Log, Taking of Vitae Toxcitiy : Angeline
[18:46] Montwyte Blackrain: had been easing around the room with a thick weathered text open in his raised palms. Nose pointed at the page in concentration, his hair blocked his veiw of the door but the sound of the key and latch, along with a familiar walk, informed him the Angeline was back. "I'm not busy, this is, has been puzzling me for a few days. How's Amber and Lauren and such." Mont places a cloth book mark on the page and folds the volume closed.
[18:46] J.T. Masterson (jax.mcmasters) entered draw distance (114.73 m).
[18:53] Niobe Flux [Angeline] sighed as she settled onto the chaise, tucking her skirts around her thighs. " Lauren and Amber are doing well. Amber's little Horus is getting bigger by the day. I heard a bit of unsettling news about Lady Ellori. Seems she is doing rather unwell recovering from a birthing. A rather strange new doctor is in town by the by, Dr Blake I think his name was. Odd little fellow. Seemed to have a little too much interest in little Horus if you ask me. Something about him does not set right by me." She gestured with her hands while she gossiped. Her cigarette holder trailing a fine line as she moved.
[19:14] Montwyte Blackrain set the tome on the table and drifted over near her seat. "Lady D'Rais' likely included some ritual work in her pregnancy, you do recall she birthed some spirit out for the colonel. Likely, she's doing risky magik again. I wonder what the child looks like? What's the other, some new doctor leering at Amber's child, that's creepy." He looked down to admire her and noticed the rose and feathers of her new hat. "I do like that hat by the way."
[19:17] Anam (anamuddin) entered draw distance (127.25 m).
[19:20] Niobe Flux [Angeline] reached up tp touch her hat, rather pleased with the item, "Thank you. Oh, bit of sour news, Apprentice Bijou broke some flasks while cleaning the lab ware earlier today. I'm making her go to the city to replace them."
[19:22] Montwyte Blackrain winced and wondered what Bijou broke, "Hm, she might consider a shopping trip a treat. Mind she doesn't drop more just to get a scolding and a train ticket." Mont moved the hair out of his face casually and tied it back in no hurry.
[19:26] Niobe Flux [Angeline] frowned slightly, giving a nod towards her husband, " Mmm, yes. That is a good point, and one that had not crossed my mind. " Lauren says to stay out of the woods, they aren't safe. Amber fell into some trance by that corpse fire the other night. Sounded like Lauren had to make sure she didn't burn herself."
[19:27] J.T. Masterson (jax.mcmasters) entered draw distance (133.32 m).
[19:29] Shani (shanitah) entered draw distance (133.53 m).
[19:30] Montwyte Blackrain nods considering the the gossip, "So Lauren is hinting that the mages in town have lost ground to the werewolves and stay out the woods eh, hmm. Not that we needed the woods, but the reduced range isn't good news."
[19:35] Niobe Flux [Angeline] rolled the cigarette holder between her fingers, " Well I would not say lost ground. I have no plans to stop reading in the Ravenswood. I enjoy the woods, but in light of the all talk of werewolves and vampires then perhaps a bit of caution is advised. Nick's body did have a stake in it after all."
[19:35] Shani (shanitah) entered draw distance (134.57 m).
[19:38] Montwyte Blackrain nodded a second time, "I said they'd get around to this place eventually, it's been weeks since I finished that master level potion that makes one's blood toxic to the supernaturals that normally pursue it. " Shrugged , the knelt down going for a lock box under the bed. "I've been using it for a while."
[19:43] Niobe Flux [Angeline] leaned forward to watch as Mont opened up the strong box. " I think there is no time greater than the present to have a dose of that potion. I have a few ideas bouncing around that I need to work on. Personal warding for one, and area warding for another. A town full of beings slightly more than mortal has me concerned for securities sake."
[19:48] Montwyte Blackrain removed a key from a small necklace chain and squinted to see the key hole in the shadowy corner by the bed. Opening the lid part way he slided a hand in to deactivate the trap by a small switch. "It tastes like wormwood and ashes, there are three doses left currently. A added side benefit is that our blood could also be used to venomize mundane weapons against them." Going for a small labeled box inside that sat among ones similar, Mont retrieves two stoppered tubes of ruby red liquid. "I know, wards....I hadn't started any, and those walls and doors might as well not exist. We do have my two elementals, and maybe a third on the way."
[19:48] Doc (obtuse.eternal) entered draw distance (133.19 m).
[19:56] Niobe Flux [Angeline] arched a brow when Mont told her the potion's flavor. "There are worse tastes to be had. Ashen wormwood, it is then."
[19:58] Montwyte Blackrain offered one vial to Angeline, "Then again, what are we defending beyond person. We have earned our mage sigils in the order and can skip town for better." Opening his own potion with one hand and drinking it, grimacing afterward.
[20:03] Niobe Flux [Angeline] took the vial, holding to the light as she studied the red liquid. " At any rate it looks lovely." she unstopped the potion, holding it to her lips. She tilted the vial upward and poured the nauseous liquid down her throat. " Oh gods." She held a hand to her mouth trying not to gag at the taste.
[20:06] Montwyte Blackrain nodded yet again, making a equally twisted face. Still the awful flavor lingered and opening the mouth to speak shortly after seemed to amp the taste. "I wouldn't drink it without a reason. It also has a floating chaotic potential that I couldn't isolate out, it has the potential for side effects. And, careful if you drink other potions since this one is constant running for a month, they might cross."
[20:12] Niobe Flux [Angeline] gave a body shudder before nodding her head. " I doubt that would be an issue. This potion may be the only one I take for a while. The flavor leave a lot to be desired but, the effect is worth it."
[20:16] Montwyte Blackrain quickly packed an opium bowl and took a hit, passing it onto the seat next to her. "So in the morning you'll be researching perimeter warding and such I'd guess. I'll put studying about water elementals on hold, they are strange enough I'll have to spend weeks on it, but not now. " Mont eased onto thh pillows and mellowed into a relaxed pose.
[20:21] Niobe Flux [Angeline] picked up the pipe with a grateful smile, taking several short puffs to help wash the foul taste from her mouth. She leaned back, taking long drag from the pipe, " Yes, seems like that would be a wise thing to do. The sooner the better."
[20:21] Montwyte Blackrain digressed due to his intoxication, "Earth elementals seem easy, except...they are pricey and very susceptible to falling apart under the disbelief of noncasters. Still, where to keep it was my concern. Air and shadow pack easily into vessel items, but and earth woulf have such a blatant manifestation and take a staff or such at the least. Gaudy magus staves with figureheads and gems aren't fashionable." He blinked back to concerns and plans.
[20:22] Montwyte Blackrain: but an earth*
[20:22] Montwyte Blackrain: tired :)
[20:23] Niobe Flux [Angeline] pointed with the pipe, " Yes, wrads tomorrow. Provided I don't stop to gossip at the Butter Cross." She yawnd, leaning her head back to rest upon the cushions and began to doze off into a ligh slumber.
[20:24] Niobe Flux: wards*
[20:24] Montwyte Blackrain collect the pipe and caught a final long drag before passing out for the night.
