I13DT - Hallowed Be Thy Name

Previously the lodgings of the late Lady Braddock, grandmother to Brian and Elizabeth, the Dower House fell into disuse for a number of years, particularly after Braddock Manor passed to Brian himself. Since the arrival of the University, it has been renovated into housing for faculty, staff, and students with special lodging needs.

I13DT - Hallowed Be Thy Name

Nailah, having gone through her (and possibly Sam's) wardrobe to put together a fitting outfit in mostly green and black, places the action figure in front of the small shrine to the Morrigan.

"Last chance to change your mind." she smirks, looking at Sam.

"Sure as I'm likely to be," she says, her gaze straying back to the action figure and quirking a brow.

The action figure, to it's credit, didn't move, though Sam would get a hint of "Frere Jaques" from somewhere.

"Yeah. I figured he probably played around with it. I mean come on, it's an action figure, keeping it in it's packaging is just stupid."

The articulation was shit. They really should have gone to a better company to make the dang thing.

Otherwise, it seemed fine. In perfect condition, from a cursory examination, at least.

The 'sound' died out again, going to almost nothing.

The tiny sound increased slightly, switching to "Gonna Fly Now"

"I'm simply wondering..." she says, turning both her physical and mental attention to the action figure again.

Physically, there was absolutely nothing wrong with the action figure, at least as far as Sam could tell.

Mentally...it was the sensation of someone desperately not trying to think of pink elephants while their hands were caught in the cookie jar.

The figure didn't move. A non-telepath would assume they must be mistaken.
