Jax01/Nat01 - Cemetary Polka

[OOC: Actually things have calmed down enough for him, that he can come back.]

[OOC Would it be possible to use logrus sight here?]

[OOC: It would be possible but might be distorted with so much Pattern about. The Logrus has worked in Paris in the past.]

Using Logrus Sight Jaxiam will begin searching the crowd for anything watching them or out of the ordinary.

Logrus be easier to access is something to investigate later. Using a Logrus tendril I try to brush the psyche of the mysterious lady, as I begin to follow her.

The crowd parts as you pass. Natalia sees an out-of-place mechanical fortune teller booth in the store, it's mannequin holding up a fan of tarot cards all appearing hazy and distorted except the Eight of Cups which is in colour, unlike the rest of the booth.




The woman heads out the 'fire escape' door just as Jaxiam's Logrus tendril touches her. They both jump at the shock of contact. The door slams shut and the sound of her falling down the stairs is heard in the otherwise silent store. Jaxiam is thrown back a few yards and crashes through a display of camping gear and emergency preparedness kits. The sign of the Logrus flairs then fades from his sight.

Natalia:

Beyond the door Natalia sees a turning stairway heading down and up. One flight below the woman gets up, her face still covered in shadows, and runs down the stirs. A smear of blood marks the wall where she hit it, the blood bright red on the black and white brickwork it seems to be etching away at this moonlight-formed world.

The woman turns to look up at Natalia.

"Stay in the store. Have a safe night on the town."

Thre is a sudden high pitched barking from outside the building sounding like the call of a pack of giant dogs.

Jaxiam:

While digging himself out of a pile of canvas knapsacks he hears the loud baying of the dreaded Chaos Pack, a near-mythical group of canine formed demons said to roam the darkest regions of Shadow.
