Tamara: Just wonder if he was able to convince Kylie to stay put...probably had to get Jason to sit on her Gigs: Padma Kash What is going on? Tamara: Gigs?! Lyza: What! Seri: What? Tamara: you still have the necklace on? Gigs: "starts pulling at the handcuffs hysterically until wrists bleed" Lyza: what is going on!? Seri: Be calm...he can only hurt you if you fight him, let nature guide you. Gigs: NNNOOOO...get THEM OFFF....GET EM OFF Gigs: The Paudun is here Gigs: "tears" Tamara: Gigs, let me in...take strength from me...remember that God does not give us a spirit of fear Lyza: what is on you? Padma: We will see to it you stay with us a long time, Goddess.... Tamara: handcuffs Padma: You AND your beautiful white cat... Kash: Shit, we can't let this happen....there's got to be a way to interrupt this little...tete y tete Kash: How can he know? Lyza: what about astro projection...anyone know how to do it? Seri: That I can do. Gigs: "pushes Gideon off of me with legs throwing him across the room" Stay away from me. I belong to Asher...he is my Master...He is my husband! "screaming" Padma: Is that so, kitten..."pulls scarab, walks over to lightly brush Tyler's hair" Lyza: astral projection would be a good distraction Lyza: I would suggest you do it soon though. Seri: (deep breath) Yes. Tamara: like NOW...before he looses that thing on Tyler Gigs: Oh God...my baby Lyza: Yeah NOW would be good Seri. Gigs: "Gideon stalks forward onto the bed once more...shifting and calling my beast to shift with him" Seri: "silence, then sudden light" Padma...it has been too long. Padma: Seri, my sweet Nightengale...have you come home again at last? Lyza: okay Tam....now that we have a distraction...what next? Seri: Perhaps. Gigs: "shifting, my beast recognizes my alpha...purrs after him" Lyza: that can't be good Seri: I found it interesting to hear that a mere human servant had defeated you, but then you always were the weakest of the council. Tamara: Asher, Gigs is too panicked to let me in, if I merge with you, do you think we could bust out of this box...BEFORE Gideon successfully mates her? Asher: It may work, ma rose Padma: Oh "tsk, tsk" Such harsh words for your Master...you remember the penelty for upsetting me little songbird Seri: I remember... Padma: Come now...give us some mood music for our little rendevous ::silvery image of a small nightingale flies down in front of Gigs bating wings in her face:: Padma: "picks up sleeping child, holding him in arms, stroking his hair" Seri: "Moving closer to Padma" If I sing for you what will you grant me? Gigs: Eyes and Pendant are shining brightly........... Lyza: Kash is there a way for Seri to get him to leave the room? Padma: Why santuary of course...in our home as it was before Kash: I don't know...but I don't like her train of thought. Lyza: she is in astral projection...not physically there he can't REALLY harm her unless he messes with her physical body Tamara: *merges with Asher...gathers combined power and "pushes" against coffin lid...hear chains popping links...lid flies off and we fly out of unguarded dungeon through the familiar maze...headed towards Draco's chambers* Seri: "smiling girmly" Sanctuary...as a bird, I could of course come to you as such...but if I were willing to offer more? Lyza: Relay that to her if she does not already know that. Padma: I'm listening, my sweet Tamara: careless of him to leave no guard Lyza: that is a cocky Padma for you Gigs: "shift is completed, tigers round each other in mating dance" Tamara: cocky Draco too Seri: "Nodding to Tyler" The child...for him I would return as you wished. Gigs: (what do you expect? They're men...they're SUPPOSED to be real cocks!) Kash: (good point) Tamara: *grin* Lyza: *grin* Padma: A tempting offer, my little songbird...but this child is too valuable....he is to be the sacrifice that annoints his mother to her godlike status...anything else? "wicked smile" Seri: My blood is as pure...it would serve as sacrafice as well as his could. Padma: But you come before me as a phantom? When I have such warm, youthful flesh and blood in my grasp "smells Tyler's throat" I've been seduced by your trickery before, Bird...I'll not be so easy this time Gigs: "Alpha pounces White" Asher/Tam: *stop outside door, hearing conversation beyond* no, not Tyler...*sniff air* we smell the magi...he IS here...bon, we will not have to do this alone Gigs: "Roars loudly shaking the crumbling building" Seri: My word is my bond, you know this, I come to you as I may... Asher/Tam: *through marks* FIGHT him, Gigs! Gigs: I can't......I'm sorry beloved........"Draco slams down shields" Draco: Hurry this...they are loose...I can sense them through her. Seri: "swivels around to where Gigs and Gideon struggle then back to Padma" If she isn't annoited yet, any child of there union would not be of pure blood. Padma: It matters little....they will still be "mates" She will be required to attend him....annointing can come ...."smiles evilly" later Asher/Tam: *unable to wait any longer, burst through door, only hoping that Ramses will step in to help soon* Gigs: Sees scorpion on floor...scoops with paw throwing at Draco's face Gigs: "Gideon slides home" Seri: "glares and stesp closer to the two tigers, singing softly" Gigs: "Gigs roars" Asher/Tam: *snatch Tyler from Padma's distracted grasp* Asher/Tam: NO! GIGS NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seri: "screams" Asher you must get him off her....it is not consecrated if he does not spill seed inside her. Ramses: ENOUGH! "faces down Draco" Asher/Tam: *reaches out and "calls" Gideon's tiger* GET OFF HER NOW...SHE IS MINE!!! Draco: I KNEW IT! I KNEW she was the one...elsewise the Magi would not be here! Gigs: "the alpha tiger resists, plunging faster and deeper" Lyza: Ash hun i think you will have to resort to physical means Seri: "singing full voice" Sleep my pretty ones sleep Asher/Tam: *using Tam's power, wraps a cord of energy around Gideon's throat, cutting off air supply* Gigs: "the seed is spilled and both tigers succumb to magical sleep" Padma: YOU HAVE FAILED! "maniacal laugh" Padma: She is OURS! Tamara: (Lyza, we can't set Ty down or Padma will grab him again) Seri: Perhaps...perhaps not. You forget, that as she belongs to him so he belongs to her. Padma: "arrogent" She is not powerful enough to outcall me...or to call an alpha to her side.... Seri: And through her to Asher, and he is powerful enough. Draco: I have long awaited this Magi.... Asher/Tam: *smiling coldly* Do not underestimate us Master of Beasts Gigs: "the pendant glows brighter, blinding Padma" Seri: "glancing over at Ramses and Draco then back at Padma." You have behaved most foolishly Master of Beasts." Ramses: As have I, Master of Pain" Draco: "Shifting, becoming translucent save for his red, glowing eyes" I will enjoy cracking your bones one by one....chrunching them between my teeth Tamara: (hell, who NEEDS pro wrestling?) Luce: I'm forever arriving late, a pity. Asher/Tam: You do it on purpose, Luce. *smile* Kash: (not I say the mouse) Luce: Of course, one must always make an Entrance, otherwise what is the point of coming at all? Luce: Shall I remove Tyler to a more 'hospitable' location? Ramses: I was hoping you'd say something like that "palms remaining scorpian...throws at eyes, scoprian stings eyes" Luce: "One eyebrow rises in question" Who are you speaking to? Lyza: i think that was directed at draco Luce Luce: I should certainly hope so, I do not as a rule pick up insects. Draco: Screams in pain Lyza: LOL...that's cute Luce...coming from you especially Ramses: "Ramses pulls gun to shoot, but Dragon disappears completely" Luce: I have minions to do things like that. Draco: "Electricity fills the air....you have not seen/heard the last of me, Magi" Lyza: ah i see Ramses: Pity that Luce: Indeed....but that does leave us with the question of what to do with Padma Ramses: "All turn toward the Master of Beasts" Padma: "laughs, disappearing like a vanishing "nightmare, followed closely by a sleeping Gideon" Gigs: "Gigs unconcious form returns to human" Asher/Tam: lays Tyler next to his mother Luce: "Shall we all leave this place now? I know of certain others very interested in checking you all for any signs of damage. Seri: "looking from Ramses to Asher and Gigs fades away silently." Kylie: "busts into room, gun drawn followed by Jason in wolf form" Kylie: What happened? Asher/Tam: You shouldn't be here, Kylie! Kylie: Where is everybody? Kylie: And miss out on all the fun? NOT! Luce: It appears you missed it in any case. Kylie: "looks around, slowly puts up gun" Guess so "walks over to sleeping Gigs and Ty" Are they all right? Lyza: for the moment they will be Luce: Neither are at deaths door, however Madame is now mated to the Paudun. Lyza: has anyone still not heard from Nita and the gang? Ramses: "reaches down to stroke Gigs hair" I am sorry, my lady... Luce: We should all leave here now. Kylie: Great...I'm carryin the kid! Luce: You drove? Tyler: "stirs and rubs his eyes" Auntie Kylie...did you bring me chocolate? Lyza: awe Kylie: Of course...what'd ya think? I flew? Wait...in this crowd, that's not such a wierd answer....hey sweetie...as a matter of fact..I think I have some in the car...wanna go see? Tyler: "Nods enthusiastically" Luce: "Looking at Asher" Perhaps as it is daylight I may offer you my services? Asher: "Pulls bedspread from bed and wraps Gigs in it before picking her up" I would be grateful. Luce: It would be my pleasure. "Looking at Ramses." You have your own ways of course, but if you wish I would save you the effort. Ramses: "bows" Thank you, but no. I will look after myself Ramses: "stoops to retrieve his scorpions" Luce: "nods" As you wish. "the three disappear, reappearing in Asher's lair." Asher: Thank you, my lord Luce...if you will excuse me, I must attend to ma Chat. Luce: Of course "disappears". Gigs: "stirs, Ash enters her dreamscape" Queen: Padma...your cat has succeeded in his purpose? Padma: Yes, my queen...the white tiger is mated Queen: Excellent. Well done. And you have the sample of her blood we needed? Padma: Yes, Your Majesty Padma: And a sample of her fur..."holds up the samples for inspection in the candlelight" Queen: That is good. I am anxious to try this new DNA cloning...we shall see if it can be used for our purpose Kash: ohhh wonderful the Queen of nightmares has entered the twenty first century...just what we need high tech vampires. Lyza: i was thinking the same thing...lol Gigs: (yeah...well she's always been a rather classy, if brassy broad) Kash: To bad we're gonna have to kill her. Gigs: That might prove harder than you think...its hard to shoot a shadow Kash: who said anything about shooting her. Gigs: "smiles"
