You don't recognize the man but he smiles a thirty thousand what smile at you. Then stands up from his desk and walks over to examine you.

"You look just like a person," he comments with surprise, "It took me a while to accept that you are actually a thing."

"No matter," he concludes then takes a step back and raises his arms theatrically.

"I require a service of you," he says in badly accented Attic Greek.

GM Prompt: Roll to resist your instinct to serve someone powerful.

"So if Odin.. and Valkyries, then Ragnarök and the Midgard Serpent..." Harald begins to babble to himself, going into a low key eschatological collapse as he mechanically helps lift Sayeeda onto the cot. She opens her eyes, dark pupils flaring, then contracting then settling into something close to their normal size.

"Someone fucking shot me," she hisses. "Then the tried to grab me." She makes a gesture at the P-90 on the floor.

"At least some of them wont be making that mistake again," she grins, teeth very white against her dark lips. The golden halo of her wings snaps spasmodically.

"I came to take a soul for the Hall but they must have been waiting for me," she concludes. Judging by the size of the slug and the fact it was able to pierce her armor, it must have been both enchanted and very heavy caliber.

Unless there are further moves we can skip to you two meeting up. At least you have Chinese food now!

@rush99999 Colby enters though he declines the offer of a soda without comment. He is an athletic looking man for a lawyer and his dark eyes smoulder with something more than determination. There is a faint sharp chemical scent to him.

"Mr January, I will be brief," he says formally, setting his briefcase down and opening the clasps with a snap.

"I'm here on a legal matter with regards to the estate of the late Magus Harold Robinson." As he talks he produces a legal folio marked with a number of seals and sigils.

@rush99999 I actually missed it because it was the last post on the first page and it jumped to page 2. Will address this shortcoming anon.

Lian pauses in the door her cheeks now flushed with embarassment.

"I'm sure I'm just jumping at shadows, I live alone but its a safe neighbourhood," she says.

"Thank you, I've already made kind of a fool of myself. Ill get out of your hair."

"Yes, of course," Lian agrees, squaring her shoulders.

"Look, I'm sorry to have bothered you, I feel kind of silly," she adds, standing up and straightening her clothing. Her obvious fear is rapidly transmuting into embarassment.

"I'll head home, I'm sorry to have bothered you." Without further comment she heads out the door and down the hall.

The police get you handcuffed and drag you into the back of a police cruiser, scattering civilians before them. Once they have you secured they cover you head with a black bag. You can hear the sounds of traffic as they drive you somewhere downtown. You are marched into a building, still blind, and sat down in a chair. Chains are fastened around your wrists and legs. Finally the bag is removed and you find yourself in a comfortable office, face to face with a handsome man in an expensive suit.

GM Prompt: He is mortality when you roll ;)

The Valkyrie stirs as her armor is removed, revealing her sculpted muscular form. Harald is sweating profusely as he peels back her bloodied undershirt. A bloodied wound mars her lower right side, a red welt surrounded by a mass of bruised flesh. Harald touches the wound with gloved hands and winces, then reaches into his medical bag and retrieves a pair of forceps.

"Hold her down," he instructs, and then reaches in with the silvery tool. The Valkyrie starts awake, lips drawing back from white teeth in a snarl of pain.

"Hold her!" Harald shouts and heaves back. There is a horrible sucking sound and then a pop as he pulls out a bloodied bullet. It drops to the floor and rolls to your feet as the Valkyrie subsides. Harald takes a bottle from his bag and cleans the wound then packs it with gauze.

"She really should go to a real hospital. She has lost a lot of... gold shit," he adds helplessly.

Lian looks momentarily confused and defeated as though she has been struggling with the same question.

"I don't even know what is wrong," Lian admitted, fiddling with a button on her jacket and sighing deeply.

"When my grandmother tells people things, its not always obvious why," Lian continues, then gives a brittle laugh.

"People say she can see the future, but she some how never comes right out and tells people what is going to happen," she mutters in frustration.
