Gigs: Anyway...was telling Tamara how I woke up in a
very elaborately carved bed being snuggled by a dragon
who keeps calling me "goddess" and has me
handcuffed...and I'm fighting off hystereics here
Gigs: Ty is asleep across the way...no sign of Ash
Tamara: *sends calming emotion through marks to sooth
Gigs' panic*
Kash: Any sign of a struggle or blood?
Gigs: she said Draco attacked with a broad band
electric shock thing after he put me to sleep
Kash: So do you smell any more Ozone?
Gigs: She woke up alone...no Ash...checked the IM
where she talked to you
Kash: see a pile of ashes?
Gigs: You mean Sulfur? All over...I'm in a dragon lair
for God's sake
Tamara: no there wasn't any blood in the room when I
woke up...nope...we wouldn't be talking if he were
dead
Kash: No, ozone...it smells...I don't know kind of
plastic...you get it when lightinging strikes and so
forth.
Lyza: and JC can't reach him either
Tamara: hold yer ears...
Gigs: great..he must still be out...where ever he is
Kash: And Seri can't reach Chrys, and Edward hasn't
heard from Anita, and all the leopards are missing.
Tamara: ASHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kash: Could you try and be any louder?
Gigs: and there are fires in STL keeping JC
busy...great
Asher: *muffled* I am here ma rose
Kash: Luce has fled the scene as well...which means
its probably a big Bad.
Lyza: Caleb was here this morning...let me check cause
as far as i know he still is
Tamara: define "here"
Lyza: okay he is missing too...shit
Kash: Asher???
Asher: *slightly amused* it would appear to be the
inside of a coffin, cherie
Lyza: oh he has jokes huh
Kash: Silver and Holy items? Ash?
Asher: Not IN the coffin with me, but I cannot open
the lid
Kash: Gigs you okay? S'what I meant Asher.
Lyza: Gigs?
Kash: Any ide where exactly you might be...outside of
in a coffin? Where you awake when they moved you?
Lyza: what do you hear?
Asher: Non...I was stunned by the same blast that hit
ma rose...at least SHE is still free to move
about...ma chanteuse, what of le petit dauphin? Is he
safe?
Kash: idea rather. That's it I give up typing, I'm
just going to glare in abject misery at my laptop.
Asher: water dripping on stone
Kash: well there arent' that many caves in
florida....that aren't already submerged...and
basements are about as rare. Any smells Asher?
Lyza: Tam can you feel Gigs...she has not answered
anyone.
Asher: just dankness...a little mildew...nothing
putrid or sulphurous
Lyza: is the water all you hear?
Tamara: She's having a really hard time fighting off
the panic...she REALLY doesn't like handcuffs, and now
that the marks are open, sensing Asher's confinement
isn't helping her cope any
Asher: Oui...Gigs! Snap out of it! Panic will not help
anyone right now...I am unharmed ma chat
Kash: Anything we can do? Seri could always sing to
her...she can be very calming.
Lyza: in her weakened state, Seri better stay away
from her. LOL
Lyza: Ash is right gigs
Tamara: don't think it would be a good idea for her to
have any birds nearby
Lyza: see...my sentaments exactly
Tamara: Gigs are the handcuffs silver?
Kash: Seri wouldn't need to be nearby...she could sing
to you...through the marks it would be able to affect
all of you.
Kash: They'd have to be now wouldn't they?
Tamara: no, appreciate the offer, but we need to be
alert right now
Kash: okay
Tamara: Gigs...I KNOW you can hear me
Gigs: shhhhh...don't give us away, Tam...you know who
is in the room
Tamara: thought as much
Kash: We've gotta get her and Tyler out of
there...like yesterday.
Lyza: I agree
Tamara: *whispers to Gigs* he threatened me indirectly
not long before I woke up
Gigs: "through the marks you can hear Draco's voice"
We will hold your coronation ceremoney tonight, my
goddess...you will be re-born into your glory and will
no longer need this host body
Tamara: don't know WHO I was shielding, but took a
stream of Dragon piss across the back
Kash: Where the hell is a demon when you need one?
Draco: You will remember yourself, my love..and we
will be one once more
Tamara: hell, it's tempting to ask if Seri would let
Fata come out to play with him
Kash: Now there's an interesting suggestion.
Lyza: idea...okay i know Ramses doesn't want Kylie in
harms way, but couldn't the Absorber send out some
kind of signal letting Draco know that Gigs is not
her?
Gigs: oh yeah...lets hand HER a white tiger...DUH
Seri: She's more likely to form and allience with him.
Tamara: No way to get in touch...they've gone to
ground somewhere
Gigs: not without tipping her hand...I was thinking
the same thing...how to convince him I'm not who he
seeks without letting him know I KNOW who he's talking
about and probably know WHO that person is
Tamara: figured that, Seri...was just a stray happy
thought...get plagued with 'em from time to time
Seri: There might technically be a way.
Gigs: I'm all ears....
Tamara: of course. there's also the problem of not
getting KILLED by him for not being his beloved
Kash: Yeah....Kylie wouldn't leave home without her
laptop would she?
Tamara: smart lass!
Gigs: nnoooooo
Kash: Now when you say that why do I instinctively
hear Smart Ass...and not smart lass?
Tamara: Gigs? what's happening?
Lyza: Ramses can get Kylie without Gigs being involved
in that one can't he
Gigs: You must have loved her very much...this goddess
to whom you speak
Draco: I have burned for her for an eternity...and now
I have you back
Seri: We could try the astral plane....its were the
Absorber actually exist...finding Kylie and Jules that
way could be possible.
Gigs: I know what it means to love, Draco....I love
Asher that deeply...at least as much as I'm able in
this life....but I'm not who you seek
Tamara: but we CANNOT reveal them in any way to Draco
Draco: "tenderly caresses Gig's body" You only think
that, because she has not made herself known to you...
Lyza: Is there a way for the Absorber to reveal
herself without revealing Kylie?
Kash: He wouldn't be aware of Fata's movements
there...she exists there alone...finding Jules
wouldn't be a chore for her...and should be
undetectable unless someone were watching both of them
very closely.
Draco: In time, you will know her presence....this
very night you will see her glory revealed within
you...my dear...you are the vessel of a great one...
Seri: Ohh yeah and thats Soooo not all its cracked up
to be.
Draco: A beautiful one at that...she always did choose
vessels of my liking....we will have a magnificant
time together...you will learn to love my touch...you
will forget your pathetic scarred husk...."shows off
his human form"
Gigs: "pitiful mental squeak" Ash....
Kash: What a cocky arrogant bastard....and how dare he
talk about Asher like that...
Tamara: I am sorely tempted to do the whole holy
warrior bit...but we have to locate Asher's exact
location and get him to safety first...Gigs and Tyler
wouldn't be harmed, but I'd hate to see what the Armor
of God would do to a vamp
Kash: The Armor of God?
Tamara: spiritual armor
Kashauna: okay
Gigs: "hears a faint clicking in the walls behind her,
sends it mentally across whispering" Ramses is here
Tamara: Bubba and Earl?
Gigs: I'd know those little snappers anywhere..
Seri: I did not belive he would run.
Gigs: OH MY GOD!
