John's gaze was flickering between the heavy, ancient door that refused to budge and the church walls surrounding them that offered no suggestion of where to go — when Lorelai's voice broke through his rapidly moving thoughts. Turning to face her again, his brows furrowed. "Yeah, I can still see you." Obviously, that wasn't the answer she was hoping to hear, and one that ushered forth an entirely new set of questions. This entity, the lich, could contain her to the degree that it might even limit her abilities?

For a beat, the trepidation such a revelation brought felt akin to ice trickling down John's spine. Perhaps he wasn't in possession of any sort of powers, yet he could imagine what being stripped of them this way might feel like; no wonder Lorelai had balked at the notion of encountering this being the way she had the other day at the coffee shop. Although he needed her help to ensure that no one else lost their lives to the lich's machinations, he couldn't stop a singular notion from practically ringing in his ears: maybe, in spite of that, this was a mistake. And John knew that if anything at all happened to her, if anything hurt her, he would never forgive himself.

Still, he couldn't dwell on that right now. He couldn't, he couldn't, he couldn't. That would damper his ability to think properly, and there was little John loathed more than being useless. Thus, at the suggestion Lorelai followed with, he allowed a swift nod of his head. "Power always has its limits." Even if the lich could ensnare them in the church's sanctuary, that didn't negate the possibility that finding their way into another area of the chapel might change that.

He was just in the midst of pulling aside a heavy rug to ensure there wasn't some sort of door hidden in the floor beneath when the sound of creaking hinges drew his attention. One of the doors she had tried opened, with nothing but inky darkness concealing wherever it may lead. "Good job." Pulling his small flashlight from his inner jacket pocket, he flicked it on to reveal a crumbling staircase snaking down into further blackness.

Then, John offered her his hand. "I'll go first, and this way, we'll make sure we stay together no matter what's down there." For the first time since the front doors remained barred, a wry grin rose briefly to his lips. "Which I'm hoping includes an exit. And maybe after we walk out of here, you'll let me take you out again. No lich or abandoned church included, I promise."

 @spirit-x-ing​ sent: Pops head into the cabin. ❝ Hey, Lil~~~~!❞ she sings out. ❝Are you here?!❞ she asks. ❝I went down south and they said you were up here on vacation or something. I brought you a cake to thank you for lending me that demon buddy of yours!❞ she called out before floating all the way inside, holding a cute cake in her hands. Her head and eyes wandered looking around the cabin for any sign of her highness.

“You brought a cake,” Lilith repeated, appearing behind Lorelai in the barest hint of a chilling breeze and the faintest smell of sulphur. She peered at the gift curiously, though more in consideration than judgement, before nodding her approval. 

“And it’s not exactly a vacation, but a rather a...change of environment,” she explained, taking the cake from Lorelai’s hands as she spoke. There was still work to do, just as much as usual, but though she didn’t often deign to admit it out loud, here, in this realm was a more...conducive work space. Pandemonium was full of whining demons and problematic coups that were more than a little distracting. 

“And how did it work out?” She asked, conjuring a knife in order to slice into the cake. “Did you find the information you needed? Or is this cake really for commiseration?”

Lorelai was, understandably, lost for words. Generally speaking even amongst witches, celestial blood was a rare occurrence, and it was rarer still for those who believed their families entirely normal. Something which Lorelai, until recently, had been utterly convinced of. Yet it seemed her family secrets went far deeper than cult behaviour and a warlock brother.

And it was something which Lilith distinctly disliked the taste of.

"If you'd ever actually read a bible, or crossed celestial paths before, you'd know that angels, as a general rule, aren't nice. Lucifer wasn't banished for being cruel or violent." No, he had been banished for challenging the status quo, for fighting back against a....problematic hierarchy. The irony was that he had gone on to create his own.

"Even if the celestial soul inside him did have control of both his thoughts and his actions, it isn't likely it would have turned his attention to your absence or your well-being," Lilith admitted honestly. "Celestials tend to be single-minded, their focus only on their own personal goals, with no real concern of who else it might...negatively affect." And yet so many of the mortals idolised them, like the ignorant fools they were.

"However," Lilith continued, "I don't believe your brother is aware of what resides inside him, what his true nature actually is." It was possible she was wrong, but the way the celestial energy ran through his veins suggested an element of dormancy. However, the same could not be said for the rest of Lorelai's family, particularly when she spoke of memories of secret meetings and...suspected secrets.

"Have you thought that perhaps the reason your family seemed to...set you aside, that they didn't appear to care that you were gone, might be perhaps because they're the cause of your brother's...celestial nature?" Lilith asked. "That the strangeness you remember ties back to your brother and his...assumed destiny."

Lilith had an obvious face of disgust and distrust as a minor demon came in to quickly magic the mess. Lorelai herself was about to take a step closer before Lilith put a stop to the cleaning with an aura of authority. She held her hand out stopping the demon in place. Lorelai felt the energy before her and stopped as well. She bit her lower lip as she eyed Lilith nervously.

Cermoniously as she was elegant, Lilith magic the spilled blood into a sphere as the demon had scurried away. Lorelai swallowed confused as she stared at the blood. Its amorphous liquid danced between them as she stared with awe. Was she going to save it for another time, put it back in the goblet? Though the question was clearly answered when the blood started to separate and evaporate into nothingness. Lorelai stepped back leaning a bit away. It was a powerful feat that made her a bit weary. A reminder that Lilith could possibly manipulate her physical being with blood alone.

Lorelai took a deep breath. ❝What was —❞ she started but Lilith started talking once more. She calmed as she listened. ❝Oh,❞ Lorelai replied at first before thinking about it more. ❝Wait what?❞ she asked confusedly. Warlock / magic user, she was expecting, clearly a given. Relative possibly brother, she wasn't so sure. Though a celestial, possibly a Fallen Angel. Nope.

Lorelai shook her head to the side in blatant denial. ❝No...❞ she said. ❝I mean....❞ she stopped her mind was racing with questions before going blank. ❝Puhhh,❞ she blew out overwhelmed. She turned and slapped her thighs with her hands. ❝I....❞ she was at a loss for words before she turned and sat down on a step.

She stared quietly for a while trying to process one thought at a time. ❝You know...you'd think he'd be a nicer person if he was actually part angel... you know,❞ she rasped. Her emotions were getting the best of her now. ❝Or remotely cared about where they took his little sister, never thought to question if she was alive,❞ she stated. ❝Why am I surprised, right? Probably was just happy to be an only child,❞ she stated. She was quiet for a moment.

❝My grandmother not caring, that was expected. My mother... you'd think she would have at least tried to search for me and my brother...psh...who cares, right,❞ she said accepting the fact that he was considered fallen for a reason. Her eyes watered a bit as she looked down and swallowed the bitter information she just received. ❝You think he knows what he is?❞ Lorelai rasped in question as she looked up at Lilith.

Lee's travels had taken him somewhere he had been before. Not for the sake of his crusade, he had already focused on his crusade the last time he visited the area. This time he was just visiting because he had enjoyed the area the first time he visited and was on a break from his crusade. He hadn't been walking through the area long before he spotted something that made a smile appear on his face. More like someone.

The man had spotted someone he had met in the past unexpectedly and was quite surprised, but pleasantly surprised. The smile on Lee's features widened as he then approached them without hesitation and pulled them into his embrace for a hug, arms wrapping around their waist as he lifted them into the air out of pure excitement.

"Hey girl! How have you been?! This is a pleasant surprise! Been too long!" He said with complete excitement as he gave her a gentle squeeze as they hugged.

The micahverse situation is horrible. Spirit X harassed Micah even after they apologized multiple times till Micah ended up drawing NINE art pieces for them. I get Micah shouldn’t have been petty, but spirit was just as petty and gross imo for harassing a minor like that.

I want to reiterate that as of May 2022 SpiritX was a minor and so it is possible that they are still a minor but I cannot prove their exact age.

Still overkill though. SpiritX took a molehill and made it into a volcano.

[cove-simp]

OKAY YES

I’m trying to get that answer again and it’s just not doing the thing 😭

Okay I think I’m tripping…

I distinctly remember sneaking into Cove’s room at the end of step 3, kissing him, then having him ask “Is that the only reason you came… because you’re h*rny?”

Does anyone know what I’m talking about??

John couldn’t tell if Lorelai had heard him or not. Standing beneath the church roof as he was now, everything outside sounded far more distant than he felt it should. Perhaps in another circumstance, he would have been tempted to chalk it up to feeling unsettled by the odd atmosphere of the entire place, yet when he aligned it with everything else — ? Presuming anything of that sort to be imaginary struck John as immensely foolish.

Before he could walk the short distance to the door to check for her outside, she was there. The sudden pleasure he garnered just at the sight of her wasn’t unusual anymore, but it somehow still surprised him; it was much like her, in that way.

“Nothing concrete yet, just a lot of little things that’ll add up to something else. Or I hope they will, anyway.”

With Lorelai’s hands on his shoulders and the worry etched across her pretty face, John couldn’t quite help himself from brushing some of her dark hair back behind her ear. “There’s an indent carved into one of the tombstones for a key that matches the one on the other grave we found. I’d brought the key I made from before, that’s how I got inside.” Pressing his lips together, he paused for a short moment, then continued, “It just feels weird in here. And I’m kinda regretting that I dragged you into it.” Maybe the strange aura surrounding them within the chapel walls was nothing, yet he couldn’t shake the trepidation that it might be something — and if it was, and it affected her, that was an outcome he couldn’t abide. “D’you think this might be dangerous? Not the lich, I mean whatever’s going on inside right now.”

That was when John’s other hand rose to brush against her waist, a slight tension in his fingertips. He couldn’t forget how Lorelai had responded when confronted with the possibility that this investigation might revolve around such an undead being, nor could he neglect the silent promise he had made to himself to protect her. “I don’t want anything to hurt you. It’s all right if it’s me, but I don’t want it to be you.”

Stan looks at her sadly and then nods his head "You are right about me being strong willed but it's to the point of stubbornness and that doesn't make anything simple for anyone." He chuckles and then starts walking out from the cabin and into the start of the forest "How come I couldn't come out here before, but I can now? I mean was I just sticking to the place I died so I could help more people or something? I don't get that part of it, but I don't guess I have too either." Stan stretches out his muscles and lets out a groan as his back pops.

"Do I even feel anything like I did when I was alive or is my body manufacturing these sensations for me to make me think that I still live? There's so many questions that probably only have answers on the other side or not at all." He tilts his head to the side as he looks back at her from where he stands "Do you think I'll ever get the answers to all of them, or will I be left to figure it out on my own?" Stan then hugs himself as a form of self-protection or at least that's what he thinks it is."

"So, you're going to have to leave me here to wait for whatever happens to get me to cross over the reaper or the glowing hole? I'm not so sure that I like the glowing hole option but if I see it, I'll make sure that I take it." He smiles at her and get a thoughtful look on his face "For some reason I wish you could go with me but hey, I'm going to be happy where I am and you're going to be happy where you are so it all evens out." Stan looks just over her should then "I think I just found the glowing hole version of passing over." He says as he walks over to it and then looks back over his shoulder at her "I'll see you around maybe huh?" Stan turns his head and walks into the light the hole closing behind him.

talesfromahs​:

Stan walks out the door of the cabin and looks over the forest below with all its secrets and then nods his head “So you’re a reaper? I thought that you guys would be like skeletons with robes carrying scythes and stuff not look like a normal person, excuse me for the observation.” He chuckles and goes over to the railing and leans on it as he looks back at her “You’re here to help me cross over or something right? I thought that maybe this was where I was going to be staying not that I know anything about being dear precisely.” Stan then gets a thoughtful look on his face then looks at her “I think that I should go now if there’s nothing left here for me to do.”

“I’m just rolling around taking up space that shouldn’t be taken up buy anything anymore, but it sure did take them long enough to believe about the danger of what was out there or the real danger that it could pose if humans got any closer to them than they already had.” He glances at her out of the corner of his eye with a small smile in his expression “I always did wish that they would stop so many people from coming through here so I’m glad that my death helped in that at least.”

“I really do hope that I got that couple out safe. I mean I died before we all got out of the cabin, but I hope they still have their lives. I also hope that they never come back here looking for their son because they might find something that they really don’t like. I hope he’s out there somewhere, but I doubt that he’s the same kid that they lost all those years ago and who knows the cannibals might have raised him and that’s not something that I would want to find out about my son.” Stan looks at her in the eyes “Sometimes death is just the easier of your choices even if it does hurt like hell and leave your loved ones behind.”

He turns to the forest to look out over it and smiles “Can I get out of this cabin and have a little walk around the place before we go? I’ve been looking at the same four walls for what seems like forever, and I’d like to see some of the forest I used to protect before I pass over to whatever’s on the other side. Is it pretty over there or is it just like here only with spirits roaming around?” Stan then tilts his head to the side cocking an eyebrow at no one “Just one more walk around before I go because I need to screw up my courage for this. I’m more than a little scared.”

She releases a soft smile. ❝ I’m not a Reaper, I do work for Death. The Reaper sent to you tried to reap you earlier but failed, ❞ she voiced. ❝ Reapers appear differently to all people. Most will try to appear as someone you know, others just a friendly face, a few…well they don’t care much for the newly dead’s comfort, ❞ she voiced as she looked at him. She watches him walk to the railing and lean against it.

She crosses her arms, head tilting. An amused smile on her face. Stan never looked like the introspecting type. Though he is a Ranger, there was plenty of time to ponder about life and death. ❝ I can see why she asked me to help you, ❞ Lorelai commented. ❝ Maybe I suspected why, ❞ she added looking up thoughtfully. Her gaze focused back on him. She swallowed before shrugging. ❝ I don’t know your death was considered one of the many tragedies…there may be a chance that they didn’t make it out either, ❞ Lorelai added softly.

She approached him and placed a hand on his shoulder. ❝ Your death happened because you felt the need to protect others. It was a sacrifice, ❞ she added. ❝ It’s a noble way to die, it’s enlightening, karmic raising, ❞ she elaborated. She smiled softly as she pulled her hand away from his shoulder. ❝ Of course, ❞ she said liking the sound of that idea. ❝ Who am I to deprive a nature lover, of a taste of what they hold dear, ❞ she said before fading once more. She appeared on the ground, stepping about and enjoying the fresh coolness of a new day.

❝ I doubt you have much to worry about once you pass over, ❞ Lorelai voiced as she began to wander out. ❝ Once you’re ready to go, either call out for her….your Reaper or when you see it, a portal, a light, just go for it, ❞ she added. ❝ I don’t know what awaits you on the other side… it’s different for everyone, personal, ❞ she stated. She turned to face him. ❝ I have to go soon, ❞ she said a bit sadly. ❝ My job was only to get you to see and accept your death. You pretty much did that on your own. I was only here to clarify it for you, ❞ she said hugging herself. ❝ You’re strong, Stan. Strong-minded, strong-willed, wiser than most, ❞ she reminded. ❝ You don’t need much help from anyone. ❞

A lot of things were currently going on at the Coven. Some witches were stressed while others clueless on what to do. In times like these Pandora would find herself coming up with ridiculous ideas that sounded good at first but upon further thinking turned out to be foolish. Going to the well-known murder house to find some more information on Michael was one of these things.

Curiosity was in her eyes as she opened the door to the old building. Something lingered in the air but Pandora couldn’t point out what it was. This place gave her a weird feeling. Was it the history of that place or knowing that there might be a chance of something going wrong that let a shiver run through her whole body; she didn’t know. 

She was walking around, trying to see if anyone of the spirits were present but to her surprise it didn’t seem to be the case or maybe she just hadn’t looked around much? The girl stopped in her tracks as a noise reached her ears. Someone was there, that was for sure. 

“Is someone there? Show yourself! I just want to talk. ”
