(( Helen Jekyll: Though Hela did her level best to hide it, it didn't take an expert analyst to notice her expression fall at Deilos's wish to leave, her shoulders slumping slightly with disappointment.
"Oh, I..."
She shook her head to clear it and glanced towards the door, fiddling with the teacup she'd intended to give him.
"If you really want to leave, I guess..."
Just then, Leo finished with his milk and, with a languid stretch, set about finding a comfortable spot to nap off his snack.
That spot, it turns out, was in Deilos's lap, and the Turkish Van attempted to curl up there as a warm, furry ball of orange and white. ))
Deilos had only just begun to rise to his feet when the cat dropped into his lap. With a tense, awkward pause, he sank back to his seat on the floor.
His mouth curved in a faint, relaxed smile as he rested a hand on its head, scratching behind its ears with newfound affection. "I-- uh-- w- well... perhaps I can...stay awhile."
Cirol grinned and cooed at the sight, hands coming to clutch his cheeks with an exaggerated 'gasp!' as he whispered in a soft, lilting sing-song tone, "Goodness gracious, my oh me, this is the most adorable thing I've ever seen!"

"Would you like a tea-time buddy too, Cirol?" asked Hela with a bright smile, gesturing to the remainder of her pets and other guests, "I'm sure one of them could be convinced to join you, with the right incentive."
Meanwhile, Leo purred quite contently at the attention, pressing his head into Deilos's hand to ensure he got just the right spot, eyes closed in pleasure.

"I'd be delighted!" Cirol chirped, leaning forward with an eager grin. "They're all just so wonderful, I'm just thrilled to be a guest here!"
Deilos' lips pursed in thinly-veiled joy, curving into a smirk as he scratched the kitten's ears with expert care. "Aww..."

"Well, is there anyone in particular you'd like to get to know?"
Hela set Deilos' cup and saucer in front of him, pouring him some tea as continued speaking to Cirol.
"They're usually all pretty good with people, but if they're not in the mood for socializing, I don't like to force them."
Though subtle, there was a warning edge to her tone that made it clear that should he try and pressure her companions into doing anything, he would regret it.

(( Jekyll1886: "Ah," said Lewis with a knowing look. "I've encountered those two already: Thymos has gone to the roof to cool off while Huxley and Richard keep Diatias in check. The latter three are in Elias's room," he informed them, "along with the logical part of Elias.
"We, meanwhile, may have a pleasant stroll as we look for the others you mentioned."
Tairais: Charricthran nodded, some small and previously hidden amount of tension lifting from his shoulders as he did so.
"Glad ta hear things're... calm-ish at least. Anythin' ya want me along for, or is it a too-many-cooks situation?"
He paused, tilted his head in consideration, then added, "How did this even happen, anyhow? Last I checked, humans breaking inta bits-an'-pieces o' themselves don' quite happen in this universe."
He paused, then amended with a grin, "Least, no' like this anyhow. 'S Whisperin' different than the folk tha' usually do." ))
"I'll hand that decision to Lewis," regarded the facet. "As for what happened, I believe Huxley's attempts to mend a rather sticky situation resulted in Elias' division of self."
He gave a smile and a blasé shrug, obviously less than devastated about the current ongoings. "Ah, well. C'est la vie, I suppose! Shall we?--"
Just then, his words and expression stalled, as if re-evaluating the situation. Then, he pressed a hand to his chest with an embarrassed smile. "How silly of me to not have introduced myself! I am Theodosios, purveyor of Elias' goals for his future, interests, and relationships."

Lewis ever-so-briefly went a little pale at the last of Charricthran's words, but had quickly recovered by the time Theodosios spoke.
"You're welcome to come if you like, Charricthran," Weir replied.
"A pleasure," he returned to Theodosios.
"And, do let's," he added with a smile and a gesture for them to begin their walk.

Something in Charricthran's expression caught at Lewis', and was quickly hidden behind a sheepish and slightly tired smile as he pulled himself to his feet.
It'd been weeks, going on months, and he still felt like liquid held within the outline of a rubber band stretched too taught.
jaci dartaka loreatirisshar'ti'svekepa
The tiredness faded from view into an easier, more familiar sort of thing, mischief and childlike wonder at everything and the sort of Knowing that he Knew was entirely his.
His smile, sharp-toothed, shark-toothed. Wide, fully feeling, not-quite-never-alright but fine. Now was not the time to snap. He could wait until he was certain everyone'd be safe and well and whole.
(And then he was oh so carefully not thinking at all, because it didn't matter and wasn't going to matter, because he didn't want it to.)
"Charmed, I'm sure o', Theodosios. Where's the legs wanderin', fellas?"

Theodosios clasped his hands in front of him as he walked, gaze moving fluidly between Lewis and Charricthran. "Wherever the wind takes us! Now, Lewis, have you any questions? You seemed very interested just a moment ago."

"Oh, I wondered what you'd been talking about with Charricthran before I found the two of you," stated Lewis as he walked along with them.
"Additionally--as I'm sure you know--I've an interest in the so-called 'Jekyll-and-Hyde' phenomenon, so I'm naturally curious whether any of your fellows bear more than a passing resemblance to Oliver and, if so, which," Weir concluded with a smile.

"Theodosios has charmin' ideas 'bout the future he-slash-Elias an' co are gonna have with Ricky-boy there. 'S so sweet, I almost melted--an' I mean literally. Try 'splainin' ta the higher-ups they've a hole in the library due ta too much... something-like-cute."
Charricthran trailed off with a faintly confused grin and a chuckle.
"Lost track o' where that sentence was goin' halfway through, woops. Point bein', if I'd any reservations o' good intentions, I don' now. Not that I did mind, 's a not-literal-thing."

Theodosios' face was briefly overtaken by a gentle, romantic sort of fondness. "Even Elias has a little bit of a romantic in his heart."
At Lewis' additional remark, his expression became alight with recognition. "Ah, you're seeking Cirol and Deilos! Funny duo, those two.
"You'd be correct in thinking some of us may take more to one than the other. Deilos and Cirol, respectively representing their anxieties and his capacity for kindness and ethical thinking, are found more prevalently in Oliver, so they look the closest to him.
"Elinaos, who conducts internal affairs and acts as a logical preservational instinct, and Diatias, who presides over some of the...more animalistic preservational instincts, both take more closely after Elias.
"Thymos and I lie in a middle ground, as both their goals and their temperament have a key role in their division of characteristics. In Elias, well... his goals have gotten a little lost along the way, so he can be a little fussy and prone to meanness. Oliver, meanwhile, only wants to survive -- therefore, he's self-defensive and anxious, but he tries to avoid rudeness when he can."
With a dramatic sort-of-sigh, Theodosios draped one hand over his chest and the other over his forehead in a theatric display of emotion. "Goodness, I just want them both to be happy -- don't mind me getting all emotional..."

"Animalistic preservational instincts"... echoed Lewis in his mind.
Good God, 'tis a fortunate thing indeed we denied Thymos his way.
He listened with rapt attention to Theodosios' explanation of the various facets.
"You're perfectly fine to," Weir reassured him. "Our emotions help make us human, after all."

Charricthran let out a low whistle, head tilted in curious fascination.
"Lotta ya kickin' 'round in there--'s a right party an' a half."
He didn't have a whole lot to say besides that. Insofar as he was concerned, his goals aligned with Theodosios', as he wanted Elias and Oliver to be happy both on behalf of Richard and on behalf of himself.

Richard grinned rather lopsidedly, exposing a handful almost whimsically crooked, snaggled teeth.
"Wonderful, wonderful. I do not suppose you currently have time in your schedule to assist me with a matter of... how do you say."
He glanced off to the side, lost in serious thought as he tried to remember what words he'd forgotten. After a moment, he nodded and looned at Irina again.
"A matter of sentimentality, I believe? I have an old violin that had been of my mother, and I would like to see it restored if at all possible... though it is in a number of pieces at this point, I am afraid."

"Oh, my..." she mutered, "uhm, that's quite a problem. You see, anything can be changed in a violin: bridge, chinrest, fingerboard, scroll... Anything. But there's sometimes... There's no way to fix it". Irina sighed gloomily. " If the parts of the resonance box are just separated, there must be a solution. Where's the violin?" she added.

Irina entered the room examining everything carefully. She crossed her arms while she was frowning, looking for case.
She looked at Lewis and Richard.
"Can I see the violin?" She finally said after taking some deep breaths, with a choked voice and watery eyes, knowing the important value of that instriment.

Richard tilted his head in a nod, then gestured to the well-worn sofa and pair of armchairs in a half-circle around a coffee table facing a large glass window.
"Make yourselves at home. I'd offer tea, but I'm afraid Gerard ran off somewhere, and Charricthran has my spare kettle at the moment." He offered an apologetic smile. "Pray forgive me my poor skills as a host this time. I will be but a moment."
With that, he turned on his heel and half-strode, half-prowled his way down a hallway, then into another room out of sight, leaving Irina and Lewis by themselves for a few moments.

"That sounds great." said Irina. "I'm really worried about this. This violin should be very important for Richard, yet I have to know the state of the instrument, to see if it possible to fix it".
Irina looked at the floor, dropping few curls from her tousled hair in bun on her face.

Helen stopped the party just outside the door of Dr. Jekyll’s office, turning to address them.
((Hey there! So, on the forum, we don’t actually play Sabrina’s Dr. Henry Jekyll, as the character doesn’t belong to us, but what we can do is have conversations offscreen, so you can simply just put some variation of “Phileas talked to Henry” in your response to cover it.))
“Now, if you’ll wait just a moment, Mr. Fogg, I’ll inform the co-founder of your presence—It shouldn’t take but a minute,” She assured with a smile before knocking and entering when a voice inside bid her in, closing the door behind her.
Hardly a full minute later, Helen exited the room again and nodded to Phileas.
“He’s ready to see you know, if you’d like,” She offered, holding the door open for him to enter, “Whenever you’ve finished, I will still be here to assist you further.”

((Ok)) Phileas walks through the open door, ready for business. When he came out of the door after a long conversation with Jekyll, he had the same warm feeling that a man feels after he has done a good deed. Luckily, he did not have time to sink deeply into his thoughts. He quickly discovered that Lewis and Helen Jekyll were still standing outside the door. "I'm sorry I made you wait so long," Phil said. "I would have thought you were waiting for me, I wouldn't have talk so much"

She ducked her head with a quiet hum and closed her eyes, simply soaking in the warmth of the moment.
If it were up to her, she'd stay in her room for the remainder of the day, relaxing with Lewis...
But if whoever summoned the 'hell-hound' lets something worse loose in the Society, I might not have a room anymore.
A sigh.
"Well, I best be heading out to find whoever caused this mess, before they cause anymore trouble."
She rose and offered her hand to Lewis.
"Care to join me?"

"My pleasure," he nodded his assent as he took her hand and stood.

Soon, Lewis and Helen had managed to track down the Lodger who had summoned the hellhound and spoke with them about the incident.
It didn't take long for the pair to discover that the perpetrator had lied about their field when they'd joined the Society--the study of ancient documents was not the same thing as demonology--and thus Helen swiftly removed their Lodger status, turning them out from the Society.
After reporting the incident to the co-founder, Dr. Jekyll, all that remained was to clean up the mess left behind by the beast's brief rampage.

Hela let out a huff that was part annoyance and part amusement at his apparent concern for the various pieces of scientific equipment, a sentiment that rapidly dissolved into ire when she watched as none of the vials she needed were taken out of the sack.
"You only grabbed two?" She growled, the sentence more an accusation than a question, a dangerous glint to her gaze.
"There were six of them, how did you only grab two?"
Jekyll1886
"Six?" echoed Lewis. "Damn, I got only five," he remarked, pulling three vials from his pockets. "'Hope that last one wasn't important."
He placed them on the table.
"Are these useful to you? What are they, anyway?"

Avatar
Helen Jekyll  Jekyll1886 • a year ago
With a muted snarl, Hela snatched the three vials from the table, retreating a small distance to look over each one intently.
It was only once all three had been thoroughly examined and she found no sigh of tampering that she spoke, some of the tension leaving her.
“Extremely useful. They’re different chemical cocktails—You drink one of these, and there’s no miracle on earth that can save you from a slow, agonizingly painful death.”
She set the vials next to the two she’d found before, comparing the labels on them.
“But... If you have just the right mix of three of them, then instead of dying, you’ll find that it’s suddenly a lot harder to get yourself killed... And with all the unusual and bitter substances that would then be pumping through your blood, vampire b*stards like Ayato aren’t nearly so keen to try some.”
A pause, her tone becoming somewhat strained.
“Unfortunately, without that last test tube of ingredients, I can only make a single dose, which means either I have to risk mine wearing off... or you go without protection against biting.”

Hela cast a brief glance in his direction, evidently weighing options within her mind as she regarded him warily.
“The doctor wanted to create the perfect human being,” She said after a long moment, not exactly eager to share. “So, she tried to find a way to make herself stronger.”
A nonchalant shrug to hide the irritation building beneath her skin.
“I won’t bother with all of the science, but the gist is that you’d be better off taking a dagger to the back with some of this in you rather than without.”

It hopped off the window ledge and half-fell, half-floated to the ground. When it'd landed amidst cobblestones and dust, it gave a pointed look back up to the window, waiting expectantly before it took off through streetside London.

The raven took off the moment Oscar came within view, and didn't cease its travels until both it and Oscar had arrived at their destination some time later.
29 Hanbury street was a ramshackle tenement house in a row of ramshackle tenement houses on a street of ramshackle tenement houses; that was to say, it was a perfectly normal building for London's East End.
It stood as these sorts of things always do, straight upright despite its various dings, dents, and broken windows, weary but stubbornly unbroken.
The streets were relatively empty, and those few souls who wandered payed no mind to Oscar save perhaps a cursory glance in his direction.
The raven, for its part, took roost on the roof of the building, regarding Oscar with its beady eyes.
