WESSEX
out of the night that covers me
Caution prevails.
She leads the two of them to the woodlands of the Outskirts, to an abandoned farmstead too near to what was the old Barrier. It’s overgrown, decrepit. Eerie, almost, in the moonlight. The Ascended woman leads them to the middle of the overgrowth and pushes away the shrubbery and vines to reveal a door in the stone foundation of the building. Inside she’s lit two lanterns, enough for them to see by. The basement is dark. Cold. No place for a normal human, but for an Ascended’s safe house - not too shabby. Here, there are several shovels, a large pile of rocks, and some other odds and ends - a spool of super thin, nearly invisible wire, an old table, and a heavy net. All the tools needed to create an alarm and a coffin-type hideaway. Hey. Not everyone can have fancy houses. -------------- This is a PQ to set up a secret safe house for Wessex! Last thing needed to level and I hope to keep it quick, so please join only if you can do that and aren’t in danger of revealing it’s location. Feel free to PP Wessex finding you and asking you to help/leading you here. 1. Deimos 2. black as the pit from pole to pole i thank whatever gods may be for my unconquerable soul |
Personal Quest better safe than sorry

DEIMOS They believe nothing can reach us And pull us out of the boundless gloom Nowadays, he didn’t begrudge anyone who wanted to hide, to remain invisible, unseen, unheard, away from the prying void slinking in amidst their daily lives. He missed the notion of not having any commanding force at all, breathing down their necks, demanding their allegiance; besides a few mobs and riots, or an occasional LongNight disaster, they’d managed to sort themselves out within reason. The present was like walking on eggshells, waiting for the next to crack, to split apart, to become demolished at the seams. The uncertainty, the apprehension, was a waiting, beckoning beacon, begging for someone to do something. So Wessex wanted a safe house. His eyes ghosted over the current state: doors amidst shrubbery, hidden by nature threatening to take its wares back, foundations remaining standing and upright, lanterns guiding their sight into the basement. She’d already brought them several tools, which was fine – and he was intrigued by some snare set-up – and likely most things she required he could make from his own incantations anyway. He lifted his stare to her, warrior to warrior, and nodded. “Where do we start?” They're wrong the Bastion

what have i become?my sweetest friend—everyone know goes away in the end Remi assumes that his help has been requested because of his magic. Having him around can make some tasks easier, though rather than being offended at what might be perceived simply as being used, the alchemist is quick to agree. He didn't ask for his abilities after all and still does not feel deserving of them. Helping others is like a temporary respite from the weight that he feels crushing his chest, when he thinks of how fortunate he is. At least in some respects. "I cannot see—" The alchemist admits. "—not well at least, and definitely not in the dark or where I am not familiar." He adds. In truth he only half-recognizes Wessex as it is. Not knowing the woman well, she is only scarcely more than a vaguely silvery outline in a world that is otherwise black and grey. If she wants his help, she will have to lead him. "Deimos." Remi whispers a greeting to the larger man. Though they are seemingly quite alone here, the alchemist feels the need for silence and secrecy all around, and tries to oblige. if i could start again, a million miles away, i would keep myself. i would find a way

what have i become?my sweetest friend—everyone know goes away in the end The alchemist is pleasantly surprised by Wessex' willingness to guide him with her voice and her body. Thus far his interactions with the ascended have been mostly perfunctory or surrounding fairly intense topics, so his gauge of her as been rather limited. Given that it is of course in her best interest to help Remi out as much as possible so that he might be the most effective tool for her, perhaps her willingness is not so surprising, but Remi finds himself deeply appreciative just the same. Holding on to her, Remi squints into the darkness of the room. There is fairly little that he is able to make out, but seeing isn't really necessary when it comes to moving the earth. Through a mixture of earth magic and telekinesis, Remi is easily able to create the space in the ground that Wessex has asked of him. "And the remaining earth? I could fashion it into ... chairs or so, I suppose. Or simply move it outside and spread it around so that it does not look obvious." Though she hasn't said as much, a house in the woods without a deep hole in the ground seems like the sort of thing that is meant to be kept quiet. if i could start again, a million miles away, i would keep myself. i would find a way

DEIMOS They believe nothing can reach us And pull us out of the boundless gloom One of Deimos’ many abilities, not concerning efforts in mayhem, menace, and oblivion, was silence. He wasn’t one to spew out discourse at random intervals. He wasn’t one to fill the room with noise. He wasn’t one to even want to expel and exert constant diatribes. But it also enabled him to be a keeper of secrets, remarkable things contorted and coiled in the back of his mind, not revealed, not displayed, not released for the world to know. The shielding house, its construction, its location, and its traps were safe with him. Remi was a welcome surprise, and he bestowed a quiet nod to the man, before adhering to Wessex’s tasks. Inveigling a trip wire was amusing to him, and he took the object with a dastardly wake, nodding his confirmation of the order to Wessex, turning his head before a visible smirk managed to finagle its way to his features. It’d been a long time since he’d set up a snare, figuratively or literally, and he strode along the outskirts of the house, setting up a perimeter some distance away. It would have to be enough to alarm someone that another was coming, providing them an opportunity to get away, or defend themselves. His gaze snapped back and forth from the house to the grounds surrounding it, maneuvering slowly, carefully, quietly in the dark. All along his movements and motions, he ran the wire across ferns and brush, shrubs and trees, difficult to see unless one was truly looking for it. Once he’d finished it around the sanctum, he dragged the remnants of the line over to the main threshold again, plucking the remains into the cracked stones. They're wrong the Wraith

DEIMOS They believe nothing can reach us And pull us out of the boundless gloom His eyes followed the netting nuances, the things left unsaid. He presumed it was another trap, another snare, another way to irritate an adversary closing it. It reminded him of hunting, of setting out ruses and schemes for the wildlife to investigate, be caught and tethered, food for the future. Whether or not anyone stumbled upon this place, and what for - hidden into the depths, sheltered from prying eyes by the mere distance and fortitude of existing brush and timber. But that was what made it a sublime outing – to stretch out into the furtive nature, to exist beneath the laws’ noses; for whomever, in their cluster and circle of friends, comrades, and allies. He followed her directions, taking the thin wire and tying it around the designated hook, tightening and tightening, pulling and tugging on the net a few times in order to ensure it maintained its space, its place. The reticent depths of the Reaper’s stare roamed back to Wessex, giving her an affirmative nod, ready for her to put the rocks in their proper setting. They're wrong the Bastion

what have i become?my sweetest friend—everyone know goes away in the end The alchemist nods. Following orders comes second-nature to him, and after all of the chaos and decisions surrounding Zariah's ascension, selfishly, Remi is happy to simply do as he is told. Climbing out of the hole in the ground, Remi lets Wessex lead him back to the door. Feeling for the earth without needing to see it, the alchemist easily removes what he has excavated. Half is indeed spread innocuously back around the house, while the remaining half is saved for later. Returning, he cocks his head hearing the strange sound of claws against wood. He bristles slightly, nostrils flared as gold encroaches into his sea-glass stare. Though the lion cannot see much better than the man, his predatory nature feels better to be forward in the wake of destruction. "Alright—" Remi agrees, using his magic to easily settle the door into place. Moving some of the earth to ensure a tight fit, he cocks his head. "I can...change the structure of this, if you need. Add things, remove them.." if i could start again, a million miles away, i would keep myself. i would find a way

what have i become?my sweetest friend—everyone know goes away in the end "I cannot make it sound different, but I can definitely disguise it, if.." Yes. He couldn't see. Luckily, the only barrier to that was how good Wessex was at describing things. And so, listening carefully, Remi closed his eyes and imbued into the wood all that she described. The texture changed to resemble the floor boards, adding knots and inconsistencies as she described them so that it would look as old and worn as the rest. if i could start again, a million miles away, i would keep myself. i would find a way

DEIMOS They believe nothing can reach us And pull us out of the boundless gloom He listened, working quietly, curious about Remi’s efforts – disguising doors, pretenses and charades, everything a guessing game for some unsuspecting individual until it was too late. His machinations meandered around the world of masquerades and duplicities, values he’d contorted within: but his were more of the undermining schemes, the machinations, the calculations in their meticulous orchestrations. These could be appreciated as well though – days of sound-proof tents and furtive caverns, temples designed to hide – no longer in the mountains, in the summits, but some of the gestures were still the same, alive and well in other human beings. The laws of deceit and deception always managed to survive. While Wessex contemplated Remi’s next movements, she administered the Reaper’s in silence – he followed through on the notion, switching places, holding it firm, in place, while she tied wire along it. When she completed her portion, he let go, waiting to see if worked, held itself, waiting for a bombardment to signal its alarm. They're wrong the Wraith

what have i become?my sweetest friend—everyone know goes away in the end The alchemist smiled wryly. "I will keep that in mind. I am working on...an invisibility cloak, I suppose you would call it. It seems like something out of a fairy tale, but apparently those are the measures we find ourselves needing." he said with a slight shake of his head and rueful smile. Happily accepting Wessex's help back through the trees, Remi did his best to remember the way. Unfortunately, a good sense of direction was not a skill that the alchemist possessed, and with his vision the way it was, the secret-base would likely remain that way. At least if that was the case though, Zariah would never be able to pry that information away from him. if i could start again, a million miles away, i would keep myself. i would find a way
