"Yeah, I saw the thing at the vampire house," she comments. "Impressive, but dangerous."

Posted: **Fri Mar 02, 2018 3:24 pm**

"It did it's job... with only a small amount of rampaging," Sean said before sipping his drink. "Was more impressed seeing you and the other stand toe-to-toe with vampires. I generally have to back up rather quickly when it comes to that."

Posted: **Fri Mar 02, 2018 3:53 pm**

"I'm hardier than the average human and I had command of enough of my magic to defend myself, but the others were pretty impressive."

Posted: **Fri Mar 02, 2018 3:58 pm**

"Well, one is the Morrigan," Sean smiled. "Hardly be fitting for a goddess to not be impressive, but then again I haven't met many."

Posted: **Fri Mar 02, 2018 3:59 pm**

"She certainly lives up to her reputation in some ways," Gemma says ambiguously.

Posted: **Fri Mar 02, 2018 4:08 pm**

"Oh?" Sean asked.

Posted: **Fri Mar 02, 2018 4:21 pm**

"She has a certain... affinity for war. This one's a bit more kind-hearted than I would have imagined, but obviously even that has its limits."

Posted: **Fri Mar 02, 2018 4:50 pm**

"Being a mutant and a telepath might have something to do with that," Sean mused.

Posted: **Fri Mar 02, 2018 4:53 pm**

"Whatever other labels she has, she's still the Morrigan, at least in my estimation. She's the Battle-Crow and the one I'll see when I breathe my last after falling in battle. She's nothing to be afraid of, unless you plan on crossing her."

Posted: **Fri Mar 02, 2018 6:12 pm**

"I do hope you plan to share." Vivienne spoke as she carefully stepped around the slightly crooked door and into the XUB.

Posted: **Fri Mar 02, 2018 7:34 pm**

Sean pulled a third glass out from behind the bar and filled it for Vivienne.

"If you believe the stories mages are often crossing people," Sean said before looking at Vivienne. "All are welcome to share in the spoils of course."

Posted: **Fri Mar 02, 2018 11:01 pm**

"We've been discussing the insufficiency of mages and the glory of the Morrigan..." Gemma says, eyeing her own glass, "And how good of a hobby drinking is."

Posted: **Sat Mar 03, 2018 1:17 am**

"Ah, I see. All very fascinating topics." She reached over to the bottle once Sean had filled her glass. She gave the contents a quick glance before picking up her glass.

"To the spoils for the victors."

Posted: **Sat Mar 03, 2018 8:45 pm**

"Cheers," Sean smiled raising his glass before finishing it off and filling his glass again. The soreness and pain from the simulation/battle was now quite easy to ignore. "More the folly than the insufficiency, but suppose they aren't so different. Ah, and some about Fae politics."

Posted: **Sat Mar 03, 2018 9:00 pm**

"A throny topic. I have read some of the tales. The more recent works are the least accurate. Your short lives make for short memories regardless for your propensity for writing everything down."

Posted: **Sat Mar 03, 2018 9:02 pm**

"Long memories are not necessarily any better, looking at the same topic," Gemma says, taking another sip of her drink.

Posted: **Sun Mar 04, 2018 12:50 am**

"True, but having the reason for caution forgotten is still very dangerous." She downs her drink.

Posted: **Sun Mar 04, 2018 1:11 am**

Sean gestures with the bottle towards Vivienne seeing if she wants another glass.

"Magic is very rare, so there aren't many practitioners around to advise caution," Sean said, "Just old books and feelings."

Posted: **Sun Mar 04, 2018 3:16 am**

"Then consider yourself advised. The old words are true, there is always a price." She let Sean fill her glass.

Posted: **Sun Mar 04, 2018 1:39 pm**

"And the price isn't always properly advertised. Loopholes and fine print abound."

Posted: **Sun Mar 04, 2018 11:43 pm**

"Only not physically and never explained," Sean mused before sipping his drink. "Feels like we're all fumbling around in the dark without a torch."

Posted: **Tue Mar 06, 2018 2:36 pm**

"Shining light on things is always a risk. Sometimes they melt away into nothingness, sometimes the light reveals things that are better off remaining hidden. It's one of the reasons you mages are so problematic, shining light on everything you possibly can without regard."

Posted: **Wed Mar 07, 2018 3:27 pm**

"No time for caution or patience when your life is measured in decades, or sometimes a century or two, rather than several millenia," Sean said sipping his drink. "Means we mortals tend to think in the short-term. Trying to do as much as we can."

Posted: **Thu Mar 08, 2018 2:15 am**

"Perhaps, yet you no longer have that excuse." She finished her drink and stood to look over the other bottles and chooses something clear with apples on the label.

Posted: **Thu Mar 08, 2018 2:54 am**

"The excuse of mortality?" Sean asked with a slight smile as he grabbed a fresh bottle of whiskey off the shelves behind the bar.

Posted: **Thu Mar 08, 2018 3:18 am**

"Wise magic users have been known to out live non users, but no, ignorance. Knowledge is power, but be careful where you shine your light."

Posted: **Thu Mar 08, 2018 3:43 pm**

"Once you've learned something, it takes exceptional circumstances to unlearn it."

Posted: **Thu Mar 08, 2018 5:50 pm**

"'I'm not sure how I feel about the idea of knowledge being forbidden," Sean said pouring himself another drink. "Sounds like something from when the Catholics maintained the Index Librorum Prohibitorum."

Posted: **Thu Mar 08, 2018 7:26 pm**

"Not forbidden, but humans have such a bad habit of doing a thing simply because they can, regardless of consequence, that certain things must me kept out of reach until such a time as a seeker has proven themselves trustworthy." Vivienne filled her glass as well.

Posted: **Thu Mar 08, 2018 7:40 pm**

"Making something forbidden gives it a certain irresistible allure," Sean said, "And some mages argued how making something forbidden is just a means of shackling us."

Posted: **Thu Mar 08, 2018 7:43 pm**

Gemma studies her glass for a moment, "Do you believe in the soul, magus?"

Posted: **Thu Mar 08, 2018 8:00 pm**

"I've seen too much to believe otherwise," Sean said before sipping his drink.

Posted: **Thu Mar 08, 2018 8:04 pm**

"Some of these things, some knowledge, can cost you that soul. And it's not one of those things you easily get back. And you may not even realize you're giving it away. That's how dangerous some knowledge is."

Posted: **Thu Mar 08, 2018 8:26 pm**

"The soul, the mind, the first born son for the next five generations...the sun." She sipped her drink.

Posted: **Thu Mar 08, 2018 9:32 pm**

Sean considered his drink for a moment.

"It will be interesting to learn how high the fees have gotten since I've been using magic since I could walk and reading old tomes since I was able to get them," Sean said before sipping his drink. "But... the sun? Either quite the spell or poor bargaining on the part of that magus."

Posted: **Fri Mar 09, 2018 1:39 am**

"That is what the vampires were attempting to do with Wanda. The freedom they offered her, the price was the sun."

Posted: **Fri Mar 09, 2018 1:29 pm**

"Not a particularly good bargain," Sean said, "No doubt quite a bit of coercion was involved though given her wicked witch of the west impersonation."

Posted: **Fri Mar 09, 2018 3:32 pm**

"Powers of the mind are not uncommon among vampires. I wouldn't be surprised to find they had applied some of those to her."

Posted: **Fri Mar 09, 2018 8:20 pm**

"They also had her lover, turned her and used her to draw Wanda in." The liquid in Vivienne's glass swirled.

Posted: **Fri Mar 09, 2018 10:16 pm**

"Vampires and doomsdays. Wanda is of great interest to the world then, aye?" Sean asked genuinely curious.
