Keilven, sensing the sudden stop of magical outpouring, literally hurled himself up the walls until he was at the top. Suddenly up top, he saw... nothing. There was no one in the room. Thoroughly confused, Keilven turned and walked around the room, saw a staircase, started climbing it, and once he had climbed it, sure enough, there were two warlocks with their backs to him.
Keilven approached them quietly, before coughing to let them know they weren't alone.
((Thanks venom for helping me out there. I was really confused there for a while, but I think this does the trick.))

Renard had begun to yell as Paul lined up his shot.
"There's-" A blur was streaking down the empty stretch of freeway.
"-an Ac-" Paul readied his shot.
"-ol-" The blur was sweeping past the body.
"-yte!" The shot hit nothing but concrete. A woman was standing beside them, cradling the Sage's body.
"s**t! Aaron! Aaron, can you hear me?" she was screaming hysterically at his bloody form.
"It hurts so much... aughh..." was all he could manage in response. The woman looked at Paul's gun, made an incorrect assumption, and gave him the most hate-filled look he'd ever received.
"This is war, now," she spat. "I hope your loved ones are very well protected." She became a blur again as she streaked off into the distance, carrying the Sage's injured and severely bleeding body with her.
"... Boneboy, we'd best take our leave. Gennady - remember the one who was going to beat his proof to death? He and his demons are on their way. We may need to leave very soon," Renard direct-spoke to Fyrin. He got in the car beside Fyrin.
((Everything goes according to plan... xd ))
((Uh, Keilven, you're in the building with Takeshi and Agnese. The other guys are in a rather far-away location.))
((Also, beginning of the Universe's Appendix is up on Page 1 of the thread, towards the bottom (I cannibalized another of my posts for it). The whole makeup of the Council of 27 is now available for viewing, though the summary and universe notes sections are... incomplete. To say the least.))

((You don't have to miss them your first time up...
Also, you appear to be claiming to be taking a door from a room on the top story directly to the street.))

Paul stared in shock as the acolyte disappeared. "But he tried to kill Joe!" Paul shouted, probably futilely. "Gee. That can't be good," he commented. Melissa wouldn't see that coming, if that woman ever did follow up with her threat.
---
Fyrin nodded. "Right. Let's ditch, shall we?" he asked.
((Wait, Venom. The van blew up if you'll recall.))

When the two warlocks didn't respond to his cough, Keilven tried again.
"Um, hello? I know you two are warlocks, and I want to know if you would take me to the Cabal..." Keilven stuttered off on his last sentence, phrasing it more as a question, even though it was supposed to be a demand, as he realized the two still hadn't moved.

((Right, right. Van, Dodge Charger, whichever. *Edit edit*))
Takeshi spun around, grabbing Agnese and pulling them both to take cover behind the desk before he'd fully processed what Keilven had said.
"Wait, what?" he stood up slowly, pistol in hand. He scrutinized him. "Recognize the name Haru? Shimizu?"
--
"Let's," Renard agreed.
--
The rest of those at the freeway began to feel the approaching demons at the periphery of their magic senses.

((This is probably my last post, btw. Presuming things move at this rate, my absence shouldn't be too difficult to catch back up on. biggrin
Oh, and the drawing. I've finished Paul, Siber, and Joe, and thanks to my methods, I've thought very hard about drawing Agnese but I haven't started. I spend a lot of drawing time thinking very hard about drawing but not doing anything.))
Fyrin started the car again, backing it away from the destruction and turning it about. His second start was not quite so much burnt rubber, and a little more of limo driving. "Where can we hide and be safe?" Fyrin inquired of Renard. "And I know we were working almost cooperatively with those other Warlocks back there, but... since when was that happening? Were they actually friendlies, or just enemies of enemies?"
---
Paul was feeling cautious today.
"Hey, guys, let's go hide or something," he suggested as Athena's Chameleonic reformed. "Don't really wanna be around for whatever's about to happen," he finished, moving in the direction of the backed up highway. Many people had fled their cars, and so the process of clearing out the highway was slowed even more. In the close distance, however, there were sirens, which meant that emergency response forces were arriving. Paul found a car that was empty and still running, and cocked an eyebrow. A '93 Ford Taurus? Oh well. He wasn't making any getaways here, more of a clever trick. "Come on, guys!" he shouted, opening the driver's door and climbing in.

"Enemies of enemies," Renard answered unhesitatingly. Really, though, nobody likes the Sage-Djinni fighting. The Djinni are better manipulators, so I like them more, but they're both assholes, right? And that Sage was bringing too much attention to us. For now, I think we just need to be away from here."

Fyrin nodded and was silent for a time. The car rolled on down the highway, until Fyrin asked, "Say. What group exactly did they belong to?" he inquired. "Were they Cabal? They must've been..."

Renard shrugged. "Who else? The Cabal and their, y'know, sworn enemies are the only ones who use vanilla magic."

Agnese scowled at the intruder before blowing up.
"How the hell did you get into the building? You need a security pass to even get into this section! Who the hell are you?!"
<(Oh Mija, look how nice he was, pulling you to saftey!)>
(>Weren't you just cursing him out?<) She did notice that he'd been rather polite in pulling her behind the desk. The only family who'd have done that was a bodyguard or her uncle and his boyfriend. Both of whom were in Bermuda right now.
<(...No, that was Haru.)>

"You guys head out," Joe said, not taking his eyes off Sam. "I'll meet you at the airport as soon as I can."

Keilven looked at the pistol in the mans hand before responding.
"I climbed."
Keilven looked up at both of them.
"My names Keilven. And I was just trying to not get blown to little pieces by whatever was out there." He added coldly at their reaction to his presence.
"And the name Haru is familiar, but as for the other, no idea who it is."
