The journey to discovering the truth behind the Homo Magi and the curse laid upon their people, in hopes of breaking the spell that has caused the sorceress Amara to obsess over David Charming for years, has been a long and winding road.  It last led them underwater, to the lost city of Atlantis, once the home of the Homo Magi, where they discovered that the cursed had been laid upon them by Poseidon himself, when one of their kind shared the sacred secrets of Mystra with a mortal who they fell in love with.  This led to a falling out between Mystra and Poseidon, and he cursed the Magi to keep them from ever contacting humanity again.  This curse was said to be unbreakable, until the sea god was appeased, but Lila's protests led to a punishment which Emma Swan took in her place - rendering her a kelpie by night until she earned the respect of Mystra.  This curse would later lead her to kill Killian in the madness of the castle attack.  Zatanna claimed to know someone who could undermine a god's curse, and to that end searched high and low for the mysterious John Constantine, who she has brought to the castle.  

At last, he has gathered them here for a seance of sorts, and they find the room cloaked in candles and drapery, various strange figurines and tiny fetishes scattered about.

[David arrives promptly, as per usual, walking in and talking in the ambience of the room with a wary eye. As much as these missions have been shrouded in magic and he knows that magic itself depends on the user, he still isn't completely comfortable with it.

He probably never will be.

All the same, he glances to Constantine, looking for a cue as to what he needs him to do.]


Should we sit or stand anywhere?

[Snow has a cautious look around as she has a seat.]

What part are we going to play in this? What do you need us to do?
generaldavideus: ([david] brooding)

[personal profile] generaldavideus 2017-05-11 01:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[Still not going to correct him on how he's not a squire. He's just going to nod his agreement and takes a seat next to Snow, waiting for Constantine to answer the question at hand.]

Hold hands and channel the spirits, perhaps? [Gold follows Snow's lead, pulling up a chair. He's the last person to be sardonic about the mystical arts, but...] It looks like you're putting on quite a spectacle here, Mr. Constantine.

[ zatanna enters then, amara in tow. the homo magi looks around in some confusion, and not a little suspicion, and zatanna raises her eyebrows at those present, as if in a bit of a warning to be careful what they say. behind them enters giovanni zatara, zatanna's father, who many of them have not seen in years ]

Her old man heard about certain extracurricular activities you'd be roping his daughter into. You'll forgive me for wanting to supervise. [ zatanna looks ready to groan, her eyes rolling, but constantine looks amused as fk, and turns half away from zatara to where david sits, mouthing the words "tantric studies" at him with some apparent glee ]

amara & lila ♔

[ amara has longer legs than lila so she has to scramble to catch up, overtaking the sorceress to direct her in the opposite direction of emma and constantine. ]

Outside. Fresh air helps.
besmitten: (pic#6499381)

[personal profile] besmitten 2017-10-04 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
Helps how? [ she swings her head around, eyes flashing, her words demanding ]
bittersweeter: (♔ nerves)

[personal profile] bittersweeter 2017-10-04 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
Scientifically, it helps with stress. [ plus lila can smoke outside. ] Nothing is going to help, Amara. You know I've been through this.

[ and she stills hates every single thing she did to try to get cassel to love her, the single-minded fervor for a boy that clearly didn't deserve it. ]

But outside is away from people.

I'm not fucking patronizing you. [ fuck it, lila is already fumbling for her cigarettes, who is going to stop her. ] I never wanted you to feel any of this.

I am not looking for comfort, or sympathy. I would be alone.

I'm not a pet you can command away. [ however willing she is to just leave amara, because the aftermath of this curse is the last thing she wants to deal with, lila isn't going to let amara order her around.

last time she got flung against the ceiling but w/e, she doesn't give a shit. ]

And I do not require coddling. I am Homo Magi, daughter of the true magic bloodline. I am no delicate mortal. The woman you have known was weakened by these imaginary emotions conjured by this curse.

I am not that woman.
