Nocturnal Memoirs: An Urban-Fantasy Mafia Epic

Also heads up, I have 4 assignments due by the 19th of Feb, I'm gonna try (Emphasis on Try) to smash them out pretty quickly so I can not think about this course until they tell me I passed or not; so if I'm slow, I'm sorry ^^;;

Nocturnal Memoirs: An Urban-Fantasy Mafia Epic

*does his daily check in on this thread, which is nowhere near often enough to keep up with all of the other players shenanigans*

...Well... I feel like I should get some popcorn for this.

@Herald

Amen to that, I was away all day and I come back to more thirst.

Nocturnal Memoirs: An Urban-Fantasy Mafia Epic

Mia

Mia Delurge

23 | Female | Doctors Daughter - The Black Web

Description:
Not much is known about Mia, it is even unknown if she’s the Doctor’s biological daughter or not.
She appeared by his side one day, she must have been around 16 years old; and has been kept in his shadow for many years; learning, growing, believing, yearning.

She’s quiet, and loyal to the Cult of the Black Web, wanting nothing other than her fathers success; but deep down, she doesn’t believe what he’s fighting for is what will happen.
She likes flowers, even though she doesn’t get them often due to her underground living.
Now she’s at the age that she wants to get out more, the Doctor has agreed to send her on some missions; only if she knows she will be safe.

If she has a Gyft, she hasn’t shown it to the world; or her father is keeping it under wraps.

Gyft: ???

The Morrigan

Unknown

Unknown, Rumoured to be over 90 | Female | The Morrigan - Unknown Alliance

Description:
No one really knows when The Morrigan appeared; said to be from before the wall happened in Nocturnia, also said to be someone who walked alongside the Beggar Prince before the Gyfts appeared.
Her real age is a mystery, she speaks fondly of the Beggar Prince; as if they were close friends, possibly even family. She is mysterious and deadly, appearing almost out of nowhere whenever she’s needed.

Nowadays, the Morrigan is almost like a curse word; her name is not used in direct conversation, often simply referred to as ‘The Watcher’.
For she is always watching, always watching.

Crows will tell her the secrets, she will listen to the Crows. But does it just stop at crows? Do other avians’ lie under her control as well?

No one knows really what she wants from this place; maybe she’s protecting her home? Maybe she’s wanting full control.
There’s only one thing known about the Morrigan; she is everywhere.

Gyft: Crow manipulation.
The Morrigan is known for being able to talk to, communicate and see through the crows of Nocturnia.

I gots new friends uwu

As Ezra’s message popped up on the Doctors’ phone, he gave a bit of a grumble but sent off an ‘Okay’ to the Midnight Man.

The Doctor leaned back in his chair as he closed his eyes for a moment, his hands moving to briefly reach under his mask to rub his cheeks.
”Annoying to not meet the man himself, but we’ll see what a lackey can give us in terms of information.” He spoke to himself before he heard footsteps behind him. ”Another Rumor?”

There was silence from the hooded figure behind their Leader, the Doctors eyebrows furrowed when he wasn’t answered before he turned to face the figure. There was silence between each other before the Doctor moved the clasp his hands in front of his mask with narrowed eyes.
”You’ve seen him.”
The figure gave a small nod, moving to sign with their hands; it was a form of sign language, but not one that was known to many.
”The Canary?” He raised an eyebrow and straightened up slightly.

There was more hesitation before the Doctor gave a small sigh, moving to stand up slowly before he stepped towards the figure, towering over them by at least a head.
”You’ve done well. You can rest now.” He moved to put a hand gently on the figures shoulder before he walked off to his chambers.

Abandoned Warehouse, Iron Gate

_Thursday

The Doctors phone buzzed as he got the text that Alastor sent him, giving a small nod before he motioned for a couple of cult members to keep a watch on the entries after Alastor entered.

”You must be the Midnight Mans’ La- Friend.” He caught himself on saying ‘lackey’, ”I hope you- and by extension he- are able to help me with some… information.”

Alastor rolled his head a bit, glancing down at the Doctor through half-lidded eyes. ”Don't expect it to be free. What information are you looking for?”

The Doctor gave a small smile, ”I don’t expect anything for free; my friend.” He said, he crossed his arms carefully as he watched Alastor carefully, ”I’ve heard rumors of something important to me, and I need to find the truth.”

The Doctor moved his hand, a tendril of shadow moving quickly along the ground before shooting up beside Alastor; a slightly blurred picture of Webb.
”This one has been seen alongside your Midnight Man.” He allowed Alastor a bit of time to look at the picture before he continued talking. ”It’s important that I find him, he’s… Important to my group. We can’t have him running amock without anyone watching him.”

Alastor raised an eyebrow. ”...Alright. Say I had seen him. What would you do? Kid's got a right to freedom of movement.”

If this guy thought he was going to interfere with a job the boss gave the spider-kid, he'd have to think again. Carefully.

”I am not disagreeing with that fact.” The Doctor said as he narrowed his eyes slightly, of course it wasn’t seen under the mask. ”I just wish to harness his abilities and help him become stronger.”

A half truth, he wanted to harness Webbs abilities, but only to make himself stronger.
The shadows twisted around the man slightly, like ebbing water that was attracted to the man.
”I promise he will not be harmed if we find him.”

Alastor cupped his chin with a hand, pretending to consider it. ”Hm. An unknown shadow organization promising good intentions, and overall sending up a lot of red flags.”

He shrugged, backing up a couple feet towards the exit. ”Sorry, but I can't help you.”

The Doctor narrowed his eyes at Alastors’ actions and words, he bared his teeth- unseen under his mask of course - before he twisted a hand upwards.

The shadows resting around him suddenly jolted, twisting across the ground like angry pythons before suddenly erupting around Alastor; attempting to grapple him and hold him in place.

About thirty seconds before The Doctor's attack shot forth, Alastor raised an eyebrow at the yellow filaments exploding around him. So, it was a very easy matter to see the attack coming, and slide his body out of the way in the most perfect way.

Then, he aimed his revolver at The Doctor's chest.

”You might not know this, but I can see every way you're thinking to move. You won't be able to dodge this bullet. So I suggest you apologize for getting dust on my shoes, and I'll take my leave.”

The Doctor snarled towards Alastor as he dodged his attack, his shadows bubbled aggressively around him. He was weighing his choices; deal with this pest or let them go and try his luck with the Canaries.
”Take your leave then.” He hissed, narrowing his eyes under his mask, ”Just let your Midnight Man know that its’ not smart to anger the Black Web.”

Alastor tilted his head, gun still fixed on the Doctor. ”Likewise.”

The Doctor moved to unclip a walkie-talkie on his waist, bringing it up to his mask.
”Let him leave. We’ll get the Token elsewhere.” He spoke into it, keeping his eyes on Alastor.

”Smart move, doc.” Alastor said bluntly, before stepping back towards the exit, never taking his eyes off the Doctor. Then he hopped in a waiting vehicle outside and was gone.

The Doctor waited for a couple minutes once the car was gone to step outside himself, furrowing his brow before he pulled out his phone. "Get Mia Ready. She's needed for a mission."

Security was tightened around Webb's place of lodging. Two guards would be posted outside his door throughout the night. This would ensure a higher level of safety while still maintaining Webb's privacy. And, as much as possible, they would try to keep a pair of eyes on him up until he reached Silverside. Once in Silverside, it would, alas, be the Canaries responsibility to care for their newest worker.

Webb of course, was really none the wiser; unless Ezra would specifically tell him that he needed to be watched.

Now now, why would y'all even have beef with Ezra? Matthias would probably only really get involved if Aden asks him for help, due to his current focuses elsewhere.

@ERode

Ezra has only done good for Webb so he likes the Midnight man xD

<Snipped quote by SporkoBug>

Umbra: The Abyssal Connection

Wren is entirely ready to fuck shit up ahahah, he and Val have the biggest fusions in terms of their Wilds.

Umbra: The Abyssal Connection

Ehlm City, Approaching the Central Spectral Woods

Wren used the hours to show Ebony the basics of using a pistol, even offering one of his own to the kid; in case they needed to use it.
Occasionally the older male looked out the windows of the convoy to see the trees, instinctively glancing down to Mimi, who was curled on the ground, resting with their eyes closed; but they were tense.

Ferz understood why the other Wild would be tense, but he wasn't going to bring it up.

The drive spoke through to them that there was an obstacle, Wren tilted his head in slight confusion before the Convoy all but screamed to a halt.
"What in the-" Wren asked as he looked outside, furrowing his brow as he heard Savio call out. "Shit." He whispered before he looked around to listen to what everyone else thought to do.

Ebony gave a squeak when Val gave them his rifle, gripping it gently as to not drop the weapon. They hesitated with a bit of a nod when told not to use it unless they needed to.

Stalker gave a rumble as Val stepped towards him, baring his teeth with a snarl when they referred to as 'cute'; but his attention turned to the convoy as the door let out the scent he wasn't expecting.
"Traitor." He snarled loudly, turning away from Val and stepping towards the Convoy, "Do not think of fleeing; I will have Roose chase you down and snap your pathetic neck."

Mimi had lifted their head when the convoy jolted to a halt and listened to the words being spoken, before their feathers prickled aggressively at Stalkers voice.
"Stalker." They hissed, they looked to Wren and then to Ebony, "Little, stay here. These are dangerous." They said before they moved to slip from the truck.

Wren moved and grabbed her midsection just before he hind legs, stopping Mimi from moving for a moment; causing the raptor to give a small honk-like sound in confusion.
"I'm not letting you die." He said sternly, "They're not going to harm you while I'm here."
He moved quickly, slipping out from the convoy vehicle and placed Mimi back into the vehicle. "You stay." He said, almost an order.

When Wren came into view, as the man walked up to the front of the vehicle slowly, no weapons in hand; Stalker gave what sounded almost like a laugh. He found the wild-fused man laughable.
"Ferz, you poor fool; paired to one of the lost feeds?" He rumbled, his attention pulled from Mimi. "The King will find this humorous."

By the way @LanaStorm, did you want to catch one of the Canary NPCs in Smoke Risers? I'll leave it up to you whether the Blue Bloods might find them and take issue.

Also @SporkoBug didn't forget you, will give lil Webb his mission asap.

@Yankee

No rush of course <3
