The Silver Queen [AU]

[Carver Amell]

"What about just Vigilant? Or, Vig?"

[Tethras Clan]

"Vigilant Prowler... Vigilant... how about Vigile?" he asks, pronouncing it with a strong elven accent. 

[Carver Amell]

"Vigil?"

[GamesMaster]

"Either are acceptable. The collar, if you would?"

[Tethras Clan]

"Can you move to the bars? And do you know if the collar is trapped or the like?" Zevran asks, moving to the jail.

[GamesMaster]

"It is magical, a form of Dimensional Anchor. I do not know if it can do else. That is trap enough."

Tail tip twitching nervously, he paces closer to the bars, ears flat back against his head as he does.

[Tethras Clan]

"Hmmm. A padlock but not magical, as far as I can tell," Zevran says absently, squinting a bit. "Silence, watch the door? Carver, you might as well check the rest of the cells and such, this might take me a few minutes."

[GamesMaster]

As Carver walks the length of the room, Zevran gets to work on the collar. It shocks him a little when he gets it loose, but it comes off without serious harm.

As soon as it's off, an odd thing happens: the cat turns into mist, leaping right at Zevran's face, phasing through the bars, through him, to land softly on the other side, on the floor. He turns solid again, shaking his fur violently, then looking back to Zevran. "You have my thanks, Child of Ciren."

[Tethras Clan]

Zevran had started to wince at the shock, then jumps as the damn thing leaps through him. "Buggering dragons, cat, don't do that!"

[GamesMaster]

"Forgive me. I have been imprisoned by that collar for... what year is it?"

[Tethras Clan]

"Ah, eleven ninety-eight?" Zevran offers, rubbing at his face.

[GamesMaster]

"Only forty years, then." He nods. "It felt like longer."

[Tethras Clan]

"Of course," Zevran says blandly, stowing the collar in his bag. Never know when the ability to de-ghost the untouchable will be needed. "Do you know if anyone else is down here? Captive or captor?"

[GamesMaster]

"No. I have not seen any since I was placed down here. Are we leaving?"

[Carver Amell]

"It's clear," says Carver, returning. "Not much to it. Can't have been a large operation, not out of this house. I found the office, though, if you want to take a look still."
