NMYF: Make a wish

**Aurora** · May 11th, 2025 09:04 PM

“And we still need to get rid of him, every minute we keep him in there is tempting fate.” And it made her nervous. It was bad enough driving around with him in there.

A shake of her head, “No, just the basics.” A nod, “At some point it’s going to get noticed that his car is still at the vet and whoever is in the house is going to notice he isn’t home. Now that is going to depend on if he is dependable or not, but still, time crunch.” She didn’t think she could purge the tranq from his system enough to make it look like he fell asleep and crashed.

“Remember, leaving him dead is fine, but he’s going to have the tranq in his system if they run a tox on him. Might, maybe, be able to mask how he died, I dabble in Death.” She’d never tried it, but knew about it.

Another shake of her head, “I don’t want his money.” Refusing to take it. “But please, feel free.” Sighing, “I’m just shocked he has some form of family; I would have lost that bet.” One hundred percent.

“I’ll let you know, I just hope there are Spirits here that wish to talk. I haven’t been very lucky lately with finding Spirits that want to talk, though to be fair, there wasn’t any in my loft.” So that wasn’t really on her. “But, lets see what I can find out and if anyone wants to talk and maybe, help.” She didn’t like to force Spirits, so she goes with her tried method of asking nicely. Because you could rarely go back from demanding.

A deep breath is taken, “I’m looking to speak with any Spirits in the area, who would be willing to talk with me.” Her tone is gentle, not demanding, a simple request. She knows she can demand it, but more flies with honey and all.

He thinks for a moment before answering. “True, getting rid of him will be troublesome without him popping back up for an investigation. Unless, of course there is a spirit nearby that either knows another or is willing to take him so to speak. Dead of course.” A body can't pop up if it is beyond the gauntlet, the only trouble opening a pathway across safely.

Mr. Stamford's car remaining at the Vet hospital would be a concern if they were still there, thankfully they were not. “If I had my guesses, chances are that people would only really notice if the car was there a few hours after his shift. His disappearance would be questioned if he had any patients waiting but with the car still in the car park. Logic would suggest to them that he is still in the building and they would search for him. But you are right time still is against us.”

“Yes the tox will work against us but the idea of masking it is a great suggestion, should we need to dump him somewhere that he will inevitably be found.” All the effort in the world could not hide a body forever unless I was truly out of sight.

He Shrugged. “Fair enough.” He places the money back into the wallet and puts the wallet into his pocket for now. “I will keep hold of the wallet and then burn it once this is over. Save on using the magic to clean it. Sometimes even the ones that look well adjusted have a more sinister double life, and I guess the same goes the other way in this case.”

As he hears Aurora's request his eyes look to the House in question, praying that there is not an inquisitive look outside from the person currently in the home. Come on, don't lookout.

To put out a general call with lesser spirit summon 1 mana must be spent, as the conditions were not met the spell fails

the idea of using death to cover their tracks is certainty a good one even able to overcome the issue of the tox screen if the vet happened to die from an overdose of tranquiliser but the cold blooded act of killing an unconscious man is one that weighs heavy even on jaded souls it is quite the different act to the adrenaline filled fleeting moments of a fight for your life.

Aurora's spell insufficiently fuelled to accomplish the task she has in mind sputters and fails before it is complete.

But whoever is in the house shows no signs of coming out the small tell tale signs of life the electric flicker of a screen behind the curtains lights go on or off as whoever it moves about seemingly so far there day not disrupted.

Brief nod, “I’ll look into that.” It was a smart way to dispose of a body, if, of course, there was a Gauntlet nearby.

“These are things we can deal with when and if the times comes. Going back to move the car is taking too big of a risk. If no body is found, then he is simply an adult who decided to leave town. There is no sign of foul play.” That exam room was clean. It wasn’t one hundred percent, nothing in the world was. But no one saw her leaving that building with anything except a box that couldn’t hold an adult sized man.

Feeling the spell fail, she curses under her breath. But she isn’t so easy to discourage, and tries again. Adding fuel to spell, but knowing she is running low, the day has been long and she was pushing herself to her limits. If she kept pushing, she would have to pull the fuel needed, which she didn’t want to do, but would.

A deep breath, “My apologizes, are there any spirits who would be willing to come speak with me?” her voice was once again, gentle, simply asking, not demanding.

He returned a smile to the nod. It seems she is not oppose to the idea. Maybe I will need to employ spirit magic more often.

Aurora made a lot of sense, he could not argue with that. “Thinking on it now, moving the car is a bit of a risky move as you say. True enough, he was spirited away by the call of destiny so to speak. We can only hope his co-workers don't like him much as to not care too much for his disappearance as well.”

Hearing the very quiet muttering but not being able to catch what was said. He assumed if the words were for him then she would have spoken them louder to him. His eyes kept trained on the house encase the occupant was a little distance from a window and needed more time to look out.

Fingers crossed there are some spirits around that play nice and have information avaliable.

This time the spell takes hold fuelled by the mana from auroras pattern and if any spirts reside close enough within twilight they would be making their way to the pair of shamans albeit it within that invisible realm unless they have the ability to physically manifest via the materialise Numen communication would require the mages to people able to perceive the realm of twilight itself. A simple enough task for either mage to manage if they so wished it.

They rightly gauge a missing person no matter how disliked will eventually be noticed and the people last seen around him likely sought for interview if the police put any effort in, of course its hard to pin a kidnapping or murder on someone if the body cant be found.

**Aurora** · May 16th, 2025 08:17 PM

She hears Asclepius, “We shouldn’t be seen back at the office, we went there for one thing, information about a dead snake. That was the extent of our time there, nothing more, nothing less. The vet was professional, provided us with what we needed to know, disposed of the snake for us, and we went about our way. Nothing seemed off about him.” If you kept your story simple and to the point, there was no reason to second guess it. “Only issue could be if the receptionist remembers only me coming out. But we can work out a story if we need to.”

But for now, they had their current problem to focus on. And for her, it was making it so she could see and talk with the Spirits, because there was always something she forgot with them. This wasn’t something she did all the time, or even, usually, at all.

All the casting was weighing heavily on her though, but, she would endure and push through it. She had to.

Well was a relief. “Simple and effective and truthful. I will keep to that story if questioned.” Was it really a story, part and part I guess.

He observed Aurora continue her preparations for speaking with the Spirits. “If you need anything or want me to help in any way just ask. Otherwise I will keep tabs on the house for movement, and an eye out in case anyone comes up to us.”

with a little pause for Aurora's response, he turned back to the house trying to take in the details. Possible climb points, areas obscure from the vision of inside the house. Anything noticeable in the gardens to note.

Asclepius keeps a lookout on the house its occupants if sleepers so far with no reason to suspect anything a miss and certainly not what is transpiring right outside there home if they are awakened well the spell casting would paint a different picture but so far the electric blue tinge of a screen still flickers behind the curtains, lights have stopped going on and off that might indicate that whoever has settled in a particular room or something else. A gate leads to a fenced back garden but without x-ray vision the house itself obscures what's back there. A small jump to grab the roof of the porch followed by a unconventional climb could give access to a higher window currently closed. The front garden seems to have a sprinkler system built in if he can find a creative way to make use of it.

Aurora casts her spell and the world fades to the muted greys of twilight the realm closest to the fallen a place in which things are not always identical to the real. Accessing the spiritual side of this realm She can see not the departed echoes of people and things but that which has left strong impression objects that have become iconic or symbolic in such a way have come to represent something in a strong or undeniable way consequently may of the houses are still present but stronger looking or cosy or in one case down the road rotting and shadowy people homes often hold strong symbolic meaning. A particular tall and old tree stands tall in this realm as it does in the fallen reality but not a spirit not yet. What is moving awkwardly towards the car in respond to her summons on metal stubs of legs appears to be a blue metal mailbox the kind people put there letters in to be picked up by the postman latter in the day. Each metal thunk and scrape of its little legs quite audible as it crab walks its way over.

The Arrows words are heard, but she was focusing.

Focusing on the weight of her spells and the shifting of the world around her. It had been some time since she had done this, and it was always a bit of a shock when she did. The Shaman tended to be a bright color kind of girl, and the Twilight world, was, well, not. So her eyes look around, try to take it in.

failure

An eyebrow raises both in surprise and curiosity at the mailbox.

Now that was new. But she knew it was there, in this realm for a reason, it had significance, she just wasn’t sure what yet.

"Hello."
