LUCIFER toys Dawn Horn Clarion Call At Dawn

 

MAN! I need more information on this one. I love it! It would go really well as the forth in my little Elf group, but seeing as some of their other offerings are well over $400 for a more "simple" figure, this may be something I have to craft and kitbash up....which will most likely end up having me spend well over $400 anyway! hehehehehe

Super cool idea. And it looks like the back section can be removed as well. Makes me think just taking the legs and torso from another Phicen figure and strapping it together with some sort of costume would do the trick. 


Hmmmmmm....and I have a broken necked male Phicen right here..... 😃





















HEH! Who was THIS shot for?! hehehehe

Weekly Recap - January 29th 2023 Week

 Weekly Recap - January 29th 2023 Week

WHEW! A big week this week as I fight the birthday blues I usually get this time of year! heheheh



French witch Wren Sarratt arrives at the Moore Estate. She was sent by Martine Cousineau, but people still are not sure about Wren's intentions. 




Kim seems to be going through something at CUPPA. She's emotional and moping around and Dennis and Jinny wonder why.  




Wren visits Cindy. Poe watches the two of them, but disappears before Cindy sees her. Wren tells Cindy about the exotic potion additions she's sent and the strange, magic gauntlets.Wren manages to insult Cindy by talking badly about Olivia, mentioning negative rumors and the Coven fire. Cindy defends Olivia and takes a few steps back from Wren wondering what she's really up to. 




Mark sees Darcy at CUPPA and is still attracted to her. A bit of a spark flares for them both as Kim watches from the counter. Claire grills Darcy about the interaction while Kim grills Mark about it. 




Lindsay and Sophie talk about Aly and the Tate Group not caring about her risqué photo shoot. 



Kim and Jinny hang some new signs at CUPPA. 



While Wren visits with Cindy upstairs, Angel hangs out with Darcy, Krista, and Claire downstairs. The girls end up liking Angel and Angel likes the girls, but Angel really freaks the pets out. Angels says that she thinks the girls of The House are badasses. 



Danuta and Elke regroup after Aline's attack. While they are alive, their base of operations is destroyed. 




Micha uses the power surging behind the sitting room door to find out who is sneaking looks into the Moore Estate. The power is overwhelming, but Micha manages to stop the watcher. She passes out and Olivia watches on with Tanner as Micha struggles against a killing spell Olivia had placed on the room. After a few moments, Olivia removes the spell and tells Tanner to get her to her room.



It turns out that Kriemhild Gilbert (leader of the German Coven) is in contact with Grazia and Micha, working together to watch Olivia Moore and Wren Sarratt. 



Micha tells Grazia that she'll be able to wriggle out of whatever trouble she might be in with Olivia after telling her about the Watcher and she's correct. 



The Watcher was made to spy on the Moore Estate by members of Fantômes de Sang - the vampire witches. They fear further developments that may lead to their involvement in a witch war. 





Kriemhild Gilbert's right hand Lotte Schulze informs her that the vampire witches are standing down and waiting for them to sort out the Moore situation and that Wren Sarratt is working with Martine - a long standing friend of theirs. Kriemhild wants to shift Cindy into the leader role, keeping Olivia as a right hand for her. 



Taner and Angel get into a bit of a dust up when Angel speaks badly about Olivia. Angel apologizes, but Tanner is still ruffled. 



Wren meets Zampa, but Zampa refuses to speak to her or shake her hand. Zampa leaves to find Olivia at once making Wren angry and curious about Zampa's actions. 



Lizzie and Cindy chat about not fully trusting Wren. Lizzie says she'll ask Cor what he thinks. 



Olivia secures the machine and secret rooms below the Moore estate with Tanner, talking about additional security measures for the locations. 




Wren Sarratt secrets away in the sitting room when no one is around...and tries a powerful and mysterious magic spell to make sure it works inside the Estate.

Kim has a moment of sadness at CUPPA, but we don't know why.



Danuta SzymaÅ„ska and Elke Giacomina plot their takeover of the Moore Estate using toxic potions created by Aline Carvalo, but Aline turns on them sending her zombie hoard after them and dumping the toxic spell barrels into the space after her.

History of the MOORE ESTATE Part Four: Youth


Grazia gasps. She wants to say something about the fire in Italy, but remains silent about it. 



"A powerful caster named Gillian Holroyd helped me find the right spell. A neutral, strange spell from long ago that would draw their power out and focus it outward, removing their ability to cast or draw dark power. I rooted myself firmly at the base of the estate...right by the machine...and sent the spell right up through the estate walls during one of their dark rituals. 




My anger....and the darkness of the estate itself...made the spell warp into something I could not control.
The dark spirits in the Estate lashed out and multiplied. Ran over the Coven like rabid animals and dragged them all down...down through the Estate's very foundation and deep into the earth. Buried alive." Olivia draws in a breath. 









"The machine burst to life at the surge of power and I could not shut it down. When I tried to flee, I was caught in the machine's power and felt like I was being ripped apart. Darkness wrapped around me and I thought I was dead. The machine overloaded and failed, shutting down finally. 





When I woke up a day later, I was...." She waves a hand over herself. "I went from almost 60 years old to roughly 35. Kado seemed to think it was the way the machine interacted with my particular power of healing, but we're still not sure. The trick doesn't last, however. I have to use the machine on myself from time to time to keep up my appearance. A powerful glamour I paid dearly for prevents people outside of my circle from thinking about my being this age for a prolonged period of time."




"Fascinating." Grazia shakes her head. "Truly amazing." She does the math. "So...you are...98 years old?" 


Olivia nods. "Yes, and now firmly on the Path of Light if you are wondering. And whatever is left of the Coven below has been sealed after Mother tried to return a year or so ago. And the poisoning of the Italy Coven you warned me about." 


Her words hold so much weight Grazia turns away. 


"And here we are. Fighting more darkness surrounding this Estate and its power. I should just burn the whole of it down." She looks around. "But there are too many forces at play that want it to remain standing."


Grazia nods. "So...we make sure that it does." She and Olivia stand and approach each other. Grazia takes Olivia's hands in hers and nods, the first time in a long while she's felt like she's picked the right person to trust.
