"Yeah, you're welcome. You're dangerous with that sad look, you twisted my arm clean off with it." ------ "Some sort of herbal concoction that may dispel this magic block. It's been my third attempt this morning with no results. Well, no positive results. I did manage to burn part of the wall with candle flame." Liam said with a sigh. "It's cold out, at least come in here. Don't mind the mess, I've spent the morning researching ways to break this on my own." He said, moving a few strewn papers from a couch.nondisclosed_email@example.com (NoraMooney)Thu, 15 Aug 2019 06:29:40 +0000 Re: Mobster AUhttps://bmooneyandfangsrp.runboard.com/p5754,from=rss#post5754https://bmooneyandfangsrp.runboard.com/p5754,from=rss#post5754"Thank you so, so much!" Ciro said, giving Kage a hard hug in thanks, practically beaming up at him. Luis and Maria were already paying the bill and double checking that they had their weapons on them. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Partly because I'm comfortable, mostly because it makes Miguel uncomfortable and that's amusing to me," Caden said, Miguel looking annoyed at that answer. "What did you just drink, by the way?"nondisclosed_email@example.com (girlgotfangs)Thu, 15 Aug 2019 06:24:03 +0000 Re: Mobster AUhttps://bmooneyandfangsrp.runboard.com/p5753,from=rss#post5753https://bmooneyandfangsrp.runboard.com/p5753,from=rss#post5753Kage nodded and glanced around once more. "It's outside the city, a big place with this windy ass rode off of eaglewood st. Looks real regal with dragons and a gate blocking the entrance." ------ Liam looked down at his cup on the ground before sighing. Might as well get this over with now, He'd deal with the mess later. He made his way to the door, opening it after a moment of hesitation. "I... why are you in pajamas?" Liam's thoughts were cut off when he got a better look at what Caden was wearing, perplexed.nondisclosed_email@example.com (NoraMooney)Thu, 15 Aug 2019 06:21:01 +0000 Re: Mobster AUhttps://bmooneyandfangsrp.runboard.com/p5752,from=rss#post5752https://bmooneyandfangsrp.runboard.com/p5752,from=rss#post5752Cio grasped Kage's hands in his and nodded. "No one will find out, I promise," he swore, Maria and Luis listening in on the conversation. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Caden waved cheerfully at Liam through the window, sipping again on his thermos, which Miguel was increasingly growing concerned about; it smelled more like tomatoes than coffee. "What are you even drinking?" "Soup. Its cold out, and I think I'm getting sick." "You're a demon, you can't get sick. Jesus Christ, why are you so weird," Miguel complained, to which Caden shrugged.nondisclosed_email@example.com (girlgotfangs)Thu, 15 Aug 2019 06:14:34 +0000 Re: Mobster AUhttps://bmooneyandfangsrp.runboard.com/p5751,from=rss#post5751https://bmooneyandfangsrp.runboard.com/p5751,from=rss#post5751Kage looked down at Ciro and cursed before quickly looking away, having trouble saying no to someone who was about to start crying. "...I'd be putting a lot of people in danger if I tell you, myself included." He said, then groaned and glanced around before leaning closer to Ciro. "No one can know this came from me, got it?" He said, mentally cursing himself, but unable to help himself. ------- Liam stared at the tea for a long moment before downing it, grimacing at the overly bitter taste. As he went to set down the cup, he spotted Caden and Miguel from the corner of his eye, startling and dropping the cup. "Fuck." He hadn't thought he'd be found so quickly, he had hoped he'd have more time to figure something out.nondisclosed_email@example.com (NoraMooney)Thu, 15 Aug 2019 06:10:08 +0000 Re: Mobster AUhttps://bmooneyandfangsrp.runboard.com/p5750,from=rss#post5750https://bmooneyandfangsrp.runboard.com/p5750,from=rss#post5750"Wait!" Ciro said, sprinting after Kage and grabbing his arm, looking up at him with a pleading expression, tears in his eyes. "Please, is there anything else you can tell us? He kidnapped my best friend... Just, even where he might live, anything." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Nice place," Caden remarked as he pulled up to the cabin, quietly pulling up beside the car Liam had taken and shutting off his. Miguel and Caden got out of the car, the demon peering through the windows at Liam. "Looks like he's trying some... teas? Brews? That looks like a grimoire."nondisclosed_email@example.com (girlgotfangs)Thu, 15 Aug 2019 06:03:36 +0000 Re: Mobster AUhttps://bmooneyandfangsrp.runboard.com/p5749,from=rss#post5749https://bmooneyandfangsrp.runboard.com/p5749,from=rss#post5749"Lot's of people know about Laz's crew around here." Kage said, popping the last of his sandwich into his mouth. "And most know not to mess with them, which is why I'm telling you you don't want to mess with them." He said, glancing at his phone. "Ann-yways, I've got to go, so good luck with not messing with Laz and Caden." He said, giving the three a smile and dropping the money for his food on the table before turning and trying to make a quick exit. ------ Books and documents lined the tables and counters of the kitchen, and Liam was currently mixing some sort of tea, or maybe potion? as per the instructions in one of the books he found. That would be his third attempt out of what he had found, so he hoped it worked. The first attempt had left scorch marks on the walls from the candles flaring suddenly, while the second turned out to be a recipe for turnovers.nondisclosed_email@example.com (NoraMooney)Thu, 15 Aug 2019 05:58:10 +0000 Re: Mobster AUhttps://bmooneyandfangsrp.runboard.com/p5748,from=rss#post5748https://bmooneyandfangsrp.runboard.com/p5748,from=rss#post5748Luis slowly turned towards Kage, narrowing his eyes at the demon. "And you would know this... how?" He asked. Ciro sat forward, interested and wide-eyed. If there was any information they could get about Liam's whereabouts and his kidnappers, he had to get it out of this man. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Caden didn't even bother peering into the room, drinking something out of a thermos and staring at Miguel sleepily. "He's gone, huh?" The human sighed and nodded, rubbing his hands through his hair, and Caden rifled through the pockets of his pajama pants before pulling out a set of car keys. At Miguel's look, Caden frowned. "What? I figured this would happen." "Your still wearing your slippers." "And I was fully prepared to go back to bed just in case he stayed. Come on." Caden pulled Miguel along and out the door, unlocking the car and looking at his phone, finding the GPS signal of the car Liam had stolen. "Mm... Rooky mistake, right there." "Its not like he's a seasoned criminal," Miguel griped as they pulled away from the house and headed towards Liam's cabin.nondisclosed_email@example.com (girlgotfangs)Thu, 15 Aug 2019 05:49:09 +0000 Re: Mobster AUhttps://bmooneyandfangsrp.runboard.com/p5747,from=rss#post5747https://bmooneyandfangsrp.runboard.com/p5747,from=rss#post5747Kage happened to be close, sitting and enjoying a sandwich with soup while looking completely out of place in the cafe. His interest perked at hearing Caden's name, and he looked over at the three. "Mmm, wouldn't want to fuck with those guys." He said after swallowing. "Not if you want to live, anyway." ------- Liam hardly slept, and had half a jar of canned pears and a cup of coffee for breakfast before he set to try and figure out how to break the block on his magic. It couldn't be too hard, right? He could figure it out without any need for him to be in pain, and everything would be fine, he was sure. He was glad his family was at least somewhat occult in their collections, so as soon as he had finished his coffee, he set to searching through everything in the cabin to try and find some sort of an answer, only taking breaks for more coffee.nondisclosed_email@example.com (NoraMooney)Thu, 15 Aug 2019 05:41:44 +0000 Re: Mobster AUhttps://bmooneyandfangsrp.runboard.com/p5746,from=rss#post5746https://bmooneyandfangsrp.runboard.com/p5746,from=rss#post5746Luis sat with Maria and Ciro at a cafe downtown, his cousin tearing apart the napkin next to his untouched muffin in worry, biting at his lip and glancing at the people walking by on the street. "So we know who took him, then." Maria sighed as she leaned back in her seat and sipped at her coffee, outwardly calm but seething still. "The CCTV footage was pretty clear; it was definitely Caden Aurum that kidnapped Liam. We've been trying to bust him and his skeevy boss for years now." "I just don't understand. What would a mob boss want with Liam? I mean, his parents just died! He's the least shady person I know!" Liam dropped his head in his hands, Luis reaching out to rub his back. "Don't worry, Ciro, we'll get him back. I'll take Maria, and we'll have you on standby just... just in case," Luis said, fearing the worst but determined to see this through. ~~~~~~~~~~ Miguel wasn't exactly surprised to find Liam missing in the early hours of the morning, just mildly disappointed and worried about what would happen when Lazarus found out. Maybe, with luck, Miguel would be able to just... track him down and drag him back with no one the wiser, but the sun was rising, and Caden, at the very least, proved to rise with it every day for the past six hundred years. Already he could hear the quiet pad of the demon's footsteps coming down the hall, likely to check on Liam, just as Miguel was doing.nondisclosed_email@example.com (girlgotfangs)Thu, 15 Aug 2019 05:32:10 +0000 Re: Mobster AUhttps://bmooneyandfangsrp.runboard.com/p5745,from=rss#post5745https://bmooneyandfangsrp.runboard.com/p5745,from=rss#post5745"I can't say I am, but I don't mind vegan food." Liam said, looking around the kitchen in awe. "This is the biggest kitchen I've ever seen." ///timeskip\ In the night while Liam was alone, he processed all that had happened and panicked at the thought of them forcing what ever magic block kept his back, so he snuck as quiet as he could through the house. He realized he couldn't get far on foot, and spent a few long moments weighing the pros and cons of stealing a car; he ended up liking his chances with a car than without. He hoped no one heard him start the car, but didn't stick around to find out. He had to reorient himself on his location, but as soon as he figured out where he was he made his way towards his family's cabin that was hidden away in the woods of a nearby mountain. The drive felt like it went on forever, but once he made it to the cabin, he went straight in and locked himself inside, shaking and reeling over everything he had gone through in the course of a day.nondisclosed_email@example.com (NoraMooney)Thu, 15 Aug 2019 05:24:04 +0000 Re: Mobster AUhttps://bmooneyandfangsrp.runboard.com/p5744,from=rss#post5744https://bmooneyandfangsrp.runboard.com/p5744,from=rss#post5744"Let's hope its useful magic. Just because its strong doesn't mean that it'll actually do anything worthwhile," Caden said, tugging Miguel off of the chair and grabbing Liam to keep walking them through the house and past an archway into a large and modern kitchen. "Now! What're we having for lunch?" He said, opening cabinets and searching through the fridge. "You don't happen to be vegan, do you, Liam? I personally don't eat meat.

Its really not that hard. Its decent magic, but it won't hold up to anyone stronger than a half-fae. The problem is breaking the block without causing you harm," Caden explained. "Depending on how strong the spell itself is, it might be painful for us to break it suddenly. It would likely be better for you to break the block yourself, which takes a bit longer, and a lot more focus on your part."nondisclosed_email@example.com (girlgotfangs)Wed, 14 Aug 2019 21:22:32 +0000 Re: Mobster AUhttps://bmooneyandfangsrp.runboard.com/p5741,from=rss#post5741https://bmooneyandfangsrp.runboard.com/p5741,from=rss#post5741Liam sighed and finally sat down, mulling over everything that had happened to him so far. "What am I even going to be doing for you guys? All I know about magic was from my history of magic class I took in school, I don't even know what kind of magic I have let alone how you guys will unblock it." He said, then paused and looked at Caden.

But I'm sure one of use could escort you back later," Caden said. "Miguel could probably do it." "Why does everyone think I'm a babysitter?" Miguel complained, draped across the chair dramatically.

Caden asked. "Lazarus used to be a war chief on an island back when dragons roamed the lands, leading his people through peace and prosperity. I was his second-in-command.

"T-ten thousand?" He squeaked, clearing his throat before shaking his head. "You're right, I shouldn't think too much about that."

"I'll show you to my room, then. Gods know Lazarus is going to be at least an hour." "Roughly ten--no, nine?--no, nine and a half? Anyway, a good ten-ish thousand years old. Lazarus is about a month older than me, though, if that counts at all in the grand scheme of things," Caden explained, frowning a bit as he thought it over. "I'm a Leo, he's a Libra."

"Well, I've got time now." She said, her smirk turning to a more honest smile. "Who knows how long Laz will keep me waiting, and I don't care if you have to listen in while I talk to him anyways." Liam stared at Caden in surprise. "You both are demons? I was thinking you're human, o-or at least something like that." He said, blushing as he realized that might sound worse than he meant it.
