because we can't have nice things ever
Who: Caesar and Garviel, then Caesar, Millie, Sealand, and so on.
What: ITP: Caesar can't resist getting in one last 'I told you so' before dying again, Garviel has to keep talking to people just before they get axed, and Mayfield traumatizes even more children; so same old, same old.
Where: 2237 Stevens garage and later outside the Goldberg St. house.
When: Sometime during the 25th, well after Virginia's injuries.
Warnings: Blood and death.
[Caesar would have been more than content to remain home much earlier today, to avoid the phones seething with either anger or repetitive calls for calm and whatever foolishness might come out of it all. At least, he'd been content, before some inexplicable force tore Virginia's arm off and threw her violently through a window. Whatever that had been, it had been enough to waken some cold anger in even someone as prone to being level-headed as he was. If there had ever been someone he could rely on to watch his back, who had been doing that since he got dumped in this little slice of hell, it had been her, and there wasn't any way he could get back at the real culprit of her suffering...
But he did happen to know someone else who could at least share in the blame, even if only a little, and that's what brings Caesar to stop at the driveway of 2237 Stevens Road. The slog through the snow and winter chill has, at least, calmed him down enough that he doesn't go storming up to the house like an idiot, but it's not like he'd thought of any other approach before actually getting here. Without that...
Huh. Now what?]

no subject
But, oh no, I'm sure you're already feeling the weight of everything else that's happened, so don't worry, I would never think to pile that onto you with the rest.
no subject
And it was -precisely- the same. The placement, the sensation of power. Oh, and before you think to ask it, it was blocking methods of examination both sorcerous AND technological. I have power output readings and a few things I'd require a techpriest to analyze but I am fairly sure they're all busy dying.
[ There is a momentary flash of pain when he mentions Virginia. They weren't close, but Garviel had always respected her abilities, and he tended to default to being fond of anyone he'd shared a battle with. ]
She understood why.
no subject
[It's with that little outburst that he walks straight up to Garviel, right up into his personal space, and points an accusing finger at him.]
You! You did this! You didn't do it for the town's sake at all! You-- [As if he's unaware what prompted a part of that charge into the dairy. The Mayor and Smith badmouthing the resistance, the loss of this man's... whatever he was. Big angel leader guy.
But now Caesar's making it personal, that thought alone making him withdraw from near Garviel immediately.] ...damn it... this isn't going to change anything. You really couldn't get any readings off of it?
no subject
As for the machine I had Arf examine it magically, and she could sense herself being damped. Having already suspected a more conventional type of trap, I used my helm, which has various sensors. I have a log of the undertaking, start to finish. We generally keep them for combat intel. But the data beyond rough interpretation will require the services of people who may already be dead.
no subject
[But they can't know if she's alive still, either. He sighs and finds something, anything, to sit down on, or maybe just slump against.]
What would your rough interpretation from them tell us?
no subject
High energy and thermal outputs, that much I could ascertain. Hot to the touch as well, even through my gauntlets. I don't quite know how even a functional machine could produce that much heat without a cooling system nearby.
no subject
[Caesar hasn't the faintest idea on how machines work, but if people are saying a heated machine needs a cooling system, he can connect the dots there at least.]
How did you get through the barrier to touch it at all?
I know Nina was able to shoot through it...
[And that's that. He'd come here to pick a fight, but that didn't even make it past the initial attempt!]
