**Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, whome ever your with... something makes you pause. Something with enough power sends a shiver through the cobweb of energies that wrap about the city on unseen gossemer threads. You feel it emanating from the city like a call for aid, rather than a shockwave of power or a demand to attention.**

**The evening is unsettled already, with the air crisp and clean, though carrying the static of a distant storm**
Jeff Pines (Nov 3, 2011 7:01:38 AM)
*Jeff was working on a car and immediatelly gets out from under it, washes his hands, quickly changes into clean clothes and speeds on his own souped up old sedan towards the region where he felt that call for help coming from...*

Isabella Perez (Nov 3, 2011 7:03:10 AM)
Sitting upright in the little coffee shop she was at, she mutters a blistering curse as she unfolds herself and puts her tennis shoes back on. Slipping the plain blue ribbon into her book, she closed it and slides it back into her purse before slinging the bag over her shoulder. ((and then proceeds to walk into a wall >.<))

Paige Villawood (Nov 3, 2011 7:05:36 AM)
*Paige stops while driving along the street, pulling the van over to the side of the road and killing the engine. The seatbelt unbuckled she ducks forwards to peer out the window while she extends her senses.*
Jeff Pines (Nov 3, 2011 7:05:43 AM)

Jeff Pines (Nov 3, 2011 7:07:39 AM)
*Takes the appropriate turns heading to the university as well... And worries... Wasn't Eva watching some classes there right now?*
Isabella Perez (Nov 3, 2011 7:08:17 AM)
Shaking off the fogginess of her brain, she turns and whispers low under her breath, walking up the street and deeper into the district.
Paige Villawood (Nov 3, 2011 7:08:43 AM)
*Getting a feel for the area she starts up the engine, seatbelt rebuckled as she makes her way towards the familira ground of the university.* (going to load up lore of wilds mind map if that's okay Legion?)

Jeff Pines (Nov 3, 2011 7:11:59 AM)

(7 dice re-rolling 10's I would just have to fail! )
Isabella Perez (Nov 3, 2011 7:12:50 AM)
Spying the familiar vehicle, Isabella hurries her step up to catch up to the door, opening it and slipping inside. Her purse thuds against the door when she shuts it, but she drops it into the floorboards to buckle herself in. ((3 sux on the last call))
Jeff Pines (Nov 3, 2011 7:13:25 AM)
*Takes off towards the U, speeding again* Recognize anything about it? Feels like a call for help...
Legion (Nov 3, 2011 7:13:36 AM)
Jeff - you're not overly familair with the university, but the 'call' is coming from somewhere inside, you're sure of it
Isabella Perez (Nov 3, 2011 7:14:34 AM)
"All I can feel is that it keeps getting stronger, whatever the call is. It's not something I'm overly familiar with, I do not suppose."
Paige Villawood (Nov 3, 2011 7:15:03 AM)
*Paige pulls up and parks in the reserved area near the front. Jumping out of the car she locks the door behind her and sweeps the dark hair back over her shoulder as she begins to look about.* (going to try another aware since the LoW failed me)

Jeff Pines (Nov 3, 2011 7:15:43 AM)
*He nods in asnwer to Isa and parks at the visitor's parking lot, then heads inside the building that seems to be originating that call, waiting for Isa to keep up with him. He also feels someone trying to do something and quickly swivels his head towards Paige, relaxing when he sees it was her.*
Legion (Nov 3, 2011 7:16:34 AM)
((hold up, according to SI time, the uni is closed, just give me a sec to 'paint it'))
Paige Villawood (Nov 3, 2011 7:16:46 AM)
*Spotting the two she waves over to them as she strides towards them, the relaxed laid back smile upon her lips.* Evening. You two felt it too huh?
Isabella Perez (Nov 3, 2011 7:18:21 AM)
She nods. "It doesn't feel like a spiritual call for help. Nothing to do with ghosts. Something more... ritual, maybe?" She looks to Jeff. "Almost artificial..."
Jeff Pines (Nov 3, 2011 7:18:45 AM)
I didn't feel that much detail.
Paige Villawood (Nov 3, 2011 7:19:05 AM)
(Legion has enough time passed for me to try LoW1 again or is it too soon?)
Legion (Nov 3, 2011 7:20:14 AM)
**The university is largely closed this time of night, though their are of course the dorms and a more than one office that burn the midnight oil. As you begin arriving, the front boom gates are manned by a small security detail; a booth with a sleepy looking guard leafing through a magazine is all that stands to recieve anyone. The fact that the place is not in flames or resident to any fifty foot tentacles is dissapointing though there is an air of ..something. What greets your arrival is a largely empty carpark, a white walled front office buildinga nd rather deserted gardens. The university is a large complex**
Legion (Nov 3, 2011 7:20:55 AM)
*The only real clue any of you have that something is amiss is that as you arrive, others have also felt the pull*
Isabella Perez (Nov 3, 2011 7:21:16 AM)
She turns to look over at Paige, walking beside Jeff. "Do you know what this is?"
Paige Villawood (Nov 3, 2011 7:22:22 AM)
*She shakes her head and walks with the pair.* I felt something, only I have no idea what it was or where it came from. *Her eyes drift back to the complex of buildings.* I tried to create a map but... give me a few minutes and I'll try again?
Jeff Pines (Nov 3, 2011 7:22:50 AM)
((So, no parking in the visitor's lot, it's closed, right? If so, just assume I parked in the empty streets nearby. Is the university area all fenced or can we just stroll in?))
Isabella Perez (Nov 3, 2011 7:22:52 AM)
She nods. "All I can tell is that it's nothing of my realms."
Jeff Pines (Nov 3, 2011 7:23:10 AM)
I have no idea, either.
Legion (Nov 3, 2011 7:23:51 AM)
((most is walled or fenced, though many of those 'walls are actually hedges and tree's thaty can be ducked through onto the grounds))
Paige Villawood (Nov 3, 2011 7:24:09 AM)
(Piage has university influence and works for them :) Could she get the group past the security guard and into the carpark?)
Legion (Nov 3, 2011 7:24:38 AM)
((with the right story, that's possible))
Jack Schmidt (Nov 3, 2011 7:24:54 AM)
*Pulls into the parking lot and parks, getting out and glancing over at the little group of demony types*
Paige Villawood (Nov 3, 2011 7:25:51 AM)
(She also has the dean as her personal ally :) She could tell them she's working late and bringing in some consultants to help her set up for a research proposal etc)
Legion (Nov 3, 2011 7:26:23 AM)
((Dean's not on site though, the guard is))
Legion (Nov 3, 2011 7:27:05 AM)

(lol)
Isabella Perez (Nov 3, 2011 7:28:16 AM)
((i'm apparently a kitty bed for all sizes *sigh*)) Looking over at the sound of the car pulling in, she spots Jack. Her eyes narrow, but she doesn't say a word to him. Turning to Jeff and Paige, she murmurs softly. "Jack's here."
Jack Schmidt (Nov 3, 2011 7:29:50 AM)
*Lights up a clove as he pushes off his jeep, locking it up and heads toward the weirdness, ignoring the group*
Paige Villawood (Nov 3, 2011 7:30:07 AM)
(Fine we walk :P)
Paige Villawood (Nov 3, 2011 7:30:39 AM)
*She looks between the two in question her head tilting a little to the side.* I don't think I've actually ever met Jack.
Isabella Perez (Nov 3, 2011 7:31:00 AM)
She turns and nods her head in the direction of a large grey building. "Over there. It seems stronger over there."
Jeff Pines (Nov 3, 2011 7:31:57 AM)
*Had heard Jack, too, and even greeted him with a nod... He starts walking towards a part of the hedge fence he can just push through to get to tbe building, unaware that Paige works here.*
Jeff Pines (Nov 3, 2011 7:32:17 AM)
*Both his supernatural senses and his regular senses are as alert as he can to his surroundings while he walks.*
Jack Schmidt (Nov 3, 2011 7:33:04 AM)
*He would have returned the nod to Jeff and refrained from flicking Isa off*
Jack Schmidt (Nov 3, 2011 7:33:38 AM)
*Walks along, not heading towards the gate of the building, instead moving around to one side.*
Isabella Perez (Nov 3, 2011 7:34:30 AM)
She stays with Jeff and Paige, but notes the security guard. "Does anyone have any suggestions about this one?"
Paige Villawood (Nov 3, 2011 7:35:08 AM)
*Spotting Jack she watches him curiously, apparently not recognising the need for quiet as she finally clicks her finger and points to him with a smile.* Jack! The Basement Blues Club right?
Legion (Nov 3, 2011 7:35:10 AM)
**on two groups, you find your way about the parking lot and cross the grounds, lit mainly by moonlight though the main paths are brightly lit. The front booth security guard doesn't seem to have notived you at all as you make your way in**
Isabella Perez (Nov 3, 2011 7:36:10 AM)
She sighs softly as they get closer, then hurries ahead. "I'll see if I can unlock the place for us."
Jeff Pines (Nov 3, 2011 7:36:54 AM)
I can unlock doors easily enough.
Jeff Pines (Nov 3, 2011 7:36:57 AM)
*He says quietly*
Jeff Pines (Nov 3, 2011 7:37:21 AM)
((No guards at the building itself, right? Just at the gate? Or is there a guard at the building's entrance, too?))
Jack Schmidt (Nov 3, 2011 7:38:03 AM)
*Stops and turns towards Paige, nodding*
Jack Schmidt (Nov 3, 2011 7:38:26 AM)
Laid off the booze tonight huh?
Legion (Nov 3, 2011 7:38:43 AM)
**You all converge on the John Hopkins memorial building, a large grey structure with a mix of glass and steel shuttering that forms the modern architectual equivelent of style. The offices all seem empty as does the foyer behind the glass doors and they are firmly locked. A few of the upper labs have lights on from behind closed shutters however**
Isabella Perez (Nov 3, 2011 7:38:45 AM)
She smiles at Jeff. "Alright. We'll do things your way."
Legion (Nov 3, 2011 7:39:19 AM)
((ask Paige))
Isabella Perez (Nov 3, 2011 7:39:20 AM)
((can i get another reading as to where this thing is, or has the "call" stopped?))
Paige Villawood (Nov 3, 2011 7:39:54 AM)
(Ask Paige what?)
Legion (Nov 3, 2011 7:40:13 AM)
((stopped for the present))
Paige Villawood (Nov 3, 2011 7:40:48 AM)
*She chuckles and looks to Jack with a nod.* Apparently the Fallen of this city find it hysterical that this body can't hold it's liquor, tricking me into having three drinks in a night seems a local past time.
Jack Schmidt (Nov 3, 2011 7:41:12 AM)
Well, yer kinda fun when yer drunk... can't really blame 'em.
Jeff Pines (Nov 3, 2011 7:41:17 AM)
You can get drunk? *He sounds surprised as he looks around for alarms*
Legion (Nov 3, 2011 7:41:40 AM)
**As you stand about however, there is an odd shifting in shadows. As you look about, you note that all the lamp post lights along the paths momentarily ficker and fade before recovering**
Isabella Perez (Nov 3, 2011 7:41:44 AM)
She chuckles faintly. "I apparently got drunk last night. Hence the coffee that whatever-this-is interrupted."
Jack Schmidt (Nov 3, 2011 7:41:54 AM)
What classes they teach in here? *Motioning towards the building*
Jack Schmidt (Nov 3, 2011 7:42:04 AM)
*Totally ignores Isabella*
Paige Villawood (Nov 3, 2011 7:42:31 AM)
*She smiles and nods to Jeff, hands slipping into the pockets of her jeans.* Yes and far far too easily. Amos thinks it's hysterical and is jealous, apparently most of us simply can't get drunk no matter how hard they try. *Following along she looks towards the building.* That would be the science block.
Isabella Perez (Nov 3, 2011 7:43:11 AM)
Stepping off to the side, she starts to whisper and mumble to herself, looking around the grounds.
Jeff Pines (Nov 3, 2011 7:43:24 AM)
I can, but it's hard... *His eyes, who were looking for alarms, are drawn to those flickering lights* Uh oh...
Jeff Pines (Nov 3, 2011 7:43:55 AM)
((Legion, just in case you missed it, check PMs. :-) ))
Isabella Perez (Nov 3, 2011 7:47:39 AM)
A surge of power eminates from Isabella for a brief moment, then does down as she sighs. "Ok, that was rather pointless..." She looks up curiously at the lit labs. "Anyone else got any ideas of how to search this place?"
Isabella Perez (Nov 3, 2011 7:48:05 AM)
((afk for a sec guys... just NPC Bella to go where Paige and Jeff go))
Jeff Pines (Nov 3, 2011 7:49:19 AM)
I was thinking we just go in *He continues to say quietly.*
Paige Villawood (Nov 3, 2011 7:49:34 AM)
(Yes! 2 sux on Wilderness Sense!)
Jack Schmidt (Nov 3, 2011 7:50:09 AM)
((Wilderness sense works in a science building?))
Paige Villawood (Nov 3, 2011 7:50:30 AM)
(Yes :) You just have to roll at a higher diff for an urban setting)
Jack Schmidt (Nov 3, 2011 7:50:55 AM)
((Ahh... nice.))
Paige Villawood (Nov 3, 2011 7:51:17 AM)
(So I have a mental map including peeps and demons for a 3 mile radius!)
Jeff Pines (Nov 3, 2011 7:51:25 AM)
((At higher dif it does...)) *With only two small bursts of power, Jeff makes the alarm at the door think the door is still closed, and unlocks the door, then opens it, holding it open for the ladies to go in first and looking inside to try to see any danger for them in there, in which case manners be damned and he will step inside first. Once inside, he continues to look for cameras.*
Jeff Pines (Nov 3, 2011 7:51:47 AM)
((3 sux to play with the alarm using forge 2, 5 sux for the door.))
Legion (Nov 3, 2011 7:52:17 AM)
Paige - you begin to mentally map the area. Though wilds does not help with doors and locks and such things foreign to the senses, it does reveal the basic layout of closed and open spaces and your ability (higher diff)... means you can fill in the blanks for where the doors are. You do however clearly feel the presence of a INfernal, somewhere below you
Isabella Perez (Nov 3, 2011 7:52:39 AM)
.
Paige Villawood (Nov 3, 2011 7:52:44 AM)
*Very impressed by Jeff's thieving skills, the botanist smiles at him with a little curtsey of thanks as he lets her go in first, moving inside and glancing around to get her bearings.* They're below us.
Isabella Perez (Nov 3, 2011 7:56:34 AM)
Looking around for other people, she keeps on her toes for mortal threats while the others head towards the stairs. ((still afk... just sat back down to not lag out))
Jeff Pines (Nov 3, 2011 7:56:45 AM)
((ok))
Jack Schmidt (Nov 3, 2011 7:56:53 AM)
*Yawns some as he walks with the others*
Legion (Nov 3, 2011 7:56:59 AM)
**The quiet hush of air conditioning greets you as this level is empty and lit only by the security lights and the odd exit sign. A long and impressive front desk and computer sit befroe you, elevators to your left and a long corridor leads away, with doors on either side**
Paige Villawood (Nov 3, 2011 7:57:25 AM)
(Is Paige able to lead them towards stairs that go down?)
Jeff Pines (Nov 3, 2011 7:57:28 AM)
*He follows the ladies inside and, looking for those security cameras, he starts looking for a way downstairs. Stairs being preferable to elevators.*
Paige Villawood (Nov 3, 2011 7:57:51 AM)
(Her work would make her fairly familiar with the science building?)
Legion (Nov 3, 2011 8:01:10 AM)
((Paige, you are aware that the elevators do have security key access to the lower levels. there are also emergency stairs but the security is likely to be a little more sophisticated to access the lower levels))
Legion (Nov 3, 2011 8:01:36 AM)
((Jeff - there are camera's yes, one on the main foyer, another at the end of the corridor))
Isabella Perez (Nov 3, 2011 8:02:19 AM)
((ok, almost done over here, guys))
Paige Villawood (Nov 3, 2011 8:02:36 AM)
*Moving through the corridors she begins leading the way.* There are elevators and emergency stairs, I'm afraid though to get down to where we need to go we're going to have to slip through some fairly impressive security. *She grins at the thought and looks to Jeff.* Just how good of a reprobate are you?
Legion (Nov 3, 2011 8:03:40 AM)
**Then, that pulse again, though this time, far more physical. A lore, actually more thanb one lore has been called on with enough strength to momentarily fill the air about you with the metallic taste of foil and stale smoke**
Jeff Pines (Nov 3, 2011 8:03:49 AM)
((11/03/11 12:03:26 Jeff Pines rolls 6 dice vs. diff of 8 to camera play/record the same image (FP): 5, 6, 5, 5, 3, 10 : 1 successes ))
Legion (Nov 3, 2011 8:04:18 AM)
((one success is all it needs))
Jeff Pines (Nov 3, 2011 8:04:36 AM)
*Jeff continues to worry about security and concentrates on the camera that could see them... Making sure it won't. That's a lot tougher, however, than the simple lock or alarm, so he uses some of his inner reservers for that one.*
Jeff Pines (Nov 3, 2011 8:04:40 AM)
((Cool))
Paige Villawood (Nov 3, 2011 8:05:33 AM)
*She smiles over to Jack with a wink.* Who knew that a life of crime could come in so handy huh? *With the words she continues moving forwards, weaving from this corridor to that as she leads them towards the lifts.*
Jeff Pines (Nov 3, 2011 8:06:41 AM)
((Jack or Jeff?))
Paige Villawood (Nov 3, 2011 8:07:25 AM)
(Jack, Jeff is concentrating! And really there is no point breaking and entering if you can't engage in light hearted banter while doing it!)
Jeff Pines (Nov 3, 2011 8:07:38 AM)
*He follows quietly, still trying to make sure there won't be much evidence left to get him in jail. He really has had it with jail. both as a mortal and as a demon in hell.*
Jeff Pines (Nov 3, 2011 8:08:01 AM)
((Just wondering! People ALWAYS confuse me with Jack. It has been embarassing once or twice.))
Jack Schmidt (Nov 3, 2011 8:08:38 AM)
Guards coming from that way... want me to kill him? *To Paige. It was a joke, but she probably wouldn't be able to tell.*
Jack Schmidt (Nov 3, 2011 8:09:32 AM)
((Woulda said it low so the guard couldn't hear it, but those with him could.))
Isabella Perez (Nov 3, 2011 8:10:03 AM)
.
Jack Schmidt (Nov 3, 2011 8:10:29 AM)
*Reaches back and opens the door behind him so he and the others can duck into the room... unless Paige actually does want him to kill the Security guard.*
Legion (Nov 3, 2011 8:10:30 AM)
**A few scant seconds after the warning, a rattle of a door handle as someone approaches from the west wing,**
Paige Villawood (Nov 3, 2011 8:10:38 AM)
*She looks to Jack for a long moment in question before she realises it's a joke and grins in responce.* Depends, do you have a ciggarette to smoke afterwards?
Jack Schmidt (Nov 3, 2011 8:11:16 AM)
*Slips into the little lab to hide... leaving it open for the others to follow*
Paige Villawood (Nov 3, 2011 8:11:28 AM)
*Ducking back into the room as she hears the guard she moves back towards the dark shadowy corner, crouching down and falling silent.*
Legion (Nov 3, 2011 8:11:41 AM)
**Jacks 'door' leads into a smaller lab. One wall is a stack of mice cages while the standard wooden benches and gas taps make up the main room**
Isabella Perez (Nov 3, 2011 8:11:49 AM)
Ducking into the room, she crouches down against the wall beside the door, staying deep in the shadows.
Jeff Pines (Nov 3, 2011 8:12:17 AM)
*Follows*
Jack Schmidt (Nov 3, 2011 8:12:53 AM)
*Closes and locks the door, leaning back against it and looking at the others, assuming there isn't a window or something in the door that the guard could see him through.*
Legion (Nov 3, 2011 8:13:01 AM)
*A man's voice follows a burst of radio static* This is posiiton three.... still nothing. I'm telling you, if it was going to work, it would have worked already
Legion (Nov 3, 2011 8:14:10 AM)
Reply follwing burst of static - Position three, you will refrain from personal observation over an open channel or you will find your self retired. condition?
Isabella Perez (Nov 3, 2011 8:14:11 AM)
She glances over at Paige, a brow raised in question, but stays utterly silent, listening for the man's footsteps to fade.
Legion (Nov 3, 2011 8:15:00 AM)
The man, now right outside the lab - yes.. er yes, understood.. conditiion green
Legion (Nov 3, 2011 8:16:06 AM)
**The footsteps fade and you hear the front foyer glass doord rattle and then open... then hush closed and rattle once again**
Paige Villawood (Nov 3, 2011 8:16:13 AM)
*She winks to Isabella, whispering as the man passes out of hearing range.* It's like misbehaving at highschool all over again isn't it? I half expect someone to pull out a joint or a dirty magazine.
Jeff Pines (Nov 3, 2011 8:16:20 AM)
*Whispers rather quietly* He just radioed in a green status, we should grab him and ask what this is about.
Jeff Pines (Nov 3, 2011 8:16:47 AM)
Sounds like they expected something to happen... Maybe that call was a sort of bait? If so, I wanna know how they did it.
Jeff Pines (Nov 3, 2011 8:17:05 AM)
*Jeff moves towards the door, trying to move silently.*
Paige Villawood (Nov 3, 2011 8:17:17 AM)
*Her eyes flick directly to Jeff.* It sounds as though they are also taking things fairly seriously, chances are he will have to check in with them again soon. Whatever is happening, the bait is downstairs. We're not really going to leave without looking are we?
Jeff Pines (Nov 3, 2011 8:17:47 AM)

*The fallen in the body of Jeff lets his true form show, and suddenly he is growing and changing in front of you, looking even more like a black giant than he did before, his clothing apparently sinking in his glowing form. Standing at almost 9 feet tall now, he is still broad enough to almost look squat and proportionally muscled, but what is most shocking is that his form seems completely made of a matte black metal, that somehow flows as he moves while still giving off a feeling of solidity. He seems naked, but that can be hard to tell with that flowing mettalic skin and no sex organs, nipples or even a belly button showing. His eyes are sunk deep in that mettalic and bald face, but can be clearly seen as shinning orbs of what seems to be molten metal. If looking close enough and hard enough, a glow similar to the one from his eyes, but very faint, can be seen all over his body, tracing what seems to be the paths of veins.*
Jeff Pines (Nov 3, 2011 8:43:02 AM)
*His voice sounds too grave and loud in your ears, even if he whispers to you, like a volcano's rumbling, the beginning of a rock slide or the fanning of forge fires. The fallen angel exudes a faint smell of the forge, the sharp tang of molten metal along with the scent of burnt earth and ash. Despite his alien look, there seems to be a nobility to his form, a hint of his past glory, inspiring feelings of both awe and solidity.*

Jack Schmidt (Nov 3, 2011 8:46:44 AM)

*Sensing something important before them she follows them out of the elevator, Paige's mortal shell falling away as Aideen rises up to the surface. Amazingly, almost distractingly beautiful the naked form of the woodland nympth moves with a fluid, almost stalking grace, her skin seeming to change to reflect the world around her while autumn leaves brushed constantly through her eyes in a never ending pattern and long gently curling hair fell down to her hips. A few growing vines around her hips the only hint of modesty she moves with ease and silence, a lush, exotic, captivating creature whose mere existence served as a reminder of the time before the Fall.* (4 sux on stealth!)

A pair of solid black wings sprout from her shoulderblades, fanning the air gently, creating currents that billow her hair around her face. The air surrounding her swirls with shed feathers that never reach the ground, and the scent of patchouli and sandalwood. She floats along, her feet not quite touching the floor, after the rest of the group, content to bring up the rear and guard their flank.

At that, her back goes ram-rod straight, her eyes narrowing. (whisper) "Did he jus say, sighs?"
Paige Villawood (Nov 3, 2011 9:30:40 AM)
*She shakes her head at that.* Enough now child. You have proven yourself strong and worthy, smart and capable and if you present yourself to us then we will give you what you seek, but you cannot think to be able to command your betters.
Jeff Pines (Nov 3, 2011 9:31:10 AM)
*Jeff tries to remember the palace of sighs... and comes up blank. He figures it was probably a silver legion thing... Sounds just like them.*
Jeff Pines (Nov 3, 2011 9:31:27 AM)
*But he nods in answer to Isa*
Paige Villawood (Nov 3, 2011 9:32:10 AM)
(I have to warn everyone that I need to go and sleep really really soon!)
Isabella Perez (Nov 3, 2011 9:32:11 AM)
She grits her teeth, thoughts and emotions flashing over her face as she watches Paige carefully, her hands idlly brushing against her blades.
Isabella Perez (Nov 3, 2011 9:32:28 AM)
((and i'll need to go get in the shower soon... got errands to run))
Voice (Nov 3, 2011 9:33:54 AM)
If the littanies are correct, once the palace was destroyed, the Silver gate opened to a a place between life and unlife, and there, life could be restored, true life
Voice (Nov 3, 2011 9:34:04 AM)
and I could have my Wendy back
Voice (Nov 3, 2011 9:34:31 AM)
ANything else you learn or recover would be yours
Isabella Perez (Nov 3, 2011 9:34:57 AM)
No longer can she keep silent, that rings too close of a memory in her mind. "Do you speak of a place in the underworld?"
Voice (Nov 3, 2011 9:35:21 AM)
Yes, a place called Haven
Isabella Perez (Nov 3, 2011 9:35:56 AM)
She stumbles and places a hand on Jeff's back to steady herself as her knees threaten to give out. (softly) "You... know where it is?"
Voice (Nov 3, 2011 9:37:51 AM)
The litanies say that the host attempted to use the silver gate to uncover haven, though when they did so, a great host of angels, sworn to service of the underworld poured out and destroyed the host before they could gain access. Then, they took the gates that could not be destroyed and hid them where no mortal nor Angel would ever find them

*Remains stoically out of the ay of the cameras and wondering which of his brothers is locked in that birdbath, which he guesses is the mirror the voice mentioned.*
Voice (Nov 3, 2011 9:38:44 AM)
but they left clues, and I have followed every one
Isabella Perez (Nov 3, 2011 9:38:46 AM)
"And you have found one of these gates?" Her voice seems steadier, though she stays hidden behind Jeff.
Voice (Nov 3, 2011 9:39:11 AM)
I have, and I give the locatrion to you freely
Isabella Perez (Nov 3, 2011 9:39:25 AM)
"Why? Why do you want to help us?"
Voice (Nov 3, 2011 9:39:44 AM)
all I desire, is that if you can recover the gate, you allow me to pass through it, as my wife will be within
Jeff Pines (Nov 3, 2011 9:40:13 AM)
*In his rumbly voice* Sounds like a deal.
Jeff Pines (Nov 3, 2011 9:40:22 AM)
*Then they can see the owner of the voice*
Paige Villawood (Nov 3, 2011 9:40:49 AM)
*Aideen smiles and nods, her eyes flicking over to Jeff.* I should say so yes. In a sad and grey world such devotion deserves fulfillment.
Isabella Perez (Nov 3, 2011 9:41:03 AM)
She leans against Jeff's back and whispers softly for only the ears of the other three. "I need to find a way to go back. I have not seen Haven for so long."
Voice (Nov 3, 2011 9:42:13 AM)
I have used what occult lore I have to enable this mirror to call you here, but my energy is spent in its entirelty
Voice (Nov 3, 2011 9:42:59 AM)
I could never use it again and live, so take it as a gift of my devotion to you, all of you.
Jeff Pines (Nov 3, 2011 9:42:59 AM)
*He whispers to Isa* I wouldn't expect anything good out of it. It's probably as wrecked as this place is, or like the piece of haven we escaped through had become.

"Is that where you think the gate is?"
Voice (Nov 3, 2011 9:44:04 AM)
**detailed with coordinates, not landmarks, as its a whole mes so' sand**

Jack, can you download that data he showed us?
Isabella Perez (Nov 3, 2011 9:46:37 AM)
She sighs and backs up to sag against a wall. (whispers) "Haven. After all this time, to see it once more. I do not care how bad it looks. The chance is too good for me to pass up."
