24 AM)
(lol - exactly!!)
Paige Villawood (Nov 11, 2011 3:37:26 AM)
*She glances over to the mask and decides it is likely best if she doens't touch it.* Are there three of them?
Victor (Nov 11, 2011 3:38:47 AM)
**inspection of the box reveals five masks, all feeling ancient and hmmm, Khobran... The egyptian.... Victor... Malinkarah Ra..... nahhh!**
Paige Villawood (Nov 11, 2011 3:39:44 AM)
*She smiles and looks over to him leaning back and away from the box.* Ra'az, when the time comes... you are definately going first.
Victor (Nov 11, 2011 3:40:14 AM)
((and I am out! Loves ya and leaves ya, catch you on the weekend maybe))

Chris Reimmer (Nov 11, 2011 3:41:51 AM)
*he looked at the mask lowering it down with the other five. Looking over, he shook his head* No way. Rock paper scissors.
Paige Villawood (Nov 11, 2011 3:42:33 AM)
*She laughs and pokes him in the stomach, the humour back in her eyes.* Hey! What happened to the gentlemanly idea of taking the risks before the woman you love and adore?
Chris Reimmer (Nov 11, 2011 3:44:12 AM)
*he smirked sitting back and looking over the masks* Chivalry is dead.
Chris Reimmer (Nov 11, 2011 3:45:27 AM)
*he continued* Five masks... changes the game a little from the three we had before. We'll have to think carefully about who's coming. This could be a suicide mission if someone blows our cover.
Paige Villawood (Nov 11, 2011 3:45:27 AM)
*She stands up and turns, a very pointed look given to him over her shoulder as she begins moving towards the bedroom. A certain promising sway in her hips, a 'come hither' in her eyes as she speaks.* How about bribery?
Chris Reimmer (Nov 11, 2011 3:46:10 AM)
*his eyes following her a moment before he smiled and stood to follow her a little eagerly* Well... every man has his price.
Paige Villawood (Nov 11, 2011 3:48:30 AM)
(insert kinky amazing sex here while I run offline!)
