"West, you have no idea what you've done." is Armadia's only answer.
01-07 20:47:54 Armadia rolls 3 dice to Gnosis+Time-5 Failure
3,1,1
Her empty right hand whips about face and West's shield of solid thought quivers for a moment but remains firm.

"Die Every Day," replies West, as the lightning arcs through the flames again. "Yield?"

"I can't believe I stuck up for you, you backstabbing piece of shit!"
Scorchmarks over her shoulder and side, Armadia is growing harried and wearier.
She releases the reins of her flame and signals, a phantasmal warrior standing to defend her.
Shield Prime 4
01-07 21:05:16 Armadia rolls 3 dice to Gnosis+Time-5 Failure
7,1,3
Her magic causes time to stutter, to steal away the moments that West takes a breath. But her senses are clouded by West's swirling defense, and it does not phase him.

West looks at Armadia's fatigue, and replies, "Serve Mandates, Not Individuals."
The electricity crackling around his hands sputters and dies. "I will not serve your pride any longer, Armadia."
"I yield." _________________ Dog: Protean 1

Kai looks a little surprised, and then bows to West.
"Well played. It's time to go. We don't need an apology anyway."
Kai looks at Armadia.
"You have shamed the arrows Armadia. We have no idea what you had done for us, and now we shall never know, because now we just don't care."
Kai motions to Circe and Az to leave with them. _________________ ________________________

The Kruegans fall silent. Armadia slumps onto the floor.
"Yea, yea." She whispers.
And that's all she seems to be able to say.
No one stops them, or moves to acknowledge them as they leave.

Circe and Azrael nod to Kai's motion. Circe glances back once before they exit the room completely shaking her head.
Getting out the door. The sarcasm was thick
so that went well...

"That is not the way arrows are supposed to operate, especially not Arrows of equal rank. She boasting about all these favors she done for us. Shit, we've been here what? 3 or 4 days? For her to act so god damned rude is inexcusable, especially when no one has any idea what the hell is going on. Whatever."
Kai takes a deep breath and becomes visibly more relaxed. "At least tomorrow I have a date" _________________ ________________________

"We serve the Ladder, we don't bow to them," West murmurs to Armadia and the Kruegans as he leaves with the others. _________________ Dog: Protean 1

"A proper date with a girl who is way to young for me that I met at the club...we met under less than 'decent' circumstances. Ask no more" Kai coughs nervously. This was obviously uncharted territory for him. In Baltimore one mage had taken a slight interest in him he thought, but he never acted on it because of doubt. Clover had made it known in no uncertain terms she was interested...it was refreshing. _________________ ________________________

And West doesn't realize how right he is.
"Gentlemen... oh and Lady (pardon me!) So funny to run into you."
Mistress Vex croons, trailed by a retinue of guards as the group reaches the downstairs lobby.
"I think you'll enjoy working for me." That grin on her face just begs you to smack it off.

"Oh, why of course boys! I expect nothing less than an edict would be worth your attention."
Still smiling, she waves you off.
"Now go home and get some rest, we grown ups have to play politics now. Be up bright and early tomorrow though, there's plenty of work to be done."
Vex and her retinue begin to turn to head inside.

Kai turns to West as they are walking away:
"Maybe the mages here in Sacramento should go meetup with the leeches in Houston...then we could drop a guilt free nuke. What the hell is wrong with people here? Is it in the water?" _________________ ________________________

West simply shrugged, precoccupied with the events of the past few minutes. He glanced at Azrael and Circe, and was disappointed that their "innocence" of Pentacle politics would soon be lost. Some lessons were were more distasteful than others. As he considered the two, his thoughts wandered to the third Apostate... _________________ Dog: Protean 1

"Well, you told me this morning the other arrow we met was supposed to meet us here. I think we need to find out what happened to him. Either he's an arrow with misplaced priorities, or he might have run into some trouble. I'm willing to bet the latter. How do we get in touch with him?" _________________ ________________________

Nodding, West replied, "Good idea. Let's split up. You and Azrael go find out what happened to Stone," as he showed Kai the phone number Stone had given him.
"Circe and I will go on a bit of a recruiting mission," he continued after Kai had gotten the information. "I might need a bit of finesse," he looked at Circe, "and we need to get all of our ducks lined up before tomorrow, apparently." _________________ Dog: Protean 1

West's phone rings. After a short conversation, he tells the others, "Looks like Stone got out of there all right. Let's stick to the original plan. Kai, Az, go rendezvous with Stone. Circe, you and I are going on a recruiting expedition."
West opens his phone to make a call. Weaving a cocoon of sound around them, he then reached out across the telephone networks to Veil his phone call as he chanted.

Azrael pulled out the keys, looking to Kai.
You got his address right? Lets make tracks... Based on how we left the scene up top I dont think staying around here is going to be a good idea right now.
