Cthulhu

From ✖ ToXic Noir ✖

Pieter Seelowe raises his hand as speech comes back to those in the room again, hoping his point was made clear

Quiet Thunders nods waving a hand towards Calleigh urging her to continue

Calleigh Constantine looks about the room, catching the gesture from Quiet and presses on, "Alright, the so called door ways I presume are the ways that the Priests had gone through into our world. Question?"

Blueray Darkes finding she got her voice back, "More like a statement, the words were found to be saying something along the lines of. To put in to keeping a superpower ashes of a god, that is the jist of it".

Nerissa Dae lets a talon tap the table as she glowers at the throng of people spread out before her in a montlely crew of misfits and miscreants. "Of course." She hisses under her cold breath.

Calleigh Constantine nods slowly as she runs a few fingers through her hair, pulling back some bangs as she begins to pace back and forth on the table carefully. "I've heard that and a hebrew translation along the lines of this," She pauses, pulling out a piece of paper, "Evil, Was Told, On Him, Was Ordered, On his Right, while the single latter most likely mean Dagon." She puts it away, tapping her chin as a hand gestures out, "Perhaps this needs to be worked on more, it's a message or it's either just the means to open this gateway for these beings from this other world to enter ours-- these beings in the name of Dagon, yet I think there is something more to this."

Blueray Darkes: "Indeed there are two sides at current one who serve Dagon and one who are against him because they betrayed him"

Calleigh Constantine nods for a moment before seeing a hand out the corner of her eye, she looks up to Cosmo, "Yes?"

Cosmo Smythe raises a brow... "How sure can anyone be of the proper translation of the symbols? For certain many observations have been made?"

Calleigh Constantine: "As far as I've heard, there's only been two; and you've got a point, we can't but we cannot deny what is coming from them. Their all one way, yet we've got these creatures coming through-- case and point the creature in the hospital." She shakes her head, "Case and point we need to get rid of this all together- already the report came in that Dimentox is a mindless brain slug of one of the Priests."

Cosmo Smythe nods in agreement and silences

Blueray Darkes: "Oh well not a big loss there about Dimentox"

Athan Petrov: What about that thing which killed me?Does that have anything to do with all this shit?

Picket McDonnell says "Well in my opinion we need to speak to the fishfaces again... err the Priests of Cthulhu. Since he requested that we shove the Dagon guys into the portal, but the Dagon guys break the portals, we need something stronger. Anyone know how to summon those guys? Cause seriously they are currently the only ones that have shown no aggression to the city"

Nerissa Dae utters a low growl, "They know more about it probably then anyone." She mutters and turns back to Athan. "We'll worry about it later."

deserai Davidov: smiles " indeed they do they have written scrolls and manuscripts from the last time"

Calleigh Constantine looks to Picket and nods, thinking for a moment, "We might need to do this one on our own guys; get as many people as we can to try and create our own version... but the problem is that are they really meaning us no harm? Remember, once upon a time these guys had come to the city before and tried this once before-- I don't think we should give them the chance."

Picket McDonnell nods "well I don't say trust them... but its a lot easier to fight one evil then two at once right? Use one to take out the other, then kick the ass of the one left standing"

Fine Caliber gives up all hope of being called on, speaks out of turn anyway, "I've a few things to say."

Calleigh Constantine glances over and hears Fine, nodding, "Go ahead!"

Fine Caliber: In my opinion, either translation lends itself to the possibility that the writing is just a label of some sort, not instruction. With that said...Seeing things go in and out of the portal, the power of the chalice, isn't it safe to assume that something is coming? Especially with the increased number of the portals. In which case... Pending discovery of what exactly is headed our way, battle strategy should be our main point of focus.

deserai Davidov: coughs a little " indeed fine" wonders if the translations past to them have any significance

Fine Caliber: "Oh and another thing. I thought the mutated one in the hospital picked itself up from the Library's archives and made it's way to where it lays now."

Nerissa Dae snorts. "No loss, cousin. I am sure you would just grow another pair back." she states.

Kit: maybe....... They're trying to bring Dagon HERE *she murmurs*

Nerissa Dae 's glistening black eyes roll. "They did it once before. TRIED. Miserably. And failed. He was killed and the Gate closed before they could get through." She snarls quietly.

Stiletto Vendetta looks at the faces in the crowd who were not present at yesterday's meeting.. "has anyone else had luck in identifying the symbols on the radiate lines of the portals?

Calleigh Constantine nods, clearing her voice, "Hence why I called this meeting, something is coming and well, there's no way on our own we're going to be able to fight. With this green creature appearing, the Priests and well," she gestures to the Shadow Men, "We got something comin' to us... " She pauses for a moment, tilting her head as if listening to someone as if whispering, "But guys, there is a shread of information, yes, the Priests from experiences past is trying to bring Dagon here, which in turn will bring something else... bigger."

Picket McDonnell raises her hand and says "they are pagan symbols but we really should ask the omegans what they mean since they are the same sort of portal that was used when they brought dime back"

Kit looks up at Calleigh, "What?"

Stiletto Vendetta: "That's the rub, myself and the Omegans have been working closely on them.. fruitlessly so far."

Redd Weston: "all of us present came after that event..you need to ask a Praetor later"

Kishi Bleac raises an eyebrow looking at picket "what do you know of pagan symbols?"

Nerissa Dae unconsciously jerks on Hizu's hair and lets go before she can hurt him further to sit back again in her chair and listen to the discussion further. "Should talk to those that were around in the beginning. But good luck on that."

Picket McDonnell says "I was there the night they brought Dimentox back and if I am not mistaken it was the work of Delrith, Omega herself and nareth... so maybe ask one of them?"

Blueray Darkes: Delrith is out of town

Stiletto Vendetta: "I am beginning to think there is nothing to be gained from deciphering them." she says of the symbols on the portals.

Nikki (Dimitri Matova) sighed at the words and clenched his fists

Picket McDonnell shrugs "I don't know a thing about them Kishi. I am going by what I heard the night I saw the first portal of that kind"

Calleigh Constantine tilts her head for a moment thinking. "Let's put it this way, from what I was told that the priests had come to the City looking for converts to help bring forth Dagon to, well, Kill him and take power, and from that..." She shakes her head, "God knows what."

Redd Weston: "the devourer is an unrelated topic".."and one that need not be discussed here"

Nerissa Dae speaks under her breath. "How many more ya gonna hurt, Omegans?"

Fine Caliber: I think the symbols, which I originally thought to be astrological, could be in fact symbols belonging to a tightly knit group. Kind of like hobo symbols. I agree with Stiletto. No use in deciphering them.

Calleigh Constantine listens to the banter, quirking a brow before raising her voice slightly, "We should not be fighting each other at this time-- who ever and whatever if anyone concocted this plan to bring this reckoning upon us, I do not think it is one of the factions that would so deliberity wish to destroy our city."

Nikki (Dimitri Matova) looked up *The reckoning?* shi looked to Cal *Remember what happened to the Reckoning?*

Cosmo Smythe nods "If in hebrew why not call it the holy grail?"

Stiletto Vendetta volunteers, "I've learned of a way that is used to communicate to the old ones.. by a secret society. Perhaps that could be of some use?"

Fine Caliber looks to Cosmo "There was an earlier theory someone postured, apologies for not remembering who, that called the chalice the Cup of Collection."

Nerissa Dae moves to rise from her seat. "Anything is of use."

deserai Davidov: shouts over to Stiletto " the hebrew is a deterrent"

Stiletto Vendetta: "There are devices much like crystal balls that disciples of Dagon use to communicate with him, and the other old ones.. we could seek out one of these and attempt to use it ourselves." Stiletto Vendetta nods to Des.

Calleigh Constantine: "It's worth a shot Stil, if you want to give it ago, go for it and keep us up with details."

Nikki (Dimitri Matova) looks to Stil *Perhaps the Coven can turn it...*

Calleigh Constantine looks down to Nikki and grins slightly, "Not THE Reckoning, a figure of speach in this case." She looks across, seeing a hand go up, she winks for a moment before looking across, "Alright, Fine, this theory, we'll get to that in a second, but," She looks to Justinaa, "Speak up hun."

Nerissa Dae comes around to snap a finger against Athan's ear for his attention before she speaks something to him personally.

deserai Davidov listens to her method and nods " yes a good idea still

Merician Lacava nods agreement to Stil, "Use it to find Nyarlathotep, Stil."

Stiletto Vendetta: "The technique is known as scrying.." she explains, wondering if the Coven members know this technique

Nikki (Dimitri Matova) muttered to Cal *I didn't mean those pesky fangers either, but the way they were undone...*

Stiletto Vendetta: "There is a risk associated with that strategy, though.."

From ✖ ToXic Noir ✖

Justinaa Asturias: "I'm really surprised at this gather of intellecutal people here but has anyone actually thought to sit and ask those two cloacked shadowpeople about any of this personally or are we to just sit her and grope around in the dark over looking the fact There here and might be willing to answer some questions"

Stiletto Vendetta: "The communication is .. two-way.. and the old ones will quickly become aware of the user on our end."

Cosmo Smythe: "I say a lot is known that isn't being shared for the good of all here..."

Arthores Faulkes: so keep the priest alive and make it speak on our behalf

Merician Lacava snorts softly, "Find Nyarlathotep. He will not wake the Old Ones, as he serves them and would not want to know he is compromised."

Stiletto Vendetta: "any ideas on how to get a scrying glass?" she asks the room

Arthores Faulkes shrugs "ask the shadow men" laughing as he says that

Calleigh Constantine glances over, eyeing the beings as she leans against the wall behind her. She murmured "I don't think they would talk to us, they think them all high and mighty." Her eyes flicker over to the conversation of Nyarlathotep, "Coven has scrying glasses, we can provide, and this outer beings, even if these Priests summoned Dagon, killed him, took what ever power he had and tried to call in this new diety, I don't believe it'd get through, but it is best to presume the worst."

Rhaven Twine breaks her silence, finally. "I would need a purified crystal." She murmurs, glancing over to the known members of the Coven.

Stiletto Vendetta looks to Calleigh, nodding "There is something perhaps we've all been overlooking about these so-called 'old-ones'.." she interjects.Their power comes in part from their protean, ill-defined nature.. the very thing that causes us insanity."

Arthores Faulkes: "guess I'm the only one who wants this new diety to get though, i think it would be an intriguing fight"

Calleigh Constantine she bows her head after she had given a small nod, "Stiletto, if you like, speak about the old-ones... after that, I suggest we move into coming up with a plan."

Athan Petrov speaks up "Someone agrees with me! It would be fun even if we all died!"

Stiletto Vendetta: "Well, the elusiveness and intangibility is what they thrive upon..Once they are formalized into symbol systems and related to intellectual metasystems, some of their primal intensity is lost. In other words.. we should try to NAME them..As soon as you name something you remove its power ."

Fine Caliber: "Fuck it. Let's get to it then."

deserai Davidov: "and return as drageons minions"

Kit: "So how would we name them?"

Stiletto Vendetta smirks. "It has to be the correct name of course..maybe by scrying, we could get them to reveal their name.."

Tonks Akina: "Yes, naming is a powerful move. Name then in symbol and word?"

Calleigh Constantine murmurs, "They have names, various names of dieities we already know-- true names lost unless dug through ancient texts..." Her hands slipped under the cloth at herwirsts, fingers brushing over the gold bracelets as she tried to remove them once again.

Tonks Akina: "Do we have to name them the the names they claim?"

Arthores Faulkes: "it has to be their original names, cause most likely the names they claim are not there original ones"

Stiletto Vendetta nods, pondering her thoughts. "The very nature is hard for the minds of this world to comprehend. they can barely be perceived, and forever 'lurk' at the edge of awareness..I wonder who among us has the capacity to even perceive these beings in their fullness."

Merician Lacava gazes to Call, "Can their associated elements be used to defeat them?"

Rhaven Twine lisings, falling quiet again, to the laymen metaphysics bouncing about the room; legends and lore of mays and may nots. She'd spoken up once but, now, contents to sit and quietly observe.

Fine Caliber: How can we even trust what we 'know,' when all we know is what's left for us. Things that were probably filtered through them, might I add.

Calleigh Constantine closes her eyes as she thinks, "Beings that would know and be able to say these names..." Her eyes looks to the Shadow men once again, shaking her head as she murmurs, "There's gotta be someone in this city that's gotta be able to." She looks over to the man speaking, "Perhaps, it's worth a shot, if we can dig this up and apparently, its safe to say these diety's element is of water, so, battle it with it's opposite."

Stiletto Vendetta looks to Calleigh.. If any among your family is silent, perahps you could encourage them to offer their thoughts.. this is no time for shyness.."

Fine Caliber: "That's for damn sure" nods to Stiletto.

Nikki (Dimitri Matova) says '... Water...? Heatray...'

deserai Davidov turns to Stiletto " If the scrying glass succeed then we could be summoning up an evil that we are not ready for yet as toxians we need to be together and prepared for what is to come may it be through the portals until you have an accurate translation on the symbols and readings is it best to study the archives for now"

Stiletto Vendetta nods to Des, and shifts her gaze to Calleigh. "I agree that the risk is multifaceted.. Someone more knowledgable in that area should be the one to evaluate that strategy." frowns at the whispering.

Fine Caliber looks to deserai, "I still think it's just a label. Even if we were if to find the meanings, I doubt it's going to be an operations manual. Besides, the true meaning laying behind the words is only kept with the ones who wrote them."

Calleigh Constantine glances around at her brothers and sisters as she sighs, "This is also why I held this meeting, for the help of all those in the city, not just the Coven, but all. It's really relying on each and everyone of us to get through this..." She looks to Justinaa again, nodding, "Go for it."She glances around at her brothers and sisters as she sighs, "This is also why I held this meeting, for the help of all those in the city, not just the Coven, but all. It's really relying on each and everyone of us to get through this..." She looks to Justinaa again, nodding, "Go for it."

deserai Davidov nods and turns to the person leaning on her friend "Do you have something you would like to share with us some knowledge perhaps helpful to this"

Rhaven Twine: "An actual Witch, a practiced Pagan, might have been able to help." She speaks up again. "Or have some inkling to what might have been needed if not the resources to discover how to proceed." She shrugs, quieting once more.

Calleigh Constantine notes that Justinaa doesn't speak up and looks back to Rhaven, "I can see who in the Coven maybe able to help this, however, I would like to get help from all the houses, all of us search for an answer. Many minds than one is better..." She taps her chin as she thinks, pausing, "Alright, if there's more info, requests, ideas, lets speak them now, how in the hell we as citizens are going to deal with this"

Stiletto Vendetta: "my suggestion remains.. attempt to ascertain the names of the old ones by scrying.. perhaps seeking allies amongst their host.."

deserai Davidov smiles at calleighs perceptivness " my thoughts exactly"

Justinaa Asturias raises her hand and looks over to Calleigh "just let us know what you need us to do right now its hard to keep up so come speak to us when its more calm here please"

Dryl Morgwain whispers, "As for their names, I can give them to you in a list within an hour if need be."

Stiletto Vendetta nods to Cici.." such as the old one you mentioned, or the one called Yig.."

Rhaven Twine: "There are witches outside of the Coven" She responds, nodding as well. "You needed a scrying tool. A purified crystal; unflawed and untainted, and the power to infuse the stone."

Fine Caliber speaks up, "I've a skeletal battle strategy worked up, and as a portal has shifted from in front of the Factory to in front of the Church, I think The Continuum base may be an ideal command center."

Stiletto Vendetta nods to Dryl, "lovely.."

Jarne Corvale looks to Fine, "Ryder base doesn't have a portal either."

deserai Davidov thanks dryl for the valid information " it is a start"

Merician Lacava nods to Still, "There is also Yog-Sothoth, the gate keeper."

Calleigh Constantine smiles and nods, "Alright then, Miss Dryl, I'd appreciate it, then we'll get the information out about the city." She taps her chin, snapping her fingers, "An idea, we work in all of our strengths; gather together three groups from all the families; One group for information, another for the magic and mystical aspect, the third for the actual patrol watching our new guests of the city. I'll take names and seek help and guidence from them all once again."

Fine Caliber looks to Jarne. "True. Would be nice to have something in the South as well."

Stiletto Vendetta nods in agreement with Calleigh.

deserai Davidov bows his head slightly deep in thought " tell me omegans is it possible they could have changed their names

Fine Caliber raises her hand. "Calleigh, I'd like offer the strength and services of Continuum resources."

Stiletto Vendetta looks to Dryl. "I shall meet with you immediately following this council, my dear."

Calleigh Constantine glances over to Fine and grins, bowing her head, "Thanks, I will keep it in mind but here's the idea, I'll leave notes with members from each of the city for the names of all those are willing to help.. at that I think it's time to call this meeting to an end."

deserai Davidov: leans over and whispers to dryl " can you tell me the significance of these umbridges and what they mean to draegon"

Stiletto Vendetta looks over to Cici. "Please, sister, I would like your company."

Dryl Morgwain whispers, "What do you mean, sir? I must also hasten to add that it seems quite a bit of the assumed historical data I have access to is.... vague and self-contradicting as was noted yesterday..."

Stiletto Vendetta nods to Calleigh, "I thank you on behalf of the Kindred Alliance for your efforts at organizing this meeting."

Calleigh Constantine waves her hand as she summons a pad of paper to herself from flames and began to write as she stepped down from the table, a satisfied smile appearing as she scribbles away.

deserai Davidov: smiles " well i heard someone trying to communicate to draegon through a member of our community and he reffered to her as an umbridge as he seemed to be speaking directly to dreagon himself

Calleigh Constantine: "It's my pleasure, I'd rather this be over and done with so we can go back to our normal lifestyles."

Switched demoness (part I)

The white winter sunshine made it warm enough for us prowlers to sit outside the FishCo and play.
So when Cierra saw my tail swishing in the air from the awning and she got the urge to yoink it so she gave it a tug giggling.
"Hey there Cierra"
"Hey there back to ya" she grinned "See I like you better as a tom"
I was about to answer when Quiet made a bee line for the post and after giving it a harsh poke "No more trying to woo and steal love from my kitten mister post". We laughed remembering Sabtina moment of love with the post but we suddenly turned serious as a Shadow stopped to glare at us, more hatefully than usual too. Looking up at Quiet she waved her down, "Hey sis you gotta help me... Pieter did that sex mind thing again".
Quiet looked down about to say something before busting out laughing and nearly falling off the roof.
Marana gave a slight nod as greeting to the Shadow while Cierra grumbled under her breath.
"Its not funny, and tell that CAT to stop looking at me ~" she clapped her hands over her mouth "~ I don't hate cats this much....."
"Well I ... Oh come on, you know from this side it is funny Blueray" Quiet snickered hopping down and heading her inside our home.
Cierra and Marana were not so happy to receive the visit of the Shadow when a second one approached "Quiet here?" she asked to no one in particular.
"Yea she's upstairs" Cierra motioned her head inside and the Shadow, without asking permission, just walked in, thinking she pretty much owned everything anyway. "QUIIIIIET" she yelled inside.

She just disappeared upstairs and walked off after several minutes, followed by Quiet that giggled "I have a job for you. I was hoping you could go to the library and get me some books on Voodoo" she asked fishing out a cam. "You have to see this " she pressed play.
We all saw Blueray curling up on the couch in a cross between pissed off, frustrated and well horny. Shuddering violently the overload on that body was immense, she was used to it in her own she was used to everything. Out of control unable to use anything or even keep her own mind safe, it became clouded and she got a lot of Picket's traits running through her head. Her moans started loud since she couldn't hold them back like she usually could, she put her hand between her legs to help herself along not that she needed to. A few tears rolled down her cheeks spilling on to the floor melting the surface, she had been betrayed least she felt a little betrayed by Pieter of all people he should have know it was her and not Picket. Arching her back she cried aloud her mind filled with erotic images the sensations, the scent, with a vicious shudder she orgasmed juices soaking her panties she laid on the couch after. Cursing Pieter's name both in love and hate with Picket's voice.

Quiet pressed stop and looked at our perplexed faces. "And that will happen every hour on the hour, that is why I let Picket inside, I knew it would be worth it"
"Whats the deal with this Pieter then.. I hear it pop up here and there.. but can't place my finger on it.." Marana looked puzzled.
"Well I don't know why but Pieter did this to Blueray a while back to teach her a lesson. I need the basic information. Also if there is anything on turning a doll back against the creator of the doll"
"To be honest" said Marana shrugging "that lady from the voodoo shop could tell you precisely what to do..''
"Well I want to learn about it so I know on my own " answered Quiet "I am sure they have a lot of books in the library"
"Ow Marana gee" Serv joined us " hey Noir I miss your boobs son "
Marana raised an eyebrow hearing Serv remark, looked at me and then started laughing.
Serv nodded "I could go to the library I need to get a book, then turned smiling" feeling better Noir ?"
"Yes, thank you. Oh btw Serv, when you have time I'd like to have a little talk"
He frowned "Look man I know maybe I looked at your ass a little much but I can explain" holds up his hands "I have no shame"
"Nah no worries. Nothing to do with that"
Marana looked at Serv slightly puzzled and he poked her with a samurai finger to the third left rib "Heee yahhh. Oh Marana you missed it Noir was a girl up until like yesterday he had awesome boobs and the thightest ass..."
"Ooook, didn't we have to go to the Library?" I cut off the embarrassing topic and Marana nodded ''Mmmh yes, before this becomes any weirder...''

So we reached the Library. Empty.
"Mmmm seems no one is home... " Serv dropped his book on the stack "I need a book about reproduction cycle of the feline" he yelled calling out to the spirit of the library.
So, that was the Library.
Suddenly I felt my thoughts fade and the echo of a voice "You may want to get some paper and pen from the Library because I have a feeling you will be finding new words to use on your enemies"
"Owww why every time the left side library spirit?" Serv's cry brought me back to the present as he got hit in the head by a book. He picked up the book and red the title aloud "Are you my mommy by dr zuess?. Awe come on I readed this already! " and he tossed the book on the stack but it floated back to his hands "Awe ok I didn't finish it but it is dumb"
Marana giggled as he cried at her "Oh just think of the subject you desire and allow the library spirit to help. Mr Grrr told me all about it "
Marana got hit with an erotic book on the side of the head.. ''Oooww..dammit..''
We heard someone clearing her throat: was a young Lady sitting on a wheelchair "May I help you?" she asked looking at us warily.
"Greetings Madam. We're looking for a book about--"
"Why do you get bowed to?"
it was the voice of that Shadow of before, Picket.
"Now lets remain calm" said Serv while Marana frowned taking a drag from a cigarette ''Only meant as a small gesture of respect..''
"Excuse me..." the Lady on the wheelchair moved a little closer to them "there is no smoking in the library"
"Oh you got some of that I can smoke?" the demoness asked sneezing because of the cats near her, probably.
Marana dug out a crampled pack of cigs hitting the bottom and reached it out to her ''Sure take one..'' she flipped a lighter from her hip and lighted it.
"I said, there is *no*smoking in the library" the Lady repeated looking up at them while the demoness was deliberately ignoring her.
"Light for me too?" the second demoness stepped in, looking at the Lady and pulling out a cig from behind her ear with a sneer.
"You still jabber too much" the Shadow said to the Lady that narrowed her eyes "That may be, but you will obey the rules. Or you will all leave".
Picket looked at Blueray "Yeah Blue obey the rules"
Blue shrugged and lighted the cig with a flame from her fingertips "I am following the rules... my rules"
"In your House, you follow *your* rules. In this House, you follow our rules, or you leave".
Picket stamped the cig out on the floor "Okay one more Picket trait and I will flip... Uh oh" while Blueray blew a smoke ring into the air and just smiled sweetly.
"It is a shame one cannot expect more from demons that petty unruliness" commented the Lady while the demoness dropped the half smoked cig on the floor and put it out with her toe, leaving the butt on the floor.

We heard someone whistling "Headbanging?! Yes folks, Denenthorn is in one of his rockstar moods again, run, run while you can...."
The lady looked up at him "Grandfather...?"

"Well kitties I am out of here it smells funny today" Servher said span the globe near him.
Blueray folded her arms over her chest and sighed, looking at the non existent watch on her wrist "One... two... three..." she began to count... waiting for shit to go down while Picket leaned up against a bookcase. She braced her back against it, bending over, gasping for air acting like she was being fucked to kingdom come. Trying and failing to keep her pleasured noises under any format of control, her voice of highly charged eroticism echoed around the stone walls of the library. She slumped to the ground still uttering moan after moan when her back slammed in to the bookcase, her body spasmed with the release the scent of sex around her while her fluids soaked her thighs. "Hate so much.. hate hate hate".
Attending the scene was embarrassing for me so I just walked out with Marana and Serv, waiting for a better time.
"I KNOW you aren't Picket I'm Picket but you're Blue who is Picket and I am Picket who is Blue but its all so damn confusing" I heard Picket's voice yelling with frustration.
"Hello ma'am..Tonky!".
I turned with a little hope. Wasn't that the voice of that kind girl used to visit us? I peeped in and I spotted her smiling to a lady with a white dress. "Mind if I come in Lady?" I dared to ask and she waved at me in smiling.
"Redd..now might not be the best time to entertain friends" the Lady on the wheelchair but I needed the information so I walked in, carefully avoiding the two demons.
"Piss off Nareth... I am in no mood for you. If you've something to say, say it or shut your stinking mouth" Picket growled low in her throat.
Blueray sneezed "You really are allergic to cats"
"Sorry bother you but.." noticing the demon's reaction I stepped a little more away from them "May I ask your help, please?" I whispered to Redd and she smiled kindly as she always do.
"Then I *will* say it..." said Nareth, looking threatening even sitting on that wheelchair "Near as I can tell...I am presently senior staff in the library...And near as I can tell, whatever you two are up to, would be better conducted elsewhere".
"Nareth shut the fuck up seriously" Picket said behind my back
"I may look helpless... But that is not, I assure you, the case. Now..I am asking with as much civility as I can muster..please leave now"
Blueray exploded with anger, launching herself up the stairs and right at Nareth, doing her very best to shove her entire weight at the chair and send her flying "I just want my body back and when I get it back I swear I will be as civile as you want BUT NOT RIGHT NOW SO SHUT IT"
A soft golden flash glowed in the middle of the room and an elegant wolf-like person materialized, snapping his pocket mirror closed and looking about, sniffing.
Nareth gripped the ruby tighter and helds up a hand. "Grr...."
"Picket you can't attack anyone in the library" the second Shadow demoness commented at her sister's reaction.
"What tha fuck is this all about?" the newcomer asked obviously puzzled.
"I will not be intimidated, nor will I see members of this House intimidated" said quietly Nareth but the man she called grandfather turned up to her "I am senior staff and if you think otherwise you my dear are sadly mistaken, NOW HOLD YOUR TONGUE"
"Denny, these days I don't know who the fuck you are half the time, and neither do you" she almost sighed.
"I don't give a fuck anymore about the stupid library or its stupid fucking ghost" Blue screamed as she shoved at the chair again "Shut your bloody fucking mouth!"
"Tonks..Redd..stand behind me" Nareth said low keeping her eyes fixed on the demoness.
"Picket, Blue downstairs" ordered the grandfather/Denny man while the elegant wolf-like man postured to back him up.
Blue spats at Nareth and stormed off "I will see you torn apart bitch" growled leaving the library in a huff of anger.
"Oh fucking great, now she just ran off with my body".
Nareth seemed ignore the spittle, but the ruby at her neck began to glow. "Then you should follow her, yes?"
"You should have shut your mouth, god I hate you so much right now and I gotta find Picket who is me...... DAMN IT FUCK THIS"
"ALL Omegans and non Omegans downstairs, except or me and Miss Nishi" the grandfather/Danny ordered while Nareth glanced him anxiously.
We all descended the stairs compliantly, from my part caring to stay away from the demoness.
"The feeling may be mutual.....but this is not the place" whispered Nishi, her voice almost covered by the one of the white dressed woman "She didn't say much, Blue....but I don't blame you...you look better in blue"
"You got books here we need books.. hey an ant" the demoness suddenly crouched interrupting her sentence.
"Over here, folks, park yer asses and hold up yer yappin for a minute" the elegant wolf-like man pointed at the chairs and directed people rather directly to sit.
"I hope you've the presence of mind to understand I meant no disrespect, Grandfather" Nareth whispered at the man standing near her that growled "Look at me...." but she glanced back the elegant one "Grr..they were only trying to defend me and the library..."
Blueray, that was chasing some of the ants around on the ground, suddenly stopped as she just realized she was doing it "Need to fix this, don't understand my body isn't normal" she said frustrated, then turned to Nareth "Picket says make Nareth leave and she will come back"
Nareth answered keeping her eyes on grandfather/Denny "Nareth is not leaving. This is the house of my Sire, not the fucking Pit".
Grandfather/Danny snarled "If you so much as EVER think you outrank me even on one of my bad days, I'll reign shitstorm down on you so hard your skin will darken" he growl even more "And don't EVER seekers of knowledge no matter what or who the ARE!"
" As you say, Grandfather. Then deal with this mess..." she kept her hand wrapped tightly around the ruby.
"Blue-Shadow, come on down here, let me have a look at you, will ya. Nareth and Featherpants are gunna have a little chat" said the elegant Mr.Grr
Time to leave. "Thank you for the help. I'll be back soon" and without waiting an answer I just stepped out.

Marana was sitting at the bar "there you are".
I showed her the book I asked to Redd in all that mess "Lady Weston borrowed us this one". On the cover there was the title 'Mating Behaviors'.
She laughed out load taking the book and reading the title "You must be joking" then she started to laugh again.
I looked down the book and back up to her blinking "er... no?"
"Well I'm curious now. What kind of info were we looking for Noir?" she looked in my eye's with a lopsided smile on her face.
Suddenly I realized that I caught the wrong request "Hm. Something suggests me I'm wrong"
"Haha.. silly kitty.." She looked down at her pad and turned the page to fresh one. She wrote something down before ripping it from the pad and handing it over to me.
Totally wrong.

"Blucket! Can't you do that OUT OF SIGHT?".
I peeped in the Library back, in time to see Picket stomping her foot while Blue was throwing herself down by the fire racked with both Picket and her own personality traits. Curling herself up she was determined to keep this one whit and yet will fail miserably at it because it was not her body. Her unguarded mind was flooded with those damned sexy images, that came along with all the sensations too and once more overloaded that she half passed out. Clawing at the ground she shook with the surge of pleasure arching her back as she laid on her front arching her back to slam her hips against the floor, half out of consciousness she screamed both in rage and sheer released as she burst. When she came she panted softly breathing hard, she rolls her eyes at Picket. "I can't... control your body.... you aint.. used to this".
Pieter, the Shadow Lord, was sitting there.
"You can take it off? Take it off me damn you take it off" she hissed to him.
Picket facepalmed and grumbled "then PLEASE make it stop Pieter. This is really beginning to piss me off". She narrowed her eyes and said "I fucking hate all of you" then quietly walked out the door once more, thinking that her family was proving to be asshats to their own members, probably.
"Shadow Lord enough with these shenanigans in my Library, perhaps you should torture your own in the pit cause you are boring me..." said the grandfather/Danny while Blueray curled up on the floor unable to get the stupid body to comprehend what was happening.
"Take it off me, I didn't know you could you said you couldn't the last time... Stop being an ass, I want my body back". Curling up tighter she shook choking, "This isn't fun".
"You know my name Denny, please do use it properly.The name is Pieter Denny, you know that.." the Shadow Lord said in his dark tone and smirking slowly he lifted himself out of his chair, some flecks of shadows whispering over his body slowly "Alright Blue, did you learn a lesson?".
Blueray was burning holes in to the cushion "Never leave mindlinks open ever".
Pieter the Shadow Lord nodded into not Pickets direction "That will suffice, now come along" he patted his tight once as a gesture for her to come along "we're going to have a little talk in the Pit".
"Yes my lord".
"That's nice Pieter Denny.. accept your fate Shadow Lord" the grandfather/Denny provocative, obtaining the Shadow Lord's attention "Do not test my patience boy, the pain I can cause you, will have you begging me to end your existence" and he left, followed by the demoness.

Redd was a little aside with the white dressed woman. As she spotted me she smiled and I stepped towards her showing the book with a little embarrassment.
"What do you need dear?"
"Well... I'm sorry bothering you again but my friends suggested me to borrow the wrong book... So I'm here to deliver it back and ask for the real one... if I'm not bothering you too much"
She looked at me puzzled "It is a book on mating behavior yes? I'm confused dear"
How explain her that my mind just switched off once in the Library? Well, was easier tell her that was a joke "Er.. yes the book is right but my friends were kidding me, I think. They thought maybe this way I could learn something but the argument was wrong".
"Oooh.. I see Dear.......hmmmmm..I'd be happy to help in any way i can" she smiled wider as i returned her the book "thank you for returning the book so quickly. If there is anything you need to ask me feel free okay..don't be embarrassed, it's all kinda new to me too".
"Thank you. The right argument was about curse and voodoo dolls. Something I'm totally ignorant about"
She giggled "We have a great book on voodoo if you need it hun"
"Oh really?"
"You do have a library card right..I forgot to ask before..it was so hectic....please don't tell anyone"
Never heard about a card. Well, never been in a Library before, so i simply asked "A.. card?"
She grinned "I'll fix you right up my friend!"
"Thank you. It's so nice hearing some politeness".
She handed me a piece of paper and a quill before scampering off to the shelves."fill that out love, and I'll be right back with your book!"
The white dressed Lady smiled "Hi, I'm Tonks" and I smiled at her before filling up the request.
"Fuckity fuck fuck fuck" Danny yawned looking in Redd's direction as she gasped "where is it berry...oh yesssss......thank you. Cover my ears berry..thank you"
"Yo, Tonky, he's right here, if ya wanna ask him those questions we were yarnin about the other day" I heard Mr.Grr tell waving a clawed paw at Denny.
"I think he answered my questions" she answered.
"Omegans do no fear to ask questions, isn't that right, Spirit?" Danny asked apparently to the Library itself that, I can swear it, shook its walls.
Tonks nodded to my surprised face and headed down the stairs while Redd scampered back with two big old leather bound books, dust free.
"Here we are...now don't hurt yourself with those...you're much too cute" she winked and handed over me the big books.
"Oh they look... ancient"
"They are quite old..but notice how not dusty they are" she grinned and twirling.
"Thank you very much Lady. I'll take care of them like my own skin"
"Very happy to help" she smiled widely while I handed her the filled request and after signing a brand new library card, she handed it to me with a curtsy.
"Here you are..enjoy!"
"Thank you"
She grinned blushing "You have lovely manners"
"Oh you're the lovely here"
She looked down the filled request "Yer so lucky to live in South Tox Noir.. those sort are killed before they make it to yer end of town"
How tell her that those sort were the last of the problems? But why destroy her nice point of view "South is a nice place, we have the beach where you can sit and stare the ocean when no one is around to shoot at you but.." in my mind flashed Serv telling to a new kitty he was showing the city "Oh, most interesting place are located in North like the sexy shop.." I cut out the thought in 1/2 second "...here in North there are amazing places just like the Library. I love the smell on the books"
She nodded, apparently not noticing my hesitancy "Me too..it is a wonderful smell".She rubbed her chin "Though ..you kitties have that machine" she grinned blushing "Finn showed it to me".
Ah. That machine."Er.. yes. Yes it's a strange thing even to me. I must confess I haven't tasted the... product of that yet. It scares me somehow..".
It gives me the shivers.
"I wonder about it..like if some people are better than others" she giggled and still with my lips curled in a grimace I confirmed as if it was my opinion as well, and I was obviously misunderstood "Soo who do you wanna try?" she whispered leaning in and smiling from ear to ear she poked gently my arm.
"Oh I.. I've only heard them say something about it. I don't feel the desire to taste someone" I hate myself when I blush every time someone looks confident. I feel so clumsy.
"Aren't you curious????" She looked surprised and screwed up her lips in a look of puzzlement, leaning back on her heels and arching her eyebrow, shrugging "well I'm curious".
"Well, a kitten gave me a little flask of the sample. You can find it in my back pocket. You can take it just as a souvenir.."
She giggled "....."whooo???....whisper it to me ....i don't wanna taste just anybody"
I turned slightly in order to allow her to take it if she wanted after whispering her the name.
"Wait, what? Who's in tha bottle? suddenly Mr.Grr asked from his chair.
She scrunched up her nose "You keep it.....no offense....just not my type"
"It's milk Sir" I smiled at him while Redd span and laughed.
"Milk? From a person?" he was curious.
"She's very nice...but..I dunno...she doesn't make me hungry" then she nodded to him "Yes mister Grr"
"Someone got milked? Ha, and here's me without my wheatbix . . . "
Redd ran to the fireplace near him "Mister Grr..it's upstairs at Fishco..an you put your....you know..you dun got em..in these cups and away it goes into a biig bucket"
"So, -who- got milked?" he asked and Redd whispered to him the answer, then again aloud like an excited child "They showed me! They all do! Thats where the milk they have comes from"
"Wicked! fresh milk fer my cookin. But don't ya have ta be lactatin fer that to work?" he asked and Redd shrugged "I think it's a team effort".
"Hahahahaha" he laughed "that's awesome, talk about self sufficency"
"I still prefer the milk from the bar.." I muttered embarrassed.
Redd nodded seriously "It is quite a thing.. I do declare, I just wanna taste the people I know.....see who's...more milky..it's a scientific thing...for the library ..I think" she paused "don't give me that look Tonky"
My cell flashed silently, my family was calling me. "Oh. Well, thank you again for your help Madam. I'd be happy to help you back so, feel free to use my number if needed"
She smiled "You bet!"
I nodded to the white dressed Lady called Tonk and to the elegant Mr.Grr "Have a nice evening" and I stepped outside hearing Redd's shrill pleasant voice 'be safe Noir!"

Switched demoness (part II)

Walking back to FischCo, I spotted Quiet, Ian and Marana that, spotting me, grinned in anticipation "Mmm wonder what he found this time. He's doing a little thingy for me, finding some books. But the poor dear got a bit confused. And came with a book called animal mating habits I think it was called. Almost fell of my barstool laughing''
I asked for Quiet's attention showing her the two ancient books "I've this for you from the Library. Marana over there asked me to take them and yeah, never listen Serv babbling around".
Quiet rubbed her paws together "Oooooooo what do you have there" so I handed Quiet both the"Voodoo dolls" and the"Curses" books.
She almost stumbled a bit to keep one of the books tried to slid away "Well looks like I have some reading to do"
"Just take care of them or they will rip me" I smiled looking the ancient tomes.
"Uuummm no worries I won't spill the milk on them I promise"
"Mmhmm would be a shame. Spilling that delicious milk..." Marana giggled and Quiet handed both the books back to me, her attention drew by Picket running past in the back.
She returned after few minutes slipping a little filled orb back away safely "Oh yea but there was no way to hit her with the little present"
Marana smelled the air picking up a scent becoming all to familiar to her ''sheee's here again..here we go again.... oww its you Shay''
Shaynee blinked looking over "ummm Hi"
''Saw someone walking up in the corner of my eye and thought it was one of those interlopers again.. hehe'' Marana turned to Picket finally back "Hey Picket.."
Shaynee stays back from Picket that stalked inside, and just flopped down on the floor, ignoring everything and everyone in sight. She held her arms around her knees, the flames burning around her, engulfing every inch of her. She didn't care though, she didn't even notice. All she could do is rock herself back and forth, back and forth.
"Shaynee can you help with Picket" asked Quiet to her wife that swallowed hard "Ummm.... I don't think she wants anyone near".

A wolf was sitting on the edge of the overhang. She turned and wrapping her legs around the support cable, she hung upside-down and looked under it and back into the FishCo. She looked at everyone from her position hanging over the edge by the cable, giving an awkward, upside-down nod to Quiet "Afternoon everyone.... anything fun going on down here"
"What.. the..'' Marana walked into the street and stared up at the lycan sitting on the edge of the roof, frowning and mumbling something to herself while Quiet glanced up "Well she is on fucking fire. I would guess for a demon that is ok but I would rather she not set everything in FishCo on fire".
The wolf smiled as she lifted herself up some to look at Marana "Don't worry about me... if I wanted to cause trouble for you, I would. Unless you want me more involved, I tend to have a soft spot for you guys.... either that, or I'm just bored stiff"

Picket was on fire and not far away from her the dried leaves of catnip were ready to burn.
Shaynee walked in slowly but staying near the door "Hey ummm Picket..."
Picket's flames suddenly burst higher and brighter as Shaynee approached, reaching half way to the ceiling. She began to scream in rage again with every step she took closer.
Quiet winced watching the flames "Thanks but so far I don't have an idea what to do"
Shaynee covered her ears "Ummm Picket....the kitties might be upset if you burn their catnip up, maybe we can go back to the Pit and search a revenge on Blue. Yeah... because she was playing with your body in the library"
The demoness on fire snarled and hissed at Shaynee, her voice no longer Picket's but deep, it came from within her and all around her "Let the cats buuuuurrrrrn". No doubt she still hated cats far more then Blue.

Marana let her hand slip into a pocket and pulled out a round cylindrical doggy snack, sniffing it.. "Yup still fresh" then looks at the lycan ''You want these hun? They still fresh.. and i can't stand the things..sooo''
The wolf laughed at the dog biscuit, "That makes two of us...." before looking back at Q and watching the light from the fire inside, "...might I suggest a few fire-extinguishers... the CO2 ones, not the flame retardant foam, so that the fire goes out and so does she...."
"Well don't think we can get close enough to use a fire extinguisher" stated Quiet and the wolf grinned "then throw it next to her... they explode under extreme heat, which would probably put out the flames... if not the CO2 will"
Shaynee took a deep breath as she stepped inside of the FishCo "There is this pup out there talking about putting you out with fire extinguishers, now we could let her come in and do that or we could go back to the Pit"

Marana shrugged, pushed the snacks in the gl of the rifle and turned her face in the general direction of Haven. She tilted the barrel upwards and let it rip with a satisfied smile on her face. The snacks shot of like bats out of hell arcing beautifully over the building in the back of the streets.. She probably stood there smiling to herself chuckling at the thought of the foul snack raining down a few streets further.

Taking advantage of the distracting shoot I stepped closer to Quiet "Is there someone of her family we can call to help her? I mean, one of her closest friend or so?"
Quiet just shrugged, her eyes on the burning demoness "Well that would be Blue but from what she said I think even Blue is pissing her off"

Picket stood slowly and walked out the door as she had heard the wolf's comment and suddenly her wrath was redirected.
She shrieked "DIE MUTT SCUM" her voice multiplying, becoming high and shill... sounding much like a multitude of angry ferrets. Her fire rose higher and brighter now, and she begun to fling it in waves at the wolf, trying to burn her alive.
The wolf looked up with an "Uh...oh" and dropped off the ledge, stepping into the street, to move away from the fire and probably to protect the FishCo form more damage.
Picket explodes another volley of fireblasts in the wolf's direction, her voice changing once more, now becoming the screams of millions of people in anguish "DIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"
The wolf dived to the side, skidding in the snow on her stomach, standing up and pulling blades, lifting her tail and putting out a small flame caught on the tip "Damnit, that's not very nice...." she rubbed some of the snow into the singed fur, looking at the demoness as if deciding for the hell of it to toss some at her.

Quiet, Marana and me backed off from the fighting area, trying to shield ourselves form the heat of the fire.

Picket McDonnell snarled, all reason gone from her, she was fulled solely by the wrath she had boiling inside her like a furnace. She began to chant "adeo mihi creatura of atrum" but suddenly she was smacked with snow. It broke her concentration and her flames flickered and died, but as the fire subsided roaches and and scorpions began to crawl out of every corner, every crack in the pavement and surrounding buildings. They headed straight for the wolf that looked around at the advancing skittering masses with a growled "You have got to be shitting me....".

Shaynee looked down seeing the bugs crawling all over the place "Gawd... bleck" she squeeled as she looked for a place to jump to.
Right. Shaynee. I pulled out one of the book from under my jacket and silently I moved behind Picket hoping that the demon attention was all for the wolf.
I safely reached the wooden stand where the shadow was sitting showing her the book "Madam do you think this one can be of any use right now?" but shook her head "No hun I don't know about Voodoo yet". Well, the wolf was unlucky in that turn.

The wolf looked at the all of us kitties momentarily before dancing to the side a bit away from some of the crawlers "None of you would happen to have a few industrial bug bombs would you..." but Picket smirked as her little minions crawled towards their goal. She barked at the wolf that was dancing further to the side, stepping on one of the larger crawlers as she came down, causing her foot to slide, sending her to the pavement with a rather loud clatter as her blades were knocked out of her hand. Her ankle made a rather awkward angle with the rest of her leg as she let out a rather loud howl of pain.She started to struggle to her feet again, several of the scorpions crawled onto her arms and legs, stinging her thrice before she was able to knock them off, causing her to grit her teeth and growl at the pain, grabbing her paw and wrenching it into alignment with another howl.

Picket began to cackle as she watched the wolf howl in pain. She became smug and let her guard down for a moment as she turned around to make a snowball, probably intending to toss it at her to add insult to injury -though she had to pay close attention to forming it, as it would melt in her hands if she wasn't very careful.
The wolf gritted her teeth and snarled as she took a dive at Picket, to knock into her and break her control over the insects, finding the opportunity too, worthwhile to waste, trying to cause them both to crash into the road-snow.

Picket toppled her face first into the snow as the wolf's weight hit her back, bashing her chin into the pavement and snapping her teeth together with a painful clacking sound. "FUUUUUUCK!" she screamed as she tried to scramble out of the snow, but couldn't seem to get out from under her. Tears of pain began to flow from her eyes, dropping onto the sidewalk with a hissing sound, the ground slowly being eaten away by the acid. Without her full attention the bugs went about their business and crawled away.
Shaynee jumped down seeing her sister take the fall running over towards them but keeping back some so as not to interfere and Quiet suddenly ran inside FishCo grabbing me with her going for the stairs."Quick gather up the snow near the edge so we can try and shove it off" she said running around, dropping to her knees and using her whole body to shove the snow towards the edge of the roof "we need to get our piles over where we can dump it on Picket".

Meanwhile the wolf grabbed one of the chains hanging from Picket's tail, tearing it off and slinging it around her neck and pulling back on it firmly, using it to garrote the demon.
"If she only moved a little closer..." I whispered to Quiet helping her to gather the snow and she nodded her agreement. "If you can pull her over we can help " she yelled down to the wolf standing behind the huge pile of snow.

Picket gagged but she didn't passed out since demons don't breath. It however did make it nearly impossible to swallow and the glue from her saliva began to pool on the ground in front of her. She used all her weight and strength to pull free of the chain, but only succeeded in slamming her face into her own glue mess and hopelessly stuck herself to the pavement. She growled, exhausted "I fucking give... you win"

The wolf heaved herself up, taking the demon at her word. She wanted evidently stop and heal her visibly broken and swollen ankle. She hobbled off to the side under the overhang, leaving the chain wrapped around Picket's neck. She unceremoniously dropped to the ground, to take pressure off her ankle.

Shaynee ran over towards Picket, to help her up. "Owowowowowowiiiieeeeeee! My face is glued to the pavement!" she screeched.
"What is there superglue on the road or something?" the pale skinned Shadow stopped pulling only to try to wiggle her fingers under her cheek.
Picket screamed in pain as her fingers wriggled in between the pavement and her skin "Shayyyyy huuurrry" her wrath seeming to subside for now, returning a bit to normal Picket.
Fire dripped from From Shaynee's fingertips as she wiggled her way across Picket's face, pulling it free from the pavement but looking as her hand was stuck to her face. "What the hell!" she started shaking her hand growling "LET GO!". She span both of them around where Picket's back was towards the FishCo.
"NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW" yelled Quiet shoving with her legs to push all the snow on top of Picket while Shaynee put her foot up onto Pickets stomach pushing against her trying to pull herself free.
Picket looked up rolling across the pavement quickly, just as the snow plopped behind her. She just looked up again and gave us all the finger.
But I was not helping Quiet. Shaynee was too close and I not wanted hit her by chance.

Marana let herself drop from the ledge to the ground and held a fieldflask out to the wolf ''Here, it will help against the pain" and the wolf smiled with a grit of her teeth, gladly taking the flask and opening it ".... thank you".
''Your welcome.. you need that bone set dear? I'm no mender but I have had my fair share in the past''.
"If you would be so kind, it's been a while since I've had to set my own bone... I'm out of practice".
Marana crouched down in front of the wolf ''better take a few more drinks of that bottle hun.. this gonna hurt..''

Shaynee got free and Picket rubbed her cheek where there was now a swollen area in the shape of Shaynee's hand. She grumbled a bit and stalking off she shouted "REVENGE"
Quiet watched Picket go and got a little grin. She hopped off to other roofs " take care of Jamie" she yelled back as she followed the demoness.
I took back the books I left on the windowsill dusting a snowflake from the cover following the demoness run until she turned the corner down the street.
At least, now she has a real reason to hate me.

No more potions

Servher glared at everyone.
Finn tilted her head and flattened her ears as she was glared at "What? What's wrong?".
Serv glared doubly at me just for effect and broke into a smile "Hello pretty kitties".
"I thought you were mad!" Finn grinned
"Nah I aint ever mad unless it is fun"
"Well, I get mad. It gives me a tummy ache" she snickered.

"Finn I have to tell you Noir beat my ass today" Serv said sitting near Finn that looked obviously surprised "Reeeally? Tell me the whole story, leave nothing out".
"Well see Noir had this snowball and she chunked it at me, I was like all dodge dive duck" he started to tell "then I scooped up a snowball and dove through the air and hurled it at her head and BAM a cloud of snow and she tumbled back, then she got her whip and beat my ass. Oh it hurt yeah but I put up a good fight".
"Sounds like fun..." Finn snickered "except when people hit me with snowballs, it always goes down my shirt"
"You don't like ice down your shirt?"
"Noooooo"

Serv looked behind Finn and grunted nodding and she looked behind her "Who are you nodding at?"
He pointed north and spoke soft "Quiet's wife was walking up but she turned".
Finn blushed "Ohh. I gotta go talk to her. Will you excuse me?"
"No"
Finn sighed "Yes.. I have to. I was wrong. Gimme a break Serv, it's hard enough to admit, as stubborn as I am".
He smiled concealing "Ok take a break"
Finn grinned and kissed his cheek running down the street.

She came back after few minutes, along with the Shadow we know as Quiet's wife.
"Yay she accepted my apology" she smiled with obvious relief.
The Shadow looked up at me "I was here looking for you". She leaned up on her tip toes "We do have the issue with your looks, if you don't mind following me back to the Pit, I will try to see if I can pull whatever remains of the potion out of you"
I stood feeling rather nervous. I knew she was there to help me but I couldn't help it.
Serv's eyes went wide as he spoke softly "Back to the Pit?"
She looked over at him "That's where all my supplies are" and he rocked back and forth shaking his head side to side "Oh well that makes sense".
"it's ok, she's going to help me" I reassured with a weak smile before follow her where I'd never thought to go for any kind of help.

The Pit was dark. Some braziers were burning in several corners of the large hall and a red glow barely lighted the place making difficult to see even to my feline eyes.
The air was dense of acrid smoke and something that reminded me somehow the vet...
The Shadow tapped a square dark altar "Ok hop up here".
"No reason to run away, she's going to help me" I said in my mind while I followed her instructions, laying on the dried-blood stained altar.

From ✖ ToXic Noir ✖

The Shadow watched me with a smile "Now don't move I need to get my stuff".
I was petrified, no need to ask, but she was fast and walked over laying sheets of paper by my waist, near my feet laying a ball of red yawn and a dagger.
"Do you have something, like a charm I could borrow?"
At the sight of the dagger I closed my eyes moving aside all the stories about sacrifices and demonic rites, focusing on her words "...yes... you can take it from my pocket. A necklace".
She reached into my pocket taking out the necklace, taking the little charm from it and placing the chain back into my pocket "Ok, there will be steps. Step one, I need you to be very still for, I will be using my mind to go inside of you to pull out the potion". She looked to me "I will need your mind open for me. So just relax and take deep breaths". She placed the charm on my forehead as her other hand ran over my throat.
"Are you ready?".
I was unable to speak so I closed my eyes again taking a deep breath while my heart was bouncing against my chest. Feeling ready to potentially die I nodded.
She closed her mind as she started to chant softly. A fireball floated above my face, sliding into my nose, as I inhaled.
I was amazed at the fact there was no burn but I felt a warmth inside my mind. Her hand ran from my throat down over my body as the fireball followed inside of my body.
I felt the heat melt inside me and I shivered when the fire engulfed the last of the potion causing a shift to my shape back to male.

From ✖ ToXic Noir ✖

The fire split up inside my body replacing the cells that caused me the ability to shape shift into cells that make me feel... extremely smart.
She picked up the charm as she spoke once more "Now, the second step,".
The Shadow grabbed the yawn placing it on my stomach as she picked up the dagger taking the end of the yarn threading it through the charm.
She looked at me "This part is very important for you to remember".
I nodded panting, my forehead beaded with sweat, a new feeling growing inside my awareness.
She cut the yarn with her dagger as she laid it back down tying it around my neck "I bind you Noir from drinking any potions" she repeated three times in a soft chant "Keep this around your neck to protect you from drinking any potions that are not good for you".
My attention was all for the melodic voice chanting in a strange language. Among the incomprehensible words I understood something that seemed to be very important "Potions.. not good to me".

She smiled "How do you feel now?" she asked moving her hand to help me up.
With my lips still on the last word I stared the ceiling. All went silent for a long moment, all went dark. The echo of the melodic voice reverberate against my conscience making me blink and focusing the world around. I glanced up the pale lady with a weak smile and slowly I stood, rubbing my face.
She grinned as she looked up at me "Take your time, I wouldn't want you to get dizzy". She grabbed her dagger and the ball of red yarn along with the papers from the lessons.
"You may want to get some paper and pen from the Coven or Library because I have a feeling you will be finding new words to use on your enemies" she suggested smiling.
I felt gradually better, my body switched to the usual myself.
"Thank you very much Madam" I said with my usual rather male voice "I'm in debt with you".
She raised an eyebrow as a joker like grin "Think nothing of it and you can call me Shay".
"Shay. Beautiful name".
Her pale cheek blushed a bit "Now you better run back before they get worried about you and think I'm torturing you".
Was true, plus we were not alone. I stepped closer to her reaching out an hand to grab hers. I found myself kneeling and daring to kiss her pale hand.
"I will not forget your help" I just said and before someone could find it improper I stood and walked out, revived.

Just another day in Toxia

You don't really need to kill yourself to bump in odd situations in Toxia.
Well, if you're lucky enough.
That day I felt lucky so I walked down the street to the Voodoo Shop with the hope to meet someone inclined to share some information about potions, shapeshifting and sprouting tits.
But I stopped as I spotted a gathering of demons and two.. mutants.
One of them, with mixed features of a cow and a duck, was standing with a furious look in her eyes, running up behind another with a tiger head. Leaning close she looked like she was going to bellow "Squeek squeek squeek squeek squeek squeek squeek squeek" was all she was able to express.
A woman stepped outside the shop hearing the noise and looked to see what was happening. "What in the hell..?"
The cow-duck, whining like an excited horse, reached for her sword with her wing. Batting at it over and over before figuring she couldn't grab it any more.
"I heard moaning and ass slapping.. kinda wondering why I decided to brave coming outsid--" the woman looked over to the thing that made the horse sound."Oh god.."
"Just another day in Toxia" stated a masked man sitting arm crossed by the entrance of the shop.
"Another fucked up day..." the woman commented eyeing the thing, deciding it might be wise to keep her mouth shut.
The 'thing' tried for the sword with her other hand. A dull think was heard about when her cloven handed hit the hilt. She snorted shaking her head swinging around her horns, then she turned and left in a huff.

From ✖ ToXic Noir ✖

She padded to the FischCo and jumped awkwardly on the cantilever roof.
"Holey shit there is something on our awening Noir". I almost jumped hearing Serv's voice. He stared mouth agape trying to reason what it was. "Did you speak to it yet?" he whispered out the side of his mouth. "Nope but if you get a little closer it smells like Quiet...".
"You think it ate quiet?" he gasped.
The mutant glanced down and looking like she was going to yell just "Squeek squeek squeek" like a little mouse.
"It has Quiet's saber swords look it" he nudged me "I think it is Quiet, go touch it ".
"Hmm... I've seen it near the voodoo shop some minutes ago..."
The mutant hoped down and slowly walked closer on unsteady hoofs.
"Woah god it came down" Serv looked as it wobbled closer "Oh shit Quiet?"
"Bbbbaaaaaaa bbabaaaaaaaaaa bbbabaaaaaa" the mutant shook her head up and down.
"See it is Quiet" Serv looked at me "don't be scared go closer"
"Err... Quiet? But... but it..she has horns!"
Serv sighed "Ok stay here, if it eats me aveng me".
The mutant barked suddenly.
He stared into it's eyes "Oh fuck Quiet sweety what have you done?" asked as she huffed and pointed her wing in the direction of the voodoo shop.
He touched the wing as it extended "Damn, the Coven. You drank something?" he turned to me "Noira come closer it is Quiet and she is fucked bad"
The mutant Quiet shaked her head and thumped her chest with the cloven hoof; heaver than her hand and harder she knocked her self off her cloven feet.
"I've told you, something happened to the Voodoo shop. I've seen another mutant with a tiger head".
Serv tried not to chuckle but couldn't help it "No no be still Quiet be still"
She shivered and started balking and clucking.
"Ok I'll go ask, Noir you watch it ..erm her"
I helped her to sit while she holded up her cloven, barking and growling glancing up.
Someone started laughing hard. The pack leader and his she-wolf were staring Quiet. "My god!! What the fuck is that!!!" Wotan pointed frantically.
"Bawk bawk bawk bbbbbbbawk bbbbbbbbbawk"
Aaryanna Parx placed a hand on her stomach as she laughed even harder... She was almost doubling over she was laughing so hard.
"The fuck?!!" Wotan stopped "Wait a minute..Chicken!!!"
Serv came back and talked to Quiet like she was deaf " QUIET I brung Callieh to help, stay calm"
"Quick call the Wolves!! We are having Chicken!!" Wotan hoped up and down but Calleigh glanced at Wotan and groaned "No eating faction leaders!".
Quiet snorted slashing at the air with her horns
"Hey... He did it before.. Why not now?" Aaryanna stated.
Calleigh grumbled darkly not having much to say to that one, kneeling down next to the Quiet creature. "Well it's apparently stupid to ask you to talk.. or..cluck..or.. well fuck."

Zoie suddenly ran off screaming "They are everywhere!!!!"
Quiet pointed a wing at the screaming feline and started quacking.
Zoie ran up to the others trying to keep composure and asked through grinned teeth " do you have a razor . . . anyone ?"
Quiet shaked her head and pointed at Zoie and then pointed up to the second floor of FishCo.
My sister was acting weird after a bad meet with some Shadows and I knew that Quiet had a cure for her. "Yes... yes we have one, Zoie" I said with a smile "we have a very nice razor up here. Please, follow us so you can get it".
Serv hugged Zoie "Come on upstairs we can fix it".
Zoie dug her claws in her own leg screaming "Get off get off get off!!" and Serv whispered "Of course I will get the razor for you come along".
Zoie realized we were speaking of a razor and said with a plastic smile "I'll need to be alone with it if you don't mind".
Noir Dreadlow pads a little more closer to Zoie "Sure, we just show you where find it. This way" I moved few steps to the doorway and smiled to her.
She placed her hand on the stub that once was her beautiful white tail trying to hide the severd spot, she clawed her leg once more and followed me upstairs where
she grabbed me by the hair and got inches away form her face saying with grinned teeth "I must stop them, you hear me".
"..yes, yes I'll help you.." I winced gesturing to Serv to reach the couch.
She let go my hairs and cried covering her face "They won't shut up they are telling me awful things and I should die" she slashed mid air with her claws.
Serv grabbed between the cushion and produced a vial and passed it to me, trying to restrain her "Be still Zoie I'll help listen to Noir sweety".
She wiggled away slightly saying forcefully "Ahhhhhh I don't know who is talking to me your all running together shuuut up!!!"
Serv pulled at Zoie's arms trying to restrain her now in a full bear hug as she kicked and ranted "Calm down let me get them Zo", so I grabbed the vial and reached out the free hand towards Zoie's face to caress her cheek "Shhh, we're going to kill them all"
Zoie cried out distracted from all the voices at once not fully hearing either kitty and too distracted to realize either of them dug her claws in the arms around her seeing demons all over and around them.
Serv squeezed harder feeling her claws dug deep into his arm and the warm blood ran to his elbow. He grunted "Hurry make her drink it Noir".
She was not listening, lost in her mad illusions. "I'm sorry Zo" I whispered and quickly I uncorked the vial, grips her mouth and pours the liquid in her mouth plugging it.
Serv, surprised by her sudden strength, wrapped his leg about hers and applies his full weight, her claws digging out of his arm the flesh splays back with his shirt "Noir hold it shut make her swallow" he said as they stumbled about in the struggle while Zoie choked and sputtered the blood.
She finallywent limp in Servher's arms, exhusted from hours of fighting the demons, tried to regain her breath.
We carried her on th couch "There finally some good comes from coming to meetings" Serv hoofed while I took place near her.
"Stay with her sweety, it may be a while before she wakes up" he said before turn to bolt downstairs.
Zoie began breathing hard and shivering harder as thought ice ran through her veins, fully unaware of anyone in her presence, only dreams of the hidious demons and her tail. The only thing needed was resting and let her relax so I caressed her locks, kissing her forehead "It's over Zoie, they're gone. Now you're with us, with your family".
She flinched then opened her eyes partially and whispered "Thanks Onyx... " then she falled back to sleep, voices and demons gone jsut exhustion.
I felt tears in my eyes hearing her calling my old name. I leaned on her, kissing again her forehead for a long moment. "Sleep well Cookie" I whispered caressing her cheek "I love you" and slowly I stood up, letting her rest.

"You want me to shatter your puny little brain with what I know about the shadows? Guess what, I don't care what you think you know about me. I couldn't care less than I do about whatever respect you think you deserve".
Finn's voice was full of anger as I approached the sidewalk outside FishCo.
Serv raised his voice for the second time ever in Toxia "Finn please".
"Finn, you realize you being an ass to my wife". Quiet finally was again herself.
"Again do I know you? No... Do I know my family? Yes... Did you know that Picket and Quiet have played around before with spells and magic in the past? Which I keep saying but apparently you aren't catching on". The pale skinned woman, Quiet's wife, was standing arm crossed near our Leader.
Finn grumbled and sighed, then cleaned her claws.
"Noir show me that green potion so I can drink it and understand this shit" Serv was evidently exasperated.
During this past days I've learned to appreciate that feline's humor and kindness.
But even in girly features I was -and I am- still unable to understand female psychology. I smiled at him while he made his way inside FishCo and I just waited I for the tension to calm.
That shadow was right: just another day in Toxia.
