(Rosh’s Body) If You Play...

[Key]

Continued from here

The mutilated of the late Rosh’s not-gaze has been shifted to the ceiling, it’s mouth hanging open as it’s lain in the semblance of across a pew. The smell of decaying body is starting to fill the large room slowly. The body is difficult to look at. It is missing both eyes, it’s tongue, hands, feet and genitals.

The door is mostly shut, and the lights are on in the sanctuary despite it being quite early in the morning.

EDIT: This is a New Scene
Please recast your spells, and edit appropriately.
Any shielding spells that had mana spent on them or spells with extended durations may remain.

Also no WP/Mana refresh

[Ariadne]

"aw god, that's Rosh.... I thought he just left town. So many people do. But this? Who would do that...."

The voice in her mind answers her. The same type of person who stole her ex-husband. The same type that got him killed. Not even a thought passes before Ariadne starts to chant quietly to herself. As the spell settles she visibly calms down.

After a moment she looks back down at Rosh's body. This time with a frown and possibly the beginnings of a tear? "What did you get into...."

She quietly casts once more, having felt her protection slip as she looks at the body. Her protection wraps around her once again offering no comfort to the cold she feels inside. Moments later her hands flow through a mudra of sight of the source. Ending with a tap on an invisible pair of glass next to her temple.

[DrDog]

Rose ignores the body. Doesn't recognize him, does't really care. Mutilated bodies to send a message is simple, effective, and powerful. This is what we did to someone you care about. This is what we'll do to you. What he does care about is trying to see outside, who is around, who might have seen something, and most importantly, who needs to forget this happened.

[Mike Tamwood]

Mike has a grim expression, somehow having Rosh's body makes it all more clear that people are dying around the Consilium. A bit absently he recasts his usual spells. He had allowed Steve to disappear again, so people wouldn't be distracted.

'I tried, but I can't really get any useful information from his body. His last living moments were spent alone.'

He looks at Ariadne, Rose and Ixidor. What to do now?

[Ariadne]

"So his body was cleaned before being dumped here?" Ariadne asks impatiently.

"We'll find something. No one messes with us. And really. You want to watch the Council go on the warpath?" Not that she's opposed...it'd just be loud. Better to loose the shadows. She looks at Rose. "Have you met Samael? I think you two should talk, for when this gets messy."

A flicker of will pulls on the gaze of entanglement. Everything is connected. Ariadne looks intently at Rosh's corpse, waiting to see what it reveals. Quietly mouthing the Sacrifice's decree of intent.

[Key]

Ariadne knows that there is the touch of anger, emotional hurt, and blame surrounding Rosh’s body. There are at least seven signatures on the body.

There seems to be a ripple of the visions of all the mages present and knife of purple striped tass blossoms from Rosh’s chest, directly where his heart would be.

[Ariadne]

Ariadne's head cocks to the side as the knife emerges from Rosh's chest. Normal reactions subsumed under the iron will she imparted upon herself.

"No touching just yet..."

[Mike Tamwood]

It is obvious that Ariadne is doing some things, but with some things being covert Mike has no idea what. 'Can you maybe explain what you are doing? I wish to follow it.' His lips curl up a bit, he is in no mood to smile, but he does it to show his good intentions.

Then a knife appears.

'Oh' That works... 'Need help with anything?'

'And Ixidor do you have any ways to do something further?'
