Lord Meeker Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 (edited) Sebastian stood outside the State Penitentiary. It held a man by the name of James Myriad. A serial killer, and pronounced psychotic. The little that was know about him stated that he talked to people or things that weren't there. That these people or things drove him to murder and other heinous crimes. But to Sebastian the man was brilliant. James had intelligence beyond any normal person and perhaps was the closest thing he had to real family. This was the reason Sebastian had come. To break James Myriad from prison. Sebastian looked to his left where a shorter, slim redheaded, woman held his arm. Lena was the name she'd given him. He didn't know if he could count on her entirely, nor could he have her getting in the way. He didn't need extra baggage. He led the two of them inside the building into the main foyer and up to the main desk. A woman with glasses stopped her work and looked to him. He handed her an envelope that contained instructions an good deal of Cryst vouchers. "Follow the instructions and you will get double the amount." He whispered leaning in. The woman quickly scanned over the list, her eyes widening after each line read. She then flipped through the stack of vouchers. “If you would step through the metal detector.” she said trying to keep calm. He stepped through. No alarms went off despite him carrying a sidearm in his jacket among other noteworthy and concerning things. A man stood waiting for them at the other side. Sebastian tossed him another envelope. The man caught it and nodded his gratitude. He had been paying off the man for quite some time. He, the man, their escort, led them to an elevator. Stepping inside he pushed a button to the lowest floor. The descent was quiet. Each occupant knowing what would happen once they got out. The ding of the elevator nearly made him jump. The doors slid open revealing a man hanging in the air in an x pose. The Myriad arms and feet were clasped with aluminum balls to prevent the movement of such bodily extremities. Who ever had imprisoned Myriad had used magnets to prevent manacles from being moved and to keep James in the vulnerable state he was. Sebastian, removed himself from Lena's grip and immediately set to work, fiddling with the switches and dials. The magnets gave out and Sebastian caught the man before he hit the ground. Setting the man into a sitting position he began working on the manacles. "Do you know how hard it is to imagine more than four Aspects?" Myriad said. "Careful. There are poison needles in those, that kill nigh immediately. Who is your lady friend over there?" "That there is Lady Lena. Lena meet James Myriad." Sebastian said as he worked. He painstakingly worked, knowing what would happen should he slip up. He removed the manacles, closed them and tossed them to Lena. Soon after an alarm went off inside the room, as well as the "They have poison on them, I figured you would be disappointed if we left them." Sebastian shouted over the noise. He moved towards the far wall and placed a flat device in the center, which immediately began to tick. there was a small explosion. After the smoke cleared, the hole revealed a tunnel. Sebastian turned to the man who brought them down. "Sorry, but this is part of the payment." He said then proceeded to knock the man out. He sat him up right against the wall, then maneuvered himself under the Myriad and heaved him to his feet. He threaded himself a suit of armor and a mask. He pulled a smoke bomb from his pocket and pulled the pin. The elevator dinged at that moment and the doors began to open. Sebastian had kept track how long it took to ascend and descend the elevator. So it was about the right time for emergency personnel to come investigate. He tossed the smoke grenade in and and for good measure, once the smoke began tossed in an explosive. Sebastian began to haul Myriad through the wall. Once, he, Myriad and Lena were though he set a charge right above where they entered. It detonated and the rubble blocked the hole they had escaped from. "Careful these tunnels are dangerous. I can't protect either of you very well in confined spaces. I can just not effectively." He said taking the gun from his pocket. A while later of moving though the maze like tunnels. They came to a bricked wall. "Perfect! We are here!" He moved to the bricks an pushed several of them opening up a doorway. A horned man, with a skin pulled tightly over a deer's skull dressed in a butlers uniform. "Ah Bartolomeo! can you take care of Mr. Myraid in the secret guest room?" Sebastian asked. "Also make sure he has plenty of books." "Of course Master Idos." the butler replied bowing slightly. "There is punch in the pitcher upstairs if you wish it. Bart took James Myriad from Sebastian and he, Seb, turned to Lena. He nodded to the stairwell that led out of the cellar. He helped her ascend the stairs and into the kitchen. "Welcome to Idos Manor, Lady Lena." Sebastain said. "Is it your first time seeing it?" Quote This is going to be the main thread where the Bureau of Villainry operates. Good luck to you heroes.

+Ark1002 Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 (edited) The man felt himself become aware. It wouldn't last, he knew. All he knew was darkness. And memories. Memories of death. His breathing quickened, joyful. A swing, his blade seperating a head from a neck. It was amazing, the haze filling his vision. He knew he was slipping, back into the dark. So he resisted. He could feel it's tug, and knew he wouldn't last long. But he still stopped it for, at least, a little bit. He could feel warmth. That was new. He... was physical. He didn't know what that meant, but it was something. He was alive. And there was a world out there, of some sort. He felt awareness slipping away, and tried to smile. He failed.

+Sorana Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 9 hours ago, Lord Meeker said: "Welcome to Idos Manor, Lady Lena." Sebastain said. "Is it your first time seeing it?" Lena grinned at him. "Yes it is." She walked over to the pincher and filled herself a glass of punch. Out of habit she sniffed it and then took a small sip, tasting for a poison. "I guess it's yours?" Quote Do you know after whom I named Lena, or did you simply add the Lady because that's what Seb would do? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Meeker Posted February 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 "Yes. As for the punch, I didn't poison it. I don't have much skill in the area. Though you could take to Myriad, he knows a thing or five about poisons." Sebastian said making small talk. Quote The latter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Sorana Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 (edited) Quote Sometimes life is full of strange coincindences. "Can't hurt to be careful." she replied. "And sure, I'll talk to him. Though it has been a while, since I've met someone who was better than me." Taking a sip of the punch she added: "So what am I doing here?"

Lord Meeker Posted February 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 "Well, I don't have a reason for you to be here in my home exactly. I just just knew that there was a tunnel next to where they were keeping Myriad. Easiest way to get him here and make him disappear." He began slowly. "I figured we'd need to lay low. Though I have a meeting to attend. The Alley Republic or whatever they are calling it." He took a slow drink of punch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Sorana Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 "So you will go to this meeting?" Lena asked slightly annoyed. He'd asked her to poison someone and without a victim it was boring. "And do you have something to eat?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Lady Lena would like some tacos if you would make those." He told the butler. "Of course Master. This was found on the doorstep. You also have a visitor down stairs." Bart gave him the note. Looking over it he sighed. People these days, thinking they had what it took to be a villain. "Where would you like to start? Bottom to top or vice versa?"

This life of his, it was strange, like she had stumbled into the wrong movie.

little wheel Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 Allakn-Isal stepped forward, the colors around him changing, much like they did around a Returned. Red lightning fizzled between Allak's hairs, and he said, "My name is Allakn-Isal, but you have my permission to call me Master Allak." He swirled his cloak, striding past Bartolomeo, his red and blue eyes glinting with excitement. @Lord Meeker, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said leading the way down the stairs. **** "Very well Master Allak. I shall fetch Master Idos for you then." The butler informed the newcomer.

little wheel Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 (edited) "Ah. Hello, Madame Lena." Allak stood on the ground, leaning down to kiss her hand. In a smooth movement, he turned around and shot a bolt of red lightning at Sebastian, swerving it to the side at the last millisecond. "Oh, Sebastian, did you think you could hurt me?" Allak pulled a knife out of his coat and chopped off three of his fingers, which quickly regenerated. "Over six thousand years of life teach you many things, including how to take stormform from a Singer. Not to hard to do, in fact." @Lord Meeker Edited February 5, 2019 by Ax is NOT Sherlock 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Meeker Posted February 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 Sebastian deflected that with a woven thread shield. He wove threads around the man, not touching him but as a warning. "Decapitation would work. I am sure. Though I could just keep slicing and dicing until you stopped glowing too." Sebastian retorted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
