LANYON?!

But seriously though, something in the back of my brain always told me that Lanyon was the real villain in this comic...but I was NOT expecting THAT!

What a twist!

[It seems that  has some sort of time-defying power, seeing how the Carolina Shag wasn't created until the late 1930's. Is this true?]

A frown creased his brow as George watched her step, and the man remained standing in place.

"Forgive me if I misunderstood, but I was under the impression you had agreed to... not proceed with this lesson of yours."

You mean you DON'T want to learn to shag?

"Then... I pray you won't mind terribly if I... slip away to do so?"

Hesitance born of his fear to offend her flickered in his eyes.

"Though of course, you're more than welcome to join me--I was merely going to try and do a little tour of sorts."

I appreciate your patience very, very much. I should be responding regularly from now on.

'"You're more than welcome to stop by, if you wish," He offered in response to Elias' comment, suddenly moving to check the pockets of his jacket, pants, and waistcoat, "I have the address."

Elias spoke of his specialty and George's frantic search seemed to settle to a smooth halt.

"Ah, the study of the Heavens... A marvelous topic, that." His gaze grew misty with emotion. "It is quite the shame you haven't been able to pursue it of late. I would certainly mourn the loss of research time myself." ))

Elias gave a slight bow of his head. "I suppose I can't complain. I'd much rather focus on things necessitating my attention than allow myself to become blind. It is a pity, though."

There was a momentary lapse of silence, one where he cleared his throat as they emerged into the fantastical foyer of the Society. After another moment or so, he frowned. "Oh, I detracted, I think. Your bookshop?"

George reached inside his waistcoat, pulling a small rectangular piece of paper from one of its pockets.

"I'd completely forgotten--Here, if you'll take this," He offered card to Elias, "It will hopefully be aid enough, should you wish to visit."

The business card read:

The bird flapped down on the body they had left on the stairs. “I guess we could start with waking the doctor up” It tapped on his forehead with its beak. “It’d be just perfect if he’s too concussed to be of any use” remarked the fox.))

The fox picked up the wine bottle from where it had rolled next to the wall. She poured a few drops of the remaining contents on the doctor’s lips. His eyelids flickered, then opened wide in fright. He grasped Asmodeus’ arm, not quite strong enough yet to push it of him. “Wha-who - what do you want?!”

“Well, it’s a little bit hungry now. I don’t think it’s happy about being locked up.”

Asmodeus dragged the man a little closer to the thing.

“Would you like to help us put it back where it’s supposed to be? If you don’t want to, that’s fine. I’d be happy to stop it from eating me. I think one human would be a nice snack for it, don’t you?”

The man’s fingers dug into Asmodeus’ arms like claws. The tendrils lightly brushed against his body, a few of them sticking to him.

“Please, please don’t let it touch me!”

((Forgive the delay. I have been somewhat bewildered by trying to decipher a message from a very curious being... or at least, a being about whom I am very curious - whether the being is curious about me I couldn't say. I think you know them?

Would you mind making the first move in the story? I find myself short of ideas and also unsure where I would find your character. And mine is probably not at the Society herself at the moment - she's been away for months and when she comes back I want there to be some reason for it, which I'm currently too tired to think up.))

((Hello! You didn't start so I did - hope that's OK.))

Isabella was in Dover seeing off a friend. They had admired the cliffs, talked execrable French at each other "for practice" and given it up in despair, discussed various things they'd each heard were infallible cures for sea-sickness, the friend had boarded the steamer and Miss Walker was left wandering at a loose end.

Dover had ideas of being a seaside resort in the season, but in late November she almost had the place to herself. The young woman, apparently made of sterner stuff than the average tripper, had wandered along the beach for a while, until the light began to fail and even she had to admit that it was getting freezing and made her way back into the town. It was starting to rain.

A sign caught her eye: bookshop. Now that was more like it. She ducked gratefully inside.

"It was a few years ago, near to the start of fall, and I was running my shop as usual when my assistant came in for her usual shift and--"

George suddenly halted in his story, blinking.

"Oh dear, I suppose I haven't told you about Miss Margaret, have I?" ))

Richard tilted his head as if in thought.

"No, I do not believe you have. You are welcome to, however," he added with a smile.

"Well, she is quite the splendid young lady, quite splendid indeed!"

George portrayed the eagerness of one preparing to tell another about their beloved grandchild, and the fondness of it, too.

"Miss Margaret works most afternoons at my bookshop, and God bless her soul, she is a gift from the Heavens." He cast his gaze briefly skyward, clasping his hands together. "I never would be able to manage running the place without her aid-- She's simply perfect with the customers and takes care of every little thing when she's around."

"Don' think he noticed me overmuch. I remember Callum crushing some chick an' some lad's head like a pair o' eggs in a dingy room. That sticks out the most.

Errack became visibly interested hearing this.

His claws scratched against the tree bark as he leaned in close, his eyes bright with a sly hunger. Tapping a claw on his beak, he took a moment to think before asking his next question.

" Did it seem like more than a dream? Did it feel like a cell or a reality of its own?

At what point did it end? Did he notice you were there? "

His three foot curled its claws, unconsciously teasing at some unseen force.

" Please remember if you can. I need everything I can get. "

The witch cast a glance down the way she was supposed to go and strut down towards the back of the library, her unseen heels clicking neatly and rhythmically on the wood floor. Before she was out of sight though, she threw one last veiled, conceited glance at Millie and a lascivious set of bedroom eyes to Griffin.

In her absence came a discomfort, like she was just some spirit who'd passed through.

MillieGriffin:

"What!? No! It probably just got loose from a carriage or something!" Griffin protested.

The horse seemed intent to prove the headless figure wrong by nuzzling it's muzzle against him. Despite Griffin pushing him back the horse's affection wouldn't waver.

"Get away!...Here!" He pushed Millie in-between him and the animal, "have a real animal person!"

While the house was distracted by some sugar cubes from Millie, the headless man walked up to the mothlady.

"Can we please get on with this?"

Right! Ok! So there are multiple ways of getting to the Underworld! The mirror in my room, the sewer system, and a super special way only available on Halloween. Seening as to how we can't fit in the dumbwaiter and my skylight can only be unlocked from the inside...way one is out. We can take the sewer system if you want, it'll take about an hour of trudging around in raw sewage and noxious gases before getting there.

But I think all of us would prefer option #3. It's much more fun AND it gets us there instantly!

Ok, ok! But the monsters do the same thing every year! Except they have a magical powder that turns their kids into humans! They then spend the night in the human world, returning to the Underworld and turning back to normal at sunrise! I'm sure that if we just go around, scaring people, particularly kids and teens, then we'll run into some monsters that can help us get to the Underworld!

Before Mz. Hyde could say "Whaddaya say? Want to scare the shit out of some kids?"

Griffin had already spun around and went back to the black stallion. The first time he tried to mount it he put the wrong foot in the stirrup and had to get back down to fix the error but with some effort he was on properly.

"Millie, get me that pumpkin, will you?"

The little pluage doctor obliged the headless horseman with a nice head-sized pumpkin.

"Ah, perfect! Are you going to be able to keep up?"

Millie silently nodded, for her keeping pace with a horse would be nothing to her.

"Excellent! Then we're off!" declared Griffin as he unsheathed his saber.

With a click of Griffin's heels the horse reared back with a winny, which almost made Griffin fall off, then it took off down the street as fast as a champion racer. Millie could easily keep up with them as she watched her uncle swing his saber above his invisible head laughing and shouting like a manic madman.
