OOC: Long-winded post to get Kitsune and Oldkit out of action for at least a while, introduce my own character, and get him in to the action right quick. Please forgive. /OOC
Oldkit and Kitsune wern't having the best time of things. What they originally thought was a small force turned out to be a small army of Unseen ones- hundreds upon hundreds of them clawing at them, trying to take them out. Robbed of his powers of teleportation and flight by some unseen force, the two Kits have holed up in a building, attempting to hold the creatures off for as long as possible. Currently there is a lull in the assault as the Unseen ones plan on how to best get into the building Kit and Oldkit are in.
"This isn't quite working out how we planned it, is it Kit?"
"No, not at all, big brother."
"So you arn't gonna be able to go in and save Kit-chan's ass, again."
"No, I guess I won't," Kit said, starting to become angry.
"Well, now that THAT plan to impress you daughter has fallen apart, shouldn't you get someone else to look after her for a while?"
"It was not a plan to impress her!"
"...right."
"...who would I contact to look after Kit-chan for a while?"
"There is that chaplain guy you know. He and Kit-chan seem to get along fine, and he's a competant man. And he's not catholic."
"How exactly am I gonna contact him, or take him to Kit-chan, when I can't even go to her myself?!"
"Is Anubis suppressing your reasoning as well as your powers? You have various ways of contacting him, and just because you can't teleport yourself out of here doesn't mean you can't open up a portal to whever-the-hell your daughter is right now from where Michael is."
"...do you always have to be a smartass about things?"
"I only point out the world as I see it. Its not my fault you're brainless sometimes."
"Fine..."
Kit concentrated for a moment, and off in Jerusalem, Israel, an older man sat comforatably in a chair. He was chatting with some old friends in his home, when he heared the quasi-familiar tapping on his conciousness. Excusing himself, he went into another room and concentrated on it.
Kitsune? Is that you?
Yes...I don't have much time, I need your help.
Whats wrong?
I don't have the time to...
Kitsune? Kitsune!
...sorry, to explain. I want you to look after Kit-chan until I can contact you again. A portal should be opening up in your bedroom right now. Whats going on is...
Abruptly, the mental connection closed between the two. Wincing in pain, Michael Theon went back into the living room and explained there had been a minor emergency and he had to go out of town for an unknown amount of time. Nodding in understanding (everyone knew Michael still did 'deniable' work for certain people) his friends got up and left.
Taking out a cell phone, he left a message on his wife's voicemail that he'd be out for a little while- her and their daughter were visiting the in-laws in America, some place he couldn't go at the moment, and he had stayed home. He said that he should be back before they got home, though he really didn't know.
Breaking out his old Colt Commando, he quickly loaded up 5 extra managzines and begins the long process of putting on his kevlar vest. Zipping it up, he is just self-concious (or senile) enough to note that the vest fits a bit tighter then it did the last time he needed to put it on (years ago.) From wooden case engraved with the letters "T.O.G. 51," he takes a beaten-up looking spear. Slinging it into a small hole in his kevlar vest made just for that, he pulled back the charging handle on his weapon, and stepped into his bedroom.
Its a sparsely decorated room...a cabinent, a closet, and a small table beside a queen-sized bed with a picture of him and his family. Wife, baby girl and himself, decked out in civilian cloths and looking happy as hell. And in the middle of the room, a glowing, greenish rip in reality, leading to God-knew-where. Taking a breath, he took the picture out of its frame, tucked it into one of his vest pockets, and stepped through.
He landed almost right next to Kit-chan, hit the ground rolling and tried to take stock of the situation. Seeing various undefinable somethings being fended off by someone he doesn't know and Kit-chan, he unslung his spear and raised it high.
"Oh my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended thee. I detest all my sins because of your just punishment, but most of all because they offend you, my God, who art all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of your grace, to sin no more and to avoid the near occasion."
As he speaks, the Unseen ones immediately around Kit and Indigo cower and fall back, seeking less disturbing prey. That done, he slung the spear, gestured for Kit-chan to stay low, and jogged over to her.
"What...Michael...where did you..."
"Your dad asked me to babysit you for a little while...he's busy for now."
"I hardly need babysitting!"
"I know, I know...but thats what your dad wanted. So here I am."
Kit-chan held back the acid retort she was on the verge of saying.
"Well, glad to have your help, old man," She said, smiling.
"Old! Pfft."
