2019-09-15 - About That Exorcism...

(TXT to Ruiz) Minerva : Captain? This is Minerva Kosimar. Alexander gave me your number.

(TXT to Minerva) Ruiz : This is de la Vega. How may I help you, Miss Kosimar?

(TXT to Ruiz) Minerva : I was going to see if you would mind me doing some things prior to the exorcism. I would need to set up the area. There's no blood or sacrifices involved.

(TXT to Minerva) Ruiz : I suppose I should ask you whether you require a specific room or building for the ritual?

(TXT to Ruiz) Minerva : I will work with anything really. I'd suggest something away from common areas. It might get loud and I don't want the uninitiated wandering in and we have to explain what the hell is going on. We'd lose ground.

(TXT to Minerva) Ruiz : understood. We'll secure a location ahead of time that meets your needs, then, and hopefully the Chief won't pry too much into where we're taking him. Any suggestions?

(TXT to Ruiz) Minerva : I'd suggest the Morgue, but that's too morbid even for me. Do you guys have a solitary cell or room for people who give you too many problems?

(TXT to Minerva) Ruiz : Yes. If you're all right with doing this at the precinct. I should be able to get everyone in, but I'd really like to limit it to as few people as possible.

(TXT to Ruiz) Minerva : I'm fine with the precinct as it's more secure. Unless we want to do it here at my place. If we get blood on the floor it's not like it's not already stained. I'm limiting it to the three that we need to assist me, you, and Thomas. We're supposed to have a medic on hand as well.

(TXT to Ruiz) Minerva : I'm not wanting to crowd in a bunch of people due to how quickly an exorcism can go south if it's not done right or if Thomas and Billy decide to try to murder all of us. 😕

(TXT to Minerva) Ruiz : So the less of us in the room while this is happening, the better, then?

(TXT to Ruiz) Minerva : I'm planning on having everyone behind me as it is. I'm not sure how many people need to be in the room proper, but the Exorcist said three people needed to be in the room. That's Hyacinth, Erin and Itzhak from what I've been told.

(TXT to Minerva) Ruiz : I would rather remain in the room as well.

(TXT to Ruiz) Minerva : I wasn't going to try to strong arm anyone out really. I think it makes sense for you to be there.

(TXT to Minerva) Ruiz : Thank you. I've promised Miss Addington I would protect her. In as much as I'm capable.

(TXT to Minerva) Ruiz : So I'll arrange for a room at the precinct, then. preferably sound proof. Anything else in the way of preparations?

(TXT to Ruiz) Minerva : We'll try to make sure no one is hurt. Billy will probably lash out at me, but I'm prepared for that. I would just need to come in prior to things and draw some sigils, sidewalk chalk is what I use, so it's easier to clean up. I can do that while you all are bringing Thomas in.

(TXT to Minerva) Ruiz : Understood. How long will it take you to set up?

(TXT to Ruiz) Minerva : It won't take me very long, I've done this before sadly. So probably 20 minutes to set up a perimeter and all that. Most of the work begins when Thomas gets there. And thank you for being accomodating in things.

(TXT to Minerva) Ruiz : Good. I'll need 24 hours to arrange the protective custody order, but other than that I think we're good to go. I'll wait for your word, Miss Kosimar.

(TXT to Ruiz) Minerva : That works well then and thank you again, Captain. If you have questions for me please feel free to text or call. Have a good night.

(TXT to Minerva) Ruiz : I will. Buenas noches.
