Mimi Haggart:
Elijah is down on the floor, mingling with the patrons as per usual on a Friday
night. Jay is out getting groceries and other supplies, but promised he'd be
back to whoever was around. Mimi shows up around 12:45, roughly 30 minutes after
she cut the invocation with Casey. She's wearing a long purple patchwork type
skirt, an oversized black tank top and shawl. No bag or books tonight it seems.
She have a lazy, semi drunk look about her. Tired and a bit partied out, even
for the early hour.
Mimi Haggart: Oh. And
Leon is out. He hasn't been seen in a few days at the very least by people
outside his circle.
Laurel Hensley: She's at the bar, dressed
in a low-cut black tank top and red short skirt. Hair's up in a bun, glasses on
her face as she pours over the maps. She looks up when Mimi comes in, nodding to
her. "Hey."
Mimi Haggart: She
nods to Laurel, rubbing her eyes a bit. She moves behind the bar to get a glass
of water. "Hey.. I take it Casey called you already?"
Laurel Hensley: "Yeah." She nods a little
bit. "Gave me the heads up on Ana. We have a bit of a window of opportunity, it
seems."
Casey Iver: *Casey makes his way
purposefully up into the lounge area. He is dressed as normal, however he seems
slightly bulkier then normal his chest standing out a good inch or two more then
normal. He has a smile on his face but he holds a serious air to him as he makes
his way into the room* "Evenin ladies"
Mimi Haggart: She
nods, pouring her water and downing it thirstily. "Yeah.. looks.. awefully
convenient.." She speculates, skeptically.
Mimi Haggart: She
nods to Casey. "Evening, Iver."
Casey Iver: *He nods to them but then he
raises an eyebrow* "Ya think it seems convenient?"
Mimi Haggart: She
shrugs, downing the rest of her water. "I.. I don't know. You kinda caught me
off guard. I haven't put much thought into it yet.. Gimme a second.." She says
lazily. Turning around to open the refrigerator.
Laurel Hensley: "Casey." She nods to the
Fiend, then looks back to the...other Fiend. That being Mimi. "I know it does.
It rather screams 'set-up.' And we certainly need someone a bit
more...experienced in combat then us, I think. But is it something we can really
turn down?"
Casey Iver: *He shakes his head* "I don
think we can leave her there much longer, shes already been there several weeks.
Any longer an its our faul for no actin when we know where she is...regardless a
tha danger"
Mimi Haggart: She
nods, pulling out stuff to make a sandwich. "I know.. I know. Well.. who do you
guys know who can handle themselves if the shit hits the fan? I'm.. not a
fighter. By any means."
Mimi Haggart: She
quickly makes a sandwich, looking to get something on her stomach if she's to do
anything other than speculate.
Laurel Hensley: "Any longer and it's our
fault?" She raises a brow, then shrugs. "As to who can handle themselves...well.
There's Phillip, for one."
Mimi Haggart: "The
slayer, right? That works.. I could call Jay. I think Urian has Leon busy
tonight.. but if we HAD to have him along.. I'm sure I could swing something."
She looks up from her sandwich. "Are we.. going in quietly?"
Laurel Hensley: ((Emphasis in that first
sentance was on "longer." i.e., "Any ~longer~ and it's our fault?"))
Mimi Haggart: Mimi
rubs her forehead with a tired hand. "It.. doesn't matter whose fault it is..
the only thing that matters is what we do about it."
Casey Iver: "It woul be our falut for leavin
her there, tha is all i mean." *He counts off the number of fallen in his head.*
"I woul say we try ta go in quietly...don need ta be launchin a frontal assault
or anythin do we?"
Laurel Hensley: "Quiet would be
preferable, yes." She nods. "I'd rather not have to guarantee a fight."
Mimi Haggart: She
shakes her head no. "Laurel.. you have the map, right?" She starts eating her
sandwich.
Casey Iver: *He considers something for a
moment* "Perhaps a distraction woul be helpful? Somethin ta distract tha
children as well as tha staff?"
Laurel Hensley: She holds it up. "Right
here. Shed's in the garden, right behind the girl's dorm and in the chapel.
Casey, you said it was another girl leading her in...could be the imposter,
another Fallen, or someone that Alphonsus has wrapped around her finger."
Mimi Haggart: She
nods, looking over to the map. Squinting at the thing. "The girls are probably
in their dorms by now. No need to wake them up if we don't have to. If she's in
the shed.. is there any way we can get around, over, under, or through that
fence in the back? Do we know how tall it is?"
Laurel Hensley: "Possibly. There's an old
apartment complex on that side...fince is tall, but wood."
Casey Iver: "If theres a gate i can get us
through it with little problem, they won even know we came through there." *He
says looking over the map.* "Locks will no be a problem"
Laurel Hensley: "Beyond the wooden fence
is a smaller fence around the garden...cast iron. About four feet high...should
be easier to climb over." She looks at Casey. "Realize that the second we use
our Lores, there's no point in being quiet anymore. They'll likely be onto us."
Mimi Haggart: She
nods, squinting down to the map quietly. Eating. "Laurel's right. The last thing
we need is setting off any infernal alarms. Though.. climbing.. I uh.. That's
not really my thing. I could try.. but I don't know how quiet I could be."
Casey Iver: *He frowns* "Aye...your right.
Bu how do ya suggest we get in pass tha first fence then?"
Mimi Haggart: "Bring
a ladder?" She offers.
Laurel Hensley: "Ladder's not going to be
good on the stealth." She frowns and thinks. "We could always try and pick it. I
think I've still got Jarod's picks around here somewhere..."
Mimi Haggart: She
rubs her forehead. "Jesus.. all the powers of creation and we can't work a
fucking privacy fence. Mental note.. instead of housing virgins.. we need to
house more mortal deviants. They'd be a LOT more useful in these types of
situations.."
Mimi Haggart: "We're
going in through the front? Do you know if they have any kind of alarms?"
Laurel Hensley: "That's...not information
I have, no." She shakes her head, frowning. "I was figuring on trying to get
over that wooden fence somehow...maybe a distraction would be good."
Casey Iver: *Casey cant help but chuckle at
Mimi's comments* "I can jus get a pair of bolt cutters, tha would be quick an
relatively quiet."
Casey Iver: "IF ya wan a distraction i can
go in in uniform an question them regardin runaways, the reports i dug up said
they had been questioned abou them regularly enough."
Mimi Haggart: She
cocks a brow. "How are bolt cutters going to help with a tall wooden fence..
iver?"
Casey Iver: "Tha lock can be striped out
with a pair, an if tha doesnt work we can take a couple of drills or
screwdrivers to remove any hinges" *He says* "Course it all depends on wha kind
of lock is on tha fense."
Laurel Hensley: She looks at Casey.
"Except that, as I recall, you've been face-to-face with the imposter, right?
When he was faking Phllip, with Beth. If he or she's the person you question,
well..." He shrugs. "It's a risk, if you're willing to take it."
Mimi Haggart: She
purses her lips. "The old.. use the fiend as bait method.. It's.. effective. If
you wanted to do that at the front, Jay and Laurel could sneak over the fence in
the back, I bet. This phillip.. he can cross the viel?"
Laurel Hensley: "The lock is on the cast
iron fence around the garden. The only door on the wooden fence, I imagine, is
up front."
Laurel Hensley: "He can," she says with
a nod to Mimi and a smile. "Which will be an easy way to get him over...though
again, when he comes through, it'll be noticed. And likely...it will be ~quite~
noticed."
Mimi Haggart: "I'm
just saying.. it'd be good to have eyes on the other side. He can lead you and
jay to where you need to be.. hopefully undetected." She looks to Iver "Do you
know if she's alone in the shed?"
Laurel Hensley: "True." She nods.
Casey Iver: *He shakes his head* "I don
know, things werent clear enough for tha. Though considerin tha size of it i
would think she would be." *He turns back to laurel* "I am willin ta take tha
risk, for all they know im there on official buisness an have no idea who they
are. Tha an ill be better armed then then any other time if somethin shoul go
wrong"
Mimi Haggart: She
frowns, rubbing her forehead. "Let's.. avoid shooting up the clergy, eh?"
Casey Iver: *He nods* "Aye i have no desire
ta do so, bu if they happen ta attack me, i won hesitate ta respond in kind."
Mimi Haggart: She
looks over to Laurel. "Let's.. go ahead and get phillip here. May as well get
this party started.. I'll contact jay."
Mimi Haggart: She
moves off with her sandwich to get some privacy. Mumbling under her breath.
Laurel Hensley: "Sure." She leans back,
looking off in the distance. "Sotitereal. We need your help with something."
Phillip Lark -> Laurel Hensley: "Melioth." Phillip
is walking through a cemetary. A grin "Need my help. Hmmmm, okay." he shrugs. "Whatcha
need?"
Casey Iver: *Casey walks around behind the
bar and grabs himself a bottle of water and cracks it open walking over to a
chair and begins writing out some notes on pieces of paper from his notepad*
Laurel Hensley: "We're going mortal
rescuing. Getting Ana...we're gonna need a set of eyes where you excel at having
them. On the other side. You in?"
Mimi Haggart: Mimi
keeps her voice low. Taking feeble bites from her sandwich.
Phillip Lark -> Laurel Hensley: He pauses and
scratches at the light stubble on his cheek. "That's the other one right? He
shrugs, I could use the leg strech. Sure I am in, you know me always up for a
little.....fun." Another grin. "So where should I meet you at?"
Laurel Hensley: She smirks some. "Here
would be best. Pedal to the metal...we're moving soon."
Casey Iver: *He looks over at laurel* "So
are we gonna go with tha distraction? Or no?"
Mimi Haggart: Mimi
pulls a cell phone from her purse and dials a number, meandering back toward the
bar. Wandering. "Hey.. Emil? I need a van. Get down to the club and park in the
lot." She pauses with a tiny sigh. "No.. urian's not here. Look.. you owe me..
now stop being a bitch and just get it here. Bring some blankets."
Phillip Lark -> Laurel Hensley: "Kay." he startes
heading for the exit of the cemetary and his car. "Be there asafp." He waves his
hand in the air as if saying goodbye and disconnects.
Laurel Hensley: "Distraction, yeah." She
nods a little. "You play good cop, we play bad robbers."
Mimi Haggart: She
hands up the phone, looking between the two of them. "Emil's driving. What..
should I do?"
Casey Iver: *He nods and stands.* "Alrigh
then i will be back in a moment i need ta get some things outta my car." *With
that he stands and heads for the door*
Laurel Hensley: "Mimi, I need you here.
Someone's got to watch over Maria and Beth while we're all out."
Mimi Haggart: She
nods. "I can do that. Jay's on his way a few blocks down. And Emil should be
downstairs with the van in ten."
Casey Iver: *Casey steps out for a few
minutes and then comes back in carrying a car radio reciever set and his
uniform.* "I jus need ta change an ill be ready."
Laurel Hensley: "Perfect. Thanks, Mimi."
She smiles to the girl and then rises, folding the map up. "I'd better change
into something a bit more fence-climable then this." She moves off to the other
room to change into a pair of jeans and dark T-Shirt.
Mimi Haggart: She
smiles, moving to take a seat.
Phillip Lark: Phillip would be the last to arrive,
as per usual he was the furthest away, so it took him a while to get there.
Spiked black hair, stubble on his jaw, as if he hasn't had a chance to shave yet
today. Dressed in all black.
Laurel Hensley: Once changed, she slips
downstairs, finding Eli to quietly inform him of the situation.
Phillip Lark: ((ooops, sorry for early arrival in
the scene hit post instead of update *Wince*))
Casey Iver: *Casey moves off to the washroom
for a few minutes leaving the radio on the bar. He comes back out in full
uniform, gear and all looking much different but still friendly.* "I have a good
feelin about this." *He says to Mimi as he walks over to the radio and begins
changing some settings on it as well as on his personal unit*
Mimi Haggart -> Laurel Hensley:
Eli would tell Laurel that he's telling all bouncers
and security types to be on the lookout for anything odd. Just in case the
imposter tries anything funny. Camaras are on. He'd kiss her goodbye and promise
to help hold the fort here.
Laurel Hensley -> Mimi Haggart:
She smiles and kisses him back, thanking him and
promising she'll be back soon, before heading back upstairs to gather.
Mimi Haggart: Jay
arrives before Phillip. Dressed in his usual black t-shirt and camo pants. Army
surplus jacket, due to the weather. Long hair tied back as not to get in the
way.
Laurel Hensley: She nods to Jay when he
arrives, smiling to him. "Hey. So, Mimi filled you in on the plan?"
Mimi Haggart: Jay
nods to Laurel, reaching into his pocket to see how sharp his buck knife is.
"Scale the fence.. snatch ana from the shed.. don't be seen.. no lores."
Casey Iver: *Casey turns and walks over to
Jay with a smile* "Don think we've met before fella. I'll be tha distraction for
the evenin." *He says as he holds out his hand*
Laurel Hensley: "Bingo." She nods a little
bit. "And Casey provides the distraction...Phillip's watching our back on the
other side."
Mimi Haggart: He
looks Casey over. "Oh. You're the front man. Try not to do anything stupid.." He
mumbles.
Casey Iver: *He grins* "I do this sorta
thing for a living fella. Trust me i know my part."
Mimi Haggart: He
looks back over to Laurel. "You can climb?"
Laurel Hensley: "Not gonna be ninja
running up the fence, but I can climb, yeah."
Phillip Lark: ((Just let me know when I should have
Phillip officially enter, then they can get on their way *S*))
Mimi Haggart: (Oo. my
bad. Cue the phillip entry!)
Phillip Lark: At the appropriate time Phillip makes
his way upstairs, glancing to the closed bedroom doors and half hurrying by them
into the main room. Shoulders slumped a touch. He looks at people, finally
settling on Laurel. "Ready."
Mimi Haggart: Jay
nods, putting his buck knife back in his pocket. Starts to move toward the exit.
Casey Iver: *Casey nods to phillip his eyes
narrowing a little reflexively even though he knows this isnt the same guy*
Laurel Hensley: "Beaut." She nods to
Phillip. "Same plan as last time we went on rescue...we'll drop you off a few
blocks away, so you can slip over without attracting attention. Work?" She
starts to move along with Jay.
Casey Iver: *Casey picks up the radio
reciever and begins heading towards the door as well. Before leaving he turns to
Mimi.* "Back in a bit, want anythin while were out" *He says with a smile*
Phillip Lark: He nods his head. "Works for me." a
grin at Laurel, eyeing the cop up and down and then turning to make his way out
as well.
Mimi Haggart: She
nods to Casey. "Yeah. Bring me back an unscathed virgin. And some donuts if you
have time."
Casey Iver: "Aye we'll see wha we can
do." *He says with a wave and then he heads downstairs*
Laurel Hensley: She moves along with Jay,
down to the van. She's got a calm, serious look on her face as she approaches it
and gets in. Quiet...preparing herself.
Phillip Lark: He climbs in afgter Laurel, no banter
this time unlike last time. Although he does stop at his car and pull out a hand
towel that looks wrapped into a roll. And he set's his bundle on his lap once he
is in the van.
Mimi Haggart: Jay
takes a seat in the back, assuming that Laurel is better suited to give
directions than him. Emil looks around, waiting for orders. Van running.
Casey Iver: *Casey follows and sets the
radio reciever in the van.* "Use this ta contact me when its all said an done...tha
way i can get out with an excuse alrigh?" *He says as he hops in.*
Laurel Hensley: She looks at Emil, giving
him a nod, and then starts directing him. She makes sure to have him stop a few
blocks early for Phillip, and looks back to the man. "She's in the shed in the
garden in back. Get in there and let us know what you can see. A lack of
surprises would be nice."
Phillip Lark: Phillip goves a two fingered salute of
sorts. "Aye Aye Cap'en." he says with a wink to Laurel, he unwaprs the two
butcher knifes before hopping out, untucking his shirt so as to hide them
somewhat in his back pockets. Then jumps out of the van.
Mimi Haggart: Emil
seems adept at taking orders. He pulls out a few blocks early to let Phillip
out. When the van is stopped, he asks "Will it look suspiscious.. to drop the
cop off.. then loop around to the back? Or is he walking too?"
Casey Iver: *Casey hops from the Van.*
"I'll be walkin from here as well. I will radio to you just before i head into
the orhanage" *He says as he looks over to them before turning to move out.*
Laurel Hensley: "No, no looping back.
Casey, you're up too."
ScarletIris: He nods
and waits to be told where to go. Jay sits silently in the back.
Phillip Lark: Phillip will chose a good, darkened
place to slip into the shadows and beyond at. Standing straighter than he did
back at the club as he moves off.
Phillip Lark:
d10: Dex+Awareness: 7,5,3,9,9,9,
Laurel Hensley: Once they're out, she
directs Emil to pull up to the apartment complex to the side of the group home.
That's where they'll slip over.
Phillip Lark: ((Boooya baby! *Dances*))
ScarletIris: He does
so, parking wherever she indicates.
Casey Iver: *Casey heads for the orphanage
and when he gets near the doors he will radio back* "This is unit 12, im at the
orphange now" ((Sue me i dont know the proper language and slang for the radio:P))
*He will then knock on the door/gate or use the buzzer.*
Laurel Hensley: Once they're parked, she
looks over at Jay and nods. "C'mon." She slips out of the van, moving along the
side of the fence and looking for the best spot to climb over.
ScarletIris: Emil
looks down to the radio, then back to Jay. Jay frowns. "Jesus.. I hope he's not
going to give a play by play. Subtle.. asshole.. subtle.." He mumbles, stepping
up behind laurel's seat.
ScarletIris: He
follows Laurel out of the van. Emil waits, as instructed. What a good little
lapdog..
Laurel Hensley: When she finds a good
spot, hopefully near the garden, she looks up to the wall, then back to Jay. She
starts to count with her fingers, mouthing it... "One...two....three." And
starts to climb.
ScarletIris: Jay
follows her lead, jumping to climb the fence (dex+ath and dex+stealth)
ScarletIris:

she is reading a book. No one else around really."
ScarletIris:
d10: dont mind me: 3,3,8,4,6,4,
ScarletIris: They
both get over the fence easily enough. Quietly.. even. No alarms.. no dogs. No
raging demons so far. So.. it's all gravy, right? On the otherside, Jay and
Laurel will note that they're in the garden, on the right side of the cast iron
fence. They see the shed. Door closed. No windows that they can see.
Phillip Lark -> Laurel Hensley: "All looks clear for
your guys....." he will keep the connection open just to give them updates.
Laurel Hensley: She nods a little, and
leans in to whisper to Jay, damnnear silently. "Another girl inside. Reading."
ScarletIris: He
frowns at the thought of an unknown girl. Nodding. Following with a hand near
his buckknife. Just in case things got ugly.
ScarletIris:
d10: wp to resist: 5,8,8,8,10,10,4,
ScarletIris: The
nun.. has bigger rocks than Casey. She frowns at him, adamant in her words.
Laurel Hensley: She slips along to the
front door of the shed, taking one side of it. Keeping alert as she does. She
reaches out for the door to open/slide, looking to Jay and mouthing to three
again.
ScarletIris: Jay
watches. Waits for the cue.
ScarletIris: (per+alert
laurel)
Laurel Hensley:
d10: Per+Alertness: 4,1,9,8,3,
ScarletIris: Phillip
doesn't see anything out of the ordinary on the inside. Everything is as it was
before. They don't seem to notice the sneaky sneaky ones just outside. Laurel
does notice by gripping the door.. that the door is locked.
Laurel Hensley: Oh, for Lucifer's
sake... That's what the look on her face clearly shows. She looks to Jay a
moment, then shrugs, gesturing to knock and shrugging questioningly.
ScarletIris: Jay
frowns at Laurel. The look on his face.. clearly showing how useful he feels
defilers are in these kinds of situations. He bends down to pick the lock.
ScarletIris:
d10: locky picky wp: 6,10,6,7,9,
Laurel Hensley: She rolls her eyes and
waits.
Casey Iver: "We are just tryin ta make sure
she gets back to tha right place. Where she will be tha most comfortable, an
feel tha safest. I'm sure you know as well as i tha these kids need such
things."
ScarletIris: (wow..
and he.. uhh.. breathes on the lock.. and it pops open.) He smirks up to the
defiler and takes a step back. Letting her do the actual opening part.
Laurel Hensley: She gives him a little
thankful smile, and reaches out to take the handle, mouthing. One...two...three.
Open on three and head for the girl that's read as soon as she figures out who
it is, to clamp a hand over her mouth.
ScarletIris:
d10: p/a chicky poo: 5,6,4,7,4,9,
ScarletIris: (gimme a

Laurel Hensley:
d10: Dex+Athletics (WP): 7,7,2,2,
Casey Iver: "She was unwillin ta tell us
specifics an several things she did say were contradictory. She seemed very
hesitant, even afraid. We are worried tha somethin may have happened to her
while she had run away."
ScarletIris: The
girl sitting on the workbench drops her book, going wideeyed at the pair
entering the shed. Laurel easily takes her by surprise and cups a hand around
her mouth. She looks.. like she might cry or wet herself at any given moment.
Ana looks to be asleep on a pallet on the floor. Jay follows Laurel, standing in
the doorway to block any runners.
Phillip Lark: Phillip continues to be look out from
the other side. As well best as he can.
Laurel Hensley: "Do. Not. Move." she
whispers to the girl who's mouth she's got her hand over, and looks to Jay. "Get
Ana to the van. I've got this one covered until you do."
Laurel Hensley: She glances at the girl
also, as a precaution. Watching her, to see how legit her fear is.
Laurel Hensley:
d10: Per+Emp (vs five): 8,10,10,6,8,6,
ScarletIris: The girl
blinks, mumbling something under the hand. Trying to speak.. but.. of course..
unable to do so. Jay scoops up ana and tosses her over his shoulder.
ScarletIris -> Laurel Hensley:
Her fear? Entirely false. She looks furious.
Surprised. But by no means afraid. There's a lot of hate in this one. A lot of
rage.
ScarletIris: "Yes,
officer. I expect you to follow protocol. Especially.. at this hour. Good..
night." She says firmly. Closing the gate.
ScarletIris: Jay
moves out of the shed.. as Laurel instructed him to do.
Laurel Hensley: "Easy," she says quietly
to the girl. Her hand still wrapped around her mouth, she reaches up to pet over
her hair. "You're okay. I'm not going to hurt you as long as you behave." Hand
strokes the girl's hair...about to grab hold and twist. Neck-breakingly hard.
ScarletIris:
(initiative, all but casey)
Casey Iver: "I appologize if i prefer a
hands on approach Sister." *He says through the gate with a smile* "I just
prefer ta talk ta people face ta face. I find tha phone to be to impersonal in a
world tha needs us ta be more personable, more carin." *He tilts his hat at
her.*
Laurel Hensley:

ScarletIris: She
calls through the gate. "I'll keep that in mind while phoning your superiors.
I'm sure they'll be quite pleased to hear what a hands on approach you take with
the girls. Leave. Now. I'll not warn you again."
Phillip Lark: ((14))
ScarletIris:

ScarletIris: (Bah..
the roller is ALL about the good guys winning tonight. Alright. Order of
declaration: Sara (angry about to be broken girl), Phillip, Laurel. Jay is out
of combat until he notices something happening, right now he's out of the shed
toting ana to the van which will take several rounds. Casey is out of combat
until he notices something, which from the distance isn't likely. You all know
how combat works.. blah blah.. )
Casey Iver: *Casey nods and steps away,
heading off around the perimeter of the orphanage.*
ScarletIris: When
she feels the woman caudling her, she tries to break out of her grip. Otherwise
innocent eyes furious. (str+brawl for a breakaway)
ScarletIris:

Phillip Lark: Phillip continues to keep an eye out,
and is cleaning his finger nails with the tip of the butcher knife. ((Figure he
will not notice something happen until this round is over. Will have him act
next round if he can))
Laurel Hensley: She grits her teeth, eyes
going cold, and wrenches with all her strength. ((Break neck...strength+Brawl?))
ScarletIris: (*nods*)
Laurel Hensley:
d10: Str+Brawl (WP Three): 4,7,3,
ScarletIris: Recap:
Phillip doesn't yet notice that the seemingly innocent orphan is going to put up
much of a fight. Jay is busy toting ana off. Sara's breakaway was just enough to
keep her from getting her neck broken. The grip is broken, but it was a VERY
close call. (2 sux each, since its sara's neck in question i'd venture to guess
her as the defender.) Next Round, same order. Phillip can act.
ScarletIris:
Having broken away, Sara mumbles out a word. Nothing more. (phillip and laurel
can roll per+alert to make it out if they so choose) The young girl, still in
close quarters reaches forward to make a swift grab for laurel's neck. (Using

(since he's just now noticing what's going on, he'll need to pick one action or
the other. of course.. stabbing without stepping over would be kinda silly.)

to leap back and duck as best she can, out of reach of that grabbing hand.

positioning himself for his a strike, then))
ScarletIris: (dex+brawl
vs dex+dodge for grabby and anti grabby, respectively)
ScarletIris:
d10: dex+brawl wp: 8,7,9,4,1,6,
ScarletIris:
Recap: Laurel just barely gets out of the way of the girl's ickie grab. Phillip
steps back across and easily positions himself behind sara for some stabby
stabby fun time. She doesn't seem to notice.. occupied as it were, trying to put
laurel out of her misery. She performs an invocation. They would know they're
being monitored. (rolling awareness for jay)
ScarletIris:
d10: jay aware: 3,3,2,5,2,2,
ScarletIris: Nope.
Jay is halfway over the fence, oblivious. Next round.
ScarletIris:
d10: : 5,2,7,8,
ScarletIris:
Unknowing that there are two butcher knives to her back, she continues to glare
at Laurel. She takes her true form (for which you can both roll legacy once
again) which looks astonishingly like her mortal form, idealized. Blemishes
fade. She gains a darker edge. Her skin seems to thicken with a gloosy alien
like quality to it. She makes another lunge for laurel. (taking all 4 high
torment form abilities) She makes another grab for her neck, another try at the
same evocation.

ScarletIris -> Laurel Hensley:
a bitter Devourer. Tabtálios, an Aruru, Visage of
Flesh
Phillip Lark: He is grinning as if this is a
challenge that he is....enjoying. He will sab the girl twice. ((Splitting dice))

within the shed, trying to avoid that grab. Dammit, stab well, Slayer...

Laurel Hensley:

d10: Damage: 4,3,9,
Phillip Lark:
d10: : 5,6,2,
ScarletIris: Recap: Phillip lands his sneak attack. The first blade penetrates.. mildly. The second doesn't break the skin. (1L taken) Tabtálios lunges at Laurel again, but it seems the defiler is running out of places to duck and run. She's grabbed by the neck and forced into a deathlike coma. (duration: scene. High torment ability does nothing because she has a stamina higher than 1) Jay.. finally notices something is up, but is on the other side of the fence. New Round.
ScarletIris:
Tabtálios turns around, feeling the blade jab her in the back. Looking more..
annoyed than threatened really. She lunges at Phillip, attempting to tackle him
to the ground. (rolling dex+brawl)
ScarletIris:
d10: : 4,9,2,6,2,2,
Phillip Lark: He wriggles his eyebrows and kisses
the air. He will not dodge her grabing him. Why? Because he will focus and use
the contact of skin to skin to decay. ((Using 2 faith))
Phillip Lark:
d10: Stamina Medicine: 8,3,7,8,6,5,
ScarletIris:
(rolling soak, HT armor gives 4 to soak agg. also at the end of the round,
regeneration heals the lethal dealt last round)
ScarletIris:
d10: : 2,2,5,3,
ScarletIris: (Nope!
So that's one L on her, 6 agg, seven in total. She has three more health levels
to go. For reference, I gave her the base visage of flesh to avoid trickery.
She's currently wounded. -2 mod)
ScarletIris:
d10: damage on tackle: 5,9,7,5,
Phillip Lark:
d10: Soak: 9,7,3,
ScarletIris: (Phil
can roll to soak the b dealt on tackle.) Recap: Tabtálios tackles Phillip, but
seems to do more damage to herself in the process. It buuuuuuurns.. She
currently has him held, which could be detrimental to her health. Next Round.
ScarletIris: Glaring
down at the Slayer, she does what she can from the position she's in. Since she
has a hold alraedy, she's going to attempt to tweak her nervous system.. as to
join laurel in beddy by land. (lore of flesh one, diff 9, fp spent, putting her
at 1 fp left)
ScarletIris:
d10: : 1,2,3,7,5,7,
Phillip Lark: She continues to grin at the girl. Not
seeming to fight back at least visably. Another wriggle of his eyebrows.
"Neat...."
Phillip Lark:
d10: Stamina Medicine WP: 6,3,9,8,6,1,
ScarletIris:
Recap: Failure. It's a bitch. Tabtálios' evocation does diddly squat. Phillip
deals the final blow to the crazed pre-teen looking Aruru. The girl's body goes
limp..er. And her visage flitters out.
Phillip Lark: This time, he will attempt to devour
this one.....if he can suceed.
ScarletIris: (gimme a
faith roll)
Phillip Lark:
d10: Faith: 6,2,7,
ScarletIris:
d10: Torment: 5,3,6,9,6,8,8,
Phillip Lark: ((*Snickers* He has NEVER been able to
do that ever *L* it happens *S*))
ScarletIris:
(*wince*) Not only does Phillip not consume Tabtálios, but he also is drained of
all his faith.
ScarletIris: And the
form skitters off, as not to get EATEN or.. sucked back to hell.. or whatever.
Phillip Lark: ((Which was one left anyways.
*Shrugs*)) He pushes the corpse or what is left of it off of him, and get's to
his feet, pocketing his butcher knives, and moving to get Laurel Not the
strongest man on earth.
ScarletIris:
d10: jay: 7,4,10,10,1,5,
ScarletIris: Jay's
moving quickly back over the fence. To the shed. He'll help Phillip get laurel
the fuck out of dodge.
Casey Iver: *Casey is still making his way
around the perimeter but i guess he would be nearing the apartment building by
now.*
ScarletIris: Casey
at this time would be between the apartment building and the grounds to the
group home. He'd likely see the van from where he was standing. And he'd see Jay
hop back over the fence, all quick and monkey like.
Casey Iver: *If thats the case he would be
running towards the van assuming something went wrong*
Phillip Lark: Phillip will sneaky sneaky with Jay to
get the hell out of dodge as well. No need to linger anymore than necessary.
((you need a dex Athletics to see if he can get over the fence?))
ScarletIris: (*nods*)
ScarletIris:
d10: back over: 5,4,1,5,2,5,
Laurel Hensley: And a sack of potatoes,
she is...or might as well be.
Phillip Lark:
d10: Dex+Althletics: 9,9,4,4,8,
ScarletIris: Jay
looks.. almost embarassed as he falls flat on his ass. He brushes himself off
and tries again.
ScarletIris:
d10: : 2,2,6,3,5,8,
ScarletIris: Casey
will get to that vacinity just as Phillip totes laurel over the fence. She isn't
moving. If she's breathing, he can't tell from where he's standing. Jay tumbles
over afterward.
Casey Iver: *He wants to say something but
now isnt the time, he will move over and help get her into the van.*
Phillip Lark: Phillip will follow Jay or Casey to
where the van is, if he cannot see it that is. Moving to get Laurel inside.
ScarletIris: Between
the three of them, everyone's easily toted into the van. Emil is ready to go.
Ana is already laying in the back seat, a blanket laid over her.
ScarletIris: Once
everyone's in, Emil makes his getaway like a good lackey. As they're driving
away they can hear sirens. However, they're not stopped.
Phillip Lark: He will check Laurel's vitals and
such once they are in the van. Barking an order to the driver. "Get back to
Sanctuary NOW." of course once everyone is in, he will say that. He so does not
sound like the shy guy.
Phillip Lark: ((What do you want me to roll to check
Laurel over?))
ScarletIris: Emil
cocks a brow at being barked at by someone who isn't his boss.. or laurel. He
doesn't say anything. Just drives.
ScarletIris: (per+med)
Casey Iver: *Casey will grab the radio and
switch it over to the local police radio frequency to listen in on what they are
saying.*
ScarletIris: If no
one else does so, Jay will move to the back with ana, to keep the girl from
rolling out of the seat.
Phillip Lark:
d10: Per+Medicine: 8,5,1,6,10,2,
Phillip Lark:
d10: Willpower: 1,9,3,7,9,7,
Casey Iver: *He will curse as he turns off
the radio.* "Well at least i have an alibi" *He says quietly to himself* "How
are they lads?"
ScarletIris: Jay
frowns, holding Ana in place on the seat. The girl is still unmoving. "She's..
still. I don't know."
Phillip Lark: Phillip clears his throat,"She is
in like a coma, I do not know really what all is going on with Laurel.....I can
watch over her tonight, see what happens....."He glances back to Ana. "Why don't
I check her out too."
ScarletIris: Jay
moves over so that Phillip can check her. Meanwhile Emil is driving at the
posted limit. Back to Staten Island.
Phillip Lark:
d10: Per+Medicine(Ana): 2,6,2,10,9,8,
Casey Iver: *Casey nods* "Aye good idea. I
don think anyone shoul be going anywhere for a while"
ScarletIris: Jay
nods, watching Phillip closely when he touches ana.
Phillip Lark: He does not look at Jay, as he
finishes up looking her over, maybe too well. "Same thing as Laurel.....they are
both in comas....." He clears his throat again.
ScarletIris: Jay
frowns, looking up to Phillip. "I.. know laurel trusts you to look after her.
You seem to know more about these kinds of things than the rest of us.." He
sounds skeptical.. forced, almost. But not really moreso than usual for the boy.
Casey Iver: *He nods* "We will watch over
them, if they dont come out of it by nights end we will have ta look inta findin
somethin ta bring them out."
Phillip Lark:
d10: Willpower: 6,6,4,7,5,4,
Phillip Lark: ((*HEADDESK*))
ScarletIris: (LMFAO!
omg.. just.. wow. This is beautiful. I love irony.)
Phillip Lark: He nods his head. "It does help having
taken courses, you never know what you need to do to work with the dead." He
cannot seem to take his gaze off of Ana, stroking her hair oh so gently, oh so
lovingly. "Unless either of you have medical training I think I can watch them
both. I work nights so this is when I am normally awake."
ScarletIris: Jay
mumbles. "I.. just want to get back. Make sure Maria and Beth are still
alright."
Casey Iver: "I will be remaining as well,
the reports indicate the police are looking for me. Not for any of you. I will
remain the night to secure an alibi, as well as to keep watch and care for
them."
Phillip Lark: He takes a deep breath. "Yeah, make
sure they are alright, keep watch on them as well." he nods his head, still
absently almost petting Ana's hair.
ScarletIris: Jay
stares at Phillip. The same frown about him. Watching him.. pet.. the girl.
Phillip Lark: He frowns. "Right, alibi." He nods and
moves slightly so that he can keep an eye, or eyes on both Laurel and Ana.
Casey Iver: *Casey will just lean back in
the chair and wait out the ride back to Sanctuary watching both phil and Jay
absently*
ScarletIris: The
ride back is fairly quiet. Emil doesn't speak. Neither does Jay. Of course
Laurel and ana are quiet.
Phillip Lark: Once back at Sanctuary, he will help
to Get Laurel into the club. Thanking God for the fact that he untucked his
t-shirt earlier.
ScarletIris: When
they get back to the club, Emil parks near the back entrance as not to draw too
much attention to themselves.
ScarletIris: Jay
would grab Ana if Phillip grabbed Laurel.
Casey Iver: *Casey will follow them both up
and head straight for the lounge.*
Phillip Lark: Phillip will watch Jay with Ana,
though as he takes Laurel upstairs.
ScarletIris: Jay will
move to Ana's designated room. The one she's been in since they first came here.
He'd tuck her in.
Casey Iver: *Casey will take one of the
simpler chairs from the lounge and move it down the hall to where the girls
sleep setting it there and then returning to the lounge.* "We got her." *He will
say to Mimi if shes still in the lounge*
ScarletIris: He pokes
his head out the door, looking for philip "Did you want to put them in the same
room? They would both fit on the same bed. I want to check on Maria and Beth.."
ScarletIris: Mimi is
reading a book, blinking up when she hears the comotion in the hall.. then ivers
approach. "Are.. they alright?"
Phillip Lark: He will stop, and look down at Laurel
and into the bedroom. "Yeah we can do that, sure." Then move into Ana's room.
"Much easier for me to watch them this way."
ScarletIris: Jay
nods. Afterall.. Phillip IS the professional in this situation. He leaves him
with the two coma-induced females and moves toward Beth's room. Putting his ear
to the door.
Casey Iver: "They appear ta be in some form
a coma. I don know exactly wha happened ya will have ta ask Phillip or Jay." *He
grabs some water from the bar* "Either way we will be remainin here for tha
night."
Phillip Lark: He will lay Laurel down on the bed
next to Ana, amking sure both of them have their own space on the bed. He
brushes a hand down Laurel's hair, same as he did with Ana, then move over to
check on Ana again.
ScarletIris: He nods
and moves down to Maria's door. Not wanting to wake the angry ball of angst that
is beth, just listening long enough to hear her snoring. He knocks on maria's
door before entering.
ScarletIris: Mimi nods. "A slumber party.. fun." She says, tucking her book away. "So.. is it safe to get sloshed yet?"
Casey Iver: *He laughs* "Feel free." *He
says as he sets the radio down on the table.* "I'll be righ back...i jus want ta
see how they are doin." *He says as he turns and heads towards ana's room*
ScarletIris: She nods
and starts making herself a drink. Jay closes Maria's door. Aiming to talk to
maria.. to tell her her friend's alright.
Phillip Lark: Phillip is standing on the side of
the bed where Ana is he looks up as Casey get's to the door, still ebnt over, a
hand on her wrist, probably checking her pulse. "No better no worse. I am going
to stay in here tonight, to look after them both."
ScarletIris: Mimi
mumbles a quiet invocation to Ouestucati. To let the glittermuse know they're
back. And to break the news about laurel's state.
Casey Iver: *Casey raises an eyebrow.*
"In tha room? An i though i was bein over zealous." *He points to the chair.*
"I'll be righ outside jus incase." *He looks down at the two women* "They will
come aroun..."
Phillip Lark: "Well yeah, better to be close by,
incase something changes. Besides I will need to check on them every thirty
minutes or so. Just in case their conditions worsen." He places Ana's hand down
on the bed, and caresses her arm, giving her a loving look, before looking back
to Casey. "We wouldn't want anything to happen to either one of them and I doubt
Laurels signifigant other would like that."
ScarletIris: After a
brief invocation, mimi fixes herself a stiff drink. It's only a matter of
moments before Elijah comes padding up the stairs.
ScarletIris:
Elijah moves at a nearly frantic pace, looking through doorways until he spots
Phillip and Casey standing over Ana and Laurel. He slips into the room,
murmering "Jesus.. what happened.." Pretty green eyes locked on Laurel. Worried,
obviously.
Casey Iver: *He eyes the caress with a
skeptical look.* "Your righ, he woul no be happy an neither woul i" He says with
a nod and then turning from the room he steps out.*
Casey Iver: ((DLP))
Casey Iver: *Casey looks to Elijah and nods
in greeting* "I'm no to sure maself" *He looks to Phillip* "Wha did happen in
there?"
Phillip Lark: He sighs. "A devourer.....we went
in to get Ana, and the Devourer was there, Laurel noticed that something was up
and right after I came through, Laurel didn't manage to get away before she
touched Laurel and I guess put her into a coma......At lkeast that is what I can
figure out from what I know. Both of them are stable. We though it better if I
looked after both of them in here, since I know what I am doing. Phillip has
medical training. If you would like I am sure Casey can help you move Laurel to
your room.....and I will check on both of them during the night."
ScarletIris: Eli
nods. "I.. this isn't her bed.." He murmers, still a bit in shock, seeing Laurel
unmoving like that.
Casey Iver: *Casey nods at the shocked man
and bends to pick up Laurel.* "We will move her to her bed if ya think tha would
be best Elijah." *He says picking her up*
ScarletIris: Eli nods
and leads Casey to his room. Opening the door and whatnot.
ScarletIris: (and..
i'm bout to pass out. Eli would curl up with Laurel. Mimi would drink herself
into a mild stupor. Jay would explain what's going on to Maria. Emil leaves.)
Phillip Lark: He nods his head. "Yeah.....just
thought this would be easier....." he shrugs. "The Devourer was named Tab and
then tálios...I killed her....." another shrug. "I do not know how long she was
doing things to Ana." he looks up at Eli.
Phillip Lark: ((Aaaaaand Phillip will wait until
Casey falls asleep.))
Laurel Hensley: ((Yay, Laurel's safe from
her savior! *G* Thank you for the scene, guys!))
ScarletIris: Eli
seems completely oblivious to the fact that Ana even exists at this point. His
focus remains solely on Laurel.
Casey Iver: *He places her there and then returns to his chair.* "We will look into it tomorrow. For now lets jus get some rest." *He says as he leans against the wall. ((Thanks scar, everyone! lots of fun))
