"Well so much for a quiet morning study," Snowmane stated, chuckling quietly as she returned to her seat among the barrels and crates. "Is he going to share our space in here? It was already a bit cramped to begin with."
Character: Gurka, Dag'rema, Kitanga
Location: Feralas
"I'll just follow you then," Dag'rema answered, still quiet confused.

"O-only until he recovers somewhat," Varyn quickly replied. Turnign bak tot he death knight, varyn softly called, "Mordecai? Mordecai?" A sliver of blue opened in the darkness of the helm. "Ah, good. Not that's it is not exceptional to see you, but what had happened to Miss Malice?"
Slowly opening his eyes more, Mordecai stared at the mage in blank incomprehension.
Character:
Damocles Rex
Location:
Clockworks
Damocles took both soulstones from their casing and turned to the lamp. Hurrying, he inserted them into two small slots in the back, the cells adjusting to the size of both stones within their confines, grim sparks moving about the surfaces of the stones.
Quickly so as not to lose the momentum, Damocles checked the rods, their purpose not only to sedate Malice, but as well to hold her core personality in place. Eyes narrowed at the slow drain of the two rods, Damocles returned to the lamp and turned the power up to maximum.
With a deathly gasp as of a child's first breath, the void stone grew darker, pulling at the soul stone beneath them as inexorably as a black hole, pulling at that which was not secured. It was not a presence of force, no wind summoned or weather. Rather, it was a whirlpool of energy, drawing in the ethereal of whatever lay below.

"Doesn't sound good," Snowmane murmured, reaching for her empty flask. "Think the Time Police got her?"
Character: Malice
Location: Clockworks
Malice shifted uncomfortably in her 'sleep,' and made a few gaspy, gurgly noises.

A shocked look was sent the white worgen's way, Varyn's snowy eyebrows vanishing up his forehead. He spun around to the death knight. "Mordecai! Do you recall Malice? She was a woman. Made of fel magic."
Very slowy, the death knight shook his head once more.
Character:
Damocles Rex
Location:
Clockworks
With knitted brows of annoyance Damocles pushed the needles further into Malice until they scraped the gem which housed her soul. Grasping the void stone lamp, he maneuvered it closer to Malice's chest. Eldritch black sparks began to play between the black and purple stones, the rods quivering at the strain of holding 'Mary' in place as the void attempted to strip the soul stone of all others. Damocles narrowed his eyes, the scene reflecting in them like two mirrors.

"If they got her, they'll probably go after me or Coldpelt next," Snowmane murmured darkly. "As far as I know, our group is the only one they are aware of."
Character: Malice
Location: Clockworks
After several tense moments, the twin soulstones ceased growing darker, leaving the the one inside Malice comparatively brighter. The air around the pair seemed to grow colder.

Varyn furrowed his brow. "And worse. It seems they may have the capability of interfering in an individual's anamnesis."
Character:
Damocles Rex
Location:
Clockworks
Leaning back, Damocles observed the twin soul gems with growing satisfaction. He quickly returned his eyes to their progenitor and clutched the rim of the lamp, aiming it with mathematical precision at the soul stone entombed in the fel spawned flesh, waiting for the last of its taint to be drawn away.

"Worse for you, maybe," Snowmane answered, frowning. "I'm more worried about whatever they plan to do to those they capture. Supposing they don't just gun you down, like Coldpelt."
Character: Malice
Location: Clockworks
Malice's skin began to let a thin green light through, and her eyes seemed sunken in her head.

Varyn grimaced, a shadow passing over his face. "I...believe it best we focus more on the task at hand. There must be some reason they have yet to pursue us directly," he put forward.
Character:
Damocles Rex
Location:
Clockworks
Realizing he had taken all there was to be given, Damocles shut off the void stones with a flick of the switch. As darkness faded and light slowly returned to the room, the black figure straightened the lamp and retrieved the gems socketed in the back.
They felt heavy in his gloved hands. Not that of physical weight such as grams and pounds, but the sort of weight which pressed on the mind and spirit, one which made people instantly avoid certain yawning caves and forbidding men. It was the substance of sheer presence.
That was what Damocles felt upon himself as he held both stones. He glanced between both and hefted them in his hands as though testing which had more to offer.

"Busy with Malice?" Snowmane offered.

Location: Clockworks
Both stones seemed to exude a sense of anger and discomfort, though the one in Damocles right hand was decidedly the more violent of the two.

"I do not suspect lack of time is something the are troubled with," Varyn replied, caught within his own thoughts and being unusually candid.
Character:
Damocles Rex
Location:
Clockworks
Damocles raised a brow at the presences, but wasted no time on congratulations. There would be time for that later. Turning, he approached the table and deposited both gems within the heavily warded box, snapping shut the lid securely and moving to one of the featureless walls. Grasping an otherwise invisible handle he pulled open a drawer seemingly in space and deposited the box inside then, as an afterthought, fetched Malice's book as well and dropped it in before pushing the drawer back into the wall as though it had never existed.
Satisfied, Damocles returned to the table and retrieved the needles from Malice's chest, which were nearly down to their dredges. Moving quickly before she could awaken totally, he retrieved the clamps holding her flesh agape and her skin slide back into place.
Stepping back he waited for her to awaken, once more retrieving his personal Light stone and hiding it behind the casual motion of clasping his hands behind his back.

The shockwave threw Gurka to the ground, and bashed her head again the stone floor of the temple, splitting the skin and soaking her hair with blood. She woozily tried to get up and figure out what was going on.
Kitanga immediately bolted after Silver-Pelt, terrified.
Character: Snowmane
Location: The Great Sea
"Then perhaps they lost our trail?" Snowmane replied.
Character: Malice
Location: Clockworks
Malice groaned and began to awaken, her skin sealing itself back together nearly instantly. As she came to, she tried to sit up, but found herself strap in place again, completely immobilized.

Vashadya nodded, not entirely sure where she was heading herself. The priestess sidestepped the trees nearest to her, avoiding getting to close to the unnatural wilting, and kept going.

"Let us hope so, though relying on hope alone will do little," he added grimly.

Reaching forward with a free arm, Damocles released the straps about her forehead and arms.

"I don't like this," Dag'rema murmured, following Vashadya.
Gurka looked up just in time to see the stone roof of the temple racing toward her and then everything went dark.
Kitanga whispered a desperate prayer to the spirit of air to slow Silver-Pelt's fall, and then promptly set about scaling the cliff.
Character: Snowmane
Location: The Great Sea
Snowmane nodded and returned her flask to her robe upon remembering it was empty.
Character: Malice
Location: Clockworks
Malice sat up and rubbed her head--more out of habit than actual benefit. "Did it work?" she asked.

"As such," the mage continued in a distracted tone, speaking more to himself than the others, "it may prove prudent to have some ability to meet up or track one another, should we be divided." Varyn glanced to Snowmane. "I have read of a certain enchantments which attract one another. Little more than a cantrip, and effective at short distances. As well, it fades swiftly, within a few days at most, but it may prove better than nothing at all."

"The probability of such is extremely high," Damocles informed her, releasing the bonds on her legs. Returning to her side, he offered her a hand to help her rise. "How are you feeling..." Damocles paused for a moment, considering. "...Mary?"

"I think I know which one you're talking about," Snowmane nodded. "Might be useful," she added with a shrug.
Character: Malice
Location: Clockworks
Malice let out a big sigh of relief. "Better..." she stated, holding up her hand. She pressed a nail into her palm until it bled green. "I don't think I'm Mary again, but it's better. I can think clearly. No more voices..." she paused. "That alone makes it worth it, I think."

"It only works within the range of about a mile," Varyn admitted, beginning to search through his pockets. "But with events as they stand, even so mild an aid would be beneficial. Should we be further separated, it would be best to meet at the target destination itself." With eyes sparkling in triumph he produced a small stone at the end of a string. "Ah, here we are."

"There may be an adjustment period," Damocles confirmed.

"Nor do I," Vashadya agreed, eyeing the sparks with fascinated anxiety, though the night elf pressed on regardless.
