[Date: October, 12. 7:06 pm.] [Terrence meets up with his contact. There's a low hum in the background.] [The contact arrives with a fwoosh sound.] [Start eavesdropping] Nice entrance. (Incidentally Terrance had to change schools when they closed the prep school for magic down. He's now at a more conventional academy. [The voice that responds is female and dusky. Definately an adult. Sounds human though.] It was, wasn't it? So, when can we expect results? The preliminary work is effectiely done. ::He tries to sound cool and confident:: So now it really just comes down to picking the best time to strike. And this time will be soon, yes? Dear Jason doesn't have much of an attention span. We want to be sure he remembers who to call on. Err... yes, we'll do it within a week. ::His tone then switches to a less confident but a fairly happy one:: Err.. by tomorrow. * Dusky's tone reflects a smirk. "A few days will be fine. And have you decided what you want?" * Terrence has a general sense of excitement and pleasure. Seems concentrated around his neck. Material prosperity. Guaranteed upper middle class lifestyle without working. And I'll have a standard contract. Also a boon for my associate. (Description of room from earlier) (And give me a -4 sight roll.) (Heh. This'll be weird. Her HS apply? Since she's not technically using her eyes. ^^;) (In this case, yes) (Normally, no) (Okay) (Checking something) * Dusky is a rather attractive female with short spikey crimson/orange hair. She's got a tan complexion and has a slinky dress that matches her hair. At present she has an arm around Terrence's neck. * Kahlya has seen her in person once before. She'd been one of several people sitting at the cafe opposite Smee headquarters when she went to visit. Are you sure there isn't more that you'd want for yourself? You could always reward her out of your prosperity. Err.. no. Thank you, but.. wait.. her? * Dusky smirks again. "I guessed. You didn't seem like the type for a male demon." * Terrence's eyes look down for a moment. Then back up some but not quite to her face. Then he apparently remembers who he's dealing with and looks back to her face. So, it's a deal? She'll specify hers when this is over. * Dusky seems mildly put out. "It's a deal. We'll contact you when it's done. And her boon will be befitting her subordinant position. * Terrance view goes up and then down. And stays down for a moment. * Dusky turns and walks away. A gate of fire appears before her but doesn't harm the surroundings. * Terrance rubs at his head. This attempt doesn't work. * Dusky leaves through the portal and then it vanishes. (She thinking that to him?) (Yep ^_^) * Terrence starts. * Terrence heads up stairs, stopping by the kitchen before returning to his room. He does seem mad. (doesn't) * Kahlya gives a slight trace of a smile. * Kahlya then gives the hint of a pout. * Kahlya replies flatly. * Kahlya replies even in more of a flat tone. His tone is more annoyed. She seems to be trying to think of the word but doesn't quite have the vocabulary. You're pushing it. But no, it's about reputation. If I succeed in a job for a major demon word will spread. Getting my own demon to just give me stuff doesn't cut it. She mentally grins. * Terrence mentally harrumphs but seems appeased. * Kahlya has the makings of another pout. * Kahlya pouts, for real this time, and breaks the mental contact. "Honestly...the nerve..." She looks herself over and frowns. "I wonder why I really can't change this form...most can.." * Kahlya looks around, in the meantime, for the meeting place so she can arrange all this. (Want to finish it all up tonight? Can do but wanted to check as this is the obvious breaking point.) (Nah, I can finish all of it. So the next one actually gets action moving :P) [Before too long the van comes along. Different driver this time. Still has that possessed look though.]] * Kahlya waits in a calm fashion, arms and legs crossed, sitting on a dumpster's edge. She's got a slight smirk this time though.] [This time a female. College student age by the look of it. She opens up the side door.] You don't discriminate do you? * Kahlya walks in before she says any more. Better to avoid patterns. ::She closes the door. Weapon stocks still there:: * Kahlya waits for the door to clothes then gets a more serious look. "But doesn't it kill the host?" * Female shakes her head. "Only if I wish it to." So what constitutes a proper host anyways then? Just curious... A loner in reasonable shape. One that won't be missed for a few hours. So you guys are...spirits or something.. * Kahlya waves her hand. "No matter. We've got to do it by tomorrow. I was sorta planning on it anyways..I hate all this waiting.." Or something. Tonight would be best. Saki has spoken to others. Two have taken out of the picture. One is so weak willed as to be irrelevent. But she may soon speak to your target. * Kahlya raises an eyebrow. "Spoken to others? So she knows?" We have long been her enemies. She has long known of us. She only rarely discussed it. But her friends are the sort that advise precautions. She is resistant, but that may change if we hesistate. * Kahlya nods. "I've given it some thought...we need something to get into the lock on her apartment, something to immobilize her...hmm..." If we could keep her sedated, that would help. * Female frowns but nods. "If knocked out our shadow master can guarantee she stays stuck between life and death. And the acid to get in to her apartment. Also to take care of her weapons... * Kahlya sideglances at the girl. "They CAN do that, correct?" * Female nods. "Yes." Wonderful...I was thinking the emotions could keep her calm in case she heard something..but there still needs to be a way to immobilize her at first... They may be able to. But she does listen to her danger sense so she may be able to break the calm. * Kahlya frowns. "I can probably knock her out...but that risks revealing my hand too soon. She might recognize..." Defeating her is the most difficult part. And we can take steps to disguise you in shadows. * Kahlya nods. "I'll have to try something unusual though. My standard is...errm...kinda signature." Your choice. Just remember that she will not survive the experience. You may play what games you will with the paramour, but she dies at the end. Para-what? The boyfriend. Who again? The one in associated with her that brings up the lovers card. Oh. * Kahlya then has a flicker of recognition. "Ohhhh! HER boyfriend!" * Female is just quiet for a moment. "Yes. So, you have choosen two. I assume you wish them to choose a form to best exercise their powers. Who will be your third?" Can she break through rope? * Female pauses for a second. "She is acrobetic and fairly dexterous, but has no other related abilities." So your rope artist can tie her up, right? Yes. Oh, and there were two other matters. Her sleep is often trouble with nightmares and she has a strange fascination with stuffed toys with plush skins. We have attempted to use both against her but to this point have failed. ...plush...toys? Bean filled infant animals and the like. We do not understand it. She is not completely obsessed, but her interests go far beyond that of a normal person. * Kahlya snaps her fingers and a puff of smoky black mist appears. Moments later is a kyuuuut little bunny plushie. She blinks at it. "Like this?" * Female glances back. "Yes. But with little tags that say the creatures name." She then looks forward and slams on the brakes when someone pulls a crazy maneuver in front of her. Gimme a body acrobatics check. [Kahlya is thrown out of her seat and slams against the back of one of the front seats. Take 10 subdual type damage.] * Female curses. "Mortal drivers." * Kahlya hisses between her fanged teeth, rubbing her head. "Ow. Watch it next time.." It was the accursed mortal who did cut infront of me without warning! So you say...anyhow, what's her reaction? She is substantially distraction. (distracted) ...so if I made myself into a giant bunny suit...? She may be distracted. Or perhaps deeply disturbed. We would be deeply disturbed. ...I would be too. It's a last resort certainly... * Female nods. "Any means necessary." So. Rope, acid, and shadow. All in forms that maximize powers. Does the look of the person they pick matter to you? So the question is...is her strong will stronger than her acrobatic ability? Mmm...if she has nightmares, she probably does not sleep that soundly...that's to our disadvantage. Her acrobatic is bit stronger though both are formidable. So she might be able to escape the rope unless she's properly distracted... * Female nods. So...um...what's a suitably late hour to you people? If we wish to catch her sleeping but before dawn? Perhaps two thirty? * Kahlya rubs her head. "I wouldn't know. My sleeping patterns aren't quite the same as yours..." Sleep is not a concern. Very well then. We'll go for that. We shall meet outside the building? Sounds acceptable. How stealthy are your people? Shadows can hide us. Although we do still make some noise. Sound is more important. She can't see us if she doesn't wake up...do what you can to muffle that. But...if she does, shadow will be good to avoid witnesses. * Female nods. I believe that's the last of the issues." She smiles and turns towards the door. "We'll discuss the rest when it comes to it." * Female nods. "Until then." She lets Kahlya off soon after. * Kahlya gets off the bus, then loses the grin, heading back off towards Terence's with a more serious, contemplative look to her face. Gotta plan. (Okay, there any on screen planning or we done?) (We're done) [End!]
