Downtime Exploration

by Tower Curator — Through a thin slit in a heavy metal door, Eva watched as Sawyer's body turned to ash in a high intensity fire. Bright orange light bathed over everything around, even though the only exit for the light was the small slit that Eva watched through. Copying the women's ward a second time had given Eva plenty of space to create a makeshift kiln. Every scrap of Sawyer's body was inside except for the finger that Eva had kept. Even the shards of teeth that he had spat out onto the floor. There were still…

Down Once More

by Tower Curator — "Huh." Eva stared down at the blade, even ignoring the startled shout from Zoe and the sudden movement from the demons who might as well have been statues up until now. Normally---and her experience with blades so far in her life supported this fact---blades hurt when they jabbed through her. This one... didn't. Not more than a slight pinch, anyway. In addition, Eva had killed people before. A number of them. Perhaps not as many as Sawyer, but she had killed enough. And she had killed enough of them…

Double Trouble

by Tower Curator — "What did you do to Arachne?" The thing using her body spun around, whipping out its tail mere inches from Eva's face. Eva didn't flinch. Mostly because of her anger, but partially because she was so used to not moving that doing so actually felt awkward. Instead, Eva kept up her glare while trying to keep her breathing under control. This thing, this being, could probably snap her like a twig and crush her to powder as easily as Eva could step on an ant. Attacking it couldn't go over well no matter…

Domains

by Tower Curator — The surface of the liquid was so close. Juliana could see the light glinting off the surface. She stretched high, pulling herself up through the murky liquid with a long sweep of her arm. Her metal was gone, left back at the prison. All that she kept was around her arms. The two bracers barely made up enough to form a dagger or two. And Juliana was very seriously considering ditching that much. Her movements were slow and sluggish. Like she was swimming in honey. The water she had entered at the…

Domain Maintenance

by Tower Curator — Eva's first thoughts upon landing on the sandy beach could be summed up in three simple words: What a mess. She glanced around her domain with a sinking feeling in her stomach. That unpleasant feeling that she had felt while enigmas were still 'alive' permeated the place. It didn't take long to figure out why. As Eva moved up the beach to the entrance to the alternate women's ward, she stopped and froze with a gaping mouth. Mess was putting it lightly. Just about every one of the trap doors had…

Disturbance in the Women’s Ward

by Tower Curator — Eva rolled a bloodstone between her fingers. Aside from the bloodstone embedded in the hilt of her dagger, this was her last bloodstone. And it was one of the good ones, too. The ones from the museum that had a drastically longer shelf life than they should. As such, despite having the ritual circle set out and all the reagents collected, Eva was loath to actually put it to use. According to the ritual tome, what she currently had set out should give her a one-way connection to the target, allowing…

Distant Visions

by Tower Curator — Nel paced in front of the door that led out of Ylva's domain. The last time she left the domain, a series of bad things happened. Mostly to her. But this time was different. Right? Lady Ylva had threatened the Elysium Order, so they shouldn't come after her. Eva had her blood wards up around the entire prison, so no one should be able to teleport in and kidnap her. And if someone started unraveling the wards, Nel was going to sprint at full speed for Ylva's domain, sky cracking or not. Nel stopped…

Dismantling Operations

by Tower Curator — The pleasant heat vanished. A cool musk rushed in to replace it. Slowly, carefully, Arachne set Eva down on the slightly uneven ground. She used all of her legs to help steady Eva until she got her balance under control. Eva shrugged her off and kept her own balance. She stumbled forwards almost immediately. One of Arachne's limbs reached out and steadied her. Without toes, Eva had to pick up her feet straight up in order to walk. It wasn't quick and it wasn't elegant. More of a waddle.…

Discussions and Waiting

by Tower Curator — Eva watched as Zoe left with the body of Simon. Somehow, Eva was hoping that she wasn't about to return the body to the hospital. Its condition was far from pristine. Seeing it would probably cause a lot of grief if he had anyone that cared about him. Perhaps returning his ashes would be the best course of action. Brushing his hands together to get rid of chalk dust, Devon stood from the circle. "Everything is drawn correctly," he said. "Seems a sick kid won't do. At least, not one that sick." With a…

Discussions

by Tower Curator — Eva coiled the muscles in her legs and jumped off from the ground. She soared through the air, free from the tethers of gravity for a scant few seconds. When gravity finally reasserted itself, Eva fell only a few inches. Her bare feet impacted the top of the sandstone wall. It was a very light impact--Eva had plenty of practice getting the jump just high enough--but as light as it was, it still caused some of the sandstone to crumble. One of the walls had partially collapsed from Arachne climbing over…
