    "FUUUUUCK!"

    So that was unexpected. That smoking slice up the leather sleeve? Totally could have been a hand. Or fingers. That's how it goes, right? Get cocky, get Star Wars-ed. Also holy flashing floaters. It's hard not to shake. Seriously. Could've lost a hand there.

    "Okay, soooo... this is apparently coming with?"
    He stood and picked up the icon. "We gonna just beat feet or do something about the bodies?"

    Totally real question. Not sarcasm. Upshot of leaving them? Any'disciples' that came later would find them. Like that. Don't play with fire kiddos.

    Star picks up the painting. It is light and solid in his hand.
    Briar Rose stares hard at the object. Scrutiny reveals that the icon is a Soul Stone.

    Just a heads up. I will be wrapping this scene within the week so Winter can begin his incarceration.

    She's sorta ignoring Winter trying to clothe her. She might have cursed him out, before. So what if she's half naked cover in blood. She could rock it. Ascetic af.

    But her eyes can't. They. She's a carp.

    "Soooooo....." she says around a knot in her throat. "That's." she uses her chin to point, her brows are furrowed, and she's not disbelieving, but like, fuck. "Is. A. Fucking. Soul. Stone."

    Dark shadows scatter in ordered symmetrical patterns traversed by a crackling pallid silver light that wraps Winter in a pleasantly numbing and icy coldness.
    When vulgar magic is cast, the frequency of the oscillation of the dark fluid surges until the shadows arrange themselves in a solid black halo around Winter's head, the white light darkens into a fiery black sunlight and his eyes are set ablaze with vivid incandescence.

    A Soul Stone and a Demesne. Now it was starting to make sense.
    Except it didn't.
    There is something this Obrimos needs to check, but he needs an exact date first.
    "Cover me", he says, as he presses his back against a wall.
    He blinks.
    His mouth yearns to fill the void with words of power that have since lost their meaning. When he reopens his eyes, the edges of his sight are blurred, and the chronicles of history takes the spotlight. Her pages flipping under his gaze.

    Winter had the right idea.

    However, when he opened his Sight to focus on the area's Resonance, he finds only a dull void: the tapestry shattered, purged, cleansed. Only a few core elements remain and they have been scoured of Resonance. A few lingering motes of Resonance flit past, scattered in the wave of a great and calamitous tsunami that must have just blasted through the area.

    Uh huh.

    Yeah it is. Pretty short list of things the fire wouldn't even scathe. Works fine on trinkets and knick-knacks, but this was in another class. And someone had probably tucked a supernal flak jacket on top of that, too. Thanks. Everyone. All that would have been great to know before. S'all good.

    See? Nobody ever listens.

    "Uhhhh, okay? Leaving them, I guess."
    Whatever Winter's doing with that white glyph? He'll probably have better luck finding a Splashtown, USA in the Mojave. This place is cleaner than Shodan's abandoned apartment. "All right. I'm out."

    Totally serious about that. Sure, this isn't downtown... but shots fired. Cue immediate exit.

    Right. Star asked a question. She'd been busy, with the staring and the freaking out.


    "Right, ya. Leaving them. I don' wanna touch 'em." following Star out. Because what the fuck.

    Nothing. The fact itself was telling.
    With nothing else to do, he dispels the few residual energies. He casts one last forlorn look at the room, before he joins his peers

    And there we shall let this scene fade to black.

    FYI - I am assuming you take the Soul Stone, so please correct me if that is not that case.
