    Suddenly, the pale vampire shrinks down, and a large and evil looking gray rat cowers in his place. The burnt face is even uglier and terrible in rat form. Rot squeaks obscenely and then attempts to quickly scurry away into the shadows. Though he can't actually leave the alley, since reverting to a small form gets rid of the clothes that protected him from the sunlight.
    The trooper tries to fire his stake launcher at the rat as it scurries away. Anatolij tries to follow it right after that. The cleric rushes to disarm the bombs in the bag. He's not a sapper, but with Zefir's instructions it should be easy enough.

    ...

    Gene is still a crow. She'll still be a crow for a while. Rebo's d6 doesn't like her apparently. Given how long she'll end up being a bird (several more minutes at least) and the fact that she failed her will-save to resist the call to join the flock there may be some... side effects from the curse...

    Oh noes!

    Eventually she'll poof back to her human shape in a cloud of black feathers. Several will probably still be stuck on her.

    Amil eyes her cautiously. "...are you alright?"
    [Cursed Street]

    Genevieve now has an irrational hatred of D6s. Whoo! The witch is suddenly human again. Thank goodness for that. Being a crow was getting to be awkward.

    She spits a feather out of her mouth. "I think so... I feel fine at least." She starts brushing off her dress then pauses. With wide eyes she lifts up her skirt just enough to reveal her feet. Instead of normal human feet like you'd expect there to be, she has feet that looks suspiciously like those of a crow. "Uh..." The witch is shocked by the change to say the very least.

    And so the Nexus claims another victim with its weirdness. This is about the time someone might make a crack about Gene starting to show her age with the crow's feet and all. But Amil isn't that kind of someone.

    Though she does stare at the bird-feet Gene has acquired.

    "That's..."
    she rubs the back of her head awkwardly. "It... Umm... It might be a curse? Something that can be removed?"

    That's the most comforting thing she can think of as she cautiously scans her surroundings again. "Regardless I think we both need to get out of her," Amil adds as she picks the last few feathers out of her hair. "Before we get added to the street's population permanently."

    That would be awful.

    Genevieve just sort of stares at her feet for moment longer. "Yeah. A curse. I can probably just get them changed back. Let's go. The witch drops her skirt back over her feet and will begin walking when Amil does. It's definitely awkward for her to walk, but she seems to be getting the hang of it.

When he's spit back out, he lacks the flames of before, and lands on his long tail with a smirk. After a moment, he pulls out a pack of smokes and lights one up for himself, offering her another.

    Not like it'd hurt her.


    Clarissa, never having smoked before, peers at the cigarette with an obvious air of curiosity. Yuan is holding one of those cylindrical wads of paper stuffed with some sort of dried plant and has lit in on fire. Why? Is this some sort of weird ceremony of sorts? A cultural ritual perhaps? Yuan doesn't seem to be even slightly interested in murdering Clarissa anymore. Not right now or from her perspective, anyway. Clarissa guardedly accepts Yuan's offering of a single cig and stares at it blankly, entirely unsure of how to make use of the thing. She resolves to attempt to hold a friendly conversation with him instead.

    "I take it that you prey on humans too, huh? I guess its not as uncommon a practice here as I was originally led to believe. Name's Clarissa. Nice mask, by the way. Isn't out of place at all 'round these parts."

    Because that sort of thing isn't permanent, right? The whole getting turned into a bird bit totally wore off. Maybe the crow's feet will too?

    Amil hurries along, looking for the nearest Riftline station and sure enough due to the weird nature of the Nexus there's one just around the corner!

    ...

    Of course it's a spooky train station.

    The sort with just one flickering lamp and way too much stage fog.

    Amil shivers a bit as she hurries up onto the platform and offers a hand to help Gene. Has the feeling the new feet will make navigating stairs a bit fiddly. It had taken Amil a while to get use to the Tyranid hooves after all.

    "C'mon. This will get us safely out of here. I was heading over to Mallside when I got waylaid. Do you want to come along too?"

    Genevieve appreciates the help, as is evident by her thanks. Stairs are difficult, yes. She's a bit more wary of the street than she had been before. Getting cursed will do that.

    "Yeah, sure. Anything to get away from this place." The witch replies. She casts a look back over her shoulder.

    [Cursed Street ==> Riftline]

    It's all fun and games until you nearly get turned into a bird for the rest of your life. Gene is very fortunate! If not for her friends holding her back she would have joined the flock. And then she would have been lost forever.

    And that would be terrible.

    Within about five minutes the riftline train will arrive and Amil steps on board! Never in all her life has she been so relieved to see public transportation.

    Yaay!

    She slips past several shady looking people getting off on cursed street and quickly slides into a seat with a rather deep sigh.

    "Hoo... That is not the sort of place you want to visit without preparation."

    Genevieve seats herself across from Amil. "You can say that again." She looks down at her bird feet and wiggles her toes.

    Jenkins meanwhile flies around the ceiling a couple times before landing in the witch's hat. He squeaks at Amil.

    Wiggly toes!

    And Amil gives the bat an odd look. Seems she doesn't understand the squeaking. While Amil might know a few of the more common languages found in the Nexus 'bat' isn't one of them.

    ...

    Not even sure if bat counts as a language or not...

    *ahem*

    Anywho!

    Jenkins squeaks again. He might be saying hi. Hard to tell. His player doesn't speak bat either.

    "I was just exploring and found it. I thought it might be cool to see." Biy was she wrong. Crow feet are not fun people.

    Well.

    That could potentially lead to some real problems when it comes to figuring out what the silly bat is saying! Despite being uncertain Amil waves at the bat tentatively.

    "So... uhh..." she begins somewhat uncomfortably. "You aren't... You aren't a witch are you?"

    The tone Amil is using is more or less akin to the tone one might use when asking a question like 'you aren't going to eat me are you?'

    Which might seem kind of odd, all things considered.

    They had just worked together to save each other's life. And Amil seems more like the sort that would eat people anyway.

    Amil takes a deep breath before offering a rather nervous grin. "Well... Heh... Back where I'm from a witch or a warlock is a person who worships Azazel, the King of Terror."

    A beat.

    "He's exactly as bad as he sounds. It took me a while to realize that not everything works like it did back home. But... well... Old habits die hard. Some things still kinda put me on edge."

    Like witches, apparently.

    Other things too. Like undead and were-beasts.

    But mostly witches.

    Gene might notice that Amil is fiddling with her prayer beads.

    Sometimes they result in people getting violence'd at. One of the downsides to the Nexus, really.

    "Born with it...? Really?" Amil replies. If she had a nose she would totally be wrinkling it right now. But she can't make noses for the life of her. Just one of those things. "Huh... And you're still called a witch?"

    She shakes her head.

    "It's so confusing sometimes. It would be nice if all the different realities all used the some terms," then offers a sheepish grin. "But I guess that's a bit too much to ask, huh? I noticed you were throwing around fire and little balls of light and all sorts of stuff. Witches back home don't do anything like that. All of their witch-craft is more... subtle. Like making people sick. Or causing animals to die. Or machines to break down."

    Alysha will wave goodbye to Jerry.

    She thinks about how Lorraine acted earlier.

    why would she act like that? Hm...maybe I scared her. Could be. I should go apologize to her.

    Alysha gives herself a nod, then sets off into the crowd to find Lorraine again.

    She'll just follow Jerry.

    "It makes it a lot harder to figure out who's cursing you, that's for sure,"
    Amil replies with a sigh. "Though if you're pious enough then a witch's magic shouldn't be able to work on you."

    Only problem being that it's rather difficult to tell if one is pious enough or not. Which is why charms and wards are so popular to keep witches and other monsters at bay!

    Rawr!

    The train comes to a smooth stop at the mall!

    Amil smiles a small smile and rises to her feet. Rises to her feet and heads to the Mall! "If you haven't been here before I think you'll be in for a real treat. This place is quite impressive."

    Yeah. The chemicals in which the markings on the scroll are written are extremely poisonous. Licking the scroll might not be such a good idea.

    "The writing is invisible and the scroll is old. Do you really want to take that chance?"

    Percilia inquires with just a bit of scorn in her voice as she points at the burned edge of the scroll.

    There has got to be an easier way to go about this!

    Percilia is thoroughly frustrated now! She narrowly avoids facepalming with her hand that Mister C isn't in!

    "A corner of the scroll is burned. What significance does that have?"

    Percilia really should have been a mentalist, not a guild leader.
