While Kairos had initially begun to notice whatever was happening, he was similarly drawn into the memory chase with the others. Though his seemed to have lasted a fair bit of time, when he came out of his, he looked around quickly and especially towards the copy of himself with a frown. Certainly not what he had expected to say the least!





OOC: 08:16, Fri 11 June: Kairos Mortrose rolled 3 successes using 5d10 with the World of Darkness nWoD system with a target of 8, rerolling 10s with rolls of 8,3,9,3,8.  Composure + Resolve.

Went ahead and posted his 'coming around' post instead of waiting for some PM clarifications. Didn't want to hold things up for too long.

Aegis instinctively pushed his clone away, yelling, "Get the hell off of me..." and then stopped abruptly when he noticed it was an exact clone of himself. "Who, what, the hell are you?" He focused his eyes on the clone, trying to determine if it was a living creature or something else.

Instant action to activate active Life mage sight. Spending 1 willpower and mana and attempting a revelation, but failed.

17:42, Today: Aegis failed (no successes) using 2d10 with the World of Darkness nWoD system with a target of 8, rerolling 10s with rolls of 7,5.  Revelation on copy, 4(Gnosis+Acanum)+1 mana+3 (1 willpower)-6 opacity

As Aegis pushes away his copy it bumps into the door knocking it open. As the door opens it flees out of the door knocking Brownie over in its haste.

Brownie stands on the porch staring in at quite a strange scene on the other side of Morrigan's door as he's barreled into by one of the many pairs of twins in this house.

Virgil stands there surrounded by the others and their twins with his sword drawn.

Strawberry and her twin embrace in the foyer near the door. "Thank you, this is more than I ever dreamed"

Konkretus stands before his twin as it too embraces him while whispering "Thank you, Thank you." (-1 point of mana)

Vagrant and his twin watch each other


Sharvara returns to the present and is greeted by a tight hug from a man wearing his appearance. As this man grips Sharvara he whispers to Sharvara "Don't worry Dev, with me here they'll feel your wrath" (-1 point of Mana)

Morrigan also snaps out her confusion and immediately pushes off her twin just as she reaches to grab her, "Don't fucking touch me" she screams.

Isis snaps to her senses too gathered in the foyer with the other mages and is embraced by her twin. During the embrace, her twin whispers to her "Come with me, join me. They are powerless before your beauty, wracked with yearning. They ache for your guidance."


Kairos too recovers his wits and comes to his senses hugging himself in Morrigan's foyer. (-1 point of Mana) The twin users Kairos's sleeper name, his true name as he addresses Kairos, asking if he can stay like this, stating this condition is addictive.

Hunter too recovers his wits having been lost in the emotional memories(-1 WP, -1 Mana). He's situated further back in the house, in the living room. As he comes back around he see's a copy of himself gripping his wrist. The copy whispers "You don't deserve any of it, not the way you lie to them. I'll tell them the truth and then see if they still accept you."

Sparrow too recovers her wits having been lost in the emotional memories (-1 WP, - 1 Mana).
She awakes to find a copy of her calmly laying down with it's head in her lap. As she stares down at herself, the copy whispers "What are you really trying to do here? No one needs you. Just run away again like always."

Still unsure how her other self can be a spirit, she attempts to command it. She utters powerful words in the language that predates times:

"Spirit, I command thee: Stop draining my mana and stay here so I can fugure out a way to help you."
The last bit is not strictly necessary, as she knows, but she hates the business of commanding spirits and prefers finding mutually agreeable solution. If the white man had spent more time listening to the spirits, America wouldn't be the sad toxic landscape of today. She tries to justify her spell by telling herself that you can't negotiate with someone attacking you.

Carefully, she eyes the form before her, hoping it will heed her command, her face an inscrutable mask hiding her discomfort and her insecurity.

Konkretus is not immediately alarmed, more confused, and he returns the embrace, not wanting to reject himself.  He murmurs, "Who are you?  What are you?" and reaches out to the other being's mind.

Vagrant's eyes widened in surprise at what his mage sight revealed. Whatever this thing was, it wasn't an illusion. From what he had heard from other mages the magic involved in creating a living, apparently sentient, being was not beyond the realm of possibility for masters of prime magic. Yet, this didn't feel like something conjured up by an awakened.

"You asked for help... help with what?" he asked cautiously.

Turning to Aegis "I have the slightest idea, maybe we can get more information from our hostess.

Virgil snapped his sword back in its sheathe as he assessed the chaos all around him, intently focused on the sympathetic connections in the room. He then looks to Brownie. “Stop that.... whatever the hell it is.” He looks back to the room full of people and their doppelgängers. “When y’all are done cuddling, can you push those things away so I can strike?” Virgil gripped his weapon and began to focus.

21:56, Today: Virgil rolled 2 successes using 4d10 with the World of Darkness nWoD system with a target of 8, rerolling 10s with rolls of 3,9,2,10(+3).  Incognito Presence (160) Mind 3/Gnosis 1, +1 Reach .

Hunter stood in front of the warehouse, failing to see what the damn angel wanted him to see. "Pierce the Lie!" Anduriel roared, brandishing his flaming sword. Dutifully, he did so... and paused. He had penetrated the illusion all right, but there was another one behind that, a stronger one. Moving through that, he found himself back in Morrigan's house. Shit, thing had gotten him! Smashing his dupe back, he denied it "Yer ain't real bub" and ploughed through the last threads of the not-a-spell.

Okay, that was how it worked. "Listen up you lot" he shouted. "That" he jerked a thumb at the wind "is witch weather, caused by a fucking big effect. Cain't call it a spell, cos it ain't awakened magic. Summat else. Anyways, it is big, mean, an it comes in two parts. First part is a nobbler, gets you lost in memory. That lets the second part that kinda-sorta Scours you fer power by making a dupe of you get at you easy. It is Archmagey level magic an it is centered three mile North-West of here. Fust things fust, you gotta get the leech offen yer back. Them dupes. Jest deny them an hit them, gets rid of them. Second, we needs Mind protections."

Aegis's copy scurries off the porch, rolling down the stairs and only standing to run once he hit the ground. As he runs Aegis feels a pull on his mana(-2 mana) while anyone watching can see a soft light glow around the copy as it flees. (This triggers peripheral mage sight)

Isis's copy laughs as it walks to the kitchen, before stepping out of sight it, she says to Isis, "Who am I, indeed." Isis, you feel a pull on your mana (-2) (This triggers peripheral mage sight)

Virgil as you watch the room cloaked in a veiling of mind you feel a pull on your mana (-2 mana), your sword glows slightly. (This triggers peripheral mage sight)

Strawberry, your twin stands before snarred in the chains of your magic. It lashes out with a wave of something (This triggers peripheral mage sight) but it stands before you still, unmoving.

Konkretus, your twin's mind open before you.  You and your twin glow slightly while you feel a slight pull on your mana (-2) (This triggers peripheral mage sight)

Kairos, your twin takes your silence as consent. "Thank you" You feel a pull on your mana (-2) and the twin glows slightly. (This triggers peripheral mage sight) He then walks to the back of the house and out onto the beach.

Sharvara, your twin clings to you tightly. You feel a pull on your mana (-2) and he glows slightly. (This triggers peripheral mage sight) Your soul marks reveal this being lacks a soul entirely, you also learn it has a persistent condition of "Wrath"from the markings it does bear.

Vagrant, your twin replies quietly. "Help with not being trapped as one, help with being alone, help with not hurting anymore. We were together in a terrible place." Vagrant, you feel a pull on your mana (-2) as your twin glows slightly.

Morrigan's twin gets up and quickly runs out of the door joining Aegis's copy.

Hunter, your twin follows Morrigans. You feel a slight pull on your mana (-2 mana). You can see your twin glowing slightly as it flees.

Vagrant frowned as he felt an even greater amount of magical energy being sucked away by his double. He didn't like the ominous glow that the other him was taking on, nor did he like the vague half answers he was getting to his questions.

"Look, I want to help you. But I'm going to ask you this nicely exactly once: stop draining my mana without permission. And if you want permission, you're going to need to be a lot more clear about what you intend to use it for"

As he spoke Vagrant's hand drifted up to the dogtags hanging around his neck, his thumb rubbing them a few times.

Sharvara feels the pull of mana from his pattern, and with the realization from the spell, makes the attempt to shove his double away from himself.

"They are souless copies, don't try and reason with them. Who's looking for a Moros." He shouts the above for the rest and tries responding to the other clear voice barking out instructions.

Strawberry takes a step back and fixates her spirit twin. She has it, and now she needs its name and its weaknesses.

She could of course go the polite way and speak with it, but her impatience gets the better of her and she decides to rip the knowledge out of the spirit without asking. She touches a hand to the pendant around her neck and commands the spirit to reveal its nature. She brushes aside the shame of being discourteous to a spirit, but taking the direct route feels good, damn good.


Know Spirit [page 180] (no Praxis/Rote, Spirit 1/3) - Reach used: instant, sensory, advanced potency. Yantra: High speech, personal tool.

Name and bane are her priorities. She uses a wp point (which she might get back because she acts impatiently - not sure if/how this is the right way to do it. I took a -2 to potency to learn more (cancels out High speech)

"Oh no you don't thief!" Hunter roared, his Asp snapping out as he leveled it at his double. Firefly sparks gathered around the double, then dispersed harmlessly. Hunter's shoulders slumped. "Damn, nothing works on these things."

"Over here" he replied to Sharvara. "These things is drawn from our mind somehow, we needs to block that. Not trained in Mind. In other words, help!"

Isis didn't like the false copy of her sister or was it a copy of her, in either case she stared at it as it walked away trying her best to study the being and wondered who created it and what is draining her Mana. Seeing that its not going to the copy but its going somewhere....

Walking to the kitchen as well to keep a close eye on the copy and being ready to cast a Spell upon it to Dispel it.

Spending a WP to determine its being.  (scrutinize)

Konkretus, high speech unravels itself within your mind as you become aware of the answers you seek. You lose another point of mana (-1) and the copy of you glows slightly. Your mage sight registers something.

Vagrant, your double whispers back to you "I am free now, that is all I need." He steps back away from you before he turns a walks out the door. As he crosses the threshold he shimmers before fading from sight. (This pings everyone's mage sigh)

Sharvara your double moves back quickly after you shove it away. You yet again feel the pull on your mana (-1) and see the double glow slightly. It quickly runs for a nearby window where it jumps through and before hitting the glass it shimmers. (this pings everyone's mage sight)

Strawberry your twin stands before fixated by your commend. It cries out in a strange tongue and you feel a wave of power wash over the area (This pings your mage sight). You can hear a strange, quiet scratching noise and start to see a few cockroaches in the house.  "Free me from your command, mother witch. I am new to this world and wish to see more of it. I grow impatient."

Hunter, you gain no mana from the spell. You can feel it grip the creature only to find nothing it can hold, the pattern for mana that it seeks not found in your double. "Thief, you steal their future and seal their doom with your lies. I will show you their true beliefs" Hunter, as your double says this it slowly backs away to the nearest window, you feel a familiar pull on your mana (-1 mana), and like Sharvara's double it leaps towards the window before shimmering and disappearing (This triggers everyone's mage sight) A hazy outline can be seen running further away from the house by those with twilight sight attended to death/mind.

Aegis you see your copy in the front yard next to Morrigan. Your mage sight sings of various phenomena as you close in on the pair. You feel a familiar pull on your mana (-1 mana). Morrigan grabs your copy and both shimmer before fading from sight. (This triggers your mage sight as well)

Isis, as you turn the corner you only catch the fading image of your twin. You too feel a familiar pull on your mana (-1 mana). It is long enough for you to scrutinize it with your active mage sight - You learn it not awakened magic, it is mere minutes old and most resembles a practice you are unfamiliar with (Gnosis+Int to make sense of this)

Kairos, you learn of the spirit as you plumb its memory. All are fresh to you, the newest you have ever seen memories. You feel a familiar pull on your mana (-3 mana) As you study your copy you see it slowly fade from sight. (This triggers your mage sight) You continue to see a hazy outline run through a nearby wall and out of the house.

Virgil, you continue to feel a strong pull on your mana into your sword which glows slightly (-3 mana)

Sharvara curses loudly as the rest of the copies get away. He takes a quick breathe to compose him, and tries to respond to Hunter with a leveled response. “Sir, wrong Path, I have no skill with Mind, focus yourself, the immediate battle seems at a close. Don’t panic under pressure.

After the light chastising, he looks at Strawberry, “How long can you keep it trapped?“ He rests a hand on his sidearm in it’s holster under his shirt, making sure he can draw it in an instant should the last copy get loose.

Konkretus pulls back from his mental contact.  He speaks quietly, half under his breath. "A spirit.  It's a spirit.  How strange."  He seems distracted, staring out the windows into the front yard, and he concentrates as he does so, working magic.  "There's something out there..." he says, then takes off running, out the front door, vaulting down the steps, seeming to be in hot pursuit.

Strawberry tells the spirit: "You can come with me. Spirits have places where they belong and I have the perfect place for you. Run off or attack me and I will call you back from wherever you may hide and end your existence. We can talk about the rules on the way."

She is quite sure that she will have to move fast to give impatience a place where impatience is common and seen as something positive: A sports arena for some kind of team game. Of course she could just exterminate the poor thing, but each spirit has a place, her grandfather had always said. Killing the poor confused thing would be against her people's ways.

She already has her phone out and googles for something local that sounds promising.

ooc: Int + computer + phone (1 resource, so I assume one die). 2 successes, even without the phone bonus. Can spirits change their appearance?
