[WoD] Heart of the Mountain

Ahnoah checked the other compact members. Then he checked a request board for jobs. He looked at it, but nothing seemed appealing. "Man, if only someone had a quick one shot mission. Then I would be good to go." He seemed a bit low on money now. Having only a small amount of around everything. Bullets, rations, water. You name it. Though he went by the two dogs and looked at them just a bit. "hey! Are these dogs taken by anyone or just owned by the compact?"

Johnny met her eyes and said. "Well show me and everyone else who came here the way out of this realm and back to our own and I'd gladly leave. But till then I have a job to do, since you are paying me for this interview. And since you'd agree to a peaceful interview as long as we don't lie. if you harm me you'd be breaking your word, and that sounds a hell of a lot ruder than me calling you your god damn name 'Princess'. So either lead us out or deal with my rudeness. Your choice."

The girl with the blue and purple hair had been in a perpetual state of terror. These horrid creatures were bringing her to the threshold of an unholy terror. And these morons where GOING RIGHT IN! What the hell was wrong with these people? I mean, obviously the dude decked out in all black was in his own little world, but at least he had the sense to not step right up to a living deity! She stood there before the Princess's home with the tall white haired man at the side. He had resolved himself to sit cross-legged on the grass, looking quite deep in thought. She reflected upon her situation.


"FUUUUUUUUUCK! FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCKITTY FUUUUCK!"


She was kicking the grass and blurting half-slurred obscenities in rage. From bad to worse! Birds of prey to no alternative but to pray. Not that it would help, but it seemed to provide comfort to those who believed in gods. She wasn't sure about that, all she knew was that if there was a god, she was damning him to the void and back.


Tired, she eventually hung her head, crossed her arms over her fairly endowed chest, and harrumphed, then sighed. She struck out one last time at the ground and then looked down at the man on the ground. "Well, buddy, looks like you're coming with me, because if i'm gonna leave this place for the other side, I want someone with me just so I have something tangible to blame when everything inevitably goes to shit." He didn't seem to register any of this. "Alright. Even if I have to pull you through the gumdrop jungle you're probably wondering through in that strange head of yours, I will."

    "If you want to understand my powers better, you should wake up...I already starting making breakfast and the girls stayed up all night reading. They looked like zombies when I went to get them, shame." Alice disappeared, leaving Johnny alone in his own dream before he woke up in a comfy bedroom that almost resembled a miniature cabin. There were no windows or doors and it was simply a wooden box with a King-Sized bed and some chests to hold things in that led directly into a hallway towards a dining room. It was bright, but there was no light coming inside, as if the whole place was covered in a bloom filter. The floors were cold tile outside of the bedroom and looked almost like a mosaic variant of chess squares in various colors rather than monochrome. The walls of the hallways were not rectangular or in right angles, they were circular, almost like the house was curved or warped. It smelled like fresh eggs in the dining room, the allure of fresh cooked breakfast awaited the man who believed that he had been awake during the interview.


    Alice walked into the library after opening the door quietly to ask what the half-asleep Caeda would like to eat, noticing she had books piled next to her atop a reading desk "Smart girl, but you're studying a bit too hard..." she warned her, sounding very motherly.

Interlude: Her Special Place...

​




Footsteps echoed, soft against aged stone tiles. Meila found herself walking through the dark, decrepit halls of a place familiar to her... The silence and darkness of the halls was unnatural, no light and no sound, just her soft, timid footsteps. She closes her eyes and breathes deeply, before opening them once more... The aged cobblestone tiles were now bathed in an eerie, blood-red glow and at the far end of the hall, two eyes glared back at her... big and large... Oblique crimson eyes with slit-like pupils, black like obsidian and as cold as the darkest night.


She stood motionless; the eyes beckoning her to come forth and yet, her body would not move, gripped with an intense fear, primal in nature, telling her that she should run and yet, her feet then started to move of their own accord... Drawing her closer toward something that she feared deep down and she could not stop herself.


Meila closed her eyes tightly as her feet carried her onwards... To her destiny? To her doom? Who could say? She had resigned herself to whatever fate had in store for her and opened her eyes once more. Phantasms of fire swirled around her feet and danced into the air as she continued to walk and watched as they spiralled down the hall and erupted into a fiery vortex between her and the crimson eyes. Without fear or conviction, Meila calmly stepped through the vortex, smiling happily as she emerged from the other side in another room.


This room was cold and dark, though in the corner burnt a single, solitary candle; its wax black and shiny as it dripped onto a simple blackened table, charred and worn from years of neglect, holding a small black tome, bound in black scales and adorned with a piercing Draconic eye at its centre. Next to the table was an old ratty mattress on the floor, dirty and stained, with a grey woollen blanket half draped onto the floor and an old pillow pried up against the wall.


She approached the bed and crawled down onto it, propping herself up against the wall with the pillow behind her back. With a content sigh, Meila reached out and caressed the tome obsessively whilst gazing across at the wall opposite her. Against this wall was a full-length mirror, reflecting back the darkness of the room and the small glow of the candle flame, but inside it, instead of her own reflection, a small girl stood, looking back at her, dressed identically though the clothes tailored for her small size.


The girl giggled and offered Meila a small curtsy and Meila smiled at the girl in reply, giggling as she left the tome and crawled from the mattress, across the floor towards the mirror. The girl in the mirror gave a quizzical look as she continued to watch Meila, who had crawled right up to the mirror and knelt before her. Levelling herself with the girl's face, she leaned in and kissed the cold mirror; as this happened, the girl vanished and the mirror rippled, becoming a liquid silver which Meila pushed through face first, effortless... disappearing through it before its reflective surface returned to normal...


Meila found herself falling in complete darkness; it wasn't a frightful plunge, but more a floating sensation. The phantasms of fire returned and danced around her, offering her light and comfort as she continued to float downwards. She watched in awe, the dancing embers... little orange-gold fairies performing pirouettes, their tiny wings beating and flickering as they twirled through the air. She looked around and saw no less than five of these fairies as they swarmed around her and guided her on her descent through the darkness towards a powder-blue light, pulsing and resonating in the deepest dark of the abyss.


Meila's feet gently touched down on unseen footing and she stared confused at the floating blue sphere of light, ten meters or so from her. It pulsed softly and seemed to be dripping away tiny orbs of itself into the darkness, almost as though it were shedding tears. The fairies danced over and encircled the sphere, beckoning Meila to join them; and as she approached the sphere, the light it was radiating started to shine even brighter and filled her with a sense of warmth and familiarity... And as she took in the sight before her, her vision began to fade and she blacked out, as she slowly began to stir from her slumber.

[session 2, Scene 4: Realization]

"Wait...just...a...moment..." The doctor was sitting cross-legged before an abode. He had followed the merry band and their extraordinary wolf men to a house, and would have entered but he began thinking intently. It didn't add up... there was fierce lucidity, but continuity as well...Meaning that the hallucinations were constant. But that's impossible outside of long-standing psychosis.


He remained frozen in a thoughtful state as he thought to himself at lightning speed: This can't be a hallucination. The LSD was surely active, but it was not the only cause. But the mirror... That's how all this started...


The chemical! Those unknown particles must have been in an entanglement state! They were actively connected to atomic particles within a parallel dimension! Somehow, the particles began attracting and brought the two membranous dimensions together, with the mirror as a bridge. That must be why everything is so strange: this world adheres to a completely different set of physical and mathematical laws. Spectacular! So much to learn!


The doctor slowly showed signs of life, smiling madly to himself. He looked up at the girl standing next to him. He would have taken greater note of her beauty if not for his currently manic state. Instead he decided to try to express just how gleeful he was.


"Hello! Nice to meet you!" He sprung to his feet and did a quick bow before extending his hand and saying "I am Doctor Robert Alistair. You may call me Dr. Robert! I'm not sure what your name is, but I'm sure it's as elegant as you are!" His mania was hinging on anxiety and so he quickly composed himself and said "Though if you choose not to share it, I fully understand, you have no reason to trust me, and therefore I respect your rights to full confidentiality." He looked at her perplexed expression and said with a nervous grin "But anyway, how are you? I am absolutely THRILLED to be visiting such an interesting...country..." For all he knew this world had no concept of nations, laws territories, dominions, or anything of the like. Best to go with geography for now. No way he was going to try to explain what was really going on. Even he wasn't sure how to call it.


Just... WOW!

Caeda was, indeed, half asleep, having spent all night looking for the way out.. or something, anything that she could possibly use. She had found no way to escape this mess yet... it was starting to frustrate her, make her want to have just kept that criminal in a jail cell and let people follow it up... but no, that wasn't right... and damn it, her night had gotten ruined by this mess!


She looked up, the Princess appearing in front of her... when had she come in? She half wanted to snap at her and make her go away, but she knew that was probably the dumbest thing, she could have done. "Sorry about the mess." She says. "I'll put everything back where they're supposed to be. Um... I don't mind what to eat, so i'll go with whatever you would enjoy. I'm always willing to try new things."

"Not that many people left, huh... I could go to sleep, though I need money. I could gamble, but I could lose money. But, it does seem like the only option..." He was talking to himself. He tends to do that alot. He took some time to think about what he was going to choose. 'I guess it isn't all that bad, I mean I could a couple of times and still be fine..." He made up his mind. He was going to the casino, though left a weapon in a vault like locker
 
Johnny looked around the room checking to see if he had everything on him. "Fucking hell, where the fuck am I." He did not like waking up in strange places where he seemed to be trapped. Taking an inventory of all that happened, he needed to find a way out of here. He got up and looked through the chests first of all, I mean it's a chest. He could find some sweet loot in there, and it was something to keep his mind off of him being is what appeared to be solitary confinement. He could smell the eggs and rolled his eyes. "Right, like hell I'm going to eat that, I know your game, as soon as I eat something I'd not want to leave or some shit. Drug me once shame on you, drug me twice shame on me." He said though he was moments ago just in an interview room. He hoped his still had his notes, he'd be pissed off if he went though that for nothing. Not to mention Julia would kill him for going through all this without a story, she might kill him anyway.

"Would you be willing to try kissing a girl?" the Princess giggled, Johnny could see her down the hallway, wearing a multicolored apron that looked more like an artist's smock with paint splatted all over it. She brought a plate into the library, holding it up with one hand as she danced into the room with enthusiasm.


The plate itself looked like a fairly normal breakfast at first, with a few oddities. Two scrambled green eggs, a slice of toast with bright purple jam, and a glass of orange-colored juice. The green eggs were slightly off putting, but Caeda would guess that if she denied them that the Princess would simply insist that she try them anyway.


Johnny, who was too afraid of Eating Lotuses, examined the room and realized that while his clothes and hat and ect. were in the chest that his weapons and necklace had been removed (probably while he was asleep) along with the silver flask containing the truth serum. Terrance's phone was also gone, one of the only pieces of evidence he had left after he realized all the notes he took were only in his imagination. The strange thing about the dream experience was that after waking up, Johnny would still remember it vividly upon reflection, closer to an actual memory as if he really was sitting in the false 'Interview' room. He also felt very refreshed, the strong sleep did wonders for his aching body and he felt like his ribs were healed for the most part, though they still stung in his side a bit.


On the other hand, he did find a stack of bills that totaled out to $5,945. She had paid her end of the bargain. His phone and tape recorder were still left for him, but they wouldn't do him any good here.

So Ahnoah set off to the casino. He had a small amount of money but It would not hurt for just a couple of bet. "Ah, flashing lights of a casino. Sure takes me back." He checked the casino. "Seems legal enough" So he walked inside with his small amount of money, ready to win or lose. He prefers chance games over anything else. Not something someone else can manipulate. though if they had pinball, which they probably don't, all of his money would be gone
 
@SilverSolis


The casino was quiet this morning, almost dead quiet. The place was crawling with policemen who were investigating the scene. "He can't have gone far, we closed off the area." One of the men said, looking around the empty place.


"Hey? Who's that! Is that him? You said he had red hair, right...?" One of the officers pointed to the approaching Hunter.


"It's light red, and that guy isn't in handcuffs." The police captain remarked.


"Well, who is he? Should he be here?" A few officers started to converge on him.


The distraction gave Terrance time to move away from the bar, but he hid steadfast next to Gaius. They arrived out of the portal in the early morning, and it would be even harder for them to escape in the sunrise. However, the massive man next to him seemed to have a plan, so the bartender waited before making any sudden moves.
 
Caeda was at a bit of a dilemma here... she was really tired, so chances were she wasn't able to think straight. Everything had their repercussions, their consequences...but right now, she couldn't think of anything. The woman had handed her a plate of green eggs.... if there had been ham too she might have actually laughed a bit. "Thank you. I guess i am rather hungry." She says, taking a bit of the food.


Now the kissing bit.... well, Caeda was always a tad lusty true, but her thoughts went beyond that right now. This was her chance to get some real information... really try to understand this woman for herself... or it could have just been the lust, the hunger, and the desire to not piss her off and die talking. "Certainly." She says, sipping some of the orange juice. "What did you have in mind?"

"Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck." The bitch had stolen everything of any use off of him. Sure he had the money and could buy new ones and more but the items had sentimental value as well. Ok, he had to find the girls, if she was coming after them he had to tell them what he knew. He could only guess that following after the woman prove any use. But a gamble was better than wasting time in this room. He gathered his nerves and walked after the woman.

"I'll tell you later..." she gave a truthful answer and walked back into the hall where Johnny could see her. With a flick of her hand she dimmed the lighting of the whole house to a more subtle level so that Caeda could relax and not strain her eyes. She left the door to the library open and went to clean parts of the kitchen herself since her slave was now dozing off in the library and she figured Terrance would just break the dishes. "Girl thinks she can outsmart me, I raised her..." she mumbled as she focused her attention away from the world for a moment. She cleaned dishes using a sink and scrubbed them by hand, looking rather dutiful but also frustrated. "Plus I have to babysit four people, ridiculous." She counted Terrance, Johnny, Caeda, and Selene with her fingers while changing each of her fingernails to match the associated colors. She referred to them as if they were children and wiggled her fingers playfully.


Just then she noticed johnny, who had slipped on the wet tile and fell unto his chest. "Oh, hello." she spoke rather causally to the man she basically mind-raped the other night. "Sleep well?" she joked, already knowing the answer. "I was thinking we'd play a game later, would you like to play a game?" she asked, sounding like a rather sensual feminine version of Jigsaw as she reached for a towel to dry the dishes.
 
Johnny fell on the floor like a moron, so much for being stealthy. "Ow..." he muttered as he got himself up, at least his ribs felt better then they had. "Well considering I had no plans on sleeping here or recalling sleeping to begin with, that means either the interview was not real or this is not real. But for now that does not matter, where's the items stolen from my body?" He said looking at her, pausing when she mentioned a game. "And what type of game is that?"

"Terrance took them, he has them locked away in his room." She replied honestly. She began to dry the wet dishes and watched Johnny's face while switching back to the shiny plates that looked to be made out of a whitened silver material. "That phone and the flask are mine..." She reminded him, pointing out to the man that he had stolen them. Although, rather strangely, nobody in the room felt guilty about stealing (Johnny included). She seemed to be more bothered that he took away her property. "But, If you want to take back the gun and that necklace, I'd be happy to bet them in a game of your choice." She seemed to have turned the tables on him while still giving him a chance, expecting him to gamble in order to win back his things. Being the day after he lost the poker game, perhaps Johnny's luck would be different today, or perhaps luck would do him no good against a being like the Princess. The only thing she knew about Johnny was that this was his strong suit, so maybe she wanted to test him this way like she had mentioned?
 
"Well, since you're putting my things on the line it means you're trying to goad me into playing for them back. I bet you still want something from me that you can't just steal." He adjusted his hat and said. "Besides, if I win them back, who's to say you won't just steal them again. So how about either I won't play or we play for higher stakes." He said, trying to goad her into betting more than just his gun and necklace.

Alice responded by placing the wet towel down on the counter and turning to Johnny with a devilish smile. In this moment, she really did resemble a true demon more than any sort of human-esque being. "Higher stakes? What did you have in mind?" the idea of raising the stakes seemed to make her absolutely excited from head to toe. He could see her shaking with energy, giggling a bit underneath her smile as shreds of madness broke through her pale face. It was a sound like a pixie...sort of a demented fairy giggle. She couldn't help but show how worked up this made her, it was a bit unsettling and more than a little creepy.
 
"That's for me to know and for you to find out once we play." Johnny said with a fox like smile, he wanted to leave the woman in the dark for a bit and hopefully make her worry about what he was planing. He also wanted to talk to Caeda and the others about his plan since it was likely to involve them. "Now, till then I'd like to see my friends if you don't mind." He said and started to walk past her.

Caeda looked up, still somewhat lost in thought. "Oh, hello there, Johnny." She says, sipping some of the orange juice. "Did you enjoy your 'private interview'?" She said, putting it behind quotation marks. "This place is... well, you have a lot to write about."

Johnny saw Caeda and winced a bit at the interview remark. "You know...I was just trying to buy you guys time to find out something, besides a lot of good it did. I was apparently asleep for it all, so I'm guessing she has control over dreams or something." He rubbed his forehead trying to gather his thoughts. He saw her sipping on the orange juice. "Did you check that to see if it was drugged?" He asked as he looked her over to see if she was of sound mind and body. He needed her to be somewhat at her best if his plan was going to go though.

"No I didn't." Caea said, shrugging. "We're trapped in a Fae dimension apparently." She said, motioning to one of their books. "I don't really understand all of it but... with the difficulty of the escape method, they wouldn't bother drugging us." She says. "That... Princess person is something called a Fae. We're in a Fae realm close to our world... god that sounds so dumb when I say it out loud." She says, yawning. "I have the escape method. We need a reflective surface and to ask the door to leave... whatever that means... I was looking up stuff while you were busy ogling the Princess."

After her long period of Study, Selene was asleep, as if she collapse to the fatigue of such strenuous study. in her slumber, she couldn't really listen. in fact, she was dreaming lucid dreams of going back to Wonderland and starting a new family to replace the one she couldn't return to. in fact, it were almost a new goal. not only did she dream of a life free of the princess, but a life where had a comfortable family. this dream was one of relatively few ways she retained her sanity, but she was too tired to stand herself or even listen. In the dream, she was secure, and well, the other members kept changing, because she always found new desirable individuals. but those who could read her mind would clearly understand this dream was but a pipe dream that would probably never be fulfilled. She heard not a thing because she was too busy sleeping.

"Well then if we need permission I know a good way to get it. He said with a bit of a smile, The Princess, Alice. has challenged me to any game of my choosing. I think can get us out of here with the game and get us our freedom with her wager." He said with a smile. He had a game in mind that needed technology to work. And since it did not work here they would have to go somewhere else where it did work to play it. "You should sleep, I'm going to need you at your best if we are to win."
