Are you going to be able to drive?

*she pops out of cupboard and walks into the room grinning*
Hello Inky!!

Edward Fletcher said...

(Hello Dugglyn)

Inky Flame said...

*looks at Dug* Hey...can you help me please?

John said...

*A hand reaches up from the shadows and grabs Inky, pulling her down. A few moments later she's spat out of the dark near Trip's bar*

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

(Hey Ed! How be's yous?! How be's yous eyes?!)

Inky Flame said...

(I am good, so are my eyes...still as blue as ever)

*pouts* hmm

Edward Fletcher said...

Am I forgiven?

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Claire: I'm sure.


Dark Hunter: *pulls out a notepad and paper* *writes, "Who? What? When? Where? Why?"*

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

*she hears Inky and Ed talking and she follows the sound of their v poo ices*
*when she sees them she pulls out her phone and texts Sil 'infront of Trip's bar's*

Inky Flame said...

Edward Fletcher said...

Man: I wish for you to destroy everything Edward Fletcher cares about. Make him suffer. Now what is the fee?

Dark Hunter: *tilts his head* *writes, "Why? Who are you?"*

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

*grins and points in their direction*
They just went inside.

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Claire: *races through the portal, slowing down as soon as she reaches the other side* *pulls up next to their house, switching off the engine* We need to talk.

Inky Flame said...

*grins* you are forgiven *drinks*

Edward Fletcher said...

Man: For revenge. I am the leader of the high council

Edward Fletcher said...

Really, all it took was a drink and I am forgiven?

Inky Flame said...

*blushes* well you are my mate...

Edward Fletcher said...

True *drinks*

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Dark Hunter: *"Name?"*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

You need to sleep.


()
*frowns*
Why are you telling me?

Garret Falcone said...

(Hello Dugg and Blake how be you both?)
*shadow walks to Inky's cottage and goes to my secret door that only I, Inky and Raven know about*
*it opens with loud clunk*

Edward Fletcher said...

Man: Why do you need my name? I will pay you for the job

Inky Flame said...

Tawnee: *wanders around aimlessly*

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

*shrugs*
Bored.
(Gtg, pie!)

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Claire: I need to speak to you before. *climbs off her motorbike, walking to the front door, unlocking it*


Dark Hunter: *underlines "Name?"*

Edward Fletcher said...

(Bye Dugglyn)

How about the Aztecs? A trip back in time

Inky Flame said...

(byii Dug)

Edward Fletcher said...

Man: Fine, my name is Gamma

The Grave of a Coward said...

*the Midnight Hotel rises out of the ground*



*finishes sadly packing all the Halloween decorations*
*picks up the last cardboard box*
*and begins lugging it up to the attic*


(I've been getting requests for Clara's backstory for a while now, so here, for the first time ever, is a taste of it! Enjoy!)

Inky Flame said...

*eyes brighten* that would be awesome !

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Okay..
*gets off the motorbike and follows her inside*
We also need to fix your leg..

Inky Flame said...

(Hey Anni! how art thou?)

Edward Fletcher said...

(Hello Annika, how be you?)

Very well, the Aztecs *opens portal*

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Claire: Talk first.



Dark Hunter: *writes, "Gamma what?"*

Inky Flame said...

*steps through the portal*
*grins*

The Grave of a Coward said...

*the attic is dark and dusty, like all attics*
*the floorboards creak dangerously as she sets down the last Halloween box next to its fellows*

*grimaces*
*brushes dust off hands*

I hate it up here.

*turns to go back to the ladder*
*picking her way gingerly across the dank, disgusting attic*

*trips over a stack of papers*
*and lands with an ear-splitting crash*

The Grave of a Coward said...

(I'm doing REALLY good, actually! I was one of the winners of the big SP Twitter giveaway!)

Edward Fletcher said...

Gamma: Just Gamma


*The portal opens on top of a large pyramid* Well, what do you think?

Inky Flame said...

(congratulations *huggles*)

Edward Fletcher said...

(Well done Annika)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*sighs*
*closes the door behind them, picking Claire up and carrying her to the sofa, laying her down*

Inky Flame said...

*smiles sweetly at him* its brilliant, like you

Edward Fletcher said...

Why than you, as are you *grins* So, what first a sacrifice?

The Grave of a Coward said...

*furiously brushes self off*
*scrambles around, trying to re-orient the papers*

Curse it all . . . curse it all to hell . . .

*picks up the papers with two fingers*
*the papers are all yellowed and aged, with ink bleeding through*
*one of them rips in her hands*

Blast!
*throws it angrily down on top of the pile*

*the header catches her eye*

*THE ESTATE OF THE ESTEEMED AMELIA AND ARDENT CROWLEY*

Garret Falcone said...

(Hello, Clars *offers huggle* well done with the competition, and how be you?)
*returns from my secret room with a bag*
*closes the door and hides it away again*
*shadow walks to Tawnee*

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Claire: Why did you cut yourself? Why did you punch a lamppost?



Dark Hunter: *writes, "Can you give me a reason why I should not kill you right here?"*

Edward Fletcher said...

Gamma: I am hiring you for a job, I have answered your questions. *sighs* I will pay you double

Inky Flame said...

Aww thanks *smiles which turns into a frown* sacrifice?


Tawnee: *sees Gar* hello sweetie
*baby bump is slowly getting bigger*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

I punched the lamppost because...*struggles to think of the right phrasing* because...I got frustrated...not with you, with myself.

Edward Fletcher said...

Yes, a sacrifice. Shall we?

The Grave of a Coward said...

*sits down heavily*
*picks up the paper, and begins to read*

*the paper reads as follows:*

THE ESTATE OF THE ESTEEMED AMELIA AND ARDENT CROWLEY

Dear John -

I am so honored that we had the opportunity to meet you yesterday. You were very charming, and I can see you've been working on your manners. Well done! You're precisely the sort of child we've been looking for, and we would very much like to bring you home with us, as soon as time permits. We've also heard that you have a sister- is this true? If it is, we would very much like to meet her. If she is anything like you, we're certain that she will grow up to be a fine lady indeed.

- A. Crowley

Inky Flame said...

What sort of sacrifice?

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Claire: Why?



Dark Hunter: *"So no, you cannot give me a reason not to kill you"*

Edward Fletcher said...

A human sacrifice, why?

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

*pops head out of water*

Hey, Clara.

Hello, Blogland!

Edward Fletcher said...

Gamma: Here is a reason, you kill me and my entire world will be hunting you for the rest of your life. Why will you not do this job?

Inky Flame said...

(*huggles Kas the awesomenaut* hey)
*jaw drops* I am not sacrificing a innocent human

Edward Fletcher said...

(Hello Tia, how be you?)

Garret Falcone said...

Hey, *hugs her* how are you and gizmo today?

Edward Fletcher said...

*Raises eyebrow* Why not Inky?

The Grave of a Coward said...

*sits there for a moment, taking it all in*
*the letter shaking in her hands*

*slowly sets it down, atop the stack of papers*
*returns to the lobby, wiping her suddenly sweaty hands off on a handkerchief*












*the year was 1806*
*and in the heart of London, far, far away from Blogland, a boy with black hair and one green eye looked down at the letter clutched in his hand*

*quietly, very quietly, he snuck downstairs*
*put on his cloak*
*and crept out the window, into the night*

Inky Flame said...

Tawnee: we are doing fine thank you. how is the dad to be? *hugs*

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Dark Hunter: *"I do not like you"* *his hook blades extend from his wrists*

(I will be back soon.)

Inky Flame said...

(I dedicate this page to Hollywood Undead
and
To kas, you are brilliant and awesome and a great friend)

Because its not nice

Edward Fletcher said...

(Ok Soph)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*sits down, fiddling with the bandages on he wrists, not looking at Claire*
I...I couldn't protect you...for Christ's sake your only nine! You shouldn't be stuck with this life, this constant danger...you should be with a family, hanging out with friends and worrying about normal things...*puts her head in her hands* its hard to explain

Edward Fletcher said...

(Hear hear)

But, don't you want to see the sacrifice then?

The Grave of a Coward said...

*he is only nine, but he already knows the city like the back of his hand*
*he weaves in and out of alleys, keeping to the shadows*
*he keeps his cloak shut tight, to hide his choir boy's gown*

*somewhere*
*somewhere*

Somewhere . . .

*he frowns as he comes to a crossroads*
*they could've gone down either one*

*he keeps the letter pressed close to his chest*
*this is his first chance, his first real chance, to become a gentleman*

Inky Flame said...

*thinks* who is the sacrifice?

(and Thanks ^^)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Hello again.

*hugs*

I am.. average.

How are you guys?

Edward Fletcher said...

(Your welcome)

I don't know, whoever has been chosen

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Kas please change your name..)

Edward Fletcher said...

(I am fine thanks Tia)

Garret Falcone said...

I'm ok, just picked up something *points to the bag*
*gives Taw a kiss*

Inky Flame said...

I don't want to...ill only want to help them escape and I wont be able to

(*huggles kas*)

Inky Flame said...

Tawnee: ooo Whats that? *kisses*

Edward Fletcher said...

Perhaps this trip was a bad idea *they appear back in the cottage*

The Grave of a Coward said...

*before he can make a decision, he hears shouting from down the left road*
*so he takes it*


*for one moment, he allows himself to hope he won't find them*
*but he does, of course*

*they're standing on either side of an open alley*
*both tall, both dark-skinned, both with arms crossed and self-satisfied smirks*

*approaches them*
*nods to one* Bloodwell.
*nods to the other* Trent.

Bloodwell: Piss off.

I'm here to see my sister.

Trent: Ain't you listenin', then? Piss. Off.

*tries to push past*

Trent: *pushes him back* You've got money?

Of course not, Trent, I'm still at the church.

Trent: Then you ain't gettin' in. Them's the rules.


*can hear shouting and loud thumping noises from down the alley*
*and what sounds like a dog snarling*

Inky Flame said...

*frowns* it wasn't a bad idea...we could have still gone sight seeing

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

What's in a name?

Edward Fletcher said...

No, it was a bad idea

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(See that names better. It has a smiley face.)

Inky Flame said...

*frowns* why?

Garret Falcone said...

(Hear hear, Chloe,
which is your favorite song by them?)
this? *gestures to the bag* its for emergencies

Inky Flame said...

(I agree with Sil, it suits you more)

Edward Fletcher said...

It doesn't matter, next time we can visit the bar again

Inky Flame said...

(comin in hot is my fav)
Tawnee: *tilts head* emergencies? what sort of emergencies?

Inky Flame said...

*hugs* if there is anything bothering you, you can tell me

The Grave of a Coward said...

*looks boldly up at Trent*

I ain't scared of you, Trent.

Trent: Yeah?

Yeah. You're fourteen. 'Sonly five years older. And you're not so bigger, either.

Trent: You think you can take me?
*leans over him*
*laughs*
And how you gonna see me, eh?

Bloodwell: One-eyed John thinks he's going to take on me brother? Hah!

Trent: What, you think you're your sister?

*shrinks back*
*holds cloak tightly shut, as if for defense*
Sister Martha says having one eye gone means I'm gifted. She says it's a sign.

Trent: Yeah it's a sign.

Bloodwell: A sign that your parents didn't want you.

Trent: Yeah.

Bloodwell: Yeah.

Trent: Why you think they dumped you at the church with us?

. . . 'Cause they couldn't take care of me.

Bloodwell: 'Cause they didn't want no one-eyed kid.

Edward Fletcher said...

(Sil is correct)

Snow said...

*dashes in and watches Clara intently*

Snow said...

*intensely

Edward Fletcher said...

(Hello Snow)

Garret Falcone said...

You know just emergencies in general,
(my favorites are lion and levitate and kill everyone)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

()
*goes looking for Felix or Cole or someone*

Inky Flame said...

(Hey Snow ^^ how art thou?)
Tawnee: *raises eyebrows* okay now im curious

Inky Flame said...

Felix: *rides around on his motorbike*

Edward Fletcher said...

I know, its just, something changed

Inky Flame said...

*frowns* what is it Ed?

The Grave of a Coward said...


*begins shaking*
. . . If you don't let me in to see my sister . . .

Trent: Ain't your sister.

May as well be! We arrived at the church at the same time, didn't we? Yeah? We're both called Solus?

Bloodwell: *high-pitched voice* John and Jane Solus, John and Jane Solus. Shut the blinkin' hell UP about John and Jane Solus!

Trent: They called yeh Solus 'cause your parents didn't even wanna give you names. That's why you're both Solus.

Bloodwell: An' she ain't Solus anymore. She's Scrapper.

*the snarling and thumping noses grow louder*

Trent: *smirks*

Let me in!
*tries to run past*

Bloodwell: *easily punts him back out into the street*
You gotta make a bet if you want into the fight.

I don't have money.

Trent: *sneers* Find some.

Don't I have ANYTHING?

Bloodwell: . . . The patch then.

What?

Bloodwell: The patch. On your eye. No good hidin' it when it's so blinkin' obvious.

But . . . but I need my patch.
*puts a hand on it protectively*
If I don't have my patch, they'll all see . . .

Bloodwell: Yep.

Trent: Why do you think we want it?

. . .



*slowly removes it and gives it to them*

Edward Fletcher said...

I don't know, something just... doesn't seem right

Inky Flame said...

*hugs* is everything okay now?

Garret Falcone said...

(Hello Snow)
no need to be curios, its literally just a few things i may need

Edward Fletcher said...

I... I don't know

The Grave of a Coward said...

Bloodwell and Trent: *smirk*
*step aside*
Ladies first.


*scurries into the alley*
*head bowed*
*trying not to cry*






*far back in the alley, where it takes a 90 degree turn to accommodate a butcher shop, a fight is going on*
*people have gathered, shouting, waving money*
*kids are screaming and cheering and standing on boxes to see*
*there are maybe fifty people back there*

*stands back and watches, feeling sick*
*she had left last year, when she was the same age is is now*
*Bloodwell and Trent had promised money, a way to hone her skills, a chance to get off the street*

*so she left him*


*climbed on a box to see over the crowd*
*cupping one hand over the missing eye*

Inky Flame said...

Tawnee: Im a curious being, dragons are. what is it?

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(I'll be there for you, when the rain starts to pour.)

Inky Flame said...

*kisses Ed* you seem shaken up, I think you just need some rest, see if that helps. but if something funny happens, tell me asap

Edward Fletcher said...

Thanks, I just have a bad feeling inside *kisses* Something is not right

Inky Flame said...

*frowns* that is weird...I wont let anything happen to you
do you want me to make you feel better?

Edward Fletcher said...

Thanks, *smiles* What would I do without you?

Garret Falcone said...

(Hello Tia)
you really want to know, love?

The Grave of a Coward said...

*a wide space has opened, creating a torchlit corner of the alley*
*and in it, a dog and a girl are wrestling*

Dog: *breaks free and backs away*
*fur standing up*
*drool ribboning from vicious jaws*
*its ribs are pressing against its skin, and clumps of fur are missing from it's neck*
*it's bleeding profusely in some places*

Girl: *scrambles to her feet and backs away*
*she's slick with grime, and her shoes have had steel tips crudely happened into them*
*her hair is long and tangled*
*her knuckles cracked and bloody*

Girl: *screams at the dog*

Dog: *snarls and leaps*

*they crash into the ground again, rolling over and over as she desperately tries to snap its neck*



*stares helplessly*
*unable to assist*
*everyone around him is screaming*
*and from the sound of it, they're betting on the dog*

Inky Flame said...

*smiles* I don't know, what would you do without me? *kisses*

Tawnee: *smiles and nods* yep

The Grave of a Coward said...

*screams* Scrapper!
SCRAPPER!

Scrapper: *looks up sharply*

Dog: *sinks teeth into her arm*

Scrapper: *shrieks*
*begins to beat the dog violently over the head, drawing blood*
*smashes its face into the wall*

Crowd: *screams louder*

Scrapper: *tears arm from the dog's mouth*
*grips either side of the dog's head*




*looks away*



*SNAP*

Edward Fletcher said...

*kisses* I remember what I was before I met you *looks distant*

Inky Flame said...

*frowns* oh Ed, everything is different now
*hugs tightly*

Edward Fletcher said...

*Hugs* Not just that day, ask Trip. The amount of times I nearly destroyed it all

Garret Falcone said...

Ok *opens the bag up* *inside is 50k in cash, a gun and a phone with the Hawaii 5-0 theme tune (because i really like it)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(I'll be there for you, like I've been there before.)

The Grave of a Coward said...

Scrapper: Oh yeah? You got some big-shot Crowley people to come take you away?




*the crowd had dispersed*
*the money had changed hands*
*and they were huddled together, quietly, in the depths of the alley*
*Bloodwell and Trent had agreed to five minutes*
*no more, no less*


Yeah. They like me. I really think they want to take me away.

Scrapper: Really?

Yeah. They wanna make me a proper gentleman, who drinks tea and says "Quite." and stuff like that.

Scrapper: That sounds stupid.

No no, it's good!

Scrapper: See if I turn into a fancy-ass lady like that.
*stands up and stretches*
Imma good brawler. You saw me kill that dog? Sometimes, not even dogs can kill dogs. If I was lady, I wouldn't get to run around and fight dogs and wear pants and stuff.

I think you'd be a good lady.

Scrapper: I'll eat my britches if I become a prissy little lady like these pansy Crowley people.
*saunters up and down the alley*
Ooh la la, quite quite quite!

Inky Flame said...

*looks into his eyes* but you didn't, and now you are getting married. *smiles* you are different now

Edward Fletcher said...

*Looks into her eyes* Am I?

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I may offcially live in an insane asylum.-Zaf

Garret Falcone said...

(why is that Zaf ?)

Inky Flame said...

*smiles* yes

Tawnee: *eyes go wide* you are certainly...prepared...
(hey Zaf)

Edward Fletcher said...

(Hello Zaf)

The Grave of a Coward said...

It's a good thing, though.
*shows her the letter again*
If I'm a gentleman, I could have Status.

Scrapper: What's that mean?

I dunno, but they talked a lot about it when they came to visit me.

Scrapper: Oh.

An' I could go to medical school, and law school, and I could have Influence and Prestige and University.

Scrapper: That's a lot of rot, that is.

I think it's cool. And they want you too, see?
*points to that part of the letter*
They want to meet you, so they can turn you into a Proper Lady.

Scrapper: Don't wanna be a proper lady.

You don't wanna stay with Bloodwell and Trent, do ya?

Scrapper: *looks down the alley, at their silhouettes*
*looks back at John*
*shakes head*

That's what I'm saying. If you was a lady, you could have Bloodwell and Trent pull your carriage for you, like horses.

Scrapper: *giggles*
Really?

Yeah, really-really!

Scrapper: That would be fun.

Yeah.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Hello, Zaf!

On what scale?

What are the confines of said asylum?

Edward Fletcher said...

If that is what you choose to think, then I will try my best

Inky Flame said...

*smiles* I think you are already there

Edward Fletcher said...

*smiles* Thank you

Inky Flame said...

*hugs tightly* just...never forget it

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

My brother tries to commit suicde today. Dont know if he's alive. We were out of state and are on our way to the hospital.-Zaf

The Grave of a Coward said...

You don't HAVE to be a prissy lady.

Scrapper: Really?

Nah, but can you at least come say hullo to them? Then at least they'll know I tried.

Scrapper: . . . I dunno.

C'mon, Jane!

Scrapper: I ran away from the church 'cause I didn't want to bother with this.

Please, Jane? For me? Your brother?
