blessing 2

"Ro, I might need a holy magi."
(Amalia Ghede)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[14:52] Cassius Gracia exclaims, "Renly's one!"
[14:52] Renly stares..
(Renly)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[14:52] The girl soon perks up.

"I can do holy magic too!"

For what? She doesn't know.
(Parsley)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[14:52] Renly asks, "..Yeah, what's it for?"
[14:53] Renly asks, "..wait. Already?"
[14:53] Renly says, "Nice, Parsley."
[14:53] Cassius Gracia asks, "Ro, you a blacksmith?"
[14:54] Parsley says, "Yuh! For a while now."
[14:54] Parsley says, "Uuu."
[14:54] Ro says, "Bitch I can be."
[14:54] Bay says, "I'm going to stick around while the healing goes on..."
[14:54] Elisha Avery Ghede says, "What do..ummu..."
[14:55] Elisha Avery Ghede asks, "You need a blacksmith for?"
[14:55] Lumen Vastra says, "To bring a Doll to life."
[14:55] Ro says, "wHAT."
[14:55] Cassius Gracia says, "-...Yes that."
[14:55] Cassius Gracia says, "I need a talking parrot. But I'm settling for a doll instead."
[14:56] Parsley says, "..."
[14:56] Parsley says, "That's creepy."
[14:56] Elisha Avery Ghede says, "..."
[14:56] Elisha Avery Ghede says, "Oh."
[14:56] Parsley asks, "Don't you know about like, the stories? About possessed dolls and junk?"
[14:56] Parsley says, "This is a very bad idea."
[14:56] Elisha puts his weapon cleaning kit away.
(Elisha Avery Ghede)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[14:56] Cassius Gracia says, "Yes well...I don't see any talking parrot eggs-...."
[14:56] Lumen Vastra exclaims, "Even better!"
[14:56] Renly returns the Skyfall Wire to his back and slowly comes to approach.

"Are you trying to .. cleanse something? I've been practicing," he declared simply.

His only true exorcism was 'cleansing' Belluh, if it could truly be called that.

Hopefully his attempts here wouldn't yield the same result..
(Renly)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[14:56] Cassius Gracia says, "I'm full of bad ideas."
[14:56] Cassius Gracia says, "This is the latest one."
[14:57] Lumen Vastra says, "I've given up talking him out of them."
[14:57] Parsley makes a face.
(Parsley)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[14:57] Ro pulls Parsley's cheeks into a smile.
(Ro)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[14:57] Parsley says, "--wubb..."
[14:57] Ro says, "You're better smiling."
[14:57] Elisha grabs Parsley's good arm and attempts to guide her to /THE PURGE/.
(Elisha Avery Ghede)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[14:57] Fenes slowly blinks again. She seems to ahve been daydreaming about some fight or something.
(Fenes Cerberus)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[14:57] Digging into her side satchel as she's tugged and pulled at, she pulls out a little wiggling nature doll.

She yeets it in Cassius' direction.

"Renly asked me to make a friend for your doll!"

He actually didn't, but she was going to help Renly. Obviously. Before she's dragged off...!
(Parsley)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[14:58] Ro was... leading a pact of children?
(Ro)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[14:59] Cassius blinked briefly. A...doll friend for a doll? There was a small snicker before he gave a true thumbs up towards Parsley. Hopefully it was stuffed full of acorns.

"Perfect! I'll make sure he's appreciated!"
(Cassius Gracia)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:00] Parsley it is stuffed with living, wormy vines. It will follow if he sets it down. It's lifeblood is a little girl's mana. And it will probably kill you in your sleep. Because it's a doll.
(Parsley)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:00] "If Renly can handle it by himself, then...we're going on an adventure!" He didn't want to see his aunt get purged, it was scary.
(Elisha Avery Ghede)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:01] Cassius blinked. Perfect cursed doll for a...living cursed doll.
(Cassius Gracia)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:01] Eury's not cooperating in the slightest, continuing her attempts to squirm underneath her sister's weight. She raised har hands, clawing away at her sister's dress in a attempt to get her to let go. But before as much as being able to rip it, the cleansing had already begun.

An agonizing screams rings out from the young Hargrave. Not only from the pain of having mana unsuited for ones body run through the circuits, but that of the tar resisting as well; Its hold on her heart tightening.

Even if it was having effect, it was by no means a pleasant experience.
(Eurydice Hargrave)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:01] Parsley says, "I think Renly can handle it, he's my teacher."
[15:01] Amalia is exorcising Eury's demons. Wild.
(Amalia Ghede)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:01] Lumen will sleep with both eyes open from this point on.
(Lumen Vastra)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:01] Elisha Avery Ghede says, "Hokay."
[15:02] It would be even wilder if her demons exited through her stomach, right?
(Eurydice Hargrave)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:02] Elisha Avery Ghede says, "Uncle Ro take us somewhere cool."
[15:02] Amalia 'yikes' inwardly.
(Amalia Ghede)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:02] Parsley holds Ro's sleeve.
(Parsley)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:02] Renly asks, "..Can someone explain what's goin' on? Should I just blast her?"
[15:02] Bay just kept sporting his sick bat forehead tattoo.
(Bay)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:02] Elisha Avery Ghede says, "I don't want to see alien vs predator on my farm."
[15:02] Fenes Cerberus says, "...Put your holy mana through her circuits..."
[15:03] Bay asks, "... Hey Fen, how rested up are you?"
[15:03] Fenes Cerberus says, "Mnnh...? Not enough... If it's for healing."
[15:03] Bay says, "Right. I can wait then."
[15:03] Lumen Vastra says, "Wash out her Demons."
[15:03] Bay says, "Or find a sandwich around here."
[15:03] Fenes Cerberus says, "Already ate."
[15:04] Ro says, "..."
[15:05] Fenes looks towards the group still leaning against the railing.
(Fenes Cerberus)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:05] Fenes Cerberus asks, "But who's the one injured...?"
[15:05] Fenes Cerberus says, "...Other than... Eury."
[15:05] Bay points at his forehead. It had a bat tattoo reeking of occult magic.
(Bay)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:05] Bay says, "One finally got me."
[15:06] Fenes clicks her tongue. That's gonna be fun to heal, isn't it...
(Fenes Cerberus)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:06] Fenes Cerberus says, "Right then... I'll just rest up a bit and I'll take care of that..."
[15:07] Amalia looks towards Renly as she squints. "Use your mana to feel out her mana circuits, then cleanse the occultism that she is corrupted with, Renly. I'll hold her down. In essence, you are 'blasting' her, but you are doing so with extreme precision and control. Do not let your mana run wild."

"Keep it contained within her corrupted circuits and only those." Amalia explains to him as she continues to keep her hand over her sister's heart while also using her one free hand to keep Eury from clawing at her dress, or just keeping one hand out of the way.
(Amalia Ghede)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:14] Feeling out the mana circuits, and then cleansing the occultism that tortures it. It made perfect sense to him, and as such..

Renly nodded, wordlessly, before reaching out to grab at the hand that was being held to prevent clawing.

"Of course. Here we go," he declared, shutting his eyes. His grip remained tightly on her hand, and after a few moments, there's a pulsation of mana from within him that courses directly into her circuits.

"Show me.." He whispered, quietly, to himself; he was trying to understand spirits, among other things, and here, he could understand the whispers of the spirit.. To a vague, vague degree; finally, he can see it; in the right side of her body, where emotion and creativity were the strongest..

It was probably why she was in the most pain.

"Listen to my voice only, Eurydice. You are safe, you are safe, you are safe. The Demons can no longer hurt you.. Or your heart."

He shut his eyes once more as he pushed his own mana in, filled with Light; seeking to ease pain and banish the occultism that laid dormant.

Attempting to flush it out and save what remained. Attempting to salvage what was left.

But his own magic aims to trap it, in the same vein; to ensure it couldn't reach the other side of her circuits, her body.. or her heart.
(Renly)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:17] Fenes looked over towards the... 'healing' process taht was happening next to her... Eury was in full pain it seemed.. Maybe she should've number her whole body in some way and helped... She was a bit too tired still at that moment though...
(Fenes Cerberus)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:18] Cassius Gracia whispers something.
[15:20] Cassius Gracia whispers something.
[15:22] Cassius Gracia whispers something.
[15:25] Fenes takes out a knife, looking over to Bay and humming.. wondering if she should just... carve the whole weird tattoo thing off...
(Fenes Cerberus)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:25] Cassius Gracia says, "Hmpt."
[15:25] Lumen Vastra whispers something.
[15:26] Rather than to assist, Renly's reassuring words only spiral Eurydice further down despair. Her flailing intensifies, making as much resistance as she possibly could underneath her sister.

Only for it all to suddenly stop the moment Renly's mana made contact with the tar-like substance that filled her circuits. Her teeth grits together and she writhes-- although without the screaming that had come with Amalia's attempt-- before having her body go completely limp.

It's retracting. Trying to escape the holy-aspected mana by moving further down her vein, her skin regaining its color and warmth the further it goes. It eventually gathers like a large lump atop one of her fingers, looking like a tarry blob that sits right at the end of her vein.

Unable to escape any further, there it remains.

Although with heavy breaths, the younger Hargrave looks up from underneath Amalia.

"I'm... sorry?"

If anything, shemostly sounded confused.
(Eurydice Hargrave)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:26] Cassius Gracia whispers something.
[15:27] Lumen Vastra whispers something.
[15:27] Lumen breaths a sigh of relief.
(Lumen Vastra)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:29] Fenes gives a small nod... seems things are already going well for Eury, at least...
(Fenes Cerberus)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:49] Watching the Holy magic used on the side, and flipping that knife around for a bit, she hummed again, watching Bay before she finally walked closer, patting him on the back before her jade eyes wandered back to his forehead. She squinted for a moment, now this close, she stopped flipping the knife, putting it back in her bag as she leaned a bit in to stare at Bay- or rather the 'tattoo' on his forehead... It wasn't actually on his skin or anything it seemed.

"Mnh… Alright. Not being able to cast holy magic is going to be fun here. Energy magic would make the process faster...
But uh.. I guess raw mana will have to do.. And me being careful."

She shrugged- at least she didn't have to dig into Bay's Mana Circuits. Now that part would have been painful as hell. She already started to summon a cloud of poison in her hand, her eyes wandering to the one that used Holy magic before.

"If you want to give some help, you cantry to purge the mark on his forehead or something.... Holy magic burns Occult, and vice versa.. OR something along those lines."

The cloud of poison would be wafted over Bay's face- all of a sudden, to make him breathe in. His body would probably be numb now... Well at least he should be able to sit down before he crashed down on the ground.

Her hands would now hold to the side of his face, The Jade eyes staring at the Bat symbol on his forehead.
"Urgh… I hate having to deal with this.", because it always took too long to 'purge' at least a sufficient amount of occult for the injury to heal away by itself after a few days.

The hands moved on towards the forehead, Visible, raw mana at her fingertips. She gave a quick look to Renly once more.

"I'll at least try to numb the pain and help you out a bit with this... Not let any of it.. move somewhere else on his body or something."

her mana would encircle the Symbol, she grit her teeth feleing it already try to lash out and get into her own mana. She had to stay focused, and she already was starting to try to.. crush the mana, very slowly.

"..HOly magic would help a lot, to just burn that thing away..."
(Fenes Cerberus)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:56] Amalia doesn't get up from atop Eurydice. Instead, her spectral eyes follow along that mysterious blob within her veins. "Renly, it's not entirely gone yet. Do you see it? Make sure to get all of it." She says towards Renly as a pale hand moves to take hold of her sister's hand, singling out the finger where the lump had formed.

Though, on second thought, as she observes the lump on her finger, she wonders if simply cutting it open and letting it out would work just as easily.

"Mmh, hold on." She says before taking out the small ritualized dagger at her waist and unsheathing it, her eyes flick over towards Eury before the incredibly sharp dagger parts the flesh of the bulging black mass that had grown upon her finger. Giving it much more room to flee the holy magic that had flushed through her younger sister's system.
(Amalia Ghede)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:57] Napping? Absolutely - So the patting upon his back does jolt him awake. There's a brief flash a smile towards the Ookami as he lets her look over the tattoo for however long she may need. It's a chore to be so still at times though... There were so many demons he had to go dance with.

Hel, he merely had a glimpse at the end of his own book.

"It's not the first time you've dealt with this injury on me either. At least there's that, mh?" Letting a soft chuckle pour out of his lips he'd wait for the cloud of poison to wash over him.

How typical of a procedure... Bay's body slowly lost its feeling, and with that came his descent to his rear. Carefully resting himself against the building he'd let his eyes come to a close for a nice little rest.

"Well someone has to hunt Demons. I'm not sitting around while they're finally becoming proper fights." He'd lightly huff on back, "... Take your time though. Quicker I get better the quicker I can get back to work."

Already feeling the pressure building up on his forehead he'd grit his jaw. Surely Fenes would be able to handle this procedure again... What was a little pressure to him?
(Bay)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[16:00] He nodded with a smile once Eurydice spoke; she was sufficiently cleansed, or exorcised, at least, and now he could move on to try and help with the other one.

Occultism seemed to be .. Rampant, recently. He sighed.

"We need to do something about these demons .. Maybe the Coalition should meet on it," he declared, stepping away as he came to Bay's side, now. As Fenes tried to isolate the occult, the Ghede nodded to himself and rubbed his own hands together.

"..I hope this one's alright," he declared.. "I actually feel a little bit drained from the last one." He frowned. "But.. I am here, Bay. You are safe here. It is safe here. The Darkness has no hold."

He shut his eyes, momentarily, and then opened them once more; some sort of surrounded his irises, giving off the appearance of gold-- or something sacred, even if his face began to show pain.

It took a piece from him, at least temporarily, every time he moved to impart his holy magic to banish the occult. His own fingers moved forward to Bay's forehead, mana ebbing and flowing from his fingers at the symbol itself; forcing it to try and flee into Fenes' own mana and be trapped, or to subject itself to his own and be purged completely.

He would flush this one, too. His own Light would banish the Darkness hosted here...
(Renly)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[16:07] As the bulging flesh is pierced, the black substance within is released. It erupts, the tarry liquid rapidly expanding into something that almost looks like a mimic-- although a baby one, were they to exist.

It slithers along the ground, desperately crawling away from the scene and trying to find something else to feed from. Not being able to jump or otherwise attack, its form keeps decreasing in size until it is nothing more than a black stain.

Eurydice blinks a few times and stares down at what now looks like an oil stain. The thought of it having been inside of her sent the young Hargrave into a series of grimaces, though she is quick to remind herself of that there are matters far more important than that.

She turns back towards her sister, blinking.

"I'm sorry! I--..." With the substance gone, she could not come up with a single reason for not having visited her straight away. Had it still been in her, she would undoubtfully have been able to think of a thousand reasons straight away.

Doubt was a powerful feeling.

Her mind glances over to Renly, noting that he's busy. She'd have to thank him later, when he wasn't training to be a nun.
(Eurydice Hargrave)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[16:08] Fenes kept her fingers around his forehead, staring at Bay before giving a smirk. her eyes still on focus on that symbol, even as Renly stepped closer to help now.

"Happy to hear You're hunting Demons... Think the last proper fight I had was against Mister I want everything dead, Tut a-Mun… slashed his chest open but eh, managed to slip away..."

A small shrug given as she Gave a quick look towards Renly- he had to use more of his mana here, but at least Fenes would be able to trap it now... She could already see the symbol try to move, the mana try to escape, and she grit her teeth, not letting it escape, and not letting it corrupt her own Mana. Everything needed to be... fine.

She watched the Holy mana start to sizzle away at the symbol as it tried to escape, her own eyes would flash for a moment as she kept her focus. For a moment- she could swear she could hear some monstrous screams at the symbol was being purged, burned away.

...it's quite possible that by the end of it, Fenes forgot to renew that paralyzing poison's effect. She couldn't really, having to keep that occult magic trapped for Renly to burn it away. Well Bay's going to have a burning sensation by the end of it.

"Good Good...This is going just fine..."

She waited for a moment, even as she couldn't hear those screams anymore, or even see any of it remaining, she kept her barrier of Mana up, Jade eyes observing Bay's body, before she let go With a groan, nodding to Renly.

"Thanks. It would've taken a bit more time to crush it forcefully with raw mana.. and maybe a bit more painful."

She gave a thumbs up to Bay. "Don't get beat up by a bat demon next time, beat HIM up."
(Fenes Cerberus)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[16:16] "... Doesn't the Coalition's treaty end soon? Or am I wrong on that?" If Bay's face could scrunch up it sure would, but now there came another set of hands to snag that Occult off his forehead. Truth be told it was weird having two forces of mana battling against a third on your head.

Golden hues shift towards Renly however as he spoke, "... Thank you though. Both of you."

Holy magic was a strange thing to bare witness to. So many magi went for cosmic magic opposed to the kinder route. Perhaps they lacked the merit for it, though. It was a magic built upon good intentions after all...

Gradually, though, the combination of mana does pick away at the Occultic symbol on his forehead. Pressure built up as the faint heat of a burn lightly grazed his skin; Teeth begin to grind against one another in reply to the growing pain.

Yet... It worked.

Dissipating into the ether the bat symbol would fade away. A relieved sigh escapes the Rhoynur as he glances towards Fenes. "Yeah, yeah. Slipped up this time... Next time they'll be put back in their place." Bay huffed.

At least that headache was gone.
(Bay)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[16:17] Fenes Cerberus says, "Mnh. Good Good..."
[16:17] Amalia looks at the oil stain on the ground, and then sets it on fire with a tongue of flame, just to be sure. She does not want it getting into anyone else, however unlikely, and repeating this same situation.

It was only then did she look back towards her sister beneath and she lets out a long sigh as the Teraphim Lady shifts to the side and off of her. "Vicious creatures. The world will weep with joy when they are finally eradicated." She mutters to herself before she slowly stands up and holds out a dirtied hand towards Eurydice.

Should she take it, she would be helped to a stand.

"Are you okay now, Eury?" She asks of her sister, her tone and expression both filled with an exposed worry.
(Amalia Ghede)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[16:19] Renly nodded to himself, and then stepped back.

"..--Ah, I'm exhausted now." He declared, pausing for a moment. "Please, nobody else come with an occult injury for a while.." He frowned.

The halfling leans against the fence, completely as the light faded from himself.

He hadn't taken on the occult, since he didn't have to .. But he was sure that if he wanted to do something more advanced, like taking the occult from a mage, or an object, it would be more severe-- if not dangerous.

"..Mmmph, tired."
(Renly)
