The Story So Far: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?searchall=hellborn
Character Sheet: http://pastebin.com/rNg3Yw8m (picture included)

“So, wait,” you say, following through the implications. “Does that mean your dad’s a Hellion too?”

Moriah gives you a deadpan look from deep within her eye-sockets, though there’s a humored light in her eye. “I would hope so, if he really is our father,” she replies. That odd, coarse quality in her voice is still throwing you off a little.

“We are the real deal. One-hundred percent Hellion, born and raised,” Wolfgang chips in. "You know, except we grew up here, not Hel'drath."


Your friend regards you carefully for a second. Though, eventually a shift in her posture reveals that she’s baffled – you can’t really take cues from her facial expression, since her real face is a lot less expressive than her fake human face. “But what are you, Sierra?” asks Moriah. “I don’t think I’ve seen horns like yours before. Or eyes like yours. Or really anything like anything of yours, really, ever before. You’re at least part Belphegoran, right? That would explain how you can pass for a human without a glamor big enough that I would have seen it straight off.”

“It’s a long story,” you say noncommittally.
>>
>>33295612

“We’ve got time,” Wolfgang says, checking his watch. It’s some classy silver thing, like you’d expect. “I’ve been wondering the same thing since I saw you, but it would’ve been rude to ask.”

>Yeah, it kind of still is rude to ask.
>I’m like, half human, half demon, so like, hellborn, but then I’m also like, all this other stuff too.
> I don’t know if this has any bearing on what I look like, but I’m a landmaster too.
>Is it like, regular to call everybody with some demon blood in them a demon? Because sometimes people call me hellborn, and sometimes people just call me a demon.
>Well, this is pretty damn cool. Let’s celebrate demonhood for life by partying until somebody dies.
>Hold on a second. If you're all hellions and stuff, how'd your family wind up here and not, you know, in the fiery depths of hell?

I am not really comfortable talking all about this to Wolfgang. We don't even know the guy yet. Besides, tehre is a party waiting us right there. We can talk to Moriah about it sometime later.
>>
I know this is pointless of me to say but, don't go telling everything to these people maybe?

lets definitely avoid telling them we're a landmaster straight off the bat. We can tell it to Moirah later but we don't really know Wolfgang that well

Hope we got legit non badguy demon friends.

Crowley being Meckor would be super lame.
>>
>>33296193
I highly doubt that.
>>
>>33296193
Well, they're pure Hellion and Meckor is an Infernus-Hellion hybrid, so we should be good. Still pretty funny that Isaac's been unwittingly working for a demon, though. Since everyone at game night's a known demon now, wonder if Papa Crowther would be alright with everyone dropping the glamours. Probably not, considering how prim and proper he is.
>>
>>33295649
I dunno about the landmaster stuff for now. I mean, Sierra doesn't exactly seem like one to not brag about cool stuff like that to her friends, but it doesn't really seem relevant to this we are the demons conversation. I'd be fine with saying what mix of demons we are and that we're hellborn and maybe say that dad wasn't exactly a normal human either.

>>
>>33295649
Is Moriah still showing normal human health? Or are we getting something different from Sense Weakness now that she dropped the glamour?

>>33296261
I don't think we've seen anything to indicate either way whether we got our Landmaster heritage from our Mom or our Dad.

Either one is possible, for all we know they could have both been Landmasters. But we can't definitively say that our Dad wasn't a normal human, presumably with some level of magical talent.

>>33296251
Are we sure unwittingly? Perhaps, though you'd think the US Marshal for San Francisco would be on the up-and-up with the US Magister for San Francisco, but perhaps Crowley has been wary of Isaac and his lineage, like a sort of reverse-racism. "Oh, he's half angel? Well fuck him, I'm not telling him anything."
>>
>>33295649
>>33296611
Definitely throw this in
>>
>>33296611
Tweedy didn't. And Isaac didn't guess, he saw us use a belphegoran power.

I'm pretty sure nobody has identified us as part belphegoran just by looking at us before unless im forgetting something.
>>
>>33296968
Harvey looked at us and went "Black claws? Not red? Ok. Some kind of belphegoran-infernus mix" when we came over.
>>
>>33296861
>reverse racism
No such thing. It's racism whether the victim is horny or heavenly. I agree with the rest of what you're saying though. Papa C is a private man. De-man.

“Well I’m not totally a demon I suppose,” you say, kind of surprised at this topic of conversation. It’s not really something you’ve ever had occasion to talk to somebody about. “I mean, I’m hellborn, like, fifty-fifty. And yeah, I have some Belphegoran in me, but I also have some Infernus and uh… some… other stuff, too, so I guess I’m kind of a mutt,” you explain. You’re not against saying you’re part Verwelken, but that’s kind of a complicated subject apparently.

“We’re not dogs, Sierra,” Moriah tells you firmly. “Don’t call yourself that.”

You kind of smirk at that. “What, a mutt?”

She narrows her eyes slightly at the word. “Just say you’re a mix. Or a cross,” she says.

“Or a hybrid, for when you want to take pride in it,” Wolfgang adds drolly.

Talking about your heritage with people you think are okay and who also probably understand where you’re coming from gets you thinking of some stuff you’ve been curious about, lately. “Speaking of which,” you begin, “I mean, is it regular for people to call you a demon if you’re a hellborn? Because pretty much everybody says I’m a demon when I’m looking all demony.”

Wolfgang takes a second to examine you. “You do look demonic,” he informs you. His gaze lingers on your head. “Especially with your horns. Honestly, they...” he takes a moment to choose his words “suit you very well.“
>>
>>33297088

You feel like he wanted to say something different, if only for a second, but Moriah speaks before you can probe him about it. “I wouldn’t have guessed you were hellborn by looking at you,” says Moriah. “When you’re not suppressing it, your aura radiates with demonic power. It’s like you’re going to explode.”

You laugh nervously at the statements. “Wouldn’t that be something,” you say. “Personally, like, you guys being demons and stuff – this is pretty damn cool. And, you know, like, it’s so cool, maybe we should celebrate our demons for life status by like, dancing it up until somebody drops dead.” It’s not like the music’s been letting off for while you’ve all been mucking about outside in the cold when you could be actually doing what you paid for.

Moriah glances back at the building. “Right – the rave,” she says. You can tell she’s not too enthusiastic about the idea.

Wolfgang laughs at his sister. “Don’t be like that. Sierra’s one of the most stylish people in there, and your only reasonable complaint coming over here was that you didn’t know anybody. So with that excuse invalidated, you’re going to have a great time.”

“Seriously,” you say, smiling. “This is actually a pretty cool thing they’re doing here. So, you know, let your hood down and like, get your dance muscles revved up, because like, you’re doing this.”
>>
>>33297115
>When you’re not suppressing it, your aura radiates with demonic power.
Huh. I guess that's a thing.
>>
>>33297115
Moriah sighs. “Fine, let me put my face back on,” she say, a tinge of reluctance in her words. She closes her eyes briefly and waves her fingers over her face. You notice that her fingers look normal, despite the lack of illusions on her head. You suspect they’re covered by a separate glamor that can be raised or lowered separately.

In a brief moment, Moriah looks human once again, though with the makeup and dyed hair to look like Raven.

“Let’s go,” says Wolfgang, ushering her back toward the building while you follow behind.

But what, exactly, will you do when you get back inside? You feel good. Really good. This whole thing with Moriah is a big relief, and like you said, it calls for celebration. (-10 Stress: 9/100)

BEYOND THE IMPOSSIBLE.

Also, does makeup persist between glamors? So let's say you put your glamor back on after tonight. Will we still have makeup on our humany face? Will the makeup be on our face when we drop the glamor again? [Spoiler]because that sounds like a great way to keep your makeup from running[/spoiler]

I wonder if we can convince Moriah that freaking people out by dropping the glamour under her hood and letting people catch a glimpse of it. We can point out that no one here knows who she is under the costume, and it'll be utterly hilarious.

Try to teach Moriah how to dance if she doesn't already know. And if we have any good chances to flirt with Wolfy, take them, though don't go too over the top, especially with his sister right by him.
>>
>Introduce the Crowthers to your other friends.
>Show Moriah how to have a good time.

We should let them know that Rowan is cool to mention stuff around, but the others don't know about stuff like us.

I wonder what Moriahs reaction to our life story so far is gonna be, especially that part where we didn't even know what we were until a few months ago or that there were others like us.

Also seeing how well-adjusted Moriah and Wolfgang seem I'm starting to think our unstable childhood is more to blame for our anger and violence than our demonic heritage.

We're not really normal in the demonic department, though.

Yeah, we're not sure if anyone dedicated to magical research would pressure us into letting them investigate. We don't like scissors; how are we with needles?
>>
>>33297370
>>33297409
I think they are, actually. Between the no sunlight and insanity- which judging from our power selection affects full blown verwalken too, I'd hazard a guess that they are not well thought of.
>>
>>33297507
The way Cordeliate and others talked about them seemed to imply that they are either rare, bugfuck crazy, incredibly dangerous to deal with/find, or some combination of those.

The way the Hallows explained them before they knew we are one also kinda points to all of the above. They whole "If they don't want you to see them, you won't see them. Just don't go out in the dark." thing was fucking spooky.

You lead Draco and Raven over to the group. “Hey, it’s devil chick and Malfoy!” shouts the cop from the village people. There’s a round of cheers.

Your friends look over, and you go up and greet them, then step aside to present the Crowthers. “Everybody, Moriah and Wolfgang – couple of my friend people. Anyway, Batgirl’s Rowan, Tron’s Baron, and Lucy’s Vikrama.”

“You snuck off to do a dance off?” asks Baron, sounding put out. “I’ve only seen the video like, five times since you disappeared.”

“Already posted it to Facebook,” Vikrama adds cheerfully, giving you a thumbs up.

“Uh. Thanks?” you say.

“Finally, my lifelong dream of being in a video on the internet has come true,” says Wolfgang.

“Hi Moriah,” says Rowan, leaving Red Hood to his misguided sense of justice for the time being in order to meet your people. “So you’re the one Sierra’s always hanging out with at school?”

Moriah peers out at Ro from under her hood. “She says embarrassing things about you behind your back,” she says flatly.

Rowan looks over at you, surprised. “What?”

You have no trouble finding a diversion. You jerk a thumb upward, drawing attention to the fact the song has just changed to a way funky intro beat. [Music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NV6Rdv1a3I] “We can’t waste a song like this! Quick, everybody dance!”
>>
>>33298605

“Roger that, dance commander,” Baron says, immediately launching into a string of purposefully lame dance maneuvers. Even Moriah has to suppress a smile when he gets to his overly effeminate rendition of the Hoedown Throwdown. Anyway, you follow your own advice and get moving, dancing it up (while keeping it tame) to help her into the swing of things.

Wolfgang does his own thing, sliding and gliding around and generally being a spectacle. He gets some energy back into the group while Rowan and the Red Hood go back to their thing and varied peoples gather around to join in the fun.
>>
>>33298637

After awhile, even Moriah can’t keep still anymore, and she starts dancing, albeit stiffly. Whatever – it’ll wear off. There’s too much movement out here to remain still once you get going. Seeing everyone having a good time, Wolfgang takes the opportunity to bow out – you get the sense he doesn’t want everything to be revolving around him while his sister’s around, and striking out on his own also has the added advantage of giving her the opportunity to meet people.

Anyway, Vikrama and her pirate buddy are kind of dancing along with Moriah now, and you’re not quite so much the center of attention that you would be otherwise, so you figure she’ll be good if you decide to tap out.

Languid is kill
>>
>>33299777
Languid is in a perpetual state of kill and unkill. He's like the grass beneath your above-ground pool, you don't know if he's still green or if he's become brown until you move the pool.

>>33299777
Languid is Lawn

Time is meaningless.

Hours pass, probably, and even you’re getting tired, which is no easy feat. All kinds of stuff happens in the meantime. People take breaks and you have shouted conversations about life, the universe, and how great this party is. You Nathan abandons dancing in favor of flirting with Snow White. Vikrama’s dress gets caught in a knight’s plate armor and gets a huge rip in it. The DJ actually throws on YMCA and pretty much half of everybody forms up on the village people and does the dance. Baron’s batteries run out. When Rowan disappears to get ‘air’ at the same time Red Hood does, you egg Moriah into going full-demon face and scaring the crap out of passersby.

Even so, however, the lateness of the hour eventually does begin to show. The rave mob begins thinning out. You and your friends are taking a break, sitting out on the sidelines. You feel pretty much satisfied with how your life is going at this instant. (-25 Stress: -16/100)

When Wolfgang shows up, looking exhausted, everyone else is your group’s in much worse shape. Except, you know, Rowan, because reasons. Red Hood has had enough to take off his mask, and while you believe his party has left, he’s mysteriously chosen to stay awhile longer for some reason.

Wolfgang drops by and sits beside Moriah. “I’m ready to go if you’re ready to go,” he says.

Moriah’s leaning back with her eyes lightly closed. “Yes,” she says. Her voice has gone hoarse from excessive screaming.
>>
>>33300102

Reluctantly, he stands up and offers a hand to Moriah. She takes it, and he pulls her to her feet. “All right everybody,” he says, turning to you and your posse. “This is one for the books. Drive safe.”

“You too, brother,” says Nathan, giving him some respect.

Wolfgang points a knowing finger at him.

“Man, Nate, I forbid you to ever say those words in that combination again,” Baron says.

Vikrama waves farewell. “Goodbye, Moriah,” she says.

“See you peeps later,” you say, giving Wolfgang and Moriah a tired smile.

“Not if we see you first,” says Wolfgang, adding in a sly wink.

Moriah gives you a weary smile, and then shuffles off with her brother.

A couple minutes go by, while Red Hood and Ro chat it up. They’re laughing too much to be healthy.

Baron looks to the door where the Crowthers went out. “They had the right idea,” he says in realization. “We going or what?”

He’s right. It’s late. Everybody’s tired. You’re tired. And people are leaving in droves. The apex of the event has long since passed. “Yeah yeah,” you say, rubbing the back of your neck. “Just hold on a second.”
>>
>>33300118

It takes a while, but your group eventually grinds into motion and heads toward the door. As you go, however, your cell goes off in your jacket pocket. Surprised you remembered to charge it before leaving, you pull it out, frown at the obtuse time on the screen, and then piece together enough wits to read the name thereon.

EDWARD CULLIN.

You answer it. “Y’ello,” you say, followed by a gaping yawn.

Waldric’s voice comes over the phone. He sounds strained. “Didn't think you'd be awake," he says, frustration at the back of his voice. "I know where he is. You need to get here as soon as possible.”

The ‘he’ almost certainly refers to Meckor. Oh man. It’s almost enough to ruffle your feathers, but tonight’s been pretty good to you. It slides off your wall of chill and fatigue. (+3 Stress: -13/100)

>You're calling me at two AM.
>Ugh. Can’t you just… tell me over the phone?
>Call Isaac. I can’t do anything right now.
>One… two PM tomorrow afternoon’s the soonest. Make that two thirty.

"How long do we have before he changes locations or starts up a mini-apocalypse?

And call Issac, it's probably going to be a long night for all of us."

Get Rowan's attention. Maybe try to talk to her alone. Make up something, Rowan might have an idea, have Baron take Vikrama home.
>>
>>33300178
>>Where’s ‘here’?
>>I’m on my way.
"Ro, we got a family emergency to take care of."
>>
You’re too tired to complain. “Where’s ‘here’?” you ask.

He gives you an address that isn’t too far off from where you are now, along with an apartment number. “I’ll meet you there,” he says.

“I’m coming right now,” you say. “How long do we have till he moves or like, does the invasion thing?”

“Just don’t keep me waiting,” says Waldric. You can hear a note of panic in his voice. You can feel it. This must be the real deal.

“Okay, but call Isaac, got it? He’ll – he’ll know what to do, okay?” you tell him.

“I will,” he says. “But don’t bring anybody to this address. I’d like to keep a few things just between the two of us.”

Ugh. You’re tired of doing this stupid clandestine routine again. Still, you don’t want to waste time right now. “Just – just be there, okay?” you say. “I’m on my way.”

“Goodbye, Sakherith,” he says. Then Waldric hangs up on you. You really wish he’d stop doing that.

Well. You have to figure this out. Vikrama drove you here. You don't have transportation without her. You could go to the address on foot if you really had to, though.

>He said not to bring anybody to his address. Maybe you should just… disappear and get there on your own? What if it’s important?
>Inform Rowan as to the situation and consult with her.
>Make up some excuse as to why you need to ditch your friends. (?)

Someone has been investigating us.

>>33301003

I smell a trap Ro's coming with us

Send Vikrama and Baron home

>>33301003
>He said not to bring anybody to his address. Maybe you should just… disappear and get there on your own? What if it’s important?

Just tell Rowan before you go then head out.
>>
>>33301043
Wasn't "Sakherith" the demon word for blood that he saved on his phone and "Sakheris" Sierra's true name?"
I may be wrong.
>>
>>33301003
>He said not to bring anybody to his address. Maybe you should just… disappear and get there on your own? What if it’s important?
>>
>>33301043
>>33301075
Or it's because we told him to call us "Blood" and he figured it sounds less retarded in demonspeak.
>>
>>33301003
>Inform Rowan as to the situation and consult with her.
>Make up some excuse as to why you need to ditch your friends. (?)
>How does one get from here to there? (?)
>Waldric’s calling Isaac, but maybe you should have Ro call Isaac too.

So, we talk to Ro, come up with an excuse for us to not go back with them, maybe claiming we're staying with someone in the area or something like that. Ro calls Issac and he'll come out somewhere nearby to pick us up afterwards.

>>33301043
Back when we first met we told him to call us "Blood", our old gang name, which more or less translates to "Sakherith" in Heltic so he calls us that. Our actual name is Sakheris.
>>
>>33301003
>Tell Rowan privately that something "work related" came up.
>Make up some excuse as to why you need to ditch your friends. (?)
"I'll just crash at an ex's place, see you guys later."
>Head to the locale on foot.
>>
>>33301003
>Inform Rowan as to the situation and consult with her.
>Waldric’s calling Isaac, but maybe you should have Ro call Isaac too.

Something seems odd here.
>>
>>33301003
>Inform Rowan as to the situation and consult with her.
>Waldric’s calling Isaac, but maybe you should have Ro call Isaac too.
>Head to the locale on foot.

>>33301043
He didn't. Its the nickname he gave us after we told him him to call us Blood. It's only similar to our name,
>>
>>33301003
>He said not to bring anybody to his address. Maybe you should just… disappear and get there on your own? What if it’s important?

Well, it seems kind of closely tied, so let's simplify options.

1. Consult with Rowan, call Isaac.
2. Be discreet. It may be important.

Choose. Five minutes. No post quoting. Number only. Go.

You stuff your phone back into your pocket and hurry up toward Rowan. Thankfully Red Hood has taken leave, and you don’t have to try to be too covert. “Something’s up,” you say, getting her attention. You rehearse the conversation you just had with Waldric with Ro, keeping it down so nobody overhears.

Rowan’s expression becomes fierce. “I’m coming with you,” she says. “Anything he can say to you, he can say to me. And plus this is like, the sketchiest meeting idea ever – middle of the night, no warning, and he wants you to come alone, right now? It’s totally a trap, Sierra.”

“Okay we’ll figure that out,” you say hastily. You’re not certain if you want her coming along with you or not. “Just like, call Isaac first.”

Rowan pulls out her cellphone, but before she answers, it rings. She answers. “I was just about to call you,” she says. “Did you hear?” A pause. “We’re going there right now.” Another pause. “Look, no, I don’t need Altheopher, okay?” She pauses, but only for a second. “Shut up, Dad! I’m Angelkin, I do more crap than just swinging swords around.” And then she hangs up, seething with anger.

“What?” you ask. “He tell you not to come with me?”
>>
The lawn has taken him from us again.
>>
>>33302539

“No,” Ro shoots back, “he was just being all, be careful, oh yeah, remember you don’t have your stupid magic sword, gee wiz you were born yesterday and you’re still like, ten years old and can’t take anything seriously. Goodness gracious, the entire city’s in danger and he can’t stop freaking treating me like I’m incompetent!” she rants. “Anyway, he’s on his way, but we need to go too, right?”

“Yeah,” you say, passing out the doors and into the cold night air. An unseen energy seems to hang in the air, awaiting whatever’s going to happen within the next hour. “Waldric sounded kind of frustrated over the phone – I think it’s a time sensitive thing,” you tell Ro.
>>
>>33302562

“Okay so… well maybe I can get Vik’s car from her,” Rowan says. “What was the address Waldric told you? We can drive over like, right now.”

>Make it so.
>Thanks for coming along, I mean, it’s not safe, but like, having someone to watch my back is… good, you know? And don’t listen to Isaac. He’s just being all fatherly and whatnot. You’re badass, sword or no.
>Are you sure you’ll uh… be okay without your sword? Like, I’m not saying your incompetent, but like, even I have my claws. You’d be unarmed.
>I don’t like doing this, but, I mean, I can disappear into shadows and explode. It’s not that I don’t want you with me but like, in some situations, I just work better alone. It’s just how it is. I think it’d be safer for both of us if I went by myself this time.
>Look, I’m going to be honest with you. Waldric said come alone. Sure it’s dangerous, but he spooks so easy – I can’t risk missing out on what he’s got to say so I can play it safe.

Probably the best option.
>>
>>33302616
I second this. We meet up with him alone to put him at ease, but it's pants-on-head retarded to not have backup on hand.

Besides, if it really is that time sensitive we may have to crash Meckor's party ASAP.
>>
>>33302615
Second
>>
>>33302669
This. Have Rowan be nearby, ready to charge in should trouble happen, but go in alone.
>>
Welp, I'm off to see Godzilla. Expect it to influence the game heavily.

Next thread should be Monday, I think. Check twitter for sure, though. There might be a day between here and there that I can squeeze a thead into.

Do we have our lightning sword around? To be perfectly honest Rowan would be able to utilize it better, we would be able to hold our own with our claws.

We gained mutant cool stuff from it in HMC, Languid. It's supposed to be awesome. Enjoy!

I'd like to talk to Waldric without Rowan there tbh, The whole Crowther thing, I want to know more about whats happening there and I'm not ready to tell the Hallows about it.

As long as she and Isaac are nearby in case we get bushwacked, I say go alone.

Just... tell them what neighborhood we'll be in, if not the specific location. So they can ride in nice and quick if something explodes or we give them a call.
