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.

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*

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

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.

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..
