Summary; The White Witch is on the prowl again
Log;

It was almost sad, really, how easily Jadis continued to find subjects for her experiment, despite the continued news of citizens turning into statues that was all over the network. Almost sad, but not quite, because why be less than pleased when things went well and worked in your favor?

Today she was again prowling the streets, keeping her eyes and ears open for any potential candidates. With each spell lasting only a brief time, Jadis had to take care not to choose the same victim twice. But the city was a populous one, finding a suitable target shouldn't prove difficult.

"Baka, for goodness sake, don't wolf down your breakfast so quick, you'll get a stomachache!"

Why yes, it was another typical City morning for Ren. Getting his roommate out of bed, feeding him and making sure the Baka-Ainu was ready to go to work was the normal way to start the day. However, while he acted annoyed at the whole situation, he'd become used to, hell, even egun liking the routine. After all, Horo was an idiot, but he was Ren's idiot, and he wouldn't have it any other way.

Sighing to himself, he quietly slipped of the the apartment and into the hallway of Building eleven, strtching out a little. He couldn't concentrate inside with Horo wolfing down his breakfast, so he chose to do his morning warm up outside Room Twenty Seven. He had to prepare before his daily training, as well as making sure the blue haired moron on the other side of the door wasn't late for work.

Again, a day that wasn't out of the ordinary at all, at least the shaman thought so.

Mostly Jadis preferred to keep to the public portions of the city, places where it was easier to be lost in a crowd or to slip away down an alley. But when the morning was a quiet one, she sometimes made an exception, stepping inside buildings to see who might be caught unawares.

Luck, as of course she knew it would be, was with her. She smiled to herself and silently approached the stranger, wand outstretched.

Meanwhile, the teenage shaman was busy stretching his arms out, caught up in evening out his breathing to really notice anything, his back turned away from the woman, brows furrowed in concentration. Nothing would disturb him from this...

...Except for the sudeen, slight chill that ran up his spine, the sense of bitter cold from the darkest winter quickly falling upon him.

Was someone there?

So trusting, so unaware that danger was not always accompanied by advance warning.

Jadis took one more step, and touched the tip of her wand to the back of the young man's neck. He would know he wasn't alone, but there would be little time for him to react.

Ren didn't have a chance to turn, or really move at all. He barely had the time to feel the soft tap on the nape of neck, and attempt to look to see his attacker before...nothing.

The cold seized him, and spread through his body like icewater was running through his veins. His form went rigid, unable to move, not even shake or quiver in reaction to the icy touch. He didn't know what was happening, but felt like the end. All he could see was flashes in front of him, memories speeding by. His spirit partner, his friends, his family...

And the love of his life, who would right now be wondering what was taking him so long to get back inside the apartment they shared.

As these thoughts swept into his mind, Ren took a last shuddering breath, before all he knew went black.

With a satisfied nod, Jadis turned away from the statue and walked back out into the street. Someone would be along eventually, although what happened to her victims after the spell was cast really meant nothing to her at all.
