I'm sorry to bring you out like this, I suppose I could have called you and told you, but I wanted to tell you both together since I believe it concerns you too..

Paige Villawood (Nov 6, 2011 11:58:18 PM)
(We found him :) )

Peyton Broussard (Nov 6, 2011 11:58:30 PM)
*she looks around to make sure no one can hear them* (yay)

Peyton Broussard (Nov 6, 2011 11:58:36 PM)
The other night, I was in The House of Jazz, having a drink and listening to the music. I felt as if someone were watching me and as the night wore on, the sensation became more and more intense. Out of the corner of my eyes I noticed an old man sitting by himself and as soon as I really looked at him he smiled and I heard him speak my name.. in my head.

Peyton Broussard (Nov 6, 2011 11:59:21 PM)
As I rose to get out of there, I heard his voice once again in my head and he cautioned me not to leave, as I would most likely be unsafe on the street alone with him. Then he asked me to sit back down, which I did and he joined me and spoke normally

Paige Villawood (Nov 6, 2011 11:59:37 PM)
*She nods starting to become concerned, the smile slipping away while her expression becomes more serious.* You know you can call on us at any time Pey. Another Fallen?

Peyton Broussard (Nov 6, 2011 11:59:53 PM)
He said he was angry that I had returned the "gift" he had given us, meaning the sickness. He said he was angry because we had ruined his experiment.. I asked him what his experiment was but he wouldn't tell me. I even told him that if he had told us about his experiment before, we might have helped him instead of attacking, but he saw through my ruse and again refused to tell me.

Peyton Broussard (Nov 7, 2011 12:00:10 AM)
I didn't dare.. Paige I was afraid of what would happen

Peyton Broussard (Nov 7, 2011 12:00:30 AM)
When I asked him what he wanted, he said that he wanted me for his entertainment and he offered me more gifts, which I refused . I told him I had seen his "gifts' and wanted no part of them

Peyton Broussard (Nov 7, 2011 12:00:51 AM)
He told me then that he wanted to keep me, but that he wanted to kill the one who attacked him.. he did not call her by name but I knew he meant Julia. And he said that if I gave him my friend, meaning Julia, he would give me many very powerful gifts. I told him I barely knew her, and he said that would make it easier. Still I refused of course.

Peyton Broussard (Nov 7, 2011 12:01:59 AM)
Then I asked him his name and he said that because he wanted me to owe him more, he would tell me.. And then he said that he would find me where ever I was soon and make me his.

Peyton Broussard (Nov 7, 2011 12:02:48 AM)
He knows me and knows where to find me. And he told me his name..

Chris Reimmer (Nov 7, 2011 12:02:49 AM)
(sorry, moderately afk)

Paige Villawood (Nov 7, 2011 12:03:13 AM)
*She tilts her head to the side, momentarily considering the offer.* No, you were right to refuse him, we still don't know what it is he was up to. *She bites on her bottom lip as she listens to Peyton recount the tale, a couple of steps taken first one way and then the other as she speaks.* You told Samuel this? Are you staying with him?

Peyton Broussard (Nov 7, 2011 12:03:41 AM)
No.. but I was with him right after it happened

Paige Villawood (Nov 7, 2011 12:04:24 AM)
*She smiles a little at that and nods.* In that case you'd better come stay with us for the time being, we're stronger together than we are alone and there's a spare bedroom at the cottage.

Peyton Broussard (Nov 7, 2011 12:05:11 AM)
*nods* I will go get my things and tell Jean Baptiste to mount extra security

Paige Villawood (Nov 7, 2011 12:06:27 AM)
I also have guard dogs now so the timing is right. *She looks back over her shoulder towards the cafe wrinkling her nose a little.* I think we should warn Anthony and Darren as well, mind if I call them out here?

Peyton Broussard (Nov 7, 2011 12:06:45 AM)
No not at all..

Chris Reimmer (Nov 7, 2011 12:07:25 AM)
*He thought a moment* This demon... I think I have been tracking the same one. He was a patient at Brianna's care home.

Chris Reimmer (Nov 7, 2011 12:08:09 AM)
*he shook his head* Before his possession of course. He was sick near death and just walked out of his hospital room without a word. I went there, and sure enough, his power resonated.

Peyton Broussard (Nov 7, 2011 12:08:27 AM)
I don't know about that.. he was old and disgusting and he was definitely the one we were fighting in Little Viet Nam

Paige Villawood (Nov 7, 2011 12:08:31 AM)
*Her head moving to the side, her lips whisper out a soft, near silent sentence as she calls to the others.*

Chris Reimmer (Nov 7, 2011 12:09:27 AM)
*he shook his head* I'm almost certain it's the same man. It's how I got sick a few weeks ago. But his power seems to be increasing.

Peyton Broussard (Nov 7, 2011 12:09:52 AM)
According to him, the sickness was a kind of experiement

Paige Villawood (Nov 7, 2011 12:10:45 AM)
We have a name now though which gives us a clue and Darrens samples as well, which means while he may be gaining in power we are also gaining quickly in leads.

Chris Reimmer (Nov 7, 2011 12:10:53 AM)
*He nodded at tha* The resonance I noticed in the hospital room was... both dangerous and curious. So that would make sense... *he thought a moment* Perhaps Julia will actually prove useful, if he's after her, it might be a way to bait him out.

Peyton Broussard (Nov 7, 2011 12:11:06 AM)
I don't like the fact that he is stalking me.. and worse, seemed to know where I was going before I got there.

Chris Reimmer (Nov 7, 2011 12:11:25 AM)
*he looked to Paige and nodded* Yes, I am following some leads in terms of his mundane connections, from when he was still mortal.

Anthony S Barajas (Nov 7, 2011 12:11:51 AM)
(This user has entered Outside Java the Hut (DtF)) (IP = 67.161.182.247)

Paige Villawood (Nov 7, 2011 12:11:55 AM)
*She nods with a little frown and turns towards Chris.* Do you think we should get Samuel to stay at the cottage too for the time being? Just to keep us all in the one place?

Darren Coleman (Nov 7, 2011 12:12:01 AM)
(This user has entered Outside Java the Hut (DtF)) (IP = 76.110.148.43)

Anthony S Barajas (Nov 7, 2011 12:12:24 AM)
*And Anthony heads outside, with Darren a couple steps behind him; a steaming cup of coffee in his hands*

Peyton Broussard (Nov 7, 2011 12:12:33 AM)
*she nods to the two and looks around again before she speaks*

Darren Coleman (Nov 7, 2011 12:12:50 AM)
Darren had already fetched a cigarette en route, and was in the process of lighting it as he joined the others.

Paige Villawood (Nov 7, 2011 12:13:15 AM)
*The group stand a little away from the cafe, voices low and smiles absent as they obviously discuss important matters. As Anthony and Darren arrive Paige nods a little, that gravity about her that slips into place from time to time and oddly enough seems to suit her even more than the natural smiles.* Thanks for coming out, Peyton has some important information I think you both should hear.

Peyton Broussard (Nov 7, 2011 12:13:45 AM)
*Once she has their attention, she tells her story again*

Peyton Broussard (Nov 7, 2011 12:13:55 AM)
The other night, I was in The House of Jazz, having a drink and listening to the music. I felt as if someone were watching me and as the night wore on, the sensation became more and more intense. Out of the corner of my eyes I noticed an old man sitting by himself and as soon as I really looked at him he smiled and I heard him speak my name.. in my head.

(Sorry to make you retype Pey!)

(( no problem it is C&P))

Peyton Broussard (Nov 7, 2011 12:14:31 AM)

Peyton Broussard (Nov 7, 2011 12:16:09 AM)
He knows me and knows where to find me. And he told me his name..

Darren Coleman (Nov 7, 2011 12:16:29 AM)
Darren would be frowning thoughtfully through the entirety of the recounting, but waited until she was clearly finished in silence.

Peyton Broussard (Nov 7, 2011 12:16:42 AM)
((done))

Anthony S Barajas (Nov 7, 2011 12:16:56 AM)
This goes back to my earlier point about old people molesting young children... *shaking his head as Peyton goes into details*

Peyton Broussard (Nov 7, 2011 12:17:59 AM)
(lol)

Darren Coleman (Nov 7, 2011 12:18:23 AM)
Darren looked briefly distracted, and shook his head, getting back his train of thought. "Interesting. We should easily be able to arrange a trap for him then, offering either you or Julia as bait."

Peyton Broussard (Nov 7, 2011 12:19:01 AM)
He will know it's a trap

Chris Reimmer (Nov 7, 2011 12:19:02 AM)
*he looked to Anthony and smirked* You're actually not that far off. I believe the mortal host came from Brianna's care home. *he looked to Darren* I had just made the same suggestion before you came out. If he wants Julia, she's an easy way to get him out in the open

Brianna Murphy (Nov 7, 2011 12:19:05 AM)
(This user has entered Outside Java the Hut (DtF)) (IP = 65.190.18.13)

Anthony S Barajas (Nov 7, 2011 12:19:13 AM)
Just need to give her a plaid skirt, stockings, braid her hair and give her a lollipop. Even if he knows it's a trap, he will have to succumb to it.

Paige Villawood (Nov 7, 2011 12:19:45 AM)
I thought you should both hear it all. *She smiles a small tight expression, a concerned glance shot over to Peyton.* Especially now that we have the Fallen's name and can know that it -is- another Fallen, perhaps even one who has a history with Pey. *She nods in agreement with them.* She is but you know full well she will be likely to kill him outright before we have any answers.

Peyton Broussard (Nov 7, 2011 12:19:46 AM)
*Her eyes narrow as she looks to Anthony* Funny

Brianna Murphy (Nov 7, 2011 12:20:11 AM)
*No conspiracies for her! She walked out of the cafe and waved to the people that were wherever. She didn't stick around to eavesdrop, having some measure of privacy. She just casually walked away, taking out her phone to text someone.*

Darren Coleman (Nov 7, 2011 12:21:07 AM)
He shook his head lightly to Peyton. "Your initial refusal can be circumvented. One of us could evoke the old man, expressing that you told us what had occured and that we wished to go behind your back and bring him Julia for the sake of your safety." He looked to Chris, Paige, and Anthony. "That seems like a plausible ruse, yes?"

Brianna Murphy (Nov 7, 2011 12:21:31 AM)
(This user has moved to OOC Room) (IP = 65.190.18.13)

Paige Villawood (Nov 7, 2011 12:21:51 AM)
*She waves over to Brianna with a quick apologetic smile that doesn't quite reach her eyes, the little group involved in serious discussions. A mental note made to make it up to the thrall later for having repeatedly dragged Chris away. Darrens words bring a smile to her lips as she makes an attempt at humour.* Yeah.... ruse.

Peyton Broussard (Nov 7, 2011 12:22:18 AM)
He will know.. don't you see? he has powers.. he is clairvoyant or something

Anthony S Barajas (Nov 7, 2011 12:22:27 AM)
That depends on who's doing the offering; and what he can offer.... *shrugging slightly* I doubt either of you have reputations for selling out the Fallen. If the offer came from me however.... it might be believale.

Chris Reimmer (Nov 7, 2011 12:23:05 AM)
*He nodded to Darren* Yeah, I don't see why that couldn't work. *he looked to Anthony and nodded* Exactly. The source is key. Peyton is out of the question. But someone else.

Chris Reimmer (Nov 7, 2011 12:23:19 AM)
It's not like Julia hasn't drawn attention from other elohim already.

Paige Villawood (Nov 7, 2011 12:23:50 AM)
*She looks over to Anthony her head tilting to the side as she remains quiet for a moment finally nodding.* Anthony would be the perfect person, he's right, the offer from him would be less suspicious than from any of us.

Darren Coleman (Nov 7, 2011 12:23:58 AM)
"I tend to be an unknown quantity," he intoned with a shrug to Anthony. His attention moved back to Peyton. "We will have to work with the assumption that he is not unfailingly all-knowing. If he is, defeating him would likely prove impossible regardless of what plan we construct."

Peyton Broussard (Nov 7, 2011 12:23:59 AM)
*Sighs with exasperation*

Peyton Broussard (Nov 7, 2011 12:24:50 AM)
*Rubs her temples* I can see why he is after Julia, but why me?

Paige Villawood (Nov 7, 2011 12:24:51 AM)
*She smiles sympathetically over to Peyton giving her a quick hug.* I promise Pey, when we all work together we are capable of the most amazing things.

Chris Reimmer (Nov 7, 2011 12:25:36 AM)
*he shook his head to Peyton* It's possible he remembers something about you from the past that you do not. Perhaps there is a connection you can't recall.

Peyton Broussard (Nov 7, 2011 12:25:38 AM)
*nods* Yes, I know.. but I don't want him to make anyone sick again..

Anthony S Barajas (Nov 7, 2011 12:25:52 AM)
What do we know about him. His name, okay. What do we know about that name? Anything? Who was he, that he can make offers or expect them to be made. If we know enough, it would be easy enough to go in and offer him a deal. Pragmatism, after all, is fairly commonplace amongst us.

Peyton Broussard (Nov 7, 2011 12:25:54 AM)
*Looks to Chris* I suppose that could be

Darren Coleman (Nov 7, 2011 12:26:21 AM)
"He seems quite mad," he intoned to Peyton. "It could easily be connected to one of his mortal memories, as well. Perhaps you are simply 'his type'."

Paige Villawood (Nov 7, 2011 12:26:21 AM)
Most of our memories are lost Pey, but sometimes the feelings that would come with those memories are still with us. Maybe he doens't even know why he is so attracted to you or needs to posess you and that could be the chink in his armour.

Peyton Broussard (Nov 7, 2011 12:26:30 AM)
He tld mehis name because heknew I wuld tell ou

Paige Villawood (Nov 7, 2011 12:26:35 AM)
(We need the ST to make the legacy rolls on the name)

Peyton Broussard (Nov 7, 2011 12:27:16 AM)
( translating my typos:) He told me his name because he knew I would tell you

Peyton Broussard (Nov 7, 2011 12:27:28 AM)
I just realized that..

Peyton Broussard (Nov 7, 2011 12:27:39 AM)
*mumbles* fuck

Chris Reimmer (Nov 7, 2011 12:28:06 AM)
*he nodded again* Either way, we need only draw him out in the open. *he looked over to Peyton and shook his head* Us knowing his name doesn't give him any advantage I can think of.

Peyton Broussard (Nov 7, 2011 12:28:46 AM)
Except you are now plotting together and will move .. together... I think it is a trap

Darren Coleman (Nov 7, 2011 12:28:48 AM)
"I think you may be overestimating this particular foe, Peyton." Darren wasn't good at soothing. "He has clearly upset you, which is likely the bulk of what he intended."

Paige Villawood (Nov 7, 2011 12:28:57 AM)
Unless we slip up and speak it. *She bites down on her bottom lip a small frown coming to her forehead as she thinks.* Or in some way he remembers more than just Peyton from the time before and is trying to send us all a message.

Anthony S Barajas (Nov 7, 2011 12:28:58 AM)
Well, unless it's a lie and he just told you the name of one of his enemies. That's what 'I' would do in his case at least. So you know, there's only so much we can trust that.

Paige Villawood (Nov 7, 2011 12:30:05 AM)
*She nods to Anthony, reaching up to hook dark hair back behind her ear.* Which of course means that we can't know his name for certain until Anthony deliberately invokes him, by which time our plans should already be in motion.

Chris Reimmer (Nov 7, 2011 12:30:24 AM)
*he looked to Darren, then Paige, and Anthony in turn* He's new to this world. Perhaps he's not so cunning as to be playing us all in an orchestrated game. It's possible he just slipped up.

Chris Reimmer (Nov 7, 2011 12:30:42 AM)
*he was speaking mostly ot Peyton*

Peyton Broussard (Nov 7, 2011 12:31:32 AM)
*nods*

Anthony S Barajas (Nov 7, 2011 12:31:43 AM)
Well I have no idea, I've never met the man and have no idea as to what he feels like. We could try a summoning and see what turns out... but that could end badly if we underestimate him.

Darren Coleman (Nov 7, 2011 12:31:45 AM)
"He has already demonstrated a certain sloppiness. The resonance of his ritual... well, that he described it as an 'experiment' is quite fitting." Darren shrugged. "In any case, Julia nearly defeated him by herself. With a modicum of planning, he should be easily dispatched."

Chris Reimmer (Nov 7, 2011 12:32:40 AM)
*he nodded to Darren, then looked to Peyton* You were there too, right? Is that what you saw?

Paige Villawood (Nov 7, 2011 12:32:53 AM)
In the meantime I don't think we should leave Pey alone at any time.

Peyton Broussard (Nov 7, 2011 12:33:19 AM)
Is what what I saw?

Chris Reimmer (Nov 7, 2011 12:33:49 AM)
*He nodded faintly to Paige, then to Peyton* Did Julia nearly defeat him by herself?

Anthony S Barajas (Nov 7, 2011 12:33:50 AM)
Well if you insist, Paige, I suppose I can escort P to my house and let her spend some quality time there.

Peyton Broussard (Nov 7, 2011 12:33:59 AM)
I didn't see much except that Julia was in trouble.. I wasn't confronting him, I just ran in and grabbed Julia

Peyton Broussard (Nov 7, 2011 12:34:14 AM)
Yes.. she did Cris

Paige Villawood (Nov 7, 2011 12:34:41 AM)
*She chuckles at that.* Well I offered her a room at the cottage Anthony, but it's her choice after all.

Peyton Broussard (Nov 7, 2011 12:34:44 AM)
I was amazed

Moses Lee Gale (Nov 7, 2011 12:35:00 AM)
(This user has entered Outside Java the Hut (DtF)) (IP = 94.218.182.230)

Moses Lee Gale (Nov 7, 2011 12:35:04 AM)
*Moses exits Java the Hut, smiling at the small group as he passes and moves towards his Chevy* You all have a good day, *chuckles* Next time remember that conspiricies are usually conducted in a private place, in secret, and usually by a minority. *grins and hops into the vehicle*

Peyton Broussard (Nov 7, 2011 12:35:05 AM)
*smiles* I have already agreed to stay at the cottage

Chris Reimmer (Nov 7, 2011 12:35:06 AM)
*he nodded again and shrugged a bit* Then, maybe we don't need to freak out just yet. It could have been, Pey, that he just saw you, remembered you and is... *he paused* Well, just fucking with you.

Moses Lee Gale (Nov 7, 2011 12:35:14 AM)
(This user has moved to OOC Room) (IP = 94.218.182.230)

Peyton Broussard (Nov 7, 2011 12:35:19 AM)
Possibly

Chris Reimmer (Nov 7, 2011 12:35:26 AM)
Maybe there is no history, no reason for him to pursue or possess you. And he's just getting in your head.

Darren Coleman (Nov 7, 2011 12:36:03 AM)
"She nearly died, and nearly got us killed as well," Darren said flatly. "Despite my advice to retreat." For the first time, the Fiend actually seemed to be feeling something, and that something was faintly annoyed.

Paige Villawood (Nov 7, 2011 12:36:19 AM)
*She nods and looks to the group around her.* So we stick with the initial plan? Get the data on the samples and research the name?

Chris Reimmer (Nov 7, 2011 12:36:20 AM)
(afk!)

Paige Villawood (Nov 7, 2011 12:37:12 AM)
*Nodding to Darren she offers a lopsided smile of sympathy.* I think she's gotten stuck in the body of a teenager with all the angst which that leads to.

Darren Coleman (Nov 7, 2011 12:37:22 AM)
"I will attempt to arrange some loose guidelines for our confrontation, since I have seen his capabilities, in the meantime." A nod to Paige.

Paige Villawood (Nov 7, 2011 12:37:56 AM)
Shall we all agree not to tell Julia about this? Stop her from running into it head first and creating a mess?

Peyton Broussard (Nov 7, 2011 12:38:15 AM)
*nods* that is why I wanted to let you know

Darren Coleman (Nov 7, 2011 12:39:05 AM)
"Unless it proves necessary to actually use her as bait, it is probably best that she remain out of the loose given her documented temperament," Darren agreed.

Darren Coleman (Nov 7, 2011 12:39:12 AM)
loop*

Paige Villawood (Nov 7, 2011 12:40:37 AM)
*She nods in agreement.* In the meantime I'll keep Paige at the cottage with Chris and I, and maybe try to convince Samuel to come stay for a bit too? *She looks to Chris in question before shaking her head and turning back to Anthony and Darren.* You both know the address of my place? We can use that as somewhere to meet and share our findings.

Anthony S Barajas (Nov 7, 2011 12:41:32 AM)
Nope, never been to your house, at least not during the day when I could tell what the address was. *shaking his head slightly* I still say she'd be better off with me, but I can understand your concerns.

Darren Coleman (Nov 7, 2011 12:41:56 AM)
"I have been by, yes," he intoned with a nod.

Paige Villawood (Nov 7, 2011 12:43:19 AM)
*She reaches into her bag and pulls out a plain business card handing it over to Anthony with a smile.* It's completely her choice.

Peyton Broussard (Nov 7, 2011 12:44:27 AM)
*Smiles* I need to go home first and get my stuff.. *She moves to her truck* See you in about an hour

Paige Villawood (Nov 7, 2011 12:45:05 AM)
*She chuckles, the little plaits beside her face swining back and forth once more.* Pey didn't we just say you shouldn't be going anywhere alone?

Peyton Broussard (Nov 7, 2011 12:45:45 AM)
Well I have been alone for most of this evening.. another hour isn't going to make any difference

Peyton Broussard (Nov 7, 2011 12:46:09 AM)
Besides if he was going to grab me he would have done it then

Darren Coleman (Nov 7, 2011 12:47:05 AM)
"It is just as easy for one of us to accompany you, if you wish. If not, there is likely little harm in it, but do make sure you have the ability to quickly contact one of us."

Peyton Broussard (Nov 7, 2011 12:47:36 AM)
I need tospeak with Jean Baptiste as well.. I will call you this time if anything happens

Chris Reimmer (Nov 7, 2011 12:48:12 AM)
(and back)

Darren Coleman (Nov 7, 2011 12:48:38 AM)
He flicked his cigarette away, then pulled a small notebook and pen from his bag, scribbling down the number to his current burner phone. "It is likely that I can arrive more quickly than anyone else." He handed the page to Peyton after tearing it out.

Peyton Broussard (Nov 7, 2011 12:49:30 AM)
*Looks at it then shoves it into her pocket* Thanks Darren

Darren Coleman (Nov 7, 2011 12:50:17 AM)
"If you do not mind, I will walk you to your vehicle," he murmured, after stowing his notebook.

Peyton Broussard (Nov 7, 2011 12:50:56 AM)
Thanks you again Darren *hugs Paige* See you in a little while

Chris Reimmer (Nov 7, 2011 12:50:58 AM)
*he nodded to Darren, looking to Peyton* I doubt he can see your every move. But he could just be looking to spread fear. If so, he's doing a decent job.

Peyton Broussard (Nov 7, 2011 12:51:32 AM)
I am working on it Chris... fear is the mind killer or something I read that somewhere

Darren Coleman (Nov 7, 2011 12:51:32 AM)
Darren readied to follow Peyton to her car.

Chris Reimmer (Nov 7, 2011 12:51:37 AM)
(I am way behind in the conversation, don't mind me... nothing to see here)

Peyton Broussard (Nov 7, 2011 12:52:14 AM)
*Kisses Anthony on the cheek* See you

Peyton Broussard (Nov 7, 2011 12:52:33 AM)
*walks with Darren to her truck*

Darren Coleman (Nov 7, 2011 12:53:23 AM)
He joined her, and upon reaching it would linger at every door that the truck had for a few seconds. "Call even if you suspect trouble, if you feel something is wrong." A final nod to her.

Anthony S Barajas (Nov 7, 2011 12:53:51 AM)
*He reaches his arms around Peyton and gives her a bit of a squeeze, returning the kiss* Try not to end up chained in a basement somewhere.... unless you're in to that sort of thing.

Peyton Broussard (Nov 7, 2011 12:55:00 AM)
Or unless its your basement * grins at him mischievously-THEN she walks to her truck with Darren*

Chris Reimmer (Nov 7, 2011 12:55:26 AM)
*He watched Darren and Peyton move off and looked back to the other two* Well, I regret not getting more involved in this situation when Bri told me this old guy vanished from the hospital.

Peyton Broussard (Nov 7, 2011 12:55:28 AM)
I will. Darren I promise thanks

Darren Coleman (Nov 7, 2011 12:55:49 AM)
"There is no need for thanks," he intoned, before heading back to the others.

Paige Villawood (Nov 7, 2011 12:56:09 AM)
(Sorry guys was pulled afk by rl, back in a bit)

Peyton Broussard (Nov 7, 2011 12:56:12 AM)
((see you guys))

Peyton Broussard (Nov 7, 2011 12:56:18 AM)
(( thanks for RP))

Anthony S Barajas (Nov 7, 2011 12:56:19 AM)
I have manacles with your name on them, P... *watching the two of them head off, before turning back to the conversation*

Anthony S Barajas (Nov 7, 2011 12:56:21 AM)
(take care)

Darren Coleman (Nov 7, 2011 12:56:36 AM)
((seeya!))

Peyton Broussard (Nov 7, 2011 12:56:50 AM)
*waves as she drives by them* See you, Sir

Peyton Broussard (Nov 7, 2011 12:57:11 AM)
(This user has left DigiChat) (IP = 50.130.132.212)

Darren Coleman (Nov 7, 2011 12:58:25 AM)
"This is quite promising," he commented on return.

Paige Villawood (Nov 7, 2011 12:59:54 AM)
(Back and catching up)

Chris Reimmer (Nov 7, 2011 1:00:04 AM)
*he looked over to Darren, a little frown* Well, yet its a pretty strong connection. Think this guy is really playing his hands this openly? *he smirked* Pey has planted a seed of doubt in my mind.

Anthony S Barajas (Nov 7, 2011 1:00:17 AM)
Well I don't know about promising, but it's fun at the very least. Or could be.

Chris Reimmer (Nov 7, 2011 1:00:38 AM)
*he canted his head to the side in consideration* But, like you said, you've seen him in action. And you're not the first one who's told me his work is sloppy

Paige Villawood (Nov 7, 2011 1:01:39 AM)
*She nods a little.* I could be wrong but I have a feeling that talking to Pey was him revealing a weakness.

Darren Coleman (Nov 7, 2011 1:01:54 AM)
"The only potential for worry is his disease, but it is one that we can mitigate upon our confrontation," the Fiend commented. "The possibility for allies of his is also something we should account for."

Paige Villawood (Nov 7, 2011 1:02:54 AM)
*She nods to Darren.* That's a really good point, we're assuming he's working alone.

Anthony S Barajas (Nov 7, 2011 1:03:09 AM)
Or for the fact that he himself could just be a pawn. A test of defenses to see how we react and our capabilities. Or he could be insane and acting on whim and impulse. Or a mastermind dancing us to his tune... there are too many possibilities to know which one might be the truth.

Chris Reimmer (Nov 7, 2011 1:04:03 AM)
*he nodded to Darren as well* I think he likely was acting alone to start, but enough time has elapsed, that he could have drawn the attention of others who seek to spread chaos in this town.

Paige Villawood (Nov 7, 2011 1:04:10 AM)
*She chuckles at that, the humour finally making it's way back into her dark eyes.* Okay okay, we're back to the point of knowing nothing.

Darren Coleman (Nov 7, 2011 1:04:52 AM)
"Precisely," Darren noted, nodding to Anthony. "We do know that he is defeatable. We will need competent melee fighters, and Scourges to help counteract the contagion. I can easily ward wherever we lure him to prevent escape."

Chris Reimmer (Nov 7, 2011 1:06:28 AM)
*he looked between them* Regardless, I think time is something that might be on his side. If he is indeed getting stronger, as it seems. And if he is currently unaligned, given enough time, I have no doubt the agents of Baton Rouge will find him.

Anthony S Barajas (Nov 7, 2011 1:06:45 AM)
Desire. Some of us should be familiar with that at the very least. Find out what it is he wants. Not what he says he wants, but what he's really after. Then we can figure out where the other pieces fall into place.

Paige Villawood (Nov 7, 2011 1:07:28 AM)
Well I will leave you boys to find his desires, since that seems to be your forte and I will instead look to finding the secret of the disease.

Chris Reimmer (Nov 7, 2011 1:07:44 AM)
*Looking to Darren* Can you recall specifically /how/ it was that Julia almost defeated him?

Darren Coleman (Nov 7, 2011 1:08:53 AM)
"It is quite probable that he wishes to kill as many as possible, given how wantonly he spread disease..." His gaze shifted to Chris. "I am not familiar with the particular evocation, but it seemed to rot away a large part of the room, including the Scourge. More ordinary ranged attacks are quite ineffectual against him, though."

Darren Coleman (Nov 7, 2011 1:09:20 AM)
((translation: tormented decay spam from a Halaku, surprise!))

Chris Reimmer (Nov 7, 2011 1:09:29 AM)
((yeah, figured as much))

Paige Villawood (Nov 7, 2011 1:11:25 AM)
We should probably not be standing around in the street making secret plans. Anyone want to come back to the cottage for a coffee?

Chris Reimmer (Nov 7, 2011 1:11:50 AM)
*he nodded to that, reaching up to push some hair back from his face* Good to know. If we do end up having to face off.

Darren Coleman (Nov 7, 2011 1:11:54 AM)
"The location of our planning matters very little to me," Darren noted.

Paige Villawood (Nov 7, 2011 1:12:44 AM)
*She smiles over at Darrne, the humour making it's way back into her voice.* I tihnk you meant "that sounds great Paige."

Darren Coleman (Nov 7, 2011 1:13:53 AM)
His brow furrowed, but then, slowly, he worked it out. "Yes. Coffee at the cottage does indeed sound magnificent." Anyone else might have been mocking her, saying it in that flat tone of his...

Anthony S Barajas (Nov 7, 2011 1:14:17 AM)
Sounds like a bit of a stag party to me, but sure, why not.

Paige Villawood (Nov 7, 2011 1:15:09 AM)
*The smile never leaving her eyes she nevertheless keeps her face serious as she nods to Darren.* I thought that was what you meant. *The humour filled gaze flicking to Anthony she slips her hands into her pockets once more as she looks between the two of them.* In that case... did anyone drive here?

Anthony S Barajas (Nov 7, 2011 1:15:39 AM)
I've got my car aroiund the back. Only room for one more in the front, but I can fit two in the bed.

Darren Coleman (Nov 7, 2011 1:15:58 AM)
"I did not." A pause. "What is a stag party?"

Chris Reimmer (Nov 7, 2011 1:16:16 AM)
*he looked to Anthony, a cautious tone* The bed?

Paige Villawood (Nov 7, 2011 1:16:49 AM)
*She waves her hand before her indicating that Anthony should lead the way, smiling now as she looks over to Darren.* A mans party before he gets married. Usually it involves a great deal of alchohol and multiple strippers.

Paige Villawood (Nov 7, 2011 1:16:51 AM)
(brb)

Paige Villawood (Nov 7, 2011 1:17:38 AM)
(and back)

Anthony S Barajas (Nov 7, 2011 1:17:40 AM)
*glancing over at Chris he grins* I drive an El Camino, you know. The front is like a car, the back is like a truck? Stylin; but limited room for passengers, unless they wanna ride in the bed.

Darren Coleman (Nov 7, 2011 1:19:06 AM)
"... that has very little to do with deer," he commented. "I will make my own way to the cottage, rather than ride in the back of an El Camino," he added definitively.

Chris Reimmer (Nov 7, 2011 1:19:07 AM)
*He laughed and looked over incredulously* You drive an El Camino? Seriously? *He looked out into the night a grin on his face and back* I'm honestly surprised. Not sure what to think about that. *He clearly took some humour out of that somehow*

Paige Villawood (Nov 7, 2011 1:20:40 AM)
*She nods to Darren walking along with the group and seeming to be in a constant state of amusment at the interactions that take place between them all.* I'll see you back there then and tag along with these two while they talk cars.

Darren Coleman (Nov 7, 2011 1:21:20 AM)
He nodded, and slipped off. Apparently he had some time to kill!

Chris Reimmer (Nov 7, 2011 1:22:22 AM)
*He shook his head* There's no way I'm riding in the back of that lead sled while you ride up front with the ever so tactful devil. *He turned to Darren* Mind some company?

Anthony S Barajas (Nov 7, 2011 1:22:23 AM)
Glad to hear it... *chuckling a bit* I'm only happy when I'm surprising people. *moving towards the parking lot, he heads over to a pimped out white El Camino lowrider. Tricked out rims, spinners and all of that*

Darren Coleman (Nov 7, 2011 1:22:51 AM)
He paused. "I do not."

Chris Reimmer (Nov 7, 2011 1:23:18 AM)
*he nodded, looking back to Anthony* Then I'll leave you to shamelessly try to seduce Paige along in your El Camino.

Paige Villawood (Nov 7, 2011 1:23:41 AM)
*She smiles and shakes her head, waving to the two as they head off alone before turning back to Anthony.* I think your car might be considered anti social.

Chris Reimmer (Nov 7, 2011 1:24:02 AM)
(alone, that is) *With a dip of his head, giving a little wink to Paige* Don't give up too easy. *he grnned and turned to walk with Darren*

Paige Villawood (Nov 7, 2011 1:24:40 AM)
*Her smile transforming into a grin she calls after Chris as the two walked away.* Is that advice in general or just for my dealings with Anthony?

Anthony S Barajas (Nov 7, 2011 1:25:15 AM)
It's the best way to do things; shamelessly. Shame smacks too much of self-consciousness for me.

Chris Reimmer (Nov 7, 2011 1:25:34 AM)
*he didn't look fully back at her, calling over his shoulder* Both! *he looked back to the the fiend and shrugged* What can ya do, right?

Darren Coleman (Nov 7, 2011 1:26:47 AM)
"Probably quite a few things," he replied.

Paige Villawood (Nov 7, 2011 1:27:06 AM)
*She chuckles as she watches Chris and Darren head off for a few moments before looking over the roof of his car and to Anthony.* You know I think he might be starting to actually like you.

Chris Reimmer (Nov 7, 2011 1:27:59 AM)
*he frowned, shaking his head slightly looking over, the frown replaced by a grin* Dammit Darren, it's just a figure of speech. *he laughed* Nevermind.

Chris Reimmer (Nov 7, 2011 1:28:08 AM)
((Lies!))

Paige Villawood (Nov 7, 2011 1:28:58 AM)
(lol)

Anthony S Barajas (Nov 7, 2011 1:29:02 AM)
That would be a shame; I do so try to be unlikable. I'd hate to think I was losing my touch. *he unlocks the doors and slides the key in as the radio cranks up, bass filling the speakers and jarring the windows of nearby cars*

Anthony S Barajas (Nov 7, 2011 1:29:07 AM)
(*grins*()

Darren Coleman (Nov 7, 2011 1:29:13 AM)
"Ah. Then you are not bothered by the driving arrangements?"

Paige Villawood (Nov 7, 2011 1:30:31 AM)
*Getting into the passenger seat she makes herself comfortable and pulls the seatbelt accross her chest. Leaning forward she turns down the radio and swivels a little so that her back rests against the door and she can watch Anthony with her level gaze.* So?

Chris Reimmer (Nov 7, 2011 1:31:44 AM)
*he cast a sidelong glance at the fiend as they walked* You know, I almost can't tell if you're just fucking with me sometimes. *He smirked, looking back out into the darkness, turning to his inquiry* Just, don't worry about it.

Anthony S Barajas (Nov 7, 2011 1:32:24 AM)
Isn't that my line to use, or are you waiting for me to take off my shirt? *glancing over at her as he pulls out of the parking lot*

Paige Villawood (Nov 7, 2011 1:33:31 AM)
*Crossing her legs she continues to watch his profile as he drives despite the shadows of drifting lights cast accross his features.* You know what I'm talking about Anthony. I was just wondering if either of us was actually going to say it out loud.

Darren Coleman (Nov 7, 2011 1:33:43 AM)
"It is not in my nature," he replied blandly, his right eyebrow arching slightly. "At any rate, -I- was certainly not worried about it. From what I can make of Darren's knowledge, an El Camino is far from an impressive 'whip'." He even made air quotes to accompany the slang term.

Anthony S Barajas (Nov 7, 2011 1:34:54 AM)
You are my sun, my moon, my starlit sky? Without you I dwell in darkness? *grinning a bit* Or were you referring to the opportunity presented?

Anthony S Barajas (Nov 7, 2011 1:36:23 AM)
(brb)

Paige Villawood (Nov 7, 2011 1:37:25 AM)
*She shakes her head a little as she watches him, a wave given out the window towards Chris and Darren as the car passes them by.* I'm your memory of dances in the starlit skies, there's a difference and you more than any man know it, rogue that you are. *She bites for a moment on her bottom lip.* As for the second, I thought you might have noticed.

Chris Reimmer (Nov 7, 2011 1:38:28 AM)
*He looked laughed again, nodding along* It's an interesting choice of vehicle, at least. *he glanced at his watch a moment before looking over* Hey, you got an extra smoke? *he smirked* You can take it off your tab with Paige for the coffee.

Darren Coleman (Nov 7, 2011 1:39:20 AM)
"I made roughly ten dollars in that deal. You may consider the cigarette free." He eased his pack out, withdrawing two- one for the Defiler, and one for himself.

Chris Reimmer (Nov 7, 2011 1:40:46 AM)
*he reached over to take the smoke, putting it between his lips, he reached into his back pocket to pull out a Bic lighter, speaking through pursed lips* Brought my own lighter at least this time. *he slowed his pace, almost stopping completely to light it*

Anthony S Barajas (Nov 7, 2011 1:41:45 AM)
(back)

Darren Coleman (Nov 7, 2011 1:42:33 AM)
He applied flame to his own. "In regard to what we discussed last night, I believe I will accept the arrangement, with some conditions." He took a drag to get the cherry ignited, then stowed the pack and lighter.

Anthony S Barajas (Nov 7, 2011 1:43:11 AM)
I did. Worth looking into at the very least. I still think it's too early to begin making any plans though. *Anthony's driving is reckless at the best of times; with little regard to traffic laws, lights and speed limits. He barely has an understanding of right of way or the flow of traffic*

Paige Villawood (Nov 7, 2011 1:44:12 AM)
*She smiles, a dark little glitter behind her eyes that spoke of a ruthlessness that so few saw. Turning away from him her eyes slip to the window as she watches the world slip by.* I agree, I was just curious to see if we were on the same page.

Anthony S Barajas (Nov 7, 2011 1:46:02 AM)
*And soon enough; they are at Paige's place. No traffic tickets at least, but then again, the cops are always focused on the bars this time of night. Makes it easier to do your law-breaking before closing time*

Paige Villawood (Nov 7, 2011 1:46:33 AM)
(And that's my cue!)

Chris Reimmer (Nov 7, 2011 1:46:48 AM)
*he took a drag, nodding as he blew the smoke out to the side* Yeah, I imagine there would be some. *flicking the ashes he looked over* Alright, what's your price?

Darren Coleman (Nov 7, 2011 1:49:30 AM)
"First, the arrangement will be terminated immediately and with prejudice should you begin imagining yourself to be in control of me." He said it calmly, rather than in a paranoid or antagonistic fashion. "I have no intentions of trading one potential superior for another, and will be quite angry should you attempt to manipulate me into a position of subservience."

Chris Reimmer (Nov 7, 2011 1:54:28 AM)
*he nodded, he'd heard something like that not a few days earlier, taking a drag, he spoke as he exhaled.* Yeah, that's fair. *he looked out ahead* What else.

Darren Coleman (Nov 7, 2011 1:55:49 AM)
-This- one required a pause. "I would like your help learning to understand others."

Chris Reimmer (Nov 7, 2011 1:56:48 AM)
*he looked over this time, his brow furrowed slightly. It couldn't be what it appeared, could it?* What do you mean?

Darren Coleman (Nov 7, 2011 1:59:08 AM)
It wasn't easy for him to say it. He was looking down, and took a long drag on his cigarette then exhaled before replying. "My capability to decieve only goes so far amongst mortals, and our kind, to a degree. I wish to... give myself more of a foundation with normal interaction." He finally glanced over, adding quickly: "It would be in the best interest of our partnership. The better I am able to pass myself off as normal, the easier it will be for me to operate."

Chris Reimmer (Nov 7, 2011 2:01:57 AM)
*The defiler kept the humour completely off his face and out of his eyes, nodding understandingly. But it amused him to no end, it was like some kind of cheesy movie script, the defiler teaching the fiend about social interaction in exchange for help with investigations... a quick glance to the sky to see if God was watching with a wry grin* Alright Darren. *he flicked the ash off this smoke* I can help you with that, absolutely.

Darren Coleman (Nov 7, 2011 2:02:52 AM)
"Very well." Nodding somewhat uncomfortably. "Unless you have any ammendments of your own, we should likely proceed to Paige's."

Chris Reimmer (Nov 7, 2011 2:09:10 AM)
My only caveat is that our arrangement remain absolutely secret, and you keep any information I share with you from the Ministries completely to yourself. *he took a drag* You aptly noted yesterday that I am taking a risk here. *he looked over* And I don't want to sound like a bully or too overconfident here, but if you cross me over this...*he paused* Well, I can likely survive a transgression revealed by you, thanks to the very skills of mine you wish to learn from. But I would be very, very... *he threw away the butt, speaking in a flat, almost emotionless, if that were possibe for a defiler, tone *...upset with you. *he looked up ahead* Paige's is just up here.

Darren Coleman (Nov 7, 2011 2:10:25 AM)
"So noted," Darren commented, then nodded when he pointed out how close they were. "Ah... I took a different route here to deliver the samples."

Darren Coleman (Nov 7, 2011 2:10:34 AM)
*So noted, and agreed.

Chris Reimmer (Nov 7, 2011 2:10:53 AM)
(Shall we shamelessly room hop?)
