  1. (7:59:26 PM) Feldi: It's a beautiful, sunny day on Sigil. The type of day that makes even the most darkened of souls wish they were outside, or home. The type of day where no one thinks anything could go wrong. Which makes it the perfect day for a little surprise demolition work.
  2. (8:01:06 PM) Feldi: Linny makes her way to the place where Luna wanted to meet, hidden in the form of a white falcon until she gets to a convenient alleyway near the meeting place.
  3. (8:02:44 PM) Ikiryo: As she passes into the Orzhov parts of the city...it doesn't seem less bright but less warm. Like the sun shining down on them is harsh, rather than kind. Judging her.
  4. (8:03:23 PM) Ikiryo: It's not long before she spots the shaman, lurking in an alleyway in simple black and white clothing. If it wasn't for her smell, Linny would have a hard time telling her apart from the various Orzhov people about.
  5. (8:06:00 PM) Feldi: The falcon touches down and, a moment later, halfling stands up in its place. She grins at her shaman friend. "The Orzhov sure love color, don't they?"
  6. (8:06:09 PM) Feldi: a halfling*
  7. (8:09:03 PM) Ikiryo: She rolls her eyes. "Oh yes, very much. About as much as they like laughter and not looking like gigantic tools."
  8. (8:12:25 PM) Feldi: "I'm kind of glad we're taking the sewers. I don't think I could pull off that look~ So...our entrance is in this alley?"
  9. (8:13:27 PM) Ikiryo: She smirks. "If we needed you to hide like this we could dress you up like one of those creepy emotionless whores they have." She nods "Well, for a value of entrance. The ground is thin here."
  10. (8:17:23 PM) Feldi: Linny lifts an eyebrow. "Who'd want an emotionless mate?" She shakes her head in despair of society. "Need me to create one then? I don't mind warming up."
  11. (8:18:38 PM) Ikiryo: She nods. "I've started it off." She slides a crate aside, showing off a square she's been tracing on the ground, the lines looking weak. "And don't ask me. People sell themselves into it and then the Orhov charge loads of money into it...it's creepy as hell."
  12. (8:23:47 PM) Feldi: Linny stretches out her arm as she considers the best position. "Will we be giving those people back their emotions with this job?"
  13. (8:28:42 PM) Ikiryo: "Not a clue. If it's part of the contract, yeah. If it's something else...not likely." She frowns.
  14. (8:32:06 PM) Feldi: Linny frowns as well, but shrugs. "We'll see what happens when we bring their bank six feet under." She lifts both hands over her head, bringing them together into one large fist, then brings them down on the weakened stone.
  15. (8:33:41 PM) Ikiryo: It shatters, cracking almost perfectly into a square that drops down into the darkness...
  16. (8:33:56 PM) Ikiryo: The silence is almost palpable as people out in the street freeze.
  17. (8:36:52 PM) Feldi: Linny looks back over her shoulder and sees all the suddenly frozen people. "...I think we should get underground."
  18. (8:37:50 PM) Ikiryo: "...likely so." The sound of wings approaching can be heard as the Shaman slips into the hole.
  19. (8:38:08 PM) Feldi: Linny jumps in after her, descending into the darkness.
  20. (8:41:04 PM) Ikiryo: She falls for a good twenty seconds before she hits stone down below, the Shaman sliding down next to her with one hand on the wall to slow her fall. Her fingers have left trails in the wall like razor sharp claws.
  21. (8:41:36 PM) Ikiryo: It's dark about her, Linny barely able to see a few meters as the sound of running water flows nearby
  22. (8:43:36 PM) Feldi: Like she did back in the minor plane of the Blood Wind Cult, Linny conjures up the silver light of the moon to illuminate the way.
  23. (8:46:42 PM) Ikiryo: Luna nods to her. "Thanks. Light is...well, Isodoros consumes light rather than making it." The pair are deep in what seem like sewers designed by an artist. No sewers Linny has seen before have stone this clean or well fitted.
  24. (8:48:27 PM) Feldi: If it weren't for the smell, she'd wonder if anyone shitted in this Orzhov ward. "Where to next?" She asks Luna. If there's one thing shit covers up, it is scents.
  25. (8:50:05 PM) Ikiryo: "That way for about five minutes, then left and follow it for another five." She nods. "I found a map."
  26. (8:52:45 PM) Feldi: Linny nods and begins to walk. "Maybe I should break my own nose while I'm down here."
  27. (8:53:39 PM) Ikiryo: Luna nods. "I can understand that." There is the sound of boots up above, someone is walking near the hole they entered by.
  28. (8:57:02 PM) Feldi: Linny pauses. "Give me a moment." She walks back the other way, on the other side of the hole, and smashes the wall with all her strength in hope that given a second it will collapse, before rejoining Luna and doubling her pace.
  29. (9:00:33 PM) ID_Work [[email protected]] entered the room.
  30. (9:01:36 PM) Feldi: Given three rapid punches, cracks spread quickly through the well-maintained walls, small pieces of stone clicking down onto the perfect stonework of the floor. As Luna and Linny rush the other way, a deep rumble and crash catches up to them, the sounds of the tunnel, in the opposite direction they're headed, collapsing. "They'll think we went that way now~"
  31. (9:02:41 PM) Ikiryo: Luna laughs, suprisingly musically. "That works. I bet it's Angels following us."
  32. (9:03:09 PM) Feldi: "Boros? Or do Orzhov have their own?"
  33. (9:04:07 PM) Ikiryo: "Thier own. The Boros ones interfere with my stuff but I can at least appreciate they've got passion...the Orzhov ones are like golems half the time. Golem Angel Tax Collector Prostitutes."
  34. (9:06:47 PM) Feldi: "Are Orzhov obsessed with prostitution? Why would you make your tax collectors prostitutes? Seriously, what is wrong with this city?"
  35. (9:07:42 PM) Ikiryo: "People pay for it...and I'm pretty sure the Orzhov wank over thier tubs of money so there is some creepy fetish overlap." She shakes her head.
  36. (9:08:48 PM) Feldi: Linny gives Luna a disturbed look. "...at least they'll probably fall for my little misdirection," she mutters.
  37. (9:10:25 PM) Ikiryo: "Civilization is weird." There is the clack of heels on stone behind them, though not heading thier direction as the pair make thier way to a cross intersection. "...left now."
  38. (9:11:44 PM) Feldi: Linny turns left, and follows the rest of Luna's directions as they make their way through the sewers.
  39. (9:17:41 PM) Ikiryo: It's not long before they emerge into a massive room, pillars reaching up towards the roof and a huge pool of water in the middle of it.
  40. (9:19:25 PM) Feldi: Linny frowns at the pool of water, the conjured moonlight turning it into a facsimile of the moon, illuminating the rest of the room. "These are all the pillars? What's with the pool?"
  41. (9:23:59 PM) Ikiryo: "...not a clue." She shakes her head. "It wasn't on the map."
  42. (9:28:28 PM) Ikiryo: ...there feels like some magic deep inside it, though Linny is having a hard time working out exactly what. It's not well formed, like cast off magic just allowed to pool rather than being all used.
  43. (9:30:57 PM) Feldi: Linny is still wary of it, not getting too close to the pool. Thankfully, if it is just cast-off magic, it shouldn't play a part in keeping the building from collapsing or in any security system. She walks around the room to the furthest pillar from where they came in, examining Luna's prep work as she goes. "So, I just need to smash all these and we run out of here as fast as we can, right? It seems too easy~" She grins, lookin
  44. (9:36:16 PM) Feldi: looking forward to it.*
  45. (9:37:33 PM) Ikiryo: She chuckles. "Give me a moment to weaken them first~" She starts to pace the room, running her hand along the pillars and Linny seeing them age centuries before her eyes...
  46. (9:38:45 PM) Feldi: Linny waits and watches Luna work. "Are we going back out the way we came in or did you have another route planned? Even if they are dumb as rocks, I'm sure they left one person behind at the entrance."
  47. (9:40:39 PM) Ikiryo: "We could go deeper into the sewers...I don't have maps going much further though. Either that or just kick the shit out whoever is on guard duty."
  48. (9:41:36 PM) Feldi: "I was hoping for the latter~"
  49. (9:45:18 PM) Ikiryo: She grins. "I like it~"
  50. (9:47:56 PM) Feldi: "Outside of the arena, apparently fighting is frowned upon," Linny grins back. "So, I'll take my brawls where I can get them!" She chuckles, leaning back against one of the too-perfect sewer walls.
  51. (9:50:15 PM) Ikiryo: She nods, cracking her knuckles as black light glows over them. "Smash away."
  52. (9:52:44 PM) Feldi: Linny's grin becomes unnatural as she grows taller, thicker and much, much furrier. Once in her warform, Linny begins to do what she does best, or second-best. Her ability to murder has gotten better lately.
  53. (10:02:59 PM) Feldi: The pillars might as well have been made out of paper for all the resistance they give Linny's broad clawed hands, She bounds from one pillar to the next in loping motion, each falling to nothing in turn.
  54. (10:03:26 PM) Ikiryo: Disolving into dust as they fall. Luna is already sprinting for the exit...
  55. (10:04:26 PM) Feldi: Linny follows after, knowing better than to let a building fall on top of her.
  56. (10:04:38 PM) Feldi: It wouldn't kill her, but it would make for a very boring week.
  57. (10:05:46 PM) Ikiryo: There is the sound of footsteps approaching as they run, people clearly having heard it as a building falls into the sewers behind them...
  58. (10:10:05 PM) Feldi: Linny muffles a growl into a low rumble. "Sounds like the Angels have found us. How unlucky for them~'
  59. (10:10:08 PM) Feldi: "
  60. (10:12:07 PM) Ikiryo: As they turn the corner...those are not angels. Or creatures Linny recognises. Human-shaped but clearly not human, no eyes or noses or openings on the face at all. Just pale, blank and hairless flesh...
  61. (10:13:56 PM) Feldi: If it has flesh, you can cut it. Linny roars forward, claws flashing in whirlwind of cuts as she barrels into them all.
  62. (10:18:36 PM) Feldi: In a moment, half of them are hairless, bloody not-human-shaped chunks on the ground.
  63. (10:22:16 PM) Ikiryo: Luna is only half a step behind her, reaching out with her black glowing hand...sweeping it through people, limbs blackening and disolving into dust wherever she touches it. It's not long before all of them are dead.
  64. (10:23:28 PM) Feldi: "Zombies?" Linny questions as they both begin to run again.
  65. (10:24:40 PM) Ikiryo: She shakes her head, keeping pace with Linny. "I think they were alive...creepy though."
  66. (10:26:59 PM) Feldi: Linny rumbles agreement to that, making good time toward their exit.
  67. (10:29:28 PM) Ikiryo: Another pack of those creatures move to intercept them but are quickly cut down...the sound of clacking heels can be heard from the other direction but they are going to reach the exit first.
  68. (10:32:18 PM) Feldi: It's almost disappointing that they might not get to meet the owner of those heels, but Linny imagines they'll be getting a bloody reception when they make their exit anyway. "Need help getting up?" Linny asks Luna when they're just beneath the hole.
  69. (10:34:02 PM) Ikiryo: She shakes her head, grabbing into the stone like it's made of wet mud...
  70. (10:35:11 PM) Feldi: Linny starts her own assent with a massive jump, at the height of which she buries her claws into the stonework and begins to climb...
  71. (10:36:38 PM) Ikiryo: Linny reaches the top a moment before Luna, the pair clambering out of the hole back into the alleyway...
  72. (10:39:21 PM) Feldi: :Want to fight whoever was following us, or bury them in rocks?" Linny asks, glancing out into the street and down into the darkness of the pit.
  73. (10:40:20 PM) Ikiryo: "Hmm...I kinda want to fight them but we are right in the middle of Orzhovtown...likely a lot more angel on the way." She frowns.
  74. (10:42:00 PM) Feldi: "Rocks it is~" She slams down on the already weakened rocks around the pit.
  75. (10:44:39 PM) Ikiryo: She joins in, tearing chunks out of teh wall and dropping it down towards a bald woman in a black and white cheongsam. She has rather odd wings for an angel, made of metal and stained glass rather than flesh and bone. Like she lost her wings at some point.
  76. (10:47:07 PM) Feldi: "Are cheongsam the height of fashion or something?" Linny asks Luna even as she tears away a huge section of the floor and sends it careening down on the bald angel.
  77. (10:49:04 PM) Ikiryo: "Don't know, why?" She keeps throwing rocks at the angel, who needs to dodge furiously.
  78. (10:50:15 PM) Feldi: "I've just seen a lot of them recently." Linny comments, ripping out a large enough segment of the side walk that it nearly plugs the hole as she frisbees it into the hole.
  79. (10:50:24 PM) Feldi: sidewalk*
  80. (10:50:47 PM) Ikiryo: "Why would I know fashion?" She shrugs.
  81. (10:51:27 PM) Feldi: "...you're a model."
  82. (10:51:41 PM) Ikiryo: She blushes. "...only occasionally..."
  83. (10:52:14 PM) Feldi: "Uh huh." Linny actually plugs the hole with her next slab of concrete.
  84. (10:54:33 PM) Ikiryo: "It wasn't by choice." She grumbles as she stamps down on it, the stone melding with the rest of the ground to make the plug solid.
  85. (10:55:45 PM) Feldi: "You do know that no one buys that, right?" Linny laughs at her friend.
  86. (10:57:12 PM) Ikiryo: "It's true." She sighs. "And I'm suprised you are not in any pin ups yourself."
  87. (10:58:23 PM) Feldi: "I'd prefer not to be easily recognizable by people I might have to murder one day."
  88. (11:00:02 PM) Ikiryo: She raises an eyebrow
  89. (11:01:36 PM) Feldi: "I like to keep my potential murder options open." Linny somehow grins with a wolf's muzzle. "And I'm more useful to Reise as someone who isn't in the public eye...at least not with this body~"
  90. (11:03:27 PM) Ikiryo: "...yeah, you'd mostly end up in the really embarassing shoots." Luna's very pretty herself but more in a Reise way than in Linny's curse way.
  91. (11:04:51 PM) Feldi: "Not what I meant, but you're probably right." She looks out toward the street. "I'm going to fly out of here. I'll keep an eye on you as you make your escape, just in case you run into too much trouble~"
  92. (11:05:51 PM) Ikiryo: She rolls her eyes. "I'll be fine. I'm a true member of the Gruul~" She grins.
  93. (11:08:10 PM) Feldi: "I'll hold you to that~" Linny shrinks down to a halfling, then again down into a pure white falcon. It flaps its wings, catching a thermal and begins to fly away from the scene of the crime.
  94. (11:09:09 PM) Ikiryo: She watches the other girl leaving...blending into the crowds moving very well. She's a skilled actress.
  95. (11:09:57 PM) Feldi: Linny keeps her promise, watching her with the eyes of a falcon till they're both out of Orzhov territory.
  96. (11:12:01 PM) Ikiryo: As Linny flies out, she sees a large hole in the ground where a large building used to be...
