Regrouping
Irina and Jenny returned to Nova Roma after checking out the shop in New Orleans and then in Chicago. Their trip had been unsuccessful in retrieving the knife, but they did learn a few things. Once they reappeared in Nova Roma they were escorted to Senator Aquilla's residence. There they were given a chance to bathe and given food to eat. After they were escorted to a room where Corey, Nick and Rose were waiting.

	"So the only option now is to sit and wait for something to happen?" Waiting was never Jenny's strong suit. She'd learned long ago to go through the motions so Older Brother Radar didn't come to life to monitor her /every/ move. "We can at least look into the business card left at the scenes."

"According to the lady at the shop in Chicago it's an ancient Persian sword encrusted with emeralds. Rumor has it that it's able to harm the otherwise invulnerable. Like silver to werewolves or able to hurt the invulnerable. She said the Keris Taming Sari is a Malaysian kukri that allows the wielder to match skill with someone else and not be overcome by superior skill."

Irina shrugged. "They're all weapons. That's another thing in common."

Its hard to tell how much Nick is listening to the others, continuing to pace throughout. The flames aren't worsening, but they don't die down either, the occasional spark or flicker emitting from his eyes or hands as he moves about. Conducting the ritual, and working to find these people has definitely had an effect - but for now, he's trusting the others to do their work.

Jenny wasn't all that anxious to go near the Shamshir-e Zomorrodnegar. Her involuntary resistance to weapons and attacks in general was the /only/ good thing about her condition.

"We're looking for weapons with dark histories. That actually does narrow the field considerably. Scholars are always writing about them or the legends they represent. Perhaps some of us should start checking with a different type of professional reference, like university scholars. Would Dr. McCoy or Professor Xavier be able to give us introductions?"

	"Personally I think the Professor may have a little more weight. He has held is position for longer than Doctor McCoy," Rose points out though it's obvious she recalls both of them with a level of fondness she normally doesn't display. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"In the circles you're looking for, Brother Voodoo would be a better choice." Nick rasps in almost-stereo. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Corey shrugs, still frowning at the piece of paper. "One way or another." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We should head home," Irina suggested. "We can send people to talk to others and maybe we should set up monitoring for anything else that gets stolen from museums." (Reply to this)(Parent)
