The Catalogue

[Laur Doyle]

Laurs eyes, fixed upon the image of Till as they were before suddenly snapped over to DP's disembodied head. Numerous feelings were running through her already pressured mind, she no longer knew what to think. She'd had a feeling this talk would be no more private than anything else she'd done so far, up to and including Tills admission he had their conversation within the house recorded, but him butting in like that purely to ask her the most obvious question she'd ever heard... Well, that was enough to cause the mutant to become speechless for such a time that she even heard the quiet reply from Danikat as Dau'Pay had not closed the connection.

"Dau'Pay, you know what I am capable of. I can provide them with the exact location and directions from here, I could even mark it on a map. Unfortunately I cannot provide visual information, my ability does not work that way"

Laur told the floating hologram, forgetting the more obvious retort of 'of course I'm sure' because it was Liessa they were talking about. A child whom she'd looked after and protected despite their misunderstandings, as she had been family. And for once she did not care that another would know she was not 'normal' in any sense of the word, because as she had heard Danikat she assumed Danikat would have heard her.

[Zerrer]

Zerrer leaped onto the back of the 'Lorem ipsum-mobile'.

"I'll sit back here. That way Ihamira could see me from the sky."

[Angel]

"Because it destroys your mind! Asylum-brother!" She half grins back at him, jumping into the shotgun seat. Turning to Kaz as Zerrer jumps in the back,

"This thing had better be fast, we have a very small window when the shield will be down, though perhaps the Controller would let us in." The capitalization in the name for DP is audible, she might not know who, or what, he is but his power here is tangible. Even in a dream-vision.

She has no desire to see the atrocities of that dream again, so she intends to do everything she can, no questions asked. A great tragedy like that... she shakes her head and pries her death grip from the vehicles roll-cage.

She turns to look at Zerr and speaks for his ears alone, with a faint grin.
"How could you forget Ihamira? your own sister. where is she? how long will she take to arrive?"

[Kazumaru]

Kazumaru and Markus climb into the truck, with Markus squished between Kazumaru and Toria. Kazumaru started up the truck.

"You should probably hang on." he said "I haven't driven in a long time."

Without waiting for a response, he mashed the pedal to the floor, sending the truck off at speeds charitably described as "suicidal".

[Zerrer]

Zerrer grinned from the back of the mobile.

"Because she wanted me to forget her! There's no other way I could! She was ascending during that battle where the Rift was manufactured, and then used chaos to make me forget her so that Syph wouldn't use it on her. That's the only explanation!"

[Angel]

"You want to think of it like that, I wont stop you, brother."

She turns back to the fore as the engine roars to life, jerking her about in the seat. Markus is squishing her wings a little so she rearranges as they all go airborne over a bump.

[Zerrer]

Zerrer laughed as they flew through the air. He was giddy.

Out of the corner of his eye he noticed something green. He squinted his eyes and saw it was a woman, with incredibly large green wings. Her hair was wavy and a bright green that seemed to reflect light. A small katana and several shuriken were on her belt.

"Hello, lamb." She said with her musical voice as she landed gently onto the mobile.

Zerrer embraced his sister.

[Kazumaru]

Kazumaru let out an over-enthusiastic rebel yell as the truck hit the ground again, rattling several of the occupants. Had anyone bothered to look at the speedometer, they'd notice that it was attempting to push itself over 200 MPH.

((I'm not actually sure how long it'd take to get to the Training Dojo...))

[Zerrer]

((I dunno. You choose since you're driving.))

After a few minutes of conversing in low murmurs, Ihamira and Zerrer broke apart.

"We'll get this rickety thing moving quite faster in no time." Ihamira said, Her voice almost echoing inside the heads of others.

Zerrer started drawing runes onto the mobile, as Ihamira started singing. Her song was beautiful, clear and resounding. Everybody in the truck felt their hearts leap with every fluctuation in her voice. Her song was the vocal equivalent of Zerrer's runes, but there was one difference. Zerrer's runes were jarring and worked against the nature of things; they were ugly and obtrusive. Ihamira's song was the exact opposite. It chimed and seemed to speak of the nature of swiftness, the nature of time itself.

The song went on.

[Kazumaru]

Finally, Kazumaru could see the Training Dojo. He mashed the brakes and cranked the wheel to the left, nearly causing the truck to turn over.

As the truck settled, he was already opening his door. As he got out, he took a look at the somewhat frightened Markus inside. "... We're, uh, we're here." he said.

Markus crawled out the driver's side, knees shaking. "Vous ne nous conduisez encore jamais." he stammered.

[Danikat]

[Zerrer]

Zerrer and Ihamira leaped from the truck simultaneously. Zerrer called; "We're here!"

Ihamira spoke angrily to Zerrer. "What if these Corporation are already here? You could have alerted them!"

Zerrer closed his eyes; a small rip in the fabric of things opened for a second. By the time it closed, Zerrer was holding a weapon. Not a new weapon, an old one. Raige. The old hammer was once his master, Ragnok's. Now he wielded it again.
"All I do in honor." He murmured.

[Till Doyle]

((Apologies for my long absence. I do try not to hold things up, but it is rather difficult sometimes. I shall be around a little more often with any luck. My apologies to you all again.))

Till watched as Laur raised a child up to the screen, Lianna was her name. Till raised a hand to touch the screen as a conversation broke in about Liessa having gone missing from his house and gone wandering somewhere. He heard Laurs explanation and felt heart-broken that Laurcouldn't have brought Liessa with her. He opened his mouth to say someting, but could muster no words. He plugged in a small device to the terminal, a small comms array that would allow him to communicate with Laur whereever he was.

Standing up and quickly leaving the room, the multi-layers of his robe flowing around and behind him he runs outside of the dojo to the person he stationed outside. There's a small conversation, and Till shows him a wristwatch. The stranger hovers a hand over it and Till begins running west of where he is. "I may be able to get to her quickly. Laur can you sense any danger about her, I need to know."
__________________________________________________________

In the meantime, Liessa was still strolling along, when a strange black creature stalked out in front of her. It made her jump, the frightening sight of it growling at her, its body designed for the kill. Liessa just stands there afraid to move as another two, three even four space themselves out, one at the rear, the other two to her sides. They appear to be inteligent enough to trap their prey amongst four of them. Their strange spines moving as impulses surge through them, telling them to kill. One of them snarls and makes Liessa jump back a step, and falling onto her rear.

[Laur Doyle]

Laur blinked her bright blue eyes with a mixture of confusion and disbelief, this was perhaps the most unprecedented to have happened to her today. And the speed with which had sped out suggested that his legs weren't just healed but they were far better than ever, she could easily percieve the difference of speed between those who ran and those who merely walked. But how could he possibly get there in time, as her ability worrisomely warned her that creatures stronger than humans yet weaker than the majority of Blackstars population had surrounded her step-daughter. The once reluctant mutant believed that Danikat and her dragon were the best chance for Liessas survival, but Till had already left. Laur held Lianna tight to her as she attempted to explain the situation to everyone without unnecessarily alarming her daughter.

"Go west from here, it is two miles away exactly from this spot, she is still fairly close the house. Please make haste, there are... unfriendly creatures around her"

Laur could not tell what was enemy or what was friend from her abilities alone, only if she had seen the person or thing before. But the way they had surrounded her and caused Liessa to stumble suggested the machinations of a predatory mind, whether sentient or not.

((Sorry for my centuries late reply Hope this will cover me..))

Immortalis had waited for a response from DP and as soon as he had got it, he raced towards DP's location. It didn't take him so long now, he had his godly powers back and getting anywhere did not take so long. He had not had the time to see what gods were still in power, alive or even talking. He knew as he felt his powers grow stronger, he would soon be able to feel any and all of them. But for now, his business was with the one who governs this realm.

Hovering outside of the dojo, he takes in the location. A training dojo. Perhaps he would find himself here yet again. From one location he could see machines closing in on this location. Another man was running from this place into the woods. His aura Immortalis found quite confusing. Another man stands outside of the dojo, facing the direction of te oncoming mechs. One thing was certain, DP appeared to be able to cause things to happen.

Again, communicating directly with DP, ~ I ask only for your help. There is a dark force drawing energy within your realm. A foe so powerful it has destroyed gods.~ He made sure to emphasize the word destroyed. ~ I ask for your help to defeat this dark force. In return, I offer you immortality. Immotality that no other can take from you.~ Still hovering above the dojo, he awaits DP's answer...
