I'm working hard. Writing fast. Deadline's looming. But while I work, other people have been working too, such as the awesome folks responsible for the covers...
And so, without further ado...

(My eyes be good, as bes mes. You?)
((No! I must check! Can you post the link?))
((I'm good! We're going to get our Christmas tree!
And me eyes be slowly melting and drowning in refried beans but overall good!))
So was that a joke, or are you some creature more like the rest of us than I thought? *he has returned the cat to her home by now*
(This one and this one.)
(Christmas tree! Christmas is coming!)
*The Crucible gives him a piercing glare- full of hatred*
*Turns towards she who attempts to access his memories* They are stored elsewhere, you will have no avail.
*quickly retreats from the Crucible's mind*
S-sorry
((Getting our tree in the pouring rain. It's so wet!))
*takes a step closer, peering at the Crucible* Now you're feeling something. The question is what exactly brought that out of you.
I have arrived to punish the naughty children.
*Eyes him levelly* *They then look like doppelgängers to one another* nothing that you will discover. At least, yet.
*He peers at the odd thing* Hm.
*is naughty*
*blinks, not sure what's going on, but moves closer to Noelle*
*slinks back a bit, hoping she will not be noticed again*
*though hmm...*
*what if she accessed the other man's memories?*
*she'd fin out more about him and possibly the Crucible, they seemed to know each other*
*she enters Alastair's mind even more carefully than she did with the Crucible*
Are you not being harsh on yourself?
*Is Adra*
I mean the other kind of naughty
(*watches*
*well.. watches as best I can with a cat on my face*)
*Alastair won't do anything to stop her, but the moment she reached his mind she'd be bombarded by screams and tens of voices all talking at once* *it's more than enough to drive most humans mad*
*The Crucible then eyes Adra, then FMN, the Krampus, and away, disinterested*
((XD oh dear. Cats 😆
Both my cats were on my bed this morning, one on either side of my head. It was pretty great!))
(@dug had you seen the posts?)
*stumbles backwards, eyes wide, leaving as quickly as possible*
*a thin trickle of blood seeps out of her nose*
*she should really learn not to just dive into anyone's head*
Oh, I see. Apologies for mixing that up.
*glances over at Forget Me Not* What did you want to accomplish by searching through my mind?
It is my job to punish children who misbehave and who refuse to believe.
What type of naughty as you?
*leans against a tree, trying to clear her mind*
*-weakly-*
Well... normally people have no resistance and..
*wipes her nose with a tissues*
And well, I was curious.
I see. If you were interested, I didn't resist you- that is simply what my mind is always like.
*turns his attention back to Krampus* Who refuse to believe in what?
Why, St Nicholas of course
(Duggggggy?)
You didn't?
Wow.
*looks around realizing the Cruicble left*
Where'd he go?
((Soy!!
Yep! Saw it and commented!!)
(Okay.)
What are we meant to believe about Nicholas?
That he exists.
...
The kind that pleases my husband
I haven't; I am here
I don't punish that kind of naughty.
*shrugs* I have no argument against the existence of a historical figure.
*slides an arm around his Adra's waist, and kisses her hair*
((Sorry, misread that!))
*her eyes focus and she realizes he never actually left*
Oops..
((*huggles Jai*
Soy it took so long to read it!))
((Aaannnrdd I have to go to Irish. Bye!))
*blushes* That's okay: my husband can.
And who will punish the Krampus when he is grumpy
(*offers Noelle a hug*)
((Goodbye, Forget Me Not.))
*kisses her lightly* Anytime you like, my darling.
*looks between the Crucible and Krampus* What are the two of you?
*The Crucible kicks a piece of rock* Nothing alike. I haven't a clue who this man is.
*Good* *She like shaving him at her beck and call*
You know his name.
*of course* *he is always at her beck and call*
Of course. It's right there on the screen.
*stretches just barely outside of the story* *the farthest he will ever get* I do love when we break the wall.
We? You mean you?
I mean anyone who wasn't created outside of a story.
How limited a perception.
*shrugs* I'm sentimental. And I don't much care anymore how limited my perception is.
And weak you are
That is true, also.
*He grins* Yes...
Do you feel better now because of that?
No- and I never felt less than fantastic. Especially knowing that I know.
I can't say I understand what you mean, but I'm sure that's all the more fantastic, isn't it? *sighs, and moves back inside the fourth wall, to hold Adra*
*Adra isn't there anymore*
*then he reaches out to her, through their link, to see where she is*
His link would come up blank- she is not dead, but she also is not within seeing range* *Her name, too, is bound*
*seeing range should, theoretically, be endless* *though it would get a bit fuzzy between dimensions* Have you done something to her?
Me? Why would you think that?
Perhaps it was the other one. *his eyes turn black as he searches for Krampus' name*
*He shrugs, and goes back to his phone*
*that takes too long, so he just looks for Adra's name, and for traces of where it's been recently*
*He would appear to see her right beside him*
*reaches out to where she should be standing, and attempts to project his thoughts to her* Darling, where are you?
*No answer* *Nothing*
*takes a breath, and then begins to try to read her name, to see what happened to her* *it's difficult, but doable if he can manage to concentrate, since it would be rather recent*
((*watching with interest*
*not really here*
*drawing, and sleeping soon*))
*There would be two names- one in their home, the other in Moscow*
*splits in two, and one teleports to each location*
*There are two Adras, each doing normal day things*
*the Crucible disappears*
*fristrating* *returns, then, and just moves time back to the point where he left the story*
*frustrating
*Very well then* *The Crucible plays a game on his phone, and disappears*
*waits for himself to disappear, and then goes to meet Adra*
*Adra(s) are in their respective places; both are, noncoincidentally, drinking coffee*
*but she was there before* *goes back farther*
*Then she would have been in a hotel, sitting in her room*
*teleports there, and takes her hand* Hello, love.
*She looks up, startled, and smiles* Hello! Couldn't wait long, hmm?
I just wanted to make sure you were alright.
Ah, I see.. *Touches his face* Did something happen?
...I believe so. It appears, in the future, as though you're in three places at once... So I came back to look after you. *leans closer and kisses her forehead*
How very sweet of you. *Appreciates the thought*
Are you alright so far, my darling?
*Nods again* I am. I have our connection to work by. *She shoos him off* Go along now; I'll be alright
But I couldn't feel you through that... *takes both of her hands, and kisses them* Please, may I stay with you?
*Gives him a weary look* *Then* Alright, you may stay.
Thank you, my darling. *hugs her gently*
(Fades out)
*fades out with her, then*
O.O
I hate this planet

@Noelle: It won't let me on. Possibly because I don't have Facebook.
Me neither, but golly, what a large link you have there . .

It'll do.
Also, he'a blushing, not French.
(Hello. Not really here cause i'm knackered.
Frank came over for my birthday but because of the floods in england he couldn't get a coach or train home tonight so he's staying at keiron's I really hope he gets home tomorrow but i also don't cause i want to spend more time with him :(
*Holds the woman in the chair before him by her shoulders- she's fading fast* Stay with me. Where are they? You said you knew.
*Her eyes roll back a little- she's going to pass out again*
*Gently grasps her face in his hand* Hey, listen to me. Listen to me. You have information. That I need. Tell me where the boy is.
*Her eyes meet his for the briefest second, and then are closed*
*Curses, hitting the leg of the chair with his foot* *The leg breaks, and the chair collapses, spilling the woman onto the floor* *He briskly struts off, moving the sunglasses from his masked face to see his phone* *He disappears*
*She feels herself slowly being drained of her energy and her magic- the Crucible appears to have intense knowledge of sigils- knowledge that is nearly equal, if not greater, than hers* *Moves her wrists, but finds them no less loose from the chair breaking* *One food is free, though* *Tries to pull the chair apart, but the rope digs deep into her skin*
*Coughs, and a puff of yellow dust rises around her* *Holds what breath she had,c so she does not breathe it in* *She has breathed enough* *The yellow dust is on her eyelashes, on her hair*
*Her body is beginning to be sore* *She needs her energy back*
*How has he managed to bind an entire city*
((Could you give me context for this?))
Adraaa :-(
😮
What would there be?
You are in Russia.
Well, sure, but how did she get there? Is this the point where I can only faintly feel her name?
You forget that there are multiples of her.
There were still multiples.
What have you done to her?
*Tilts his head* I haven't done anything to her.
Are you certain of that? It seems to me that I just read you doing something to her.
(Hello ^,^)
No, not I. Her magic is just bound.
Hello.
Then who bound it?
...Me
For what purpose?
Herrow Inkles, chums.
.
information
(Twip! How art thou?
How art everyone?)
Hello.
Where is she?
(:/
'twip')
*He pauses again* Pripyat.
(I'm in tip top form, yourself?)
(*hugs Adwa*)
:/
*No longer special*
(I is tired but I must persevere
I have a mock to revise for -_-
Sorry...)
((*hugs Noelle*))
*splits in two, one attempting to teleport there* *assuming that the whole city is bound, he'll teleport as close as he can, and then go in on foot, searching for her name, feeling through their connection*
What information did you want from her?
*She will be inside the factory, on the top floor*
*His eyes narrow* Nothing that concerns you
(Apologies, my idiotic scribe has to go soon until 3)
(*Crawls desperately away from responsibilities*
Hi peoples.)
(Hi John ^.^)
((Don't insult her. She is the best person I've ever known, and she's kind enough to give you a voice. In fact, I think perhaps she is one of the only people who would ever think of you as a person. You should be grateful to know her, and even more grateful to be as close to her as you are.))
*once he gets to the factory, he'll try to get in to run up the stairs*
She is my wife, and the only woman I've ever loved. I'm sure it concerns me.
(?ouy era woh ih )
(Hey k ^.^)
( how's you? )
(Tired, stressed... You?)
(ditto running about this morning getting Frank back to England.... )
*He would be able to, but the stairs would crumble from years of exposure*
*He sighs* No, I assure you, it does not. *He turns away, to go*
(I see
We weren't really effected down here but I saw what the storm did to some places)
*looks for any more stable part of the staircase, then* *also looks to see how far up he actually has to go, and what the walls are made of*
*follows him* Where are you going now?
( Carlisle was the main problem with the flooding... :/ at least he's on his way now should be at Birmingham I think by now )
(I sees ^.^
Omg now isn't the time to get obsessed with a new anime))
(It is always the time to get obsessed with a new anime!)
(*has a "naw" moment and nods, agreeing with Alastairs defence of Noelle*)
(Hi Jai!
Have you seen assassination classroom?
A big octopus like creature destroys part of the moon
It comes to earth and says it'll do the same to it in a years time
In the meanwhile he wants to train a class to be assassins and they must try and assassinate him before graduation )
(I've heard of it but never watched it, seemed a bit too out there for even my standards.)
*The walls are made of concrete, though soiled by radiation*
*The Crucible shrugs, and then, vanishes*
*he goes back outside, then, and looks at the outside of the building*
*The building itself is all but trembling under the force of the radiation*
(I like it ^.^)
(I'll have to check it out sometime, then.)
*that looks bad* *the copy he left teleports outside the city, and shifts into a very large bird* *large enough to carry a person* *it flies into the city, then, looking for an open window that could be large enough*
*Many of the windows are broken, though on the top floor, most are just portlets*
(Hello)
((Hello.))
*flies in through the highest window he can fit through, then, and flies up the staircase*
Oh....not sure if I should stay.
Blah stupid nose.
(Noelle Nods her head)
*Adra will be laying on the floor still, coughing a bit from the radiation that's seeping into her*
(My babydoll must have died!
Both of them..)
*he'll fly into the room, and nudge her gently* *is she still attached to the chair?*
*Is not attached to the chair* *Is on the floor, quasi-conscious*
Hello.
((Hello.))
*nudges her again, then, trying to nudge her into his back*
*He would have to do a little more than nudge* *She can't see him, nor tell* *She doesn't understand that her husband is a bird*
*nudges more, then, and slides his wing under her, trying to push her up*
Well dinner was good. It felt weird to eat at home. Tech week we eat at school for dinner because we stay until 7-8pm depending. Then Friday I didn't eat home nor Saturday and Sunday nobody sat together because we were at varying stages of exhaustion.
I mean the show was fun, and the elementary kids performance went so well, the kids were so excited.
AAAAAANNNNDDD back from gemma's birthday :P
(Finally! i was so worried about you btw omg.)
awwwwww *hugs* night night ^_^
*The only indication of her being alive is the shallow breath* *If he can manage to carry her with his claws or something- cool- but she isn't moving*
*backs away a little, then, and takes hold of her gently with his talons, then takes off again to fly them down the stairs* *she'll probably get scratched a bit, but only lightly*
*glances at the Alice/Adra thing going on*
Don't die, Alastair. I may finally have grown to like you and not want to strangle you until you let Nic back out.
Oh and say hello to Ari for me.
And you don't die either, Noelle. I have been reading even if I was performing all weekend, intermission was a gift.
*poofs off to sleep*
*then so it shall be* *She hands limply by his claws*
(:/ fiancée..)
((I appreciate the sentiment.))
*flies out as quickly as he can, the other following as close behind as he can*
((No, not you, silly! Niccolo! He's my fiancee ^.^))
-
*Very well* *Though they may feel weaker, due to the close proximity to the reactor blowout core*
((Naturally. I was only addressing Zafira. But you are lovely, my pet.))
-
*he will* *and the human one will feel worse, since he kept one illness*
*the bird just flies faster, so he can set her down and heal her sooner*
(Oh! Okay ^.^)
-
*Depending on how fast he flies, it may take a few minutes more- the city is large, and is not particularly on the fallout zone*
*he'll go until he's out of the bound area* *since he's such a large bird, he'd be faster than most birds, but it still might take two or three minutes*
*Very well* *Once from the area, there will still be radiation- just not as potent*
*he'll land, then, and shift back into himself, bringing her into his arms* *he begins by fixing mutated cells from radiation, and looks for other damage* *brushes his fingers over her face* Adra, darling, stay with me...
...
Are there any milkshakes in the vicinity?
...
Was that a bad joke?
If so, sorry.
*goes back to reading and studying for final tomorrow*
((I appreciate the reference, Effie.))
((Thank you. *bows*))
(Sorry for being away for so long.)
(Good morning!)
(I do too!)
*He would have to reverse the organ failure that had begun to already take place-- her liver, kidneys, left lung, a few others*
Happy Birthday Kassy!
(PENBLWYDD HAPUS A TI)
((Happy birthday.))
*he can do that* *it just takes a bit* *glances around her neck for her philosopher's stone as he heals her* *runs his fingers through her hair* Please, keep breathing, love...
(I is here)
(Happy birthday!)
-
*The stone itself is missing- it has been pulled off*
