[To Lilith Sahl and Father Abel Nightroad/ Unfiltered]

Lilith and Father Abel, I would like to thank both of you for coming to me in my time of need. Your guidance helped me to find my way through the darkness and back to God's light. I've given this great consideration and if you'll have me, I would like to request to transfer to your church.

[Private to Saya]
I was hoping that I might be able to see you. So much has happened in the last 24 hours and I'd like to share what I've discovered with you if you have time.


[ooc: STILL cursed into believing he's a priest, Solomon has discovered another branch that would allow him more 'freedom' in his vices. >.> GRAB BAG Curse: 'I'm a Professional']

[Accidental Audio]
My God, what have I done?
………
Father in Heaven forgive me… ah…

[The Chevalier sighs in resignation before his footsteps approach the network device. Minutes pass before he speaks again, but when he does, his voice is the epitome of serenity.]

If anyone has seen a 'Father Abel Nightroad', can you please direct him to contact me immediately? I’ve just tried the Cathedral, but have had no answer as of yet.

This is rather urgent, so I would be grateful for any assistance. Thank you my children.



[ooc: Just call him 'Father Solomon' today~. Hit with the Grab Bag curse of ‘I’m a Professional’, the Chevalier is convinced that he entered into the Holy calling of the Priesthood instead of the medical, and business industries. (Which means he has a whole TON of sins to atone for! Confession as they say...)]

Now that things are back to normal, in more ways than one. I'll be taking the weekend off to spend time at home. I have a lot to make up for it seems. If anyone needs to reach me, you can find me there.

I am relieved that the fighting has stopped. It reminded me too much of when I first became a doctor and the beds were overrun with casualties... something I had hoped I'd never see again. I hope that no one else had too much of a problem concerning this latest curse?

[Private to Xemnas]
That was quite an experience, Mr. Xemnas, but once again only a temporary measure. This city seems to have something against the technology of your world it seems. Still, it was interesting. Thank you.

[Private]
Saya, please accept these flowers. What can I say but I'm sorry for any distress that my actions this week have caused you. It wasn't my intention.



[ooc: The war of the worlds curse ends, and Solomon's heart has been returned to him (thus reverting him back from being one of the Kingdom Hearts 'Nobodies'). Unfortunately for Solomon, Saya isn't as keen on interesting SCIENCE/experiments as he is...]

[Video]

[The video feed sparks to life, showing the neatly arranged interior of a doctor’s office. Solomon sits at his desk and gazes steadily into the network device, but something is very different about the normally pleasant doctor. His hair no longer falls in loose waves, but instead is combed back out of his face. And he now favors the simplicity of an all-black attire. The only color being that of a crimson colored tie, and the stark white of his doctor’s coat.]

I’d like to request for any patrols in the area to refrain from bringing any weapons into the Emergency Room again. If dropping off a comrade in arms, you may alert the staff that you’ll be bringing them in and we will meet you outside the doors.

[Filtered to Saya]
I won’t be home tonight, but if you have need to speak with me, I can be contacted through the network.


[ooc: Due to the 'War of the Worlds' curse, Kingdom Hearts 'Heartless' have been brought in to fight for Xemnas. To assuage himself of the heartache that Marishka’s loss has caused, Solomon decided to allow his second in command Xemnas to use him to create another ‘Nobody’ in the City. The result, is as you see before you, his personality focused intently on his work unhampered by attachments to any that meant anything to him. Nobody (as described by wikipedia) = As Nobodies, they lack emotion and morality, and are unable to feel guilt and remorse for their actions. Well, he got what he wanted. Or what he thought he did anyway~]

Mr. Xemnas. Assume control of the ARTEMIS Organization, if you will.

Likewise, I won't be coming in to work at the hospital. Could someone please cover my shifts? Or let someone in the administration know...

I see that the city has some guests once again. And if any are currently seeing this, I would like to ask that you kindly refrain from taking 'souvenir's' from the lab, or my office. I don't know how you managed to get past the security measures last time, but it does prove to be a hindrance to very important work.

Thank you.

[Message to Saya/ Unencrypted]
Saya, Marishka's daughter is in town so I offered to let the girl stay with us. I hope that's alright?

[ooc: 4th wall day, open for comments! Please Encrypt any comments that would expose him for what he is.]

This month has been quite interesting, to say the least. But I wanted to offer my thanks to the individuals who have assisted me during this time.

With this in mind, could anyone recommend someone that would be skilled in replacing the glass leading out to the terrace of my apartment? It was shattered last week during one of the curses.

Also, I wish to commission a dress to be made, if anyone is up for the task.

( [Private to Luke Valentine] )



[ooc: and Solomon thought he got off without another curse. Tch... Sexuality Reversal Day FTW!  ***REPLIES MIGHT BE SLOW (until I get home), just found out I have to work late and for some reason they frown on rping during work. Tch. Slavemasters... so harsh. Backtagging as always is welcome~***]

[Audio // Switching to video for those who wish to see the Issue...]
( Video Feed )[A decidedly surprised female voice comes across over Solomon’s network device.]

A-ah… oh my... This is a bit unexpected… I can’t go out like this… it would be indecent.

[She sighs, and a moment passes before she speaks again, her soft voice as pleasant as she can make it under the circumstances.]

I… don’t suppose anyone would be willing to give me a hand? I find that I’m in need of… something to wear. Could anyone loan me anything so that I can go out shopping when the stores open?

[Muttering quietly to herself, she pauses to consider another possibility.] Or, I suppose I could call in to work to explain why I can’t come in. Oh, how bothersome… and on a work day too…





[ooc: Yes, that’s right. Solomon gets to spend the day as a girl. Gender-switch cursed, and unable to shift into any other form as he would normally be able to do. CUT IMAGE NSFW, probably. Better safe than sorry.]

[The video clicks just as a loud explosion of sounds and splitting wood fills the air. Amidst the clamor, a clear, low, threatening growl permeates the room. Barely a moment passes before the monstrous form of large black furred creature stalks into view. It’s eyes glow blood red, it’s mouth pulled back in a fierce snarl displaying razor like teeth as it intently hunts something or someone off camera.]

[ooc: In his efforts to strengthen Saya for situations very much like what’s happening right this moment, the Chevalier cuts short a rather pleasurable moment donating his blood to the Queen. SOON, he will make his escape to find easier prey. Anyone is welcome to offer their assistance and go hunting for the elusive creature known as 'the dreaded Were-Solomon' before he kills. XD  Red Like Jungle Burning Bright Cursed.]

I'm alive back? Could anyone tell me how long I've been gone?

Saya, are you all right?


[ooc: Solomon experiences his first resurrection, being brought back to life after having died during the cannibal curse (Fava Beans and Chianti).]

As some of you may know, the ARTEMIS Organization has been working on reproducing a form of Blood Tablet that had been available in Mr. Kuran's world. After much work, I’ve developed what I believe to be an accurate duplicate of these tablets, but I would like to ask for any volunteers to give their opinion of the finished product. And of course, I will honor any requests for anonymity should you wish it. Would anyone be interested in joining this study?

I assure you, it has been thoroughly tested and is quite safe for consumption.
[Private voice to Marishka]
Marishka... I wish to see you are you available this evening?

I want ... please let me know.

[ARTEMIS FILTER]
To those of you that were working on that side project concerning the network... I've decided to suspend any more resources on this project. Of course, I'll pay for your time up to this point, and I'll consider you for any further project that might best utilize your skills... Thank you for your efforts~


[ooc: Blood tablet production mod ok'd.]

Sweetheart, I'm afraid I had to run to the office for a little while. An emergency... if any of the family needs me, they can do so via the network.

Luke... I hope you liked your gift* and cooperated...

[Private to Marishka]
Please keep an eye on the girls. I caught Penny with a laundry basket full of ducklings last night.. (I did speak with her about this, so there's no need to mention it again). And Sun-Sun seems to be feeling a bit out of sorts. Perhaps you should talk to her...

Also, don't let Stork sleep all day. He needs to get out to apply for some jobs... or at the very least make himself useful around the house.

[ARTEMIS FILTER]
Mr. Xemnas... I'm afraid death is no longer a viable excuse to not show up to work. And while I'm perfectly willing to give you an extension in order to acclimate yourself to your new situation, I do expect you to at least contact me so we can discuss it.

On the rare chance that my second in command will be out for awhile or will not be regenerating as 'City Dead'... is there anyone in the Organization that would like to submit yourself as a possible replacement?

And does anyone know what he meant by: "Trinity was the breaker you sought for."? Those were his last words before he vanished...




*[ooc: ( Luke's Gift ) Solomon is still firmly entrenched in the 'Family Day curse'.]

Luke, honestly… would it be so hard to come visit every now and then? It would mean so much to your mother… And besides, your Uncle Stork and your sister-in-law are currently both in town so it’s the perfect opportunity for the family to get together for dinner.

[Action for those in the apartment]
[Solomon paused to call out behind him.]
Dear… I’ve messaged Luke about coming over, but where are the girls? I want to make certain that they don’t run off again tonight…

[Private to the Hikaru and Kaoru]
I have a proposition for you both, if I might have a moment of your time…


[ooc: It’s Family Day at the Goldsmith’s (well, actually Family Grab Bag WEEKEND).
Here’s the low down:
Stork = half-brother (down on his luck)
Luke Valentine = son (lives away from home)
Penny = daughter
Saya = daughter-in-law, husband AWOL
Marishka = wife and mother to LukeX3= and Sun-Sun
Sun-Sun = daughter]

If anyone should need me, I'm going to be out of the office for a few days helping my beloved a... newly arrived friend settle in. I can still be contacted through the network, or if you wish to stop by the apartment...

Mr. Xemnas, you have the helm while I'm attending to this. Please notify me if you have any difficulties...

[Private to the Deities]
My deepest thanks for returning Saya to me... I'm grateful~.

I'd like to talk with others affected by the latest monstrous imprisonment, and mistreatment at the prison. Would anyone be willing to speak with me about what happened while you were in their hands? Mainly, I'm wanting to take an account of the misconduct of our captors during our stay... research that can hopefully aid in recovery. Any communication with me, will of course be confidential if you wish it.

[Private to Hospital Staff]
Who are the top chemical specialists in the City? I'm having difficulty in analyzing some blood-work that's been affected by chemical agents...

[Private to Xemnas]
I'm greatly in your debt for the part you played, Mr. Xemnas... I believe I owe you a debt. I can't help but wonder what it is that you'd ask for...

[Private to Yuujel]
Thank you for your assistance. I hope that you're recovering from the ordeal well enough? If not, please feel free to contact me...


[ooc: Long lasting side effects of chemical experimentation has prompted the Chevalier to seek a second opinion. Which includes asking others what was done to see if anyone else received such treatment, and if so, to incorporate that into any possible treatments for a cure.]

[The camera flickers on just as Solomon collapses on the ground, exhausted, battered, and bloody in the dim interior of his cell. On the ground around him, lay his captors, all laying lifeless, their bodies broken and ripped apart.

Struggling to get up, the Chevalier wearily pulls himself to a sitting position against the twisted remains of the jail cell’s door. His breathing is labored, the only other sounds coming from the swinging remnants of the chains that had bound both wrists to the ceiling.]

I… could use… some assistance.   Mr… Xemnas… Luke... Time... is of the essence....

I believe… a young lady has been… waiting for a rescue…

[The network device turns on to see the battered form of Solomon knelt down with arms restrained behind his back. Blood streams down his face, staining a patch of his blond hair red. His suit is disheveled, and the sleeve of his jacket shows evidence of having met something very sharp. Clearly the fight he was in didn’t go so well for him.

His captors stand around him, heavily armored and armed with an impressive array of weaponry.

The Chevalier’s voice is strained when he speaks.]

“… You… have… NO right! I will NOT be judged--”

[But his words are silenced by the downward blow from the end of one of the nastier looking weapons. As he falls, the screen fades to black, leaving his fate unknown.

At least for a few hours.

When it does finally flicker back to life… the ‘good’ doctor is suspended in the dim interior of some cell, his arms stretched out to his sides and manacled to the walls. His head is bowed, struggling to regain consciousness…]



[ooc: Solomon’s list of crimes: starting with murder, and being party to (or at least turning a blind eye to or condoning) kidnapping, human experimentation, and who knows what else.]

[Failed private to Aya: glitch in the hospital network(?)]

Aya, I just wanted you to know that everything is set up and Ken has been transferred successfully to your apartment. We need to speak about the conditions of his release into your care, and of course, I’ll be stopping by regularly to check on his progress and to administer any medications.

[Filtered Away from Ken Hidaka]

I’m afraid my patient has been a bit… difficult in his demands, so I’ve had to keep him heavily sedated. We should speak about what the next steps will be concerning this delicate matter before he realizes what's happened as soon as possible.

[Static filled video/Audio clear]

[The penthouse living area has lost it's usual neat and orderly appearance, instead replaced by a mixture of ornate Victorian furniture and polished brass and iron devices set up on a work table near the terrace doors. Gears turn, steam billowing into the air above the table full of assembled machinery and tools.

Seemingly quite distracted, the Chevalier searches around the room, peering intently under tables and behind floor length velvet curtains for something. Brow furrowing, he stands and brushes a gloved hand through his hair.

As for Solomon, he hasn't quite escaped the direct affects of the curse, himself. His usual business attire has been replaced, and pausing in his search, the camera is able to focus on the gentlemanly 19th Century suit complete with goggles and gloves that he now wears.]

Where did that infernal thing scurry off to this time?

[ooc: Cursed with the Gears and Gadgets Curse, Solomon's mind is a bit mixed up (finding his surroundings at times confusing and yet familiar = Chevalier fighting the curse and not quite winning.]
