[12:48] Felice Nightfire: (Mother Dementia) steps back looking to Nicole and slings her axe away. She stands to one side looking behind her to the larger cloaked figure and keeps quiet.
[12:49] Iniko Mofanui: (Sister Pisica) eyes Nicole silently, then turns to look toward the figure behind her.
[12:55] 9hole Resident: (Desert Rat) keeps everyone in his gaze as he leans on the wall in relaxed way yet there was tension in the air around him that could make the hair on your neck stand for no apparent reason. The mask hiding his face and eyes yet it did not hinder his sight as he observed the others in silence for now.
[12:55] KurikoOkita Resident: (Mr. E) steps from hallway, the air seeming to grow tense and heavy, as if it were waiting for something. "Nicole." a voice pulled from the abyss inside the hood of the cloak, dark and rumbling with power. "So glad that you could join come. Come closer so that you may know us better. I am Mr. E."
[12:56] NicoleA Stine takes a step closer
[12:56] Iniko Mofanui: (Sister Pisica) turns from her view of Mr. E to watch Nicole, dark eyes steady on the vampire.
[12:58] 9hole Resident: (Brother Rat) attention first seems to focus on the person who spoke before turning towards the single person that is not cloaked. The tension felt around him being different from the person who had spoke yet it seemed his tension just increased the pressure of the spoker.
[12:59] NicoleA Stine looks around the room and stands in a strong stance, noding to Mr E "Hello Mr E, who are you and how do you know my name?" looks at each individual in the room then turns her attention to Mr E "And who are your friends
[13:00] Iniko Mofanui: (Sister Pisica) chuckles softly, the sound so muffled behind the mask as to be androgynous.
[13:00] Felice Nightfire: (Mother Dementia) chuckles quietly and coughs soon after, holding a hand over her chest as she keeps her head down.
[13:01] Katelyn Brim walks in and sees hooded, masked people. She instantly becomes defensive and asks, "What is this?" while staying close to Alaina.
[13:02] Alaina Amat wlaks into the warehouse thinking this was where they were all supposed to meet, seeing a bunch of hooded and cloaked figures she looked back to Kate suspiciously, "Alright ya know what ... I think were in the wrong place, this looks like some kind of cult or something.", she murmered, not being able to recognize anyone.
[13:02] NicoleA Stine looks over at Ditched and narrows her eyes, then turns her attention to Katelyn for a moment then back to Ditched
[13:02] Iniko Mofanui: Ditched says: leans a bit to peer around the corner toward the door. She then casts a quick look toward Mr. E before casually circling around behind the three librarians.
[13:03] Katelyn Brim nods, keeping an eye on the figures. "I think we're in the wrong place..." She turned to watch the figure who had circled around them.
[13:04] 9hole Resident: (Brother Rat) leans against the wall in relaxed manner yet there was tension in the air around him that would make your hair stand. His voice muffled and changed into something ancient and elemental and lacking all emotion from the voice making it unrecognizable by anyone. "We are the seekers....You are in the right place Alina and Katelyn. You have come to meet Mr. E..."
[13:06] Felice Nightfire (Mother Dementia) looks up again sliding back and to one side, as though to block one exit. "I are right on time...." she hisses in an unfamiliar voice. Her hand out and to one side, at the ready, her stand widening in a defensive way. She looks on to at three of the intrigued.
[13:07] KurikoOkita Resident: (Mr. E) While the hood never moved, the eerie weight of a powerful gaze could be felt over the three librarians. "I am the master of the library and these, my most trusted council. It is my instructions, my word that guides the library so that we may prosper in this city." The booming voice rumbled, strong enough to bring a chill to the air. The hood slowly moved, a slow nod. "Correct, Brother Rat. Librians have come to meet with me, to question me, should the need to. However, I see that a lesson of timing will need to be taught within our own walls..."
[13:07] NicoleA Stine turns and faces Mr E
[13:08] Katelyn Brim glances back to see the speaker, butquickly turns her attention to Ditched before looking at Felice, not recognizing anyone here. At Mr. E's voice, she jumps at snaps her attention to him, not daring to look anywhere else.
[13:08] Alaina Amat saw one of the hooded figures circle around them, she didn't like the fact that she felt as if she was being closed in upon and started to get a little defensive. She shot a piercing glance back to the cloaked figure that had spoken to them and mentioned their names. "I'm not too fond of a group of masked and cloaked figures knowing my name, I figured that Mr. E was going to be the only one here to wear it. "Your gonna have to tell me a little more about you Seekers or im high tailing my ass and hers outta here.", she says gesturing to Kate. "You trying to tell me the Powerful Mr. E needs a group of body guards when meeting with his own followers?", she raised her brow.
[13:09] NicoleA Stine waits and listens.......... crossing her arms and looks at Mr E "What do you seek"
[13:10] Iniko Mofanui: (Sister Pisica) shakes her head slowly, sliding one foot a bit apart from the other, her stancing sliding from relaxed to ready. She still says nothing, though. Just watches the three - and especially Alaina, an air of tightly confined energy about her.
[13:10] NicoleA Stine as she crosses her arms she pulls a small black dagger from her sleve keeping it concelled so no one can see
[13:12] Katelyn Brim's hair raises as she takes a step back, trying to grab a hold of her arm and tug her back. She watches from the corner of her eye the slight chance of escape. "Yes, what are you seeking? As well as why the need to basically imprison us here since we are fellow Librarians." She tried to get them talking, hopefully to distract them, directing her words at the Mr. E.
[13:13] Katelyn Brim: *trying to grab a hold of Alaina's arm
[13:13] Felice Nightfire: (Mother Dementia) hearing Alaina she draws her axe, were it for the factor of fear or nervousness or just to tease with it, she holds it at her side. A crocodile's growl escaping her lips as she holds her head downward.
[13:14] Iniko Mofanui: (Sister Pisica) croons a low 'shhhh' to the girls, but the normally soothing sound isn't so soothing when there's no emotion in the voice. "Patience, girls," she whispers.
[13:14] 9hole Resident: (Brother Rat) stands straight not leaning against the wall anymore. This simple action that should not cause anything to happen yet the tension could be felt creeping up your back as that blue masked person looked at the three librarians. His voice still hidden in that ancient elemental power as he spoke "We are the seekers. We are the unknown. Mr E has chosen to stay hidden from publics view. For us to remain cloaked when he is present is simple. His identity remains thus unknown. That is his will. And that is how it will stay." His words sounding final as if cut into stone.
[13:16] NicoleA Stine finds her center and remains calm. Able to hear the heart beats of living creatures Nicole can hear the tension in the bodies of the others ......... Nicole waits patiently for Mr E's response
[13:18] KurikoOkita Resident: (Mr. E) "Young librarians, be wise to consider our place. As hidden as it may be, do you not think enemies might happen upon us? Those who wish you harm, who wish my identity, who wish to take our secrets and knowledge. Learn from this, that this city is not safe. Important matters are not handled with the brash actions of a hotheaded fool. It is unity that keeps us. I have brought you here so that you may meet with me and ask the questions that plague your minds. The library tells me that you have been anxious to meet me." The weight of a gaze passed over the three, pausing and stopping on Alaina at his last words.
[13:19] Alaina Amat lets Kate grab ahold of her arm and brings her closer to her sliding an arm around her to make her feel a little more safe. She takes her attention towards the axe and then back to the one who was speaking, hearing the creepy smotionless shushing noise behind them. "I completely understand that Mr. E wished to remain unknown, however we got an invitation to meet with him, clearly you can't expect us to walk into a building inhabited with a bunch of cloaked and masked figures whom we don't know and feel comftorable. I don't know any of you, do you think I would feel comftorable talking about important things with my supposed leader in front of people I don't know. And if Mr. E has no face or anything, how do I know its not just some random hobo in a cloak trying to get into library business? You see my point here?", she asks sternly, her eyes bouncing from person to person.
[13:20] NicoleA Stine looks at Alaina as she speaks and once she is done turns her attention to Mr E and wais for his response
[13:21] Katelyn Brim gives a quick, confused glance at the figure behind her for saying 'patience.' As Mik spoke, she felt a chill come over her as ehr panic rose, trying to pull on Alaina harder, her body tense and ready to pounce and run. "Along with those, sir, of course we understand privacy and whatnot is needed. But right now, my instincts are telling me to give into the fight or flight. So give me a good reason right now before I do one or the other."
[13:22] Iniko Mofanui: (Sister Pisica) casts an amused glance over the librarian's heads in Mr. E's direction. "You know because he is in the company of Seekers," she tells Alaina in the same hushed whisper as before.
[13:22] Felice Nightfire: (Mother Dementia) looks over her shoulder, holding her axe more steady as she listens then looks back, "We are as one Alaina... answers would only lead to more questions. I you'd rather though, we could moves in closer. Get to know each other better...." she chitters , "We know you pretty well at this point." she tilts her head hearing Katelyn, her shoulder slumping, "We're here for your protections if you're going to wiggle and worm the whole time over it."
[13:24] NicoleA Stine looks over at the figure who pulled the ax then back to Mr E "You obvious dont want us dead cuz this one would have used the ax already and the one behind us would have drawn her weapons, So tell us, what are your plans for us"
[13:25] 9hole Resident: (Brother Rat) lets out emotionless chuckle that in its very way contradicts itself. He did not move nor did he draw his staff that was on his back. His voice still cloaked in that ancient elemental void "Seekers are here...and everywhere dear librarians. No matter where you would run we would be there. If we wished you harm...Let me assure you....Harm would have come for you already. Thou...." Hood turns towards the cloaked person wielding the axe as he says "Accidents do happen when people are hasty...Isnt that right Mother Dementia?"
[13:26] Iniko Mofanui: (Sister Pisica) folds both hands over the shaped muzzle of her mask, shoulders shaking as if with silent laughter.
[13:28] Alaina Amat looked to Kate in an attempt to comfort her, "Don't you worry, besides if we were invited here I doubt anyones gonna want you dead or anything, besides, what good are dead librarians? IF it is Mr. E then he might be able to understand that for his safety and our own theres nothing wrong with being a little extra cautious who we talk to about what.", she then glanced towards the axed figure. "You might as well put that thing down, because right now it is as good as plasitc if your truly here for Mr. E and he wants us to be given the opportunity to ask questions.", she tells her coldly, not liking drawn weapons, but she took her advice and it encouraged her to ask more questions. She turned her gaze back to the one asking the axed figure about accidents, narrowing her eyes. "I can already tell, i'm not too fond of you ...", she sneered. "Your right, accidents do happen thus the reason your here.", she says and looks to the supposed Mr. E. "Alright, if your Mr. E then prove it, I want you to tell me what yo
[13:28] Alaina Amat: u know, how you know us, and then I have a couple questions if you don't mind."
[13:29] Katelyn Brim glances around, the panicked gaze going over everyone. "If this city is so horrible, how do we know you guys are truely Seekers and not some group of people who overheard the term associated with the Library and thus is trying to get information out of us or just have the amusement of screwing with us? Can't help it if we're paranoid..." She looked towards the one weilding the ax, keeping a cautious look at it while listening to the figure. "If you know us so well, prove it." After hearing the chuckle and speech, she looks confused at him and tilts her head to the side, not paying attention to the one behind her. A cold attitude came over her features. "Accidents surely are unfortunate," she said like ice, a threat that could go either way.
[13:32] Felice Nightfire: (Mother Dementia) looks back to Brother Rat, "If you mean Brother Veritas or Brother Eclipse... then yes... accidents happen quite violently and blood thirsty." she say, a low rumble to her voice, rich and thickly sweet. She tilts her head again, hearing movment go past as she listened also to the three of them, "I keep it drawn as this place is still far too open... I am here for your protection little bookworms." she mutters, "You have every reason to be afraid, if you were not I'd have second thoughts on you...." she whispers.
[13:33] KurikoOkita Resident: (Mr. E) "My plans are to unite the library once more. We are a strong hand, idle in our efforts. That must change. We are the keepers of knowledge within the city, not food for the creatures here. The city underestimates us, the power and potential our librarians host, and this is to our benefit. However, to take our stand, this requires dedication." The room suddenly began to grow cold, the air a heavy weight. "The library walls are my ears. I know you both well. It is I who commanded Alaina to find the vampire for her revenge, I who have been working and observing the work of the librarians, watching over the return on your efforts. Ask your questions, Alaina, so that I may ask mine."
[13:37] 9hole Resident: (Brother Rat) hood turns back to Alaina after a moment and that feeling of tension increases after her words. The voice still changed as he spoke "Accidents happen when people are hasty, nerveous and make assumptions. And you can be sure. There is no one playing the part of seekers in this city. We tend to such matters and copycats....As I'm sure you realised that already. And what comes to me being here...As I am referred to.....I'm a rat...a despicable creature but one that survives when all else dies....And when needed I'll go through hardk bed rock if needed to get where I need to go. If that does not satisfy your opinion on why I'm here then you may ask Mr E about it." Finally he leans against the wall in relaxed manner again and goes silent and the tension seems to ease up but only a little. And the easing up is far more nerve recking than it increasing.
[13:40] Iniko Mofanui: (Sister Pisica) idly picks at one of the metal claws affixed to her fingertips, the hood turning for a brief look toward the door she blocks, gaze scanning along the windows before it returns to the librarians.
[13:41] Alaina Amat listened to Felice and that made sense, guarding the meeting from unwanted eyes, hearing what sounded like true intentions, she told herself that she was alright, that was one cloaked figure down and the others to go. Wanting to get verification from all if not most that it would be safe to speak freely without the danger of accidently forwarding information to decals or fakes. After this she turned to look at the one behind her, still holding on to Kate as to comfort her. This one hadn't seemed as threatening, merely giving tips and advice, everything had checked out as well with her, she seemed to be in sync with the others. She thought twice when peering over to the one closest to the supposed Mr. E, as he was the fiestiest of them all, his intentions a little unclear and still were, his accidents happen statement made her a little on edge, but seeing that the others had checked out and hearing Mr. E speak about something that only him and her would know, she let his words slide and all was well and i
[13:41] Alaina Amat: n check. She lowered her guard and grew less tense, giving a small smile to Kate. "Alright, I think they check out, all is well, if they were our enemies and know this much about us as it was, i think we'd be screwed anyways.", she tells her reassuringly looking to Mr. E. "Alright, i'd like to know where you see us going, how do you plan on gaining the cities respect, its judgments and condemptions are so cold towards ua all."
[13:44] Iniko Mofanui: (Sister Pisica) glances aside at Mother Dementia and nods once for no apparent reason whatsoever. "Clever, clever," she croons in her whisper, flicking claws at nothing.
[13:45] Felice Nightfire: (Mother Dementia) ticks her head back to Siser Pisica. "By my wafting wing the city will fall." she whispers then looks on to Mr. E for his answer.
[13:47] Katelyn Brim continues to give a cold stare, understanding what Alaina was saying, She broke away from her hold and moved around the space enclosed by the hooded figures, watching each one intently before returning to her position beside Alaina. "Is everything truely secure? Such as the surroundings? I'm sure other people have eyes and ears in walls. At Ditched's words and actions, she gave a confused look but thought that maybe they were able to communicate in an odd way. After Felice's words, a shiver went through her body and she felt herself sweat a bit, but decided she or her sister were in trouble right now, so she simply ignored the interaction between the two figures. "Mr. E," she started, turning fully to him, "Why would we be here, and not the Library?"
[13:47] Iniko Mofanui: (Sister Pisica) mimes blowing a kiss to Mother Dementia. "By your wafting wing and my insidious whisper, trickling like poison in the ears of all," she whispers back.
[13:52] KurikoOkita Resident: (Mr. E) "The city is blind." The hood slowly nodded at Mother Dementia's words. "As I have said, the library will be united once more. We will hold the keys to the city, whatever the fools may think of it, leave them be. Respect or fear, either would be deemed appropriate should they understand who we are. We are to hold the information of the city, we must work as a unit, come to the aid of our brothers and sisters, and infultrate the minds of those who dwell in this place." The weight of Mr. E's gaze slowly slid back to Katelyn. "The library is a public place. Our meeting is hidden and not meant for the eyes or ears of others." The cloaked figure took another step forward. "Are there more questions before I begin my own?"
[13:54] Alaina Amat listened to the two behind them converse back and forth, a small smirk forming on the more gentle features of her face. The two of them reminded her of herself and Kate. The thought of that made her a little more comftorable, despite the fact they were talking about poison. As she listened to Mr. E she figured she would let her do someof the talking, it was only fair and besides she was quite interested in the types of questions she would have, she listened closely, happy to see Kate had calmed down a bit. "I'm all ears, Mr. E, ask away with all due respect.", she says and gives him a slight bow.
[13:55] NicoleA Stine looks at the other librarians then back at Mr E "I have no question at this this time.
[13:57] Felice Nightfire: (Mother Dementia) looks on to Mr E then slings her axe back at hearing Alaina. She crosses her arms and side steps up against the wall. She leans against it and keeps careful watch, her feet sperated, her black eyes keep.
[13:57] Katelyn Brim nods, looking at Mr. E. "Is this place secure then? And other than caution, I do not feel I have any questions at the moment, so please go ahead with your own." Her voice was still cold and slightly unemotional.
[14:02] 9hole Resident: (Brother Rat) hood turns to observe Mother Dementia move to lean on the wall before his hood turned back to observe the librarians infront of him. The red orbs that served as his eyes on the blue mask shone eerie light that seemed to pierce through the librarians as if seeing everything. He remained mostly silent for now other than odd chuckle here and there that just made him look like a lunatic. The glowing orb of the staff emitting a wiff of smoke looking stuff seemed moved about with the wind even thou they were indoors. His hood turning towards Mother Dementia once more "By poison or misdirection....we dig the ground from underneath them before they even know it....." He again does that creepy chuckle that is so out of place as it had no emotion at all.
[14:03] KurikoOkita Resident: (Mr.E) "Your devotion to your home, to the library, is it secure? Do you have ambitions to rise, young librarians, or is your greatest ambition a night of rest after a day of shelving books? If the library is to rise, it is those within it that shine and build upon themselves. They become more, stronger." The air after the rumbling words seemed to be anxious, anxious for their response, anxious for Mr. E to speak again. The hood nodded once, a slow movement after Brother rat spoke. The gaze shifted carefully over those present before returning to view the three librarians that stood before them.
[14:04] Iniko Mofanui: (Sister Pisica) turns to eye the intruder, one hand flying up toward the hilt of a katana. For a moment there, she's tense all over, ready to attack, relaxing only when the intruder leaves the building.
[14:08] Alaina Amat glanced towards the seeker in the corner, looking towards his mask and red balls of light as eyes, his creepy staff. The looking towards the other seekers, seeing the wierd looking face of the one with the axe and the dark purple of the one behind her. "These seekers creep me the !@#* out ..", she whispers to Kate and Nicole before looking back to Mr. E seriously. "I can't speak for the others but I know my intentions are to rise, I don't take kindly to being called a nosey, good for nothing brown nosing book worm. I don't like being taken lightly or underestimated, I think my most recent reports can back up that statement.", she said confidently, looking back to Kate and Nicole waiting for them to reply now and speak on their behalfs.
[14:09] Katelyn Brim give quick answers, stating, "My devotion is secure, my ambition is to do the best to help the Library, whether that is to rise for it, or wait on it. I prefer the rise for it, but I assume some times will not always go very smoothly. I am here for the Library, my services at it's disposal." At Alaina's comment, she looked at everyone at and watched the glowing masked figure, his eyes strange. "I do not consider them completely creepy, but I do see what you mean."
[14:11] NicoleA Stine uncrosses her arms and looks atMr E "If our devotion wasn't secure in ourselves, our home and the library we wouldnt have responded to the summons to meet here. I I follow the principles of Bushidou: Benevolence, Politeness, Bravery, Honor, Justice, Loyalty, and Veracity. I offer you my loyalty"
[14:12] NicoleA Stine takes a step closer to Kate and Alaina in a gesture of solidarity and
takes a strong stance
[14:12] Felice Nightfire: (Mother Dementia) crosses her arms, turning to look again at the three, "All that is needs is the oath... were there the very point then this is a founded conference." she mutters, sounding like she was pleased.
[14:16] 9hole Resident: (Brother Rat) hood turns to observe the three librarians again with that creepy red eyed glare. Then he suddenly just nods as if somehow accepting something. "Yes....Steady minds....Yet they still need training....They can better themselves...But they've managed to calm themselves and keep their brain working....Even now....They are observing...Judging......We shall see...we shall see....." He then again chuckles that emotionless chuckle while nodding some more as if apparasing somekind of book as is it good or not.
[14:19] Iniko Mofanui: (Sister Pisica) eyes each of the girls in turn, studying them for several minutes at a time, as if weighing the worth of their words. At length she nods slowly, once, and turns her attention to Mr. E.
[14:24] KurikoOkita Resident: (Mr.E) nodded, the air in the room changing as if it were breathing around them. "Then you will become seekers. You will learn our ways. When you return to the library, you will find a newly written handbook. There have been changes made within it, be sure to study it carefully. You will write a name, your seeker identity. Share this with no one. Deliver this name to me and you will learn what it is to be one of us. Nicole, Alaina, Katelyn, you have worked hard for the library, continue in your efforts and the rewards will be great. I want you each to begin work to find valuable information...There was a masquerade at the Kindred house, I expect a report of what took place. Each of you should work yourselves into good company with another house of this city, whether this be through business and trade, or social situations. Remember to keep distance enough to focus on your goal to seek information. I wish to know more of the werewolves, the prowlers, and the shadows. Be wary of these groups, librarians, for t
[14:24] KurikoOkita Resident: hey are not to be trifled with. Remember what I have told you about unity and caution and you will prosper." The cloaked figure raised a hand toward them, motioning the seekers around them to allow them out. "In the light were are hailed, in the darkness we are feared. We shall keep our brothers and sisters close, but our enemies shall we always keep dear. Unseen we will reveal all which is hidden, Adeptly we know all that is written, and by our Meciless we shall smote all who decieve us. However, it is our Thought that keep us bound, our Realist that holds our ground and our Dreamer that will pull us on high above the rest."
[14:26] Katelyn Brim feels a shiver down her spine at Mik, and does her best not to look directly into his gaze, but to still look at his mask. After his talk, she gave a confused look, but then figured it was as good as praise here, so she nodded to him in gratitude. She decided it best to acknowledge the others in this manner, and turned slightly to Felice and then Inky, nodding slightly to each before returning her full gaze to Mr. E and dipped her head lower than she had with the others. She figured there was nothing she could really say, so she kept quiet.
[14:27] NicoleA Stine push her shoulders back and stands strong giving Mr E a nod then looking around the room at the other three cloaked figures
[14:27] Iniko Mofanui: (Sister Pisica) bows her head briefly to Mr. E and steps back, leaving the way she had blocked open. "Welcome, sisters," she whispers, and at last there's some form of emotion in her voice, a smile audible in the hushed tones.
[14:29] Felice Nightfire: (Mother Dementia) nods slightly and keeps to the wall, not interfering with their passage, "This city will fear the light." she whispers.
[14:30] 9hole Resident: (Brother Rat) makes single nod to the librarians as he spoke "And thus you shall become hidden, sisters...." His tone still void of emotion yet there was a clear hint of respect in the voice as if congratulating them on accomplishing something great already.
[14:31] Katelyn Brim nods to the group as a whole and tries to grab a hold of Alaina's arm again.
[14:33] Katelyn Brim nods to the group as a whole and tries to grab ahold of Alaina's arm again. "I take it we're done then?" she asked, pausing for a moment before she started walking away, hoping to pull Alaina with her. "Thanks for the information, we'll go to the Library right now."
[14:35] Alaina Amat realized that everyone was getting a little more comftorable, with that in mind she still maintained a little bit of her guard, just to be certain that she left no open vulnerabilities to herself or the other two librarians behind her. She turned to look towards the seeker in the corner again, muttering to herself. "Yeah you'll see alright buddy ..", she said in a voice so low that noone would be able to understand her. In a way she felt as if she was being judged, but that was alright, as far as she was concerned, bring it on, she had nothing to hide, her actions as of recent have proven beneficial to success. She listened closely to Mr. E when he spoke, taking special care to remember what he had instructed them so that she could start and make more goals, already she was pushing her limits. She took one last look at Mr. E before speaking, "Thank You for your time, it's very much appreciated and you will hear from me very shortly, i'll write to you in form of a letter, I have a lot you would be interes
[14:35] Alaina Amat: ted in.", she assured him before looking to the other seekers, heading their welcome. "Thank you, it is very much appreciated.", she spoke, feeling the tug on her arm seeing Kate wanted to head out. With that in mind she turned towards the exit with Kate in tote.
[14:37] NicoleA Stine nods to MrE and the rest then turns and heads for the library
[14:37] Katelyn Brim still feels a bit jittery, so as soon as she reached the opening, she bolted, rushing Alaina along with her.
