Helena's look of incredulity is back, and it's accompanied by a smirk. "Moving right past the part where you called me 'Gloria' - think there's something unrequited there, Jude, hun. Watch for that. Are you talking about what you think you're talking about, Cass? 'Cause I think you're mashing Star Wars and Star Trek together, and that is a travesty. Not even being Canadian excuses that one. "But anyway I've never been to Stygia so this sounds fascinating and I'm all for it. I mean, lost knowledge? Yes please. What is this thing? Maybe I've heard of it. I mean, I wouldn't say I've heard of everything, but in my experience the list of things I haven't heard of is pretty short." She gives a little shrug; being a walking library - and being helpful with it - is kind of her thing.

Crux looked to her phone. "Oh! Johannes, we have to make a stop at 30Rock either before or after skating, but it has to be tonight," she remarked before "tucking karen in" to the microwave. "G'night, Karen. Stay comfy. Be nice."

After chowing down on his feast Arden settles in for a long scry session. He chooses a location at random, with a little help form Fate, from his search and begins. {wits + Stealth + Space 22}

Cass blinked a few times before he spoke. With anyone else he would be offended he would have been insulted, but he knew who he was talking to. So instead he decided to reply in what he thought to be Helena's native tongue, sassy.
"I am not getting them mixed up. I merely said that I was going to use Star Wars and the force to explain what I perceived as the connection you and Tyco had, but realized that the force was just too vague. So, I went with the more personal and intimate Vulcan theory. Thought that is also a bit inaccurate. It's okay though I understand, and you got a lot to think about. You might just want to sort out all the stuff in your head before you load up and fire off that level 5 Sass canon, eh." Cass downs the rest of the pop and puts it on the table with a smile. Well, more of a smirk. A smirk that clearly (he hoped) conveyed that he was being playful and not offended.
"I need another." Cass wiggles his empty can and gets up and heads to the fridge. "Anyone else want a pop?"

As soon as Cassidy says 'sass cannon', Helena fucking loses it. She laughs so hard, after a while no sound comes out. When she finally manages to catch enough breath to speak again, she says - well, more gets in edgewise between gasps for air, "Oh gods! Ohh, ow. It hurts to laugh. Hee. That was damned priceless." Face all red, she waggles a finger at Cassidy. "And that right there is why I foresee us being good friends!" It probably hurts to talk, too, because she resorts to polite gestures to request another beverage when Cass gets up.
Meanwhile, the vampire and the devil are headed out on their date, to go ice skating of all things (Just for fun, let's have Dex+Athletics rolls to see how hilariously you may or may not fall on your ass). Eventually, though, you have to head in to 30 Rock to see the Prince of New York...

(Rolled a 25 total, she skates well, but.. hockey and speed style)
For all intents and purposes, Crux felt the date was proper and romantic. She was feeling warm and fuzzy and was pretty affectionate between tackling bystanders.
(Rolled again for affection and she's totally rocking the kawaii face)
"So, eh, can I refer to you as my boyfriend? We went on a date and Google says that's the next step. But, I still want sex with other people. Lots." She nodded while tucking her pilfered ice skates into her coat.
As they approached 30 Rock, she took a deep breath. "Well, here we go?"

Jude loaded up on sweets in the kitchen. She nodded to the little spirit, and out loud said "Thank you. I appreciate it." She went to pet the thing.
She went back and flopped on the couch and began to tear into the snacks. She giggled at the sass cannon comment. She held a snack towards Cassidy, offering it to him.
"I spoke with Grandfather and he said meetings were being held. The Pentacle has already convened and they may have to go speak with...Salmon? Solomon. And that's all I know right now. " she reported in before shoving a swiss roll in her mouth.

Cinnamon, still reeling from the whole experience, had been silent the entire ride to the hotel and had promptly curled up in a corner and passed out upon entering the room. She had been in a lot of danger before, but she had never been literally that close to dying. Even as fae, Cin was considering going to a hospital.
Johann's voice in the room had half pulled her from sleep but it wasn't until Cas mentioned Stygia that she regained consciousness. She remained silent with her eyes closed as the others spoke. Finally opening her eyes, she propped herself up from her position on the floor.
"Do we really have to go through Stygia again? Can't we just take a plane?" Slowly, she got up, noticing the food for the first time and decided to order some for herself before spring a text to Sandlar. {In NYC now. Got rid of the tesseract. R things better yet? Wuts going on?}

Cass grabbed a few pops from the fridge. He figured everyone would want one when they saw them. He set them on the tabel and had a seat. It was at that point he noticed the cake that Jude was offering. He accepted with a smile.
"Thank you magical girl."
He unwrapped the cake and quickly ate it. After he was finished he came back to Helena's previous question.
"The manifestation is called the Pit. It's said to draw it's power from the underworld itself. With my cold wind key I could freeze a persons very soul, with the tear stained leave them in complete devastating isolation. If I trained with my grave dirt enough I could even call undead creatures to help me fight. It's a thing of pure torture." His expression changes a bit. He seems just a bit worried about the thoughts running through his head. "Normally I would never go near anything like it. I like to stick with manifestations and keys that have other uses then causing harm. It's why I passed on the chance to learn Pyre Flame, or the marionette. That was before though. We're about to fight a war and I have people who I desperately want to protect. I've grown very found of everyone since fate and the sausage king put us all together." He chuckles a bit. His eyes flash with curiosity. "Then again, it may be a bit of the monster inside of me. The cheif's thoughts and need sometimes bleed in. He was a warlord after all, eh?"
Cass hears Cin stir and looks back at her with a smile. "It is the fastest way. Also it would give me a chance to gain some of my resources back." He gets up, grabs a soda and walks over to the changling. "How are you holding up?"

Crux: Johann is quite amused, apparently having a grand ol' time. "Sure. Boyfriend. Let's go with that! And you can fuck whoever you want. I'm not greedy." The building is, of course, open. Other than you, Johann, and the security guards on duty at the desk, the lobby is empty. One of them looks up, furrows his brow, and asks, "Can I help you?"
Cinnamon: Bing! Text from Sandler: Hedge situation has improved greatly - well done there - but Crown situation has not. Lost contact with Sefia; did you ever meet? Street war heating up; staying out of it, other than mercenaries.
The Penthouse: Helena spares Jude a curious glance before turning to Cinnamon. "G'morning, there, sleepyhead. Feeling all right?" She waves. "Conventional travel is problematic when a vampire is involved. C'mon. Stygia can't be that bad, can it?" Cass calling Jude 'magical girl' prompts her to giggle. "Ohmygosh you two are too cute. Stop it." On the subject of the Pit manifestation, she has this to add, "... yeah, that one was real popular in Antiquity. If memory serves, it was the result of a pact made with one of - or possibly several of - the gods of death. Nephthys, I think, was the leading contender, though Nergal and Aita also came up in the literature. Curiously, Hecate is not mentioned, though I can't see how she wouldn't at least know about it, even if she's not responsible for it."

Crux grins wide to the point of her eyes nearly being closed. "The point is *I* don't wanna be greedy either. But, yay!"
Bless Google Answers.
As they were asked, she nodded and replied sweetly, "Delsyn? She's on, eh, floor, 70. We just came in from out of town and are being expected to come in for this appointment."

Jude caught Helena's look and tilted her head. Did she do something strange? She shrugged a vit, not really worrying about it. She opened up another snack cake and began to eat it as well.
"How are you feeling, Cinnamon?" She asked, genuinely concerned for the changeling.
Her head whipped around to face Helena again, a little surprised by the comment. She blushed and smiled. "Thanks!"

Crux: The second guard turns to the first, "Oh, yeah, one of the boss's 'out of towners'. Better let her in." The first guard still appears confused, but isn't about to argue - He may be the ranking guy on duty, but his compatriot is older, and everyone knows you don't question the old veteran. You ride the elevator to the top. An instrumental of 'The Girl from Ipanema' plays. You exit into an empty hallway; the directory points you to your destination. Curiously, there are no guards posted - well, at least that you can see. As you approach the door, you begin to overhear a somewhat heated exchange: A male voice: "May I remind you, Madam Delsyn, I am simply a negotiator, hired in accordance with the Los Angeles Concordat. If you wish to speak with my patrons directly, I shall arrange for further business to be conducted on neutral ground." An irritated sigh, followed by a female voice: "Yes, of course. My apologies. This is no fault of yours. Nor, I must admit, theirs - at least in part. LaCroix played with fire and we were all burned for his indiscretion!" The male voice: "The Wan Kuei did not take the betrayal and loss of Ming Xiao lightly." The female voice: "She was not BETRAYED by us! The Camarilla did NOT condone LaCroix's - forget it." She snarls. "Their philosophies demand we all shoulder the blame for one wayward member's mistakes, and I will waste no more time arguing. So, the east side docks?" The male voice: "Yes, though perhaps we should table this for the moment? One of yours and... one of mine..." He hesitates here, uncertain. "Is just outside the door." You hear footsteps, the scrape of a chair, and then the female voice: "Come in, then." You hear the lock click.
The Penthouse: Helena takes a break from devouring her delicious steak and looks to Jude. "Do you always talk to the empty air or was that a spirit? Also, I feel like I know this already but I'm blanking; who's Solomon?"

After eavesdropping with intent, and hearing herself be referenced, Crux followed directions, opening the door. As she entered, though, she took on a more formal stance- respectful, upright, and..not venturing more than five inches from Johannes' side. Loudness and tension made the small bloodsucker incredibly nervous. "Ah.. eh.. I'm. .oh!" Remember your manners, she told herself, and did her rolling bow before shooting herself upright again. She didn't seem entirely aware of whether or not she'd be knocking into of rubbing against her newly defined Devil boyfriend. "Crux, Childe of Malkav, coming to say hello you your Princelyness, and say hi from Solomon, the Snausage King of Chicago. "

Jude grinned, "Yes to both actually. But i was just letting Grandfather know what was going on. But he doesn't do the telepathic thing like some. He had a little messenger spirit." She said with a small nod. "But talking to myself isn't uncommon either. Sometimes i need a professional opinion. "
