"Indeed I am, and yes, she is. Not enough for me to feed off her, but details details. What about you." She looked Seculus in the eyes. "What about you, though? Are you recovered from...whatever it is you were in?"

My heart skipped a beat. Hold on, Seculus. What was it Lily had said before? She could do things like that. I should try to ignore it. Or, you know, I could not. /Ignore it/. ".....yes. I suppose. That was what I wanted to speak to you about. Thank you for covering for me."

The corners of her lips curled into a smile. Yep, she knew that look. "Careful, a man staring into the eyes of a geisha for too long might tempt him to a point he can't resist her."

2015-09-20 03:37:03

🌀

"I'm going to translate that as 'you're welcome'. And I don't think that applies to all...geishas? Is that what you are?" I did avert my eyes, though.

"Actually, it's a requirement to become one. So yes, I am one. Straight from Japan."

2015-09-20 03:40:02

🌀

"Oh. Well, anyways, thank you again, since I'm not entirely sure if you processed that or not."

2015-09-20 03:42:14

●

"I have. You're welcome. Anything for my girlfirend's friend."

2015-09-20 03:42:43

🌀

Something else occurred to me. "...was there....another woman? Not implied in the relationship sense, I mean, after the accident, did...a woman appear and talk to her?"

2015-09-20 03:44:36

●

"I have no clue. Either way she was too drugged up on morphine to remember. Why?"

2015-09-20 03:47:39

🌀

Oh dear. That just made me even more worried. At least I could've known whether or not to keep an eye out. Looks like it may be time to explain again. I glanced around, but everyone was either preoccupied or staring dazedly at her. "You wouldn't happen to know about the voice thing already, would you?"

2015-09-20 03:49:22

●

"Hmm? Oh!" Lily did mention something like that to her. Vaguely. Enough to understand. "Yes, I do."

2015-09-20 03:51:22

🌀

Wait, really? Good, well, that would make things a little easier. "Back at IHOP, her devil possessed her and seemed set on getting out. Getting Lily hit by a car would be one way to do that."

2015-09-20 03:53:04

●

"Oh dear. Well. If she's out, i guess we all should watch our backs."

2015-09-20 03:53:59

🌀

"You should be alright. I'm not sure if she's actually violent or not. But she may go after Anndrea, my girlfriend..they have a history, or at least she thinks they do. Her name's Scylia, I believe."

2015-09-20 03:57:02

●

"Well I guess the better response would be /you/ should watch your back. A jealous woman can be a deadly thing. Especially if you have someone she loves."

2015-09-20 03:58:13

🌀

"......" That only served to increase my level of nerves. If not violent, she'd certainly seemed dangerously unstable. "I'll....I'll try. Oh. That's right. Next time you do see Lily, could you...tell Johanna hello for me? She's her angel. She's....an old friend of mine." Thinking about it even now hurt as much as it always had. Josette. I'll get you back. I promise.

2015-09-20 04:01:19

●

"Yes. Of course." She smiled, looking Seculus in the eyes before giving him a quick wink and heading back to work.

Calistor again. My hopes have become fifty/fifty for this place. Before it was either I'd be by myself or Calypso would be here. About 10/90. Then I met Clarenz and he just added to the Calypso side of that ratio. I was still cold. That seemed to just be perpetual now. I'm not sure why. In all regards, I feel...okay. Is it possible to control it? I ran my finger along the ground where I sat and for once didn't leave a trail of ice. Hmm. So maybe I'm just cold. I stood up, straightened my glasses, and peered around, waiting for either a sprig of black or red to pop into my vision.

The smell of peppermint. She was here again. Ivory stuck her hands into her pockets. Would she meet someone else here? Would it be Seculus again? Possibly. She hoped so. Maybe having company wasn't so bad after all. Ivory moved forward, peppermint aroma trailed behind her.

2015-09-20 04:34:56

🌀

I saw a blurry shape in the distance. That was the thing about here, there's absolutely no hiding, even if you manage to get away. Even with the fog. I moved towards the person silently, not wanting to draw their attention until I could tell which one it was.

2015-09-20 04:36:53

●

Out of the fog, Calypso emerged, fueled with pent up rage and out for blood. Of course, she didn't have her knife anymore, so blood was out of the question. Instead, her intent was to injure seriously with her fists.

2015-09-20 04:40:12

🌀

Oh. Oh no. Of course it was. Of course, her, out of all possible options. I stumbled backwards, one hand moving up to grip the cross around my neck. I should've brought my knife. I should've, I should've, but I grew too lax, and now it's too late. I balanced myself out again into a fighting position. No. If I'm going down, I'm going down swinging.

2015-09-20 04:43:25

Calypso tackled Seculus to the ground, hands clenched into fists. "GIVE IT BACK!" She screamed loudly. "GIVE IT BACK BACK NOW!"

2015-09-20 04:46:50

🌀

"I--UMPH--DON'T HAVE IT! I DON'T HAVE IT WITH ME!" What, was she seriously /this/ attached to it? Did I find it? Have I finally tracked down her weak point? I couldn't help it. I started laughing. "I DON'T HAVE IT, AND YOU DON'T HAVE IT EITHER!" I WIN! I WIN!!

2015-09-20 04:49:00

She wrapped her hands around his throat tightly. "/Then you're not getting it either./"
