Swan's loft apartment was quaint, and undecorated, unless you count several locks which had been added to the door as decorations. There was a couch and a TV, from the host's days, but the real sight was on the wall between his bedroom and the living room. There sat a custom desktop setup to make a nerd weep...6 monitors, ranging in size, a tower lit up by various colored LEDs, with three home server towers set up as databanks. Swan would be sitting infront of the desktop, perched almost like a bird on the chair...a habit of the host...with his laptop out and connected to the beast of a home computer.

[[ok just post ill jump in when i need to]]

Aswan Kaguro (Sep 15, 2010 10:24:54 PM)
Swan muttered Valefar's name, and a brief invite to his place.

Yuri Yanoro (Sep 15, 2010 10:28:22 PM)
Valefar felt the chords of his existance being plucked as his name was called, the invocation recieved. That would make two nights in a row one of the local elohim had thus summoned him. The first seemed for no other reason than to do so. Would this would fair the same? He turned from the spiritual reflections of the crypt he stood in front of and he 'moved'. Covering miles in seconds, Yuri darted through the shadows of haven until arriving in the loft. He stopped as he entered the main room, Swan coming into view before slipping through the veil into the material world.

Aswan Kaguro (Sep 15, 2010 10:29:18 PM)
Swan looked over his shoulder at guest, "I first wanna welcome you to my crib. Then we can get down to the real reason I asked you here...I need your help." He stood, "You have skills that this plan I devised greatly needs."

Yuri Yanoro (Sep 15, 2010 10:32:14 PM)
He tilted his head, his eyes narrowing skepticly at the fiend. He fished one of his hand rolled cigarillos from his coat, sparking it before responding in his poorly chopped english. "Skills.....for your plan." He took a long draw, his next words puffing through a stream of spiced smoke. "What plan could you have that I can aid you with?"

Aswan Kaguro (Sep 15, 2010 10:33:34 PM)
"Plan is simple," his tone lowered for no real reason, mostly dramatic effect. "You remember this book we're gettign all this shit for? I got a location. I'd need you to pop in to the building, see if the book is chilling around. If it is, hang around 'til you can snag it...if not, then no harm no foul."

Yuri Yanoro (Sep 15, 2010 10:35:44 PM)
His tongue ran across his teeth when Aswan mentioned the book, a brow raising when he claimed to have a location. He took a deep draw from his smoke, "Where?"

Aswan Kaguro (Sep 15, 2010 10:37:24 PM)
"The gentlemen's club that dick First house runs," his tone full of seriousness, "I know it's a rick, but we don't have reaon to believe he has anyone like you."

Yuri Yanoro (Sep 15, 2010 10:39:57 PM)
He frowned slightly, one of his hands raising up to scratch pensively at the thick stubble along his jaw. Potentialy rob one of the first house. He shook his head slightly, "What makes you think it's there?"

Aswan Kaguro (Sep 15, 2010 10:41:25 PM)
"Well, people don't tend to lie to a person about to torch thier passion," he said, a slight smile on his face.

Yuri Yanoro (Sep 15, 2010 10:44:15 PM)
He fell silent for a moment, taking another long draw from the cigarello as he thought it over. At length, he rolled his shoulders in a small shrug. "It couldn't hurt to look from across the veil....If I see something.....", he trailed off, shrugging beneath his coat.

Aswan Kaguro (Sep 15, 2010 10:45:01 PM)
"Exactly," he leaned on his desk, "So you in then?"

Yuri Yanoro (Sep 15, 2010 10:46:51 PM)
A long stream of smoke escaped his nose before he nodded. Turning around, he moved to let himself out. He would walk the streets of New Orleans until he reached a cemetary nearby. The city had them in ample supply. From there he would shift into Haven, and head off to the Devil's territory in search of the book.

Aswan Kaguro (Sep 15, 2010 10:49:18 PM)
Aswan waits, resuming his activities on the computer

steev (Sep 15, 2010 10:50:37 PM)
*As yuri searched he would come across a safe... it was perhaps the only thing besides the walls that was the same on both sides of the shroud. It looked old and rusted but still pretty sound*

Yuri Yanoro (Sep 15, 2010 10:55:31 PM)
He had taken upon the shadowy form of his true self, as he passed through the home. When he found the safe in the office, he could only guess that it would hold what they sought out. He made one last look about, ever wary, before sliding through the fabric of the veil into the material. Leaning in close, he called upon the knowledge of his host in an attempt to crack the safe. It was old, a factor on his side..and it would be much more pleasant than the alternative....

Yuri Yanoro (Sep 15, 2010 11:02:49 PM)
He frowned, or would have if the shadowy matter inside his hood had facial expressions. He didn't know where to start in cracking the safe on his own. The fiend. The shadows whipped around him, revealing his agitation as his icey grip reached forward and latched onto the safe itself. Calling upon the power given to him by those who called him God, Valefar tore back through the veil into the world of the dead, safe in toe, to leave only a gaping hole in the wall where it had been mounted. On the other side he wrapped his arms around it, lifting it up with a whispy grunt of exilleration. He then began to 'move', flickering through the shadows of haven towards the Fiend's loft, treasure in hand.

Yuri Yanoro (Sep 15, 2010 11:05:52 PM)
There came a loud thud as the safe hit the ground. Still wrapped in the shadows of the underworld, it was the only factor that anounced his presence as he returned to the material world behind Aswan. In the dim lighting of the strange fiend's loft, Valefar proved nearly invisible. His voice was a hissing whisper, an inflection of death and sorrow. "It is all I could find..."

Aswan Kaguro (Sep 15, 2010 11:08:34 PM)
Aswan jumped, "Fucking a man! Shit..." He stood and walked over to the safe. Kneeling down, "Real subtle man...hope he doesn't miss the safe," he touched the safe, willign it to open for him.

steev (Sep 15, 2010 11:10:19 PM)
*inside teh safe you would find a very old book. An oldlether bound cover that read book of names in a primitive enochian bastardization of the first language. the words in silver that sparkled bightly and attatched to the cover by bindings*

Yuri Yanoro (Sep 15, 2010 11:11:54 PM)
A shadowy hand reached out from his robes as the safe fell open, grabbing the book. He lifted it quickly, the urge of necessity for haste overcoming caution. Flipping open it's cover, he began sifting through the pages, hungrily seeking his own name to put his fears at rest.

steev (Sep 15, 2010 11:13:13 PM)
*there was name after name scribbled in the book... some you would vaguely recognize... some not at all. The words scribbled in latin on page after page. Only rows of names and nothing more, no order, no catagorization.*

Aswan Kaguro (Sep 15, 2010 11:14:09 PM)
"I take it back," he stood, "this was a gread plan. FInd your name, and get rid of it." He focused for a moment, and locked down his apartment, best way he could. (Portals 2: 09/15/10 23:13:03 Aswan Kaguro rolls 5 dice vs. diff of 6 to Charisma + Intuition: 3, 3, 9, 8, 8 : 3 successes)

Yuri Yanoro (Sep 15, 2010 11:14:47 PM)
He glided across the room to a table, laying the book out on it's surface. He would be content to scan each and every name until he was certain his own was not included. He seemed not to even hear Aswan, consumed with need.

steev (Sep 15, 2010 11:15:19 PM)
[[ok here is the deal... it would literally take a day or two to find your name in the book. so either study that long or use some kind of ability to speed up the process, or try something else. ]]

Yuri Yanoro (Sep 15, 2010 11:15:38 PM)
( Ah. You got patterns 1, Aswan? )

Aswan Kaguro (Sep 15, 2010 11:15:46 PM)
[MAybe :P]

Yuri Yanoro (Sep 15, 2010 11:16:35 PM)
( That should work. Look for the congruance of our names, look for which page the possibility collects on. )

Yuri Yanoro (Sep 15, 2010 11:17:18 PM)
( Or to better word it, if we were to read through the book over the next few days, which page would we be on when we found it. )

steev (Sep 15, 2010 11:17:42 PM)
it would probably be in the book]]]

Yuri Yanoro (Sep 15, 2010 11:20:05 PM)
He drew back from the book, the shadows and robes rustling about his body furiously, even though the tempestual winds never seemed to affect the world aroudn him. The two pale pin pricks of light beneath his hood that served as his eyes turned to the fiend. "There are too many, but this is of utmost importance. Can you find them? Our names?"

*as aswan focused he would see the pattern of searches. his eyes drifing from page to page as he leafed through. finally he would find two seperate pages of names.... focusing in on one specifically he would know as his own... the other knwoing what page it was on but not exactly where*

steev (Sep 15, 2010 11:30:00 PM)
[[ok its your celestial name aswan]]

Aswan Kaguro (Sep 15, 2010 11:30:45 PM)
[So, page 1 has my name, p[age 2 has Yuris?

steev (Sep 15, 2010 11:30:51 PM)

steev (Sep 15, 2010 11:31:24 PM)
[[correct]]

Aswan Kaguro (Sep 15, 2010 11:32:41 PM)
"Shit," he read the first page, "It's not True Names. Take a look for your self." He pointed to the other page with Yuri's name on it.

Yuri Yanoro (Sep 15, 2010 11:32:43 PM)
As he took the page offered him, confusion set in. While still dangerous to have floating about, this wasn't nearly what he feared....and was not what they had been looking for. Seeking explination, his gaze turned to the Fiend.

Aswan Kaguro (Sep 15, 2010 11:34:04 PM)
"There was nothing else in the room, nothing else at all?" his tone tense, like someone who'd just fucked up.

steev (Sep 15, 2010 11:34:33 PM)
[[you can both roll awareness btw if youd like]]

Yuri Yanoro (Sep 15, 2010 11:34:46 PM)
He cast a glance towards the safe on the ground. "You don't think I would have brought it if there were something else?"

Yuri Yanoro (Sep 15, 2010 11:34:55 PM)

*Ok as you steand next to the book suddenly you would feel the energies pouring off of it. Though it would not show to all, those with power would be able to see the bright light that eminated form the book. it shone a bright blue... slowly growing brighter with each second*

Aswan Kaguro (Sep 15, 2010 11:38:21 PM)
"Shit...shit...shit..." he closed the book, and slid it back into the safe, closing the safe shut.

steev (Sep 15, 2010 11:39:51 PM)
*The light would go out as it was put in the safe.. only to reappear moments later as it grew outside the walls of the safe. growing brighter and larger... and then before anything could be done the light gave a blinding flash. Extinguishing itself in the proccess*

Yuri Yanoro (Sep 15, 2010 11:41:27 PM)
Valefar had slid backwards when the Fiend tossed the book into the safe, retreating instinctively towards the shadow. His pale glowing eyes fixed on Aswan, still expecting the fiend to have information on what had just happened.

Aswan Kaguro (Sep 15, 2010 11:41:36 PM)
"Crap, can you ditch the safe into Haven...just Haven right here is fine...just outta sight?" his tone was almost panicky.

Aswan Kaguro (Sep 15, 2010 11:42:19 PM)
[Anything I can roll to figure out more about the light?]

steev (Sep 15, 2010 11:42:38 PM)
*it was a few brief seconds later when the knock came at the door. A slow polite knock, the kind people used when hocking the lord as your one true savior in this life*

Aswan Kaguro (Sep 15, 2010 11:43:03 PM)
[Nevermind...I was right on assumprion]

steev (Sep 15, 2010 11:43:17 PM)
[[okie dokes]]

Yuri Yanoro (Sep 15, 2010 11:44:27 PM)
Gliding across the room, Valefar placed his hands on the safe. He made no haste in calling upon his natural affinity, utilizing the power of faith to shift through the veil easily. Even then he moved through the shadow reflection of the loft, stashing the item in a closet.

Aswan Kaguro (Sep 15, 2010 11:45:32 PM)
Aswan walked over to the door, "Who the hell's there?"

steev (Sep 15, 2010 11:46:57 PM)
Ea.... *the name was small and simple like the tone of the voice. It sounded like a girl that lived on his floor. Though he had only met her a few times in passing*

Aswan Kaguro (Sep 15, 2010 11:48:24 PM)
"Really?" his tone was a mix of relief, shock and horror, "What do you want?"

steev (Sep 15, 2010 11:48:57 PM)
To talk... It's important. *the sweet voice a bit monotone as it came through the door*

Aswan Kaguro (Sep 15, 2010 11:49:50 PM)
"That'd be what we're doing now," he calmed a little.

steev (Sep 15, 2010 11:50:27 PM)
Open the door Demon... we should talk in person, and I don't have much time.

Yuri Yanoro (Sep 15, 2010 11:50:46 PM)
Yuri slipped through the shadows of haven, a nearly invisible specter amongst a world of death. He lingered near the door, watching Aswan through the blur of the veil. He would not leave the fiend to his fate, but he would not show his hand too early either.

Aswan Kaguro (Sep 15, 2010 11:52:35 PM)
Aswan unlocked the door, and opened the door. The door way would be full of wisps of fog, as his ward stood. His tone was more firm now, "And here we are..."

steev (Sep 15, 2010 11:54:48 PM)
*When he opened the door he would see it immediately. The thick viscous fluids taht ran from where the girls eyes had been. Oil slick goo that ran down and out her mouth and ears. Over her lips as she talked. Oozing down over the adorable little panda pjs she had worn to bed.* May I come in?

Aswan Kaguro (Sep 15, 2010 11:56:41 PM)
"Mhhm...no. You wanted in person, this is as best you get," he looked at the girl, "I'm not a trusting person. So speak, before I close the door and get on with my business."
