On the surface,
an Elysium of unsurpassed splendor. Beneath, something sinister lurks...
Krouser "you're damn right it's different. It's Nilichii's voice calling." *he steps out of the window, ignoring Voracia.* "He calls me into contest,
a creature of the night, *he leans out further, steping onto the precipice, and leaning over the edge, holding himself over the edge by keeping his hand on the frame.* "He calls me into contest,
dispite the truth of what I am, *he raises his voice, as the wind howls* "He calls me into contest,
for what I do and say, *he releases his hold, an instant before he snaps from his reverie. he stands, precariously balanced on the edge.* Sudsaroo Please stay G. *Amber turns away once again and begins to cry to herself again* (To herself) the room, the room -Amber Sudsaroo Elijah Robert Marks Elijah slowly unfolds himself and forces himself to stand. He shakes the dust from his trenchcoat. He looks at the window hesitantly, and then asks: "Is Gwynhala all right?" ------------------ Sudsaroo Perhaps I should rebuild your skin for you. *Amber look intently upon Gwynhalla and his burn marks. Gwynhalla's skin quickly regenerates itself as do any inner organs that were damaged. He is now physically healthier than before this whole thing began. Even any scars she may have had are gone.* *Amber turns away again and starts to cry again, even more this time* -Amber Vash *Vash approaches the window and jumps through it, but catches his foot on it and lands on his face. He stands up, wincing* Okay, who used the discipline "Window tripper"? *Vash glances around and tips his invisible hat towards Voracia* Ma'am. *He shuffles over to the edge and looks down* Are we supposed to go down? Voracia /ooc Nikodemus ARE YOU READY? While walking through the hallway, headed toward the "Main Hall" Nikodemus is startled out of thought by a disturbing feeling. 'Christ almighty,' Nikodemus thinks to himself. 'I hope that's not Jorgensen.' Nikodemus has felt the scourge of faith many times. 'Well,' Niko continues, 'there's only one answer for it. Time to face Black Hammer head on.' Nikodemus rearms himself and heads in the direction of the True Faith effect. Coming to the door, he kicks it in, blurring with superhuman speed. Diving through the splintered ruins he rolls, coming up to one knee. Both blades flash, one coming to rest at Elijah's throat, the other poised to pierce Amber's chest. After a painful silence while the room's occupants stare at him, Nikodemus speaks. "Well, that was pretty embarassing. Sorry." Sudsaroo Quite harmless I assure you. Unless that were a wooden stake you're little knife would have just cut me. A very small deal for a Tzimisce. One who is very very skilled in flesh craft I might add. *Amber turns away from the sudden intrusion and begins crying again.* -Amber Elijah Robert Marks "No problem, Nikodemus. If you'd shown a bit less restraint, then I might have had some issues..." ------------------ Vash Hey, Mr. Nikodemus, you're missing a great view out here. *Vash steps back and glances around. He slips his orange tinted sunglasses on and rests his hands on his hips before talking to himself* Breath taking! I wonder if it's real, or if it's a Time Bandits-esque painting on glass? *Vash scratches his head before pulling a rock out of his pocket and tossing it out* Seems real enough, I suppose... Krouser "I'll show you." *lowers it, so that the sight faces directly, then looks at his wristwatch.* "No dot. Whatever that thing is, it's at least one hundred times deeper than the marinera trench. If it's real, it ain't on earth." *puts the pistol back, and sighs as he realizes that he nearly jumped into the thing.* "I think I'll go back in now." Sudsaroo What is this place anyways? Are we in hell? Or limbo? Or a place where we may finally find the answers to our existence. *Amber looks out towards the window, she reaches to her side and feels...the arm she had left in the bar!* What? *She walks towards the window and steps out.* Well, here's to the sun. I hope you never see me again. Forget my vain dreams, I'm doomed to darkness forever it seems. *Amber takes her detached arm and throws it with all her might as far and as high as possible. Somewhere near the horizon you can see the arm burst into ash and fall towards the sea.* I guess that means light is coming. Unless time doesn't work in this place that is. *Amber walks back inside and helps Elijah back up* *She takes a seat at one of the chess tables and looks like she is about to concentrate when a wave of sadness overtakes her again. She rushes back to her chair again and huddles in a ball crying.* I don't think I can deal with this *She sobs* -Amber Elijah Robert Marks Nikodemus "She does bring up a salient point. My watch stopped working...anyone have an idea how long we've been here?" Elijah Robert Marks Elijah seems fully recovered from the last few minutes. He walks back over to where he was standing before the ruckus and picks up the book he'd dropped on the floor, opens it and starts reading again. Then, he stops and looks at Nikodemus. "How good are you with old languages? I need something translated... or at least, I need to know what language it's in so I can figure out where to start looking to translate it." ------------------ Nikodemus Nikodemus picks up the book and studies it with interest. OOC: What languange and what does it say? email me if you prefer. Krouser "Tears of blood are still tears. You're more human than you thought." *pulls out his beaded headband, and unties the cloth knot. He hands it to Amber, as he takes a seat beside her.* "come on, wipe those up. Now is not the time to lose hope. You will be as suprised as I am when I say this. You are among friends here." Sudsaroo ooc/Hint Hint!/ooc -Amber Sudsaroo *Amber takes the cloth and wipes her tears away* But you don't know what I saw. Whoever is running this place must be a foul creature indeed. *Amber looks up at Krouser* Maybe you're right. Maybe I haven't lost all my humanity. Maybe there is still hope and maybe I am among friends. *Amber reaches out for what seems to be a hug* -Amber Sudsaroo *Still in Krouser's arms looking up* I'm feeling a little better. -Amber Stormcaller "Whoops, that could have been bad." David watches in wonder as Amber gets up and helps to heal Gwynhala "Now if only the mind were so easy to heal as the body. I don't think whatever caused him to react in the way he did is something that would only affect the body." After checking Gwynhala one final time David walks over to make sure that Elijah isn't wounded badly. "Well I guess we are all a little jumpy after some of the things that have been happening lately. At least no one was hurt too badly this time. Had Niko been a little less controled things would be quite different but things happened for the best this time." Hears a sob and walks over to Amber to see what is the matter "Well miss, not that it is any of my business but I assume that when you left this room you encountered a room with a familiar symbol on it. From there you probably went into this room and experienced something tragic from your past. I know from experience that those rooms can be quite trying on a person and while I don't mean to lessen what happened in any way, you need to remember that it was only a sending from your past ,or if not that then it was something that this place was using to cause a strong reaction in you. It has long been over and whatever it is that happened to you in that room is something that you were able to survive the first time it happened and I am sure you will be able to survive it this time as well but remember that this time you have others around to help you if you need it. Though I can't speak for the others in this room I myself will be willing to help you since you were willing to help Gwynhala when he was injured." ------------------ Krouser "I was wrong to call you Tkin. It means ice, emotionless." *he pulls her away, and looks her in the eye. he smiles, and speaks firmly.* "You are Moasi, the cat."
