Skylar
Skylar didn't ask for this, but she's got to deal with the cards that the eldritch gods dealt to her, because maybe, JUST MAYBE, she'll be able to take her 'sisters' and lead a normal [un]life after this. She might not be the brains of the operation, but she's definitely the brawn, which is why she'll often let her fists do the talking. She's not going to take crap from anyone, so try not to threaten her or her 'sisters' unnecessarily.
Taryn
As a purely logical thinker, Taryn sees the world in black and white: something is either Correct or it is Incorrect. She's not someone to go to if you need an empathetic pat on the back, but she's a keen problem solver and still very eager to help. It's hard to rile her up, as she's the type that can take most things in stride. They're already dead, aren't they? How much worse could it get?
Dahlia
Excited and always ready to Have Fun with the sacrifices, Dahlia is looking to bring the fun into sacrificial rituals. Death is temporary, but friendship lasts forever, and work is not work if you enjoy it. Right?

An amnesiac three-headed cerberus that calls themselves Tinea; however, they also adopted the names of Serena, Luna, Isis, and Vastella. They lived in a fog ridden cave behind the morgue for some time, but after having been shown kindness by the people of Shadowpeaks they decided to take residence in the church. Now they spend their time there with their 'little moths' or members of Acedia... at least when they're not assigned to another Sin Team. For the price of some meat you can receive healing from them.
Guardian of the Lunar Coven
Fae is a self-absorbed brat. She lives around a broken stump surrounded by a fairy ring in the forest to the east of the cul-de-sac. You should avoid disturbing her ‘home’, because she’s incredibly protective of it, and she won’t hesitate to lash out and curse you if you don’t heed her warnings. But she’s not wholly unreasonable, and if you’re interested in small utility abilities, cosmetic modifications, and/or small transformations, then she’s here to help… for a price. You can 'reach' her HERE.
Pinilope
Pinilope is a gremlin who loves shiny things, weird science, and the greatest thing of all time: PINS! You will never see Pinni without at least a vest's worth of pins on her at all time. She loves collecting anything shiny and interesting. This includes pins, puns, and weird fun facts. She is, however, not especially bright, and is easily riled up when a situation isn't working out exactly the way she pictured.
Wadsworth
An enigmatic robot butler, who shows signs of evolved intelligence, though he still has a limited understanding of humans and their emotions. While he politely insists he is around to provide aid and support to the people of Shadowpeaks –is he actually helping? His employer remains a mystery, but it is highly likely everything he does is still in service to them and their goals.
Mr. Beat
Mr. Beat will give it his all, as long as the children of Shadowpeaks do the same. He does come off as a lazybones, as he likes to lounging around with a drink or a snack in hand. He even has a bag of cookies he carries with him, but he'll tell you those are for a special occasion. Every so often you might catch him startling and looking at his hands, almost like he's forgotten his current state of being? Wow, weird. But he's pretty laid back and calm otherwise. There's nothing that can get under his skin, after all.
Bob
He's just some guy that works as a conductor and loves spiders.
Re: 🥀 reaper @ ratio.
You will likely need to invade her territory and I expect that to come with a number of its own risks.
And what kind of assistance are you talking about. I, myself, will not be joining you, as I cannot interfere anymore than I already have. But, go on, I’m listening.
Re: 🥀 reaper @ ratio.
No, I do not think you should join us even if you were willing. However, if you insist on us going in to retrieve her, I believe this will work best as a stealth mission. I am capable of portaling, but only to areas I've already been to. I have never been so much as close to where I'm sure Skylar is cowering.
You were the one to turn us into those masks, were you not? If you could perhaps lend me and one other the ability to either shrink or disguise us in order to allow us to avoid notice until we find her?
I also need to know if it's possible for us to use our powers within the facility, or if we'll need a different method to escape once we grab her.
Re: 🥀 reaper @ ratio.
And who is this one another you speak of... [ he steps closer so he can sniff ratio. ] And you can likely use them in the facility... at least in some places. I cannot guarantee that you will always be able to do so. As for escaping... I can guarantee that, if nothing else, although I will have to know that you've gotten her.
Re: 🥀 reaper @ ratio.
You weren't expecting me to do this on my own, were you? [ He can absolutely smell Aventurine on Ratio. ] ...you're familiar with him already. The blonde gambler. He has a useful set of skills that should come in handy for such a mission.
As long as you can guarantee us an escape once we capture her and a way to get into the facility itself without drawing notice, we can handle the rest.
Re: 🥀 reaper @ ratio.
Not at all. I'm just surprised you want to bring... him. He's your mate? [ you're never going to escape that, ratio. ] Is it because he takes such ridiculous risks? I suppose I can see how that comes in handy... though that can be as dangerous as it is useful. I hope you keep a tight leash on him.
I will guarantee you an escape out of the facility... I'll lend you my scythe, which will allow you to escape into the other world, but you'll have to navigate that back to the graveyard, where I will be waiting. A path of lilies will guide you, but I'm sure you can remember how trying the journey was. My scythe will help, but it still will not be easy.
Re: 🥀 reaper @ ratio.
[ Well. It's the correct term for wolves, which these creatures at least seem to be partially lupine, so it's the easiest way to let them understand........... and maybe he likes thinking of Aventurine as his mate a little bit ]
Your... scythe. Of course.
...I do remember the journey. But we've made it once before, and we can do it again. Though it may be a bit more troublesome with a captive...
Does your scythe have any other abilities I can utilize?
Re: 🥀 reaper @ ratio.
[ he looks toward his scythe. ] I will show you how to use two of its abilities, but if you reveal my secrets to anybody but your mate you will find yourself buried six feet under. [ don’t fuck with him, ratio. ]
Besides being able to tear a hole into the other world you’ll gain the ability to manipulate my talisman. [ guess who is going to grow antlers… you! ] You can imbue a talisman with a command, and while yours may not last for longer than a minute or so it should still give you ample time to act accordingly. [ he removes one from his own antlers, whispering kneel against it, & prompting the symbols for the word to appeal in blood on it. he puts it on ratio’s head and the man will suddenly feel his body forced to act accordingly. he can try to fight it, but it’s going to be difficult ( if not impossible ). ]
And if you should swing my scythe at an adversary then you’ll find that you not only drain them of some of their life, but you leave them with a seed that will sprout to continue to do the same over time. [ like leech seed in Pokémon. ]
Re: 🥀 reaper @ ratio.
[ .............he doesn't bother trying to prevent it, allowing himself to kneel down in front of him. ]
...a demonstration was unnecessary. I understand. You have quite a useful arsenal of techniques.
Re: 🥀 reaper @ ratio.
On the contrary, I thought it was completely necessary. Just let me know when you’d like to set out. You can reach me anytime by coming to the graveyard and calling to me.
Re: 🥀 reaper @ ratio.
...yes, I can see that. I'll be in contact as soon as the gambler and I determine when the best time to act will be.
Re: 🥀 reaper @ ratio.
I look forward at hearing from you. Try not to take too long. If she catches wind of a possible attack, then she’ll go into hiding and we may never be able to successfully get to her.
Re: 🥀 reaper @ ratio.
She'll be in hiding regardless, if she's in any way intelligent. But no matter, we'll track her down as soon as possible.
Re: 🥀 reaper @ ratio.
Re: 🥀 reaper @ ratio.
...indeed. Until then.
