Elders' Chambers

[Elder]

Welcome to the vast chambers of we, the Elders. If we have summoned you, or you wish to speak, this is where you will find someone to talk to. Generally, only Whitelighters are permitted up here.

[Leo]

::Leo orbs in and walks straight up to the other Elders::

"I need information, anything, on whats happening to Piper. Where is she? Who took her? Why can't I sense her?"

[Elder]

"You are needed elsewhere."

[Leo]

::Leo glares, his face trying to convey intense hatred and anger. Instead he looks conspitated. Without a word he orbs out to Paz's Apartment::

[Ghost]

"WEDGIE!"

[The Powers That Be]

[Lucas Morgenstern, at your service.]

[Luke]

(Oh, for fuck's sake! Another hit of Déjá Vu All Over Again...)

::He looks around the place, realizing that he wasn't in his penthouse.::

[Elder]

"Oh, you're kidding me. Luke?"

::The Elders confer for a while, throwing out various phrases such as "he's hardly the epitome of good" and "but we're desperate!" Eventually, the head elder turns around and addresses Luke.::

"Luke, I'm sorry to inform you that you have died on Earth."

[Luke]

::He looks at the group of Elders who had confirmed his death.::

"Yeah. I figured as much having died once before, though this place seems a little bit different from the other place. Is this heaven? I mean, I really doubt that this is. I figured that I'd be somewhere random and alone or burn for all eternity."

[Elder]

"Unfortunately not. We The Elders have come to a... *sighs*... decision. Being that we're desperate and all at the moment from a shortage of Whitelighters, we would like to ask you to become on. You do know what a Whitelighter is, don't you?"

::He adds disparagingly.::

[Luke]

::Luke looks to the Elders, slightly confused. No shock there.::

"Eh. Kind of. Leo's one of those things, I think, right? Just humor me and explain the whole thing to me."

[Elder]

"Alright. Ultimately, a Whitelighter is the guardian of witches. We assign you a few witches who become your 'charges'. They will be able to call you from any location, you will be able to hear them, and can use a transportation power called orbing and can help them out. It is your duty to teach and protect your charges and help them overcome challenges and ultimately become good witches. You have a couple of other powers too, the only one you can use right now is healing as well as orbing. You yourself are regenerative; you cannot die other than from the poison arrow of a Darklighter, which is like the demonic version of you. How does this sound?"

[Luke]

"I am obligated to help people?"

::He sighs defeatedly after thinking it over.::

"I suppose it could be worse with the fire and brimstone. I guess I can handle it. Who is my first 'charge'?"

[Elder]

"A novice called Shinji."

::The Elder clasps his hands together and smiles.::

"We'd tell you where he is, but it's more fun when the n00bs try to sense 'em and get totally lost. If you ever need help, you can come back here. Now push off."

[Luke]

"Oh...uh. All right, then."

(Here goes nothing. Shinji? Are you there, boy? Get serious, Luke.)

::Luke concentrates on sensing Shinji, eventually finding him at the door to Andrea's Apartment. Luke dissipates in an orb cloud, with the intent of transporting there. However, he fucks up (naturally) and ends up in Room Number 13.::

[Luke]

::Luke orbs into the Elders' Chambers, looking for an Elder (duh!) to speak with.::

"Hello?"

[Elder]

"What do you want?"

[Luke]

"The healing thing. Is it just restricted to healing Shinji?"

(Not that I was able to do it earlier, anyway.)

"I know. Stupid question but I wanted to clarify that."

[Elder]

"No, you can heal all good beings, and humans."

(Now bugger off, I have a game of Snakes 'n Ladders to get back to.)

[Luke]

::Luke orbs off near the outside of the Magic Shop.::
