His luck was bound of run out at some point and fortunately for Kel when it did run out, things didn't take a turn for the worst for him. Following the shadow blot's recent attack Kel had been struck twice and was fortunately still standing. D'daear wasn't so lucky in a since for he had gone down, only to be brought back up with the aide of a phoenix down. Another benefit was the sudden boost of strength that they all got following D'daear going down. So all and all, it worked out well for them. It would be a waste to not use this newfound strength, so Kel charged in and attacked. Kel attacked.
You'd think that after finally being able to sleep in a bed of his own choice instead of waking up in one due to passing out Zephyr would stay asleep to enjoy the feeling , but nope. Instead of lying in bed sleeping his worries away, Zephyr had gotten up and headed outside to get some fresh air. If he'd known more about where he was, or at least the layout he might've wandered around for a bit, but since that wasn't the case he choose the option that wouldn't potentially get him lost. Now unlike Zephyr, Kruez had no problem with walking around Kaer. Partially because this was his second time being here. The mage had two destinations in mind, the library and/or wherever Veceslav was at the moment. At the library he was simply curious as to what they had there as reading material while for Veceslav he wanted to take the witcher up on his offer to learn more about alchemy. While it may have been nothing more that a hobby to him, there was still a form of legitimate interest in the topic for him. The order he did this though depended on where he ended up.
Sien had silently followed behind Alarick as they entered the building. They went into the living room where they were greeted by a vast amount of people. Had Alarick contacted all these people here for the same reason? That question of his was soon answered when Alarick went into explanation as to what was going on. The feeling of unsureness that he had had yet to leave him even to this point and the fate of those captured certainly didn't help either. However there was one thing for certain that Sien was sure about. Alarick had helped him out numerous times and in return Sien helped him out. At the very core of this mess, this was just another one of those situations for him, thus there was really only one real option that he could pick. "You've helped me out before, and so I'll help you out." Alarick Lightwood, Creed had some idea on who he was, but prior til now he's never seen him in person. He knew his name solely because Brianne had given it to him. Outside that he'd asked a few random questions but nothing that would warrant knowing him for a long time. Creed continued to listen to what Alarick had said and it lead to him feeling somewhat bad for all the help Brianne's given him. Not like he could've foreseen any of this, nor was it like he was the only one here that knew her (probably), but he still couldn't help but to feel bad. "Normally I'd want to do this alone to avoid dragging other people into it, but since it's a bit late for that. I'll help." Having arrived at the safe house alongside Rhett, Valister listened to what was said by the two parties. He'd thought about what had been said by them and the three people who had spoken up. So far there were two people siding with the nephilim and one (assuming Ash counts) for the fairies. With a shrug he decided to even the odds. "As much fun as dealing with the Clave sounds, I'll help fairies in their quest."
Reitan wasn't sure just why Kala was so adamant against being touch, but he didn't press her for more information. "Alright, I won't touch you." Reitan answered. Not sure if there was anything he could do about other people touching her, least when he wasn't around anyway. So he didn't give much of a response to that. As the captain explained to Kala that she had to follow orders, the lancer wielder sighed. Once again there wasn't a whole lot he could do about this situation. The captain was right in the sense that they had to follow the orders they were given, but there were times that Reitan just wanted to ignore said orders.
The werewolf was pretty adamant about leaping out of the window, in fact he went ahead and did just that. This lead to a sigh from Valister. To be honest he wasn't sure just what was going on within the institute beyond what he was informed, so whether Rhett was right about there being someone here was up in the air. Regardless of the doubt however, he choose to believe the werewolf and having approached the window, jumped out of it. The vampire didn't need to roll to soften the landing as he basically floated down til he'd landed safely. "So then, where to now?" Having arrived outside the the mentioned building, Creed took one more look at his phone and another at a nearby street signs. The two addresses matched so he was in the right place. Maybe now he would be able to get some answers as to why he was being hunted by this Clave person, Venturing into the building, he was struck by an interesting sight. There were four other people here besides himself, one of which was holding a knife in the directions of two others. Creed may not have known was usually went on in safe houses, but this kinda goes against the 'safe' part of safe house. "Easy there, no clue what's going on, but I don't think we need to start knifing people."
When the plate was placed down in front of him, it didn't take long for Gale to notice the paper under it. In fact it was pretty much instant that he noticed it. Gale slipped the piece of paper out from under the plate and read the note. When he was done reading it, he put the paper in his pocket. He wasn't exactly sure how to react to all that. Tessa liking him was one thing, but basically asking her out and having something set up were entirely different matters. That aside, both Tessa and Zack seemed all for him joining. "Well then I'll join then." Gale said as he started to eat his meal.
You're forgetting someone
As to be expected, one should never trust RNG. The spiders had noticed them and now they pretty much had no choice but to fight. Lumen drew his weapon and before he could do anything, rock started to fly. Some rocks flew towards the spider that they were fighting, other flew towards Lumen. Once more he wasn't sure what it was she was planning on doing but regardless of however many rocks were hitting him, he attacked. Lumen's Moves Arcane Bolt - 5AP Arcane Strike - 5AP Total AP used - 10AP
It there was ever a way to put a man on the spot, what Ana did would be it, to some extent anyway. If not for Veceslav telling them where the rooms were he wouldn't know where to begin and now he just has some idea on where to begin. Still didn't change that he wasn't sure just what he was supposed to be looking for in terms of a room for them. Nevertheless, standing around wasn't going to solve anything. "Sure." With that he went to where the rooms where and started looking around. Sweallow thought about Terra's question. While he certainly wasn't going to allow her to overexert herself while she was under his care, there wasn't anything wrong with simply going for a walk. "That's fine, there's nothing wrong with going out and getting some fresh air." "I'll gladly keep that in mind." Kruez said. In truth he'd forgotten about the offer Veceslav had made on alchemy. Since that was followed by him going to talk privately with Veera, Kruez went to go find a spare room and sleep. So long story short, Xross basically was amused by the fact that Talon had gotten himself arrested, in fact he even started to laugh out loud. Though when Kyle decided to go all kamikaze, he did what any normal, not drunk/unconscious, person would do and GTFO'D.
There's a couple of reasons that Sien likes to stay inform about what's going on, well the things that he can actually find information on. First because he's sorta a curious guy and this helps in some way. Another reason was so that he knows how to react to certain things. There were exceptions to this, like the current situations right now. No amount of information that he could've known would've made reacting to everything that just transpired any easier. Something was about to go down, that much was for certain. "Good luck." He simply said to Alarick. Valister sat there for a bit as Brianne dropped off the werewolf before leaving them. It was true the most vampire and werewolves didn't get along, he's both seen enough vampires slain and well as slain some werewolves himself to know that truth. However over the years, the desire to start trouble with the werewolves died down and thus he simply had no reason to start anything with them now. "Greetings." Valister replied. He listened to what Rhett had said, including the suggestion to jump out the window. That was when he spoke again. "You don't look in any shape to be leaping from windows either, let alone fights." He got up from the bed provided in the room and walked towards the door. "Why not just go out the front door?" You are going to be hunted by the Clave. There is a safe house at this address. 445 Silver Avenue N New York, New York We meet there. Trust no one. Well this was certainly unexpected. He recognized the number the text had come from for Brianne had given it to him in the event he needed assistance and couldn't reach her. He'd appropriated the gesture and fortunately a situation for him to need to call said number never arose. Yet now here a text was a text. This caused a fair amount of questions for Creed, ones that he'd hoped would get answered at the supposed meeting place. Like why was he suddenly being hunted out of the nowhere. Creed made sure not to do anything that would attract unneeded attention to himself. His phone was placed back into his pocket and he headed towards the address which fortunately wasn't all that far away from where he was now.
A simple shrug was made as a first response to the Prince's words. He knew that his weapon of choice had some disadvantages, especially against other weapons, but for the most part he'd managed to work past said disadvantages and handle himself well. "Long story short, my teacher was a lance user and thus wanted me to use the same weapon as him. I have tried out other weapons, but this seems to suit me the best." Then Kala had called him quiet, which was true for the most part. "It's just something that I've gotten used to being." There really wasn't much else of a reason behind it. Zahariel had started to walk off back to his quarters as the prince asked him about him. "Zahariel's one of the exceptions I mentioned earlier." Though compared to the one he had in mind at first, he's the lesser of two evils. "He means well, least I assume he does." Kinda hard to tell with that guy. As for their ideology, he hadn't really paid much attention to it. "Well we're a bunch of misfits with a common goal/enemy so I'm not sure if we share the same ideology, but we likely want the same end results to some extent." Hopefully that would be a sufficient answer to his questions. He looked to Kala, who was sticking close to Timothy. "You can use my jacket if you want." He unzipped it and took it off, before holding it out towards her. Reitan didn't really mind giving away his jacket since he had on a shirt under it anyway.
Despite not truly knowing what was going on, even if Alarick hadn't looked over to him Sien would've remained quiet. This certainly didn't sound like anything that he should be hearing and the fact that he was meant that there could've been some form of punishment if he was found. Which is why it certainly was a good thing that he'd hadn't been noticed. Elsewhere in the streets of New York. Creed walked down said streets with his pockets as well as his hood up. Such an appearance would normally warrant some stray glances and other such attention, but fortunately for Creed, it actually did the opposite. Well cept for when he was in buildings, in those cases he simply just had to put his hood down and all that unneeded attention was put away before it could get out of hand. As for what he was up to now, he was currently on his way back to his makeshift home. There wasn't much waiting for him there except a place to sleep and some food. Only the essential that he needed to survive.
With this being the second time Zephyr's ever gone through a portal, he still wasn't quite sure just what to expect going through it. However when he opened his eyes and found himself still with Ana, Vyle and Veera he felt relived. However when he heard Veera shouting, he noticed that the number of people around had gotten smaller by a bit. Then some girl dressed in what looked to be bed sheets appeared and addressed Veera. Just where exactly was he now? While he was wonder this, Ana revealed that the others could've ended up anywhere due to the portal. Man he really did get lucky, all things considering the two times he went through a portal. If only it were that simple. Regardless of him tagging along with Tatiana because he was bored or wandering around someplace else, the cold truth was that there wasn't much of a life left for Kruez to live. There was only one thing that he absolutely had to do, but there was a lot of wandering around to accomplish this goal since he had no leads to go off of. Thus when Tatiana ran off to greet Veera and whoever else and arrived, he simply stood there and waited the to walk into the hall. Xross had indeed chosen to follow behind Talon, all the way to the point where he'd gotten shot at. At which he simply stepped out of the line of fire and said. "If this is your way of gathering information, you really do suck at it." While this went on, Xross learned something interesting. The fact that Talon was a lord. Now while that mean very, and I mean very, little to him Xross couldn't help but to smirk at bit at this. He'd always wanted to mess with someone of high power and now was his golden chance. Well not now as in right now cause he was being shot at, but afterwards was fair game. Turning to Kyle, he decided to say something to him. "I have no idea who you are, but good job on shooting a noble." A thumbs up accompanied his words to Kyle. Sweallow wasn't expecting to be handed a picture at all, in fact he'd just assumed that Terra was still drawing pictures for the kids she had lost. Instead he was handed a drawing that appeared to represent Katia well. The bold lettering, the animal, flowers, all of it was just perfect. "You have my thanks." He would to find a place to keep this that would preseve it's beauty, but for now he walked over to his desk and placed it down. Hearing Terra, he let out a chuckle before replying. "Yes, yes it does."
With the sudden depression moment over, there was nothing left for Lumen and Alice to do but to sneak down the narrow path and hope that RNG didn't screw them over and that's exactly what they did.
Despite the the lack of change in his facial expression, Reitan started to get lost in his thoughts upon hearing him mentioning a home. Not once has Reitan felt at home since and to be honest, he barely noticed for he didn't even know what home was suppose to feel like. Maybe that was why he didn't know what his teacher's last words to him meant. Hearing the sound of a ding brought him from these thoughts and back to reality, to which he saw the open hatch in which Timothy had made the tea as well it being handed to him. "Thanks." Reitan took the cup from the robot and then a sip of the tea. It was good, even if he had no idea what kind of tea it was. (it's Earl Grey). "There's not really a special reason behind me being called lancer, it's just that my weapon of choice is a lance." Reitan explained to Kala as best as he could. not that there was anything that could've been left out of his explanation.
"From the looks of things, we're going to be for a bit anyway." Kel said. Enemies these big don't tend to go down easily, especially if there were any tricks that it was keeping hidden from them that could affect the pace of the battle. So far nothing like that had happened and instead of worrying about that possibility, Kel ran in and attacked with his keyblade. Kel attacked.
Chrono simply nodded at what Zack had said, taking another bite of the omelet. He never once thought of Adelina as cruel, a little overbearing sure, but as Zack had said, she was likely just being protective. It wasn't liek she was taking away the spatula or whatever cooking utensil he was using at the time from him, showing him how it was suppose to be done, then giving it back to him. That would get a bit annoying. When he heard Tessa speak to him, Gale had already taken a seat on the other side of her. "Maybe someone could help you out." Chrono offered. Well it wasn't like he could actually do it since he was pretty busy here at the kitchen. "I could help if you want, I don't have much to do anyway." Gale said once he'd gotten adjusted in his seat. It was true that he didn't have much to do, but that wasn't the only reason behind his offering to help Tessa. Part of him actually wanted to spend time with her some more since the last time they did was when they went back to the walled city and at the time he was more focused on finding Veera and Drake as well as keeping her safe.

Valister may not have doubted Brianne, actually hearing her tell him what she knew was a completely different story. It reinforced that notion that she knew little on what was currently going on. He waited patiently while she handed Jennifer her number before followed behind her past the barrier rune. Valister was briefly introduced to a girl named Roxanne, though she only spoke to Brianne before going off somewhere. Having been lead to the guest room of sorts, Valister walked in and looked around. It did look comfortable, that was clear. "My pleasure." Once Brianne had left, he took a seat on the bed and waited.
Hearing his named mentioned Zephyr gave a quick wave in response before returning to his thought, though he wasn't exactly thinking of much to be honest. He tried not to think about his encounter with the witch hunters as Ana explained what he went through. However, when she mentioned the mage that he fought. The only thing that came to mind was the fight in the alley before basically one crap situation after another. "His name was Solomon? What else do you know about him?" As per his nature, a part of Zephyr wanted some payback against him and knowledge was power as they say (and in some cases, proven) so any information that he could get would be helpful. "I'm ready as well." He wasn't quite sure if this needed to be said, given that he'd agreed to travel with them prior to arriving at the Witcher Camp, but it never hurt to make one's point clear. Kruez was indeed still behind Tatiana as they ventured furthered into the hall. He was partially surprised by the lack of response that they had been given. So either nobody was here or they were hiding. Taking into account where they were, the latter option was highly unlikely thus he went with the no one was here assumption. That said, or thought, that didn't mean that no one was in the entire area all together, just not in the immediate area. While Xross listened to what Talon had to say with fading interest, while dodging any stray object turned projectile due to the drunken fight that was still going on. Xross had tuned out most of what Talon had said after he said he didn't have much to do. "So you choose to come to this bar, clearly your information gathering needs work." Despite the fact that the current fight going on was completely his fault, he choose to ignore that small detail. The moment Talon turned to leave, Xross looked at the bartender cowering under his bar and motioned the man who was just knocked unconscious next to him. "Before he was knocked out, he said that he'd cover the damages." Then he got up from where he was sitting and followed behind Talon. "Since your information gathering needs works, I'll do you a favor and help you. For a price of course." Sweallow put his hand to his chin as he recalled more about Katia. "While she certainly was braver and bolder than most girls, she still held a fondness for flowers and animals." The Sweallow thought back on how Katia was, the more he found himself reminiscing on the time that he spent either with or around her.
