Into the Flames

[1/25/2015 11:25:27 PM] Omniance: [Unknown Month, Unknown Day, Unknown Time
Unknown Location - Ricky's Party]
[1/25/2015 11:37:29 PM] Arbi: Isaac: He closes the frontdoor behind him and looks around for Mandy. Mandy? There's no sign of her or Tiffany anywhere. The foyer has the least amount of students, most of them hanging around in the other rooms. Two students talking near the window see Isaac just standing there a few feet away from them, they look at him like he's bothering them. Uh... He keeps walking and goes further into the house. The stairs have a few people on them, they're laughing at some joke one of them made, he doesn't think Mandy went that way and instead keeps walking towards what looks like the rec room. There are five couches in there along with an massive expensive television, many of the jocks from school are sitting around there. On the back side of the room he finally sees Mandy near the bar, she's talking with the cheerleaders although he can't hear what they're saying.
[1/25/2015 11:39:25 PM] Arbi: Missy: I saw you talking with him outside, he's sooo cute.
Tiffany: Well I've never seen him before which can only mean he doesn't go to our school.
Missy: Tell us everything! How did you meet him?
[1/25/2015 11:42:33 PM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: She raises her eyebrow at them. I met him after school, about a week ago. She's struggling to keep from screaming at them, because of how utterly stupid she things they are for not recognizing someone who their group has picked on for what seemed like years. He's the nicest guy I've met. Really sweet.
[1/25/2015 11:46:14 PM] Arbi: Tiffany: She takes a sip from her wine and looks around the room, trying to find where he is. She looks back at Mandy. You never told us his name, Mandy. What is it?
Missy: I bet he has the sexiest name.
[1/25/2015 11:46:56 PM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: She wonders if she should tell them his real name, or just make one up. Umm...
[1/25/2015 11:48:28 PM] Arbi: Selene: Those wines must've hit you hard, Lane. You already forgot your boyfriend's name.
[1/25/2015 11:52:25 PM] Arbi: Having just arrived no less than five minutes ago, Selene isn't making any sense saying that Mandy has had wine. Mandy doesn't remember even taking a sip from anything since she sat down but sure enough when she looks at her hand she sees an almost empty wine glass.
[1/25/2015 11:54:18 PM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: She looks at the wine glass. Well... After a moment she sets the glass down. It's Clark... His name is Clark. She looks away from the glass to Selene.
[12:00:49 AM] Arbi: Selene: She looks away from Mandy. Not bad.
Tiffany: Clark? Like Superman...That's really hot. I bet he's really popular at his school.
Stacy: She's sitting on the bar counter with her legs crossed. Despite being the cheerleader captain she's usually the most quiet, almost like people aren't worthy of her voice. I want to meet him. She gets off the counter and walks towards him after spotting him.
[12:01:47 AM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: Uhh... She looks to the other girls. I'll introduce you then... She gets up and follows Stacy closely.
[12:03:51 AM] Arbi: Isaac: He's leaning back on the wall, trying to fit in by looking cool and not caring. He sees Mandy suddenly and gets off the wall but his smile fades quickly when Stacy walks up to him first. He almost says "um..." but instead leans back against the wall and lets out a bored. Hey...
[12:05:23 AM] Arbi: Stacy: She almost feels insulted for a second but acts like she didn't hear him. She waits for Mandy to introduce her.
[12:06:30 AM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: Stacy, this is my boyfriend Clark, She kind of stresses the "Clark" part, but not obviously so, just enough for Isaac to get the point. Clark, this is Stacy.
[12:11:00 AM] Arbi: Isaac: He doesn't say anything and kind of looks away like Stacy isn't important.
Stacy: ...There's no one quite like you attending our school, Clark. Maybe I enrolled into the wrong school...
Isaac: He gives her a slight shrug, still looking away.
Stacy: She clears her throat to get his attention. When he doesn't look at her still she says. Excuse me. She walks away, out of the room.
[12:12:16 AM] Arbi: Isaac: He looks at Mandy and sighs in relief. I really didn't want to talk to her.
[12:12:44 AM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: Yeah, neither do I. She looks around. Where the hell is Ricky anyway?
[12:14:13 AM | Edited 12:15:11 AM] Arbi: Isaac: I haven't seen him. I don't see any of the jocks that shadow him either. He looks towards where Stacy went. It's a big house. Maybe she left to find Blake, Ricky's usually around him.
[12:15:00 AM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: She shakes her head. I guess I'll go follow her. Keep an eye out. This place is... Weird...
[12:15:34 AM] Arbi: Isaac: He nods and leans back against the wall to blend in.
[12:16:47 AM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: She turns and quickly follows after Stacy so that she doesn't lose her in the crowd of students.
[12:18:13 AM] Arbi: Stacy: She's walking down towards the other end of the house. She turns a corner into a long hallway, there aren't any students around in the direction she's headed.
[12:19:44 AM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: She follows Stacy a few paces behind, far enough to stay out of her sight, but close enough that she can just make up an excuse as to why she's following her. The whole time she tries to remain inconspicuous though.
[12:22:30 AM] Arbi: When Mandy turns the corner into the long hallway she realizes Stacy is gone. All the doors are closed and she heard none of them open or close. The music coming from rec room isn't so loud in this part of the house, letting her think easier.
[12:25:02 AM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: She stares down the hall for a moment, momentarily looking around and then looking back around the corner at the rest of the party to make sure she didn't miss Stacy going somewhere else. After a moment she slowly starts to walk down the hall, looking for signs of Stacy, like a door that's cracked open slightly and listening for her voice through the doors.
[12:25:29 AM] Arbi: Meanwhile...
[12:32:20 AM] Arbi: Isaac: He looks around the party, the loud music and many voices starting to annoying him. He walks out of the room and back to the foyer, the couple that was standing near the window are gone now. He walks over to it and looks out the window, everything looks normal outside except for the fact that the sun is still setting behind the mountains when it should be gone by now. He looks down at his watch and looks back up, none of it fits. He walks up to the door and tries opening it but it doesn't budge.
[12:32:36 AM] Arbi: Meanwhile...
[12:33:42 AM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: After finding no signs of Stacy she turns the knob on the door farthest down the hall and peaks inside, looking for where Stacy went.
[12:37:32 AM | Edited 12:39:04 AM] Arbi: A gust of hot air pushes past Mandy. After she rubs her eyes from the hot air she looks inside to find a hellish dungeon that looks like it was made using magma rock. Much of the ground is on fire and tall pillars line the massive hallway. At the very end she can see some people talking but they're too far away to see or hear well.
[12:39:03 AM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: Her eyes go wide as she peers into the hellish room, realizing that it's similar to the one she saw in the basement of that house. She quickly closes the door, thinking that she needs to go get Isaac and tell him about this.
[12:41:52 AM] Arbi: A blunt object hits Mandy in the back of the head, knocking her down.
Stacy: She's standing behind her as she falls over. I knew it. Everything goes black and Mandy passes out.
[12:45:20 AM] Arbi: After a few minutes Mandy regains conciousness. Two jocks are holding her arms in place, she realizes they took her to the end of the dungeon. Infront of her is a demonic altar with Ricky sitting on it looking down at her. Stacy is standing to the side along with a few other jocks.
[12:47:20 AM | Edited 12:48:02 AM] Arbi: Ricky: You're lucky you didn't hit her in the face. I wouldn't want the most beautiful, popular girl in school getting a visible scar.
[12:48:24 AM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: She groans slightly and looks around as her eyes focus. ...What... She quickly remembers where she is and what she was doing. What... The hell...
[12:51:05 AM | Edited 12:52:09 AM] Arbi: Ricky: Were you looking for me? Why? I'm just... He gets off his throne. ...a stupid football player that bullies people weaker than him. I thought you hated me.
[12:53:29 AM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: I don't really understand what the hell this is... She's internally struggling between confusion, anger, fear, and just lashing out with sarcasm, having trouble deciding which will keep her from getting into more trouble.
[12:54:39 AM] Arbi: Meanwhile...
[1:01:10 AM] Arbi: Isaac: Everytime he hears someone walk back into view he stops messing with the doorknob and pretends like he's just standing there looking cool. When they leave he goes back to tinkering with it, after a moment he takes out a small lock picking kit and takes out a tool and quickly starts to take the doorknob apart. He puts the pieces down and grabs the holy in the door, opening it. A massive gust of hot air hits him in the face, he covers his face and lowers his hand when he can to look outside. A massive hellish landscape meets his gaze. There is no sky here, just a ceiling made of the ground. A massive canyon full of fire can be seen about half a mile away and despite the fires it's fairly dark in every direction. He steps back into the house and closes the door. We're...this is...fuck I have to get Mandy. He turns and runs down the house in the direction Mandy went.
[1:01:22 AM] Arbi: Meanwhile...
[1:03:32 AM] Arbi: Ricky: I think you're lying to me. He walks up to her. Not only that. You're hiding something, Mandy Lane. Do you know why I know you're hiding something? He grabs her chin.
[1:04:25 AM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: Because you're known for your critical thinking and deduction skills.
[1:09:32 AM] Arbi: Ricky: He shakes his head, laughing before lashing out at her. His eyes erupt in fire and his skin turns black like it was burnt wood. NO! IT'S BECAUSE I CAN'T CONTROL YOU, MANDY LANE. THAT'S ALL I WANT RIGHT NOW IS TO CONTROL THAT LITTLE HEAD OF YOURS BUT FOR SOME REASON I CAN'T. He calms down and steps away, looking away from her. I can't figure it out. He turns to look at her. What makes you so special? You're nobody, you're a little girl that uses her good looks to control everyone around her...That's what I like about you. You like to control everyone...just like me.
[1:11:13 AM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: She rolls her eyes. I don't like controlling people. It. Just. Happens. Effortlessly.
[1:17:46 AM] Arbi: Ricky: He walks away and says it with her, whispering at first but saying the last part out loud. It. Just. Happens. Effortlessly. I know...It's not hard for me possess anyone. You spend some time with me...just be my friend and it happens. But like I said you're different. He looks back at her. Tell me. Tell me what I want to know. He flickers infront of her, looking like normal Ricky again, holding a lighter close to her face. I don't want to kill you, Mandy Lane but if you make mE UpSET His skin turns black again and the lighter turns into a magma dripping from his wooden hands. She's forced to back her face away from the intense heat. I'M GOING TO BURN THAT PERFECTLY BEAUTIFUL FACE OFF AND MAKE YOU THE UGLIEST PERSON THAT EVER WALKED THE PLANET.
[1:23:14 AM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: She recoils from the heat in fear, but there's a growing anger in her eyes and they turn deeper emerald. A sheen of shadowy darkness envelopes her and the jocks holding her have their grips immediately broken and they stumble a foot away. She lands on her feet, and stammers a few steps backwards on her high heels before catching her footing. She looks up from her feet back to Ricky, her body shrouded in a darkness with only her green eyes visible. Because I already made a pact with something. She turns and tries to run for the door, kicking her high heels off as she does so that she doesn't trip and break her ankle or some other cliché.
[1:28:44 AM | Edited 1:30:07 AM] Arbi: Mandy Lane runs for over ten seconds just to reach halfway towards the dungeon door at the end. The dark dungeon fades away from her and she runs into a classroom. She remembers she's late for class and had just run into class as the second bell rings.
Mr: Hammer: You're late. I expect more from you, Mandy Lane. He shuts the door behind her. Take your seat and we'll begin. He walks infront of the black board.
[1:31:28 AM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: She stops mid-step and looks around the classroom. The shadowy veil of protection has already vanished. ...I... She puts her hand to her head. ...What? She looks around for her seat, feeling that something isn't quite right. After a moment she just sits down, thinking intensely that she's forgotten something important.
[1:38:53 AM | Edited 1:40:11 AM] Arbi: Mr: Hammer: He starts writing a long equation on the board. He finishes writing it out in chalk. This one should be easy if you finished your homework. Anyone? He looks around the class before looking down at her. Walk up to the board are show the class how to solve this problem. The board reads "Can a prime p satisfy 2p − 1 ≡ 1 (mod p2) and 3p − 1 ≡ 1 (mod p2) simultaneously?"
[1:40:25 AM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: She stands up, staring at the problem as she walks to the board. ...I... She looks to the teacher. ...It's umm... She looks back at the board.
[1:49:19 AM] Arbi: Mr: Hammer: He slams his ruler on the board when she looks at him to force her to keep her eyes on the problem.
Every student in the class, in an unnatural silence, stand up and all walk up behind Mandy Lane. Getting closer and closer. The equation starts to overwhelm Mandy, despite how smart she is she can't do it. She has no idea how to solve it.
Mr: Hammer: I must have been mistaken. You truly must be inept if you can't even solve a problem as easy as this.
[1:50:40 AM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: She slowly reaches for the chalk, picking it up with a trembling hand. It's... Umm...
[1:52:12 AM | Edited 1:53:14 AM] Arbi: Some of the female students start to giggle behind her making fun of her, when she turns to look at them the teacher slams his ruler on the board again.
Mr: Hammer: Pay attention, Ms. Lane. Your final grade is on the line here. Solve the problem. Everyone is waiting.
The students all walk closer to Mandy.
[1:54:12 AM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: You never taught us this. Ever. She drops the piece of chalk. I can't solve a problem that I haven't been taught.
[2:00:27 AM] Arbi: The chalk refuses to be put down, keeping her focused on the problem.
Mr. Hammer: Give up now and you'll be held back.
A student whispers how embarassing it is for Mandy to not know how to solve it.
Mr. Hammer: We're waiting, Ms. Lane.
The teachers voice and the students laughing at her Mandy echo through her mind.
Mr. Hammer: What a shame, I saw so much potential in you. His eyes erupt in fire but she can't see. Is this all you haVe tO sHow?
She can feel herself breaking, normally she would just get mad but she just feels like crying instead.
[2:01:25 AM | Edited 2:01:50 AM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: She bites her lower lip and tries to keep from crying. I... You didn't... You didn't teach this... I must've been absent.... I...
[2:01:50 AM] Arbi: The students are all standing only a foot away from Mandy. Every single one of them reach out to grab her.
[2:05:57 AM] Arbi: Isaac: He runs behind the classroom, skidding to a stop. He tries to open it but it's locked. Mandy! He bangs on the window. It's not real! It's no use, she can't hear him. He looks inside again, the students are all slowly melding together into a darkness about to envelope her.

The door explodes off it's hinges with electricity, it slams into the group of students behind Mandy, knocking them all down.
[2:06:50 AM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: She blinks and few times and looks back at Isaac, still confused. Isaac?
[2:09:10 AM] Arbi: Isaac: He raises his arms up. Get down! Very light blue blood quickly comes out from his arms, all coming together to summon a demon.
[2:09:59 AM] Arbi: Mr. Hammer: He raises his firey ruler about to strike Mandy down.
[2:10:17 AM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: She quickly realizes what he's doing and ducks down, rolling into a ball with her arms over her head.
[2:14:28 AM] Arbi: Isaac: He pushes his hand forward and launches the discolored bloody demon at the teacher. He reaches forward and grabs the barbed wire. the bloody demon whips at the teacher's body, latching onto his skin long enough for one of Isaac's arcs of electricity to travel down the barbed wire and electricute him. The blood explodes and knocks the teacher down.
[2:15:21 AM] Arbi: The demonic illusion shatters and both of them are suddenly back in the dungeon. Ricky is on the ground where the teacher was and the jocks are all on the floor around them.
[2:18:44 AM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: She stands up, the right half of her is covered in splatters of blood, making half of her white dress red. She pulls her hair from her face, which wasn't hit and is still clean. She looks around and everything comes back to her with her expression turning from scared to angry almost immediately.
[2:19:37 AM | Edited 2:25:17 AM] Arbi: Isaac: He's hunched over a little, blood dripping from his right hand. His skin isn't demonic anymore and he looks weak. Is...is it over?
[2:20:41 AM | Edited 2:22:48 AM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: She runs over to him and grabs him. I don't know. She looks him over. Are you going to be ok? She sees his hand, lacerations cutting across it. She grabs it to get a better look at it. Shit, Isaac. She pulls a strip of cloth off of her dress and quickly begins to bind the wound.
[2:23:38 AM] Arbi: Isaac: I...I'm really stupid. I'm sorry... He shakes his head, trying to stay awake from the pain and blood loss.
[2:25:20 AM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: She pulls him closer and kisses him deeply. It lasts a few seconds before she lets go. I told you that I needed your help in math... She smirks slightly.
[2:27:22 AM] Arbi: Isaac: He smiles weakly. I must be... the luckiest guy in the world... His winces from the pain and he looks down, too weak to keep his head up.
[2:29:48 AM | Edited 2:31:09 AM] Arbi: Ricky: The most popular girl in school...dating the biggest loser I've ever seen. He starts laughing to himself as he slowly stands up, he looks like normal human Ricky again.
[2:31:11 AM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: She looks from Isaac, still holding him close, Anyone who thinks high school popularity matters is pathetic. Especially some demon, or whatever the hell you're supposed to be.
[2:34:08 AM | Edited 2:34:44 AM] Arbi: Ricky: Teenagers...they're so easy to control. That's why I chose to start from there... He keeps laughing. Look how easy it was. LET. ME. SHOW. YOU. The dungeon is ripped apart in flames and replaced by the school campus. Almost every kid in school is standing around them, surrounding them, each of them with demonic fire in their eyes.
[2:38:37 AM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: Her eyes dart around the crowd, she sees Leena, some other girl from her English class, a few teachers. After a moment she sees Lucas and Yuri standing in the crowd and she turns to look at Ricky. I'm... Smoke bellows from her mouth as she speaks the next word. Unimpressed... She opens her mouth and a blast of flames tears outwards towards Ricky, she turns and arcs it across the crowd around them.
[2:47:30 AM] Arbi: Ricky is hit directly by the fire breath, the rest of the flames tear through the students but they're not actually here. Every single one of them is unaffected but they're all further away from Mandy and Isaac and more spread out.
Ricky: His burnt wooden skin is all over his body again, transforming to endure the flames. Everything except his left arm, it's the only part of his body that he hasnt changed this entire time. Illusions...I told you we were alike. Get rid of him, Mandy. We were made for each other. He points at Isaac. Look at him! He's weak. He's going to bleed outand when he's gone...you won't be able to fight me with just your illusions. He raises his left arm out to her. We'll be able to control the world you and I. Just...let him go and come to me.
[2:48:33 AM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: I don't need you. You need me. That's the difference here. She pulls Isaac away as she keeps backing up from Ricky,
[2:50:51 AM] Arbi: Ricky: You can't run. Stop fighting me. You know how this is all going to end, Mandy. He raises his hand out again. You don't have a choice anymore...
[2:55:32 AM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: She gets angry. I always have a choice. She sees that his arm isn't changing like the rest of him. She looks at Isaac, I have to set you down, alright? She kneels down and starts to lay Isaac on the ground.
[2:56:25 AM] Arbi: Isaac: He lets her set him on the floor, although he's losing conciousness and can't respond.
[2:56:59 AM | Edited 3:01:06 AM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: Stay awake. You have to stay awake ok? She shakes him. Promise me you'll stay awake.
[2:58:52 AM] Arbi: Isaac: Her voice keeps him awake. He weakly whispers. I promise... He reaches down and holds the cloth against his bleeding hand.
[3:00:36 AM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: She stands up and turns to look at Ricky. She takes a few steps towards him, she reaches out to him and gulps. ...I'll stay with you, if you let Isaac live.
[3:07:25 AM | Edited 3:09:43 AM] Arbi: Ricky: He laughs while grinning. If I let Isaac live...you must make a pact with me. Banish that other demon and let me control you, Mandy Lane. It's the only way to save him...he doesn't have that much time left. Don't think, just do as I say. Give me...your hand. He keeps his hand steady, staring at hers.
[3:09:46 AM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: She reaches out to him. I... Her hand gets closer and closer until she steps forwards quickly and grabs it at the wrist. She turns dark and shadowy as her eyes deepen to emerald. Don't think so. The shadow envelopes her body and she grabs his arm with her other hand. The abyssal armor pushes against him, slowly crushing his arm in her grasp.
[3:13:51 AM | Edited 3:17:49 AM] Arbi: Ricky: He struggles against it, pulling on his human hand with all his strength. When he realizes he can't pull it out he starts to panic. He slams his demonic hand into the shield, molten rock falling all over it. What are you dOiNg?! LeT gO. HE'S MIINE! He pulls harder and harder on his hand, wanting it to slide from the shadow's grasp.
[3:15:40 AM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: She the molten rock quickly begins to burn her, but she turns to slide some of it off of her and then raises her foot and presses it into his side, pushing him away as she pulls his arm.
[3:19:56 AM] Arbi: A demonic mouth rushes towards Mandy and Ricky but it starts to lose it's form before it reaches them. One of the barbed wires lashes out before it completely loses form and cuts Ricky's arm off, causing both of them to stumble back away from each other.
[3:23:16 AM] Arbi: Ricky: He stares at his missing arm and opens his mouth to yell but nothing comes out. Instead he explodes, launching burnt wooden chips in every direction. The campus shatters, the dungeon shatters and all that's left is the normal room of the house they were in. A massive bedroom full of smoke, the house being on fire.
[3:25:02 AM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: She her armor fades and she looks down at the arm. After a moment she tosses it into the flames, realizing that it's just a severed arm. She turns and runs over to Isaac. Come on Isaac! She grabs onto him and helps to pull him up.
[3:26:28 AM | Edited 3:26:57 AM] Arbi: Fireman: He busts the door down, the room across from them is full of flames but the hallway is clear. It's gonna collapse! Get out of here! He walks up and picks Isaac up.
[3:27:31 AM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: She gets to her feet and runs ahead of him, looking back at Isaac as she does. She yells to him. He cut his hand!
[3:31:39 AM] Arbi: The fireman nods and tells her to run again, following behind her. The two of them make it outside the burning house. A moment later the house starts collapsing behind them, half of the second floor falling down into the first. There are firetrucks all infront of the house with firemen manning hoses, trying to control the fire from spread. The fireman takes Isaac to an ambulance. Around them some of the other students they saw inside are watching from afar, having gotten out sooner than them. Because the demon is dead none of them are possessed anymore.
[3:34:05 AM] Omniance: Mandy Lane: She puts her hand on her forehead and watches as Isaac is put on a stretcher. She looks around at the other kids and then back to the ambulance, putting her hand to her mouth as she worries what's going to happen to him.
[3:35:18 AM] Arbi: The EMT closes the ambulance doors and it drives off down the road towards the nearest hospital.
[3:36:43 AM] Omniance: The next day at Lucas and Yuri's house...
[3:40:00 AM] Omniance: Lucas: They got home from church about a half hour ago and he's still in his nice clothes, however he's undone the buttons on his shirt a bit to be more comfortable. He's sitting at his desk on his of the room, drawing a sketch of Mandy Lane. You know, I don't think I've ever seen Mandy Lane really smile... In happiness... He tilts his head, the picture he drew of her she's just gazing off into the distance, like she's looking at something she doesn't really care for. He turns and looks at Yuri. Kinda weird.
[3:43:26 AM] Arbi: Yuri: He sitting on the window sill with the window open a bit for him to smoke his joint. He exhales a puff of smoke, having not felt calm in a long time since Odie was too possessed to give him any weed. He found someone else to deal him drugs. What are you talking about? I've seen her smile plenty of times.
[3:45:41 AM] Omniance: Lucas: Like... A happy smile, you know? Not a fake one. There's a difference- The doorbell rings and he sorta stops talking, not really pressing his point anymore as he wants to hear who is as the door. Outside Yuri notices an expensive midnight-blue Cadillac pulled up in front of the house that's parked a bit around the corner. It's the car that The Prince's bodyguard drove him and Odie to the hospital in.
[3:48:21 AM] Arbi: Yuri: Wait... He finishes his joint and puts it out. That's the Prince's car. He looks at Lucas before standing up, hopping off his bed and quickly going downstairs.
[3:48:47 AM] Omniance: Lucas: What? He quickly followers his brother out of the room.
[3:49:28 AM] Omniance: As the two of them reach the bottom of the stairs their mother is already at the front door and the Prince's bodyguard can be seen standing just outside.
[3:49:56 AM] Omniance: Clara: She turns to look back at them. You two know this man? She raises at eyebrow at the two of them.
[3:51:47 AM] Arbi: Yuri: He walks up to the door. We enrolled into sunday school. We wanted to do this to make you happy, mom. We haven't been acting...that great lately.
[3:52:15 AM] Omniance: Clara: She crosses her arms over her chest.
[3:52:55 AM | Edited 3:53:20 AM] Arbi: Yuri: Why do you think we still have our church clothes on? He walks out the door.
[3:53:39 AM] Omniance: Clara: She looks to the bodyguard and he just nods slowly. Alright, alright, I'll see you two later.
[3:54:31 AM] Omniance: Lucas: Seeya later mom. As he walks out of the house and closes the door he just shrugs in confusion, amazed that she let them go. He shuts the door behind them.
[3:55:32 AM] Omniance: About fifteen minutes later they're standing in the Prince's library. The bodyguard is standing by the door they came in, and after a brief wait the Prince walks into the room.
[3:57:36 AM] Omniance: Edward: He looks to the two of them with his pitch black eyes, and in his strange manner of stiff speech that neither of them have gotten used to, he speaks. I am calling for the favor that you two owe me.
[3:58:27 AM] Arbi: Yuri: He nods. What do you want us to do?
[4:04:02 AM] Omniance: Edward: He looks at Lucas and then turns away from them slowly walking towards one of the bookshelves that line the walls of the room. When I exorcised your friend the demon that was within him had to be placed somewhere safe. Or more accurately, within something safe. In order to achieve this I bound the demon to a specific object that would keep it from the hands of the unpracticed and vulnerable. As he reaches it he turns and looks at them, beside him there is an empty spot on the shelf. That object was a book and that book has been stolen. You two are going to find it and return it to me. He narrows his eyes. I need not explain how dangerous it is in the wrong hands, do I?
[4:07:25 AM | Edited 4:13:59 AM] Arbi: Yuri: I bet the cultists that stole your book. They summoned that demon and they know where you live too...It had to be them.
[4:15:42 AM | Edited 4:16:10 AM] Omniance: Edward: It was no Cultist. It was someone unexpected. Someone I do not personally know, someone who was untouched by the type of world we live in. I was able to track down a general area of where the book may have been taken, or the user of that book might be. The highest likelihood is that someone who frequently attends your school has taken it. He walks away from the shelf a bit. A user of Astreiya has three attributes; Green eyes, strength of will, and an affinity for night. These attributes become more noticeable the more they've utilized her power. Your task is to find my tome and return it to me.
[4:16:50 AM] Arbi: Yuri: Green eyes is kind of rare isn't it? Should be easy to narrow it down. He looks at Lucas.
[4:17:23 AM] Omniance: Lucas: He sighs slightly. Yeah... I mean, most of the people at our school are Mexican... He shrugs.
[4:17:40 AM] Omniance: Edward: I am pleased by your confidence.
[4:19:37 AM] Arbi: Yuri: We might need a few days to find it. With school and homework we don't have all the freetime in the world.
[4:20:57 AM] Omniance: Edward: Time isn't an issue. He turns away from them, walking towards his chair. Only that you locate the tome and return it... However, know that the longer it takes to recover, the more difficult your task will become. He sits down in his chair and faces away from them.
[4:22:04 AM] Arbi: Yuri: He pats Lucas on the shoulder. Let's go. He turns and walks away.
[4:23:39 AM] Omniance: Lucas: He sighs and turns away, he doesn't really like that they're being tasked with more supernatural nonsense, as their life had been pretty normal the last two weeks, on the other hand the Prince did save his best friend's life, so he'll do it without complaint. He looks to his brother as the walk out of the library. Maybe we can start with Detective Murdoc.
[4:25:52 AM] Arbi: Yuri: He looks back and yells out. We're gonna use your phone to call a cab. He turns back around. We really need a car.
