*Chris led the devil through the shop to the little cottage Paige and now he lived in. He was attired as per usual, nothing out of the ordinary with the lammasu* Been a little while, how are ya?

Samuel Quentin (Nov 8, 2011 8:37:59 PM)
*his usual smile is slowed in coming* Its been hectic

Chris Reimmer (Nov 8, 2011 8:39:07 PM)
*he glanced over his shoulder, opening the door to the cottage and treading in. Stepping on his own heels to slide out of his converse runners* Oh yeah? *he moved down the hall towards the kitchen, b-lining for the fridge* Fill me in over a beer?

Samuel Quentin (Nov 8, 2011 8:39:40 PM)
*he nods, the smile sticks around* gladly

Samuel Quentin (Nov 8, 2011 8:41:47 PM)
*he seems a little on edge looking lost in thought , he is dressed as per usual in a darm suit and tie. he follows the lammasu*

Chris Reimmer (Nov 8, 2011 8:44:24 PM)
*he pried open the fridge, pulling out two beers, something cheap. He handed him a can and watched him, kicking the fridge closed behind him, he went to sit at the kitchen table* Alright, lay it on me.

Samuel Quentin (Nov 8, 2011 8:49:34 PM)
*He takes the beer and pops the can open he remains standing and beings to slowly pace the length of the table*There is war going on brother, I grow increasingly reminded of it......I do not think we are ready for it. *he holds the beer absentmindedly and puts his thumb on his chin thinking. *I Know i fought the same war before *he looks at his hands now held out in front of him* ...things were different then

Chris Reimmer (Nov 8, 2011 8:51:40 PM)
*he watched the man beginning to pace, the aggitation in his brother plain as day. He popped the can open and took a sip as he listened* I agree. We're /not/ ready for it. *He exhaled through his nose slowly* We must endeavor to amend this state of affairs, of course... *he stopped their, waiting for the man to go on*

Chris Reimmer (Nov 8, 2011 9:07:13 PM)
*Chris and Sam are in the cottage right now. Chris is sitting at the kitchen table, a can of beer in hand. Sam is talking and pacing.*

Paige Villawood (Nov 8, 2011 9:12:09 PM)
*A car pulls up outside said cottage and Paige steps out exchanging a few words with the man behind the wheel before she closes the door and starts up the path. Her fitted black skirt crumpled and white blouse half untucked, the rich brown hair is in a tangle around her face and the usual graceful stride seems more of an exhausted stagger as she makes her way towards the front door.*

Samuel Quentin (Nov 8, 2011 9:14:56 PM)
*he continues to pace setting down the opened beer on the table* Ihave been trying to remember how. *he pauses* i am eager for a new chance at it

Chris Reimmer (Nov 8, 2011 9:16:26 PM)
*The defiler had been the picture of disaffected placidity when he had led Sam in, but as soon as the car pulled up out front, his eyes flickering over. Paige getting out, looking in disarray, the car and man unfamiliar. A storm began to form on his face. Looking back to Samuel* These things take time. It does with all of us.

Paige Villawood (Nov 8, 2011 9:18:18 PM)
*Tugging open the door she steps inside closing it behind her and falling back against it as she takes a moment to close her eyes and steady herself, her ears picking up the sound of voices and wanting an idea of who was here before joining them.*

Samuel Quentin (Nov 8, 2011 9:18:43 PM)
*he leans on the tables ceasing his pacing* Your not listening to me brother... The war is coming sooner than later

Chris Reimmer (Nov 8, 2011 9:20:32 PM)
*The anger and suspicion in his chest simmering he shook his head to try to clear his thoughts and looked back at Samuel, a brow perked* With... *he looked up to the ceiling* Or... something else?

Paige Villawood (Nov 8, 2011 9:20:55 PM)
*A smile coming to her lips as she hears Samuel and comes to the logical assumption that the other voice is Chris she pushes off from the door and starts towards the kitchen. Upon closer inspection not only does she look overly tangled and crumpled, her skin is pale with deep dark circles underneath her eyes making them appear huge, as though all colour save from white and black had been drained completely from her.*

Samuel Quentin (Nov 8, 2011 9:22:23 PM)
*his grin is devoid of hapiness* Perhaps both

Chris Reimmer (Nov 8, 2011 9:23:26 PM)
*he leaned in, to speak, but stopped, turning his face to Paige. He tried to hide his scowl, but even the expert deceiver had his weak moments. His words bitter as poison* Late night?

Samuel Quentin (Nov 8, 2011 9:25:04 PM)
*sam is disinterested or distracted and continues pacing*

Paige Villawood (Nov 8, 2011 9:25:24 PM)
Something like that but it was worth it. *She smiles in responce, looking over to Samuel and taking a step towards him to place a chaste kiss upon his cheek.* Evening Sam. *Walking over to Chris she ducks down to brush her lips accross his, far too exhausted to pick up on the clues that would normally alert her to his mood.* Is there any coffee?

Chris Reimmer (Nov 8, 2011 9:30:01 PM)
*he was stone still as she came to greet him. His eyes cast out the namaru, the wrath in his eyes apparent to anyone with the energy to pick up on even the most basic social cues. He spoke flatly, trying to bury his emotion* No. You'll have to make some. *Turning his attention back to Sam* Well, do you have evidence of... you know who, coming back?

Samuel Quentin (Nov 8, 2011 9:30:17 PM)
((after his kiss of course:) ))

Chris Reimmer (Nov 8, 2011 9:30:48 PM)
(mmm this Signet is delicious!)

Paige Villawood (Nov 8, 2011 9:31:29 PM)
*Starting towards the kitchen she calls back to the pair over her shoulder, something inherantly comforting about being away from the world with her closest of allies bringing a more relaxed smile to her lips.* Would you both like some?

Samuel Quentin (Nov 8, 2011 9:31:33 PM)
*he looks at chris* I will be prepared if he does....it is the present that concerns me more. There are dangers enough before he returns

Paige Villawood (Nov 8, 2011 9:31:36 PM)
(You're eating a baby swan?)

Samuel Quentin (Nov 8, 2011 9:31:49 PM)

(please... I prefer 'monster')

Paige Villawood (Nov 8, 2011 9:33:07 PM)
*She nods as she flicks on the kettle and begins preparing coffee.* Speaking of which I think I have made some progress on one of those dangers.

Chris Reimmer (Nov 8, 2011 9:33:35 PM)
*he didn't answer the rabisu, nodding instead to Sam, leaning back in his chair, trying to stay focussed on the devil's forboding words, but the present, ironically enough, distracting him* Alright, what's got you all worked up?

Samuel Quentin (Nov 8, 2011 9:36:27 PM)
*He looks between them* the things ive heard in court andd from ...others had led me to believe the greatest danger to our end of this War is at our own hands *he again looks between them as he pauses momentarily* What do you know about this Elohim who is spreading disease

Paige Villawood (Nov 8, 2011 9:39:34 PM)
*Leaning back against the counter, mainly to keep herself upright she shoots a puzzled look to Chris, even in her exhausted state unable to help but pick up that something was wrong. Shaking her head a little she looks back to Samuel and forces a smile.* Actually that's the news I have. I spent the last forty hours apparently in the lab working on the samples that Darren retrieved and I think I have some important information on the virus.

*He perked a brow, taking a sip of his beer, the time of day was irrelevant* Well. I know that he possessed a body of a man from Brianna's care home. *he stopped, looking over to Paige, his expression softening slightly, but suspcion remained* Oh?

Samuel Quentin (Nov 8, 2011 9:42:07 PM)
*Sam awaits elaboration, he looks irritable*

Paige Villawood (Nov 8, 2011 9:46:23 PM)
I managed to get a bio hazard containment lab for the study, but the university can only give it to me for a short amount of time and I'm hesitant to take anyone else into it due to what we're looking into so it's slow going, but I think I had a small breakthrough about twelve hours ago. The creator is definately sebettu, you can feel his fury through the entire virus. It's highly contagious, the contagin is airborn and a little face mask won't protect anyone from it only a heavy duty filtration system or oxygen tank and breathing mask stops the aerial contagion. It's drawn into the blood stream and lies dormant until the body tries to re-oxygenate the blood in the lungs. That process activates it and it is immediately incredibly aggressive and actually eats the tissue of the lungs themselves, that's why people are coughing up blood. It also mutates quickly, faster than anything I've seen. The good news is however that I've isolated a single protein in the virus that remains stable regardless of the stag

Paige Villawood (Nov 8, 2011 9:46:37 PM)
stage of infection or target of the infection. Even better I have found an inhibitor to that protein.

Paige Villawood (Nov 8, 2011 9:50:38 PM)
*She takes a breath, a hand running accross her eyes in an exhausted little gesture that speaks on a weariness that reaches right to her bones.* Long story short, I know how it works, how it's trasmitted, I've isolated the one recurring protein and an inhibitor to said protein, so I'm on the road to finding a treatment or hopefully a preventative so we can dose everyone up before they attack this guy. The only problem is that I got to the point where I just physically couldn't concentrate anymore.

Paige Villawood (Nov 8, 2011 9:51:42 PM)
(And on that big info splat I'm afk for a couple of mins so posting is finished!)

Samuel Quentin (Nov 8, 2011 9:53:20 PM)
*nods, he had been having something of a similar problem*

Paige Villawood (Nov 8, 2011 10:00:08 PM)
*Finally seeming to realise that all was not well with the two men she looks between them.* Has something happened while I've been stuck in the lab?

Samuel Quentin (Nov 8, 2011 10:03:12 PM)
*Sams weariness shows on his face* Defenses are one thing paige *shrugs* I seek the means to a more absolute solution

Paige Villawood (Nov 8, 2011 10:04:04 PM)
*She nods at that, her eyes falling on Samuel with open concern.* I can understand that Sam, but I don't think I've ever seen you so worried about something before. What's happened?

*he turns away and paces* I'm frustrated I guess, Isee and hear enemies around us but I lack the means to strike them down *his voice suggests he would enjoy that very much*

Chris Reimmer (Nov 8, 2011 10:06:59 PM)
*He sipped his can of beer and took a breath* Alright. Well I am trying to locate him through alternative means. But what Paige has found is key here. If we can even have a moment of immunity from his attack. We can undo him quickly. *he turned to Sam and grinned* You know Amel,it's funny you would say that. Something's been on my mind.

Samuel Quentin (Nov 8, 2011 10:08:09 PM)
*he turns to face him, his expression almost blank but vaguely curious*

Paige Villawood (Nov 8, 2011 10:08:27 PM)
*Taking the mug in quite obviously shaking hands she walks over to the table and takes a seat beside Chris, the cup placed on the hard surface before her to stop it from spilling.*

Darren Coleman (Nov 8, 2011 10:10:18 PM)
New Orleans' most mobile elohim at large, Darren moved quickly through the gardens proper; not spotting anyone of interest, he headed toward the cottage, and rapped with his usual light touch at the door. The Fiend was clad in his usual uniform of jeans, sweatshirt, and jacket, and still had his aviators on.

Samuel Quentin (Nov 8, 2011 10:10:28 PM)
whay am i not surprised

Chris Reimmer (Nov 8, 2011 10:11:48 PM)
*he laughed and shrugged* I guess some things never change.... I think you said that. *he shook his head* Anyways. I have something for you to use, while you get your command of your house gifts under your control again.

Chris Reimmer (Nov 8, 2011 10:11:59 PM)
*he smiled and sipped* A stop gap, if you will.

Samuel Quentin (Nov 8, 2011 10:12:17 PM)
*he raises an eyebrow*

Paige Villawood (Nov 8, 2011 10:12:31 PM)
*She sighs and stands up letting Chris continue with his plans as she starts towards the door. Opening it she spots Darren and gives him a wan little smile, the rabisu appearing very much the worse for wear this evening. A black business skirt crumpled, a white blouse is half untucked from it, her hair all tangles and falling around pale skin and deep dark circles under her eyes.* Evening Darren.

Samuel Quentin (Nov 8, 2011 10:13:34 PM)
*Sams eyes flick casually over to the door but his focus remains on chris*

Darren Coleman (Nov 8, 2011 10:13:40 PM)
"Hello, Paige." He glanced past her, spotting the other two Fallen, then pursed his lips in a quaint sort of smile. "May I come in? I was in the neighborhood."

Paige Villawood (Nov 8, 2011 10:14:29 PM)
Of course. *She smiles and steps to the side waving him through.* I was going to call you actually as soon as I got through a coffee, had a shower and changed clothes. Your samples were perfect.

Chris Reimmer (Nov 8, 2011 10:14:41 PM)
*He gestured with his head to the atrium* A weapon. *he looked out to the hall, hearing Darren's voice vaguely, his guard never really raising* A sword, of sorts.

Darren Coleman (Nov 8, 2011 10:16:09 PM)
"Really? Fortunate, given my utter lack of medical knowledge." He stepped in, then paused and stooped to remove his shoes. "I am eager to learn what you uncovered, though I can certainly wait until you've had time to attend to..." He trailed off, not sure what precisely to say, before rising. "Well, until you have relaxed to your satisfaction."

Samuel Quentin (Nov 8, 2011 10:16:21 PM)
*something sits in his eyes as a smile touches the corners of his lips.*of what sorts

Chris Reimmer (Nov 8, 2011 10:19:09 PM)
*he laughed quietly, nodding to the query* I knew you'd ask. It was left here by another elohom, one who has since fallen and returned... *his face darkening for a moment* To the Pit. Not a mundane weapon, but something tainted by the touch of our kind.

Samuel Quentin (Nov 8, 2011 10:20:23 PM)
*need is what sits in his eyes* how tainted *their kinds touch was not always delicate*

Paige Villawood (Nov 8, 2011 10:20:26 PM)
Come in and I'll give you the short hand. *She smiles a small exhausted expression to Darren, filling him in on what she'd already told the others as she guides him through to the kitchen.* 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 said protein, so after I get some rest I will head back to the lab and keep working on using the inhibitor as a basis to finding a treatment or creating a preventa

Paige Villawood (Nov 8, 2011 10:20:41 PM)
preventative that will protect from infection.

Chris Reimmer (Nov 8, 2011 10:22:06 PM)
*he furrowed his brow* Well, my understanding of the weapon is not perfect. I'll admit that openly. It sits in the atrium now. But one must have the hardest of resolves to lift the weapon. That was spoken when the elohim who previously owned it left it here. To lift it is to possess it, and that is not without it's price.

Darren Coleman (Nov 8, 2011 10:23:46 PM)
He listened, digesting most of it easily enough. "Promising. Did you glean any insight into the mystical facets?" He nodded to Chris and Samuel as he entered the kitchen, slipping his messenger bag off his shoulder. "Gentlemen."

Chris Reimmer (Nov 8, 2011 10:25:05 PM)

Amos Hunlun (Nov 8, 2011 10:25:05 PM)
[hello]

Paige Villawood (Nov 8, 2011 10:25:15 PM)
*She shakes her head at that and returns to her seat.* I haven't even started looking into that yet Darren, so far all my time has been spent on the physical symptons, and to be honest with you I can't find any link between all of you who got infected aside from the physical symptoms. I mean if there was delerium in each case, some kind of recurring vision it would give us somewhere to start.

Darren Coleman (Nov 8, 2011 10:26:58 PM)
Darren's eyebrow arched as he was the recipient of a single letter nickname, but he just nodded before looking back to Paige. With seats vacated, he took one, setting his bag on the ground. "Why do you find delerium to be so significant?" he asked quietly, brow furrowed.

Paige Villawood (Nov 8, 2011 10:29:22 PM)
*She watches after Chris and Sam, a puzzled little expression on her face before she shakes her head and looks back to Darren.* We know it was a sebetu who created this, we also know that we are naturally resistant to diseases and this was crafted specifically to attack the Fallen. What can he hope to achieve? Our bodies die and we find new ones. It seems a ridiculous waste of time unless he's using the virus in an attempt to get something more. The delirium and idea that people were being given a specific recurring image within the delirium seemed to me the first hint I've seen of the "something more" he could be after. Does that make sense or am I rambling? I haven't slept for three days, so it's entirely possible I'm rambling.

Darren Coleman (Nov 8, 2011 10:30:23 PM)
"Have... others suffered hallucinations due to the disease as well?" His brow was still creased, and his expression was a little more uneasy than usual.

Amos Hunlun (Nov 8, 2011 10:30:28 PM)
*Figuring it was time for a visit Amos made his way toward Paige’s cottage. It was sort of amusing to him to be going to her place at present since he had been the one running a rest home for wayward Infernals as of late. On the way there he stopped and picked up a flat of those mushrooms he and Paige had been working on as of late. Of course as ever those who paid attention sure could feel him approaching as he was the paranoid type and kept track of things despite what Pandora might think after one incident.*

Chris Reimmer (Nov 8, 2011 10:31:15 PM)
*Heading out into the garden and towards the rock pool, the item had been covered by some foliage, that the Lammasu pulled away. Revealing the machette like blade* There she is.

Paige Villawood (Nov 8, 2011 10:32:33 PM)
Not that I'm aware of Darren but I haven't actually -seen- anyone infected, I've only heard stories about it after the fact. *She smiles a little and reaches for her coffee.* But that is why I kept questioning you about the delirium, I'm looking for a comonality that exists beyond the physical symptoms.

Darren Coleman (Nov 8, 2011 10:33:33 PM)
"I can assure you that my own delirium was external to the disease symptoms," he said quickly, glancing down at the table. "It would be best not to include it in your comparisons."

Samuel Quentin (Nov 8, 2011 10:33:40 PM)
*he looks to chris curiously for a moment then reaches down to grab the weapon, he pauses just before doing so and then saying something under his breath takes it in his hand*

Paige Villawood (Nov 8, 2011 10:34:27 PM)
*Sipping at her coffee she watches him with her level gaze, her voice becoming soft as he looks down and away from her.* I'm sorry.... I didn't mean to pry.

Darren Coleman (Nov 8, 2011 10:35:19 PM)
"It is I who should apologize. I did not mean to set your work back." He glanced up, lips pressed together in a slim line.

Paige Villawood (Nov 8, 2011 10:36:27 PM)
You haven't. *She shakes her head a little as she continues to smile gently at him.* I honestly haven't even got past looking at the base makeup of the virus yet. I still tihnk it's strange though that it specifically attacks Fallen but only to offer the same symptoms as it does to mortals. It just doens't make any sense.

*he watched him and nodded, smirking* Looks like it fits. *he lowered his voice* The Fallen who left it here claimed it somehow contained part of our enemy Hawke's true name... but, that would be up to the man who possesses this blade to determine.

Darren Coleman (Nov 8, 2011 10:38:18 PM)
"He has referred to it as an 'experiment'; perhaps these early iterations are simpler than what he hopes to achieve. I am not fluent in viruses, but given how I characterize him, a piecemeal approach would fit."

Samuel Quentin (Nov 8, 2011 10:38:55 PM)
*sam raises back to his feet with the machete in hand, he runs an apraising eye along its edge then swings is it ina graceful and precise arc feeling its balance* It will do

Paige Villawood (Nov 8, 2011 10:39:43 PM)
Maybe. *She smiles a little and finishes her coffee, her hand reaching up to push the tangled hair back behind her ear.* I just know that it doesn't make any kind of logical sense, and I dislike things that don't have reasons behind them. Or rather reasons that I don't know, it makes me feel as though there is something I'm missing, and that something could be crucial.

Amos Hunlun (Nov 8, 2011 10:43:46 PM)
*At last Amos with flat of mushrooms in hand made his way to the little cottage. He let himself in all the same and peered around having heard voices.*

Darren Coleman (Nov 8, 2011 10:44:07 PM)
"I can certainly appreciate that sentiment," he said with a bit of a wry smirk, but it passed quickly, replaced by his usual thoughtfulness. "It is probable that this quarry is quite mad, Paige. While it is never unwise to consider all possibilities, I would not do so to a detriment in this instance. The faulty logic could simply be symptomatic of faulty logic."

Chris Reimmer (Nov 8, 2011 10:44:33 PM)
*he laughed and shrugged slowly* A trait of my house I suppose. Even I can't avoid every cliche it seems. *his eyes shifting back to the direction of the cottage, then back to Sam* Shall we return? *he smirked, maybe joking, maybe not* I don't like to leave her alone with other men if I have the choice.

Paige Villawood (Nov 8, 2011 10:46:11 PM)
*Paige sits at the table talking to Darren. A coffee mug in her shaking hands the rabisu's skin is unhealthily pale, large dark circles underneath her eyes while her clothing consists of the crumpled and untucked remnants of a fitted skirt and white blouse.* It could be, which is why I've put my efforts into finding a treatment or preventative. Once that yields fruit I'll start book searching through the library's looking into what exact ritual he could be using to activate this plague.

Samuel Quentin (Nov 8, 2011 10:46:34 PM)
*sam heads back t, he seems more relaxed, the machete sits comfortably in his grip pointing towards the ground he chuckles* Understandably

Darren Coleman (Nov 8, 2011 10:47:21 PM)
He nodded; the Fiend was seated at the table, no beverage, his messenger bag by his side on the floor. "If there is anything I can do to assist your research, do not hesitate to ask."

Paige Villawood (Nov 8, 2011 10:48:11 PM)
*She gives a little smile at that, her eyes flicking over to Darren.* How's your bio chem or lab skills?

Amos Hunlun (Nov 8, 2011 10:49:13 PM)
*Amos made his way in and set the flat of mushrooms on the table.* Hello guys *he then looked at Paige* and now I can tell you are realizing why we did not want to pass that particular *he made quote signs with his fingers* gift around all over the place. You look like hell sis.

Darren Coleman (Nov 8, 2011 10:50:06 PM)
"Non-existent. I was referring more to... acquiring things, or the like." A hint of a smirk. He looked up to Amos, and lifted a hand in greeting. "Hello, Amos."

Chris Reimmer (Nov 8, 2011 10:50:24 PM)
*he laughed and pushed the door to the cottage open, sliding his shoes off once more, his ears perking to the big cajun's voice. Interesting.*

Paige Villawood (Nov 8, 2011 10:50:41 PM)
*Shaking her head a little again, that air of gravity slips over her as she looks to him.* Seriously though Darren, I know that... well at least one person was really against you getting the samples for me and I really appreciate that you went ahead and did it anyway. None of my work would be possible without them. *At Amos voice she smiles and looks up to Amos.* Wait, which particular gift are we talking about and love you to cajun.

Darren Coleman (Nov 8, 2011 10:52:11 PM)
"I enjoy such endeavors, truth be told. It is good to have something to take pride in, and it is one of the few arenas in which Darren was ever accomplished." A smile, loose and thoughtful, limned his lips.

Paige Villawood (Nov 8, 2011 10:53:41 PM)
*Her eyes flick over to Darren a spark of excitement in them. Impossible to explain why the life of a reprobate appealed so much to the elegant botanist who had been born into priveledge, but it was something that Aideen at least, had stopped trying to understand.* Theft? Darren was a criminal?

Samuel Quentin (Nov 8, 2011 10:53:56 PM)
*Sam follows a pace or two behind Chris machete in hand he again raises it to inspect its edge as he walks in*

Darren Coleman (Nov 8, 2011 10:54:45 PM)
His eyes strayed to Amos, then to Chris and Samuel entering behind him, before alighting on Paige once more. He nodded. "A talented one, though his judgement and will were lacking."

Chris Reimmer (Nov 8, 2011 10:55:02 PM)
*He annoucned himself as he entered the little kithcen/dining area* Amos, good to see you. I /thought/ it felt a little tougher in here. *he smiled to the rabisu, looking over to Darren for an appraising moment, then to Paige*

Amos Hunlun (Nov 8, 2011 10:55:04 PM)
Hello Darren *he then looked at Paige and smirked* well I am assuming you have talked to Peyton my most recent house guest. *He shook his head* seems our Scourge friend refers to his pestilence as “gifts” well that and wanting to make Pey his plaything from the sound of it. *He sat down and began running his fingers over the caps of the mushrooms* his “experiments” are very contagious as you can see because well you got it. And we so do not need to start spreading the plague but I do hope you managed to glean something. *He then looked at her and smirked* want me to patch you up or is being ill offering you some enlightenment? *From his tone apparently the last sentence was a serious question.*

Samuel Quentin (Nov 8, 2011 10:56:51 PM)
*ams takes a seat and continues to inspect his new weapon, His tired eyes have something in them that says hes not really paying attention*

Paige Villawood (Nov 8, 2011 10:57:09 PM)
*She chuckles and shakes her head.* I didn't contract anything Amos. Darren got me samples and I've been in the lab for the last two days working on them. *The smile on her lips she leaned over to poke him in the stomach with an index finger.* And brother dearest I'm good enough at what I do to analyse the virus without getting myself infected. Now would -you- like to know exactly what kind of thing we're dealing with?

Amos Hunlun (Nov 8, 2011 10:57:20 PM)
Hey guys *he greeted the two new arrivals and went back to fiddling with the flat of mushrooms he had set on the table.*

Darren Coleman (Nov 8, 2011 10:57:40 PM)
His attention skirted to Sam; or rather, to the machete, which he peered at briefly and quizzically before turning his attention back to the conversation.

Paige Villawood (Nov 8, 2011 11:00:59 PM)
*Following Darren's gaze over to the blade weidling Sam she smiles with a little sigh in relief.* Thank god someone finally took it.

Peyton Broussard (Nov 8, 2011 11:00:59 PM)
*Wearing a 'too large' fisherman's sweater, jeans and work boots..her chestnut hair is in french braids that reach past her shoulders, she also wears a beret..she moves through the atrium with a smile on her face, always joyous to be among growing things*

Chris Reimmer (Nov 8, 2011 11:01:28 PM)
*he retook his seat next to Paige and picked up his beer that he had left on the table. Defensiveness creeping into his mind, he looked over to the botanist and smirked* It was just waiting for the right owner.

Paige Villawood (Nov 8, 2011 11:01:39 PM)
(Oh Pey sorry, we're in the cottage behind the atrium. Come on in :) Pey knows the way!)

Amos Hunlun (Nov 8, 2011 11:02:16 PM)
*Amos pretty much ignored the machete in Sam’s hand as he had been here when it was delivered so to speak.* Sure Paige all information is worth having so enlighten me. *He shrugged a bit* and you never answered did you speak with Peyton? She is about as safe at my place as I can make her but well the fellow is watching her and there are certain areas that I cannot defend against but I am doing my best.

Paige Villawood (Nov 8, 2011 11:02:24 PM)
*She chuckles and looks over to Chris, her eyes resting upon him for a long moment.* Well I'm glad it found the right one and hope they are very happy together -away- from my garden.

Samuel Quentin (Nov 8, 2011 11:02:49 PM)
*Sams expression darkens again*

Peyton Broussard (Nov 8, 2011 11:03:21 PM)
*She stops near the water, but since she doesn't see anyone she keeps on going eventually getting to the cottage, and smiles as she enters* Hey! Wow all my favorite people in one place!

Paige Villawood (Nov 8, 2011 11:03:25 PM)
*Her attention recalled by Amos she nods to him with a smile.* Yeah she left me a message, take care of her okay?

Paige Villawood (Nov 8, 2011 11:03:32 PM)
(brb!)

Darren Coleman (Nov 8, 2011 11:03:55 PM)
"I have conveyed as much to Peyton, but if you encounter any trouble while harboring her, do contact me. I can arrive quite quickly. Do you have my number?" All of that was directed at Amos.

Darren Coleman (Nov 8, 2011 11:04:29 PM)
Speak of the... Rabisu. Darren looked Pey's way, and nodded in greeting.

Peyton Broussard (Nov 8, 2011 11:04:41 PM)
*Peers at them as she enters the kitchen* Hey there...

Samuel Quentin (Nov 8, 2011 11:05:03 PM)
*Sam looks up at Peytons voice and he smilessetting the machete down*

Amos Hunlun (Nov 8, 2011 11:05:24 PM)
*He smiled a bit when Pey entered and answered Paige* she looks alright to me how about you? *He scooted to make room for Pey and player has no idea how many chairs there are. He then turned his attention back to the shrooms toying with them.* And enlighten me PAige it would be nice if I could make a plant that has an antidote but well I doubt such scale would be effective as contagious as it is.

Amos Hunlun (Nov 8, 2011 11:05:52 PM)
Got your number Darren and thanks for the offer

Peyton Broussard (Nov 8, 2011 11:06:15 PM)
*Smiles warmly to everyone and hugs Paige.. then walks over to Sam* Say.. what do you have there? *Grins over to Amos* So -those- are the 'famous 'shrooms" eh?

Peyton Broussard (Nov 8, 2011 11:06:32 PM)
*Then looks back at the weapon* That looks familiar

Samuel Quentin (Nov 8, 2011 11:07:59 PM)
*He shrugs ignoring it for now* How are you? sorry i missed your call

Amos Hunlun (Nov 8, 2011 11:08:06 PM)
Well so far *and then they could all feel a tick of sorts and Amos' eyes got a bit glassy sort of like a deer in the headlights and the mushrooms began to wave and move seemingly like a higher organism like an animal might.*

Darren Coleman (Nov 8, 2011 11:09:00 PM)
Darren watched Amos' work with an air of curiosity, lapsing into his usual quiet.

Peyton Broussard (Nov 8, 2011 11:09:24 PM)
*hugs Sam and smiles up to him* S'ok *Then looks over to the 'shrooms.. * Wow.. can you make them dance?

Paige Villawood (Nov 8, 2011 11:10:28 PM)
(And back)

Paige Villawood (Nov 8, 2011 11:12:24 PM)
Evening Pey, feel free to put on the kettle. *She smiles as Peyton steps inside, and she'd get up to greet her if she wasn't so insanely tired. Instead she leans her head to the side and rests it on Chris' shoulder doing her best to keep up with the conversations around her, deciding to tease her fellow rabbisu with a playful smile.* I thought you weren't that interested Amos.

Peyton Broussard (Nov 8, 2011 11:12:25 PM)
*Notices how tired Paige looks and frowns with concern* Paige, are you sick ?

Samuel Quentin (Nov 8, 2011 11:13:01 PM)
*sam looks around as if actually taking note of all of those present for the first time since entering the house, he flashes the mushrooms a curious glance and grabs his previously abanndoned beer

Paige Villawood (Nov 8, 2011 11:13:19 PM)
No I'm fine Pey. *She smiles and looks over to her.* Just beyond tired, I've been putting in lab time to look into the virus.

Amos Hunlun (Nov 8, 2011 11:13:23 PM)
Actually I slipped a bit of my conscious mind in them Peyton and basically right now I am seeing the world both through my host's body and well through the mushrooms. I am figuring by sharing with them as such I can recall how to make changes in plants according to my desires. I used to be able to do that back in the day. *He smiled* though got to be careful sometimes more mind ends up in plants than body and body is in a coma till I come back.

Chris Reimmer (Nov 8, 2011 11:14:22 PM)
*he leaned back a bit, watching the mushrooms, furrowing his brow. This was something he had no understanding of. He leaned slightly against Paige in response, looking to Sam and deciding to follow suit, sipping his beer* Yeah... switching out that body for a mushroom entirely might be a little counter productive *he smirked*

Peyton Broussard (Nov 8, 2011 11:14:36 PM)
*Her eyes spark with interest* That's fascinating.. do they communicate too?

Amos Hunlun (Nov 8, 2011 11:14:48 PM)
Keep it to yourself then sis *he answered Paige and blinked his gaze getting more glassy as he communed with the shrooms.*

Peyton Broussard (Nov 8, 2011 11:14:50 PM)
*Then turns to Paige* Did you find out anything?

Paige Villawood (Nov 8, 2011 11:14:55 PM)
*Feeling a suden urge to swallow one of the mushrooms simply to mess with Amos' mind she simply chuckles and shakes her head.*

Paige Villawood (Nov 8, 2011 11:15:40 PM)
I did yeah. *She smiles at Peyton with a nod taking a deep breath before she begins to reiterate the basic outlines of her early findings.* 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 said protein, so after I get some rest I will head back to the lab and keep working on using the inhibitor as a basis to finding a treatment or creating a preventative that will protect from infection.

Amos Hunlun (Nov 8, 2011 11:16:02 PM)
More like I am controlling them Peyton plants feel but really have no thoughts as best I can tell but maybe I can give them thoughts with enough work.

Darren Coleman (Nov 8, 2011 11:16:20 PM)
Beyond his initial interest, Darren seemed to loose focus on them after a bit. Instead, he took Paige's invitation to Pey to heart and rose, moving to the stove to retrieve the kettle and fill it at the sink. He paid passing attention to Paige's recounting of her research as he returned it to the burner and flipped on the heat.

Darren Coleman (Nov 8, 2011 11:17:10 PM)
initial interest in the mushrooms*

Peyton Broussard (Nov 8, 2011 11:17:22 PM)
Wow.. A vaccine would be really good to have.. but does the virus mutate?

Amos Hunlun (Nov 8, 2011 11:17:27 PM)
[*groans as the SL gets into his line of work* lalalalala I haer nothing!]

Peyton Broussard (Nov 8, 2011 11:17:59 PM)
((lol))

Paige Villawood (Nov 8, 2011 11:18:17 PM)
It does. *She nods and holds out her empty coffee cup towards Darren with a hopeful smile.* That's why isolating the recurrent protein was so important, and finding an inhibitor to it such a breakthrough.

Peyton Broussard (Nov 8, 2011 11:18:32 PM)
*nods* Do you need any help?

Darren Coleman (Nov 8, 2011 11:19:03 PM)
He slipped to take the mug, and rinsed it before setting it on the counter. He took that as permission to rifle through the cabinets for her supply of tea.

Paige Villawood (Nov 8, 2011 11:19:44 PM)
If you have any lab experience sure. *She smiles at Pey hopefully apparently not only content for Darren to riffle her cupboards but encouraging him to do so and bring fresh coffee to the table.* Any bio chem experience would be amazing.

Chris Reimmer (Nov 8, 2011 11:20:33 PM)
*he looked to Peyton* It seems like it does. Whatever you guys got, was worse than what I got weeks ago. If we can have some kind of vaccine, we should hold off on using it until we have a plan ready. And use it once when we intend to take him down, rather than play our hand piece-meal

Amos Hunlun (Nov 8, 2011 11:21:17 PM)
Vaccine would be nice, but until we remove our little friend I fear it is kind of pointless because he will just cook up a newer strain. *He scowled* of course vaccinating against what he has aleady let out could do nothing but help. Could maybe even use say our skill with plants *a couple of the mushrooms caressed both Pey and Paige before Amos blinked a few times and the mushrooms returned to their normal nature.*

Peyton Broussard (Nov 8, 2011 11:21:18 PM)
*sighs* Nope, I know a little first aid stuff is all but I am going to change that soon *Looks to Chris when he speaks* You are pretty optimistic, I like that

Peyton Broussard (Nov 8, 2011 11:21:57 PM)
*SMiles at the mushroom* Amos, maybe you can teach them to dance

Chris Reimmer (Nov 8, 2011 11:22:47 PM)
*he perked a brow and looked over* That was optimisitc? I guess so... that it would work only once, rather than not at all.

Darren Coleman (Nov 8, 2011 11:22:49 PM)
Once the water was boiling, he'd go to work fixing some coffee while he let his tea steep. He'd return the refilled cup to her a moment later. "Preparing a vaccine and having those with evocations that can mitigate disease in concert will be our safest bet," he intoned blandly before going to fetch his tea.

Samuel Quentin (Nov 8, 2011 11:22:57 PM)
*Sam looks about the room his gaze lingering slightly longer on Peyton than the others then turns to chris with his tired eyes and his hand wanders back to the hilt of the sword*I must be going old friend * he finishes his beer and rises heading for the door machete in hand

Amos Hunlun (Nov 8, 2011 11:23:02 PM)
*Eyes clearer he looked at Pey* that was me. SImply using them as an extension of myself.

Paige Villawood (Nov 8, 2011 11:23:31 PM)
*She smiles and shakes her head.* Well first I have to find a vaccine, at the moment all I have is a single cell protein, but the fact that it exists in a stable state despite the way the virus mutates is a boring clue I know, but a huge clue nonetheless.

Chris Reimmer (Nov 8, 2011 11:23:47 PM)
*he nodded to the devil* Alright, see ya later Sam. We'll have to catch up again real soon. *he paused a moment watching him head out* Have some other things to talk about.

Darren Coleman (Nov 8, 2011 11:24:31 PM)
Darren offered a valedictory nod to Samuel, before taking his first sip of tea. He opted to lean against the counter, now, rather than return to the table.

Samuel Quentin (Nov 8, 2011 11:24:31 PM)
*he nods as he walks in response*

Paige Villawood (Nov 8, 2011 11:24:35 PM)
*She smiles and waves to Samuel as he leaves.* You know you're welcome here any time day or night Sam.

Peyton Broussard (Nov 8, 2011 11:24:50 PM)
*Watches Sam.. and speaks softly* See you, Sam

Paige Villawood (Nov 8, 2011 11:25:15 PM)
*Taking the cup from Darren she murmurs a thanks with a quick smile, the trembling hands wrapping around it and holding it close as she continues to rest her head upon Chris' shoulder.*

Samuel Quentin (Nov 8, 2011 11:25:17 PM)
*he glances over his shoulder* dont be a stranger

Amos Hunlun (Nov 8, 2011 11:25:37 PM)
See you Sam *he waved and then looked to the others* well I think having vaccines ready before taking on the fellow is a good idea because it would be seriously hard to fight in air packs and I am not sure I have enough energy to heal everyone up. But yeah that is my point old scabby or whatever we want to call him so he does not hear can just keep making better cases of the clap so to speak unless we deal with him.

Peyton Broussard (Nov 8, 2011 11:25:58 PM)
I won't *smiles to him* After this is over you are going to be tired of me I thnk

Samuel Quentin (Nov 8, 2011 11:26:34 PM)
Somehow i doubt that *he closes the door behind him*

Samuel Quentin (Nov 8, 2011 11:26:47 PM)
(This user has moved to OOC Room) (IP = 99.225.12.142)

Peyton Broussard (Nov 8, 2011 11:27:07 PM)
*The color rises to her cheeks as she looks away, then over to Chris* No, I meant you are optimistic about killing him

Chris Reimmer (Nov 8, 2011 11:28:19 PM)
*he laughed and looked over* Anythign can be killed.

Peyton Broussard (Nov 8, 2011 11:28:35 PM)
*shrugs* I hope I am there, that's all

Paige Villawood (Nov 8, 2011 11:28:41 PM)
*She nods as they all speak of the need for vaccines, sipping at her coffee with a little sigh.* I'm doing my best.

Chris Reimmer (Nov 8, 2011 11:30:19 PM)
*he looked over to Amos* His mortal name is Harold. *he nodded at that and sipped his beer again*

Peyton Broussard (Nov 8, 2011 11:30:56 PM)
But is he the one who changes bodies or something?

Amos Hunlun (Nov 8, 2011 11:31:32 PM)
I think we need to be finding a way to kill him as much as a good shot. *He then looked to Pey* and you do know that if Sam wants to watch over you I can whip up some things to help cover you two wherever the two of you might choose to hide? *He apparently was giving Pey an out in case her crashing at his place was causing "issues"*

Amos Hunlun (Nov 8, 2011 11:32:25 PM)
Thanks Chris and Pey gave me is real name *he smiled a bit.* And no Pey that was the Lady Killer and that one has been disposed of a little bird told me.

Peyton Broussard (Nov 8, 2011 11:32:26 PM)
*Shrugs* It's ok for right now..

Peyton Broussard (Nov 8, 2011 11:32:45 PM)
Ahh *nods* Of course

Amos Hunlun (Nov 8, 2011 11:33:00 PM)
You sure Peyton? *He grinned* Sam has a big ass knife and I cut really easy *he said in a teasing tone.*

Darren Coleman (Nov 8, 2011 11:33:16 PM)
"I believe two to three competent melee fighters prepared for the methods of a Scourge could defeat him easily enough, provided we covered all routes of escape, which is easy enough." That bit of murmuring directed to Amos.

Chris Reimmer (Nov 8, 2011 11:33:21 PM)
*he nodded to that as well* Yeah, the Lady Killer has been removed. *he sipped his beer, smiling to himself, the memory of that last fight exciting him slightly*

Peyton Broussard (Nov 8, 2011 11:33:26 PM)
*laughs* I'm sure, believe me.. but yeah that's a pretty big knife

Darren Coleman (Nov 8, 2011 11:33:44 PM)
His brow lifted. "Lady Killer?"

Peyton Broussard (Nov 8, 2011 11:35:24 PM)
*Her mind races.. no longer sure of much of anything when it comes to human relationships.. she feels safer not even addressing the issue,, she eyes the mushrooms again, wishing they could dance like in the movie 'Fantasia' *

Amos Hunlun (Nov 8, 2011 11:35:50 PM)
*He nodded agreement to Darren* true, we need to figure out where he is though and how to set a proper trap. That is the sort of intelligence that is really needed right now. I am good at sneaking and peeking but I have nada to go on right now as to where to look. *He then smirked at Pey* well make sure you lock your room door and wear a chastity belt so he does not stick the big knife up the good Rabisu's ass.

Peyton Broussard (Nov 8, 2011 11:36:34 PM)
*laughs* We aren't going steady or anything, but I will wear my chastity belt in any case

Chris Reimmer (Nov 8, 2011 11:37:00 PM)
*he looked over to Darren* Yeah, just a baddie we were dealing with. But it's all taken care of now. *he looked to Amos* I'm trying to track him through his mortal host's connections. See if he might be using them for shelter or as thralls.

Paige Villawood (Nov 8, 2011 11:37:20 PM)
*She chuckles and looks betwen Amos and Peyton before her eyes flick back to Chris and Darren.* I'm going to leave the plots for his demise in your hands and focus on that vaccine.

Darren Coleman (Nov 8, 2011 11:37:41 PM)
He nodded. "I am similarly skilled, but similarly uncertain where to look." A nod, when Chris spoke, then a sip. "Once we generate leads, we can investigate easily enough."

Peyton Broussard (Nov 8, 2011 11:38:12 PM)
Julia told me last night that he can pretty much watch anyone at any time

Peyton Broussard (Nov 8, 2011 11:38:34 PM)
She figures him to be a slayer..

Paige Villawood (Nov 8, 2011 11:38:47 PM)
I'd be suprised if that were the case Pey.

Chris Reimmer (Nov 8, 2011 11:38:55 PM)
*he looked over and furrowed his brow* Now, how would she know that? *he tilted his head a moment* Can they do that?

Peyton Broussard (Nov 8, 2011 11:38:56 PM)
Really?

Peyton Broussard (Nov 8, 2011 11:39:14 PM)
Yeah she said they can... *Looks to Paige*

Chris Reimmer (Nov 8, 2011 11:39:24 PM)
Selma told me, when she healed me from his first attack, that it was a scourge that was responsible.

Peyton Broussard (Nov 8, 2011 11:39:32 PM)
Hmm

Peyton Broussard (Nov 8, 2011 11:39:35 PM)
hinteresting

Paige Villawood (Nov 8, 2011 11:39:44 PM)
*She nods and points to Chris.* My money is on a scourge.

Peyton Broussard (Nov 8, 2011 11:39:44 PM)
maybe there is more than one?

Chris Reimmer (Nov 8, 2011 11:39:45 PM)
*he shrugged* But I wouldn't personally know, either way.

Peyton Broussard (Nov 8, 2011 11:40:02 PM)
But how did he know where I would be?

Darren Coleman (Nov 8, 2011 11:40:16 PM)
"It seems quite probable that he is a Scourge," Darren agreed.

Peyton Broussard (Nov 8, 2011 11:40:39 PM)
I think he is clairvoyant.. *shivers and rubs her arms*

Paige Villawood (Nov 8, 2011 11:40:52 PM)
he might have simply been following you. *She sips at her coffee once more.* Either way, he has far too good an understanding of disease to be a halaku.

Peyton Broussard (Nov 8, 2011 11:41:04 PM)
He was there before I got there

Peyton Broussard (Nov 8, 2011 11:41:25 PM)
And I hadn't even planned on going there

Paige Villawood (Nov 8, 2011 11:41:43 PM)
Perhaps it was just simply luck and he recognised you from your previous encounter with him?

Peyton Broussard (Nov 8, 2011 11:42:07 PM)
I don't think so.. *Looks at her* I really don't

Chris Reimmer (Nov 8, 2011 11:42:52 PM)
*he perked a brow at Peyton* So you are arguing that the most reasonable explaination is that he can see all?

Peyton Broussard (Nov 8, 2011 11:42:59 PM)
e on as soon as I can

Peyton Broussard (Nov 8, 2011 11:43:06 PM)
(( dlp))

Peyton Broussard (Nov 8, 2011 11:43:39 PM)
*SHrugs* I am arguing that he didn't follow me, and that I think he was laying in wait for me

Paige Villawood (Nov 8, 2011 11:44:13 PM)
Either way, he like the Lady Killer can be killed, we just want to minimise the damage of moving against him.

Amos Hunlun (Nov 8, 2011 11:44:38 PM)
(This user has left DigiChat) (IP = 166.249.130.249)

Darren Coleman (Nov 8, 2011 11:44:49 PM)
A touch of impatience slipped into the Fiend's countenance, and he took a long sip of tea. "Precisely," he commented, nodding Paige's way.

Peyton Broussard (Nov 8, 2011 11:44:56 PM)
*nods* Definitely.. I am relieved he is not halaku.. I didn't like the idea of him skulking around listening to us whenever

Chris Reimmer (Nov 8, 2011 11:45:24 PM)
*he nodded to Paige, and spoke to Peyton* The mortal host he possessed was apparently a bit of a *he smirked* Well, he /was/ a perverted old timer. He may be specifically targetting you Peyton, part of the scourge's mind being wrapped into that of Harold. Fixating on a pretty girl.

Peyton Broussard (Nov 8, 2011 11:45:52 PM)
*nods* Yeah he was kind of .. well.. nasty

Darren Coleman (Nov 8, 2011 11:46:33 PM)
"He did seem... attracted to you, in a way, during our skirmish. I think it is fairly safe to assume that is why he targeted you rather than me, and he has focused anger on Julia rather than prurient interest."

*Sitting upright she looks over to Chris, her mind slowly catching up.* Can you tell us about him? Anything, no matter how small, might be helpful?

Chris Reimmer (Nov 8, 2011 11:49:05 PM)
*he leaned back to be able to look directly at Paige a moment, speaking a little slowly as he tried to drdge up the info* Well, he was alone, at the care home. Never any visitors. Notorious among the nurses for being kind of a creep. Trying to touch them and stuff. While investigating his room, I found his stash of back issues of 'Barely Legal'. So he definitely was a lusty old koot. *he paused thinking some more* I went to the hospital where they took him when the disease first showed up. He was apparently the most sick, and then, just walked out of the room. Totally fine.

Chris Reimmer (Nov 8, 2011 11:50:03 PM)
There was infernal resonance in the room. A very curious resonance. *he looked to the others* But, there's a bit of an inconsistency. Unless he could make himself sick, it would seem like Harold died in the hospital and was possessed then. Meaning, there would have been a 'first mover'

Paige Villawood (Nov 8, 2011 11:50:08 PM)
But we think he had the same virus that I've been looking into? The one you first got?

Amos Hunlun (Nov 8, 2011 11:50:19 PM)

Chris Reimmer (Nov 8, 2011 11:50:23 PM)
*he looked to Darren* Perhaps, the 'teacher' as you mentioned earlier

Chris Reimmer (Nov 8, 2011 11:50:43 PM)
*he looked to Paige, nodding* It has the same symptoms, but was less virulent then

Darren Coleman (Nov 8, 2011 11:50:48 PM)
He nodded, looking... well, his expression was hard to read. "That certainly supports my theory."

Amos Hunlun (Nov 8, 2011 11:51:11 PM)
*Amos for now was content to be silent and listen messing a bit more with the mushrooms but the fungi did nothing odd this time*

Paige Villawood (Nov 8, 2011 11:51:34 PM)
*She bites on her bottom lip as she thinks, nodding in responce to Chris' words.* He can't have just escaped from the Abyss, he must have been walking the city before hand, something went wrong and he jumped into Harolds body because there was no other choice. *She looks around the table.* I don't suppose anyone has any idea of how to find out if there were any mysterious deaths near the hospital the night Harold suddenly got "well:

"?

Peyton Broussard (Nov 8, 2011 11:52:25 PM)
Paige, do you think there is any protection if someone has already had the virus?

Darren Coleman (Nov 8, 2011 11:52:47 PM)
"Reviewing newspapers from the days surrounding that date would be plausible, if no one has access to police or medical contacts." A shrug.

Paige Villawood (Nov 8, 2011 11:53:26 PM)
*She shakes her head to Peyton.* I wouldn't think so. I can take a blood sample from all of you who have been infected and make it my next test to see if you've developed any natural antibodies?

Paige Villawood (Nov 8, 2011 11:53:55 PM)
*She grins at Darren, her head tilting to the side in question.* I don't suppose.....?

Peyton Broussard (Nov 8, 2011 11:54:01 PM)
*nods* that sounds good.. Amos.. when you were healing us.. did you actually catch the virus?

Darren Coleman (Nov 8, 2011 11:54:19 PM)
His head tilted slightly. "You do not suppose what?"

Amos Hunlun (Nov 8, 2011 11:54:35 PM)
Yes I got it as well and the last item was to take care of myself.

Peyton Broussard (Nov 8, 2011 11:55:01 PM)
I thought I remembered that.. it would be great if we had developed anti-bodies

Paige Villawood (Nov 8, 2011 11:55:08 PM)
*She chuckles.* You could look into it? *Standing up she almost groans as she gets to her feet, starting out of the room and towards her office.* Back in a moment, just need my bag.

Amos Hunlun (Nov 8, 2011 11:55:11 PM)
I could use my police contacts and I will but I doubt they are much good for myserious deaths unles foul play was suspected

Peyton Broussard (Nov 8, 2011 11:55:50 PM)
I wouldn't rule out foul play.. this guy is really out of the box

Paige Villawood (Nov 8, 2011 11:55:50 PM)
(brb!)

Chris Reimmer (Nov 8, 2011 11:56:18 PM)
*He thought a moment* I am thinking its still a possibility that Harold is scourge number two. And that the first one, who infected Howard was perhaps bringing an old ally out of the pit.

Amos Hunlun (Nov 8, 2011 11:56:21 PM)
All we can do is see *he shrugged*

Chris Reimmer (Nov 8, 2011 11:56:41 PM)
(Sorry, not Howard)

Chris Reimmer (Nov 8, 2011 11:56:48 PM)
(harold, Howard is someone else)

Darren Coleman (Nov 8, 2011 11:56:49 PM)
"Ah, I certainly can attempt it..." Nodding, then glancing to Amos. "It was likely sudden, if this theory pans out. Law enforcement is typically among first responders in such instances. It is, as they say, worth a shot."

Peyton Broussard (Nov 8, 2011 11:57:05 PM)
*Arcs a brow at Chris* That makes a lot of sense to me
