if we are going to have , even just as background , a "dread foe" group for the Nighthunters i have a suitable char .. do we want to have a RPed villain faction working the other side ? maybe give some shape and reason for the NH missions and hunts ?

if possible can we keep to weds and thursdays ..i can fit them in by shuffling stuff..but it then means other days are not free ..otherwise i wont be able to say ya or na until the days before ...

Dire watched the rapid incresse in PPD numbers ,

" can you move your body ..only often like ,ghosts are tied to the area of the body ..and what wiv those police about to hit the place ..you may get stuck answering questions .."

Dire foucsed her Psi defences to max ..as the Psi cops opened up with messages ..

" i 'spose i could lend you a hand if you need it ..? "


((OOC ..Dire could not TP to the space ship , she is a type of ghost , and as such is limited to a c.49 mile radius from where she died ie paragon city area ))

as i said bill will take whats left ..time is fine for me

from a good distance Dire watched the gathering PPD army .... let them deal with the mundain matters of Congressmen and legalities ..

The Woman was slain , but not by Dire's hands ..she felt some what better at this outcome ..lost spirits could be a pain ..

Dire moved further back to avoid the police ..and any questions ...

tuesday is fine ..i will bring Bill along ..he is the most reliable char to look after a disc ..he will take what ever he is given ..

(( sorry DeviousMe i did not think the Robots would take Dire's actions as an attack ..meerly words spoken ....if so then her retreat was with much more speed and taking fire from the bots .. FYI she took rather thanadded anything to the Congressman ..))

Dire turned and gave the Congressman the sweetest of looks , her smile was board , her whole face animated ...

She held out her right hand , the fingers uncurling to show the open palm , upon which sat a single drop of fresh blood ...

..the Congressman felt the faintest of pains , where Dire's barb had pierced him , a quick glance , assured him the nanites had closed the wound with their normal scar-less perfection....and yet he felt the smallest of jabbing aches , just for a fraction of a second ...

The Congressman looked back to Dire , her smiling face descended to plant a kiss on her own outstretched palm ...

Again in that odd snap like movement Dire's head shot upright , the face was now again dark and hostile ... the right hand turned to display the open palm ..the drop of blood was gone...

..Dire's voice was deep and echoy , seemingly a blend of many tones ..” we have you for always Soul Stealer ...we are with you and you shall know our touch ....live long Accursed ..for we name you in the Halls of the Lost Graves , to the Thrones of the Deadmen ..”

.with that Dire seemed to move backwards ..away and upward ..slowly merging with the dark sky until she was lost from sight ...

Dire seem to focus on the Congressman , so Jase and Widows fight passed near unnoticed ..

As the field protecting the Congressman slipped away , allowing the drak swirling tendrals to snap and bite at the Congressman , Dire's face took on a far away look ...

" just one stabb say the Deadmen , they have spoken the fate of the soul stealer ...no mercy , no pity ..just exsistance .."

Instantly a long jagged spine of magic shot from Dire's right hand , crossing the gap to the chest of the Congressman , ..deeply it drove into his flesh , plused a deep dark red , and was gone , leaving but a small wound , that dripped a single drop of blood ...

..with that Dire again transfered her whole attention ..this time to Jase ..

"didya 'ave to ..she was just a loony ya know ....booger thats really gonna complicate stuff..."

Dire stopped short turned and waved to the two still approching figures ..they halted , the huge man seemed to give a shrug , waved back , his arm ending in a large hook ..and then turned away ..slowly withdrawing into the distant night .

(( well as the Congressman is being covered by dire's death shroud , when the detention field goes down he is going to yelp in pain ..which is a bit of a give away ..and as he is not grouped with you you have to TP then TP him which all takes time for the rest of us to react .. so are we all agreed the Detention field drops ....then we all start yes ? no ? ))

(( sorry but you cant TP the congressman if he is in a detention field ..and if he is not you need to say so ..as other effects will be effecting him ..))

i agree , let the ghost evole around us , may be its more poltergiest like at first ..and over time it becomes a "person" ...

thinks ... is our shop a simple book store , or does it have a coffee bar and reading area ?

is it a trendy hang out or a stuffy book lovers nook

does it do writers signing their latest books

does it have a "other" languages section

does it open at odd hours ..and is closed all day teusday for no expalined reason

does it make a profit ..or does it need funding to keep is going

does it employ our Alts as staff , ie beyond our NH toons

just some fleshing thoughts

as i said a age ago ..notof my GG toons knew Drade ..but if you need a filler i am happy to help ..of the suitable toons , those know by Red , and have met the Spirit Drade are Rik , Bill Zombie , and Dire lament aka Lucy ..let me know if and which you may need ..

as to time , my weekend is pretty flexible at the monment ..

The Worn Cover ..i like ..add my vote for that one .

oooh i like the trophy idea ..have a wall set aside for them ..

as to the shop name ..either , and i am happy with both ..make it a atypical Uni campus are book shop . ie a realativly modern place ..in which case just call it something like The Book Store ...or Books are us .. modern glib names

Or make it a old old shop , full of old books and dark corners and twisty staires ..with either some names of the long dead (( we hope)) owners ..
..like Clanthborne & Heigulmonn 's or Philaethdorn , Heint and Murow ..

oooh if its a old old shop ..can it have its own ghost ?

Hellskeeper took a pace back and lost the Axe , freeing her hands to start clapping Nathaniel's antics ...

" sweet moves old timer , Im Hellskeeper , pleased to met ya .."

Hellkeepers glance swept the tree line ..

" ..will thata whiping of their boss spook off the rest of them zom-by-ies..or are we all in for an allnighter ? "

Dire moved slowly to the board Acid had set up ...

she places a hand upon the boards and started to leave a red smugged trail..artfully she made the words appear

..yes , Forever and Ever and Ever more , here and now..

..a nasty , cackling , giggle escaped Dire's lips as her whole body snapped around to face west ..a huge misshaped figure was slowly approching , something much smaller flitted just behind the giant man ..

..just at the limit of hearing Dire , begain to sing , badly "...down our way the horror trots , lost in mind , dumb in speach , forever on the road , always ..just one pace behind ..a arms snatch away ..he comes to play .."

yep i can fit in with that wed and thurs are both doable

Hellskeeper flash Rachel a big grin , and pulled her Axe from the air ..

"pick a tree , and i will cut you one ..bigger the better i say ..then if it dont work it will nail the B'strd to the ground .."

Hellskeeper gave the Axe a twirll and looked around at the trees ...

Dire seemed impassive to the events around her , still her magics rolled over the protected form of the Congressman , but otherwise she just hung in the air ....

Then slowly her slack face broke as her lips parted , gone was the deep voice , now what came out seemed almost chanting , and strangely it sounded like eight part harmony ...

..stranger still where the words spoken ..(( to the magically talented it is a spell ,cast in a pure arcane language ....a summoning ))

..the sound of the chanting hung in the air after even after Dire stopped speaking ....


Dire's head tilted to onside , the face became relaxed and a faint smile crossed it ...

“ Lucy has friends too ...”

Dire simple stepped closer to the Congressman , from the dark swirls around her long strands of magic swept out to coil around the Congressman ....

Dire's voice had become deep and dangerous .." we can wait .." drawing more magic to her , a new cloak of a dark shade that hung ready ..a surgestion of what she might do ..the air became heavy , and even the metalllic robots could pick up the taste of the promise of fears unleashable ....

" take your best shot , tinman ...i hope you know where to aim .."

“ Soul Stealer ! “ the words screamed from Dire’s lips , her whole form went rigid ..the blood splats covering her turned deeper red , the sweet sickly odour of fresh blood filled the air ..

Around her the dark ness deepened , her face became a twisted mask of hate ..

“ No , no death for him ..he shall be reduced forever , let him taste his own curse ..,let him Know ! “
Dire drew back her right arm , a crystal spine , oozing magical venoms ,grew from her hand ..the arm swings down launching the spine at the Congressman ..

Wednesday or Thursday is good , just need a days note of whih
