Jacob turned to the man, "Warlock?" he asked, suddenly confused.
Okay, what does he mean by warlock?
Jacob sighed, Fine, I'll just ask Joe.
"What do you mean warlock?" he asked.

Joe nodded graciously and held out his sunglasses too. "If you absolutely must have eyewear," he said with a grin. "I'd recommend losing teh broken specs, at the least."
He saw Jacob and smiled. "Haven't changed at all," he said, grabbing him in a rough one-arm hug.
((Currently, Joe is wearing fitted jeans, a black turtleneck, and a loose tie. Just so everyone knows.))

Jacob returned the one-arm hug, still distraught, "Wish I could say the same for you." he said, smiling before turning serious again, "What does he mean "warlock"" he asked again.

"'Warlock'? Seriously? Joe, I figured... oh, nevermind, I'll do it. I'm guessing based on your behavior that you're hearing a voice in your head that has a name and tells you you can use magic. You can. Have fun with it. Ask your warlock who he is and what disciplines he was proficient with. Believe what he tells you for now, he is you and he can't exactly hide much from you." Paul took the sunglasses, begrudgingly took off his own glasses and replaced them with the sunglasses. "This'll do for now..." he muttered.

Joe shrugged as Paul explained. "Hey, I never had a chance to tell him. I was planning on filling him in on the way, but if you wouldn't mind, you guys could get to know each other. Yeah, that's a good idea."
With a smile, Joe picked up his bag. He stopped. "Oh, and Paul, you look pretty badass right now." They set off for the gate they were taking off from.

Jacob nodded at the explanation and sighed, "Alright, just give me a second." he said, now focusing on asking Ohanzee the questions he was told to.
I find this hard to believe, but what the Hell, if it's not just me, I might as well give it a shot. he thought, Alright, Ohanzee, what disciplines were you proficient in during your time in...what was it again? The Cabal?
Shadow and elementalist, eh? Alright...I'm pretty sure what an elementalist is, but clarify for me what shadow is, please.
Makes sense...
"Alright, my warlock's name is Ohanzee, and he says that he was proficient in shadow and elementalist." he told the two, following them through the gate.

((Yeah, I froze the DNA. Should have put it in the fridge instead of the freezer... stupid stuff wasn't replicating properly anyway. Research, not regular lab.))
Siber followed the rest into the airport, still aware of the Dreamshell in a strange, diffracted sort of way. Interesting. So there aren't going to be any moral qualms about killing them; that makes things that much simpler for me. Is there any aid you'd be willing to bequeath to me? There's one Ghoster somewhere here that Keldan managed to sense before it dropped off our radars. As a dæmoniac, I'm especially concerned.
He split consciousness again, more effectively this time, given his calmer state of mind. "Jacob? Nice to meet you. I'm Siber." He offered his hand in greeting, realized it was still full of gummy treats, and did a double-take, almost spilling some as he switched which hand held them. "Glad you could join us; have you been debriefed on what we're up to yet?" He stored away the name Ohanzee, as Keldan was having a hard time remembering it, and walked with them.

((Smooth move, Ex-Lax. xp ))
Joe led the way as he listened to the conversations. "Shadow?" he looked over his shoulder. "I don't know much about that, but this is elementalism." With a grin, he held up a finger, and a tiny spark popped out. It balanced on the tip of his finger before shooting at Jacob's face, breaking apart into a flurry and disappearing just before it hit.

Before we may aid you, you must know yourself better than you presently do. For now, we can merely advise and strengthen or weaken impulses in a manner that will be favorable to you. We would advise caution in deployment of your demons any time you don't know where he absolutely must be. The element of the Dreamshell went silent for a moment. Also, we can possibly locate sentient beings you need to find.

((EDITED))
Understood. I've been keeping them close by, but thank you for the warning. And thank you for any information on his location you can give me; I think that with the combination of your supernatural abilities and my connection to the real, this alliance will be profitable to both of us.
"Low profile," Siber mumbled. "Please," he looked around the airport, "don't draw any more attention than Paul." The last part of the sentence was said with a joking smirk in Paul's tattered direction, but he honestly didn't want to attract attention, regardless of how indifferent the guards appeared to be to obviously-armed and dangerous customers.

((Sounds interesting 3nodding ))
Jacob looked at Siber and nodded, reaching for the hand before realizing that it was full of gummy snacks, Ooh Jacob thought, a sudden hunger growing in his stomach. He ignored it for now and took Siber's hand, "Nice to meet you too, Siber." he said, putting on a smile, "And no, I haven't been debriefed."
With that, he turned to Joe as he spoke. He flinched as the spark flew towards his face and dissipated before him, Okay, I admit, that's hard not to believe...
Says you.
"That's pretty damn cool, how can I do that?" he asked.

"This is what you'll learn in Shadow," Paul said from Jacob's right. Paul, however, was now four Pauls, two on his right and two on his left. They all acted very casually about it, and thanks to the sunglasses it remained possible if improbable that they were all different people. After a moment, the three ShadowPauls joined together with the real thing and Paul smiled pleasantly. "Like it?" he asked.
((Nice, Siber, Nice.))

Joe stopped and turned, his back hunching. "Focus, the Padawan must have," he said in a distubingly good Yoda impression. He laughed. "Nah, but seriously, you need to have a lot of focus." He glanced around. "Umm. I dunno if this is true, but I think I'm the best elementalist here, right?" He looked around. "I don't want to sound stuck up. But I can teach you the basics, if you want."

Jacob let out a whistle for Paul's demonstration, "I like it, I really do." he said, smiling at the possibilities. He turned to Joe and chuckled at his impression, "Focus, got plenty of that." he said, considering Joe's offer to teach him.
What do you think, Ohanzee?
Okay.
"Sure, that would be great." Jacob said, accepting Joe's offer.

Joe nodded. "All right, after we land I can teach you the basic moves, unless anyone has any objections?"
