Idi watches as the man�s soul is stolen and sealed in the jar.
She resolves to keep an eye on this man�s progress, to witness
his degeneration and prove to herself that he gets what�s coming
to him.
She notices that he�s Shaken, capital S, and places a hand on
his shoulder.
What was next? How does the soul reach What Sleeps? Does he need
a snack? She could go get him one if he needs it. Maybe they
should grab dinner and a nap.

A few moments after receiving that telepathic input, Gavin's
eyes go black; mundanely, they're fine, but someone who can
perceive Twilight in any form notices it.
"It's watching. It wants it now," Gavin quietly explains to her.
"Let's go down to the Morgue. You know why, the gateway there,"
he adds on. "Dinner and a nap can wait until afterward," though
he certainly isn't against the idea. All of this will be
educational for the shapeshifter, though.
The trip down there is uneventful, thankfully enough; the few
people around who can perceive what's going on with him already
know not to worry about it.
Nobody's working the area past someone on-call in another room,
this late, so nobody's likely to interrupt them this time. The
doctor, apparently, knows where the key for the morgue bed can
be found, hidden in a compartment in a desk with a combination.
He lets her watch so she can get it in the future if she needs
to and doesn't want to bypass it as an octopus.
Once it's open, he places the jar on the bed, then closes the
drawer, and waits. She can hear something like a rumbling as the
gateway opens up somehow, and after a minute or so, he opens it
up again.

His eyes return to normal at that point, and he reaches for it.
But then gets startled as it literally leaps up and onto his
arm, crawling over it and towards his chest. Gavin stumbles back
in sheer surprise, but manages to calm down once it moves
beneath his shirt and clutches onto his chest. Not that he
doesn't look unnerved at least.
"An amulet, indeed..." he mumbles.

His eyes going black gives her a tiny pause, but he seems fine
so she rolls with it and just goes along with him.
She follows him to the Morgue, paying attention to the
combination lock the key hides behind.
When the amulet leaps up and crawls along the doctor, her
instinct isn�t to jump away but to swat at it -- protectively
and predatorially. She manages to keep it together, though, and
when it settles under his shirt she shudders through him.
Creepy.

As it settles, the pair of them hear a cacophony of sounds, a
mixture of liquids dripping, sliding, flesh slicing, and sand
falling over itself; they all line up to form something akin to
words, but it's like trying to focus on a stage whisper across a
busy room to really interpret it.
"Weight Upon the Soul is your reward, Doctor," it says first,
before then aiming its attention to Idi. She'd suddenly get a
taste of her own medicine, a flash in her mind as the 'gemstone'
in the creature's center shines a deep red for a moment in her
direction.
Out in the water, deep in the ocean beyond the harbor, there's
an Avernian gateway, covered in sand, embedded in a circular
cropping of rock. Some creature is roosting there, and its
presence seems to be creating strange side effects in the River
that the gateway leads into. She's to investigate it.
Gavin gives her a curious, concerned look, but doesn't
interrupt.

Receiving her own telepathic awareness comes more naturally to
her than it should. Information is exchanged, she gains the
memories and the feelings and the experiences -- and nods to
herself. And/or What Sleeps. It�s difficult to tell when there�s
so much one-ness.
The patron that is making this justice possible has a task for
her. She sees no course of action other than to go and
investigate. She�s already proven she can handle the predators
that are emerging from the deep, so venturing there shouldn�t be
a problem.
She relays to the Doctor that she has been given an undersea
investigation quest by What Sleeps. That, however, will have to
wait until she�s taken care of the Doctor.

"It's comparatively patient, I doubt it wants you to jump out
there right this evening," he assures Idi with a slow nod.
He glances down towards the chthonian now clinging to him like
an amulet. He's going to need to do a little work to be sure
it's not TOO obviously otherworldly if someone accidentally gets
a look under his coat and scrubs some day. But tonight it should
be fine.
"I think we'd best head out for now either way, though," he
agrees with that much, taking a few deep breaths as he tries to
recompose from all of this.

Idirbheart nods as he explains it�s patient. She insists on
taking him out to dinner and then tucking him into bed. ((Which
will be another scene for another time.))
It would seem she�s feeling protective.
