All the grace and Finesse of a charging Rhinoceros

As the others begin going about there business getting ready for the upcoming covert, mission? Test? no matter. I begin by cleaning up the remains of an old style training doll. A decision i soon regret as my attempt at a shower is thwarted by my dear Kaija. I am pretty sure she takes longer just to try and use up all the hot water. giving up that battle as lost. I return to my room to get my clothing ready. only to have the performance repeated with Lilly. I have the indication that this is revenge for the rough handling earlier Putting on my Vampire Gloves, and the boots that match, no i am not forgetting them this time. I decide to have some fun and climb up so i am looking down from above the door. and wait No one is stopping my pre-mission shower this time. My change of cloths left in a folded pile by the door.

Lily emerges, wrapped in an oversized towel while wrapping her hair up in a smaller one as she walks down the hall and disappears into her room.

with a laugh i twirl through the door. . . only to have no hot water, I am shortly out, shivering fully dressed and slightly blue. Oh well maybe i can freak Kaija and the others out for Just a moment thinking i am a zombie again. if only till I warm up.

A blue blur darts between Liam's ankles as another, tawny figure, giggling in a voice like a wind-chime, lands its fifteen and a quarter pounds on his head before kicking off after Sylus.

"got into the catnip you two?" I call after the cats carefully trying to keep my voice slightly monotone more like it used to be, if only for a little fun "careful we have a new room mate so be nice" I can't help but laugh as they dart around the corner

Sylus shouts over his shoulder as they vanish, "We'll be good... And the blue suits you, Dead Man!" The giggling begins again and Sylus screeches out of sight behind the corner, before there is a distinct thump and crash.

"gee Thanks Catbird. though i thought you were supposed to chase not her" I chuckle again as i go to the kitchen to wait for the others

I finally grab my turn in the shower. Liam was being a terrible baby about the cold water; I've dived into water far colder than this. In fact, it's rather nice. I wring my hair out, then tie it into a tight bun, out of the way. I pull on the pair of jeans I ripped the knees out of down in the caverns beneath the Nightside, and tug on a tight black shirt. I nod. Ready.
Walking down the hall, I take a seat at the kitchen table, pulling my long blade from my boot and its whetstone from my satchel, sharpening it slowly. In my head, I run through glamoury methods I might need to use, the many ways to change the way our little group might be seen by others, running the gambit from looking like something else to looking like we're not there at all. Liam comes out of the kitchen, nursing a mug of tea. I glance at him, and laugh. "Are you actually shivering? Whatever happened to the cold Northern sea in your blood?"

"this group of crazy people replaced it with living blood again" I stick out my tongue at her "and we may be able to use that to get in without needing to break in" I take out a somewhat withered apple from my pocket "if we play our cards right"

I cock my head curiously. "Explain?"

"we will wait for the others" I smile taking a hazlenut and acorn from my pocket aswell "they were on the ground when you brought me back so i saved them in case someone else was condemned the way I was." I shrug "but they gave me an idea if you and Dejhuty are willing to work together on something" I am pretty sure the answer will be yes

I shrug. "Anything's worth a try, I suppose."
After a short time, everyone rings the table, as ready for battle as they ever are; Djhuety with his long coat on, Ignacy grinning and armed enough for two men, Kaija grinning slightly with two blades at her waist, Lily looking solemn. I stand, pulling my satchel over my shoulder. "We all ready?" There are nods around the circle.

"How about a plan first" I smirk "for once anyway"

i smile and say "i say we go in there and kill them" i look thoughtful "unless we need information in which case we kill them till they tell us what we want to know".

"Ignacy!" both Djhuety and I exclaim in exasperation. "Hush." I say shortly. Then I turn back to Liam. "I take it you've got something in mind?"

"yes" my smile becomes a bit crueler "we play on his vainity, on his ego. with that we don't need to unlock a door he will let us in" then glancing at Lilly where she stands in the door way trying not to appear to be listening "we offer information even the collector would kill for. in exchange for the info we need or the " my look becomes calmer "then we take the info to juilian advent or we kill them i haven't gotten that far yet"

I nod slowly. "If you have a way to pull it off...because if we don't manage it the first time, we won't be given a second chance."

"I do this is where you and Dejuty come in" I smile "you are a bard and he is a storyteller, or a lore keeper." I grin "so we tell a story about how this source a limitless wealth, lets say a gold band that would drop gold bands of equal weight, every few days, and how it was lost but is guarded by an eldrich beast. lets say a giant serpent?" my head tilts to the side "and that we found it. and it is here in the nightside. by now the room would be absolutly packed with gold. that should make him salivate enough to fill a swimming pool. to top it off we tell him that we found his ring at the place marking him to be the one to get it. eldrich beasty gets snack we get information and we are all happier"

I shake my head. "There's no way he'd be crazy enough to go himself. He'd send a subordinate. Unless..." I look over at Lily. "unless someone effects his emotions..."

" Looks like you are coming too 'Putian' guess you don't have an out" I smirk wondering how long it will take her to get annoyed with the nick-name "and it is a chance for revenge"

Lily nods silently, grimacing... "I have to touch him again?" I quickly hide a smile.

I smile, and the smile is cold. "Do this, Lily, and you'll be sending the man to his just rewards."

"If its a chance to ruin him, then I'm in. But remember, he knows my face..."

I nod before touching her shoulder, "Not to worry; our bard can fix you up so that no living being will know its you."

"A good glamoury would be fairly easy." I say, looking her over. "Yes...hmmm...what do you want to look like?"

"Anything that makes his willy want to curl up and hide." She tenses and seems to prepare herself for the worst. "Just make it quick." She swallows hard and closes her eyes.
