"Dead place for the dead." Of course she was more quiet than Malik, just looking around in that Piperish way she went about things, head half titled as eyes flicked around to look, gold in them catching the light around the place. Of course she made note not to stare to long at any bit of light...didn't want that eye thing happening right now. "Well...could be worse things than bad air." Oh like things that wanted to maim and or kill or eat you.

A place does not need to be beautiful when all you want is peace. Perhaps when the surface has been cleansed, this place will be beautiful again.
No chuckled from the dragon here. Indeed they were other spirits, kith and kin who found their ways here, drawn to the demi-god even in death. No, that was not why the air was so foul. He tilted his head upwards at the crack in the ceiling, where the sunlight poured through. There, the fumes billowed in and out of the hole, blowing in some unseen wind. The surface was a terrible place.
Tanundra turned his head as if hearing a sound, looking over to the statue. The two shadows had already risen without his promting. They had been watching them for some time it seemed.
Eca sat on the base of statue itself, and when Tanundra drew near she carressed his snout with one hand and a smile. Her lips moved but no sound came out. Ton stood beside his wife, arms crossed, his expression quite nutral. He spoke to Tanundra, again without a voice, but the dragon shook his head. Eca waved at Piper and Malik, while Ton offered a friendly smile.

Malik's face remained cool behind the mask. and that mask was getting on his nerves. surely somethign in his repitiore of necromantic spells woudl solve this little issue. well why not try it, a few whsipered words under that mask, a shimmering of sickly green and pale yellow..and lets see. try adn take the mask off, now that he'd about increased his resistances to disease and poisons by a good three hundred percent. and if it was bad, well..he had spells to cure such things as well and could slide the mask back on. He hated how his voice sounded in teh thing.
"We are here to ask you to convince your mother to do us a favor. we have a rather serious issue to deal with, and we need a blessed weapon, and your mother's blessing will probably hurt this being alot more then a god that I might be able to contact."

A blink at the shaows that were of the two. And a wave back when Eca waved at them. Alwas paid to be polite. But then Piper put her head in her palm, saying something rather irritated sounding in elvish. Of course with the way her voice was coming out it sounded rather awesome. But that was besides the point and she narrowed her eyes slightly at Malik. Did he have to do that? Yes let's make Piper worry right in front of her shall we? Her head could think of several things that could go wrong. A look to the two spirits. "He meant to say 'Hello' before all of that and 'please' afterward."

The two seemed to laugh at Piper's remark, but looked uneasy as Malik took off the mask. Ton, looking concerned but not angry, stepped up to Malik and pushed the mask back on, shaking his head. There were reasons why nothing survived on the surface, not even magic. Live with it for now, would you?
Ton looked back a moment at his wife, lips moving in speach. He looked somewhat frustrated at something. She shrugged her shoulders, saying something in replay. Ton sighed.
Eca approached Piper, walking like any normal human, except that she was transparent. She wasn't a ghost after all. She smiled, pointed at herself, and shrugged. Obviously, communicating like this was going to be difficult. She held out her hand, palm facing the elf, and motioned for Piper to do the same.

Okay she would admit it...this was highly entrancing. But she watched Eca a moment, took in gestures and then she held out her hand to Eca as Eca had done to her, and had requested of her obviously. The dead could talk to each other but not to them. And of course she was a little humored as Ton more or less trumped Malik's own wants. He'd have to deal...like travel food.

Malik crossed his arms lightly but nodded and didn't try anything else about removing it. he just hated how he sounded, like he wasn't even an elf. damn the fact that they needed to wear it, or that ton and eca woudln't move from where they were to a more...suitable to he living location.
"Hey, you're the one that wanted to ground me from working. so I wanted to get this over with as quickly as we can."
He watched the display between Eca nad Piper...and shook his head lighty, tappign his foot, but not in an irritated, hurry up manner. more of a what are you doing and why are you drawing it out manner. before his attention returned to Ton.
"Your desendant, and Eca's say hello."

Eca placed her palm against Piper's, it lingered there for a moment, before Eca's fingers started to slide right through the elfs. She stepped forward and into Piper's body. This would just make everything easier.
Eca wasn't possesing Piper or anything, simply borrowing the woman's vocal abilities. There was no great distinction to tell that she was in the body, exceot that when Piper next spoke, it wasn't her voice, but a human woman's voice, one much deeper and very soft. "I hope this arrangment is not unsatisfactory to you? We will be able to talk with each other now." She asked Piper with her own lips.
Ton smiled happily, it was always good to be remebered, especially by one's kin. The Oracles never got to visit this grave site, tdue to the blindness, and sometimes it was disheartening to only see the male population of his linieage.
Ton held out his palm in similar manner to Malik, that happy, friendly smile never leaving.

Somehow...she had the feeling that something like that was going to happen. But it wasn't the feeling of being possed. More like standing really really close to someone else. Neat? Maybe. Though the sound her her talking to herself essentially was a little...odd. Piper tugged at her collar lightly. "Um...no, no it's fine. Whatever is easiest I guess." Okay...now it was really weird. A look over to Malik where apparently Ton was looking to go the same route. Her look turned slightly encouraging...seeing as this was certinally something Malik wouldn't be happy about. "Interesting to say the least."

Malik looked at Piper, and back at Ton's hand. Trust was never easy for any breed of Drow. there were things in his head he didn't want this one to know, in case it would influence his decision. for a moment Malik just looked at the hand, and back to Piper, then back to Ton.
"Only vocal ability. get in my head and I'll throw you out of me in a heartbeat."
Trust isn't easy for him, and Piper should know that. but he did, slowly, put his hand up to Ton's. Not like he didn't know about these kind of things, being bound with Malvolence for several centuries.

Piper could more or less feel Eca smiling. "That is good." her accent sounded different, which was understandable, considering how long she had been dead.
Ton only smiled and shrugged a bit. He would never have tried to take any more cantrol than the voice. While he had the power to do it, demi that he was, he would never practice such abilities. Palms were together, and he slide inside of Malik.
"Ah now, see? No possesion." There was a pause a moment. "You wish to bless a weopon? Who is it that you wer whishing to smite?"
"The Earth Mother does not often interavt directly with the living."

It was a slightly odd feeling and she wan't entirely sure she was happy or comfortable with it, but she'd make do and not complain."Smite. Talk about your descriptive words. But I guess it works...though we're not dealing with the living..seems we've got an undead on our hands." And a look to Malik, that was it right? She had only half been there for the whole conversation really seeing as she had skipped out early. Yeah talking to herself but not really talking to herself, or Malik for that matter.

"fair enough. as for whom we are wishing to smite. Dimitri is his name. I take it that names sounds quite familiar to you? He's a Lich now, and a powerful one. he's growing souless humans and beings, he tortured the present oracle for an unknown about of time, and he apparently has already tried at least once to personal remove your decendant's soul."
Might as well list crimes.
"We don't know how much of hte future he saw through teh present oracles eyes, and thus we don't know if he's working some sublte plan or waiting for one of us to do something in particular."

Both Ton and Seemed very upset with this news, and they aught to be. Their kin was precious to them.
"Not the living you say..." inquired Eca. "We...had thought Dimitir fully dead."
"Indeed, this is surprising news."
"Our daughter," Eca asked the both, "Does she fair well?"
"And who's soul did he try to take?"
They would need to know these things, when Ton's mother asked them herself. "The Earth Mother, however willing she may be to help stop the dead form living, must furst way her actions aginst the living." Malik felt a distinc shurg. "She will judge whether those currently living...deserver to continue to live."
