romania ♔ follow me as i trip the darkness

[coldheritage]

WHO || Myri, Mark, Kat, Nadia Reichenov [Closed]
WHAT || The Knights track down a lead on the girl Decker Greenwall is looking to recruit
WHERE || A concert hall in Romania
WHEN || Early January, 2013 [back dated]
HOW || Actionspam

[ The Durere concert hall is absolutely packed when they make their way into the back after buying their tickets. Most of the people here have crowded the stage, although a few are parked at back tables with drinks casually procured from the bar. It's smoky and dingy and small, and the concert goers are arrayed in a variety of goth-looking ensembles: a sea of black and funky hair styles and piercings stretches out in front of them. The Knights look so abysmally out of place, it's almost funny. ]

[She stops and looks over the flower and the card, turning towards Kat with the flower in one hand and the card in the other.]

There may be a third looking for this girl.

[shootfirst]

Who's Alys?

[witchwoman]

A pet name, perhaps? I can only assume it's meant for our singer, since this is her dressing room...

[shootfirst]

She's a popular lady. Maybe too popular. Something about this screams 'stalker' to me.

[witchwoman]

[Myri looks around nervously.] Maybe we should we go back to find Mark?

[shootfirst]

Mark's a big boy. And/or man-child. [ she plucks the black rose out of the water, holding it aloft ] I mean, really, black?

[witchwoman]

Is there any sort of magic to track who sent it? [Look, as far as she's concerned, Kat's magic has no limits.]

[shootfirst]

Probably? But not any I can... actually do. [ woops. oh hey is that the sound of someone approaching the door o_o ]

[witchwoman]

[Myri is about to speak, but there's the knock, so he freezes. No really she's terrible at this. Instead of hiding, she just sort of... stands there (hide 5 wtf)]

[coldheritage]

[ kat doesn't fare any better, putting the rose back right as the door opens... revealing nadia standing there in the frame.

she directs a question at them... in romanian. o_o]

[witchwoman]

[Note to Self: Bring Gar along for all the missions not in an English speaking country...]

Ex-excuse me?

[shootfirst]

[muttered:] I really have to learn some language spells.

[coldheritage]

[ it's ok, nadia speaks up, albeit in a very thick eastern european accent. her eyes narrow slightly in suspicion. ] I asked who you were... and why you are here.

[witchwoman]

We wanted to talk to you. There's a chance you may be in danger. We're here to help.

[coldheritage]

[ she looks coolly off-put by the suggestion, as if it's not entirely surprising, but a little disturbing to hear from a stranger. ] Talk quickly.

[witchwoman]

[Myri lets out a quick sigh of relief.]

There are men here, dangerous men. They want to take you and force you to help them complete a sinister goal. We can help you get away, but we don't have much time. [She looks to Kat for assistance.]

[shootfirst]

We're talking mega-bad news bears here. [ nadia does not understand your references, kat :| ] These guys are evil with a capital E. And rich and powerful and ruthless so we need to make with the running.

[coldheritage]

[ she regards them both with an unshaken stare, seeming unaffected by the warning. her eyes flash momentarily to the black flower, which a spot of 12+ can catch. ]

... I know what men you speak of. But you are wrong.

[witchwoman]

[Spot of 17 means Myri follows her gaze and tries to piece it together.]

You've met them before? Talked with them?

[coldheritage]

Months ago. He said he would return... but he is forcing me into nothing.

[witchwoman]

Who did you speak with? What did he tell you, exactly? [She sounds worried. Maybe they're too late.]

[coldheritage]

[ something seems to close off in her expression and she looks a great deal less friendly ]

Enough to make me trust him. Which is more than I can say for either of you, right now.

[witchwoman]

[Myri's not a great diplomat. It's not that she doesn't know what to say, but she does get a little nervous (diplomacy 11).]

Whatever they said, it was a lie! [probably] They're dangerous people. We have to stop them... please!

1/2

[shootfirst]

[ wow kat ain't much better. even with mods her diplomacy check is a TWO. 8| she basically looks like she's gonna punch her, it's the opposite of diplomatic ] Look, you can't go with them. We're not gonna let you get mixed in with that evil crowd, and if you really want to, well, that's not saying much for your non-evilness either, you know.

[coldheritage]

[ she fixes kat with an unwelcome stare ] You don't know the first thing about him.

Get out of my dressing room.
