(Sorry for starting so many discussions so close together! >///< This one is just to conclude the unfinished stories from the first part. After this, I don't see me starting any new discussions until mid-August at the earliest. Keeping up has been a whole new level of taxing, but I hope everyone's been having fun!)
*It was nearing midnight and fortunately most of the creatures had been dealt with in some form or another.
Hyde without a Jekyll had made friends with the tall dragon, Dreamer helped the ghost lawyer cross over, Elaina had saved Catt from the glob monster and gotten the umbrella out of its head. (Catt had been too busy searching for a cloth to get the slime out of her shirt to notice Elaina breaking the fourth wall. :T ) 
Hen had succeeded in mostly placating the evil fire-spitting hound, and Rei was still interacting with the perennially melting chocolate rabbit. Astrid was trying to get his sock-covered hand out of the creature's mouth. Lucky for him, the creature didn't have any teeth and had no interest in harming him.
However, Hastie Lanyon was still fleeing for his life from the sugar-chrystal giant. He had managed to make it as far as the Library's second floor, but he was no athlete and couldn't run forever. 
The scrawny tengu had mentioned that he was hunting the crystal soldier to Mz. Hyde, and after some banter they set off to find it.*
(*clap-clap* Places everyone! The show is about to, er, end!)

Dreamer was in her room her door kind of broken now. She lay on her bed swirling her sword. She sighed finding what happened weird and wondering what caused it.

*The ghost, who was apparently named Charlotte, had left a business card and told Dreamer if she ever needed help to give her a call.
As it turned out, Charlotte had become a ghost because she was forced to become a lawyer instead of a singer. By destroying her lawyer's briefcase, Dreamer had destroyed the burden that was keeping Charlotte bound on this plane.*

*He had dragged the creature down to the laundry, where it finally let go of his hand in favor the Lodgers' wide variety of dirty socks. No teeth, so what else? He stuffed his own slimy sock in his inner pocket, where the alien bacteria quickly killed any other lifeform that lived down there. He pondered for a bit about how to get a proper organic sample. He needed either a chunk of flesh or a digit, but he didn't want to just chop it of the creature, in case it got angry or frightened. But maybe there was another option. He gathered all the socks he could find into a pile, then crushed a small lump of white powder in his hand and sprinkled it all over. Then he waited for the creature to notice the delicious pile of socks, just waiting to be tasted*

*At the sight of the clothing filled baskets, the alien had gone frolicking across the room. It upturned the baskets onto the floor and rummaged through the subsequent pile, gathering up the socks and discarding everything else. 
Upon noticing the pile Astrid had left, it carried its armload of socks over and dumped them on top. It then burrowed gleefully into the pile until it's head was poking out the far side. A powder covered sock in its mouth, the creature curled up in the sock pile like a dragon with its hoard, and suckled contentedly on its prize.*

*Astrid was beginning to find the creature weirdly adorable and was slightly disapointed that he didn't have enough room for it at home. He wasn't surprised it didn't immedially react to the powder. The sedative would usually begin to take effect after a few seconds to a full minute. He counted backwards in his head* 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1... (Of course, it being an undead alien from another dimension, the powder might not have any effect at all. Or a completely different one.)

*Tired from all the excitement of so many new socks, the creature eventually dozed off with the open side of its face coming to rest on more of the powder-covered stockings. It suckled unconsciously on its favoured foot-sheath, like an infant on a bottle.*

*The long fingers took a full minute to grow back, one after the other. Each oozing a dark purple liquid until the greyish skin had healed over. The narrator pouted slightly, thinking it was a rather reckless move to cut bits off of something just to see if they'd grow back. At least it was unconscious.*

*The head toppled off the sock pile and rolled behind one of the upset laundry baskets. The neck dripped more eggplant coloured blood onto the ruined footwear. Three, seven, ten minutes later the head had almost completely grown back. While the pocket that held the severed fingers and tail seemed slightly heavier than before.
The narrator's face split into a wide, devious grin. That was just the wrong move she'd been waiting for.*

Well shit *he said, just now realizing he really had no clue what to do about these weird, sock-loving zombies. And that he probably owed a lot of people new clothes. He began pacing up and down, trying to think of way to get rid of the creatures. He paused, looking at one of the big metal tubs. Well, it could regenerate parts of its body, but maybe there was a way to destroy the whole thing at once. He ran to one of the neo-alchemy labs and found a barrel of sulfuric acid. He poured the liquid into the tub, then picked up one of the near fully formed clones and dumped it into the tub with a splash.*

*The creature clone squealed as the acid splashed into its eyes and open wounds. It flailed blindly for the edge, pulling itself over and sloshing the caustic liquid out onto the floor. While it seemed to be in pain from its acid burned eyes, the skin appeared undamaged. (Though now it was a much darker grey than it was before.) Catching its breath it turned and shrieked deafeningly at Astrid, revealing three rows of thin, sharp fangs.*

*The dark alien shrieked again and started after him. With its limbs still not quite fully formed, it couldn't get up and sprint like its predecessor, giving Astrid a head start. 
He made it to the top of the stairs and turned to check if the creature was still in pursuit. He couldn't see it, but a moment's silence brought the sound of flesh and claws quickly clattering up the steps after him. Before he sprinted away again, he caught a glimpse of it. Now fully formed the creature had glistening transparent claws on all of its limbs except its left hand. It also had similarly transparent barbs protruding from a bulge at the end of its exceptionally long tail.*

*The narrator facepalmed as a new head began to grow from the lethargic body and body began to sprout out of the severed head. Both had dark grey skin and were growing faster than the previous iteration. The body looked like it was nearly sedated from the darts, but he would only have fifteen minutes before the detached head had grown its new body.*

*he knew that dismembering the creature would only result in the creation of another one, but he just needed a bit of time to get the bodies back into laundry, where could he could atleast contain them until he figured out what to do next. He wrapped the body and the rapidly growing head in his coat and carried them down to the laundry.*

*There he found Catt and Mz. Hyde gently consoling one of the more placid renditions of the aliens. It was sitting in Catt's lap and crying on her shoulder, on hand over its mouth as if it were in pain.
Two of the creatures, that looked to be the original body and head, were lounging lazily on the pile of ruined socks, while another was playfully wrestling a laundry basket.*
Oh, hey Astrid! *Catt said softly, turning to greet him.*

I came down here to wash my clothes after dealing with a giant slime ball and found these aliens here had trashed the place. This guy licked that puddle and it burned his tongue, so be careful. I think it's acid. *Catt explained, slightly confused by Astrid's outburst. Then she noticed the oozing jacket he was carrying.*

*a twisted panicked grin spreads across his face* Oh don't worry, it's just blood. And that puddle over there is indeed sulfuric acid. I tried to dissolve one of the clones in it, but it just turned it into a raging bloodthirsty monster. My bad. *the bundle starts to writhe in his arms and he tightens his grip* And then I cut its head off, so now there's two raging bloodthirsty monsters. Again, so sorry. *a grey, spiked tail lashes out from the bundle. He throws himself on the floor, trying desperately to hold the creature down with his weight.* What I mean is* he pants* GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE NOW!!

*A number of thoughts crossed Catt's mind as Astrid told of the events. Not the least of which was, Why did he try to drop one of these docile creatures into a bin of acid in the first place?*
Mz. Hyde, get the two in the sock pile! I've got these two! *She hastily stood and carefully dropped the burned tongue alien in the basket with the playful one. Catt picked up the basket and the two girls booked it for the stairs.*
*The Narrator was considering drawing up a trivia, or similarly scientific document on these aliens for convenience.*

*just as Catt and Mz. Hyde reached the top of the stairs, he let go of the two creatures and rolled over on his side. Just as he got to his feet, one of them struck him across the face with the spiked end of its tail. He yelped with pain and nearly fell to the floor again. Hunched over, he managed to run out the door and lock it behind him. He leaned against the wall for a moment, clutching the left side of his face, before hurrying up the stairs*

*As he reached the top of the stairs he noticed a burning sensation on top of the pain from the gouges in his face. He wasn't too worried until he heard the hiss and saw thin wisps of steam rise up from the cuts, obscuring his vision. It seemed that the creature did more than become immune to the acid...*

( As the excitement dies down, one new being remains unnoticed. Standing at a full eight feet tall with inhuman markings, they watch the scientists as they each deal with their creatures in their own individual ways, almost as if to study them- analysing their movements as they pass.
It seems that the monsters may not have been the only ones who made it through. If you guys need any help, this is probably definitely the person you should talk to )

sort of, I mean she was made to be a military general, since all quartz types are battle based and I think these guys specifically were designed for intimidating and tactical leadership. It's less of a psychic thing and more of an "I feel like someone's watching me so I better prime the destabilizer. They're probably going to charge righ nao!" kind of paranoia.

The Jasper's hair stands completely at end and they lunge with fists raised, daring the threat to come closer.
It's not like she'll hurt you on purpose, she's just a veteran soldier with probably a lot of PTSD from Gems executing guerilla warfare tactics on the battlefield. If her gem cracked, she'd probably be able to actually see you and she wouldn't come with guns raised.

( absolutely not ; m ; all the healers are back where she came from so a gem crack here would be a death sentence for her. IF it cracked, however, it would first affect her mental health and generate psychosis, allowing her to hear any and all fourth dimension beings before her body started falling apart. Whether my characters can communicate with us or not is primarily determined by psychic abilities and mental health. The neurotypical ones can't hear us. )

*Almost all of the bookcases on the lower level had been knocked to the ground. The golem was attempting to stand, but it kept slipping on the stacks of fallen books that covered the floor.
Spreading his wings, the avian-esque man leapt across to the far balcony to get a better shot. His talons dug groves in the floor as he landed and turned to fired at his target. The shotgun's bullet struck the giant's shoulder, knocking its arm to the floor.*

The concussive force of his own beating wings knocked him silly, and he fell. Barely concious he kept his wings open enough to not land on top of Mz. Hyde and the candy-golem. He crashed into a wall-mounted bookcase before collapsing to the floor in a shower of hardcovers.*

(So this entire conversation went unnoticed by me, but I guess I'm safe? Yay?)
*Hastie peered over the bannister and saw Mz. Hyde on the floor below him along with the now shattered crystal golem and... some sort of bird man?*
"Mz. Hyde? What the hell is going on here?"

He's a Tengu.He crashed through my bedroom floor while I was trying to eat my cupcake. He's from an interdimensional organization that handles monsters. I helped him take down a giant rock candy golem in the library, saving the world's most pathetic excuse for a man AGAIN. Unfortunately, he was knocked unconscious.

How does Hastie even end up in such situations? *Catt marveled.*
Elaina and I just took care of a fat slimeball that had a deck umbrella stuck in it. It slimed my back while I was trying to hold the kitchen doors shut. I was heading down to the laundry room to wash my clothes. 
By the way, do you want a free deck umbrella?

I don't think the aliens made it. One of them licked the puddle and started crying. *Catt explained as she lead the way down to the laundry room.
When they got there they saw two of the aliens lazily sprawled in a pile of the loders dirty and purple stained socks. Another was playing in an empty basket, its contents scattered about the room. The last one was sitting next to a puddle of clear, steaming liquid, clutching its mouth and whimpering.*

She wasn't on this morning so I posted the thing I made. I woke up about 2 hours before the update so its a bit longer than usual...sorry...
As for the stories I am Loving them!!! I really like how many of the arcs are coming together. *chills* We also get a look into the other demention with Mz. Hyde which is really cool to see! :) Also Lanyon having problems is always fun!! Astrid sort of hosed himself with his aliens. I mean really acid!? I do like the cute ones though! I feel like Astrid has a plan but I do hope that the crazy zombie aliens aren't permenatly locked in the laundry...that would be bad for the society. I really like how dreamer's story ended where the ghost wanted to be a singer but was trapped as a lawyer! Excelent use of the singing bit! I think I hit most of the conclusions but if I'm missing one please let me know! :D
