Recollections: The Coven [COMPLETED]

---

From Tampa to Miami.

---

"Oh! You mean Quinn? Did everyone think that? Oh no no no! We're just friends, gosh I can't believe everyone thought that! But yes, I would love to hit the club!"

Grace

As Grace talked, Madison cracked a bigger and bigger smile. Before she just couldn't contain it anymore and broke out laughing. Not because she didn't necessarily think Grace was lying, but the way she was speaking was not very convincing. In Madison's eyes, maybe they weren't an item but probably having sex or at the very least attracted to each other. Not that Madison thought that was a bad thing in any way... she was used to the Coven's weird freaky lesbian ways.

"Sorry sis, but the first thing that came to mind when you poured your heart out for Quinn, the first thing I thought was," Madison faced forward as she raised her fingertips off the wheel and kept her palms off it and her questions went open. "'Quinn must be fuckin' her real good'... because, no offense, that's what it sounds like!"

Maybe that wasn't the most appropriate thing to talk about, but Madison, due to her background as a stripper, was kind of used to these weird and inappropriate conversations. Though, thinking about her sisters that bastard Blake sacrificed made her blood boil. They made sure to get vengeance for them and get something out of Blake. At least her car wasn't weirdly quiet.

"Unless you don't swing that way-" Which Grace did. "-and this conversation makes you uncomfortable. But, sis, this the Coven. We've talked about shit a trillion times worse than this."

Still, there was some part of Grace that seemed... sheltered? From what Madison heard Grace was rich and probably unused to this kind of stuff. Though, she seemed brave enough to agree to meet a shady ass black market organization. Madison sighed as she figured she should drop the topic of Grace's sexuality. Though, Madison did admit she was pretty good looking - enough to be a stripper! She didn't want to pull race into the mix but white dudes love Asian women and she'd probably leave with at least five G's a night. Where Madison would have to work her ass off just to get a thousand!

"I mean, have you ever been out to a club or anything?" Madison asked, "Like... it ain't like the movies. It's crazy and intense if it's your first time... Plus it's Miami. It's a special place."

She shrugged before she cracked a smile as another question popped in her head. "... At least tell me did you ever blow trees before?"

The car in front of hers, she thought was Quinn's, turned into a gas station and Madison shrugged. She needed to stretch her legs out after driving for so long. "We're taking a break, I guess," Madison said as she turned into the gas station. She pulled into a parking spot before she turned the car off and got out. The first thing that Madison did was stretch one hand up above her head and roll her neck. Madison then stretched out her legs.

"Ya'll go do whatever, I'll be in there in a minute," Madison said.

---

From Tampa to Miami.

---

Claudette offered to ride with Quinn since she too didn't want to be in the same car as Maya and Emily. Now the latter has definitely done a lot of growing, and the former isn't that bad, but they were still pretty... obnoxious. Each of them alone would make a four-hour-long car ride seem a few days long. Also not too many people wanted to ride with Quinn so Claudette bit the bullet. Herik also came with them not that it was unwelcomed but she couldn't shake the feeling that he had some resentment towards her. Or maybe that was just by association with Madison.

Maybe he was just uneasy given that they lost two sisters due to Apparitions and almost lost another due to Madison's abstraction going out of control. Claudette sighed as she stared into her book and realized that it was almost over. All they had to do was get this damn cure and she would let the Coven to their own devices. They can go fight Annabelle if they wanted to, but Claudette was going to toss the Witches Darkness into the ocean and go back to New York.

A sigh escaped her lips. This was a nice car to drive around in... but it was too high profile. Especially if they were going to meet a group of shady black market dealers. She wasn't going to argue with Quinn's car fetish or Grace's almost comical naivety. She just buried herself in this book as Quinn and Herik talked... and then Quinn turned the vehicle into a gas station and Claudette shrugged. They should probably take a break, even if Claud wanted to get to Miami as fast as possible. A road trip like this was taxing on a person.

Claudette got out of the car and watched as Quinn went over to Maya's car and walked into the gas station. The first thing that Claudette did was grab several bottles of water because everyone needed to stay hydrated. She kept her eyes on the Coven just in case somebody did something stupid.

---

From Tampa to Miami.

---

Back and forth like a yoyo.

Emily was desperate not to start a fight with Maya or something especially since she was more or less shunted into the same car as her. It was almost like these sluts wanted her to start something with her. So, not to start a fight Emily practiced with her brand new abstraction. She had a ball that she had connected to her green telekinetic tethers and was yanking it back and forth. It wasn't a whole lot but if Emily was going to be a hair above useless and avoid a repeat of the capture the flag game.

However, Maya just had to break her concentration and blast this obnoxious ass Korean rap song. She rolled her eyes as she just knew that Maya knew that she didn't like rap. It was hard to keep the ball moving... until she lost focused and hit herself in the face.

"Maya..." Emily trailed off, "... Could ya' play anything other than this garbage?"

Predictably Maya ignored her and Emily just crossed her arms and realized that she should have brought headphones of her own to drown out this garbage. She paid more attention to what Maya was saying for once if only to distract her from the horrid music.

“I don’t care what you do, I just need to rest my hand.”

Maya

"... What is your wrist sore from jerking off your boyfriend?" Emily muttered underneath her breath to no one in particular as the ball started floating in the air. She had to resist starting shit with Maya, but it was just so hard when she didn't like how she acts. Or her voice. Or her stupid face.

“... And something to wash down painkillers.”

Maya

Emily cracked a grin as she couldn't resist saying it.

"... And Trevor. You probably have a lot of him left in your throat."

Recollections: The Coven [COMPLETED]

Leave Herik alone. He can be the biggest simp the world's ever seen if he wants to.

@silvermist1116

It's kinda telling that all the male characters (NPC or not) in an RP about da wamen are simps.

Also so we're on the same page, everyone's going to be in a different vehicle (I think Quinn, Madison, and Maya are gonna be driving different cars).

Guild News: May 2020

Bring back Guild News around October so my next RP can get featured.

Recollections: The Coven [COMPLETED]

@The Ghost Note He can be Kim's contact. She'll need more people that knows what they're doing, since the Coven's a train wreck and more likely to get themselves killed.

@silvermist1116

Sounds good... even though Kimberly doesn't believe they're that dysfunctional yet.

Also Herik is the numbah one simp

Recollections: The Coven [COMPLETED]

The Beach House.

"Purpose... Hold on, I'm new and trying to piece everything together, there's just a lot of information on the table right now. Your uh... Uh... Master did say that Vashti wanted to be cured of being a big lizard thingy right? Killing Vashti isn't curing her, so maybe... Don't do that next time?"

Grace

Given the Jaw's nature, he was difficult to read the Apparition like any other human being. He had no facial expressions, nor did the beast gesture or even change the tone it speaks in. The only way to get its true feelings was from its words.

"We were not made privy,"

"To this information,"

At this moment each of the Jaw's skulls looked at each other and after a brief moment of silence, they all faced Grace yet again.

"Regardless,"

"We were protecting our master,"

"From the beast,"

"We will give the beast the benefit of the doubt,"

"But should she attack us again,"

All three skulls leaned into Grace's face until they were merely inches away. They moved slowly not to get the impression that they were going to attack her, but given the Jaw's inherent nature Grace was probably intimidated in some way. They spoke in unison when they said,

"We will show no quarter."

Madison was pretty quiet when the Jaws spoke... not that she was intimidated by the thing given that she defeated him in combat before. She was trying to understand how he thinks, and get some reason why he attacked Vashti. Trying was the keyword here because it was probably impossible for her to decipher the thought process of a dinosaur. From what she gathered, the Jaws saw Vashti as a threat even after she transformed back. Madison sighed as she finally spoke.

"Please," Madison said, "Don't do anything unless I tell you to, this... wasn't helping."

She sighed and the Jaws were silent before he said.

"Very well."

"We will obey."

"Master,"

"... And don't call me that," Madison rolled her eyes up into her head.

"I know that most of the coven does not agree with each other, that's been very clear, but I should at least let you know that you're not alone in your corner anymore, I now know your side and will help as best I can."

Grace

These words, even if they could be bullshit, really brightened Madison's day after this. Though she thought about it and maybe it wasn't Grace that was the only person... and maybe she was being as overdramatic as Vashti for flipping out like that and assuming that everyone was conspiring against her. Madison shook her head as she sighed, she placed down the bottles of wine as she placed her hands on her hips. At the end of the day, everyone's human and makes mistakes, but she at least saw herself as being better than Vashti in that regard.

And she wasn't a little bitch either.

"Well, thanks sis," Madison looked her straight in the eye, "I really appreciate it, and I mean that."

"Stupid question but uh... Will you kill me if I try to pet you?"

Grace

"We will not,"

"However,"

"We are no mere pet,"

"If you touch us,"

"We will not kill you,"

"We'll just stop at-"

"Okay, that's enough!" Madison interrupted and awkwardly laughed. The Jaws retracted and then disappeared and she wished that Vashti would understand what happened... however, Madison knew that Vashti was beyond convincing or saving. Well, at least she's aware that the Jaws is capable of some degree of sentient thought. However, Madison had to admit that some of the others had a point when they said that the Jaws was dangerous. And she was going to take her dangerous ass out the door with their liquor.

"We should hang out sometimes though-" Then Madison heard some footsteps approach.

---

The Beach House.

“I will be by your side to bring down Saul, but we’ll have to leave for Miami as soon as possible. The stronger the curse becomes, the harder it will be to stop her. And we must help our own before we try.”

Lyss

“I’ll join, I don’t have anything that needs curing, but I know others do, and I’d rather avoid meeting a horrible end because I didn’t help. The more of us, the better, or something.”

Maya

“I’ll also come! Wait… what are we doing?”

Isla

"I'm in. I said I was going to pay more attention and now I'm going to help the living shit out of everyone."

Quinn

Despite it all, Kimberly couldn't help but crack a smile at their enthusiasm. She wasn't even sure if they'd even get past Annabelle killing their friends, but they did. Maybe she just underestimated the humanity of a bunch of witches. However, Lyss was correct, they had to help each other before they helped her. Which she understood, nor was she going to pressure them on.

"I'm glad all of you are in," Kimberly said.

Though, Kimberly was not going to give up on Annabelle just yet... if there's a will, there's a way and the world of magic and the Extra-Normal had shown her some incredible things. Kimberly knew that nobody was above saying, but she also had that small doubt deep in her heart.

"I'll take your word Kimberly that none of us will die helping you, but the Dollhouse doesn't seem like the type of place we should get mixed up in. Are you sure you don't know anyone else that's not illegal that can help us? I need to be sure before we go knocking on Mr. Schmidt's door asking for a handout."

Herik

This was a valid concern, Kimberly knew that. The Dollhouse was... scary and Kimberly only went with them before because they were simple to deal with and they got the job done. However, there was one problem. "Unfortunately, I don't," Kimberly started. "I've been trying to find somebody else but Extra-Normals that are helpful are few and in-betweens unfortunately. And I will try-" Keyword here because she wasn't trying to buy thirty different cures when her priority, at the moment, was Annabelle Heart. "-to help you all out."

Emily thought the Recollection was... tragic. Nobody should have to go through that, and the only thing that came to mind was what if her sister was caught up in that? Emily wouldn't like it, but if Lyss says that Annabelle is beyond saving then she's probably right. She didn't believe that Lyss truly had their best interests at heart anymore, but she wasn't wrong about the supernatural. Still, there was something that the Reed girl had in mind about Luther Saul.

"Blake donates a lot of money into Saul's organization," Emily started. "Maybe we can get some information out of him." She shrugged.

One person came to mind that didn't join the circle and it was Vashti, who was pretty quiet during the whole discussion. Which kind of affirmed Emily's suspicions that she was only in this for herself, if that little outburst didn't tell her anything. If she had known that Kimberly wasn't useless beforehand she would have been a lot harsher when speaking to her earlier, but she figured that she should stop here. Emily noticed that Herik was doing a whole lot of not talking ever since Kimberly came and that outburst started, and she knew that silence told her everything she needed to know. Emily didn't want to look like she was targeting Vashti and lose Herik's support.

However, there was something very important that came to mind that a lot of the group (I.E anyone with a brain) was hopefully already thinking: Vashti should be the last person to come. Regardless of her self-pitying and theatrics; at best Vashti was useless, and at worst a liability. Emily looked at Claudette and then looked at Lyss.

"Hey, I really hate to say this-" Emily stopped as she even she cringed at her blatant lies, and drifted into her secretary demeanor. "-but maybe we shouldn't bring Vashti on a trip to meet a shady black market organization in case she hulks out or something." There were so many reasons not to bring Vashti along and she was hoping that they'd see the light for once in their God damn lives.

Claudette was silent for a few moments before she answered. "... I agree that Vashti should remain behind." It was simple; if Vashti snapped and transformed on the trip there or when they meet the Dollhouse, it would be a disaster! Claudette was counting on this cure saving her and some of the others. They couldn't risk it, also just why should she come?

“I’m going to join them. Make sure they don’t fuck this up,”

Penni

Kimberly felt Penny's hand on her shoulder and listened to her friend's secret message. She was hoping that none of them had any type of telepathic ability or enhanced hearing ability, but she understood Penny's concerns. The Coven so far seemed a bit... dysfunctional. She wasn't just talking about Vashti's outburst, it was just that some of them gave her a bad feeling. Like one of them were going to find some way to mess this up even though Lyss made a great first impression on her. So far Kimberly was going to give them the benefit of the doubt, but Penny? She knew that Penny got stuff done, but she wasn't sure if sending Penny off with a bunch of strange witches was the best idea. She'd give Penny the same courtesy but they were talking about how Vashti should stay behind. That was something that Kimberly agreed with but she had another thought.

"... I'll stay behind with her," Kimberly said as she took a step forward around the time Penny let go of her. "The Dollhouse doesn't deal with me anymore, and if they find out that I'm in town they might get suspicious about a huge group of Extra-Normals-" I mean, not that you guys aren't conspicuous on your own. "- moving into their city." Also, it's so she can get some space from the Coven without them acting like she's their savior.

Kimberly shrugged as she pulled out her camera and looked at it. "I'm going to remain here in Tampa and keep an eye on Saul and Annabelle and keep you all posted on anything that they're doing." That way, the Coven isn't scrambling around trying to figure out what's going on in Tampa when they get back in a few days.

"Sounds good," Claudette said before she turned to the entire Coven. The meeting went better than she thought it would! She thought that with the departure of Madison the whole meeting would fall apart but Ms. Walton saved the day. She sighed as she clapped her hands together and said, "Everyone, let's get ready and meet up back here in a few hours, ideally we can get to Miami before midnight."

Emily shrugged, "I can phone up Blake to get us a hotel in Miami... but I don't think we should get a five-star hotel. Too conspicuous." She suggested.

"Sounds good," Claudette said before she turned to Lyss, "... Let's see if we can catch Madison."

---

The Coven was not aware of this, but they had another guest in their meeting. Somebody who didn't have their best interests at heart. Savannah Farrow, she was right there in the middle of the meeting, sitting on one of the pool chairs with one leg crossed over the other. Not one person noticed her because not one person could even perceive her. That was the power of her... abstraction?

She listened to everything and found it frustrating how childish the Coven was... was Saul convinced that they were a threat when they're about to tear each other's throats out? However, they were after Annabelle Heart... then they were going to move onto Saul. They also seemed to have the government dogs in their pocket, however, Savannah was not going to let this slide. Part of her wanted to pull out a pistol and unload on the most capable members of the Coven but that wasn't going to do them much good. Especially since they were off to get a cure for their little problem...

When they left, Savannah also left, unperceived by the Coven to report her findings to Saul.

From Tampa to Miami.

Song that's playing in Madison's car

The Coven quickly assembled all of their things and got Blake to get them a nice hotel in Miami. Hopefully, they'd come off as a bunch of girls going on vacation rather than a bunch of Extra-Normal weirdos doing weirdo shit. At least that was what Madison was hoping... even though she technically quit the Coven. Claudette, Lyss, and Grace told her their thoughts on what happened and then told her their new plan. Madison was on board with only so that she can visit Miami, and help her sisters out. They were probably fine with her coming or didn't care enough to bother speaking up.

The words "Vashti's not coming" was all Madison needed to hear to grab her bags and engage in the impromptu drive to Miami. The only problem was that they stipulated that she helps drive some of them there, and she agreed. She just had to suck it up so that she could enjoy herself... though, she had to remember it was to help her sisters. So they had a caravan of sorts heading to Miami, Maya was driving one car she knew. It probably would have been easier to just take a train there but some of them were griping about missing the "road trip" experience.

Well, Madison wasn't with putting miles on her car.

Still, she had no idea where the other girls' cars went and she wasn't worried about them. She stipulated that Herik doesn't drive with her. No offense to the big guy, but she could tell that he's on Vashti's side on this. Not that it matters given that Vashti's not here and maybe he'll stop trying to get some puss for one second and clear his head.

Though, Madison realized how awkward the car ride was without people talking so she figured that she made a conversation. An awkward conversation. "You know I heard this song before in a twerking class..." Madison trailed off, "... At a church."

Okay, that wasn't helping, she turned to Grace as she realized that she had the perfect silence breaker!

"So, you ready to hit up the clubs in Miami? I know some places," Madison stated, "... If your girlfriend will let you go, that is. Heh." She chuckled to make it sound like a joke... even though she was pretty certain that Grace and Quinn were dating. Or at least horny for each other.

Recollections: The Coven [COMPLETED]

@The Ghost Note Do you have an idea for how Stacey will be introduced into the story? You said you wanted him to help Kimberly or be part whatever she's got going on.

@silvermist1116

Hmmmm... that was just a random suggestion. However maybe it can work and Stacey is a contact of hers that's in Miami. I plan for her to stay behind and keep watch while Penny goes with the Coven. Alternatively he could be apart of Dollhouse and defects.

Recollections: The Coven [COMPLETED]

@The Ghost Note So extra-normals are immune to Stacey? How does emotional-field partial immunity work for one of his curses, but they're completely immune for others? Does Stacey's weakness depend on him hearing his own curse like in his original sheet?

@silvermist1116

In my head for Adepts; each spell is an abstraction of their own and interacts with emotional-fields in their own ways and as for the weakness; yes.

Recollections: The Coven [COMPLETED]

@silvermist1116 accepted

LIMITS ⫻ The curses in his songs can bypass Emotional-Fields to an extent, each one interacts with emotional fields in different capacities. However, whoever listens to his songs, friend and foe alike, will be hit with the curse. Stacey cannot control who gets affected and who will not. Each curse has a different set of limits.

Fears: The curse can bypass emotional-fields partially. The Extra-Normal can be affected by it but the Emotional-Fields will eventually fight off the curse and the effects will be removed around five minutes, ten minutes at most. The Blind are affected permanently or as long as Stacey wills it. However, the curse can be broken if they face their fears and they will be immune to it.

Stone: The Extra-Normal are immune to the effects of the stone curse. Its effects are not instant and take a couple minutes for somebody to turn into stone if they were to use this time to meet the conditions of breaking the curse they are saved. Somebody can also return them to normal if they are the right type of Extra-Normal.

Allure: Again, the Extra-Normal are immune to the effects of this curse, however the Blind are not.

Trap: Stacey can trap one Apparition at a time, and he has no-decision in which one. Only the closet one will be sucked into his guitar and he can't instantly suck them in. There's a period where they can fight back, and he can only store up to ten Apparitions at a time. However, attempting to go over that limit will cause the guitar to be broken and all of his Apparitions to be released.

WEAKNESSES ⫻ Stacey is affected by his curses in various ways... Stacey will see the hallucinations from the fear curse but he can also ignore them. However, these hallucinations can impair his vision. The stone curse will partially turn him into stone for a period of time and will greatly slow him down - or even break and crack his skin. Stacey is susceptible to attack when he traps an Apparition within his guitar and his casting can be interrupted.
