Fantasy The Random Hotel

Ezekiel finished his drink. He sighed out loud. The girl was apparently lost in thoughts. Perhaps for the better, she seems slightly distressed.. Oh well.. Ezekiel slowly stood up. "Ay, if anyone needs me.. I'll be making my way to the steam baths.."
Ezekiel mumbled more or less to himself. Ezekiel cracked his back and walked away from the restaurant. "Time dawns... Prometheus was punished by the gods for giving the gift of knowledge to man, He was cast into the bowels of Terra and pecked by the birds.. You walk... His path.." Ezekiel staggered for a moment. "I've told you I won. Now shut up!" Cryptic messages was the least of his worries.

Artemis went and sat next to Ezekiel. She had an agenda.


"You did promise me lessons with sigils, didn't you?"

 

[Dapper Bunny]

Ezekiel looked confused at Artemis for a few seconds then slapped his forehead. "Criminy, of course!" He smiled again. "Yeah I promised that. Of course I did. I guess with what happened recently had just distracted me." Ezekiel nodded slowly. "Teaching the mortals magic Seraphim? Forbidden arts? Hehehehe.... Teach her.. Let her learn dark arts.. " "Sigils are not dark arts! You w-" Ezekiel bit his tongue. "Right, my bad.. Painful headache. Shall we get started then?"

Painful headache, Artemis's pinky toe. Painful headaches didn't make you yell at yourself like you had schizophrenia (and Artemis should know, she'd had several really painful headaches). But she let it pass.


"Yes, we shall," she said.

 

[Dapper Bunny]

"Right then, is there anything specific you want to learn? Or just a general scratch of the surface? Maybe large sigils? That got to be outside though. Really I'm up for anything." Ezekiel stood up and stretched. With a quick movement he reached under his coat and pulled out a book, resembling the book he gave Artemis but of a different color and much more worn out. "Or maybe some wards and barriers?"

 

[ActionPony]

"Hmm. I know very little about sigils, so could you first fill me in on what they are and do, exactly?"

 

[Dapper Bunny]

"Oh, right. Well. You better get ready." Ezekiel walked out to the middle of the lobby. With a few movements he had already created a sigil out of fire in the air. "right this is a basis. They have many forms, the most standard is the pentagon, but you can make other forms too, all depending on what the effect you want." Ezekiel began dotting the five angles with runes. "What I am making now is the standard sigil, the runes mean different things and change the power and effect of the basis form. Such as the one I am doing right now. Will once I finish it off.. Make it a bit chilly for a few moments." Ezekiel studied the sigil and looked back at Artemis.


"Once finished it all depends on how you do it.. In this case since.. You do not have any magical blood? You'd have to activate the sigil manually. Which is the case of this basis, is just saying the words. Although the basis is advanced, considering.. " Ezekiel lifted a hand towards the blue flames, "It's magical." Ezekiel knelt down and made a similar form and runes on the ground.


"Now for a more basic basis form, like the one on the ground." Ezekiel placed a foot on the sigil and continued his lecture. "Is holding contact to it, unless it is a trapping sigil, which I will explain later. Now the second and last part for this is just uttering one word.. Or thinking the word. Doesn't matter which, once you've done so the rune will light up and in the blink of the eye the sigil will brighten and the effect will happen." Ezekiel removed his foot and the sigil disappeared into smoke.


"That is how easy it is.. Now considering that you are human.. Creating sigils is a longer procedure, and is not suitable for use in a fight, well unless someone distracts whatever you are fighting of course." Ezekiel snapped his fingers and the flame vanished. "Shall we continue to wards and barriers? Or do you have a question about the basis?" Ezekiel couldn't help but chuckle, it was as if he was back to teaching students again.

"Are there any sigils of revealing?"

 

[Dapper Bunny]

Ezekiel scratched his head. "What do you mean revealing? I mean you can make sigils that give vision. For an example on a wall then you can make it so you can see through it. There is also body runes, where one is revealing truth behind the persons intention.. Basically a working truth serum that just allows others to see their intention, if they have the corresponding rune on their body.. There is also the pair rune where two draw it and then with concentration will they be able to see what the other person sees.. Did you mean another sort of revealing?"

Sha'tana was unsure of Malcom's reaction. Did he believe that she drank blood or he took her sarcasm and assumed she was kidding? Well, I guess I will never know... Sha'tana sighed. "I'll meet you later," she said as she stood by the door. "I will bathe then change and you can continue your interrogation when we meet again," she smiled then waved a goodbye. Her smile quickly faded as she passed by the lobby. Why did her room have to be by the lobby? She would remember Hex walking on the walls and scaring off customers. She rubbed her hand down her face unhappily then massaged her temples. She needs to stop thinking about him. Did she really love him? Did he really love her? Apparently, it seemed not. Only after a week of admitting to each other's love, he disappeared, leaving her a mere shadow of a rose on her bed. Why would he do that? Her face cringed at the sight of the rose at the edge of her bed. It was unmovable. Which frustrated her even more. She knew Ezekial was good with spells and magic and whatever he does. She called his room number and left a voice-mail, "Hello Mr. Serafino. I have an unmovable object in my room that I wish to remove. I was hoping you can help me out with it. Well, you know where to find me." She hung up the phone and went to shower. She temporarily changed into her demon form. She has a funny feeling that Malcom is going to be around for a while. She might not be seen in her demon form outside of her room for as long as Malcom is ignorant.

Malcolm walked to the mens changing room. He took a quick shower, taking care to wash his greasy hair. He looked himself in the mirror. What an awful sight he thought to himself, true he had liven up a bit, but he was still looking deeply tired. Luckily, he only looked tired, he had been drinking a lot of coffee lately, so he was good on the energy part, as he was not used to drinking coffee casually. He dried his face with the towel, picked up his flask, and looked in the reflection from it.


When he had finally dressed back into a fresh, yet same-looking attire, he walked to his room, to put back his dirty clothes. He touched the device on the handle, and after some moments, he had taken it off, opened the door, closed it, and come out without his laundry, but now had a suitcase in his hand. He out the device back on the handle, and walked carefully down the stairs, trying to not trip as last time.


He looked around the lobby in order to find the restaurant, with no luck, and decided to wait a moment, as he was a fast changer, as he was used to be called out to cases in a rush, and he had stuck with that habit after he had been dismissed. Funny how old habits stuck to you, like the stench of smoke in a room, even after you have left a window open for 4 hours. Malcolm thought sitting at the stairs, looking at his shiny black suitcase, playing a bit with the handle.

She sighed when he skin went from bright red to her creamy peach. Sha'tana changed into a white halter top dress. She put on a grey knitted sweater to cover the skin she was showing too much of. Before stepping out of her room, she sneered at the shadowy rose that lingered on the edge of her bed. She spotted Malcom as she walked by the lobby, "Well, hello. Are you stalking me?" She looked at the black case he was fiddling with. Is he working now? She looked at his case with an arched brow.

Malcolm shifted his distant look to her, smiling a soft smile. "Depends on how you think of stalking. But either way, I am just lost. Had not used to much time to figure this place out yet." He said, putting his hands to his knees and pushed himself upwards. His eyes quickly studied her body, then flashed back up to her face. "Isn't that a bit formal for this occasion?" Malcolm said, still smiling, with a hint of a chuckle. He swung the suitcase slightly behind his back, and notioned to Sha'tana to lead the way.

Narissa was almost to the beach and her bare feet padded softly against the now bare ground. She was in a teal two piece that clung close to her body. The day's wind blew back her hair in a brunette flurry. The wind is strong today... She thought a bit concerned. She scowled her brow a bit. I hope Poseidon isn't too upset about what ever it is he's uptight about. The view of the sea came into view; the luminous rays of sunshine glistened against the water's surface. Breathless, Narissa walked up to the sea with excitement sliding her hand in the waves. She felt the power of the sea charging into her being. She could feel herself start to become one with the waves. Just like her mother she had begun to melt into the sea and join with it. It was a special ability possed by her aunts as well as her mom.She sighed deeply at the thought of her not being able to remember her mother clearly. She too was pounding against the sea shore. It felt good to be a part of the waters once more. It strengthened her core being. Just a few hours until i go back...

"Being able to see stuff you can't know with your senses, and I'm not talking about problems that can be solved simply by destroying the wall."

 

[Dapper Bunny]

"Hmmh.. Sigils are not really know for the psychological usage.." Ezekiel muttered. "I would believe there is one that allows you to peer into the world of the dead.. Seeing the past of other mortal beings.. And the true nature of those immortal or inhumane.. Although it is a darker path..."


Ezekiel pondered it. "Probably a few others? I mean.. That kind of sigils.. Isn't really what I've been working with, you know?"

Her brow was still arched, "This is casual." She looked at herself after he analyzed her swiftly. Maybe white sticks out too much... she thought as she pulled at her dress. She nodded her head as Malcom signaled for her to lead the way. She walked ahead of him. Robot 82 cocked her head toward Sha'tana as she approached. She sat herself at a table. "Any reason why you brought a case?"

Caspian saw a familiar girl on the beach, "Hey!" He called out as he approached her. Was she the water nymph that could answer his questions? "Hey," he said again, "... you remember me, Caspian?" He scratched the back of his head, "I called your room number the other day and you never answered." He chuckled lightly in an embarrassed manner. He didn't dare near the water. He didn't want to transform; he wasn't in the mood to. He crossed his arms as he looked at her swim about.

Malcolm sat down on the chair in front of her,putting the suitcase at his side. He smiled an almost undetectable smile, and patted the suitcase "This contains something I need your help with, Sha'tana. I will not tell you what, just yet, but when we have eaten, I will." Malcolm leaned a bit forward "I want you to understand, that I am not unaware of what is going on in this place, and certainly not your capabilities. Don't take this as a threat, I am merely wanting to help you and this place, but i know things about this place, like you, and what you really are." He leaned a bit back, and smiled a friendly smile to her, as if he had said nothing.


He picked up a menu, and looked it through, his eyes jumping from one dish to another. He eventually settled on what he wanted and put the menu down. "This place has a lot of interesting dishes. I think I will take the roasted veil with venom from the poison dart frog, with a side of backed potatoes. Are these dishes you have come up with?" Malcolm said with interest still in the menu, his eyes jumping to it now and then.

"What I'm thinking of involves demons. Corruption. That sort of thing." 


[QUOTE="Cuddly Kraken]Seven rolled her eyes. "A Vessel. A human who shares a body with a demon. Gives the human immortality and whatever abilities their demon has. Ringing any bells?"

"Not really, but I've seen a lot of things in the Hotel that I never thought existed before. And by the way, since you've told me that about yourself, I think I should tell you something about me. Look at this."


As she said that last sentence, Casey produced a ball of fire from her palm (what she's doing in her character picture).

 

[Dapper Bunny]

Ezekiel blinked confusingly a bit. "No, not that I know about. You can trap demons and angels. With sigils.. That is probably the best revealing power there is. I've... You know, have never had need to reveal the unnatural it's a innate power so I haven't studied on revealing sigils.. You could probably find something in the book. So yeah, the best 'revealing' is a trapping circle.. I'm sorry if that isn't what you wanted.. The book knows more than I do and it is magical.. You just need to focus on what you want from the book.. "


Ezekiel scratched his hair and suddenly jolted a bit. "Well! There is.. reveal shadow... It allows you to see the shadow of a person.. And some myths hold that evil hides in the shadow of man.. Could that be something akin to what you want?"

 

[Cuddly Kraken]

Seven raised a brow as this 'ever-so-graceful' girl conjured a ball of fire. Oooo, preeeetty... Can I eat it? Can you shut up for even a minute? Doubtful. Sorry baby cakes. You're stuck with me.


"Fantastic, you made fire," Seven drawled. She finally picked herself up off the floor and dusted off her pants. She began to walk to the bar. Hell, she needed a drink. Over her shoulder she called, "Careful, Phyra might bite your hand off for that."

Ezekiel stood still for a short while. "Right-o." He knelt down and began drawing on the floor. "Now, I'll show the trapping first.. " Ezekiel stood up and stared at the circle he made. "Right, trapping is very different than anything else. You can use many more materials. Salt.. .Anything burnable... Blood.." Ezekiel walked around the circle making a four runes at the cardinal points. "This is possible the simplest trapping circle. But they all work the same, trap things of unnatural powers.. Some work better against some, and there are other ways to actually trap specific targets.. Say a poltergeist.. But this should trap anyting "mortal" bound.. Me for an example.. Although I always make sure to inscribe one of the runes to avoid trapping myself.. If you were to use a trapping circle.. Your runes would be Yjo, Kez, Oit and Kuh. All of these works with communication and holding. Sort of doing an interrogation."


Ezekiel thought for a moment again before continuing. "Now revealing the truth of someone through the shadows... It's dangerous... What you are doing is basically seeing another world. I don't know what it's really called but I call it Dusk. It's the world of the s'till living dead and darkness.' Think it as this way... You can use it without worry in the start.. But." Ezekiel stopped himself, back in thoughts. He sighed and continued. "But the more you do it.. The more you reveal yourself.. First you see them.. Then you would be able to hear them.. Finally you would be able to touch them.. But.." Ezekiels expression turned grim. "They will be able to do the same.. And these things... They want to live... And they'll do anything.." Ezekiel turned to look at Artemis.. "I can teach you.. But it will be later, by the night and outside.. We do not want others to see what is going on.. Because it is like a disease.. It festers and continues to grow even when you don't use it.. It's.. A oath basically.. You take.. Knowingly that something that I am afraid of.. Will try and take your place."

Sha'tana looked at Malcom curiously. She nodded her head every now and then, acknowledging each sentence he spoke. I was joking about the interrogation... she laughed awkwardly in her head. Well, Sha'tana certainly couldn't wait to find out what kind of information he needed from her. She paused as Malcom spoke knowingly of her second form. Her eyes widened a bit and she nodded her head a bit more slowly now. "Well, then," she started off, "I suppose wouldn't mind seeing me in my other form." Her creamy light skin melted into a bright red. "Being in my human form is suffocating at times," she admitted with a quick laugh. She waved for her robot maid to come over, "The usual and order 32 for Sir McGregger." The robot bowed in dismissal and Sha'tana returned to Malcom's eyes. "I have done research on all the general foods for all races. They're not all visibly available on the menu for obvious reasons..."

"Of course." Malcolm said with a small nod. He saw her change into her second form with curious eyes. "Most interesting procedure. Got to admit, not something i see every day." Malcolm said with a curious voice.


He pushed his suitcase between his legs, and leans back. "So, Miss Sha'tana, when did you start this place. I can't remember hearing about this in newspapers, nor in the police records, back when i worked at he station." He had looked around the room for some moments, taking in the sights in the room, when the robot maid cam with the plate of food. "Ah thanks, looks tasty." Malcolm said, accepting the food.

Artemis was now a bit unsure about the seeing thing, so she pressed the question on the runes while she argued internally on the seeing. "How am I supposed to pronounce those runes?"
