The creature we are hunting is called Black Annis. I have been told that she resists that which the other fae shy away from. "She will take and not give back and suffer no consequences".

Before we can continue, we must find a way to negate this aspect of hers.

I am able to silence a foe, to prevent any somatic magic from being used...but I am not sure if this will be enough. I was told not to go alone.

[Alright, guys, the plan. What is it.]

... If anything is going to happen, I'm going too.

[ There's very obviously more below her usual deadpan, even if she still somewhat tries to cover it up - burning rage, a thirst for revenge as her only way of even starting to make up for what happened. ]

Do we have any indication as to how powerful she is aside from the fact that she can resist what other fae can't?

[unholy-rebirth.livejournal.com]

[She just bobs her head. She'd expect Ange to come.]

I was told that she can polymorph without letting the victim return to his natural form. That she breaks all rules.

[so, pretty powerful. Or at least gimmicky.]

[entreats]

Breaking rules.. huh, sounds bothersome enough.

[ A beat. ] Still no reason to back down, though. I have a gun and I can summon stakes, but I doubt that'd be enough.

[unholy-rebirth.livejournal.com]

[Hmm.]

More firepower is always a welcome addition.

I have heard that among us we have someone who can control time.

[entreats]

Controlling time might be a useful addition if we're up against something like that.

[unholy-rebirth.livejournal.com]

That it might be. If she can be frozen in time, she will not be able to defend herself.

[pause.]

Unless that ability is latent.

[Hmm....:(...]]

[entreats]

We just need to bring as much as we can to that fight, so we can make sure we'll be able to overwhelm her.

[toplay-thefool.livejournal.com]

Thereth - how did you find that out? Did you speak to the fae?

[unholy-rebirth.livejournal.com]

To the Guardian, yes.

[toplay-thefool.livejournal.com]

What else did he tell you?

[unholy-rebirth.livejournal.com]

She lives in the forest in her own croft. Do not go alone. Carry your rowan and your iron.

She bends the rules of reality. Those which we must follow. It seems she is very powerful.

[toplay-thefool.livejournal.com]

[A nod.] With this information, we can start scouting for her. Thank you, Thereth.

[unholy-rebirth.livejournal.com]

Of course.

[headbob.]

Do you have any suggestions for how to negate her powers, Souji?

[toplay-thefool.livejournal.com]

Hm. Did he explain anything more of what we should expect?

[contract-this.livejournal.com]

I can provide as many openings as are needed to attack, among other contributions.

[unholy-rebirth.livejournal.com]

Thank you. May I ask how?

[contract-this.livejournal.com]

Through time.

[unholy-rebirth.livejournal.com]

[oh well. ok. that's....that's cool.]

I see.

[pause.]

Are you able to freeze one enemy in time, perhaps?

[contract-this.livejournal.com]

I can, if that is what's needed.

[unholy-rebirth.livejournal.com]

I believe that would be very helpful. [ :o ]

What is your name again?

[contract-this.livejournal.com]

Akemi Homura.

[protectsfools.livejournal.com]

What has this creature done?

[unholy-rebirth.livejournal.com]

[Oh, is ok man, Thereth will fill you in....bluntly....]

She kidnapped a little girl from among our ranks. The girl's skin was found hanging from a tree near her croft soon after.

[protectsfools.livejournal.com]

That's... horrible. Why would any being do that to a child?

[unholy-rebirth.livejournal.com]

There are many reasons, if one could call them that. Perhaps she despises other races, or perhaps [...] she used the body for something and discarded the rest.

[Ew yeah that was nasty. Ew.]

[protectsfools.livejournal.com]

She can't be allowed to strike again.

[unholy-rebirth.livejournal.com]

I agree. But I am unsure as to how to stop her.

[protectsfools.livejournal.com]

We need to discover any weaknesses she may have.

[dragon-savior.livejournal.com]

Let her come with whatever power she can muster.

[The boy's tone is quietly fierce, this isn't a fight he'll lose.]

It won't be enough.

[unholy-rebirth.livejournal.com]

[A-aw....hero....<3 She appreciates his heroicness.]

Do you have any ideas on how to negate her powers?

[dragon-savior.livejournal.com]

No... We have that in common, but they don't have a way to negate mine, either.

[unholy-rebirth.livejournal.com]

[Oh, that sounds promising.]

You have the power to resist and defy? Tell me more.

[dragon-savior.livejournal.com]

Well... Not necessarily. I don't want to go into the details, but I have my ways.
