When the world goes boom (Calleigh)

[Anastasia]

Dana takes you right out and into a library. Vast shelves soar above and around you, area silent save for the gentle rustling of turning pages. Until, "Tepen!" Dana shouts, "I need you for something, get over here!"

[Yuthirin]

"Oooooooo books!"

[Anastasia]

A man comes forward. A man with yellow skin and a sour expression, clad in robes of red and gray. His gaze bores into both of them, "Lower your voices," he demands curtly, "Tepen is occupied. What business do you have with him?"

Dana scoffs, "Whatfuckingever. I need him to open a portal to Ysgard for us. I need to warm up for beating down Daddy and Calleigh here needs to have some fucking violence in her life, all explosion style."

[Yuthirin]

Calleigh nods. "We need drinks and snacks too. Snacks! I like snacks."

[Anastasia]

"Damn right," Dana nods sharply, "We'll get some fucking snacks from the mess hall."

Sage Vul'lath looks less than impressed and says, "Well, as Tepen is busy, you'll need to find someone else who can do it. Go bother Jaela's mother or someone like that."

[Yuthirin]

Calleigh looks at the man with big, shiny eyes. "Are you a librarian? Librarians are always grumpy with me."

[Anastasia]

"Out," Sage Vul'lath points at the portal, "Now."

"Fuck, don't get your frilly underthings in a knot. Go get laid or something," Dana retorts, going through the portal. Just before she does, "Come on, we'll go find Hanna."

[Yuthirin]

"Bye mister gith librarian man!" Calleigh waves as she flies backwards after Dana.

[Anastasia]

Back in the entry hall, Dana's next to that ghost girl again. Elena is saying, "...n the courtyard, by the shrine to the Triune."

"Yeah," Dana says, heading back out. The entry hall is busy, people coming and going. Statues - or perhaps golems - stand at guard here, seeming to get Dana's attention. She watches them a few moments before a vicious scowl crosses her face. She then promptly goes off and out, saying nothing about it.

[Yuthirin]

Calleigh notices the strange interaction, but says nothing!

[Anastasia]

Hanna's found in the courtyard, coming out of a cathedral. It's tucked into a corner of the courtyard, vines covering part of it. She's a tall angel, seven feet tall if an inch. She wears a white toga and carries a wicked looking scythe on her back. "Yo, Hanna," Dana calls, "I need transportation to Ysgard! Calleigh and I are going to fuck some shit up!"

Hanna's gaze travels to the courre, where she promptly stops. In an instant her scythe is out, a predatory smile coming to her face. "Aboleth," she says in a low voice, "Fish slaver, dominator and soon to be dead. Elena, Aurora's under infiltration and attack!"

Unfortunately, the battle hardened angel's reaction to a possible aboleth-alike isn't to freak out, but to handle it in a calm way that leads to said aboleth getting maimed. You have a reaction here, so make it count.

Yes, she has true seeing innately. Planetar and angel stuff.

[Yuthirin]

"Aboleth? Whe-oh, you can see Tryll! That doesn't happen often! Usually only happens with the dragons in Brightwater, but they're used to it by now. Gosh, that's embarrassing. He's not an aboleth, though. No gross slime or anything like that. Or the slavery stuff." Calleigh shivers. "Ew. Like, can you imagine? Slimy tentacles and slavery and actually I've met people into that kind of thing and it's REALLY awkward when they can see him and now this is weird. Uhhhhhhm. Besides, he doesn't look like an aboleth. Aboleths look like him. Important difference. He's nice! Can we go to Ysgard now? Also do you have snacks? Nobody seems to have any snacks."

[Anastasia]

Hanna steps forward, 10ft away as her protective aura washes over Calleigh and Tryll. Her eyes gleam with holy light as she looms over both of them, "Are you possessed, child?" she asks in a quiet, dangerous voice. "Are you acting of your free will?"

Meanwhile you can see soldiers from far away - mortals, celestials, elementals and odder things yet - coming towards your spot in the courtyard. Fast.

Meanwhile Dana snaps, "Fuck no, I'm in MY right mind."

"Not you," Hanna says. "The courre."

[Yuthirin]

Calleigh pouts, folding her arms. "'Course I am! What kinda question is that? You do know that courre can generate a magical circle against evil, right? And it's on all the time? Also, Queen Morwel likes him. Sort of. That's good enough for me."

[Anastasia]

As soldiers rush closer, "If you follow the Queen of Stars, then this should be harmless. Don't resist," Hanna says, energy pooling around her.
