Thomas Judge: ((Wow this room has been lonely at 315602 hour(s) ago. By the way, Rav, Ashton, Happy New Year *s*))

Jody Yu: So, Jody advises both Thomas and Craven, if they like, to go ahead and use the side/back entrance to the club, so as to avoid having to deal with the dining room front. She has a room set up for them, with a large table, and a seat on either side.

Jody Yu: ((Happy New Year to you too, Jud...and Ashton. *S*))

Craven : (thanks, back at ya)

Craven : And Craven takes his the side/back entrance and quietly checks the place out as he makes his way to the prepared room. Dressed in a dark suit with a red tie.

Thomas Judge: He shows up on time, dressed like a devil should really. Red Suit Jack, white shirt under that, no tie though, and black pants with polished shoes. He shows up at what ever time he was told to and also makes his way in the side entrance to the prepared room.

Jody Yu: Security walks along with Craven, leading him to the room. Jody is standing in front of the door to the room, dressed in the simple, elegant yet functional black evening gown. She nods to Craven as he approaches, offering him a welcoming smile. "Mr. Craven. Good to see you. This way, please." She leads him into the room, stepping off to the side of the door.

Jody Yu: And when Thomas arrives, Security leads him to the room as well, just a little behind Craven.

Craven : He gives her a nod, and cracks a touch of a smile to the woman before going into the room and waiting.

Thomas Judge: He nods to Jody "Evening Miss Yu." He has no smile.

Jody Yu: "Mr. Judge." She nods to Thomas, and gestures to the table. "Please, have a seat. Would you two gentlemen like me to be present for this meeting, or would you prefer that you conducted this business privately?"

Craven : Craven blinks some at the name, then again before he regains his composure and takes a seat at the table in the chair closest to him.

Thomas Judge: He pulls out a seat looking over to Craven. He was new, great he thought he at least had the other guy a little sussed, this will make things a little harder but lets be honest, things were either going to go one way or the other. He moves to take the other seat "What would you prefer sir?" He looks over to Craven.

Thomas Judge: ((Edit)) He was new, great he thought he at least had the other guy a little sussed, this will make things a little harder but lets be honest, things were either going to go one way or the other. He moves to take the other seat "What would you prefer sir?" He looks over to Craven.

Craven : He finally looks to Jody for a moment... "You can stay, since you are already aware of the situation."

Jody Yu: She nods to Craven, and moves to take a chair from the corner of the room. Quick but unhurried steps bring the chair to seat at the table, in between them, and she seats herself, falling quiet.

Thomas Judge: He sits back a pack of coughs placed on the table "No one minds if I 'ave a cough do they?" He looks to Jody then Craven. He is being polite, one must in certain circles.

Jody Yu: "I do not mind, no." She shakes her head.

Craven : "Its your body." he says casually.

Jody Yu: "So, then." When neither immediately takes the initiative, she begins. "You both are here to discuss a situation revolving around one of the shifter's people. I will, if you both wish it, mediate the situation; otherwise, I will merely observe. Perhaps one of you should explain their stance to the other, and what they hope to get out of this. Mr. Craven, I believe the floor would be yours to begin, unless you would prefer Mr. Judge do so?"

Craven : "Jocelyn, whom you are aware of is now with you. We wish to wash our hands of her and rather then kill her... Shakey thought it best to play nice and see if we might be able to come to an arrangement."

Thomas Judge: "Peease Mr Craven." He gestures for him to take the floor, the coughs packet is opened and a one placed with in his lips, the zippo brought up and it lit, the first drag blown upwards.

Thomas Judge: ((DLP))

Thomas Judge: "That sounds reasonable to all parties." He smiles slightly "Wat would be the arrangement as such Mr Craven." the coughs packet is opened and a one placed with in his lips, the zippo brought up and it lit, the first drag blown upwards.

Craven : "Provide proof that she can no longer provide information about her heritage and our people and you in turn can keep her. I would expect support on keeping your people from Central Park and understanding that further seductions of our Kin will not be treated so lightly."

Thomas Judge: He nods still calm "The information I currently 'ave on yer heritage an kind was given to me by one Malcom DeWitt." He nod to Jody, she would remember this. "One of yers I believe, named Karlos, the previous onwer of this club was kidnapped by a kin smugglin' ring that was workin' from 'ere an Egypt, on that trip I was told an awful lot about yer heritage an kind in order to assist them to stop the smuggling and save thousands of humanity, yer kin. All I know is from your very people, I doubt she can tell me nuthin' I'am not already aware of. I 'ave also out of respect not passed any of this knowledge on to other parties as that would be a treaty violation, an 'ave no intention to, wat we did that day was bloody great, thousands saved, don't want to spoil that, take the honour away from it like"

Jody Yu: She keeps her eyes on Thomas, expression perfectly even, infinitely polite. When he's done, she looks over to Craven, to see how he's going to take this news.

Craven : "I see." is his only reponse for like a minute. "It still applies, if not to you... perhaps her lips will whisper to another. It is not a chance I am authorized to take."

Jody Yu: "Malcolm DeWitt was a member of the Court of One Hundred Blossoms, and not the Sept of the Green," she states. "If that makes a difference."

Jody Yu: ((Sept of the Green = your organization))

Thomas Judge: A small frown but still polite "Then wat would you suggest, cos you can't just take peoples memories away not that I would, I can imagine that would change sumbody's personaility" He picks up another cough "I can assure you I will make 'er swear to not tell a soul, an no offence but am thinkin' you don't put leases on all yer kin, only cos she is with me when far more of yer kin could be mouthin' off far worse than her, she 'asn't said nuthin' about that side of 'er heritage." Another drag "Now how about I ignore the fact one Ewan tried to rip my face off and we call it quits. I ensure the word is spread about Central Park, and will try to steer around yer kin, but since they are humanity an 'ave no symbols, it is a tad difficult but still we can try." He waits for his response

Craven : He cracks a grin at that... "Would you allow your daughter, if you had one, to go with drug addicts knowing that it was only a matter of time she became one? No. We normally kill them for their own good. To save the many, some must fall. You came into Central Park so your lesson is learned. Just be thankful the boy let you live. I would not have. I am not suggesting her memories be taken or altered. We have no such abilities, merely a Geasa not to share information."

Thomas Judge: "How would this Geasa take form?"

Craven : "Not easily... I personally am not even sure any of us have such an ability. I know the Fae do and use it to bind with Oaths but I've never encounter such before. My thoughts are to call a spirit to witness her pledge, it will place a curse upon her that should she break her word then some doom fall upon her."

Jody Yu: "If such a Geas cannot be done by either side...I can arrange one, done through myself. I can create a permanent effect, if necessary, that would trigger in the event she decided to utter such words, she would be...prevented from doing so." She looks to them both. "If you would wish it."

Thomas Judge: He sits up obviously not liking it "That seems -very- harsh, an 'as a number of loop holes into trouble, wat if she was to talk to one of 'er own about her heritage, would this geasa kick in."

Thomas Judge: He stops looking to Jody "You see, it sounds all so much better from you Miss Yu, without the doom an all!"

Craven : "Oh, I should have mentioned that. She stays away from our tettitory and does not associate with us in the world beyond. She would be yours, surrendering her heritage for the rest of her days. Its what she wants after all."

Thomas Judge: “I do have one condition from my side, and a reasonable one I believe. How many of yers through this information know what I ‘am and my name. The attack in CP –and please correct me if am wrong- was one of jealously not defence as I was there to see Shakey. I do not wish to be attacked by an eager youngster while walkin’ downtown. I treat yer secrets with an up holdin’ to yer veil, I would ask mine be treat with as much respect.”

Jody Yu: She stays completely silent. Even her Geas would not be pleasant by any stretch of the imagination...very far from it. But she will not elaborate if it's not wished by both sides.

Craven : He grins quiet wolfishly as he watches the other man. Perhaps gauging him or testing him. "Oh, Shakey was sure to get the word out about you when he told you to stay away from her. No contact. Though the name was never shared, just the description." and then he grins ever so slightly more. "You would most certainly be wrong. You were in the Park. Tsk tsk tsk." he says while shaking his head. "If Ewan had not done his duty, one of our defenders would have."

Thomas Judge: "From wat I understand, no one came to me on the gates like wen I first came to the city, my torment under control as requested, an also was requested I was told to find Shakey wen clean, the only location I 'ad was Central Park, so I went in, am not tainted. I was unaware you -actually- owned Central Park."

Thomas Judge: He smiles

Thomas Judge: "So let me get this right, my description 'as been passed round the sept and they 'ave been informed of what I'am. "He looks to Jody as if asking if there was anything he could do, or if it was breaking the treaty anyway.

Craven : "Who says you are clean?" He says with a tilt of his head. And just becuase no defender approached you immediately does not mean it would not have happened. ((Especially had ~I~ been on, and not told it would be very quick in and out to take Jocelyn somewhere else)) And it seems Shakey set you up, or you failed to ask for a means to contact him. Though it is not my place to question his method or place an assumption about his motivations."

Jody Yu: "Mr. Judge...Central Park is Mr. Craven's peoples' territory. I have not yet heard that Mr. Shakey had informed them all of what you were...only that you were not welcome in the park or to have contact with Miss Jocelyn."

Craven : (doh! missed the " after the head ))

Thomas Judge: "In all due respect Mr Craven I 'ave met Cat shifters, fish ones, other canines, an spiders even an none are like the wolves, an all 'ave told me far more than Jocelyn who 'as said so little. I 'ave kept the secrets of all an yet you freely pass my description around an my nature." A moments pause "Hardly fair I feel to expect 'er to be put under a spell, would you be willin' to bring in all yers that 'eard my description for the same Gesea?"

Jody Yu: She purses her lips a little, remaining quiet. Eyes shift between Thomas and Craven.

Craven : "No, you should have left her alone when you found out what she was. You revealed to her, and she revealed to us. Our normal course of action would be much more final. If we wanted you dead or harmed, it would have been done. And honestly, I am surpsied Shakey Mac left both of you alive. Why are you so concerned that we know of you? ~Perhaps~ your are clean by some blessing of Gaia or through some trick. You and yours should never have become involved with us in the first place and vice versa. We are trying to clean this mess up without bloodshed. Oh... further blood shed." and he smiles once more.

POSTS LOST

Thomas Judge: ((Let him think on it, they can meet up in a few days and he will be bring Jocelyn with him. It is her desision after all, though Tom would like to talk to Jody too :) ))

Thomas Judge: ((You up for contuning Rav?))

Jody Yu: ((I can continue, yes.))

Craven : He stands up with a nod to Jody. "Thank you for your assistance." and then looks to Thomas. "Contact me when you are ready to discuss this further. She has my number." and then he heads out. (be back on later)

Thomas Judge: He nods to Craven "Maybe if we adjourn for the moment an continue in a few days, thank you for yer time Mr Craven" He stands as is polite.

Jody Yu: "Good day, Mr. Craven. Thank you for coming." She stands and offers Craven the half-nod, half-bow, then watches Craven leave. Once the man is out the door, her eyes turn onto Thomas. She actually seems...annoyed, perhaps? Hard to tell...not often you see anything beyond the polite smile on her face.

Thomas Judge: "Wats on yer mind Miss Yu?"

Jody Yu: "Mr. Judge...I would like to tell me why you felt the need to make a man, one who started this conversation by saying this meeting was an alternative to killing Miss Jocelyn, even less comfortable about his secrets by revealing you know everything about his people? And further, implying that the Concerto Club had revealed those secrets to you, thus slanting against our Neutrality and giving his people a legitimate cause to withdraw from the treaty?"

Thomas Judge: He stays sat smoking away "For a start to show we posed no danger, would you rather me lie Miss Yu." He tilts his head "Lie to 'im, am bein' honest because thats wats needed, not lies. Hell is you say next you should 'ave held back you may be shocked but I 'ave. You know 'ave never been a big fan of this treaty, but at the moment it's all thats keepin' us alive, I didn't imply, Malcom DeWitt told me, an if he was netural I didn't know. You see I still 'ave faith for these Garou, they must 'ave been in 'is plan, I want allies not enemies."

Jody Yu: "Yes. I would rather you lie. Because Mr. Craven has been looking for an excuse to withdraw from the treaty. And you just gave him one, as well as more ammunition over you. And if you are not a fan of the treaty, then you would do well to realize that it is the only reason Miss Jocelyn is not dead, and probably you as well. The truth will not save you, Mr. Judge, and and it has just quite possibly damned you, and put the treaty on shaky ground."

Thomas Judge: He shakes his head "Then you should have debreifed me Jody. But you didn't, you never warned me going in to this, don't know try an pin the tail on me for what I 'ave an 'aven't been told." He looks straight at her "Wat does this geasa entail an maybe all this will still be saved?"

Jody Yu: "I'm not going to debrief you, Mr. Judge, on something that I did not want to be public knowledge. I did not think you would reveal all your secrets you knew about his kind to him. I did not even know you had such secrets to reveal." She sighs, taking a lean against the wall, frustrated...for once, looking more like the young woman she is, and not a perfect diplomat. "The Geas would be a command built into Miss Jocelyn's mind, and now, apparently, yours as well. Should you decide to reveal anything about the Garou, the command would take place, and one of many possible effects could occur."

Thomas Judge: "Like wat effects?"

Jody Yu: "Shutting one's brain down, temporarily or permanently...pain that debilitates in such a way that such infomation cannot be given...a complete removal of memories...physical damage in one of many forms. The Garou will demand no less then something permanent, at this point."

Thomas Judge: "Unless it is sumthing none lethal then we may need a third option, an if there ain't one, maybe they will settle on me an Jocelyn leavin' New York. Also will this magic leave a permanent weave around us that can be sensed by those tuned into such things?"

Jody Yu: "Mr. Judge. If you leave, they will follow you. They will track you down, and they will kill you. You are a creature that is corrupt, in their mind, and you have a Kinfolk who has much of their knowledge. You are a threat to them...surely you did not think that they would ever accept you as an ally. They kill mages on sight, most of the time, because of past issues. You are tainted by your very nature, and you have officially played all your cards...did you not realize this was a negotiation?"

Thomas Judge: "Jody, am older than time itself, an though you may think this was me bein' stupid in this meetin', it wasn't, it was faith as those 'ave met before 'ave been far more reasonable than that. Very well. My faith 'as once more been shot down, but it, an always will be worth the effort, I'll bring Jocelyn wenever you are ready to perform this Geas upon instruction of the actual effect of it, however I do wish to know what will 'appen about my description bein' so freely passed around."

Jody Yu: She nods a little bit. "I will speak with Mr. Craven and Mr. Shakey about that, and learn exactly what was told."

Thomas Judge: "Am sorry if my honesty 'as got you in trouble Jody, it was not my intention, an as for them truths, I was 'opin' the man would be of more Malcolm’s or Karlos disposition an would understand, I do not require your disapproval over what I 'ave said wen I didn't even know." The last bit said a little firmer than the rest, her actually half blaming him over a situation he didn't know has angered him.

Jody Yu: "It is given, Mr. Judge, whether you require it or not. I would expect a person older then time itself to understand the ways of discretion in such a volitile situation. Good day." She nods to him, and then leaves.

Thomas Judge: He sits there a long moment after she has gone talking to himself "I see a united world, with no us or them, but everyone fightin' for them. Like he would 'ave wanted." A small sigh as he stands finishing his cough. Another mistake for the devil. He actually shrugs it off, he still knew far more than he was letting on and maybe, just maybe, his honesty may, may down the line bring Craven round. Like he said he has a dream and you never got a dream without taking chances or fucking fighting for it, not lying in the basement hoping for the best.

Jody Yu: ((Yeah, Thomas is dreaming. *G* Thanks for the scene.))

Thomas Judge: ((THanks Rav, when Ashton comes back on, we have a bunny so if you want to finsh the act up that could be cool?))

Thomas Judge: ((OCC I know he is *lol*))

Thomas Judge: ((Thanks for the scene man, that was cool*s*!))

Jody Yu: ((I think we're good now, actually.))

Jody Yu: ((So, that last scene was three days ago...this one would be now.))

Thomas Judge: ((THat works!))

Jocelyn: ((here! *bounces*))

Craven : (yup)

Jody Yu: When Thomas, Jocelyn and Craven show up in their separate parties, they are directed not to the room they met in before, but Jody's office. She is waiting there, back to being her polite, pleasant self.

Craven : ((Okay... when they get into the room the bomb starts counting down. j/king!!! hehehehe))

Thomas Judge: ((Hehe))

Craven : And Craven as before is wearing a dark suit with a red tie. Perhaps his own sense of humor coming through or he just likes red. He's a little early, but too much so.

Jody Yu: ((Yes, and Jody is actually a Jody-Bot...the bomb itself. The Technocracy kills everyone! They win! *G*))

Thomas Judge: He nods to Jody, then to Mr Craven, all polite, not far from Jocelyns side very protectively wearing the same.

Jody Yu: She nods to each person in turn as they enter. "Mr. Craven, Mr. Judge. I can only assume that you are Miss Jocelyn." She nods to the woman, smiling courteously. "Good evening. I am Jody Yu, the owner and manager of the Concerto Club."

Jocelyn: *She's dressed nicely, and certainly more conservatively than before. Her gaze stays down as she comes in with Tom, mouth kept shut*

Craven : He nods to those who enter but mostly just stands there apart from the rest, observing unless directly spoken to for the moment since this is Jody's office.

Jody Yu: She looks from Jocelyn to Thomas and Craven. "I have found what I believe to be the best possible solution. I will place a Geas that will trigger in the event that any secrets about Mr. Craven's people are about to be divulged. Should this happen, the voice box will lock up, forbidding the communication from being made, and Craven will be alerted telepathically."

Thomas Judge: He nods to Jody's words, as his sign of acceptance, looking to Craven for his approval.

Craven : He nods as well, looking to Jocelyn.

Jocelyn: *Nodnodding* Yes Ma'am. Sir. *Hell* Yes.

Jody Yu: She nods, and moves to take a seat on the cleared desk, legs sliding easily into the lotus position as if it was as natural for her as crossing her legs. "You may all...wish to get comfortable. This will take some time, to acheive such a desired effect." She picks up two amulets, one for each Thomas and Jocelyn, and hands them over. "Please put these on." She also puts one on for herself, and hands one to Craven. "These will provide the focus for my work during the setting of the Geas."

Jocelyn: So I just can't talk about them, right? To nobody? I can't tell what stuff I know, right?

Thomas Judge: He takes the amulet placing it on "Miss Yu, is it possible for me to still talk to both Mr Craven and Miss Jocelyn while you weave the Geas?"

Craven : He nods and puts it it on a bit of unease in his expression for a moment but he does go along with it.

Jody Yu: "That is correct, Miss Jocelyn. You will not be able to talk about what you know of Mr. Craven's people to anyone, ever. And you may still speak as I work, Mr. Judge."

Jocelyn: And that's it, or is there more? I don't wanna be stupid and mess up 'cause I didn't understand. *Lip chewed as she puts the amulet on*

Jody Yu: She shuts her eyes, starting a Yogic breathing excercise. As she slowly settles into that, she begins to chant in Mandarin Chinese, part mantra, part reciation of the Vedas.

Thomas Judge: He nods looking Craven "I do have a few things to say if I can Mr Craven."

Jody Yu: ((DLP)) "That is it as far as my Geas. I believe Mr. Craven mentioned cutting complete contact with his people...that will be enforced by his people." And now she shuts her eyes, pausing to see if there are any other questions before she begins.

Jocelyn: *She looks at Craven*

Craven: "Yes, stay away from your Tribe, Ewan, and so on. No more contact with them. You stay out of Central Park. We are no longer your people as you have asked and you can not go and do as you want with Mr. Judge."

Jocelyn: My parents too? I ain't tryin' to argue. I just want to be sure.

Jody Yu: And as the questions for Jody seem to be over, she begins, first the Yogic breathing, then the chant in Mandarin Chinese, part mantra, part reciation of the Vedas. ((I gotta run for a few...Jody's doing this an an extended ritual, so it will be an hour of chanting and so on, for five rolls. 2 Quintessence to lower the difficulty on this Mind 3/Life 3/Corr 2 effect, vulgar without witnesses, to 5. Will roll when I get back.))

Craven: "Yes, your family too."

Thomas Judge: He looks to Jocelyn with that, he didin't know her family as well.

Jocelyn: *Quiet a second, reaching for Tom's hand*

Thomas Judge: He takes her hand "Then Mr Craven, with your permission I would like if you would allow for Jocelyn to call her family while Miss Yu starts this ritual?"

Craven: "Of course." he says while watching the girl. It seems like she is being Ostrasized from the Garou for sure.

Jocelyn: I gotta stay here?

Craven: "I remind you though. ~Jocelyn~ can not have any further contact." he says with emphasis on her name... perhaps a deeper meaning there to her name as he looks to Thomas. Perhaps assuming he would pick up on it.

Jocelyn: Okay... *Digging around for her phone, eyes on the floor*

Thomas Judge: He nods looking to Jocelyn "No pet, you may go out side, but there will be no more contact, none what so ever." He looks back to Craven "My first question is on that point however." He looks to Craven "Wat would be the course of action should one of your people approach Jocelyn, say one that knew her before, how would you like her to handle that situation." Unlike before giving full power to Craven in this regards it would seem

Jocelyn: *Getting up, but hanging back when Tom speaks, waiting for the answer*

Craven: "Cut contact, be honest and that she is not allowed to speak with them anymore and if there is a question or problem with that then to seek me out."

Thomas Judge: He nods "So she can at least be polite and excuse herself then."

Craven: He smirks ever so slightly, as if he would want her to go running and screaming like a mad woman.

Thomas Judge: He squeezes her hand "Go make the call pet, be brave, am 'ere if you need me." He smiles to her kissing her brefily before looking back to Craven. "I would like to ask you a few more things if that is alright with you Mr Craven?"

Jocelyn: *She nods, giving him a little smile, skittering out with her phone*

Thomas Judge: "Mr Craven, the reason for my honesty and I would ask you now if your thanks before for it was one of sarcasm or actually truthful?" He pulls out a cough.

Craven: "Of course it was truthful." he says to him rather seriously. "I had no idea how much you knew, nor how you had come about such information." he says with a glance to Jody and then back to him.

Jody Yu: The woman is still where she is, eyes shut, chanting quietly. If she's hearing any of this conversation, she's paying it no mind.

Thomas Judge: "It was nothing to do with the Concerto. All this information came from my own dealings." He lights the cough "I told you it two fold. One I’ am not your enemy, I know that you know will never accept this and I now understand this but I hope by this honesty you will at least know me as an honourable man, an in the end wen are back are to the wall all we 'ave is our honour." He lights the cough

Thomas Judge: ((know that you now))

Jody Yu: ((Rolling now; again, the thing takes an hour in total, so feel free to talk until done, then we'll fast-forward. Five rolls, diff 5))

Jody Yu: d10: Arete (WP): 5,6,1,

Jody Yu: d10: Arete: 4,6,7,

Jody Yu: d10: Arete: 4,1,6,

Craven: He continues to watch her and just nods slowly. "It is good to know you are honorable." he says while he stands there and watches him.

Jody Yu: ((Diff 6 now, as she got no successes that time))

Jody Yu: d10: Arete (WP): 5,7,3,

Jody Yu: d10: Arete (WP): 9,4,8,

Jody Yu: ((And a Per+Awareness roll is possible, of course.))

Thomas Judge: "Also another point. I 'ave a dream where we can all come together in peace, am not sayin' it will 'appen, not at all, maybe not ever but I seriously do, an in honour of that I would like to offer my serivices." He takes a drag "There are many things out there Mr Craven, many things in every circle, the 3rd mortals, the children of babel, the guardians of eden, sometimes one pair of eyes cannot see all, the dangers are all over I would like to open communications with you, phone if nothing else, to maybe assit each other, I would not expect you to aid me but I may in some cases be able to you in certain situations."

Thomas Judge: d10: Per & Awareness(WP): 9,10,3,4,7,

Thomas Judge: ((He wants to get as strong a feel for the magic as possible))

Jody Yu -> Thomas Judge: ((Well, Demons can't sense Resonance or what the magic does, but he can tell that Jody's doing it, of course, and that whatever she's doing, it seems to be accurate to what she decribed as far as he can tell, as it affects Jocelyn, Thomas, and Craven all.))

Craven: "We shall see, your offer is ... appreciated but you will understand if I am hesitant to discuss anything with you. We might occupy the same City together and the goals of various peoples might seem to be ours. It is not, we once culled the herds and served our purpose well. Humanity still remembers us and know to fear us. Wrong doing shall be dealt with and as you can guess. I do not know, nor do I wish to know of you and your so called people. If there is something I do not understand, then I shall strive to learn it on my own. Thank you though for your candor though."

Jocelyn: *She comes back in, eyes red, taking her seat again without looking up*

Thomas Judge: "I understand Mr Craven an I thank you for at least considerin' it." He nods then goes quiet and waits. Jody my not have liked it but he feels he has at least reached an understanding with Craven rather than a negotiation. He looks over to Jocelyn and moves over to her taking her hand once more "Is there anything you would like to say Mr Craven?"

Craven: (I'm going to need to go to bed soon, have to get up for work in 6 hours)

Jody Yu: ((I'm just waiting for you guys to finish up. Soon as you guys say you're good, I'll fast forward to the end. *S*))

Craven: "Not really, I do wish you both ... as much happiness as you can find. I also hope this does not prove to be a mistake."

Jocelyn: *Reaching for Tom's hand again* Thank you for this, Rhya. I know that by the laws, I should be dead. I just... I'm sorry that everybody else got caught up in this. I didn't mean to hurt anybody.

Craven: (ready when you guys are)

Jocelyn: ((me too))

Thomas Judge: ((Ready))

Jody Yu: After a full hour of her chanting, during which she doesn't look the silghtest bit uncomfortable (though she does seem a little annoyed about 35 minutes in), the effect goes off, the woman's resonance of Balance settling over them all. She finishes chanting, and after several moments of quiet, opens her eyes. "It is done. You may remove the mandalas now."

Thomas Judge: He takes off the charm "Would you like me to test it so Mr Craven is sure it is in workin' order?"

Jocelyn: *She takes her's off as well, holding it in her palm a moment with her eyes closed*

Craven: And he takes his off, offering it back to Jody.

Jody Yu: "It is working. If you do, you will lose the ability to use your voices for the next day, but it is up to you all if you would like to test my work."

Thomas Judge: He looks to Craven to see if he would like proof.

Jody Yu: She takes the amulet back from Craven and anyone else offering it back.

Thomas Judge: Tom offers it back

Craven: "No, I am fine. I trust in the work." he says to them.

Thomas Judge: "Very well are business is over." He nods to them both ((And since Ashton is needing to sleep we can say they exchange phone numbers ((If he will *s*)) INcase. like he says a situatuion comes up for they need communication))

Craven: ((Yup, he will. They need to open communication just for such future issues if nothing else. Sorry to rush off, sleep well and all that when you get there.))

Jody Yu: ((Thanks for the scene, guys.))
