I twitched when this woman answered. She wasn't here last time.... There was a call from within the house. "Is it a blonde guy with glasses??" Jack? A small dog came yipping to the door and started sniffing me, confused. Whose is this?

Ivory almost jumped back from the animal out of instinct, but then remembered whose hand she was holding, and gave it a reassuring squeeze. "Uhhh sort of. He has brown hair and blond tips now." Mysteria called back.

"Eh? So it's not Eillie...?" He sounded disappointed. Was he expecting him to show up? "Wait, it's Seculus!" The redheaded me came stumbling towards the door, using his hands to make sure there wasn't anything in front of him. The dog ran over to him, whining. Is it his? I suppose we would smell the same. ...the way he's moving...so he's really blind?

●

So...Dameien was right.

On the other hand, Dameien was in Edmund's house, and tried to trip Jack.

2016-02-28 01:55:26

🌀

....was he the one who told you--ah. Jack's foot caught on something and he fell facefirst, his little dog darting out of the way. I winced.

2016-02-28 01:57:04

●

No, Ren was. Dameien is...well...not a good person.

Dameien laughed, and down on the floor.

2016-02-28 01:58:12

🌀

...I know he isn't. Jack yelped and swung his hand at empty air. Wait, you said he could see ghosts now, right...?

2016-02-28 01:59:06

●

...Did I mention Dameien isn't a nice person.

It went right through him. "Mm, you're gonna have to try harder than that."

2016-02-28 02:02:32

🌀

...oh /dear/. "Leave me /alone/...!"

2016-02-28 03:51:28

●

"Just tune him out." Ivory called out.

"Why would I-" Mysteria spoke.

"Not /you./"

2016-02-28 03:57:30

🌀

Jack froze. ".../Ivory/??" "...we're both here. Are you okay....?" "My elbows hurt..."

2016-02-28 03:59:19

●

Mysteria grew confused. "Wait a second. You're...I don't sense your incubus energy anymore."

2016-02-28 04:06:37

🌀

"...that's because I'm not one. I /told/ you, but you didn't listen...I'm an angel like Madison. And I didn't appreciate what you did to him, either."

2016-02-28 04:07:54

●

"In fact." Ivory reached out and took her wrist. "If you ever hurt anyone I know again, it will be the last thing you'll do." She gave Mysteria's hand a squeeze, and was a soft, and very faint cracking sound muffled by her hand as she pulled away.

2016-02-28 04:14:35

🌀

I flinched a little. I don't think that was a joint popping. ...I'm also not sure I was supposed to be able to hear that. Was that...necessary?

2016-02-28 04:16:10

●

Yes. She pulled her hand back into her pocket. Mysteria immediately grabbed her wounded hand and removed it from that door. "What are you here for?" She grunted through the pain.

2016-02-28 04:18:41

🌀

"....just to....check on Jack, really...." "Whoever it is, why haven't they left yet?" That pink-haired man, Edmund, is it, came from the back room followed by a puff of greenish smoke. He was wearing Jack's goggles. ...something about this rubbed me the wrong way.

2016-02-28 04:21:08

●

Mysteria turned her head towards Edmund. "The ex-incubus and his...girlfriend are here to make sure you haven't killed Jack."

2016-02-28 04:24:39

🌀

"/Ex/ incubus? Well, I haven't. Yet. ....are you okay?"

2016-02-28 04:27:45

●

"Yeah. I'm fine." That pain in her hand disagreed. But she wasn't sure as to what to make of that.

2016-02-28 04:29:20

🌀

"Are you sure." He was frowning. Jack pushed himself to his feet, picked up his dog, and finished making his way over to us. ....is it just me, or has he shrunk? I'm taller than him now. ....odd....maybe he has a different metabolism since....no, I really don't understand.

2016-02-28 04:31:23

●

"I think so." Whatever it was, she could look at once they left.

Of course, Ivory had to look up to Jack still.

2016-02-28 04:34:14

🌀

He put out his hand and it landed on Ivory's head. "...what're /you/ doing here?"

2016-02-28 04:35:33

●

His hand felt the thick softness of her hair. "I didn't want Seculus to come alone."

2016-02-28 04:36:31

🌀

He smiled a little and pet her hair, eyes lowering from the empty doorway behind us to around where she stood. "But he's not alone, he still has Sharon! ...Luces doesn't count."
