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.
