Arlene Medina (FC: Sara Sampaio) Larper/Hunter/Nerd Cafe

[geekhunter101]

{Open} Moonlit walk

Arlene sighed as she finally was able to close, she’d let a new dungeons and dragons group meet at the cafe and they’d not only stayed way past their allotted time but when they’d left they’d totally trashed the place. 

Arlene had to make a quick decision whether or not to clean it up now or wait until the morning but in the end cleaning had won out so now at nearly one in the morning she was able to walk home. Most women were worried about walking so late by themselves, most women weren’t honorary members of the Belmonts either and also hadn’t just taken on a fey queen to rescue their friends with their adorable knightly boyfriend. Honestly if Godwin didn’t have so many friends were supernatural beings she’d have invited him to be a Belmont as well but she didn’t think their leader Sophia would really be thrilled about him having vampires like the shakespeares as their friends and honestly Arlene hadn’t really seen what was so bad about supernatural creatures. 

At first Arlene had joined them because…well everyone had seen the almost end of the world right?! demons wandering the streets, vampires just going crazy and devouring people, the literal gates of hell had opened in the streets of seacoast and some how everyone acted like it never really happened! Arlene had never felt so helpless only able to protect her grandparents restaurant with salt and because thankfully some other cronie of the belmonts had helped her. Arlene never told her grandparents what had happened (they’d been out of town) she was pretty sure they’d have had her committed if she did but Arlene never forgot that. 

Arlene was brought out of her thoughts when she started hearing footsteps behind her and couldn’t help but roll her eyes, not tonight. Mugger, werewolf, whatever so did not want to screw with her tonight! Arlene buried her hands in her jacket pockets and grabbed for the knife she kept there just to be safe.

When he was within hearing distance to not be too loud. “Relax, s’just me! Casper….” Casper held up his hands. “There has been an extraordinary amount of owls around here and I’m trying to figure out why they convene around here. Not really normal. How are you Arlene?” Casper asked as he neared her. “Haven’t seen you since we came back from the realm of the Fae.” He hadn’t slept well and it showed on his face. His dreams kept shifting back to Mab’s castle in a disturbing disorienting manner but nothing was out of the ordinary so he hoped the owls had something to do with it.

[geekhunter101]

Arlene relaxed at the familiar face and offered a smile

"it's good to see a familiar face, the city is dangerous at night you should be home sleeping" arlene told him she saw how tired he looked and frowned

"your lady friend wouldn't like you staying up all night and chasing owls, one look at you and death would need a nap" she gently scolded him of course meaning the best for him

INTO THE UNKNOWN || MULTI ||

Rohan sat at the edge of the woods still trying to fit himself with he bracers the knights costume department, there definitely had been one or two times in the past where they had to infiltrate a renaissance fair but with the little notice of he situation at hand he had to grab a few things that weren't made for him but still would work blending in.

Rohan had called in a few experts of his own to help him, having called Casper, Godwin and anyone else who might be fluent in dungeons and dragons. One of the best things Ava's ancestors had done was turn some of their studies into a game so people knew more than they thought they did

[madmothermab]

Nimue smiled a bit at him

"oh no this is just the sort of way merlin would do it, he never did anything in a way people expected him to do it so this is perfectly in character" nimue assured him shaking her head

"you don't have to be sweet on me just because we were a thing in a past life," nimue assured him "you're not obligated to like me because of a past you had no say in"

[knightsmortuary]

Casper chuckled, “I still wouldn’t mind at least having you for a friend.” He offered out a hand to her.

[ladyofthesmithy]

Nimue grinned at him

"you're eating my food, using my weapons and protecting my town I think that makes us friends" nimue said to him taking his hand and shaking it

Ava knocked as she looked inside

"hey dinner's done, someone want to wake Arthur?"

"no but we will" nimue said chuckling as she walked over to the king

"royal pain wake up"

[knightsmortuary]

Arthur sat up and blinked sleepily, “what?” He asked.

“It is dinner time my liege.” Casper chuckled.

“Oh don’t you start that too Casper.” Arthur said.

“If you don’t eat the Nimue won’t let you play with the sword.”

Arthur sighed and sat up straighter, “what sword I lost it long ago remember.”

“Ah but then I found it now she had polished it and now it is ready for use.”

“That sounds like it was very enjoyable for the both of you.” Arthur said.

Casper rolled his eyes, “I’m not even going to answer that remark.”

[vanhellsing-ava]

"just because you're a king doesn't mean I'm above throwing an axe at you" nimue warned him with a small smile before heading inside

Ava had made some stuffed chicken breast over pasta (she may have gone home to get some for the dish she wanted)

"ok enjoy," Ava said sitting down to hers

[knightsmortuary]

“Ehhh get in line, Ava is more likely to do so.” Arthur waved Nimue off as he stood. “Smells like food from home.

Casper looked at Nimue, “so that staff that you were working on is it for anything special? Are you making a lance for someone? Or is there a monk I should know about?”

[ladyofthesmithy]

Nimue rolled her eyes a little bit

"no it's for you, merlin didn't always need a way to channel his magic but it was definitely stronger when he did. He broke the things like toothpicks though so I doubt his is still around so I'm gathering the components to make you a new one since you're still learning it should help" nimue told him smiling as she took a. It's if her pasta happily it was a rare treat but didn't have that homemade taste to it perhaps Ava just made hera different. Nimue wasn't about to argue

[knightsmortuary]

Casper took it, “thank you.” He are the food before continuing his conversation with Nimue. “Also thank you, I know I won’t likely be as good as I was in my previous life with how long lived I was and the fact that I was probably part fey last time though I could be this time as I never really knew my birth parents,” he shrugged. The ring hummed sadly. “No, no pasta for you. You don’t even have a mouth,” he teased the ring. The ring made his hand raise before the ring pulled him forward, “oh what now?” He asked. The ring continued. “It is dinner time!”

The ring lead him outside. “Then a large encapsulating bubble surrounded the forge as a large rock came hurdling towards them. The ginormous pustule covered skin of the giant told him it was something large and dark fey. “Dark Fey!” He called inside.

Godwin came running out, “Formorians! Mab might have sent them or these could be bandits!”

[vanhellsing-ava]

"doesn't matter," nimue said quickly grabbing up a sword and shield

"Godwin,start going door to door get everyone to the forge there are tunnels to some hiding places there, Cornelius you've got magic so go with him and help the sick, elderly and little ones get to the tunnels, Arlene go to the town hall and get to ringing the bell Robin will join you shortly listen to him very carefully." Nimue ordered quickly this obviously wasn't her first time as she looked to her party members

"Puck you and Harper go straight there,Harper you're helping people once they're in the tunnels, puck you're fast so check food and water supplies down there and if you don't think there's enough I'm trusting you to run to the houses and get some more. If I haven't called your name already you're with me." Nimue said Ava grabbed her crossbow and kissed Cornelius for luck

[knightsmortuary]

Casper looked at the ring, “I’m trusting you to do what needs to be done.” He said before his eyes closed when they opened they were white and glowed as the ring took command of him. Magic flowing through him, if he had resembled Merlin before now he truly was Merlin as he walked towards the danger.

Arthur hurried over to where Excalibur was and took it up as he hurried out after Nimue.

Godwin was already getting people up with his hands on the doors.

The sound of a rock crushing a house was horrid. The large grotesque giants that came at them were a sight no one wanted to behold.

Cornelius was already using his magic to stop the house from collapsing so entirely that any who could escape were able to.

It was chaos as people ran screaming making their way to the forge.

Godwin got to the last house and dodged as a blow nearly struck him, he knocked on the door and when the person opened he pushed them back inside and closed the door, “is there a way out the back?”

They nodded and went around.

Cornelius was off helping others get through the forge and down the tunnels.

Casper brought up his hands and lighting struck a Formorian where it stood, the body warbled and writhed before falling in a pile of charred flesh.

Arthur ran drawing the sword and was already hacking up and at any Formorians that came his way. Dodging their blows as Ava had taught him.

[geekhunter101]

Ava was after them with her crossbow and nimue stayed close to casper to ensure his safety as well as defend her town.

Arlene was quick to ring the emergency bell and sure enough a younger man came running quick

"no nimue or Is she at the front ranks?" Robin asked quirking a brow at her

"she'd with Arthur and merlin" Arlene said and that seemed to give him pause until he shook his head

"doesn't matter, so many questions for later just uh thank you." Robin said before he went to the door and looked outside

"alright it should be safe for you to get to the forge my lady"

Arlene raised a brow before removing her battle-ax from her back

"no thanks, but you're welcome to help others get there" Arlene said before she hurried off to join the fight, all those who could help were needed

[ladyofthesmithy]

"so story teller," one guard piped up "if you're so knowledgeable about such things what must you know of king arthur appearing in the town square today?" He asked Ava kept a straight face, they'd disguised the wrong target, well potentially the right one but not for the right quest.

"king arthur is a human fable," nimue said simply "you all know no human could perform such acts even with the aid of sorcery and especially not with one of mine own weapons. No human could ever even wield such a gift"

[geektender]

“Godwin shrugged. “There are more variations to the story that no one knows the truth.”

[ladyofthesmithy]

Nimue nodded agreeing and motioned to Godwin

"point taken, see? No human story could be so powerful!"

"there's you" one guard pointed out to her "and sir hood out there"

Nimue opened her mouth to argue but closed it again as she tried to rethink this battle plan, where the fuck was puck with the drinks?

[here-to-puck-it-up]

Puck returned with the wine that was now charmed. “Here we are, sorry it was behind other bottles that wanted to jump off the shelves so had to juggle then had to find the cups.”

[ladyofthesmithy]

Nimue took a glass and paused hearing what he said and worrying that it might not be something she was safe to drink either

"no thank you," Arlene said to him smiling faintly picking up the same as nimue "I don't drink to much"

[here-to-puck-it-up]

Puck didn’t take a glass, “not my type of alcohol, I preffer absinthe myself.”

Casper took a glass and wondered at what the contents really were.

Godwin took a glass, “to the valiant guards who seek to keep us all safe from harm.” He lifted his glass in a toast, but was trying to not take a sip till they had.

[ladyofthesmithy]

Nimue raised her glass as well and the moment the guards were to involved in their glasses she dumped it out the window quickly Ava found her glass conveniently behind a plant to be taken care of later

[knightsmortuary]

Casper pretended to have drunk his too quickly and sputtered and coughed.

“This is why you can’t have nice things.” Godwin chided him, taking the moment to set his cup down and take care of/chastise his friend’s impatience. Thumping him on the back. “All the same we will miss you.”

[geekhunter101]

The guards didn't seem to be paying attention they hardly seemed to be paying attention to anything more of staring off into space Arlene moved over and waved a hand in front of their faces

"whatever you did it worked" Arlene said smiling

"these are not the droids you are looking for" she joked waving her hand in front of their faces only for them to actually repeat her and she couldn't stop herself from laughing

[geektender]

“So now what?” Godwin asked gesturing you the guards. “What do we do?”

[vanhellsing-ava]

"they should be able to be easily influenced, puck cast the spell so he should be able to command them" Ava said looking over at him

"I recommend having them rethink their lives and forgetting everyone they've seen here"

[here-to-puck-it-up]

Puck nodded, “you have decided this line of work is too much trouble and want to spend the rest of your years doing whatever it is you enjoy be it farming, spending time with your children, or fishing what have you. Now leave and do so.”

They nodded and started off away from them.

[ladyofthesmithy]

"and don't tell anybody else about the people here" nimue added quickly

Once they were gone she sat down relieved for a moment

'okay now let's get some actual wine and go to bed. We have a lot to do between training and potentially planning to over throw the queen" nimue said as she then stood again and went to get some drinks

[knightsmortuary]

“I think I will just tuck in for the night,” Casper said he had a lot on his mind and the morning would come soon enough for him. “Good night.”

Cornelius looked at Ava, “would you like to bunk with me?” He asked.

[geekhunter101]

"if that's ok?" She asked though she looked to nimue

"go nuts I don't care" nimue said shrugging a little bit as she got some ale for herself Harper also said goodnight and headed out to bed

"what do you think amore?" Arlene asked looking to Godwin "to soon or would you like to bunk with me?" Arlene asked him with a smirk

[masters-of-voice]

Rohan nodded it was definitely plausible

"keep close, casper if it gets to much let us know we'll take a break" Rohan promised him before continuing the trek through the unfamiliar territory the problem was not knowing where they were going but being able to see the start of black stone towers was probably a good start

[geektender]

Casper nodded and walked along, Arthur taking the rear to guard.

Godwin was busy taking in the sights and sounds of the forest around them. “This place is wonderful even if it is dark.”

[masters-of-voice]

"it would be better if Will wasn't somewhere trapped here with Ben" Rohan said sighing a bit he knew he should have kept a closer eye on Ben and stayed with will and the family that night he felt guilt for not listening to them and going. So much had happened and he wanted to be sure they were safe

[geektender]

“We should keep an eye out for red caps and formorians. That is if they exist here. Ooh and cyclops!”

[masters-of-voice]

"let's focus on whats ahead before we focus on what could be meu amor" Arlene said to him smiling at his enthusiasm it made her wonder how much he really did know and how much she should report to Sophia, she'd hate to see him get hurt because he didn't know what side he was on.

They trudged on to the castle which stood heavily guarded Rohan observed there weren't many ways in without and decided to try a direct approach telling the others to wait for him as he approached the guards

"I am sir Rohan of seacoast, I have an appointment to see your king and queen" Rohan told them the guards did some whisper and damn the fey for being so good at keeping secrets

"there are no appointments today, move along"

"I need to see the king" Rohan said a little more sternly before the guard drew his sword

"I suggest you move along"

[dead-boy-journalist]

Arthur pressed a hand to his face, “well we’ve lost Rohan.”

Casper grimaced, “now what? Where now?”

[geekhunter101]

Rohan took a moment before returning to his companions

"in getting into that castle one way or another," he handed Arlene his bag

"lay low and wait for Ava" he told them before he went back to the guards before Arlene could ask he has punched one if them square in the face which obviously broke out in a brawl

"is he always so stupid?" Arlene asked watching as more guards were called to handle Rohan, he wasn't much for field work but he wasn't helpless either

[knightsmortuary]

“More or less, I don’t know about you but I think we should go back to where the portal was there was a crossing not far where a village is. If the sign is to be believed. We can wait there till it is closer for Ava to join us.” Casper suggested.

“It is a better idea than waiting right here.” Arthur shrugged.

“Annnnnnd he is down.” Godwin grimaced as he watched the dog pilling of the guards on Rohan. “Well I’m good with the plan if you all are.”

[vanhellsing-ava]

"I'm guessing running would be Best" Arlene suggested as one of the guards leveled them with a look just as Rohan was brought to his knees with a good hit to the back of his head he was seized and cuffed spitting out blood he hadn't had a brawl like that since his college days, surely seeing such an act would have made will proud but that was a story for their missing bard.

Arlene grabbed Godwin by the hand and started sprinting the direction that they'd come to try to find he little village as a guard shouted after them no doubt wanting to arrest them as well

--

Ava made her way to the portal dressed in her own outfit hat she wore to blend in among the fey. Most if them knew her parents anyways either her mothers or her father or someone depending on who she ran into it was either a warm welcome or an attack....there wasn't much of an in-between. Ava approached and paused seeing the sorcerer that was there and raised a brow

"Cornelius?" She asked slinging her crossbow over her shoulders as she approached looking him up and down with a smile

"you look good, though I thought you'd be done with magic since you're human again"

[convertingtothedammned]

“Oh no I find it useful, especially when there is always another bed that is needed or a spare bowl of food for those that use our place to take shelter at night.” Cornelius smiled. “Always room for more it is getting to be rather timelord like in there.” He chuckled.

-

They got to the village the guards having given up at the edge of the lands. “Right that was an adventure.”

“This is why you don’t split the party!” Godwin declared. “You lose your numbers. Now where should we go from here?”

[vanhellsing-ava]

"there's the little village or we can just sit and make camp off the side if the road" Arlene said thoughtfully she knew they had to stay in view do Ava could find them though or else they risked missing each other and a lot of other issues.

--

Ava smiled at him

"well magic looks good on you, no doubt mom's doing?" Ava asked quirking a brow "and intake it you're not coming for the adventure then? Just playing gate keeper unfortunately?"

She figured him playing soul seeker for hell likely was slot he adventure he needed especially where now he was trying to be a real pastor which was sweet since he was trying to make up for his wrong doing

[knightsmortuary]

“Town there is something to do here and we blend in enough.” Casper said. “By the side of the road we are more noticeable and vulnerable.”

-

“Until Calista gets here, figured she, I and your mother could take turns guarding it from anyone who might try to seal it. That being said though it might be good to have someone who knows how to make one present.” He smirked and reached up taking a leaf that had landed in her hair and gently let it go. “You don’t come around as much I miss you.”

[vanhellsing-ava]

Ava shrugged a little bit

"had to do a lot of damage control since the apocalypse, paranormal investigators are hard to deter and not always reasonable. Plus there's something going on with Sophia, I have to look into it" Ava admitted to him smiling a little as she almost leaned into the touch

"I miss you too" she added to him she almost didn't want to go so she could stay and talk to him a little while longer

--

Arlene nodded and readjusted rohan's bag in her shoulder

"alright then, let's go we don't know when it gets dark here and don't want to get caught in unfamiliar territory like that" Arlene said before she headed off knowing the others would follow

[convertingtothedammned]

“If you aren’t back by the end of my shift as am going after you and that is a threat!” He teased. “We can chat about this over a mug of tea at your Mother’s when this is over.”

-

They trooped together along twisting turns and over various parts that one would hardly recognize from coming the other way. The fry wild was like that especially for outsiders.

[geekhunter101]

The town was farther than Arlene had thought, by he time they reached the town on a large lake the sun was starting to set and she worried their friend wouldn't find them

The town looked like if a villains tavern had been expanded into some kind of tortuga but without the ocean pirates. Obviously in the outskirts this place was all but forgotten and those who had been banished obviously adapted but for it's circumstances it seemed to be doing well.

"I feel like this is where we should have started our quest" Arlene admitted with a chuckle "looks like where you might start curse of strahd or something, madame eva will be around the corner"

[geektender]

“Something to that nature.” Godwin smirked at her.

Casper gasped as the image flashed in his mind, this time it stayed stronger. “I think the ring is around here the one I keep seeing in my mind.”

[geekhunter101]

Arlene looked around and saw a couple of small shops

"looks like there is a jewelers, a pawn shop, a smithy and a trading post. Unless you're going to win it in a game of cards at the tavern-" Arlene was cut off when a couple of small children ran towards them and one was pushed forward

"a-are you king arthur?" The small boy asked looking at Arthur himself "like the stories?"

Ava made her way to the portal dressed in her own outfit hat she wore to blend in among the fey. Most if them knew her parents anyways either her mothers or her father or someone depending on who she ran into it was either a warm welcome or an attack....there wasn't much of an in-between. Ava approached and paused seeing the sorcerer that was there and raised a brow

"Cornelius?" She asked slinging her crossbow over her shoulders as she approached looking him up and down with a smile

"you look good, though I thought you'd be done with magic since you're human again"

[convertingtothedammned]

“Oh no I find it useful, especially when there is always another bed that is needed or a spare bowl of food for those that use our place to take shelter at night.” Cornelius smiled. “Always room for more it is getting to be rather timelord like in there.” He chuckled.

-

They got to the village the guards having given up at the edge of the lands. “Right that was an adventure.”

“This is why you don’t split the party!” Godwin declared. “You lose your numbers. Now where should we go from here?”

[vanhellsing-ava]

"there's the little village or we can just sit and make camp off the side if the road" Arlene said thoughtfully she knew they had to stay in view do Ava could find them though or else they risked missing each other and a lot of other issues.

--

Ava smiled at him

"well magic looks good on you, no doubt mom's doing?" Ava asked quirking a brow "and intake it you're not coming for the adventure then? Just playing gate keeper unfortunately?"

She figured him playing soul seeker for hell likely was slot he adventure he needed especially where now he was trying to be a real pastor which was sweet since he was trying to make up for his wrong doing

[knightsmortuary]

“Town there is something to do here and we blend in enough.” Casper said. “By the side of the road we are more noticeable and vulnerable.”

-

“Until Calista gets here, figured she, I and your mother could take turns guarding it from anyone who might try to seal it. That being said though it might be good to have someone who knows how to make one present.” He smirked and reached up taking a leaf that had landed in her hair and gently let it go. “You don’t come around as much I miss you.”

[vanhellsing-ava]

Ava shrugged a little bit

"had to do a lot of damage control since the apocalypse, paranormal investigators are hard to deter and not always reasonable. Plus there's something going on with Sophia, I have to look into it" Ava admitted to him smiling a little as she almost leaned into the touch

"I miss you too" she added to him she almost didn't want to go so she could stay and talk to him a little while longer

--

Arlene nodded and readjusted rohan's bag in her shoulder

"alright then, let's go we don't know when it gets dark here and don't want to get caught in unfamiliar territory like that" Arlene said before she headed off knowing the others would follow

[convertingtothedammned]

“If you aren’t back by the end of my shift as am going after you and that is a threat!” He teased. “We can chat about this over a mug of tea at your Mother’s when this is over.”

-

They trooped together along twisting turns and over various parts that one would hardly recognize from coming the other way. The fry wild was like that especially for outsiders.

[geekhunter101]

The town was farther than Arlene had thought, by he time they reached the town on a large lake the sun was starting to set and she worried their friend wouldn't find them

The town looked like if a villains tavern had been expanded into some kind of tortuga but without the ocean pirates. Obviously in the outskirts this place was all but forgotten and those who had been banished obviously adapted but for it's circumstances it seemed to be doing well.

"I feel like this is where we should have started our quest" Arlene admitted with a chuckle "looks like where you might start curse of strahd or something, madame eva will be around the corner"

INTO THE UNKNOWN || MULTI ||

Rohan sat at the edge of the woods still trying to fit himself with he bracers the knights costume department, there definitely had been one or two times in the past where they had to infiltrate a renaissance fair but with the little notice of he situation at hand he had to grab a few things that weren't made for him but still would work blending in.

Rohan had called in a few experts of his own to help him, having called Casper, Godwin and anyone else who might be fluent in dungeons and dragons. One of the best things Ava's ancestors had done was turn some of their studies into a game so people knew more than they thought they did

[masters-of-voice]

Rohan nodded it was definitely plausible

"keep close, casper if it gets to much let us know we'll take a break" Rohan promised him before continuing the trek through the unfamiliar territory the problem was not knowing where they were going but being able to see the start of black stone towers was probably a good start

[geektender]

Casper nodded and walked along, Arthur taking the rear to guard.

Godwin was busy taking in the sights and sounds of the forest around them. “This place is wonderful even if it is dark.”

[masters-of-voice]

"it would be better if Will wasn't somewhere trapped here with Ben" Rohan said sighing a bit he knew he should have kept a closer eye on Ben and stayed with will and the family that night he felt guilt for not listening to them and going. So much had happened and he wanted to be sure they were safe

[geektender]

“We should keep an eye out for red caps and formorians. That is if they exist here. Ooh and cyclops!”

[masters-of-voice]

"let's focus on whats ahead before we focus on what could be meu amor" Arlene said to him smiling at his enthusiasm it made her wonder how much he really did know and how much she should report to Sophia, she'd hate to see him get hurt because he didn't know what side he was on.

They trudged on to the castle which stood heavily guarded Rohan observed there weren't many ways in without and decided to try a direct approach telling the others to wait for him as he approached the guards

"I am sir Rohan of seacoast, I have an appointment to see your king and queen" Rohan told them the guards did some whisper and damn the fey for being so good at keeping secrets

"there are no appointments today, move along"

"I need to see the king" Rohan said a little more sternly before the guard drew his sword

"I suggest you move along"

[dead-boy-journalist]

Arthur pressed a hand to his face, “well we’ve lost Rohan.”

Casper grimaced, “now what? Where now?”

[geekhunter101]

Rohan took a moment before returning to his companions

"in getting into that castle one way or another," he handed Arlene his bag

"lay low and wait for Ava" he told them before he went back to the guards before Arlene could ask he has punched one if them square in the face which obviously broke out in a brawl

"is he always so stupid?" Arlene asked watching as more guards were called to handle Rohan, he wasn't much for field work but he wasn't helpless either

[masters-of-voice]

Rohan nodded making a note in his head before he turned it he others

"got it?" He asked Arlene nodded and Rohan looked to Cornelius

"lead the way then" he said determined he had brought food for them all to share but depending how long hid took it wouldn't last more than a few days

[geektender]

Godwin jumped into the portal and moved out of the way staring at the world around them.

Arthur not far behind with a oof from Casper.

[masters-of-voice]

Arlene pretended to be stunned by the portal before stepping through followed by Rohan. Arlene didn't have to take her astonishment at the strange dark world she found herself in as she looked around them

"wow"

"looks like we're in the borderlands then, keep on your toes" Rohan ordered before he headed off

[knightsmortuary]

Casper took a step and his mind flashed with an image that faded quickly his eyes blinking rapidly. He looked up confused, “anyone else see that?”

“What?” Godwin asked.

“There was an image that flashed through my mind too quick to know what it was.”

Arthur and Godwin shook their head, “no.”

“Ok.” Casper said taking a step and once more it flashed, a ring?

[geekhunter101]

"are you alright?" Arlene asked him seeing how he was doing as she placed a gentle hand on his shoulder

Rohan paused to turn back

"casper do you need to go back?" Rohan offered him field work was never really Casper's thing do Rohan understood that this might be to much on him

[geektender]

Godwin came dressed in wizard robes of course with the Monster manual in hand a satchel to carry it. Arthur was behind him also decked out in some borrowed gear from Vlad along with Casper who looked rather lost while also dressed like a caster rather Warlock like.

“Right so this should be easy real life D&D my whole adult life has prepared me for this moment!” Godwin grinned.

Arthur shook his head. “Careful Godwin, we haven’t even got there.”

“I know but we have survived the apocalypse what is the worst that could happen?”

“We get trapped?” Casper said. “Is your girlfriend the baker at that needy cafe what is her name? Angela? Coming or Layla?” Casper would feel better if they were.

[geekhunter101]

"coming where?" Arlene asked as she pushed through some brush Rohan quirked a brow at her seeing she was all dressed and ready

"safe to assume I'm not the only one here for LARPing practice then?" Arlene asked looking all of them over as she readjusted the shield on her arm. She hadn't actually been there for that, she had gotten a special mission from her employer to disassemble a fey circle that had sprouted up and to take out any fey who came out along the way.

Rohan looked her over

"afraid not, you play that dungeons and dragons game as well?"

"of course"

"fantastic, you're recruited. Let's go" Rohan said before he started trudging off and Arlene did her best to look confused as she turned to Godwin

"recruited for what?"

[knightsmortuary]

“To rescue some friends who got taken to the Feywild and assist those that got lost, we aren’t the first group.” Godwin told her. “I am here for my knowledge and expertise. Arthur can hack and slash with the best of them. And Casper....”

“I can act as a medic if need be. Someone has too may as well be me.”

“Oooh a healpact warlock very nice.”

Casper shook his head. “More like a cleric.”

“Meh.” Godwin shrugged. “I’m more of a cleric.”

Cornelius came from the direction of Ava’s mom’s house. “I checked the wards and placed some around the area head to deter anyone else who doesn’t know about this circle they just activated. He looked at Casper and frowned. “Here.” He held out a book. “Its a fey healing stone, they’ll help with the more deeper wounds just press it and it will heal. They only have so many uses so if it crumples to dust it’s done.”

Casper took it, “thanks.”

[geekhunter101]

Arlene looked among them and nodded a bit

"should that leave me as our bruiser or is that sir angst-a-lots job?" Arlene teased motioning to Rohan

Rohan pretended to ignore her

"miss if you're here for a game I suggest staying home but if you're here for a real adventure then read the room and stay close" Rohan informed her Arlene smirked a bit and gave a mock salute making Rohan regret his invitation as he turned to Cornelius

"thank you, Ava should be catching up later as well she's working on some things. We should get moving" Rohan told him there was no time to waste in rescuing will and Ben as well as their other companions

Vlad stared at the tincture before he downed it gagging. According to every doctor he had the worlds worst case of Anemia. He took his steak rarer than most would and his canines were far more prominent than others but that was fine. His skin burned easier in the sun that was fine too! He didn’t have a job outside so he could avoid that. Life was good, he made decent pay enough to cover expenses and a bit to put away for the rainy day or when his health bill was too much. Fruit helped.... that was the part the doctors couldn’t explain, why the fruit alleviated the symptoms. He had always been pale and stick like, but he figured he just couldn’t keep on weight.

Sometimes he had nightmares, ones that passed through his mind and stayed in the far back. Visions of himself soaked in blood, the bodies so many bodies, the smell of fire, brimstone and everything laid to waste. A firey crown perched over his head and a cry of anguish from his lips as he sat back upon a twisted throne and looked on at his work before him. Made for a good DnD plot.

His service dog was an enormous fluffball named Cerberus, though he didn’t start out so big, what had once been a five pound fluff had become a hundred thirty pound mass of muscle and fluff. Cerberus was a very protective dog and while he says that he saved Cerberus it was the other way around. He still thinks it was a dream, there was no way that the dog’s mouth unhinged and swallowed a gun.

Days passed the same, either working at the Bar, tending his bees, or playing video games till the crack of dawn pierced his red-eyed gaze. He attended the local university and was making his way in getting a doctorate in History. Having been praised for his writing and essays. The most common was, “you must have lived there in a past life!!!” He chuckled but honestly his dreams were rather vivid of things he shouldn’t know. He specifically had latched onto history of Eastern Europe.

Vlad currently was shaking a martini up at his job, dressed like a bard he acted as bartender. For a twenty dollar tip one could have him sing from a choice of songs that were provided on a easel next to the jar. Songs like ‘What is Love?’, to ‘Careless Whisper’, all the way to ‘Bad Romance’. It was a busy night and the sounds of rolling dice filled the air.

[masters-of-voice]

Nikki stepped back when the door began to melt and worries it was those creatures that had dragged them in there,Layla was still out if it and Nikki knew she had to protect her sister, she stood ready and the moment a person appeared she punched it square in the face as hard as she could only to realize a second layer just who it was

"oh my gosh Ezra!? I'm so sorry I didn't- what are you doing here?! Oh my gosh" Nikki tried to look over his face to see how bad she had hurt him masters burst into laughter on the spot

[dracula-resurrected]

Ezra chuckled and swooped her down into a deep and passionate kiss. “Hello Nikki darling.”

Vlad was beyond brimming with a brilliant smile as he hurried over and hurried to Layla scooping her up. Don’t worry I’ve got you.” He told Layla. “We need to get her to Dr. Emelyne then. We need to get the streets cleared and hell sealed back up. Will you all help me? Please?” Vlad asked.

[geekhunter101]

Angela smiled at him

"as long as I get mjolnir back at the end" Angela said she thought the whole thing was cute "and my boyfriend where is Godwin?" Angela asked she would have thought he would have joined them by now

[dracula-resurrected]

The elevator door opened and Godwin Arthur stepped out guns blazing. “Aww we missed it... Babe!” He ran over to Angela. “There is my fine Warrior woman!”

Vlad took Layla and laid her on the nearest bed while Arthur hurried to her. Vlad put back on the bracer and looked around, “alright head count who is up who is down and who is ready to fight the hordes of Hell?”

[masters-of-voice]

"I think Layla is down" Nikki said still hugging Ezra happy to have someone familiar in her arms and not wanting to embarrass Vlad on front of his cool new friends

"give me something to fight with and I'm good to go"

"I never even got to participate so I'm good" Ben said masters shook his head

"no you're staying on base to help emelyne with the wounded. You're not even ready to face Christmas elves yet let alone demons of the Underworld"

[dracula-resurrected]

“Christmas elves are no joke!” Ezra said. “What they can deck your halls and slay you, don’t get me started with the Reindeer.”

Vlad quirked a brow “you fought Christmas elves?”

“Gingerbread men too, it was a crazy Christmas and I was bored.” Ezra waved it off.

[techyknight]

"that means somehow he caused it" Angela said rolling her eyes as she kissed Godwin and smiled

"I hit Lucifer in the face with mjolnir it was awesome" she said excitedly

"I think will is the only one down and Ben and I are out" shiro said "I'm safe as long as I can control the base, the whole place is my weapon and unless masters wants me to turn this whole place I to a mech I'm better off here being your eyes around the city"

[dracula-resurrected]

Will nodded, “I should sit the next part out.” He looked like he needed blood and rest.

Vlad nodded.

“Ooh Babe!” Godwin grinned. “I wanna see the security footage later!”

Ezra looked Nikki over, “Hmm, not like this you aren’t.” He snapped his fingers and the hospital like gown transformed into far better battle armor. “Now then what weapon would you like?” Ezra pulled up her hands and kissed her hands before pulling out the necklace that contained Carina’s amulet in a moment the Djinn was there. “Ok coast is clear enough for you to be here.”

Vlad stared at the Djinn and then at Nikki. “Right well our numbers just increased.”

[xtwistedwishx]

Carina smiled and cracked her knuckles

"okay for once Ezra needs wishes granted what's up, what Am I up too? Hey babe!" Carina said smiling when she spotted Nikki and kissed her gently Carina spotted will and with a snap of her fingers his burns were healed and she had a pint of blood in her hand offering it to him with a bendy straw

[dracula-resurrected]

Will had been quite drained and was leaning on Masters, “hey if I don’t make it, you take good care of Jane and the twins ok?” He patted Masters on the cheek and kissed him on the lips before passing out. That was when Carina’s magic hit him and he sat up oblivious to his previous actions he took the bottle and drank slowly.

“Firstly Layla could use a pick me up.” Arthur said. “If you don’t mind.”

“Then Honey please, she is missing a pint of demon blood.” Vlad said. “Thank you.”

[xtwistedwishx]

A few more snaps and Layla opened her eyes again and smiled cuddling into Arthur a bit more

"good morning"

"it's not morning so don't get to cuddly" Nikki said still wrapped in her boyfriend's arms Layla frowned and opened her eyes pouting

"shit it wasn't a dream?"

[dracula-resurrected]

“Afraid not.” Vlad said before giving the rundown which ended with Will kissing Masters.

Will chuckled, “that does sound like me.”

Ezra waved his hand and Layla was in battle gear. “Alright now for Honey was it?” Ezra held open the lift doors. “Not all at once there is more than one elevator.” He patted Kaleb. “You should really get our more your eyes are worth more than the stars. Heimdall.”

[masters-of-voice]

Ben quirked a brow at him

"did I miss something? Why Norse mythology?"

"long story" masters said ushering Ben to the other lift so they could get to work it wasn't going to be easy closing the gates of hell after all

[dracula-resurrected]

Ezra walked beside Nikki and Layla, “oh Carina, Bella dolce.” He pressed a kiss to her cheek. “I think we will need Sif’s weapon any chance you can locate it?”

Vlad frowned, “wait who is Sif?”

“Well if she isn’t Honey then she is somebody and they will want their weapon for this.” Ezra hummed with thought.

[masters-of-voice]

Carina raised a brow

"your eyesight is going love" Carina teased as she pointed to a glass case across the room containing some collects swords Rohan frownes

"those aren't for fighting they're just decorations" he warned quickly knowing exactly what was coming next

[dracula-resurrected]

“So break in case of emergency?” Ezra asked only party joking as he opened the cabinet and after a moment selected one, “decorative it may seem but Vlad or Thor here got really good at making ornate battle ready weapons.” He tested it. “Yes she is going to love this.” He smirked and held it, looking at Masters. “Your going to want to ask her for it back.”

Vlad looked at Masters, “sorry.” He grimaced then continued along till they got to Honey. “Honey!” He moved to her looking rather handsome in his armor. How are you?”

Ezra held out the sword, “you’re either going to need this or someone else will.” It split to become two smaller swords.

[honeystone-fashion]

Honey sat up when Vlad came in and looked him over with a smile at the new look

"I'm doing a lot better now" honey said smiling as she brushed her hair back out if her eyes she was a little confused to be handed a sword but she chose not to question it as she rested the weight in each hand before swinging them q little to get a good feel

"looks fun I'll give it a try"

[dracula-resurrected]

Ezra nodded, “would you like a battle make over too?” He gestured to the others looking Viking battle ready.

Vlad set mjolnir down and sat beside Honey, “I’m glad you are recovering.” He said earnestly. “Because I may have unleashed some of hell’s less than favorable occupants on the world.”

[honeystone-fashion]

Honey sighed and shook her head

"yeah I know I can feel the aura from outside" honey said

"that and Ava took off immediately in the phone with her family do you wont be alone out there" emelyne said smiling honey questioned for a moment before she groanes

"I heard the van Hellsings were in town I didn't know that was her!!"

[dracula-resurrected]

Ezra chuckled, “she and her family are good people. I wouldn’t worry too much about it.”

Vlad nodded, “I’m just glad I’m not alone in facing this.”

[honeystone-fashion]

Honey sighed and stood up

"alright let's get this show on the road" honey said stretching a little bit she was sure Julius was likely out there already raising hell for those who left hell so she had to go and make sure he was ok

[dracula-resurrected]

Vlad smiled.

“Once in a lifetime opportunity, to fight the forces of hell and stop the apocalypse.” Godwin said. “I think we got this, I know I do. We have everyone you could hope for to have on the apocalypse squad including the Men in Black. Norse Mythos and the Anti-Christ. Willam Shakespeare is there anyone I am missing? Oh wait and Angela the baddest ass of them all.” He kissed her.

Vlad nodded, “everyone have what they need? We should split into groups make sure that we are well spread to eliminate as much dangers as possible.”

[honeystone-fashion]

Ben sighed and sulked

"great have fun" Ben said waving masters smiled and patted his shoulder

"I'm sorry but you're still to inexperienced. Next big mission I promise you'll be on it" Rohan told him Ben obviously didn't look very hopeful it Rohan wasn't to bothered by it either as he headed out

"alright I've got to lead what's left of my men here and divide them but I'll be joining you once I can, Kaleb go with them and watch their backs keep an eye out for Ava and make sure she knows who is friend as well" Rohan said to him honey nodded a bit before she headed for the door

"let's go we have a lot of ground to cyber and not a lot of time to do it"

[dracula-resurrected]

Vlad looked at Ben, “when this is over whatever weapon you want me to forge for you, I will endeavor to do my best.” He smiled honestly at Ben.

Kaleb went with them, “alright Angela Godwin Me, Nikki, Loki, Carina was it? Honey Vlad and Layla. Someone for Air some one for the ground and some one for behind.”

[geekhunter101]

"you forgot Arthur" Layla said looping her arm around Arthur she pressed a kiss to his vheek

"unless you want to stay here with Ben and the doctor?" Dhe added to him

"I can get air support I can do a bit of floating" Carina said smiling

"I can take you the rear" Angela said she joked by squeezing Godwin's tush before she took up the position

[dracula-resurrected]

Arthur nodded, “actually I think it would be best if I stayed here, I’m not really battle savvy and the doctor could use an extra pair of hands, I’m certified so my strengths are here.” He kissed Layla. “Just return to me in one piece?”

Godwin smirked at Angela, “Careful or I might get ideas.”

Vlad rolled his eyes, “Why don’t we get going before we end up being the only ones not doing inappropriate things.” He said to Honey.

[geekhunter101]

Honey laughed

"I mean we could do inappropriate things" honey teased him Angela laughed a bit and looked at Godwin

"keep those in mind for later ok?" She asked him

Layla kissed Arthur quickly

"I'll always come back to you, just be careful I only trust these guys like 30%" Layla said glancing around the base again with a frown

[dracula-resurrected]

Vlad frowned at Honey out of confusion. “You would want to do that with me?” He honesty didn’t think she thought that way about him and barely remembered what had happened in the infirmary before getting to taste her blood. “I mean I would with you... and...” he blushed. “I’m shutting up now.” He looked away.

Ezra sighed, “oh dear sweet Sleipnir, you really need to get a room you two. Please for Vlad’s sake.”

[geekhunter101]

Honey smirked a little bit

"save the world first find a few rooms later" honey told them before she headed out Angela close behind master sword and shield in hand

[dracula-resurrected]

Vlad walked out looking around at the world, everything he saw, “this is my fault so it is only right that I fix it. Thank you for helping me.” Vlad smiled at them. “I could think of no better group of warriors to lead into battle.”

Ezra sighed, “stop you’re making me nauseated with all the sentiment. Last I checked this is a battle not a play. Cause if it were I would be seated back watching Nikki perform.”

Large demonic creatures were causing chaos and destruction through the city.

Kit looked at Hades, “after this we are not leaving the bedroom for at least a week to sleep another to do naughty things we could only dream about. Then another week to just cuddle.” He brought up a tangle of vines to stop a few demons in their tracks for Hades to burn down. “Have I told you I love you?”

[dracs-descendant]

Hades grinned and pulled kit close

"three weeks of sleep and passion? Why didn't the apocalypse happen sooner?" Hades asked as he incinerated the lower level demons and kissed kit lovingly before letting him go and taking his hand as he hurried off to fight demons and save the world

--

Nikki laughed

"no need to be so dramatic we got your back" Nikki promised Vlad as she drew her sword proudly

"let's get started we have a lot of clean up to do!"

[dracula-resurrected]

Vlad swung the hammer knocking back demons slaughtering them ast why dared to come near him or hurt people. His eyes caught sight of Angela watching a larger pack of demons headed right to her. “Catch!” He threw the hammer to her so she could use it to send them flying.

[geekhunter101]

Angela looked up and caught the hammer she looked around not entirely sure what to do but suddenly the power of mjolnir coarser through her and she slammed the hammer down into the ground. The ground burst with literal waved of electricity that rolled and crashed through and over the pavement before incinerating the demons Angela's eyes stopped glowing as she stood up amazed

"please tell me some how that's on video" Angela said tossing the hammer back

For a twenty dollar tip one could have him sing from a choice of songs that were provided on a easel next to the jar. Songs like ‘What is Love?’, to ‘Careless Whisper’, all the way to ‘Bad Romance’. It was a busy night and the sounds of rolling dice filled the air.

[masters-of-voice]

Nikki stepped back when the door began to melt and worries it was those creatures that had dragged them in there,Layla was still out if it and Nikki knew she had to protect her sister, she stood ready and the moment a person appeared she punched it square in the face as hard as she could only to realize a second layer just who it was

"oh my gosh Ezra!? I'm so sorry I didn't- what are you doing here?! Oh my gosh" Nikki tried to look over his face to see how bad she had hurt him masters burst into laughter on the spot

[dracula-resurrected]

Ezra chuckled and swooped her down into a deep and passionate kiss. “Hello Nikki darling.”

Vlad was beyond brimming with a brilliant smile as he hurried over and hurried to Layla scooping her up. Don’t worry I’ve got you.” He told Layla. “We need to get her to Dr. Emelyne then. We need to get the streets cleared and hell sealed back up. Will you all help me? Please?” Vlad asked.

[geekhunter101]

Angela smiled at him

"as long as I get mjolnir back at the end" Angela said she thought the whole thing was cute "and my boyfriend where is Godwin?" Angela asked she would have thought he would have joined them by now

[dracula-resurrected]

The elevator door opened and Godwin Arthur stepped out guns blazing. “Aww we missed it... Babe!” He ran over to Angela. “There is my fine Warrior woman!”

Vlad took Layla and laid her on the nearest bed while Arthur hurried to her. Vlad put back on the bracer and looked around, “alright head count who is up who is down and who is ready to fight the hordes of Hell?”

[masters-of-voice]

"I think Layla is down" Nikki said still hugging Ezra happy to have someone familiar in her arms and not wanting to embarrass Vlad on front of his cool new friends

"give me something to fight with and I'm good to go"

"I never even got to participate so I'm good" Ben said masters shook his head

"no you're staying on base to help emelyne with the wounded. You're not even ready to face Christmas elves yet let alone demons of the Underworld"

[dracula-resurrected]

“Christmas elves are no joke!” Ezra said. “What they can deck your halls and slay you, don’t get me started with the Reindeer.”

Vlad quirked a brow “you fought Christmas elves?”

“Gingerbread men too, it was a crazy Christmas and I was bored.” Ezra waved it off.

[techyknight]

"that means somehow he caused it" Angela said rolling her eyes as she kissed Godwin and smiled

"I hit Lucifer in the face with mjolnir it was awesome" she said excitedly

"I think will is the only one down and Ben and I are out" shiro said "I'm safe as long as I can control the base, the whole place is my weapon and unless masters wants me to turn this whole place I to a mech I'm better off here being your eyes around the city"

[dracula-resurrected]

Will nodded, “I should sit the next part out.” He looked like he needed blood and rest.

Vlad nodded.

“Ooh Babe!” Godwin grinned. “I wanna see the security footage later!”

Ezra looked Nikki over, “Hmm, not like this you aren’t.” He snapped his fingers and the hospital like gown transformed into far better battle armor. “Now then what weapon would you like?” Ezra pulled up her hands and kissed her hands before pulling out the necklace that contained Carina’s amulet in a moment the Djinn was there. “Ok coast is clear enough for you to be here.”

Vlad stared at the Djinn and then at Nikki. “Right well our numbers just increased.”

[xtwistedwishx]

Carina smiled and cracked her knuckles

"okay for once Ezra needs wishes granted what's up, what Am I up too? Hey babe!" Carina said smiling when she spotted Nikki and kissed her gently Carina spotted will and with a snap of her fingers his burns were healed and she had a pint of blood in her hand offering it to him with a bendy straw

[dracula-resurrected]

Will had been quite drained and was leaning on Masters, “hey if I don’t make it, you take good care of Jane and the twins ok?” He patted Masters on the cheek and kissed him on the lips before passing out. That was when Carina’s magic hit him and he sat up oblivious to his previous actions he took the bottle and drank slowly.

“Firstly Layla could use a pick me up.” Arthur said. “If you don’t mind.”

“Then Honey please, she is missing a pint of demon blood.” Vlad said. “Thank you.”

[xtwistedwishx]

A few more snaps and Layla opened her eyes again and smiled cuddling into Arthur a bit more

"good morning"

"it's not morning so don't get to cuddly" Nikki said still wrapped in her boyfriend's arms Layla frowned and opened her eyes pouting

"shit it wasn't a dream?"

[dracula-resurrected]

“Afraid not.” Vlad said before giving the rundown which ended with Will kissing Masters.

Will chuckled, “that does sound like me.”

Ezra waved his hand and Layla was in battle gear. “Alright now for Honey was it?” Ezra held open the lift doors. “Not all at once there is more than one elevator.” He patted Kaleb. “You should really get our more your eyes are worth more than the stars. Heimdall.”

[masters-of-voice]

Ben quirked a brow at him

"did I miss something? Why Norse mythology?"

"long story" masters said ushering Ben to the other lift so they could get to work it wasn't going to be easy closing the gates of hell after all

[dracula-resurrected]

Ezra walked beside Nikki and Layla, “oh Carina, Bella dolce.” He pressed a kiss to her cheek. “I think we will need Sif’s weapon any chance you can locate it?”

Vlad frowned, “wait who is Sif?”

“Well if she isn’t Honey then she is somebody and they will want their weapon for this.” Ezra hummed with thought.

[masters-of-voice]

Carina raised a brow

"your eyesight is going love" Carina teased as she pointed to a glass case across the room containing some collects swords Rohan frownes

"those aren't for fighting they're just decorations" he warned quickly knowing exactly what was coming next

[dracula-resurrected]

“So break in case of emergency?” Ezra asked only party joking as he opened the cabinet and after a moment selected one, “decorative it may seem but Vlad or Thor here got really good at making ornate battle ready weapons.” He tested it. “Yes she is going to love this.” He smirked and held it, looking at Masters. “Your going to want to ask her for it back.”

Vlad looked at Masters, “sorry.” He grimaced then continued along till they got to Honey. “Honey!” He moved to her looking rather handsome in his armor. How are you?”

Ezra held out the sword, “you’re either going to need this or someone else will.” It split to become two smaller swords.

[honeystone-fashion]

Honey sat up when Vlad came in and looked him over with a smile at the new look

"I'm doing a lot better now" honey said smiling as she brushed her hair back out if her eyes she was a little confused to be handed a sword but she chose not to question it as she rested the weight in each hand before swinging them q little to get a good feel

"looks fun I'll give it a try"

[dracula-resurrected]

Ezra nodded, “would you like a battle make over too?” He gestured to the others looking Viking battle ready.

Vlad set mjolnir down and sat beside Honey, “I’m glad you are recovering.” He said earnestly. “Because I may have unleashed some of hell’s less than favorable occupants on the world.”

[honeystone-fashion]

Honey sighed and shook her head

"yeah I know I can feel the aura from outside" honey said

"that and Ava took off immediately in the phone with her family do you wont be alone out there" emelyne said smiling honey questioned for a moment before she groanes

"I heard the van Hellsings were in town I didn't know that was her!!"

[dracula-resurrected]

Ezra chuckled, “she and her family are good people. I wouldn’t worry too much about it.”

Vlad nodded, “I’m just glad I’m not alone in facing this.”

[honeystone-fashion]

Honey sighed and stood up

"alright let's get this show on the road" honey said stretching a little bit she was sure Julius was likely out there already raising hell for those who left hell so she had to go and make sure he was ok

[dracula-resurrected]

Vlad smiled.

“Once in a lifetime opportunity, to fight the forces of hell and stop the apocalypse.” Godwin said. “I think we got this, I know I do. We have everyone you could hope for to have on the apocalypse squad including the Men in Black. Norse Mythos and the Anti-Christ. Willam Shakespeare is there anyone I am missing? Oh wait and Angela the baddest ass of them all.” He kissed her.

Vlad nodded, “everyone have what they need? We should split into groups make sure that we are well spread to eliminate as much dangers as possible.”

[honeystone-fashion]

Ben sighed and sulked

"great have fun" Ben said waving masters smiled and patted his shoulder

"I'm sorry but you're still to inexperienced. Next big mission I promise you'll be on it" Rohan told him Ben obviously didn't look very hopeful it Rohan wasn't to bothered by it either as he headed out

"alright I've got to lead what's left of my men here and divide them but I'll be joining you once I can, Kaleb go with them and watch their backs keep an eye out for Ava and make sure she knows who is friend as well" Rohan said to him honey nodded a bit before she headed for the door

"let's go we have a lot of ground to cyber and not a lot of time to do it"

[dracula-resurrected]

Vlad looked at Ben, “when this is over whatever weapon you want me to forge for you, I will endeavor to do my best.” He smiled honestly at Ben.

Kaleb went with them, “alright Angela Godwin Me, Nikki, Loki, Carina was it? Honey Vlad and Layla. Someone for Air some one for the ground and some one for behind.”

[geekhunter101]

"you forgot Arthur" Layla said looping her arm around Arthur she pressed a kiss to his vheek

"unless you want to stay here with Ben and the doctor?" Dhe added to him

"I can get air support I can do a bit of floating" Carina said smiling

"I can take you the rear" Angela said she joked by squeezing Godwin's tush before she took up the position

[dracula-resurrected]

Arthur nodded, “actually I think it would be best if I stayed here, I’m not really battle savvy and the doctor could use an extra pair of hands, I’m certified so my strengths are here.” He kissed Layla. “Just return to me in one piece?”

Godwin smirked at Angela, “Careful or I might get ideas.”

Vlad rolled his eyes, “Why don’t we get going before we end up being the only ones not doing inappropriate things.” He said to Honey.

[geekhunter101]

Honey laughed

"I mean we could do inappropriate things" honey teased him Angela laughed a bit and looked at Godwin

"keep those in mind for later ok?" She asked him

Layla kissed Arthur quickly

"I'll always come back to you, just be careful I only trust these guys like 30%" Layla said glancing around the base again with a frown

[dracula-resurrected]

Vlad frowned at Honey out of confusion. “You would want to do that with me?” He honesty didn’t think she thought that way about him and barely remembered what had happened in the infirmary before getting to taste her blood. “I mean I would with you... and...” he blushed. “I’m shutting up now.” He looked away.

Ezra sighed, “oh dear sweet Sleipnir, you really need to get a room you two. Please for Vlad’s sake.”

[geekhunter101]

Honey smirked a little bit

"save the world first find a few rooms later" honey told them before she headed out Angela close behind master sword and shield in hand

Vlad stared at the tincture before he downed it gagging. According to every doctor he had the worlds worst case of Anemia. He took his steak rarer than most would and his canines were far more prominent than others but that was fine. His skin burned easier in the sun that was fine too! He didn’t have a job outside so he could avoid that. Life was good, he made decent pay enough to cover expenses and a bit to put away for the rainy day or when his health bill was too much. Fruit helped.... that was the part the doctors couldn’t explain, why the fruit alleviated the symptoms. He had always been pale and stick like, but he figured he just couldn’t keep on weight.

Sometimes he had nightmares, ones that passed through his mind and stayed in the far back. Visions of himself soaked in blood, the bodies so many bodies, the smell of fire, brimstone and everything laid to waste. A firey crown perched over his head and a cry of anguish from his lips as he sat back upon a twisted throne and looked on at his work before him. Made for a good DnD plot.

His service dog was an enormous fluffball named Cerberus, though he didn’t start out so big, what had once been a five pound fluff had become a hundred thirty pound mass of muscle and fluff. Cerberus was a very protective dog and while he says that he saved Cerberus it was the other way around. He still thinks it was a dream, there was no way that the dog’s mouth unhinged and swallowed a gun.

Days passed the same, either working at the Bar, tending his bees, or playing video games till the crack of dawn pierced his red-eyed gaze. He attended the local university and was making his way in getting a doctorate in History. Having been praised for his writing and essays. The most common was, “you must have lived there in a past life!!!” He chuckled but honestly his dreams were rather vivid of things he shouldn’t know. He specifically had latched onto history of Eastern Europe.

Vlad currently was shaking a martini up at his job, dressed like a bard he acted as bartender. For a twenty dollar tip one could have him sing from a choice of songs that were provided on a easel next to the jar. Songs like ‘What is Love?’, to ‘Careless Whisper’, all the way to ‘Bad Romance’.

Ben quirked a brow at him

"did I miss something? Why Norse mythology?"

"long story" masters said ushering Ben to the other lift so they could get to work it wasn't going to be easy closing the gates of hell after all

[dracula-resurrected]

Ezra walked beside Nikki and Layla, “oh Carina, Bella dolce.” He pressed a kiss to her cheek. “I think we will need Sif’s weapon any chance you can locate it?”

Vlad frowned, “wait who is Sif?”

“Well if she isn’t Honey then she is somebody and they will want their weapon for this.” Ezra hummed with thought.

[masters-of-voice]

Carina raised a brow

"your eyesight is going love" Carina teased as she pointed to a glass case across the room containing some collects swords Rohan frownes

"those aren't for fighting they're just decorations" he warned quickly knowing exactly what was coming next

[dracula-resurrected]

“So break in case of emergency?” Ezra asked only party joking as he opened the cabinet and after a moment selected one, “decorative it may seem but Vlad or Thor here got really good at making ornate battle ready weapons.” He tested it. “Yes she is going to love this.” He smirked and held it, looking at Masters. “Your going to want to ask her for it back.”

Vlad looked at Masters, “sorry.” He grimaced then continued along till they got to Honey. “Honey!” He moved to her looking rather handsome in his armor. How are you?”

Ezra held out the sword, “you’re either going to need this or someone else will.” It split to become two smaller swords.

[honeystone-fashion]

Honey sat up when Vlad came in and looked him over with a smile at the new look

"I'm doing a lot better now" honey said smiling as she brushed her hair back out if her eyes she was a little confused to be handed a sword but she chose not to question it as she rested the weight in each hand before swinging them q little to get a good feel

"looks fun I'll give it a try"

[dracula-resurrected]

Ezra nodded, “would you like a battle make over too?” He gestured to the others looking Viking battle ready.

Vlad set mjolnir down and sat beside Honey, “I’m glad you are recovering.” He said earnestly. “Because I may have unleashed some of hell’s less than favorable occupants on the world.”

[honeystone-fashion]

Honey sighed and shook her head

"yeah I know I can feel the aura from outside" honey said

"that and Ava took off immediately in the phone with her family do you wont be alone out there" emelyne said smiling honey questioned for a moment before she groanes

"I heard the van Hellsings were in town I didn't know that was her!!"

[dracula-resurrected]

Ezra chuckled, “she and her family are good people. I wouldn’t worry too much about it.”

Vlad nodded, “I’m just glad I’m not alone in facing this.”

[honeystone-fashion]

Honey sighed and stood up

"alright let's get this show on the road" honey said stretching a little bit she was sure Julius was likely out there already raising hell for those who left hell so she had to go and make sure he was ok

[dracula-resurrected]

Vlad smiled.

“Once in a lifetime opportunity, to fight the forces of hell and stop the apocalypse.” Godwin said. “I think we got this, I know I do. We have everyone you could hope for to have on the apocalypse squad including the Men in Black. Norse Mythos and the Anti-Christ. Willam Shakespeare is there anyone I am missing? Oh wait and Angela the baddest ass of them all.” He kissed her.

Vlad nodded, “everyone have what they need? We should split into groups make sure that we are well spread to eliminate as much dangers as possible.”

[honeystone-fashion]

Ben sighed and sulked

"great have fun" Ben said waving masters smiled and patted his shoulder

"I'm sorry but you're still to inexperienced. Next big mission I promise you'll be on it" Rohan told him Ben obviously didn't look very hopeful it Rohan wasn't to bothered by it either as he headed out

"alright I've got to lead what's left of my men here and divide them but I'll be joining you once I can, Kaleb go with them and watch their backs keep an eye out for Ava and make sure she knows who is friend as well" Rohan said to him honey nodded a bit before she headed for the door

"let's go we have a lot of ground to cyber and not a lot of time to do it"

[dracula-resurrected]

Vlad looked at Ben, “when this is over whatever weapon you want me to forge for you, I will endeavor to do my best.” He smiled honestly at Ben.

Kaleb went with them, “alright Angela Godwin Me, Nikki, Loki, Carina was it? Honey Vlad and Layla. Someone for Air some one for the ground and some one for behind.”

[geekhunter101]

"you forgot Arthur" Layla said looping her arm around Arthur she pressed a kiss to his vheek

"unless you want to stay here with Ben and the doctor?" Dhe added to him

"I can get air support I can do a bit of floating" Carina said smiling

"I can take you the rear" Angela said she joked by squeezing Godwin's tush before she took up the position

Vlad stared at the tincture before he downed it gagging. According to every doctor he had the worlds worst case of Anemia. He took his steak rarer than most would and his canines were far more prominent than others but that was fine. His skin burned easier in the sun that was fine too! He didn’t have a job outside so he could avoid that. Life was good, he made decent pay enough to cover expenses and a bit to put away for the rainy day or when his health bill was too much. Fruit helped.... that was the part the doctors couldn’t explain, why the fruit alleviated the symptoms. He had always been pale and stick like, but he figured he just couldn’t keep on weight.

Sometimes he had nightmares, ones that passed through his mind and stayed in the far back. Visions of himself soaked in blood, the bodies so many bodies, the smell of fire, brimstone and everything laid to waste. A firey crown perched over his head and a cry of anguish from his lips as he sat back upon a twisted throne and looked on at his work before him. Made for a good DnD plot.

His service dog was an enormous fluffball named Cerberus, though he didn’t start out so big, what had once been a five pound fluff had become a hundred thirty pound mass of muscle and fluff. Cerberus was a very protective dog and while he says that he saved Cerberus it was the other way around. He still thinks it was a dream, there was no way that the dog’s mouth unhinged and swallowed a gun.

Days passed the same, either working at the Bar, tending his bees, or playing video games till the crack of dawn pierced his red-eyed gaze. He attended the local university and was making his way in getting a doctorate in History. Having been praised for his writing and essays. The most common was, “you must have lived there in a past life!!!” He chuckled but honestly his dreams were rather vivid of things he shouldn’t know. He specifically had latched onto history of Eastern Europe.

Vlad currently was shaking a martini up at his job, dressed like a bard he acted as bartender. For a twenty dollar tip one could have him sing from a choice of songs that were provided on a easel next to the jar. Songs like ‘What is Love?’, to ‘Careless Whisper’, all the way to ‘Bad Romance’. It was a busy night and the sounds of rolling dice filled the air.

[masters-of-voice]

Nikki stepped back when the door began to melt and worries it was those creatures that had dragged them in there,Layla was still out if it and Nikki knew she had to protect her sister, she stood ready and the moment a person appeared she punched it square in the face as hard as she could only to realize a second layer just who it was

"oh my gosh Ezra!? I'm so sorry I didn't- what are you doing here?! Oh my gosh" Nikki tried to look over his face to see how bad she had hurt him masters burst into laughter on the spot

[dracula-resurrected]

Ezra chuckled and swooped her down into a deep and passionate kiss. “Hello Nikki darling.”

Vlad was beyond brimming with a brilliant smile as he hurried over and hurried to Layla scooping her up. Don’t worry I’ve got you.” He told Layla. “We need to get her to Dr. Emelyne then. We need to get the streets cleared and hell sealed back up. Will you all help me? Please?” Vlad asked.

[geekhunter101]

Angela smiled at him

"as long as I get mjolnir back at the end" Angela said she thought the whole thing was cute "and my boyfriend where is Godwin?" Angela asked she would have thought he would have joined them by now
