Re: Weston P.D.

Rodger slunk in, taking a seat and sitting down looking rather sheepish, if not shifty. All this high-security, classified stuff he wasn't allowed to know about going on around him was still disconcerting. So the wizard kept quiet, unless spoken to, knowing that the police captain knew far more about what he needed to do for whatever this was than he did. Much like when the Brigade had been called together; he might have the power, but they were the ones who were in charge far more than he was. And the demons above the rest.

"It would seem that we have a problem, Mr. Eskin," Captain Scott said dryly. "A few of our...people...they seem to be unavailable at the moment. I haven't been able to get a hold of Derring for a better part of the day now, and that has me concerned."

"That doesn't sound like him at all," Rodger mused. Either as a businessman, or as Hunter, there ought to have been contact with Don. Lack of him would do... what, to the demons' plans? He didn't know.

"Who else is out of contact?" he asked after a few moment's thought, that 'few' indicating to his mind that it might not just be Don.

Re: Weston P.D.

"Isn't he one of yours... both ways?" Rodger asked softly, remembering that phone conversation at the Gysbourne mansion where Johnny had said something that tipped Rodger off that he could be a cop.

"Should I attempt to scry one of them? I have the mana for it," he asked after that was answered. As the only time he'd ever cast black spells so far was for the Deputy Mayor's rescue attempt, he had a decent supply of that color available to him. "Or should I test out summoning spells and pray one of them is a 'summon clown' under a freaky name?"

Re: Weston P.D.

"All right..." Rodger pantomimed rolling up his sleeves while his eyes unfocused, searching his spell menus for something that sounded unappetizing in black.

He found a spell with summon in its' name pretty fast. 4 minor charges, but yes, it was a summons. Of something.

He clicked on it... and it brought up his gemstone display, requesting a target from the selection. Oh dear. He worried that it might be another one like the postal pigeons, that went to the designated person. But he wouldn't know if he didn't try it.

Silently praying that he wasn't messing anything up, he mentally clicked on one of the small gems. The spell activated... "Summon Girtabilu!"

The room seemed to shake as power built in the air, runes bubbling out of the warped space to form a twisted, distorted pentagram on the floor with echoing pseudo-Gregorian chants of what sounded like obscenities resounded around them and down the hall.

The floor flexed, tearing open like an iris with brimstone fumes billowing up out of it. Rising out of the floor was a creature that was human from the waist up, but a huge scorpion from the waist down. It bore a distinct resemblance to the man whose gem had been clicked (for it was that member of the brigade, called into this alternate form to play the part of the conjured horror), but his skin was considerably darker than normal, with bronze overtones, and his nails were like chitinous claws.

Re: Weston P.D.

On top of the desk appears first a pentagram and thena strange scorpion creature. The creature looks around wildly. "The hell?"

Captain Scott recognized the voice.

"Derring? Um...should I even ask what the hell happened to you?"

Rodger blinked. "Err... hello," feeling more than a bit confused about what the spell had done.

"Got jumped and kidnapped." The strange creature replied. "Can I turn back? This form is really uncomfortable?"

Re: Weston P.D.

"I'm not sure how to dismiss my spells early yet, unless it has some built-in weakness." Rodger said sheepishly. "Who kidnapped you, Don?"

He was glad that the summons had worked, but his lack of knowledge about his powers could be crippling when it came to stuff that really ought to have been a simple, straight answer.

Captain Scott sat back in his chair.

"Yes....who DID kidnap you Don?"

"Nothing you need concern yourself with Rodger though if Captain Scott could inform Captain Jordan that Don says our nightmares have come back to haunt us I'd appreciate it."

Captain Scott nodded, then got on the phone.

"I need to speak to Captain Jordan right away."

Re: Weston P.D.

Rodger nodded slowly. Nightmares. That didn't sound good to him. His own nightmares were quite bad enough, thank you, without someone elses' nightmares invading real life.

"Do you see any kind of power bar or gauge in your internal displays, Don? I know with my Rich Man form, there's a power bar and I turn back when it's depleted." Rodger asked the scorpion monster softly.

"So thats what that is Yeah its going down." Don moved around a bit, clacking his claws. "Y'know this form is actually kind of badass, might be nice for scaring punks..."

Re: Weston P.D.

"I doubt I'd be with you to conjure you into it when you're going after said punks, though." Rodger answered, eying the huge claws warily. He agreed that this form did look pretty 'badass' and quite dangerous. Maybe it was a monster for other players to fight in the 'game'? He didn't know. But if his experiences with Ancient Spirits of Evil were any example, Don ought to be reverting to his human self in less than 2 hours, probably a lot sooner.

Hopefully that wouldn't delay or mess up whatever this meeting was intended for too badly.

"There are others among our number that are missing. We're not sure what's going on...Nickel somehow is off the map for the moment. I certainly hope that we haven't been ratted out."

Re: Weston P.D.

"If we have been, who would have done it? We're all dependent on the same supply of mana to stay alive." Rodger asked quietly, gesturing with one hand a bit. "Except for Hotwire and Erinyes, I don't know of any paras who can spot us, either."

Captain Scott shook his head. "I have just as much to lose in this as both you and Eskin. No...someone within our number may be trying to expose us...either that or someone's found us out without any of us knowing it."

Re: Weston P.D.

"Since whoever kidnapped you apparently isn't involved with the game, perhaps if either of you knows which gem is St. Johnny's in my display I could use Summon Girtabilu again and bring him here. Then compare notes to find out if the kidnappers are connected to each other." Rodger suggested after a little thought and checking his mana charges.
