«Oldest ‹Older 3001 – 3200 of 4911 Newer› Newest»@Jai: :P Glad you think so.
Cole: I guess... But it's intense training... And he would need to stay here...I can't take him away from
His family
(@Star yeah neither do I. That's just Annabelle.)
@Jai: Mmh. :)
I think I like Cole. *nods*
Annabelle: I.. could visit?
(Cole is nice)
(You do? ^,^ Cole says thanks )
((@Chloe: :)
@Jai: :) *nods*
OMG I swear my room is magic.
Things keep going missing . . . !))
Cole: *shakes head* give copper a few years. Let him enjoy his childhood a bit more. He needs his mother, that's more important right now *takes her hands* you'll be just fine, so will i
(@Star xDDD well then..)
Annabelle: *squeezes his hands gently*
Right.. yeah. Course.
((Awwwhhh COLE.))
@Jai: Omg.
What if /I/ go missing . . . ?
!
(I think Cole has actually made me cry...)
Cole: *smiles* you have jesa to help you, and inky
(@Star O_O *attaches a tracker to you*)
Annabelle: Yeah.. Jesa isn't very good with kids..
@Jai: :) Thanks.
I found my pyjama bottoms, thoguh. I think my room is not magic. I think my bracelet is magic. *nods*
@Chloe: :( :(
(@Star hmmm.. who knows.)
Cole: she isn't ?*frowns*
@Jai: My bracelet, clearly.
Annabelle: Nah.. she tries but.. *shrugs*
Anyway, now I have discovered my pyjamas, I am going to go in the shower. Bbs. :)
(@Star true xD)
(Okay star ^.^)
Cole: I see... Well you have inky if you need help *tries to smile genuinely*
Annabelle: Shes busy..
*leaves a hug for Noelle*
*curls up*
Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.
(Not written by me, obviously.)
(*hugs kas*)
Cole: she wouldn't refuse you. She'd be happy to help you!
Annabelle: she has Ben, and Tegan, and Lilith!
(*huggles kassy*)
Cole: true but wolves are used to having many children... She doesn't have that many so helping out with two more would be no problem
Annabelle: She has three already.. five would be too much, even for her..
Cole: you have loads of friends to help you
Annabelle: What friends?
*lira and lucas collapse on the bed and hug into one another, cuddling up like they used to do when they were babies*
*their little eyes start to close and they yawn at the same time*
Jesa: Anna? Of course not...but she still has strong feelings for Cole and clearly i'm getting in the way. Perhaps i should just let them be happy and stop interupting.
Cole: you have inky, wolf, chris, Tawnee.., if you want, you and jesa could live here with the cubs...
Sil: *smiles gently at them, closing the portal behind her*
*fetches herself a drink, draining the blood bag dry*
*fetches her own first aid kit, making herself a proper sling, bandaging her legs and ankle*
*limps over to the twins*
Lira, can I see your arm a moment?
Mark: Arenr you angry? She claims to love you
Annabelle: I think Jesa would skin me alive if I even suggested it..
*is looking back at photos*
Cole; okay *tries to keep disappointment out of his voice*
Annabelle: But I'll still visit..
Cole: *smiles slightly* I'm sure she wouldn't want that
Annabelle: *sighs*
Probably not..
Cole: I don't want to interfere with your relationship, but remember, do what makes you happy
Annabelle: I will..
Lira: ok...
*rubs her eyes and sits up tiredly*
*holds out her arm*
Jesa: yeah, i am a bit angry...but more upset that she doesn't care about me as much as i thought she did...
*sighs*
Cole: *nods* good, I hope she makes you happy annabelle. You have been through hell and still standing strong. You deserve all the happiness in the world *smles*
Sil: Good girl .
*claps her hands, the red healing glow coating theM*
*carefully takes Lira's arm, healing it*
Mark: You should punish her.
Annabelle: Thanks..
*smiles*
She.. she does make me happy..
Cole; that is all I hope for
Now, how about getting you some hot chocolate *starts walking towards the stairs*
Annabelle: Sure
*follows him*
Cole: you can stay here the night *tskes her into the kitchen where people are gathering*
Annabelle: Maybe.. do you have a phone I can use?
Lira: *giggles*
It's a little tickly...
i like your magic, Auntie Sil.
*smiles*
Jesa: punish her for what, falling in love?
*stands up*
One minute.
*goes into the cottege to find inky*
Inky?
Cole; of course *picks up the wireless house phone and gives it to her*
*comes out from the living room* hello
Sil: *smiles, taking her hands away, letting the sigils fade*
Good.. are you two hungry? Maybe a sandwich?
Mark: *frowns*
Annabelle: Thanks..
*calls inky's house phone*
(I have returned! Sorry, I was taken away to eat food with my loving family. Oh the hardship.)
(Hey trip.)
*just then their stomachs rumble and they nod quickly*
Yes please!
Jesa: inky, do you know why Cole left in such a hurry?
One minute! *picks up the phone* hello ?
(Hey trip !)
(Hey guysh! What did I miss?)
Liliana: *she gently sucks on the skin of her neck*
Parasite: *she looks innocently at him* And I, after all, am just a poor little child. *she grins* Why do you not have a go at corrupting me?
Bethany: Being... honest, I do not especially mind if Claire doesn't respect me.
Elizabeth: Lily, which direction?
Lily: ... *she points forwards* That direction...
Ember: Well, at least we know where we're heading.
*shakes head at jesa*
(O.o you take like 3 hours to eat food?? Wow.
welcome back ;)
Sil: Okay. What would you like in your sandwiches?
Annabelle: Hey.. is Jes there?
Hello, Trip.
Just managed to go in the shower without getting distracted and skin picking.
This does not normally happen.
That Allomantic vial necklace will be MINE, mortals!
*cackles*
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm if you had the choice, which Allomantic metal would you choose to be able to burn?
Iron - allows you to mentally Pull metals towards you
Steel - allows you to mentaly Push metals away from you
Tin - increases the sensitivity and capability of your senses (hearing, seeing, smelling etc) (all are increased at the same time - you can't pick)
Pewter - increases physical strength, speed and endurance, plus enhances your body's ability to heal
Zinc - allows you to increase the emotions of people nearby. Yes, you can do it for just individual people, and for individual emotions (although you need a lot of practise)
Brass - allows you to decrease the emotions of people nearby. Same as above
Copper - allows you to put a 'cloud' over yourself and, if you choose, the area around you; within this 'cloud,' people cannot detect the use of Allomancy
Bronze - allows you to detect the Allomancy of others (unless they're burning copper)
Chromium - if you burn this while touching another Allomancer, it will cause all the metals inside that Allomancer to disappear, meaning they cannot use their powers unless they ingest more metal
Nicrosil - if you burn this while touching another Allomancer, it will cause all their metals to be used up very quickly, meaning they will have an enourmas burst of power and then run out of metal
Aluminium - if you burn this metal, it will cause all the metals inside you to disappear, meaning you can't use your powers unless you ingest more metal (uh . . . this one's pretty useless XD)
Duralium - if you burn this metal, it will cause all your metals to be used up very quickly, meaing you will have an enourmas burst of power and then run out of metal (uh . . . this one is also pretty useless, unless you're a Mistborn)
Cadmium - creates a 'bubble' around you - within this 'bubble,' time will move at a massively increased pace (from your perspective, the world will slow down around you, leaving you time to do stuff in this bubble without anyone outside the bubble being able to react until the bubble is dropped)
Cerrobend - creates a 'bubble' around you - within this 'bubble,' time will move at a massively increased pace (from your perspective, everyone outside the bubble will be whizzing around really fast)
Gold - allows you to see a vision of possible other lives you could have led adn different paths you could have taken
Electrum - allows you to see a vision of possible other lives you could take in the future (usually limited to a few seconds)
Atium - allows you to see actions just before they happen and exhances your mind so you have the ability to react to them
You don't have to answer. :P
Onwa: *moans quietly, smiling*
James: Mmm.. didn't last night do it?
*rolls eyes*
Oh Anna! Yes, jesa is here *hands jesa the phone*
Jesa: *frowns then nods and walks back outside and sits back down next to Mark*
(Our RP, Trip.)
[Sneezes]
[Sighs]
(@Star pewter or atium..)
Morgan: *nods, and begins to walk in that direction*
*starts healing his hand*
(Star, given what I already know about Mistborn, Steel would possibly be what I would consider the most useful, for both projectiles and navigation. It also seems... relatively simple in comparison with the others.)
(*hugs moss*)
Annabelle: Jes?
Jesa? *calls out* it's Anna
(Tin. Definately tin.)
(Hey Fabu)
(Indeed, Chione. Just a sec.)
@Jai: :)
Yeah.
I want to buy steel, but that's possibly just because Wax burns steel. XD And Wax is COOL when he burns steel.
Also, because when you burn steel, you can practically fly. You can't get that with any other metal.
Atium is pretty damn powerful, but it's also pretty damn expensive (in Vin's time, the economy was pretty much run of it), and I think it burns fairly fast. In Wax's time it's died out. :/
I can't remember whether pewter burns quickly or slowly. :S I think it might be quickly, because I think tin burns slowly . . .
@Trip: :) :)
@Sophia: XD Yeah.
Most people who haven't read Mistborn wouldn't think steel would be as useful as it is, tbh.
*frowns*
*gets up and goes to the phone*
Hey...
Twins: um. Cheese and ham!
Hi people! I think I may be here for a bit
Annabelle: Jes? I'm sorry for leaving so quickly. Coles dad.. he.. he's passed away.
Sil: *smiles*
Cheese and ham it is, okay.
*goes to her small kitchen, preparing two cheese and ham sandwiches, removing the crusts (doing all the one handed is hard!*
*carries them in on one tray, setting it down in front of the twins, still limping*
*smiles*
There we go..
(Hey and.)
:) Hey Andviolet!
(Hi vi !)
Cole: *busies himself by making hotchocolate
Hey Jai and Star and Chloe! *huggles* How be all of you?
*Trip checks his watch*
The sensetive will be here soon. Make any nefarious preparations you might need to.
(I be tired *huggles*)
Jesa: *silently curses herself*
Ah. I'm sorry to hear that. I guess you're staying with him then?
The twins: thank you auntie sil!
*they dig in and are done in no time*
Yum.
Herrow Anioviolet!
(Watching the making of jackass 2
This guy flew a kite out of his butt using anal beads O.o)
(Hullo. Not sure I'm really here. But hi. How are you all?)
@Andviolet: :) I'm good, thanks! Obsessing over Brandon Sanderson books again, which is usual for me, haha. You? :)
Hey Lantern! :) :)
(*Huggles* I'm okay, you?)
Annabelle: Just for tonight, I should be back tomorrow.. can you look after Copper and Belle while I'm here?
Sil: *smiles, taking the tray back to the kitchen*
Okay, sleepy time.. do you mind sharing a bed for one night?
Hi Gemma, hi Trip :) *hugs*
(Hey moss!)
(I'm as good as always, thanks.)
(How are you, Andioviolet?)
Jai: good :)
Star: obsessing is always fun
Chloe: hm, that's quite interesting...
I'm pretty good. On vacation. Fun stuff to do and really pretty scenery. Can't say I'm doing bad :)
@Andviolet: Obsessing IS fun, but I have a feeling the people I interact with tire of it slightly. :P
:) :) Vacation is yay. :)
Sorry for late comments, wifi is not good in mountains
(Jackass is nuts)
(I'm off to bed now
Nos da!)
Star: psh, don't let sane non-obsessive people spoil your fun :)
(Oh those darnded mountains.)
Nos da Chloe
(Nos DA!)
(Steel seems to be possibly the one that I would get the most use out of. It may not be the most powerful, but it is the most versatile, I believe.)
Liliana: *she sinks her fangs into Onwa's neck*
Parasite: Not enough.
Bethany: ... I'm sorry?
Ember: *she follows Morgan*
Elizabeth: *she helps Lily to her feet, supporting her gently as she follows Morgan and Ember*
Lily: *she smiles her thanks, continuing to hold her head*
Trip: eh, it makes up for it in how beautiful nature is. It is SO pretty here. Kinda sad I only get two days here though :(
But fun shall be had while I'm here!
Onwa: *shivers, moaning loudly*
James: Hmm.. *smirks*
It's fine *smiles*
(Hello andviolet)
Hecate: like what?
(Sleep well Inkles!)
There's a bicycle in the pond.
Stupid polluters...
@Andviolet: :P :P
@Sophia: Mmh. Having just read The Alloy of Law for the second time, I would say steel can be pretty damn powerful, particularly since most bullets are made out of metal.
Wax is also a Feruchemist, though, and his Feruchemical power is that he can store his weight in his metalminds for later use. Being able to change your weight is pretty damn useful when you're a steel Misting.
@Andviolet: :P Those sane non-obsessed people are my friends and my only company. I'd rather not scare them off. XD
(Then again, if they were scared off by obsession, they wouldn't have made it to friendshiphood with me. XD)
Right, well, I think I may have to get up at some ridiclously early time tomorrow morning, so goodbye. :) :)
(Bye Chloe!)
Jesa: *tenses*
*tries to sound happy and calm*
Of course...where are they?
The twins: *shakes their heads*
Course not auntie sil. Where will you sleep?
(Hi fabi.
Yeah...that disgusts me, seeing things like that too.)
There's a golden duck, though. not sure what kind, but it's pretty. I can't get a good photo though. :-(
What
Good night, Chloe.
Hello, Andviolet and Trip.
Annabelle: There's a small cave next door to yours with a small hole linking them. They're there.
Sil: Auntie Sil's having a shower, she doesn't need sleep. Its fine.
You know, carve satanic sigils into your flesh, try and kill me to wear my skin?
*the door begins to make clunking noises, the sensetive arriving*
Oh well, too late.
Well, on the bright side, you may not get convicted.
(Hey Kas. How's stuff?)
Morgan: *looks back, then, seeing Lily is being helped, turns around again, focusing on feeling for Minerve's power*
*sighs as he feels blood tickle out of his nose, reaching to wipe it away*
*stops healing his hand, hoping his nosebleed doesn't generate into a large-scale bleeding attack*
Awful, Trip. How are you?
(Really good. What's wrong?)
Disappeared for a bit. Family needed to borrow my scissors. They know I can be counted on to always have scissors on a vacation ;)
Hi Kas
Star: Exactly ;) most of my friends are obsessive as well, but then like my best friend is all sane, and it freaks all of us out. But we still stay :3
Bye everybody. That was rather brief, but... Family and mountains and stuff calls :)
Hopefully talk to you all soon *huggles everybody*
Lots and lots of stuff, Trip.
I dedicate this page to those days when you can just sit, relax and maybe RP with your friends.
Unfortunately, I haven't got any of those. :-(
I also dedicate this page to art, of all kinds. To stories, ideas, characters, and people.
@Violet What is this "sane" thing, anyway?
Hey, Fabi. Hear hear!
Kas: eh, just my word for people who don't get obsessed with things. I don't understand such people...
Bye for real now
I see. See you later!
(Hear hear)
Hecate: why the hell would i want to wear your skin?
*doesn't move when the sensative comes in*
The twins: ok auntie sil, Goodnight.
*and within seconds they're fast asleep in each others arms*
Jesa: yeah, alright...
guess i'll see you tomorrow...
Liliana: *she starts to lap up the blood*
Parasite: Please?
Bethany: Respect just... isn't that important to me.
Ember: Hey, save your strength, Morgan. Lily can help us find Minerve for now. You just need to start when we get closer.
(Hear hear!)
Sil: *smiles at them both*
*makes sure all her defences are activated before going for a shower, taking some healing supplies with her*
Annabelle: I love you.
Onwa: Mmm.. *grins*
James: Hmm.. beg.
Okay..
Liliana: Your blood does taste nice, do you know that?
Parasite: *she tilts her head* Really, so soon? Mmm... I suppose it is worth it...
Bethany: ... Not that I don't respect you, because I respect you both... But I don't think it's a necessity?
Found lovely shady spot near water. :-)
Wbd/msd
Jesa: *pauses for moment*
I love you too. Goodnight.
*hangs up*
Thanks inky.
*puts the phone back and runs out of the house trying not to cry because she's the strong one, the cruel one.*
*runs back to her cave and sees the smaller one beside it*
*changes into a wolf and pads through*
*sees belle and copper*
*pauses at the entrance*
Onwa: I can't say I've tried it before.
James: *smirks*
If you want it, beg.
*nods and kisses her gently* I understand.
Belle: *is curled up, asleep*
Copper: *is in his wolf form, sat in the corner, batting sadly at a rock, whining*
Jesa: *pads over to Copper and rubs her face against him*
*sits next to him, watching him*
Liliana: *she grins* You should.
Parasite: Please?
Bethany: *she kisses her back* Good... Kisses tingle my lips after you've been eating the meat... not that it hurts much because the meat must have missed or been licked away or something... It just tingles.
Copper: *looks at Jesa*
*crawls closer to her, cuddling into her fur*
Onwa: Mm.. Maybe.
James: please what?
Oh, sorry..
(Sorry for poofing again, back now.)
Well, it's pretty handsome skin, don't you know. Also, you could use it to escape, or something. They're your nefarious schemes, not mine!
*an old looking man walks in and greet Trip, who ushers him back into the corridor where they have a hushed conversation*
Jesa: *smiles slightly as a wolf*
*curls up next to copper and nuzzles him*
Hecate: *sits looking bored and stifles a yawn*
*the old man returns with Trip at his heel*
Now, Hectate, do we have to tie you to a chair?
*sighs* I'll probably go now. Not that you'll notice anyway.
Yep, won't even register it. Bye.
Liliana: Would you like to try some now?
Parasite: *she sighs* Please could we have sex?
Bethany: It's fine, it feels kind of funny.
Copper: *nuzzles back, laying down*
Onwa: Mm.. yes.
James: Good girl.
*smirks, kissing her passionately, pushing her back onto the sand gently*
Funny?
Jesa: *falls asleep beside him*
Hecate: probably.
(Bye Kassy...)
Good, because these nice cleavers were going to do it anyway. *three cleavers walk in, one with a chair, another with chains and another to pick up Hectate*
*pretty soon she's all tied up and the old man walks in front of her and places his hand on her forehead*
*As the world bleeds away, Hectate can hear Trip chuckle and mutter "I don't have a warrant, this is so freakin' illegal..."*
Liliana: *she runs her finger through the blood, holding it out to Onwa*
Parasite: *she kisses him passionately back* (Time skip, Jaimie?)
Bethany: If you run your finger over your lips it tickles... It feels a lot like that.
Hecate: *loses a tiny bit of her wall of confidence as no one has sver been in her head before apart from Chione and Blake*
*curses Trip*
*tries to struggle*
*as the man talks it seems almost like Hectate is simply thinking his words herself, but she isn't, is she?*
Oldmun: Hello. There's no use struggling, it just makes this easier. *Hectate's power begins to ebb away, seeping into Chione*
Back.
My neighbors are setting off fireworks already...(?!)
Fabi, do you want to roleplay (if you're still there)?
Ok, sure. Where were we, exactly?
Rozzy, André and Carter thought about maybe going back to Carey's office while she wasn't there.
They might also try talking to some of Fabi's friends, though, if you would rather RP that.
Well, I'd like them to try and recruit Effie at some point.
(Alright.)
Rozzy: I'm disappointed that Carey wasn't willing to help us. It'd be kind of nice to have a larger team.
Carter: Yeah, maybe a team with more people who actually know Fabi?
Rozzy: You're the only one of us who doesn't, but whatever. *she pulls out her smart phone and finds a file she made on Fabi* Ami Laurel-Sang, Liz Herald, Ophelia Double-slash-Effrancia Devastine-slash-Brenna Ninjeranium. That's kind of a lot of names. Sounds like someone who'd know stuff. (To Andre) Thoughts?
Hecate: You're taking my powers!? You can't do that! Let me go!!!!
*power explodes from her body, knocking everyone back*
(Guess Trip poofed but so did i so it's fine. I'm really tired so i'm going to sleep. Goodnight Fabi, rosalind.)
André: I don't know most of her magical friends. I met some of them once, but the only name I vaguely remember is Aretha somebody, the others I'd have to see to recognize. I do know Liz, though, of course, and I have heard her talk about this Effie person with the lots of names.
((Goodnight, Chione, sleep well.))
(Night, Chione.)
Rozzy: Oh, yeah, Liz is Cami, right? One of us can text her. We should probably try to find Effie, though.
(Is it ok if Carter and Effie have met? It'd make things a bit easier)
André: Yeah, I'll text her.
((Sure. Effie's met a lot of people. I think André might have met Effie as well, but I don't remember, so he doesn't remember.))
*Yeah, I'll text Cami.
Carter: Wait, did you say Effie Devastine? We worked together on a missing person case once. I should have her business card somewhere.
Rozzy: Really? Cool. *She pauses* André, if Mireille is Fabi and Camille is Liz, are you the only one in your family who isn't a mage?
The spider
She, once threatened, curls
Into a writhing ball
The cocoon of safety protects
Her from danger.
Always she retracts prematurely
Always in the face of danger
To make sure that she isn't hurt
For when the onslaught comes.
:/ it's so lonely... I over ate today- even though I tried to think about eating, and give myself permission, I lost control again, and now have a heavy stomach. And I feel just so... Guilty, and I want nothing but to purge myself- but I have tried before, and I am unable to make myself throw up. I could be a sword swallower with how far I can shove my hand down my throat. But... I still can't.
I've decided to plan my meals the day before, so that I can think straight. Tomorrow I'm allowed a salad for lunch, and breakfast and dinner are to be six strawberries each. Perhaps that will give me control.. I really need to work harder at it, because I'm just so ashamed..
I need to be thin. And pretty. Because thin IS pretty. Thin legs and a thin tummy.. Preferably smaller breasts too.
Just
I need to be tiny...
Because right now all the trendy clothes don't fit on me from Forever 21
And I feel uncomfortable in my own skin.
:/
My goal is 122... That's what I need- to make myself feel pretty. I'm eighteen pounds away- and last year I was at 164. So I can do it- I just a need to break 135, and then it will become easier.
I just
I'm so upset with myself.
I don't think my mom knows about my eating disorder yet... But I don't know if it will surprise her.
...
I
I need to leave
André: No, both of our parents age normally, and same with most of the relatives I've met. I think there's a little bit of an aptitude in the family, on mother's side, but it isn't particularly strong in me. I'll admit, though, I stopped trying quite some time ago. I've got a farm and a family, and while magic would be cool, it's not cool enough to risk endangering either. In fact, as soon as I know my sister is safe, I'm going back to a normal, mortal life.
[hugs Noelle]
You are really pretty, though. I'm sorry that eating makes you feel like that.
(I wish you the best of luck feeling comfortable in your own skin, Noelle.)
Rozzy: I suppose I can respect that. Your kid is super sweet. If you'd rather go back to the farm, it's alright. I'll get Cam--Liz to help, and maybe this Effie person, and maybe some others, too. We will find her, and we'll stop her from destroying anything or anyone, or herself.
André: I'll talk to Liz about it... Carter, did you find the business card?
Carter: Here it is! She's most likely to be found at her building in Dublin. We should probably go there and talk to her in person.
André: Okay, let's go. Do we have any kind of magical transportation, or shall I book a flight?
Rozzy: I could try making a few phone calls, but I'm not sure I can get anyone who can help. A flight might be better.
(Time skip so we don't have to deal with boring transportation details?)
((Yeah, sure.))
[They're at a creepy-looking building with a mossy roof]
[Andre stops at the door]
Should I knock?
Rozzy: Yeah, knock and then take several quick steps backward. There might be a trap of some kind.
Carter: *Gulps* Right. Traps. Can I wait outside.
Rozzy: No.
André: [Knocks, then does as told, narrowly missing being hit by an anvil] What is this place?
Effie: [From a window to the left] It's my place, that's what kind. Who are you, exactly?
Rozzy: I'm Rosalind Amelie Laurel Shawn Huntingdon Hawthorne-Smith Turner. This is Fabi's brother, who currently doesn't have a taken name, but occasionally goes by Cory in magical circles. This is Carter, he's a tracker. We're trying to find Fabi, and we need your help.
Effie: Well, why didn't you say so?! Come in, come in. I'll disable the traps.
Rozzy: Um, I did say so.
Effie: [Opens the door] Sure you did, sure you did. What are you waiting for? You won't be hit by an anvil, probably. Don't worry!
André: [Looks at Rozzy] Um, ladies first?
[Effie leads them past several coat racks, mannequins, and mirrors to a small table that had been set for tea for four]
Effie: So what's this about Fabi being missing? I thought she was staying with Ami in the Sanctuary.
Rozzy: Is she? That would make this so much easier...
Effie: I'll call and see.
[Goes to the telephone and dials a number]
Hello, may I please speak to Dr. Laurel-Sang? What? How? No, I had no idea! Well, thank you for telling me. Goodbye.
[She puts the phone back]
Apparently, Fabi lost control, turned Ami into a statue, and ran. She's not there now.
André: Oh... Oh! That's terrible!
Rozzy: Oh my! [Quickly composes herself] Carter, do you think that would be enough to track her with? She had to have used a lot of magic...
Effie: Oh, yeah, Carter. We've met, haven't we?
Carter: I think so. It depends on how much time passed, and if the Sanctuary mages tried to turn her back,
Rozzy: Well, it's the best lead we've got. Let's go. Effie, are you in?
Carter: Yeah, we worked together briefly on the Fitzrandolph case.
