Regrouping (0.2.9)

 The group's extraplanar journeys finally seemed to be at an end for the forseeable future. The Land of the Dead and multiple trips to Arcadia, culminating with a trip to a place beyond that, negating half of their trips had left them mentally, physically, and spiritually drained... but there was still work to be done.

 Michael, Fate, and Nefertiti were dealing with the loss of Jay. He had been left behind at the den of wolves when they had escaped.

 Noah had taken them to an island with an amethyst mansion and a massive navy blue tanker covered in sails like the Galleons of old, fully a quarter mile in length, it dwarfed everything aside from the crystalline mansion, which was equally majestic.

 Noah and Mistral had wasted no time relocating the synthetics and forging new equipment for Fate.

 It took a little time to find Nefertiti and bring her aboard too. There, they found Grey sunbathing. Talion had locked himself in his room, covering it in barriers as he tried to get a few hours of rest.

"Right." Noah clapped still about with his human disguise. There was a small outdoor classroom with tables and chairs that he had set up a number of boxes on. He had also moved the grill off to one side but by God and country, it was not going to be stowed away.

"As a reminder the bathroom is off the lobby just inside the front door and to your left. If you guys end up running with us a long time I am sure we can find you a room but until the group is ok with you it will be a camping setup. Though we do have communal meals."

He had a box set aside for Sal, a box of the red tears ammo for when everything went elbows up. "Ammo for you Sal. Mind what you hit as each bullet is Ten Tass with a random spell attached. So whatever you shoot, no telling what will happen but treat it like a bazooka bullet."

He had a box for Mistral that he did not open. "I haven't managed to get wards on that, you are so much more skilled at wards than I am." It did have instructions. A device the size of a basketball that would expand to be a spherical cage large enough to fit eight. "Let me know when you are ready to place the wards and you can pilot my magic as well to make sure no stone is left unturned."

And a box for Fate. "They need to be fitted. It's set to voice command currently. The activation phrase is 'Sword of omens give me slice beyond slice.' until we fit it for mental control. The edge is Lunargent so be careful. It will act like silver and but it also reflects things in the twilight." The bladed vambraces looked like something right out of a science fiction film. The blades had a blue tent to them and reflected a world that was not exactly present. "They use an iPhone or standard USB charger if that matters to you."

"If you have the can of Coffee I am sure we can talk Grey into making your coat. She will need a fair bit of carbon though."


"I've also got a slate and an ear bud for each of you."

Fate accepted the box, earbud, and the slate. "Thank you very much. Lunargent? I'm afraid I'm not familiar with this material. As for the coffee I'm sure I can find a can of it. I guess I should find an external battery pack to carry as well. Any recommendations of where to start?"

"Akihabara japan is an amazing stop and just a door away if you have their currency. Otherwise, we can stop off in Texas to pick up a few backups. Hell, a wallmart in Kansas isn't too hard for the specialist. You just gotta be able to show them where to go. If you ask Mistral nicely, when you take notice of her... well if she allows you to, she can take you before we head out." He smiled, "Really anywhere but New York."

"Lunargent is one of the perfected metals. It is perfected Silver really. Helps with spells that deal with sight. And it actively acts as a mirror to the spirit world. It is tough enough that ten years of constant use may require you to sharpen it at that point." He smiled, "So do be sure to bring me plenty of corrupted werewolf parts and Nephandi and we will call it good."

Nefertiti was a bit intrigued when she was introduced to Noah when they all came searching for her.  There was something about him that wasn't right. Her head tilted slightly as she looked at him for a very long time.

"I'm Nefertiti.

I'm sure my comrades told you that but I wanted to introduce myself in person to you.
she said in a calm tone.

Her eyes did look at the mansion that they were at but still she looked at Noah again and when he started speaking and handing out boxes to a few new people she listened closely to any names mentioned.

For a moment she glanced at Sal and there was something about him that she was very familiar with.  He was of the Undead but he was standing in the daylight.  Surely a powerful enchantment he discovered or a Power that she hasn't heard of.

He didn't mention the name of the female that was skilled at wards but she did have a strange aura about herself.  Then hearing that Noah was able to pilot his magic to aid in her ward was also something very intriguing to hear.

Then she saw as Fate was handed a box as well and hearing about what he has given her was surely something she never heard of before.

Noah inclined his head to Nefertiti, "Pleasure to meet you. I am Noah, the Dragon of Purgatory." He started thumbing through his own slate. "They didn't mention anything you needed directly. Do you require any payment for taking us to the site of the corrupted wolves? Cant do much on a really short notice but I can do a few things."

Her eyebrow arched when he mentioned his title, and a smile came to her face.

She heard of such beings but never had she ever met one or thought she would be standing next to one.
"A mythical being. she said with her smile still upon her face.

She looked to Michael and then to Fate as she didn't think they would expect a payment for showing him where there was such foul beings upon the world. "I don't require any payment for helping in riding the world of such evil. her smile seemed to have vanished.

"I over heard you mentioning you are able to use Magic.  I too am able to use magic but it seemed that I am not as connected to magic as I remember. she said with a sadden expression upon her face.

"It seems that I have lost something that I dearly wish to regain. her voice seemed lower as she spoke.  Looking around she move a bit closer to Noah "

Noah nodded, "There are a few confirmed beings right out of fiction. An Emperor class spirit, a tech golem, we may have a minor god who is currently doing something to a lord class fea... and one earthbound class deamon with his crew."

"Sk if there are corrupted werewolves we kinda need to see what's going on until the old tribes come back."


He tapped his glass cane twice. "I can make a lower grade version of what you want but if I was in your shoes I would want the orignal back. If we head back to the land of the dead we may be able to find it. You'll need a few goblin coins of you sant a way back."

"There are other ways to find what you lost. Any idea how thr lost connections happened?"

She shakes her head. “I do not. But I don’t think it’s in the land of the Dead. I hope not.

She looked at him. “That is why I need someone with Strong magic to find it.

Sal politely introduced himself to the newcomers. "I am Sal Heilyn. Pleased to meet you all. Some of you may have guessed what I am. When you have earned my trust, we can discuss it. Before then, as long you don't harm my friends, or anyone else I may choose to protect, you have little to fear from me-- though I warn you, should we go into battle, for your own safety, keep your distance. I am very careful to remain in control of myself, but it is never guaranteed."

To Nefertiti and Noah, he then said, "Land of the Dead? Let's try and avoid that place, if at all possible."

Regrouping (0.2.9)

The watercraft on which Noah had ferried in the guests seemed to have set course for nothing but open sea, despite his claim that it was not so far.  There was a shaded mirage out on the sea that never seemed to get closer than the horizon, but that was it.  Yet, after some time of traveling the mirage appeared to loom rapidly closer until it quite suddenly resolved into an immense blue galleon parked next to an glittering amethyst geode island, about a mile away.  One would think such an extraordinary place would attract society's attention, yet it seemed to be much more difficult to find than one might expect.

OOC: just a quick detour to describe a thing Mist made that would affect the arrival experience, carry on :)

An unremarkable figure drifted past Noah's tables unnoticed, just another of the multitudes of people passing unremembered through one's periphery each day.  Logically there really shouldn't be anonymous figures about this strange place, but that was neither here nor there.  The box that had sat upon the table went missing, but it was hard to recall when anybody had last seen it.

After some length of discussion, a French-accented woman's voice spoke up from nowhere to inquire, "Do the nouveaux arrivants have names?  These are those who recovered the synths, I take it?"  A pale woman leaned against a nearby table with blue-tipped white hair windblown under a wide-brimmed sun hat, peering through oversized, bright-blue sunglasses at a basketball-sized sphere of many interlocking segments.  She must have been there for some time, but it was rather odd that nobody had noticed her arrive.  She carefully set the sphere back into its box, then arose to approach the gathering.  She silently regarded each of the newcomers in turn, but didn't seem inclined to introduce herself.

The woman's gaze turned to Nefertiti, the only name she'd heard, and remarked, "Nefertiti, after the queen of eighteenth dynasty Egypt.  A good name.  Puissante."  She paused for a long few moments, then asked in an even tone, "What is this that you have lost, and wish to find again?"

Nefertiti looked to Sal and smiled "Ventrue? she asked as she looked him up and down and was kind to introduce himself but still there was a bit of a threat in there but she had nothing to worry about.  She has been around his Clan mates before and they are seek power and to believe that they are Lords of the Undead.

"Which Covenant do you belong to?  I so wish to go to an Elysium and see who all have survived these many many many years I been away. she smiled and allowed those words to sink into Sal's mind.  He can see that she is not Kindred but he may also notice that she possess a bit of Clan Mekhet looks, personality and mannerism.

She smiled to his comment about avoiding it. "I agree but if I must go there to seek what I misplace then I shall go.

She was about to say something when out of the corner of her eye she got a odd glimpse of something or someone but then they were gone.

Turning to the pale skin woman who would surely looked to be part of the Undead world but there was a pulse in her veins.  Seeing that she was wise enough to hear her name and call her out but still was being coy about giving hers.  Taking notice of her language was a bit foreign.

Nefertiti nodded her head to the comment about the name of a Queen as she herself is also a Queen of the Eighteenth Dynasty.

Noah nodded. "Right, let's get the vambraces fitted and last call before we head out." Noah's back pushed outward and there was a ripping sound like wrapping paper at Christmas. Out from that rip came a four legged dragon, about the size of a large horse. It was streamlined and colored a shiny mother of pearl color.

The husk he was hiding in turned into Mana vapor before sailing off on the wind.

He clapped his talons and pulled a small, in his hands, tube. And yes he did wear clothing fitted to him. "Right, let's get your weapons online. I have a few survival rifles left over if you need long range fire power as well."

He trundled upright toward Fate to calibrate her gear of so allowed.

Shock and awe covers Fate's face, but she snaps out of it once the dragon approaches and starts speaking to her. "I'm not much of a ranged fighter," she looks back at the shell the dragon came from then back to the dragon. "but I suppose it would be prudent to have both types of weapons. I appreciate it." She leaves the box to be opened by him rather than chance messing with the blades herself yet. She allows him to do what he needs to to fit the weapons to her.

He smiled at Fate. "Better to have an option and not need it than to be harmed for the lack of it." He clapped his hands again and his palms covered in a silver material like Grey. The whole process took no more time than slipping them into her forearms and letting them shift down like a second skin. "The emergency release is on the inside near the bend in your arm, just encase there is some unknown need. And please do keep in mind it's still synth tech, so some synths will know where they are, power down if you need to sneak past an E.D. unit or something."

Nefertiti also watched as Fate acquired some very interesting new gear. "Are you pleased with these items for the upcoming battle and you may be able to achieve your goal with Mr. Cook. she asked Fate then something came to the surface of her mind and she looked to Noah.

Have you ever of  The Harvester ? she asked Noah.
