Mage: The Awakening PbP - Nemesis

"Alrighty, where's this phone book then? There's people to call before I'm willing to rest," Harlequin says, pulling out his cell phone.

 

[Shayuri]

Thessaly looks blankly at Morrigan at the name Shishi, then nods. "Phone book's up above. I'll get it. I'll bring the mask and the note too, just in case."

She thumbs a switch in the wall, and hurries up the staircase, just barely missing the opening ceiling.

Up above in the bookstore, she quickly grabs the mentioned items, and shuts off the lights before going to rejoin the others.

The number for the planetarium is easily found. Morrigan makes the call and after two rings, Starbuck picks up the line, “Uhh hello, can I help you?” In the background she can here can some loud music, sounds like oldies rock and roll.

Cymbeline is quiet just taking everything in.

Gawain speaks to Thessaly, “How well did you know your grandmother?”

 

[Festy_Dog]

"Yes, Thessaly. I'd like to hear a little about the woman who gave me this role in your story," Harlequin said, hoping for an insight into why he was chosen.

 

[Shayuri]

Thessaly smiles and shrugs, a little shy to be at the center of attention.

"I knew her pretty well, I guess. As well as I could, since I wasn't Awakened... I remember she was really good natured. Firm...she wouldn't back down if you couldn't prove her wrong, but always nice about it. No matter how nasty anyone got to her, she'd just be sweet and polite as pie, and she'd always come out on top."

She pauses, thinking back.

"I think two things stick out in my head about her the most. She was the least afraid person I ever knew. She never made excuses, never lied...well, unless she HAD to, you know...and never tried to...to...protect herself, by pretending she was or wasn't feeling something. And yet, she wasn't insensitive about it either. And the other thing was that she was lonely. I mean...way down inside her. She didn't try to hide it, but she didn't really try to express it either. I always thought it was because she lived alone...but that wasn't it."

Thessaly takes a deep breath and lets it out. "She was lonely because of all the things she knew, and she had no one to talk to about them. She had family, and she had customers and she was happy...but in hindsight I think she really missed having other Awakened around. I don't know why she cut herself off that way..."

"Starbuck? Morrigan speaking," Morrigan greets her neutrally, "I'm calling to warn you. We have reason to believe there are at least two banishers in town. Someone should probably inform the local Arrows and Guardians. But since our lot is quite new around here, we have no idea on how to contact them..."

"Gives you a lot of time to think about the future," Harlequin says.

 

[Shayuri]

"I guess," Thessaly answers Harlequin. She looks at Gawain then. "What about the other half though? How well did you know her...as a magician?"

Starbuck answers with a smile in her voice, “Morrigan, hey girl…” The Free Council mage then listens to Morrigan explain her situation and replies, “Damn that sounds serious; okay I will notify Crash right away.”

Starbuck pauses, “Are you all alright, do you need me to swing by anything?”

Gawain nods, “She believed she was protecting you… from something, Thessaly. She never told me what that was, but she felt that only she alone could do it… I wish she would have let me in. Winnie was dear to me, and a peer that I will sorely miss. The Awakened community is a darker place without her presence.”

 

[Aenion]

"Thanks," Morrigan replies, "I think we'll be fine," she looks up to the others for confirmation, "Although we might need to make a trip to a pharmacist first thing tomorrow. If you're adept at the art of Life, your help would be appreciated. We had a bit of a run in with one of the Banishers."
