That's what he is, at the end of the day. Lucifer may have fallen, but he is still an angel, he is still one of God's favorites. Last time, Michael vanquished him, casting him down into hell. But the angels are silent, there is no hope coming from the heavens. Sariel has not reappeared after her duel with the devil. Lucifer still seeks out Dr. Chang, the only one able to contain him. His other vessel has already disintegrated to ash. Like a deadly virus, or perhaps a dark cloud, his presence hangs over the town of Altsoba. He inspires the wicked and the cursed, hunting for a susceptible soul, one that might contain him for an hour, a day, a week--but none will last. The longer he is forced to search, the longer the world will live. But Lucifer can wait forever. The people of Altsoba cannot. Remember those who have fallen, those who have already escaped this plight. Do their deaths matter, if the devil walks the earth? Perhaps they do. Perhaps our remaining few, those forced champions, will reap the devil. For he is an angel, is he not? He can be killed as one. The cage will seal him away, but it is not the only way. Good luck, my chosen ones... You will need it. [@Lady Amalthea] [@Pundii]: We rolled a 1, ladies and gents! Did that spook you? Yeah, it wasn't a "will you die roll?" but it was a roll nonetheless. The conversation is cut short, as the Church itself begins to groan and creak. The lights burst, little sparks falling gracefully down from the ceiling. The glass of the windows shatters, and a broken form appears. It is Sariel, covered in blood, with a shimmering silver substance leaking out of her eyes. [color=ffcc66]"...Fuck. He's getting stronger,"[/color] Hanson swore, before running over to the fallen angel. Aloise asists him, putting pressure on a gigantic stab wound. Those well versed in the supernatural may recognize Sariel as a lesser known archangel--a dying one at that. "It was a boy..." Sariel croaks, refuting Hanson's claim, before falling silent, her eyes wide. [color=00ffcc]"Mrs. Crypt, right?"[/color] Aloise asked, breathlessly. [color=00ffcc]"You seem like a potions expert...Any idea how to fix this?"[/color] Hanson was out of his depth as well. No matter what those two did, the substance poured out of Sariel's eyes, despite the stab wound being in the stomach. Liam's guardian angel doesn't have much longer. But question is--what the hell happened to her? What, or rather who, would attack an archangel? [@Witch Cat]: [color=009999]"Of course, the Church is not too far from here. I prefer churches with crypts myself, but this one is fine for the more piously minded,"[/color] Mercurial answers briskly, before giving Eudora more specific directions as to how to get to the hotspot of activity, the church. Her eyes dart towards the sky, before glancing at Eudora. [color=009999]"I advise you tread carefully--the dark forces stop for none, as mother always said. Death at the hands of Lucifer is an excellent way to go--but I would regret not getting to see the full show."[/color] [@Pundii]: Darren and Jade make it out of the prison okay, no more surprises. As they climb into the car, Jade will pause for a moment, frowning to herself. [color=339933]"Did you...hear that?"[/color] She glances around, but there is nothing to be found. Darren won't have heard anything. She shakes it off and shuts the door, but about halfway back to town, the car will stall. Lucky thing that Darren has mechanics for a skill, right? Darren will notice that the distributor cap is incredibly filthy--a bit of cleaning and it should work fine. [@BlueSky44] [@Nallore] [@Witch Cat]: Seems LLA decided to have mercy on you again today. You all make it to the Church, but the injured in your party aren't looking too well. Sylvia is [i]definitely[/i] going to need emergency medical attention, for sure. Sera isn't looking too hot as well...But hey! Trevor's fine. That's good, right? Maybe there'll be someone inside the Church that can help but... What the fuck was that? Did you see that? The lights went out, the windows burst, all at once! Something is going on in there, for sure....Question is, are you willing to find out?
