Fangwulf: *As the
door slams shut behind Adele, the trunk slowly creaks open, and a small slimy
figure slithers along the top of it. It looks up, and one eye pushes out from
the mess.* Miss... please... proceed... with... caution...
gargoylegrl: (*waveths*)
Adele Elizabeth Hamilton: She slowly
arches a brow, and nods respectfully. "I fully intend upon doing so, but I thank
you for the gracious advice. Did you perchance happen to see or otherwise know
what has occurred?"
Fangwulf: *The eye
blinks.* Yesssss... the... creator... has... gone... mad.
Adele Elizabeth Hamilton: "Gone mad?" She
frowns a little bit. "Oh. Dear."
Fangwulf: The...
creator... came... in... with... iron... that... burned. The... two... faced...
protects... the... owner. Safe... yet... asleep. *One more eye pokes out.* I...
guard. Chased... them... away... and... devoured... the... sleeping. Proceed.
Adele Elizabeth Hamilton: She gives a
slight nod, and then bows her shoulders slightly. "Again, my gratitude." She
steps forward, to head on into the depths of the place.
gargoylegrl: *once
inside the 'confines' of the trunk, the lid thuds shut, echoing slightly down
the inky black dank stairway that leads further in, the trek down the stairs and
into the hallway as she goes eerily silent, almost dead silent except for her
own movements and heartbeat and breathing*
Adele Elizabeth Hamilton: She frowns a
little bit, looking up to the lid, and then progresses onward. She moves quietly
and slowly, trying to seek out anything that may come into her field of vision.
She says nothing yet, not wishing to draw too much attention to herself.
gargoylegrl: (per
alert please*G*)
Adele Elizabeth Hamilton:
d10: Per+Alert-Abil Apt.: 4,3,4,5,3,8,
gargoylegrl: *shes
within absolute shadow, but....the oddest sensation, like the shadows about her
along the close wall confines of the hallway are moving almost, a hard thing to
see even for a sluagh, shadow on shadow, but...that sensation clings about
her,hauntingly so once she notices it, growing more clausterphobic like almost
the closer she gets to the usually dimly lit room sure to be just ahead*
Adele Elizabeth Hamilton: She shivers a
little bit, but progresses onward. Wary and almost wishing the damned pooka had
come with. It would have been nice to have someone to walk ahead, to be a
trapspringer.
Fangwulf: *No traps. In
the pitch black, with the near slippery stone stairs leading down into the main
room that only those who had been here before would know, how would one possibly
see? Other than the sluagh, those who know the underworld best. Perhaps she can
see a shadow laying on the table, and truly - it looks dead. His eyes are open
only slightly, and he is pale enough. He is very still, across the wooden table,
ancient, that has served so many guests. One candle is lit, and slowly melting
as well. One can see the reflection of the flame on a teapot.*
Adele Elizabeth Hamilton: She tilts her
head and draws closer to the table, to get a better view of the person who lies
across it.
Fangwulf: *He looks
pale, almost dead. Bruised. HEaling slashes the only color across him. Elias,
most assuredly.*
gargoylegrl: *as
she gets close to the table and the shadowy dead looking elias laying there she
hears a light metallic 'clickclickclickclickclick' sound behind her but within
the room, and a hoarse papery whisper of a breath being drawn as it gets
closer,the flame of the candle flickering with unseen movement somewhere nearby*
Adele Elizabeth Hamilton: She looks over
Elias, a touch of...dear Lord, concern?...passing over her face. She leans in
close, looking him over, and then draws back to look around. "Miss Soren?" The
whisper carries as far as it ever does, though she hopes if Rebekkah is here,
she may be able to hear it.
gargoylegrl: *a
literally ghost of a pale face seen by what miniscule bit of light there is
suddenly appears before her face , the immense dark eyes with an almost glittery
sheen to them, and cold....very cold...the almost sibilant hoarse papery whisper
issuing from thin tight lips of stern severity* leeeeave him beeee......
Adele Elizabeth Hamilton: She regards the
woman calmly, nodding. "I had no intention of disturbing his rest. What has
happened here?" Confirmation is never a bad thing.
gargoylegrl:
*that soft 'clickclickclickclickclick' sound comes again, from the looming
ghostly cold sluagh before her, or about where her hands should be, an almost
agitated sound before she harshly whispers out*....injusssssticcce....an
attack.......but, he wasss the only witnesssss
Adele Elizabeth Hamilton: "Of course," she
murmurs dryly. "That would make perfect sense." She keeps a touch of distance
from Rebekkah, well aware of how dangerous the other is right now. "I offer my
services in whatever way you may desire, of course."
gargoylegrl:
*hematite eyes narrowing, but the thin lips gain a cruel almost grin at the
corners seeing adele keep that distance* can you heeeal?
Adele Elizabeth Hamilton: A slight
downward tug of her lips follows the question. "Pardon...allow me to reword that
statement. I offer what services I am able to provide in any way that you may
desire, of course. And regrettably, healing is not one of them."
Hardy "Trevallion" Collins (Fae PM): ((Open?))
Adele Elizabeth Hamilton: ((Pretty sure
it's closed. *S*))
Fangwulf: ((Miiiiight
be bad if Hardy joins on this one. Sorry...))
gargoylegrl: (definately
closed, sorry*G*)
Hardy "Trevallion" Collins (Fae PM): ((*G* Damn.
Well, a man can hope, cain't he? I'll try and bug y'all later, then.))
gargoylegrl: do you
have waysss.....to protect thisss placccce then..........and eliassss, iffff I
leave?*looming closer towards adele*
Adele Elizabeth Hamilton: She regards the
other calmly, meeting her gaze. "Any creature who would try to enter and gain
either Elias or any secrets would not depart."
gargoylegrl:

*one of these sharp wicked things comes up to adeles chin, slowly so, from a
glove with fingers tipped with them, and meg keeps that looming closeness with
dead sincereity in her voice* then protect thisss place, with your life,...or
you will losssse it....
Adele Elizabeth Hamilton: She remains
still and nods slightly. "I would protect it with nothing else."
gargoylegrl: *her
head twitches, almost as if shes flinching inwardly at something, and as if shes
fighting herself the wicked sharp thing lowers, the eyes turn that soft solid
black, and its bekkah she hears* miss 'dele....go.....'fore she gets out an
tries t'find whatevah did this t' elias on her own....*the eyes are fearful* she
wont leave this place less someones heyah t'guard.......*the lips shut as her
head twitches and winces more*
Adele Elizabeth Hamilton: She raises her
eyebrow...whether she thinks the insane part of Rebekkah getting out is a bad
thing or not is almost in question. She purses her lips, considering it. "Is
there anything you may offer in terms of aid in learning who has done this?
Anything at all?"
gargoylegrl:
go...please....*pleading now....begging in the strained voice fighting to be
heard* m'shadowy friends'll go with...*that suffocating shadow slides across the
floor like black blood on its own towards adele* they were heyah.....
Adele Elizabeth Hamilton: She nods
finally. "Very well. I shall be back. Good evening, Miss Soren." She moves to
slip toward the hallway to exit.
Fangwulf: ((And that's
a wrap!))
Adele Elizabeth Hamilton: ((Thanks for the
scene. *S*))
