((A repost of the Hellhound Rp! Tairais said for me to go ahead, and they’ll hop back in once Charricthran finishes fighting the Hellhound. Jekyll1886

Tairais:

The sounds above were fainter, muffled by a strange sense of time and a normal sense of distance. Somewhere, there was the unmistakable snap of a bone breaking thunder that shook the ivy-covered walls of the third-to-last floor.

There was silence for a time, then the rapid scrabble of claws trying to climb, to escape. A low murmur beckoned otherwise and was subsequently ignored, turning into a low hiss of frustration.

The storm picked up again after that, howling and shuddering and thundering all the while.

Helen:

“Down, ground, please,” Helen just managed to get out, struggling against the panicked terror that screamed her life was in danger.

Her breathing came in shallow gasps, and she clung to Lewis like a frightened cat, petrified of falling.

Jekyll1886:

He set her on her feet, careful to keep a hand ever-so-lightly against her back, just in case she needed it.

"There you are."))

With her hands on her shoulders and arms crossed over her chest, she pressed closer to Lewis, a quiet whimper escaping her as her gaze darted about the room.

“T-Thank y-you,” Helen whispered, shivering.

"No trouble at all," he assured her, and put his arm around her shoulders to comfort her.

At last, he allowed himself to take a breath, though still with a keen eye on their surroundings and ears pricked to take in the goings-on above.

"Whatever that thing is, it left a swath of flames straight down the hallway in the Society--I left the extinguisher with Charricthran.

"I imagine we're in the Other--Char's personal realm--now. And, I give you my word: You're safe with me."

She gave another breathy thanks, the added contact doing wonders to ease some of the tension that had been coiling inside her.

Closing her eyes, she attempted to turn her mind to other, less frightening things, contemplating possible conversation starters in hopes of steadying herself.

What to say, what to say...

A slight flinch, as the storm continued to rage above and the snarls and curses of the battle reached her.

Perhaps a comment on the weather will do... or... the architecture...?

Another involuntary shiver as she recalled the height they had been at, wondering if Lewis’s dash down the stairs had brought them much closer to the ground.

I suppose I could always ask him.

She cleared her throat, then swallowed audibly when that didn’t loosen the tendril of dread curled tightly around her neck.

This isn’t helping...

Opening her eyes, she tried to control her breathing, feeling a stab of panic when her efforts did little to help.

“L-Lewis? I’m not f-feeling well.”

"Would you like to lie down? Or perhaps go down another story? Or have me tell you a story to get your mind off it?" Lewis suggested.

Letting her see what he was doing, he gently pressed his hand to her forehead to gauge her temperature.

He nodded.

"Right, then," he said, hoisting her up lest she feel suddenly weak and topple down the stairs. "Off we go."

They were soon a further flight down. Lewis used his shirt sleeve to wipe off a spot of stone for Helen to lie upon, and took a seat himself after lowering her down.

"Here we are," he pronounced. "If you like, you might use your jacket as a pillow."

Another smile, still small, but full of genuine warmth.

“You’re too kind,” She told him fondly, fumbling for a moment with the buttons of her jacket before removing and folding it into a makeshift pillow as he suggested.

Once prepared, she laid down her head, flushing ever so slightly with self-consciousness as she curled her legs close beneath her.

"Well, my name's Oscar Keaton." He shrugged and sat down on one of the beds.

"Thanks for letting me in. Um, just to ask... what sort of work needs to be done here? I mean, I don't know much about science and the like, so I can't help with anything like that."))

“My apologizes, sir,” Helen offered in regards to his name, approaching to stand at a polite distance.

She nodded, smiling, at his thanks, then answered,

“Well, the Society, for all its strange and wonderful contents, is still a building with people who live and work within it, and thus, needs maintenance like any other. I’m sure we could arrange for you to join the staff.”

“But,” She continued with a glance to his injuries, “First we’ll need to take care of you—Please remain here while I fetch a doctor.”

Mz.Hyde Mod Jekyll1886 • 3 days ago

Aw, you mean you didn't buy me a new puppy Lewis? Ah well, I guess I need something to do, otherwise Rachel will come up here looking for help with cleaning up after last night, and I really don't feel like cleaning today. Come on in!

* She turns and waves them in.*

* Like the rest of the lodgers, Mz. Hyde's room was unique. However, being up here in an attic made gave her an added sense of freedom. She had a hanging bed and a stained glass skylight that light the room in an array of colors. Next to the bed was a birdcage and an odd device that looked like a combination of a spinning wheel, a blood pump, and a centrifuge. There was the desk that she was just sitting at, with the journal still open. Next to it was a tiny stool and a large mirror, and across the desk was a large wardrobe. There was another door next to the one that Callum and Lewis came in, and it led to a private bathroom.*

Welcome to my room, boys!

The Fox Mz.Hyde • 3 days ago

Callum took the scenery in with quiet attention, quickly mapping out the room and its details and noting how it reflected the young woman's character. He especially took interest in the bizarre device, his thoughts conjuring brutal images of what it might do and how it might maim someone.

He rubbed his nose and leaned against the wall, a cattish curl edging his smile.

" So how about it? What's the first order? "

Jekyll1886 The Fox • 2 days ago

"Thank you, Mz. Hyde," said Lewis. "'Tis quite beautiful."

To Callum's question, he responded, "That's up to Mz. Hyde."

He turned to her and asked, "What can you do for him, if that's alright?"

Mz.Hyde Mod Jekyll1886 • 6 days ago

Well, first things first I need your measurements. Please stand on that stool over by the mirror.

The Fox Mz.Hyde • 6 days ago

" Thought you could seem them fine already but whatever. I'm happy to oblige. "

With a casual shrug, he stepped onto the stool, catty smile still present, and stuck his hands in what remained of his pockets. He chuckled.

" Just don't go a poking where you ain't needed. I might just bite a finger off that pretty little hand of yours. "

His chuckle turned somewhat dark, its humor laced with a feral honesty.

( Lewis doesn't have much to do at the moment since it's Callum is now about to get all tailored up, so you wanna keep going? And then when 86 gets back, we can let them know what we did and they can pop back in?

__________________________________________________________________________

(Actually, I was hoping that Lewis could stick around, but that's ok!)

Aw, but don't you want a good fit everywhere?

* She smirks back at Callum as she gets her tape measure.*

Arms out,please.

* He sticks his arms out and she beings measuring and recording his measurements.*

So, what sect of werewolf are you?

Despite the progress they made there was still some guilt...still some shame left.

She looked away pensively.

". . . I'm sorry..." she finally said, "for making you feel the need to do this for me... I know these are supposed to be my problems, I should've tried harder and not burdened you with this, too. I understand that you have your own life with your own issues and I noticed how busy you are with other people who come to you to ask you to help fix their problems... I'll do better this time not to drag other people into my messes..."

As a proper gentleman should, Ethan closed the laboratory for his fiancée and guided her tenderly into the house, maintaining contact even as he opened the backdoor to allow her through.

He led her past the few servants that remained awake at such an hour, each of them astonished and overjoyed to see their employer return, but he quietly insisted they retire for the night and leave Helen be—clearly, she’d been through a lot, and she had begun to tremble.

Although his touch had been courteously light at first, Ethan found himself having to support his partner more and more, until almost the entirely of her weight rested against him.

“It’s alright, I have you,” he reassured, patiently helping her up the stairs and into her bedroom, where she laid down with a rather feeble smile.

“Thank you, Ethan. You always take such good care of me,” She said once he’d helped her get settled, lifting her hand to him.

He grasped it in his own from where he remained kneeling at her side, touching the back to his cheek affectionately.

“You deserve nothing less,” he returned after a moment with a warm, heartfelt smile. “Now, do get some rest—I shall stay here for the night, should you need anything.”

Her chin dipped in a small nod as she already appeared to grow weary and begin to doze, eyelids falling shut.

Ethan rose and pressed a soft kiss on her brow before slipping out of the room silently, closing the door behind himself to allow his love to rest peacefully.

Jekyll1886

Due to the dim but present ambient light of London at night, Hela-as-Helen, when next she opened her eyes, was able to perceive the silhouette of Lewis's upside-down head as he hung from the roof to peer through the top of her window.

Every second Hela lay in bed, pretending to be asleep, was agony.

Each breath had to be calculated and measured, her expression carefully kept blank, any urge to move in a manner a sleeping Helen most decidedly would not crushed...

For this was a game far more dangerous than the simple hunting of prey—If she were to be caught leaving the house, her act would have to become increasingly complicated to compensate, in turn, making it harder to escape.

So, Hela forced herself to bide her time, counting breaths and heartbeats until at last... the house was silent.

She waited a few moments more, then risked opening her eyes with a flutter of eyelashes befitting a princess, pushing up halfway on her arms.

At the sight of the silhouette cast on her window, she broke into an unintended smirk and rose from the bed, pausing just a moment to lock the bedroom door before she approached her upside-down visitor.

Hela gave him an amused look through the glass that seemed to say ‘Enjoying yourself?’ and begun to open the window.

A quiet hum of amusement escaped her, almost a purr.

“In that case, tempting as your offer may be... I’ll have to decline, for the doctor may very well hang us both if I were to distress her darling Ethan in such a manner...” There was a mischievous twinkle in her eyes. “Though I suppose disappearing without a trace after being gone for so long can’t be much better... At least a kidnapper would give him a target.”

"Not to worry. This bandit has stashed away the treasure in a secret locale known only to fellow rapscallions," he replied, taking especial pleasure in drawing out the slight roll of the "r" in the last word.

He took off his waistcoat and threaded it between his belt and trousers, tying it in a knot to secure it.

This done, he changed his form to that of "Edward", cracking a few joints as he settled into it.

"Ready when you are," he purred with a sly look and a knowing smile.

“I’ve got the door if you’ve got the window,” She replied easily enough, allowing her gaze to linger on him for just a moment before returning her attention to the task at hand.

He certainly looks like a fellow resident of a Hell—I see how he got his nicknames, Hela thought to herself, rather pleased at having finally found another who wouldn’t be so prone to crumbling at the slightest whiff of danger.

After pressing her ear to the door to listen for anyone who might still be up and wandering the halls, Hela slowly unlocked the door, taking a quiet step back from it as her thoughts turned to the frightened cry she was supposed to give to start off their little act.

Hm, this may be an issue, She thought, casting a brief glance to Weir, Surrounded as I may be with the fear of others... Haven’t felt it much myself. A twitch of a sly grin. Ah, well, time for the doctor’s memories, then.

Eventually, Hela settled on a time she could recall when Helen’s own friend had turned against her, the ensuing violence producing more than a few suitable sounds.

Now to make one of my own...

She shut her eyes, filled her lungs... and let out what was likely her very first piercing scream of terror, a noise she’d never expected to make nor one she looked forward to replicating again.

It’s so very dull when it’s your own shrieks filling the air...

Elsewhere in the house, her cry had caught the attention of more than a few residents, particularly that of Helen’s fiancé who’d unintentionally dozed off in an armchair downstairs.

As she shut her eyes, Weir wrapped his hand in the drapery by the window and partially raised the latter.

As she filled her lungs, he used his wrapped fist to punch out a pane of glass.

The scream followed with perfect timing.

Quickly, he unwrapped his hand and raised the window fully, making it look as if he'd kicked it in and then unlocked it to enter Helen's room.

As she finished, he slammed into the door as if to block her escape, careful to make the impact loud enough that the other members of the household would hear.

"Hush!" his voice came out a harsh, gravelly, disconcerting thing. "Flee me, will you?" he accused as he clapped his hands once to create the auditory effect of a slap. "We'll see about that!"

He approached Hela and gently rested his hands upon her upper arms, as if he'd been shaking Helen.

Another sharp cry came from her after the clap, this time in seeming pain, the sound of one being struck familiar enough to her as she grasped his intent in the span of a heartbeat.

When Weir drew closer, she smirked and raised an eyebrow, glancing from his hands to his face in a playful manner even as a stumbling outpour of pleas and whimpers escaped her.

“P-Please, h-have m-m-mercy!”

There was a great deal of noise as people came rushing up the stairs and towards Helen’s room, moments away from barging in.

“Helen!” cried Ethan over the clamoring of the servants, “Whoever you are, demon, stay away from her!”

" Then I think that settles it then. "

Utterson got up and and bid the others to follow.

" We should have enough time till it gets truly dark to get there. "

A touch of worry flashed in Richard's eyes which he swiftly laid to rest.

" Well, Soho shouldn't be too terrible before seven. Still, since this is Soho we're talking about, I say we shouldn't linger too long past say...seven thirty? "

He looked to Lewis.

" You know the place well enough right? Will there be any worry about suspicious going ons? "

" Richard, please! I'm sure Lewis wouldn't have suggested it in the first place if he felt it would be a risk going there. "

" Yes, but I'm still free to worry aren't I? "

The lawyer snickered at a mildly flustered Enfield before patting his arm.

" You're free to worry all you like. Just don't start till we've finished dinner.

His only reply was a snort and a smile, his kin rolling his eyes.

" Alright then. But you have to promise to listen to begin with. "

"Have no fear;" Weir reassured them, "we'll be perfectly safe in Soho. Even were it midnight, we'd be fine--I know the place like the back of my hand, and would never guide you down the wrong street at the wrong time. Besides," he said with a smile, "'tis not exactly the East End."

Soho seemed somehow...better than the last time Utterson and Enfield had frequented it. Yes, there were still grubby children and an excess of foreigners, but the place itself seemed somehow more...orderly. Congenial. Less dangerous.

A woman passing into a nearby restaurant gave Weir a wave, which he returned before they continued on their separate ways.

It wasn't long before he, Richard, and Gabriel were seated at a table at Kettner's. True to its reputation, it provided a marvelous selection of wine, cognac, and sundry French delicacies.

The three had soon put in their orders and received their drinks. Before long, the first course arrived.

"What that play was," opined Lewis between bites of escargots, "was a satire par excellence. It took all the schmaltz and angst of those regrettable melodramas and amplified them to the point of sheer absurdity. Moreover, it incorporated some of the worst music and most common tropes from those trite little penny operas, all to purposefully egregious effect. It was, in short, a parody of two genres, packed into one intentionally risible play."

He took a bite of duck off his fork and pointed at him.

" Parody, however legitimate it may be, is not an excuse for poor quality. Pointing at your flaws is not as good as fixing them.

I should know, of all people. "

Enfield dug his knife into piece of potato and played with it, feeling its weight before eating it.

Gabriel, meanwhile, was immensely enjoying himself with his Baekeoffe, savoring its flavor with each mouthful.

The sound of a door click and the soft drum of footsteps cut his concentration. Behind them, a trio of princely, fiendish, men chatted among themselves, gossiping about the latest dirt on this and that, making jokes at their expense.

Gabriel gave only a curious glance and let them be, but Enfield's focus shifted onto them ever briefly, decoding their appearance and behavior with a coy eye before turning back and finding his place again.

" Well anyway, What I'm saying is that you'd have to at least do the bare minimum if you want to slip into the middle class pockets... "

I suppose we'll simply have to agree to disagree.

Weir was about to voice the thought when he noticed the foppish trio enter the establishment. He'd not seen them about Soho before.

He did, however, catch their conversation. The three toffs wasted no time in denigrating the dress, manners, and looks of the people already in the restaurant. They lauded each other over their (to their minds) clever commentary, each seeking to outdo the other.

"# You wish. Looks like he's just on the edge of it anyways. #"

"({ I don't blame him. Look at the other one. How could anyone think they could get away with blue and cream for a formal suit? })"

"X A blind man that's what. X"

The group shared a conceited chuckled.

"# And then there's the lone man is that little pool of fat over there. #"

"X Let's hope he's a place to himself for tonight. Otherwise, he's stuck riding with them. X"

Another laugh.

Lewis finished the last escargot, biting down on it far harder than was necessary.

He wiped his mouth clean.

"Excuse me a moment, won't you?" he asked rhetorically as he rose from his chair...and sauntered over to the trio of fops.

"Pardon me, gentlemen," he cut in with a genial smile, "but I couldn't help but overhear your banter. Now, I'm all for good fun, don't get me wrong." He leaned in conspiratorially, as if he were doing them a favor. "But it occurs to me you may not know whom you insult. Were I you, I'd take my leave post haste rather than risk offending my...associates...any further. This is not precisely the best part of town," he lowered his voice to just above a whisper, "and one never knows who may be connected with the criminal element, mm?" He glanced between the toffs and the door in a manner that suggested they ought to get out while the getting was good.

He straightened and addressed them at normal volume.

"Good night, gentlemen. Do get home safely."

The three were skeptical at first, very put off by the interruption, but that all soon dropped at the deadly implication of his words. The seeming leader of their posse went to snap back but stumbled on his words when, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Enfield smirk.

For a moment there was confusion, the next concern. Finally, when Enfield turned to get Utterson's attention, a cold shiver ran up his spine, and soon enough he was ushering his group back out the door.

After the door clicked behind them, Richard laughed openly, leaning back with a grin.

Gabriel hid a smile behind his hand, happy enough that the fops didn't linger. All that was left of them was a small discarded paper that had fallen from one of their pockets.

He wagered it wouldn't be too long before the leader found the card of one "Dr. Nick Lewsome" in his pocket, along with a small, labeled sample vial of said doctor's "Extraordinary Elixir for the Discerning Dilettante".

The scrap turned out to be an ad for a new little den on the other side of town, offering both opium and hemp for little money.

Richard nudged Weir's shoulder as he took his seat.

" Fine show there Lewis! They looked spooked for sure. "

" Well I don't think he had to scare them off, but I appreciate it regardless. "

Women, Drink, and More...

House Specialty Opium and Marijuana...

Private and Public Rooms Available. Open during Weekdays...

He mentally ran the address through his mind's map, marking it near a more well off shopping district.

After a beat he handed the ad back.

" Well, it's certainly suspicious enough. I don't think it's his, but it's highly likely he might've helped fund the place.

If I were to say anything, I'd say get a man in there before deciding anything. "

" Night. "

A beat. A murmur.

" Thanks for everything you've done for us... "

Enfield was quick to nestle into bed, followed by a happy Utterson, each laying their minds to rest and drift into sleep.

Gabriel, in his happiness, dreamt of flowering fields and bright days, his heart the dark, rich earth whose heart beat was the colorful life that sprang forth. And to a faceless sky, he sang with the rustle of trees and the chatter of birds and open windy fields where horses and rabbits ran.

Should anyone watch the man, they would've seen a soft smile make itself known.

On the other hand, Enfield dreamt of shadowy corridors, grey walls, and his feet crossing over the silver line over and over again. The thick smoky air tried to fill his lungs, tempting him to lay in their comforting lap once again. Voices of past conversations could be heard as he wandered the impossible space, wandering its halls in vague search of an exit, or even an entrance.

These dreams, both bright and dark, would cling to their minds long after their sleep and come back over the days to come.

Despite this though, each of the cousins got on well, and all seemed fine for a time.

Gabriel took on another case and was off meeting his

client and gathering information again, and soon enough Richard was

given the freedom to leave and go about town. He was allowed a small

sum of money and a general time to be back, but that's all he needed.

Desirae soon started dancing on her new stage, with Richard and Gabriel in attendance and Florine was getting on fantastically at Mrs. Sutton's, making her mark as a prodigious waitress and learner. The two managed to find themselves a reasonable apartment around the edge of Soho, and with a little help from Utterson, settled in quickly.

It was all good news till Richard, struck by a sudden temptation, let himself fall again into the lull of opium. It was only a matter of three days before he slipped back into dangerous territory, and Desirae, Gabriel, and Florine could do little except call Lewis back into action.

From there, it was a strict schedule of shots and tending too, a whole months worth, before the poor man could be granted basic house freedoms again. This was more than a sobering experience for Richard, and he made himself promise not to touch the stuff again. It was a semi successful promise, with the hiccup here and there, but he kept at it, and in doing so, solidified his resolve to change.

Ezekiel sighed and went to sit down in a chair. Immediately, he began thinking about how to get back into the Society.

I could try to find a cure for something and prove that I can help people.

But then I don't have anywhere to work.

I could try and persuade Dr Helen that I can stay.

But she seemed certain when she dismissed me. I doubt she'd change her mind.

What about the man who sold me the sample? Dr Helen had shown interest in locating him. Maybe I could try to track him down instead? I mean, I've seen him before. I could recognise him on sight...

He opened up the box of pastries that Millie had given him.

MillieGriffin Pyrogue • 9 days ago

Since Millie didn't know his preference there was one of everything, tarts, Danishes, puff pastries, scones, cakes, muffins, and pocket pies both sweet and savory.

He smiled and took one.

To find the dealer who’d sold him the sample of the virus, he would need to visit the bar he’d first met the man in.

He finished the box of pastries and stood up, grabbing his coat and getting ready to go out.

As it turned out, Lewis, too, had decided to go look for the seller. Weir'd tried to locate him the previous night, but to no avail.
