[IC] Behind The Light - crawkid/megara

[Crawkid]

Chi nods and walks off with Aura.

Astra watches with a fascination, shaking he head, "...im not sure..."

[MegaraFoxfire]

Dante glanced at her and said “it looks like when she’s calm her shadows will handle the magic flow without her worrying about it. But it seems she doesn’t know it…”

The shadows pulled back as Bane seemed to came around and opened his eyes. He looked up and saw Ash and said “Lady Ash? What…not again” he tried to sit up, moving his hand to her cheek. “Ash? Ash wake up. Pup come on…”

[Crawkid]

Astra keeps watching and nods, "...and it looks like something else is taking the front seat. I did ask about that earlier...shes likely not aware of it"

[MegaraFoxfire]

Dante shook his head and said “it seems so. We better go help before that old wolf has a stroke” he walked over and knelt down. “Is there a way to aid her when she’s like this?”

Bane looked at the fang, cautiously looking him up and down. “Sometimes I can wake her from it…but it’s like she has no idea when it happens. This started when she first started making the orbs…”

[Crawkid]

"orbs...Hm...well, let me try." she says, coming close and testingly mingling her shadows with the other girls'.

[MegaraFoxfire]

The shadows moved with the elf’s and seemed to respond this time, agreeing with the elf’s shadows. Then they pulled back all the way and the glow faded from Ashs eyes. She blinked and looked around seeing them all there and said “Bane? You okay? Feeling better?”

Bane stared and then said “see? No clue”

[Crawkid]

She nods, withdrawing her shadows once ash seems to have returned, "...suppose you'll need to have her on video then...have you told her yet?"

[MegaraFoxfire]

Bane nodded as he moved to sit on the bed again. “Ya but she doesn’t believe me. And I’ve tried to get a video…but the tech goes black every time” ash blinked and said “you told me my shadows took me over. But I’m in control of them”

[Crawkid]

Astra hums, "...well, it is a frightening prospect, to consider it. But i believe they were responding to her hearts wish."

[MegaraFoxfire]

Ash blinked in confusion and said “wait…it’s true? What happened exactly?” Bane groaned and covered his face. Dante walked up and said “your shadows were helping your friend my angel. And you were singing was lovely”

[Crawkid]

Astra nods slowly, "...I'll have to reconsider... " she falls quiet a bit and then chuckles, "hey, what if you viewed your shadows as...your subjects"

[MegaraFoxfire]

Ash looked at her and said “subjects?” Bane looked up and said “what about more…assistants? Like your bots. If you think of them as bots that you’ve made maybe that will make it easier to understand”

Ash thought for a moment then looked at her own shadow and said “like my bots…okay…they just want to help”

[Crawkid]

"yes, that might help" Astra nods slowly, "definitely different than my magic, or a humans contracts. but if they act on their own, it may work to think of it that way"

[MegaraFoxfire]

Ash looked at her hands and then said “Bane …are you okay?” Bane nodded and said “yes pup I’m fine. Banged up but fine. So” he looked to the others in the room and asked “where am I exactly?”

[Crawkid]

Astra raises an eyebrow, "...youre still in the scrap yard. Or, are you asking who we are?" she hums looking amused, then sighs. "I suppose. We have common enemies after all."

She stands a little taller, "Captain of the Royal Guard. You are currenly within a secret base under the scrap yard, we are an illegal guild called the Black SUn. We use chaos and subterfuge to manipulate happenings in this city to suss out the corruption - bringing it to the surface so that the city can purge itself. We are the unseen hand, the paradoxical darkness to cleanse the light."

[MegaraFoxfire]

Bane leaned back against the wall and said “I’ve heard rumors of you folks…a little out of the box but no one has gotten hurt so I haven’t seen a problem. After what I went through…I’d take you guys over half of the other guilds…” he looked at Ash and asked “have you been taking care of my pup here?”

[Crawkid]

"A little out of the box...but we have to be, when the inside is poisoned." she nods some, " As a matter of fact, you're both our guests tonight. It seems like its a good thing you picked up that stray when you did..."

[MegaraFoxfire]

Bane nodded and said “it seems so. My pin? Is it safe?” Ash nodded and held it out. Bane nodded and said “lady…sorry I don’t think I have caught names fully yet. But that recorder has something you need to see and hear. A start to taking down the trash of this city…”

[Crawkid]

She nods, "We got the idea that it might...thank you for sharing." she looks at ash, "..how do we get the information?"

[MegaraFoxfire]

Ash nodded and got up, moving to her side bag and pulled out a cord. “Got a screen I can use?”
