Who: Helios and pretty much everyone who replied to this post
What: The demon god Apep which affixed itself to Helios’ soul has awoken.
When: August 6th-9th
Where: Starting around house 44 then mainly around town and the woods
Summary: Basically Helios gets possessed and causes all sorts of chaos and destruction that the evil god, Apep, is known for causing!
Rating: R for lots of violence

[ It’s strange how the twist of events of a simple evening walk could change much of everything. In an instant, that was Luceti’s way of things, changing things in an instant. And Helios never even saw it coming. There were still parts of that night and parts of his soul that he never truly understood. But there were always ways of finding out. They say hands on experience is one of the best ways of learning. And this is a lesson he and several others won't soon forget. ]

[Saori looks down at Lupin, then at Adele and shrugs. She could feel the ki flow to his arm being disrupted. Dislocated, not broken. But his question]

You shouldn't have wandered off alone when you knew something was wrong, Little Fox. And your arm? Not bad. Here, this may hurt but try not to scream.

[With a single, fluid motion she grabs his disjointed arm and bends it into a proper position, wiggling it a few times while applying pressure. There is an audible pop after a second as it slips back into place, and he is released]

Dislocation. Nothing serious there. The rest of this? Very bad.

[He bites down a startled grunt of pain as she manipulates the limb with little warning.] Augh--Goddamn!! Next time warn a guy a little better, Saori! A few shots of whiskey would have been nice.

[Lupin hauls himself up too fast, and is met by another wave of vertigo for his efforts. Regardless, he manages a stare that was almost withering for Saori. He held his arm with his uninjured one, quickly formulating a checklist in his mind.]

'Very bad' is light--Helios is possessed by some kind of God, isn't he? [He shakes his head, sincerely wishing for a shot of that whiskey.] Goddamn...I'm gonna need a sling. How's Artoo and Shepard?

If she warned you, you would have locked up and made it more difficult to perform the adjustment.

[Adele stands with Lupin, stepping in to hook an arm around his waist on his good side. He needs a sling- painkillers beyond a simple soothing pulse from Nala. She didn't have anything that could help at the moment, a stop to the village clinic would solve it.]

We've a name. Apep. Artoo is...hiding, I think. I have not seen the Commander.

[Saori's gaze doesn't change. Lupin wasn't stupid enough to think that his most withering gaze would've bothered her in the slightest when she was in a serious mood. She offers a wry smile at Adele's words, thought]

Think on it this way, it could have been worse. It could have been broken. Cease your whining. We've got work to do.

[Of course, she's only half joking, too. Her hands come to rest on her hips, and she looks around the room, rain still pounding outside.]

I need your help. Information on this Apep. I know he's Egyptian, and claims to be a god of Chaos. I need to know more about him, and as I used a significant portion of my power in driving him and one of his minions away I must meditate and recover.

[NSAIDs, Anti-inflammatories. Those were the medications he had in mind, if he was falling back into his old routine. They would cut down on the pain, and keep his head clear with minimal side effect. If he understood it right, they wouldn't interact with the Lorazepam either. Lupin gratefully accepts Adele's support and nods grimly at Saori. He understood, and he wasn't really angry. Just startled--and damn that had hurt.

His shoulder still throbbed, but he could work through it. He had dealt with worse on jobs.]

Researching...I can do. Info is always important, and mining for it is rewarding in and of itself. You do what you must, Songbird. We'll get you the info...and find Shepard and Artoo.

[Especially Artoo. There was little to no way to help the small droid if he had faced any damage.]

And thanks, for responding so quickly. Dunno what we would have done if you hadn't showed.

[Saori nodded, her eyes not stopping as she scanned the room for signs of lingering taint. The building was filled with negative energy, but driving away the enemy had definitely lessened its hold.]

Of course. You asked for my help. I came, as I said I would.

[Then she remembers]

There is another enemy. A man with red hair, wielding a trident and summoning devils. He tried to bar my passage, though I defeated him, but he may be lurking nearby. I would watch for him, he seems quite mad.

...Isaac?

[He was the only one in the enclosure that matched Saori's description- but why would he help Apep? Why would he be involved at all? She doesn't remember enough or know enough of the man to clearly say but...if his mind had been pressed upon as hers was that might explain things.]

He's often volatile, and occasionally vulgar, but violent? Not in my experience with him.

He's violent enough.

[She traces a finger along her cheek, indicating a pencil thin red line that was already knitting shut]

And he's unconscious on the street.

We'll need to contain him or avoid him somehow, if he's a threat. [Although Isaac was a stranger to him, he would rather not deal with another overpowered madman.]

Any suggestions?

Rope holds him well enough. When he appeared for a second time in the village he was bound to a large wooden stake in the ground and was unable to free himself.

Better to chain him, and his hands as well. Even then, I know not what he needs to summon his pets to free him. Best to leave him be, his body is not unscathed.

[He nods.]

All right then, we'll just take the long way.

Adele: first thing, we need to get my guns, check on Artoo and Shepard. We're also going to need to drop by the clinic for that sling and anti-inflammatories.

Then, we get onto the research.

...Saori, I'm not even sure how to thank you for all of this.

And my home as well. My sword is there, as is Luminair. The cats have most likely run off for the moment- but I do need to check.

[Sword. Dragon. She'd tempted by the thought of alcohol but knows it'll help nothing. Tempted even more still by those vials in her briefcase- and shuts that line of thought off immediately. That will not help anyone here.

She adjusts her grip on Lupin and offers the closest thing she can manage to a grateful smile to Saori.]

We are in you debt, Tempête.

You will have ample opportunity to repay me in the future. I will need help when this is done.

[She can feel her anima already depleted, and the ritual to bind and seal another god is an intense experience that will use the last of her magic for a time. She's going to need to anchor herself.]

And I will have a new name to add to my book. Izanagi-sama will be pleased.

We'll help as best as we can then, Songbird.

[He meant it, even as he wondered how much more stress his body could take.]
