Haunted House patrol was never quite predictable. The path migh be the same as last time with only minor alterations, or the House might have shifted into a completely different configuration, or something might be lying in wait, or you might have nothing happen at all. This time, the House had presented Jordan with a new but very definite path, all doors locked but one in each corridor or room, and he'd gotten the definite sense that the House was gently urging him onward, watching, interested quite personally in what he was doing. So it came as no particular surprise when a door opened onto the outer grounds, where a figure lingered, apparently waiting.
He circled around through the lingering wisps of fog, relaxing only slightly when he realized who the other person was. Last time they'd spoken, they'd been in relative agreement, and the conversation had been interrupted by an Insanity creature, pushing them to work together. "Good to see you survived the gardening incident," he said as he approached, his hands empty at his sides.

The ghoul didn't move at first, she simply sat where she was focusing on nothing, and yet everything? Well trying to focus on everything which in turn was distracting, so she didn't notice anything so she stopped trying and that's when she started to notice, and so on and so on. Meditation was hard okay?
It was at this point she finally did notice something, something that cut through the insanity and the ambient fear, it was a whiff, something of smoke? She wasn't sure but her eyes flickered to life as Jodan spoke.
"Don't worry, you of all people should know I'm rather tough to kill. By the way teach me how to do that get out of jail free thing you hunters do. It'd be nice to have when one of you less friendly ones decides I smell bad or something," this was said with a smirk, like he would offer that up to her.
"Been looking for you actually." She finally added as she got up stretching in the process, "Something I wanted to show you actually."

"Hm." Jordan didn't venture any guesses, but frowned thoughtfully. "I suppose Fear creatures wouldn't need to use runes. You can use the energies much more directly than humans can. You might be able to find an artifact that did something similar. Or craft one." He hesitated a moment, then said, "Runic items require recharging after use."
The blue flash made him jump back, and as a blade summoned from the pendant, he reflexively fell into a fighting stance, feet planted and right hand reaching out and back, a stance that Sammy would recognize easily from the times they'd faced off or stood together in battle. Ferros's ring flashed brightly. Then, abruptly and without actually summoning, he shook his head and made himself relax, standing up straight again. "s**t," he said, "warn a guy."
"Excalibur? Directly?" His eyebrows jumped, and the look in his eyes went briefly intense.

"If I can do so safely." Jordan watched Sammy draw the sword from the ground, and his hand flexed unconsciously, his posture tense. It hadn't been that long since they'd been at odds, and while he didn't think she was about to get aggressive, his reflexive reactions remained wary.
He blinked, clarified, "I mean we as in myself and Ferros, but yeah, that works too."
He watched the blue gem glowing. "Be careful," he said soberly. "Power has its price."
