Tiwa

Liam opens the door into a room that's normally used as a practice room for everything from illusion work to sword so the walls are full of a motley of things.

Two people turn towards the door, a young woman with curly red hair and presence beyond her young years who hugs Liam before her eyes go wide at all the people following behind him.

The other is a Maori man who has a bit of Tiwa's laughter in his eyes and face just he towers even above Liam, a few inches above six feet and he has the start of sleeve tattoos on his arms who asks,

"All of them are going to help us?"

(OOC: Don't worry about order to start with, just want everyone to tag in under to create one thread of entering and then start splitting up. So yes, keep going with intros, won't take long, promise.)

When she left the Bar, Tiwa didn't go bird just yet, she could feel a strange sort of Glamour about and being girl was easier. The trail was quiet, no bikers dashing headlong or lost hikers who couldn't find the nice big trail to the top when she found the ball of something.

Carefully she knelt down, it was almost too bright more like a neon light than the warm glow she was used to then someone laughed and the air was suddenly too dense,

"Hello, birdy. No more flying today."

She knows his face and laugh and tries to run and again the air feels solid, hemming her in,

"Oh no, can't have you leaving, much to do with you."

"I'll scream, can't hold me."

Somewhere in her pockets is her poi and she starts spinning and spinning it and starting to chant then she can't breathe, "No tricks though this will make it simpler."

Then the world fades to black as the air in her lungs is stolen.

The cage is set; beautiful iron full of magic as the floor has been traced with patterns and secrets. He's still laughing slightly when he enters, Tiwa still held in the bubble of air a step or two behind.

Okay, I'm posting this here and at Tiwa's journal. In a couple of OOMs that can be found on here, I've been creating this idea that there's a Mage, probably a Hermetic and a Vampire, probably a Tremere trying to gain control of the Freehold in Wellington. For those that don't know World of Darkness, Fae and Mages both draw their power from similar sources: Glamour and Quintessence so a Fae Freehold could also be used as a Mage Node. The Vampire is involved because the Tremere are the more mystical of the Vampires and New Zealand is small.

My idea was that these two men have been allies elsewhere and weren't welcomed in the strongholds of New Zealand for their groups so have moved to Wellington which the Fae mainly control. So far they've tried one direct attack which failed and now are trying to get sneakier and attack the weaker members of the Fae which are the younger children. This means that they're going to kidnap Tiwa as a means of exerting power over the Fae but also for research since the Mage and Vampire are both scholars of sorts.

I haven't figured out all the details of this and would appreciate any ideas because I'm good at broad strokes plot but not always smaller stuff. One reason I'm posting this is because after Tiwa's captured, her friend Liam is going to end up in mixed_muses asking for help and I'm wondering who would be interested in playing NPCs and being part of the rescue party.

A resource that might be helpful for a sense of the world and some of the players is my NaNo start, its not very long but its all set in her world and shows the first major attack that the Vampire and Mage did. Please comment on either post or ping me if you're interested or just with ideas.
