As much as I'd like to show up Rene by pointing and saying "well it's over there", I'm happy for a cut scene to move the plot on.

“No that would be fine, Blodeu is Middle Welsh for flower.“ she considered the rest of his question carefully and replied without irony “I always expect trouble, it save’s time in the long run.†She considered her option about just how much she tell Subito, it was ingrained into her to reveal as little as possible. In fact she had probably revealed more than she should have anyhow, but if she was going to get his help then it was best to tell him everything. Well not everything but enough to be a helpful partner. “But in this case, I just don’t know everything about this deal feels wrong.â€

Even the Swing… NPC Spotlight Kaplina Kaplina didn’t quite understand Lucy’s fascination with the view from the roof, it wasn’t like the breath taking view of the Himalayas back home, but she wasn’t the advice so she decided not to say anything. She patently waited whilst Lucy bustled about getting her drinks and snacks and generally fussing around Kaplina. She got the impression that she didn’t get many visitors and Lucy enjoyed the effort of it all. “So what the problem?†direct as normal, she like that in the woman. “It’s the normal things boys.†Since she had become stuck on earth by giving up her power to help this woman, who she now considered a friend, had made effort to build for her a normal life. This she insisted meant going to school as she still looked like a teenager, despite being thousands of years old. And that meant dealing with boys, and girls, but unlike before she had to deal with the consequences. No quick and easy encounter only to melt into the night without consequences. “It’s just that they’re all interested because I have such a bountiful…†“Figure?†Lucy chipped in with a borad smile “Yes, that’ll do. And they seem to think that I’d be easy to score with, as I seem a little inexperienced with the real world. They think I have no sexual experience and would be easy to fool, even though I have had many partners and have tried every position in the Karma Sutra.†“What even the one…?†Kaplina just gave a nod whilst Lucy seemed to blush. It was a strange thing to see her face didn’t really grow red it simply several shades of grey. Being dead she shouldn’t even be able to blush at all. It was unusual that anyone was able to embarrass Lucy at all so she guilty enjoyed the moments for a few minutes. “How exactly do you handle it? I’m not sure what to do, how to deal with it all.†Lucy was quite for some time thinking through her options before finally speaking. “Yeah I might not be the best person to ask about this, there was only ever one person for me. And that did exactly work out well. But that what being human is all about, when you feel it right it’ll be right. It might not workout, or it could work amazingly. Just promise me that you’ll be careful, they have all these wonderful things to stop you getting in trouble. We don’t want any little Kaplina running around, at least until you’re ready.†And that was it, the conversation drifted onto other subjects, the normal chatter of two friends enjoying each other’s company. And for Kaplina that was enough, to be honest she was beginning to enjoy this whole being human.

“Oh Brave new world…†NPC Spotlight Miranda’s Persoanal Journal (with additions in an unknown hand) So we were coming back from a day at the mall, totally legal like, when Nara (1) spotted her that weird British chick. Rumor has it that she has no powers what-so-ever she just got in because she has some magical item or other. Nara likes goes over to say hi, she always like that with anyone. So I wonder over and there something amiss with her, she’s normally a shy little thing who I can hardly sense normally (2), she’s walking around all confident and beams so much confidence and energy even Nara could pick it up. And she's got on this short black dress and wicked looking boot and she looking a bit, and I don't like to be rude like this, but not a little skanky. It not like I jealous or anything but I can't remember her looking quite so pretty, maybe it was just the lack of proper lighting. So whilst I'm wondering over Nara takes a look at a nasty bruise on this girls face, telling her that it wasn’t too bad and nothing was broken. And I notice something odd, well odder, that the two are talking and at proper volume normally I struggle to hear what she’s got to say but I can hear her strange accent and all. So we start walking with her back to school and she’ telling us, without being asked or anything, that’s she’s been in a clubbing (which I doubt) and that she’s been in a fight (which seems more likely) and is just walking off all her adrenalin. And I’m thinking whether to tell Mr Summers about her sneaking off and getting in a fight, cause he really dislikes that kind thing when a couple of muggers pop out and points guns at us. They must be new in town or reckon there far enough away from the school, but there still dumb cause duh city full of supers. So I’m like more a lover and not a fighter, and Nara well she’s not really focused enough to do anything. But this Brit she’s all smiling and asking then when they think she’s so confident, and they rightly point out that they have the guns. And then she goes all super intimidating and points out that yes they do but she has this. And she draws out of nowhere this massive sword which then goes and burst in fire with this strange light. And then they get it a run off and she looks a little disappointed and puts the sword away saying that there not really worth it and probably won’t try again. And then Nara starts back up talking, at exactly the same point that the conversation stopped, and we carrying on walking back to the school. I’m just following along wondering what got into this girl, cause like this she one very scary woman when she put her mind to it. And I like all worried cause it’s my though, I thought it would be a good idea to bring her out of her shell and be a bit more social. But I think I went a bit to far and created a monster. Maybe my power are getting more powerful than I thought? Should I undo this? Cause it looks like she could really kick-ass and that is sorta cool. And having a friend, well a associate, could be kinda neat sometimes. (1) Nara aka Kidzuku has an impressive array of super-senses, she does however tend to be a bit spaced out sometime spending hours watching Brownian motion or even peoples digestion. (2) Miranda has Empathy.

“I’d prefer Blodeuwedd if you could, at least when we’re not at school.†She scanned the room to see if her contact had arrived yet, it was still early so it gave her a chance to assess the situation fully. She didn’t want to tip her hand too early so keeping him out of the picture was a good idea. If trouble started, that would be when he was the most useful. “Okay you can help, but I need you to stay here. If anything happens do what you can, don’t worry about me I’m more than capable.†She gave a confident little smile “If anyone asks, we’ve just met and you don’t know me. I know that means a little subterfuge, but I know you more than up to the job.â€

Lucy reaction was unexpected to say the least, she burst out laughing. For a couple of minutes she just let it all out, it was a wonder relief after her day. “Oh my the Butler did it, that was so cliché even in my day.†Recovering her composure she whipped her eye, more out of habit she didn’t produce tear anymore. She picked herself up and wondered over to the shelf, looking for that book the “butler†had showed her. If it was what he’d said it was probably best to take it away. “Well daddy seems to approve of me, so I’m sure he won’t mind me borrowing his stuff.â€

Yup he was an old master manipulator, next time she’d have work on that. “Oh I thought you’d cleared off already.†She snatched the letter from Mr Whites hand “I’m feeling generous so I suggest you leave now. Unless you want to try again, but you already walked away so that would count.†Suddenly he didn’t seem that important. She sat herself down in the corner looking at the envelope Mr White all but forgotten. What exactly would he write, did she want to know? Lucy cursed herself, how could this man she barely knew have so much power over her. Was it that important to know everything couldn’t she just be happy with what she knew? As she went through this she almost automatically opened the envelope and took out the letter.

Reflex Save 1d20+4-1=23, wow I actually managed to make it! :shock:

Countering roll 1d20+4=12, light goes on light goes off .

As darkness is going to be a problem I'm going to relight my Environmental Control (Light), if I can I'll try to get him to concentrate on my in his attacks. I'm guessing that would be a trick for a Bluff roll 1d20+5=13, but I doubt that's going to work.

Young Britannia’s aura kicked back in as Heraldo words starting to sink in. What was she thinking letting this little worm get to her, the last statement was telling as well letting her know exactly what her was thinking. “Oh I see so all slaves are lesser, but some slaves are lesser than other. I suppose in this New Snake order your kind will be Viziers and servant’s while us lesser will toil in the fields and do all the work. Well here’s a News Flash for you, skin color won’t matter to the Snakes, black or white won’t matter when your skin is green. I'll give the Serpent's this at least they hate all humanity equally.†As she spoke her aura started to glow brighter and brighter as she began to regain her confidence, especially her hand as she prepared for an attack. “Oh and by the way the term is multiracial, any easy mistake to make. Oh wait no it isn’t.â€

“My family has more many generation protected the people of Wales, and by extension the rest of the UK, from threats from the malicious influence of the God’s and there servants. That includes magical artifacts that could cause human harm, that what I was trained to do but hook or I’m afraid crook and that why I’m here tonight.†She paused and took a deep breath; this was the more difficult part. “I was never meant to wield Dyrnwyn or fight evil directly, I was sent to the school because the Seer had foreseen a possible threat. I’ve trained to infiltrate organizations and institutions to meld seamlessly with the people and discover the information I needed. The one place I wasn’t trained to be was High School, the one person I couldn’t become was Cerys. Cerys isn’t really who I am, this is who I am I’m Blodeuwedd.â€

“No not normally.†It was simply a statement with very little humour. She looked like she was considering her options and there was a moment of silence before she next spoke. “Well that was direct and to the point. I’m glad it you that found me, I admire your honesty and integrity and I know that if I ask you wouldn’t tell a soul what I’d said. Everything I told you the first day is mostly the truth, but there are thing I can’t and won’t tell you.†She paused to let this fact sink in before continuing.

After making sure that the poor creature were safe from harm, and that if they woke up they couldn’t harm her, she considered what to do next. Her first thought was the book that the butler had pointed out and she actually moved over to the book case to look for the tome. Then a thought came to mind someone like the Master, who considered himself a master strategist who liked to control everything, wouldn’t allow an encounter to happen at random. NO he would be around somewhere monitoring the entire situation. To the room at large she declared “So how did I do, am I up to high standards?†If it didn’t work well no one was around to hear her, and there were always other options.

Blodeuwedd gave his comments some thoughts. He was right she could simply melt away into the crowd and he’d probably never be able to find him. It wasn’t pride it was just a simple matter of fact. But she suspected he would just blunder through the club trying to find her. And something about this whole deal made her nervous something seemed slightly off, Nash hadn’t used “official†channels and contact her directly. So having some back-up wouldn’t hurt and from what she’d heard he was more than capable. Decision made she gave a friendly smile. “Okay then follow me.†She led him through the club and past another bouncer into the club’s VIP section. Here the music wasn’t as loud and something approaching a normal conversation could be had. She picked a seat overlooking the dance floor and sat herself down. “I’m guessing you have questions, go ahead I’ll answer what I can.â€

Toughness save 1d20+12-1=13.

Now she had the measure of these “zombies†she found facing them a much easier prospect. With a series of blows she managed to dispatch the four foes making sure she scooped each on onto her shoulder. She didn’t want to see these poor thing destroyed until she knew there was no hope for them. She then stood there looking at Mr White a wicked little look on her face. “Well it look like I broke all your toys. And in a minute I’m going to come over there. So now it’s your choice how do you want this to end?†her voice had little malice but contained her normal stubborn determination.

Let's try again to take down those Zombies another takedown attack taking 10 for a 22 to attack and a DC 27 Toughness save. Same again to scoop up any fallen zombies.

Counter Roll 1d20+4=12, looks like shes all burned out!

She didn’t gain much comfort from Subito confusion and embarrassment; she’d had enough of that to learn a little humility. At least her time at school had taught her that much. Whilst he recovered his senses she managed to attract the barman and purchase a couple of drink, some cocktail that was a sexual innuendo for her and a simple beer for him. She thrust the drink into Subito hand. “It’s just for show; you don’t have to drink if it you want. Not that I’m going to stop you.†She certain wasn’t going to touch her; she needed a clear head for the meeting. Already she had managed to accidently spill enough to make it seem she’d started the nights drinking. “Answer me honestly if I tried to get away would you try to follow me?â€

Toughness Save from attack 1d20+12-1=30, from gloop 1d20+12-1=28. And the Will save 1d20+8=21.

Somewhere deep inside she had this horrible feeling that this horrible man was right, that the whole think was quite hopeless. As such thoughts crossed her mind her glowing aura began to dim until it almost extinguished. But his own hate full words broke her mood, she wasn’t going to let a berk like this get the better of her. She concentrated her effort and her aura flare back into life, maybe a little more than she had planned. She was going to have to shed some of this energy. “Wow so original! We’re too stubborn to submit, and to pretty to die. Oh Heraldo I’d close your eyes right about now.†With that she released a massive burst of light.

As I'm very unlikely to hit, I'm going to try and blind him with the light! So another Dazzle.

It was rare these days to feel pain and it seemed to have a strange reaction on Lucy giving her a rush if energy not unlike adrenaline. Maybe she was more alive than either of them thought? Using her new found energy she spun around laying into the four zombies, only to find that they were tougher than she reckoned with. Part of her wanted to chase after Mr White and attempt to throttle him, but ironically she was worried about these pitiful creatures. They seemed to be affected by the glop almost as much as she was. “If you leave right now that counts, and I’m one step closer to taking you down.†She couldn’t help but smile at that thought.

It seems she was on the guest list and she felt a little disappointed that she wouldn't have to bluff her way in. It seemed that fate had other ideas in the shape of Subito. Cerys knew Subito from school, he was one of those who had shown Certs around on that confusing first day. He also took the time to stop and say hello everytime there paths crossed, even though Certs couldn't look him in the eyes or manage more than a few words. "Darling I thought we arranged to meet inside the club?" her normal accent was replaced with a near perfect local accent. She threw her arms around him and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "What the Hell are you doing here? No don't answer that." she swapped to the other cheek "Tonight I'm called Ellis and I'm 21 years old. We'll sort this inside." She let him go but instead grabbed hold of his hand. "Come on I feel like dancing." She dragged him into the clubs lobby before he or the bouncer had time to respond.
