A Walk in The Park

Adamaous:

Klaus had called a small meeting for all those who were interested in his revival of the offensive guild.

Roles were explained and apprentices were assigned.

Noomi got Francine and I got.. Eiden.

Trojan was present and would be participating in training when she could as she was already quite active in "mission" work.

It was up to us to plan our sessions and report on our student's progress.

As the situation with Paris still remained fresh, Noomi had worked on some disguises that would assist with detection. She planned on staying in the corn fields with Francine to practice offensive spells while I was tasked with showing Eiden around along with some defensive strategies though I must admit, I was not entirely sure what he did? 

Noomi suggested we started training right away. I still was weary about all this and the timing could not be any worse (nearing Halloween). After much discussion we thought a small outing would be best as a sort of introductory to what was to come.

Francine and Noomi waited at the tunnel entrance with me for Eiden.

Again our outing was to be quick and simple, presumedly a walk in the park.

Adamaous:

I assess his costume and Francine giggles.

I was not looking forward to training him with that thing..

"Shall we?"

I propose to the group before taking the lead outside.

Just before I step out I activate the cloaking spell which slight altered my appearance and smell.

Hopefully this will be sufficient for further use.

I think to myself as Noomi and Francine say their farewells and leave us to the corn fields.

"Tell me of your experience thus far?"

I get strait to the point.

Eiden:

I blush at Francine's reaction. Her outfit did not seem so strong...

....

is this a prank? 

"Good luck!" 
I call back and then turn to... guy who doesnt look like Adam.

Is he a shapeshifter too??

He starts questioning me and I assume its about me and Francine. I am TOO ashamed to tell him about the apple orchard. 

"Uhh well we kissed again and I didn't turn into a wolf?"

I pause.

"Do I have your blessing to marry Francine? Every time I try to propose something horrible happens and its probably your doing..."

Adamaous:

I place my thumb and index finger across my forehead feeling embarrassed for.him.

"What?"

I sigh and try to refocus our conversation.

"What is your experience with field work?"

...............

"And if your intentions with Francine are serious, choose a more appropriate time to bring up your proposal and I will humour you then."

I circle around him waiting for his resume.

Eiden:

"What do you mean? You know I  did a little of everything...many times over..."

I sigh not feeling good enough for anything. 

Does he think I slacked off?

He brings up Francine again so I assume he wants to talk about it more.

"That's not how it works, YOU have to give the blessing first..."

Adamaous:

I blink stunned.

And decide on new approach.

"Follow me."

I respond when our conversation seems to be going in circles.

"If you truly want to do this now then fine, yes, you have my blessing."

What Francine sees in this one still remains a mystery but far be it from me to take away their choice in this matter as mine was taken from me.

I lead the way choosing a more hands on approach to his abilities.

Eiden:

Adam tells me to follow him so I do. Maybe now the lessen would start.

I try to get serious because I gotta make him PROUD. He has alot of doubt about me already... 

I get the blessing and BELIVE it will all work out next time

Its all I needed.

"What are we doing?"

Why is he so vague? I think looking around.

Adamaous:

We get to the town entrance and I turn back to look at him.

"Well go on."

I fold my arms.

"Let's see how you interact with the public."

I wait to observe his "people skills" to JUDGE HIM.

Eiden:

I walk right up to the police man by the road (Samuel Cavedish) who I was fully aware of by the 1,00000 of hours of camera footage.  

"Goodday can you please explain to me the crosswalk rules? I understand hit and runs are still a problem and would like to be fully aware of the rules of the  road."

He wants to direct me  to the Purple Flower but I demand to know the rules of the road.

Adamaous:

.........

I wander over to Eiden and the police officer.

He didn't do as bad as I would have thought, unfortunately his costume worked against him.

Perhaps he should consider picking a personality type and dressing the part?

I ponder.

"That will be all officer."

I excuse him.

"How are you with controntation? What is your defense?"

I question was he refused to provide me with details I was forced to assess his abilities on the spot.

Eiden:

I am SO confused when Adam tries to individualize me  I was just so used to the group effort.

"Uh I can counter attacks...punch me.."

I challenge him ready to wrestle.

Adamaous:

Absolutely not..

I straighten up my sleeves and shake my head at him.

Eiden was defenseless, he will be completely reliant on Francine should they encounter a stronger opponent.

......

"Why are you out here? Do you actually want to do this?"

Eiden:

I slowly lower my arms down once I realize Adam wasnt going to spar like any normal tunnel man

I judge him a little till I was mortified, he seem to completely give up on me and imply I do not want to be out here.

Well he is not wrong...

But I think I understand his tone and it was quite offensive. 

"Look I dont know why you think I need some list of powers and defenses to be out here, plenty of our people have infiltrated  the outsiders, yes sometimes they died for what had to be done but everyone did a little piece and we had some very impressive victories with those losses. And guess what ...I rather be like them then you! Havelanders are just going to kill me, torcure whatever.. it will be over then.. but you are some powerful big shot they will keep you around for their bidding. I'm here because I am a nobody."

Adamaous:

Eiden defends his case quite valiantly.

I tilt my head when he seemed to take offence at my questioning.

The personal jab gave it away..

"Eiden you must not be so defensive in these matters. Any emotional response will only work to your enemies advantage.*

I explain.

Eiden:

I get lectured for my speech and wait for him to finish. 

"Yes sir. I will reserve such speeches for those inside our ranks." 

I reply finding it tedious he thought I would go say these things to every Joe Bag of Doughnuts in town.

Adamaous:

I do not believe he understood me correctly, either that or I should have worded myself better.

I look down awkwardly for a moment trying to think of a response when our scene is interrupted by another.

(Bellatrix) "What an intriguing outfit."

The woman holds her chin and I was uncertain to which of us she was referring.

Eiden:

Adam has nothing more to say to me. He does however let a Xern near me instead of moving us along in time. 

The Govender's 100,0000,0000 year old wife/wet nurse. There are no words to their depravity. 
 
That is NOT ok for the first day we should only be talking to the humans. 

I'm a little teapot, Short and stout. *hums hum hums in head* 

"Thank you." I say trying to mirror my Uncle Lance's femminne pitch, I've been watching GLOSSY videos Dad showed me for days. 
 
I hope we go to SHIMMER soon

Bellatrix:

I gracefully draw near to the both of them.

The elder male looked calm and collected, the younger male did not.

I put on my best face for the two of them.

"You must show me where you got it?"

(Adamous) "The outfit is rather outdated, I don't believe it is in stores anymore."

I pout.

"Such a shame.."

I wander away from them quite disapointed.

Adamaous:

Our scene escalates and Eiden is forced to remove his clothes.

He does so, without breaking character.

I raise my eyebrows impressed while addressing Bellatrix myself.

"Our sincerest apologies."

*Holds the edge of my coat to my face to keep from gaging at the smoke.*

Eiden:

*is mortified TRUELY but it had to be done. They were XERNS. I was also BELIVED Adamaous would transport me to safety if they wanted more then a stripdown.

....

hopefully....

(Elsin): "Look at that the guy hookers are so desperate they are walking around like that to advertise.."

He comes over with some of the Flower Girls who all whisper about me among themselves amused. 

I try to focus on the banknote and not DIE inside.

"L..l.ets ..."

I dont bother asking Adam and just head over to SHIMMER myself. 

*almost is hit by a carriage crossing*

Adamaous:

I follow after Eiden once we are in the clear and take off my coat to cover him.

"You did good back there."

I acknowledge before entering the store along with him.

This was apart of town I always tried quite desperately to avoid.

Eiden:

Who would have thought I would get praise finely from Adam by loosing my clothes....

I just nod, grateful for the coat. I am BLINDED by bling as we enter SHIMMER. Our database is outdated  its bigger and more terrifying then Dad's footage. 

Big SMILEING face of Cersei Hawthorne were everywhere. She had hologram modals of herself in the theme of every aisle. 

I shutter only knowing about her role with poor Leon trying to warp him into her fake son and all the Valerian babies Hepaci killed. 

In the makeup department there was ROWAN.I forget about Cersei in excitement. 

"Look look!"

He looks so much older, he was getting pained almost white. It looked uncomfortable.

I think its just a hologram but the REAL Cersei  was behind Adam (Shes going for the older guy ) 

(Cersei): "Why hello there I dont think I've seen your face before."

I just hold up my banknote hoping she takes it and goes away.

She laughs a little seeing me under the coat.

(Cersei): "My my you sure made alot of money on the streets..."

"I did and I'm ready to spend. My Dad needs help with his look too don't you think?" 

I try to distract her to get to ROWAN.  ADAM WILL UNDERSTAND ITS FOR THE MISSON

Adamaous:

I glare at Eiden's remark with respect to my clothing before turning to address Ms. Hawthorne.

"I tend to keep to myself."

And for good reason.

"Please, feel free to gather what you think appropriate for him, I will wait outside."

*Tries to sneak out.*

Cersei:

I yank the man back who DARES leaves before being beautified.

"No no you are NOT leaving my store in THAT. You will bring shame on me..."

I lean in and whisper glaring out the window at that horrid ugly contraption outside. 

"When I was first lady, a much prettier one then that old crone...they are nasty creatures...they are.."

I take a makeup brush and start seeing what color looked best on him for starters, comparing how it would clash with his eyes and hair and considering what was in style for a man of his age.

"Hold still we are just getting started!" 

I see Tiger take interest in him so I give him our finest black lace with bloody dripping tiger stripe fuex fur

Adamaous:

Unfortunately, Ms. Hawthorne was very persistent and I was forced to remain.

I tense up for a couple of reasons.

The first, and most obvious, was that I loathed the attention.

The second, however, had to do with my cloaking spell and I was not entirely certain how it would adapt to physical elements such as blush. 

We will see.

I keep close watch of the mirror as an obsenely large cat enters our scene.

"Do you keep up with current politics?"

I ask, as the subject of fashion interested me not.

Cersei:

I glance over at what his son was doing. He seemed to have found some clothes based on the new boy band of the year. It was getting harder and harder to find pretty boys though. This lad here sure would make a nice face for the ladies of Havenland to lust after. 

 Rowan must be telling him all about his father's glory days in the Gregory Experience Band. 

I almost tear up emotionally thinking about poor Jupiter, such  poet and lyrical writer and singer being wasted away by these savages down there. 

"Politics? Hun do you think there's still voting?"

I laugh a little. 

"My son would be burning this place to its knees if they didn't interfere..and quite honestly I'm waiting for that self rightous Starker bitch to kill this governor already so we have a chance again."

I speak bold as Joseph knows all this already.  How nice of him to conpel me not to act but not to forget why.

"But she only thought righteous justice was meant for the humanelite I suppose..and not real monsters.."

Constantine:

*transports into makeup section Rowan AND Eiden was far to much bait for me to not bug them * XD

(Eiden): "WHoa..you look bad..."

(Rowan): "Yeaaah.."

I put some concealer on to hide my veins leading to my bloody eyes..

"I just happen to be in town...what are you doing here?"

*twitch*

(Eiden): "Getting shopping done before your big party?"

((They put  subluminal impulses in the clothes....))

I warn them and Rowan shrugs having been here too long.

(Rowan): "I tried to do sowing hexes ffff .. way to much math. I am not capable of those geometric shapes...its not happning.. so I think I'm going to be in a band instead. Cersei says its easier I just have to look pretty and  make a tringle with my hands in a pose.."

((So they can put it into the flashing lights and imagery?))

(Rowan): "Yeah..." He shows us his tringle that he makes with his hands. I give him a mock clap for being that geometrically inclined. 

(Eiden): "Can I be in your band?" 

I look at him strangely, why is he so confident today. Killing someone really bolded him up eh?

*twitch*

Adamaous:

Ms. Hawthorne does not hold back her opinions.

I raise an eyebrow at her and am quite careful with my response.

"My apologies, it was not my intention to choose such an upsetting subject."

I glance at a mirror to check on Eiden and see he was now joined by Constantine who looked absolutely terrible.

This will not do.

"Excuse me where are your washrooms?"

I try to excuse myself to send a message.

Eiden:

I was mostly trying to see how messed up Rowan was. I think alot...

Well how can you not be if you were taken at 14.

Constantine comes and I try not to be horrified at how he looked.  He seemed ok in the mind though.. 

He didnt forget what side he was on like Rowan.

Since Constantine is keeping Rowan busy I look back at how Mr. Rapce is doing. I try not to laugh at how badly his makeup is. But the scary wife of Desmond wasnt eating him so...

(Cersei): "Over there its gender inclusive don't worry.."

I'm sure he was going there for a reason.

Adamaous:

I nod back at her.

"Thank you."

I wander off out of sight.

((Noomi, I just saw Constantine. He does not look well. We should inform his parents.))

(Noomi) ((How so?))

((Veiny skin, bloodshot eyes. I am not sure what is the cause?))

Noomi goes quiet.

Of course..

(Noomi) (( I will see what I can do.,))

Constantine:

* I sense a disturbance as Eiden was looking at some stranger funny and he walks off to the bathroom afterward.

* transports away when I get tattled on* XD

Adamaous:

I wander back to Ms. Hawthorne really hoping we were finished here.

Francine:

Noomi needed to go back in the tunnels to deliver a message.

I stand there a bit ashy as I had made a few.clumsy mistakes during our session.

Noomi asks me to come along with but like a BADASS I do not.

*Teleports away to go find Eiden.*

Constantine:

Francine transports around looking for Eiden.

"Hey you missed your dad get a makeover..."

I pip up leaning on a lamppost.

"Eiden looks much better..."

Francine:

I run into Constantine on my way to try and find Eiden.

"Cause?"

He looked terrible but still better than he did with that flame hair.

"Where are they?"

I question, subconsciously brushing myself off of soot.

I looked like I got into a fight with a dragon and lost.

Constantine:

I wonder if she met up with Emerald... but I dont say anything. I dont look good either. 

"Inside SHIMMER?"

I say just as they walk out.

"or... on the move..."

Francine:

I tilt my head at him before glancing over at Eiden.

Complete costume change?

What happened to his old one..

I quickly turn back to Cause trying ONCE AGAIN to get him to come back all the while trying not to lose sight of Eiden.

"Constantine you don't look well. I know you think things are your fault but they aren't. Please just, come back with us... at the very least to get checked up on."

Constantine:

I frown at Francine.

"Ask your Mum why I cant come back...she knows."

I say before transporting away.

Eiden looked disappointed he missed me then adds sheepishly 

(Eiden): "I didnt mean to loose your outfit.. it got..sold...forcefuly."

Francine:

Constantine transports away after a very vague response.

I swear it was like interacting with my father sometimes.

I turn to Eiden when he approaches.

"What do you mean?"

I raise any eyebrow at his costume change explanation.

He was very pretty though...

 

Eiden:

I gesture to the freakish carriage passing by. 

"The Xerns LIKED it...so they had to have it. I got 5k for it.."

I give her the rest of the IOU since the money is really hers. She must sow magically like Rowan fails at. 

Suddenly it gets really cold and really dark with a purple hue..

....

"Whats that??" I try to ask Adam but it all happens to fast.

*gets burried with cursed snow Jon Snow style*

Adamaous:

I wander over to Eiden and Francines conversation part way through.

(Francine)"It looked better on you."

She frowns at the carriage before looking at me puzzled for a moment before Eiden confirms my identity.

She laughs.

I shake my head before it gets dark, cold and...

*Eiden gets buried.*

....snowy.

"We need to take shelter fast! Where is Noomi?!"

(Francine) "Back home!"

"You came here without her?!"

(Francine) "Dad I am not a child I am perfectly capable of going somewhere alone!"

I shake my head.

"Both of you go to Constantine's club I will meet you there shortly."

Joseph:

I walk around in the 'new outfit' my wife so wanted me to have. Paracelsus looked like he got his revenage .... in whatever said little way he could I suppose. 


"Now if everyone is done with... bettering the town.."

Did anyone help anyone really? What a waste of time coming out here at all. Most of them just hid from us. Cersei was drunk ranting at us on her roof.

I see her picked off by a winged presence.
But we too are attacked. I already tried to command hags outside. It was no good they did not see me as a Xern but would eat me like Klaus.

"Xenon get to the bunnker now! With Paracelsus. Fun is over."

I did not trust their minds out here with such dark influence and aura in the area. 

I should very much leave too but Ettimay was outside ..she was very much worth the risk. 

I dodge trying to be very fast  against multiple swoops of the creatures to get close to her.

I nearly stop in place almost wanting to slurp up snow when I see she was bleeding already. I ignore it to waste no time since some hags already scratched her.

"Caesar your bite is toxic to her, please dont....you have to use a knife.."

I scold him annoyed he got out but with her scent in the air who wouldn't try.  Ettie tosses him back with her mind trying to keep distance hiding down the only place she could in the moment a well.

"Ettie, have you finely lost it?!" I get racked from behind by a damn bird and try to ignore it to smear my hand on the blood trail leading down the well and bring it to my lips.

Noomi:

I sprint as fast as I can to the tunnel entranceway.

"Ettie!"

I call out to her in a panic.

Fuck! Fuck! FUCK!

I FEEL an evil presence fill the air and understand immediately what was happening.

(Adamaous) ((Noomi Halloween has started early this year. We are not going to get to you in time. Francine and Eiden are locked up in Constantine's club. I will be joining them shortly.))

(To Adamaous) ((Adamaous,  Ettimay is out there! I don't know what happened. She just snapped!))

This was so bad....

(Adamaous) ((I will find her. Stay put and make sure no one else comes in or out.))

I think of Klaus and curse.

(To Adamaous) ((Good luck out there))

He is going to need it.

I think to myself before running back and casting a great many shields inside to protect the tunnels.

Slight time skip**

(Klaus) "What the bloody hell is going on?! Where is Ettie???"

I meet his anger head on.

"Klaus she left."

(Klaus) "She what??"

"Something happened, she freaked and just left!"

(Klaus) "Then why are you sealing the entranceway??"

"Klaus Halloween already started its not safe to go out there! Adam is out there too and he knows. He will find her it will be ok."

I try to convince him not even bothering to mention the others out there as well as it would only make him more pissed.

(Klaus) "This can not be happening!"

He shouts and throws a temper tantrum in the hall.

I would try to calm him down but my thoughts were the same.

We are so fucked..

Adamaous:

I teleport around the town in the ice and snow, trying to dodge Hag attacks left, right and center.

This ridiculous costume was making it hard to maneuver!

*Has low key temper tantrum and throws murse down in the snow.*

I overhear Joseph Sharpton a ways away and teleport closer to him to see what he was up to.

Seems he has someone trapped down the well.

I had a pretty good idea who it was based on all the blood.

Unfortunately Sharpton may have already had some and I was too unfamiliar with his range of power to commit to a confrontation.

I aim for a distraction while teleporting Ettimay out instead.

Projects image of Klaus at him instead.

(Klaus Mirage) "My wife's blood is not going to save you Joseph. How about you look into my eyes so we can get this over with?"

I teleport inside the well with her.

"Ettimay take my hand!"

I offer it to her trying to teleport us both out of here.

Tully:

Oh Ettie's gone.... how tragic...

*rolls eyes SICK of being her bitch but is 'there' for Klaus and all as he rages on*

"At least shes with Constantine, its what she wanted..."

(Jupiter): "Her birthday party was lame brah you should have let ME plan it instead of dungeon time. I would run away too with, that cake looked like someone dropped it." He was eating it anyway. 

Everyone eats Etties tunnel cake cause she ANT coming back to see it cut, no point wasting it

Joseph:

I was quite sure Klaus wasnt with Ettie that's why I came out - but I see him and if its a trick or not I wasnt taking chances and turn my sight away with a hiss DEEPLY disturbed. 

Because I wasnt looking to dodge it I get a large gash from one of the creatures who slashed. Another tried to pick me up from the back and I rip at  its claw off to free myself to land down.

I could not stay out here much longer in this stupid outfit Bellatrix INSISTED upon but letting Caesar take Ettie would destroy everything. The Moores would just love to overthrow us. You could see the contempt everyday from our faithless servants at the tower.

Cesar sees me bleeding out quickly and uses black fire to clear a path to the well. I try to beat him there but he gets down it and snarls.

(Caesar): "Where did you put her!?"

I didnt....

 Shit..
I dont think Klaus was the one who got her either..

 I throw icey beast creature into the well at him to slow him down and drag my entrails hanging out to the bunker.

"Let me ..in." *scratches at door crazily hallucinating Klaus all around so I keep my eyes close and pressed to the door*
