The Souls of Salem [WoD]

All this information rushed through Auroras' head, making it whirl. 'Cults? Dead ex-girlfriends? Girls in armor? What the hell is going on here?' She thought, the distress was completely evident on here face and in her posture. She was angry, scared, and for the most part lost for as what to do. She wanted to yell at the man, Zarred, for kidnapping her. At the same time she felt a little sorry for him. He was seriously hung up on his dead ex, which was not good. Her job was normally to help with this sort of thing, but now wasn't the time. Besides after what he had done, she wasn't sure she would want to, no matter how much of a bleeding heart she had.


"Rude comment aside, how about you don't and instead tell your boo about this cult leader." She said to the ghost. "He needs the info, you have it. If you give it to him, he will be safe from this dangerous chick, right? He can leave, I can go home, win win." She glanced over at the other person in the room, really confused as to her part in all of this. "I'd be better if I wasn't here, but hey vacation time right?" Sarcasm was thick in the statement.

Floras sighs. "Alright alright its not like im going to tell you to banish her or something dear, i just dont want us to attract too much attention." Flora looked towards Cece. "Dont worry miss were not a couple, im just working with him right now.." Flora then turns to Aurora sighing. "Sorry dear it look like were all on the same boat." Flora says smiling toward the other girl. "All we know is that they have some plan to use you and other mediums and were just trying to get to the bottom, dont worry though, you and Zarreds safety is my top priority... though i would prefer not to fight.." Flora says rubbing her right arm. She did have Kukri and knew she had more than enough force to seriously hurt someone or even kill them if it came to it, but she preferred a non violent solution. "Are you doing ok though?" Flora questions Aurora.
 
Cecelia shrugs. "Well that's the downside of becoming stronger, you become noticed." She explains. "I was bound to something in the leader's room. I'm not sre what they did, but now i patrol for anything out of the ordinary and report it to a higher up... I can feel myself getting ppulled... it wants me to leave right now and go tell her what's going on. It hurts, like a chain in your chest being pulled on."


She looks to the woman. "Don't presume you can just order me around just because you're ightly special enough to see me without aid." She says. "But you're right, i should help him... though I don't know what I can say without crossing the compulsion. Ask me a question and I'll try to explain as best as i can."


Looking to the woman. "Dear? The two of you are dating now? Why am i not surprised"


@DARK7 @ Novapheonix @Mistress Iris
 
"..I think so." She replies, surprised to see him grabbing the torture knives. He didn't seem the type to put up much of a fight, but then again.. He did capture the target flawlessly.. Her hands gripped the hilt of her sword, sheathing it by her side and closing the door to the car. She locked it, and beckoned for Trent to follow her into the building. If he hadn't lied, he should still be with their previous target. If she had awoken, things might get a bit more complicated, but everything should run smoothly. She placed her hand on the handle to the door, stopping for a moment and attempting to listen to what was going on inside. During this time, she also cast a questioning look to Trent, as if to ask if he was ready.
 
"I won't let you leave!" Zarred screamed out, holding out his hand to grasp her chain. Mana flowing through his body, black energy crackled as he magically gripped the chain 'round her and whipped it toward himself, ripping the chain towards one of the pins stuck in his jacket.


"Digitis mortis, finem catenam. I am Klab, and in the name of Stygia, I return you to my care. Your name is Cecilia, I call you Cece. I release you from your bonds here and bring you into a bond with my pin!"


He pulled the chain into the pin, locking it in place with an invisible magical crackle that flicked with black darkness. "There, that should do it." He finished his loud vocalization with a sigh, seeming a bit tired afterwards. He figured it was too late to hide, everyone in the hallway probably already heard him. He patted the pin that had a black heart symbol on it, that now had an invisible chain extending from it towards his girlfriend. She allowed her more freedom, really only letting the chain touch part of her finger and wrap around it as if it was a ring. Was it some sort of wedding metaphor? Whatever, he knew that this wouldn't last forever. It was good enough for now, at least.
 
Ceceila felt a sudden sensation... then the pulling on her chest vanished. "oh... that's much better." She says, clearly pleased to no longer be having that issue of being tugged, and her mood seemed to have improved a lot more. "Thank you Zarred, I feel a lot better now. My mind is a lot clearer now as well." She says. "Ask what you will, i definitely didn't want to have to leave after seeing you again so soon. It's so odd.... anyway, what are you even doing here? This isn't usually your type of place." @NovaPheonix
 
Flora sighs seeing Zarred cry out. "Do what ever you please then just leave me out of it , i'm going to hand in my reports about the injured personnel, please don't do anything stupid while i'm gone that might harm my patients..." She was done trying to reason with the two not to mention how she had planned to deliver the reports before the 2 had even entered her office. Flora went over to her desk where she picked up her written reports about the injured personnel's and how she had treated them, once she had them i hand she made her way toward the door and opened it. She was surprised to see Danielle in her armor and Trent equipped with what appeared to be some type of knife. Floras eyes widened as she took in the view. "W-well hello there Danielle,Trent." Flora nodded to each of them. "Do you need my helps dear?" Flora asked Danielle with her being so close to her, she hadn't expected the other girl to be on the other side of the door. "I'm just on my way to deliver my reports to the head's office so unless its urgent i really must be going along."
 
"I need to gather information here." He muttered under his breath to his girlfriend. He peeked out the door and saw the others about to come in, silencing himself. He decided to ask her questions later, but now that Zarred saw the two in the hallway...it would have to wait. He stood in the middle of the room and waited to see what would happen from here before making another move.
 
Cecila clammed up. She wasn't sure if she could be hear ed, but doubtless things weren't going in Zarreds way after all.


Trent looked at Fiora. "Hey there little miss, just came to talk with the newbie a bit. Go ahead and get those to the boss, I'm sure she's intrested in them." He says, allowing her to pass. After all, to Trent, Fiora was a noncombatant, an ally of the cult. There was no need to keep such a poor girl here. TO the man, he gave a wave. "We want to get to that mission overview now. We got a lot of work to do, after all." He says.


Looking to thenew woman, he waves. "Yo! Sorry, I have to steal your kidnapper for a bit. I'm sure you won't mind."
 
Danielle starred at the nurse with a shocked expression. ..Wasn't she supposed to be the one surprising them? Luckily for her, Trent easily covered for them. She quickly calmed herself, taking a step out of the nurse's way and allowing her to pass; but not before peering in and examining their target from before. As far as Danielle was aware 'Aurora' had never actually seen her; or at least identified her as an enemy. ..At least she seemed to be recovering well. Her skin rubbed against the steel of her armor somewhat uncomfortably, but she did her best to shake the feeling and appear composed as she stood by the side and allowed Trent to take the lead. After all, why ask for attention you don't want?
 
Flora looked to Trent with worry in her eyes, they were armed but they wouldn't hurt anyone for no reason would they? Flora sighed. "Alright dear you had me worried for a second, since you both look like your hunting down a monster or something!" Flora said jokingly, giggling a bit. She smiled at Trent. "Your right dear i should probably go ahead and get these to the leader now." Flora began to walk off down the hall to deliver her reports, deciding to think of what type of music she should listen to when she got back.

'The goth is obsessed over a dead girl, said dead girl has a personality of a cactus, Doc seems to be in her own carefree world, and now a cheesy mafia type and a woman in medieval knight attire seem to have a bone to pick with the goth. What the hell has my life turned into?!' Aurora didn't know what to think at this point. This was all WAY too crazy, and that was saying something considering she could talk to the dead. When the Mr. Mafia spoke to her, she just blinked, unsure if she was actually supposed to respond. After a moment of glancing between the four beings in the room, she opened her mouth then shut it. 'I need to protect myself till I can find a way out. If I lay low and play obedient, I might be okay.' She looked down at the ground, shaking her head side to side before laying back down on the bed, back facing the intruders.
 



  • "That's a sport!" He says, watching the girl lay down, back facing them. Trent would make a note of that: the woman was being cooperative, so he could potentially put in a good word with the boss and get her an extra nice reward. But...that would come later. "So, we wanted to ask you about something." Trent asked, sitting down in a chair, looking at him. His hand went to the phone, and he turned it on, releasing the recording. "Someone's been a very bad boy, haven't they? Do you want to explain why a kindred was spewin stuff like this? Or, for the record... why you have a ghost right there? Actually, either of you can anwser that."


    Cecilia turns, pausing and remaining silent. She whispers to Zarred. "you need to leave... now." She says.


    @NovaPheonix


 
Flora looked around the room, it was breathe taking seeing all the various decor around her. “It looks amazing…” Flora says breathless, looking around the whole room turning full circle. She then turns to the woman hearing her words now walking toward her. “Oh sorry I couldn’t help but admire your room, it’s quite brilliant.” As she approached the woman she could tell in a sense she wasn’t human, but didn’t really mind, growing up in a bad neighborhood as a child things like that didn’t faze her. “Hmm I don’t believe we have met, my name is Flora, the nurse.” Flora said happily, smiling at the woman in a cheerful fashion. Flora handed over the reports, then held out her own hand in a greeting. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, I’ve heard so many great things about you since I arrived.”
 
"She just came in here, I dunno, there are ghosts all over the place." He didn't bother hiding the fact that he wasn't telling the truth at this point. With his other hand he beckoned Aurora over to him. He looked over at CeCe, telling her, "Lemme know why you decided to manifest again?" He asked as both a question to her and an answer to treant. When she didn't move right away, Zarred walked over to the bed and took her hand. Her fingers felt warm along his, and he gripped them tightly. "We're leaving, but it's going to take me a few minutes...stall for me. Pretend you called her here at least." he whispered to her and then shouted out towards Trent and looking at Aurora as well "Hey, did you do this?!"

  • "I don't know, i thought it would be more dramatic." Ceceila said with a slight shrug. Hearing what Zarred said she nods. "I felt a prescense that understood me, so i wanted to say hello."


    Trent sighs. "You know you aren't supposed to do that. The boss would kill me if she found out you were randomly talking to other people without permission."


    "So sorry." Ceceila said with an innocent laugh."YOu better friggin hurry Zarred..." She whispers" @DARK7

This.. Wasn't what they came to see. A ghost? What..? She thought she saw his lips move for a moment, speaking to the ghost. ..But she wasn't too sure. "..Right, now the ghost can return to wherever she was; we've got some.. Questions about your abilities, Zarred." Danielle positioned herself in the door frame, preventing exit in case he decided to run. The other girl seemed obedient enough, which was a relief. ..Hopefully they wouldn't need to call their medic back in. Her sword hung by her side as she crossed her arms, giving the ghost a questioning look. She didn't even know ghosts were in their cult, much less able to speak to people. ..Not that it mattered. Trent knew who the ghost was anyways.

Flora took a seat across from Mariah happily. She had been cooped up in the infirmary for weeks and was quite sick of it. “Thank you Mariah, it’s been a while since I could actually sit down a chat with someone, the tea smells great.” Flora relaxes getting comfortable in the chair, she picked up the tea Mariah had poured for her taking a sip. “Thank you, My life here has been alright, it does get a bit lonely in the infirmary since I can’t talk to the patients much but I enjoy my work here.” Cynthia smiles at the woman. "Other than that its been rather nice, everybody’s been rather nice to me, oh I’m sorry is it ok to call you by your name?” Flora asks, she’s a bit worried she may have upset her, she was the leader of the cult after, she didn’t know if she demanded any title or anything since it was their first meeting.
 
"Mariah is fine." She says, smiling and waving off the question as if it was no big deal. "Most call me Ms. Cross... Daniell even calls me far more. I don't mind it but such formalness can often get one lonely." She says, taking a small sip of the stuff as well. "It's actually a relief, I rather like that. I'm sorry to hear you've been lonely, I can relate. Understand that i only do stuff like that with strict need. It wouldn't be much of a cult otherwise, would it? Once my research is complete anyone wanting to be released will... though i fear that is still some time away... though thanks to your reports, i might be a step closer. I'll be reading your diagnosis and treatments with great interest."


"Hmmm you deserve a reward, i think." She asked, looing at you. "Is there perhaps a trinket or somethign you left at h ome? I can have someone go get it or mke a payment on your rent. I don't mind doing like that." She offers. It's clear she's quite pleased, and perhaps excied even about the information you've brought her.
 
Flora sipped her tea listening to Mariah with great interest. “I’m sorry to hear you get lonely as well but if you ever want to talk I’m usually free I’m a bit of a social butterfly myself.” Flora said jokingly smiling at Mariah. “There’s not much to do in the infirmary, I usually just listen to music and the like but if I may, what is your goal? I’m a bit curious, the way you talk about it sounds like you care a great deal about…” Flora asked a bit curiously, intrigued about the woman’s goal and what they had to do with her patients.


Flora flushed when Mariah mentioned a reward, particularly about something from “Home”. She blushed looking away in embarrassment. “That’s alright Mariah… it’s not like anything like that is even possible.” Flora turned away a bit embarrassed. “You see I don’t really have a home, I grew up in an orphanage since my parents died when I was about the age of 10…” A said expression crossed her face as she remembered how quickly she was shuffled off away from the crime scene that day.
 
"Ah, that's awfully polite of you." Mariah says with a slight smile. "I might tke you on that. As for my research. Well... hmmmm I don't know much i should share but... I'm researching ghosts. Ghosts, spirits, anything to do with the spirits that lie in the veil beyond." She says. "I know they exist, and , well, they aren't doing the living any good with them in existance, so im see if we can use them to our benefit. Imagine if we could turn spiritual residue into enrgy or grant us more abilities... why, everyone could be so much easier, don't you agree? The two i sent you were attempting a forced possession. That is ,summoning a spirit into them. The backlash caused some vast injuries, which is why i sent them to you. Im curious to see if theres anything interesting in your reports. Anything is helpful at this rate.


Her face seemed to soften. "I see... that's terrible." She says. "I can't say i know how that feels but it's a tragedy nonetheless. I think as your reward i'll try to make this place more hospitial to you then. Perhaps a private room or clothing?" She offers.
 
Floras eyes widened in surprise. “Oh Mariah! What you’re suggesting sounds amazing!” Flora exclaimed. “It’s like finding an alternate fuel source besides fossil fuels that sounds safe at least...” Flora then remembered the wounds the 2 men had. “Well maybe it will require more research after the injuries I treated, but it seems like a good cause” Flora commented smiling, taking another sip of her tea. “I’m all for helping the living, though my standing on ghosts is mixed…”


Flora smiled at Mariah’s offer. “You would do that for me? Thank you!” Flora exclaimed excitedly. She almost went over to hug the woman out of joy but held herself back realizing she was in fact talking to the head of the cult. “I would really appreciate it, it would make life working here much easier.” Flora said giving the woman a wide smile, her previous sad thoughts pushed away by the woman’s kindness.
 
"Yes, I'm afraid my research is quite low, and i can't exactly get government sanction on these type of experiments, thus the cult. People can tell me i'm...quite charismatic." She says, her red lips curling up into a slight smile again. "It's not exactly legal, but i'm willing to break a few hundred laws in the name of science."


"I'll get right to having your room set up." She promises. Reaching over to a speaker, she hits a button. "Charlene, prepare a room on the second level." She says, hanging up and turning back to her with a smile. "You can move in within an hour, Charelene usually does good work." She says. "It's private, no camera or anything so do...whatever it is you want." She says. "Since you don't have a home, i hope you come to consider this place a home of sorts. I'll certinaly think of you as family if you you do as well." She says
 
“Hmm I see… legal formalities might be a problem, but I wish you the best of luck.” Floras features began to soften, her eyes getting a little teary at the woman’s words. A home? A family? These were things that she hadn’t had for the past 11 years. She was nearly speechless at the woman’s offer. Life had not optimal after her parents had died, since she had killed the man in self-defense they hadn’t put her in the best orphanage, simply labeling her as “dangerous”. The only friend she had was Vera, and look what she had gotten her into, a damn cult where she was cooped up in most of the time. Flora almost lunged at the woman to hug her. “Th-thank you… No one has ever treated me so nicely like this in a long time… thank you…” Flora sobs slightly, a few years rolling down her cheeks as she hugged Mariah.
 
"There's no need to thank me." She says, blinking as the woman hugged her. Her eyes close and she pets the woman's hair. "Now now, everyone deserves a little bit of kindess, even if it is late in their lives, or not poessing of anything of the sort. I promise that as long as you mean us no harm, I will welcome you as a sibling. Someone of your personality, skill, ability, you could go far." She says with a smile,


Looking over, she examines her, smiling. "I'm sure you want to get your new room ready. I do so hope you'll continue to try your best!"
