[PrivateNomad]

"Of course they will. After all, surely they care about the lives of others."

[Twinwolf]

"Fair point, I'll grant you that. But a couple questions: How exactly would they find us? You going to tell them you have us hostage soon or just wait till they notice we're gone? And why do you think they would come for us, when there are crimes- some greater than kidnapping- going on almost all the time that they don't stop? Because they kind of know us? And what's your grudge? Why destroy them?

Apologies for the questions, but I want to know just what kind of situation I'm in."

[PrivateNomad]

"Of course I will tell them. And they will come. As for why... I hate several of them with a burning passion. My brother, the robot... they must die."

[Sanure]

"And in case they don't come to save you, I step in. They absolutely despise me. They will take any chance they can to fight me. To kill me, if they had a chance to. It's funny really, they still can't tell when I play them." Osmodius gives a very hearty laugh.

[PrivateNomad]

The Bewitcher chuckles.
"Hilarious. Osmodius, go ahead and tie them up. Also, do you know where Araceli went off to?"

[Twinwolf]

"Don't see the point in tying us up. We can break out of most bindings relatively easy, and you said yourself running is pointless and will just get us killed."

[PrivateNomad]

"You think we actually use normal rope? You wound me."

[Twinwolf]

"Didn't say you would. Just said that if we're on the team, chances are most bindings wouldn't work. Based on the fact you said that, however, you probably have something stronger than most bindings."

[Sanure]

A rather metallic looking cable appears in Osmodius' hand, "Why use rope when impervium cable works much better, Hampers magic, and doesn't chaff. My genius knows no bounds!" Osmodius laughs and applies the impervium cables to the wrists of Catherine and Karis rather quickly, binding their arms together.

[Twinwolf]

"Never heard of it before, but it sounds effective. You've thought this out. Why us, specifically though? I know for a fact that we aren't the only ones who went out today."

[Sanure]

"Of course you haven't heard of it. I'm it's inventor and producer. I make many things."

[USEC_OFFICER]

"Finish off the remaining people, Kaiser! I'll get Dalia out of here!"
Isaac goes for Dalia, aiming to take her out of here, probably using some magic to lift her into the Nomad or something.

Isaac uses a projection to carry Dalia's unconscious body up to the Nomad, leaving Kaiser to finish off the remaining people. With no tentacles or people to stop him he makes short work of it. After the last person dies Kaiser rummages through the corpse of Michelson for anything interesting, coming away with a bundle of papers and the knife used for the ritual. It has several interesting runes along the side and is probably somewhat magical. As the Nomad flies away from the scene of the crime, the tentacles of the Parasite Source stop their constant pushing. Without anyone to power it, the magic circle quickly decays from the mana-sucking tentacles. As the portal collapses the parasite reluctantly pulls its limbs back to whatever hole it was hiding it, leaving its lesser brethren free to reclaim the space it left.

Isaac and Kaiser have more important things to think about, however. Dalia's wound is surprisingly shallow, the cut in her stomach being quite shallow. A couple of stitches by a competent surgeon should be all she needs to recover. Assuming that she lives that long, for she doesn't seem to be breathing and her pulse is non-existent. Obviously she was hooked up to all of that medical equipment for a reason, though what that reason could possibly be isn't immediately obvious to Isaac. Still, if she's to last long enough to return to Northsdale something has to be done immediately to keep her alive.

((Yeah... To be honest I wasn't expecting the Nomad's AoE attack to completely wreck the tentacles. Oh well. At least it means that the plot can progress some more.))

"What are you going to do as she turns on her allies, one by one?"
The mysterious man begins to walk beside them.
"Lovely weather... is it not?" he said with an insidious, toothy smile; they see fangs in his teeth.

Icarus steps around the corner

"Hi there. What are you talking about?"

[Kansa]

Alice looked around as Icarus stepped forward, there was a smile on her face but it was a nervous one. She hesitated for a moment her brain whirring as she tried to think of something plausible.
"We... We were just talking about where the... the honeymoon was going to be."

[Akroma]

"Lies."
