OOC: Just a heads up, I haven't played Texas Hold 'em in a couple years, so I don't really remember much about it at all. I do remember Rummy, but I am yet to meet someone outside my family that knows how to play that, or have even heard of it.
BIC: *grumbles*
Got me beat.
*shows hand containing a 2, 4, 5, 8, and king of spade*

*Wade waves cheerfully*
DP: It was fun breaking it. And I got a new friend while we beat the gak out of it*

OOC I don't remember anything except blackjack tbh. I knew poker, but I've forgotten it now.

Bic *Hisses happily*

Roland: Take it easy Leo.

*Jake sips his water, then looks at Roland* Doc says I have "Ptsd" some disorder with the mind.

*Roland looks worried* What is the treatment?

*Jake thinks of the giant list of adverse effects from the pills* Well.. the thing is..

*The shadowed figure rises from her seat*
Shadowed one: Time for my entrance...

*Leo walks out of the bar and then out of the room*

*Jim walks into the bar and takes a seat and pulls out one of his cigars*

OOC I ready to play some Evolve and monster stomp some people. (Hopefully)
BELAY THAT ORDER. It has an update.

OOC: Just noticed I got promoted on the rank track.
BIC: Maybe my luck will change. It wouldn't be the first time.

*Points to a clock and places cards down*

Hiss.
(Good luck.)

*nods and stands up*
Thanks for the reminder. And one day I need to find the time to learn your language. Or at least the basics.
*turns around and goes back to the barracks before knocking again*

*Roland suddenly sees a vision of his love clad in chains and rags
Most of the others see a vision of a beautiful woman in rags and chains. She appears also to Leonie, Yarrick and Amelia, Santiago and Joelia *
Woman: Please, you have to help me! I've been trapped by Flamel and his associates! They have lied to you! They are not what they seem!
They have imprisioned me for millennia! I beg of you to please free me!

*Her true form appears to OT in his office with Perenelle and Thoth
In front of the TV to Morrigan, Prometheus, Scatty, Aoife and Huitz
In the kitchen with Quetz, Black Hawk and Cal
In her true form Coatlicue is a monsterous creature. Instead of a normal head she has a pair of snakes that speak in unison.
Her hands and feet are those of dragons and she wears a cloak of live adders*
Coatlicue: You have lived long enough in this realm Elders! I shall kill you all and take it back for the Archon race! Surrender now and I shall let you die quickly!

*OT stands up to face the apparition*
Ot: You lie. You are neither powerful enough to challenge us nor even truly here! *Throws a stapler at her that flies through her an breaks against the wall*

Coatlicue: You think I am alone in this? I have many allies, some that can even hurt you Alchemyst. I will kill one now. Then I shall give you 48 hours to decide your fate!

OT: Kill one of us? But you're a... no... you're appearing to many! And one of them is not a apparition! Thoth! Check the kitchen! Perry, make sure Marla and Maria are okay!

*Ignoring the laughing apparition OT bursts out of his office to hear the screaming start from the TV area*

*Hisses loudly at the apparition and pulls Santiago back in*

*Hiss reaches a screech*

~

*Amelia gets startled*

Amee: What?1 Who are you?!

~

*Knight is standing infront of Maria with his blade out*

OOC So it goes from a mildly quiet day(Minus V fething around with everyone), to this gak-storm? Can say, I did not expect that.

*is dazed from the vision and looks around*
What was that? Someone needs help, but against Nicholas? This... doesn't seem right.

*Shaper is still taking care of his knarlocs while blissfully unaware of the situation*

*The woman appears desperate to all*
Please! You have to help me! The Elders are monsters! The will use you then imprision you like they did me!

*OT runs over to the sofas to see Scatty and Aoife trying to pull the spearhead out of Prometheus's chest while Morrigan and Huitz are both unconscious on the ground weapons drawn. Scatty and Aoife are both crying and screaming for their uncle to hold on*
Prometheus: It... it must be my time then *Looks very calm about dying as his blood starts soaking his shirt*

*Jim clasps his head and looks at his hands*

Jim: What the hell!

*Leo bursts back into the room looking awfully mad*

Leo: WHO'S IN MY HEAD!

*Grabs Santiago and places him away from the vision*

*Attempts to stab at it*

~

*Amelia sits up and walks up to the apparition*

Amee: I can't believe that. Nicholas wouldn't hurt any of us.

~

*Knight says nothing*

*Roland grits his teeth so hard one of his molars crack*

Jake: Roland? Father?

*Roland stands up and walks out of the bar. Jake follows him*

Jake: Stop! Father what is wrong?

*Roland grabs at his head*

*The tail passes through the apparition infront of Santiago and Joelia. She snarls as her face turns dark and she begins to morph into her true form (Only the one for Santiago and Joelia)*
Woman infront of Santi and Joel: You dare try to strike me creature! You will die slowly!

*To everyone else tears well up in the woman's eyes*
Woman: He has been many things, but he has always been a liar, and a manipulator! Please *voice trembles* Help me!

*Leo's arms are twitching and her eyes have gone feral*

Leo: WHERE IS NICK!

*Leo starts upturning furniture and breaking doors off their hinges looking for OT*

*looks conflicted*
Nicholas has done nothing but helped me. Amelia trusts her, and I am yet to meet a Spartan who's judgement I don't trust.
*sees the creature's true form and growls*
*draws his magnum and fires it at the apparation*

*Stands up to full height(10ft) and hisses again*

*Looks incredibly imposing, even without an arm and half a tail*

~

*Screams finally reach Amelia's ears*

*Runs past/through the vision and opens the hatch*

*Immediately starts running to the crying*

*Ot leaps over the couch and kneels by Prometheus who's breath is now shallow and fading*
Prometheus: Aoife.... Scatty... take care of each other... Nicholas... take care of my family... please...
OT: I will. I promise *Looking grim, furious and grief stricken all at once*
Scatty: NO UNCLE!!! YOU'VE GOT TO STAY WITH US!
Prometheus: This is my time... goodbye
*Prometheus's eyes glaze over and his heart stops*
Aoife & Scatty: UNCLEEEEE!


*Santiago's bullet passes through the horror as Coatlicue laughs*
Coatlicue: Stupid humani! You shall soon see death!
*The coatlicue apparitions in Ot's office, the baneblade, by Santiago and Joelia and by the TV all wipe themselves away and vanish*
OOC: Like this http://weheartit.com/entry/group/25981160

*Roland grabs his head in pain*

Roland: No Susan.. Please no.. *Roland eyes widen * Nicholas has her! He will pay I will kill all of-

*Jake tackles Roland*

Jake: She is dead father-

Roland: NO! *Roland grabs Jake and is about to throw him aside*

Jake:She died in Hambry.. you watched her burn *Rolands grip slackens* and you tried to bury her charred remains.. Do you remember? Remember it for your fathers sake!

*Roland looks at Jake and nods*

I do Jake.. Somethings wrong we have to find Nicholas..

*Roland gets up with Jake and head towards the screams*

*Growls but goes back down on all threes*

~

*Amelia reaches the scene and covers her mouth*

*Runs up to Scatty and Aoife and tries pulling them away*

Amee; It's not safe here! Please!

*Looks over at OT pleadingly*

*Ot shakes his head sadly*
OT: No... she's gone for now... we are not currently in danger...
*Scatty and Aoife are both crying over Prometheus. Huitz stirs slightly but Morrigan is still unconscious*

*lowers his pistol but doesn't holster it*
There was screaming. We should make sure everyone is alright.
*walks into the room and sees Prometheus' body*
Oh no...

*Leo stomps towards the scene*

Leo: WHAT THE FETH WAS THAT NICK!

*Leo looks borderline crazy*

*Roland and Jake burst through the doors*

Roland: What was that..

*Growls at Leonie*

*Steps infront of her*

~

*Amelia keeps her arms around both Scatty and Aoife*

~

*Knight runs out of the Repressor*

Boro: What in God's name was that?!

*Ot looks over at Leo and snaps*
OT: Not now Leonie! Keep your sanity for once!


*The false Susan's head splits down the middle and turns into the two snakes who start laughing then vanish like before*


*Both sisters are still sobbing hard and don't seem to notice Amelia*

*Quetz bursts out of the kitchen*
Quetz: Nicholas! Coatli- *Sees Prometheus and stops mid-sentence*

*Roland walks up to Leo*

Roland:It's okay Leo, just calm down.. Nicholas will explain in due course.

*Amelia stands up and walks up to Leonie*

Amee: Leo...Please...If you care about us at all, don't do this...Itt wasn't his fault...

*Puts a hand up to her chest to try to keep her away from everybody else*
