Nightfall:A Feast of Demons

[7:26:40 AM] Arbi: 
...
[7:29:35 AM | Edited 7:29:52 AM] Omniance: [Wednesday, June 15th ?? : ?? AM
Tartarus, ????]
[7:32:11 AM] Omniance: Kit: He turns and looks back at the glowing passage of light with a stern expression, waiting for Yuri. He's fled.
Odie: He wouldn't, we're here to save his brother. He looks at Kit for a moment, then back to Kit.
Kit: He continues to stare at the light motionlessly.
[7:36:15 AM] Omniance: The area they're in looks like a dilapidated urban house. With broken down walls and windows and furniture laying around. The glow is coming from a flight up stairs that lead up to the second level. The light here is dim, save for the glow cast by the entrance portal that Kit made, what light comes in from outside is light-blue, like in the morning just before the sun rises. The air here is damp, and everything smells of bitter dust and mold.
[7:42:09 AM | Edited 7:43:51 AM] Arbi: Yuri: He seems to come out of invisibility ahead of the small group, looking around at the large house-like dungeon area. His entrance is quiet and no one notices that he's there yet, after a moment he looks back at them and says. You guys coming?
[7:44:11 AM] Omniance: Odie: He looks to Yuri, then back to Kit. See? Told you he was coming.
Kit: He looks at Yuri, then walks passed him, putting his hand on his shoulder for a moment before walking into the next room. This way.
Odie: He looks at Ricky and then Yuri, then forms an Ice Katana in his hand and follows after Kit.
[7:46:45 AM] Arbi: Ricky: He looks at Odie's ice katana before he lights his demonic hand on fire, though the flames are only a few centimeters high as he warms up for a fight.
Yuri: He walks with Kit, knowing that he doesn't want him out of his sight. It doesn't seem to bother him much.
[7:48:03 AM] Omniance: Odie: Tatarus looks so different down here, after all these years. They pass through room after room, each looking like a damp musty old house. It's not even Binding of Isaac anymore...
[7:50:45 AM] Arbi: Ricky: Aren't these rooms supposed to be full of monsters? He stays cautious of his surroundings, knowing that monsters in videogames sometimes like to surprise the hero.
[7:56:01 AM] Omniance: Kit: He looks back at Ricky for a moment, then looks ahead before speaking. Four years ago this place was opened to legions of demons. They swept through like a flood, destroying everything but the most formidable creatures. A year or two after that, hearing that this place was home to powerful demons, other creatures appeared to pursue them. Great knights and hunters of a long passed infernal epoch. The dark master of this place has become too weak to challenge those that ran rampant here, so he hides. Now all that's left on most of the levels of this Hell are broken memories, or faded dreams.
[8:04:44 AM] Arbi: Yuri: He looks at Kit when he mentions the dark master, assuming it's Belxephon since they found him at the core of Tartarus when Astreiya guided them through each floor.
Ricky: Despite Kit claiming that there aren't anymore enemies in Tartus he keeps his hand lit with fire. Fire can be seen in the reflection of his eyes as he senses the users of demonic flame. I can feel Vera here... he's... far away.
Yuri: He looks back at him. Which way?
Ricky: He stops walking for a moment before he looks down towards the floor. Down. All the way down...
[8:05:44 AM] Omniance: Odie: Wasn't the last time we went all the way down the time that Astreiya was... Here? He looks at Yuri.
[8:08:48 AM] Arbi: Yuri: He nods before continuing to walk beside Kit. Nemo's demon must've took him all the way down to the core... He sighs. I still can't figure out what he wants with him.
[8:12:47 AM] Omniance: Kit: Demons aren't that complicated. They do what they do for two reasons; to gain power, or to hurt others. He starts walking them down a flight of stairs that makes it look like they're headed down into a basement.
However, their surroundings aren't a basement at all. The stairs lead down onto a square chunk of rock floating in darkness. Other such platforms can be seen in the distance.
Kit: We're close. He sounds surprised and looks around. Ricky can feel that they're suddenly much closer than they were a moment ago. Kit looks back at the stairs, out of slight confusion. It must want us to find him.
[8:15:48 AM] Arbi: Ricky: If we're walking into a trap we might not come back from this...
[8:17:26 AM] Omniance: Kit: He continues moving forward without listening to Ricky, like he can sense where they need to go now. He grabs Yuri's shoulder and pushes him with him.
Odie: Yeah, well, we should be used to this kinda stuff by now. He looks around, then follows after Kit and Yuri.
[8:19:05 AM] Arbi: Ricky: He senses Lucas's presence again and whispers to himself. Hold on, Vera... He quickly follows after the small group, the flames around his demon flesh growing in temperature and flame.
[8:22:34 AM] Omniance: As they walk from platform to platform they start to see large piles of corpses, like black demons. Ripped to shreds, smoldering with blue embers, or soaked in black ichor.
Kit: As he leads the way he's becoming visibly sick, hunching slightly. His speed moving forwards has slowed a little. After a moment he raises his sleeve to his mouth, like he smells something really awful that none of the others can. He coughs quietly a few times.
[8:24:01 AM] Arbi: Yuri: He looks at Kit and slows down with him. ...You alright? He looks back at Odie and Ricky as they catch up to them.
[8:27:29 AM] Omniance: Kit: He coughs. I'm fine. As they walk into the next room they can suddenly see a large mansion in the distance, floating on a chunk of black stone. It's the Prince's old mansion, in it's old style before it was updated by Natalya. Kit stops and looks around at the large yard. The plants and grass look withered and dead, and there's gravestones that make the surroundings of the house look like a big cemetery. The mansion's windows are lit up with very dim yellow lights from within. He's in there... He coughs and stumbles slightly, it's like he's having trouble breathing.
[8:34:56 AM] Arbi: Yuri: The Prince's mansion... this brings back memories. He looks it over before noticing that Kit is stumbling slightly.
Ricky: He sounds slightly concerned for Kit's breathing. You look strong, kid but you can't help us fight a demon when you have asthma...
[8:39:48 AM] Omniance: Kit: He coughs again and stops, he takes a slow breath, and a wave of light rushes outwards from him, illuminating the area around him with a dim golden glow, Ricky feels his arm weaken as it passes him. He gasps and breaths easy. It's this damned place. He takes a step forwards and the edges of the glow alight with blue cinders, like the edges of burning paper, and the hallowed area immediately starts to shrink. Kit looks around as he halts, and the area stops shrinking. It's obvious that he's not going to get any closer to the house.
Odie: Looks like this is your stop. He looks ahead at the mansion, gripping his katana. He's starting to notice that the air has a slight chemical smell to it.
[8:42:46 AM] Arbi: Yuri: He looks back at Kit, seeing that he's recovering from his shallow breathing. I have to go with them.
[8:43:31 AM | Edited 8:43:48 AM] Omniance: Kit: After a moment he nods and push Yuri forward. If you run, I'll find you again.
[8:44:41 AM] Arbi: Yuri: He looks back at Kit before looking towards Ricky and Odie. You guys ready?
[8:45:15 AM] Omniance: Odie: He nods. Let's go kill the bad guy and save the Princess... Well Prince... Not that Prince... Lucas is kinda a Princess sometimes I guess.
[8:47:36 AM] Arbi: Ricky: He keeps his eyes on the mansion before noticing Yuri going ahead, his fires become intense again as he walks out of Kit's hollowed ground and follows behind him.
[8:49:21 AM] Omniance: Odie: He follows closely to Yuri.
As they reach the mansion the front door is already open. The interior of the house looks rather normal, full of expensive furniture and other things that they've seen before. One of the rooms adjacent to the large foyer has a light on, and the sound of a fireplace can be heard comeing from it.
[8:51:50 AM | Edited 8:52:06 AM] Arbi: Ricky: He senses Lucas coming from the left side where the light is most bright, he quickly walks in that direction. This way.
Yuri: Knowing that Ricky can tell where he is he quickly follows after him without questioning him.
[8:52:24 AM] Omniance: Odie: So anyone else wondering why the Prince's mansion is in the depths of Tartarus? He looks around as they walk, expecting an ambush or something.
[8:57:38 AM] Arbi: Yuri: He keeps away from the fireplace, staying close to the shadows so that his attacks stay effective. It's weird, isn't it?
Ricky: He slows down and tracks down Lucas again to make sure they don't take a wrong turn.
[8:58:52 AM] Omniance: Lucas: His voice calls out from the next room over. In here!
[8:59:50 AM] Arbi: Ricky: Vera?! He calls out to him and starts heading in the direction of his voice.
[9:04:50 AM] Omniance: As the group runs into the next room, they can see it's a large dining room with a long table that could sit about eight people. Atop the table is a full prepared feast that looks like something that would be prepared for a king. The smell is actually really good.
Xephonsacul: At one end of the table he's sitting in a high-backed chair. His signature smile isn't present, and his red eyes turn to look at Ricky with a weak and unamused expression.
Lucas: He's sitting at the other end, a large plate of what looks like steak or something sitting in front of him. He smiles as his three friends walk into the room. He's wearing his leather jacket, a black hat, and most noticeably, his eyes are a bright blue. We've been waiting for quite some time.
Xephonsacul: He lets out a haggard sigh and looks down at his plate of food.
[9:07:44 AM | Edited 9:08:50 AM] Arbi: Ricky: He smiles when he sees Lucas but slows down to a stop when he sees his eyes are blue. His smile fades away to a frown. ...Vera? 
Yuri: He slows down, quickly noticing Lucas's blue eyes before he looks towards Belxephon on the other side of the table, wondering what's going on.
[9:09:18 AM] Omniance: Lucas: He cuts into his steak with a knife and fork, motioning to three seats at the table with plates of food. Sit, and we'll get started. He smiles a takes a bite of the steak, chewing it slowly.
[9:13:16 AM] Arbi: Ricky: He looks down towards the table with the plate full of food before he sits down at the spot closest to Lucas.
Yuri: He looks towards Belxephon before sitting down, lip speaking to him "What's going on?" 
[9:14:34 AM | Edited 9:15:43 AM] Omniance: Xephonsacul: As Odie sits down, it looks like Belxephon is going to answer, but Lucas cuts him off.
Lucas: I thought a nice dinner would help smooth things over. He looks from Belxephon to Yuri. We know why you're here.
[9:15:23 AM] Arbi: Yuri: He looks back towards Lucas, he doesn't look amused by this whole setup. Yeah, you kidnapped my brother...
[9:16:03 AM] Omniance: Lucas: I am your brother. He shrugs and cuts another piece off his steak, eating it.
[9:16:55 AM] Arbi: Ricky: He tries sensing Lucas's fire again to make sure it's him, he isn't sure what to believe right now.
[9:19:21 AM] Omniance: Lucas: He looks to Ricky. So what were you planning on doing anyway? He grabs a tall glass of some red liquid and takes a drink from it. Delving into the depths of some alien world and saving me? He looks to Yuri. Seems ridiculous, but then again you'd do anything to save me, because I would do anything to save you. Even if it just turned out to be a waste of tears and heartache.
[9:22:01 AM] Arbi: Yuri: He narrows his eyes at Lucas, knowing that he doesn't sound like his brother at all. Slowly he looks towards Belxephon again.
Ricky: What happened to you?...
[9:29:25 AM] Omniance: Lucas: A large creature seems to move in the darkness behind him, it's skeletal frame just visible as a silhouette. I survived. Like I always do. He looks to Yuri. You were right, when you said what you said, big brother. Nemo was smarter than all of you, but that doesn't mean he was wise. He looks back to Ricky. Plant a little thought in his head... "If I devour his soul, I'll be made whole, I'll live..." He smirks and takes another bite of his steak. He was so well protected I could never kill him, but it was easy to make him think I was going to... You see I was actually trapped in him. So I needed someone else to do him in for me. He looks back to Yuri. Luckily I have an impulsive brother, so wrought with grief that he couldn't make heads or tails of what needed to be done. He could be made to kill Nemo for me... So here I am, with a nice new body with all the advantages of the old one, and none of those pesky warding tattoos or binding spells... He looks down at his food and cuts off another piece.
[9:33:24 AM] Arbi: Ricky: I'm not... He stands up, his entire arm and right side of his body lighting on fire as he raises his hand up. The heat alone begins burning at the edges of the table, causing it to blacken. ...letting you keep him, demon!
[9:35:31 AM] Omniance: Lucas: So what are you gonna do. He smiles as puts another small piece of food in his mouth and chews it. Because we both know you're not going to be able to strong-arm your way through me.
[9:37:41 AM | Edited 9:39:47 AM] Arbi: Ricky: He's breathing hard and looks like he's on the verge of tears but at the same he looks as helplessly mad. I'll die before I stop trying...
Yuri: He catches something in the corner of his eye and looks towards Belxephon again.
[9:39:37 AM] Omniance: Lucas: How about we play a game? He looks ahead at Belxephon. I know at least one person at the table loves riddles. He looks to Ricky and Yuri. You're here for my name right? You have my name and that's half the battle. All you would need after that is a really good exorcist. He smiles and looks back down at his food, he really seems to be enjoying his meal.
[9:44:44 AM] Arbi: Ricky: ...I'm not here to play your games! His fire flares up, the flames rising up high around him and turning red. He knocks the chairs out of the way before stopping in front of him, about to attack Lucas.
Yuri: While Ricky is knocking the furniture to the side he whispers to himself. Belxephon...
[9:46:02 AM | Edited 9:46:19 AM] Omniance: Lucas: You'll play my game if you want to save your hearthrob. His eyes dart to Yuri. You call his name again and I'll be eating the rest of him for dessert.
[9:47:10 AM] Arbi: Yuri: He looks at Belxephon. I'm sorry... There's a little sympathy in his tone of voice.
[9:51:56 AM] Omniance: Lucas: Were is your better half anyway? He looks to Xephonsacul as he sits weakly at the other end of the table. Scared?
Xephonsacul: I'll be here soon...
Lucas: You don't sound so sure... A pair of large skeletal hands reach from the darkness behind Xephonsacul. One grabs him, wrapping around his torso, and the other grabs one of his arms. With a loud rip Xephonsacul's left arm is torn away and pulled back into the darkness.
Xephonsacul: He gasps slightly and then slumps to the side a little.
Lucas: He looks to Ricky. Will you play the game or not? The skeletal arms reach from the darkness, setting a long tray of small garnished sandwiches onto the table before pulling back into the darkness and vanishing.
[9:55:03 AM] Arbi: Yuri: I'll play your game.
[9:57:28 AM] Arbi: Ricky: His flames die down a bit as he turns to look towards Yuri. What?...
Yuri: This is between me and Lucas. He looks to Ricky and then Odie. We can't fight him, he's too powerful. So just let me handle this...
[10:01:41 AM] Omniance: Lucas: He smiles and wipes his mouth with a napkin and sets it aside. When it was said, it was usually said along what was given to you. Long have you known it, so long that you've known it before you knew much else. It is said in both anger and love. It's used whenever I am needed. What is it?
[10:04:05 AM] Arbi: Yuri: He closes his eyes again and goes quiet for a long moment. Before I give him the answer, I want both of you to leave... He opens his eyes and looks towards Odie and Ricky.
[10:04:32 AM] Omniance: Odie: What, why? He looks confused.
[10:06:14 AM] Arbi: Yuri: Trust me, Odie... He looks to him before looking to Ricky.
Ricky: He looks from Lucas back to Yuri. Yuri, if you die...
Yuri: I won't. He smiles a bit. I promise.
[10:07:07 AM] Arbi: Ricky: ... He doesn't like it but a part of him feels like he can trust Yuri one last time. He looks back towards Lucas and starts to back away from him.
[10:08:21 AM] Omniance: Odie: He sighs and stands up. I guess... He looks at Yuri and pats him on the shoulder before heading out of the room.
[10:10:26 AM] Arbi: Ricky: He keeps his eyes on Lucas before his fire completely die out, this whole situation being painful for him. He turns and walks out of the room before he changes his mind.
[10:11:07 AM] Omniance: Lucas: He looks to Yuri. Your answer?
[10:13:20 AM] *** Call ended, duration 3:48:00 ***
[10:25:25 AM] *** Call from Arbi ***
[10:27:17 AM] Arbi: Yuri: Ya'know... There's something I've never told you about, Lucas. It happened in High School when you went on that field trip with Odie.
[10:28:42 AM] Omniance: Lucas: Yeah? He takes another bite of his steak, then reaches across the table and grabs one of the sandwiches.
[10:32:10 AM] Arbi: Yuri: He glances down at the food, thinking he knows what the demon is actually eating. There was a corruption left over in my soul from Guaricana and it was eating Beliruy... in order to get my attention he started making me see things, it really fucked with me. Sometimes he'd show up and talk to me, all in riddles.
[10:33:40 AM | Edited 10:34:09 AM] Omniance: Lucas: Is this the part where you tell me that you've actually been a world-class riddle-solving champion, instead of a worn down drug-addled homeless mass-murderer for the passed year? He takes a bite of the sandwich and raises an eyebrow at him.
[10:35:44 AM] Arbi: Yuri: He laughs a bit and smiles, looking down at the floor. The thing is... He looks back at up Lucas. I'm still awful at solving riddles.
[10:36:31 AM] Omniance: Lucas: You were never very good at anything. He grabs his glass and takes a drink.
[10:36:47 AM] Arbi: Yuri: He keeps smiling. I wouldn't say that...
[10:37:29 AM] Omniance: Lucas: He sets his drink down. Becoming possessed and killing people that don't need to die. You're good at that.
[10:38:03 AM] Arbi: Yuri: What do you think? He looks towards Belxephon.
[10:39:55 AM] Omniance: Lucas: I think Billy has outlived his welcome. Two large hands reach from the shadows and wrap around him, twisting him like a napkin before crushing him, and then ripping him in half. They pull what's left of him back into the shadows. Lucas goes back to eating.
[10:41:03 AM] Arbi: Yuri: He watches him get crushed, he doesn't seem bothered by it at all.
[10:41:50 AM] Omniance: Lucas: So do what you're going to do. He finishes off his sandwich.
[10:45:57 AM | Edited 10:47:15 AM] Arbi: Yuri: Despite not looking bothered by Belxephon's other half being torn in half, his smile still has a small hint of sympathy. What about the other half? He looks back towards Lucas.
[10:47:35 AM] Omniance: Lucas: He rolls his eyes. Is you entire plan of attack hinged on a self-loathing chaos demon with the barest hint of intelligence being somewhere expected? That didn't even work the first time...
[10:48:29 AM] Arbi: Yuri: He smiles a bit. You must really be stupid if you think I depend on Billy anymore.
[10:49:53 AM] Omniance: Lucas: I already know your other demon's name. Maybe I'll devour him too after this. I'm sure he's skulking around here somewhere... You think you can save me by asking for help from another demon? He shrugs. Typical of you...
[10:50:57 AM] Arbi: Yuri: You do know I'm stalling, right?
[10:52:38 AM] Omniance: Lucas: I figured as much. I'm genuinely curious as you what it is you're stalling for. He takes another bite of steak. Because every bite I take, is just another little boost. He looks to Yuri.
[11:00:39 AM] Arbi: Meanwhile...
Stacy Lee: She's wheeling her wheelchair across Dark Room, the black chunks of rock floating in what appears to be a purple abyss. Kit, Ricky and Odie are following behind her. They enter the one of the portals and show up in a higher level of Tartarus. He figured that Skeletor was gonna get really pissed when he found out what we were really up to. That's why he asked you to leave, so he wouldn't hurt any of you.
[11:02:34 AM] Omniance: Odie: So what are we really up to? He looks around, he hasn't been here since that skeleton attacked them.
[11:14:11 AM | Edited 11:15:33 AM] Arbi: Stacy Lee: We're here to try and save Lucas, the only way Yuri knows how to. The small group is wheeling across a massive natural stone bridge across a dark chasm towards a cave. She looks determined to get this finished, like this will help her out somehow.
Meanwhile...
Cinnamon: He looks up at Beliruy briefly from behind the little table in his shop, it's the same one where he first met Belxephon. It appears like he's putting something together, something so small with such little pieces that the difficulty of handling each part is actually making him sweat. After perfectly placing a tiny jaw piece on the skull he sighs in relief and looks up at him. Whew. Almost done, boss. And don't you worry about the quality, you have Cinnamon's Guarantee that this will be perfect.
[11:17:31 AM] Omniance: Beliruy: He looks like a little kid, like a really small version of Yuri, his red eyes just above the counter top, watching Cinnamon. Or I get my money back.
[11:28:21 AM] Arbi: Stacy Lee: As they reach the cave she quietly sinks into the dark shadows and appears up ahead.
Ricky: He looks a little surprised when he sees her sink like that and appear up ahead. So that's how she gets around... He starts running to catch up to her. Hey, Stacy Lee. You sure this plan is gonna work?
Stacy Lee: It will, it has to. She sinks into the shadows again and appears even further ahead. Beliruy can hear them approaching.
Cinnamon: He doesn't look up at them as he does the finishing touches on the little skull. A dim blue light can be seen coming from underneath his wings.
[11:33:13 AM] Omniance: Beliruy: It looks like it tastes good. He looks back at Stacy Lee as she nears the mouth of the cave. He actually does look like Yuri, when he was about ten or twelve, and with really messed up hair. He's wearing a simple black shirt and shorts.
Odie: He walks in, looking around Cinnamon's place. So... What's Yuri's plan, again?
[11:41:35 AM] Arbi: Stacy Lee: She ignores Odie's questions, not wanting to waste time explaining everything to him. Beliruy's appearance catches her off guard but she simply just smirks at his childish appearance. She looks towards the purple bird. Is it done?
Cinnamon: He wipes some invisible sweat from his forehead. Take a look for yourself. He slowly raises his wings from the table, revealing a small skull with a bandana covering the jaw. The dim blue light coming from the skull seems to slowly shift to red, almost to signify the demon's absence. 
Stacy Lee: She slowly reaches for the Merchandice before carefully picking it up and holding it in her palm.
Cinnamon: So small, so fragile. If you're gonna use it... use it sooner than later. 
Ricky: He looks at Odie when he sees the bandana on the little skull.
[11:43:56 AM] Omniance: Odie: So Nemo is a merchandice?
Beliruy: I want to crunch his skull in my mouth again. He looks at the little skull, the bright red jack-o-lantern smile appearing on his face.
[11:50:01 AM] Arbi: Stacy Lee: She moves it away from him and covers it with her hand so Beliruy doesn't swipe it from her. She doesn't look mad and acts like he's just a kid. We need this one, little one. She turns her wheelchair towards the group, specifically Kit. How fast can you get us back to the church?
[11:50:59 AM | Edited 11:51:17 AM] Omniance: Kit: A few minutes. He's been staring at Beliruy since they walked in.
[11:53:30 AM] Arbi: Ricky: He walks away from the group and walks towards a strangely carved out part of the large cave. I've been here before...
[11:57:23 AM] Arbi: Cinnamon: He looks down at the burnt handprint on his wooden counter. I remember you being a lot scarier back then too. Sheesh...
Ricky: I was possessed... but I still remember what happened. He leans down and cleans the dirt off the floor, it reveals a smooth surface. This was used by one of your friends... it's a portal. He looks back at Kit.
[11:59:57 AM] Omniance: Kit: He looks from Beliruy to Ricky, then to the doorway. Behind him Beliruy slinks away, not having noticed kit was there. Yes... This will work. He walks up to the area and starts speaking in latin, the surface lighting up.
[12:02:14 PM] Arbi: Stacy Lee: She sinks back into the shadows and Detraho Strides onto the platform, slowly wheeling up towards the portal besides Ricky and Kit.
[12:04:11 PM] Omniance: Odie: He walks onto it. Well since I'm not back by now I'm probably fired. He shrugs slightly.
[12:08:34 PM] Arbi: Cinnamon: He waves with his wing at the group just before they walk forward into the portal and vanish. Come back anytime! Bring your friends!
Ricky, Odie, Kit and Stacy Lee all appear coming out of the portal of light, back into the dimly lit Church Mausoleum.
Stacy Lee: She wheels herself across the carpet to Yuri who's laying across the ground. It looks like he's asleep.
[12:09:03 PM] Arbi: Meanwhile...
[12:12:31 PM] Omniance: Lucas: You know what I thought was weird? Nemo was so intent on changing the future, but he didn't keep us from becoming possessed by Belxephon. He looks at Yuri as he grabs his third serving. The table now has a large tray with Xephonsacul's upper-torso, basted in black liquid with a large blue apple in his mouth. Seems like a plot hole to me. He shoves a chunk of food into his mouth. He's easily eaten almost his weight in food, but doesn't show any physical changes, or sighs of stopping.
[12:17:51 PM] Arbi: Yuri: He's standing near the other side of the large table, towards the left. He didn't want us to be vulnerable... he knows how dang-ger-ous the world is.
[12:19:06 PM] Omniance: Lucas: I suppose someone had to put all those people in their places. He takes a drink. So do you think this plan of yours will work? This is a lot of stalling.
[12:25:39 PM] Arbi: Yuri: He hears something, a quiet whisper that he only seems to be able to hear. He smiles and a black chain flies out from beside him and stabs Xephonsacul's torso. The light coming from the fireplace causes the chain to immediately pull back. He grabs the torso and smiles at Lucas. You'll find out soon enough. He vanishes with the torso.
[12:27:24 PM] Omniance: Lucas: He looks to where Yuri was, then to the empty space of food. ...Rude. There's a roar from the darkness that shakes the entire house.
[12:31:28 PM] Arbi: Yuri: He wakes up suddenly. Ricky, Odie, Kit and Stacy Lee are all around him. Seeing Stacy Lee again causes him to get butterflies in his stomach but he easily hides it as he stands back up. He looks at each of them and nods. Ready for part two...
