Black Alice has posed:
Alice has been ordering a lot of delivery for the last week or so. She isn't sure she wants to deal with finding the Sanctum again if she leaves.

I mean sure 'Dr. Strange' hasn't asked her to leave but he might just make her fight the spells to come back.

So yeah deliveries. Food. Booze. Stuff from amazon.

Tonight though she is expecting a delivery from a courier from an occult antique shop on the upper west side.

The Sanctum is hard to find like Alice worries about. Sure the address on the shipping order is accurate and when you arrive you don't see it. Looking around for it will let it fade in before your head turns back. You have an official business invited this once by the occupants.

Omnis has posed:
Like usual, she is using her talents to make sure she gets there within the time she offers. She is the fastest courrier in the city, or so she claims. It's hard to argue with it when she can fold her bike up, put it on her shoulder and...well, she's across the city at nearly half the speed of sound via rooftops. She lands right near the address requested, unfolds her bike and hops on. A moment later she is biking at somewhat above natural speeds through the streets, easily avoiding people with impressive agility before she comes to a skidding stop near to the location.

A soft glow comes from her that fades quickly. Most who saw it likely thought it a trick of the light. She lets out a slow breath before she folds her bike up and easily puts it over her shoulder, holding her satchel over the other. She uses her impressive physical form to make such a feat only impress, not make people question as she glances slowly around.

"What...the?" She asks of no one in particular as she looks at the address again and then blinks as she spots the place. Those with the senses likely notice something approaching...something dead? Undead? It's very unclear. Then there's a knock at the door.

Black Alice has posed:
Lori cracks an eye open when she realizes that Sanctum is informing her of an approaching unnatural visitor. "Huh.. never thuoght the shop would spring for supernatural delivery methods... that is bound to go all Needful Things on them eventually I bet..."

She heads out of her room, past the magical artifact display area, and down to the front door.

Shortly after you knock she opens the door wearing black pajama pants and a blood red tank top. "That was super speedy... I guess you get what you pay for when you are rich and impatient." honestly she used Sanctum funds, this is sort of work related after all.

The interior behind Alice is surprising. I mean sure the front looked nice enough for a reasonably sized brownstone. Inside. It sure seems bigger and impressive as all hell behind her.

Omnis has posed:
A smile and she gives a nod, "I am the best." She chuckles and nods her head as she looks around. Kally blinks as she looks inside and then at Alice, "So, this place...is weird." She states and then looks around it a moment, seeming confused as to why her senses don't seem to and didn't seem to work. She looks confused a moment before looking back to Alice and hten she opens her satchel and pulls out a box. She then slides out a tablet and opens it up, "Either way." She offers the tablet where she can sign.

Black Alice has posed:
"You have no idea. It is three floors of spacious bullshit and weirdness..... and that is saying something what this being New York."

Lori reaches for the tablet. Twirling the pen as she reads it over. Always read every contract so you don't sell your soul on accident.

She taps the stylus and says something that sounds like nonsense, casting a spell to dispell illusions and grant true sight in case it is trying to trick her.

"Right... there we go.." she signs and offers the tablet back.

Omnis has posed:
A smile as she takes the signature and then offers the box over, "So, like, weirdness? What kind of weirdness if you don't mind me asking?" She asks as she offers the box over to Alice and then looks back to her, "I mean, on the weird stuff meter, this place is pretty high on mine." She nods her head, "I'm fully sure this place was not here when I just arrived here.

Black Alice has posed:
Alice accepts her box and squints at it then tucks it under her arm.

"Yeah it is a super strange house, like .. yeah no words...." she grins "I mean you can ask what I mean, or you could tell me why the weird house tld me something sort of dead.. undead.. so complicated was delivering the box. That isn't too common usually it is just a side gig human type person." bright bitchy smile.

Omnis has posed:
A blink at that and then she looks around a moment and then back at Alice, "If you are asking if I'm dead, I'm very not." She states and nods her head, "Pulse and everything." She offers her hand, "Care to check?" She blinks and tilts her head before looking again at the house and back to Alice, "Your house...usually talk to you?" She asks and tilts her head, "Cause, houses don't usually talk to people."

Black Alice has posed:
"This one does..." she looks at the offered hand and then lifts her free hand and twists it around in the air fingers moving. Golden light starts to form a glyph in the air covered in runes and spinning slowly around her fingertips and then she holds it in front of one of her eyes. Still staring at your hand..

"Let's see .... well you are definitely sucking in necromantic energy and and .. a beacon."

"Well I suppose none of my business really, unless you fucked with my package."

Omnis has posed:
A blink as she looks at the light show and then she stares at Alice, "That...was new." She states softly and then looks behind herself at all the people pointedly ignoring all this and then looks back to Alice and gasps, "Ok, whatever that was with your hand withstanding, I take offense at that second part." She points at the package, "That box is fully intact. I offer not only the fastest AND safest package delivery but accurate and untouched package delivery." SHe nods her head, "I did not suspect any illegal activity and accepted the order." She nods her head, "I am the best in the city." She nods her head.

Black Alice has posed:
"Ah well okay then I suppose. It's just an old sumarian knife that will be useful in a spell I want to try from a marginally off limits book. This is fine." another grin, half crooked.

"As for the beacon.. I mean you are basically beacon of death .. it probably helps suck in the death energies."

Omnis has posed:
A blink at that and then she looks back again, "I notice people are sorta avoiding all this talk and this area but can...we not talk about this on the street? I'd super appreciate not talking about this on the street." SHe looks back to Black Alice, "I mean, not super comfortable talking about it at all but on the streets less so."

Black Alice has posed:
"I am pretty sure the current owner of the house may kick me out if I let someone inside while he is fucking around with leyline magic and all under my room. I like the room, it is pretty much a holodeck." there is a vague gesture.

"As for them, you are on the first ward, they can't see or hear us."

Omnis has posed:
"Well, that's just comforting." Kally states and clears her throat as she looks back to the street a moment and then to Alice, "Well, not sure about all this other stuff you said but yes. Ok, I am a beacon for the undead because like a plant absorbing ambient energy from the sun, I take in the ambient energy that the undead naturally give off." She nods her head, "Mystery solved." She shrugs, "Not a choice in the matter. Not comfortable with it. Lots of terrible things come from it."

Black Alice has posed:
"Huh, see something new every day... such a truism...." she looks thoughtful. "Man do you store all that energy or use it somehow?" pause "Because if you are storing it .. I am surprised no asshole hasn't tried to just hook you up like a battery."

Omnis has posed:
A look over at the street again and then she looks back to Alice, "Umm, I really didn't expect this delivery to come with a talk about all of what I am or what I can do but yeah. I use it." She nods her head, "And...rather not tlak about who tried to use me or why. Just...was kinda hoping to deliver this to..." She hmms, "Black Alice..." SHe looks up at the girl and then back at the tablet, "Really? I mean, there's more questions there than about my abilities."

Black Alice has posed:
A laugh and a nod "Fair I suppose... Practitioners of the arts tend to not use their birthname but rather go with a pseudonym or nickname. " a direct look now. "So I picked that name. They won't question it in the system though so don't worry."

Another vague gesture. "Well I'm glad they aren't now." and seems that is all she says about that. "You strong enough with all that juice to hurt a god?" mmm "Asking for a friend."

Omnis has posed:
A blink at that question and she stares for a moment, "Umm...maybe?" She asks and tilts her head before looking to the side, "I really...haven't fought any?" She shrugs before considering, "I mean, I can throw a sedan pretty far." She nods her head and looks inside the place again before shifting on her feet a little and sliding her tablet into the satchel, "I am, well, really fast, too." She nods her head, "Kinda part of the whole delivery thing."

Black Alice has posed:
"Well definitely work to your strengths I always say like I am some sort of wise sage or some bullshit...." she snrks "Sedan throwing isn't quite the level of god punching that may need to be done." she glances around then to Kally. "Got digits?" she fishes out her phone.

Omnis has posed:
A shrug, "I really haven't...tested my strength?" She shrugs, "I am just, well, very fast and a good fighter. I think. Anyway." She looks to the side, "Look, that part is complicated given I was taught by a man who is quite dead but still teaching." She shrugs and then offers her number over to Alice cause, frankly, at this point, she already knows too much anyway. She then adds, "I really don't know how strong gods are or why that's important." She shrugs, "Either way, if you need help and seeing as we are going by made up names, I'm Omnis."

Black Alice has posed:
"You never know when you need some sort of magical battery undead punching girl...." she mmms "Omnis." and then tucks her phone back in her pocket.

"I sent ou a text nack, easiest way. Anyhow I need to get going on this ridiculously bad idea ritual.. it was nice to chat about wierdness."

With that she shuts the door stepping back a step.

If the house is looked away from it is just gone.
