    Vertigo.

    It wasn't just a thing for when you were up high. It was a thing for when the whole expanse of everything was spread out before you and one wrong step would send you tumbling to the bottom.

    Star's already thinking and Avis is already doing, and Tuesday feels superfluousness.

    Was there a silent finger talked plan that went over her unicorn noggin?

    Whatever. Just more reasons for her to learn their silent finger talking ways.

    Star's a'yelling and Tuesday wants to play along, add something about the Seer bitches on the floor and throw something accusation-like at the Punk bartender, but Avis already got a portal up, and with the yelling, and the stupefied look on the punkish bartender's face, makes the unicorn think that she's not going to be any trouble, Tuesday decides to gee tee eff oh. So with a skip, Tuesday heads for the portal.


    Tuesday's heading to Avis' portal and stepping through if she can.

    A Sleepwalker is still a Sleepwalker, even if they have been trained by an Awakened clique, however you define it. Caught in a panic, the punkish barkeep hisses a curse while she bolts. Its a survival reflex, honed from before her gift was discovered and nurtured. At least she has the wit to keep the gun (is it wit?) while she bolts from the accusing cry and pointing finger.

    Tuesday escapes through the Portal. Avis is following behind - hauling, dragging, kicking, the broken Seer's through to the Threat's safe spot. A Seer, even half dead and dying, is still evidence of a world beyond mortal ken.

    I know I should wait on Cayce but its been about 4 days now. And I - roughly - know what Avis is wanting to do. This expedites things and can keep the scene moving forward.

    For reference, I view that the Seers will die from their injuries (Aggravated damage) without specialised medical or magical care. But they won't die straight away, so there is opportunity for questioning / magical interrogation if you wish. The Seer's are effectively K.O. at this point.

    Combat is effectively over. Unless you want to go after the fleeing barkeep.

    Well at least he didn't have to worry about a tip.

    He rushed after the bartender, screaming and pointing. That way, she went that-a-way. He stopped at the entrance to the bar, hoping both his body and wild gestures would block and cover Avis... dragging victims off... into... nothing. Because that'd be super hard to explain.

    Also? Don't crack up. Bartender's gonna wonder why she's running and not remember anything that happened. If she gets questioned? Big 'ole blank. It's funny, if you think wrecking a Ministry meeting place is funny.

    This Angel does.

    If he can get back to the portal unseen*, aces. Otherwise? Someone's got to drive the van home.

    I was thinking the only people at the bar would be the Seers, the barkeep, and the Threats. Rest of the hotel is late shift staff and the guests are all safely in their rooms. Of course, the noise will attract attention, but by the time anyone of substance gets to the bar and the mezzanine, everyone should be long gone.

    So. Back in the dark train tunnel.

    Tuesday had to ask.

    Why?

    To was obvious an Aivs thing, but should she poke the bear?

    She totally will.

    But maybe not when they have Seers to deal with.

    Since with Avis comes the Mostly Dead Seers.

    Step one would be to stabilize them...?

    Two was interrogation?

    Three. Profit? (kill them?)

    Tuesday didn't know how to feel about this.

    The Angel goes to hell.

    Well, at least a dark underground place where Bad Things might happen. Loafers scrape on gravel and dust of the abandoned depot as greenish eyes start trying to make sense of the darkness.

    "Tuesday."


    His voice was soft, but serious for once, echoing in the darkness.

    "Do you want to be a Guardian?"


    This is probably as good as it gets for a wholly In Character Crimson Veil. If Tuesday wants to be a Guardian, it's a beautiful opportunity. If she doesn't, that's all good, but it was too good a setup to not bring up.

    She thought she had Time.

    (But she's had Time.)

    The precipice of change. What to do?what to do?what to do?

    Calm, zen. Decision time.

    Two roads diverge in a yellow wood...

    "Yes."

    ...and I took the one less traveled by.


    Sure! Let's Do This!

    And so it ends.

    A barkeep flee's in confusion.

    A portal winks out of existence.

    Two staff heard the commotion; they strong armed a third. Somewhat timidly, they went to investigate.

    They find an empty mezzanine and an unoccupied bar. No blood. Nothing. Behind the bar they found a large tin box laying open on the floor.

    It was a real mystery. And it would remain so, as the night shift was never seen again.

    In totally unrelated news, a rumour ghosted through the street of a man matching the Young Republican being found in an industrial dumpster. There was a lot of garbled stuff about that story; about how they couldn't work out how his internal organs had been so badly damaged; that he was a Chicago based lawyer with no reason to be in California; that it appeared he'd dragged himself into the bin before expiring.

    The police file disappeared into the "unsolved" section and was never seen again...

    Seems like a good place to wrap the story. Hope you enjoyed it
