    The night slid by without event, and the refrigerator became the comforting companion of the night's sentinels. True to his word, Arthur manages to provide bedding for all were anyone to Scrutinize the Wards, they'd find a powerful weave that spoke of multiple Awakened working in unison toward a single Ritual.

    With dawn comes new inspiration and over breakfast it's decided* to investigate the rock quarry given the evidence Strix found and Arthur's mention of it's location. Arthur luffles his ex-cabalmates, or maybe it's that Faye's still just that hot, and loans them the car.

    Eventually the four Awakened pull up to the quarry. Somewhere, here, they'll find Cunanan.



    Any spells that weren't ritualized before this plot have expired!

    With the passing of the dark hours through Avis' watch in the night, the feelings of hope and comfort had faded. The memory of Star, the memory of what had become their first meeting, was still there, still fresh, but the shadow of Cunanan and his unfathomable spider's web began to loom larger with each and every movement of the pendulum that swung from the grandfather clock in Arthur's living room.

    Now, the sun had risen, bright and brilliant above Miami, and yet Avis took no comfort from it. The touch of it on her skin was like the touch of a microwave, slowly cooking her until the flesh felt ready to peel back from her bones. Its light was no better, stabbing into her eyes with merciless rays.

    She asked Arthur to borrow sunglasses, if he had any to spare, but she doubted it would help. Nothing about this day would ease the discomfort she felt. Not even Cunanan's death, or the answers he could give.

    The night passed without incident, Arthur's wards holding firm and no attempts were made to breach them. Part of him had suspected nothing would happen, since the odds weren't exactly stacked in Cunanan's favor; part of him was surprised not to be woken up in the middle of the night to some form of attack. Maybe he was giving a Scelesti not enough credit about thinking things through.

    Regardless the case, with them reaching the quarry, Strix looked out and over it when getting out of the borrowed car. Well, at least he did once he lifted a hand up to shield his eyes from the bright sun, still squinting a little to properly see where their trip had taken them to.

    "Well," he said, hand lowering again to glance over at the other mages piling out from the car. "I honestly didn't expect we might end up at a rock quarry looking for him." He looked back over to the quarry, this time just with a squint and a thoughtful 'huh'. "Should we split up or stay together to cover more ground?"

    The sweet, fragrant smells of roses mixed with lilacs emanate from her as she casts magic. The scent intensifies, bordering on intoxicating, when Life magic is cast. When Aurora casts Vulgar magic, the scent takes a nasty turn, to the putrid, nauseating odor of a rotting corpse. The stronger the magic, the more those around want to retch at the smell.

    The night being uneventful was welcomed. It allowed her to reflect on going back in Time and seeing someone she thought had been lost on the Titanic trip. It was still kind of weird, but when it came to being Awakened, there was a lot of weird.

    But weird aside, they were here for a reason.

    Splashing water on her face woke her up a little. And she took the time to cast her shield and put her eyes on. If the guy was there, she wanted to be as ready as she could be.

    Getting out of the car, "Well, I'll always suggest together, we might not cover as much ground, but at least we can watch each others backs." her not being really combat friendly, she was all about having those around her that were.

    See. The reason why the Unicorn didn't put money on an attack in the night. They were expecting it, so it didn't happen. Well, that and the swanky wards around Arthur's sanctum. So there's a kink in her neck for nothing. Sucks. Whatever. Waking up meant a stretching and eye rubbing, and shielding up. Day long since, in the past and hunting a baddie. Sight comes next but Tuesday's okay if that fades. Since she can lens up easily enough, and she might wanna switch it up with Time in stead of Fate. Or hell. She might wanna try out Spirit, you know, if it was needed.

    The drive out was neat. It was nice having a car with an AC. Since Miami. Hot. Tuesday didn't like it, and was doubly glad she's kept her hair short.

    Eyeing Strix, "Why wouldn't we end up in a rock quarry? There was gunk on those boots. There's a construction thingy happening. So...yeah. Rock quarry." a shrug. "We can go two and two. Cover more ground and have someone to watch our backs." Seeing as the four of them were from two different cabals, should they divide themselves along cabal lines or, pair a Vee Tee with a Tee dee Ess?

    "Avis? How're we gonna pair off?" Tuesday'll leave that to the First Talon since. Talon. Strategy and stuff.

    Avis eye's open to a fragile world. The Space here is fractured and cracked in a disjointed fashion that looks like something shattered and the pieces piled back together. Edges overlap; in other places, there are hole to... nothing. It's the bone chilling emptiness of entropy, and one that seems to be cracking the holes larger as bits fall in. It's a shiver up her spine that goes into her mind and numbs it like an opiate; a pleasant stupor to give into while she slowly wastes away.

    Strix sees dirt that matches the dirt on the boots.*

    Faye sees an eerie absence of life. The other mages with her are vibrant and health, but the rest is just as barren as it looks. Which she know is wrong; even here, life should abound. Weeds should be sprouting in corners. Spiders should be making webs. Even ants and insects should teem and the birds they attract... but there's nothing.

    Tuesday sees the Acamoth. Hazy and indistinct, it's a probability on the verge of becoming a certainty. It crouches over the quarry like a pregnant spider, and everywhere she looks, inky blackness spins webs. Even now it bends reality, arranging the cranes and troughs like legs over it's fat, festering body**.

    Fucking Hell, Avis breathed, her eyes going wide as she took in the...the almost incomprehensible sight of the devestation before.

    "You all need to see this," she said next, her voice urgent, even as she began to weave a band of glyphs across the vision of the other Magi. One wrong step and they could plummet through a literal crack in reality, consumed by a void that wasn't a void. Consumed by the incomprehensible terror of that Which Should Not Be.

    "We need to be careful," she added again, "I don't think we should split up anymore. It's too dangerous."

    Avis cast and Tuesday's sight's replaced with a world where cracked, shattered, fractured, disjointed and just plain messed up were the not-norm. But norm. At least for here. And if this was the Space norm, no wonder Avis was cranky all the time.

    "So. Yeah. This is cool. But. Uh. You know that stupid dee-bag we wanna get rid of and his stupid dee-bag deal with the Acamoth? Yeah. It's here. Like right there." Tuesday points. "And it's a spider. Like it's hovering between distinct and indistinct. It's all most an actuality, a certainty. The webs. It's body." here Tuesday gags a little.

    "So yeah. Thanks. For this." a finger points to her eyes. "And yeah. No splitting up. Stepping only where someone else has steps since. This." another gestures, "Is like a mine field right? We don't wanna step on something and have it go boom. Or have up slip through a crack in the world. Since yeah. Bad."

    Faye feels the magic take effect, a foreign magic, one that wile it felt right, felt wrong. It wasn't her Arcana, but damn, did it open her eyes.

    And they widened as she took in the quarry, which had things that were not visible by her magic alone.

    "Holy shit Avis." she breathes, as she continues to look at the void. Just what the hell was going on here?!

    Confused eyes look to Tuesday, "A spider?" was this like the spiders that had killed Crowley? "I don't see anything. Meaning I sense no life aside from our own. And that isn't right, there should be life." she shudders at the words.

    Least they weren't going to be splitting up.

    As Avis is casting, Strix wanders to the edge of a pit being dug up for processing the gravel. His foot slips, and he's off balance as it sinks into the gravel.

    He's stepped in a hole.

    Tuesday sees inky blackness become tiny spiders swarming up his leg and as the Sight settles on them all they can see his leg has disappeared into a darkness formed by ill fitting, cracked sheets. Where edges of glass might draw blood, they can see bits of the Moros' pattern being sliced off; sputtering, and dying as the light is consumed by darkness.

    The great spider quivers, and a figure silhouetted by the sun into pure blackness crests a mound a football field away.
