Arden comes back from the bathroom in a good mood and chuckling to himself. (A train with a sense of humor, yes time well spent)
Listening to Ysolde speak really highlighted all of Arden's hopes and fears, his worries and his dreams. It was really uncomfortable.
Has he chosen the right path, ignoring established wisdom in the search for something new, he could be powerful right now, well on his way to agelessness, but now his choices could literally kill him.
Arden takes another pull off the bottle of whiskey

Jude smiled at pat the wall of the train, "Thank you." She said then slung the satchel over her shoulder. She gingerly placed the heart in the convenient pocket and joined the others.
It seemed she was just in time for a story. She examined the oddly weighted gloves as she listened to conversations and tries them on. Flexing her fingers and stretching her arm to see how well they fit, and it was nice.
Jude looked at the group, "You also have a huge advantage in this mess." She said thoughtfully. "It doesn't seem like much, but the fact that this group is so close and actually gives a shit about one another speaks volumes....to me at the very least." She smiled softly. "I felt like that should be said even though it was a bit off topic."
The mage began pulling her hair back into some semblance of a bun. "Ysolda, if you don't mind me asking...any advice? I don't want to be a reason for something going wrong because I am...incapable."

"Incapable? Incapable?! Oh you dear sweet child," Ysolda shakes her head in disbelief. "You walk the same path I do; you are NEVER incapable. You already know the healing arts, but that's barely scratching the surface of our Sphere. You can sense the mere presence of anything remotely resembling 'alive' whether you can see them or not - and if you CAN see them, you can know EXACTLY how far they are from death. You can control the lesser creatures of the world and even alter their strengths to suit your needs. You can strengthen your own body to new heights, or even don aspects of the beasts!" To demonstrate, she holds out a hand; her nails elongate and sharpen into claws appropriate to a jungle cat. "And this is an unimaginative use of your powers. Think about all the animal world can do. Pitch blackness? Echolocation. Tracking a wounded man? Scent down to parts per million. In the grip of an enemy? Give your skin the sting of a jellyfish." She leans in close - that predatory grin is back. "And that's just what you can do now, disciple. You're limited to the entirety of the natural world. As your power grows, the qualities of creatures relegate to myth and legend by the Sleepers become open to you. Don't you sell yourself short." Hands back to normal, Ysolda reaches out and pinches Jude's cheeks. "You adorable little thing. Inspiration is all around you. Consider the words of Bernard of Clairvaux; Believe me, you will find more lessons in the woods than in books. Trees and stones will teach you what you cannot learn from masters."

Cass listens and watches on with great joy.
"See Jude you're freaking awesome, eh!? That animal thing is really useful too! I got a gate that dose something very similar see?"
Cass digs inside himself and begins to activate his key... Then he remembers the hede... Better save that for later.
"Well haha.... We'll have to go all jungle master mode together sometime! Could be fun!"
Cass holds up his hand offering a friendly high five. He liked Jude quite a bit. He hoped he can make her impression of him a bit better. It did begin with him dissolving a vampire with his blood vomit after all...

Jude was a little startled buy Ysolda's intensity. She really had no idea, or rather, she hadn't had much of a need to look into it. She nodded at the words, taking them all to heart.
It was uplifting and the words she really needed to hear. Even Cassidy's words made her feel like she was useful.
She laughed a bit as her cheek was pinched and stood up. "I am going to hug you now." She put her arms around the amazon of a woman.
After realeasing Ysolda she bypassed Cassidy's hand. "Hugging you too." Was allt he warning she gave before doing just that. Her eyes got a little misty before she released him. She stood up and wiped at them. "You guys rock."
Jude straightened her clothes and nodded, "couldn't have been kidnapped by a better group." She teased.

Cass was caught VERY off guard by Jude. He chuckled a bit and gave her a firm squeeze back. Cas had missed hugs. It had been awhile.
"Well, that's what the Van is for Magical Girl. We couldn't have picked up a better target. You're a perfect fit for this weird little group."
He smiled as wide and friendly as he had smiled in his life. This girl was something else, he really was happy to have her and hoped she stayed.

During this touching moment, Crux rose from her prophethic sleep. Of course, the dazed Malkavian did so in the most stereotypical vampire manner she could,arms forward, empty stare out, bending at the waist only.  With her outstretched arms,she makes grabby hands for Johannes or Ysolda, whichever of the big, scary fuckbuddies she happened to be facing. Her eyes were only half open, anyway. "Mhhh....." She whined, talking in a subdued tone as she went on, "I was walking down a hallway, and at the end, a door that had been locked.. but the key was in my hand already. I made my way there and was walking with a lady in a blue dress after some time...she came with me and we walked and walked and walked toward the door, and I knew it would open into a large, round room... but then, there was a shadow coming from the room.. a bad, spooky one..." As she finished her sentence, Crux's voice got more mystic and soft. With a shrug of her bony shoulders, though, she pepped up and said, "Then Karen woke me up! So..eh.. what I miss?" |

"Not too much. Some wisdom passed down to us from Ysolda, some bonding. It was all pleasant."
Cass got up and begun to gather the bowls from everyone who was finished. He looked to Crux who had been asleep.
"I gave Karen your bowl. Make sure to eat. I know you get peckish after your vision naps, eh?"
Cass started down back to the kitchen. He washed up and made sure everything was put back in it's place. He was a guest after all. He placed a hand on the train.
"And thank you again."
Cass smiled and made his way back. On his way his mind went back to his necklace. What was it? Well he had some time. Hebsat down in the car before the one the group occupied. He put on the mask that Chief called home and began to concentrate.
(Im activating my passion caul to have the chief help me in my attempt to figure out this item. We are both looking at it now. My roll was a 26 to activate.)
