The World of Night

[Justice knight]

Spoiler:

Oh but I thought you loved me.

"You going to stop stareing?" Lucifer asked the woman.

[cowleyj]

James felt rather annoyed. grrrr... I hate it when I can't do anything. I like to be able to act, no matter how futile it may be. Being...powerless...is infuriating. James punched a wall, hard. "OOOOWWW! Oh, crap, that hurt! Damnit!"

[Musicman247]

"Sounds like the queen may not be the one in power after all," said Steven.

[The-Shadow-One]

"Politics." the guard said simply before hurrily walking away.
---
The woman smiled slightly and finished her drink. She walked out of the bar, her immensive meance gone.

[Justice knight]

Lucifer let out a relieved sigh.
He rushed back to the table.
"Will we be following her then?" Umbra asked.
Lucifer looked at Kayla as if he was awaiting her response.

[Kerr]

"We aren't giving up that easily. Come on gang, we got us a mystery." said Hastur.

[The-Shadow-One]

Kayla shook her head. "She's.." She said before Senorita Kitty continued. "The aura of menace.."

[Justice knight]

"I like her," Umbra offered, "She seemed very powerful indeed."
"He does have a point," Lucifer said, "Sorry Annem, but I'm going after her- come if you want, but I'm not staying."

[cowleyj]

think, James, you dunce! Are there any weaknesses? They put some effort into suppressing powers, but did they put so much work into low-tech, as it were, stuff? James thought, and started to check out the walls for weaknesses, and looking at the lock. It would pass the time at least.

[Musicman247]

"So which one of us is Shaggy?" Steven asked, amused.

[Justice knight]

Spoiler:

Okay guys, see you in the morning- no PSP sucks.

[The-Shadow-One]

The wall looked sturdy, if a bit damp, there was a crack in the wall where water was dripping though. The lock was primitve, slightly rusty but looks like it could take a bit of punishment.
---
Kayla shook her head. "I'm staying here.."

Spoiler:

Bye Justice!
Your both shaggy.

[Kerr]

"I'm thinking we go back to the castle." said Hastur. "I go undercover as somebody who works there and try to find out what is really going on. I'm not going to force you to help, it is going to be pretty dangerous. I'll understand if you say no."

[cowleyj]

hm. The lock looks interesting...strong physically, but easy to pick...if I had a pick...hm, is there anything knocking about that I could use as a pick?James thought...before something occurred to him, what will I do once I'm out? Wouldn't want to risk a fight with too many guards. Stealth it is then.

[Musicman247]

"Hey, it's your ass if I get hurt, so I'm in," Steven said, wearing a sly grin. "What can I do?"

[Kerr]

"I need to get blood from a worker somehow. A drop will do. Give them a paper cut or something. Anyway it would help if you could keep the worker occupied. A private musical performance or something." said Hastur. "I'll probably need a uniform too."

[Musicman247]

"Okay, I can do that," said Steven. He walked back over to the place he had set the guitar down. "I'm gonna borrow this for just a second. Be right back," he said to the band.

[Kerr]

It didn't take the pair long to make it back to the castle. "Up to you which one I go undercover as. Which worker do you think you can keep enthaled with your music?" asked Hastur.

[Musicman247]

"Why don't we just find out?" Steven asked. He started playing the guitar part to More Than Words and walked up to the guards. "Would anyone like a private concert?" he asked.

[The-Shadow-One]

Some guards appluaded at Steven's song. Some others nodded.

[Musicman247]

Steven winked at one of the guards who clapped and said, "Why don't you and I go see if we can make some music together?" He started walking toward a darkened corner.

[The-Shadow-One]

The guard, a male Demt, nodded shyly. He was rather thin and lanky but held his spear like it was a dagger. His hair was slightly long, sandy and curly, Earning him the name Goldilocks from the other guards. His skin was pale but hispanic. He followed Steven to the corner to the whoops and jeers of the others.

[Kerr]

Hastur followed behind Steven and Goldilocks.

[The-Shadow-One]

Spoiler:

All you need is a big Legan and you have goldilocks and the three bears..
Oh god. I have a idea.

[Musicman247]

Holy crud, what have I done? I was looking at the girl over there...dangit! Steven started to play another song, I Don't Want To Miss A Thing by Aerosmith. He hoped that Hastur would come quickly and get the guy's blood.
