Chaos & Blood

Guaricana: Blood begins to drip down from the ceiling, covering the entire floor in blood around the messily made circle. His hidden form appears in the droplets until he's completely covered in blood. I stand not by your word but by the flames... Your end has come... The windows in the museum blow open, letting a gust of wind blow out the candle and also cover all four of them in blood.
[6:59:30 AM] Omniance: Veronica: She starts to almost panic, pulling out an old silver lighter and trying to light it as she does the candle ignites with a violet flame.

Leena: The flame immediately explodes outwards and incinerates the blood on Veronica and Lucas as they're standing right next to each other. Despite the flames not burning them, they're still singed quite badly by the heat from the blood being burned off of them. What the hell is THAT!? She's standing at the entrance to the museum.

Lucas: He's patting himself off as flakes of burned blood and smoke fall from around him as he spins in circles trying to get his back.

Veronica: Her face is soot-black, and she doesn't bother to look try and get it off.
[7:18:06 AM] Arbi: Guaricana: The demon's head slowly turns to look back at Leena but because he's still invisible, only drenched in blood, parts of his "face" aren't even there. As he stares at Leena she feels her fear begin to grow, everything becomes worse. The blood covered floor begin to spawn creatures with no faces, little boys that seem familiar to her. It isn't until these demon spawns open their mouths and scream in agony, calling her name for help, that she realizes they all sound like her little brother.
[7:24:26 AM] Omniance: Leena: What the hell is happening?! She screams and closes her eyes as she looks away.

Lucas: Wait-Leena?! Is that you! LEENA!? He runs across the museum floor and takes as deep a breath as he can muster, breathing out a stream of flames onto the screaming children.

Veronica: While Lucas runs to aid Leena, she's standing where she was, just trembling slightly, she drops the candle as it doesn't seem to be doing anything anymore. After a moment she sees a the pale grey mirror, covered burned ash, it looks like it wasn't as spared by Leena's fire as she and Lucas were, but it's still intact for the most part. She runs across the floor, flakes of burnt blood and ash coming off of her as she does. She slides to grab the ivory handle of the mirror, fumbling it as she picks it up, causing it to bounce in her hands several times before she catches it. She turns and looks for the fragments as Lucas incinerates the screaming children.
[7:30:08 AM | Edited 7:30:46 AM] Arbi: The demon spawn don't sound or look the same to Lucas and when he breathes in to launch fires at them he hears Mandy's voice pleading for him to stop but it's too late and the spawn are covered in flames, among the many screaming voices that follow he hears Mandy's screams of agony.
[7:32:34 AM] Omniance: Lucas: He closes his eyes, knowing that they're not real, but still too affected to be able to watch her burn. He coughs as he finishes breathing and stumbles towards Leena, out of breath. ...What... Are you doing here-

Leena: She turns and thrusts her hand out, a ball of violet flames streaks just over Lucas's shoulder and towards the demon, forcing Lucas to duck and stumble out of the way.
[7:36:34 AM | Edited 7:37:16 AM] Arbi: Her violet flames fades away halfway across the room, it almost looks like her magic ran out of power before it could reach him. Every following spell does the same, becoming worse and worse, causing Leena to think she has no magic left. Despite every logical conclusion, she comes to that one. She's run out of magic and that means she isn't a witch anymore.
[7:39:05 AM] Omniance: Leena: She tries to fire a few more spells, each failing miserably. She falls to her knees, holding her hands in front of her face. What the hell is happening!? LUCAS WHAT THE FUCK HAVE YOU DONE?!

Lucas: He turns to look at her. What? He turns to look at the demon. I don't know!

Veronica: She finds a large shard of the mirror and holds it up, turning to look at Guaricana. I COMMAND YOU TO LOOK HERE!
[7:47:27 AM] Arbi: Guaricana: The blood drenched man looks directly at Veronica, directly into her eyes and nothing else. She begins to wonder why it's not working, she hasn't realized that what she found on the floor wasn't a piece of the mirror but the metal side of a knife. The same knife she used to cut her neck is now cutting her hand open. Her determination to stop the demon forces her to continue holding the "piece of the mirror."
[7:48:36 AM] Omniance: Veronica: ...I don't understand. She looks down at the mirror, backing up slowly as she fumbles with it in her hand.
[7:48:54 AM] Omniance: Meanwhile...
[7:57:26 AM | Edited 7:58:52 AM] Omniance: Yuri is sitting in the middle of the dark, blue pin-points of light floating around him. Belxephon is sitting behind him, they're back-to-back. The sound of Belxephon devouring cracking bones and chunks of red flesh can be heard. With the power from devouring Aibhleann he's also annihilated the creature feeding off of him in the last few minutes, and he seems to be enjoying himself as he sloppily eats the remains of it. Besides the sound of Belxephon eating, Yuri can also hear voices and various actions echoing through the darkness from the events happening around him.

Leena: Her voice shrieks through the darkness. LUCAS!

Lucas: Leena?! It almost sounds like he's calling out after her because she's been killed or hurt.

Veronica: DEMON! She sounds even more distressed than she did in real life.

Belxphon: Out of the eater came forth meat and out of the strong came forth... Sweetness...
[8:00:22 AM] Arbi: Yuri: He just looks forward, listening to Belxephon eat behind him. He feels too weak to question his riddle, though he thinks he understands what he means.
[8:06:26 AM] Omniance: Belxephon: He throws something across the room, and it bounces a few times with a thud. As he speaks he sounds strange, not terrifying or demonic, more like Lucas or Yuri did when they were little. You have no control over me. I am not real, but sometimes I seem to be. I can come during night or day, but will be forgotten. Even if I am left alone for weeks at a time I will not become rotten. He leans back, pressing the back of his head against Yuri's. Sometimes I tell you of things to come. Sometimes when you see me you can do things you've never done. In a twist of fate I'm rarely true. In this twist of fade I am what empowers you. He sighs quietly, seeming to be content for once.
[8:10:06 AM | Edited 8:13:16 AM] Arbi: Yuri: While listening to Belxephon he closes his eyes, trying to block out of the terrified voices of his friends. He whispers. Please make the screaming stop!...
[8:11:19 AM | Edited 8:14:24 AM] Arbi: Yuri: He speaks again, whenever the voices stop he speaks. I have to save them... How can I save my friends?... How do I save my brother?
[8:14:00 AM] Omniance: Belxephon: All shining silver, I've stolen your face. It turns the world without changing it's place. If you smile to me, I will always smile back...
[8:21:39 AM] Arbi: Yuri: He shakes his head. Belxephon... I can't... He closes his eyes again. I don't understand. He speaks through more screams. You have to tell me a different way!
[8:25:08 AM] Omniance: Belxephon: He sighs and stands up, turning and grabbing Yuri and pulling him up so that they're facing each other. Your temple isn't mine and it's not familiar, but I will take it by force as we now look so similar. A simple yes or no is all I need, and you may sit back and watch as I continue to... Feed. He narrows his eyes as he stares into Yuri's.
[8:27:36 AM | Edited 8:29:57 AM] Arbi: Yuri: He just looks at Belxephon's eyes, knowing what he means now but he isn't given enough time to think about it. The voices of his friends cause him to close his eyes again. He'll do anything to save his brother now. Do it...
[8:39:56 AM] Omniance: Belxephon: He opens Yuri's eyes and slowly gets to his feet. As he looks around his eyes turn completely red. He looks at Veronica and and walks over to her, ripping the ivory hand from her bleeding hands, he then pushes her over and turns, bending down to grab a shard of the mirror. He stands upright and looks to Guaricana, being able to see the demon, even the invisible parts. First course was flesh served charred and weak, the blood of your blood I lovingly eat. Second meal was hungry, and starving for me, but first flesh's blood was his end to be. Now I see third meal of falsehoods and too weak to fool, I'm going to devour you too and we will see what rules.
[9:16:12 AM | Edited 9:20:02 AM] Arbi: Guaricana: The bloody man watches Yuri stand, knowing he isn't Yuri anymore. The caged devil talks and talks. He looks away from him towards Lucas, the blood crawling up his body and underneath his clothes. But the words mean nothing to me. The blood goes unnoticed until he sees it on his hands, when he looks down he realizes his whole body is covered in blood. The blood around his neck causes his breathing to be fire. He begins to suffocate. Let me show you, servant of man, why I am feared by the the children of Adam... The blood dripping from Veronica's hand causes her to grab her own neck, she uses all her strength to choke herself. The blood on her hand stains her neck and even when she finds the power inside her to let go the blood stains continues to squeeze until there is no more air left in her lungs.
[9:23:41 AM] Omniance: Belxephon: Chains burst from the darkness and latch onto Guaricana and they twist him so that he's looking at Belxephon. All a gleam in the night I can see your face, reflected in me that hellish place. You stare with a grimace, merciless cruel. Come play my games until I am done eating you... Guaricana is looking directly into the mirror. The blood on everyone lets go as he vanishes and Belxephon smiles.
[9:29:06 AM] Omniance: Lucas: He coughs several times before taking as deep a breath he can, holding it in. His throat is burning and he stares at his brother, wanting to say something, but afraid to.

Belxephon: He looks to Lucas, and smirks slightly, seeing that he's probably going to die if he doesn't destroy the demon. Hold it in a moment, of which you've got only three, even the greatest man bows to that which he can't even see. His eyes roll up and he falls to the side as he releases Yuri's body. Lucas just stares at him in confusion as he cheeks start to bulge out, his face turning red.
[9:30:04 AM] Omniance: Belxephon appears in Tartarus, looking across to Yuri, and then to Guaricana, who is at the far end of the room.
[9:35:34 AM] Arbi: Guaricana: The blood drenched man has form now. He's looking at Yuri who is just standing infront of him, blood covering his face. He isn't responding to anything that's happening. Start your games, entertain us. I want to see what the legless servant has in store for me.
[9:40:49 AM] Omniance: Belxephon: Third course in a three course meal. Large black wings expand from his back and he steps forwards, growing taller as his legs turn into goat-like legs with hooves. His voice comes out rumbling and deep. Time to devour the whipping boy. His mouth widens into a unnatural smile and he breaths out a shrieking pillar of flames that puts anything Lucas is capable of to shame.
[9:49:34 AM] Arbi: Guaricana: He jumps over the flames blood solidifying under his feet so he can leap over the fire with a second jump and land behind him. When he hits the ground his blood covering his body splashes all over, much of it landing on Belxephon's body. He uses it to immediately knock him down into the ground and then steps on his head before he is able to turn it again, holding it there. The blood on his feet getting all over his cheek allowing him to remove his foot to kick him away into the dungeon wall. I've seen that trick. Try another for your meal...
[9:55:41 AM] Omniance: Belxephon: He vanishes into the dungeon wall and appears from the opposite side of the room, slamming into Guaricana and grabbing him. A creature appears over Belxephon's shoulder, a kind of giant knight wreathed in barbed wire and coated in blood. The blood on Guaricana shifts and stabs inwards into his being, then runs through his body and pierces downwards, impaling him in place.
[10:06:01 AM] Arbi: Guaricana: You think to kill me with blood? He absorbs all the blood impaling him before bloody spikes instantly come out of his own body, impaling Belxephon. The spikes keep growing outward pushing Belxephon away from him before the blood liquifies and Guaricana stands back up and turn towards the knight. He simply looks at him not even having to make any movements and the blood covering the knight crushes his armor inward like a machine crushing a car into a cube.
[10:11:40 AM] Omniance: Belxephon: The knight let's out a rumbling moan and is crushed as he vanishes. A massive hovering weapon appears and immediately cleaves Guaricana in half, a pack of Cerberon Hounds appears in a flash of green necroplasm biting down at him and mercilessly beginning to rip him apart.
[10:24:15 AM] Arbi: Guaricana: The blood on his skin solidifies and the weapon bounces off like it was hitting a metal surface. The blood immediately flies out and grabs onto the weapon, using it to cleave the summoned Cerberon Hounds in half when they're summoned. The blood crawling up the weapon breaks it in half, destroying it after. I'm done watching this legless one flail about. He looks at Yuri and the blood on his face crawls up into mouth and nostrils. Before Belxephon can run to help him his chest explodes, his heart falling out onto the dungeon floor.
[10:38:51 AM | Edited 10:41:41 AM] Arbi: Yuri: The blood never reaches his heart. The second it reaches his throat he gulps, drinking the blood and having it heal him. He regains his strength and goes invisible as he turns to look at Guaricana.

Guaricana: He's actually surprised and he quickly looks around, trying to find where he went. Blood drinker... When did he... He immediately looks at Belxephon.
[10:42:14 AM] Omniance: Belxephon: He laughs and storm of frost ripples up around Guaricana, freezing the blood around him solid and then piercing inwards as the ice expands into crystalline prisms. The cold quickly runs into the demon's body, freezing him solid from the inside out.
[10:52:29 AM] Arbi: Guaricana: Belxephon's laughing causes him to become furious and he fights back before it's too late, the frozen blood slowly moving out of his body before it can completely hold him in place to be killed. He jumps out of the cold storm, his blood quickly melting on his skin before he raises his hand up and slams it down into the ground. You cAn't hide frOm me!

The dungeon shakes and the ground begins to crack, falling apart in the middle of the room as Guaricana summons a monster. The floor starts to break apart, falling down into what looks like a giant leech. It vomits out a stream of blood, covering the dungeon in inches of blood and revealing where Yuri is.

Guaricana: ThEre yoU are! Hundreds of arms reach out from the blood, all moving towards him.
[11:00:46 AM] Omniance: Belxephon: He turns and breaths out a stream of glowing green-white mist onto the blood. The mist instantly kills the blood, turning it from fresh to dead. It quickly coagulates into spongy chunks. A wave of ice expands across the floor, freezing it further. He rushes forwards towards Guaricana, the ice shattering apart and rushing forwards along side him and down into the leech as dozen of crimson-black javelins as he leaps and flies at Guaricana. He slams into the blood demon and bites down into his flesh, ripping a huge chunk out of him, along with his left arm. He continues to mercilessly rip apart the invading demon.
[11:06:06 AM] Arbi: Guaricana: The leech roars out and explodes in blood, covering Belxephon's entire frontal body in it before he reaches Guaricana. He smiles wickedly as Belxephon stops in place in mid-air. He raises his hands towards him, pretending like he was grabbing onto him. He slowly starts to pull his hands away from each other like he was pulling something apart. The blood drenched Belxephon mimics this and he feels his own body begin to tear apart down the middle.
[11:14:18 AM] Omniance: Belxephon: Acid pours from his skin and sears the blood from his body, dripping down into the already heavily damaged leech below him. He flies forwards and slams a quicksilver lance through Guaricana's body, the lance turns into a chained hook and Belxephon uses it to pull the demon to him. Below the two of them at the center of the room a thick sheet of ice freezes over the center of the room, entombing the dying leech and keeping it's death from spewing more blood into the dungeon. Belxephon pierces into Guaricana's flesh with his hands and tears a chunk out of him.
[11:28:04 AM] Arbi: Guaricana: Using what fresh blood he has left around him he jumps up, the blood pushing him up even faster to dodge Belxephon's air attack. He stays in the air and looks down, raising the blood beneath him and infusing the mercury weapon with blood as he changes it into a chained hook. He knocks the chain out of his hand, the last remaining blood hands sticking out of pools of blood grabbing onto the quicksilver weapon which vanishes in seconds since Belxephon isn't holding onto it anymore. Guaricana lands back down on one of puddles of blood and looks towards Yuri, remembering he's still here.

Yuri: He backs away and looks down, seeing he's leaving bloody footprints on the floor.

Guaricana: He shakes his head and raises him up into the air, using his own blood against him. He holds his hand out to Belxephon when he goes after him again, threatening to kill Yuri if he moves. Tell me, Belxephon... How did my dear brother taste?
[11:36:04 AM] Omniance: Belxephon: Charred and weak. He cracks his jaw as he finishes speaking and it makes a loud popping sound, easily as intense as a gunshot, causing Yuri to wake up, if only for a moment, and he vanishes from Tartarus. Belxephon raises his hand and a massively crippling curse overtakes Guaricana's body, completely incapacitating him as pain like he's never felt before tears through his body. Belxephon slowly flies up to Guaricana and grabs him.
[11:45:13 AM] Arbi: Guaricana: Your afflictions... mean nothing to me anymore... He grabs Belxephon's neck, becoming empowered as Yuri is no longer sleeping which means Belxephon is no longer at full power. But what of the caged devil? He resides in not one, but two children of Adam. He smiles. You smile when they smile. He smiles wider. You know pain as they do. Belxephon's body begins to experience all the pains Yuri and Lucas have gone through. He experiences them as they did, he cries like they did. And you will suffer for it. Bloody spikes explode from his hands, going through Belxephon's neck and head.
[11:51:23 AM | Edited 11:56:06 AM] Omniance: Belxephon: Lucas passes out from holding his breath too long and appears in the corner. Belxephon turns into a fog of mist, the spines piercing nothing. It stings and stirs the bites of life. I feel little from all this strife. He reforms behind Guaricana. Mortal terrors and mortal plights, have no place here among my delights. Yuri passes out from the pain and reappears next to his brother, who is just looking on in fear as Belxephon's form expands to fill most of the room and he tears Guaricana apart and begins to devour chunks of the demon by the mouth full.
[11:55:47 AM] Arbi: Yuri: He looks up, seeing the monsterious Belxephon devouring the bloody man he saw before. He just looks down after a moment, not wanting to see the rest.
[11:59:03 AM] Omniance: Lucas: He just gulps silently as he watches, feeling sick and weak. He back up against a wall and slides down until he's sitting on the cold floor. Even though he wants to look away he can't, and every time there's a loud pop or a ripping of flesh he jumps slightly, finally seeing Belxephon as a completely disturbing thing that he's probably going to be stuck with for the rest of his life.
[12:04:25 PM] Omniance: There's a shot of pain in Lucas's chest. Then another, and a third.

Lucas: His eyes open and he gasps for air several times.

Leena: Lucas! She looks him over before running to his brother.

Veronica: She pulls an epinephrine syringe out of his chest. He's breathing! Lucas! Lucas are you alright?

Lucas: He coughs several times and turns on his side, jittering from the adrenaline pumping through him. What the f-f-fuck was that?!

Veronica: She sighs in relief. Thank god...

Leena: She's next to Yuri, opening Hailey's spellbook to see if she can find anything that can help her heal him.
[12:08:14 PM] Arbi: The book almost seems to frown, unable to find any healing spells as he never had any. This explains why Hailey was never able to heal herself or anyone else, she never had a way to learn them.
[12:15:37 PM] Omniance: Leena: She yells out, We're gonna need an ambulance I think! She starts to panic. Yuri! She tries to hold his head up. Yuri!

Veronica: She runs over to him, I would like to keep the authorities out of this if necessary. She opens the large medical kit she had with her to administer the shot to Lucas.

Leena: He's dying!

Veronica: Oh hush! He'll be fine. She pulls out a bottle of disinfectant. He's just exhausted and in extreme pain from what's happened to him. She fumbles with the packet of cloth from the kit a few times, her hand hurting to much to get it open. Open this, take this- She hands Leena the bottle. -and rub his chest down with it. I doubt it'll even scar. She moves the medkit next to Leena. Use the tube of aloe gel after you clean him up. She takes a deep breath and then quickly goes back to check on Lucas.
[12:18:12 PM] Omniance: Later that afternoon...
[12:21:17 PM] Omniance: The three of them are in Veronica's office up stairs. Lucas and Yuri were carried up there and laid out on the floor on some sheets and pillows. Leena fell asleep in the large cushioned chair. Veronica is down stairs, running the museum as weekends are a busy time and she wants to keep up appearances. She had to rush to urgent care and get some stiches to her hands and a bandage on the side of her neck, but is otherwise unscathed.
[12:24:34 PM] Arbi: Yuri: He opens his eyes as he wakes up, immediately feeling a dull pain radiating from his skin on his chest. He groans silently for a moment before just dealing with the pain and looking around seeing he's in Veronica's office. He also seees Lucas beside him still sleeping. He reaches over and shakes him.
[12:27:28 PM] Omniance: Lucas: It's the weekend there's no school... He grumbles. Fuck off... He turns on his side. What the hell are you smoking... The room smells like... Old bandaids...
[12:28:07 PM | Edited 12:28:42 PM] Arbi: Yuri: Sorry Mandy Lane, he can't talk right now he's sleeping
[12:30:01 PM] Omniance: Lucas: Mandy...? Wha-What? He immediately sits up as he remembers what happened last night. THE DEMONS! Leena is startled awake. Lucas looks around, seeing they're in Veronica's office. He immediately puts his hands on his chest and raises his shirt to look at his chest where Veronica stabbed him with the epinephrine. Yuri. He looks at his brother. You're alright!
[12:32:59 PM] Arbi: Yuri: He's still laying down, not wanting to sit up because pain. I'm never doing this again... I almost died so many times that I lost count. I. Lost. Count.
[12:34:00 PM] Omniance: Leena: Well that's good to hear. She stands up and stretches. Saved your guy's ass last night. Probably ten times. Twenty. Maybe. She yawns. I. Lost. Count.
[12:37:13 PM] Arbi: Yuri: He raises an eyebrow at her. He mumbles. Everytime I almost died I was pretty much in hell. You never saved my ass... He raises his voice. How the hell did you find us anyways? You're stalking us aren't you?
[12:42:07 PM] Omniance: Leena: I found the witch that was trying to summon that demon and his brother. She was going to sacrifice Mandy Lane to empower the demons that they could eat your souls and possess your bodies. So I stopped her... Then I tracked you two down and saved you from like, three-hundred metric gallons of blood... Then I found the medkit that revived Lucas, and I... She looks at Yuri. Swabbed you down to help ease the pain from the burns... She looks to the side.
[12:44:48 PM] Arbi: Yuri: He just slowly narrows his eyes at her before sitting up, there's an obvious look of pain on his face but he's doing everything in his power to ignore it. He walks out of the office.
[12:46:05 PM] Omniance: Lucas: He gets up, stumbling slightly before catching his balance and then following after his brother. Grandma did say she smelled a witch.
[12:47:33 PM] Omniance: Leena: She stomps out after them. You two are unbelievable! You know the hell I went through to stop that bitch, and then I had to show up here and get LITERAL GLIMPSES OF HELL!! AND I DON'T EVEN GET A THANK YOU?!
[12:47:56 PM] Arbi: Yuri: No! He slams the door closed behind Lucas.
[12:49:18 PM] Omniance: Lucas: He sighs, feeling kinda bad for her. I think I'll just state the obvious... He looks at his brother as they reach the stairs. ...No more demon fights.
[12:50:31 PM | Edited 12:51:03 PM] Arbi: Yuri: I'm done. No more powers. No more demons. He winces everytime he doesn't carefully step down the staircase.
[12:51:54 PM] Omniance: Lucas: He walks behind his brother slowly. That would be an option. But then there's that whole... Deal with the Prince.
[12:52:30 PM | Edited 12:53:34 PM] Arbi: Yuri: I never promised I would use my powers to help him. If he wants me to wash his car or cut his lawn, fine. I'm not fighting anymore demons or monsters or anything supernatural.
[12:54:02 PM] Omniance: Lucas: True, but... Uhh... Might need them. I mean... I'd like to get out of this too... But not using our powers? He sighs. Whatever the Prince tells us we have to do is what we have to do...
[12:56:35 PM] Arbi: Yuri: You know what? He can have Belxephon. That's what I'll do... I'll let him take him as payment instead. He makes it downstairs and starts walking throught the museum where there are some people walking around.
[12:57:37 PM] Omniance: Lucas: Hmm... Think we could do that? That would... That would be great.
[12:59:39 PM | Edited 1:01:12 PM] Arbi: Yuri: He walks out the frontdoors and goes towards their jeep in the parking lot. I love the powers. I'll never deny that... but everything else that comes with it... I feel like I'm gonna die before I'm old enough to even drink beer.
[1:01:51 PM] Omniance: Lucas: He pulls out his keys. I know what you mean... As they reach the jeep he opens it and gets inside.
[1:03:10 PM] Arbi: Yuri: He groans as he gets up onto the passenger seat. Mom's gonna kill me if she finds out something lit me on fire...
[1:04:24 PM] Omniance: Lucas: We'll just tell her you fell asleep smoking too much pot. He stars the car. And it lit your shirt on fire. He looks at his brother and smiles.
[1:05:33 PM] Arbi: Yuri: He narrows his eyes. Maybe I should tell her you dropped one of your cigarettes on me while I was asleep and lit me on fire...
[1:07:46 PM] Omniance: Lucas: Ehhh, she'd never believe that. I'm the responsible one, remember? He looks up in the rear-view mirror, Leena's face staring back at him. He jumps slightly. What the fuck?! How the hell did you get in here?

Leena: Need a ride home. The tank got hit by a meteor last night. She's eating a breakfast bar from one of the vending machines. You guys still owe me a ride after I took you to the asylum anyway.
[1:08:38 PM] Arbi: Yuri: He sinks back into his seat and turns invisible.
[1:10:36 PM] Omniance: Lucas: Pfft... He mumbles. No powers... Huh? He backs the Jeep out and starts driving for the road.
[1:11:39 PM] Omniance: Later that night...
[1:13:08 PM] Omniance: Lucas: He hangs up the phone in their room, having just been talking to Veronica for nearly an hour. So... He turns and looks at Yuri. I explained our situation with the Prince to her and she said she has a solution.
[1:20:27 PM] Arbi: Yuri: He's been laying down the entire day in his bed, he even skipped dinner because he didn't want his mom finding out he was in pain. Yeah? What'd she say?
[1:21:35 PM] Omniance: Lucas: It's actually really, really simple. All we have to do is talk to someone we didn't ever want to talk to again. He crosses his arms over his chest. Mandy Lane.
[1:22:38 PM] Arbi: Yuri: Why would talking to Mandy Lane solve anything? Veronica is full of shit.
[1:24:17 PM] Omniance: Lucas: Veronica says the Prince has a private line. She gave me the number. Mandy Lane calls it, he answers, the deal is void.
[1:26:11 PM] Arbi: Yuri: You better start thinking of a plan to get her to call that number then... He groans as he stands up from his bed and heads downstairs.
[1:26:56 PM] Omniance: Lucas: Well I call Leena, and get her to call Isaac and she'll get him to call Mandy Lane and she'll call the Prince. The plan is flawless.
[1:27:23 PM] Arbi: Yuri: Lucas hears him call out to his grandma as he leaves their room. Grandma!
[1:28:19 PM] Omniance: Lucas: He sighs and turns to dial Leena's number. Their grandma is down stairs.
[1:29:04 PM] Omniance: Grandma: What is it? He can hear her from the kitchen, she's sitting at the table.
[1:30:47 PM] Arbi: Yuri: He sits down at the table. His mom is in the garage taking out the laundry and his sister is in her room upstairs. I'm done. Get rid of Belxephon. I don't care what you do with him after, I just want him gone.
[1:31:35 PM] Omniance: Grandma: I already told you no. She's playing solitaire with a stack of cards.
[1:32:24 PM] Arbi: Yuri: I never asked for this... You sealed him inside me!
[1:34:42 PM] Omniance: Grandma: He saved your life. Twice. She puts down a card and sighs. You like the power. She puts down another card. You like the adventure. You're just scared. Deal with it.
[1:38:32 PM] Arbi: Yuri: Do you see this? He raises his shirt. This is your fault. I'm blaming you for this. He lowers his shirt. Get rid of Belxephon or I'm telling mom everything.
[1:46:32 PM] Omniance: Grandma: She laughs and puts down another card. I'm not releasing Belxephon, not after what he did to your grandfather. If you don't want the powers, stop using them. She looks at him with her dark glare. No one is forcing you to do what you've done... Guaricana and Aibhleann... You and your brother killed two demons and now you want to stop? Making a name for yourselves in the region. Maybe someday one of you can be the Prince. She sighs, looking away and putting down another card. Or you can just toss it away. Your power... She puts down another card. Telling your mother won't solve anything. It'll just cause her stress.
[1:48:31 PM] Arbi: Yuri: Why didn't you put him in a book then? The prince put the demon inside our friend inside a book. He grabs his backpack and takes out a mathbook. Here.
[1:50:55 PM] Omniance: Grandma: Totenkopf is an young fool. She licks her fingers and pulls another card out. Books get stolen. She sighs and puts the deck of cards on the table.
[1:53:06 PM] Arbi: Yuri: He sighs, losing patience. Why don't you just kill him then? ...or better yet just banish him to hell like you were supposed to in the first place!
[1:55:22 PM] Omniance: Grandma: Already said why I would not do that. He must be punished. You two are the perfect punishment. Belxephon cannot make you do anything you don't want to. Stop crying to grandma that you've been given power.
[1:57:18 PM] Arbi: Yuri: He growls and mumbles something before standing up, walking back upstairs saying "ow" every so often. He goes back into his room and lays down on his bed.
[1:59:17 PM] Omniance: Lucas: He's sitting at his desk sketching something. Talk to Grandma? What's she say?
[2:00:34 PM] Arbi: Yuri: She told me to stop crying... If she wasn't our grandma I would've punched her in the face...
[2:01:53 PM] Omniance: Lucas: She said she wouldn't help us anymore... He pauses in thought. Maybe we can find someone else who can.
[2:03:19 PM] Arbi: Yuri: Leo.
[2:03:38 PM] Omniance: Lucas: ...What? He looks up from his sketch.
[2:04:39 PM] Arbi: Yuri: Ask him to get Isaac to call the Prince. It doesn't have to be Mandy, talking to either of them will work.
[2:05:08 PM] Omniance: Lucas: Didn't you specifically say Mandy Lane?
[2:06:39 PM] Arbi: Yuri: He shakes his head. I know what I said. Talking to either of them fucks up his side of the contract.
[2:07:28 PM] Omniance: Lucas: Well I don't have Leo's number...
[2:08:34 PM] Arbi: Yuri: He thinks for a moment. We could ask him at school in the morning...
[2:09:21 PM] Omniance: Lucas: Monday is the last day the Prince has, we gonna take that chance? Maybe we should just... Go meet with him or something. Someone's gotta know where he lives.
[2:10:45 PM] Arbi: Yuri: The australian guy! He gets out of bed, closing his eyes tightly. Fuck... fuck. He grabs the keys and heads downstairs again.
[2:11:20 PM] Omniance: Lucas: Hey- Wait up! I'll drive!! He jumps out of his seat and chases after his brother.
[2:12:24 PM] Omniance: Later...
[2:14:53 PM | Edited 2:15:49 PM] Arbi: Yuri: He looks out towards Samson's house, it's dark out but the porch light is on. You gotta do this without me ... I can't keep walking around with all these burns.
[2:15:41 PM] Omniance: Lucas: He sighs and gets out of the car. He walks up to the front and rings the doorbell.
[2:18:42 PM | Edited 2:19:02 PM] Arbi: After a moment the frontdoor opens.

Samson: Lucas, is that you? Mate, what are you doing here? I wasn't expecting you to show up.
[2:19:49 PM] Omniance: Lucas: We were wondering if you knew were Leo lived?
[2:28:33 PM] Arbi: Samson: Leo? Sure, mate. He called me for a ride home a few months ago but I still remember. He remembers the murder at the gas station but doesn't think much of it. Let's see... You ever pass by Donald Graham Elementary School?
[2:29:05 PM] Omniance: Lucas: We live right up the street from it.
[2:33:16 PM | Edited 2:34:25 PM] Arbi: Samson: He's on... Chloe street. He says it with an accent, making it sound like "Clou(d)-y" Yeah that sounds right, Chloe street. It's the only house with a basketball court.
[2:34:51 PM] Omniance: Lucas: ...You mean Chloe? He tries to think of a "Cloudy" street.
[2:37:26 PM | Edited 2:39:19 PM] Arbi: Samson: Potatoe Poutatow. He looks over at the jeep. You paying Leo a visit then? Mind telling him we're doing DnD tomorrow?
[2:38:28 PM] Omniance: Lucas: Yeah, sure. Thanks Sam. He waves at him as he turns to walk back to the car.
[2:39:47 PM] Arbi: Samson: Anytime, mate. Drive safetly. He closes the door.
[2:40:48 PM] Omniance: Lucas: He gets in the Jeep and starts it up. I didn't understand a word that guy said. I think Leo lives around the corner from us, in that cul-de-sac.
[2:42:20 PM] Arbi: Yuri: He's austraallian mate. Australliaan. Wait, he lives around the corner from us?
[2:43:45 PM] Omniance: Lucas: Shrimp on yah barby, gonnah cuuk yah up some rite rott'n leg for lunch mate. Tall aht'n love tase like dingo, rite good one that is. He drives them back towards their house.
[2:44:40 PM] Omniance: Lucas is knocking on Leo's door.
[2:48:33 PM] Omniance: Leo: He opens the door. ...Hey, Lucas? He looks around. What's up?

Lucas: You know we live right on the other side of that house, right there? He points to some one-story house.

Leo: ...Yeah I see you guys every morning on the way to school... For the passed ten years.

Lucas: Oh... Well we thought we might get you to call Isaac for us.

Leo: ...What? For what? Why?

Lucas: Umm. He scratches the back of his head, not wanting to lie since he always screws everything up when he does. It's... Well we... Hmm.

Leo: He just looks at Lucas strangely. ...What the hell are you doing?

Lucas: We just need you to give him a number to call. Can you do that?

Leo: ...Yeah... Sure?

Lucas: Great. He pulls out a piece of paper.
[2:55:06 PM] Omniance: Leo: ...So what's this for?

Lucas: It's just important, alright? Kinda personal.

Leo: For you or for Isaac?

Lucas: What?

Leo: He grabs the paper. Personal for you, or personal for Isaac?

Lucas: ...Why does that matter?

Leo: You know he has a girlfriend right?

Lucas: ...What-

Leo: Mandy Lane. Plus, he's definitely not even in to guys.

Lucas: You're doing this on purpose.

Leo: He rolls his eyes. Look, I won't tell anyone.

Lucas: Just get him to call that fucking number Leo! It's IMPORTANT! He turns away and stomps off back towards the car.
[2:58:59 PM | Edited 2:59:18 PM] Arbi: Yuri: He watches Lucas stomp his way back to the jeep. He just looks at him when gets back in the car, wondering what happened.
[3:00:26 PM] Omniance: Lucas: I really wish I could burn everything down. Right now. He starts the jeep and drives, making a U-turn and stopping in front of their house.
[3:00:50 PM] Arbi: Yuri: Let's do it. Let's burn something...
[3:01:25 PM] Omniance: Lucas: He sighs. Like what?
[3:03:08 PM] Arbi: Yuri: He shrugs. I was kidding. Your fire is too strong, it won't be fun because you incinerate everything too fast. He gets out of the jeep and starts his slow careful walk back up to their house.
[3:05:27 PM] Omniance: Lucas: He's walking next to his brother as they make their way towards their house. We should probably thank Leena somehow...
[3:09:40 PM] Arbi: Yuri: You could start dating her.
[3:10:20 PM] Omniance: Lucas: He sighs. You don't want to date her?
[3:15:21 PM] Arbi: Yuri: Dark chains fly out from the shadows underneath their car and wrap around Lucas's arms and legs. This is your punishment for asking me that question.
[3:15:37 PM] Omniance: Lucas: What?!
[3:15:49 PM] Arbi: Yuri: Bye. He walks up the cement pathway to their frontdoor.
[3:18:50 PM] Omniance: Lucas: He just struggles against them until one of them breaks, he burns the others away and he runs after his brother, grabbing him and pinning him against the wall next to the front door. He's about to say something when they hear Leo.

Leo: He looks at them strangely and Lucas immediately lets go of his brother. Were those chains?
[3:19:44 PM] Arbi: Yuri: He whispers. He knows too much...
[3:20:58 PM] Omniance: Lucas: What the hell are you talking about?

Leo: Well it's dark, looked like chains.

Lucas: He looks at Yuri, then back to Leo.

Leo: ...Aaaanyway, I just thought I'd drop by and tell you that I called Isaac and gave him that number.
[3:25:34 PM] Arbi: Yuri: Is he gonna call the number? It's important. He looks at Lucas. You told him it was important right?
[3:26:18 PM] Omniance: Lucas: I told him it was.

Leo: Yeah, he said he'd call it.
[3:32:31 PM] Arbi: Yuri: That's good. He gets off the wall that Lucas pushed him up against. We should really hang out sometime man.
[3:34:35 PM] Omniance: Leo: Sure. Maybe tomorrow. He shrugs. I'll walk over and see if you guys are up for anything.

Lucas: We have church in the morning so... Around twelve maybe.

Leo: Alright. Twelve. He waves at them and walks away.
[3:35:48 PM] Arbi: Yuri: He turns and walks away, waving his hands and causing more chains to grab onto Lucas that cause him to trip when he tries following him.
[3:36:00 PM] Arbi: The chains vanish when he falls down.
[3:41:56 PM] Omniance: Lucas: Hey-\*He falls down, getting up slowly.\*

Luana: As Yuri opens the door he can hear her talking to their mother. No. You put the sauce in the pan, then you put the butter in, then you put in the tortillas. She starts saying something in Portuguese, which Yuri and Lucas can barely understand.

Clara: She says something back, it sounds like she's really stressed out.
[3:43:59 PM | Edited 3:44:52 PM] Arbi: Yuri: He heads back up to their bedroom, not wanting to hear their grandma and mom argue about cooking.
[3:45:33 PM] Omniance: Lucas: About a minute later he walks in and falls on his bed.
[3:46:56 PM | Edited 3:47:53 PM] Arbi: Yuri: He's already laying down on his bed. He's quiet for a long moment before saying. You know what I hate most about Isaac?
[3:48:08 PM] Omniance: Lucas: He says muffled into his pillow. Despite being a pip-squeak nerd he somehow scored the hottest girl in school?
[3:51:54 PM] Arbi: Yuri: He said The Binding of Isaac is a boring and outdated game. He glares up at the ceiling. He probably died on the first boss...
[3:52:41 PM] Omniance: Lucas: He's still speaking into his pillow. Now I hate him even more.
[3:54:31 PM | Edited 3:58:14 PM] Arbi: Yuri: I hate him more than you do... He sits up and takes out his weed from his super secret place behind his bed. He better hope he doesn't mess this up too. I can still turn invisible... He mumbles something about choking him in his sleep.
[4:01:34 PM] Omniance: Lucas: I hope so too. He rolls onto his back.
