Alexis: *appears from behind Coco* I'm here...*sess Daddy* Daddy!!! *is excited* Oh and congrats Coco! I heard about you and Ari..*wants to go by Daddy* Can I go by him? Please??? Javier: *sees Alexis and smiles* Alexis...
Javier is watching from a respectful distance, where he will stay until we can be certain of his sanity. Do you still need me to heal you, or is whatever Adra did good enough?
I'd just like to say that we ought to be more careful with getting hurt you guys.. I don't think we should just use Niccolo all the time as a back up medic... It's wasteful and it spoils us
Apologies, Adra- I was attempting to prevent both Death and Zafira from further injuring themselves. And there is nothing I would like to drink, though I thank you for the offer.
Javier: I know I wish I could explain but I will when she's well enough *nods* right Coco I will and thank you again Alexis: I not ignoring you Adra I just am staying by Coco in case Daddy goes mental
I have slighted both Adra and Death, it would seem.
Javier, I care not what you think of me. I would advise you not to attempt to kill me, however. On a different day I might request it of you, but for the moment I have demons to deal with.
*warns* Javier you try and I will throw umyour energy so far off balance you won't know which was is up, rendering your magic useless. Now shut up and stand still. *concentrates, feeling his energy inside of him, picking through it bit by bit*
Good boy. *pats his head* *tests his cranial energy- where all the tension is, in his brain and his head. She begins to unstrung it, straightening it out, only to have it squish back into place*
Javier, if you would stop thinking so loud, it's annoying
*punches Javier hard in the face* Shut up. I'm really sick of you. The next one is aimed at your jaw- that'll knock you right out. Honestly I think you should just do as you're told- we have absolutely no reason to trust you, and issuing threats won't help your case.
Javier: *grabs Aretha's wrist* dont you dare Aretha and Adra I really am not understanding what you are doing to me *focuses on Adra out of instinct* oh crap
*easily pulls wrist away from Javier* You are really, really lucky that Adra can't concentrate when I punch you. *sighs* I'm having a talk with you after she's done.
*grabs Javier's head, and throws her energy at him, cramming it into his body, then withdrawling as his energy is swirled and fractured, and she flips him over her shoulder, pinning him on his stomach, holding his arm behind him*
Javier, what the heck do you have against Niccolo? All he did- literally- was save your wife and child multiple times from death by your hand. What could you possibly have to hate him for?
He killed you because you were trying to kill your own freaking wife and child!!! What the-*takes deep breath* Nope. Ok. I am just so sick of you. I... *meets his eyes with an incredulous expression* Wouldn't you rather die than kill your own family?
*grabs Javier's hand, still keeping him off balance* Right. You're coming with me. *waves to the others, drawing and jumping into a portal with Javier to a temple at the base of a mountain, and begins to work her energy, using the earth's energy*
*takes one more deep breath, then turns to Death and smiles sadly* Sorry. There are some memories that I never really learned to cope with... *forces a light laugh*
Wouldn't somebody have noticed if he had been possessed? And, I mean, he seemed to remember everything he had done before- Niccolo told him not being near you guys was the consequence for his actions, and he seemed to understand that perfectly well. And when we were all saying we couldn't trust him. And he remembers Niccolo killing him. I don't really get it, actually...
*raises and eyebrow in inquiry* You couldn't tell? *does a dainty twirl* The black dress, pale blue eyes? *her skin begins to darken, and her hair grows short as her whole form changes into-Aretha* *dramatically puts the back of her hand to her head* Oh! Oh! My deepest desire is to see her be happy! Oh! *clasps her hands together* Niccolo, darling! Save me!
There are a lot of people around here who rarely feel happiness. I guess at this point you can call it an occupational hazard. At least you've had plenty of happiness in your life, right? I mean, you got married, had a daughter... It really wasn't so bad until all of this happened, right? You'll get through it.
*pouts, her original form melts back* I take offense to that, Zafira. I can just as easily bring your charming true name back, you know. But alas, what fun would that be?
Ari do you KNOW what I dealt with? I lost Javier and now I like Coco and he's bloody taken so yeah i give up honestly i just rather die and be happy dead.
Aretha does not mean to belittle your pain, Zafira- only to remind you of the happiness you have been fortunate enough to feel, and assure you that even though some terrible things have happened, you can still feel happiness. She means to comfort you, not to upset you further.
*glances wearily at Saccharine* So what are you, and why are you here?
*speaks gravely* Do you know what I've dealt with? I lost my whole family and the closest friend I had, all in one night- and I killed them all myself. Within a week the only friend I had left was dead because of me, and the last close friend that I had died shortly after while trying to save me. We've all had our share of pain. I'm telling you that it will get better.
Coco I really just lost it I dunno what to do! *is upset* I just I rather just be dead at this time (eers okay this isnt helpful where is Adra she has Javier and i cant do anything)
*bursts out laughing with her own joke* Ah, Mr. Croatoan. You're famous, you know. Amongst humans, you're one of the most destructive. It's a shame you die, soon! *pauses* oops! Spoilers...
You had so much potential. *tuts* I preferred that Alastair bloke over you, though. I don't think you realise how easily it would be to bring him out...
Alastair. Torturer of the Underworld. At least he was, until a few millennia ago...
What makes you think that you scare me? *pauses* I appear to have issues with my physical form presently. Take offense if I don't answer back immediately
*grins* Well, I was here to deliver a message, but I was interrupted by Miss Hothead losing her temper yet again. I find learning more about my opponent to be much more gratifying
You know, Miss Rose, I don't recall you acting so around Alastair Cruciatus. In fact you seemed rather infatuated by him. What makes him any different than me?
I dedicate this page to Niccolo and Aretha...I guess you're both happy so yay. I ded to Coco eventually returning one of my hugs. And to Javier being okay. And uh to idk

Alexis: *appears from behind Coco* I'm here...*sess Daddy* Daddy!!! *is excited* Oh and congrats Coco! I heard about you and Ari..*wants to go by Daddy* Can I go by him? Please???
Javier: *sees Alexis and smiles* Alexis...
*doesnt move but is watching Adra*
Alexis, it is not safe to go near him just yet. Be patient.
#ChaseForBook9
*looks her in the eye* First.. Is there anything wrong? It is your energy, right?
Alexis: I stay by Coco! *stays close to him* I wanna see Daddy though
*shakes head yes* *speaks pretty quietly* It takes the power of a true name
No, Zaf.
Alexis: LET GO OF ME DEATH!!!! *struggles free and goes by Niccolo* I do not need to be picked up! I'll wait!
*frowns* the warrior's energy... I do believe that was his true name... He had possession of it. Technically it is a true name
*still really quiet* Coco? He...49? Or 50?
Ah... Thank you all, I suppose... The condition is that we both live, so we have to manage that first, but I do not intend for either of us to die.
#ChaseForBook9
Alexis: Coco...I am happy for you and I think maybe you should question Daddy...we dont know how sane he is yet and I know he would listen to you
I know one of my names. I have 49 of them. What exactly do you mean when you say you need the power of a true name?
#ChaseForBook9
If you die, Nic, I will kill you.
If ARETHA dies, I'll kill her.
Plain and simple.
*injects Zaf with the shot and places the shard onto her forehead where it sunk and was absorbed*
When I did this before...I harnessed Justaria's power and healed myself but I will not let Justaria...out...*is speaking still quiet*
*it manages to make Zaf able to speak and sit up*
Death, kindly refrain from doing anything reckless. I believe I can handle this full well on my own. In fact, Adra may have just handled it.
#ChaseForBook9
Alexis: *stays by Coco grinning*
Where is Javier...
Death...
#ChaseForBook9
Zaf, you need to rest.
Javier is watching from a respectful distance, where he will stay until we can be certain of his sanity. Do you still need me to heal you, or is whatever Adra did good enough?
#ChaseForBook9
I just want...*sighs* is he sane?
We cannot be certain of that yet. Until we are, he will stay where he is.
#ChaseForBook9
*nods* need a drink?
[Decides that you will probably ignore me if I say that experimenting on yourself is a bad idea]
[hugs]
[disappears again]
#ChaseForBook9
I need your help still Coco and maybe you can question him? He would listen to you
*lays hand on Zafira's shoulder and heals* Questions are not sufficient. I will look inside his mind once I have finished with you.
#ChaseForBook9
Death, if you continue that, I will rid you of your vision.
#ChaseForBook9
Thank you...*smiles slightly* I know I like you but...comgrats to you and Ari and maybe one day you'll learn to hug me back!
Right. *goes to retrieve a glass of water*
Because not all drinks are alcohol, believe it or not
I'd just like to say that we ought to be more careful with getting hurt you guys.. I don't think we should just use Niccolo all the time as a back up medic... It's wasteful and it spoils us
I can heal myself usually i just used way too much energy *glances at leg* ooh yay it did heal! Yay!
*Death's vision goes black* I told you I would. The last thing we need right now is more injury.
#ChaseForBook9
Javier: grrr I hate not seeing my family i want to hold my daugjter
*rolls her eyes, taking her red wine and walking on* right. Everyone ignore me then
That is entirely your own fault, Javier. Consider yourself lucky to be alive within a 50 foot radius of them.
*finishes healing Zafira* There. You ought to rest for a while.
#ChaseForBook9
Apologies, Adra- I was attempting to prevent both Death and Zafira from further injuring themselves. And there is nothing I would like to drink, though I thank you for the offer.
#ChaseForBook9
Javier: I know I wish I could explain but I will when she's well enough
*nods* right Coco I will and thank you again
Alexis: I not ignoring you Adra I just am staying by Coco in case Daddy goes mental
*nods* not like I have, you know, anything important to say or anything
Adra I can say you can help I probably can be moved if you want me to...I dont mind whiskey
[hugs Death]
[isn't really here]
#ChaseForBook9
*frowns* where would I move you, though?
Death, I thought you were talking to Nic. I'm sorry for my misinterpretation
*sighs and closes eyes* I would like to sincerely apologize to everyone I have slighted.
#ChaseForBook9
Or rather, Zaf OR Nic.
Death, please do not feel pressured to leave.
#ChaseForBook9
Adra never mind I should stay *glances at Coco* Coco what do you mean? Who have you slighted?
Javier: i still want to kill you Croatoan
I have slighted both Adra and Death, it would seem.
Javier, I care not what you think of me. I would advise you not to attempt to kill me, however. On a different day I might request it of you, but for the moment I have demons to deal with.
#ChaseForBook9
Be quiet, Javier.
*walks over to him, putting a hand on his forehead* Don't move.
Javier: *a cruel smile plays on lips* should I use my magic on you Croatoan?
Javier dont you dare leave him the hell alone
*warns* Javier you try and I will throw umyour energy so far off balance you won't know which was is up, rendering your magic useless. Now shut up and stand still.
*concentrates, feeling his energy inside of him, picking through it bit by bit*
Javier: what the hell are you doing?!
Telling you to be quiet.
*goes through more of his energy, which seems to be unharmed by the transition. For now.*
*runs in* Javier, if you lay one finger on Niccolo I'll send you right back to your grave. *glares* Do not doubt me.
#ChaseForBook9
Javier: *is quiet glaring at Niccolo*
Javier: watch me dear Aretha watch me
*gets up and has shadows in hand* leave him alone Javier
Good boy. *pats his head*
*tests his cranial energy- where all the tension is, in his brain and his head. She begins to unstrung it, straightening it out, only to have it squish back into place*
Javier, if you would stop thinking so loud, it's annoying
*punches Javier hard in the face* Shut up. I'm really sick of you. The next one is aimed at your jaw- that'll knock you right out. Honestly I think you should just do as you're told- we have absolutely no reason to trust you, and issuing threats won't help your case.
#ChaseForBook9
*frowns* Aretha, I know he's a dick but the violence is breaking my concentration
(Ten minutes)
Right. *walks over next to Niccolo* Sorry.
#ChaseForBook9
Javier: *grabs Aretha's wrist* dont you dare Aretha and Adra I really am not understanding what you are doing to me *focuses on Adra out of instinct* oh crap
Death, are you still here? *hugs whether or not she is here because I'm magical like that*
#ChaseForBook9
*easily pulls wrist away from Javier* You are really, really lucky that Adra can't concentrate when I punch you. *sighs* I'm having a talk with you after she's done.
#ChaseForBook9
[Silver binding snake streaks out of nowhere and onto Javier's wrist]
#ChaseForBook9
*grabs Javier's head, and throws her energy at him, cramming it into his body, then withdrawling as his energy is swirled and fractured, and she flips him over her shoulder, pinning him on his stomach, holding his arm behind him*
Don't you even dare
There has to be a way for us to reverse what happened to him...*is upset* i brought him back in hope he'd be better
Javier: gaaah fine!!! *manages to stop using magic on Aretha* do what you want Adra I just want my wife
*frowns* don't move. Move and I'll break your arm
Yeah, sorry Zaf, he still seems pretty violent to me.
#ChaseForBook9
((Wait... /is/ Javier better?))
((If this is him when he's normal... 0.0))
#ChaseForBook9
I just wish he was better! I dare not ask Coco for help again he's done so much already...
(Somewhat he has controlled his anger towards family and friends but he cant control himself around Niccolo at all)
Javier, what the heck do you have against Niccolo? All he did- literally- was save your wife and child multiple times from death by your hand. What could you possibly have to hate him for?
#ChaseForBook9
*concentrates again* I could try therapy of rebuilding his mind... It would take a while, but...
I would be perfectly alright with attempting to reverse whatever is causing this madness in him as well if your method does not work, Adra.
#ChaseForBook9
Javier: He killed me. I do not take kindly to that.
Adra between any of you if anyone here can help him then do it please...I thought he'd be better
*nods*
Yeah...
Do you mind if I take him away from all this action for a bit, put him under?
I don't mind Adra do what you need
Javier: what?! I'm perfectly fine!
Alexis: *peeks out from behind Coco* no you arent Daddy
He killed you because you were trying to kill your own freaking wife and child!!! What the-*takes deep breath* Nope. Ok. I am just so sick of you. I... *meets his eyes with an incredulous expression* Wouldn't you rather die than kill your own family?
#ChaseForBook9
Javier: I...tried to kill them? *is scared* I would rather...*is freaking out*
*grabs Javier's hand, still keeping him off balance* Right. You're coming with me.
*waves to the others, drawing and jumping into a portal with Javier to a temple at the base of a mountain, and begins to work her energy, using the earth's energy*
Evil gremlins (aka Mom and Nel) have run off with all my crochet hooks! [Scowls]
[Just in and out, ignore me. I'll be ghosting if you need anything, though]
#ChaseForBook9
Sorry about that. But he can't handle that kind if stress right now... I can feel it. He's wobbling
*starts to tear up* *walks over to Niccolo and buries face in his shoulder, taking deep breaths*
#ChaseForBook9
Javier: *yelps and goes quiet*
*tries to walk but is a bit light headed* right okay not okay not walking need to save energy
*appears in the shadows, darkness pooling around her feet* How sweet
*shadow walks by Ari* I think he was possessed by a remenant! It explains his memory lapse
*takes one more deep breath, then turns to Death and smiles sadly* Sorry. There are some memories that I never really learned to cope with... *forces a light laugh*
Wouldn't somebody have noticed if he had been possessed? And, I mean, he seemed to remember everything he had done before- Niccolo told him not being near you guys was the consequence for his actions, and he seemed to understand that perfectly well. And when we were all saying we couldn't trust him. And he remembers Niccolo killing him. I don't really get it, actually...
*to Saccharine* Who are you, then?
#ChaseForBook9
*giggles in her hand* Now don't you all go silent on me
I dont know honestly. He may just be seriously insane. *sighs irritably* Why can I not EVER be happy?$
Javier: can I just...what am I doing?
*raises and eyebrow in inquiry* You couldn't tell? *does a dainty twirl* The black dress, pale blue eyes? *her skin begins to darken, and her hair grows short as her whole form changes into-Aretha*
*dramatically puts the back of her hand to her head* Oh! Oh! My deepest desire is to see her be happy! Oh! *clasps her hands together*
Niccolo, darling! Save me!
Eers who is this person? Just ignore them
There are a lot of people around here who rarely feel happiness. I guess at this point you can call it an occupational hazard. At least you've had plenty of happiness in your life, right? I mean, you got married, had a daughter... It really wasn't so bad until all of this happened, right? You'll get through it.
*notices Saccharine* *begins to laugh uncontrollably* Ohmygosh, wait, that's fantastic! *can't stop laughing*
#ChaseForBook9
*pouts, her original form melts back* I take offense to that, Zafira. I can just as easily bring your charming true name back, you know. But alas, what fun would that be?
((LET US ALL AGREE RIGHT NOW THAT NO MATTER HOW BUSY WE ARE WE DO NOT IGNORE ANYONE. END OF STORY. THANKS.))
#ChaseForBook9
*grins* we found his pain hilarious as well. So keep laughing, please.
Ari do you KNOW what I dealt with? I lost Javier and now I like Coco and he's bloody taken so yeah i give up honestly i just rather die and be happy dead.
We'd be waiting, Zaf. I don't think you would want to die yet. We'd give you hell.
*grins*
Literally
Who ARE you? Okay look leave me alone I dont like you as it is and as of right now I am about 5 seconds from letting Justaria out
I just give up on things now forgive me and I have a feeling Niccolo would make sure I dont stay dead
*bows* Saccharine, darling, Messenger of the Underworld.
Aretha does not mean to belittle your pain, Zafira- only to remind you of the happiness you have been fortunate enough to feel, and assure you that even though some terrible things have happened, you can still feel happiness. She means to comfort you, not to upset you further.
*glances wearily at Saccharine* So what are you, and why are you here?
#ChaseForBook9
Okay now kindly leave me alone
*speaks gravely* Do you know what I've dealt with? I lost my whole family and the closest friend I had, all in one night- and I killed them all myself. Within a week the only friend I had left was dead because of me, and the last close friend that I had died shortly after while trying to save me. We've all had our share of pain. I'm telling you that it will get better.
#ChaseForBook9
Coco I really just lost it I dunno what to do! *is upset* I just I rather just be dead at this time (eers okay this isnt helpful where is Adra she has Javier and i cant do anything)
((sorry, I left a word out- I meant to specify the last close friend that was a mage, and then the last close friend period.))
#ChaseForBook9
*shakes her head* Like hell.
*bursts out laughing with her own joke*
Ah, Mr. Croatoan. You're famous, you know. Amongst humans, you're one of the most destructive. It's a shame you die, soon! *pauses* oops! Spoilers...
Zaf, don't forget, you have a daughter to look after. You are under obligation to her to keep calm and carry on.
#ChaseForBook9
*snorts* This isn't a pity party, Aretha.
Why should that be a shame?
#ChaseForBook9
I'm lucky I'm calm!!! *paces* Okay where is Javier I wanna know if he's okay
Alexis: Coco can I practice with one of yor knives please?
You had so much potential. *tuts* I preferred that Alastair bloke over you, though. I don't think you realise how easily it would be to bring him out...
Alastair. Torturer of the Underworld. At least he was, until a few millennia ago...
No, Alexis, you may not.
#ChaseForBook9
Okay look i really am sick of Saccharine so i may leave
Alexis: awww!!! Why not?
*glares at Saccharine* What are you, a demon?
#ChaseForBook9
"Messenger of the Underworld". What else lives there?
Of course I am!
*glances sideways at Zaf* say what you want, Zafira. You're petty threats don't faze me.
(Okay I am giving Adra a half hour and then im getting Javier i wanted to use him but she just magically disappeared and at a very unhelpful time
Whatever Saccharine you dont scare me nor will you ever *shadows curl around hands* Get lost
What makes you think that you scare me?
*pauses* I appear to have issues with my physical form presently. Take offense if I don't answer back immediately
Im not afraid of you
[Glances at Saccharine] Guys...I think...
Never mind.
[Isn't here]
#ChaseForBook9
Now then. *leans forward*
Are you convincing me?
Or yourself?
I dunno okay demon try all you want im not scared *laughs*
*grins* for now.
Oh come on you really think im afriad of you? Stupid creature
Zaf... Try not to pick fights until we find out what this one wants. Besides to make you angry.
Ari, if you're still here, I emailed you.
I'm really not here now.
#ChaseForBook9
*scared, not angry so much. Some of both, I guess.
#ChaseForBook9
*shrugs* Soon enough.
*looks at the nearby bar* Ah yes, Mr Castalan. We've kept an eye on him. *kicks his door down* I could go for a bourbon
Where is Ari and Coco?
Uhm he isnt even here so yeah it makes no difference *sits up* kindly get out
What are we, five?
Where are, Zaf.
Where are Ari and Coco.
*takes a glass of bourbon, walking back outside*
Go die in a hole Saccachire *is keeping self calm* I asked you to go
And you can't order me around, Miss Kerias.
[Sighs]
Would you mind explaining why you're here, Saccharine?
[Raises eyebrow slightly]
#ChaseForBook9
*grins* Well, I was here to deliver a message, but I was interrupted by Miss Hothead losing her temper yet again. I find learning more about my opponent to be much more gratifying
Then say the message Saccharine
Likewise.
What is the message, then?
#ChaseForBook9
*laughs*
Run.
Run? I can barely walk you want me to run? I prefer not
*scoffs* Weak. Weakness will not be tolerated.
Well it'd be lovely if I could see if Javier was okay but as I dont know I shall stay here
[Has idea]
[Doesn't act on it]
Zaf, I can take you to the library if necessary.
[Scans the ground briefly]
Is that the only reason you're here, then?
[Again, raises an eyebrow slightly]
#ChaseForBook9
It is.
Death! [hugs]
#ChaseForBook9
*nods to Fabi and just looks confused* (why does everyone disappear at bad times?)
Are you quite sure? You haven't left.
#ChaseForBook9
You know, Miss Rose, I don't recall you acting so around Alastair Cruciatus. In fact you seemed rather infatuated by him. What makes him any different than me?
(Probably because there isn't really a good time to disappear)
#ChaseForBook9
*sighs*
*clears her throat* Do I make you uncomfortable? Why are you in such a hurry to have my leave your presence?
I dedicate this page to Niccolo and Aretha...I guess you're both happy so yay. I ded to Coco eventually returning one of my hugs. And to Javier being okay. And uh to idk
I'm not. Not at all. I'm just curious. If there was no other reason for you to be here, you would have left already, would you not?
[Narrows eyes slightly, calculating]
#ChaseForBook9
Because you are a demon so yeah nobody else wants you around so please do kindly return so they know you relayed your message
*appears with Javier, who seems to be quite dazed*
Right. I'm back. *breathes out, looking at Saccharine* Right....
*raises glass* NIKOLA TESLA!
Zaf, do you remember what we needed to do?
About the demons, I mean.
And nice ded.
#ChaseForBook9
Welcome back, Adra.
So, do we...?
#ChaseForBook9
Is he okay? Wait am I even allowed near him?'
Javier: *sees Zaf and looks ready to go hug* i sunno I prefer not to piss off Niccolo
*takes a sip of her bourbon* Oh, Fabi. I'm enjoying myself all too much. Although I do have to return soon... *frowns* Pity.
And Zafira. They're watching you- us. They're watching us. Constantly. Continually.
Who is watching? I dont understand
Oh right. You're little plan about killing us.
Good luck darlings.
*whispers* they're all in the bag, Fabi...
And I wouldn't advise it, Zaf.. He's still a bit wobbly and I'm cautious.
S-s--
[Deep breath]
#ChaseForBook9
Javier: *stunbles over to Zaf and wraps arms around her holding her close* i appear to have ignored orders...pity.
*yelps and hugs him back* (uhm be right back we need to go chase a child back from the beach
[Nods at Death]
[Stammers a little more]
#ChaseForBook9
((Back, but msd/mbd, sorry! My cousins just came.))
#ChaseForBook9
((Ari, a never mind on the email I sent you))
#ChaseForBook9
*snaps her fingers* Out with it, Fabi! I haven't all eternity!
Well, actually...
And I'm flattered, Death. I really, truly am.
I was going to ask another question, but I forgot what it was.
#ChaseForBook9
*shrugs* Whatever.
...
This is boring. I'm departing now. *disappears*
That settles that, then.
I was hoping...
What are we running from, then? [Waits]
#ChaseForBook9
Well, that was weird... She really came just to tell us 'run'? That seems too sketchy.
#ChaseForBook9
[Fidgets]
[Takes a deep breath]
[Facepalms]
[Goes back to being alert]
#ChaseForBook9
Yeah, I...
I get too nervous.
Maybe the idea would have worked. I almost tried it.
I'm sorry... I lost my nerve.
#ChaseForBook9
*hugs Fabi* it's okay...
I know. She was... Interesting
[Hugs back]
Yay!!!!!!! Um, with what, Death?
