confronting Evandau

Characters: Evandau, Anton, Hawke, Septimus, whole bunch of others
Date: August 28th, 2014
Location: The Midnight Hotel, may move to outside one of its entrances in one of the five sectors
Situation: It’s time to confront Evandau.
Warnings/Rating: Probable violence, will update accordingly.

By the time Hawke calls Evandau out, the Hotel is as prepared as it’s possible to be. The radio set has been brought in so they can communicate with the teams outside using the portable WWII handset Akito jerry-rigged. Anton has warned the gang-kedan, particularly the Dust-user and distributers, most of whom are hiding upstairs. The commons aside from the lobby have their doors closed; judging by the rowdiness in the living-room still filtering through the door, ‘noise pollution’ is the going excuse. Anton wants his current patrons as protected as they can be, which is why he encouraged a couple of those present to guard the stairs up.

There are a fair few people in the lobby, which isn’t unexpected, but Anton has warned each and every one of them about the Hotel rules and the fact that, if any of them jumps the gun, he will be forced to defend Evandau. Nothing would ruin the plan more than Anton being obliged to stand up against those with whom he would rather be allies. He doesn’t know most of them, but it’s clear that they’re friends of others who are in on the plan; the only person who worries him is Wreath, sitting quietly in a corner behind the entrance.

Anton himself is behind the reception desk, going through his ledgers and waiting quietly for Evandau to arrive, and keeping Daisy the shotgun close at hand under the counter. Just in case.

Wan started to shake his head, but stopped. Now that the important stuff was done with, he could ask about that stick.

"Hawke said I should ask you myself," he started, voice going lower and with obviously genuine and earnest concern. "But he said you put a stick up your ass about this place. Why did you do that? Are you okay? Do you need any help?"
raavashing: (Upset: We are dead to rights)

"I-" Wan straightened, blinking fast for a moment as he looked around to see if Hawke was watching. The way the man had laughed at him suddenly made a lot more sense. "That is probably what he meant, but that is not what he said. He just said you had a stick up your ass about this place. When I asked why, he laughed and told me I should ask you. I thought it must have been this accident that was funny to watch-"

Wan put a hand to his head and looked back at Anton, "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, I really didn't know."
raavashing: (huh: Til I see you again)

Wan raised an eyebrow, "I don't know what a demon is. But, it sounds bad. I'm sorry you have to deal with that."

He paused and lifted a hand to his chest, lightly fingering the cloth at his collar, "Is there any way for someone to help you with it? Maybe pull it out of you or contain it better?"
raavashing: (neutral: It's a harder way)

Wan's shoulders straighten and his entire countenance shifted. He was serious, direct, solemn. That sort of creature was what Raava was meant to balance, to hold in check.

"Darkness cannot exist without Light. Light cannot exist with Darkness," he said firmly. "You maintain a strict balance within yourself. I hold the Spirit of Light and Peace within me. If ever you find yourself slipping, I will be here to help you. I cannot make the darkness disappear, but I can make it yield to my light."
raavashing: (action: But all the choirs in my head)

Wan bowed his head, accepting that. He could do nothing more without Anton's request. To try would be wrong when he knew so little about it. The creature - demon - was not one he was familiar with. It was only the balance he could truly identify with.

Wan stepped back and then offered a proper bow, "Thank you for your aid with the elements."
