Rescuing Rafael could have gone much worse... And then did, when Rafael, desperate to feel alive and free again, got himself into a car accident. He came out of it alright, but injured, and they headed back on a plane after a whirlwind wedding had happened the same night between Dean and Rose, which Elena and the fiendish version of Sam had dropped in on - as well as Bobby Singer. After the madness of that night, Jack sent word back to them that if they had any family that they wished to keep safe, they could bring them back to Krozna. Rafael and Isabella insisted on picking up Giorgio, Nellethiel, and their children, Giulia and Pietro. Alainn picked up quite a bit of family as well - her adoptive parents and siblings from Ireland. They return to Krozna together, where everyone can get acquainted and recover from the ordeal of their close calls in New Orleans before pressing forward. There would be months for them to train, and the pace of life in Krozna to settle in, far from the chaos of the rest of the world.

The date is now quickly approaching for the upcoming meeting at the "Darkhouse" where they hope to acquire more leads about the dagger that was used by Blade in the ritual to kill his father, Malaak'a.

This log covers all social things for Failboat between the first social log and the Darkhouse (months worth of time skip).

If anything, he should be weaker. Demigod, after all.

Demigod who killed a god god. I'm keen on overestimating him and then being happily surprised if he is garbage.

[ solid plan as always ]

Not a bad plan. [ he glances over to where jack is on his way up with dominik as they look out across a snow capped mountain side ] Here comes trouble.

This trouble is trouble I like at least.

[ quietly, to herself, casually praying: ] Please don't let me kill us all before Jack gets married, please and thank you, Zeus.

[ dominik looks skeptical about whatever weird thing jack said to get him out here as he approaches, looking between the two of them ] What is going on, exactly?

[ at least like two fantasies.

vi, blessedly, does not say that out loud. ]

Weapons practice and hopefully not death.

[ luckily jack will never pick up on that vibe... ] You're here to prevent the latter, really.

Yeah. You're here in case I cause an avalanche. [ she pats dom on the shoulder, flashing him an easy smile, even if the thought freaks her out still. ]

Shall we?

Now that I'd like to see. [ he just smirks at her, as mikhail nods in the distance.

"Why don't you aim that way?" he advises ]

[ vi takes a deep breath and also several steps forward so she doesn't, you know, casually electrocute them all. fingers crossed. ]

Here goes nothing. If we die, Jack, I love you like a brother and Dom, you're... hella lit. Mikhail, I really respect everything you do. Okay. I am sorry if we die. [ she cracks her neck. ] Okay Zeus, time for thunderdome.

[ she aims, pauses, turns and gestures for them to get out of the way behind her just in case she is holding the staff backwards though she doesn't think she is (wis 22), and then aims again. (ranged atk 15 + prayer???) ]

[ she feels it beginning to thrum in her hand, and then a flash of heat burns through the metal that causes her to want to drop it... so make a fortitude save! ]

[ vi grits her teeth, but does not let go because she is stubborn and really has a bone to pick with this family, ok. (fort save 30) ]

[ whoa whoa whoa - watsky

not one of them is exactly prepared for what happens as above them, dark clouds start to roll across the sky, drawing the attention of dominik as jack and mikhail continue to watch vi and the bolt that is now coursing with hot white sparks that dance across the length of it - incredibly warm to the touch but not shocking her, although her hair begins to float up in a halo as if she's got her hands on one of those science experiment globes. there's a distant far off rumble and then she feels and sees all of the sparks begin to gather up to where her hand grips the rod, until it becomes too much and something inside of her violently seems to push it away - and out of the rod. lightning shoots from the end of it, just as the clouds above crack mightily and it's hard to tell if the lightning is coming from vi or the sky or both, as it's so brilliant and fast and sudden that it's hard to look at, and dom has no time to react when abruptly that part of the cliffside is just... shorn away like it's nothing, leaving a scorched area that was once some semblance of earth, and causing the ground to begin to rumble around them. ]

[ for a moment vi is struck still, shocked at the power that had coursed through her and then out of her. she understands why zeus is the way he is now; if she had this power all the time she'd have to distract herself with orgies and chasing every beautiful person on the planet just so she didn't throw lighting from the sky every five seconds for the simple fact that she could. ]

Holy fuck.

[ eloquent as always. ]

[ jack had reached out to grasp mikhail's bicep and pull him back away and now exchanges a look with him, both of their eyebrows comically raised ]

... Well. I'd say that was... effective.

[ vi turns to face the menfolk, flushed and radiant, beaming from ear to ear. ]

Everyone alive? I didn't singe anyone?

[ dominik has finally raised a hand and the smoke rising from the cliffside is subsiding ] Nice aim, actually.

Thank you, all those years with a bow paid off.

[ she hugs the staff like it's a stuffed animal or her baby, high off her success. ]

What'd'ya think, Jack? This is total secret weapon material, right?

I'd say for once that our chances are beginning to look a bit less grim, yes.

The Almighty Zeus delivers on thirty years worth of birthday presents, that is for damn sure.

[ vi carefully tucks that hope away in her chest. ]

Better late than never. Do you know if there's a limit on how many times it'll work?

Dunno, feels like as many as I can before I self combust.

[ she pantomimes an explosion. this is ur champion, zeus. ]

Let's perhaps not put that theory to the test.
