[color=gray][i]The House on the Hill[/i][/color]

[b]Interactions:[/b] Nora, ([@Shin Ghost Note]), Jack ([@Blizz])

[hr]

Layla perked up as Nora said everything and anything was possible.

[color=7ABBFF][b]“Then… now this is just an idea, but… maybe I could uh, commission a type of cattle prod, something that causes pain for apparitions? Something where I can take measured control on them…?”[/b][/color] She said, choosing her words carefully as she spoke.

[quote=Jack][color=6644ff]”I knew Kari well enough that I would not trust her notes with a group of criminals like your “associates.”[/color][/quote]

Luna looked over at Jack, pressed up against the wall, edgy and cool-looking. Typical of the shadow weaver. She recounted the information she had on him, and a sick pleasure welled in her chest.

Oh, she had a huge bone to pick with him. And he positioned himself in such a way that she could stick him with a needle, and finally clear the air.

She started off easy, allowing a cruel smile to smirk itself across her face, head inclining forward. [color=bcbcbc][b]“Ah. Why don't we just be honest here, Jackie, and say what's really on your mind? You just don't like me, do you?”[/b][/color]

She downed the rest of her drink, heavens knew she would need it for this next bit. A quick wipe of her mouth, before she shrugged. [color=bcbcbc][b]“Well. Might as well address the elephant in the room. You can't do better than what I've proposed, and you hate it. What, you think my friends care about Sycamore? News flash, not anymore. But let's not cloud your judgement. I mean, the judgment of a [i]traitor[/i].”[/b][/color]

Her cruel smile widened. [color=bcbcbc][b]“What, you thought [i]I'd[/i] forget your little stint with Layla?”[/b][/color]

Her head turned over to Layla, sitting in the bar stool only a few feet away. [color=bcbcbc][b]“Layla, why don't you tell them where you got those bandages from, hm?”[/b][/color]

Layla immediately flushed. [color=7ABBFF][b]“I… I don't want to talk about it.”[/b][/color]

Luna slapped the counter. [color=bcbcbc][b]“Oh come on, don't be shy. Really, you might as well scrawl ‘Jackie’ on each cut and bruise.”[/b][/color]

Her eyes returned to Jack, a lightness in her voice that made everything she said seem far less demonic than it actually was. [color=bcbcbc][b]“You know she deals with [i]worse[/i] than the Void Heart now, yes? I've dealt with them directly, so you can't call me out on my bullshit. Little Voidy was a soul-sucker. But the new breed [i]you[/i] unleashed?”[/b][/color]

Her eyes narrowed. [color=bcbcbc][b]“Humans. Raw, half-alive, screaming. That's what they eat. With pleasure. That's what [i]you[/i] did to her. What you released onto the world.”[/b][/color]

Layla looked like she was about to cry. [color=7ABBFF][b]“Luna!”[/b][/color]

Luna just snorted through her nose, eyes half lidded as her head rolled to the side like Valencia's would. [color=bcbcbc][b]“Layla, why you look like you ought to be in a hospital bed than here, huh? Tell me, tell us, don't be shy.”[/b][/color]

Layla was silent.

Luna's cold smile only widened, her voice sickly sweet. [color=bcbcbc][b]“You were attacked, weren't you?”[/b][/color]

More silence.

Luna turned her attention back to Jack, amusement still making her tone light.[color=bcbcbc][b]“And you dare to question the god-send of a solution I've proposed for you. My ‘friends’ get what they want. And if they don't? We take Blake by storm, you and your alliances, and we beat him until he tells us the exact location of those notes.”[/b][/color]
