(got it!)
Derek Aerics (Nov 23, 2010 11:07:25 PM)
*he walked out of the house, clearly disgusted by the whole evening, shaking his head, he picked up a rock and threw it as far as he could.*
Sophie Willows (Nov 23, 2010 11:08:31 PM)
*Sophie walks outside and into the grounds, her heals sinking into the grass a little with each step so that she stops and takes them off. Holding them both in her left hand, a gentle smile upon her lips she looks around for Derek, spotting him and starting towards him.* Derek. You have no idea what you walked out on, I believe war has been declared between the Aurochs and Eagles. The Lord Harrier has sadly missteped.
Derek Aerics (Nov 23, 2010 11:09:05 PM)
*he turns to her, she can see he is livid but clearly not at her* children sophie.. children.
Sophie Willows (Nov 23, 2010 11:11:03 PM)
*She laughs, and that sound of her tinkling voice seems to try and physically sweep the anger from his eyes and frown from his face.* Oh clearly! The Eagles responded poorly and the Aurochs grossly overstepped themselves, at least I think Sav is enjoying herself. She'll store up this gossip for a great deal of time to come. *She steps up to him, the smile never leaving her lips.* And with the two ministry's at eachothers throats and your behaviour so beyond reproach this evening, it puts the Lions in a strong position.
Derek Aerics (Nov 23, 2010 11:11:51 PM)
*he chuckles and looks at her putthing his hands on her shoulders, but in a clearly mundane way.* what would I do without you .. pointing out the positives.
Sophie Willows (Nov 23, 2010 11:12:53 PM)
*She smiles enchantingly up at him* I think you have done very well without me so far, though now you are stuck with me... having officially accepted me before the Tyrant and whole court.
Derek Aerics (Nov 23, 2010 11:13:30 PM)
*he chuckled, putting his hands to his side* thats a good thing.. now.. I agree about that thrall.. I about nearly took her head off.
Sophie Willows (Nov 23, 2010 11:14:52 PM)
*She smiles and nods.* It seemed that threatening the girl silently was enough to bring the woman back into line, and since I imagine she will be difficult in the future.... if we were to learn of the girls address and place of work it would act as an excellent insurance policy.
Derek Aerics (Nov 23, 2010 11:15:23 PM)
*he nods* I agree... if the warders and eagles are too busy fighting, then we will do what must be done.
Sophie Willows (Nov 23, 2010 11:16:30 PM)
James should have access to police databases, if we can get the girls name. *She bites down a little on her bottom lip as she thinks.* Unfortunately I am -not- the most stealthy of our kind, and honestly any attempt of mine to follow her would fail miserably.
Derek Aerics (Nov 23, 2010 11:17:05 PM)
we'll get it.. we have time. *he looked back at the house* wonder when they're gonna go apoc and blow up the manse.
Sophie Willows (Nov 23, 2010 11:18:09 PM)
*Her eyes sparkle as she takes a step towards a nearby tree and leans back against it, the wind blowing gently around her to play with her hair.* Perhaps it would do them good Derek. The Harrier would have us act like frightened children, perhaps taking on his true form would remind him of who he truly is.
Derek Aerics (Nov 23, 2010 11:19:19 PM)
*he just shakes his head* i'm not going to stop being me for him.
Sophie Willows (Nov 23, 2010 11:20:30 PM)
No. *She reaches up to pluck a leaf from an overhanging branch above her.* Neither shall I, the Harrier harms his position by demanding an obediance that will not be given to him.
Derek Aerics (Nov 23, 2010 11:21:59 PM)
*he laughed* not by us anyway.
Derek Aerics (Nov 23, 2010 11:23:13 PM)
anyway.. i talked to tyrant.. we're gonna hold off on maskim for the moment... aswan gave me some new info tonight.. but even he says its suspect.. and I'm getting sick of people telling me they got info from someone but wont say who.
Sophie Willows (Nov 23, 2010 11:24:22 PM)
*She smiles at him as he speaks.* That's because they fear you, with good reason. You are the representative of the martial strength of this court. The Tyrant says she wants to talk to me about Maksim in private... what information did Swan have?
Derek Aerics (Nov 23, 2010 11:25:42 PM)
that maskim wants to kill the lantern bearer infront of tyrant and then turn on tyrant and kill her.
Derek Aerics (Nov 23, 2010 11:25:54 PM)
*snorts* they're not scared of me.. thier egos are too big.
Sophie Willows (Nov 23, 2010 11:27:27 PM)
That will change Derek. The Lions will become such that they cannot help but fear you, whether they admit it or not. *She twirls the leaf between her fingers.* That's entirely possible, but .... as we said yesterday, if we could offer Maksim an alternative court, he would have no need to challenge our Tyrant.
Derek Aerics (Nov 23, 2010 11:28:04 PM)
i mentioned that actually.. and she didnt seem big on the idea... and there are courts in other parts of the state anyway.
Sophie Willows (Nov 23, 2010 11:30:00 PM)
Of course she isn't excited about it. Having a strong leader in a sister court will keep her constantly on her toes. *Sophie smiles the leaf continually twirling around in her fingers.* But she -should- be on her toes. Do you want me to drop the idea or attempt to persuade her to seek a diplomatic solution when I meet with her?
Derek Aerics (Nov 23, 2010 11:32:17 PM)
*rubs his hand over his chin* we'd have to displace the lord of whatever court and thats not going to happen... it doesnt sound like maskim wants to be diplomatic about it.. nothing that i have heard anyway... but.. at this pt the lord tyrant does NOT want to seek an overt solution to maskim.
Sophie Willows (Nov 23, 2010 11:34:31 PM)
He is too well connected and too powerful an overt solution even if successful could have repurcussions. *She nods and drops the leaf to the ground letting it get caught up by the wind and drift away.* Derek.... with regards to the girl, perhaps it would be wise if we began a database that wasn't known about outside of the Lions, a list of everyone's addresses... just in case.
Derek Aerics (Nov 23, 2010 11:35:06 PM)
*he nodded* its a bit out of our scope of responsiblity, but .... it cant hurt.
Sophie Willows (Nov 23, 2010 11:35:59 PM)
*She grins at that, an imp of mischief dancing in her eyes.* Well no one would question us stepping outside of our scope of responsibility if they don't know about it.
Derek Aerics (Nov 23, 2010 11:36:19 PM)
*he laughed* your bad.. *tilt of the head* i like it.
Derek Aerics (Nov 23, 2010 11:37:09 PM)
we need to meet with james again.. your ideas are making my mind start thinking.. i want to be proactive.. not reactive.
Sophie Willows (Nov 23, 2010 11:38:04 PM)
*She smiles and nods, a glow coming to her as she see's Derek becoming inspired, feeling her true nature satisfied in a deep wordless way.* I can call him now?
Derek Aerics (Nov 23, 2010 11:38:44 PM)
*he nods* alright.
Sophie Willows (Nov 23, 2010 11:40:33 PM)
*Sophie tilts her head back raising her eyes up to the sky above as she speaks wordlessly, her lips moving in silence as she evokes James' name and calls him to them. Looking back at Derek she reaches up and hooks blonde hair back behind her ear.* I have called him. It is best he knows of what has happened tonight, since who knows what the results of it all will be.

Derek Aerics (Nov 23, 2010 11:41:11 PM)
i have some unrealstic ideas i need to make more realsitic to be plausable.
Sophie Willows (Nov 23, 2010 11:41:56 PM)
Unrealistic ideas? *She watches him curiously.*
Derek Aerics (Nov 23, 2010 11:42:14 PM)
yeah use of security cameras at major pts in the city.
Sophie Willows (Nov 23, 2010 11:42:59 PM)
*Sophie wearing her short red satin dress stands barefoot in the grounds, her discarded heals beside her as she leans back against a willow tree and looks to Derek.* There are already security cameras around the city aren't there? CCTV or something? If we could find and enslave the right mortal, we should be able to get access to them.
Derek Aerics (Nov 23, 2010 11:43:47 PM)
i bet james would know.
Sophie Willows (Nov 23, 2010 11:44:21 PM)
*She laughs at that her eyes sparkling.* I bet not only would he know, but he'd also know exactly who we need to bring under our protection to access them.
Derek Aerics (Nov 23, 2010 11:44:43 PM)
*he chuckled a bit evily* well.. this could .. be beneficial
James Laurence (Nov 23, 2010 11:45:22 PM)
*He'll pull up to the plantation house in the charger and stepping out of the car he walked around and tossed a bag into the back of the car. He had been doing some training at work, and had been on his way home when he got the call from sophie. He was dressed in a tank top and had thrown on a pair of jeans as well. As he looked around and made his way towards Sophie and Derek eventually*
Sophie Willows (Nov 23, 2010 11:46:10 PM)
*She waves towards James, her eyes flicking back to Derek, the smile almost continually upon her lips.* Speak of the devil and he shall appear.
Derek Aerics (Nov 23, 2010 11:46:24 PM)
*he had to laugh at the use of the expression.*
Sophie Willows (Nov 23, 2010 11:47:38 PM)
(guys I just have to say ooc that I am -so- glad Soph joined the lions! :) )
James Laurence (Nov 23, 2010 11:47:42 PM)
Hey Sophie, Derek. *He rolled his shoulders as he walked up to them*
Derek Aerics (Nov 23, 2010 11:48:00 PM)
(cool!!)
Derek Aerics (Nov 23, 2010 11:48:07 PM)
*he looeked over at james* hey copper.
James Laurence (Nov 23, 2010 11:48:34 PM)
no no, im a fed, not a copper, heh *He smirked*
Sophie Willows (Nov 23, 2010 11:48:37 PM)
*Her eyes sparkling she looks to James.* I got to see court functioning for the first time James.... it was ... unexpected.
Derek Aerics (Nov 23, 2010 11:49:05 PM)
*uses a hand to motion toward sophie* soph.. enlighten james.. your more ..eligent then i could be about it.
James Laurence (Nov 23, 2010 11:49:45 PM)
*He smiled as he met Sophie's eyes and nodded* Well I hope you enjoyed. So what are we needing me for
Derek Aerics (Nov 23, 2010 11:50:10 PM)
oh no james... you havent heard it yet.
Derek Aerics (Nov 23, 2010 11:50:18 PM)
your gonna love this shit
Sophie Willows (Nov 23, 2010 11:51:01 PM)
*She laughs at that.* First we had a new fallen come to the city, I won't say her name because she only gave us her celestial name and I'd rather she didn't overhear it. She was beyond rude to the Tyrant and court in general, we only quietened her when we threatened to kill her thrall. Then we had the Lord Harrier declaring that we aren't allowed to use any of our ability's in public places, no matter how subtly. We of course all tried to persuade him that that was unreasonable, and we weren't going to skulk in shadows like frightened children, but he refused to listen. So Swan told him point blank that he was going to use powers whenever and wherever he wanted to and threatened to kill him.
James Laurence (Nov 23, 2010 11:52:21 PM)
Well as though Swan isnt pissing off enough people as it is. But the Lord Harrier is going abit overboard with this declaration
Derek Aerics (Nov 23, 2010 11:53:01 PM)
i walked out.. i had enough of listening to them have a testosterone war.
Sophie Willows (Nov 23, 2010 11:53:36 PM)
Things are beyond tense between those two ministries now, which gives us the opportunity to use the latitude we have. James and I were thinking of creating a secret database, purely for the Lions to know about and - no one - else of everyone's addresses... just in case, including thralls, since that threat worked so well. And Derek was thinking it would be good if we could gain permanant access to the CCTV cameras in the city.
Derek Aerics (Nov 23, 2010 11:53:56 PM)
(derek .. not james)
Sophie Willows (Nov 23, 2010 11:54:22 PM)
(Yeah sorry my bad!)
Derek Aerics (Nov 23, 2010 11:56:43 PM)
we also need an armory
Sophie Willows (Nov 23, 2010 11:57:30 PM)
Do we have the resources to buy one or should we look at stealing one?
James Laurence (Nov 23, 2010 11:57:55 PM)
The traffic cam's Im not sure about this city in particular, but alot of them are I believe only activated by people either speeding or running the lights, im not sure.... but I can access them as needed presently... your best bet though might be to one, access the webcams set up all around the city, especially the french quarter, and keep monitoring them... and set up some of your own... The traffic cam system also only keeps track of high traffic area's.... As for weapons I have a small armory of them and still building.... Handguns, and shotguns for now, but with some extra cash I can get more weaponry... I have access to law enforcement grade gear.
Derek Aerics (Nov 23, 2010 11:57:57 PM)
you cant really steal an armory.
