[M] The Gang

[Hector]

Hector nudged Crow. "Dimension, shadow dimension." He had a half smile, "I thank you guys for your wanting to help, but i think ill only take two, ill take Azraella because she IS daemon, and daemon in the shadow dimension is only natural... And you do raise a good point Crow, maybe taking a were-wolf or a vampire to the shadow dimension is risky, but i do need you to come too..." he said with concern. "Look, your smart, to get to the bedrock of my statement, you know where a daemon would hide the true essence of something. Here's my point, maybe i needed to rethink the team but your coming, i need your help."

Hector hated admitting he needed help more than anything, but he honestly did. "Anyone else have any better ideas?" He said plainly, hoping no one would respond. He needed the true essence of the SoulMauler, more than anything, all honestly, he wasn't a true daemon until he had it... The Twilight Cathedral was full of surprises, and he had no idea what was to come, not to say he didn't know the place, it was like the back of his shadowy, shadowy hand to him, but he didn't know its capabilities. he was manifested there, it was his true home, and the shadow dimension, his land. He WAS The Black Creed, but he He needed help, now more than ever,

Titanic nodded slowly and as Hector explained what he needed done. He shrugged when he was finished, "It's risky, I don't know," then Crow stepped into the room and asked what they were talking about. Titanic wasn't in the mood to answer Crow exactly, it might of been because he went racing after Atsila after she's woken up. He wondered if Crow was hiding something from him now too. This secrecy shit was getting more and more annoying.
The next person to come in was Atsila who said she would come. Titanic stood up, "No, you need to rest. Atsila, you just went through shit, you're not doing it again. I don't care if you have daemon blood running through your veins," he waved his arm in her direction, "It's still dangerous."
"I can too." Azraella said as she came up the stairs, she joined in on the conversation,"Well, I'm not sure if Crow and Titanic still want to go after knowing that they could be driven insane or to death there, but I don't think the chances are likely anyway, seeing that they are both pretty strong as it is. Unless they have some internal, deep and dark secret. The darkness with take advantage of that."
That left him thinking about what it could take advantage of; his fear of water? That'd be a little ridiculous. His loneliness? What? No, he wasn't lonely he had an entire gang, pretty much his family and he had Atsila and Hector, the only people he considered to be close to.
Crow stepped up next to put in his thoughts on the subject. He suggested they use Rellik as guinea pig. At first he thought it would be entertaining to watch him lose his sanity, but he slowly began to change his mind, "I'm not too sure about that, Crow. We still can't trust him really. If it doesn't have an effect on him, he could go out into the shadow dimension and do whatever he wants. We could hunt him down of course, but it would be fucking pain,"
Hector finally stepped in taking control of the problem. He picked Azraella and Crow to go with him, Titanic agreed that Azraella would be helpful in the dimension, but Crow was of course another matter. Titanic rubbed his chin and noticed some stubble growing, "I'm fine with that, but Crow it'll be really difficult, Hector can always pull you out, but it's still dangerous."

Blake sighed. Of course he would be chosen as part of the A-team, he knew how to solve any problem presented. But the issue would be all the variables. He really didn't like variables. Especially when they could be within him. And out of everyone here, Blake was pretty sure he had among the most demons. Ironically. But if he was crow instead of Blake, Crow, who didn't have any conflict.
But what could Blake do? Refuse to go? Then everyone would lose respect for him. He would lose face and he couldn't afford that. "However long it takes a human to die of insanity in that dimension . . . subtract two minutes from that and that's how long I'm willing to be in there. And you owe me. Like, a lot." He sighed again and let out an anxious growl. More like a low whimper.
"And if I die, tell Chasity . . ." Blake looked around the room and accidentally caught Atsila's eye, absently touching his cheek again. "Nevermind. Just . . . Forgot what I was going to say." He lied, then looked to Titanic. "Nothing to say? Not even: 'here's looking at you, kid'?"

[LilyDiana]

Lady, out of the- well, you couldn't really call it the kindness of her heart- pointed Rellik to where Titanic kept a few tools and things in the basement. "Over there." she waved a hand in the direction of a small closet. "There should be some things in there to help you out, but I'd do it quick." she yawned. "Sun's coming up fast."

She listened to the conversation going on above her. It sounded as if Crow and Atsila had returned, so had Chas, worse for wear by the smell of things. She could smell a bit of Titanic's blood, but that had been from a run in with a shotgun. But Chas hadn't been there, how had she gotten herself bloodied? She didn't really want to imagine Titanic's reaction to that piece of news, whatever it was.
They were discussing going into the shadow dimension, Hector taking members with him. From the sounds of it, Crow and Azraella were going. The the Daemon, there wasn't much to worry about, taking a werewolf had all kinds of risks, though, if anyone could do what Hector was asking, it would be Crow. Poor guy, he got sucked into everything.

Anastasia looked down to the human on the floor, he didn't look like he'd be coming around anytime soon. They'd have to fix that if they wanted information out of him.

[LittleLionFire]

Atsila frowned at Titanic, shooting him a look that would say he would get it later. Leader, brother or not, he did not control her life. She sighed, but listened to what everyone was saying. She rubbed her arms, thinking. If Crow went in, could he make it out alive? Or sane? She looked at him as he said something about if he died, tell Chasity...then her caught her eye and absently touched his cheek, the looked away. She sighed. Of course. Chasity. She shrugged the thought out of her mind.

She stepped forwards. "A were-wolf has some darkness in them, remember. So, if Crow reaches for that inside of him, he might have a better chance of not becoming insane or die." She then stepped backwards and studied her brother. She still was mad at him for telling her she could not go, but she was kind of glad he was not going, she still loved him. Her eyes were ice cold, though, not showing her emotions that she was feeling. Not that she wanted Crow to go either. Of course not. With that, her eyes assessed the were, watching him.

"Get them yourself," Azraella replied to Rellik Now this would usually irk him but because she was a superior he tried to keep his emotionless face and as Lady said the tools were in a small closet that he had overlooked " Thank you I know I haven't been too ...too oh well I will get back to that I should get to the door" one thing that Rellik really need to work on was describing his emotion but to the task at hand He walked over to the closet she had indicated and grabbed the tools he needed then walked upstairs passing the conversation occurring between most of the gang he shrugged it off and walked to where the door lay in front of the frame. Rellik laid the tools down on the ground at his feet before observing the damage from his kick apparently his kick had done more then he wanted, His kick had ripped the hinges out of the frame and left it cracked and broken with the sun quickly rising Rellik made the decision to fix it as fast as he can so he picked up a hammer from his tool pile driving nails also retrieved from the tool pile in to the door frame pressing the fractured pieces tightly together hopefully this would hold it till he could have more time to make a more permanent solution he fixed the hinges to the rigged frame and went back down stairs for the fun.

[Hector]

Hector took what crow said to a minimal level of seriousness, he was a leader in the shadow dimension! he would take good care of him. He knew what to do if something went wrong.
"Fifteen minutes on average, Fifteen for the average human to go officially insane in the shadow dimension. But look, if you honestly don't want to go, that's fine, but here's another point i have yet to make. Our entrance. I will be taking you there by manifesting your souls and body in the dimension itself, the more... Dark secrets... you have, the easier it will be, but i cant really tell for sure, OK, back on topic. My Point is that because i'm taking you there, and not banishing you like some more, for lack of a better word "Dickish" Daemons would, you can last much longer, Crow, you would have about an hour for insanity to finally start to take effect, and Azraella? You will be fine, i assure it." Hector said all this with a slight smile, with his right fang poking out of his bottom lip. he slouched back into the couch even more. "And let death be you least of worries, Crow. Two reasons, 1. I'm good at this stuff, ill take good care of ya, you won't die!" He said with a light chuckle "And two, it is not death you should fear... Look, I'm leaving that statement as is because i still want you to come." He said more serious now.

Hector was glad to have this gang to help him, but he could understand their concern, he threw one leg off the couch, then the other, hobbling a bit as he stood up too fast. He made his way over too Atsila, who was quite concerned for her fellow member. He put one hand, which was suspiciously cold, on her right shoulder. "Ill take care, don't worry," He took the hand down and smiled. "I've brought mortal humans to the shadow dimension before, they came out completely normal! well, mostly anyway." Hector realized what he just said and his eyes shot wide, "OK," He said in a slight panic, "not my best choice of words for calming you, again lets just get to my point, I've done harder things than bringing two people into the shadow dimension, And its not like were going on a whim either" He turned to face the rest of the group to talk as a whole "I'm going to prep for this one, Hard-core. So Crow, are you still up? if not i can surely get someone else in no time." He turned and faced crow with his hands in his Pockets, one finger poking through a hole in the jeans, patiently waiting for a response from his fellow member.

Blake took in a breath for nerve as he considered. But again, nothing to consider. He was doing it, and he had more sense than to go insane. Blake just couldn't imagine it. He had too much intellect. Call that ignorance, but he just didn't see it in his foreseeable future.
He nodded, "Forty-five minutes. And then I'm bailing. With all of the risks involved, let's not make any unnecessary ones. Now, someone explain to me why Chasity is in the upper part of the house? Titanic, you're gonna need to fill this one in for me." Blake's nose twitched and he wiped it. He smelled something that irritated his nose. Metallic, was it? Blake's nose was going up the wall and, given, he had a more acute than even most werewolves but Titanic didn't even seem to be flinching. You'd think that someone would be smelling it but Blake swallowed and pinched his nose. "Jeez," he muttered. Was it copper? Definitely a metal. And vinegar. Or blood. Definitely blood. Blake shot a worried look to Titanic now, knowing that if anyone has noticed his over-concern for that girl, it'd be him.

[PlasticIce]

"And if I die, tell Chasity . . ." Titanic watched him glance around the room and when his gaze reached Atsila he continued touching his cheek, "Nevermind. Just . . . Forgot what I was going to say." He then turned to Titanic and said "Nothing to say? Not even: 'here's looking at you, kid'?"
"I'm not in the mood for jokes," he growled. There was definitely something going on in Crow's head; first Chasity and now Atsila. His lip curled, but he stopped himself from getting dramatic about it.
Atsila began to speak next, then stepped back and eyed him with her icy blue eyes. He held eye contact with her until Hector continued the conversation. He could still feel Atsila watching him, he could only assume she was frustrated about his previous statement about him forbidding her to go, but he wouldn't step down.
Rellik suddenly emerged from the basement with a few tools and Titanic couldn't help, but snicker as the poor boy worked away at the door temporarily fixing it. Titanic noted that he'd have to make sure he finished his repairs another night, he wasn't going to force a vampire to do work in the middle of the day. He could be cruel , but he wasn't that cruel when it came to creatures like him.
He nearly missed the first half of what Hector had said, completely lost in his thoughts trying to solve the puzzles laid out for him to solve and his thoughts about Rellik and whether he should be accepted. Once Hector was finished all eyes returned to Crow.
Titanic was getting more suspicious by the minute, but he had to shake the feeling off, they had more serious matters to take care of. Finally, Crow answered accepting the challenge, but Titanic was still horribly concerned about this, just because Crow was smart didn't mean he was going to make it, he had faith in the kid though. Somehow, he thought Crow would be fine, then again, he could be wrong.
Crow mentioned Chasity being upstairs and it seemed his nose was bothering him. It seemed to really be bothering him at this point. Titanic had noticed it, but since he knew part of the reason why, he had simply pushed it aside without a second thought. He thought about how secretive Chasity had been when Titanic arrived at the bathroom door, how nervous she was and finally he came up with a simple answer, "It's nothing you should be concerned about right now," it wouldn't leave Crow satisfied he knew, but it was all he could give him right now.

[LilyDiana]

After Rellik left her, she settled back on to the couch again, only half listening to the conversation upstairs. It seemed as if it was decided, now. She was singing very quietly to herself, the harsh sounds of Old Norse words somehow softened. She stopped abruptly as Rellik made his way back down the stairs. "Oh, good. The sun didn't catch you." she said, her tone sweetly sarcastic. Lady didn't bother sitting up, hardly glancing at him as he descended the stairs into the cool, dark basement.

From the look that she saw on his face in that glance, he was prepared to have a bit of fun with their captive. "I hear Crow and Miniature Death are about to go gallivanting off to the Shadow Dimension with Hector. Surprised you weren't all eager to go." she commented, lazily flipping a tessen in the air. It flipped end over end until she caught it by the non lethal end.
