## Montage #1

Andie the Android skates away from its pursuers, only to be cut off in an alley lot. The Deputy's cohorts quickly fan out to isolate the Android and the Deputy herself closes in to parlay, seeking a duel. Before long, she has pulled the Heartblade from another officer and challenges Andie. That one, in turn, summons a massive conventional blade with a striking pose.  Past them, opposite the police, a thin, vertical line of ice-blue light begins to fade into existence.  After goading the Android fails to get a response, Marguerite lunges towards it. But it shifts to the side, skating past her in the hopes of escaping the conflict. If Marguerite notices the glowing seam before her, she gives no sign, her attention solely focused on the traitor.

The glowing blue line begins to ripple, like a thread being plucked. As it does, thin filaments of light, in that same brilliant ice-blue, begin to fray off of it, few at first, then more and more.

Andie is caught and rebuffed by the officers blocking its way, and turns its momentum into a powerful spinning strike, attempting to knock Marguerite flat without significant harm.  But she is ready for that one's move, and counters, sprawling it out on the ground behind her.

The fraying seam glows more intensely, starting to illuminate the ground around it as the ripped weaves multiply.

The Deputy points the Heartblade out to Andie's flower, exalting in triumph.

The seam finally gives out, splitting open to reveal a place of utter darkness broken by swirling, luminous mist.

Marguerite gives a final taunt before ending the duel.

From out of the dark and forgotten place, Remi and Latrocia emerge.

There is a moment of utter confusion, as Remi calls out to their sister, who is suddenly very aware of the impossible hole in reality. Andie rolls away from the blade, seeking to use the confusion to its advantage, and Latrocia begins a flowing ritual dance, pulling a luminous string from her heart to sew shut the rift.  In the chaos, Andie is able to slip away, Remi and Marguerite argue, and Latrocia tries to explain their arrival.  After a moment, Marguerite realizes the loss of her target, but by then she can only vent that fury into her confusion at her sibling's interference.  She sends away her reinforcements, hoping for them to recover that one while she deals with Remi.

After a brief discussion, Latrocia echoes Remi's pleas for peace with an offer, and, with Marguerite's approval, begins another ritual. Like before, her hands glow that spectral blue, trailing mist as they sweep through the air. This time, though, the mist doesn't dissipate quickly; it gathers at her feet and flows out around her.  Where the mist rolls, grass withers, rots, and crumbles away, and a deathly chill touches the siblings. Mist begins to form in the area on its own accord, leeching in from the darkness beyond the living world, Latrocia now only a catalyst, not the source. Rats and birds fall to the ground, withering and rotting, and even some of the nearer rooftop gardens see their edges fall to the creeping death.

Latrocia approaches Marguerite, her eyes ablaze with blue light. Marguerite is shaken, but resolute and accepts Latrocia's touch. From our view above, in the mortal realm, it seems as though Marguerite simply pops, her form replaced by dense mist that lazily flows away.  Remi is alarmed that their sister went alone and demands to be sent in after. Latrocia complies, vanishing her in much the same way.

Just past the edge of this spectral dome, Andie watches, mouth agape. That one is visited upon by the form of a child, one that stirs deep, forgotten remorse within the Android. The child approaches the edge of the mist, speaking not accusingly, but consolingly to that one. Andie is frozen with guilt, certain that it does not deserve forgiveness and wracked by uncertainty.

Latrocia, seeing that the world beyond has pushed far more aggressively into our own than she had expected, works to reign in the scope of the overlap, to keep the center open while separating the boundaries to their natural state. She is unaware of the child's spirit as the veil between worlds slips between them and Andie.  For a time the uncanny scene is quiet, Andie in shocked silence outside the misty bubble, and Latrocia at its center, luminous and focused.

After a few eternally long minutes, the stillness is broken by a shining skeletal shape appearing in the mist, its white glow creating almost a spotlight around it. This being's purpose is inscrutable, as its motions seem directed at something yet unseen. Lacrotia seemingly notices it, but pays it no mind.

Moments later, a commotion stirs near the skeletal form. Ash and debris swirl up and begin to take shape as Remi pushes herself back across the veil. Once she has formed anew, she pleads with Latrocia, who is clearly alarmed by her words. With a motion of finality, Latrocia pulls the bubble inward, mist rushing into the center, obscuring her and Remi until it collapses into a brilliant blue mote where Latrocia stood.  Remi remains, but their friend has crossed over with the closing of the overlay.

Another rift soon forms, similar to the one that brought the two here, but with far less care and grace. It is a hurried cut, and when Latrocia pulls Marguerite though, it is clear why. Marguerite appears only slightly roughed up physically, but emotionally broken. She has a death grip on her own Heartblade, a terrified expression, and streams of tears flowing down her face.  Latrocia swiftly patches the rift before returning to comfort the Deputy, assuring her that she is safe and hugging her tightly.

Remi immediately joins them, as Latrocia slowly coaxes Marguerite to return her heart to its rightful place.  Andie cautiously approaches, seeking to learn at least something of what is going on. The three are largely motionless for some time, Marguerite still in clear distress, but gradually responding to the comfort offered to her. As she finally returns her own heart, she says something, too quiet to hear from afar, that causes Remi to recoil. Then something else, which further drives her sibling away, before putting her whole weight into an embrace of Latrocia, who is clearly lost for words. Latrocia’s face is a mask of shock and confusion, even as she continues to hold Marguerite.

Andie and Remi meet up and discuss, before eventually choosing to leave the scene, uncertain what to do about the two who remain in a tight but unsteady embrace.
