You know tales of witchcraft and sorcery. Do they say anything of how to defeat spirits or ghosts?
Ms. Wardwell. I hope you've been well since last we spoke?
[After asking those who would likely know where Thor was, Skye finally goes to the only other person she knows has seen him recently. Thankfully Skye has been to Mary’s house before, so finding it wasn’t difficult. Although this time she was seeing it in daylight. Knocking on the door, Skye takes a step back and hopes that Mary is actually home at the moment.
It’s very clear Skye hasn’t gotten much sleep, partially because Thor was missing, but also because as a result of her worrying, she’s at a bigger risk of losing control of her powers.]

( it's a surprise to find the woman on her door, someone that she hasn't seen since they'd ran into each other when she was banishing her ghosts. though with that happening lilith had kept herself a little scarce, trying to keep the ghosts close to her and away from the view of anyone else. particularly with the strain on her magic.
she's still recovering now, strength mostly returned but not quite back at full power, enough to feel relatively secure even with the ghosts still around.
there's concern in her expression at the sight of the woman, the clear drain and weariness to how she looks )
Skye-- ( she pulls her shrug around her shoulders, perhaps a little more casual in her appearance than skye would have yet seen her ) What is it?

( she gives this some thought. lilith honestly doesn't care what the people in this place believe of her, though there were some people that had managed to get to her in a positive way -- wanda, even fern. denial could pacify them but at the same time she's acted alone for so long. her plan is to get herself out not to help others )
Yes, I did.
Yes, I did.
[Last month had been terrible in a lot of ways, and ended in a way that sent Skye over the edge. Thor was gone, again, and it was impossible for Skye to think that anything or anyone else was behind this other than Mary. The only reason Skye hadn’t gone after her once Thor came back and told her the truth was because, well, he was here. It was up to him to deal with her. Now that he was gone? The gloves are off.
Skye finds her house easily, and without having to worry about keeping her powers in check, the front door, whether locked or not, flies open.]
What the hell did you to do him?
[There’s no doubt in her mind that Mary is behind all of this, which is why she doesn’t say who ‘he’ is.]

( there are things that lilith expects, powers or even at some point assaults. after thor's return she'd had people coming to her door and asking after hi, even being attacked for (assumedly) unknown reasons in the dream state.
what lilith does not expect is skye blasting her door off the frame as she charges into her house, particularly given that the woman had professed at having no power. not that lying was unexpected in relation to powers.
it has her standing from where she'd been at her table, at first the meeker, concerned expression of mary wardwell before at skye's angry question she drops it, looking a little unimpressed )
Since killing him? I haven't seen him.
( she'd had no reason to seek him out again and as yet he hadn't come for her either )

[There's a small basket set by her door, a little card with a very simple message of:
In the basket are a few French milled soaps. Lavender, lemon grass, something apple-y.]
Lilith,
Pour vous.
- Aziraphale

Hi Mary,
Wynonna and I are throwing a surprise birthday party for Waverly, and we’re hoping you're available. Attached is your official invite with all the details. Let me know if you have any questions.

Can we speak?
[He doesn't astral project often, but he does it today because it's a little bit less invasive than just showing up in person.]

( he's lucky that waverly's not home or this would give her a lot to explain, something that had been on her mind anyway but the girl had never found out. not yet.
but she nods, putting the book aside that she'd been studying )
I assume there's cause.
( to just show up as such )

Mary....or shall I call you Lilith now? We've much to discuss about a mutual aquatintance.
[He sets up the ward of candles and sets up his own circle before he goes, because Jon Simms contacted him in a panic. Finding Lilith isn't necessarily the easiest thing, but Nick is an excellent warlock, and she's been in his dreams before.
When he finds her, he doesn't look like himself. Instead he looks like Lucifer, which was, perhaps, an unconscious choice. Glamouring to look like the Dark Lord is probably blasphemy, but Nick...
...doesn't care.]
Lilith.
[He speaks in Lucifer's voice and hopes to Satan (ha!!!!) that if the Dark Lord is trapped in his body that he doesn't decide to break out for this.]

( they're in hell, flames licking around her, lilith on her knees in prayer. pleading. she's broken, bruised-- the young girl that nick had never known. but lucifer had. the girl he'd met wandering the wastelands, the girl he'd raised up, had gotten to love him--
the girl he'd broken. her soul is dark even now, corrupted through his ministrations, the acts he'd asked her to commit. but she isn't a demon, not yet. that's what lilith's pleading for -- an end. what lucifer's asking of her, what he's already started by corrupting her is painful, more than lilith can handle. it feels like she's dying. or maybe she already has.
so when she hears him it startles her, making her scramble and curl in on herself, head dipped in fear. she's his most faithful servant, the one he trusts most but she's terrified of him, of who he's become since she'd first met him-- )
Dark Lord.
( her voice is quiet, effort in place to keep it level and to not let him know how she feels )

[ Harry has been trying to go it alone, and he's done a fair job of it so far. With the aid of his magic, he's been able to ferret out supplies -- and get his hands on them -- easier than most people would. Traveling from Up to Down and vice versa is easier, too. But as the days pass and the fighting reaches a fever pitch, the end is nowhere in sight. It gets more difficult to find food, medical supplies and the like. It gets more difficult to find hope.
So finally he breaks down and goes to visit his contract holder in the Gray Room. He has no idea why she's been holed up here of all places. It appears safe enough though, and whoever is working the door doesn't even require a mask of him. How kind. ]
Miss Wardwell?

( she's not in the room when he arrives but a quick word around the club gets lilith's attention, sending her down to him, ushering away those that had stopped him getting too far to lead him through the room a little )

Please tell Nick that Alessandro is your bloody contract partner and not a Hunter I sent after you.
He told me the deal he made with you.
I'm working to break your curse.
I expect you to release him from whatever 'favor' you want if I do that.
[It's easier to be forceful over text.]

[ He doesn't bother texting or calling, just performs a tiny bit of magic to confirm that there's a body, some kind of power, within the space he's identified as Wardwell Lilith's abode. It could very well end up being one of her contracted partners, but he's willing to take that chance.
Magnus is desperate now, needy but hopeful. He knows after their last conversation that some groveling is in order before he can ask the Queen of Hell a favor. Best to do it in person than start out with a pitiful text.
He wishes Lucy weren't here to see this, but at the same time, he thinks she'll appreciate it. All this time she's been wanting him to show some love, some passion, and he's about to show it, as best he can.
He pauses to take a deep breath at the door, then knocks. ]

[She looks solemn; a quiet little thing as she stays close to Magnus. There is hope in her, it’s true, and it feels like it should be something more than it is.
She wants him to love her again. She wants to be sure of it, this time. It’s felt so foreign for too long.
She looks at him, and reaches for his hand, to squeeze it.]
Not to worry.
[She has to be stronger, here, today.]

[ Her tone is rather neutral when she speaks up. ]
I had something I wanted to ask you.

[Lyall has a strong desire not to actually show his face for this communication, but he has found that it makes him even more anxious not being able to see the people he's talking to over these devices, not to be able to gauge their expressions (or their voices even, when it comes to text.
So. He chooses to use the video function to contact Lilith a few days after their...encounter. He's sitting in the shop, she'll be able to tell that by the background.]
Ms Lilith. [His expression is very serious, his eyes slightly downturned although not completely unfocused on the screen. He's clearly not the beast who backed her into an alley. For one, his eyes are back to being their normal hazel.] Good evening. I....I regret not contacting you sooner. I believe I owe you an apology.

( there's a slightly curious expression that she gives to him when she answers, a smile that forms as he states his intention, curious indeed.
there are many ways that lilith could answer this but after what they'd done, at the entire change in him-- coy is how she plays it )
An apology? Whatever for Mr Lyall?

Say, Lilith, do you have Winterfest celebrations with the magic users in your world?
[ It's been a while, hasn't it? Possibly longer than truly necessary. And yet this isn't the easiest call for the Asgardian to make. Though Loki does make an effort to appear casual. ]
About a month ago, you were in my head.
[ Okay. Maybe not very tactful. The reminder is still irksome. ]
I was not terribly appreciative, I am aware. And though I doubt to be more welcoming to such an intrusion today...
[ A vague gesture as he lets his words trail off. ]
My reaction was uncalled for.
[ That's basically an apology. ]
Though I am left to wonder... How did you manage this?

( lilith had honestly never expected to hear from him again so when she does-- well, it's quite the unexpected call. and she has to wonder what it is that he wants because an apology wouldn't be all of it )
How did I manage to broadcast to your mind? Meditation, gin and clear intent.
( she'd given a similar answer to sabrina when the girl had asked how she'd gotten into her dream. there were some parts to her magic that she just didn't explain. or maybe she was being truthful )

I'm sorry to bother you. I was hoping I could ask for your opinion on something.
[ While she's researching, she looks up the only other person here who she's sure might have better understanding of this magic than most. A goddess-witch of 6000+ years would surely know something... ]
Lilith? I'm sorry to trouble you, but I could use some help with a problem. A magical problem.
