*nods* Thanks, Janus. *Pauses* Can I ask a favor of ya? -🥞

Janus glances over at the sunrise. "Make it quick. I have to speak to Wyatt soon enough about why we're in this town again."

[ask-the-western-sides]

Containment, huh? It's a start. Any clues how to do it? -🥞

Janus glances up to the second story of a nearby building. "Fellow in there named Logan. I think you know what I'm getting at. He's got a halo."

[ask-the-western-sides]

Huh. *Rubs their neck, recalling their last life* Of course. So, i don't have much goals other than getting my friends to survive this mess. And I consider you one of them. What's your plans so far, Janny? -🥞

"Well. Adesina is not an easy Daemon to beat." Janus inhales, leaning back against the wall and nursing her cigar for a moment. "He personally killed 10,000 Angelic Souls. He has tortured Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael. He has been banished to this Timeline for killing over three dozen Fae of the high courts, and he is a very personal thorn in my family's side. Killing him is a feat even the gods have not managed. But... we can contain him."

[ask-the-western-sides]

Didn't know you could smell that, Janus. 'Sides, not like I know how to hide that. *Shrugs* I've heard. Apparently I'm neutral enough that a kind fae was willing to help me. So, where do you land in this, friend? -🥞

Janus rolls her eyes slightly. "Mm. A neutral party, for now. A far greater Daemon is about to ricochet through this place unless we manage to stop or slow him down. A man by the name of Adesina. A fire beast."

[ask-the-western-sides]

I don't smoke. But the name's Simon. And you are? -🥞

"I have an inkling you know."

Janus swirls her hand, lighting the cigar herself with a flash of magic, taking a draft. "Ah... so. Have you heard of the battlefield taking shape here? You reek of Fae magic. Might want to try and hide that more."

*Charlie leans over to Roman, half whispering and waving a hand in Januss direction*

Whos that?

- ☀️

"Janus."

Janus fixes her hat after Remus knocked it off, gesturing. "Please, gentlemen. I have to speak with you."

After awhile of talking, you and Roman finalize the papers for the cattle he brought after agreeing with Janus to finish the meeting at the hall.

The dance is in full swing when you and Roman walk in at sunset, heading up to the loft where Janus waits, sliding over cocktails.

Roman takes one, sitting by her. "Alright. Why the hell are you back in town?"

*Stelios rushes outside, looking for the noise. Ready to try and fight, having been practicing moving waters, anything with water in it too.* -🥞

Janus is on the porch, and she blocks you, raising a hand. "Stelios-! Please. Patton is going to check it out- if you're going to, be stealthy and careful. Let him handle unless it goes south."

Ember sighs loudly, storming off to go free her bug back into the grass. Luca rolls their eyes at their sister's dramatics and shrugs their jacket back on. They glance over at Janus quietly, brow furrowing a bit.

"Everything alright?"

-🦎/🔥 (sorry but i am what's known in the industry as "autistic as fuck" and i have literally zero clue what's being implied /lh)

Janus blinks. "Hm-? Ah. No, yes, I'm fine, I promise."

She hums softly, smiling. "... I just forgot what it feels like to be pregnant. That's all."
