It sighs and, suddenly, Shrinekeeper feels himself getting picked up. "I find it annoying. You are giving attention to this building instead of me." It growls. 

 Alex looks up at him with steel in her eyes "First stalking and now kidnapping?"

*truesight?*

 While Alex sees a dapper man in a full black suit, she also sees a massive black-skinned Pit Fiend with crimson eyes and sharp claws and teeth.

It chuckles "I am not kidnapping. Simply picking up." He chuckles.

 *wuz asking if the fiend had truesight*

She crosses her arms "It looked like you were going to fly off with him"

 *Ah. Then yes he does.*

"Mn. How bold of you to assume." It says with a deep chuckle.

 *she's a succubus*

"what is something like you doing in a place like this?"

 "I found this one and he interested me. Why are you here? Shouldn't you be with Grazz'at?"

 "now there is a name i thought I would never hear again." 

 "Get lost little one." He said "You're a bit out of your league here."

*ay back from the horrors of pre cal*

Theren is napping in a tree.

Phoenix is in the woods fighting something

Leo is fixing up Festus

 

 Jack is looking for Phoenix, using locate person to stumble upon him fighting something.

 Phoenix is in a hand to hand combat with a man in combat armor.

*Pm if u got the time?*

 Jack snarls and casts wall of force between them. "What is going on here?"

 Phoenix is holding his combat knife and is bleeding profusely from a huge gash across his face. "Leave it be Jack."

The man in combat armor laughs and says something in Russian

 Jack narrows his eyes "First, No, I won't. Second, You're bleeding. Which means you're hurt." He says and points his finger at the other man. Six beams of light fly out and hit him. 

4 + 3 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 4

 The mans armor deflects it, like its made from mirrors. He laughs even louder. Phoenix grips his knife tighter.

*Pm?*

 Jack narrows his eyes "Who is this guy.." He asks, pulling out a glass small cube.

 "Magehunter." Phoenix says with a whimper of pain.

The man then talks with a thick russian accent. "Very good very good. And now, the mage is here."

 Jack places his hands on either side of Phoenix's cheeks and heals him a bit (1) "How bad is he?" He asked, tilting his head.

 *pm plz?*

"Bad..one of the best magehunnters out there..."

 Jack walks up to wall and tilts his head, staring at the Magehunter. "Hello there."

 "Hello Jackson Foxx. I've been waiting for this."

 Theren cautiously approaches the figure

 It's Echo

 He sighs and casts greater restoration

 They stir and try to stand up before collapsing

 Theren props them up

 echo's right arm and leg are badly burnt

 "Oh bloody hell Echo."

 They keep quiet

 "Wake up."

 Echo coughs "Hurts to talk"

 "Ok." he then pulls out a canteen and drizzles it down their throat.

 "Thanks"

 He nods

 Theren notices the fire getting nearer

Quote from Baalzeboop >>

 Mr. Black begins pacing, walking around Jason in circles.
"I define monsters a bit differently than you seem to. I have spent years traveling the Nightmare Lands, where rumors become reality. I've faced demons people have thought only lived in their minds. As a hunter of those beings, I define monsters as entities that have been shaped by human fears. Libel and slander about my family became common after its three oldest surviving members disappeared within the same week. When the legends of me being a monster and a killer became rampant, I became... well, a monster. But when I came back home and defended my younger siblings from harm, they saw what had happened to me, and their fear grew exponentially. By the time I found my parents, I was unrecognizable. But everyone who's brave enough to listen to me learns that eventually."

 "So you became what you are now because you listened to some prophecy?" He asked, tilting his head a bit, his brown eyes watching him. "Not all monsters are bad." he said and downed another shot of whiskey "People just think that because they don't understand their own fears. They're scared. Then again, fear makes humans from what I learned."

 Jason finds he can't swallow the whiskey. "Don't drink that [GP]. It is cheap and weak." Mr. Black pulls a bottle out of his coat and slams it down on the table. "This will help me explain." The bottle has a dark green effervescent substance inside of it, and the label reads Mercury Absinthe. "Mercury, as you must know, is a heavy metal found in fish. It is highly toxic, and any high dose will kill you quite painfully. Absinthe is a very strong booze, as you obviously know, but is bitter and often includes toxic heavy metals for color. By all logic, making absinthe out of mercury should be impossible, and certainly shouldn't be delicious or safe." He pours Jason a shot.

"But here we are. The Nightmare doesn't care for what is real and what is falsehood created by man. If the people of the county I lived in believed in delicious springs of mercury absinthe, then those springs would be found in the Nightmare. I seek out delicious, impossible things like this for a living. Drink."

 "Eh, few days without food... it's nothing, I'm dealing with something more." He says

"Wha- uh... fine." He sighs, "If it'll calm you down." They hop out of his arms and stretch, "So what do you need?"

"Then, what do you need my help with?" He asks, tossing the file back on his desk and offering her a seat

 Argent sighs and picks up Ozzy "Cmon.. You need food and water and sleep."

"I do not like that other priestess who is talking to you." He said, his voice sounding very annoyed. 

"I d-don't know how to survive without blood but I don't want to keep killing people.."

*hello my friends :D*

Shrinekeeper is cleaning their shrine alone, the large building seeming like quite the task

 

 a woman with black hair wearing casualwear and a holy symbol walks inside and looks around before spotting them. She walks over to them and taps them on the shoulder "May I be of some help?"

 "Hm?" They turn to face her, blindfolded, "Oh! Sure, I'd love some help" They say with a smile

 She finds a broom and starts sweeping 

 The shrinekeeper hums as they keep sweeping

 "Are you the only one here?"

 "Mhm." He nods softly, "It can get a little lonely, but plenty of people come to visit for prayers or protection so it's fine."

 "i take care of a small church on the other side of town so i know what it's like"

 "I should visit sometime, would be nice to get out of the shrine more often. Even if it's home now"

 Jason downs it without hesitation "My body is already on its way out, pretty sure half of me is dead already so why not add another spin of the revolver barrel to the mix." He chuckled and tilted his head.

"Hm... I see." He sighs, scratching the back of his head, "Its not my area of expertise, but if it'll help you not kill anymore innocent folk I'm sure we can find something."

She nods quickly and wipes away tears "Thank you.."
