[2E] Gulf Coast Guardians [IC]: Armageddon Part 3

Graft

You easily sneak down the into the undergrround passage. As you move down, you find a few unconscious guards along the way. Finally, you reach Jason spying outside of a doorway. You hear a voice inside that can only be Steel Samurai. As you look in, there are half a dozen ninjas listening as they pack up files.

:Hehe got a rise out of her, she hasnt given up yet." he smirked as he chuckled in his mind.

"Dont I Aunty?" he asked I think you've forgotten who you're talking to. I feel this world, I feel the billions of souls on it moving about their lives day in and day out."

'Do you think they dont matter? that their love is insignifigant?" he paused a moment looking deep into her eyes perhaps into her soul.

"Then do it." he offered his hand "Look through my eyes, and Ill show you theres hope."

"Look into my soul, and ill show you that love can conquer all, that no matter how often the world rejects you and knocks you down, and puses your face in the mud you can fight back, you can stand up ande make the world into something better." There could be no mistaking the utter and complete conviction in his voice, it was the same conviction his mother had had in her voice when he was born. That same conviction that had DEMANDED that the doctors take care of her child and that he be given to her without delay.

The same conviction and unconditional love that allowed her to stand firm in a world that pushed her down because of her blindness, and who made her life diffcult because her only son looked like a monster. That same courage and conviction she had passed onto him.

He held his hand out and didnt waver because he needed her to believe again, he needed her to believe in love.

Bedros

"Spare me, Bedros. More than six billion souls on this world, and the best I can hope for is to be an animated character on a Saturday morning kids show. On a cable network, no less."

Terrabull


Bedros didnt say anything and his hand didnt waver nor did his gazw. He would not relent here he would Make her see.

[kenseido]

Terrabull

"I have a shoot to get ready for, so just go."

[catsi563]

Terrabull


"No." he said simply "I am not going anywhere until you listen, where ever you go I'll be there, and where ever your photo appears my face will be in it."

"You want me to leave? Then take my hand and look through my eyes, look into my heart and soul, like I know only you can."

This time he actualy moved and that was to plant his hooves firmly in her path. She knew him well enough he wasnt budging either metaphoricaly or literaly.

kind of running out of ideas here you might want to throw me a bone becasue my next step is to kick her right in her pride, and the last person that did that ended up with an ophidian hair do.

Terrabull

"How about I just call security and have you the happy little bull arrested?"

Trust in your GM... Maybe she just needs some time to think.

Terrabull
HP: 2
Conditon: I'm still here

Bedros only response was a snort and a hard grin. Seriously? she was going to sick a bunch of glorified flashlight jockeys on him? Did she honestly think anything shy of the Freedom League would move him?

The ground rumbled beneath him in that fashion that let her know she'd begun pushing buttons, it was a low growling like some great beast that was warning those around it that it was agitated.

For a moment he debated just throwing all caution to the wind and grabbing her and using Jacks little toy to deposit her irritating rear end on Olympus right in Ares leather clad lap. But after a loooong moment Something else reached up and embraced him it was a pulse he'd known all his life from the moment of his conception when his father had used the ritual and the amulet conencted to the plane of earth to bbind his very soul and being to it. It was Grandmother Gaia herself laying her motherly hand on his shoulder a calming gesture that took some of the wind out of his sails. Finaly he sighed and, shook his head and only by dropping his hand did he indicate that she was free to go.

But he never dropped his gaze from her eyes for even a second, never let her off the hook though. He had no fear of any authority she could call, he'd wade through entire armies if need be, and she darned well knew it. His Stone grey eyes bore into hers letting her know that this wasnt over and he wasnt going anywhere.

Think ill adopt that as bedros theme song

Terrabull


Watching his Aunty walk away Bedros snorted in agitation. he was bound and determined that he would remain rooted here until he broke through to her. However he was interrupted in hsi thought process as his phone buzzed with an incomign Email from Singularity.

What all this amounted to was attaching maps and GPS coordinates to an email to Bedros Terrabull and Wraith. Maps and coordinates of the areas around the other three Freedom League sponsored teams. The only text he added was 'Is there anything magic-y about these places?'.

Looking over the mail he saw a series of addresses and gps coordinates and maps and locations of the new Freedom league branches,and the question of whether there was anything magical about them.

He sighed as he shook his head, he couldnt very well turn down his friends request espeically after he had gone and helped him earlier.

Looking over at a couple of security toughs that were giving him the hairy eyeball he snorted at both of them in a fashion that said wipe the tough guy looks off your faces. Before striding purposefuly away from the set and waling a few miles towards the ocean where he sat down on a boulder and looked down at the sand.

As he concentrated runes and sigils began to drawn themselves in the sand as he sought information about those places. He listened to the whispers of wisdom from ancient spirits that were wise beyond all things.

Terrabull

As you review the locations, you can not discern anything magical about those locations. No ley lines, no power centers, vortexes, or anything.

You look back at Aphrodite, and you see she is making a point of not looking your way. Also, she seems distracted, and not paying attention to the bustle around her. Despite her words, you are sure she is considering what you said.

HP:1 Cnd:...

"A wildcard...Blaze, I am not even in the same deck. Don't get me wrong...I will stop Fontaine. That is written in stone. That...or die trying. I will never give up nor quit fighting. But, be the Master Mage...even attempt to be the Master Mage. Not seeing it," replies Stephyn as he shakes his head.

"However, if it will keep Fontaine off his game...and give me opportunity to discover what he is up to...Then I will throw my hat into the ring. If nothing else, I will at least make Fontaine face me now...at my choosing, not his."

Setting down across from Blaze,"Ok...your idea. Now how do we get this going? Not like I can ring him up and challenge him to a debate."

[kenseido]

Wraith

Blaze laughs. "Okay, no. Nobody is nominating you for Master Mage. No, not even close."

She finishes laughing. "But that's kind of the point. Nobody is considering you right now. You're off everyone's radar. Not even a blip. You can use that."

Condition: Nada

Bedros huffed as he finished his brief study but found nothing of interest or even concern about the locals marked. No lines of confluence, no crossroads, not even an old burialground. Heck the only thing of even remote note he found was that the ghost of a cat that lived on the grounds of one of the bases over a hundred years ago was still around but all it did was chase mice and birds around scraing the rodents.

Taking out his phone Bedros quickly dictated a voice Email reply to singularity before sending it off.



Singularity

Nothing of interest or note about any of the locations that I can find. Check with Stephyn maybe he'll have better luck, or ask big Sis shes great with Geomancy.

Sorry.

Bedros

Looking back at the shoot he saw Aunty doing her model thing. Even though he was angry at her he had to admit she was a magnificent creature. She was avoiding all eye contact with him and looked like she wasnt all there at the moment.

Meh he snorted and stood up as he did his stomach rumbled like the engine ona GTO muscle car. Sighing he shrugged and turned away as he went to the town nearby and found a local greasy spoon where he promptly began to put away a prodigous amount of food which had the chef scrambling and the waitress anticipating the big tip he would inevitably give her.

Graft
HP: 1

As he finally caught up with Jason, Graft tapped lightly on the boy's shoulder, hopefully drawing his attention without causing him to alert their prey. The construct then indicated the room they were spying on, then them, then a count to three. Once he'd made sure Jason understood, Graft went through the countdown and moved into the room.

Wraith
Hp:1 Cnd: Relieved...then annoyed, sortof

At first, all Stephyn felt was relief. Sometimes it was good to be wrong...especially when being right was horrifying. But then it dawned on him...she let him sweat. "God woman...you have an evil streak yourself. Remind me never to get on your bad side..."he mutters.

Sitting back down, Stephyn considered what she said for a moment, "So...everyone has forgotten about me? In an essence that is? You're right, that could be advantageous...QUITE advantageous." Stephyn chuckles at a thought, "And here I was thinking that Fontaine was backed off by my endorsement from Eldritch while all along I just wasn't worth the effort."

Leaning back, "Part of me is actually insulted by that...just a part though."

"You mentioned the Hunter's and the Magi. What about the Enforcer's? The Council's police force. Where do they stand on the Fontaines issue? How many are following his lead and how many are just going through the motions?"
Before he continue, Stephyn's cell phone chimes with an e-mail. Perplexed by the fact he got one, Stephyn looks at Blaze apologetically as he opens the file. Once open, it shows a bunch of GPS coordinates combined with maps and the following text:

'Is there anything magic-y about these places?'.

The previous discussion about the Council got Stephyn to thinking an odd thought...Turning the phone to Blaze, Stephyn shows her the file and asks, "What do you think? Any of these places of any importance? Does the Council have any presence here or has there been any upswing of demonic activity in these areas?"
