There she goes...
Am I a horrible person? Or was this something that had to be done?
"Oh, I dunno, 'dark mistress'? I don't think I'm appropriately dressed for that." Eta mumbled.
She continued in a louder tone, although still a bit lacking in emotion.
"Sorry, where are my manners. Ivette, Clive. Clive, Ivette. Clive is the guy I was talking to you about. When we met near the memorial."
Should I had healed her regardless? Should I had killed her right here and right now?
"Anyway, I don't know about that, Clive. She disappeared into the night while cursing me. That's recurring villain material. And every story needs a villain. Except if I am the villain. Maybe I need to not be protected so that I can be killed."
Eta hid her face in her palm as she tried to get her thoughts in order.
"I'm sorry. I'm not thinking straight. I feel like I was just got hit on the head with a hammer. Too many things to think about."
She sighed.
"Just make sure my friends are protected. Ivette, Lois, all of them. If she survives and decides to seek revenge, I want her to go after me. Not them. I'll... I'll figure it out myself when the time comes. Can you do that? And what would you want in exchange? How big a favour are we talking about?"

[Harry Baldman]

Fuck all that.

"Not working, Cal.  Sup?"

"I dunno. Try doing hops in order, maybe? Detour through the Moon, I mean."

"Oh. Hello, Clive," she says quietly.

"It's lovely to meet you, Ivette," Clive says sweetly, leaning toward her in a mixture of creeping and bowing. Ivette shivers, and Clive chuckles.

"Anyway, I don't know about that, Clive. She disappeared into the night while cursing me. That's recurring villain material. And every story needs a villain. Except if I am the villain. Maybe I need to not be protected so that I can be killed."

"Not a real big favor. Maybe something like delivering a message to the big cheese somewhere down the line, that sort of thing. Nothing overly dangerous, considering I might not need to do anything at all, you know? Anywho, can I get a list of people I need to keep tabs on, who they are and where can I find them?"

[The Froggy Ninja]

Disassemble the spell in my mind to see it's inner workings.

[Parisbre56]

"I don't think she might target anyone beyond Ivette and Lois. I mean, sure, she could cause harm to others, but I bet even someone with your power is probably unable to protect the whole world. I don't see any reason for her to target John and his friend, but if the price wouldn't be much higher then I would like to protect those too.

Lois should be at the hospital, I'll go pick her up later. Ivette is right here, I don't know if there is anything she is willing to share with you. I'll leave it up to her. As for John, I don't know much about him, but if Menkau knows anything and wants to share..."

Is it sad that I know so little about the people I am trying to protect?

[Toaster]

"Kaaay..."

Detour through the Moon?

[Pancaek]

John eats some breakfast. He couldn't remember the last time he had breakfast, let alone a relatively healthy one like this.

"Nah, it's cool. You know, that whole leyline thing is pretty bollocks. I don't really feel like going back to that manhole and trying to get to it again. What about you, what do you want to do James?"

"Yeah, I can sort of get a read on all of them from you. So you've got a deal there. Protection for all of them from Joanie in return for a favor later. Done. So, is that all? I've got stuff to do, ya know?" Clive says, making a gesture similar to checking his watch, only to be disappointed to find none on. His face momentarily turns sour, and the skin of his wrist bubbles a bit, a few folds of it clumping together and producing a set of tendrils arranged similarly to a less-than-classy timepiece. He smiles and nods his head appreciatively, pointing at it with his hand, showing it to both you and Ivette, and also Menkau to a degree.

"Doesn't that hurt?" Ivette asks.

"That only makes it cooler!" Clive says.

"Nah, it's cool. You know, that whole leyline thing is pretty bollocks. I don't really feel like going back to that manhole and trying to get to it again. What about you, what do you want to do James?"

"I'd like to... go for a walk, maybe. To the woods... in the city... just anywhere, I guess."

He tilts his head as he looks at the ceiling thoughtfully.

"And, uh... no offense or anything, but I'd like to go... alone, okay?"

[Pancaek]

John uses the piece of toast he's eating to point at James

"Right, so, I've got no problem with that. Personally. But you realize I kind of promised I'd keep you safe right? And I made that promise to a really, really powerful being. So I'd appreciate it if you could elaborate just a little bit on where you're going. Because if you decide to dissapear on me, we'll both be in big trouble."

John sighs and puts down his toast.

"What I'm trying to say, James, is that I'm worried. About you, mostly. I just want to make sure that you won't go and do something stupid. You've been to some hard shit lately. Believe me, I know, I lost most of my memories when I first got into this magical bullshit. So just....come back safe, okay? You're one of the two only friends I've got left, and I'm tired of losing friends."

[Parisbre56]

"Just one more thing. Got any shoes?"

[Harry Baldman]

"Well, yeah. I am going to come back. It's just that... I kind of like being alone a lot of the time, you know? Honestly, I'm, well, more worried about what you'll do while I'm gone."

"Just one more thing. Got any shoes?"

"I might know a guy. Wh-" he begins, looking reflexively at your feet. "Oh, I see. You want them to do anything fancy, or just look and maybe feel good?"

[Parisbre56]

"At this point, I wouldn't mind if they were flip-flops. Just something to keep my feet protected until I get to this leyline and then back to my... place. But if you want to give me anything fancier, be my guest. As long as they don't explode or do anything harmful to me or others."

[Pancaek]

John bites off another piece of toast and munches it for a bit

"Nah man, don't worry about me. The worst that I'll do is drink myself half to death. I'm probably just going to stay home today, the last couple of days have been way too hectic for my tastes.

How long do you reckon that you'll be gone? If you're coming back around noon, would you mind picking up something to eat on your way back?"

"Okay. Be right back, then," Clive says and disappears in a puff of smoke.

"So, are we going to look for the leyline now?"

John bites off another piece of toast and munches it for a bit

"I dunno. Maybe an hour, maybe three? I'll be back a bit after noon, probably."

"All right then, if you don't have cash on you take some of mine and pick up something to eat on your way back, would you? I'm just going to stay home and have a day off from the magical bullshit. I'll keep me cell nearby, if you need to call for some reason. Have fun."

Lend him some money if he doesn't have any on him. Then crash on the couch and watch some tv. Flip to the news channel first to see if there's anything interesting on, otherwise go to the discovery channel/national geographic
