Solomons Nightmare Battle With Victoria 240804


(Solomon's nightmare battle with Victoria)

[Sat Aug 3 2024]

In a Homely Living Room
The tranquil living room has floor-to-ceiling walls lined in light-colored handmade Danish bricks, pale polished concrete floors and Douglas fir timber ceilings, and is furnished with a monumental black leather sectional and low slung birch wooden table to keep the focus on the wrap-around views. The designer clad the walls flanking the fireplace in black painted wood slats, leaving one wall blank and adding black floating shelves to the other to provide space for a few carefully curated decorative objects. Layered rugs define the seating area, twin floor lamps add symmetry and ambient lighting, and the rest of the decor is kept minimal to keep the focus on the architecture of the room. The eastern wall has been painted a nice, even terracotta hue.

It is about 75F(23C) degrees.

Solomon says "And who do we have here?"
Jodie gives Victoria an upnod and says, "Sup?" as if she just met her casually on the street.

Victoria says "Hey there."
Solomon says "Who do I have the pleasure?"
Victoria says "Oh, it's Victoria. You?"
"You are lucky I showed up." Jodie assures Victoria then she looks to where she thinks the voice is out in the darkness of the nightmare, "Jodie's here too."

Solomon says "I see. Wolves, it seems like, and more of you than me. This will be swift, I suspect, and not in my favor."
Victoria blinks her eyes, frowning.

Solomon checks his black sword in its bindings, beginning some casual incantation.

Jodie says "Can we get this over with? I'm trying to get laid"
Victoria says "I'll agree it would be nice."
Solomon says "The world is often inconvenient. I was about business."
"It's a new moon so this might even be a fair fight." Jodie suggest, though she sounds a little too cocky

Solomon says "Numbers rule."
"Come on then," Victoria murmurs, tapping a foot.

Solomon says "I'm waiting on you."
Victoria(wolf) leaps forward, all claws and fangs.

Solomon steps back as the wolf advances, chanting as he does. He traces some red sigil in the air, to open a gate to Hell. "We'll see how this goes."

Jodie seems vaguely surprised by Victoria(wolf)'s turn and says, "Well. Didn't know what you were before. Cool." then she rushes at Solomon with her mace to lay the beat down.

Now the sword comes out -- Solomon draws it with some vigor, bringing it in a broad slide to clang against Jodie's mace. He grunts, his eyes burning red before he takes a step back.

Jodie barely blocks Solomon's swing, huffing a bit at he effort of holding him back till he retreats, she takes the opprotunity to take a pot shot at him that goes wide

Victoria(wolf) advances further, closing the gap between herself and Solomon, taking a broad swipe of claws through the air.

Now, as Solomon's hellhound appears, the wolf is on me. The red-eyed devil moves, slashing down at Victoria(wolf) as she dodges him. "Poor girl," he tells Victoria(wolf). "This will have to be a -- discussion -- soon."

Jodie is garbage with her rifle, especially in such a tight space as the nightmare. So instead she rushes in close to Solomon to give her mace some use again. Swinging hard with supernatural strength to try and crush Solomon, unfortunately it's blocked

Victoria(wolf) dodges Solomon's sword once, turning with a snarl and snapping jaws to attempt to rip flesh.

The red-eyed monster pirouettes -- he is a devil with that black blade -- as Solomon brings it up, covering his retreat, for some targeted low strike against Jodie even as he twists to the side to avoid Victoria(wolf)'s jaws. As he does, his hellhound paces nearby, raining fire.

Jodie turns her focus to the hellhound, rushing towards it to start bashing it to the best of her abilities, she gives Victoria(wolf) an order, "Keep on him."

Victoria(wolf) whirls around as Jodie focuses on the summoned hellhound, pacing towards Solomon again with a low snarl.

The retreat, and then the feint: Solomon meets Jodie's rushing charge with the black blade held in low guard, and then his hand finds a high stance on it to thrust up like a spear, to hit her vest with some awful blunt impact. Fire blossoms around the fight in little mushroom explosions, even as he twists to flip over Victoria(wolf) with impossible grace, landing on his feet. He beckons with one hand. "I wait for both you," he says, red eyes gleaming.

Jodie might've decided that the minion wasn't worth the time or something Solomon said drew her attention, either way she returns her attention to him

Solomon says "Well. "
