Reginald returned her smile. "Very well. I cannot return you to that place directly, for obvious reasons, but we will return you to within walking distance that you may return by foot.

 … and, to make up for my rudeness in eating your driver, I'll have a warm meal waiting for you when you return to us."

 With that, Reginald ordered his subordinates to drive, letting her off within view of Milo's haven. It would still take her some time to walk there, but there was no danger of her getting lost. Reginald said his goodbyes quickly (as it would not do to have you two caught together) and then left, allowing her to walk home without issue.

 Milo was not present when you arrived, nor was anyone else. You had the entire place to yourself.

Nefertiti was pleased with the offer and she then got into the vehicle and headed off, when it stopped to let her out she looked around the area getting a better view of the scenery before starting to walk toward Milo's home.  As she looked around was seeing if there were any people around on the street or any synths.  It has been a long night and she still didn't get to feed so she was looking for a meal.  If not, then she would vanish then reappear into her room given by Milo.  She had no intention on walk, but she made sure that Reginald's driver was gone and no one was watching.

As she walked around the place she was seeing if there was any Blood around that she could drink.  She also wanted to collect a few items so that she could preform a Ritual that might summon a Goddess.

 As Nefertiti began heading toward Milo's abode, she happened upon a lone synth setting up building supplies, humming the same song that they all were while setting up tool caches and material bins. It seemed that the synths would be moving here in force within the next few days to repair the area.

 However, for now, the only people that seemed to be in the vicinity were you two and he wasn't paying attention to your presence at all.

When Nefertiti spotted the Synth she was going to test something upon it but then she stopped in her tracks seeing that it wasn't paying her any attention she didn't want it to alert that damn dragon that seemed to be connected to them.  She would need to find a way to make sure that her every move is not being watched.

Then she vanished from that spot and appeared in her room.  Placing the Threads safely in the room she then started walking around the place seeing if there was any Blood around that she could drink.  She also wanted to collect a few items so that she could preform a Ritual that  summon a Goddess.

 Blood wasn't something that could just be found lying around in a careful vampire's room. She knew where Milo kept the blood but that door was locked and he likely had the key.

OOC: what are you looking to collect?

OOC: Salt for the pentagram.

OOC: Salt can be fount easily enough. It's a common household item.

Nefertiti touched the door as she used her Lore power to unlock it and have a peruse as to what was all inside.  She didn't remember that she wasn't allowed to unlock a door if there was something inside she needed.  Even Milo knew that she would be thirsty soon.

With no one here to unlock it for her and she needed to be replenish in Vitae before she performs the Ritual.

22:49, Yesterday: Nefertiti rolled 1 success using 6d10 with the World of Darkness nWoD system with a target of 8, rerolling 10s with rolls of 4,6,3,8,2,2.  Open/Close Portal.

 The door opened with a click, leading her into a large walk-in closet. Inside was a refrigerator (she'd seen them before while on the island). Inside were a few packs of blood. It seemed like he didn't have many.

OOC: how much are you taking? Remember, the blood in the chalice from earlier was used to heal all your wounds.

Sorry, I must of miss read this. Thought it was downgrading to Bashing.  But if all is healed then she would only need a small amount to replace the usage of her Powers.

Is my Vitae back to full?

OOC:

 That's the key part right there. The clay downgraded it to bashing then Reginald gave you the blood to heal your wounds. There's enough blood in the fridge to fill you back to full, but no more.

OOC: What time of night is it and was there any empty building in the area?

OOC: it's about 3AM and there are several ruined buildings near Milo's abode.

Nefertiti takes the salt and the Threads and moves to an abandoned building. There she will have some privacy and not to bring the wraith of a goddess down upon Milo's building.

First she makes two different pentagrams, one for Protection and the other for Binding.

Then she will see if she is able to summon the the Ruby Sorceress, the Taciturn Queen, and the Arcane Lady.

Once that was prepared she calls out the name. "I call to thee,

The Ruby Sorceress, The Taciturn Queen, The Arcane Lady. I seek your wisdom.

 There was no verbal answer... but, nonetheless, Nefertiti felt the weight of a presence in the room with her.

“I was informed of your existence from your son, Sariel” she called out to the presence in the area.

 This time, there was a verbal answer, coming from within the circle. It was whispy and shadowy, willed with the intonations of the dead. "Sariel is dead. Only Cthulu remains now. What is it you seek?"

Nefertiti reached down to touch the Threads of Sariel

"I brought you a Token to prove he is not dead.  Are you able to see that it is his? she replied.

"I seek your wisdom, Lady Arcane

 The threads flickered out of existence and there was a long, heavy silence. "There is no doubt that these are his... and that is the only way you would have been able to learn of my old names. What wisdom do you seek?"

Nefertiti watched as the Threads flickered and then was gone.  It was a sign that her Token was taken and she could now speak with the Lady Arcane.

"I wish to learn more about YOU and your home Realm that Sariel spoke to me about. she replied calmly.

"He spoke highly of you and of your connection to Magic.  I would like to learn more about that as well.  Plus I know of the feud between you and Talion and wish to help save Sariel if possible.

 There was a long pause. "It is considered taboo among the gods to speak of what came before our current incarnation. I am not certain what has happened to Sariel to bring him here in this form, but he has likely bypassed our reincarnation. He never did like to play by the rules.

 I am and have always been the Lady of Death and Magic, She Who Passes Judgement upon the dead."

OOC: Does her voice sound familiar?

OOC: yes. It sounds like when you met Isis

Nefertiti's face contorts in horror for a brief moment as her mind tries to compel the thought of what it was thinking.  If it was correct then there is a lot she needs to uncover and what kind of game is being played here.

Taking a deep breath in

"What is the name you go by now and would you be ever so kind as to make an appearance before me? her words were calm but her mind was racing as to the fact what was she going to do now.  It seemed that she was wise to place the protection insignias before summoning her.

Thinking of what could she do to prevent anything from going wrong.

 The voice pauses for roughly three long seconds before answering. "I gave you your soul, you sought to become favored among my servants, killed my Heirophant, and you still do not know my name? It is not wise to try summoning something you do not fully understand, Nefertiti. It is also bad form to seek to summon a goddess inside a paltry summoning circle such as this... I will not be doing that."
