"Well, I teleported to Jess, in an attempt to safely teleport to you without drawing attention, as you seemed to not want that. Once there, I stretched my legs out and went walking while Jess made contact with you, curious as to what was going on. Before that, I noted Jess's strange change in eye color. As I went up the hill, one of the other members of the group was practicing magic. Considering I had just left where it was evidenced she had been practicing magic, I was on guard. I walked past her, and, against this woman's protest, walked into the same general area as where they were staying. She had the same exact shade of blue eyes Jessica did, something I think needs to be noted."
"Once I arrived in the area, I smelled something..." Bryce looks pained, and rubs his arm self consciously. "Embalming fluid. Enough had been used around the area that it reeked of it, before I entered any sort of place where they had been operating. Where I'm from, if you smell that, it means you stumbled across a death cult. So, I turned to fire sedatives on the girl behind me, to interrogate. She had cloaked, and the fight began between myself and her."
"She was incredibly skilled in magic, so I changed into a form better to deal with her. Along with her, several people that until then had been motionless and silent opened fire upon me, and I retreated underground, thanks to my form. There, I was able to detect where the cloaked woman was, so I burst from the ground, intending to use a specialized containment area that my form had to hold her and examine her memories. I also fired several attacks at the soldiers hidden, but they seemed to act exactly as an undead zombie would, not reacting at all to arm sized spikes being buried into them. I missed the woman, and along with her magical attacks, another person fired an attack at me. At that point, I retreated, but not before Jessica showed up. I tried to get her away from the fight, I will admit in a disturbing manner, and she teleported away. After that, knowing I couldn't save her without dying myself in the process, I retreated, planning on meeting up with you to inform you of this and muster a response team from my home."
Bryce watched Ness, trying to watch her and see how his story was taken.

"Sorry..." Jessica replied to Ness, her telepathic message carrying a saddened tone. "And he is?...Well I can't explain that...right after he asked me what you were doing, he ran off somewhere...haven't seen him since...who knows what he's been up to...he couldn't possibly be telling the truth about being around my associates and myself though..." This isn't good... She let out a sigh. Hearing Loki's reply, she nodded to him. She walked over to an open area of the courtyard and started drawing a circle on the floor with a fresh piece of chalk.
Nybeth was rather uncaring that the zombie seemed to be failing at performing up to expectations. He walked back over to Loki to report his tests. "The brain damage the body suffered seems to have precluded the Garzic zombie from making use of its summoning magic."

Dizzy looked at Erica's hand, titling her head slightly. "Shake her hand please Dizzy" Dizzy shook Erica hand lightly. "Your welcome..." she said in a bored tone. "I suppose we better be off, people to help" "Souls to collect" "....I want to sleep..." Dizzy gave a small bow and wave to Erica and Valentine before disappearing in a whirl of blue feathers. Valentine smiled greatly. "The only question remains now, where do you want to go first?" She asked Erica.
Ness stayed stonefaced during the entire story. Afterward, she simply looked down for a moment, arms crossed. She was really waiting for Jess to reply back but she just contemplated what to do next in the meantime. ...There's no way zombies could be used for anything good... They're just like those 'things' back home. ...Jess... you didn't lie to me... did you?
While Rita waited, she began charging some form of magical energy. Once she had enough she made a hand movement and the energy formed into a ball that hovered in place. Opening her book, she held it in front of the ball which got sucked into the book, causing it to glow as she shut the book and strapped it on her back.
OoC @Furioso: Welcome to the 10k club! You are now officially cool. 
"A shame. No matter. If it still has the others spells at its disposal that it did in life, it has its uses still." Loki said to Nybeth, then looked back to Jessica. "Oh, the portal. Make it lead to the main hall of the palace, since getting inside would be difficult otherwise." He glanced over to Rita as she formed and trapped a sphere of magical energy in her book, but didn't pay this much thought.

"What a colourful bunch they were." Erica remarked when Dizzy disappeared, then turned to Valentine, giving her a firm, but brief hug. "Well, as I said, to where ever the road might take us for now. I couldn't remember any directions if I asked anyway, so this is the best way to go about it, I should think. And, should we find ourselves hopelessly lost, which, let's be honest, is bound to happen sooner or later, we can just go back to Skyrim." she explained with a jovial tone.

Bryce sighed, and looked around. "I figure, best case, Jess didn't know, and she ran off. Maybe she just hasn't mentioned it to you yet. Next best case, brainwashing. Jess doesn't strike me the type to sign on with necromancers."
Valentine returned the brief hug and smiled. "If you want to go back to Skyrim, that's fine with me Miss Erica"
"...Vanessa?...You still there?..." Jessica mentally asked, sounding somewhat worried after Ness didn't give her a reply. It took her a few moments to register what Loki said to her, to which she gave a distracted reply of, "Oh, uh, yeah. Sure. No problem." After finishing the circle, she stood back up. She took a deep breath and tried to focus on a vision of the main hall of the Shantaio palace, which took noticeably longer than usual. She still managed to activate the portal, and was about to hop through before realizing that she'd likely be immediately spotted if she did so, so she simply stood by for the time being.
Nybeth nodded to Loki. "It can still perform its other magic at the very least. Not at the same capacity, mind, but it can at the very least conjure painful bolts of lightning."

Hearing Jess' reply, Ness seemed to tap her foot repeatedly. When she looked up, her eyes seemed to have lost all of their shine and she seemed like she wanted to hurt something badly. As much as I distrust Mr. Logan... I need to try and confirm this myself. She's obviously hiding something from me...
Ness continued to tap her foot impatiently before throwing her head back and screaming "GODDAMNIT."
She sighed before creating a portal and telegraphing something to Jess. "Alright then... I have something I need to check on back home. I'll need to talk to you again to get this mental link fixed, okay? Until then..."
She turned to Bryce before walking in. "Don't follow me. I'm going to confirm this on my own."

Before exiting into her world, she nodded toward Bryce. "Yes. Please."
Oddly enough, Rex was nearby where Ness had opened the portal. He lazily poked his head through as Ness walked in. Seeing Bryce, he stepped out of it before the portal closed. [color=000066] "Damn, cowboy. Time ain't been nice to you." [/color]

Bryce laughed, before changing his face back into what it was when he was in WAOA 5. "Yeah, well, I can change back. Shit, how longs it been on your end?"
Looked looked towards Rita when she approached. "Jessica will need to see this painting in the gallery to createa portal to where we need be first. Should we attempt to simply storm the gates of the palace, we would swiftly face defeat" he said to her, then looked back to Nybeth. "It can hopefully be used to disable an enemy while others go to end them." Having said that, Loki looked back to Jessica, noting both that it took her a moment before she replied, and that it took her longer for her to activate the portal. "When I said I cared not to know the details of your private life, that was assuming it would not hinder you, which it clearly is doing. Our success may well hinge on the efficiency with which you create portals, and we cannot have you faltering so." he remarked, stepping next to Jessica. "You will answer me, what ails you?"

"I'd rather stay in this world a little while longer." Erica answered as she picked up her satchel and wrapped the belt to which it was attached around her waist. She then moved towards the door of the hotel room, asking, "Are you ready to go?"

"Okay then..." Jessica replied to Ness telepathically, a slight hint of dejection present in her mental voice. Hearing Loki ask her a question, she sighed again before turning to face him. "Well...you know that guy that attacked us yesterday? Apparently one of my friends ran into him, and he's going around spreading stuff about us."
