@Pundii When you post, I'll send you a PM with the information you need for your next post, in order to keep things smooth. Unless everyone else posts super quickly, and in that case, it'll come in the next update.
@Pundii: On day 5




December 28th, 2016 - Coventry Horrors, Fifth Floor

Out in the small hallway there is no one to be seen. Photographs of Andromeda's ancestors, all the way back to the founding of Coventry, line the hallway. Their eyes seem to be looking down towards Emmie, either in pity or annoyance. It isn't quite clear which. Whoever slipped the note underneath the door is nowhere to be seen as well. They had already run off by the time Emmie got there. However, there is a small and colorful flyer on the ground. It's advertising tonight's performance for Cirque Anomaly, boasting a final act that is to die for. Stapled to it are five tickets for the show.

Back inside the Aldrich living space, Aloise and Hanson continue to bicker about whether or not to send Emmie home--wherever home might be. The pair of them are practically at each other's necks when Andromeda throws her hands up. "I'll go, then!" Andromeda said, marching over towards the door, only to be stopped by Hanson as well.

"Go check out that wardrobe, sis," Hanson requested. "We've got the kid covered."

"But she's traumatized and you two are arguing like insensitive assholes!" Andromeda hissed, evidently fed up with Aloise and Hanson's antics. The ex-marine blushed in embarrassment. Hanson simply rolled his eyes.

"I've seen shit--lost both my moms. Lost my bio-dad. And if we're gonna stop these deaths, we're sure as hell gonna need you to go check out that wardrobe," Hanson insisted, to which Andromeda simply sighed and nodded. The white haired woman left the fifth floor quietly, tiptoeing past Emmie. Emmie wouldn't be able to see her.

Once Andromeda left, Hanson, Aloise, and Keenan regarded each other. It was a triangle of mistrust, with Seraphina's corpse in the center of it. "I can't let him out of my sight," Keenan explained, nodding at Hanson. "He's a wanted man." Aloise sighed, but nodded. She didn't trust either of them.

"Well shit, man, the law doesn't say I need to be turned in now," Hanson chuckled. "How about you and me go catch ourselves a sniper, and Miss Hunter here can calm the kid down?"

Keenan glanced over at Aloise, who nodded. She needed to stay at the hotel for Liam's sake anyways. She wasn't about to lose two friends today. The unlikely trio then left the room, with the men dashing down the stairs and out into the lobby, and Aloise comfortingly putting a hand on Emmie's back.

"Do you want to talk?" she asked softly.

December 28th, 2016 - Cirque Anomaly

By the time Lilith has finished going through the journal, Strong has spotted her. He runs over, almost comically with his arms flailing out behind him, and gasps a bit as he reaches her. He may be good for strength, but he isn't good at sprints. He smiles queasily at her, before noticing the journal in her hand. He'd seen Folly write in it a few times before, having been in Cirque Anomaly long before Folly was born.

"Figured you could use some help, miss," Strong explained, looking sheepish. "I take it you're going to do it, then...Help them burn her."

December 28th, 1929 - Coventry Horrors, Attic

As Eudora circles the wardrobe, there are no obvious logos or anything. There is no indication of who made the wardrobe, and aside from what appears to be suspiciously like a scorch mark on one side, it is entirely unmarked. It is, aside from its obvious wonders, a perfectly ordinary wardrobe. There isn't even a helpful hint as to who constructed the thing! All in all, it must be rather disappointing.

"The thing's been here for ages," Fairfax offered helpfully, playing with his goggles nervously. "I can't remember when it was made--had to be after the fire, though. It's good craftsmanship."

At Eudora's request, Fairfax froze for a moment, as if petrified. His face then blossomed into a gigantic smile, as if he were a little boy on Christmas Day. "I thought you'd never ask, miss."


Dorothy Pender

Location: Medical Bay ---> Outside the Retribution


In some ways it felt a bit strange to Dorothy, moving from planet to planet in the Georgia System. They had left Whitefall and landed in Newhope, and at moments, she felt the closeness of her home planet. Boros wasn't more than a day's flying away, and if she closed her eyes, she could still see her drunken father, slouched up against a table. It wasn't a pleasant memory to have, but she remembered other things about Boros. She remembered the time she spent with her little sister. Those were the good memories.

Of course, Dorothy knew that Daphne was immature for her age...but she was soft on her sister. She would feel almost hypocritical to not be, as much as she logically knew that Daphne would need to mature eventually, especially to be an aid to the Independent cause. She still saw her sister as the sweet little girl on Boros, struggling to make by with an abusive and alcoholic father. It made perfect sense to her that Daphne was moody--she had a good reason to be.

She had entered the medical bay half an hour prior, only to find the medical lead, Jahosafat, passed out in one of the medical bay beds. While she didn't care for the excessive drinking he did earlier as part of his grieving process, she took more issue with his research. In Dorothy's opinion, no good could come of it. Learning how to harness the reavers as weapons, how to civilize them, whatever it was called...She got a sick feeling in her stomach just thinking about it. Had the research been a means to cure the reavers, to bring them back humanity or at least put them to rest, she could have felt morally at ease with it. But those were simply her own thoughts.

Dorothy sighed slightly. The medical bay was quiet and she was no longer in charge of it. Her compulsive nature to organize and reorganize would have to wait. As it was, Jahosafat would likely appreciate some quiet--the man was in desperate need of sleep, from what Dorothy could tell. She then pulled her hair back into a bun and quietly left the medical bay, making her way outside. Anisa was supposed to be meeting with a trader that morning, and knowing that her friend had had a rough past couple of days, Dorothy made her way outside.

"Captain," Dorothy greeted once she saw Anisa.
@FantasyChic: Just a gentle reminder that you'll need to add in Lilith's relation with Thalia as well

@BlueSky44: Remember, gotta get those relations in. You have until your CS switches over to day 8 to post, cannot post until those relations are up.
@Lady Amalthea@Pundii The OG Crypts go to Cairo? :O *faints at the thought*


October Crypt

Interacting With: @Nallore Carolina Reed
Location: Saranac Lake


October thought about it for a moment and then nodded. She tugged on her hair as her mind raced through a plan, and she then darted over towards a boarded up house. It hadn't been inhabited in ages, with the paint pealing and a general look of desolation to it. She struck up a light in her hands, keeping it small as to not attract attention, and she kicked aside some dirt from the porch, clearing a spot for Carolina to lie down.

"I don't know how you'll know it, but I am confident that when you see the object, you will know it," October assured the girl, beckoning her with the non-fire filled hand to sit down and enact her ability. A few other children could be seen wandering the streets, dashing in and out of homes without any care towards preventing their discovery. October herself didn't seem too perturbed at the notion of revealing her powers to the normals.

"It'll perhaps have an aura to it," October mused. "Or you will likely recognize it as bizarre, strange, and wonderful. Either way, let me know as soon as you spy something peculiar..." She paused for a moment. "Or if you decide burning this town to the ground is the better decision."
@FantasyChic Just sent the excerpts over to you. So sorry, it slipped my mind completely.
@Nallore If you read the superhero tag, it involves supernatural. :P And we have deviances, man.
