May 20, 2010 04:05

[Private to Tony]

[Whatever was here is so deeply scratched out as to be completely illegible]

[Filtered to Irene, Bruce, Facilier, Sark, McCullen... ...BASICALLY IF YOU'RE SOMEONE BELA CONSIDERS A FRIEND WORTHWHILE ASSOCIATE, YOU'RE ON THIS FILTER.]

Come to my room. I don't care where you are. Do it.

[He's talking as he's on his way. His communicator is his cell phone, okay?]

You know something about this, don't you?

[Voice] sonotahunter May 20 2010, 08:36:16 UTC

It doesn't matter-- [She gives a brief growl.] I'll explain once you're safely behind closed doors.

[HER PARANOIA HAS KICKED INTO HIGH GEAR. She's not. Going to say anything over the phone. .___.]

[OH RIGHT. THIS ISN'T A SECURE LINE. THE LOCUSTS MIGHT HEAR US.

Either way, he hangs up, because that's how he rolls and shows up at Bela's door and knocks. First. Because he's efficient. He's also covering his nose with a handkerchief, because GOD THAT SMELL.].

[YOU KNOW NOT OF WHAT YOU SPEAK, BOY.

She cracks the door open, then pulls it open wide enough for him to get inside--if he walks across the red sigil that fills her doorway.] Get in.

[well THAT isn't like her at all, and also Facilier isn't blind, so cue impromptu journal-as-communicator as he leaves his own room]

What floor?

If you've got those bugs, I already tried chasin' them out in my room, those suckers jump.

[this is his weak attempt at lulz, because really he just keeps wondering why we all cannot have THREE NORMAL MINUTES]

Voice sonotahunter May 21 2010, 08:21:25 UTC

Fifth floor, room ten. Unfortunately the locust swarm seems concentrated nearby.

Good, you're close. Let-

[as he passes by the library there's a wave of cold and an unbearably loud buzzing]

What the hell-

[he is at her door even quicker and does not bother knocking, though he does note the sigil on the floor]

[Bela looks up when he enters, midway through crafting a braided bundle of plants. She nods, her gaze flicking past him to the hall before the closes.] Facilier.

[And here is Bela, pacing lightly back and forth while the occasional locust wriggles its way under the door to be attacked by Lisbeth.]

Much as I might wish otherwise. [She gives her chin a quick jerk, inviting him to cross the elaborate red sigil painted in the doorway.] Close the door.

I - all right. I will be there shortly.

[A few minutes later, have a rather baffled-looking Irene knocking at your door]

sonotahunter May 21 2010, 08:34:02 UTC

[Bela opens it instantly, drawing her across the threshold and the devil's trap painted on the floor in the doorway.] Thank-- something.

[She shuts the door firmly, leaning against it for a breath before she locks it and turns to Irene.] I trust you had no trouble on your way here. Cold spots? Sulfuric smells?

always_thewoman May 25 2010, 06:21:36 UTC

I - [Irene glanced briefly down at the painted symbols on the floor, then back over her shoulder, then at Bela, leaning against the door, a picture of relief. It is this, more than anything, that floors her. Very few things shake Bela Talbot, and if something has, it must be very serious indeed.]

No. What's going on?

sonotahunter May 30 2010, 03:33:48 UTC

[She straightens, taking a deep breath and gathering her composure as best she can.] My suspicion is demonic activity.

[Bela gestures to the mark on the floor.] A devil's trap. It won't allow anything possessed to pass through the doorway.

[And watch how Bruce misinterprets this. So, so badly. WELL THEY LEFT ALL THAT AWKWARD FLOATING AROUND, IT'S AN EASY MISTAKE, OKAY.]

Uh. ...Um, I. Wh-why exactly should I be going? ...Exactly?

[voice] sonotahunter May 21 2010, 08:39:05 UTC

Because-- Why wouldn't you? [AGGRAVATION. SHE DOESN'T WANT TO EXPLAIN. AND SHE'S NOT SURE SHE COULD EXPLAIN WHY SHE WANTS HIM SAFE EVEN IF HE WANTED TO.]

[voice] gammapulsed May 21 2010, 16:55:04 UTC

W-well, because it's your room and. Er. ...Plus, there seems to be some kind of, um. Bug problem going around. And I thought my room was, um. Fine with staying in away from all of that, that is.

[voice] sonotahunter May 22 2010, 00:36:51 UTC

It's not just a bug problem, Bruce. Now get down here.
