Mick the Rogue

NEW I'll take Marina and Jason. Initially: Arrangement established approx 1 year ago. Marina heals Jason through sex. They have feelings for each other but hide them. Jason meets Juma when he possesses Marina during the standard morning ritual. Juma charges Jason with looking after Marina and challenges him to be a cacique (PR native term for "chief": a tie-in to Marina's heritage as his great x infinity-niece and Jason's police dynasty family) Marina and Jason gradually fall in love but don't talk about it. He spends more time at her place until eventually they have a very significant 24 hours between the balcony at her apartment and a fight at his, where they say, "I love you" Jason surprises Marina with the suggestion of buying a house together. He plans on selling his townhouse and Marina would give up her apartment. 🎲 Arcane_Desperado 🎸 — Today at 7:23 PM CCPD has corruption, Sarah shot Jason, but thats still an unknown. She was somehow related to Eric's murder. Vampires potentially involved with the police corruption as well. Sarah or some vampires helped break out the serial killer that Jason was able to capture thanks to first contract he made with Rati Akwehawk — Today at 7:24 PM Daemon inherited the family business; bound with an ancient ghost; doing it ten years to game time met Marina about two years in and they would exchange jobs Daemon is consistently lied to by Gabriel (have since reached some type of understanding) and had feelings for Marina Found out Gabriel lied and planned on advancing relationship with her; same time Jason enters picture so Daemon backs off, will do anything for her Daemon increasingly erratic and reckless; working on coming to terms with it Daemon and Gabriel now work together in "sync", so essentially Gabriels powers are Daemons Falene (Larissa O'Neil) — Today at 7:33 PM Marina herself: initially afraid but Juma has been a leader and support for her she is the daughter of Jumas sister many generations ago. She is what he calls bohíque: a priest/spiritual communicator for the Taíno tribe Juma and Marina connect daily through a morning ritual before sunrise Marina has integrated Juma's lessons and is less afraid, more confident, and has regular communicates with spirits Marina helps with mainly "soft" jobs: helping families and ghosts achieve peace Marina's ghostly communication/channeling makes her face take on a fuck-me-eyes (MW translation: bedroom eyes) expression. Jason gave her his aviators to disguise the look when in public. She bought him designer replacement aviators. Juma is invested in developing Jason into a leader for Marina, since he knows he won't be around forever if Marina achieves his goals (edited) [7:37 PM] Marina and Daemon: met about ten years ago and decleoped a friendship. He took the harder, violent jobs. She took the jobs that required a more delicate touch once close friends, now somewhat weirdly distant as they navigate their relationship With Jason as he love interest despite Daemon's feelings Daemon left after seeing Jason and Marina together, which triggered her abandonment issues Marina will still do anything for Daemon, but she's reserved in her expression at the moment [7:38 PM] Johan is someone Marina enjoys the finer things in life with: art, culture, etc. Nero is her constant companion and beloved (read: spoiled) pet Akwehawk — Today at 7:43 PM Daemon also; he is paid by sponsors (church, and possibly Venatori if allowed) he has a network of contact (other hunters) he sometimes works with his brand (which binds Gabriel to him) burns when in the presence of supernatural, he learned to interpret the sensation amongst supers he knows Daemon "broke", burned his estate (since rebuilt) to the ground, sent Marina a letter confessing all his secrets and tried to kill himself Gabriel stopped him and he left the country for about 3 months, returned to Marina. Shortly after a vampire (same one Jason's ex is apparently worked with) became a problem. That was dealt with. Now Daemon is distancing himself from them for a bit to get his head on straight 🎲 Arcane_Desperado 🎸 — Today at 7:52 PM A lot of Jason's stuff has been covered amid other peoples stuff Lots of covert sneaking into locations "off the books" to try and dig up more on the corruption that ties into drug dealing and illegal weapons. Lots of fights. Hence more time at Maria's Utilizing more contracts. Some on a temp basis, some more long term. Learning to hone powers and payment with them. Set up "Brinks" as a security system in Maria's apartment, that has the 911 call list if something happens to her. Paging everyone on the list (all the PCs) and the police department. (edited) [7:53 PM] Made the contract with Wadjet for the "Nuclear Option"

- AC: 15 (TAC: 13/ FF: 12)| HP: 41/41 "Give him the wand. Its agreed" Davin said waving his hand from the pain and mild mud

- AC: 15 (TAC: 13/ FF: 12)| HP: 41/41 "Just protecting both of us Quagmire. You've been a pleasure to deal with and speak to." he grimaced. Blood oaths. He took his dagger and pricked his finger, wincing at the pain. A small globe of red liquid seeped out. "Agreed" he said extending his hand to seal the deal.

- AC: 15 (TAC: 13/ FF: 12)| HP: 41/41 Davin nodded and turned to Quagmire. "Would you consent to an official Contract? Just so we can ensure both sides are on the level?" he asked

- AC: 15 (TAC: 13/ FF: 12)| HP: 41/41 Davin nods. "He got stuck without way back, he's not sure how long. Time isn't the same for him. Was quite a while."

- AC: 15 (TAC: 13/ FF: 12)| HP: 41/41 ((assume I auto translate)) "Hey says its been a long time. He's asking about the gateways." said Davin turning back. "We want you to seal this off for some time until we can reopen the way in an easier to access location." he tilted his head. "What do you mean still? Inactive? It seems active.... However that one is only around the material world. We have found multiple portals to planes, but most are... trapped, locked. While you can explore, I'd advise to be careful. We encountered several very unhappy elementals..."

- AC: 15 (TAC: 13/ FF: 12)| HP: 41/41 Davin would be making an ongoing translation ((for the sake of ease)) "Yes, it wants to see what is being sealed. Let's show our friend just what we're asking." he said making a motion to Quagmire to follow as they made their way back to the Temple.

- AC: 15 (TAC: 13/ FF: 12)| HP: 41/41 Davin motioned to the knife. "Would this be sufficient?" he asked

- AC: 15 (TAC: 13/ FF: 12)| HP: 41/41 "Quagmire would like collateral to ensure we come back. Which is fair... I'm a bit tapped out at the moment on things I'm willing to part with. Does anyone have anything?" he said to the others

- AC: 15 (TAC: 13/ FF: 12)| HP: 41/41 Davin gave a slightly weary sigh. "I anticipate you have something in mind?"

- AC: 15 (TAC: 13/ FF: 12)| HP: 41/41 Davin smiled speaking again. "It would require you to use your abilities to hide the entrance. And then some patience on your part until we came back to open the door for you. At present we don't have the ability to move earth with the skill you have. If that is agreeable." he said, trying to read the facial expressions of the mephit

- AC: 15 (TAC: 13/ FF: 12)| HP: 41/41 Davin came along, looking surprisingly dry after a few moments and a muttered word. As he came thru he looked back and forth before spotting the creature. He let out a low rumble in response "Hello Quagmire. It's a pleasure to see you again and I am glad you are well. I have a request for you... And perhaps a way home should you desire it."

- AC: 15 (TAC: 13/ FF: 12)| HP: 41/41 Davin gave a shrug. "No idea. I am beginning to regret not focusing on conjuration in the Watchtower."

- AC: 15 (TAC: 13/ FF: 12)| HP: 41/41 Davin paused "There is an alternative... When we first came thru here we met a mud mephit... An... Entity from the plane of mud. They have the ability to move earth ... It might take some convincing but Quagmire might be willing to close the door so to speak.... If I can find him " he said looking from one to the other
