Ravyn [Four Elements]: The Four Elements is going through just another Saturday...everything is running along smoothly, as per usual.

Travis Kennedy: Travis is in one of the dorms with a duffel on his bed. It's being filled with clothes and hair products. A large black leather book sits on the bed beside it.

Ravyn [Four Elements]: Kelton Michaels limps his way down the hallway of the dorms. Unlike his usual, business casual get-up, he is dressed in his full Hermetic get-up, robe and all. There's a quite serious look on his face as he makes his way down toward the hallway.

Travis Kennedy: He finishes rolling his clothes and setting them inside the bag, and he now picks up the large book and stares down at it. He can't quite put it into the bag.

Ravyn [Four Elements]: He comes up to the door and opens it, stepping inside. He takes a moment, leaning on his cane, to observe Travis silently.

Travis Kennedy: He lifts the book up and clutches it to his chest, and glances over to whoever just walked into the room. He looks him over, from head to foot and back up again, and then turns back to his bag, setting the book down inside of it.

Ravyn [Four Elements]: "Good evening, Ellenweorc." He nods a little bit. "Going somewhere?"

Travis Kennedy: "Yes, Master Kelton." He rearranges the contents of the bag so that the book is well protected from bangs and scrapes.

Ravyn [Four Elements]: "Ahh. Where to?"

Travis Kennedy: He fiddles with the zipper, trying to yank it up to close the bag, but it's stuck. "Just... away."

Ravyn [Four Elements]: "Where to?" It's less of a friendly curiosity this time, more of a request of information from a Master to an Adept.

Travis Kennedy: He stiffens and opens his mouth to answer, but he represses his natural instinct to obey a superior this one time. He has to in order to get out. "A hotel."

Ravyn [Four Elements]: "This interests me, Ellenweorc. Why are you leaving the Covenant for a hotel?" He raises an eyebrow, watching him from his lean in the door frame.

Ravyn [Four Elements]: ((lean against his cane))

Travis Kennedy: "I'm just moving out. I haven't always lived here you know. I used to have an apartment as well."

Ravyn [Four Elements]: "Why the sudden move now? What led you to this decision?"

Travis Kennedy: "Who knows." His eyes get a dark gleem to them. "I'm not the most rational person, you must have figured out by now. You can have Abbey if you want."

Ravyn [Four Elements]: "Indeed, she has already requested a new Pater, after the incident at the nightclub last Sunday." The Deacon regards Travis calmly, delivering this news. "She has already been removed from your tutelage."

Travis Kennedy: He sets his jaw. "Yeah? Bloody hell." He picks up his bag and slings it over a shoulder. It's heavy, so this takes alot of effort. "Nice to have been informed."

Ravyn [Four Elements]: "Set your bag down, if you do not mind, Ellenweorc. We still have things to discuss, and I would not have your shoulder give out on you."

Travis Kennedy: The bag is off and back down on the bed before Travis actually stops to think about what he was doing. "Master Kelton, Sir, what else is there?"

Ravyn [Four Elements]: "I have received a full report, from both Dragana and Abbey, in regards to the event at the nightclub. I have not received such a report from you...which is not surprising, I suppose." He gives Travis a dry look. "However, their reports match up perfectly, as best can be done. They both reported that you performed magic at that time."

Travis Kennedy: "I did. Sorry."

Ravyn [Four Elements]: He frowns. "So, you acknowledge that you specifically and willfully violated the direct command of a Deacon, leveled as restitution for actions you have taken against the Code of Hermes and the Peripheral Corrigenda?"

Travis Kennedy: "Yes." He sticks his ungloved hands in his pockets.

Ravyn [Four Elements]: "I see." He sighs, looking a little sad, and nods. "Ellenweorc, you are not to leave the Covenant grounds, until such time as the Covenant is able to call a Tribunal. While under this house arrest, you are not to perform magic under any circumstances, whatsoever. Since you have obviously disobeyed that request before, I must as that you hand over all your foci, and am hereforth advising you that you will be under constant scans to ensure that the decree is carried out."

Travis Kennedy: "And if I disobey?" His voice is level.

Ravyn [Four Elements]: "Then you will be stopped." His gaze is as level as Travis's voice.

Travis Kennedy: "Then stop me." He reaches for his bag.

Alice Newcomb: Slips into the chantry.

Ravyn [Four Elements]: He raises his cane toward the bag. ((I believe we call this "Initiative Time."))

Ravyn [Four Elements]: 9,

Ravyn [Four Elements]: ((13))

Alice Newcomb: She heads into the men's dorm, quite shamelessly, looking for Travis.

Travis Kennedy: 1,

Travis Kennedy: (6)

Travis Kennedy: Travis is going to pick up the bag.

Alice Newcomb: (Is the door open?)

Ravyn [Four Elements]: The cane levels directly at the bag, the word "Away" coming out commandingly in Enochian. ((Forces 3, Telekenisis, to shove it out of Travis's grasp. Enochian to lower diff))

Ravyn [Four Elements]: ((Yes.))

Ravyn [Four Elements]: 1,2,3,8,6,8,

Ravyn [Four Elements]: 5,4,3,4,1,

Ravyn [Four Elements]: ((WP to prevent botch. Dayum))

Alice Newcomb: (awareness)

Alice Newcomb: 2,7,3,6,4,7,6,9,

Alice Newcomb: ((Or not. *L* But her radar is up.))

Ravyn [Four Elements] -> Alice Newcomb: ((Kelton just did Forces magic. But you already knew that. *G*))

Ravyn [Four Elements] -> Alice Newcomb: ((Or didn't. Gaah. ST brain-fart))

Ravyn [Four Elements]: Kelton tells the bag to go, but it just don't wanna. Travis picks it up.

Travis Kennedy: Travis stands there, waiting for Kelton to restrain him, with the bad over his shoulder.

Alice Newcomb: Wonders which room is his and opens a door, some guy in his underwear objecting loudly. "Sorry!" Not that one.

Travis Kennedy: (Er, bag. He's the bad.)

Ravyn [Four Elements]: The cane levels at Travis. "Put the bag down and come with me, Adept. That is a direct order from your Deacon. You will not get another warning, before I strike. Do NOT make me do this."

Alice Newcomb: Moves down the hall thinking she hears voices and peeks into the room.

Travis Kennedy: "I'm not making you do anything. You'd better stop me before I escape." He waits with the bag over his shoulder.

Alice Newcomb: That doesn't sound good.

Ravyn [Four Elements]: "You are an arrogant, snide, insolent fool, Kennedy." The Enochian word for "Away" comes forth again, aimed at Travis. ((Tryin' this again. Enochian to lower, plus 2 Quint in case the power of Chaos is mean. Diff 6 - Enochian succ, WP spent))

Ravyn [Four Elements]: 9,7,5,5,7,4,

Ravyn [Four Elements]: ((So diff 5))

Ravyn [Four Elements]: 2,8,2,5,7,

Ravyn [Four Elements]: ((4 suc, which, with 1 to effect Travis's pattern, = 3 succ to effect for the force of the throw.)) Travis is thrown back against the wall. ((Soak...ouch. 7 damage, Bashing due to the fact that TK is non-lethal))

Travis Kennedy: "I know..." He grins at Kelton, and suddenly he's throw across the room. He smacks into the back wall with a muted grunt and a bang.

Travis Kennedy: 7,4,

Ravyn [Four Elements]: Travis's world goes black, and he's unconscious on the ground.

Travis Kennedy: He's down on the ground, shuddering in pain.

Alice Newcomb: *Blinks and edges back, so they don't see her watching. Juuust peeking around the edge of the door jam.*

Travis Kennedy: Or not. I guess he's out cold.

Ravyn [Four Elements]: Kelton looks at Travis with a profound sadness, leaning heavily on his cane. Without looking back, he speaks, quietly. "What can I help you with, Alice?"

Ravyn [Four Elements]: ((Sorry, poorly worded. He loses consciousness momentarily...bing Dazed.))

Alice Newcomb: Doh! "I was... umm..." Swallows.

Ravyn [Four Elements]: He steps forward, watching Travis as he moves to retrieve the bag and drag it across the floor toward the door, with much effort.

Alice Newcomb: She steps inside and moves to help the deacon with the bag, looking over her shoulder at Travis, wondering what he did.

Travis Kennedy: Travis opens his eyes and coughs with a forced grin. "I'm getting used to this..."

Alice Newcomb: Kelton moves up mentally from principal of the school to head bouncer. She's not so sure she wants to tell him what she did yesterday.

Travis Kennedy: He's on the ground against the far wall, not moving.

: ((aww... DRagana and ishachus were the bouncers....*hides and goes quiet now*))

Alice Newcomb: Maybe he was stealing the stuff in the bag.

Ravyn [Four Elements]: He gives Alice a grateful smile, then looks back to Travis. "Will you go quietly now?" His look says he's desperately hoping for yes.

Alice Newcomb: ((Reserves the right to re-evaluate everyone's place in the scheme of things as she gains more experience. *g*))

Travis Kennedy: "Never!" It's said dramaticly, like a pirate from a movie, in his quiet, pained voice. He coughs out a laugh.

Travis Kennedy: The world is swimming around him. He's probably going to pass out.

Alice Newcomb: Wonders what's in the bag. Gold? It's heavy enough.

Ravyn [Four Elements]: "Then respectfully, I amend my previous assessment of you, Travis. You're not a fool. You're insane." He moves forward, and swings the cane, intending to smack Travis with it and knock him out. ((Dex+Melee, WP spent))

Ravyn [Four Elements]: 5,9,6,

Travis Kennedy: "Oh hell." He waits for the hit.

Ravyn [Four Elements]: ((Roll soak))

Ravyn [Four Elements]: 3,9,7,7,10,

Travis Kennedy: 4,4,

Ravyn [Four Elements]: And that is one SOLID blow to the noggin. Travis goes out. ((3 Lethal, 4 Bashing.))

Ravyn [Four Elements]: ((That's the total damage Travis has suffered, of course. *G*))

Alice Newcomb: Winces as the Deacon clubs Travis. She really hopes he did something worse than she did, but doesn't see how he could have.

Travis Kennedy: His head is smacked, and it hits the ground beside him with a thud. He's laying on his side, out cold.

Alice Newcomb: Maybe she shouldn't tell. What if he finds out? She could run away. But he helped her. Guilt, guilt, guilt.

Alice Newcomb: Where would she go? What about her parents, and school, and... everything.

Ravyn [Four Elements]: A sigh and he moves to sit on the bed, wincing heavily. He looks to Alice and smiles slightly. "Alice, my dear. Do me a favor, please, and go summon two of the Acolytes on my behalf. Tell them to bring gloves. Ellenweorc needs to be taken to the Certamen Chamber and restrained there."

Ravyn [Four Elements]: ((restrained = detained))

Alice Newcomb: Nods and sets the heavy bag down, then scampers off to find some help.

Alice Newcomb: She returns shortly with a couple gloved acolytes. The two biggest guys she could find. She didn't have to go far, since she's in the men's dorm. One of them has wet hair and is shirtless. He's vaguely annoyed with Alice. Apparently he objects to women prowling into the men's shower.

Ravyn [Four Elements]: He's regained some composure, and he directs the men to carry Travis, with gloves on, up to the Certamen Chamber and stand guard over him, as well as not to make physical contact with his skin. They nod and carry Travis off.

Alice Newcomb: Rolls her lips and considers sneaking off, glancing up and down the hall.

Ravyn [Four Elements] -> Travis Kennedy: Travis is healed enough by Deacon Dourinus to where he stablizes, and gains his Incapactitated Health Level of Bashing back. He is held there until his Tribunal comes ((Which I will get on and to ASAP)).

Travis Kennedy -> Ravyn [Four Elements]: ((So... he's awake? When will the Tribunal happen do you think?))

Ravyn [Four Elements]: Kelton looks to Alice, smiling a little, wearily. "Now, Alice. What can I help you with?"

Ravyn [Four Elements] -> Travis Kennedy: ((He is awake. I expect that it will happen some time this week...if I can't get it done in the next few days, I'll do it through a Forum Post or something.))

Alice Newcomb: "I umm... yesterday... I didn't mean to. He hit me with a hammer."

Ravyn [Four Elements]: A frown. "Who hit you with a hammer, Anne?" He pats the bed, next to him. "Sit down, please. Explain what happened."

Alice Newcomb: ((Alice)) She hesitantly takes a seat. "He was in the store, making things fall and I tried to talk to him. I just got so mad when he hit me."

Ravyn [Four Elements]: ((Gaah, Alice. I keep having an instinct to name Alice Anne, and I don't get it.)) "What store?" He watches her, calmly, almost soothingly. That father figure look. "Start at the beginning. Calm yourself. Where were you, what fell, who hit you, and why did they hit you?"

Alice Newcomb: "I was in Ace Hardware. There was a crash and we looked. Lots of stuff had fallen. Big stuff. Tables knocked over. It didn't look like it could have just happened by itself, you know? So I figured if I'd pulled that, I'd be out the door. So that's where I looked, and there was this guy sneaking out. I asked him to wait and he made a hammer hit me. I couldn't feel his magic, though. I don't know why."

Ravyn [Four Elements]: "Sometimes we can, and sometimes we can't." He nods a little, shrugging with a ghost of a smile on his fact. "So then what happened?"

Alice Newcomb: "I got really mad and... I picked up the hammer and tried to throw it at him, through the plate glass window. Didn't hit him though. Safety glass. The window only cracked. So I chased him."

Alice Newcomb: Fidgets, growing progressively more distressed as the tale nears it's conclusion. Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry.

Ravyn [Four Elements]: A slow nod, face calm. "And then what?" Nothing is out of the ordinary thus far.

Alice Newcomb: "I...I caught him. And threw him down... and choked him." Her breathing getting a little ragged as she tries not to cry, eyes shimmering with the tears she's refusing to shed.

Ravyn [Four Elements]: A frown of concern for the girl, and he reaches out, putting a hand on her shoulder. "Is he...not all right?"

Alice Newcomb: Rolls her lips and blinks rapidly, hands twisting the hem of her shirt. "He... he had convulsions and died," she whispers.

Ravyn [Four Elements]: He blinks at that. "I see." He considers...convulsions for choking? "How long were you choking him for? Did he lose consciousness while you were doing so, or after?"

Alice Newcomb: "I held him in a sleeper hold. I'm not sure how long. Matt was trying to pull me off him and he got loose, crawled a little and collapsed into convulsions. I looked and... his brain hemorraged."

Alice Newcomb: "There was a lot of blood," she whispers, haunted by the image of the man's death. The vagrant tears escaping her control and rolling down her cheeks.

Ravyn [Four Elements]: 9,7,7,7,5,4,

Ravyn [Four Elements]: ((Was Int+Med; and sorry, spaced out)) He frowns, listening. Cutting off a blood supply causing a hemorrhage? Vageuly possible in theory, but...he shakes his head, smiling. "Alice, the odds that you were responsible for this person's death are very, very slim."

Alice Newcomb: Sniffs, and lets out the breath she hadn't realized she was holding, brushing at her cheeks with the back of her hand.

Ravyn [Four Elements]: "If you like, I can investigate, see what I can uncover, hmm?" He keeps those kind yet tired eyes on Alice, smiling reassuringly.

Alice Newcomb: Nods, sniffing again. "I wasn't trying to hurt him... that much. I'm sorry." Looking up at him, glad he's not swinging the cane.

Ravyn [Four Elements]: "Well, let's see what happened." He nods a little bit to her. "I think, perhaps, a bit of restraint is in order, Alice, when you chase someone down; however, I do not think this is your fault."

Alice Newcomb: She's been on drugs so long, she never knew she had a temper underneath it all. Of course, a hammer upside the head is bound to bring out the worst in anyone. She nods to his words.

Ravyn [Four Elements]: A smile in return. "Now, then. How are you, Alice? Is everything going well for you?"

Alice Newcomb: Except for the killing people part, she's okay. "I haven't seen my pater around." Gives her nose a final swipe. "I've been invited to join a cabal."

Ravyn [Four Elements]: A sigh. "Lawrence has been...absent. I shall have to address that. And excellent...which cabal would that be?"

Alice Newcomb: "It doesn't have a name yet. So far, my friend Terry, Arlett, who I've met, but don't know very well yet, and maybe a couple more of Terry's friends. We're all about the same age."

Ravyn [Four Elements]: He nods at thjat. "Terry, I do not know...Arlett is an excellent choice. And multi-Chanty Havens can only strengthen our ties to the other mages in the city, which is, of coursse, a good thing. Good for you."

Alice Newcomb: She seems a little surprised at the praise, especially after admitting she choked someone, possibly to death. Hammer not withstanding. "I'll tell them I can then," she says quietly.

Ravyn [Four Elements]: "Good." He nods. "Tell Arlett hello for me, if you would. I haven't seen her since returning. She's a good person, and you caln learn well from her.""

Alice Newcomb: Nods. "Yes sir. Is she a member of the Order?"

Ravyn [Four Elements]: "No, she is a Son of Ether...another of the Traditions. An old friend."

Alice Newcomb: "I'll pass your greetings along," she promises. "Something happened today too.." Frowns a little.

Ravyn [Four Elements]: "What was that?"

Alice Newcomb: "I over heard something, and... I think the guy noticed. He was trying to get my car license plate number. I think he might have gotten it. He's a lifer from San Quentin."
