[QUOTE="covaithe, post: 4977976, member: 46559"] [color=olive]"You're... investigating? And you wear Lauto's mark. Yes, you can't be with them! What happened? Well, my name is Varonus Morenson. I own an import business for fine textiles. Our offices are in... but that doesn't matter. For twelve years, now, I have, as the dwarf says, been opening doors I shouldn't have been opening. I was... just bored, really. I mean, textile imports aren't exactly what I dreamed of, when I was young, and I'm not getting any younger. I just wanted some excitement, and when I stumbled across that book, well... I never did anything with what I summoned; never sent them on rampages or anything. I had them build this room for me in secret, kept it from my family. It was my secret, my way to get away and be myself for a bit. Well, it turns out, someone noticed. I started to get notes, left in places no one but me would look. Threats, telling me that they knew what I was, and they had a job for me, and that they wouldn't take no for an answer.

The demon just stands there, tense, waiting. [color=olive]"I've never summoned anything like this. I don't even know what it is. I can't command it. I can't even banish it.

"You should go."[/color] It has been at least two days since the family upstairs were killed, which explains the man's exhaustion.
