*Rob attempts to use his magic on the shadow, both a fireball and a sharp icicle sail through it, it doesn't pay any attention to him. It draws a knife and raises it to hurl it at Midnight, RMR decides on a physical attack and hurls himself at it. He sails through it too and lands with a nasty crunch on a table, banging his head. Surprisingly the shadow appears to have been affected by Rob somehow, it flickers and disappears as though an illusion, Rob knows however that it is quite real. Rob slowly gets up from his 3rd knock to the head in as many days, blood is pouring from his temple and he groans, turning to Midnight he sees she is alright.*
"I've got to stop headbanging, it's a dangerous sport!"

*Midnight smiles wanely.*
It is indeed. How do you feel?
*Midnight keeps her eyes open and alert just incase the shadow decides to reappear again.*
Any idea who or what the hell that shadow is?

"I feel as if i've had a fight with a sledgehammer and come off worse, far worse. As for the shadow all I know is it's a master assassin, sadistic and deadly. It's been leading a trail of killings in the realm I ended up in after the explosion and now it's found some victims in Wolfenden, there is a connection but I'm afraid my contract forbids me from sharing anymore information. I wonder if you could read this letter, it was addressed to me but it's in the language of the Watchers."

*Midnight looks at the piece of paper. for the longest time. RMR obviously getting frustrated by the length of time she takes to read it.*
Sorry my memory is well really bad due to something that happened a few years ago.Sadly I don't remember much of my past. Janis is trying to help me or is that torture me. Anyway from what I do remember this is quite a old Watcher language. I'm not exactly sure what it means but maybe you do.
Even when I'm not around I'm in control
*Midnight pauses and passes the note back to RMR.*
Sorry that's all it says, short and not so sweet.

*RMR apologises for seeming impatient but, as Midnight hands it back to him the words begin to glow and they change to normal language.* [glow=red,2,300]Even when I'm not around I'm in control[/glow] "It's spooky, the shadow must've know what was going to happen. He knew the note would send me to you, and that something would happen. Why did he want us both in the trance. Perhaps he's carried out another assassination while i've been inactive, I'll take this 'old chap' *indicates the still unconcious Walter* to the guardhouse and enquire about it there. You may do as you wish, sorry to have put you through the spirit-walk, i'm sure my memories were not too pleasant for you." *The words of the letter alter slightly* [glow=red,2,300]That's right, Ringmaster. Even when I'm not around I'm in control. You'll soon see just HOW in control I really am.[/glow] *Rob stares at it for a moment before incenerating it with a fireball, should 'Sir' Edmund or other potential enemies find it. He then unbinds Walter and carried him to the guardhouse.* [OOC: Continued in "The Inquisiton's Squad".]

[ModNote: Continued from Quite a thrill, wot!] *Seconds after RMR leaves, there is a strange sound, rather like the massed voices of a choir fading away. Then the window carefully swings open, and a rope made of brightly coloured bows extends down through it from the sky. As Midnight watches, a young man in extravagently loud clothes slides gracefully down the tail of the kite and springs lightly into the room. A large iridescent moth flutters after him. The young man grins and looks at the neon sign he grasps. It is now flashing and the message 'This way to Midnight' is clear, before, with a 'pop' it turns into a bush again.* *Extending his hand and discarding the bush* I say, I s'pose you must be Midnight, wot! *He pulls an implausably large sunflower from his pocket and offers it to her* Can't say as y'look much like y'need rescuin', but here we are anyway. Th ol'names Zeriphel by the way, Zeph to you, this is Diana and you must already know... *Notices that Janis still hasn't descended the tail of the kite* Oh where's he got too?

*A split second later, the carefully opened window is completely obliterated by a fast Moving Coriolis trying to get through in a manner other than desired...*
*Tables and chairs are bowled right and left in sequence as he slides bodily across the floor to land in a dishevelled and disorientated hump across the far side of the room...*

Oh honestly!
*Zeph snaps his fingers. A warm breeze swirls around Janis, drying him off, and wrapping the absorbing weed around his wound*
There we are, all spiffin!

*Midnight accepts the sunflower and is just to say something when Janis makes his appearance despite the day and night she has had Midnight bursts out laughing. Receiving a rather disgruntled look from Janis she as quickly as possible stops laughing but theres no hiding the laughter in her eyes.*
*To Zeph.*
Yes I'm Midnight Zeph, good to meet you thanks for the flower. It's lovely.
*Turning to Janis she replies rather smugly.*
Good to see you again Janis.
*Thats when she noticies something wrong though she can see him she can't feel him there. Now she has what she has wanted since meeting him she feels somewhat strange and off without that link.*

Oh... oh dear
*Zeph blushes deeply, although he manages to avoid saying something along the lines of 'not as lovely as you'*
*He looks at Janis to distract himself*
Y'friend over there seems to be in a bad way. Poison he reckons. That waterweed should clean the wound but he wouldn't tell me what was wrong so I couldn't help...
Somethin' stoppin' him from usin' that necklace though... I say, you have one very similar dont'cha?
Maybe you'll have more luck in gettin' him to tell you what's wrong?
*Zeph steps back to give them some privacy, he suspects that the necklaces might be engagement jewels....*

*He turns to her, reaching out with his mind but bashing his subconcious on a brick wall...*
You feel it to, don't you?
Or rather..... you DON'T feel it...........?

*Midnight shakes her head.*
No I don't feel anything.I see you but I don't feel you. It's odd really...
What happened?I felt something during the brawl not long after Leytan showed up....

Agreed though I have no idea who or even what it was... We have that Heathen Scale-Skin to thank for my current condition. *Racism used to be a major crime back in Arios, but the poison that Coriolis feels for the mercenary is plain for all to see...* He took a chunk out of me with one of his blades.... and somehow managed to blind me to Kaylos teachings. He'll find himself hanging from a rod when I get my hands on him!

Ah...that may take a while. He's left Wolfenden. He actually saved me from being kidnapped properly. If it hadn't been for him I would be with someone called Hakonatu.
*Midnight is unsure what to say but has to say it.*
It seems were being sought after by this Hakonatu. There was another guy with Leytan he seemed to be Hakonatus henchman and the man that hired Leytan to kidnap me.RMR took him to the guradhouse.
I've had a pretty busy night.
*Looks over to Zeph but talks to Janis.*
Where did you find him?

*Wanting to avoid another bout of extreme terror brought about by the mages randomness, Coriolis steps between the two and answers for him...* He found me at the same spot that I lost you... *He produces the Dagger that had been left at the road-side. Turning it over and over to read the inscription... I believe you may have lost something as well... *As he hands the weapon back to her, he intones the translation...* "To 'See' is our Raison D'etre."
