LMD opens his eyes, looking around and finding himself lying in a field, alone. He lies there a moment, eyes filled with the broad, blue sky above him. Sighing, the lost traveller picks himself up from an area of matted grain stalks and surveys his position. Off in the distance he notices a plume of smoke and, with little else to do, heads for it.

Minutes later he emerges from the field, parting the last few waves of amber grain. With little surprise Elemdee looks upon a small farm house, barely a klick away. As he makes his way towards it, the darkly lit one plainly sees an old man with a wide brimmed straw hat and lit pipe rocking away in his chair on the porch.

Drawing near now, El's friendly waving and nods are met with a blank stare from the now still man. LightMeDark stops just short of reaching the abode.

"Regards, sir. I'm called LMD. Fine weather you're having."

"We don't rightly care what yer called."

Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges

Wisp pulls himself out from beneathhis ruined work station as Sir Fesai turns to ice. He rolls away from the carnage and slithers towars his armour. Behind him Krysta's head is frantically trying to direct her body back to her.

Sir Luc tries in vain to move Fesai but only succeeds in separating his feet from his body causing her to fall backwards with the weight. Wisp finally reaches the A.I.E and activates his magic defences, however the hydraulics take a full minute before he will be able to move. During this agonising wait Krysta reconnects with her bodyand stands up within the carnage.

With a throw of her arm a huge spike of Ice is thrown at Wisp, which melts against his armour without denting. He retaliates by loosing a barrage of antimagic pulses at her. Most of them miss but a few hit causing instant effect. The area around the impact begins to turn brown and flaky with track marks spreading outwards. She screams in pain as the flesh starts to disappear before vanishing in a flash of light.

Wisp moves over and frees Sir Luc from the frozen corpse before stepping down from the armour and running to his work.

"NOOO!!!" He cries

"What is it??"

"All my work is destroyed!! The tanks remote is burned the data is gone the retrovirus is...." He spins round and places his hand on Luc's shoulder "I need your help. I have the ability to make one of your order as powerful as she is but its fading quickly and its not tested are you willing to take on these powers"

Sheesh!

JADEHAND

*JadeHand vigously shakes his head to get the images of a perky asian woman in a birthday cake from his thoughts. He quickly returns to his work. After days the first are nearly complete. He collects the final components of his spells, and begins casting. Minutes later he drops to one knee, exhausted. He forces himself to stand and collect the five jars he's enchanted. He places them in a padded box in seperate sections so they won't break. Lifting the box he stumbles off to find the Captain. Finding TRM outside the inn, he sets the box down beside him and pulls out one of the jars.*

*JadeHand checks to make sure his shirt is not red, before saying....*

"Captain, I've found something. Ok well I made something, 5 somethings. But I've been in this persona for far too long, it's going to take me awhile to recover, so I won't be much use to you at this point. These however, should help. I was only able to find enough components for 5, but they don't know we only have 5. These jars are enchanted, and you can see the compasses attached to the lids. These "immortals", get a piece of them and put it in the jar. Tighten the lid to activate it, and the compass will lead you to their Phylactories. The items in which their souls are stored. They could be anything, another simple jar such as these, a small statue, a sword, anything. Break the Phylactory only when you're ready to finish them. the soul will go back to their body, and when they perish that time, it wil be the last time. Should ease the troubles around here, and the threat of the possibility of more of these might keep any surviving Immortals in check.
I have to go recover now. Do you need anything or anyone from the Tree? I'll send them back. I'm heading there to recover in my quarters for the next week or so."

"But you sleep like a ghost with me
It's as simple as that
So tell me I'm mad
Roll me up and breathe me in
Come to my madness
My opium den
Come to my madness
Make sense of it again."
Goodbye to all that. III-The Opium Den (Brave)-Marillion

“Work?!? This cursed teknowlogie is your work?!? What good could possibly come from…” Sir Luc trails off as Wisp’s words sink in “I have the ability to make one of your order as powerful as she.”

The flood of conflicting emotions threatens to drown her.

Power. To have the power she had always wished for. She could then show the others, especially Kei, what it truly meant to have power. But at what cost?

She cast about for someone... a lifeline to calm the emotions, to give her guidance.

Her rock, Sir Devan. The order’s rock and mentor, for that matter, for once seemed at a loss. He still puzzled at the Major Ward’s failure to hold the immortals body.

Ironically what made up her mind was the appearance of Sir Kei in the doorway. He stood there in confused awe. His massive broadsword held effortlessly in one hand. Even in the face of the destruction and confusion, his face still bore a jovial smirk.

“I’ll do it!” Sir Luc says with more force than intended. “I accept the task.”

At that moment a page skids into the room. "Sir Devan!! Strangers three outworlders approach the Keep demanding an audience! They knock upon the front gate as we speak."

"Got a headful of lightning
And a heart full of rain
And I know that I said
I'd never do it again
Oh and I love you sweet baby but I always take the long way home."

"One more time Snarky, if you would be so kind." says SR.

Snarky smartly strikes the gate again with his armored fist and the sound is rather like that of the battering ram.

"Hey, all you eight balls! This is opportunity knocking! We have something you want, but if you wont let us in we'll just go somewhere else and you will never stop kicking yourselfs blowing this one chance. I would particularly like to talk to Sir Luc. She seems to have a memory of me."

SR turns to Seryn, "Let's give them a minute and then you can try yelling at them. That is unless they decide give us a nasty taunting and then fling a cow at us."

"Fling a cow at you you mean, you're the one who sounds like a double glazing salesman.

If I had the equipment I'd be flinging livestock at you right now."

Muddy from useless wanderings, back achy and feet sore, Seryn realises she's in a very bad mood.
*********edited (cause Helens an egit)***********

Seryn, getting sick of everyone being such slow pokes, asks Snarky to run at the smaller door repeatedly. After several stops to make sure Snarkys head is surviving the attempt, they identify a weak spot, and in relitively short time, theres a splintered gap where it used to be. Stepping (carefully!) through, they wait for all manner of magical gubbins to start giving them a hard time.

But nothing happens, and after a while SR starts shouting again.

Isn't sanity really a one trick pony, anyway? I mean all you get is one trick, rational thinking! But when you're good and crazy...ooh hoo hoo hoo... the skys the limit!

SOULOFSERENITY

The Man They Call Soul...

Soul runs around the SereniTREE like a chicken with its head cut off, and suddenly comes up with a brilliant idea:

He phases through several different realities, finds Hogwarts, beats up Hermione, steals her time turner, phases back to the SereniTREE, uses the time turner to go back in time two days, throws the BIGGEST birthday bash for Serenity, complete with a full jazz band, cake, catered food, old friends, piles of presents and more. Then he uses the time turner to go back to the present and races to his room to finish his argument with Serenity.

“See! I told you I didn’t forget your birthday!!!”

______________________

Soul, Security Chief of the Sereni-Tree, Captain of Destiny.

Mantichorus: "So is there a reason they call you 'Soul'?"
Soul (after a long pause): "Yeah. Because I have one."

What are you talking about? Of course you didn't forget my birthday! My party was amazing and I love my gift. *She gestures to the hand painted silk kimono he gave her.*

You're a fantastic husband and a wonderful father, but sometimes you're a little weird.

Wisp hugged her breifly and passionatley before ignoring her. People become scientists for one reason- to be rememberd. If your work is destroyed then you wont be rememberd and will be lost to the sands of time. But if your work could be infused into history you are immortal. Existing for eternity.

Wisp grabbed a strange homemade syringe and inserted it into a tank of green fluid drawing up the plunger with care and haste. He held it in both hands and walked over to her.

"ok this might hurt, Or not, maybe kill you, might not even work"

"Great..."

Wisp moved the syringe over her chest and pushed the needle into the gap of the clavical. Blood oozed from the wound as the steel tore through the flesh eventually to the third thoracic vertabrae. Sir Luc winced as the needle ground through her bone but Wisp was unphased by the texture. When he reached bone marrow he slowly injected the fluid and withdrew his needle and placed in on the table beside him. He placed a cotton pad over the bleeding hole and maitained pressure.

"Four Hours"

SR grows tired of shouting and turns to Seryn. "Well I guess they really don't want our help, but we're here. I say we raid their kitchen and have lunch and if we are captured looting we will insist on first class room with a view and baths. You may scoff, but once I tell them how the baroness treated us they'll be compelled to. Zanibar is all about hospitality and keeping up with the Joneses."

The huge oaken door opens, creaking on its hinges as it slowly opens. A small man, perhaps three feet in height, looks up at Seryn, Scorpion Regent, and Snarky.

"A thousand pardons for my delay, Sirs and Madam. The Baroness will see you now. If you would kindly follow me."

OOC: Sorry, I didn't know you were waiting on ME for any of the castle plots!
