How many times has she slipped in to find it empty. The memories of the building bringing up her past, both good and bad. Now, its become her haven once more and she keeps to the place more often then not. Hovering near the windows or just outside on the porch, a small cold presence on the stoop that watches the streets and activities outside the library. She'll listen to the blaring music coming from Haven itself but less and less time she goes there. She'll wander the streets alone and see faces familiar and new alike, blurring as she continues on as some specter. Her thoughts are always a jumble now a days but she doesn't seem distraught or sad as she had in the past. She holds no more of that loneliness she battled back in the Coven.
Adjusting to the newness of belonging in something didn't take too long either. There were good people there that she could learn to trust and then there are those that come and go that she harbors distrust and indifference to. And though she is unable to be there as she had or as much as she'd like, she still attends what she could to make a place for her. She's in no hurry to rise up any further where she is. Or to show that what she was so diligently taught. More then just blood, sweat and tears under the tutaliage of her father and family. Its good to be the daughter of a demon that has no true form. Her regenerative properties has grown astounding and she was able to reform lost limbs and heal with ease. The pregnacies giving her so much hope and love; her two children bringing her such joy, for someone that thought never to have any. To ever let anyone knock her up. But she had loved those moments, the life growing within her, the power they would be born from her very being...she could only hope that they would do well.
The Shadow Lands is where she thrived most. Her children grew quickly. She was always amazed to see her youngest running by, nearly as tall as she and already beginning to mature..soon she would be bred and produce a stronger brood of offspring. Her eldest she wonders if he has already begun to plant his seed within the women he bedded...Her Rowan..Her strength. He was so like her in appearance with his father's dark hair and deep eyes to contrast. Soah..how she looked more like her father then herself. It brought a smile to her lips because they begun to look older then her it seemed day by day.
There's a sound and she feels heat at her cool back, a smile coming to her lips as strong, thickly muscled arms come around her in an embrace that nearly stops her breathing, but its a welcomed thing that she always craves and receives in full. Leaning back, she lets him support her, the Darkness that she guides with her Light. This is what its like to be happy finally. To feel loved and not having to worry about being abandoned any longer. Never having to worry of loosing her Love to another.

Childrens' Grammar is so Kewt!
Small feet come running from the next room, the soft patter proving the individual bare footed. Neri blinks and looks up from the paper work strewn out infront of her, the gown tugged up around her knees to let her legs enjoy the coolness hitting over her shin after a long day in the heat. Even as cold as she is, she still reacted badly to the heat even as she had when she was breathing. A yawn escaping, she searches the one that entered her chamber and smiles to see a small white head where curled bounced down their back and around round cheeks. The smile on the child's face was infectious and she couldn't help but shower kisses upon their upturned face while she cups between her small cool hands. "And why are ya not in bed? Hmmmm? " She whispers softly as she sits back and slips her hands under the child's arms to lift up into her lap and cuddle close to her, running talon tipped fingers through the snowy white mane that rivals her own nearly. "Pappa said could stay up!"
Neri lifts a brow and ends up laughing. "He did did he?" A nod is given in response, the giggles coming from the child making her laugh all the more. " Well, I'm your mother and I said no." She taps her child's nose tip and smiles lovingly. " Its bed time for both of us. I have a lotta stuff to do tomorrow and you've been up all day without a nap too. Your grandpa is spoilin' you rotten." The lower lip thrusts out as they look to her and gives those huge puppy dog eyes that could make any heart melt but she's learned the game and just shakes her head with a soft laugh again. " Sorry, baby doll. Its bed time for us both. " The whimper goes on deaf ears as Neri lifts her child up into her arms and carries them to their own room, tucking snuggly into the bed and covering her precious in for the night.
"Can help momma tomowwo?" She turns the light down so that there was only a gentle glow in the room and looks over as she strokes hair from the pale brow. " Of course you can, baby doll. But only if ya promise not to draw on the blue prints. Pappa got mad the last time." She bends down to kiss her child on the forehead as a giggle erupts and gives a nod. "Pwammous, mommy."
She ends up chuckling and gives a sleepy sigh. "Nini precious." Neri gives another kiss to her offspring and gets up to leave the room even as the child's eyes begin to droop, heading for her own room to get some shut eye.
Neri lifts a brow and ends up laughing. "He did did he?" A nod is given in response, the giggles coming from the child making her laugh all the more. " Well, I'm your mother and I said no."

The Smart Way to Kidnap a Demon?
17 Nexen: Oooh, Miss Felice *bows her torso deeply, hands folded in front of her skirt*
Felice bows gently to 17, "How are you 17, it seems like so long since I have seen you here... not got caught in any closets have we?"
17 Nexen: No closets no Miss. this one ran out of power while on an errand and it took some time before someone came to this one's aid Miss. But she is fully functional again now and back to her duties *she nods her head politely*
Felice shakes her head slowly, "I hope you will take better care of yourself in the future 17, perhaps we might arrange something with the Continuum to keep you running more smoothely."
17 Nexen: This one was helped by them once before. they are very skilled. it would be a good idea Miss. They designed an additional suit in case this one were to end up on hostile situations.
Felice tilts her head curiously, "IS that so, what does this suit entail? I will have to ask them to write up a bill for Denny...." she says rubbing her chin slowly.
17 Nexen: It is merely a protective armor in their own style and design. 17 was attacked when she first set foot on this city and one of the Continuum came to her aid. and made the armor for her protection to reach somewhere safe. Then this one arrived in the library *she smiles warmly*
Felice nods slowly understanding, "Ahhh.... and we are very greatful to have you here 17. I assume you recieved your duties and have been following them to the best of your ability? Or am I incorrect?"
17 Nexen: This one is doing her best to keep everything in order Miss. This one was jsut finishing up on her duties for today by polishing the chess set. But then Sir Masukami arrived and talked to 17. And this one escorted him to the church.
17 Nexen: After which this one travelled to the south district to look for any problems that might occur there.
17 Nexen: Oh, greetings Miss *she bows deeply as she folds her hands in front of her skirt. nodding deeply towards Nerissa*
Felice asks, "Did you enjoy your time with Denny?" nods gently as she sees Nerissa, "Ah Nerissa, I do not think you have met 17, she is our librarian on duty most often when she is here and tidies when others are on errands."
17 Nexen: He is very kind and interesting, yes Miss Felicia. it was very interesting to see him pray. Though.. 17 is slightly concerned as he seemed to be very distracted while he travelled to the southern area Miss.
Nerissa holds against herself a folder containing some paperwork, looking tired and withdrawn, and not wanting to interrupt. She looks up over to the pink clad female with a shake of her head. "No. Its the first time. Hallo, 17.." She looks to Felice apologetically. "Just wanted to give ya this.." SHe holds it out to her
17 Nexen looks at Nerissa and closes her large eyes and smiles warmly
Felice takes up her stack of papers and nods, "This is very fruitful of you Nerissa, thank you." she holds them to her chest a bit protectively looking down at them. "17 this is Nerissa, a fairly recent addition to the library."
17 Nexen: it is always a pleasure to welcome and meet any members of the library. Welcome Miss Nerissa. 17 would be very honored to help you with anything you might require here Miss Nerissa *nods her head politely with closed eyes and a kind smile*
Neri smiles. "Actually, I've been around these parts for a very long time..I've known Denethorn a long time too."
Felice looks over Nerissa's shoulder seeing Ada, "Hello Ada, lovely to see you here, how are you?"
Ada smiles and waves hello to felice"Hello Felice"moving in closer...
Nerissa Dae shifts on the steps to look back behind her.
17 Nexen bows deeply to Ada and smiles warmly "welcome to the library Miss. Please enjoy your stay"
Ada nods to her "Thank you"
Nerissa tries not to look so frightful and licks at the dried blood on her skin while she chews at her lips. "I'll go ...sort books.." She makes an excuse to give them privacy. Most likely she'll just be buried nose deep in one when she finds something.
Felice eye glint gently looking down to Ada once more, "Any change in your life that might be ground breaking?" she says clasping her hands tightly and holding her breath.
Felice watches Nerissa and nods gently, "That suits me well..."
Ada steps closer...
Ada, shifting her eyes back to Felice, tells her, "Oh i just wanted to give you the information i said i would bring back"...reaches into her pocket pulling out a peice of paper handing it to Felice.."sorry it took some time to get it back to you"
Felice shakes her head and accepts the paper looking at it approvingly, "Certainly not... I asked you to take your time and you have if you feel it is sufficiently filled out..." she states witha gentle nod. "Denny and I will review it very soon and see where we might place you." she says gently.
17 Nexen looks between the two ladies and smiles. Folding her hands together then looking to Felicia "should this one continue her duties and give you two some privacy Miss Felicia?
Felice bows gently, "Felice 17, just Felice.... and you may either attend to your duties or travel about if you like. It sounded as though you were enjoying your experiences outside."
Ada nods "I did give him a copy of it...but i gave it to you as well..I did say i would hand it in to you "
Nerissa Dae can be heard singing from somewhere in the rows of books, a sweet innocent tone from the small demon. Its an old tone and holds a folkish sound to it though the lyrics seem distorted or in some odd language.
Felice bows deeply, "And for simply the pleasure of your company, even for a few moments, is my own reward." she says softly. "How ever I do have an appointment that I should keep."
17 Nexen bows her head slowly "as you wish M.. Felicia."pauses a moment and then looks towards nerissa with a smile on her lips. Then moves to the chess set
17 Nexen reaches down and takes a small cloth from the rim of her stocking. Then takes a black bishop and starts to polish the chesspiece
Ada smiles softly to her"Well i will take my leave ..thank you again for your time Felice..it was good to see you again"
Felice nods gently to her, "It is a pleasure to see you are well still in health Ada."
17 Nexen polishes the black bisshop untill it's nice and shiny. she bends over and places the bisschop back in it's place and takes up the queen.
Ada Habana nods and smiles onces more befor she turns and walks out ...
Felice Nightfire glances over her should and turns, "I will be at the hospital if I am needed." she states before moving to the door.
17 Nexen: yes Felicia. Are you alright? *tilts her head*
Felice nods gently, "I am quite well... I just have some business there to attend to. I must restock our supplies before they are all taken. Supplies have been cut short recently, coming in from the mainland."
17 Nexen smiles and nods "Please be well Felicia, and have a lovely day."
Ner pulls another book down after replacing the one she had beforehand, still singing to herself quietly, while she sways side to side lazily, tail sweeping counter her movement.
Felice bows gently to her, "You as well 17, take care Nerissa." she calls over to her, seeming content as she sees Nerissa and 17 seeming so pleasent.
17 Nexen goes back to polishing the chess set. She picks up piece after piece and polishes them all untill they all look nice and shiny
Sister Luna lands silently on the balcony and without a sound makes her way to the railing to look down
17 Nexen rubs her cloth over the black pieces. Polishing them one by one as she hums a soft playful tune.
Sister Luna seeing the woman in pink..but not the target she leans over so she is almost hanging upside down, and finally spots her target in a row of book cases...pulls herself up and silently makes her way to the stairs and starts down
Nerissa Dae seems to of found something to finally focus on while she thinks, the song she speaks growing softer and without though itself as she slowly turns page after page.
17 Nexen sets the piece back down and takes up an ivory white rook. She looks at it from all sides a few times and starts to polish it as she smiles at the piece.
Sister Luna stops to make sure the woman in pink still has her back to her...rather then risking a squeeky stair she swings herself over the railing and lands soundlessly on her feet again
Nerissa Dae frowns to herself as her eyes passes over the page, the coal blackness of her gaze just a glistening of wetness that passages over words. She hasn't stopped her singing and it gains some more passion to it as she becomes thoroughly engrossed in her reading. Her one true passion, she could become lost in the pages for hours.
Sister Luna keeping her eye on the lady in pink she softly moves to the book case, peeking around to see that the targets back is toward her
17 Nexen holds the ivory rook up again, looking at it again from all sides and polishes it a bit more before setting it down and picking up the next piece. bending down each time she switches the pieces, making her skirt shift each time. Then standing back up and brushing her skirt down with ehr free hand before starting to polish the next piece
Nalysia Bellah 20 reaches into her pocket...but sees someone coming in the west door and dips back into the shadows
Keaton Foehammer looks at the strange woman...polishing the chess pieces?
Keaton Foehammer: Make sure to clean the ivory queen twice...K likes to sneak in here and stick it in his mouth.
17 Nexen turns around slowly and smiles warmly. Bowing her head politely at the man "Welcoem Sir, and please enjoy your stay in the library Sir. Oh, and yes. this one is making sure all chess pieces are nice and clean.
Keaton Foehammer: Yeah like I said...Ivory queen, twice...bleach it even...K has herpes...don't want t' spead that.
17 Nexen blinks her large eyes and then looks back down to the chess pieces, the ivory queen in particular*
Keaton Foehammer: ...I'll be on my way...time to get drunk,.
17 Nexen picks the ivory queen up and looks at it curiously
Sister Luna holds her breath waiting ...waiting for the two to finish their conversation
17 Nexen looks at the ivory queen curiously. Herpes?... *ponders as she looks at the queen more closely*
Nerissa Dae absently hears voices but she seems not to be paying attention to it, shifting her weight from boot to boot with a yawn that stops her singing. She mutters something under her breath and pushes her glasses up as she concentrates harder on the book, shoving everything but the words on the page away from her thoughts.
Sister Luna waits a few moments after the man leaves and the lady turns back around ...peers through the books to see where her target is...then silently moves forward, the choloriformed soaked rag in her hand...slipping around the bookcase she moves as quickly as she can while remaining silent
Sister Luna coming up behind the target and wrapping an arm around her shoulder to cover her mouth with the rag, wrapping the other tightly around the targets body to keep the arms pinned..
Nerissa Dae has let her guard down completely, turning a deaf ear to her surroundings to the point that not even the crackle of the fire doesn't register.
17 Nexen blinks and ponders. she bends down and places the cloth back into the rim of her stocking. She looks left and right while holding the ivory queen
17 Nexen turns back and walsk up the spiral stairs, still holding the ivory queen in her hands
Sister Luna looks over her shoulder to make sure that the lady in pink hasn't heard anything...
17 Nexen sets the queen on the table and looks around.
17 Nexen: oooh, the hospital will know how to clean this. *giggles*
Nerissa Dae has her hands gripping the book tight as something surrounds her mouth and nose, muffling the sudden growl that rips from the small pale demon. The wash of coldness that explodes from her is numbing and she tries to suck air through the cloth but only comes out pulling in the smell of chloriform into her lungs. She small so it won't take much to make her start to feel dizzy, fingers loosening on the book slowly, as her body begins to grow limp, arm wrapped over her keeping her from crashing to the floor.
17 Nexen jumps down from the balcony. landing in front of the door with a loud metallic clunk. Then standing up slowly again and steps out of the door.
Sister Luna is at first shocked by the bitter cold coming from the targets body, but her cloak buffers some of it...when she feels the body start to go limp her eyes widden as she sees the book about to fall to the ground...lifting her foot she some how manages to catch the book on her foot before it hits the floor...letting out a soft sigh she waits long enough to make sure the target is out...then brings the rag from her mouth, and turns her to lean over one shoulder...reaching down she grabs the book from her boot, and lays it on a shelf
Sister Luna is about to move the woman but hears a loud clunk...but waits and hears the person walk out the door..."finally some luch" she whispers then pulls out her bag and pulls it over the targets head "i think its time i invest in a blindfold..."...then pauses again hearing someone walk in
Sister Luna grumbles something about the library never having this many people coming in and out and picking a better spot next time
Sister Luna lifts the unconscience woman over her shoulder, moving to the end of the shelves and look around to see if anyone else is there, not seeing anyone she heads out the door
Nerissa Dae oddly doesn't weigh much, the small leathery wings sagging at her back, tail totally still for the first time, as she's held in place. The demon was totally knocked out, each breath frosting the air now that the cloth was removed, and Neri's chest barely rose in her state of unconsciousness.
Father Twilight sighs and shakes his head, "Luna how will they take us seirously when they have that bag over their head?"
Sister Luna grumbles something about getting a damn elevator as she softly lays the woman on the floor...holding up a hand to stop anyone from speaking "I know i know, you don't liked them knocked up but not much of a choice with kidnapping a demon from a public building often visited by assholes"
Sister Luna: they don't see the bag thats over their own head
Sister Dementia turns to Father Twilight, "They do not know what is on the face of it Father, it should hardly matter now...." she looks down to Nerissa shaking her head, "What works will work in times of need Luna..."
Father Twilight grunts, "And how coherent is she this time?"
Sister Luna looks to Sister Dementia with a slight bow "thank you"
Nerissa Dae is like a rag doll then a sack of potatos as she's set down, long tail wrapped around her stocking clad leg loosely.
Sister Dementia crosses her arms more tightly looking down at her, "Perhaps the hand of a God might help her now Father..."
Father Twilight sighs and waves his hand, "Wake her...."
Sister Luna shrugs "i tried chloriform...ever done that before..."...scratches her chin trying to remember how to wake someone after using that drug..
Father Twilight grumbles, "oh dear lord...."
Sister Dementia nods and reaches into her cloak, pulling out a vial, "Smelling salts Luna." she says holding it out to her.
Sister Luna nods "ah yeah..thats it..." taking the vial and removing the cap before kneeling down and removing the bag from Neri's head...holding the vial under the demons nose
Sister Luna: "come on sleeping icicly time to wake up"
Father Twilight waits patiently for Nerissa to awaken....
Nerissa Dae is fairly quick to react to the smell under her nose, sluggish mind more animalistic for the moment that she growls out as the snowy white mane spills around the stooped shoulders. Its the demon that says something nasty under her breath, something that follows the lines of 'fuckers' before pushing herself up a bit more slowly.
Father Twilight looks down at Nerissa and then turn to Luna, "Bring her before me...." he commands before his eyes shoot back to the demoness...
Sister Dementia tilts her head looking down at her, "Hmm... fire and ice, an incredible combination..." she says moving a bit closer to Brother Liberabit.
Sister Luna keeps her gloved hand within her cloak as she reaches out and takes hold of the demons arm..moving her foward toward the big guy
Nerissa Dae jerks her eyes to one dark figure to the next, suddenly dropping any show of emotion as a defense, the coldness that radiates still numbing. She tenses up as she's pretty much dragged forward because she refused to get up at first before she finally pushes to her feet to stand on her own.
Sister Luna drops her hand from the demons arm before the cold causes her teeth to start chattering
Father Twilight eyes the demoness with a hint of respect, "Nerissa Lynn Dae....." he begins in a commanding tone, "You have been brought before this order to determine whether you are worthy to seek that which is hidden or if the ground below this window is more suited for this talents..... you shall be judged by your peers before you, you have no choice or say in this...." he then turns to the group, "Speak now or forever hold your peace, Brothers and Sisters...."
Nerissa Dae is tense but oddly silent as she draws in deep breaths through her nose to pull in fresh air, as much as one can get in this city, and clear her head. She peers straight ahead at the one that seems to be the leader, all still in her but for the tail that moves on its own accord if not somewhat violent.
Brother LIberabit simply nods, the exaggerated sway of his cloak adding an exclamation point to the gesture, "She has been observed. I vote, Aye."
Sister Dementia tilts her head holding up her hand as she watches Father Twilight, keeping silent.
Sister Luna also watches Father Twilight...waiting to see if she should cast her vote yet
Sister Dementia looks to Luna, nodding for her to continue the ceremony.
Father Twilight motions to continue
Sister Luna nods in both understanding it is alright to continue and in agreement "I believe she will make a fine sister"
Father Twilight turns to Dementia, "sister?"
Sister Dementia looks to Nerissa slowly, "While your chill will never come as a warmth to this city, if you can use you powers of persuasion as you have in your past I think you will work well with us." she turns to Father Twilight, "Aye."
Nerissa Dae 's head tilts subtly to each one that speaks. There's no doubt that she's listening, the guarded lax features still holding nothing of what goes on in that small demoness' head. But through it all, she remained looking ahead at theone infront of her.
Father Twilight looks down at the demoness and speaks, "Your short...." he says, "Luna, the mighty oak next to you, makes you look even tinier, yer glasses are big.... yer tail a tad bit out of control..... your cold... damn cold...." he murmurs and then begins to remove his hood and mask.....
Father Twilight grins as he removes the mask and looks on at Nerissa, "I could not ask for a closer or more trusted friend to be by my side..." he says and raises his right hand, "Aye, let her in...."
Sister Dementia follows suit and tugs at her own hood, letting it fall behind her as she tugs down on her scarf, pulling away her own mask and shaking out her hair.
Each thing spoken she just remains standing. Watching. Neri doesn't show much of anything until the things come off to expose the speaker and she looks like she suddenly has the desire to shove him out of the window behind him. She tenses up and then forces herself to relax once more and mutters. "Shit head...I coulda killed her.." She jerks a thumb to the one on her right.
Sister Luna chuckles as she reaches up and pulls back her hood, letting her white hair spill out and removes her mask
He grunts, Neri giving him a dirty look, "She can take care of herself, Lil Demoness...."
Felice nods gently, "It is a pleasure to have you up here as well now Nerissa." she states, pushing her hand under her cloak once more, looking a bit more calm as she pulls a needle from it.
Nerissa Dae takes a few more deep breaths and the relief in her face damn well near puts her in tears. But she is clear eyed from what one can tell and murmurs, "Thanks. to each." Words holding respect, that relief again.
The leader sighs, "Sorry for the scare, but it's really the only way we can drag ya off without causin' too much shit for us...."
Nalysia looks down to Nerissa..."you're friggin cold has hell, if i'd have known you'd be freezind i'd have worn my thermal undies"
Nerissa nods at Denny and looks up at Nalysia, just a small smile creeping to her lips. "Sorry..its what happens when I loose control of myself.."
Felice steps forward, needle in hand. "This is our darkest deepest secret Nerissa. We use secret names, hide out faces, and require insurance." she says gesturing to the needle in her hand.
Nerissa looks to Felice and eyes the needle with a small crease between her brow. "Its for the best I would think..its not like I've not done it before." She tells her and looks around the group again.
Nerissa Dae , again, looks at Felice and the object in her hand. "..What's that for?.." She asks.
Den grunts, "She wants to put the security precaution in ya...."
Felice nods gently, "Should you fall from our light, these dealings will only seem like a dream. There is a device which will release a serum in you when activated. All harmless." she assures her as she tugs off one glove, "It is for our safety." she states, "If you would hold out your arm."
Nerissa Dae makes a face that borders on comical. But not as much as the damn bag she was made to wear. She bites her lip and there's that small fear showing for some reason before she lifts her bared arm out to Felice.
Felice runs her fingers over the spot of her arm, using a brief bit of energy to sterilize before she holds the needle to her skin, "Just a pinch." she says as she pushes the needle to her, watching the skin carfully.
Nerissa Dae 's brows draw down as she watches, her skin showing a hint of sparkle like diamond dust right where Felice 'cleansed' the area, her body reacting to the use of power. Those large black eyes watching as the needle is pushed into the tone arm, skin easily giving around it.
Felice pushes the plunger of the needle down, depositing its contents into her. "We have all chosen our sister and brotherhood names." she speaks quietly as she withdraws the needle back carfully. Her thumb rubs again over the spot, as if rubbing away a stain, again using her power to seal the puncture wound. "I am known here as Sister Dementia." she states.
Nalysia says, "And I am Luna...but it has nothing to do with the fact that im Loony"
Nerissa Dae pulls away from the healing and makes a tiny sound of protest to worry about such a small thing with her. She glances over to Nalysia. " Yet to see that..yet." She tells her jokingly and then looks at the other guy she's only seen in passing before.
Rivers Magic drops his hood and says, with a slight bow, "Brother LIberabit."
Denenthorn Masukami grins as he pulls forth a new hood, cloak, and mask from the folds of his own robes and holds them before Nerissa, "I am Father Thaddeus Twilight of the Seekers....."
Felice looks up to Nerissa to her pulling away, "I am sorry Nerissa... I thought such a little thing would not bother..." she states softly, tucking the used needle back into her cloak.
Nerissa Dae turns to look to Denny and just looks at the stuff before she takes them to herself as she turns to Felice. "Its only that I heal fairly quickly..its in the blood.." She tries to give her a reassuring smile as she holds everything close to her body.
Felice nods slowly, "It will be remembered." she states and looks to her, "We have chosen our names, we only ask that you chose yours for our future meetings."
Nerissa lowers her chin some as her eyes fall to the floor with a small nod. "Alright..I'll think hard on it to be ready."
Felice nods gently and looks to Father Twilight, tugging her hood back over her head slowly, "Is there any other business at hand?" she asks as she slips her scarf and mask back into place.
Den shakes his head, "Dismissed..." he murmurs, "I am to stand here for a bit...."
Nalysia pulls her hood back up, and pleaces the mask back on her face
Nerissa Dae tries to hide her exhaustion now that all the adreniline's left her and turns to head for the stairs with her things, though as she begins to head down, oddly enough, her arms are empty of stuff..
Felice bows gently to 17, "How are you 17, it seems like so long since I have seen you here... not got caught in any closets have we?"
17 Nexen: No closets no Miss. this one ran out of power while on an errand and it took some time before someone came to this one's aid Miss. But she is fully functional again now and back to her duties *she nods her head politely*
Felice shakes her head slowly, "I hope you will take better care of yourself in the future 17, perhaps we might arrange something with the Continuum to keep you running more smoothely."
17 Nexen: This one was helped by them once before. they are very skilled. it would be a good idea Miss. They designed an additional suit in case this one were to end up on hostile situations.
Felice tilts her head curiously, "IS that so, what does this suit entail? I will have to ask them to write up a bill for Denny...." she says rubbing her chin slowly.

17 Nexen: After which this one travelled to the south district to look for any problems that might occur there.
17 Nexen: Oh, greetings Miss *she bows deeply as she folds her hands in front of her skirt. nodding deeply towards Nerissa*
Felice asks, "Did you enjoy your time with Denny?" nods gently as she sees Nerissa, "Ah Nerissa, I do not think you have met 17, she is our librarian on duty most often when she is here and tidies when others are on errands."
17 Nexen: He is very kind and interesting, yes Miss Felicia. it was very interesting to see him pray. Though.. 17 is slightly concerned as he seemed to be very distracted while he travelled to the southern area Miss.
Nerissa holds against herself a folder containing some paperwork, looking tired and withdrawn, and not wanting to interrupt. She looks up over to the pink clad female with a shake of her head. "No. Its the first time. Hallo, 17.." She looks to Felice apologetically. "Just wanted to give ya this.." SHe holds it out to her
17 Nexen looks at Nerissa and closes her large eyes and smiles warmly
Felice takes up her stack of papers and nods, "This is very fruitful of you Nerissa, thank you." she holds them to her chest a bit protectively looking down at them. "17 this is Nerissa, a fairly recent addition to the library."
17 Nexen: it is always a pleasure to welcome and meet any members of the library. Welcome Miss Nerissa. 17 would be very honored to help you with anything you might require here Miss Nerissa *nods her head politely with closed eyes and a kind smile*
Neri smiles. "Actually, I've been around these parts for a very long time..I've known Denethorn a long time too."
Felice looks over Nerissa's shoulder seeing Ada, "Hello Ada, lovely to see you here, how are you?"
Ada smiles and waves hello to felice"Hello Felice"moving in closer...
Nerissa Dae shifts on the steps to look back behind her.
17 Nexen bows deeply to Ada and smiles warmly "welcome to the library Miss. Please enjoy your stay"
Ada nods to her "Thank you"
Nerissa tries not to look so frightful and licks at the dried blood on her skin while she chews at her lips. "I'll go ...sort books.." She makes an excuse to give them privacy. Most likely she'll just be buried nose deep in one when she finds something.
Felice eye glint gently looking down to Ada once more, "Any change in your life that might be ground breaking?" she says clasping her hands tightly and holding her breath.
Felice watches Nerissa and nods gently, "That suits me well..."
Ada steps closer...
Ada, shifting her eyes back to Felice, tells her, "Oh i just wanted to give you the information i said i would bring back"...reaches into her pocket pulling out a peice of paper handing it to Felice.."sorry it took some time to get it back to you"
Felice shakes her head and accepts the paper looking at it approvingly, "Certainly not... I asked you to take your time and you have if you feel it is sufficiently filled out..." she states witha gentle nod. "Denny and I will review it very soon and see where we might place you." she says gently.
17 Nexen looks between the two ladies and smiles. Folding her hands together then looking to Felicia "should this one continue her duties and give you two some privacy Miss Felicia?
Felice bows gently, "Felice 17, just Felice.... and you may either attend to your duties or travel about if you like. It sounded as though you were enjoying your experiences outside."
Ada nods "I did give him a copy of it...but i gave it to you as well..I did say i would hand it in to you "
Nerissa Dae can be heard singing from somewhere in the rows of books, a sweet innocent tone from the small demon. Its an old tone and holds a folkish sound to it though the lyrics seem distorted or in some odd language.
Felice bows deeply, "And for simply the pleasure of your company, even for a few moments, is my own reward." she says softly. "How ever I do have an appointment that I should keep."
17 Nexen bows her head slowly "as you wish M.. Felicia."pauses a moment and then looks towards nerissa with a smile on her lips. Then moves to the chess set
17 Nexen reaches down and takes a small cloth from the rim of her stocking. Then takes a black bishop and starts to polish the chesspiece
Ada smiles softly to her"Well i will take my leave ..thank you again for your time Felice..it was good to see you again"
Felice nods gently to her, "It is a pleasure to see you are well still in health Ada."
17 Nexen polishes the black bisshop untill it's nice and shiny. she bends over and places the bisschop back in it's place and takes up the queen.
Ada Habana nods and smiles onces more befor she turns and walks out ...
Felice Nightfire glances over her should and turns, "I will be at the hospital if I am needed." she states before moving to the door.
17 Nexen: yes Felicia. Are you alright? *tilts her head*
Felice nods gently, "I am quite well... I just have some business there to attend to. I must restock our supplies before they are all taken. Supplies have been cut short recently, coming in from the mainland."
17 Nexen smiles and nods "Please be well Felicia, and have a lovely day."
Ner pulls another book down after replacing the one she had beforehand, still singing to herself quietly, while she sways side to side lazily, tail sweeping counter her movement.
Felice bows gently to her, "You as well 17, take care Nerissa." she calls over to her, seeming content as she sees Nerissa and 17 seeming so pleasent.
17 Nexen goes back to polishing the chess set. She picks up piece after piece and polishes them all untill they all look nice and shiny
Sister Luna lands silently on the balcony and without a sound makes her way to the railing to look down
17 Nexen rubs her cloth over the black pieces. Polishing them one by one as she hums a soft playful tune.
Sister Luna seeing the woman in pink..but not the target she leans over so she is almost hanging upside down, and finally spots her target in a row of book cases...pulls herself up and silently makes her way to the stairs and starts down
Nerissa Dae seems to of found something to finally focus on while she thinks, the song she speaks growing softer and without though itself as she slowly turns page after page.
17 Nexen sets the piece back down and takes up an ivory white rook. She looks at it from all sides a few times and starts to polish it as she smiles at the piece.
Sister Luna stops to make sure the woman in pink still has her back to her...rather then risking a squeeky stair she swings herself over the railing and lands soundlessly on her feet again
Nerissa Dae frowns to herself as her eyes passes over the page, the coal blackness of her gaze just a glistening of wetness that passages over words. She hasn't stopped her singing and it gains some more passion to it as she becomes thoroughly engrossed in her reading. Her one true passion, she could become lost in the pages for hours.
Sister Luna keeping her eye on the lady in pink she softly moves to the book case, peeking around to see that the targets back is toward her
17 Nexen holds the ivory rook up again, looking at it again from all sides and polishes it a bit more before setting it down and picking up the next piece. bending down each time she switches the pieces, making her skirt shift each time. Then standing back up and brushing her skirt down with ehr free hand before starting to polish the next piece
Nalysia Bellah 20 reaches into her pocket...but sees someone coming in the west door and dips back into the shadows
Keaton Foehammer looks at the strange woman...polishing the chess pieces?
Keaton Foehammer: Make sure to clean the ivory queen twice...K likes to sneak in here and stick it in his mouth.
17 Nexen turns around slowly and smiles warmly. Bowing her head politely at the man "Welcoem Sir, and please enjoy your stay in the library Sir. Oh, and yes. this one is making sure all chess pieces are nice and clean.
Keaton Foehammer: Yeah like I said...Ivory queen, twice...bleach it even...K has herpes...don't want t' spead that.
17 Nexen blinks her large eyes and then looks back down to the chess pieces, the ivory queen in particular*
Keaton Foehammer: ...I'll be on my way...time to get drunk,.
17 Nexen picks the ivory queen up and looks at it curiously
Sister Luna holds her breath waiting ...waiting for the two to finish their conversation
17 Nexen looks at the ivory queen curiously. Herpes?... *ponders as she looks at the queen more closely*
Nerissa Dae absently hears voices but she seems not to be paying attention to it, shifting her weight from boot to boot with a yawn that stops her singing. She mutters something under her breath and pushes her glasses up as she concentrates harder on the book, shoving everything but the words on the page away from her thoughts.
Sister Luna waits a few moments after the man leaves and the lady turns back around ...peers through the books to see where her target is...then silently moves forward, the choloriformed soaked rag in her hand...slipping around the bookcase she moves as quickly as she can while remaining silent
Sister Luna coming up behind the target and wrapping an arm around her shoulder to cover her mouth with the rag, wrapping the other tightly around the targets body to keep the arms pinned..
Nerissa Dae has let her guard down completely, turning a deaf ear to her surroundings to the point that not even the crackle of the fire doesn't register.
17 Nexen blinks and ponders. she bends down and places the cloth back into the rim of her stocking. She looks left and right while holding the ivory queen
17 Nexen turns back and walsk up the spiral stairs, still holding the ivory queen in her hands
Sister Luna looks over her shoulder to make sure that the lady in pink hasn't heard anything...
17 Nexen sets the queen on the table and looks around.
17 Nexen: oooh, the hospital will know how to clean this. *giggles*
Nerissa Dae has her hands gripping the book tight as something surrounds her mouth and nose, muffling the sudden growl that rips from the small pale demon. The wash of coldness that explodes from her is numbing and she tries to suck air through the cloth but only comes out pulling in the smell of chloriform into her lungs. She small so it won't take much to make her start to feel dizzy, fingers loosening on the book slowly, as her body begins to grow limp, arm wrapped over her keeping her from crashing to the floor.
17 Nexen jumps down from the balcony. landing in front of the door with a loud metallic clunk. Then standing up slowly again and steps out of the door.
Sister Luna is at first shocked by the bitter cold coming from the targets body, but her cloak buffers some of it...when she feels the body start to go limp her eyes widden as she sees the book about to fall to the ground...lifting her foot she some how manages to catch the book on her foot before it hits the floor...letting out a soft sigh she waits long enough to make sure the target is out...then brings the rag from her mouth, and turns her to lean over one shoulder...reaching down she grabs the book from her boot, and lays it on a shelf
Sister Luna is about to move the woman but hears a loud clunk...but waits and hears the person walk out the door..."finally some luch" she whispers then pulls out her bag and pulls it over the targets head "i think its time i invest in a blindfold..."...then pauses again hearing someone walk in
Sister Luna grumbles something about the library never having this many people coming in and out and picking a better spot next time
Sister Luna lifts the unconscience woman over her shoulder, moving to the end of the shelves and look around to see if anyone else is there, not seeing anyone she heads out the door
Nerissa Dae oddly doesn't weigh much, the small leathery wings sagging at her back, tail totally still for the first time, as she's held in place. The demon was totally knocked out, each breath frosting the air now that the cloth was removed, and Neri's chest barely rose in her state of unconsciousness.
Father Twilight sighs and shakes his head, "Luna how will they take us seirously when they have that bag over their head?"
Sister Luna grumbles something about getting a damn elevator as she softly lays the woman on the floor...holding up a hand to stop anyone from speaking "I know i know, you don't liked them knocked up but not much of a choice with kidnapping a demon from a public building often visited by assholes"
Sister Luna: they don't see the bag thats over their own head
Sister Dementia turns to Father Twilight, "They do not know what is on the face of it Father, it should hardly matter now...." she looks down to Nerissa shaking her head, "What works will work in times of need Luna..."
Father Twilight grunts, "And how coherent is she this time?"
Sister Luna looks to Sister Dementia with a slight bow "thank you"
Nerissa Dae is like a rag doll then a sack of potatos as she's set down, long tail wrapped around her stocking clad leg loosely.
Sister Dementia crosses her arms more tightly looking down at her, "Perhaps the hand of a God might help her now Father..."
Father Twilight sighs and waves his hand, "Wake her...."
Sister Luna shrugs "i tried chloriform...ever done that before..."...scratches her chin trying to remember how to wake someone after using that drug..
Father Twilight grumbles, "oh dear lord...."
Sister Dementia nods and reaches into her cloak, pulling out a vial, "Smelling salts Luna." she says holding it out to her.
Sister Luna nods "ah yeah..thats it..." taking the vial and removing the cap before kneeling down and removing the bag from Neri's head...holding the vial under the demons nose
Sister Luna: "come on sleeping icicly time to wake up"
Father Twilight waits patiently for Nerissa to awaken....
Nerissa Dae is fairly quick to react to the smell under her nose, sluggish mind more animalistic for the moment that she growls out as the snowy white mane spills around the stooped shoulders. Its the demon that says something nasty under her breath, something that follows the lines of 'fuckers' before pushing herself up a bit more slowly.
Father Twilight looks down at Nerissa and then turn to Luna, "Bring her before me...." he commands before his eyes shoot back to the demoness...
Sister Dementia tilts her head looking down at her, "Hmm... fire and ice, an incredible combination..." she says moving a bit closer to Brother Liberabit.
Sister Luna keeps her gloved hand within her cloak as she reaches out and takes hold of the demons arm..moving her foward toward the big guy
Nerissa Dae jerks her eyes to one dark figure to the next, suddenly dropping any show of emotion as a defense, the coldness that radiates still numbing. She tenses up as she's pretty much dragged forward because she refused to get up at first before she finally pushes to her feet to stand on her own.
Sister Luna drops her hand from the demons arm before the cold causes her teeth to start chattering
Father Twilight eyes the demoness with a hint of respect, "Nerissa Lynn Dae....." he begins in a commanding tone, "You have been brought before this order to determine whether you are worthy to seek that which is hidden or if the ground below this window is more suited for this talents..... you shall be judged by your peers before you, you have no choice or say in this...." he then turns to the group, "Speak now or forever hold your peace, Brothers and Sisters...."
Nerissa Dae is tense but oddly silent as she draws in deep breaths through her nose to pull in fresh air, as much as one can get in this city, and clear her head. She peers straight ahead at the one that seems to be the leader, all still in her but for the tail that moves on its own accord if not somewhat violent.
Brother LIberabit simply nods, the exaggerated sway of his cloak adding an exclamation point to the gesture, "She has been observed. I vote, Aye."
Sister Dementia tilts her head holding up her hand as she watches Father Twilight, keeping silent.
Sister Luna also watches Father Twilight...waiting to see if she should cast her vote yet
Sister Dementia looks to Luna, nodding for her to continue the ceremony.
Father Twilight motions to continue
Sister Luna nods in both understanding it is alright to continue and in agreement "I believe she will make a fine sister"
Father Twilight turns to Dementia, "sister?"
Sister Dementia looks to Nerissa slowly, "While your chill will never come as a warmth to this city, if you can use you powers of persuasion as you have in your past I think you will work well with us." she turns to Father Twilight, "Aye."
Nerissa Dae 's head tilts subtly to each one that speaks. There's no doubt that she's listening, the guarded lax features still holding nothing of what goes on in that small demoness' head. But through it all, she remained looking ahead at theone infront of her.
Father Twilight looks down at the demoness and speaks, "Your short...." he says, "Luna, the mighty oak next to you, makes you look even tinier, yer glasses are big.... yer tail a tad bit out of control..... your cold... damn cold...." he murmurs and then begins to remove his hood and mask.....
Father Twilight grins as he removes the mask and looks on at Nerissa, "I could not ask for a closer or more trusted friend to be by my side..." he says and raises his right hand, "Aye, let her in...."
Sister Dementia follows suit and tugs at her own hood, letting it fall behind her as she tugs down on her scarf, pulling away her own mask and shaking out her hair.
Each thing spoken she just remains standing. Watching. Neri doesn't show much of anything until the things come off to expose the speaker and she looks like she suddenly has the desire to shove him out of the window behind him. She tenses up and then forces herself to relax once more and mutters. "Shit head...I coulda killed her.." She jerks a thumb to the one on her right.
Sister Luna chuckles as she reaches up and pulls back her hood, letting her white hair spill out and removes her mask
He grunts, Neri giving him a dirty look, "She can take care of herself, Lil Demoness...."
Felice nods gently, "It is a pleasure to have you up here as well now Nerissa." she states, pushing her hand under her cloak once more, looking a bit more calm as she pulls a needle from it.
Nerissa Dae takes a few more deep breaths and the relief in her face damn well near puts her in tears. But she is clear eyed from what one can tell and murmurs, "Thanks. to each." Words holding respect, that relief again.
The leader sighs, "Sorry for the scare, but it's really the only way we can drag ya off without causin' too much shit for us...."
Nalysia looks down to Nerissa..."you're friggin cold has hell, if i'd have known you'd be freezind i'd have worn my thermal undies"
Nerissa nods at Denny and looks up at Nalysia, just a small smile creeping to her lips. "Sorry..its what happens when I loose control of myself.."
Felice steps forward, needle in hand. "This is our darkest deepest secret Nerissa. We use secret names, hide out faces, and require insurance." she says gesturing to the needle in her hand.
Nerissa looks to Felice and eyes the needle with a small crease between her brow. "Its for the best I would think..its not like I've not done it before." She tells her and looks around the group again.
Nerissa Dae , again, looks at Felice and the object in her hand. "..What's that for?.." She asks.
Den grunts, "She wants to put the security precaution in ya...."
Felice nods gently, "Should you fall from our light, these dealings will only seem like a dream. There is a device which will release a serum in you when activated. All harmless." she assures her as she tugs off one glove, "It is for our safety." she states, "If you would hold out your arm."
Nerissa Dae makes a face that borders on comical. But not as much as the damn bag she was made to wear. She bites her lip and there's that small fear showing for some reason before she lifts her bared arm out to Felice.
Felice runs her fingers over the spot of her arm, using a brief bit of energy to sterilize before she holds the needle to her skin, "Just a pinch." she says as she pushes the needle to her, watching the skin carfully.
Nerissa Dae 's brows draw down as she watches, her skin showing a hint of sparkle like diamond dust right where Felice 'cleansed' the area, her body reacting to the use of power. Those large black eyes watching as the needle is pushed into the tone arm, skin easily giving around it.
Felice pushes the plunger of the needle down, depositing its contents into her. "We have all chosen our sister and brotherhood names." she speaks quietly as she withdraws the needle back carfully. Her thumb rubs again over the spot, as if rubbing away a stain, again using her power to seal the puncture wound. "I am known here as Sister Dementia." she states.
Nalysia says, "And I am Luna...but it has nothing to do with the fact that im Loony"
Nerissa Dae pulls away from the healing and makes a tiny sound of protest to worry about such a small thing with her. She glances over to Nalysia. " Yet to see that..yet." She tells her jokingly and then looks at the other guy she's only seen in passing before.
Rivers Magic drops his hood and says, with a slight bow, "Brother LIberabit."
Denenthorn Masukami grins as he pulls forth a new hood, cloak, and mask from the folds of his own robes and holds them before Nerissa, "I am Father Thaddeus Twilight of the Seekers....."
Felice looks up to Nerissa to her pulling away, "I am sorry Nerissa... I thought such a little thing would not bother..." she states softly, tucking the used needle back into her cloak.
Nerissa Dae turns to look to Denny and just looks at the stuff before she takes them to herself as she turns to Felice. "Its only that I heal fairly quickly..its in the blood.." She tries to give her a reassuring smile as she holds everything close to her body.
Felice nods slowly, "It will be remembered." she states and looks to her, "We have chosen our names, we only ask that you chose yours for our future meetings."
Nerissa lowers her chin some as her eyes fall to the floor with a small nod. "Alright..I'll think hard on it to be ready."
Felice nods gently and looks to Father Twilight, tugging her hood back over her head slowly, "Is there any other business at hand?" she asks as she slips her scarf and mask back into place.
Den shakes his head, "Dismissed..." he murmurs, "I am to stand here for a bit...."
Nalysia pulls her hood back up, and pleaces the mask back on her face
Nerissa Dae tries to hide her exhaustion now that all the adreniline's left her and turns to head for the stairs with her things, though as she begins to head down, oddly enough, her arms are empty of stuff..

Idling Thoughts
She fingered a new hole in her favorite shirt and makes a face, Neri's mood falling a little more each time she finds herself confronted. Shot at. Snarled at. Picked on...Has things changed all that much then her time inside Toxian City? The demon is pulled from her idle thoughts by a question and jerks her head around to look at her father. The instant blossoming of a smile rises to her soft, pale lips and she sets a hand over her fluttering belly. Even after so long, she is still amazed how much he can affect her. They've not had too much time together, what with the babies' care, returning to her studies, and avoiding so many people it seems anymore... "Are you listening to me?" He asks a second time and it has her sitting up further in her chair without warning. "Yes, father. Sorry. Seems I'm suffering ADD today." He lets out a laugh and rests his hand on her brilliant white head to play through the shorn length, teasing through it to massage her scalp. It nearly puts Nerissa into a drooling state. Smiling, she looks up at him again, " It seems the kinda backed off or something. I haven't noticed anything lately or heard for that matter..Crab Infested Dea tried to take more souls like she's this bottomless pit."
His response was a laugh again and bends down to scoop her up out of the chair so he can take the place, sinking into the now cold recesses of its comfort with her in his arms still. " Any more news?" She asks cryptically, listening to her older brother move around in the room behind her, the animalistic grunts and insane snickering having her craning her neck to check Law out.
"Not yet, my dark rose..." Neri turns her attention back to him, hands resting on his arms begins to move, to massage the corded ropes from centuries of war. She nods absently until her brow creases with a furrow. "Have you been practicing the runs with your cousin?" Vulcan asks her, giving her petite frame a loving embrace tighter against his chest. The smile wins again and she snuggles into the heat of his torso with a sigh. "Yeah. Every chance I get. I'm still workin' on ways to prolong my Kiss on the dead. The older ones just ain't doin' what I want again. Least when they gotta brain, they think on their own a little better but the skeletons just don't do what I want them to do." Her father smiles, as if amused, and reaches up to brush his callused finger tips along the contours of her jawline until stopping up under her chin until her head tilts back to deliver a softly plucked kiss from her lips.
Law stops moving instantly and she knows he's looking at them. She remembers his sudden tantrum during the baby's delivery and tries not to let it bother her, to savor the way it feels when she's kissed. His jealousy of her keeps her on her toes. How he thinks she monopolizes all his time. Never once had they run him off. Always to try and encourage him to join them in sparring or planning for situations..but she is left wondering if its pride or something more that keeps him from approaching.
After the kiss passes, Vulcan sits back and holds her against his chest, the sound of his burning heart thumping under her pressed ear muffled by the rich tones of his voice speaking further on things going on and what they must do to prepare. For hours this went on before finally he spoke the desire of going out and window shopping. And the thought of going out lit her up and she was on her feet and ready in no time to join him.
His response was a laugh again and bends down to scoop her up out of the chair so he can take the place, sinking into the now cold recesses of its comfort with her in his arms still.

The Big Day
Vulcan Dagger: jessa..we're going to need you to do this
Nerissa Dae tries to get comfy as she lies back, glancing at Vulcan and then Jessa.
Jessa Alba: Have you been having contractions ?
Vulcan Dagger: We need to induce labor
Nerissa Dae: ..No...I need you get either a drug called Oxytocin or a PIP drip...Petocin IV.
Jessa Alba: That I can do . Let me get the necessary means. And for just in case purposes are you wanting to do a c-section or do you want to do this naturally ?
Nerissa Dae looks down at her body and bites her lip. "Not sure me using my own magick to force it would be safe to do..." She looks quickly. "Don't think we'll have trouble, I hope. So naturally.."
Jessa Alba: Very well then .
Nerissa Dae chews on the inside of her cheek as she sets her hands on her stomach, rubbing around it.
Jessa Alba rubs her arm with and alcohols swab and injects the needle into the top of her wrist , This should calm you a bit as well, just your nerves , nothing else.
Jessa Alba: This is going to cause you to dialate , once we get to about 7 centimeters we will be able to begin the process, if the inducing drugs take affect properly .
Nerissa Dae nods a she tries not to tense up as she watches the needle being shoved into her skin and strapped down with tape. She looks up at Vulcan again as she draws her legs up, knees folding.
Vulcan Dagger reaches down, gently taking her hand
Jessa Alba: Just relax , this takes a bit to get through the body .
Jessa Alba: Have you thought about a name yet ?
Nerissa Dae clutches his hand, showing how scared she is, but she rests her head back and touches her stomach with the other. "Yeah..already gotta name.."
Nerissa Dae shivers a little as she feels the drug hitting her system, glancing up at the drip, as she waits for it to start taking effect.
Jessa Alba smiles at her " Thats wonderful . " :: she checks her pulse and looks over at the heart rate monitor (( pretend there is one )) " Normal " "IM going to place this over your stomach , its going to feel a bit warm , but it will let us monitor your contractions. Its just a blanket really . "
Jessa Alba: " I know its a bit heavy , but once you are dialated, IM going to want you to push on a contraction , and breathe inbetween , you can listen to me , or you can watch the monitor , whatever you are more comfortable with .
Jessa Alba: The drug usually only takes about a half an hour to work , are you going to want an epidural , or full on natural birth ?
Nerissa Dae nods as she watches Jessa, fingers gently squeezing Vulcan's as if needing the reassurance of him there. "No more drugs then I have to..unless my own power flakes out and flairs up, then we'll be fine.."
Vulcan Dagger strokes his palm across her forehead as he leans over the bed, holding her hand
Jessa Alba smiles as she goes to wash her hands " Let me know when your contrations start getting closer , and IM going to check to see if we have any dialation yet . "
Vulcan Dagger: It will be alright..
Vulcan Dagger leans closer and presses his lips to her brow
Nerissa Dae runs her tongue against her lip as she looks up at him again with a small furrow between her brows. The warmth of his lips makes her body relax though her fingers clench around his hand.
Jessa Alba pullls the covers up from her feet to her knees , as if tented in front of her " Ok , sorry if my hands are cold , I just washed them .. :: slips on a pair of plastic gloves :: IM going to check your cervix for dialation, shouldnt be too uncomfortable. "
Nerissa Dae 's jaw clenches a little suddenly and she clutches his fingers. She nods and tries not to think about what needs to be done, a small hint of pain showing in her eyes.
Nerissa Dae: Like I would even notice cold hands, Jessa. I'm always cold..well..89% of my body is..
Nerissa Dae utters a small nervous giggle.
Jessa Alba looks at the paper feeding out of the machine " Your contractions are small , perhaps just a back ache at the moment but you are at about four centimeters dialated , shoudlnt be too much longer , :: she giggles :: Well I wanted to warn ya , cold hands make me jump like crazy . "
Nerissa Dae glances over at Jessa and gives a small smile, small muscle tremors taking ahold of her. "My water's not even broken yet...maybe I should do that myself?"
Nerissa Dae: It might make it go faster...
Vulcan Dagger listens silently
Jessa Alba: " So what name did you choose:: she smiles :: " I was trying to figure this out the other day , if you have this baby , im going to be a great aunt . Thats gonna make me sound old now. (( and doh , water breaking ... gah see , I just woke up . ))
Nerissa Dae squeezes Vulcan's hand as she feels the discomfort of the labors hitting her. "..Rowan.." she murmurs as she looks up at him.
Vulcan Dagger closes his eyes for a moment as he holds Nerissa's hand, feeling her squeeze
Jessa Alba: " I have this thing with names ... I have to read them backwards , I dont know what it is , but this childs name ... backwards.... spells out Nuuuuu! war . " Thats pretty honorable " ok now relax this shouldnt hurt at all , im going to break your water, so we can get this started. "
Nerissa Dae looks over at Jessa and blushes. "Better grab more towels before ya do." She tries so hard to make light of the situation, not just for herself.
Nerissa Dae closes her eyes as her face shifts a little with the odd feelings running through her abdomen. "I should be use to pain..I go through a lot to prove I'm not as frail ...as I look.."
Jessa Alba reaches over the the bed behind her and grabs an extra sheet and lays it at the end of the bed , grabs neri softy by her ankles " Im going to need you to slide towards me a bit honey , placing your body at the far end of the bed as you would at the gynochologist, give me just a bit of haning off room and place your feet in the stirrups , there sould be Nuuuuu! mess , tehre is a catching bag comign off of the back of the bed made just for these purposes , yay for evolvment . Im going to break your water , and you will feel a slight pinch , but please dont worry about the mess or be embarrassed , it will only run off the end of the bed and into the bag to be properly disposed of after we are through , things are run very sterile these days . "
Nerissa Dae bites her lip and gives a small nod. She grasps the railing one handed and scoots her body down towards the foot of the bed, making a small sound under her breath as a slightly more noticable pain shoots through her. She takes a breath and lets it out as she gets herself within reach of Jessa, slipping her feet into the stirrups where her small toes curls over the tops.
Jessa Alba puts little booties on her feet " This is so your feet dont get cold , after all its the little things that matter " :: she sits down on the chair and slides neri just a bit closer to her :: " Ok just relax, this will only take a
second , and then your contracitons should soon follow. :: she places a tool to spread open her cervix and turns the dial on it so she has enough open room to slide in the instrument " Sorry I knwo this thing is uncomfortable" :: she penetrates the cervix with a needle and the ambiotic fluid starts to flow out slowly :: " This is wehre you need to be ready my dear, the contractions will be coming shortly , and you will need to breathe inbetween , and push when you are having them . Try not to push until you are totally dialated , I will let you know when we are ready to begin , just focus on your breathing . "
Jessa Alba: " Are you ok , do you need anything , any pain ... "
Vulcan Dagger looks down at Neri as he massages her hand, stroking his palm over her forehead
Jessa Alba goes to wash her hands again , s he takes off the gloves and disposes them it the trash , and places the needle in the hazard box above the sink .
Nerissa Dae slowly breaths as she grips the stirrups by her toes, knees bent so she's down as far as she can go. She closes her eyes again as she lies there and tries not to fret, a small shimmer of runes beginning to glow every so often from her nervousness over her pale limbs, a small sound made as she feels something inside her scraping then a wash of hot moisture trickling before it suddenly gushes out of her uterus into the bag at the end of the bed. She shakes her head quickly, "I'm alright." she tells her, eyes remaining closed tightly.
Jessa Alba grabs a cup of ice chips and a plastic spoon and hands it to vulcan " She cant have anything to drink but she can suck on this if she needs to wet her lips "
Vulcan Dagger dangles the ice over Neri's lips as he whisper's jokingly " You hear that Neri...she said you can suck on this.."
Jessa Alba looks at the machines again and grabs her wrist , while looking at her watch and lets the two talk for a bit before she checks on her dialation again
Disturbed Petion can hear vulcans voice and laughs...
Jessa Alba: " your pulse seems fine dear , as does the babies. "
Nerissa Dae looks up at Vulcan and gives him a soft smile, the ice melting under his finger tips onto her lips as they show signs of drying out from her breathing.
Vulcan Dagger slips the ice into her mouth
Jessa Alba: " Feeling anything yet dear , about now you should be feeling slightly tense during contractions .. they will be slight , but they will wake your ass up . "
Nerissa Dae gives a small grimace as if the pain of the contractions have gotten a little more noticable. She gives a small 'mhmm!' in response, a little high pitched.
Jessa Alba laughs " Heh , and this is just the beginning " : she sits back down to check her dialation again : " once again I know this is uncomfortable but it only takes a second. "
Nerissa Dae nods as she holds her breath and waits for Jessa, fingers clenching and relaxing again. "Its alright.."
Jessa Alba: " Is this your first child ? You seem to be moving along rather quickly , we are at about 6 cm now , this just may go smoother than I thought.. very rapid though .. almost odd , but this could be a good thing , I mean who wants to be here for 20 hours and end up giving a dry birth eh .. "
Jessa Alba: " You look nervous brother , don't worry , I will take good care of her . "
Nerissa Dae looks down at Jessa and nods as she takes slow breaths in and out. " What do ya expect? Not exactly normal myself.." She tells her and gives a small laugh before she tenses up as if she was hit with a very painful contraction out of the blue. She clamps down her jaws and tries to ride it out in silence, glancing at him with a furrowed brow.
Jessa Alba: " Yes, I didnt expect for this to be a normal birth at all , but your progression is almost shocking" : reaches between neri's legs and and checks her again , not much of a change this time but we are at eight :: her eyes narrow at the opening in her cervix as she pulls her hand away astounded .
Jessa Alba goes back to the machine again and check on the paper flowing out showing the timing between contractions " It seems we are at about 5 mins apart would you say ? "
Jessa Alba checks the IV , and switches it out replacing the drugs with saline as labor has begun .
Jessa Alba wipes her forehead with a cool cloth
Nerissa Dae opens her mouth and a small bubble of white comes up before she clamps her mouth shut around the raw arcanum trying to slip free. She had let control slip for a brief moment and only when the shimmering of the sigils on her stop shifting with ghostly pale shimmering does she speak. " Don't jinx me.." She tries to chide her with a small laugh that sounds strained.
Jessa Alba goes back to her chair , " Well according to this , you are ready to go , let me check you again ... " are you ready for this "
Nerissa Dae is panting quickly now and snorts. "What if I said no?" She trembles and clenches Vulcan's hand as the contractions begin to come closer together, making her muscles tense up along her thighs. The discomfort of the baby dropping down, a pressure in her pelvis makes her face scrunch up in pain.
Jessa Alba pulls the sheet back again and tries not to show a shocked look on her face as she see's that she is already at ten centimeters, " Well honey , your body is ready when you are ." : she says calmly : " Just remember, to push WITH the contractions and breathe inbetween , once I see the head crowning , I will let you know and we will do a few big pushes to get the shoulders out and then the baby , should just slide right out. I am ready to begin when you are my dear :: she places a soft blanket in her lap preparing to catch the baby when it comes , she makes sure she has everything ready , she gets up to go get a new set of gloves and then checks the machine one more time .
Nerissa Dae nods a little quickly, moisture collecting at the corners of her eyes to spill like diamond drops as they freeze and fall away from her skin. Her body will clench up with each new ripple of pain shooting down her pelvis, the strain of the birthing showing as she lies there on the bed. She turns her head, watching Jessa moving around, as if she needs the distraction from the incredible pain she might be experiencing. "Its...fine.." She says between heavy breathings.
Jessa Alba starts to talk to her just to get her to relax " Theres a full moon coming up , and I had a tarot reading yesterday , it was so spot on , I'll have to tell you about it later . It was eerie even . :: checks to see if the babies head is crowning :: "this one seems pretty comfortable in there , you must have given a good home " she giggles softly
Jessa Alba laughs " Just how you always imagined it eh, giving birth , gunfire in the background ... " shrugs
Nerissa Dae closes her eyes tightly as another contraction hits her and utters an inhuman growl without warning. Her fingers clenches down on Vulcan's against and utters, " I use to d..do that...readin's of the cards." She whimpers in pain sharply and the hand holding the iv drip clutches at the blanket over her thighs.
Jessa Alba: " you did? I would love to get a reading from you somtimes to see if its par to the one I got . "
Jessa Alba glances at vulcan a second " I told him about mine, it kinda patterned a few things he said , it was a bit odd. " Something about the number three was brought up alot and he had said that just the ohter day . Kinda freaked me out a bit . "
Nerissa Dae tries to laugh, saying, "There's...so many alternate paths..Did ya know...it..its not good to..do yer own..readings?" She grits her teeth as another growl slips free as the pain in her pelvis turns stronger with the baby baring down in the canal. "...Triple..Goddess...Holy Tri..trinity..Three is..a powerful.Number.."
Jessa Alba: " yes , yes , they had both said that . It was very odd. "
Nerissa Dae: ".I..think there are thre.e..equinoxes..and th..three solistices ..to a lunar ..calendar..."
Jessa Alba: " I dont know much about it , but im sure gonna pay attention to it . "
Nerissa Dae bares her teeth and utters a small cry, sitting up almost, without warning. She draws a breath, trying to calm herself as the monitor glitches with a savage spike on the paper. "..Rowan...the tree...they use to .." She pants heavily. "..use to plant it near gates..and doors..to ward off evil...The..the druids called it..The Whispering Tree.."
Jessa Alba: I still think its cool that you are bringing someone into our family with the name Rowan .... to me it really does say n o war .... I love things like that , to mix up the letters adn see what they say .
Nerissa Dae listens to the sounds of gunfire outside the hospital and the monitors give several beeps and odd sounds as the pain intensifies, as if she's affecting them. She looks down at Jessa again, trying to control her fear.
Strike Kumsung raises a brow.
Jessa Alba glances over at the lycan " Yes ? "
Strike Kumsung shrugs as he takes his cloak off. "heard something important was happening...thought i'd take a look.."
Jessa Alba smiles " We have a new life upon us soon ."
Nerissa Dae grips the bed railing as she pants through her contractions. She glances over, white curls clinging to her damp skin. "N..no..nothing..import..ant.." She tries to say.
Strike Kumsung closes his eyes as the black skin flows off of him, beads of water pouring off of him as the ice melts. "oh god V's hellspawn is coming into the world" he says snickering.
Nerissa Dae flips Strike off, since she's using the pillows behind her and can't launch them at him.
Strike Kumsung looks at nerrissa smiling. "here i'll do it for you" he says as he holds his hand out, a spike of ice flowing suddenly as he then turns ramming it into his stomach. "happy?"
Nerissa Dae 's eyes flare white blue as the pain hits her every few seconds, shaking her head while she grips the railing tighter. "..No..." she blurts out and growls loud as the pain hits again.
Strike Kumsung sighs walking over to her as he takes her hand. "squeeze alright?"
Nerissa Dae flinches at his touch, her skin colder and now clammy from labor. His doom when he grips her free hand, the taloned tips curling into his flesh as she unconsciously clenches it when a contraction hits her.
Strike Kumsung grimaces slightly as he looks at her. "jessa...do me a favor......get some ice..."
Lawrence Brun laughs in a deep voice "I am born of the king of the fire himself!"
Nerissa Dae grits her teeth again in pain, a vicious growl coming from the young demon. She grips hands, because V's still there. NODS. Sigils on her body pulsing intensely as she loses some control over herself.
Nerissa Dae looks to her right at him, seeing the tips of her talons in his skin, and quickly lets go of his hand while she tries to get through the pain.
Strike Kumsung looks at her as he flexes his hand.
Nerissa Dae closes her eyes as she breaths heavily, shutting off the intense glowing of arcanum burning strongly within her. She grits her teeth and growls as another contraction hits her, making the monitors spike and glitch erractically.
Jessa Alba: " How are you feeling hun "
Nerissa Dae turns eyes tearing up from the pain, teeth gritting a little. "Feels like he's trying to crawl back up inside me.."
Jessa Alba hopes she doesnt wreak of smoke too badly
Jessa Alba: Well I think we may have gone too far to try to stop the birth processas of now , so .. we should just take precaustions
Nerissa Dae nods as she continues gripping the covers while
she lies there.
Strike Kumsung looks on at as he walks across the room looking out the window.
Jessa Alba smiles as V returns with his coffe
Jessa Alba: " She's doing well . "
Vulcan Dagger sighs with relief
Nerissa Dae screams finally and shouts. "I'm fuckin' pushing damn it!" She nearly shreds the covers on either side of her. "Doin' well my ass!"
Vulcan Dagger: oh...I can see
Strike Kumsung sighs. "reminds of when bass was born...."
Jessa Alba laughs "Like I said she's doing well , she's gonna be a bit ... well cantankeous here for the next few ... but other htan that , she's ok . "
Vulcan Dagger: I will reframe from taking her hand for this part of the process
Jessa Alba: " Probably a good idea . "
Jessa Alba: " Neri honey , are you ready , we can do this as soon as you give me the word , this lil one's ready to start celebrating its birthday . "
Nerissa Dae bites her lip hard enough to draw beads of blood when she nods her head savagely as she looks to Jessa. "Now...before he d..decides to..crawl back up!" she whimpers.
Jessa Alba she pulls the sheet up once again , seeing that her cervix is fully dialated and the baby has dropped immencely " Im gonna need you to start pushing with your contractions, remember , again, push when you feel the contraction , and breathe inbetween ... " Vulcan , give her something to focus on , you .. a picture , it doesnt matter . "
Vulcan Dagger: Neri...do you remember the time we were slaughtering the orphanage..
Vulcan Dagger tightens his hand around hers
Strike Kumsung: try a better thought vulcan....
Vulcan Dagger: The funny gurgling sounds the Priest made when he died?
Vulcan Dagger: Or the beautiful sunset we watched together in Japan..
Jessa Alba: " Ok honey , here we go ... on the next contraction , I want you to give me a goood push , and bring your legs up to your chest as you do ... vulcan you can help her with this , it will let her bear down while pushing as opposed to breaking your hand . "
Vulcan Dagger: How about the the sweet music box I bought you, with the lovely music it played for you that you loved so much..
It was so hard to look past the pain she was experiencing. Thoughts of how she had put herself through so much in the past when she was her father's guinea pig for his torture devices. Willingly letting herself be the first one to try them out on...
Nerissa Dae clutches at Vulcan's hand tightly as she is hit with another contraction, eyes turned to him with tears running down her face again. She holds her breath as it tears through her pelvis and draws herself forward, muscles baring down to push as she utters a small mewing from the pain.
Lawrence Brun squints "Ew, gross, sis ... "
Jessa Alba: " Ok ... ok .. perfect , I can see the head starting to crown ... take a few deep breaths and we can go again on the next contraction. " :: hands vulcan a cold cloth to lay upon her forehead ::
Lawrence Brun looks at his father "Hello father"
Vulcan Dagger begins wiping away the hot sweat from her brow with the cool cloth
Vulcan Dagger: Hello Son.
Lawrence Brun tilts his head "She okay?"
Jessa Alba looks over at Lawrence , " she is doing very well , she's stong , as is the baby . "
Jessa Alba: " Ok honey , ready when you are .. "
Lawrence Brun squints abit "Father can i not be present for this, it does not feel right to watch."
Vulcan Dagger: Take a deep breath..
Vulcan Dagger: You have my permission, you were suppose to wait down stairs anyway
Nerissa Dae 's talons dig into his flesh, a small growl given at Law, as she gulps deeply to gather fresh breath. Her heavily pants and whimpers, "M.music..box?.." Hand shaking as she clings to Vulcan before another contraction hits her enough she cries out as she sits into it again, baring down to try and pushing as she'd been instructed.
Vulcan Dagger: The music Box, you loved those..you remember. I bought you with a special tune it plays that you adored
The music boxes...they come to mind much quicker. He knew how much she loved them, playing them as he held her small form in his arms to sooth her when the baby had put a lot of strain on her body. The thought of those haunting tunes filled her thoughts readily and Neri found it easier to work through the pain...
Jessa Alba gets all excited and looks up at her with a smile .. " Ok I see a head !!! Now .. take a few to relax, catch your breath , if we do this right , you got about two good pushes to go ... on the next contraction I want you to gimme all you got ... lets get that head outta there . "
Lawrence Brun punches the hospital wall smashing a hole in the drive opening watching the concrete debris fly outward hitting the ambulence and spreads along the road his breath coming out a hold black mist and his eyes a full blown flame his feet start to flare up and the cracks under his feet start to rise up afew firey licks of flame he growls alil then drops to his knee's and lets out an earth vibrating shout of rage as his body burst's into an infurno and he shouts "Gra'kenr-ah!" his flame fades down to a light blue then dissapears the cracks in the floor sealing up then he falls to the ground leaning against the wall he just half shatters and sit there his breath slowing getting less heavy.
Nerissa Dae catches the coppery smell of her own blood spilling, the black wash of it trickling out as she feels herself split in two from the baby being squeezed out. She nods to Vulcan or perhaps to Jessa, small needle teeth baring as she grimaces to the intense contractions gripping her pelvis. She breaths heavily when it passes and all too soon another strikes and she cries out, fingers of her free hand gripping her thighs as she brings them to her chest, pale face turning white as she pushes with everything she has, her cry muffled as she tries not to waste breath when she needs it for the birthing.
Jessa Alba reaches in with her hands and gently cradles the babies head, taking the babies nose and wiping it in a downward motion as to push all of the fluids out of its nasal passage so the baby can breathe , she genly takes a hold of the babies head and says " Ok honey this is it , this is the big one ... we need to get those shoulders out and the baby will follow in suit :: she pushes down on the babys head as to stretch Neri's pelvis open a bit wider in order to let the babies shoulders fall out of her one at a time.::
Nerissa Dae takes a few deep breaths, the pain excruiating from the white glow of her eyes and white cheeks showing a feverish like flush. She feels a fire of white pain enveloping her small frame and clenches her eyes closed as her entire body is gripped into a steel lock after taking a deep breath and holding it, pushing with every thing she can to clear the baby's shoulders from the birth canal. The strain shows heavily on her and she tries to fight a light headedness that hits her as she shoves with all her might to push him from her body.
Jessa Alba: :: she takes the baby in her right arm , cradling it as she takes the small blue suction device and cleans out the babies nose and throat to let it breathe .:: " Care to cut the cord brother , this is a proud moment for you. "
Jessa Alba smiles at the baby starts to cry " Perfect .. absolutely .. perfect. " :: she says as she peers down into the childs eyes ::
Vulcan Dagger flicks the knife he had already drawn in preparation for this moment and twists it about in the skillful play of his leather clad fingers as his looming shadowy figure strides closer. Looking down upon the new born infant before severng the cord with the sharp edge of the blade
Jessa Alba hands him the baby and begins to sew neri up from a slight tear during the process " Im so proud of you honey , you were so strong . "
Vulcan Dagger: Wow he looks just like you..
Nerissa Dae feels him spill from her, the tug of the cord as Jessa catches the baby, and falls back against the pillows behind her silently. From under lids heavy with exhaustion, she watches Vulcan taking their son, heavy breaths lessening but still showing the pain as Jessa works on her. Thankfully, passing the placenta was quicker and it left her feeling
lethagic when she smiles at them.
Vulcan Dagger: hes beautiful....you did great, Neri
Nerissa Dae goes to reach out to touch him but her arm just falls back down onto her soft belly to rest, eyes glistening with tears as she watches Vulcan cradling the baby. "He's okay? Rowan's alright...all five fingers and
toes.."
Vulcan Dagger: shhhh.....hes perfect.
Vulcan Dagger strokes his palm across her forehead
Vulcan Dagger: Don't worry.
Nerissa Dae closes her eyes and sighs, relief, exhaustion making her relax under his touch.
Jessa Alba goes to the sink and washed my hands and disposed of the blanket and the bag at the end of the table ...
Vulcan Dagger: Jessa..
Jessa Alba: Vulcan.
Vulcan Dagger hands her the baby
Lawrence Brun repeatedly bangs his head against the wall, hearing the cracks start to spread up the wall "Great ... yet another way to loose
me."
Vulcan Dagger: I'd like you to be one to give the baby to Nerissa, to hold..The loving aunt handing off the new born to his Proud Mother
Mystique Xeno looks on the ground and ceiling.. ''What happend here? And what's going on with you?''
Lawrence Brun punches the ground this time not as hard as he leave's an indent and looks up to myst then looks back down at the floor and mumbles "Nothing ... " snarls abit "Fucking nothing."
Mystique Xeno narrows her eyes.. ''Allright.. if you need anything or want to talk you know where to find me..''
Jessa Alba takes the baby in her arms and sheds a single tear on its chest and smells its sweet head " Happy Birthday little one, welcome to our family . " :: she hands the baby to Nerissa proudly and smiles :: " Its all worth it in the end , once they grab your finger with that teeny little hand . "
Lawrence Brun nods "Ill hold you to that." he grins patting the open floor "Have a seat."
Jessa Alba: "Thank you Vulcan for such an honor. I seee great things in this childs future. "
Mystique Xeno laughs ''Are you sure you don't want me to stand.. So you can try looking up my skirt?''
Lawrence Brun grins "Your wearing pants, its pointless." pats the floor again "Your free to sit on my hand though." he winks
Mystique Xeno laughs harder.. ''In your dreams''
Jessa Alba VOMITS violently
Lawrence Brun smiles "Then just sit."
Nerissa Dae 's eyes looks down at Rowan, being able to hold him for the first time. She bites her lip as tears spill and brushes her fingers over his hair and tiny features.
Nerissa Dae looks over at her father.
Jessa Alba: well the baby thinks its funny
Jessa Alba: haha

Nestling
The place was quiet when I arrived, or so I thought after glancing around. Mum was sound asleep on the bed and I went to cover her carefully after making sure she was alright. It still choked me up a little, looking at the dark haired elven woman that gave birth to me, and now my attention is stolen by a tiny sound behind me. Turning, I creep slowly towards it, the crib tucked up under an ornamental window, and looked down at my new baby brother. It was ackward resting against the side, my own swollen belly making it hard to get close unless I come in at an angle. Tears well up in my eyes and I can feel them running down as I silently can't help but cry with happiness as Raven sleeps in his bed. Those tiny baby sounds making my heart clench up with excitement. I couldn't wait until I had my own, rubbing my belly, I could feel the unborn shifting in its tiny confinement. It makes me smile all the more as I dried the tears from my eyes.
"How sweet you are, Nestling..my lil baby brother..are ya gonna grow up like me? I hope not.." Leaning over, I rest my chin on the railing of the crib, and reach down to brush a talon lightly across the feathery dark cap of hair crowning Raven's head. I smile again and sigh quietly as I try to ignore my own discomfort.
After a moments, I finally turn away and move over to the bed, crawling across to lie down with my mother to rest and hope for the pains to go away..

Anarchy is not the Law
She sat down carefully into the chair and braced herself as it tipped back. Hand resting on the arm as it set into position and she leaned back with a sigh. The darkened room glowed from the monitor, the screen holding the latest reports brought to her. Head almost dropping back, she let out another quiet sigh, more of exhaustion as she run her tiny hands over her expanded belly, her black tee shirt was stretched to its limits since the police force had nothing to fit her swollen body. Absently, her talon traced lazily over a bump she feel and it shifted, then twisted within to cause her breath to catch. Neri grips the chair's arm this time until the movement stopped and she could relax once more. " Soon?..Yes? Soon?" She whispers into the room as she just lets her hand rest there this time while a curl of red tumbles across her forehead as her hair is sturred by a breeze that come through the station.
Nerissa glances around the empty station and finally reaches up to unfasten her badge to toss on the desk before her with a small frown. She volunteered for this job. To help out. And the end results were not proving to be well at all. All the things that had kept her so busy for the past week had left her close to wanting to go into a frenzy and slit throats open and blow holes in those that kept coming at them. Lead detective? What were they thinking the day they put her in place to investigate things. Just because she's good at listening? Because she knew the right things to say and ask? Now..it was all blowing up around them.
She still thinks about the execution. Did it even happen? She was so busy trying to keep the Perigord out, the stragglers that come to try and stop it. Never mind he blew tons of laws. Never mind he threatened them. Backstabbed them. Ghostly had her so angry when she was trying to talk to the other lycan and she never even told father about Kenji's attempt to stun her with electricity when she was taking the cuffs off. Any good it did though. She managed to just absorb it like nothing and further weaken him by continuing it until there was an overwhelming hunger to just suck all the Luna's gift from the training shaman's body.
So many attempts. She ended up drawing a gun in the end when they broken in while Ghostly was being put down. And she was so relieved when they finally left. Thinking she could just return back inside and sit. Wait. The explosion left her utterly stupified as the whole station shook and ran down to a room filled with dust debris and smoke.
"What happened?!" She looks around, seeing no huge ass wolf around and looks back at Vulcan while the Death Angel growled somewhere behind her in response to the sound.
"It was a trap. Another one of Acid's bombs were placed. Hidden in the fan." He shook the dust out of his long black hair and Neri stared at her father in disbelief as he continues talking, "...went off in the middle of the exection...Ghostly's escaped. Again."
She's still miffed later when she hears what father tells his brother and sister about their pack brother. To her he says he escaped..to them he was killed. Now, she's left lost. They are attacked countlessly from the other Perigord's when they had the okay from their own leaders....
Closing the inhumanly bright blue eyes, she rests and tries to just push it all out of her mind while her father goes to take care of things and leaves her inside the police station until she'd rested enough. In the end, exhaustion finally gets her and Neri's falling asleep in the chair...

Vulcan's Surrendor pt Duo (Lengthy)
It lasted for several days. Vulcan pacing the small cell. The heat building within the small chamber where Nerissa was allowed to remain, curled up within the sprawling bones that littered the floor haphazardly. A small cold spot where only she invaded and spent staring nonstop nearly the entire time at her father when not asleep. He rested little, watching over her and listening intently to every word the lycans had to say with savage growls and animalistic threats to any that come near his daughter, inspite the seemingly desire to want to only help the small demon that they've seen taken nothing to eat nor drink since she'd followed Vulcan there to be locked down, nor left the entire time.
There was a time or two he did managed to get out though, some miraculous way, to make it to the streets and attack random people out of the blue. It was insane. Illogical. But oddly enough it seemed he would be defending the Perigord's own kyn from others without thought and leaving them utterly confused.
Several occasions, attempts of Ignis were made to break us out as well and each time these feats had failed. As well as others who had tried and failed. The Perigords fought them each and all. Jessa had come down and she too had been severally smacked down in the end at one point, never to return as promised....
Upon the third day...
She had woken early to her father still asleep and moved closer to the cell to be with him, her small body curled up around her swollen belly the best she could before exhaustion and stress drew her back to sleep again. From a fitful slumber, she jolted awake two hours later, to the normal sounds of den activity muffled further off and the sudden voice of Crow, the crazy demon that'd been following her around more of late claiming to be her brother from the future, talking to her father behind her. She moves away from him and finds him dangling in the air and it takes a moment to sort out the dark coils wrapped around his throat were shadow casted tentacles that where coming off a hideously huge monster in Vulcan's cell. It was only a flicker of something in her past that she knows this beast is her father so she only lets her resting body slide along the field separating them from one another to move further away.
"Soo hostile for a follower who sat her,with nerissa",grins and slightly laughs evily.."and why are you in there i am not naive like the wolves,i know you have the power to get out of there" Crow stared at Vulcan, grinning, while lycans begun to gather around the mouth of the small chamber.
The growls and snarling words of the werewolves languages has the small demoness' white head turning back to look at them again as they watch her father start slamming Crow against the wall before so many things starts to happen at one. She can feel their fear and smell the hunger for war beginning to crawl along their hackles as she watches them closely. The scent of blood begins to perfume the small chamber and it drowns out the scent of them in the end and then she hears it. "Ignis is coming again for Vulcan."
They managed to bust their way in, Ignis, but it wasn't solely her own clan house she sees. Vampires, the Tzmiche were pouring in as well, as where Alley Cats and many others she did not know. Were these people here to help to free her father or were they here to just cause trouble for the lycans.
Things started slowly and people begun to talk but something went wrong. She felt herself being lifted and carried back without warning, snatched from infront of the cell and right inside! Nerissa didn't have a chance to say anything and is gathered into her father's beastly arms. The heat pulsed off him in waves, making her light headed and sleepy for some reason this time. Were it not for the fact that she was dropped to the floor of the cell when, out of the blue, from the shadows chains shot out and slaps around his limbs, jerking him back and losing his hold on her.
Around them, she hears the screams and sounds of battle. The wolves howling and the blades clashing against steel as they fight with the demons, vampires and angels to free her father. Nerissa shoves up against his leg, sealed in a small cube, red brick all she can see around her on every side but for the one on her right. The door on the cell on lock down and hiding them away. Neri's face lifts to her father's as he seems to be watching the battle unfolding with his ghoulish eyes and her own pale face holds nothing, a lack of emotions making her look more like a doll at that moment, inspite the panic deep inside about what will happen if Ignis manages to succeed and win against the Perigord.
It wasn't until Jessa went down and blood pooled heavily under her that Vulcan jerked one powerful arm forward to break his chain loose from the wall. Tearing free to take one step out of his prison. They look at him. All standing in shock at the sudden look. The mass of dark unholy power that just radiates off him as he looms over her fallen body with a possessive, hungry growl while looking around, and done the most unimaginable thing they would never expect of him. He drops down and tears into her throat like a rabid beast, tearing it out in a mad frenzy, to drink of her blood heavily in loud slurps. Everyone forgot what they where doing to watch him and it was their undoing. This was the perfect time, watching and looking up at the beast that is her father as he tears out through those standing around with an blood thirsty roar and leaves her locked within the cell now as he begins to slaughter them all! Nerissa stares wide eyed by what she sees. Brothers and sisters being slaughtered. Perigords fighting not just those trying to save us but Vulcan as well. No one is safe from the insanity that tears through them and the small demon crawls to her feet to slam against the wall that suddenly begins to rise and shield her completely from what is going on. Leaving her in a hot dank cell of total darkness with the sounds of rage and war going on outside to ring out around her. It was like being on stage and being unable to see but hearing everything around her and she screamed as she slammed herself against the wall as memories of being locked up once upon a time while still part of the Coven.
As it spread out between the lair and the streets above, her half brother Trey managed to get the doors open to the cell and grabbed for her. Neri screamed and with talons raked over his glove in refusal, fearing she'd be hurt more out there then being left inside the cell. When he realizes she won't budge he tosses her backwards and mutters obscenities, leaving her to her own demise while she curls up in a corner to watch and try not to be seen while she sees the fighting continuing outside the chamber mouth. It seems hours upon hours had gone on and then the sounds just seem to cease around her before she hears a scrambling outside, huffing and the sounds of the werewolves returning so she thought. She saw shadows moving and then familiar bodies as the Perigord returned with wounded, followed by the scrambling sounds that announces the return of her father. She was just standing at the mouth of the chamber and something wraps around her armpits and Neri's head tips back, eyes wide and spots Vulcan overhead from a large gapping hole in the wall. Relief hits her and as she's lifted, she watches as more tentacles are lowered and wrapping around Jessa's body as well, Vulcan snatching them both up, and takes off with a fierce roar for the highest vantage point in Obsidian City. Free again. Free to breath in the night air, so much cleaner then Toxian City. To cling to her father as he sets her down once more on solid ground and feel the heart beating in his chest as he crushes her small frame firmly against his demonic form. She trembles but she sighs in relief to the purring she hears rumbling.
He sets her down again and turns away to take care of Jessa, replace the blood she'd lost, and restart her heart once more, using his unholy powers to heal his vampiric sister. Exhaustion has the pregnant demon sink down to her knees and sits there on the retangular rooftop to watch him working and glances over to see Kiba had come to join them there as well once more and a heated discussion had panned out before, after a lengthy bit of confusion, come boiling down to an end. Her father once more took on his human appearance once more, regaining his senses and clasping Kiba's arm tightly in companionship with a hearty laugh. Seems all had come out as planned and he was very pleased.

Surrender of Vulcan to the Perigord (Lengthy RP) Day 1
Suyuan Quan walks over towards Neri and begins to hum a lullaby Mei sung to her as a child and she gets on her knees as she commences singing to the baby.
Nerissa Dae staggers back as she lets go of the Eye and nearly falls on her ass after
holding onto it too long, large black eyes staring ahead sightlessly.
Suyuan Quan leaps to her bare feet as she steadies her godmother.
Suyuan Quan: Godmother!
Nerissa Dae coughs and suddenly spits up blood.
Suyuan Quan gasps reaches up to wipe the blood away from Neri's mouth,
"What happened?"
Nerissa Dae adjusts herself and moves her face away as she lets her head hang while black ichor dribbles from her chin, " Not suppose to mess with it...but I was tryin' to look into the den.."
Suyuan Quan sighs heavily as she removes her glove and wipes at the black liquid protruding from her lips as she closes her eyes to focus on father.
Suyuan Quan attempts to support her and wipes away the last bit of the black fluid, "Don't ever touch it again."
Nerissa Dae rocks a little on her leg as she stares down. "I don't wanna be down here. ...I wanna be up there with him..I don't want him to go to the lycans and
surrender himself.." she whispers.
Suyuan Quan shakes her head as she collects her in her arms, "He can handle himself, but I am ordered to take care of you."
Suyuan Quan: I know how you feel, but you must stay down here with me.
Nerissa Dae 's cold body drops down a little in a slump as lids grow heavy. When she starts to breath harder instead of less it seems she's putting a strain on herself with what ever she's doing.
" I don't wanna stay here...they surround him more and more...even if he's
turnin' himself in." Neri's tone grows emotional further. " Even if he knows what he's doin'.." Suyuan Quan wraps her arms around her godmother's cold form, one hand coming to rest upon her belly as she whispers softly to her, "Calm down. This isn't good for you or the baby. He will return, I promise."
Nerissa Dae looks up again towards the Eye and begins to pull up, climbing the side of the pedestal with a grimace of pain showing as she tries to reach for the top. " Not if they chain him up! Not if he is locked away when he surrenders..."
Suyuan Quan reaches out grasp Neri's wrist firmly as she tries to pull her back, "Then I will see to it, but you must rest. Stop this."
Nerissa Dae trembles as she pulls against the hands on her and growls as her hands reaches for the Eye again blindly.
Suyuan Quan grips Neri's shoulders as she attempts to pull her back, using all her strength in the process.
She growls and blistered hands tear on the metal table as she feels her god daughter pulling her back down to the floor again. Away from the eye. Her thoughts grow dizzy and then deep in her gut she feels the familiar pull and suddenly her world twists and she's falling. Right into the midsts of the lycans' den at her father's feet where he summoned her.
Nerissa's head snaps up, the blinding white hair catches the light off their scones, the fire turning it red and gold as she looks at him through tears, and then she tucks her head to glance around as she turns herself in that crouch while moving her small curled form closer to his legs to rest and wait...
Justinian Diavolo inhales deeply and lets himself revert to his human form
Wolfigang Wycliffe knows the Dread Lord does not like hearing lycan and therefore remains silent.
Eden Hendrassen sighs nervously... "I uh... don't really know how to coat this so ill just say it... I want her as my mate.... She means everything to me and I'd do anything for her..."
Nyxx Jigsaw looks at him for a long moment then turns to kiba waiting for his answer.
Joules Dyrssen sighs "awww how cute"
Wolfigang Wycliffe raises his tail in happiness.
Gwendalyn Darkstone lets out a soft growl as her body shifts back, and she listens quietly, quite comfortable in her nudity
Xanatos Skytower squats down and pets wolfie behind the ear
KibaTheWhiteWolf Demina considers a though about his single round 10 gauge slug round
shotgun... Chuckling to himself as he does... Looking Eden up and down he contemplates the request...
KibaTheWhiteWolf Demina Inspects Eden as if he were being chosen from
birth to either be tossed, or accepted...
Wolfigang Wycliffe moves into deliberate position. His meaning clear (as I lag there.) I stand behind Eden.
KibaTheWhiteWolf Demina: "You must possess great strength, resolve...
You must also Make Nardia your one true alliance..." Looking to Nyxx and then back to
Eden... "You will show this family your devotion to Nardia and to your request... You will prove this to each and everyone..."
KibaTheWhiteWolf Demina: "And as time goes bye, I am sure by your actions you will show your worthiness to this request..."
KibaTheWhiteWolf Demina: "Eden, your request is accepted... However, understand that this is the start of your courtship... When you have shown your true nature, and have given yourself to this request, you will have my full blessing to take her hand and stand by her side under luna's blessing..."
KibaTheWhiteWolf Demina awaits response as he returns his arm back around Nyxx...
Eden Hendrassen sighs reluctantly and nods. "Thank you Ulfric..."
KibaTheWhiteWolf Demina nods his head...
Justinian Diavolo 's gaze shifts to the young leopard standing proudly naked. Shifting his eyes back to the ulfric without som much as an expression..he unbuckles
his cloak , steps forward and hands it to Gwen. He continues to watch the Ulfric without comment.
Joules Dyrssen claps for Eden and Nardia
Nardia Bashly slides her hand into Edens looking at her parents with a silent nod.
Gwendalyn Darkstone looks back and wraps the cloak around her, looking back to her Nimer-Raj and Nimer-Ra
Vulcan Dagger steps foward, the air screaming in protest as the the razor edge of his double bladed sword is brought around with its glinting arc coming to rest in mid-motion with the tip of the terrible weapon pointed directly at Kiba's chest
Nardia Bashly blinks leaning closer to Eden...
Gwendalyn Darkstone steps foreward, slightly, a small growl coming from her lips
Lorie Nitely growls warningly as she sees the blade near her Ulfric
Paisley Shoreman: RrRrAaAaWwWwRrRrZzZz**
Nyxx Jigsaw turns quickly seeing the weapon at her mates chest snarls quietly in warning
Nerissa Dae lowers herself slowly to the ground and looks up to watch her father's actions with tail curling around her hooves.
Wolfigang Wycliffe, exhausted as he is, resumes his frenzied form.
Titannia MacMoragh growls, her power flaring alive, watching the Dark Lord.
KibaTheWhiteWolf Demina Stands his ground as his eyes face forward into Vulcan's eyes, his arm staying around Nyxx's waist...
Jaide Nightfire jumps closer poised and ready
Vulcan Dagger turns his wrist over, pressing his thumb into the switch as the twin blades slowly retract back into the hilt of the ancient weapon itself. His arm fully extending outwards as to present the weapon itself
Nyxx Jigsaw eases back a bit watching carefully
Gwendalyn Darkstone looks back to J, her eyes filled with a new light, she tilts her head as if to ask whats going on
Xanatos Skytower looks on in shock.
Paisley Shoreman quiets the beast from within him and resumes his silent posture
KibaTheWhiteWolf Demina extends his hand wrist up, looking to each one of those around to back away...
Vulcan Dagger places the weapon in Kiba's hand
Justinian Diavolo continues to watch. his unblinking eyes taking in the scene...he shifts his stance slightly, his hand slipping into the darkness of the ether....ready to draw the dread scythe should it be needed. Seeing the offer by the dark lord, he eases his hand back to his side, leaving the horrific blade in its natural realm.
Titannia MacMoragh steps back, but continues to pace stalkingly, her blue in blue eyes never leaving the Dark Lord, well aware he does not need to use a weapon to be one of the most dangerous creatures alive.
KibaTheWhiteWolf Demina accepts the blade as his fingers curl around the hilt, though not knowing the full reason as to the passing of such a weapon he nods...
Vulcan Dagger: My time here has ended.
Vulcan Dagger: I surrender, Kiba
Nerissa Dae wraps her arms around her knees as she watches over her folded arms closely then restlessness has her back on her feet again.
Titannia MacMoragh's eyebrows rise up. What, she wonders can the Dark Lord mean by these words....?
Nardia Bashly grip Edens hand watching...confused....
Gwendalyn Darkstone her eyebrow raises, wondering what he means, and what he has up his sleeve
Vulcan Dagger unhooks the belt around his waist, leting the array of weaponry fall heavily to the ground
Paisley Shoreman crosses his arms and listens intently
Gwendalyn Darkstone looks back to J, her mouth dropping open, totally confused and shocked
KibaTheWhiteWolf Demina squeezes the release for the blades as each end extends to their fullest... His hand holding the spear perpendicularly to the ground... He contemplates his brothers words...
Eden Hendrassen looks at Vulcan with a look of surprise on his face. "..... Am I dead...... again? Or am I dreaming?"
Nardia Bashly pinches Eden's arm ''Shh....''
Nerissa Dae 's head turns, eyes following Kiba's hands, as she lightly tugs on her tattered sweatshirt. She's made her face hard to read now, the lack of any emotions showing, and soon her hands still.
KibaTheWhiteWolf Demina's breathes become slow...
Tabby1 Tigerpaw growls at Midnight
Midnight Troglodite waves to Tabby
Nyxx Jigsaw looks from Vulcan to kiba and waits for kibas answer
Gwendalyn Darkstone loos to her Nimer-Raj, then to vulcan, wondering whats coming next
KibaTheWhiteWolf Demina his eye's close as his mind races, his memories and understanding of all that has happened... His mind coming to the relizations of their history in this world...
Tabby1 Tigerpaw flicks her tail up and looks away from Midnight
Jaide Nightfire wonders what the hell is going on.
Nardia Bashly looks between them all...leaning on Eden wondering who will speak next...
Eden Hendrassen wraps his arm around Nardia's waist... still stareing from his Ulfric to Vulcan and back.
Vulcan Dagger extends his wrists foward
KibaTheWhiteWolf Demina his voice tries a moment to speak but his voice falls silent as he
looks to Nyxx and then back to Vulcan... "Fate as it were, has rolled the dice and as I walk
this path I know the truth and essence of what must follow..." Looking to the pack, "Take him to the prison beneath the stairs..."
Gwendalyn Darkstone mouth drops
Wolfigang Wycliffe: Sir. If you would come with me. (Looks to Titannia.)
Nerissa Dae 's fingers tightens together as she looks up at her father and Kiba.
Titannia MacMoragh looks at the Dark Lord. Nods at Wolf. "This way."
Gwendalyn Darkstone moves back, too confused to think, she looks up at Justin
Nardia Bashly follows silently....
Justinian Diavolo glances down at Gwen, his eyes blank but those that know him....see a
light look of bewilderment in the corners.
Xanatos Skytower wonders what trick will follow.
Nerissa Dae shakes before she takes a step forward. Forcing herself to follow behind them.
Lorie Nitely watches Vulcan being put in the cell than shivers as she remembers being put in his, she looks down than walks back to where everyone else is.
Titannia MacMoragh looks at Vulcan. Her eyes are confused but she wills her face into a mask that shows nothing as she Puts the restraints on him. Watching warily, but thinking the Dark Lord would not need to lure her close th do somethnga suprising.
Xanatos Skytower looks at Gwen and giggles. "Nice cloak Gwen"
Titannia MacMoragh: *to do somthing suprising*
Lorie Nitely steps behind Jaide as she leans against him in confusion
Gwendalyn Darkstone smiles softly, but looks to Vulcan in the cage, something in her memory stirring but she cant find it, as if it has been erased, but its lingering on the edge of her memory...
Titannia MacMoragh steps back. "Will this hold him?"
Wolfigang Wycliffe backs his captain up, making sure there ARE no surprises. He double checks the locks from a different perspective to be sure the demon lord cannot escape.
KibaTheWhiteWolf Demina: It will...
KibaTheWhiteWolf Demina throws a face mask to Titannia...
Titannia MacMoragh nods, assuming the Ulfric knows what he speaks of.
Titannia MacMoragh looks at the mask. "For him? " Questions the Ulfric*
KibaTheWhiteWolf Demina his face emotionless, "For him." He replies in a low tone...
Titannia MacMoragh nods, she goes forward and looks at the Dark Lord, as usual, she avoids
his eyes as she slips the mask on his face.
Nerissa Dae pushes through so she can see Vulcan, not saying a word since she'd arrived, all she can do is watch what happens.
Nyxx Jigsaw looks at Nerissa wondering how she is handling seeing her father like this.
Titannia MacMoragh shudders slightly, the palpable aura of menace around the Dark Lord still there, despite his current position.
Vulcan Dagger exhales slowly through the restraints of the face mask that binds his jaw together
KibaTheWhiteWolf Demina: "For all those that doubted my love and my allegiance to my
family... I hope now, you haven't a second thought on the matter..." He turns to them his eyes seeming to peer into the minds of each of them... Turning back to Vulcan... "So it is upon me to assume the throne..."
Gwendalyn Darkstone wraps her arms around her, shuddering, something she finds somewhat wrong about this, something she doesnt quite like, but she trusts her nimer-Raj to know what to do and remains silent, her eyes fixed on the dark lord
Titannia MacMoragh's voice sounds somewhat hollow as she asks: "What....are we going to do with him?"
Justinian Diavolo speaks in a loud voice, the chill of the grave thick
on the air. "We will respect him above all else"
Keljar Cosmos wonders what throne Kiba is talking about assuming. He doesn't like what he is seeing as one tyrant's reign ends, does the Perigord alpha expect to take his place.
Gwendalyn Darkstone looks to Justin, then back to Vulcan, her arms still wrapped around her, still trying to remember sometihng that is just out of reach..
Gwendalyn Darkstone: ....
Titannia MacMoragh nods at Justinian's words. Whatever else Vulcan has been, respect is something he has always been due.
KibaTheWhiteWolf Demina places a hand to Titannia's shoulder... "Our struggle for survival has given us newfound heights..." He turns to look at the others in the pack... Kneeling before them... "I leave the acceptance of this bearing to you all... As when the time was dior I asked this family for their approval of me... Again I ask you now, Will you accept the leadership of Nyxx and I here and now?"
KibaTheWhiteWolf Demina bows his head to his family....
Nardia Bashly grips Eden's hand and looks at her Ulfric ''Always.''
Jaide Nightfire: ABSOLUTELY. I never had a doubt
Lorie Nitely peeks around Jaide as she says softly, "always, you are our Ulfric and Lupa"
Titannia MacMoragh looks from one brother to the other, only now, bereft of rainments and artifice can she see they do infact look so much like brothers. She turns her face to the Ulfric and does not hesitate: "Of course Ulfric, always."
Gwendalyn Darkstone looks to Kiba, and nods gently "My Nimer-Raj...that will never
change..." she then goes very quiet, looking to the others briefly
Wolfigang Wycliffe: Kiba, I have been Ronin long enough. I have sworn to you as you are my Daimyo. This I never did lightly. My swords are yours to command and my life is in your hands.
Eden Hendrassen nods "Always Ulfric..."
Vulcan Dagger: "Everything Is Proceeding As I Have Forseen."
Nerissa Dae 's arms fall to her side and creeps forward, just having eyes for her father's bound form. Her head turns but she looks straight ahead as she walks, making sure she doesn't touch any in passing.
Gwendalyn Darkstone looks to Kiba, this overwhelming feeling she should go and sit by him,
ask him to accept her words, to show her alliegance to him and her Nimer-Ra, but she remains still unsure if she should
Justinian Diavolo stands, his eyes locked on the wall behind which Vulcan is confined. He listens to the words that the pack speaks. What thoughts pass through his mind are unreadable. His eyes narrow slightly at the words of the ulfric as if he is in thought.
KibaTheWhiteWolf Demina places his hand upon his right knee and liftshimself off the ground as his eye's fill with emotion, a single tear drips from his cheek..
Titannia MacMoragh stops forward, goes to her knees, looks into the eyesof her Ulfric as she raises her head slightly, tilting back and exposing her neck in a wolf's guesture
Justinian Diavolo speaks his voice cold and even..."do you say that it is our choice if you accept the command of the city as offered by Vulcan's surrender?"
Titannia MacMoragh: to an Ulfric
Xanatos Skytower stands looking on that what is unfolding totally bewildered. Can this be the Vulcan that ordered her torture. Ran this city with all fearing him surely not. Her head shakes slightly showing her thoughts.
KibaTheWhiteWolf Demina looks to Justinian and nods his head, "Yes, The people must always have the choice of who they wish to lead... It was always the perigord way..."
Gwendalyn Darkstone moves foreward a step, but then she stops, looking to her Nimer-Raj then Nimer-Ra, then moves all the way foreward she kneels before her Nimer-Raj, her head down, hand up to him, keeping herself below him as he is her King
Justinian Diavolo listens to the words the Ulfric speaks and contemplates the dark and difficult possibilities this future holds. He nods his head slowly.
Titannia MacMoragh rises smoothly back to her feet with a nod to the Ulfric.
KibaTheWhiteWolf Demina: This city was always to become yours... We have been tortured, killed, beaten, enslaved, and ruthlessly broken down until the brink of our existence...
Jaide Nightfire is way totally confused as to why vulcan would allow himself to be locked up rather than jut leave town if his time had come. And if his time has come well that blows.
Gwendalyn Darkstone kneels there, keeping herself there, listening, her head rising to look up at him
Eden Hendrassen 1 eyes 3
Vulcan Dagger watches silently
Wolfigang Wycliffe: He would not just leave town. Abandoning it like a rat leaving a sinking ship. If his time was done, then this was innevitable.
Wolfigang Wycliffe: To just leave like a thief in the night would bring dishonor on everything he stood for.
Vulcan Dagger flexes his hands slowly, straining the bindings slightly as his balefire eyes shift slowly from one being to the next, listening to the events
Titannia MacMoragh: Invevitable....*her eyes harden*.... so do we end it? *looks over at Vulcan again, then back to her Ulfric* "Do we end...him? Not vengeance, Ulfric...don't misunderstand me...but this...*nods at the prison*...is Elba, before they had the sense to kill Napoleon.
Justinian Diavolo moves forward so that he is in clear view of the dread lord. His head and eyes slowly shift so that he looks the Demon in the face. his eyes narrow as he slowly inclines his head forward as if in concentration. Inky darkness swirls within the whites of his eyes and dark Vapour begins to form with every exhalation......
Justinian Diavolo speaks...."This one is mine to determin his fate....and Gaia has said....it is not his time"
KibaTheWhiteWolf Demina: "I know not what else to say" His voice falls silent as he looks to each of them...
Titannia MacMoragh nods and steps back, accepting the Freki's word on the matter.
Wolfigang Wycliffe: Hati, this place must be guarded at all times from now until we DO decide what to do with him.
Gwendalyn Darkstone looks to Justin, then to vulcan, something in her eyes not quite readable, then she shifts back on her heels away from her nimer-Raj to stand, and wraps her arms about her once more, hugging herself
Titannia MacMoragh: Agreed.
Vulcan Dagger allows his eyes to widen animalistically with a wild intensity for a brief moment before narrowing them into sinister slits of focus as he remains silent. His looming frame held in place by the multiple bindings as with his gaze staring ahead
Nerissa Dae 's head turns as she casts her gaze over her shoulder to look at those behind her and then turns to look the other way at Kiba.
Justinian Diavolo looks past the Ulfric to stare unblinkingly at the dark lord.
Titannia MacMoragh mutters again "Elba....." and shakes her head slightly, watching the Dark Lord's eyes.
Wolfigang Wycliffe: Ulfric, other matters require my attention. I would take my leave now.
KibaTheWhiteWolf Demina: Go in luna's loving embrace...
Wolfigang Wycliffe turns towards the cell and regards the being within. Showing an incredible ammount of respect, bows to him, a prisoner.
Vulcan Dagger inclines his head foward, the chains clanking in the darkness
KibaTheWhiteWolf Demina extends the spear and presses the button to withdraw the blades... The sound of their cold metal scraping against the hilt as each blade slides in... "Only by the choice of perigord shall I remain in a position of power... And should I become unfit for this task, it will be perigord's to unseat me..."
Wolfigang Wycliffe (In Lycan): gr seg ah growl raha r-ro gr g roaha grr-snort chur gro gro a dc khse ra talib r-ro ahinbus grr-snort arrgrll roaha
Justinian Diavolo shifts his stance watching the dread lord with unwavering gaze.
Jaide Nightfire (In Lycan): kel kel raha llww raaaah gr ah raaaah
Rio D.(Digi Pera) mummbles something about a soul..
Phillippa Parx walks carefull and silently and glances at where Vulcan stands. She takes a mental picture of the moment.
KibaTheWhiteWolf Demina: I desire, not power, but for this family to survive...
Justinian Diavolo turns his head and speaks, answering the comment..."not this night, little one"
Vulcan Dagger: " Its not about Power . . Its about Sending a Message. " - Vulcan Dagger
Nyxx Jigsaw stands with her arms relaxed at her side watching the interaction not showing her thoughts on her face.
Rio D.(Digi Pera) crosses and sighs, her lips curled into a frown. "Fine.."
KibaTheWhiteWolf Demina Inhales slowly, "And as such I will accept the rule of the city... So long as you believe me fit for the title...
Gwendalyn Darkstone her eyes fall on Vulcan and seeing him like that makes her feel so small, if someone with this much power has given up, then what about the little guys... something dark passes over her eyes and she simply stands there, either in thought or just not willing to show what she feels
Titannia MacMoragh: Nerissa....Did you know this was what your father was coming here for?
Nerissa Dae keeps her back to them as she remains seated on the ground, a small spot of cold, where she watches her father.
Jaide Nightfire suddenly realizes what's happening. ((duh)) He looks to the Ulfric and nods with a slight grin.
KibaTheWhiteWolf Demina: "I must rest, this night has taken more out of me than I expected..."
Titannia MacMoragh: Good night Ulfric
Nardia Bashly nods...''Sleep Well Father..''
Vulcan Dagger watches silently
Eden Hendrassen: Rest well Ulfric...
Gwendalyn Darkstone nods, hearing her nimer-Raj speak, but she doesnt take her eyes from the Dark lord
Justinian Diavolo says nothing but continues to observe Vulcan
KibaTheWhiteWolf Demina: "Please come and sit with me..."
Phillippa Parx turns to follow the Ulfric.
Nardia Bashly glances at Vulcan silently before moving back to follow.
Rio D.(Digi Pera) approaches the Freki, standing at his side she removed her glasses. Her dark eyes fell on the small cold demon then raised to Vulcan
Ghostdogg Torok rests his head on Rios shoulder
Vulcan Dagger raises his chin, looking at Justinian
Titannia MacMoragh notes that the Freki is at the cell.
Gwendalyn Darkstone steps foreward, the sound of the long cloak on the ground as she stands on the other side of Justin, her eyes on the Demon lord, but her eyes do not betray what she feels
Justinian Diavolo steps slowly forward as the pack follows the Ulfric. He narrows his usually unexpressive eyes and vulcan sees within them suspicion and disbelief as if he knows something is not right. He says nothing
Rio D.(Digi Pera) reaches her hand to Doggs head and pats him gently on the head, her eyes still on the demon
Jaide Nightfire growls softly to J
Ghostdogg Torok walks away from the demon lord the stench sufficating his senses
Jaide Nightfire (In Lycan): raha arrgrll grrl jurak
Jaide Nightfire: this doesn't feel right
Vulcan Dagger flexes his fingers in and out slowly, his jaw restrained and sealed closed by the powerful mask . The muscled bulk of his arms and legs binded by the infernal chains that rattle and clank with every small movement of his body
Rio D.(Digi Pera) drums her fingers on her chin. "Who would have thought...I still can't believe what i'm seeing.."
Nerissa Dae listens to the steps come closer and she barely turns her head to look at the legs, not even bothering to lift her head off her arms to look at the lycans standing a few meters from her.
Jaide Nightfire hears his Ulfric calling but still can't fully believe vulcan's in chains in the cell. He looks back at the cell then turns to go over to Kiba
Gwendalyn Darkstone lets her eyes drift up to justin, and then she turns, her eyes once more giving Vulcan a small glance, her eyes giving him all that he needs to know, that even chained, she respects him, for what he did for her in the past, though she cannot seem to remember it all..and turns going to join her pack
Jaide Nightfire (In Lycan): grrl al growl
Jaide Nightfire: I'll be close
Justinian Diavolo points at the youg female demon at the feet of the dark lord. He speaks and when he does those present notice a slight change in the tone...."Please see the young one has all she needs to be comfortable. She is to be allowed to stay with him if she so desires. She is under my protection while she is here"
Jaide Nightfire nods to J
Justinian Diavolo motions to the pack..."Ulfric calls....come"
Justinian Diavolo turns and walks toward the throne
Rio D.(Digi Pera) frowns then leaves the two Demons alone
Nerissa Dae staggers back as she lets go of the Eye and nearly falls on her ass after
holding onto it too long, large black eyes staring ahead sightlessly.
Suyuan Quan leaps to her bare feet as she steadies her godmother.
Suyuan Quan: Godmother!
Nerissa Dae coughs and suddenly spits up blood.
Suyuan Quan gasps reaches up to wipe the blood away from Neri's mouth,
"What happened?"
Nerissa Dae adjusts herself and moves her face away as she lets her head hang while black ichor dribbles from her chin, " Not suppose to mess with it...but I was tryin' to look into the den.."
Suyuan Quan sighs heavily as she removes her glove and wipes at the black liquid protruding from her lips as she closes her eyes to focus on father.
Suyuan Quan attempts to support her and wipes away the last bit of the black fluid, "Don't ever touch it again."
Nerissa Dae rocks a little on her leg as she stares down. "I don't wanna be down here. ...I wanna be up there with him..I don't want him to go to the lycans and
surrender himself.." she whispers.
Suyuan Quan shakes her head as she collects her in her arms, "He can handle himself, but I am ordered to take care of you."
Suyuan Quan: I know how you feel, but you must stay down here with me.
Nerissa Dae 's cold body drops down a little in a slump as lids grow heavy. When she starts to breath harder instead of less it seems she's putting a strain on herself with what ever she's doing.
" I don't wanna stay here...they surround him more and more...even if he's
turnin' himself in." Neri's tone grows emotional further. " Even if he knows what he's doin'.." Suyuan Quan wraps her arms around her godmother's cold form, one hand coming to rest upon her belly as she whispers softly to her, "Calm down. This isn't good for you or the baby. He will return, I promise."
Nerissa Dae looks up again towards the Eye and begins to pull up, climbing the side of the pedestal with a grimace of pain showing as she tries to reach for the top. " Not if they chain him up! Not if he is locked away when he surrenders..."
Suyuan Quan reaches out grasp Neri's wrist firmly as she tries to pull her back, "Then I will see to it, but you must rest. Stop this."
Nerissa Dae trembles as she pulls against the hands on her and growls as her hands reaches for the Eye again blindly.
Suyuan Quan grips Neri's shoulders as she attempts to pull her back, using all her strength in the process.
She growls and blistered hands tear on the metal table as she feels her god daughter pulling her back down to the floor again. Away from the eye. Her thoughts grow dizzy and then deep in her gut she feels the familiar pull and suddenly her world twists and she's falling. Right into the midsts of the lycans' den at her father's feet where he summoned her.
Nerissa's head snaps up, the blinding white hair catches the light off their scones, the fire turning it red and gold as she looks at him through tears, and then she tucks her head to glance around as she turns herself in that crouch while moving her small curled form closer to his legs to rest and wait...
Justinian Diavolo inhales deeply and lets himself revert to his human form
Wolfigang Wycliffe knows the Dread Lord does not like hearing lycan and therefore remains silent.
Eden Hendrassen sighs nervously... "I uh... don't really know how to coat this so ill just say it... I want her as my mate.... She means everything to me and I'd do anything for her..."
Nyxx Jigsaw looks at him for a long moment then turns to kiba waiting for his answer.
Joules Dyrssen sighs "awww how cute"
Wolfigang Wycliffe raises his tail in happiness.
Gwendalyn Darkstone lets out a soft growl as her body shifts back, and she listens quietly, quite comfortable in her nudity
Xanatos Skytower squats down and pets wolfie behind the ear
KibaTheWhiteWolf Demina considers a though about his single round 10 gauge slug round
shotgun... Chuckling to himself as he does... Looking Eden up and down he contemplates the request...
KibaTheWhiteWolf Demina Inspects Eden as if he were being chosen from
birth to either be tossed, or accepted...
Wolfigang Wycliffe moves into deliberate position. His meaning clear (as I lag there.) I stand behind Eden.
KibaTheWhiteWolf Demina: "You must possess great strength, resolve...
You must also Make Nardia your one true alliance..." Looking to Nyxx and then back to
Eden... "You will show this family your devotion to Nardia and to your request... You will prove this to each and everyone..."
KibaTheWhiteWolf Demina: "And as time goes bye, I am sure by your actions you will show your worthiness to this request..."
KibaTheWhiteWolf Demina: "Eden, your request is accepted... However, understand that this is the start of your courtship... When you have shown your true nature, and have given yourself to this request, you will have my full blessing to take her hand and stand by her side under luna's blessing..."
KibaTheWhiteWolf Demina awaits response as he returns his arm back around Nyxx...
Eden Hendrassen sighs reluctantly and nods. "Thank you Ulfric..."
KibaTheWhiteWolf Demina nods his head...
Justinian Diavolo 's gaze shifts to the young leopard standing proudly naked. Shifting his eyes back to the ulfric without som much as an expression..he unbuckles
his cloak , steps forward and hands it to Gwen. He continues to watch the Ulfric without comment.
Joules Dyrssen claps for Eden and Nardia
Nardia Bashly slides her hand into Edens looking at her parents with a silent nod.
Gwendalyn Darkstone looks back and wraps the cloak around her, looking back to her Nimer-Raj and Nimer-Ra
Vulcan Dagger steps foward, the air screaming in protest as the the razor edge of his double bladed sword is brought around with its glinting arc coming to rest in mid-motion with the tip of the terrible weapon pointed directly at Kiba's chest
Nardia Bashly blinks leaning closer to Eden...
Gwendalyn Darkstone steps foreward, slightly, a small growl coming from her lips
Lorie Nitely growls warningly as she sees the blade near her Ulfric
Paisley Shoreman: RrRrAaAaWwWwRrRrZzZz**
Nyxx Jigsaw turns quickly seeing the weapon at her mates chest snarls quietly in warning
Nerissa Dae lowers herself slowly to the ground and looks up to watch her father's actions with tail curling around her hooves.
Wolfigang Wycliffe, exhausted as he is, resumes his frenzied form.
Titannia MacMoragh growls, her power flaring alive, watching the Dark Lord.
KibaTheWhiteWolf Demina Stands his ground as his eyes face forward into Vulcan's eyes, his arm staying around Nyxx's waist...
Jaide Nightfire jumps closer poised and ready
Vulcan Dagger turns his wrist over, pressing his thumb into the switch as the twin blades slowly retract back into the hilt of the ancient weapon itself. His arm fully extending outwards as to present the weapon itself
Nyxx Jigsaw eases back a bit watching carefully
Gwendalyn Darkstone looks back to J, her eyes filled with a new light, she tilts her head as if to ask whats going on
Xanatos Skytower looks on in shock.
Paisley Shoreman quiets the beast from within him and resumes his silent posture
KibaTheWhiteWolf Demina extends his hand wrist up, looking to each one of those around to back away...
Vulcan Dagger places the weapon in Kiba's hand
Justinian Diavolo continues to watch. his unblinking eyes taking in the scene...he shifts his stance slightly, his hand slipping into the darkness of the ether....ready to draw the dread scythe should it be needed. Seeing the offer by the dark lord, he eases his hand back to his side, leaving the horrific blade in its natural realm.
Titannia MacMoragh steps back, but continues to pace stalkingly, her blue in blue eyes never leaving the Dark Lord, well aware he does not need to use a weapon to be one of the most dangerous creatures alive.
KibaTheWhiteWolf Demina accepts the blade as his fingers curl around the hilt, though not knowing the full reason as to the passing of such a weapon he nods...
Vulcan Dagger: My time here has ended.
Vulcan Dagger: I surrender, Kiba
Nerissa Dae wraps her arms around her knees as she watches over her folded arms closely then restlessness has her back on her feet again.
Titannia MacMoragh's eyebrows rise up. What, she wonders can the Dark Lord mean by these words....?
Nardia Bashly grip Edens hand watching...confused....
Gwendalyn Darkstone her eyebrow raises, wondering what he means, and what he has up his sleeve
Vulcan Dagger unhooks the belt around his waist, leting the array of weaponry fall heavily to the ground
Paisley Shoreman crosses his arms and listens intently
Gwendalyn Darkstone looks back to J, her mouth dropping open, totally confused and shocked
KibaTheWhiteWolf Demina squeezes the release for the blades as each end extends to their fullest... His hand holding the spear perpendicularly to the ground... He contemplates his brothers words...
Eden Hendrassen looks at Vulcan with a look of surprise on his face. "..... Am I dead...... again? Or am I dreaming?"
Nardia Bashly pinches Eden's arm ''Shh....''
Nerissa Dae 's head turns, eyes following Kiba's hands, as she lightly tugs on her tattered sweatshirt. She's made her face hard to read now, the lack of any emotions showing, and soon her hands still.
KibaTheWhiteWolf Demina's breathes become slow...
Tabby1 Tigerpaw growls at Midnight
Midnight Troglodite waves to Tabby
Nyxx Jigsaw looks from Vulcan to kiba and waits for kibas answer
Gwendalyn Darkstone loos to her Nimer-Raj, then to vulcan, wondering whats coming next
KibaTheWhiteWolf Demina his eye's close as his mind races, his memories and understanding of all that has happened... His mind coming to the relizations of their history in this world...
Tabby1 Tigerpaw flicks her tail up and looks away from Midnight
Jaide Nightfire wonders what the hell is going on.
Nardia Bashly looks between them all...leaning on Eden wondering who will speak next...
Eden Hendrassen wraps his arm around Nardia's waist... still stareing from his Ulfric to Vulcan and back.
Vulcan Dagger extends his wrists foward
KibaTheWhiteWolf Demina his voice tries a moment to speak but his voice falls silent as he
looks to Nyxx and then back to Vulcan... "Fate as it were, has rolled the dice and as I walk
this path I know the truth and essence of what must follow..." Looking to the pack, "Take him to the prison beneath the stairs..."
Gwendalyn Darkstone mouth drops
Wolfigang Wycliffe: Sir. If you would come with me. (Looks to Titannia.)
Nerissa Dae 's fingers tightens together as she looks up at her father and Kiba.
Titannia MacMoragh looks at the Dark Lord. Nods at Wolf. "This way."
Gwendalyn Darkstone moves back, too confused to think, she looks up at Justin
Nardia Bashly follows silently....
Justinian Diavolo glances down at Gwen, his eyes blank but those that know him....see a
light look of bewilderment in the corners.
Xanatos Skytower wonders what trick will follow.
Nerissa Dae shakes before she takes a step forward. Forcing herself to follow behind them.
Lorie Nitely watches Vulcan being put in the cell than shivers as she remembers being put in his, she looks down than walks back to where everyone else is.
Titannia MacMoragh looks at Vulcan. Her eyes are confused but she wills her face into a mask that shows nothing as she Puts the restraints on him. Watching warily, but thinking the Dark Lord would not need to lure her close th do somethnga suprising.
Xanatos Skytower looks at Gwen and giggles. "Nice cloak Gwen"
Titannia MacMoragh: *to do somthing suprising*
Lorie Nitely steps behind Jaide as she leans against him in confusion
Gwendalyn Darkstone smiles softly, but looks to Vulcan in the cage, something in her memory stirring but she cant find it, as if it has been erased, but its lingering on the edge of her memory...
Titannia MacMoragh steps back. "Will this hold him?"
Wolfigang Wycliffe backs his captain up, making sure there ARE no surprises. He double checks the locks from a different perspective to be sure the demon lord cannot escape.
KibaTheWhiteWolf Demina: It will...
KibaTheWhiteWolf Demina throws a face mask to Titannia...
Titannia MacMoragh nods, assuming the Ulfric knows what he speaks of.
Titannia MacMoragh looks at the mask. "For him? " Questions the Ulfric*
KibaTheWhiteWolf Demina his face emotionless, "For him." He replies in a low tone...
Titannia MacMoragh nods, she goes forward and looks at the Dark Lord, as usual, she avoids
his eyes as she slips the mask on his face.
Nerissa Dae pushes through so she can see Vulcan, not saying a word since she'd arrived, all she can do is watch what happens.
Nyxx Jigsaw looks at Nerissa wondering how she is handling seeing her father like this.
Titannia MacMoragh shudders slightly, the palpable aura of menace around the Dark Lord still there, despite his current position.
Vulcan Dagger exhales slowly through the restraints of the face mask that binds his jaw together
KibaTheWhiteWolf Demina: "For all those that doubted my love and my allegiance to my
family... I hope now, you haven't a second thought on the matter..." He turns to them his eyes seeming to peer into the minds of each of them... Turning back to Vulcan... "So it is upon me to assume the throne..."
Gwendalyn Darkstone wraps her arms around her, shuddering, something she finds somewhat wrong about this, something she doesnt quite like, but she trusts her nimer-Raj to know what to do and remains silent, her eyes fixed on the dark lord
Titannia MacMoragh's voice sounds somewhat hollow as she asks: "What....are we going to do with him?"
Justinian Diavolo speaks in a loud voice, the chill of the grave thick
on the air. "We will respect him above all else"
Keljar Cosmos wonders what throne Kiba is talking about assuming. He doesn't like what he is seeing as one tyrant's reign ends, does the Perigord alpha expect to take his place.
Gwendalyn Darkstone looks to Justin, then back to Vulcan, her arms still wrapped around her, still trying to remember sometihng that is just out of reach..
Gwendalyn Darkstone: ....
Titannia MacMoragh nods at Justinian's words. Whatever else Vulcan has been, respect is something he has always been due.
KibaTheWhiteWolf Demina places a hand to Titannia's shoulder... "Our struggle for survival has given us newfound heights..." He turns to look at the others in the pack... Kneeling before them... "I leave the acceptance of this bearing to you all... As when the time was dior I asked this family for their approval of me... Again I ask you now, Will you accept the leadership of Nyxx and I here and now?"
KibaTheWhiteWolf Demina bows his head to his family....
Nardia Bashly grips Eden's hand and looks at her Ulfric ''Always.''
Jaide Nightfire: ABSOLUTELY. I never had a doubt
Lorie Nitely peeks around Jaide as she says softly, "always, you are our Ulfric and Lupa"
Titannia MacMoragh looks from one brother to the other, only now, bereft of rainments and artifice can she see they do infact look so much like brothers. She turns her face to the Ulfric and does not hesitate: "Of course Ulfric, always."
Gwendalyn Darkstone looks to Kiba, and nods gently "My Nimer-Raj...that will never
change..." she then goes very quiet, looking to the others briefly
Wolfigang Wycliffe: Kiba, I have been Ronin long enough. I have sworn to you as you are my Daimyo. This I never did lightly. My swords are yours to command and my life is in your hands.
Eden Hendrassen nods "Always Ulfric..."
Vulcan Dagger: "Everything Is Proceeding As I Have Forseen."
Nerissa Dae 's arms fall to her side and creeps forward, just having eyes for her father's bound form. Her head turns but she looks straight ahead as she walks, making sure she doesn't touch any in passing.
Gwendalyn Darkstone looks to Kiba, this overwhelming feeling she should go and sit by him,
ask him to accept her words, to show her alliegance to him and her Nimer-Ra, but she remains still unsure if she should
Justinian Diavolo stands, his eyes locked on the wall behind which Vulcan is confined. He listens to the words that the pack speaks. What thoughts pass through his mind are unreadable. His eyes narrow slightly at the words of the ulfric as if he is in thought.
KibaTheWhiteWolf Demina places his hand upon his right knee and liftshimself off the ground as his eye's fill with emotion, a single tear drips from his cheek..
Titannia MacMoragh stops forward, goes to her knees, looks into the eyesof her Ulfric as she raises her head slightly, tilting back and exposing her neck in a wolf's guesture
Justinian Diavolo speaks his voice cold and even..."do you say that it is our choice if you accept the command of the city as offered by Vulcan's surrender?"
Titannia MacMoragh: to an Ulfric
Xanatos Skytower stands looking on that what is unfolding totally bewildered. Can this be the Vulcan that ordered her torture. Ran this city with all fearing him surely not. Her head shakes slightly showing her thoughts.
KibaTheWhiteWolf Demina looks to Justinian and nods his head, "Yes, The people must always have the choice of who they wish to lead... It was always the perigord way..."
Gwendalyn Darkstone moves foreward a step, but then she stops, looking to her Nimer-Raj then Nimer-Ra, then moves all the way foreward she kneels before her Nimer-Raj, her head down, hand up to him, keeping herself below him as he is her King
Justinian Diavolo listens to the words the Ulfric speaks and contemplates the dark and difficult possibilities this future holds. He nods his head slowly.
Titannia MacMoragh rises smoothly back to her feet with a nod to the Ulfric.
KibaTheWhiteWolf Demina: This city was always to become yours... We have been tortured, killed, beaten, enslaved, and ruthlessly broken down until the brink of our existence...
Jaide Nightfire is way totally confused as to why vulcan would allow himself to be locked up rather than jut leave town if his time had come. And if his time has come well that blows.
Gwendalyn Darkstone kneels there, keeping herself there, listening, her head rising to look up at him
Eden Hendrassen 1 eyes 3
Vulcan Dagger watches silently
Wolfigang Wycliffe: He would not just leave town. Abandoning it like a rat leaving a sinking ship. If his time was done, then this was innevitable.
Wolfigang Wycliffe: To just leave like a thief in the night would bring dishonor on everything he stood for.
Vulcan Dagger flexes his hands slowly, straining the bindings slightly as his balefire eyes shift slowly from one being to the next, listening to the events
Titannia MacMoragh: Invevitable....*her eyes harden*.... so do we end it? *looks over at Vulcan again, then back to her Ulfric* "Do we end...him? Not vengeance, Ulfric...don't misunderstand me...but this...*nods at the prison*...is Elba, before they had the sense to kill Napoleon.
Justinian Diavolo moves forward so that he is in clear view of the dread lord. His head and eyes slowly shift so that he looks the Demon in the face. his eyes narrow as he slowly inclines his head forward as if in concentration. Inky darkness swirls within the whites of his eyes and dark Vapour begins to form with every exhalation......
Justinian Diavolo speaks...."This one is mine to determin his fate....and Gaia has said....it is not his time"
KibaTheWhiteWolf Demina: "I know not what else to say" His voice falls silent as he looks to each of them...
Titannia MacMoragh nods and steps back, accepting the Freki's word on the matter.
Wolfigang Wycliffe: Hati, this place must be guarded at all times from now until we DO decide what to do with him.
Gwendalyn Darkstone looks to Justin, then to vulcan, something in her eyes not quite readable, then she shifts back on her heels away from her nimer-Raj to stand, and wraps her arms about her once more, hugging herself
Titannia MacMoragh: Agreed.
Vulcan Dagger allows his eyes to widen animalistically with a wild intensity for a brief moment before narrowing them into sinister slits of focus as he remains silent. His looming frame held in place by the multiple bindings as with his gaze staring ahead
Nerissa Dae 's head turns as she casts her gaze over her shoulder to look at those behind her and then turns to look the other way at Kiba.
Justinian Diavolo looks past the Ulfric to stare unblinkingly at the dark lord.
Titannia MacMoragh mutters again "Elba....." and shakes her head slightly, watching the Dark Lord's eyes.
Wolfigang Wycliffe: Ulfric, other matters require my attention. I would take my leave now.
KibaTheWhiteWolf Demina: Go in luna's loving embrace...
Wolfigang Wycliffe turns towards the cell and regards the being within. Showing an incredible ammount of respect, bows to him, a prisoner.
Vulcan Dagger inclines his head foward, the chains clanking in the darkness
KibaTheWhiteWolf Demina extends the spear and presses the button to withdraw the blades... The sound of their cold metal scraping against the hilt as each blade slides in... "Only by the choice of perigord shall I remain in a position of power... And should I become unfit for this task, it will be perigord's to unseat me..."
Wolfigang Wycliffe (In Lycan): gr seg ah growl raha r-ro gr g roaha grr-snort chur gro gro a dc khse ra talib r-ro ahinbus grr-snort arrgrll roaha
Justinian Diavolo shifts his stance watching the dread lord with unwavering gaze.
Jaide Nightfire (In Lycan): kel kel raha llww raaaah gr ah raaaah
Rio D.(Digi Pera) mummbles something about a soul..
Phillippa Parx walks carefull and silently and glances at where Vulcan stands. She takes a mental picture of the moment.
KibaTheWhiteWolf Demina: I desire, not power, but for this family to survive...
Justinian Diavolo turns his head and speaks, answering the comment..."not this night, little one"
Vulcan Dagger: " Its not about Power . . Its about Sending a Message. " - Vulcan Dagger
Nyxx Jigsaw stands with her arms relaxed at her side watching the interaction not showing her thoughts on her face.
Rio D.(Digi Pera) crosses and sighs, her lips curled into a frown. "Fine.."
KibaTheWhiteWolf Demina Inhales slowly, "And as such I will accept the rule of the city... So long as you believe me fit for the title...
Gwendalyn Darkstone her eyes fall on Vulcan and seeing him like that makes her feel so small, if someone with this much power has given up, then what about the little guys... something dark passes over her eyes and she simply stands there, either in thought or just not willing to show what she feels
Titannia MacMoragh: Nerissa....Did you know this was what your father was coming here for?
Nerissa Dae keeps her back to them as she remains seated on the ground, a small spot of cold, where she watches her father.
Jaide Nightfire suddenly realizes what's happening. ((duh)) He looks to the Ulfric and nods with a slight grin.
KibaTheWhiteWolf Demina: "I must rest, this night has taken more out of me than I expected..."
Titannia MacMoragh: Good night Ulfric
Nardia Bashly nods...''Sleep Well Father..''
Vulcan Dagger watches silently
Eden Hendrassen: Rest well Ulfric...
Gwendalyn Darkstone nods, hearing her nimer-Raj speak, but she doesnt take her eyes from the Dark lord
Justinian Diavolo says nothing but continues to observe Vulcan
KibaTheWhiteWolf Demina: "Please come and sit with me..."
Phillippa Parx turns to follow the Ulfric.
Nardia Bashly glances at Vulcan silently before moving back to follow.
Rio D.(Digi Pera) approaches the Freki, standing at his side she removed her glasses. Her dark eyes fell on the small cold demon then raised to Vulcan
Ghostdogg Torok rests his head on Rios shoulder
Vulcan Dagger raises his chin, looking at Justinian
Titannia MacMoragh notes that the Freki is at the cell.
Gwendalyn Darkstone steps foreward, the sound of the long cloak on the ground as she stands on the other side of Justin, her eyes on the Demon lord, but her eyes do not betray what she feels
Justinian Diavolo steps slowly forward as the pack follows the Ulfric. He narrows his usually unexpressive eyes and vulcan sees within them suspicion and disbelief as if he knows something is not right. He says nothing
Rio D.(Digi Pera) reaches her hand to Doggs head and pats him gently on the head, her eyes still on the demon
Jaide Nightfire growls softly to J
Ghostdogg Torok walks away from the demon lord the stench sufficating his senses
Jaide Nightfire (In Lycan): raha arrgrll grrl jurak
Jaide Nightfire: this doesn't feel right
Vulcan Dagger flexes his fingers in and out slowly, his jaw restrained and sealed closed by the powerful mask . The muscled bulk of his arms and legs binded by the infernal chains that rattle and clank with every small movement of his body
Rio D.(Digi Pera) drums her fingers on her chin. "Who would have thought...I still can't believe what i'm seeing.."
Nerissa Dae listens to the steps come closer and she barely turns her head to look at the legs, not even bothering to lift her head off her arms to look at the lycans standing a few meters from her.
Jaide Nightfire hears his Ulfric calling but still can't fully believe vulcan's in chains in the cell. He looks back at the cell then turns to go over to Kiba
Gwendalyn Darkstone lets her eyes drift up to justin, and then she turns, her eyes once more giving Vulcan a small glance, her eyes giving him all that he needs to know, that even chained, she respects him, for what he did for her in the past, though she cannot seem to remember it all..and turns going to join her pack
Jaide Nightfire (In Lycan): grrl al growl
Jaide Nightfire: I'll be close
Justinian Diavolo points at the youg female demon at the feet of the dark lord. He speaks and when he does those present notice a slight change in the tone...."Please see the young one has all she needs to be comfortable. She is to be allowed to stay with him if she so desires. She is under my protection while she is here"
Jaide Nightfire nods to J
Justinian Diavolo motions to the pack..."Ulfric calls....come"
Justinian Diavolo turns and walks toward the throne
Rio D.(Digi Pera) frowns then leaves the two Demons alone
