You say "Would Jude like to run around campus looking for an Authority Figure, then?"

Jude_Wallace says "Sure."

Mellor says "Hey Jude!"

Jude_Wallace goes ack!

Jude_Wallace inquisits Mellor.

Mellor says "Hee hee"

<<Scene Start>>

<<OOC>> Mellor sits quietly, and watches

<<OOC>> Jude_Wallace sends the Good Guys after Mellor.

Mike (the baddie) and Blaine (the sorcerer baddie) have exited at the end of class, quickly, and Jude is left to pack up all alone. *sniff*

Jude_Wallace doesn't mind. He is, after all, righteous Judgment. So Jude packs up his stuff and bounces along, Mercurianly, looking for the Malakite.

<<OOC>> arcangel says "Where is Jude going to look first?"

<<OOC>> Jude_Wallace says "In the Malakite place?"

<<OOC>> Jude_Wallace has... woah. No idea!

<<OOC>> arcangel says "And where would _that_ be?"

<<OOC>> Mellor says "Security?"

<<OOC>> Jude_Wallace checks the last place he saw Danny, and then will INQUISIT random people along the way as to where big Malakim of Judgement hang out and stuff.

<<OOC>> Jude_Wallace uses this as an opportunity to flex his, um, Judgment, um, muscle.

<<OOC>> Jude_Wallace facepalms.

<<OOC>> arcangel says "The last place you saw Danny was at the bottom of the building (Lud) where Tarot's class is..."

Jude_Wallace heads back to the Lud, figuring he'd start there, and then bug people about where he might have gone.

The afternoon-shading-towards-evening sky is clear, with only a few clouds, as white and fluffy as a Mercurian's wings.

Jude_Wallace bounces on back there. Bounce bounce bounce.

Various folks are about -- students hurrying from class to class, or lounging in the grass. Some others jog past, clad in spandex and shorts.

Jude_Wallace bugs various people as he passes them, asking if they've seen Danny.

Reactions vary from, "Danny who?" to "No" to "Huh?"

Jude_Wallace wrinkles his nose. Clearly, this inquisiting people takes work.

One red-haired young woman says, "Well, I'm Danielle. Will that do?"

Jude_Wallace says "I'm, um, Jude. Hiya!"

Danielle says, "So are you looking for me? Or someone else?"

Jude_Wallace says "Um, no. You're a little short, and you have the wrong colored hair, and you're not a _guy_."

<<OOC>> Hamilton says "Hehe"

Danielle laughs. "So who's this Danny? Is he a student?"

Jude_Wallace says "He's a big Malakite."

Jude_Wallace stands on his toes to show Danielle how big Danny is.

Danielle says, "A malachite? A malachite statue?"

Jude_Wallace says "Nooooo a MALAKITE. M-a-l-a-k-i-t-e. A big dude who fights evil and stuff."

<<OOC>> Hamilton says "Malachites being, of course, the Malakite servitors of David..."

<<OOC>> arcangel groans.

Danielle says, "Never heard of 'em!"

Danielle says, "Are they like Lawful Good Paladins or something?"

Jude_Wallace says "Um...."

Jude_Wallace looks all confused.

Jude_Wallace says "ANYWAY, I gotta find him and stuff. Talk to ya later."

Danielle waves. "Maybe you should check some of his teachers -- they might know his phone number!"

Jude_Wallace calls back, "THANKS!" and scoots off toward where his first class was at.

The blocky brick building of Lud hoves into view, brutal and squat against the great dome of the heavens. (As opposed to the Heavens, mind.)

Jude_Wallace goes zipping into the building. ZIP.

Students clamber up and down the stairs, and teachers drone in the rooms. A secretary in a high-necked dress heads past, holding an armfull of scrolls.

Jude_Wallace looks into the room where his first class was held.

There is no one there now, and the desks are in their hap-hazard rows. Sunlight sparkles on dust from one of the high windows.

Jude_Wallace wrinkles his nose. Hmph. He opens his notebook to figure out the prof's office and office hours.

Tarot's office and office hours have been neatly taken down.

Jude_Wallace zips over to the office.

From afar, Tarot ponders the secretary. Ponders photos. Oh dear.

Tarot pages: Oh, wait, Jude is not hunting her. Phew.

In the front room, a secretary ignores the computer on her desk to scribble upon a notebook with a feverish intensity. She gnaws upon her lower lip.

<<OOC>> Tarot says "She has a notebook! She must be a good person!"

Jude_Wallace bounces up to the secretary. "Hi! IsMissdiOrdoincauseIgottaquestiontoaskherandstuff."

The secretary looks up, peering at Jude through thick glasses. She blinks several times. "Um, could you say that again? With, um, spaces?"

Jude_Wallace breathes a sigh of mild irritation. "Is Miss di Ordo in? Cause I gotta ask her a question and STUFF."

The secretary looks enlightened. "Oh! Just a moment, let me see if she's in." She sets the notebook down, closes it firmly, and types on her computer for a few moments.

In Tarot's office, her computer breedles cheerfully.

Tarot checks her computer.

There is, on Tarot's computer, a little email message. "There's a student to see you. Wants to ask you "a question and STUFF."

Tarot emails back, "Send him on in."

The secretary says to Jude, "She's in." She gives the directions to Tarot's office.

Jude_Wallace bounces on in. "Hi hi hi Miss di Ordo. I'm looking for a great big Malakite named Danny and last time I saw him it was after your class. And you're not up to anything BAD in the eyes of God are ya? Cause if you are, I gotta inquisit you and stuff, and they say I can use red hot pokers on really bad people which is kind of cool and kind of lame at the same time."

Tarot's brows rise.

Jude_Wallace says "So have you seen him by chance?"

Jude_Wallace clearly has red hot pokers on the brain.

Tarot says "I do not know the current location of Danny, though I can inquire with Campus Security as to whether they have an email address or phone number for him."

Tarot says "Why do you wish to see him, and why do you have this obsession with red hot pokers?"

Jude_Wallace says "I gotta question or five to ask him about Secret Judgment Stuff. And I've heard that red hot pokers 'do the trick' ya know."

Tarot says, dryly, "They are extremely painful, yes. A moment, please."

Tarot picks up the phone, and dials whatever part of Campus Security is responsible for handing out phone numbers or contact emails.

The phone is answered. "Campus Security Info. Trish here."

<<OOC>> Tarot avoids the temptation to ask him how many redhot pokers he will need to "do the trick" on Danny.

<<OOC>> Jude_Wallace says "Not on DANNY. Sheesh."

<<OOC>> Jude_Wallace was thinkin' about bad people!

<<OOC>> Mellor says "I missed the red hot pokers? Awww..."

Tarot says "Di Ordo here. Your pardon. I have a student requesting contact information for one Danny, Malakite of Judgement, who I suspect has temporary clearance here.""

On the phone, Trish says, "Oh, right, him. We've only got the usual PI contact data for him. Want that number? It's long-distance."

Jude_Wallace bounces from foot A to foot B and back to foot A and thinks about red hot pokers and people confessing their sins.

<<OOC>> Mellor says "You would be so at home working for my boss :) I should recruit you..."

Tarot considers. "A moment, please." She turns to Jude. "I have PI contact data for him, but it is a long-distance number. It will probably not be very efficient."

Jude_Wallace looks a little bummed. "Oh."

Tarot says "I fear I cannot do any better. Alternatively, you could ascend and hope to find him above, an he is there."

Jude_Wallace says "Um, well, the Chief might be bugged if I popped up. Are there any other Judgment folks about?"

<<OOC>> Tarot says "Are there, that I know of?"

<<OOC>> arcangel says "Well, the Seraph and Cherub who were _with_ Danny..."

Tarot pauses. "I have a contact number for the Seraph of that Triad, an that would suffice."

Tarot says, into the phone, "I thank you, but apparently it will not be required. My apologies for the inconvenience."

On the phone, Trish says, "No problem. It's what we're here for."

Long distance to Tarot: arcangel cracks up.

From afar, Tarot thinks she'll suggest that Jude make the phone call from outside her office, on the whole. ;)

Tarot puts down the phone, turning back to Jude.

Long distance to Tarot: arcangel snickers.

Jude_Wallace's eyebrows go up in expectation.

Tarot reaches into her pocket, and brings out the card which the Seraph left the contact number on.

Tarot says "Please copy it down, as I would like to keep the original."

Jude_Wallace dutifully copies down the number.

<<OOC>> arcangel says "1-800-JUD-GMNT?"

<<OOC>> Tarot laughs.

<<OOC>> arcangel says "Well, Andre has 1-900-GOT-LUST..."

Tarot reclaims the card, once Jude has finished.

Tarot says "I hope that will suffice."

Jude_Wallace resonates on Tarot and stuff.

<<GAME>> Jude_Wallace rolls the d666 and gets 1 2 CHECK: 2.

<<OOC>> Tarot says "Ooops."

<<OOC>> arcangel chortles.

<<OOC>> Hamilton says "Hehe"

You paged Tarot with 'Tarot's estimation of herself, relative to those currently around her?'.

<<OOC>> arcangel says "Sad CD, though."

<<OOC>> Tarot says "Tarot's estimation of herself is one of reasonable competence, if not of *high* power, and of reasonable common sense. She regards herself as definitely more oriented than Jude and more experienced."

<<OOC>> Mellor says "She doesn;t think Jude is seriously insane then?"

<<OOC>> Jude_Wallace is pretty sure a box of toothpicks are more experienced. :)

Jude_Wallace tries to get a TEENY bit more information.

<<GAME>> Jude_Wallace rolls the d666 and gets 1 3 CHECK: 6.

<<OOC>> arcangel faints.

<<OOC>> Jude_Wallace says "Happier? Does that satisfy the GM?"

<<OOC>> Mellor says "Woah :)"

<<OOC>> Tarot says "Er, oh dear."

<<OOC>> arcangel weeps.

<<OOC>> arcangel also chortles, at the same time.

<<OOC>> Tarot looks up the table. Oh dear, oh dear.

<<OOC>> Mellor says "You should have touched her, for a CD of 8 :)"

You paged Tarot with 'Go for it -- but feel free to be enigmatic about 'extra-symphonic' stuff?'.

You paged Tarot with 'Oh, right, and for the Judgment rider, her most devient behavior and how long ago she did it?'.

<<OOC>> Tarot says "Most people who know Tarot call her "Tarot". She's interested in sorcery, Symphonic and extra-Symphonic power manipulation, the welfare of her friends, literature, tattoos, and research."

<<OOC>> Jude_Wallace says "Dude, everywhere is riddled with sorcerers."

<<OOC>> Tarot says "She has a few close friends, none nearby, one person called Desdinova whom she's sworn in service to, the ArchDean who she works for, no living family."

<<OOC>> Tarot says "She would quite literally risk her life for someone who she feels responsible for or cares about."

<<OOC>> Tarot says "She's from a place called Elsthan, but apparently she left it at least 30 years ago and hasn't been back since. She's of mixed blood."

<<OOC>> Tarot says "Her most deviant behaviour lately was to cause widespread havoc in a brothel by phoning up a local Internal Security organisation and giving the impression that there were traitors present."

<<OOC>> Tarot says "That's probably it, unless you can think of any major areas I've left off?"

<<OOC>> arcangel says "Looks reasonable to me."

<<OOC>> Jude_Wallace says "Erm, nope. Sorcerer, check. In league with a demon named Desdinova, check. From some weird principality or marches realm called Elshthan. Check. Lives a long time. Check."

Tarot tilts an eyebrow, unaware of Jude's close scrutiny of her nature.

Jude_Wallace reels from sensory information overload.

Jude_Wallace sits down in a chair, hard.

Tarot says, concerned, "Are you well?"

Jude_Wallace blinks a few times, mutters "I gotta go", grabs his bag, and gets out of the office post-haste.

The secretary is still scribbling in her notebook, expertly.

Tarot rubs her forehead.

Long distance to Aimee: arcangel grins. "Jude just got a CD6 on Tarot."

Aimee pages: Poor Jude!

Long distance to Aimee: arcangel nodnodnod!

Aimee pages: This is Jude's brain: (X) This is Jude's brain when turned into a slurpy by a CD6 on Tarot: #;*

Long distance to Aimee: arcangel cackles.

<<OOC>> arcangel just rolls.

<<OOC>> Hamilton wonders if Jude'll ping the sec now... ;>

<<OOC>> Tarot says "Don't forget that she likes tattoos. :)"

<<OOC>> Jude_Wallace says "Gads. Wacked out Habbalite-thing from the Marches who is in league with HELL."

<<OOC>> Tarot says "Desdinova could be human! You have no proof that he's a demon!"

<<OOC>> Mellor says "Proof is not important to the divine tribunal!"

Jude_Wallace throws his backpack on his back and starts running for his room like he's just seen something REALLY bad. Which he has.

It is not that long a sprint across campus. People take no note of yet one more student running from point A to point B.

Jude_Wallace goes tearing for his room.

<<OOC>> Hamilton wonders if he'll end up bowling Blaine down...

On Jude's doorknob, there is a sign. It says DO NOT DISTURB. There are obscure noises coming from the other side. Apparently his roommate is home?

Jude_Wallace presses his ear to the door.

The noises are heavy breathing and quiet grunts.

<<OOC>> Hamilton says "LOL!"

<<OOC>> Hamilton says "Oh, it would be so much fun for someone to bump into him right now..."

<<OOC>> Tarot says "Clearly the person inside is doing virtuous healthy exercises!"

Jude_Wallace stands back away from the door. Well, he can't hide in _there_. They're doing... human things. He goes looking for some other room to hide in.

<<OOC>> arcangel says "There's the bathrooms in Monty Hall. There's the rooms of the angels Jude came down with."

<<OOC>> arcangel says "There's the little phone nooks where you can maybe use the number she gave you."

<<OOC>> Hamilton says "Except someone will, for sure, be necking in them..."

Jude_Wallace wanders to look for a phone nook.

After a fair amount of wandering, Jude finds a phone nook on the 13th floor.

<<OOC>> Jude_Wallace says "Ahem. No building has a 13th floor. :)"

<<OOC>> arcangel says "This one does."

<<OOC>> Hamilton lives on the 13th floor... ;>

<<OOC>> arcangel says "One of the doors even has little pictures of bats and spiders and pale people."

<<OOC>> Hamilton says "in black!"

Jude_Wallace curls up in the nook, and calls the number that he was given for Judgment.

The phone rings. It is answered instantly. "Abdan here. Who is speaking?"

<<OOC>> Tarot | Jude attempts to remember his own name.

Jude_Wallace says "Hi, this is Judriel, Mercurian of Judgment."

On the phone, there is a short pause, a tapping of keys. "Assigned to the Strafford County University. Yes. I was not aware you were given this number. Very well. I am Abdan, Helper of Judgment. You have a report?"

<<OOC>> Aimee says "My teacher is EVIL!"

<<OOC>> Jude_Wallace NODS!!!!!!!! <--- Jude nodding.

Jude_Wallace says "Yes---yes sir, I do, sir."

On the phone, Abdan says, "Very well. I am recording your report."

Jude_Wallace says "Well, sir, first I came in contact with the perp from the Mall. He's, um, in my Law class, sir. I don't know what a perp who is clearly evil is doing in my Law class, cause it's for learning the Law, and from what I could tell, he doesn't know much about _that_. He's just bad, and he's hanging around with a sorcerer, sir."

On the phone, there are little tappity-noises. Abdan says, "The perp from the Mall? That would be... the red-haired young man whom Seraph Ed reported had been sighted in the area?"

Jude_Wallace says "Yes sir. That would be the one, sir."

On the phone, Abdan says, "Who is the sorcerer?"

Jude_Wallace tells Abdan all about the girl who was with the red-haired boy in exacting detail, including what he learned from his resonance ping.

On the phone, there is the sound of tapping keys. When Jude finishes, Abdan says, "Hm. Indeed. Most interesting. Is that the bulk of your report?"

Jude_Wallace says in a trembly voice, "No sir, it isn't."

<<OOC>> Tarot says "What fun, Blaine. Now you too can be hunted by Judgement. ;)"

<<OOC>> Hamilton says "You bet!"

<<OOC>> Aimee is safe from the EvilBadMean Judgement.

On the phone, Abdan says, "Ah. Is this connected with the red-haired Subject?"

Jude_Wallace says "No sir."

On the phone, Abdan says, "Very well. I am starting a new file. Please report."

Jude_Wallace says "Well, I was lookin' for Danny to ask him about the bad humans, and I couldn't find him. So I went to go ask our teacher from this morning, and well, I resonated on her and....."

Jude_Wallace takes a big deep breath, and then reports everything his resonance told him.

Jude_Wallace says into the phone, "She's some sort of tattooed sorcerer from the Marches in league with demons, sir."

On the phone, Abdan taps calmly. "Fascinating. We had not noted the brothel incident previously. Do you have any further data on that?"

Jude_Wallace says "No sir, I don't. I think I'm way out of my league here, sir."

On the phone, Abdan says, "You are perfectly safe in her presence, to the best of our knowledge. She is not in league with demons. Danny, a Malakite, is impressed by her."

Jude_Wallace says "Oh. But she's obviously dangerous."

On the phone, Abdan says, "She is a Soldier, serving one of Heaven's agents. Her patron is more... close with details than we approve of, but Tarot di Ordo has been... evaluated. She does not serve Hell."

<<OOC>> Hamilton reminds herself to write Mercator Hamilton up sometime...

Jude_Wallace says "Oh." Then after a pause, "There's an awful big concentration of evil here, sir."

<<OOC>> Hamilton says "Poor Jude..."

<<OOC>> Mellor says "It's funny. I've come away with the impression that it's 'the enemy camp' , and has a huge concentration of good ;)"

<<OOC>> Hamilton says "And Blaine just thinks it's good ol' IOU with the standard concentrations of evil, good, and high concentrations of weirdness."

On the phone, Abdan says, "We know that, Intercessionist. But that is why we must have our own agents present, to gather information on that... place."

<<OOC>> arcangel says "(As a note, 'Intercessionist' is a formal title, and praise, of a sort."

<<OOC>> arcangel says "(It's standard Judgment language.)"

Jude_Wallace says just "Oh".

Jude_Wallace sighs. Couldn't they have dropped him somewhere safer and less evil, like say, Detroit?

On the phone, Abdan says, "Your report is helpful, Intercessionist. It is, indeed, vital. But you do not need to be concerned for your safety with Ms. di Ordo."

Jude_Wallace says "Yes sir."

On the phone, Abdan adds, "Among other reasons, you are not a demon, and are not vulnerable to sorcery."

Jude_Wallace says "Yes sir."

On the phone, Abdan says, "If you have further urgent reports, do not hesitate to call this number. There is always someone on-duty here."

Jude_Wallace says "Yes sir. Thank you sir."

On the phone, Abdan says, "May thy works be even, Intercessionist."

Jude_Wallace says "Thank you, sir."

The phone goes click.

<<OOC>> Hamilton is done reading the session 15 log. <Poutpout>... no 16 or 17...

<<OOC>> Mellor says "I can't cope with 16. Even remembering it ;)"

<<OOC>> Hamilton says "Last we left Blaine, she was dashing back to her room to get laundry detergent so Leo could wash his clothes."

<<OOC>> Hamilton says "Not terribly exciting stuff."

<<OOC>> arcangel grins. "Unless she trips over Jude, of course?"

<<OOC>> Hamilton says "Of course... ;>"

<<OOC>> Jude_Wallace says "Um yeah. Jude will eventually wanna go, I dunno, HOME."

<<OOC>> Jude_Wallace says "Or at least to Meijer to get milk."

<<OOC>> arcangel says "Ah, right. Let's wait on being tripped over, then."

<<Scene Stop>>

You say "Is Jude planning to go to Heaven and find Danny?"

Jude might, sure. :)

You say "Well, then!"

<<Scene Start>>

<<OOC>> Tarot leans back to listen to more gossip about life, the universe, and everything. ;)

<<OOC>> arcangel says "Jude had just hung up from talking to Abdan?"

<<OOC>> Jude_Wallace nods.

The phone-nook is quiet. Monty Hall sighs and creaks around Jude. His roommate is probably still monopolizing the room.

Jude_Wallace grabs his bookbag, and finds someplace quiet to ascend to Heaven.

<<OOC>> arcangel says "There's the library, where you came down -- it's a Tether, even."

Jude_Wallace trots over to the library. He remembers where it is, mostly.

No one stops him. Trotting students are almost invisible. Soon, there is a tingle of Tether around him, and he can find some quiet bookshelves where no one is looking.

Jude_Wallace ascends. Poof.

The bookshelves melt away and re-form, but brighter, clearer, more pure. The Symphony sings, and relievers flutter around keeping the shelves tidy.

Jude_Wallace heads up to Heaven, where it isn't so creepy.

White-feathered wings fan out from Jude's back, comforting.

A panda-Cherub tilts its head at Jude. "Hullo. Need something?"

Jude_Wallace says "Hi. I'm looking for Danny. He's a Malakite."

The panda-Cherub thinks. "Okay. Destiny-Virtue?"

Jude_Wallace says "I think he's a good upstanding Judgment Malakite."

The panda-Cherub muses, then whistles.

A reliever flutters down. "Hihihi?"

The Cherub says, "Malakite, Danny, Judgment. Can you find him for this nice young Mercurian?"

The reliever nods. It waves for Jude to follow. "Assignments! This way!"

Jude_Wallace follows. Yay! To Danny!

Heaven is comforting and safe, with blessed souls and angels moving around in harmony and order.

Jude_Wallace relaxes. No bad weird people here. It's Heaven.

<<OOC>> Tarot | Tarot steps out from behind a building... no no no.

Very soon, the reliever is in front of a large book. It flutters about, opening it to a section that reads, in gothic script, "<B>JUDGMENT</B>"

<<OOC>> Tarot snickers.

The reliever asks, "Danny, you say?" as it continues to flip pages into the section that reads "<I>Malakim</I>."

Jude_Wallace nods. "I think so, yeah. He was with a triad and stuff."

Jude_Wallace knows that Danny is no heretic.

The reliever flips pages. "Here we are. Danny, Malakite of Judgment. Room 503 in the Celestial Tribunal. Currently in Heaven, according to the Book!" It beams at Jude. "That help?"

Jude_Wallace ponders. Does he know where that is? Sure he does. "Yep. Thanks bunches!"

Jude_Wallace flies off toward the Celestial Tribunal, room 503.

The reliever smiles and waves as Jude leaves.

Jude_Wallace flies. Flap flap flap.

The Celestial Tribunal is just as Jude left it -- pale towers and spires, open balconies, smooth-polished stone floors, cool ivory walls. Souls and angels bustling around busily, with a sense of duty and purpose in the air.

Room 503 is easily findable. There is a sturdy dark oak door, with the numbers in gothic gold numerals.

Jude_Wallace is glad that it's just how he left it and no one has come by to mess the place up. Those Creationers and their paint, ya know, you never can tell and stuff.

<<OOC>> Tarot | The torture chamber next to it is currently unoccupied, though all the implements are freshly greased.

<<OOC>> Jude_Wallace says "Yay!"

<<OOC>> arcangel tsks at Tarot. "That's in the basement!"

Jude_Wallace knocks on the door. *knock knock knock*

Danny's voice calls, "Come in!"

Jude_Wallace comes on in. "Hihihi Danny."

Danny is sitting at a massive desk, with various papers and recording crystals on it. "Hey, kid! Nice to see you -- did you lose the vessel?"

Jude_Wallace sits in a chair. "No..... I came up a tether and stuff. Wow, your desk is like, huge and important and stuff."

Jude_Wallace decides it's a desk that no demon would ever mess with. A desk devoid of heresy.

Danny bops himself on the forehead. "Oh, right, if you'd lost it you'd be in Trauma. Sorry, keep forgetting. So, what can I do for you, kid?"

Jude_Wallace says "Well, I resonanted on some people, and they weren't very _good_ people."

Danny blinks. "Must've been _really_ bad for you to come looking for me, instead of waiting a week! What'd you get?"

Jude_Wallace says "It was the first time I'd ever run into some bad humans."

Danny sighs. "I know what you mean," he says quietly.

Jude_Wallace recites his encounter with the red haired boy, his girlfriend the sorceress, and what his resonance told him.

Danny frowns and is quickly scribbling down stuff. "And they're in the sanctuary. That's... annoying." He scowls at the scribbling as if it were an icky Shedite.

Jude_Wallace says "But they're humans! I'm supposed to like humans. Humans are, you know, the future and stuff. But... I don't know what to do with bad humans."

Danny sighs again. "It's like this, kid -- sometimes there are humans who aren't keen. Most of them, they're okay, right? But some are real scum. And, well, when you get used to Earth more, and go on triad duty..." He sits back. "You can do what needs to be done, to the slimeballs."

Jude_Wallace says "I gotta... kill them?"

Danny says, his voice as dark as his wings, "Maybe. Sometimes. Sometimes not. You gotta do what's just."

Jude_Wallace chews on his lip. Chew chew chew. This is very very weighty on a young Mercurian.

Jude_Wallace says "I dunno. But I resonated on.... Miss di Ordo."

Jude_Wallace's voice becomes dark and filled with.... evil with that name.

Danny says, "Oh?" He looks very interested. "What'd you see?"

<<OOC>> Tarot polishes her dark, filled with evil nails.

<<OOC>> arcangel gets drafted by spouse, idles. "Be back soon."

<<OOC>> Jude_Wallace says "Zokay."

<<OOC>> Jude_Wallace waits.

<<OOC>> Jude_Wallace plays Muzak.

<<OOC>> Tarot imagines Judgement Muzak.

<<OOC>> Tarot says "Plainsong and psalms?"

<<OOC>> Jude_Wallace says "Toot toot toot toot."

<<OOC>> arcangel awaits hearing what Jude is going to tell Danny he saw.

<<OOC>> Jude_Wallace toots at Beth.

Jude_Wallace recites every... single... detail of his resonance. In even more detail. In glaring detail. And he looks spooked and grossed out.

Danny sits back. "Oooookay. Sorcery." His wings droop slightly. "But I was _sure_ she was honorable. I mean, you don't go running around rescuing people from Hell if you're dishonorable."

Jude_Wallace says "She was in HELL????"

<<OOC>> Tarot gets everywhere!

<<OOC>> Mallory smirks.

<<OOC>> Tarot hms. Okay, I have yet to get to Heaven.

<<OOC>> Tarot says "But give me time."

<<OOC>> Mallory says "Nothing wrong with Hell. Well, with certain parts of it."

<<OOC>> Danny grins at Tarot.

<<OOC>> Tarot says "(And a back doorway.)"

Jude_Wallace is thinking, oh man.

Danny nods to Jude. "Yeah. She was hauling someone out of there. Because it was the _honorable_ thing to do."

Jude_Wallace says "But but but but but but but SHE'S BAD!"

Danny looks up. "She's _honorable!_"

Jude_Wallace says "But she's into sorcery and she has tattoos and she's from some weird Marches place and and and..."

Jude_Wallace says "She's BAD!"

Danny says, "There are white sorceresses, a few, and some humans are into tattoos."

Danny says, "She's _not_ a Habbalite."

<<OOC>> Tarot offers to tattoo Jude.

Jude_Wallace sulks a little. "But my resonance picked up all that nasty stuff, and that she's in service to someone - a demon, I bet - and stuff and more stuff and Danny, everything I learned in Heaven told me she's bad.

Danny sighs. "And you didn't pick up that she was in service to the ArchDean?"

Jude_Wallace says "No. To someone else."

Danny frowns. "No relation to the ArchDean at all?"

Jude_Wallace says "She works for the Archdean. Someone else she's sworn service to."

Danny ponders. "Hm. Well, it _could_ be in her records already..." He scribbles more. "I'll add this to her files, and check while I'm there, maybe." He looks up. "She is _very_ honorable, you know. I mean, she's a lot better than most humans."

Jude_Wallace says, grumpily, "She's still into sorcery and that's bad."

Danny says, with the focus of a Virtue, "It's only bad if she's sworn herself to Hell and summons demons and ethereals. And she hasn't sworn herself to Hell. She's a Soldier of God. Maybe she knows how to banish demons or something."

Jude_Wallace says "Oh."

Jude_Wallace sulks a little.

Danny says, "Of course, if she betrays Heaven's trust -- we get her." He grins. Like a Malakite.

Jude_Wallace perks up alot. "Oh! Okay!"

<<OOC>> Mallory says "Oy."

<<OOC>> Tarot says "There's a nice pair of Dominicans. I admire that sort of dedication."

<<OOC>> Daimon says "HEY! I'm dedicated!"

<<OOC>> Tarot says "I know."

<<OOC>> Daimon says "Okay, maybe not to Judgment...."

Danny says, "So you need to keep checking her out. First time you pick up that she's betrayed Heaven, you call in -- and we take care of it."

Jude_Wallace says "Okay!"

Jude_Wallace seems all in favor of this plan.

Jude_Wallace says "So, um, what do I do about the other two humans? They're, like, in my class and stuff."

Danny thinks. "Watch 'em. As long as they're on the sanctuary grounds, we can't get 'em without asking permission -- which we almost never get. But if you build up a case..." He gives that Malakite-predator grin again.

Jude_Wallace says "Ooooooooh."

Jude_Wallace seems suddenly... clued.

<<OOC>> Jude_Wallace is young! YOUNG!

Danny grins. "See? You don't have to get them _instantly._ But you find 'em, and then you call in the troops..."

Jude_Wallace says "Then we GET 'EM!"

Danny gives Jude a thumbs-up. "You got it, kid!"

Jude_Wallace grins from ear to ear.

Danny asks, "That help, kid?"

Jude_Wallace says "Yeah, thanks Danny."

<<OOC>> Tarot hugs poor Jude. I love him.

<<OOC>> Danny looks mildly jealous.

<<OOC>> Tarot hugs Danny chastely.

<<OOC>> Danny hugs Tarot. Chastely.

<<OOC>> Jude_Wallace would hug Tarot but she's Under Investigation.

<<OOC>> Jude_Wallace is sure there's a rule about that.

<<OOC>> Tarot | When hugging someone under investigation, always take care to inspect their backs for convenient insertion of knives.

Danny stands up so he can clap Jude on the shoulder. "Great! Anything else you need?"

Jude_Wallace says "Um, I dunno. I gotta go read this book."

Jude_Wallace says "Oh no! I have Miss di Ordo's class in the morning!"

Danny says, "Hey, you'd better get back down and get your book read, then!"

Jude_Wallace says "But but but but I ran out of her office and stuff."

Danny blinks. "Oh. Hm. Well, you can always just not say anything about it?"

<<OOC>> Danny is honorable, not necessarily polite.

<<OOC>> Tarot grins. Sounds fair to me.

<<OOC>> Jude_Wallace huggies Danny.

Jude_Wallace says "Is that polite?"

Danny shrugs, a little sheepishly. "Well, probably not. Maybe you just keep quiet and if she asks, explain that you had to go talk to one of your fellow Servitors?"

Jude_Wallace says "Okay, that sounds good."

Danny ruffles Jude's hair. "You ready to go back, then, kid?"

Jude_Wallace says "Yeah, Danny! You're so cool."

Danny grins. "Thanks!" He makes little shoo motions, still smiling. "Back to work for us both now, right?"

Jude_Wallace says "I gotta go read and stuff."

Jude_Wallace stands up, and admires Danny's desk, which is very desk like. It has all the properties of a desk.

It is a big desk, formidable, and obviously designed to ooooze judgment!

Danny nods, and waves a salute. "Go in justice, kid!"

Jude_Wallace runs around the desk, and gives Danny a hug. "Thanks! I will!"

<<OOC>> Tarot wonders if Danny often gets mentoring roles... awww.

Jude_Wallace then goes tearing back off to the tether.

Danny blinks and then hugs back. "See you around!"

The Tether is there, with the panda-Cherub still guarding it patiently.

Jude_Wallace says "Hihihi. I'm ready to go back."

The panda-Cherub smiles. "Great. Hope your visit went well." It flips a wing, obviously giving permission for Jude to descend.

Jude_Wallace descends back to earth.

The books fade and reform, more solid and heavy now, more corporeal. The Symphony chimes Jude's arrival.

Jude_Wallace goes "Ta-da." And then he wanders back to his room.

The Roommate appears to be gone. But he left the window open.

Jude_Wallace closes the door and lounges in his room. Lounge.

<<OOC>> arcangel ends off about here, mayhap? "Spouse wants food, and I have to run down to the store to buy some milk."

<<OOC>> Tarot grins.

<<OOC>> Jude_Wallace says "Okie."

<<OOC>> Jude_Wallace was Judelike!

<<OOC>> Tarot says "You were!"

<<OOC>> arcangel says "Yeah!"

<<Scene Stop>>

Tarot hugs you both admiringly.

Mallory just shakes his head.

arcangel pantpantpants. Grins.

Mallory says "The phrase 'mere pup' comes to mind."

Daimon is FUNNY!

Daimon says "Jude has alot of energy."

Tarot nods.

arcangel hugs Jude and Tarot. Strokes a finger down between Mallory's eyes.

Mallory looks slightly crosseyed at arcangel.

arcangel strokes down Mallory's nose again. It's a cute nose.

Mallory blinks at arcangel. Twice. "Why, may I ask, are you caressing my nose?"

arcangel tells Mallory. "You have a very nice nose."

Tarot says "Tarot is a lot more jaded."

Daimon says "Jude is very very very very young."

Daimon says "And very enthusiastic about Judgment!"

Daimon says "He just doesn't have any."

arcangel laughs!

Tarot grins.

Tarot says "This is why he's been sent to Earth! To develop it."

Daimon says "Jude is there to learn how to have Judgment."

Daimon says "He's totally confused by bad humans. There are no bad humans in heaven!"

Daimon says "Don't bother to point out the logic of this to him. It'll be lost."

Tarot grins.

Tarot says "Tarot goes back to her rooms, has a glass of absinthe, ponders the world, sighs, reads a little, goes to sleep."

arcangel grins.

Jude thinks about new ways to smite evil and reads his assignment. :)

arcangel wonders what Danny is going to do with this knowledge that Tarot is, horrors, a sorceress.

Jude makes lists of how to smite evil. Much of it includes red hot pokers.

arcangel giggles.

arcangel wonders if Danny has the Song of Dreams.

Tarot says "Oh... dear."

Luckily, Jude is entirely bereft of red hot pokers. He does have a single white sneaker. That will have to do.

Tarot eyes the number of potential visitors to her dreamscape worriedly.

Tarot | Will you people please leave, I'm trying to sleep!

arcangel | Danny : You are sleeping!

Tarot | TAROT : Hardly peacefully.

arcangel | Danny : Hey, peace is hard to get.
