Elijah Phillips: Zips to the adress Baby gave him and steps out of the car.

Victor Mendez: "So what have you been up to today Eli?" *he says as the pull up*

Elijah Phillips: Shrugs folding himself out of the tiny car and making his way to the place she indicated "Not a lot.. been looking after tansy. Then I had to meet up with Anthony. You know how it goes.." Makes a quick strut for the door and gives it a knock. Anxious.

Victor Mendez: "I checked out the alley way earlier today it seems to match the MO of the devourer, but there was somthing odd there as if someone had used a lore a few days after the murders occured" *he says as he looks out the window*

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: The location is a low-rent apartment complex...old, horribly kept-up. The apartment in question is on the top floor.

Elijah Phillips: Eli looks around the place with a bit of an amused look on his face "Snazy.." He makes his way up the stairs to the appropriate floor.

Victor Mendez: ((oops DLP))

Victor Mendez: "Lets see what the Minister of eagles or the minister of I belong to the court that does nothing about anything has to say" *he says as he follows Eli up the stairs*

Elijah Phillips: Eli smirks a bit "Yeah.. we'll see, love." Looks around for the right door and gives it a knock.

Victor Mendez: *Victor adjust the guitar case on his back as he waits for the door to open*

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: The door opens, and there's the Goth Queen herself. She smiles at the two. "Heya. C'mon in." The door swings wider, and they're treated to the apartment. It's just as Victor remembers it...painted black walls, with drapings of silk here and there. The smell of incense is heavy in the air, and the lighting is dim, all the lamps covered by cloth and the windows painted black. There's still a hole in the wall from where the knife stuck in.

Elijah Phillips: Eli can't help but give another slight smirk, stepping into the place. He looks around for a place to take a seat "I didn't think you'd mind me picking up Vic.."

Victor Mendez: "You know I could fix the hole in your wall if you want me to" *he says with a smile as he notices the hole is still there*

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: "Naah, s'all good, Ouest." She walks over and picks up a martini, already made, bringing it back to Eli as she takes a drag from her clove. "Shaken, not stirred. I figured you for a Bond fan."

Elijah Phillips: Grins and accepts the martini "FABulous, love.. thanks." Takes a sip from the glass

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: A look to Victor. "Don't waste your talents on my wall, Nahal. Jenn blew the security deposit long before I arrived." She smirks a little.

Victor Mendez: *Victor sits down placing his case down in front of him* "So what have you got for us Baby Death?"

Elijah Phillips: Finds a seat as well, folding one lengthy leg over the other in a ladylike position.

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: She takes a seat on her couch, looking at the two. "Well, what do you want first? Staten Island, or Red Hook?"

Victor Mendez: "Lets start with Red Hook, because I think i already have that one figured out" *he says as he leans back into the couch*

Elijah Phillips: Thinks for a moment. "We could go chronologically.. Red Hook?" Nods to Victor and leans back in his seat.

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: She nods. "All right. Well, turns out that we've got all sorts of people looking into this...and yeah, it was definitely a couple of ours that did this. And believe me, it wasn't pretty."

Victor Mendez: "I know at least one of them. I ran into her a couple of times before in the alleys. A Devourer who slaughters without mercy. Do you know who the other one is?" *says Victor as he looks up at baby death*

Elijah Phillips: Nods to Baby Death, swirling his martini a bit absently "A couple?" Thinks.. hoping his assumptions weren't correct..

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: "Yeah, 'setsu was definitely one of them." She smiles a little, the kind of smile that reads 'Wow, I hate that person.' "The other, I don't know for sure. I have my guesses, though, especially considering what happened to a couple of the victims...

Elijah Phillips: Blinks a bit "What happened? Besides the obvious.."

Victor Mendez: "How do you know the Devourers Celestial name?" *says Victor looking at Baby anger rising in his eyes*

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: "She's the Minister of Lions, Nahal."

Victor Mendez: "She is what?" *says Victor as he shoots to his feet* "To hell with your fucking court"

Elijah Phillips: Eli's eyes widen slightly, turning his gaze cautiously and slowly toward Victor.

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: She knew THAT was coming. She just shrugs a little. "You think it was my idea to have her in the Courts, or the Minister position?"

Elijah Phillips: Eli's lips straighten "That doesnt change anything at this point love.. We DO have other things to discuss.. What can you tell us about the other party involved? What happened that stood out?"

Victor Mendez: "I dont give a fuck if it was your idea, she slaughters innocents, the Tyrant told me he would protect the innocents. Ill see how well his smug face looks on my axe" *says Victor as he moves to grab his case*

Elijah Phillips: Cringes a bit "Nahaliel.. love.. You can slice him into nicely quartered sections another time. For now, please? Can we continue?"

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: She holds a hand out to Eli...she won't discuss business until this gets settled. "Yes, go try and kill Tal, Nahaliel. Be my guest. And I'll see you back in Hell, whenever I go down."

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: "And if you don't stop yelling at me over a decision I have no fucking control over, my sunny disposition will start to go seriously downhill." It's all said in a mildly pleasant voice.

Victor Mendez: "Fuck you and your court" *says Victor as he turns and walks towards the door* "I have nothing more to speak about here" *he says as he reaches out to open the door*

Elijah Phillips: Blinks to Victor with pleading green eyes "Nah.. please?"

Victor Mendez: "Why, why should I stay. So that i can hear more about how its out of her hands and how we should follow a person who would employ a muderous son of a bitch like that. Ill wait in the car" *he says as he opens the door and walks out*

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: "NEHALIAL. Sit your ass down. Now." There went the sunny disposition, as she's standing up, staring at the man with a stone dead look. "You stop going on tantrums, or you remove yourself from trying to find a solution. Right fucking now. Unlike your friends, I won't deal with you're 'I hate you, I love you, I threaten you, I help you' bullshit. You walk out that door, you lose any right to my help. Do you understand me?"

Elijah Phillips: Eli straightens his lips and turns his gaze back down toward his martini. No sense trying to talk to him when he's like this..

Victor Mendez: *Victor whirls around at her and stares* "And exactly what help have you given us?" *he says with a shrug* "Since ive been a member of the court I havent seen it take a single action towards the problems at hand, Jarod was right all the court wants is to put us on another yoke"

Elijah Phillips: Eli mumbles "If it weren't for Jenn we would still be in the dark about Zagho.."

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: "Stop making me the entire fucking court, you short-sighted, narrow-minded idiot." She glares at him. "I thought you all were trying to change it from within. I would think this would give you even MORE motivation to work from inside to fix shit. Then again, I thought you had conviction in what you tried to do, and you, Nahaliel, change your attitudes and opinions more then a Democratic presidential candidate. Grow a spine, and make a stand. Whatever it is. Then deal with the consequences. But don't...DON'T..." She grins, a little maliciously. "Don't blame me for the state of the Courts."

Elijah Phillips: Maintains his gaze on the martini glass. Not caring much to have this argument right now. He interjects "And.. didn't she help with silkie that time too?"

Victor Mendez: "Okay then Baby where can I find the Minister of Lions?" *he says as he looks at her* "Ill bring my opinion to the source, and before you start making assumptions about where I stand you might actually like to see where i really stand"

Elijah Phillips: Interjects his thoughts again.. seemingly to the air in front of his face alone "I informed the tyrant that the devourer had breeched the treaty by scratching up one of the willworkers. He told me he was taking care of it."

Victor Mendez: "Has it been taken care of?" *says Victor as he looks at Eli still angry but trying to calm down*

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: "I know where you stand, Nahal. I know exactly where you stand, on a great many things. I'm not the Minister of Eagles for nothing." She relaxes a little, and takes a seat again. She picks up her clove and takes a drag off of it. "Now, should we discuss relevant information that might help in our problems, or do you want to pretend I'm everyone you hate, so you can keep slinging curses my way?"

Elijah Phillips: Eli glares at Victor "Don't you get pissy with me.. At least I reported it. You haven't exactly been on the goddamned forefront of things EITHER Nah.. So get off your fucking highhorse and sit down so we can figure this shit out." Takes a deep breath, maintaining compose "Please."

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: "Yes, he addressed the issue with the Neutral Party. It turns out that the chick-pea that was injured isn't part of the treaty, and no attacks have occurred within the Neutral Zone. Thus, no treaty violations have taken place, according to the Concerto's assessment."

Victor Mendez: "Then where do I stand Baby Death?" *says Victor as he takes a step into the door*

Victor Mendez: "The attack occured within downtown" *says Victor looking at Baby Death* "Which i though was the neutral zone"

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: "Where do you stand on what, Nahal?"

Elijah Phillips: Eli squints a bit, thinking to himself.. he THOUGHT it was in the dmz zone..

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: "The one attack that did occur downtown, in your alley, occured before 'setsu and the Courts were part of the Treaty." ((For the record, the attack where Tansy was wounded, per information given to me by Snow, Wyvern, and others was UPTOWN, not DOWNTOWN))

Victor Mendez: "Nevermind" *says Victor as he moves to sit back down* "So why do you follow people who do nothing to protect the innocent?" *says Victor in what appears to be an honsest to god question not an accusation*

Victor Mendez: ((I was pretty certain that it occured in downtown, but I could be wrong))

Elijah Phillips: ((that's cool. i'm sure you guys know better than me. *G*)) Eli nods, watching the two converse.

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: "Because I feel I can do a lot better where I'm at, and try to work against 'setsu and Tal, as Minister of Eagles." She levels a look at Victor. "Unless you'd like that cockwhore Zaggy looking out for all the new Demons in town..."

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: ((Sorry, my bad. It was in Midtown Industrial. Important thing is, still not part of the DMZ))

Elijah Phillips: Eli straightens his lips at the mentioning of that particular demon. "Can we.. get back to the red hook yet?" Eyes questioning the other two.. to see if they're quite finished with their little squabble.

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: She flicks her eyes to Elijah and nods a moment, though she's still silent, waiting to see if Victor's done.

Victor Mendez: "Fine" *says victor as he sits back down still seeming a bit aggitated*

Elijah Phillips: Takes a sip from his martini, leaning back in his seat with a nod to Baby.

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: She nods a little, then turns back to Eli. "So. Most people wouldn't have noticed the signs. But yours truly...well, let's just say I've got a good memory." She winks a bit. "Some things didn't sit well with me, so I snuck on into the coroner's office, and looked at some autopsies." She pauses, a definite crinkle of distaste coming to her face. "Looks like someone was hungry."

Victor Mendez: "How so?" *says Victor looking up at her*

Elijah Phillips: Eli gives a slight cringe at the thought of such a thing, but doesn't look entirely surprised.

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: "Because some of the victims were partially devoured, Nahal."

Elijah Phillips: Thinks for a second "Is it possible that.. I don't know.. maybe the peices weren't eaten.. simply ripped away? I mean.. how can you really TELL that sort of thing?"

Victor Mendez: "That seems evident from the fact that they were mauled and bitten by the Devourer, what in particular made this seem like our flesh eater" *he says as he watches her*

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: "'Based on the pieces of flesh missing from Jane Doe #13 after attempted repiecing the body, and the full set of teeth marks consistant with such activity, the conclusion is that the victim was partially eaten by their assailant.'" She says it as if she was repeating it verbatim from the report. "Someone chowed down on these poor fuckers, Ouest. And as far as 'setsu...she doesn't eat. She rends and tears. Claw marks, crushed skulls...that's her style, rampaging beast. This was more slow, deliberate. Enjoying the meal, so to speak."

Victor Mendez: "Okay I can buy that. So what is the court doing about this?" *says Victor looking at Baby Death*

Elijah Phillips: "I had to ask, love.. You understand." Nods and takes another sip from his martini, looking a bit absent. "Alright.. So we have two responsible for this particular slaughter. What of it? If it goes reported nothing will be done.."

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: "I'm working on getting definitive proof, so that Tal can't weasel his way out of it." She sighs. "He knows what 'setsu is, but he tolerates it, long as she keeps the Court safe. Not that he likes it, but she is, unfortunately, the best-suited for martial defense. I don't like it any more then you do," she quickly assures Victor. "But there are ways to do things in the Courts. And I have to present it a certain way." She takes a sip of her drink, sighing. "What's more, we have a problem relating to this, in a non-Court nature."

Victor Mendez: "Whats the problem?" *says Victor as he looks up at her*

Elijah Phillips: Leans back, listening attentively.

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: "Other groups are looking into this." She gets up, going to the fridge and pulling out pre-mixed Snakebite mix. She pours a glass. "The furries, and the Children of Babel."

Elijah Phillips: Eli nods "I've been doing my best to discourage such things.. but it's hard when they see that there's nothing being done on our end."

Victor Mendez: "Then we need to steer them awat before they get themselves hurt" *says Victor with a sigh*

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: "Yeah, good luck, there." She sighs. "I was watching as three of the Babelites did some investigation. They sensed me there, and one of them nearly fuckin' shot me. Talented little girls, though," she muses, taking a drink of the black liquid.

Elijah Phillips: Eli blinks a bit "Shot you?" His pretty eyes widen slightly "Umm.. which ones?"

Victor Mendez: "Okay then we should keep our eyes sharper from now on and try to make it to these scenes before the other groups have a chance to hear about them. I hate covering for that monster, but if it keeps him from hurting members of the other groups and starting an all out war ill do what I can" *he says with a sigh*

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: "One of them was Michelle Morgan. I know THAT face...girl of my dreams." She grins a little. "The other two, I don't know. One of them was a blonde kid, couldn't have been more then fiften, with some gadget doohickey. The other was older, also blonde. She was the one who nearly shot me."

Elijah Phillips: 2,7,

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: ((AHH! Sorry,s econd had black hair.))

Elijah Phillips: He gives a somewhat blank look "Guess I haven't met any of them.." Gives a bit of a sigh still swirling his martini glass in absense "Did they at least say anything to you before shooting? Or just plug some rounds because they felt you there?"

Victor Mendez: *Victor shrugs not really knowing any of the people mentioned* "So was all of this what caused the residualy magic feeling in the alley?"

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: "Well, they asked me if I did it, while they got the hell outa Dodge like I was Freddy Kreuger or something. I told them no. Then they ran...with something they plucked out of a hole in the wall."

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: She nods. "Probably that and my Light Bending, yeah."

Elijah Phillips: Nods and reaches up to scratch the back of his head "They're a bit.. skiddish.. toward our kind. Least lately they have been.." Looks down thinking to himself.

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: "And they didn't ACTUALLY shoot me. Though the black-haired bitch looked about three seconds away from doing so, until Morgan got her to get in the car through much screaming and yelling."

Elijah Phillips: He nods to Baby "That's good.."

Victor Mendez: "Look ill talk with some of them that I know and see if we cant possibly find a way to get them to leave this alone and possibly share with us whatever they took out of the wall" *he says as he sits up a bit* "So what do you have on the murdering rapist in staten island?"

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: 9,2,1,10,4,4,

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: 10,

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: 2,

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: She thinks a moment, then nods. "Samantha. And Arlett. That was the other's names. Samantha was the shooter, Arlett the teen."

Victor Mendez: *Victor nods and mumbles the names to himself trying to commit them to memory*

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: "Mmm. Staten Island-boy." She smiles a little. "Y'all offed someone with a name, boys and girls. Xander Titus, Extreme Sportsman. Also known as a Scourge. Combine the words Abald and Ioth and you have his other name."

Victor Mendez: "Was he a minister as well?" *says Victor with a smirk*

Elijah Phillips: Shakes his head a bit "Didn't mean to offend anyone, I assure you. I thought we were going out for information.. not blood. That was all Jarod.." His eyes narrow slightly thinking about Jarod.

Victor Mendez: (9Do you want us to roll legacy for the name?))

Elijah Phillips: 3,7,5,4,5,

Victor Mendez: 9,5,7,8,2,

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: "No, he wasn't a minister. Totally unrelated to the Courts. I don't care that he's dead...except that he seems to have a bad name, even among the Raveners. He's a sick motherfucker."

Elijah Phillips: Nods with another slight smirk "And he seemed like such a sweetheart.."

Victor Mendez: "So what made him so bad that even the Raveners didnt like him" *says Victor actually looking very interested*

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen -> Elijah Phillips: ((Abaldioth doesn't ring a HUGE bell, other then being a Scourge who served in the Crimson Legion.))

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen -> Victor Mendez: ((Abaldioth was a scourge in the Crimson Legion, and before the Rebellion, was responsible for creating mankind's Sex Drive. In the Pitt, he was became very close to the Lord of Chains, it is rumored.))

Victor Mendez: "Was his host from here, or did he travel to come here?" *says Victor as he sits thinking about the name*

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: "Once he came back?" She shrugs. "I don't know, specifically. Just that 'setsu considers him to be a monster. And THAT says something."

Elijah Phillips: Looks between the two without a great deal to contribute. He leans back in his chair and takes a sip, paying attention.

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: "He came here, from Los Angeles, about three months ago."

Victor Mendez: "Yes it does, could he have been the other demon in Red Hook?" *says victor watching Baby Death*

Victor Mendez: "he came becasue of the Lord of Chains" *says Victor with a sigh* "There was a rumor in the pit that he became pretty close with the lord of chains while we were all stuck in the abyss"

Elijah Phillips: Nods and interjects "Makes sense.." Not having anything constructive to say.. just enjoying the sound of his own voice really.

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: She frowns. "Hmm. That's...bad."

Victor Mendez: "I thought you would have known that, since you are the minister of Eagles" *says victor as he leans back* "well at least now the little bit of guilt I had for slicing the fucker in two can fade away peacefully now"

Elijah Phillips: "Unless he's still up and about.." he tosses out, without gazing to the man. "If he is.. we have no idea what he looks like now."

Victor Mendez: "We will find him if he is still up and about" *says victor with a nod* "what we need is a soul trap"

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: "Yes, because being Minister of Eagles makes me omniscent, right?" She smiles sweetly at Victor. "And the problem with you slicing the fucker in two is that A, his death has made the news. And B, he's out there, in a new body. One I don't know. I knew Xander."

Elijah Phillips: Eli slaps at his pockets with a halfgrin "I.. uhh.. left mine back at the suite, love.."

Victor Mendez: "Are there any others of my house in the city that you know of Baby Death, and as far as what I did the fucker put me in a coma so i think that I did the right thing by striking when I did" *says Victor looking at her* "and if it made the news that means that the body was just left lying there"

Victor Mendez: "And how certain are you that he is in a new body?" *he says looking serious*

Elijah Phillips: Eli scratches the back of his head "Jarod was checking you out.. I was on the wire with the doc.. Tom was supposted to be taking care of the body."

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: She shrugs. "Yeah, it was just left lying there. Now, as far as other Malefactors...there is one more. He's been lying low, but he's been here for a while. Good guy. I think y'all would like him."

Victor Mendez: "Do you know his visage?" *says Victor looking highly interested and curious about another member of his hosue being in town*

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: "Nope. Want me to call him over?"

Elijah Phillips: Nods with a bored look in his eye.. yes yes.. another artisan.. great.. He takes a sip from his martini.

Victor Mendez: "Sure, it would be a nice change of pace to meet someone who may be a familiar face" *says Victor with a smile*

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: She grins and nods, taking a drink of her snakebite, before calling out. "Hephael."

Victor Mendez: 10,9,8,3,9,

Elijah Phillips: His eyes widen with excitement and he tosses a grin in Vic's direction "We should all invoke him.. ruffle his feathers a bit." Gives a girlish giggle.

: 6,5,9,

Elijah Phillips: 6,9,4,7,9,

Victor Mendez: ((Victor remebers the hell out of him *G*))

Elijah Phillips: ((yes.. but does the lurker? *G*))

Victor Mendez: ((we appear to have a phantom roller *G*))

Victor Mendez: *Victor looks over at Eli* "and you wonder why you piss people off"

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: ((That would be Hephael. *G*))

Victor Mendez: 10,9,8,3,9,

Elijah Phillips: His eyes widen with excitement and he tosses a grin in Vic's direction "We should all invoke him.. ruffle his feathers a bit." Gives a girlish giggle.

: 6,5,9,

Elijah Phillips: 6,9,4,7,9,

Victor Mendez: ((Victor remebers the hell out of him *G*))

Elijah Phillips: ((yes.. but does the lurker? *G*))

Victor Mendez: ((we appear to have a phantom roller *G*))

Victor Mendez: *Victor looks over at Eli* "and you wonder why you piss people off"

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: ((That would be Hephael. *G*))

Victor Mendez: ((makes sense *G*))

Elijah Phillips: Shakes his head with an amused look, flicking a bit of platinum hair over his shoulder "I know exACTly why I piss people off, love.. They're haters. No sense of humor.."

Victor Mendez: *Victor just nods a bit and waits trying to hide his excitment at being able to meet another member of his house*

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen -> Victor Mendez: ((Hephael was a Malefactor, of course, the embodiment of the forge itself. Weaponmaker during the war, but preferred to make nonviolent things of beauty. He knew Lucifer, and really lost it in the Abyss when the big guy was missing.))

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen -> Elijah Phillips: ((Hephael was a Malefactor, of course, the embodiment of the forge itself. Weaponmaker during the war. He's a Luciferian.))

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: She smiles a little. "This is Jerech-Kor. Minister of Eagles for the Infernal Court of New York City. I have some friends who would like to meet you. Good folk, even if one of them's a serious hot-head." A wink Victor's way.

Elijah Phillips: Eli rolls his eyes at Victor "Down, killer.. You'll meet him.. chill." Grins to the man.

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: "We're in the Bronx." She gives the address and directions.

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: She smiles a little. "He's on his way."

Elijah Phillips: Grins to Baby "FABulous.."

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: ((And let's fast forward so we don't have to stall for a half-hour for him to show. *G*))

Victor Mendez: *Victor smiles* "cant wait to meet him"

Victor Mendez: ((im cool with that))

Elijah Phillips: ((awesome.))

Richard DiPrima: DD>Richard is an Italian man, in his mid thirties. He has light brown hair and blue eyes, and despite his limp, he's clearly a strong man. He leans upon a cane when he stands or walks, and stands at about 5'10" tall, weighing perhaps 180 pounds; he could perhaps make an imposing figure of himself. However, he isn't. He gives off the impression of someone who doesn't quite understand what's going on around him, but who's trying desperately to figure it out.

Richard DiPrima: *he hobbles over, having followed the given directions and recognizing the goth girl*

Victor Mendez: DD Victor is 5'6 145 lbs with black hair. He is wearing what appear to be old clothes that have been patched many times next to his legs sits a guitar case. Victor hispanic heritage shows through slightly in his face.

Elijah Phillips: Eli is leaning back in his chair, eyeing the lovely decorations about the place with a bit of a smirk, sipping his martini.

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: She looks up and moves to the door when Richard knocks, opening it for him. She gives a little giggle, almost a bit mischevious, and nods. "Evening. C'mon in, handsome..." She winks, and holds the door open for him.

Richard DiPrima: ((apologies if I end up slow, my connection is sucking tonight))

Victor Mendez: *Victor looks at the man and smiles* "Hello"

Elijah Phillips: Hearing handsome, Eli's ears perk up a bit as he sits up a bit straighter in his chair trying to peer around baby.

Richard DiPrima: "Hello." *looks around at the group, then to goth-girl* "You called? I assume that Jarod gave you my name?...never should have given it to him, letting everyone know it..." *the last bit is under his breath grumblings*

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: She grins and shakes her head. "Jarod didn't tell me nothin', big boy. I'm just that damn good."

Elijah Phillips: Eli shamelessly allows his pretty green eyes to flicker up and down the man's body from where he's sitting.

Victor Mendez: "So are you friends with Jarod then?" *says Victor still grinning happy to finally meet someone from his own house*

Richard DiPrima: "So why now? I've been left alone for half a year, and now there are people looking for me? Any particular reason?"

Richard DiPrima: "I've met him. First other I met out of the Pit." *shrugs*

Victor Mendez: "Im Nahaliel, a member of your house" *he says with a smile to the man* "im sorry if im bothering you, but when I heared that you were from my house I just had to meet you"

Elijah Phillips: Eli flashes a somewhat amused face to the man "You make us out to sound like stalkers, love.. We were just curious.."

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: She moves in, letting the man come or go. "Shut the door behind ya, babe." She moves to her chair, picking up her jar-glass of snakebite and having some. "And 'cause Victor here, who's one of your House, wanted to meet another Annunaki. Maybe introductions should be made." She looks to the other two.

Richard DiPrima: *closes the door behind him*

Richard DiPrima: 9,5,1,4,5,7,6,6,

Elijah Phillips: Gives out a girlish giggle when baby mentions introductions "Where are my manners.. I apologize." Takes another sip from the martini grinning to Richard "Ouestucati, love.. of the fifth house. Pleasure to meet you." He bats his glittery lashes at the man.

Richard DiPrima: "As you all know now, as can be attested by my being called here, I'm Hephael. Among mortals, I'm known as Richard, however."

Richard DiPrima: 3,9,4,8,5,5,9,2,

Richard DiPrima: ((that was for Ouestucati))

Richard DiPrima: 6,3,4,3,7,4,4,2,

Richard DiPrima: *glances over at Victor* "Hmm...I remember you a bit..."

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen -> Richard DiPrima: ((Jerech-Kor; a Fiend. Visage of Patterns; served in the Silver Legion as an advisor to one of Asmodeus's Lieutenants))

Victor Mendez: "I remeber you a bit as well, and personally I prefer the construction of beautiful things to weapons myself, even if the times seem to show more of a need for tools of war" *says Victor with a sigh* "So are you a member of the court?"

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: She sits there, letting them talk, and just watching behind her cider/lager drink and clove.

Elijah Phillips: Grins to richard "You should come up to my suite sometime, love.. I can show you the statue Vic did for me.. It's FABulous." Flashes the man a glittery wink.

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: ((Crap. Think we may have lost Jano.))

Victor Mendez: ((that sucks but just as a warning im probably going to be getting off soon been on for almost 7 hours and i think my eyes are telling me they need to rest))

Elijah Phillips: ((there he is))

Richard DiPrima: ((sorry, connection died))

Victor Mendez: ((no prob))

Richard DiPrima: "I agree, beautiful things are much better than weapons...but there was a need, so I filled it. And the ones I made were beautiful themselves...too bad the host destroyed them all."

Victor Mendez: *Victor nods to him* "But besides from just wanting to meet you, I was wondering if you had the ability to construct a soul trap or if you were like me still relearnig the skills of old"

Elijah Phillips: Eli rolls his eyes slightly, looking from artisan to artisan before flicking his pretty eyes down to his watch with a tiny sigh.

Victor Mendez: *Victor looks over at Eli* "You have some where that you need to be?"

Elijah Phillips: Eli gives a slight shrug "I just wanted to check on Tansy.. nothing urgent, she's just been a bit under the weather lately."

Victor Mendez: *Victor nods as he waits for Richard to replie*

Richard DiPrima: "I don't believe I have that sort of power anymore. I remember fairly little of my former power."

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: She glances over at Eli. ((Per+Emp))

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: 4,1,5,3,5,

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: ((*Thud*))

Elijah Phillips: ((*G* he is an emotional fortress!))

Victor Mendez: "Hmm, well maybe we can relearn together" *says Victor with a smile* "But right now Eli should probably be getting back to Tansy, and I probably should be getting home myself"

Elijah Phillips: Eli shrugs "Don't rush off on my behalf, love.. I'm not even entirely sure the girl is home.." He downs the rest of his martini and sets it on the table nearest his chair.

Richard DiPrima: "So is there anything in particular? Or is this just a social call?"

Victor Mendez: "Its not entirely on your behalf either" *says Victor with a smile* "I should probably be getting home myself"

Victor Mendez: "This is just a social call, sorry if we disturbed you from anything important" *he says with a smile to the man*

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: She smiles Eli's way. "You want company on over, babe? The boys can talk here."

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: "Well, Nahal, you could always bring him up to speed on our Earthbound problems, 'less you want me to do that...or he could ask Meli."

Elijah Phillips: Nods with a bit of a shrug "Sounds fun." Grins over to baby "I can show off all the pretty things Vic's made me." Bats his lashes at Victor.

Victor Mendez: ((out of character the player is tired and needs to get off for a little while))

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: A grin to Eli, and she stands up. "Sounds like a blast, babe." She looks at Nahal. "Filling Heph in is up to you, or you can send him of to our little paranoid Defiler friend. Your call. Lock up when ya leave."

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: ((That's cool, Dark. Baby's just being...Baby. *G*)) She looks to Richard. "Or you can come with us...whatever works, Heph."

Richard DiPrima: "Please. Unless you need to use my full name, just refer to me as Richard."

Elijah Phillips: Pushes himself up from the seat and follows Baby.

Victor Mendez: *Victor sighs a bit* "Well I could fill you in later if you would like to meet with me" *says Victor with a friendly smile towards Richard* "But I really should be getting myself home"

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: A raised eyebrow. "Ahh, you're a Host-oriented one. Gotcha."

Elijah Phillips: Nods to Victor "I'll drop ya off, love.. it's on the way." Making an elaborate strut for the door.

Victor Mendez: *Victor extends his hand to Richard* "It was nice to meet you" *he says before moving to follow Eli*

Victor Mendez: ((Well im off for a bit))

Elijah Phillips: Eli struts out of the apartment, heading downstairs and trusting that anyone interested in the convoy in question will follow behind

Victor Mendez: ((thanks for the scene))

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: She looks to Richard. "You coming? Got a host-a stuff to tell you about."

Richard DiPrima: "Good bye." *to Victor* "So what's going on? I'd like either to be filled in or to be left alone."

Elijah Phillips: Gives a smirk walking ahead of richard and baby "Blunt and to the point.. I like that in a man.."

Richard DiPrima: *he limps after Jenn* ((I apologize, my connection again...it's really bad tonight))

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: She chuckles to Elijah, and moves into the car.

Elijah Phillips: Folds himself into the tiny black hybrid and turns the key, filling the car with an annoyingly loud industrial beat. Once everyone's safely tucked inside, he makes a quick zip out of the space toward his uptown suite.

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: ((Hey, guys, you mind if we give it like, 20 minutes? My brain needs a short reboot. I keep thinking of Mage stuff, Boondock Saints, and Legendary Realms (done't ask)))

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: ((You guys can go ahead...just assume that Baby is quiet.))

Elijah Phillips: ((hmm.. making a pair of euthies are we? that's what THAT movie reminded me of. *G* that's cool. icq me when you're ready to continue.))

Richard DiPrima: ((I can wait 20 minutes, IM me when we get back together))

Jenn "Baby Death" Ilsen: ((Cool, thanks.))

 

ELI'S HOTEL ROOM

Richard DiPrima: *sits in the car quietly, clearly not a social person*

Elijah Phillips: Eli zips the tiny hybrid into the drive of the upscale hotel. After cutting the engine he folds his lengthy frame from the car and flashes a glittery wink at the valet, tossing him the keys and flipping out a lofty tip for the boy "Georgio, love.. Come by tomorrow and let me work on those roots of yours, I BEG you.." He kisses the boy on the cheek and makes his way to the entrance.

Jenn "Baby Death" Illsen: She sits in the car, smoking her cloves like a chimney on the ride over. Once the car stops, she's out, moving to the hotel.

Elijah Phillips: Eli makes his way through the lobby, greeting patrons and help alike with the same giddy demeanor. He leads them to the elevator and holds the door open for the two.

Richard DiPrima: *follows Jenn out of the car and into the hotel, not hurrying himself though*

Jenn "Baby Death" Illsen: With a harmlessly flirtatious smile to the model, she slides past him, into the elevator.

Elijah Phillips: Maintains his sly grin and slinks into the elevator after both parties are in. He presses the button to his floor and leans against the side of the thing flicking his wrist out in front of him to check the condition of his fingernails.

Elijah Phillips: When the door slides open with a ding to indicate they've hit the appropriate floor, Eli begins his strut down the hallway toward his suite. He slides his key and slings the door open with the same sly grin, making a beeline toward the vanity.

Tansy: Tansy is laying asleep on the main bed in the room, wearing a pair of purple streach pants, a purple Sports bra and a oversized white t-shirt the neck looks ripped off so that is slids off one of her shoulders and has done so as she is curled up on the bed. She has her backpackopen at the foot of the bed beside her is a ziplock bag of a candied ginger, anmd a cup of tea sitson the table by the bed.

Richard DiPrima: *is quiet, he'll follow where led*

Jenn "Baby Death" Illsen: She moves along behind Elijah, walking in behind him and looking over at the statue. "I gotta say, Ouest. Every time I see that thing, I just...DAMN."

Richard DiPrima: *checks out hte statue with a critical eye, then looks for a seat*

Elijah Phillips: The room is spacious. In the center there is a massive bed in front of two large windows. There are mirrors scattered on every wall, three doors that lead to another bedroom, bath, and closet. Off to one side there is a minibar area close to a table and chairs. Across the room there is a couch and in the corner there is a lifesized marble statue of a gorgeous woman in an angelic pose (woman has app.6 statue is VERY nicely crafted. you can roll leg to recognize her if you like) Atop the woman's head there is a finely crafted glass tiara. Eli makes his strut for the massive vanity area located next to the bed to check on the condition of his makeup.

Tansy: She blinks her eyes open it must have been the door opening. She continues to lay there tho.

Richard DiPrima: *actually, the tiara catches his attention, and he inspects it rather closely* (what's the quality of it? Shall I roll something to determine that?)

Richard DiPrima: 5,8,2,3,4,3,2,10,

Elijah Phillips: After nodding to himself in the mirror, blowing himself a tiny kiss, he walks over to the bed to give tansy a gentle shake "Love.. We have company." Leans over to kiss the girl's cheek.

Elijah Phillips: ((Umm.. i think he got 6 sux on construction of the tiara.. is that right rav?))

Jenn "Baby Death" Illsen: ((She knows the statue and has seen the real thing. *G*)) She just grins at the statue and moves over toward the bar. "Want me to make you a martini, Ouest? Or did I fuck the one at my house up? I know I don't have your expensive taste..."

Elijah Phillips: ((the statue has 28 acc. sux i think))

Tansy: She smiles up at Eli, rolling onto her back slowely. "So I see."

Elijah Phillips: Gives a laugh to Baby and nods "It was FABulous, love.. I'd appreciate that."

Jenn "Baby Death" Illsen: ((Something like that.))

Elijah Phillips: Reaches down to touch tansy's torn shirt with a flash of concern "Something happen, love?"

Richard DiPrima: *sits himself down after inspecting the tiara, not looking all that impressed by it.*

Tansy: She smiles. "No....I have had this forever, it is just well worn and sometimes get's cau7ght on things, I usually wear it atop my work out clothes..." she nibbles her lip and blushes." self consious in the gyms and what not."

Jenn "Baby Death" Illsen: A smirk, and she nods, making the man's martini. "So how the hell are ya, girl? Haven't been around, lately, I know...Court duties, and all. You're lucky that Tal doesn't make you attend Court regularly...apparently, he's too laissez faire about the Ministry of Dust to care. But oh, for knowing the new Fallen in the city and intelligence...it's lucky I ever get away..."

Elijah Phillips: Eli rolls his eyes a bit, turning to Jenn "I wouldn't mind at all being included in things.. As it he, the man STILL hasn't introduced me about yet."

Elijah Phillips: ((as it IS))

Tansy: She scoots up to a sitting position and reach over for the now cool tea taking a sip.

Jenn "Baby Death" Illsen: She moves over to Eli, bringing him his drink. "There's a couple okay folks, I guess. Mostly crap, though." She hands him the glass, then smiles to Tansy. "Hey, Tansy. How are you?"

Richard DiPrima: *stays seated, taking in his surroundings quietly*

Tansy: She smiles to Richard,"Hiya" then to Jenn. "Hiya Jenn."

Elijah Phillips: Takes the glass with a grin "Thanks, love.." Takes a sip and sits down on the bed next to tansy.

Richard DiPrima: "Hello."

Jenn "Baby Death" Illsen: "Please, hot stuff. Call me Baby Death, Baby, or Jerech-Kor. Jenn is just so...normal." She shudders a little. "Even Jerech works."

Tansy: "Been better, but a friend mentione Ginger tea and candied Ginger to me so it is helping muchly." she takes another sip of the tea.

Tansy: She smiles and nods to Jenn. "Gotcha."

Elijah Phillips: Shakes his head with another embarassed grin "My bad.. Richard.. This is my tansy." He drapes an arm around tansy's shoulders.

Jenn "Baby Death" Illsen: She moves to a spot on the floor, near the window, and flops into a semi-cross-legged seat. "So. He...sorry, Richard. You've been quiet for a while...where ya want us to start?"

Tansy: She smiles up at Eli, that was a first. she looks over to Richard. "Nice ta meetcha."

Richard DiPrima: *nods to Tansy* "You too." *then turns to Jenn* "Give me the general overview. Who's in town, and who's on what side."

Tansy: She remains quiet and leans against Eli, sipping at the tea.

Elijah Phillips: Gives tansy a tight squeeze grinning to Richard "Sides would make things quite a bit easier.. We should make t-shirts.."

Jenn "Baby Death" Illsen: "All right." She nods. "We got an Infernal Court now. Run by Tal. Throw 'Kerioth' on the end of that, and you've got his full name. A Devil, and a Luciferian. He's got the majority of us involved. Everyone but Jarod and a few stragglers, and maybe Nahal, after his outburst tonight."

Tansy: She snuggles a bit closer putting a hand to her mouth to siffle the giggles.

Elijah Phillips: "Has Zagno wormed her way into the court yet?"

Richard DiPrima: 1,8,3,6,2,5,6,3,

Jenn "Baby Death" Illsen: "Just about there. 'setsu's getting her in. No surprise, huh? The other reason why I expect our flesh-eating cuntrag to be involved in the Red Hook thing."

Elijah Phillips: Straightens his lips and flicks his gaze down to the carpet "Yeah.. She's been barkin up my way to get her in.. but I told her I wasn't going to. I assumed she'd find someone who would."

Tansy: Red hook? flesh-eating? who? what? she looks from Jenn to Richard, looksing quite clearly confused.

Richard DiPrima: "Ok...you're gonna have to back up a bit. Who's this?"

Elijah Phillips: Gives tansy another squeeze and grins to Richard "She takes host in a woman named Cynthia Connors. She's from the ebon legion.. quite a nasty little bitch. Took quite a taste for the flesh of mortals."

Jenn "Baby Death" Illsen: She looks to Richard. "Remember Sagun? She lost it after that, along with the rest of the company she was involved in. They started eating humans. Torturing them. All that kind of shit. They were fucked up BEFORE they hit the Pit."

Tansy: She swallows hard and looks up to Eli. in a quiet voice. "She..eats the flesh of people? She has done this while up here?" she takes a sip of the tea. she is not going to throw up be a bad thing.

Richard DiPrima: "Would she be why you were looking for a soultrap?"

Jenn "Baby Death" Illsen: "And what's worse, is she worked for the Earthbound that's currently threatening our fair city during the War of Wrath."

Elijah Phillips: Eli's lips go straight and he stokes the girl's back, trying his best for a comforting stance. "I.. think she may have, love. We're not entirely certain."

Tansy: She glances to Jenn, then closes her eyes trying to focus on good thoughts.

Tansy: She takes several breaths as Eli rubs her back. She nods slightly.

Elijah Phillips: Eli gives a slight shrug to Richard "She's not the only one we'd use one on.. Nah's been wanting one for this Abald fucker too. After what happened.."

Richard DiPrima: "And what happened?"

Jenn "Baby Death" Illsen: She sits back, quiet, and lets Eli explain. She was there, after all.

Tansy: She blinks to Richard "What happened when?"

Elijah Phillips: "We were poking around staten island for information on the lord of chains.. and we ran into one of his homeboys, a scourge." Blinks a bit "Anyway.. shit hit the fan.. Nah sliced the fucker in twain, but he got a touch in knocking him flat on his ass for a bit."

Richard DiPrima: *shrugs* "I have no idea. I don't know anything, and I'm being given little tiny bits of information that aren't enough to do anything with, like being told that the reason for something is 'what happened'...as if I actually know what's being talked about."

Richard DiPrima: "So we've got a cannibal on the loose and an Earthbound?"

Tansy: She looks to the floor. hearinf what happened on the recon mission totallty well more than before, for the first time.

Elijah Phillips: "Vic feels bad because we couldn't get the information we needed from him.. And was saying if he had the ability to forge a soultrap, we could catch the fucker and get what we need from him."

Tansy: "And a devourer, don't forget her...or him....or it." she mutters.

Richard DiPrima: "Well that's a big power. There wouldn't be many who can remember how to do it. I've forgotten more than just that, and it'll probably take me awhile to reclaim that piece of knowledge."

Elijah Phillips: Nods to tansy "Her."

Jenn "Baby Death" Illsen: She nods. "Yep. Earthbound's name is Cernnunos, or Kyton. Not his Celestial or True, of course, but that's what he went by. The Lord of Chains. Seriously fucked-up little Dark God. He's already offed, that we know of, one Thrall, a few Fallen, and seems to be making plans to step things up."

Jenn "Baby Death" Illsen: "And the Devourer. On. Last name Setsu. Real cast-iron bitch. Minister of Lions."

Elijah Phillips: Blinks over to Jenn "Did I ever get back to you on his celestial name, love? With everything that went down recently.. it totally slipped my mind.."

Tansy: "Cat thing was a her." she shakes her head. then looks to Jenn "Step up attacks and go for his big master plan huh? oh goodie."

Richard DiPrima: 4,6,6,9,7,4,4,8,

Richard DiPrima: "So then, the Earthbound is the greater threat, but if we can deal with the cannibal in the meantime, that'd be good. What do we know?"

Tansy: ((Samn Nice roll))

Elijah Phillips: "We know the cannibal used to work for the earthbound. She knows his tactics and therefore could very well be an asset. She's already given us quite a bit of the information that we have on the lord of chains.."

Jenn "Baby Death" Illsen: "And I still don't trust the queef." She scowls a little. "I wouldn't be shocked if she was on Cernnunos's side."

Richard DiPrima: "I remember this Devourer." *frowns deeply* "This is not good."

Tansy: She raises an eyebrow to Richard. then nods her head like she knows.

Elijah Phillips: "I.. can't tell if she is or not.. she claims that he abandoned her and that she wants to destroy him just as much as we do." takes a sip of his martini "She's tracking down the soul taker to aid in trying to bring him down.."

Richard DiPrima: 9,4,4,7,5,10,4,3,

Jenn "Baby Death" Illsen: 7,6,4,6,4,6,5,5,

Tansy: She grabs the baggie of candied ginger takes out a piece and starts nibbling on it as she reseals the bag.

Tansy: She leans in close to Eli as she munches on the ginger.

Jenn "Baby Death" Illsen: She frowns. "Why does that sound familiar? Wasn't Soultaker a scary-ass sword?"

Richard DiPrima: *eyes widen* "You can't be serious?!"

Elijah Phillips: Leans down to kiss the top of tansy's head. He leans back on his elbows, kicking his legs girlishly over the edge of the bed. He nods "From what I understand.. I can't really remember much about the thing.. but I know it CAN'T be good.."

Jenn "Baby Death" Illsen: She looks to Richard, an eyebrow raised. "Wanna clue us in, there, chief?"

Richard DiPrima: "I will have no part in any plan that requires....THAT!"

Elijah Phillips: Nods with a grin to Richard "It's your turn, love. Spill." Leans back like a gossip at a slumber party.

Richard DiPrima: "I don't remember who made it...I only pray that I had nothing to do with it. Someone AGREED to be bound to it, and that made it a terrible weapon. Anyone killed by it would have their soul stolen by it...and if it breaks, the trapped demons will most likely emerge en masse."

Richard DiPrima: *he shudders involuntarily at the memory*

Jenn "Baby Death" Illsen: A blink, as color drains from her face. "So...um...how many Demons do you think that would be?"

Jenn "Baby Death" Illsen: Well, it did drain, but it's hard to tell under all that white-face the goth chick has on.

Tansy: She smiles over to Eli, then licks her fingers clean from the candies ginger. listening silently to the conversation she crosses her legs indoan style as she sits on the bed.

Richard DiPrima: "I have no idea." *shakes his head* "I cannot remember when during the war it was made."

Elijah Phillips: Gives a slight nod "So what would you recommend then? Should we hault her pursuit, or let her hunt it down for us so we can dispose of it properly?" Takes another sip from the martini.

Richard DiPrima: "I don't know if it can be disposed of properly. It cannot be used...but it cannot be destroyed. It is best if it is found and then well hidden and protected, I think."

Jenn "Baby Death" Illsen: "Fuck...Demon's souls trapped in an item since the War...they'd ALL be Earthbound, essentially, wouldn't they?"

Tansy: She looks to Richard her eyes wide. speachless, that is worse than a litch....I think.

Richard DiPrima: *nods* "I would think so. I'll have to try to figure out if there's a way to unmake it without freeing the trapped souls...even if I can't do it myself, I might be able to find someone who can..."

Jenn "Baby Death" Illsen: "I think...I'm going to go throw up now. Excuse me." She gets up, the effects of her highly-potent Snakebite from earlier suddenly having far more effect, and starts moving toward the bathroom.

Elijah Phillips: Gives another nod, still rubbing tansy's back in comfort. "Right.."

Elijah Phillips: Eli can't help but toss an amused look in tansy's direction "What is it about beautiful women throwing up in my bathroom..?"

Richard DiPrima: "Is your home a normal place to speak of things like Soultaker? If so, it will happen again and again. I wouldn't allow such in my home."

Tansy: "What about possible taking it somewhere where no one can get to it?"

Jenn "Baby Death" Illsen: She hits the bathroom, closing the door behind her. Then comes the HUUURK sound.

Richard DiPrima: "If it can't be unmade, that's what must be done." *nods*

Tansy: She smiles at Eli. "There is a slight difference with me, tho hun."

Elijah Phillips: Eli blinks over to Richard "What.. you want to go hang out in the middle of town and talk about it, love? This place is as safe as any for now.. when it's not I'll pick up to another." Leans back a bit

Tansy: She puts fingers ion her ears and starts to hum as Jenn throws up.

Richard DiPrima: *rolls his eyes* "The important thing is that we will have to deal with this quickly. If the sword is found by the wrong person, it could be used against us..." *shudders* "and whoever uses it will be immensely dangerous to all of us."

Richard DiPrima: "And that's without the risk of it breaking."

Elijah Phillips: He gives a tiny sigh and flashes a concerned face toward the bathroom door. Pushing himself up and out of the bed, he makes his elaborate strut in that direction, giving a soft tap tap on the bathroom door. "Love.. you alright?"

Jenn "Baby Death" Illsen: The FWOOSH of the toilet flushing is heard, and then she re-emerges, wiping her mouth with a square of toilet paper. "Much better."

Tansy: Still with her fingers in her ears, and prollu a bit louder than she intended. "Can it be senced?"

Elijah Phillips: Flashes her a halfgrin with another faint nod before heading back over to the bed "If Zag does find the sword.. I'm sure Nah'd have no problem yanking it from her piddly grasp." Takes his seat again

Jenn "Baby Death" Illsen: She weaves a little back to her spot by the window, opening it up. Fresh air is GOOD. "I assume this is a non-smoking household at the moment?"

Richard DiPrima: "Depends on if...Zag or Zag's host has any experience with swordplay...if so,...Nah could be in a lot of trouble."

Jenn "Baby Death" Illsen: "Yeah, if the Queen of Sluts doesn't snap it like a twig as soon as she finds it," she mutters.

Tansy: When she see's Jenn she pulls her fingers out of her ears. "Go ahead." she points a finger at Eli. "Does it all the time."

Elijah Phillips: Flashes Richard a confident grin "I'd put my money on Nah anyday.." Blinks over to Baby with a scratch of the back of his head in a confused look "Ehh.. Hadn't really thought about it tell ya the truth.." Looks over to tansy with questioning eyes.

Richard DiPrima: *shakes his head* "You don't seem to get it. That's one powerful sword. It is NOT something to play with or to take risks with."

Jenn "Baby Death" Illsen: A thankful nod to Eli and Tansy, and she lights up a clove. "Mmm, sweet clove oil. Stomach acid taste begone..."

Tansy: She shrugs her shouylders to Eli,"Jus know I shouldn't smoke...or drink," she rolls her eyes "Or have cafeen. that's the reson behind the juice and milk and water in the fridge."

Elijah Phillips: Spins back around to Richard, narrowing his pretty green eyes on the man "What the fuck do you want me to DO, love.." He speaks down to the man "I don't think *I* could find the damn thing.. and I don't think *I* could stop whoever did from breaking it.." Leans forward slightly "But *I* am the reason we know it's being sought. So watch your fucking tone."

Tansy: She wispers into Eli's ear.

Jenn "Baby Death" Illsen: "You guys. Set your probably tree-trunk-sized organs aside and think about this a moment." She frowns, exhaling a cloud of smoke toward the window. "The Earthbound we've been dealing with. They've all escaped since we got tossed into the Abyss. Even the Archdukes. But these things? They were bound BEFORE the Abyss. During the war. And it's not inconceivable that one has consumed the others, to make it SUPER-omnipotent and psychotic."

Richard DiPrima: "And I'm the reason we know that there's a disaster coming and can TRY to avert it. If I hadn't been called, you would just be ignorantly waiting for Soultaker to be found, and either it would be used or it would be broken, and all would be lost!"

Elijah Phillips: Eli gives a deep breath and leans back on his elbows, nodding to Baby. He seems to completely disreguard whatever tansy whispered to him. "And for all your big talk, Rick.. You still haven't come up with a better plan.. Or offered to aid in any way."

Tansy: She squirms it's not like she would go and get the damn thing. she remains silent.

Tansy: She nibbles on her lip looking to the floor her mind racing, her eyes looking about.

Richard DiPrima: "Fine then. I'll just hunt down the one searching for it and give her a proper lesson from the forges of Hell if she continues afterwards."

Jenn "Baby Death" Illsen: "And more to the point...Lucifer For-BID if someone actually used the fucking thing to slay Cernnunos. It would either give him souls to feast on, or give the super-thing something REALLY nasty to chow down. And then...fuck the Abyss. It'll look like a vacation spot compared to what that thing will turn up here into. I know I'LL be diving in front of the first car I can find."

Elijah Phillips: Nods "So you'd like her to convene her search, then.. I can arrange that." Takes a cool sip from his martini "What was proposed earlier was to track it down so it could be either guarded or hidden. I was just curious as to what you think the best plan of action would be." Smirks a bit

Jenn "Baby Death" Illsen: "Let me talk to Twat-4-Sale. I'll see if I can talk some sense into her. Or beat it in." She looks to Richard. "If you wanna come along, though, I won't complain."

Richard DiPrima: "That we stop OTHERS from looking for it, find it outselves, and then, if no way has been found to safely unmake it, we hide it somewhere that no one, not a human nor a demon, will look."

Tansy: She fold\s her hands together looking between Richard and Jenn. "Richard, we are trying not to let her in on who else might be in the city, so announcing yourself she could end up manipulating you like she has tried to do us. SO bad idea number one. But what if someone else can find this thing?"

Elijah Phillips: Gives a nod and runs his hand down tansy's back again. Making sure the girl is alright.

Jenn "Baby Death" Illsen: "Well, we don't even know where it is, Tans." She looks toward the girl with a shrug. "It could be in Abu-Dhabi for all we know."

Tansy: Oh Tansy is doing fine now. "Well." she licks her lips. "What ~if~ there was a way to determine where it is. And I doubt that Zagho" yeah she has been listening to Eli too much. "Would be here looking for it if it wasn't prolly close."

Richard DiPrima: *breathes deeply and closes his eyes to calm himself down* "Who else in the city knows that the sword is being searched for?"

Elijah Phillips: Gives a shrug and leans back on his elbows "I could as her.. see how close she is to finding it."

Elijah Phillips: Eli points around the room "You guys.. The only other people I told were Vic and Tom.."

Tansy: Tansy shrugs to Richards question. "I dunno."

Silkie: *A knock on the door is followed by the screeee of nails.*

Jenn "Baby Death" Illsen: She raises her eyebrows and looks over toward the door.

Elijah Phillips: Eli cringes slight and pushes himself up from the bed. He shakes his head and flashes a grin.. suspecting he knows who it is. Makes a strut for the door.

Tansy: She winces shruging her shoulders to hide her ears unsucessfully.

Silkie: *Rattles the door knob.*

Elijah Phillips: Gives a slight laugh and unlocks the door, letting her in "Thought it was you, love.." Closes the door behind the girl.

Jenn "Baby Death" Illsen: She lets Eli get the door, and looks to Richard. "You may wanna look Meli up. Jarod, I mean. Homeboy's had it rough the past few months. His Thrall got deaded, and Cernunnos seems to have targeted his chick-pea."

Richard DiPrima: *frowns* "I will. So who is this Tom?" ((sorry, connection AGAIN *sighs*))

Elijah Phillips: He turns with a nod to Baby "The lord absolutely deSPIses our house. I wouldn't be at all surprised if he did it purely for fun."

Tansy: She smiles as Silkie enters giving the girl a wave.

Silkie: "How did you know?" Giving Eli a hug and looking past him at all the people. "Are you having a party?"

Silkie: "Hi Tansy." Looks towards Richard when he mentions Tom.

Tansy: She gives a worried look to Eli, now she knows why she is not more involved in things.

Jenn "Baby Death" Illsen: "Thomas. He's a Devil." She looks to the door, her face positively beaming as she sees Silkie. "You!" She gets up, conversation ignored, and heads toward the girl, arms stretched out as if she's a very animated zombie. "Hug, hug, hug!"

Tansy: She giggles at Jenn.

Elijah Phillips: Gives Silkie and tight hug then makes his way back over to tansy "Tom's... alright. I'll see that you meet him."

Richard DiPrima: *looks rather confused at the newcomer and the associated behavior*

Silkie: Looks a little cautiously at Baby Death, then hugs her too. "Hi."

Elijah Phillips: Takes his seat on the edge of the bed, again dangling his legs girlishly from the edge and grinning foward to silkie "Silkie.. This is Richard." Motions over to Richard before leaning back against his elbows.

Jenn "Baby Death" Illsen: He wraps her arms tightly around Silkie. "I been worried about you, kiddo. Been wanting to catch up with you, see how you've been since...ya know...but I was worried your friends might object."

Richard DiPrima: DD>Richard is an Italian man, in his mid thirties. He has light brown hair and blue eyes, and despite his limp, he's clearly a strong man. He leans upon a cane when he stands or walks, and stands at about 5'10" tall, weighing perhaps 180 pounds; he could perhaps make an imposing figure of himself. However, he isn't. He gives off the impression of someone who doesn't quite understand what's going on around him, but who's trying desperately to figure it out.

Tansy: "Richard that is Silkie, and she is cool." she smiles at him. The two girls looks remarkable alike all things considering, Violet eyes curly black hair, complexions even somewhat the same.

Richard DiPrima: "Umm...hi..."

Elijah Phillips: Eli slides an arm around tansy's waist with a smile to the girl.

Silkie: A muffled "hi" for Richard, from within Baby Death's arms.

Silkie: The girl is cute. A wild mane of black curls frames a pixie’s face. Lips are pert and prone to smiling for no reason at all. Her deep amethyst eyes are bottomless windows to an ancient soul. She’s thin and athletic although not entirely without curves. She looks to be around seventeen.

Tansy: She smiles at Eli scooting closer to him.

Jenn "Baby Death" Illsen: She finally lets the girl go, looking at her. "Are we cool, hon?"

Silkie: Pets Baby Death's arm. "Yes. It wasn't your fault. I'm sorry I let it escape the knife. I don't usually talk to weapons." Rolling her lips. Clearly she thinks it was her own fault.

Elijah Phillips: Eli blinks up to tansy, remembering something "Oh, love.. do you know a samantha, michelle or arlett?"

Richard DiPrima: *looks very very confused right now, but stays silent*

Tansy: She raises an eyebrow to Eli."ummmm..."she nibbles on her lip "why?"

Jenn "Baby Death" Illsen: She seems mightly relieved. "Wasn't your fault, Silkie. You didn't know that the fucker would come through. None of us did."

Silkie: Glances at Eli.

Elijah Phillips: Leans back a bit, looking at tansy still "Because they were very rude to a friend of mine.."

Silkie: Beams up at Baby Death. "I'm okay now, though. My friends fixed me."

Silkie: Whispers in Baby Death's ear.

Jenn "Baby Death" Illsen: She smiles to Silkie. "I'm glad, babe." She throws an arm over Silkie's shoulders, looking over to Eli and Tansy.

Silkie -> Jenn "Baby Death" Illsen: "Is Richard like you and Eli?"

Silkie: Turns curious eyes on Richard... and the cane.

Jenn "Baby Death" Illsen: She nods to Silkie with a smile. "Yeah."

Tansy: She blinks. "Okay....well maybe they aren't the ones I know....who were they rude to? I dunno their reasons for doing anything that they do, so I cannot say why or what not." damn did she say too much. ((Yes people at this point it is "Welcome to new York you have officially met Tansy"))

Richard DiPrima: *meets Silkie's look* "Yes?"

Richard DiPrima: ((Used to be Charles *G*...well, Charles and Arlett...))

Jenn "Baby Death" Illsen: "I wouldn't say RUDE, necessarily...pointing the gun wasn't nice, I'll admit, but it was more fear then anything else." She takes a drag from her clove.

Silkie: Her eyes travel slowly over Richard from head to foot, before she meets his eyes. "Umm, hi?"

Tansy: She looks over to Jenn. "You met em?" she blinks at her. then nibbles on her lip. "What may I ask what the....circumstances and when didcha meet up with em?" she is worried again.

Richard DiPrima: "Hello."

Elijah Phillips: Blinks over to Baby with a wide grin "I think it was uncalled for.. YOU were the one who knew what was going on and had a reason for being there.."

Tansy: mutters. "Maybe they had a reason as well."

Silkie: Eli> "People do strange things when they're frightened. Sometimes mean things, but that doesn't make them bad."

Jenn "Baby Death" Illsen: She shrugs to Eli. "Yeah, but I can kinda understand the wariness." She looks at Tansy. "Scene of a slaughter in Brooklyn. They were investigating...I was already there when they stopped in. I went invisible and watched, and they somehow sensed me. The Samantha woman pointed a gun at me, and then they drove like a bat out of hell out of there."

Tansy: She smiles at Silkie words. "Your right Silkie."

Tansy: She scratches her head. "They were frightened of ya...I dunno what to say." she sighs deeply.

Silkie: "Was it the Devourer?" Looking up at Baby Death.

Silkie: Shoots a smile at Tansy.

Elijah Phillips: Eli gives a shrug leaning back and letting the grin slip from his face "They were scared based on ignorant notions.."

Jenn "Baby Death" Illsen: "Pretty sure, Silkie." She nods. "And another nasty little bitch. Neither of them are good news."

Richard DiPrima: *just listens, thinking*

Jenn "Baby Death" Illsen: She looks at Eli. "Ouest, girl. Let's say you come across the scene of a horrific slaughter...and believe me, horrific it was. You're on edge, wary, and everything. Then you sense that someone's been there the whole time, watchin' ya. What would you do? Stop and make introductions, or take defensive actions?" She shrugs. "Not like that DID shoot..."

Tansy: She shakes her head. "If she met them before..." she let's the scentance trail off. "They were scared, didn't know what she was mebee. When you are faced with something you do not know or....have never come across before, it is hard to accept. Somepeople live in a box, not believing in a lot of things. It is ....difficult when presented with the truth to get them to see." she sounds dissapointed.

Silkie: Eases closer to Richard as she addresses Baby Death. "The Devourer chased us once."

Richard DiPrima: *watches as Silkie approaches, arching an eyebrow in curiosity*

Jenn "Baby Death" Illsen: "Yeah, 'setsu's a real bi-atch, babe." She nods to Silkie.

Tansy: At that she looks to Eli. "Been thinking of having ya look at the scar, you know ."

Silkie: She settles on the couch beside Richard, on the side with the cane.

Elijah Phillips: ((sorry about the delay. had to put the husband to bed.))

Richard DiPrima: *remains quiet, but looks over at Silkie, who is now sitting next to him, then to the others as they discuss this incident*

Elijah Phillips: Nods over to tansy, giving her waist a squeeze "FABulous, love.."

Silkie: Lightly sets a hand on Richard's thigh, and runs it, almost sensuously, down to his knee, feeling the course of his muscles.

Richard DiPrima: *turns to Silkie* "Cut that out."

Jenn "Baby Death" Illsen: She raises an eyebrow at Silkie. Was she always that touchy-feely?

Elijah Phillips: Eli looks over to silkie and Richard with a surpressed giggle, cocking his brow at the man.

Tansy: She smiles leaning into Eli's side. "Thought you would like hearing it, it being summer and all I dun want people to start askin questions about it." she looks over to Richard. "Yeah the devourer taged me, luckily Victor and Eli and Silkie and another were there." she smiles back down at Eli.

Silkie: Snatches her hand back, looking up at Richard. "Are you afraid of me?"

Richard DiPrima: "No. I would just prefer you not touch me like that."

Elijah Phillips: Looks to Richard with an obvioisly fake serious look plastered to his face "I think you could take her if you really wanted to, love."

Tansy: She raises an eyebrow looking at Silkie and Richard, a smile creeping back onto her face.

Silkie: Rich> "Did it hurt?"

Richard DiPrima: "No."

Jenn "Baby Death" Illsen: She chuckles a little bit at the back-and-forth...then sighs, suddenly. "Yes?"

Tansy: She pats Eli's leg and stands up from the bed and walksover to grab something to drink. "Can I get anyone else anything?"

Silkie: Rich> "Can I see you naked?"

Jenn "Baby Death" Illsen: She looks at the side of the bed, frowning a little, as she listens to something.

Richard DiPrima: "No, you cannot."

Tansy: She can't help but giggle at that one.

Elijah Phillips: Eli's pretty eye's widen and he can't help but bust out laughing. "Silkie, love.. Leave him alone.." Pats the bed and grins to the girl "Come here before you scare the man.."

Silkie: Tansy> "I'd like something." Eyes going to the tempting collection of pretty bottles Eli keeps behind the bar.

Silkie: Abandons Richard to go sit beside Eli.

Jenn "Baby Death" Illsen: "Well, actually, I'm kind of busy doing something." A pause. "Trying to find the fucking Earthbound that you've been doing dick to find."

Elijah Phillips: Eli drapes his long arm over silkie pulling her into a tight hug. He blinks over to Baby with a flash of concern.

Tansy: She knows silkie and her facination with the bottles so she grabs the girl a soda, and herself a juice. She heads back to the bed handing Silkie the soda and sits on the other side of Eli, and opens the juice bottle taking a sip.

Richard DiPrima: *rubs his index finger, then curses under his breath and looks down at the slightly lighter skin than that around it* "I can't believe I forgot it when you called..."

Silkie: Looks at Baby Death and whispers to Eli, "Who's she talking to?"

Tansy: She looksoverto Richard. "Forgot what?"

Silkie: Takes the soda. "Thanks Tansy."

Tansy: Smiles to Silkie. "Yep anytime sweet heart."

Elijah Phillips: Eli grins and drapes his other arm around tansy. He shakes his head gently "Just let her talk, love."

Jenn "Baby Death" Illsen: A sigh. "No, I'm sure that wandering the streets trying to find some fucking newbie who's ass I can wipe is just as important as finding a threat to all of Creation and neutralizing it. I'll get right on it." She snaps her focus back to the room, shaking her head. "Fucking cockblock."

Silkie: Pats Eli's thigh, and glances at Richard.

Richard DiPrima: "Wedding band. Perhaps if I hadn't forgotten it, I wouldn't have been pawed at by a teenager."

Silkie: "Cockblock?"

Tansy: "Oh." she says to Richard as she sips at the juice.

Jenn "Baby Death" Illsen: She smiles a little at Richard. "You know, some people forget wedding bands on purpose so that can be pawed at by teenagers." There's still anger in her face, but not directed to the room.

Elijah Phillips: Gives a slight laugh to Richard "I don't think that would have changed a thing, love." Blinks over to Baby with a bit of a nod. Eyes curious.

Silkie: Blinks at Richard, not getting the point at all.

Richard DiPrima: "Well, none of THEM are the Embodiment of the Forge."

Jenn "Baby Death" Illsen: She looks to Eli. "Tyrant's got a new wetback for me to find and talk to. I guess I should go deal with it, so I can get it out of the way and move to the important business."

Elijah Phillips: Cocks a brow to richard "Then forge yourself a damn ring and quit whining about it, love. She didn't mean anything by it.. She's just a bit.. curious is all." Leans down to kiss the top of silkie's head.

Elijah Phillips: Nods to Baby "You do what you have to, I suppose. I trust he'll call me if he needs me.." Gives a slight laugh shaking his head "Though I seriously doub that'll happen any time soon."

Richard DiPrima: *shrugs* "I'll just have to remember it next time. Is there anything else for this meeting, or are we done?"

Silkie: Looks up at Eli. "I didn't hurt him."

Tansy: She remains quiet listeninv to the conversations. she gives a smile to Jenn." sometimes work is never done."

Silkie: "I was just feeling."

Jenn "Baby Death" Illsen: She nods to Eli, moving to hug him, then Tansy and Silkie in turn. "I'll see y'all later...take care." She smiles at Richard. "Nice meeting you, Rick. Don't think ya gotta leave on my account. I just have work to do."

Tansy: She smiles at Sil;kie. "I know...some people just aren't used ta that is all."

Silkie: Tilts her head, studying Richard. "I might be able to fix your leg."

Silkie: "Bye, Baby Death." Returning the hug.

Tansy: She hugs Jenn. "Take care, see are around."

Richard DiPrima: *glances at Silkie* "I highly doubt it."

Elijah Phillips: Nods to Baby with a wide grin "It's been FABulous, love.. We really should get together more often." Flashes the girl a glittery wink.

Richard DiPrima: *to Baby* "I'll contact you once I've spoken to Jarod. Let me know when you go after the one seeking the Sword, ok?"

Tansy: Smiles to Richard. "You might be supprised at what Silkie can do."

Jenn "Baby Death" Illsen: A grin to Eli. "We should. Girl time is fun." She gives her a wink, then moves to head out.

Silkie: Smiles at Tansy's support.

Jenn "Baby Death" Illsen: "All righty, Rick." And she's gone. ((I'm out. I have a scene to ST tomorrow, and it's gonna be a doozy, so I'm stepping away from my comp for the night so as to give me a chance to mentally defrag, cleanup, virus scan, and reboot. See y'all!))

Elijah Phillips: Eli blinks down from silkie to richard with a thoughtful look on his face "Hmm.. I.." Looks back to silkie "I don't know if you could, love.."

Richard DiPrima: (('night Rav *waves*))

Elijah Phillips: ((*G* thanks for the scene, rav.))

Jenn "Baby Death" Illsen: ((*Poofs*))

Richard DiPrima: "It's quite alright...it's only a problem when I'm in this form, and having the cane can come in handy sometimes."

Silkie: ((Nighters!))
