Ch. 36 Fitting this starts on Halloween

Alice replies to isamu over the radio. "We have found a presence but I can't tell what or who it is. I tried to read their thoughts and they were very primitive. All I could get was that they were looking for something to eat. Keep going and let me know if you find anything."

She then walks over to Tom and says "I did sense something in there, but I don't know what it is." She then tries to contact Jason over the radio, asking "Status?"

" Be careful Soloman," Ridgemont warned," Oh, yes I almost forgot. I got a message from a friend in Canada who runs a guild library up there. Earl has made inquiries for references on if using metahuman components has any effect on necromancy." He shuddered," Grisly work. Thankfully she gave him nothing."


" I found a couple empty ambulances out back here," Jason replied," but the building door is secured from the inside. I'll come around to the front in a mo... what the heck is that?"

As Alice and Tom enter, the place is dark dan deserted, but the dust on the floor has been disturbed by many sets of footprints. Though not one of her visions, Alice is flooded with a sense of dread as they enter the building.

Kristian continued to drive, glancing over his shoulder," Sierra, nows a perfect opportunity for you to practice copying me and Isamu. You were complaining we weren't giving you enough chances." He turned back to Isamu, " So mon, what did the bosslady say?"

[Dome]

"She said she reached something but could not tell what it was. We should continue on to the next area. Go ahead and try Sierra, however do not try to use it in front of us. That may cause a problem for Kristian's driving."

*the eyes open and she gives a half grin. 'not sure i can do both at the same time. would rather ba able to focus on the one job as opposed to two. sorry. so i think i'll be focusing on this'

[doc]

Tom rolls forward, seemingly ready for anything. "Yeah, this is a bad horror film waiting to happen. "

[Mierin]

Alice replies to Jason "What the heck is what? What is going on? Are you ok?"

[dakota]

Kristian glanced in the mirror to see what Sierra was up to as they continued to drive.

There is a skidding sound as Jason slid to a stop and walked up behind Tom and Alice. " You won't beleive this, but there's something in here that looks like it should be in a Resident Evil movie. I swear Alice, no funny stuff. It looked like a zombie!" He was visibly shaken.

[doc]

Tom sighs. "Great. Well, let's all go take a look to make sure it's for real or just some of my buddies from the film school."

[dakota]

" Man, if your friends are that talented, they should be making films now." Jason replied. " That thing looked real."

[shiivster]

*Sierra looks at Kristian and smiles comfortingly. 'i know .. i could probably do both. practice and sensing at the same time. but since i don't know what i'm doing just yet i'll focus on what i know i can do. not sure that me shifting to stone or gemstone would be good for the car. it makes me wonder if the Brethren is involved, what is the point of them staying a gang? they could have sent gang members instead of taking others'

*she goes quiet and its clear that she's actually holding her tongue still with the teeth. ' ... sorry. blurting again .. ' *she gives a sheepish look and returns to looking out the window and trying to sense where her friends are and maybe figure out 'why' they picked Ashley and Dimitri. without knowing it, she's gone back to holding her tongue still with the teeth again

[dakota]

" You're gonna bite your tongue that way one of these days." Kristian said with a smirk. " I don't know why they stay together, but back home the gangs hung together because of either two things, either protection or money."

[doc]

Tom smirks as he wheels forward. "oh, when it comes to cinematography or FX, yeah, sure. But writing?" Tom rolls his eyes skyward. "They're the kind of kids who grew up watching the same movies and reading trash novels and comics and nothing else."

[Mierin]

Alice shakes her head with a quiet frown on her face. "no, I don't think it is students pretending to be a zombie. I touched something in there, and it's thought process was very primitive.. it was simply concerned with finding something to eat.. there didn't seem to be any higher thought process. And yes, I am familiar with boys in university not thinking much but this was different," Alice adds.

[doc]

"As a boy in university, I resemble that remark, but will not take offense at this time. At any rate, lead the way to this 'zombie'."

As he rolls along. "But, can I ask one thing...seriously...magic? I mean, I know what I saw the professor do back at City Hall, but...Magic is real? Really?" Tom has a rather doubtful expression on his face.

Earl has made inquiries for references on if using meta-human components has any effect on necromancy." He shuddered," Grisly work. Thankfully she gave him nothing."

Solomon suddenly stops and goes pale as his heart sinks to the pit of his stomach. "wait! what?!? meta-humans? necromancy? oh dear God, no. the students. their friends. they're Meta's. there's no time to lose!"

he hurries to his office, locking the door behind him and pulling the shades. sitting at his desk, he begins to quietly focus and meditate. slipping into the ether once again, (astral projection, 6 PPE) he leaves his office, wandering the halls and drawing energy from the students.

he sees goosebumps form on several of their arms and the hair on the backs of their necks stand, as several of them shiver when he floats through them. he knows the feeling of drawing the energy he needs to weave his incantations well. it's the chill that runs up and down one's spine.

his presence has given rise to several stories of hauntings among some of the more perceptive students. he's had to be very careful in the past, but this isn't one of those times. he draws as much energy as he can, as quickly as he can, until he has fully restored his reserves.
