War of the Demon

((locked to evil_god_monkey, spiderinscarlet, harley_is_love, spinstales, dragon_paragon, and associated spin-off journals of this one.))
((I'm going to at least kick things off here, so we can set up a whole division of labor and that kind of thing, even if not everyone's going to be around just yet. Things will likely spill out into some of my other journals as the action gets going.

I'm also going to be just a smidge presumptious in some of the assumptions of who's already gathered. Kakyoin and Gregory-muns, please forgive me.))


It was the fullest the Great Hall of Castle Wyvern had ever been. There was the Manhattan Clan: Goliath, Elisa, Brooklyn, Hudson, Katana, Lexington, Broadway, Angela, the watchbeasts, Bronx and Fu-Dog, and the hatchlings--Gregory (and quite possibly his father as well), Nashville, and Tachi. Many would have prefered to keep them out of this, especially Tachi, but it was quite likely they would be fighting for the very world tonight. They deserved to know what their elders were getting themselves into.

There was the Labyrinth Clan: Talon, Maggie the Cat, Claw, Delilah, Malibu, Brentwood, Hollywood, and Burbank. And of course, Kakyoin, permanent immigrant and Gargoyle LOL subject.

Matthew Bluestone, detective with the NYPD. Former partner to Elisa, ally to the Clan.

David Xanatos, billionaire, schemer, newfound ally. Fox Xanatos, his wife, formerly of the Pack. Owen Burnett, the Puck, trickster, powerless except in protection or instruction of Alexander Xanatos. New allies, all.

And, of course, newfound allies from afar: Ben, Faye, and Harley. Each special in their own way, with histories too long to go into here. The word had been sent, and it was on them that they waited.

It was, quite simply, a council of war.

"The yo-yo's are easy enough to use," Harley is still playing with hers. "They have five different settings on them from harmless to really really bad."

She noted that it would be better to save Ivy's Bella-Donna mixture for later, in case her group had to get by guards or something like that. She also had to make sure that the Scarecrow fear cannister was still safely stored away.

"I think we have to remember that Demona wanted your names dragged through mud. She will be expecting us. And she will have something up her sleeve to make the clan look really bad in the eyes of the people. All three teams should be careful not to fall into a trap."

"And remember, the bad guys have no problem using innocent people to make the good guys look bad."

"Right," Brooklyn adds. "if she can't make things better for herself, at least she can make things worse for us. She can outwait us, after all."

"So we do this smart. Everybody be wary," Elisa says. "We leave in ten, people. Make sure you're ready. Anyone wants to back out now, we understand."
