The meeting was over, and so Quinn collected the parchment from his instruments and stowed away his tools. It was an odd feeling in his stomach, knowing what now had to be done. He needed to make a couple of stops before anything else, of course. But once that was done, he would probably be setting out again.
His gaze drifted to his teacher once he was done packing, and immediately he could tell that Ashra wasn't fully there. So he then shifted to Milan and spoke inside her head, Milan, I have a stop to make. I won't be long, if Ashra asks, tell him I needed to drop some things off. He will know where I have gone.
Without another word, Quinn's body shimmered out of focus and disappeared from the meeting room. He reappeared inside his room at the Lotus Mansion, or former Lotus Mansion anyway. Would they call it the STU HQ now?
What a mouthful of a name... He muttered to himself, It's their call though, I guess.
Quinn quickly unpacked all of his supplies and stowed them away in their various locations. The last things he unpacked was the papers from the meeting. He placed them in a neat order upon his desk, and then with a tap of his hand they disappeared from his room and reappeared in Lina's office. She needed the papers more than he did.
So I think that covers everything... Quinn hesitated though. Something was bothering him, and he wasn't sure what. So he decided to meditate. Ashra wouldn't mind, seeing as it was what he always told Quinn to do anyway.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And at the same time, something was bothering Mira. She as well couldn't figure out what. She shifted the weight off her body due to her discomfort, making Stefan take notice. So Stefan took the initiative and said something to Remus. He knew Mira wouldn't.
"How much longer is it going to take us to arrive?" Stefan asked as kindly as possibly, "I don't mean to be rude, but Mira and I have traveled for quite some time and need some rest."

As the allies left, no one would really care to pay enough attention when a the small spider hitched ride out the door or when it leapt off once out of the building. They had too much to think about for obvious reasons.
The spider scuttled up a nearby buiding and into the gloved hand of Arachneim, "Tell me all the juicy tidbits my friend," he said with a smirk, as he looked into the spider's eyes.
Mara looked on impatiently as the 'conversation' commenced, "Did your bug catch anything good? We have to make up for earlier."
Arachneim's smirk became a grin as the spider crawled up his arm, "Oh yes, we have much to give. Let's go to Lady Isabelle and tell her the good news."
"About time. I was getting bored copying myself all over this city..." Mara answered with a grin of her own before they both disappeared.
--
Blood slowly slipped from Raziel's broad shoulders as the water washed him clean, but instead of going down the drain the thick red liquid ran into a clear crystal orb, free of water trying to dilute it. You should never waste blood when so much can be used with it...
The shower was a quick one for the Rajen for he never saw the point in taking it any longer than a half an hour. Darkbrown orbs idly looked down at the halfway-filled crystal ball, a smal smile quickly fading away as he lifted it up. Oh how he wished that the blood inside the orb was of a different shade and a different texture, it scent far more refined and forever diluted with magic. Like an Asanti's...
He sighed, lowering the orbs slightly as he stepped out of the shower, a long bath towel circling around his lower half as he moved into the bedroom. One day I will get my wish. All I have to do is wait...

"We're here." Remus pointed a short ways away to his home. He waited until they were all inside. He then spoke softly to his son, releasing him as he did so. "We'll discuss this when your mother comes home. If you run away again I'll have her fetch you back by magic, and that will only add time to your already considerable sentence." He gave Riken one last look before turning to his guests. "Can I get you anything."

Jett Bonds Agency was a riot. Sable stepped into the building and frowned at the absolute chaos. It looked like a freaking costume party in here and then she realized that all these people were serious. She grimaced at a rather dominatrix looking woman. And then there was one dressed as a cowboy, another that reminded her of Neo from the Matrix series. At the moment, an Indiana Jones look alike and what looked like a skin head were duking it out in the middle of the room, creating all kinds of havoc. Sable snarled, pulled out her gun, aimed for the cieling and fired. Everyone froze and stared at her, "What the hll is wrong with you people?!" She roared at them, completely incensed.
A Betty Boop look alike popped into view, "The job has been filled! She's our newest member, thank you all for coming!"
Sable blinked at the woman, there was a desperate undertone to her voice as she made the announcement. Silence prevailed for a moment then everyone started muttering and moving towards her, towards the front door. Sable moved out of the way and silently waited while the building emptied out.
"You have no idea how happy I am that you're here. I'm sorry to volunteer you like that but we needed to get them out of here! My name is Claire."
"Sable." She replied.
"So....you want the job, Sable?" Claire asked.
"Where do I sign up, Claire?" She smiled down at the woman.Merlin stood slowly and moved to Vincent's side, slipping her arm around his waist, "I have big news for you when we get back home." She murmered into his ear before looking over to Lina and finger waving, "How are the boys?" She asked."I'm so happy we've come to an understanding." She smiled indulgently at the girl, wiping off the table surface and shooing the tiwns out of the kitchen. They scampered out, grinning cheekily at Kari before disappearing from view. Goldie jerked awake and blinked up at the cieling. She only vaguely remembered what she was dreaming about but she had an impression of a very familiar voice speaking to her. She settled back onto the bed and closed her eyes looking around her apartment...well, her room. Her brother didn't trust her to live on her own even though she insisted she was perfectly fine.
The one in question was sitting in the livingroom his nose in a book. He blinked and looked towards his sister's room. He frowned and sighed. While she was working she threw herself into it so she had not time for anything else, not even thinking. On her days off she sought refuge in slumber. ((*pokes Troden*))

Vincent looked at her curiously before nodding and glancing back at Emit who was currently moving to Seine's side. A silent message passed between them before he said, "How big is this news? Will I like it?"
Lina stopped for a moment and smiled at Merlin, her darker thoughts melting away for the moment, "They are fine...although Riken has decided to lose his mind. I'll the be in the process of fixing it when I return home." If only Riken knew how to fix his predicaments without resorting to disappearing, things would be great... she thought with a sigh.
Meanwhile, Riken himself was currently in the process of creating the cloud of stormy depression in his room. He sat forlornly upon the bed, looking out the window for the inevitable retrn of his mother, but instead he saw someone else... Salen.
He could tell by the katana at the man's side,, but the rest of his figure was in shadow. How did he know where to find them? Did he follow us? he thought, an eyebrow arching as the man walked away, "Hmm...very strange. I'll ask mom about it."
--
Kari sighed as she looked at herself in the mirror. She looked like the traditional elf princess now... She shuddered once again before moving towards her room's balcony. The wind lightly caressed her hair as she looked at the large expanse of land before her, but her look soon became distant as her thoughts grew. She herself had dreams of the past, dreams much darker than Tyran's thoughts of a woman to be sure. Dreams of elves living in the woods and the smell of iron all around her. The looks in their eyes shone with a fire that only evil could bring. She could see them now...
Shaking her head, she moved back into the room, her eyes closing slightly, "Perhaps I should talk to mother as well..." she murmured, slowly lifting a silver circlet from her dresser, "She will probably want to know what is in my dreams as well..."
Tyran slowly moved through the city, his pale eyes looking straight as he walked. He knew where he needed to go, so there was no room for anything else. The Nocturne Goldie... he said as he walked into the eternal wall of music known as the entrance I'll be waiting...

Troden turned slighlty, an eyebrwo arching at the woman's words. This woman had traveled far to get here and now that she at his front door she needed help? It didn't seem to add up to him, but he lead her into the house either way. Atleast within his own walls he would have the upper hand...
Meanwhile, Arachneim and Mara reappeared within the room where Isabelle and the others were waiting and bowed before Isabelle. WHen Troden was gone, it was both written and common sense to have the base be under Isabelle's command, making Raziel more of a third in the running of things, but he was still an important figure no less.
"Lady Isabelle, we have news pertaining to the meeting with the Ten and their allies," they said as they bowed, "Shall we repot it to you now or later?"
--
Raziel himself had long since left the shower and was currently walking down a corridor not unlike the one Troden himself was leading his 'guest' down. This one held guards every few yards as well, but all of them were woman both skilled in the way of the blade except for two who were there to seach physically and by magical means for anything that could be used for a weapon. Including magic itself.
Raziel looked at the temporary magical seal placed upon each of his wrists idly before he was led down a series of passageways by these very women, the symbol of the Sulla clan tattooed upon the back of their necks. In fact, he was sure that every person within these walls would have the mark upon them. This was the Head of the Sulla Clan's home afterall...
They finally stopped infront of a large open area where a seemingly shallow pool of water, most likely a bathing pool, lay littered with lotus blossoms the floated untouched upon the suface of the water...atleast until he saw a swift shape moving through the water. It was then that a blindfold was placed over his eyes and he was made to bow. The sound of something coming out of the water gave Raziel the impression that he was indeed right about someone in the water. The voice he heard soon after only confirmed his thoughts.
"What is your purpose for requesting an audience with me?" a female voice asked, her tone cold and commanding, "Speak now for my patitnece is little."
"I have come with news dealing with the Ten and the status of their vessels," Raziel said calmly, "It appears they are ready to harbour the Ten's souls and powers now."
A few moments later, the blindfold was taken off and Raziel was able to stand and see a woman lying upon a wide throne carved out of the white limestone that created the room they were in. Her skin was as pale as the room, as was her hair which was cut short at the back and left her long bangs to frame her delicate looking face that as tinged with pride as she stared at him with piercing indigo eyes. He could see even with the black kimono cvering her that she had a dancer's body and the two warfans placed infront of her were proof of that. The symbol of the Sulla Clan was tattoed upon the center of her forehead, obliterating any shred of doubt he may have had about her. This was Lady Kanna, Head of the Sulla Clan.
He had an urge to bow once again at the sight of her, but quietly shook it off as she began to speak, "How soon will my brother make his move?" she asked, her eyes narrowing slightly at his rather intense gaze, "Do you know of this?"
"I am sorry, but I do not," Raziel replied, wisely looking away, "But I am sure the message will be given to our allies if it hasn't already."
"I see... Very well, you may go."
Raziel bowed once again before he was escorted back the way he came. As soon as he was on Rajen ground, the seals faded away, taking with it his extraordinary calm. He leaned against the wals and took in a deep breath. Those piercing eyes...the powerful voice... "Now I see why Troden respects her so..." he murmured before moving on.
Kanna made sure that Raziel had left before she closed her eyes and sent a message to a certain Fae she now needed to see, Aster, come to the Sulla House immediately. I must see you...

"Nothing much." Mira replied after hesitating momentarily. A stray sound had caught her ear, and she had zoned out momentarily, "Some water, perhaps a little food, and maybe a spare room if you have one."
"We're sorry for the inconvenience. We've been traveling for some time." Stefan explained, "If more information is required, we'd be happy to supply it. We just need to rest, first."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quinn's meditation had separated his body and mind. Physically, he still sat cross-legged in his room. Mentally, he wandered the streets of Signet, following a disturbingly familiar energy trail. It led him to Remus's home, where he found a person that looked remarkably like his sister. He had even said her name, temporarily forgetting the fact that he was only in a spiritual form and could not be seen. It was what caused her head to turn.
And in that same instant, his body and mind snapped back into one being. Quinn was drained, and although he wanted to he couldn't move for several minutes. His sister was in Remus's home! Oh how he longed ot see her!

Once Troden had left Isabelle stood as if she were to follow but found Arachneim and Mara. She gave them a soft smile and nodded, her attention at the door. More or less worried about what Troden was doing or who had intrupted them.
Pulling herself away from her thoughts and lingering worries she gave her full attention to the two, "Please." She murmered.
Seine only smiled and once the meeting was ajerned she stood looked around for Emit, she smiled once she saw him move ever closer to her. With a quick change and older looking women appeared, her golden locks still in tack. 'EMIT!' Not being able to keep her place she lerched forward tackling Emit and giving him a large hug, 'It's not fair, you shouldn't be gone for so long. You make me worried and I feel as if I loose you everytime your away.' She gave him an innocent smile as she pulled away.

They straightened at once and Arachneim began to speak, "The vessels are ready as said before, and preparations for sending groups to retrieve them have already begun. Each allies was given a book that will prove very valuable to us if one is retrieved for it will tell us the location the vessel is perceived to be and more."
"Don't worry though," Mara said, lightly patting her partner on the back, "Arachneim set one of his bugs on one of the allies, so say the word and the guy will probably die a horrible death while giving us the book."
Arachneim looked pleased, but suddenly glared at her, "Spiders are not bugs. They are-"
"Oh who cares! Just take the damn compliment..." Arachneim glared at her once again, but siad nothing. Mara continued, "Do you wish us to send this information to our allies or wait for further instuctions?"

"Certainly. There is no problem." Remus returned with the water shortly and pointed down a hallway by the staircase. "The spare room is the last one on the right." He smiled a little. "Even if the there was a mixup, in the end you were protecting my son so my hospitality is gladly given."

Karrot stopped in front of a large building. "Here we are, home sweet home!"
"This is a hotel... You live... in a hotel?"
"Not exactly, We rent out the basement, and it is expandable, as I have a tunnel into the earth around it. So we've got a royal suite underground, Welcome to the Grand Home of Gaaron."
As he spoke of the tunnel, Karrot opened a hatch to the basement on the side of the building and began to decend a the dark tunnel, Roma held a small flame in his hand and lit the way for the others.
"Don't worry, We've paid to have the lower area given indoor plumbing and it is wired with electricity."
They entered into a large room beneath the basement, Karrot flipped a switch, revealing only how big the room really was, it was long, wide, and deep. A small area was set aside with a large TV and several comfortable chairs. Also several bedrooms and a large kitchen with several fridges and large grills and stoves.
"Let me add a room for the Boy real quick here... I may as well add some of the wall wiring."
The walls in the room shifted and a new room formed, several lights and wires simply came out of the wall and arranged themselves around the room.
"Uh, thanks... do you mind If I go there right away... there are some things I need to work on... do you have any scrap metal?"
"Well, we do have some left over materials from when my brother and I built our mobile transport devices. So if you have a use for that extra, go ahead."
Shock Matrix went over to where Roma had pointed and gathered up an armload before going into the new room and closing the door.
The others looked at each other as Karrot shruged and went to cook something as the others settled on the furnature, the Brothers began flipping through channels as Torrent pulled a book out of his bag and began to read.

Merlin grinned slowly but didn't reply, instead, turning away from him and disappearing into the shadow near the wall, appearing in their room sagain. She sighed, running hand through her hair, humming wistfully to herself, making her way to the bed."You know, pants and a shirt would have suited just fine." Magnolia's voice intruded on Kari's thoughts. Marguerite had opted to go play in the garden and twins....she wasn't sure she wanted to know what the twins were doing, hopefully not making the maids flustered, she'd scolded them about that already. "I don't ask for extremes, little love." Magnolia added, sweeping a tendril of her hair behind her ear, a tender gesture. When Daystar's hand touched his, power sizzled up Troden's arm, a sharp jolt that was almost painful. Daystar's tranquil expression didn't falter, she seemed unaware of the burst of power, "You must be a powerful man, or perhaps a very important man to need such such failthful man guarding your home." She commented, her voice reverberating in his head as well as his ears, putting a slight pressure on his temple. She wasn't quite using a human voice.

Bell paid little attention to the two squabbling, her attention zoning in and out. She shook her had and looked back at the two and smile, "Um..." Her eyes fell to the floor trying to make a decision out of the little information she caught, "For now, we should wait." She Thought about the decision for a moment and nodded in her own approval.
((Do do doo doo do do... ))

"We will wait for your orders then," Arachneim and Mara replied before disappearing.
Troden paused momentarily, an eyebrow arching at the jolt of power before he continued to lead the way, his steps slowly heard as he entered the room where Isabelle and the others were waiting, "Perhaps it is both." he replied, his dark eyes narrowing slightly.
"I believe now would be a good time to explain your presence here...whoever you are."

Daystar looked startled then she flushed, "Oh dear, I do apologize for not introducing myself, that was very rude of me." She stepped away from him and dropped a graceful, flawless curtsie, "My name is Daystar Clarion and I am the Liason of our people, brother. Admittedly, I am concerned for you, your birth into existence caused quite a ripple in my conciousness." She appeared to look around, tilting her head she smiled directly at Isabelle, "Are you his Lady?" Goldie blinked and was suddenly standing, her heart in her throat, a soft whimper escaped her lips before she silenced herself. She paced the length of her room, holding herself, she was going crazy, she was finally going crazy, she was hearing him in her head. The only reason could be that she was losing it, her mind finally crumbling under the pressure of her grief, it was still so raw. Neither she nor her brother understood why it hadn't slackened with time, burying herself in her work proved to be the only way to distract herself. But now she had this overwhelming compulsion to get to Merlin's club. She paced again, making small helpless noises unwittingly.
"Goldie? Goldie, are you okay in there? Are you in pain? Did you hurt yourself?" Her brother's voice was a bit muffled through the door.
Goldie didn't reply, she had to get out of here and fast. She vanished, not bothering with her appearance. She now stood across the street from the Nocturne, it was bumping, as usual. She hesitated before stepping off the curve and moving across the street towards the front entrance. ((*searches in vain for post that applies to Aster*))
