Dust and Memories....

Running. From one end of the city to the other. Its one way to keep fit and by golly, before midnight, she was ready to collapse into exhaustion at her father's feet. To curl up and just pass out.

The morning brings the light through the window slates, just barely turned to let it through into the room, her body sprawled yet twisted sideways on her bed and staring sleepily at the dust motes dancing in the sunbeams. A smile touches the demon's lips for some reason, a memory of doing this when she was still a faeish child, watching them dip and dance about in the warm beams that she'd sit in as the light come through her window, trying to warm up in the orphanage's large bedroom she'd shared with other girls around her age when she was a child..Nerissa sighs and turns away, the silver mane covering her face spreading out in a fan over her covers as she lays onto her back.

It leaves her feeling the life as it shifts and she lies there, just experiencing it in awe, the quickening. Wondering. Scared..yes..she was very scared. So deep in thought on this new experience she jumps as suddenly her music box begins to play, reacting to her worries instantly. The large shiny black eyes glisten when they turn to the box carved of bone and smiles for a moment until it reminds her of last night's occurrences...the blazing building and the frantic screaming of Moni when she thought her son was inside.

The damn Alley cats..if they had only just kept minding their own business and not gotten stupid again. Not tried to put her uncle into a meat grinder..none of it would of happened. The battle wouldn't of torn through the street, the Alley Queen wouldn't of been captured and taken to one of the planes of Hell to teach her a lesson for her treachery.....Father wouldn't of set explosives on the building and told Moni her baby was still inside to put fear into her for their mistakes...

The demon sighs and covers her eyes to try and block it out as tears streamed down her face and the then the bed shifts, her body leaning towards a heavy weight on her right before heat surrounds her as she's scooped up into a set of powerful arms and held tight. She didn't need to open her eyes to know the heady scent of her father holding her and she buries her wet face into his chest as his large clawed hand strokes down between her tiny wings soothingly, holding her tight to his chest to ease her back into sleep once more, right in his arms.

Cold Mornings

The small body tucks itself as best it can in the crook of some limbs, nestled high up in the withered tree set in the dead center of a cemetery to look out across the high fence and streets of the quiet city that morning in thought. The long tapering tail coiling itself around the fat limb itself helped stable the small demon as she rested, lost herself in melancholy thoughts of loneliness once again. Why had no one called. No one tried to contact to her to see how she was? To see if she was okay? It seemed like the only one's that did care were Mei,Venom, Soy and Taz. And her father and mum...

She lets her head rest back against the rough splintery bark of the tree behind her tiny wings, the wood digging in a little each time she happened to squirm around. It was getting uncomfortable for her more and more the further she got, her body growing ripe and soon she'd pop. Fear actually gripped her that moment as she dwelled on the thoughts of when the day is coming. All those years she swore it'd never happen. She fought it tooth and nail, denying them that privalege...but this time, she didn't stop it. She had stopped the potion she had asked Hadyn so long ago to prepare for her and now she only waits for the day that something new will be born...

But why?...Why has no one asked how she is when she's not been in the city? Where are all that had said they are her friends and gone on about saying they'd be there for her?..the little demon sighs and the glossy black orbs drops down to the tombs and head pieces around her, listening to the whisperings of the dead speak to her and try to soothe the demon childe. But she found no comfort this morning in their words, for once wanting to hear a breath from the living talking to her.

Someone more then just her father's company. Or her mother's kind, soft body holding her too late too little. Though she found comfort in her new found mother's arms, she hardly new her birth mother. She hardly knows herself anymore..who she is..what she is..

From her thoughts, movement catches her eyes, she turns her head and casts her gaze towards the street and courthouse again to see lycans wandering around the court yard casually and sighs, pulling the hair down over her head to hide the blinding white threads of her mane so they don't spot her moving about so early in their hunt and just curls up within the canopy of branches to nap and wait for her parents to wake up while the city of Obsidian, her new home, wakes up slowly.

Alone...

She stands on the doorsteps of the shop as the wind tugs the silver threads across her face, tangling the black lace at her throat, sometimes kicked up to catch at a curl of one of the black horns that shines. Sighing, she looks back behind her at the portal, her skin broken with goosebumps. It gave Nerissa the willies and her stomach was twisted terribly that she always felt ill now when around the shop.

Finally, after two long days of hard work, she got her charms back into place, the only one not broken was the one she carefully set at her stomach. The seal pulsed with a life its on even as the life within shifted and twisted every now and then against the tight flesh held behind her corset. This was the last day she was going to be able to visit the shop after sunday's meeting.

The sudden appearance of the ShadowMan dropping into the circle while they held their meeting led to a panic. She had such a hard time getting to her hooved feet even as she could hear Calleigh and Athan screaming for her to run and get out of the building when she could feel something in the air happening behind her. Hackles risen, she was dizzy and tripped at the end of the stairs, slamming into the wall as she felt suddenly weakened. It took a manual beating of her own horned head into her horned head into the wall to clear it and a sudden spoken spell to block what was happening and then Neri was racing through the back room and through the ward to escape through the shop as she heard her Family upstairs screaming and shouting at what could only of been Quiet at one time and then she's out.

On the beach she went and there she stood, blood dripping down her pale face as she stared at the voodoo shoppe with large glistening black orbs, trembling as she held herself and crying harshly. For once in her life she didn't know what to do. She was in a panic and she didn't know what to do or where to go. The one place she thought safe no longer could offer her haven as something ominous seemed to come from there, later this morning it proved to be some artifact now stood in our pentagram and she no longer could enter the shop.

Today was the last day Neri was able to enter Toxia and she was going to miss what little friends she had...there was no one there for her to say goodbye too. So she turned and without a word passed through the thin veil to travel the shadow lands to go be with her mother and father.

Nikki (Dimitri Matova) snorts *Let me tell you ... I would never get here if she tried to continue the usual
...*

Nerissa Dae looms over Nikki with her cold presense baring down on hir.

Nikki (Dimitri Matova) looked over hir shoulders, faded for a second to merge behind neri with hir gun drawn


Athan Petrov grins "Oh look, troubles back"

Nerissa Dae growls at the man standing near the stairs, baring the needle like teeth covered in black ichor at him. "And who are you, cur?" She snarls with menace, not even bothering to pay mind now to Nikki with hir drawn gun.

Nikki (Dimitri Matova) aims hir gun at the shadows neck *Au contré... Who are you...?*

Athan Petrov laughs "You should know, you took my soul"

Something around the small dark demon shifts and shadowy limbs strikes Nikki's weapons away from her back. "It is me you little fool! Your fuckin' elder! Draw guns on me again and I will render you in two!" She snarls at Nikki as she turns at the waist to look down at her with cold eyes.

Nikki (Dimitri Matova) lowers hir gun slowly and snarls *Yea sorry, but lately something have disturbed my sensing, hence a bionic shortcircuited eye as well as recent events.*

Nerissa Dae waits little to return her attention back to Athan though and laughs. "Ah...You look different then the furry ass snot you usually are. Do you wish your soul back now?" She asks touching the glowing crystal at her hip, the pulsing of life felt by any that is sensitive to such things.

Athan Petrov: Not like i'd have a use for it...If you hadn't noticed my remains in the corner, i'm dead...

Nerissa Dae snorts through her nose, the childish features hidden behind the mask, the dark skin giving nothing away of what once way the quiet gentle demon of before. "Always getting into trouble, cur. Serves ya right it does." She cackles and grasps the crystal from her hip, breaking whatever it was that held it to her body. "Then you've no choice but to be what ya was once before and no longer my cousin but my brother." She tells Athan as ichor drops from her chin.

Athan Petrov steps closer, his eyes narrowed at Neri "What are you talking about and what has made you start acting like this?"

Elroy Brouwer mews "Hyies.."

Nikki (Dimitri Matova) waves to El

Nerissa Dae turns and heads for the corpse as she starts uttering words of a demonic origin, something never before heard from the young demon's lips as she advances on Athan's dead body. The crystal begins to glow, the shadows shifting around her as they start to begin pulling in towards her small dark form even as the room grows colder. "You'd best hope father never finds out about this, Athan..." She growls with anger staining her incantion as she starts to instill demonic energy into the soul within the crystal, contaminating Athan's spirit she had torn from his body days earlier.

Nikki (Dimitri Matova) slowly withdrew as shi was dragged along with the taking of the shadows while shi snorted a couple of times

Elroy Brouwer raises an eyebrow looking between th three of them "Uhm.. what is going on here?"

Athan Petrov steps forward again "Wh...What are you doing?"

Nikki (Dimitri Matova) looks to El *She's raising Athan it seems... and I am not going near... That's certain death for the likes of me...*

Elroy Brouwer looks to Nikki "Ain't that good?"she asks hir.

Nikki (Dimitri Matova) waves El over *It's good for the Coven, but when Neri starts playing, I hide... She's my dimentral opposition right now, and I am not risking death unless it's needed...*

Elroy Brouwer nods slowly as she turns to look at Neri but keeps quiet not wanting to disturb her.

Athan Petrov sighs "Might be good but i'll become..." he stops before finishing his sentence

Elroy Brouwer looks up to Athan waiting for him to finish his sentence.

Nerissa Dae ignores the chatter as her words twists almost obscenely, the crystal turning dark in her hand. She holds her small taloned hand over it and something is pulled free of it, what was pale and gauzy pale, Athan's soul comes out now twisted and dark with red threads enterlaced within the filaments, drawing her hand back to pull it free of its vessel to return it to the corpses' body once more. She grins, knowing full well that the pain that this will bring him is going to be a joy to watch for her and she goes to stoop over him, shoving her hand into his chest cavity once more as if its nothing more then water to implant it where it once was housed, continuing the demonic binding that will put it back and make him once more a demon again. It doesn't stop there though. She pulls her arm out, leaving behind crystals of frost on his clothing and fur, and reaches for his muzzle to pry open so she can get his mouth open before she jerks out a knife and slices open her own wrist, spilling her own unique blood the dead lycan's mawl to obliderate all that he was and make him reborn into her brother and the blood line of a Dagger.

Nikki (Dimitri Matova) paced a bit near the ward while shi kept a close eye on the ceremony ((Litterally one eye)) while shi bared hir fangs faintly

Elroy Brouwer eyes widen as she looks at Neri performing some kind of ritual she has never seen before.

Nerissa Dae 's shoulders begin to shake before it comes out that she's laughing cruely. She pushes herself to her feet slowly, the pregnancy making her slow still, the dark twisted demon stepping away to let the change take effect now as if she's just going to enjoy some movie on the telie over his head while slapping her hands together gleefully. "This is going to be so fun!"

Nikki (Dimitri Matova) narrowed hir eye as if to prepare to countereffect an areaspell towards hir while shi paced around

The wards do not respond to the menacing ways of what has happened. There is no true violence. Athan was already dead. The twisted demon that is Nerissa bringing him back to life even though through a terrible manner. Now, as if sensing the way people are reacting to her, Neri turns and snarls at Nikki, "Would ya rather he remain dead!?" she snaps viciously as the shadows dance under her skirt to hide what appears to be a pale face peaking out from under it.

Nikki (Dimitri Matova) responded faintly *No of course not... Please do continue...* shi started to relax more, yet still shi remained observant

Elroy Brouwer just stares in Karens eyes as she listens to what is happening behind her.

Nerissa Dae lifts her chin "Is that the one that has been annoyin' the shop?" she snarls quietly as the black ichor spills down her chin.

Nikki (Dimitri Matova) nods *If that's how you wish to put it Elder...*

Nerissa Dae snorts and turns away. "She has been told to come back after she's been in the city for a few days." The demon turns back to Athan's corspe, patiently waiting.

Persephone Rhode blinks up at the creature in front of her, meekly "Hello"

Nikki (Dimitri Matova) turns to walk out to the front *I am right back...*

Elroy Brouwer keeps silent watching Neri and Athans body wondering what will happen.

Athan Petrov 's host suddenly falls to the ground with force like an empty shell seconds after his chest moves out as if something was pulled from the body. The head and torso in the corner of the room slowly move together, the tendons, flesh and ligaments that previously connected the two that were torn in the attack rebuilding to connect the head and torso together, the tendons and flesh moving along the ground as if crawling to close the gap between the two body parts before finally completing the reconstruction of most of his neck and shoulders. The bones stretch with a hideous noise that echoes in the room to recreate the bones that were broken or completely removed from the attack while his head changes shape, the muzzle seeming to be pushed back into his skull as his shadowy eyes flash open and screams of agony and pain from the change leave his mouth. His arms and legs doing a similar thing as his neck did and more cracking, squelching and flesh tearing as the rest of his body begins to rebuild itself and change back into the form he held before the wolf incident, his hands become smaller, though still clawed and his legs straighten completely to a more natural angle and pose. More screams escape his mouth during the change, the fur falling completely off the remains and more cracks follow as his ribcage shifts back into a more human position, previously pushed outwards by the change into the wolf.

Persephone Rhode stares at the winged being

Nikki (Dimitri Matova) looked to Soap while shi paced around *Can I help...?*

Persephone Rhode peeks into the door of the shop

Elroy Brouwer looks horrified by what she sees happening to Athans body, her feet feel like there melted to the ground making her unable to move an inch, her eyes almost popping out of her skull, chin hanging on her chest as she mouth makes an big *O* but no sounds coming out.

There a squeal of delight from the small dark clad figure, the tail jerking about as the shadows swirl around in a crazy dervish. Neri seems estatic to see her results come out so beautiful, her third creation to bring to the family. The young demon herself growls low and continues to watch with a grin that twists her lips as she waits to see what she's created as Athan comes back to life while she takes a step away to protect herself perhaps, tail jerking side to side while she sets the soul shard back to her skirt's belts.

Persephone Rhode sniffs, walks back outside

Nerissa Dae turns her head and sees a stark of white shimmer through the wards of the doorway. There's a growl from the young demon and she shifts, moving towards it to see who's within the shop itself personally, without entering it or addressing just yet.

Nerissa Dae turns and casts her black eyes over her shoulder. "El. Who is this male in our shop? " She hisses quietly to the covenite.

Elroy Brouwer stares at Athan as he comes to life, feeling somewhat happy though not sure if she should be, as she turns to Neri shaking her head "I have no idea Neri."

Soap Clawtooth turned his head toward what sniffed to him like a mutant and gave a smile whiel browsing the various thrift that the store had to offer. He had never been a protagonist of voodoo, but the religion had been good for some natural remedies to problems and so it was never outside of his purview to consider voodoo as a solution to problems. 'I am looking for a natural remedy,' he relplied, his tone soft and calm. 'For dimentia,' he added and smiled again.

Nikki (Dimitri Matova) nodded slowly while shi paced around, seemingly in a deeper thought about the request mentioned by the angel before hir *Hmm... Let me check that, since I am no droid...*

Persephone Rhode shuffles the tarot deck

Soap Clawtooth smiled and and waited, noting the shark's tail of the mutant and a look of mild concern growing on his face. A mutation naturally? He wondered, or Dagon's handy work. His eyes flicked to the beaded curtain and he noticed people in the back, coven members, most likely, but paid it little heed.

Nerissa Dae watches the blue skin male in the shop and finally turns away as if bored with it to return her attention to Athan again, a severely twisted grin displayed to show the needle like teeth. "Father will be so proud of me." She watches for a moment longer her newly created brother and nods. "Shows over Kitten. But safe?...." She utters a strange chuckle and turns again, heading to the warded doorway. [[repost and changed for Athan.]]

Katana Mayako slowly eases his way inside after some thought and with a lost look on his face, crouches down pulling out a map of what seems to be a forest, looking it over again


Persephone Rhode looks at the creature in front of her "Hi"

Katana Mayako looks up out of his thoughts looking around confused

Persephone Rhode thumbs through a book of spells, while mumbling under her breath

Katana Mayako: ...hi?....

Athan Petrov screams again, climbing onto his knees as he continues to change, shadows begin to appear from his back, forcing their way through his flesh to create tentacles on his back, his tail appears once again as he kneels there and now holds his head as new horns force their way out from his skull

Soap Clawtooth raised his eyebrows at the scream that issued from the rear of the shop. 'Sounds like someone needs an 'oliday,' he muttered to nobody in particular.

Nerissa Dae wanders back into the shop, looking the two males standing and loitering, as she sees it. The sound of screaming seems to make her giggle unnaturally, the young demon smiling for a moment before she turns to address the most recent to arrive, the male to her left she's staring at. "Can I help you?" She says almost coldly as the air around her holds.

Katana Mayako mutters the greeting back at the next person walking in, standing up he folds his map up sloppily cramming it in his pocket and looks around paying more attention to his suroundings finally

Elroy Brouwer slowly walks over to Athan as she sees him change "Everything alright?" she asks him as she stops by his side.

Katana Mayako looks the being over slowly with uncertainty responding 'Is lost... lose mate, lose forest, and map have symbols on that Kat not know.....'

Katana Mayako sighs frustrated and goes on 'Where is Kat, what this place can tell ?

Soap Clawtooth drew on his cigarette and studied the woman before him. He sensed a demon but also sensed that something wasn't entirely right, either. He couldn't quite put his finger on it. His thoughts turned to the alchemic circle outside and then back to the goings on surrounding the fish Co and the Shadow Pit and mused to himself.

Nerissa Dae snorts rudely. "You are in the diseased city of Toxia. There is no forest here. All died long time ago when man got greedy and started dumpin' crap." She growls at him and lifts her chin. "Where is it you look for?"

Athan Petrov tries to climb to his feet and looks up to El, thinking the change was over, he growls as the tentacles on his back flail rapidly "What you fuckin' think?" he growls out before rushing to the door barely at his feet, knocking El out of the way before running through the ward, over the counter and disappearing through the door

Katana Mayako pulls his map back out looking at it again and shrugs pointing to a spot on it as he tips it to show you better. The place on the map seems to be of a forest that probably hasn't existed for centuries by now, and rather frustrated replies 'That is where must take mate.. they say.. but, Kat walk everywhere, over land, never find....'

Soap Clawtooth moved to the doorway and took the cigarette from between his lips, blowing the smoke outside. He looked to the dark demon next to him. 'I see you got one too,' he commented idly, placing the cigarette back in his mouth for another drag.

Elroy Brouwer growls at Athan as he pushes her aside and watches him run out, she turns around to look into the shop seeing several people standing there she moves over to the counter a little irritated "Hi.. anyone i can help, if not please leave."

Katana Mayako's attention wander to the counter slowly his eyes gazing over all the stuff around it and the person standing there 'Whatdo sell here?'

Nerissa Dae 's head turns a little as if aware that the one behind her moves closer to her, a low growl of warning issues before she erupts into another chortle as she watches Athan sprint through the door out into the streets. She turns back to look at the map then suddenly, rudely, snatches it from the stranger to look at it with a snarl as from her chin drips black ichor. "Of course we got one. The portals are every where." She growls, annoyed more by the comment made by the male behind her while she tries to make sense of the map before she snarls. "Where did you get this?"

Soap Clawtooth turned his head back to the woman who had entered. 'Well, a fine welcome for a shop,' he replied with a smile. 'I was just looking for a natural remedy for dimentia,' he said. 'A friend of mine was silly enough to go and touch Dagon's handy work by the old tank.' His tone was casual and nonthreatening, but his eyes keeps warding to the dark demon with the tentacles.

Soap Clawtooth raisd his eyebrows to the dark demon. 'Not everywhere,' he said. 'Only in....strategic locations, eh?' he nodded and grinned.

Elroy Brouwer looks irritated to Katana "If you don't know what we sell here, i say open youre eyes and look around."

Nerissa Dae thrusts an arm out to the counter. "There, kitten. In a drawer to the right." She growls and then looks up at the one before, the face hidden behind the death mask.

Katana Mayako shrugs his shoulders 'Kat no remember now... was too long finding it already...'

"We are a metaphysical bookstore. We sell herbs, potions and the likes. Remove curses. Spells and other thinks of that nature." Says the small demoness.

Elroy Brouwer shakes her head not wanting to deal with costumers at the moment and walks back into the room she came from.

Katana Mayako raises an eyebrow as he looks again, biting his lip a moment resisting the urge to sak, buten mumbles 'What is..book?'...

Soap Clawtooth's brow furrowed. 'Seems everyone's not entirely happy,' he began. 'Trouble at the inn?' he asked of the dark demon, still unable to quite place what was out of place.

Nerissa Dae thrusts the map back at the male infront of her and turns herself so that each stands on either side and not front and back to see them better while her tail jerks side to side viciously. "Can't rely on anyone in this place half the time." She snarls and goes to take care of the customer's order itself. "How badly is this dementia?" She asks in a cold manner.

Soap Clawtooth's eyes flicked toward the impatient demon. 'You tell me,' he muttered inaudibly and then spoke up to say. 'Nonsensicle, drunken appearance, doesn't really register people around her and rarely makes sense whens he speaks,' he said, lying about the sex of the one involved at least.

Katana Mayako approaches the counter looking everything over closely, his eyes widening as if he never saw anything of ths nature before, his large claw reaches out but resists the urge to touch anything. He turns his head to look at the other person, and catching the cool demeanor from him tries to mimic them and eases his shoulders uncomfortable bobboing his head, and with a nail starts to thumb through whatever book infront of him as if he knew EXACTLY what it was at least in his own mind blending in

Katana Mayako: Book, yess.. Kat like taste of purple one... *forces a pathetic smile*

Its hard to say if she scowls or frowns listening to the pale blue skinned one but she grows silent as she bends down to gather things from behind the counter and prepare something needed. "So this one touched the stuff growin' off the tank I take it." Neri states while she works, seemingly appearing as if she knows exactly what it is she's doing, she works quickly as she mixes up the ingredients right there infront of the winged male. It takes little time and then she dumps it all into the center of a sheet of vellum that she folds carefully into a packet, using nothing to seal it but carefully lipped into a seam itself tightly with cold fingers that frosts the paper itself once done. The masked face raises to look at him and she holds it out between two clasping taloned fingertips, " What do you trade for it or offer as payment?" She asks in a lifeless tone.

Soap Clawtooth grinned. Oh what a question, he thought to himself. He produced a stone of fair size from his breast pocket that he had been concocting over the last day, replicating a seal against Dagon's wickedness that a fellow Demon had been devising. He was not against....borrowing ideas occasionally. 'This,' he said, turning to place the stone on the counter. 'It's a ward against Dagon's influence and power,' he said. He then made a big display of looking around the shop. 'Place like this could do with it, you know. He seeks out places like this. Religions, magical orders, anything that resembles spirituality and worship not of him, really,' he explained casually, relaxed. 'Could be useful for ya.' He gave a nonchalant smile.

Nerissa Dae 's free hand lifts and the stone jerks off the counter into the small palm with a firm smack of impact, curiousity undoubtedly given over. She doesn't give over the potion just yet as she inspects the stone, getting a 'feel' of its properties while it seems the glistening eyes remain on the one at the door. "This store stands on a focal point of power. Like the Pit. I'm also one of the original gatherin's that happened to stop Dagon from entering the world the last time he was summoned...." She finally shrugs and snaps her wrist, tossing the packet at the man. "Here. Come back and explain further how it works and all debts paid off. " Speaks the cold encased demon.

Soap Clawtooth grinned. 'I'm smokin',' he replied. 'It's rude to smoke indoors.' In point of fact he just felt comfier by he door, meant that he could get away quicker. The boss wouldn't be too pleased to find that he had become a fishy mutant for a Lesser Failed Deity like Dagon. 'And yeah, I know about Dagon trying to come through last time,' he said. He decided to play ignorance on this one. He had been in Gaza the first time Dagon had appeared and in Innsmouth the second time. 'Fails every time, from what I hear,' he said. 'Though I'm sure he'll 'ave remembered you. He might be a failure, but he 'as a chip on 'is shoulder and 'is memory is long,' he replied. Looking down at the bag she had tossed to his feet. He looked back up at the demon and gave a knowing smile.

Nerissa Dae shrugs with indifference as she drops the stone into a compartment instead of pocketing it, as if she doesn't trust the guy herself. "Who knows. I was different then. As different as I was two days ago." She states then she tells him. "Drop it in orange juice. Not hot water or tea. Got it? They'll pass out for a few hours and sleep but when they'll wake up, they'll come back to their senses. The headache, just tell them to pop a couple of asprin."

Soap Clawtooth reached down and pulled the sleeve of his coat over his hand before grasping at the bag and then pocketing it. In light of all that was happening, tentacles on Demons came across as odd to him and didn't trust it at all. 'Cheers,' he said. He stepped forward and paused, looking over his shoulder at the strange demon. 'You'll fail, you know.' came the non sequitur. 'He'll fail. Just like last time, and the time before that,' he paused and made a show of musing. 'oh, and the time before that,' he grinned wickedly.

Nerissa Dae snorts as she begins to tidy up. Inspite the twisted manner of the small shadow figure, the demon still takes time to clean the mess up she created, saying to him without looking up. "We will do what we need to do to protect the Coven." she hisses without emotions, a hint of white wispy hairs peaking out under her hood shows against her lower jaw line when she leans down to close a draw. " No one knows the future for there's many branches. "

Soap Clawtooth grinned. Smart answer, he thought. For once. He turned back to the dark demon and shook his head. 'If you say so,' he said and gave her a knowing look. He said no more, however and exited. Just as with the Fish Co. and The Shadow Pit, it seemed to him that Dagon had already knocked on the door of the Voodoo shop and that someone had answered...

Nerissa Dae draws out from behind the counter to come around, though its the window she heads for and not the door, with a side glance towards the unknown male.

Monday, February 9, 2009

Carefully, Silver and Nerissa slips through the corridor that connects the hospital to the church, making their way to the back of the church itself after news of Athan being there...

Athan Petrov speaks up "You don't have a choice, you leave or I drag you out..."

SilverLeaf Zabaleta gauks at the alter, hugging the wall

Quiet Thunders giggles " you may

Teagan Exonar: t...thank..you. -a shiver crosses his spine as he backs out slowly, his eyes set on the dark one-

SilverLeaf Zabaleta creeps over toward AThan, a concerned expression on her face, but mezmerized by the red cloud

Teagan Exonar stops near the kind gent he met in the shop "I...er.. it didn't go that well." - he pauses- "I got everything noted down tho!" -nods rapidly and flips through his notebook proudly-

Nerissa Dae slips behind Athan, snagging him by his canine tail to keep him from going anywhere just yet while she looks around his shoulder towards the front of the church. "...And that's the blood that touched my taste buds..."

Joshy Larnia: ** I Walk Alone ** Vampire Slayer

Joshy Larnia: grr

Athan Petrov nods "Well get that pad to the shop...As I said, don't make me drag you"

Teagan Exonar: Y...yes sir..

Nerissa Dae lifts a free hand and smacks Athan against the back of the head. "What's up, once upon a couz."

Quiet Thunders slowly steps forward. soon little wispers are head though out the room. Never quiet loud enough to be heard by anyone as she starts walking directly towards Athan

Athan Petrov smirks and puts a thumb up "Loving the look"

SilverLeaf Zabaleta tries to step in front of Athan protectively


Nerissa Dae narrows her eyes and suddenly she lets go of the tail and wraps her arms around Athan's torso, jerking on him savagely. "Silver, help me. I don't know if I can fight him this time." The small demon uses all of her inhuman strength to bodily pull him away from Quiet.

Esso Brezoianu looks on unsure what to do at this point, a part of his wishes he left with the others

Quiet Thunders continues directly toward Athon stop a foot from him. " Good bye " then with wave of her paw he disapears

Athan Petrov prys Neris arms from around him "Look at it...What can it do, seri..." his sentence cut short as he disappears suddenly

Nerissa Dae drops all wards, the full darkness coming out of the small demon with a snarl towards what once was Quiet. "NO! " She growls, arms closing around air as the body disappears without warning.

SilverLeaf Zabaleta blinks a shiver coarsing through her whole body, "NO!" screams as she sees him dissapear and begins to lunge at the spectal entity in black, "STOP IT!"

Esso Brezoianu's jaw drops as the man dissappers before his eyes, he is completly speachless

Nerissa Dae bristles as the black eyes fill with hate. "You won't win. Ya didn't the last time and not this time. I was around then and I'm around now and fuckers are goin' back to where ya come from.." She hisses vehemently. Something dark snaps forward from Nerissa and engulfs Silver, pulling her towards her. "Come. We leave now!"

Quiet Thunders mearly stands looking at the pair " I could speed up your trip

Sari Neruda: and it would be cold of me to offer one out of the fridge i guess

Sari Neruda puts her PDA away "but after your drink i'm going to have to check out a note i just recieved, it would be rude to run after offering

Meili looked up at Tom and smiled warmly. "Colour green.." She repeated as she closed her eyes for a moment. "Colour green isn't among the standard settings, want to hear the list of active themes..?"

Sari Neruda nearly jumped out of her skin as she srambled for her mask, and threw it on quickly, panting a bit as she turned her faceless covering towards nerissa, blinking her golden amber eyes

Nerissa Dae slows down in her running, looking back behind her with hate filled eyes turned towards the church. She snarls and turns her face towards the group, moving slowly away as she keeps her front facing them, before she suddenly turns and hurries off again with well of coldness radiating off her.

SilverLeaf Zabaleta: "WHY DID you pul me away?

SilverLeaf Zabaleta body glows in flame, blackened you voice dark...... and hissing.

SilverLeaf Zabaleta: skin* her* jeez

Nerissa Dae 's turns her face towards her, the softness gone from her features. She bares her teeth and snarls at her. "They will not come into this world again. " She hisses lowly, all gentleness gone from the demon's voice.

SilverLeaf Zabaleta yells her in Neris face, "Where is he, what did that thing do to him? Who was that? WHAT was that ? what are you talkiung about?" rage raises, but he anguish fills her voice, tears filling her black eyes

From her back writhes darkness, shadows solid and deadly, dancing as viciously as the pale tail that slaps her gown around. She is short of pacing where she stands, Neri tense head to toe before she looks towards the shop. "That was a priest of Dagon..Athan's lost to them..I ..WE gotta find a way to get him back." She growls lowly within her anger.

Nerissa Dae pushes away suddenly and storms for the shop.

Calleigh Constantine smiles and nods quickly, but pauses, frowning as she sees something moving in the front. "Hold on.."

Teagan Exonar: Yes m'am

Nerissa Dae comes in and bellows, "CALLEIGH!!!" The small demon's voice carries every inch of the building enough to shake the foundation as she makes her way to the back.

Teagan Exonar quickly turns around eyeing her over

Calleigh Constantine quickly moves forawrd, rubbing her ears, "I hear ya... what's up?"

Nerissa Dae stops at the wards to the back room and looks up, growling low, the black eyes nothing but coldness. "We have a situation." She snarls while darkness dances around her like never seen before, the coldness bone chilling and deep seeking.

Calleigh Constantine frowns for a moment, peeking out to see Silver near by as well. She nods, stepping back, "In here, now and tell me all the details."

SilverLeaf Zabaleta glides through the door, as if flyingreen glowing glyphs on her black skin a, greenn fire surrounding her, her hair blows as if surrounded by wind, she moves to Neris back, stoping and watching .

Teagan Exonar whimpers and sinks to the floor, eyeing them both at the ward

Nerissa Dae looks past and spots the lycan. She snarls suddenly and points "You were there before he told you to go! What went on!?! " Asks the small demon as she bursts through the wards with it pulling at her body with a sudden pulsing warning of power.

Teagan Exonar whimpers "I...I was asked to investigate the chalice!" - he pauses a moment breathing- "And the dark one jumped me, i took the chance to ask while some idiot named.. what was it.. solis? drawnw eapons and stuff"

SilverLeaf Zabaleta face full of darkness, yet dead of expression, floats effortlessly through the door not speaking.

Nerissa Dae turns without warning to Calleigh and bares needle sharp teeth, black ichor covering them wetly as never seen before. "A priest took Athan from my arms." She snaps viciously as her tail jerks about wildly.

Calleigh Constantine looks between the two, apparently confused as she looks more directly to Nerissa, "Neri, tell me what is going on. Teagan was sent by me to look at the chalice but.." She turned her gaze towards the wolf again, "What dark one--" Stops stort, slowly looking back to Neri, "What."

SilverLeaf Zabaleta closes her eyes, the rage around her palpable, yet he flames die down somewhat, her feet float to the floor, she closes her eyes for a moment, her face still dead of expression. SHe watches the wolf on the ground with great care, moving toward him slightly and listening to Nerissa.

Teagan Exonar: It's in the report miss Calleigh"- he whimpers and hangs his ears- "t...they are the ones who dropped the chalice."

Calleigh Constantine's eyes flashed for a moment as she looked to the note pad again, pulling up a page as she reads through, pulling out a picture before looking to Nerissa. "Was this the being that took Athan?" She holds out a picture torwards her.

Nerissa Dae starts to pace now, the floor and walls coming away frosted where she touches and steps, her clothing stiffening as her body temperature drops drastically with the demon's wards all destroyed finally. She snarls and growls lowly as she had long ago in the beginning. "I don't know if Athan is a minion or not. I tried to bodily snatch him but that fuckin' priest come up and he just disappeared in my arms!" Her words grow silibant, hissing as her tongue breaks into multiple limbs, the shadows at her back jerking and dancing again. "I knew I shoulda just fuckin' took his soul when I had a chance!"

Teagan Exonar blinks seyeing the kind man infront of him again nearly falling back on his ass

Teagan Exonar: What the?!

Athan Petrov growls again "Third time lucky..."

Calleigh Constantine murmurs heading for the door not even noticing that Athan had appeared, "I'm going. I'll be back most likely."

SilverLeaf Zabaleta blinks as Athan reterns in thin air

Teagan Exonar: I...i think we should go together? -looks to the two ladies- "this is bad ju ju"

Nerissa Dae looks at the photo she'd been given and suddenly shreds it with a snarl, ichor dripping down her chin. "I'm gonna rip it apart! " she bellows, the foundation shaking as if it reacts to her anger.

SilverLeaf Zabaleta just stands there watching AThan leave like nothing happened, shock on her face

Athan Petrov sighs "Anyone do anything to stop the bitch sending me back here?"

Nerissa Dae snatches Silver's arm a little roughly and jerks her as she turns. "They will suffer." she growls lowly.

Nerissa Dae comes running back in fairly fast and tackles Athan without warning.

SilverLeaf Zabaleta steps back after huging Athan, her glypgs dieing down now, not glowing as much

Athan Petrov: Just keep getting...*goes flying forward hitting the floor* GAH!

SilverLeaf Zabaleta watches Neri and Athan fall to the floor

Athan Petrov: Sent...back here.

SilverLeaf Zabaleta lets out a huge sigh and plops down on one of the pillows

Nerissa Dae sits on Athan, cold and angry little demon staring down at him. "You still want to lose it?" She asks him.

SilverLeaf Zabaleta breaths a hge sigh, falling back on the floor and looking up at he cieling....

Athan Petrov: Lose what?

Darkness shifts and dances around her like madness, Neri's large black eyes almost lifeless now as the black ichor falls from her lips. "Your soul." She hisses as she shoves her face into his with a growl.
SilverLeaf Zabaleta puts her knees up, laying on the floor just shaking herhead, "We are so dead, we are so dead, we are SO FUCKING DEAD." she chants to herself, a creepy little whisper

Athan Petrov looks confused "Uh...Seems like I don't have a choice...What the hell is going on?"

Nerissa Dae bares her needle like teeth in a rage sudden and grasps his head like a vice, squeezing it. "You come to me after the meeting, asking for me to take it you fool!" She digs her talons into his scalp, all gentleness gone from her. "Have you forgotten? Do they have you!? ARE YOU A MINION OF DAGON!!!" She screams at Athan.

SilverLeaf Zabaleta gets up suddenly, "We are so fucking dead....." begining to walk up to Athan and Nerissa.... "You see a priest again you run, that goes for all of us." Her voice coarse from screaming, her shoulders suddenly slumped She moves toward the ward slowly.

SilverLeaf Zabaleta stops looking at Athan and waiting to hear the answer.

Athan Petrov yelps slightly and begins to struggle "Get the fuck off me Neri! No!"

SilverLeaf Zabaleta puts her palm on the wall, looking down at he floor and again beathing a sigh of relief. She moves outside the ward and into the street.

Athan Petrov grins but his face showing signs of pain "How would I know anyway, i've ended up here every time...She can't do shit other than send people back to where they stay"

Nerissa Dae doesn't let go, her knees gripping his body, hands clutching his head. The demon uses all her demon strength to hold onto him as she drips cold black ichor down on him. This is the demon that Vulcan created so long ago. The lost soul screaming at him. " You are going no where!" She laughs as she lets go of his head without warning and sets a hand to his chest while the other jerks back and slams into his chest cavitity without warning. "It is mine now!" She tells him and her hand seems to phase into his flesh to close around his spirit. His soul.

Athan Petrov gasps looking up at you, his eyes becoming lifeless "S..Stop! You cant ac..accuse when you're acting like...this!"

There is great pain in what she does, the soul gripped in her hand, the coldness of her touch inside his flesh expanding outward. Her wide eyes stare down at him as she takes from Athan his soul a second time in his life with a snarl. The shop's defenses suddenly react now to the violence and the wards flare up, sealing them inside the room. "You wanted it gone. I am doing you a favor." She snarls as she twists her wrist as fingers snare the filaments of his soul and jerks it from his body, silver threads connecting them before snapping.

SilverLeaf Zabaleta suddenly runs toward the back, "Nerissa Stop!!!" runing into the ward and geting spanked it hrowes her accros the room.

Athan Petrov sighs and looks into your eyes as he disappears again

SilverLeaf Zabaleta slams against the brick wall, sliding down, slumping to the floor.

Nerissa Dae grips the soul in her hand with gritted teeth, all sense of humanity gone from her. She looks over her shoulder back at the doorway towards Silver's body slumped down, no longer holding Athan as he disappears under her without warning. She slowly rises to her feet, casting to her free hand a crystal that's larger then the hand itself and lets it soak the soul into it until it glows with life of it own and makes her way towards the front of the shop and the ward slowly.

SilverLeaf Zabaleta coughs up blood, her breathing shallow from being smacked by the magic of the shop

Nerissa Dae moves through the ward as it tugs at her body, growling at the pain it causes her, the glyphs coming out sharply in base relief but finally comes to stand before the feline. With crystal in her hand still, she leans down and sets the other cold hand on her, forcing a healing onto her without warning before she turns and heads out the door, leaving her there as she disappears.

Wotan's Desire

Running. Always running. The demon covered more ground when she ran then walked, the small dainty hoofed feet carrying her much quicker. And when it comes to the alpha of the pack, running is the only way to catch the long legged lycan. Once she caught sight of him finally, she dug her footing in the snow covered street and busted her ass to catch him. In the end, she found him standing alone in the small rubble strewn battle arena.

Nerissa Dae calls out. "Hey! Wotan!"

Nerissa Dae crosses her arms before her and calls out again. "Yo! Wotan, ya free to talk now?"

Wotan Aeon looks over

Wotan Aeon: "Yeah ..Im free"

Wotan Aeon: "And i Just got spiked"

Nerissa Dae winces noticably but only asks. "Tell me more what ya want? And are ya /sure/ ya want it?"

Wotan Aeon: "Well.Im no expert..What are my options?"

Wotan Aeon: "THose things fucking HURT!!"

Nerissa Dae looks at the spikes keep jumping up out of the ground and turns back. "Ya do realize..that without one..yer gonna be...Cold and..well, more a monster then ya are already."

Wotan Aeon: "And whats the downside?"

"Ya go straight to hell after. No collect 200 dollars. No get outta jail card..." She looks up at him towering over her. "Especially if it becomes lost or destroyed where its been kept in.."

Wotan Aeon: :You mean i will no matter what? Or if i lose it?"

Nerissa Dae shifts and turns a little, casting her covered face towards the fence. She says, "There's ways to remove it and puttin' it in...whatever..once the vessel properly prepared. But iffin' that vessel should be stolen, it can be destroyed or used against ya. Its kinda like a voodoo doll, if they know what they're doin'."

Wotan Aeon: "THen all id have to do was get it somewhere safe?..Will i be able to put it back later if i wanted?"

Nerissa Dae gives a brisk little nod. "Yes..its not easy. No easier then puttin' one back inna demon. But it can be done."

Nerissa Dae sighs quietly. "But ya realize, once its removed, its gonna change ya. And ya think people wanna inflict harm on ya now, just think of what'll happen afterwards." She seems thoughtful, grown quiet.

Wotan Aeon: "Hmm..Well ..and what about recieving abilities with it?"

"And..it IS yer fault yer in the state ya are in now. Its yer own actions that caused it to begin with..and...doubtful. Unless ya know how to talk to the BoneGnasher..and..well...that'd be stupid. " She tells him quietly.

Wotan Aeon tilts his head "Doubtfull i can get abilities? and what is a bone-Gnasher?"

Nerissa Dae rocks on her heels as she tucks her arms behind her. "Its a demon..but for...bein's like you. He's not easy to call up. Might even be a myth. I read about him when I was still..alive."

Wotan Aeon: "Oh..So just a way to store it then?"

Nerissa Dae nods a little and draws her arms back before her and holds her hands out, a glowing purple crystal appearing larger then both cupping below. "This is what the Shadows use to use when we were swipin' souls...it can store them. But..ya can make a vessel to do transfer it to too. ..Crystals..Orbs..Dolls...even books. "

Wotan Aeon: "Interesting. SO i need to put it in there and then into something else? Like a chucky doll?"

Nerissa Dae laughs and lifts her hand up to muffle it. " Ya don't need the crystal if ya know how to contain a soul taken from a livin' body, without killin' its host..."

Wotan Aeon: "Hmm..So cold and more of a monster..You mean cold hearted? Or im going to be chilly?"

Nerissa Dae smiles behind the mask. "You'll just be more ruthless and uncarin'. Not cold..my coldness is due to something totally different. Not cuz I'm dead...cuz I'm not..and I got my soul back a long time ago."[

Wotan Aeon: "I see..Well what is the process like?"

"Naw..ya want powers or something..yer gonna have to do what all us others did. Learn the hard way." Nodding, Neri swings her arms as if growing bored. "Painful..." She answers.

Wotan Aeon: "Know anyone who i sgiving lessons for powers then?"

Nerissa Dae snorts and jerks her head to the shop. "Duh, we're teachers..but whether anyone's willin' to actually teach ya..Lotta suckin' up to do."

Wotan Aeon: "Suckin up huh? Where should i start for that?"

Nerissa Dae looks back behind her, eyeballing the pair there, and turns around to look at another behind Wotan. "That's up to you, boyo..that's up to you. "

Mta Nixdorf tilts head side side puzzling at the conversation itches his leg briefly for a moment

"But iffin' yer wantin' this done in secret, best do something about the red head that's been listenin' to us since I got here." Nerissa moves, turning to leave.

Wotan Aeon: "I came to you for help with this stuff. I suppose we could get my soul a safe place for now. Im not worried about her"

Wotan Aeon: "The most she can do is tell others WOtan is going to be a Souless monster..Doesnt sound like bad advertising to me"

Nerissa Dae chews at her lip a little. "That's the hard part. Findin' a safe place. In this city..not gonna happen. Ain't no where safe in this place. Not even the church."

Wotan Aeon: "Yeah..Ill take it far from here"

Nerissa Dae nods. "Good luck to ya big guy. Now, I gotta dead woman to go talk to and make sure the shop ain't torn up when she gets pissy for bein' woke up." With a playful sounding laugh of innocence, Nerissa takes off.

The Wrong Way to Wake up Mom

SilverLeaf Zabaleta taps Neri on the shoulder

Nerissa Dae turns to her and beams, " Up for a run, Silver?"

SilverLeaf Zabaleta asks, " A run to where?"

The small demon barks with a laugh and quips, "Follow!" before taking off down the street.

With a mad run through the streets, Neri and Silver weaving in and out of small groups of standing people and loitering others that might be about, finally brings the pair to the Voodoo Shop at a call's notice.

Nerissa Dae loves rolling right into the shop!

SilverLeaf Zabaleta bounds in the shop after Neri. The small dark skinned demoness nearly runs into one of the newest initiates of the Coven itself, Jaco's pale, taller form standing off to the left of the doorway when they came bounding in. Neri barely caught through the curtain to the back room Karen feeding on Elroy.

Deep back in her thoughts, Neri herself wondered how long it'd been since she'd taken time to eat, the memory of the rose petals still on her taste buds, having plucked one petal after another from the bloom to consume.

Jaco Guisse smiles, feeling the two come near, then feels Calleigh, "So.. what is this about..?"

Calleigh Constantine glances about as she nods towards the back, "Into the back.. I dont want word getting out too much about this Coven Field Trip."

SilverLeaf Zabaleta giggles and than waves at Cal

"Yer lucky I was already intown!" Neri tells Calleigh hyperly.

Elroy Brouwer walks into the front placing some shuvels at the counter "Take youre picks people.." she giggles.

Calleigh Constantine laughs, "I know if I ask you for help in dead bodies, you come running."

Karen Auebauch holds onto a few spades and rests against the wall

SilverLeaf Zabaleta looks at al the faces she doesn't recognize and the ones she does smiling

Calleigh Constantine: "Alright folks, we're going out and digging up a body. I need to do a potion for a Lich that came in to help lift a curse off of no just Seven but Flood as well. We'regoing to go the the cemetary, get the body, and get it back here asap."

SilverLeaf Zabaleta shivers, "A Lich? Holy Crap......"

Neri's thoughts fall one of her oldest friends of the city, wondering where Osoth had disappeared to after so long...Had it really been as long as it had been? She thinks hard and realizes the last time she'd seen him was when she was still a Shadow herself and silently sighs, realizing how much she missed the ancient lich that led her on the path of necromancy.

Jaco Guisse giggles quietly, "Fun family field trip, eh?"

Elroy Brouwer nods to Calleigh "We are up for it.."

Nerissa Dae makes sure she's covered properly before she drops her arms not to attention further to anything. "No worries. I can just talk it up outta the grave. Ya should know that."

Calleigh Constantine smirks and looks at Nerissa, "You're going to be talking to a woman hard header than me.." Coughs, "We're using my mother's body."

Karen Auebauch: As you know Calleigh I am more than willing to do anything to help Flood

SilverLeaf Zabaleta mumbles to herself, "Welcome back Silver gee sure is good to see you, ya thanks guys, lets go dig up a body, ok..."

Calleigh Constantine smirks, "Silver you should be used to this kinda stuff outta me at least.."

Jaco Guisse frowns, hearing the victim is related.. or was rather.. to Calleigh. "I sense bad kharma all over this.."

Nerissa Dae blinks and sighs as she nods with understanding. "No more shinanigans like last time though. Got me?"

Elroy Brouwer chuckles.

Calleigh Constantine nod nods, "I'm not trying to reanimate her, I'm trying to just get her corpse. Though it's all bones but thats perfect for what we need to do. Now.." She looks around, "HEre's the plan, Oracles, I want you to go out ahead of us and scout about the church, last thing we need is some Righteous getting all up in our asses about taking what is rightfully mine anyways."

SilverLeaf Zabaleta blinks, "Yeah, used to it, could say Hey before you ask me to unearth your mother, how ripe is she?"

Calleigh Constantine: "All bone by now. Kinda burned her to nearly no flesh she gave birth to me... or so what my father told me once."

Nerissa Dae 's covered face hides what she might be thinking, the black eyes glistening when she casts her gaze around slowly. "There's not much left but a body anyways. And Righteous can go to hell. I'm always pilferin' bones off the dead there."

Karen Auebauch intently listens to them talking as she wraps her arm around Elroy as it sides down her back and into her back pocket

SilverLeaf Zabaleta points her thumb over her shoulder, "You wants I'z should go now boss" doin her 'goodfellas" imitation

Elroy Brouwer eeps as her face turns all red watching her sisters.

Nerissa Dae looks quickly to Silver then to Karen. "Ya both keep yer eyes open though, ya hear?"

Calleigh Constantine grins, "Yes, Karen, Silver, go out and see, We'll hang out near the Hospital. Mystics and Neri, come with me. Watch that damn church, last thing I need is a fucking Righteous trying to call God's wrath down on us."

Karen Auebauch nods as she leans into Elroy "won't be to hard to keep them open with no eyelids to get in the way"

Elroy Brouwer nods slowly to Karen as she holds her breath.

SilverLeaf Zabaleta nods, making eye contact with everyone in the room and than walking out quietly

Karen Auebauch hugs Elroy and bows to the other and leaves

Nerissa Dae absently plays with her ruffled top while she tries not to pace.

Elroy Brouwer mews to Karen "Be carefull you two.."

Calleigh Constantine grins to Maykko and shoves a shovel into his hands. "Glad you could make it Maykko."

Maykko Ryba takes the shovel. "i better not regret this."

Nerissa Dae snickers. "Always."

Calleigh Constantine: "Worst comes to worst we're going to get scoulded by my mum... maybe Pix."

Jaco Guisse giggles, "Whats life without regrets? Boring.. that's what."

Maykko Ryba takes a mock swing at Neri's tookus and smiles mischievously

Nerissa Dae grunts softly and turns. "Lets head to the hospital..." She murmurs, tail lashing out towards Maykko viciously.

Elroy Brouwer smiles to Neri "Lead the way.."

As a group, albeit small, they leave the shop and begin to head towards the cemetary with Neri actually taking up the rear and Calleigh the front. Elroy kept close to Neri, always there to protect her when the demoness was out in public, and she can only smile her gratitude to the feline as they hurry to keep up with the tall red head leading them.

"Okay...our Oracles aren't there. One angel felt and ...biker it seems.." Neri glances back. "Where is eveyrone?"

Neri looks around and wonders how they got seperated, the first one there, she casted her ebony gaze around, and finds the others soon coming. A laugh comes from her quietly and she waves to them frantically when she sees Cal hurrying towards them.

Jaco Guisse chuckles, fog flowing from his lips. "Calleigh better not have chickened out on her own mission.

SilverLeaf Zabaleta grins, "real subtle all of us walking down the street"

Calleigh Constantine taps Jaco on his shoulder, "Me chicken out? Bullshit."

Jaco Guisse grins, leaning his head back to glance at her. "Just joking of course."

Nerissa Dae watches the biker that passed and turns back. "Only an angel. Lets do it."

Calleigh Constantine waves the rest of her family into the cemetary as she watches Silver go inside.

Nerissa Dae looks around slowly, seeing Karen finally, and turns her attention to Calleigh. "Ground's hard. We need to ...soften it up a little or its gonna break the bones."

Maykko Ryba smirks "I thought you liked it hard, Neri."

Jaco Guisse stifles a giggle. "How might we do that then..? The whole softening the ground.. not how Neri likes it hard.."

Calleigh Constantine looks up to the monument, walking up and brushing away some of the moss to reveal the name "Callas Crioa". She steps back, "This is it... again." Glances back to the others, waving her hands as the bundle of shovels appear, "We'll dig down a ways... and I'll thaw it the best I can as we go along.." She pauses, "Oh, and to make sure we don't get jumped again.." She pulls out a bag of salt, quickly running about and leaving a ring about them. "Alright... Lets start digging"

Elroy Brouwer looks around for water "Uhm.. anyone brought some water.."

Nerissa Dae lifts a fist to Maykko without looking at him. "Pow! Right in the kisser!"

Maykko Ryba smiles "Promises, promises....!"

Nerissa Dae chuckles at Calleigh. "Times like this I wish Taz were here to manipulate the elements. He's an actual alchemist."

Maykko Ryba takes his shoverl and test the earth with it.. Grunting at it's unyielding nature.

Elroy Brouwer chuckles catching one of the shovels and start digging furociously.

Karen Auebauch takes a spade and pokes its blade at the earth "I can . . tal tot he land if you wish, im not sure what spirit will lay here"

Jaco Guisse smiles, one of his tentacles reaching forward and retrieving a shovel from the bundle. Lifting it above the grave, the appendage plants it into the dirt, slowly beginning to try and crack the hard earth, a frustrated look growing on his face.

Elroy Brouwer breaks the shovel in her attempt to dig "Damnit.. this stuff is realy hard.."

Calleigh Constantine smirks, "Yeah, well, lacking him this time round. " She looks to Karen, frowning, "Mom's spirit is in hell so.. uh.. no point in that." Coughs as she kneels to the ground, clapping her hands to gether before pushing them to the earth, warming the ground beneith her and the grave site. "That should help.."

Karen Auebauch: *nods* i was meaning the spirit of the earth itself *Shrugs and channles her blood to strehgthen herself as she slams the spade into the dirt pulling it and wtisting the eart to the side"

Elroy Brouwer picks up another shovel "Oke lets try again." giggles as she pushes it into the ground this time it goes in a little smoother.

Maykko Ryba steps on the back of the blade which slides in and levers out a wedge of dirt...

Calleigh Constantine thinks for a moment, "You know... if we could just put an explosive charge..."

Maykko Ryba: and blow this person's bones sky high?

Nerissa Dae blinks and looks at Calleigh. "Are ya mad?! And ruin the area!?" She shakes her head and waves her hands. "Back up!"

Elroy Brouwer shrugs as she steps aside "Do youre thing Calleigh.." trying to avoid anymore digging.

Jaco Guisse smiles, listening to the idea of blowing the grave sky high, but doesn't remark. But then he takes a step back, watching trying to sense what Neri is doing.

Maykko Ryba: She's going to PMS it away!

Elroy Brouwer takes cover behind one of the thomb stones.

Calleigh Constantine glances back to Nerissa, "It's only a little one. and It'll save a lot of digging.. they burried her six feet under so if we can get down three feet, it'll be easy." With that she shuffles around in a small bag at her hip, pulling out a small satchel filled with a black powder. She grabs her knife at her other side, putting it to her harm as she puts a few drops of blood into it. The bag instantly starts to fizzle and smoke. She puts it under a mound a dirt in a small hole and gets back, "Back up this wont be pretty!"

Karen Auebauch takes her spade an steps back near elroy

Karen Auebauch: i think more distance is best

Calleigh Constantine reaches out and tries to pull Neri back.

Nerissa Dae rubs her nose as she steps forward. "Time to put to use what Os taught me once more." She says and raises her hands to the grave before her. Eyes train to the grave stone then she lowers them, the glistening black orbs studying it before she says in gaelic, " tá sibh glaoigh ar, Callas Croia! tagtha do mé!" Her words hold the power, the demon opening up a point of pure energy to act as a focal point to put behind the demand itself. The shadows beneath her feet writhe but its the silver laced tendrils that race away from her and pushes into the hard earth itself to seek out the body with a 'command'

Jaco Guisse frowns, wrappings his tentacles about his body protectively, taking cover behind a grave marker.

Maykko Ryba drinks beer furiously and hides behind the stack of bottles

Karen Auebauch takes cover behind the stone

Elroy Brouwer follows Karen example.

Maykko Ryba picks his nose and messily wipes it on some guy's tombstone

The small satchel of the Elemental's blood and gunpowder ignited and went off, despite Nerissa's close range, the explosion was big enough to only sound like that of a bad bike back fire. She watches as dirt flies up leaving a crater about the size of a foot wide and two feet down. There was a long silent pause before a bone hand reached up through the dirt, flapping as it tried to despriatly dig itself out before falling limp again.

Maykko Ryba: Oh wow Arcann isn't dead after all *snicker*

Calleigh Constantine cringes, "Fuck hope whose ever in the church didn't hear that." Inches forward, grabbing a shovel as she stands next to Nerissa, looking at the hand. "Still gotta dig her up?"

The ground shudders under foot, the newer stones of graves creak as they shift from the diseased lands shifts as Neri puts all her effort into pulling from the grave itself the body of Calleigh's mother. Again she calls out, this time louder, " tá sibh glaoigh ar, Callas Croia! tagtha do mé!" She tries not to flinch or react to the explosion, or yell at the one that CAUSED IT! , and stoops down to offer her small hand to the dead.

Elroy Brouwer watches over the stone with interest still hiding.

The hand moved again as it reached out, taking Nerissa's hand in an act of desperation. The ground shifted and after a moment, a figure appeared, the skeletual structure of a rather tall being, standing above Nerissa as it gaineed it's footing. The skull pivited but did nothing, remaining still as if waiting for something.

Nerissa Dae is like a child holding what is all that is left of Calleigh's mother, black eyes turned to look to the fire elder. " Do what ya need.." She says with a hint of exhaustion suddenly lacing her words.

Maykko Ryba leans over the handle of his shovel, watching intently

Calleigh Constantine stares for a moment at the bone figure, she looks to Nerissa then to the others before waving her hand, summoning a rather large blanket, "LEts wrap her up in this and get her to the shop... only way we'll pull this off without too much notice." She steps forward, draping her mother in the large red blanket before turning to the others, "Help me carry her... we'll say we ordered a new rug for the shop."

Karen Auebauch stands up using Elroy's shoulder as leverage grabbing her shovel she moves forwards " I will stay and cover the mess up as i can"

Elroy Brouwer chuckles as she walks over to help Calleigh carry her mom "Ill take the feet oke?"

Nerissa Dae tries not to laugh because she's probably afraid it will come out a cackle about now. She pries her small cold hand from the boney one gripping before stepping away to let them have it.

Maykko Ryba puts an arm under the bundle and waits for the caravan to depart

Jaco Guisse looks in the direction Calleigh, "Ordered a rug... sure.. sounds.. crazy." Smiling and taking his place holding onto the blanketed figure with one hand, he looks to the others.

Calleigh Constantine nods, "Good, thanks Karen. Yeah, Elroy take the feet, I got the head, Maykko middle so with you too Jaco.." She moves quickly hearing the bell toll. "LEts go lets go."

Maykko Ryba: I like being in the middle *grin*

Calleigh Constantine kicks Maykko in the ass as she moves forward, "Shut up and walk you." Chuckles softly.

Karen Auebauch picks up her spade and starts shoveling the loosened dirt back intot he whole

Elroy Brouwer giggles "I bet you do.."

Nerissa Dae turns as she holds herself. "Calleigh. I need to go find Wotan now. I'll be to the shop soon."

Calleigh Constantine glances back to Nerissa, nearly pulling her mother's skull off. "Alright, be safe NErissa. Thank you..."

Nerissa Dae glances up as if thinking and says, "Ya got two hours. No more until I can ... wake her again. Kay?"

With this said, she smiles to Calleigh, and heads off hurriedly in search of the lycan alpha.
