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.

On a Learning Curve

Nerissa Dae comes wandering over towards the feline, sipping loudly from a can of pop. With a pained smile, she holds it out. "Wanna drink?" She asks.

Raisa Nightfire takes the can and sniffs it "What is it?"

Nerissa Dae 's black eyes rolls and waves her hands about. "Pop! Duh!" She can only speak the truth but she seems to be watching intently.

Raisa Nightfire sips from the can after wiping the edge and then hands it back after drinking very little "Thank you"

Nerissa Dae notices how little the feline drinks from it and thrusts her lip out as if hurt while she reaches across to take it back. "Here I am, sharin' my drink with ya.." She starts to say. Of course, it is soda in the can but only to cover the other ingredient placed in it, something to knock out the cat.

Raisa Nightfire smiles and continues to drink from the can, purring as she does

The small minty green demon leans against the median while she rubs at her face with a funny look, touching some fresh wounds that seem to be healing, still pink and fleshy. Painful..But the eyes remain on the cat, Neri flashing an ivory smile back that doesn't touch too much at her eyes.

Raisa Nightfire rests the can on the barrier and looks to you "Thank you again" she says as her eyes seem to look as if they're getting heavier by the second. She starts swaying back and forth as she speaks again "It tasted a little fun..." She doesn't finish the sentence and falls back off the barrier, smashing her head on the concrete below

Nerissa Dae just keeps smiling and waits. Waiting the moment before she jumps foward to try and catch her before she has a chance to bust her head open. "Experimentation time." She murmurs to herself and hoists the cat up the best she can to take her down with her to the lair.

Gate Keeper: What is the color of Night?

Nerissa Dae speaks the word that opens the doorway to the underground chambers.

Gate Keeper Door - Night Riddle: You may pass.

Nerissa Dae moves slowly to carry her down the stairs and disposes of her onto the bed for now, tieing the cat down to keep her from escaping since she doesn't have the key to the cell.

Nerissa Dae rummages about in her bag at her hip, digging until she seems to find what she wanted. She glances over at Raisa, checking on her, making sure she's not bleeding or anything. Maybe a nasty bump at the back of the head but nothing broken.

Raisa Nightfire lets out a quiet mew as she lies there motionless

Nerissa Dae flashes a ruined smile down at her captive and holds up a small test tube. "Lookie what I got!" She says chipperly. "A nice lil drink for ya." She hops up onto the bed and moves over crouch right over the feline and squats so she's almost sitting on her belly. "Open wide!"

Raisa Nightfire her mouth falls open slightly from your movements on the bed and herself

Nerissa Dae grunts and takes the window of oppurtunity, jamming the lip of the vial to her lips and pouring its contents into Raisa's mouth and slapping her free hand immediately over it while she tosses away the small container emptied to free her other hand to pinch the cat's nose. Lack of air always makes a person's throat open and want to swallow. Plus she's just in a bad mood and wants to be a little mean.

Raisa Nightfire uncontrollably swallows the liquid and then opens her mouth to take a short breath

The potion is bitter and acidic as it hits the taste buds, tingling the tongue before finally swallows. Neri still remains hunched over where she's stradling the cat, Raisa having her undivided attention now as she takes her hands way with a giddy giggle of utter twistedness. Like an imp in some nightmare, she hovers and watches before she reaches down and sets her hands to grasp Raisa's face tightly between her bitterly cold little hands and begins to utter a chant to get the potion its full potential, to be able to totally change how the cat looks to that of someone else totally different. "L' siltrin zhah drill putty nindel molds beneath ussta xta'rl. L' siltrin zhah drill fabric nindel ulnen tlu molded ulu foluss else. Usstan tlun l' lloun'az nindel orn thir'ku nindol jindurn ji nau uss orn zhaun."

Raisa Nightfire 's chest and stomach suddenly tries to pull from her body as soon as the chant ends. Completely oblivious to how she's changing and still knocked out from the original potion

Nerissa Dae scrambles back off the bed but keeps close to watch how her potion works on the feline.

Nerissa Dae almost purrs when it seems that the potion finally worked, the cat no longer looking the same. A delightful laugh and she claps her hands. "Yes!"

Raisa Nightfire lets out a groan of pain when the changes had finished

Nerissa Dae perks up and grows silent, hovering at Raisa's side while she watches attentively. The change was fascinating to watch, features changing, body...she grins further when the horns grow from her head and the tail looses the fur. "Ooohh..A demon? I'd never woulda imagined."

Nerissa Dae straightens up and finally just smiles, leaving Raisa tied to the bed, to go out and take care of some stuff.


************* ......A few days later......*************

The subway was empty thankfully as she slipped down, having looked around to make sure no one followed her. She passed through and snuck into the pocket to the door, making inside her father's headquaters with ease and begun her descent downwards, walking slow and quiet so her hooved feet made no sound. Half way down, she hears two female voices and comes to find the pair talking in the chamber.

Chellie Sholokhov nods again as she indicates Nerissa's arrival. "This is my first born. Her father is ..." She tappers off and shakes her head.

Shadow Thorn looks over "Sorry I didn't catch that last bit."

Nerissa Dae rubs her nose as she stands there and readjusts her mask against her face as she looks over at the changed neko. "Hey! How's it goin'. Gotta hug for yer sister?" She opens her arms out to Thorn.

Shadow Thorn walks over into your arms and puts hers around the smaller, black wrapped demoness. "Um...Sure.."

Nerissa Dae glances at her mother and turns back again as her arms slips around the other female, cold embrace tightening a little more then necessary as she pulls her mask down against her shoulder. "Been meanin' to do something. Just been really busy." she murmurs.

Shadow Thorn still stands there in your arms "Oh? And what was that?"

From Neri's back sprouts dark limbs that coils around Thorn's arms behind her back, locking her in place in her own embrace as she gives a nod. ""Yeah..." The black eyes glisten as they look over as if she's prey before she opens hermouth wide and something dark and ominous is expelled as she blows sharply into her face. "Breath in, chikita." She murmurs, the small demon issuing a dark essense that will finally sink into Thorn's body and change the female completely to a demon.

The dark vapor expelled from Nerissa was like a gas. As bone chilling as the small demon's very own body, entering the lungs and then spread out and eating into the system, dominating with a demonic essense. At last, Raisa was no longer, and the feline's past has been obliterated by Nerissa's own manipulations.

Shadow Thorn shifts her face to the side, coughing from the gas and taking deep breaths to get air in her lungs, her body gets colder and it tenses up, she begins to shake in your grasp before her body goes limp and tries to fall to the ground

Nerissa Dae feels the body sagging in her grasp and grits her teeth to hold on before she finally just lets it slip free of her shadow limbs with dark vapors coming from between her lips and nostrils while looking down at Thorn's body with a nod.

As the body's weight leaves her arms, she turns at the sound of approaching footsteps to watch her father, mother and others coming down the stairs.

Nerissa Dae dusts herself off as she turns. "Its done." She tells Vulcan while pulling up her mask again while she gets control of the darkness within her.

Shadow Thorn takes a deep breath as she lies on the floor, her eyes open again and tries to get to her feet but stays on her knees as she looks around "What...What happened? What have you done?"

Nerissa Dae tsks quietly. "Made you my sister, permanently." She tells Thorn.

Shadow Thorn: W...Was I not before?

Nerissa Dae shakes her head as she runs over to pounce Vulcan, hugging him tightly. "Nope! " She tells her, saying no more about it. " The chill will wear off, don't worry."

Vulcan Dagger wraps his arms around Nerissa's waist as he looks at Shadow Thorn

Shadow Thorn slowly gets up, the shivering becoming less apparent now "What was wrong with me before?"

Nerissa Dae looks up to Vulcan as if to leave him to answer that question.

Vulcan Dagger: You were not fully changed yet...You were yet to be completely turned...and now you are

Shadow Thorn nods "I understand Father"

Vulcan Dagger smiles softly and places his palm on the table

Vulcan Dagger: I am feeling drained at the moment..

Nerissa Dae fades from sight with a cheery looking wave given to Thorn. "Enjoy yer new life, Sister."

Another Failed Attempt

We stood gathered, father talking to the others quietly while the bound woman was bound and wedged up between a pedestal and the hot gate to the fire engulfed cell. Neri was totally engrossed in what was going on as usual. Usually she's safe in the chamber deep below the earth. Usually. There was a tickle at the back of her thoughts and then, "I see you, I approach.." The masculine whisper set her straight on edge and her head jerks around, looking all over the room, glistening black orbs hitting every corner with natural sight and past with the eye of depths. Nothing was out of the ordinary, the people around her familiar and well known but for the human woman. She turns her mind outward quickly and scours the city around close and even then nothing. That one little touch gave her a sense to know what to look for but she couldn't find anything in spite knowing that this individual was close still.

A hard shake of her head in an attempt to clear it and then she catches sight of something pale within the dark recesses of her father's throne. Instantly, her guard flares up in a well of coldness and turns, alerting Vulcan with a mental touch. .oO{Vulcan! Who's that in yer chair!?}Oo. Of course she was terrified. Someone managed to slip through the defenses and enter her safe domain.

Curios Doobie: i think she GAVE you choices Lord Vulcan.. i think its so kind of her to do so in the lightest extent, but i dont think she understands your vision

Curios Doobie: but she is using words..

Curios Doobie: actons are louder than words..

Zepher Dean materializes in this chair "Looks like the right place."

Zepher Dean: ☾☬ HUHUHOHAHAHARRR!! ☬☽

Nerissa Dae moves to Vulcan quickly with a frown.

Curios Doobie draws his blade and aims it to the foriegn one

The human woman laughs lightly, eyes moving up to watch the ceiling .."Oh, this isn't about his vision Curios, it's about what happens on the way. I don't need action. This choice, is about more than my life, and V knows it.."

Zepher Dean: Now now

Zepher Dean: let's not have any of that

Zepher Dean: I could smell her fear miles away

Vulcan Dagger: Execute him.

Curios Doobie tilts his head.. staring at Zepher without dropping his guard

Zepher Dean: what do you expect

Vulcan Dagger turns around

Curios Doobie: yes lord


Curios Doobie attacks Zepher

The demon is brought down quickly, effortlessly, by her father's minion. Nerissa hovers behind Vulcan's towering dark visage while her tail whips side to side viciously with wariness.

Curios Doobie waits..

Vulcan Dagger: Now...Rise again Zepher..and we will try this again

Zepher Dean dusts himself off


Vulcan Dagger: You enter into a Domain not your own, You will not make contact with anyone other then myself, that Includes Nerissa.

Vulcan Dagger: State your Business.

Zepher Dean: Curriosity

Zepher Dean: the smell of a game hard at play

Zepher Dean: the gathering of demons

Vulcan Dagger: Curiousity. So you make contact with Nerissa's mind and intrude upon my Domain.

Zepher Dean: the bright eyed on was open

Zepher Dean: forgive the intrusion

Vulcan Dagger: Before we continue, You will not follow, contact or harress any more of my Kyn. Are we clear on that..

Zepher Dean grumbles a bit "Very clear"

Vulcan Dagger nods " Very Good..What is your name, Kyn."

Zepher Dean: Zepher Dean

Curios Doobie turns back to Ethiadia.. still holding his guard.."to be bluntly honest.. i dont know whom you are, where you come from, nor do i care about either.. there is obviously a reason Lord Vulcan has you bound upon his floor.."

Vulcan Dagger: Zepher Dean..do you know who I am?

Zepher Dean: I am gathering your identity

Vulcan Dagger: What have you Gathered..

Zepher Dean: this is perhaps your hall that I so rudely jumped into

Nerissa Dae moves further away from the unknown demon, putting some distance between.

Ethiadia Laasonen leans forward, looking up at Curious with a soft smile ..."There is a reason for everything, though I find it fairly stupid that you do not care, the origins of what make the happening. Kind of sloppy of you, wouldn't you say?"

Vulcan Dagger: It is.

Zepher Dean: And I perhaps disturbed the king during a ritual

Vulcan Dagger: Zepher Dean, your face and name has been "remembered"...from this point on, you will be watched. You will not make it very far should you try to assault any of the Kyn of this City, including my Brethen. If you think otherwise...I hope you do not entertain the illusion

Zepher Dean nods

Raisa Nightfire coughs and gets up from the chair, straightening her jacket before taking a few steps away "Well, i've been here for a good few hours and I guess i'll be going...

Vulcan Dagger: If you wish to linger with demons as one of the Kyn with no false or ill intentions..I will allow you sanctuary in my Home so long as I am present but you will ask the next time you think to Intrude..otherwise, you will die in mere seconds upon entry.

Vulcan Dagger: Sit Down!

When he bellows, its only smart to do what is demanded. Nerissa watches as both the bewitched feline and demon sits, one at the table and another on the edge of the bed she had been tied to for a couple days from Neri's own hands.

Curios Doobie scratches his chin a bit.. really unsacathed by words, but he was becoming annoyed.. he raised his blade and struck her in the temple with the blunt side so to knock her out only.. the forged ice shattering in the midst while he turned his back


Zepher Dean: "seems my curiousity has been waranted


Nerissa Dae looks to Raisa and back to Vulcan.

Curios Doobie looks to Vulcan.."she talks a lot.."

Vulcan Dagger sighs softly "aye"

The human sees the impact but simply lets it come, the blow to her head giving hte result desired and rendering her completely unconscious.


Brandy Snifter : That was delicious, Zepher Dean!

Vulcan Dagger looks at Ethiadia's knocked out form and looks back at Curios

Nerissa Dae: You could of just put her gag back on.

Curios Doobie: ..i could of...


Vulcan Dagger: Not one of her Good Days.


Nerissa Dae sets another dark silver dusted petal on her tongue, devouring it, while she looks down at the unconscious woman.

Vulcan Dagger takes a seat

Raisa Nightfire turns around "Why? You tell Amarie to bring me here but not a word has been spoken towards me since i've been here"


Curios Doobie: i would rather not do battle with words and wit.. no one ever wins as long as Anonymity exists


Zepher Dean: I must take my leave

Zepher Dean: pehaps another time

Vulcan Dagger: Good day, my Friend

Vulcan Dagger: Nice meeting you..

Zepher Dean: I will make my approch more Transaparent

Vulcan Dagger: That would be helpful.

Zepher Dean bows and fades

After the skull faced demon disappeared...deep in Neri's thoughts, she hears...

Vulcan Dagger growls, the sound sending chills down her spine, where no one else can here him. She asks him, "You don't know him?"

Father says, "No. An assassin coming for you..."

She's quiet for a moment before replying, "Foolish of him to come down here with us all for that."

"Stay away from him." He tells her. "When-ever you see him or Vincent, you get away."

Nerissa gives a mental nods, heart sinking with a cold knot settling in her belly.

She thinks of the other attempts on her life over the last couple of weeks. No where was she safe she was beginning to see and deep down she knows now why he pushes her so hard to keep her defense up. Wanting her to be prepared for anything.

He wasn't Happy...at first

He touches the raw wounds healing nicely, showing a scowl as his rough fingers caress the edges with a delicate feathers touch so as not to cause her pain. She looks up, the eyes as black as pitch but shining with some odd shimmer of quicksilver swimming through at times. " You are to stay away from him for now on." He tells her and her chin lowers with a subtle nod of understanding. She knew that it couldn't be helped but perhaps she should of just coaxed him instead of startling him out in the first place so as not to get into any form of violent confrontation and now guilt twisted her up for hiding the full truth from him in the first place. "I'm sorry.." she whispers.

She feels the grip of his hand catching her chin and drawing her head back up so he could see her youthful features again, his other coming to brush away the white bangs playing into her eyes. "So much like your mother." He tells her. She can only give a weak little smile that becomes caught up in a passionate kiss that leaves her heart racing and whimpering as her cold features soaks up the heat radiating outward. And even as he draws away, she's silent, eyelids heavy but still enough to peer out from under the lashes to look at his strong features cast down upon her upturned face.

The smile on her pale lips is soft and she sighs as she leans into his touch as it moves from her chin to her cheek again where there is no injury before he grasps her hips and pulls her to his lap where he holds her against himself tightly, protecting her as much as he can with his love.

It wasn't the light streaming through the gauzy curtains hanging from the bed. It wasn't the sound of the house settling. Nor was it her name being spoke. Nerissa shifted as her arm lifts and she moves her hand to the large warm one that now rested on her bare stomach. Her eyelids fluttered to open and ends up shifting about until she feels the arm she was resting in tighten and draw her small cold form in tighter to their body. "You were having a nightmare?" The deep rich male voice had her head lifting and pressing her nose against his chin where she followed the path of his hot breath washing over her face and murmurs in her sleep, barely awake.

" ..was I?..." Neri asks him and feels the warmth brushing of his skin against her forehead, his kiss soft and tenderly placed. "Aye, you were. Do you hurt?" She draws her eyes open and looks to him again as his thumb brushes over her belly again, her silver mane a curtain over his shoulder pulls down as she lifts her head to kiss his lips. "No..I'm okay. Don't remember anything so it weren't no vision..stupid dreams.." The sigh is quiet and muffled as he bends down and presses into a firmer kiss that leaves the small demon nearly lost in the moment, all thoughts, worries..out the door. And she can only smile and bite her lip as heavily lidded gaze washes over his shadowy features while his hair played into her upturned face before she buries it into his neck as she turns herself towards him sleepily and murmurs, " I'm okay, mo Ionúin. Promise..go back to sle..sleep." Her words come muffled as she is already beginning to nod off, feeling protected and loved, within his embrace.

Can things get anymore messed up? Nerissa begins to wonder what cruel jokes the gods enjoy playing on her. Sitting outside the shop in a funk, slumped while she watches others playing in the snow, ducking the random snow balls coming towards her head when she needed to. It shows how much she keeps to herself anymore, withdrawing from many, silent towards others.

Alive..after all this time. She has proof now. Knows for a fact that this woman claiming to be her mother is the real deal. The demon doesn't scowl, frown...she doesn't do much but silently sit and appear lost in thought. Hiding from those around her a lot.

Tazai has not been around for her. But she's use to it. Its a reoccuring thing for her life. A guy will come around and then gradually, they come around less and less. Shrugging off thoughts, she brushes snow off her bare skin, the overhanging lights on either sides of the door shine down on her and shows the ball jointed limbs easily. Of late, she has remained looking like an over sized doll. Perhaps to convey her weakened state. A fraility of her nature anymore. She refuses to do magic. Demonic. Necromantic. Herbalism. Avoiding any form of energy manipulation. She has not seen her mother. She has not seen her 'father'. Her creator.

Avoidance. Something she is good at. Now, she watches those around her. Pale eyes a glowing blue tracing over the snowy grounds as she watches the streets.

The gods must really be having a field day with her..
