Who: Tara, May, Molly, Ami, River, Chris, Faith, Daniel, anyone else
Where: Medical Facility
When: Day 22, late afternoon
Invited: Open
Status: Complete
ooc: not sure who's all going. so if the list Tara tells Daniel doesn't include you and you want to go, just post a walk-in.
The ladies went to the cafeteria where they began to gather some simple supplies for their journey. Daniel happened to be there getting some coffee and chatting with Chris. Tara approached the two, trying to walk without using the tables and chairs for support. She had indeed finished the rest of her sandwhich and an extra banana. It made her overfull to eat that much right now, but Molly was right, she needed fuel. she could feel the physical energy coursing through her body as she digested the food. She just wished she could feel the same about her magical energy. "Daniel, Molly, May, Faith, and myself are taking a short trip. Hopefully, with the help of a teleporter (she hoped Chris would be amenable). We need to head South and East of here to find some ley lines. I believe the ley lines will help me get my magic back." She sat down next to them, knowing standing wasn't in her best interest right now.

[Ash] You're none too sweet yourself....
Date: 2006-10-24 03:25 am (UTC)He looked at Tara again. "Well, I'll tell you," Ash said, sitting down at the table. "Here's an important safety tip. If you ever visit a cabin in the woods--and by visit, I mean break into--and you find a tape recorder on which someone has translated ancient incantations for summoning demons...for God's sake don't turn it on!"
He glanced around at the others, then met Tara's eyes again. "To make a long story short--to the great relief of everyone here, I'm sure--my hand was possessed by one of those evil spirits. Like an infection. And the only way to stop it from spreading was to cut it off."
"So I did."
[Tara] You didn't?!?!
Date: 2006-10-24 11:10 am (UTC)"No wonder I smelled the necromancy on you. That was a major spell you cast. By sacrificing your limb, you did indeed effectively nullify the spell. Lucky all it took was your limb."
[Mayday] You didn't?!?!
Date: 2006-10-24 05:54 pm (UTC)"Hey, I'm a city girl," May said, grinning at Tara. "In Queens, survival skills amount to dodging muggers and stalking the wild cheeseburger."
She shook Ash's good hand, showing absolutely no surprise at the presence of the prosthesis - she noticed it, but it didn't even make her blink. It wasn't like she'd never seen one before. She idly wondered if he had to repair it as often as her Dad had to get his artificial leg fixed. Probably not, given why he usually had to get it repaired. "May Parker," she added, properly introducing herself. "Got dumped here a few days ago."
His story, however, did take her by surprise. The fact that he cut his own hand off struck her speechless for a second. The necromancy discussion went right over her head, but she did understand that Ash had stopped whatever it was by cutting the hand off. Still, it took a hell of a lot of guts to do something like that. "I'm still stuck at the part where you cut your own hand off," she admitted, alternately impressed and a bit weirded out.
Okay, maybe he was the type to need to get that hand repaired a lot.
[Ash] The hell I didn't!
Date: 2006-10-25 02:12 am (UTC)IC: "What can I say? I'm a manly man," Ash said to May with a big ole grin. Then he sobered a bit. "It helped that I...let's just say I was a couple of cans short of a sixpack by that time. It had been a long, tough, gruesome night. And it wasn't going to get better for a while."
He shook off the memories and drained his coffee cup, then placed it on the table. "I don't know anything about spells," he said to Tara. "If you say it was a spell, fine; all I know is desperate times called for desperate measures."
"So--what time is this shindig tomorrow?"
[Tara]
Date: 2006-10-25 04:11 am (UTC)"Hmm, I'd say let's get an early start, but I know I need sleep" Tara yawned yet again. "How about 9 am? Faith, can you make sure I get up?"
"Sure, but it might not be till 9:30." Tara went to protest, but knew it was futile. They'd wake her up when they were good and ready to get her up. She did need the sleep.
"Help me to the bedroom? I'm not sure I can make it on my own. I'm so tired."
