At the corner of Oblivion
The Oblivion Bar was a place where mystical types from all corners of time and space could gather freely, without the need to antagonize each other and compete in their usual frays of Order vs. Chaos, or good vs. evil.

Even Victoria Craft herself was known to occasionally go there and enjoy a small, fruity drink with an umbrella in it. Especially on the days immediately following the children's return from a vacation.

But angels rubbed shoulders with demons who rubbed shoulders with cowboy ghosts who rubbed shoulders with talking chimps who rubbed shoulders with Fifth Dimensional Imps.

But what Victoria Craft noticed tonight, as she led Salome and Mina to a back table, was the notable absence of anyone whose powers specifically derived from either Order or Chaos.

She sat herself down and spread a map of the United States on the table.

"There has to be some root cause of all this..."

	"Do we know anyone else who was affected," Mina suddenly asked looking pretty curious and thoughtful all at once. (Reply to this)

"I'm telling you, twenty bucks says she's already here. It's just her way." Zach addresses someone over his shoulder as he enters the bar, before turning and scanning the occupants. "Knew it." He swings by the bar to grab a martini, then joins the ladies.

"I don't think the end of the world is afoot, but definitely something big enough to merit attention. Cheers." He raises his glass slightly before drinking, then sits down.

	Mike was sitting at the bar doing shots of jager. Chaos and Order stuff was annoying. It was so much easier to deal with demon. Just kill them or scare them to make to problem go away. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I take it you've had some kind of encounter with what's been going on, Zachary?" Victoria asked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Certain patterns are emerging." Zach responds, nodding to Victoria. "Forces are out of alignment." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Shortly After just_a_stranger 2013-02-14 12:02 am UTC (link)
	Victoria nodded. "Perhaps if you and I were to combine our talents, we might locate the source. I would, however, prefer three individuals. It is more mystically potent." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Zach surveys those in attendance, then nods to himself and points to Salome. "Miss Roth, if you please? Your... particular constitution I think will complement Vicky's, so far as the spell goes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Are you gals looking for something to do with this whole order and chaos got wild thing," Mike calls out from the bar. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We are indeed," Victoria said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Then you should probably know that Doctor Fate is out of commision right now. Something big has to have upset the balance to do that." Even he knew that. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Shortly After sparkofmagic 2013-02-17 10:40 pm UTC (link)
	"The Doctor Fate?" Mina's eyes go a little wide. "That takes some big waves to hit him." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Just try to relax." Zach offers her and Victoria a hand each. "Fate is a big deal, but he's also pretty much at the mercy of forces bigger than him to begin with. Don't go assuming all is lost just yet." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Shortly After just_a_stranger 2013-02-18 12:12 am UTC (link)
	"Then it is worse than we feared," Victoria said as she took Zach's hand. "We must solve this before the Lords of Chaos and Order decide to personally intervene." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Not sure what else helpful I can say other than it doesn't seem to be demonic influence." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Dnif eht ecnalabmi." Zach says slowly, letting out a slow breath. His astral form drifts into the aether, letting himself be drawn towards the source of the disruption. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	With the help of the others, Victoria is able to pierce the veil that has been causing her otherwise finely tuned mystic senses to be unable to locate the source of all this. When she was certain, she allowed the contact to break. "Rutland, Vermont. Of course. I should just head there any time something sinister like this occurs." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Shortly After sparkofmagic 2013-02-24 01:52 am UTC (link)
	"What's there that we should be looking into?" Mina looks very interested in this. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"So go there and blow up the problem into little bits?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Shortly After just_a_stranger 2013-02-24 02:27 am UTC (link)
	"Rutland is... a bit of a dimensional and magical nexus. It exists in several alternate universes and sometimes leads to a bit of bleed-through as well as several alternate dimensions. The House of Secrets even has an entrance there." Victoria frowned. "We should leave immediately." (Reply to this)(Parent)
