Cisco and Pestilence discuss Death and the inevitable inferno of Hell's Kitchen.

The history of the horsemen as told by Pestilence, "... in the spirit of intrigue and mystery that is our existence, I'll share with you the tails or... 'truths' that are known. How is that?"

Rubi/Famine makes trump contact with Yosannah. Rubi nods. "You should not lose yourself. Don't be scared of her. Let me talk to her..." Yosannah shakes her head, "I can't.. She's been getting stronger since the ordeal in the Kitchen. I don't think I can find my way back if I let go this time..."

Damen has a new business venture, Damen says "An adult establishment called the Desert Rain....." Present are Selene, Brandon, and Riva.

Bar-room chit chat about the 'Dalt Auction'. Selene and Yosannah discuss making their way back to the Horsemen's home shadow. Ryker listens in on their conversation and offers up ideas of his own.

Yosannah tries to pry some personal information from the ever elusive, Mr. Smith. Smith says, "Recently I haven't been doing hits. I've been doing mercenary work. I've been cleaning a rebel resistance. I'm ex Special Forces; ex Operations." Yosannah ooos, "Ex operations? Like on that TNT show, La Femme Nikita?"

Yosannah runs into Brandon at the dockyard in Dover. While at Gideon, Ryker drops by and shares some information about his new endeavor.

Meeting Rhiannon at the Cathedral. That night, in the Ways of Sawall, Yosannah talks with her hands, gesturing as she speaks, "Something is wrong. Like a growing threat in the back of my mind."

Sitting with Joshua in the World's End. An understanding is reached. Later that night, Selene meets up with Yosannah in the Courts and they exchange confidences.

August 28, 2003

Wind wisps over Yosannah as she stands looking out over the cliffs and to the crashing waters below. Her head turns, eyes searching woods and hills for the unseen source of the melody. Waves of auburn spill over her eyes and she is forced to tuck loose strands behind her ear. From the fathomless depths of the dead craggy woods the mysteriously melodious voice sings it's melancholy relic.

September 3, 2003

Lisle speaks of the broken pattern, "This is one of those things you're curious about. Note," as if she's a professor, "Note the darkness of the place. Feel the fear. The design there upon the ground is like one I walked in Amber, only evil."

September 7, 2003

Stone, Despil, Riva and Yosannah discuss Nash as well as the Stone's cursed watch, "You know, the thing came from a corpse. Maybe you just need to die and our problems will be solved." Stone hmms, "Problem is if you're wrong that kind of limits my other choices."

September 16, 2003

In the study. "You're wrong about me. It's never been about wanting, Damen."

September 17, 2003

A flicker of motion from the great toothy peak sends a tongue of blue light arcing down to touch the spire. With a burst of blinding blue-white the lightning slits into countless fragments that fly back up into the clouds. Moments later, they fall again, towards the air-borne figures...

A late night at Gideon with Stone, Ryker, Despil, Elektra and Lisle.

October 11, 2003

Smears of bloody fingermarks appear on the glass as it rolls. A ripping noise and a harsh utterance, like a curse, as a piece of torn paper flutters down to the floor near the table. Riva's chair moves as if something has just brushed past it.

October 25, 2003

A trump call with Stone. Inquiries are made.

October 28, 2003

She clutches, one arm going about his neck, body pressed tightly to him as she states, in close, "You enjoy this, don't you." The question is clearly rhetorical. Jurt insists, "I'm innocent, I tell you."

November 16, 2003

Talking with Joshua in World's End, "So, how's that whole disease thing been going for you lately." Yosannah reaches for a bottle and chuckles lightly, "The disease thing." She sips, eyes lingering on him, "I still do that /disease/ thing. What about you? How's that whole asshole thing going.

December 9, 2003

Brandon and Yosannah discuss false trumps. She organizes the cards and tucks them back into the velvet case, "My mommy always told me not to take trumps from strangers." She hands the case back, "Now I know why." Later, with Stone, Yosannah notes, "Some chap with the unusual name of Merle Beriman."

A birthday party in Avalon. Stone says "Ah, that makes sense too. You're the token Shadow he sleeps with." "Did it ever occur to you that I just might be good?" Yosannah sets the glass down rather then drink from it and wiggles her fingers to demonstrate what she means by 'good'. "I mean, come on now." "That's what I'm talking about. You being good."

March 9, 2004

Avalon - day two. Confusion and chaos abounds.

March 12, 2004

Avalon - day five. Maryushka returns Yosannah's gaze, and even offers a tidy curtsey as she notes her manner. But her voice is confident as she asks, "Are you sure you are ready for the gift it contains?" "Gift?" Yosannah is doubtful, "That I came upon the apple hardly merits I should be given any such thing. But if it pleases you miss, I would do my part. If it means some good for Avalon, that is."

Discovered. Ryker states, "I get it. So secondly, you two can't work this deal out with Scott? Or have you even tried." Scott speaks up. "They haven't tried.

May 10, 2004

Ryker turns his aging squint over on her, pausing his pacing."Tell me why you care so much." Demanding. Yosannah's gaze goes upward in an effort to choke back emotion. She's successful for the moment, "For the same reason I keep working though you tell me it's a waste of time. For the same reason I let myself fall in ..." She exhales, a short exhileration of breath, "Heh. Because it's how I keep my sanity through all of this. How I keep my humanity. I don't have family anymore Ryker. If I lose my humanity, I'll have nothing."

Though she does not speak through the contact, her expression wears worry, "There's talk here in Begma that he's left you in charge. What's going on?" Dai frowns. "Son of a bitch. Hell if I know. This is the first I've heard of it." He massages the bridge of his nose. "He didn't leave any note or anything about where he was going or anything?"

December 6, 2004

The room is dark as pitch, void of anything except a single spotlight that cuts through the shadow like a razor. It highlights what remains of a man. Flesh and muscle long ago stripped to allow access to veins and arteries, that have been separated from the body to disappear into the darkness. It is here that science meets machine. Magic weds with medicine.

December 14, 2004
