I’m sure they’re with Tuyen’s group by now,”[/color][/quote] [i]"So now what? We just sit on our ass?"[/i] Penelope said. [I]"Unless you got a better idea,"[/i] Maxine said. [I]... Elect a new leader. One with a fuckin' brain.[/i] Penelope said, with a roll of her eyes. The last thing that Justin wanted to do was come off as if he was doubting the Vanburens... but he was, on the inside, praying to every deity out there that Ezra was right. Because if Morgana gets there with just the two of them... he was certain that they would lose more than just the skull. He wasn't some sociopath that was going to prattle on about "the needs of the many", so if the Horned God got out but Sabrina and Georgie were okay; so be it. It wasn't like they won't be able to put him back. Getting back on track; Ezra warned them either way and hopefully, they would get out of the line of fire before the crazed leader of the Wiccans gets there. Maybe the healer could convince Morgana to return. Justin was half-listening to the Wiccans, trying to figure out which one was the healer. He kind of recognized a few as the ones that charged through the wall and he gave chase to... and a bunch of others he has never seen before (and one was naked and it burned itself into his gay mind). Confirming his theory that there was more than they thought. Which was not good. The other half of Justin was listening to the Vanburen's chatter... just a little bit less than the Wiccans because he was hoping to find something useful. Blu could lure somebody to a place... which was the most perfect abstraction for this situation! Arabelle began to explain what the girl looked like and if the stakes were not so damn high Justin would had make a snippy comment about Arabelle having a crush on the healer. [I]"Do you want the Goddess to stop giving us gifts?"[/i] Tegan injected. Penelope was silent. [I]"You know, when the Goddess is pleased, she makes us happy. How do we know that the Goddess would be pleased if we dispose of my sister?"[/i] Tegan added. [i]"Have you forgotten that [/i]I'm[I] in charge when Morgana's not here?"[/i] Kelly finally stepped up and spoke. [i]"Keep talking and we're going to be sacrificing you next, Penelope."[/i] [i]"Kelly!"[/i] Thea spoke, waving her hand to accentuate her point. [i]"Human sacrifice is off the table. We agreed on that."[/i] That was her, it had to be her. [color=red]"Yeah, I see her!"[/color] Justin said in a hushed tone. Now, according to Ezra, all they had to do was draw them out. Now, Justin had an idea... he focused on a sprinkler right above them, but the last thing he wanted to do was act without consulting the Vanburens. He floated down and faced the group. [color=red]"Those idiots are right under a sprinkler... but before I do anything I want everyone to be on board with a plan."[/color] [center][hr][img]https://i.imgur.com/3HbDevc.png[/img] [/center][right][b][code]East Araminta - Construction Site[/code][/b][/right][hr][center][hider=Ghostpoet - Concrete Pony][youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNPPAbenJrA&list=OLAK5uy_mV-WuYTXDlMGY-mgT2sTBfgZoK7ey94w0&index=3[/youtube][/hider][/center][hr] [quote=Tansy][color=springgreen]“If you know our father so well then you would know it is not smart to insult him,”[/color] barked Tansy, her voice accompanied by a choir of other voices that boomed together in unison. [color=springgreen]“Who are you? How have you invoked the Triple Goddess’s ire?”[/color][/quote] The skeleton faced Tansy and did not move, flinch, or even show any type of emotion. Even despite the light show, he held his glass of wine. A small chuckle was elicited from him before he took a sip of the wine... and the wine went nowhere except all over his suit. Not that it phased him in the slightest. Mr. Skeleton sighed as he said. "Insult him? Why... I would never," The Skeleton said with a chuckle. "I have a question of my own, but it isn't [i]fair[/i] to expect an answer to a question without giving one. To answer your second question: I helped defeat her brother, and to answer your first..." The skeleton floated off... almost as if he was thinking of something before he sighed. Then answered the question... except it was probably not the answer Tansy was looking for. [i]"I don't know."[/i] He sighed yet again. "Your damn father stole my name... I have all these memories, except they're all alien to me. I don't know if they're mine, someone else's... it is quite confusing, I say. What I do know is that your father... your father is...." He chuckled. "... Is a bit of a dick." He laughed. [quote=Shane][colour=steelblue]"You might not be an enemy. But firstly, we aren't friends. Make no mistake on that subject."[/colour][/quote] [i]"Not yet."[/i] The skeleton flatly answered. [quote=Shane][colour=Steelblue]"We're running out of time. If you're here to help somehow, answer my sister's questions then do what you're here to do. Otherwise..."[/colour][/quote] "Oh, but I am here to help," The skeleton said, "You see... while your bastard of a father incorrigible scum; I don't believe in sins of the father. No one with a functioning mind does. However, your bastard of a father is very... messy. He left mess after mess for me and others to clean up. Which is why I'm here." He opened his arms in a welcoming display. "It's not fair that you all have to shoulder the burden of your bastard father's fuck up after fuck up. You all are very inexperienced in the world of magic thrown into it head first. You will not survive without the assistance of a master such as myself.... so consider me..." He paused for dramatic. "... Your guardian angel."
