[color=#9999ff]"I must say, it sounds as if his visage was much approved then,"[/color] she told her friend. She did not say it to make light of her clear distress when facing Rutherford and his melted form, but she would not lie either. The condition and its circumstances ignited Virginia's curiosity. If they were to encounter him, she would aid Millicent in covering her eyes or whatever was needed, while Virginia could then inspect the horrific yet wondrous sight. She smiled slightly as Millicent made the comment about the way she saw the world. [color=#9999ff]"Perhaps one day you will see the world as I do,"[/color] she said, once more meaning it as a compliment and not a slight. She heard the Russians planning to perform a Mamushka. Elizaveta had told her about how the Mamushka was a trained skill, even mentioning that Virginia and her brother could learn the bond between Mamushka and Tatushka in order to increase their deadliness as they worked together. She had heard Vlad before threaten to dance the Mamushka while wearing the skin of some poor creature that had upset him. Yes, she had not seen a Mamushka in combat before but based on what Elizaveta had told her before, it would make a deadly pair of the two Russians. [color=#9999ff]"This creature is like nothing I have seen before. Should physical attacks fail, I will combat it in the astral form,"[/color] she informed Millicent and the others near her quickly. [color=#9999ff]"Those who do not wish to fight, please either leave or remain here in the back,"[/color] she then advised calmly, before Virginia walked forward down the aisle, twirling her axes lightly in her hands. [color=#9999ff]"Veliona, Dark Mother, I call upon you for strength and clarity,"[/color] Virginia said softly, in a manner not dissimilar to a prayer. [color=#9999ff]"I call upon my fallen sisters and brothers, the Veles, for their knowledge and wisdom as I wade into this darkness."[/color] To die here in battle against this unknown foe? It would be a fitting end. [hider=Roll Request]Characters current location - Church, Gretna Green Characters attempted actions - Speaking in Arre-Catte Waho, Virginia is going to attempt to speak to the creature, saying: "I do not fear you. I am Virginia Margaret Crypt, follower of the Dark Mother Veliona. Who are you?" Any and all skills being used - Nakai, Pavati, Arre-Catte Waho Why each skill is being called - Nakai (for endurance and being ready for anything); Pavati (she's got her axes at the ready and ideally would like to not drop them lol); Arre-Catte Waho (she's going to call out to the creature in that language) Desired location of the character - Further down the aisle[/hider][hr][hr][center][h1][b][i][color=ff6600]Maeve Brennan[/color][/i][/b][/h1][img]https://i.postimg.cc/RFvcVZSh/tumblr-okus4b-RDQz1w3nwrko4-250.gif[/img][hr][hr][b][color=ff6600]Location[/color][/b]: Gretna Green - Church [b][color=ff6600]Skills[/color][/b]: N/A [/center][hr] No one seemed to know what was going on here and only Millicent bothered to answer her question. Even more bizarrely, one of the women up at the front of the Church started to [i]sing[/i] and Maeve had to wonder if she was daft or just insane. What was singing going to do against whatever dark beast was there? She had no idea what was going on in this place, but her instincts told her similarly that running was going to be useless. This [i]thing[/i] was going to catch up to them eventually and with the news of Ireland being overrun with Soulless, Maeve figured that there wouldn't be a lot of safe places to run to soon enough. How long until Scotland was overrun too, especially if they let this thing live? The pale girl was evidently pagan and Maeve's eyes narrowed as she walked forward. With her extreme pale skin, she seemed like a Soulless. Millicent seemed to be rather attached to her, making Maeve wonder if she really was safe or if Millicent's judgment had been compromised after seeing Rutherford's face melt as she described. At any rate, Maeve felt that Millicent and Colette were the only two here she really cared to see to live. The others could die against this foe and she would go to sleep without any trouble. Though if Colette and Millicent died, she wouldn't lose too much sleep over it. [color=ff6600]"I could try ter unearth a Celtic site, see if that'll give us any additional protecshun?"[/color] Maeve suggested to those in the back of the Church. She didn't know how to fight this creature or what would be effective against it, so rushing off with her shillelagh didn't make much sense.
