Dalton prepares himself for another journey to the metaplanes. He locks up the World Tree, making sure the security system is activated, that being a spirit set to guard the place. Then he heads upstairs to his lodge and settles down on the cot. He takes a moment to step out of his body and stand waiting, before turning in place and stepping forward into the metaplanes.

Pyre on the other hand has decided to stay at home this time through. She's locked up her apartment and has chosen to meditate inside her Hermetic Circle. She's not willing to take any chances of anyone messing with her while she's away. Once in her meditative state she steps sideways into the planes as well. Seaking Dalton out, and of course coming right to him.

The threshold is almost always dark, maybe its the fear of the unknown that the metaplanes holds, but for whatever reason the threshold is almost always a dark empty place. After a moment, the dweller appears, this time as a small child. He smiles at you both "Ahh, so good of you to come again. I hope you've gotton past your issues on killing this child, your ignorance and overconfidence is what did it, and still you come here, with that same ignorance and overconfidence. What do you expect to achieve?"

Dalton smiles at Pyre as she arrives, then turns to face the dweller as he makes his approach. "I have learned my lesson, that magic has no rules, that anything can happen, and I am prepared for the next situation like that. I come here seeking knowledge, for only with more knowledge can I prevent further deaths."

«Plot» Dalton says, "Dalton and Pyre each get 1 bonus KP for the quest."

Pyre smiles back and turns to face the Dweller, "Every time I come here you seek to bring up the past, that past that I've accepted and moved onward from. You'll get nothing from me but admitance that I still have much growth ahead of me."

The dweller chuckles and waves a hand "So be it." Then he vanishes. Ahead of you you see a light, as you begin walking it seems to take forever to reach the light, but eventually you come into a room, it looks like the downstairs of the World Tree magic shop. Across the room you see yourselves, both of you sitting and talking to each other behind the counter. As you arrive they turn to face you, rising up "What the frag is this?" Dalton exclaims, Pyre on the other hand, well, she just starts throwing fireballs at you two.

Dalton the real one, steps in front of the real Pyre and holds up his hands, shielding you both with his spell defense. The fireball harmlessly fizzels out before hitting you both.

The real Pyre smirks and decides to fight fire with fire, "You know nothing or Flame" she says returning the blast with one of her own.

The Fake Dalton, seems to take his cue from the real one, and raises a hand to shield them from the flames, the spell dissapating like the other, then he turns to his Pyre and starts pushing her towards the stairs "Get up now!" he shouts, covering the two's escape.

There was something odd about this Dalton and Pyre, they were both wearing some sort of ganger colors. Jackets, bandannas, all the trappings of a real gang member. Of course, your not entirely sure if you've seen those colors before.

Dalton frowns slightly as he watches his twin dissappear "Well, thats different, since when did I join the Crimson Smokes, I really dislike the Crimson Smokes."

Pyre folds her arms and sighs, "I sure as hell know I wouldn't have, they messed with me and the gang I grew up with a lot. I'd rather choke on oil.." she adds. "This is definatly one of the wierdest Quests we've been on yet.."

Out of the cieling a turret pops down, a machine gun visible from it, the gun opens fire before you can even move and Dalton is riddled with bullets, penetrating his armor and knocking him backwards onto the ground, bleeding heavily from the wounds.

Dalton lays on the ground, gasping for breath and reaching a hand up to touch the blood oozing from his wounds, his face registers his shock, and he tries to speak, but can only utter gasps for breath.

Pyre gasps and runs to Dalton, dropping to her knee's and trying to heal him but as it doesn't work she starts loosing controll and starts to cry uncontrolably. "Dalton! Dalton! No! Stay with me! I'll fix it! I promise!" she yells as she turns to look towards the Turret and glares at it, the signs of her anger aparent as she begings to glow. She'll manabolt the turret that just shot him if she can.

The Fake Dalton steps down the stair, holding a shotgun in his hand "Who are you and what do you want here! I won't let you heal him until you answer my questions."

«Auto-Judge[]» Pyre (#7348) rolls Etiquette + Astral Pool: 1 - 3 (successes) vs TN 5 for "Should need one more, KP8/9":

Pyre turns to look at Dalton, then back to the fake one glaring. "Just let us leave, we didn't mean any harm, you attacked us first!" she snaps at the man.

The Fake Dalton shakes his head "You came into my shop, looking like me and Pyre, and you expect me to think your not up to something? Go ahead and heal him, but remember, that turret will shoot on my command."

«Auto-Judge[]» Dalton (#8435) rolls 2 (to Frostlog) for "Next Place from Charisma":

Pyre turns and focuses all her energy into healing Dalton, as she does the tear ridden girl talks in a raspy broken voice. "We don't look like you, we are you!" she says with out looking at the man. "We didn't come her intentionally, we were forced here."

Dalton gasps for breath once the wounds start to close up. He shakes his head a bit and just lies on the floor, he smiles up at Pyre "Its alright, I'm feeling fine now…" he lays his head back, then he speaks up "Just let us leave, and you will never see us again." he yells at the Fake Dalton.

The Fake Dalton still holds his shotgun at the ready. "Alright, theres the door, use it, but if I ever see you two again, I won't hesistate to kill you both."

Pyre glares at him, it's obvious that hurting Dalton like that has trigged that part of her that she still has trouble controlling. That pure unbridled rage, and the desire to destroy and kill what tried to hurt the real dalton. It's blatantly obvious to the real one, who knows about the fake one but for the time being she forces herself to stay quiet as she stands up and holds a hand to help the Real Dalton up.

Dalton stands up slowly, nodding to Pyre "Lets just get out of here now.." he limps a bit as he starts for the door, trying to keep Pyre from lashing out in rage.

It's helping, because she's focused on Dalton now helping him and guideing him to the doorway.

As you step outside, its the warrens like you know it. Though the pool hall down the street reads Smokes Delight. Also, well, the parking lot of the World Tree is full of Crimson Smoke gangers who turn to look at you, the majority of them looking at Pyre.

"Hey Baby" one of them calls out. "Is it my turn now? You finished with Big D?" he approaches Pyre, leering at her and reaching out to grab her arm.

Pyre jerks her arm away, still holding onto the Real Dalton and learning at the man that approached her. It's obvious that she's not gona hold on for much longer, her teeth grit and Dalton can allmost fill it. That single word, over and over in Pyre's head. Her eyes allmost a blaze with it, /Kill, Kill, Kill, Kill/ her thoughts run onward on a single path.

Dalton looks around at the crowd, frowning slightly, and then just sighing. "Get em." he says, and then the black cloak and hood of his totem cover him, and he raises a hand, throwing out a stunball into the largest crowd of gangers.

A large group of gangers, just suddenly falls to the ground as if thier strings were cut.

Dalton's words of "get em" are exactly what Pyre needs, and she lashes out at a group of gangers in pure rage. Her body is surrounded in blue flame and she screams loudly launching a fireball towards a group of Gangers. It explodes with the force of a few tons of Dynamite, people are flung, people are burnt, burning, dieing. Pyre drops to her knees, beeds of sweet dropping on the concreate. She put a lot into that and it shows.
«Game» Backup to offline storage commencing. Game may freeze for a bit…

Dalton stands up and starts stunbolting the remaining gangers, moving with his magically enhanced speed. After a few moments, none are left standing. He turns and holds a hand out to Pyre "Lets get out of here before anything else happens."

Pyre grabs ahold of Dalton's hand with hers, it's shakey, very warm and clamy. Her whole body is shaking and she's dripping sweat.

Before you manage to get away you hear a voice from the rooftops "Hey! You attacked my gang!" And with that the Fake Pyre sends down a fire Elemental to attack you both.

Dalton turns, and sighs "Will this never end?" he remarks, and raises a hand to start to try to banish the spirit.

Pyre seems to have something left in her, as she helps Dalton finish off the Elemental, but it's obvious she's tiring out rarther quickly.

Dalton shakes his head "Thats it, we are out of here." he begins to cast again, casting a Levitate Spell on himself and then Pyre. Once thats done, he takes off the ground and looks around "Ok, lets just go….well…hell, I dont know where to go, you got any ideas?"

Pyre shakes her head, "I..no, no idea" she replies. "This one feels differnt Dalton, I want to get back to the real world I don't like this"

Dalton nods "Alright, lets head to Ostara, its quiet, out of the way, we shouldnt have any trouble there, and we can figure out what to do next." He starts flying off with both of you towards the park. As you fly, the scenery below you changes after a time and you enter the forrested area. He finds a spot to land you two, and as you hit the ground you find a sense of calm overcoming you. After a few moments, you just feel too relaxed to even move. It just feels right.

Pyre falls asleep soundly, and is snaped back into her body. She looks around for a moment and sighs, looks like it worked as she has some insight into the workings of the spell she wanted.

Dalton seems to relax and looks around "I'm….I'm…tired…" he says, and then settles down on the grassy ground, and closes his eyes, falling asleep. As he closes his eyes, he opens them in the real world, with some more knowledge than when he left.
