Slums clinic Didymus paused. Was this against regulations? He couldn't search if it was... “Tell you what. If you insist, then tell your gun-totting friends to stand down and get out of patients way, and I'll personally show you every room in the clinic until you're satisfied that this woman is not here.” Ah. This man was agreeing. "Very well." he said, and was quickly out. "Gentlemen." he said to them. "Quick, scatter, or something, and hide and keep an eye on this place, but keep your eyes open. Let's make sure the lady doesn't sneak in or out of this place while their showing me the area. Something is up with this place..." The guards nodded, and Didymus quickly was back inside. "I don't mean to get in the way, doctor. If I would search on my own or if one of your staff that isn't busy could show me around, that would be fine." |

[Slums Clinic] Crane paused, and looked to Didymus. The man looked a bit annoyed. “Listen. This area is quite poor and most people do not trust or like the police force in this city. You military boys are stooges of the aristocrats. You cater to their every beck and call, but leave those who have not to struggle in the streets. You're being here frightens and annoys them... it drives people who might need help away. If it means getting you in and out, I'll show you around myself.” Crane then offered a grin. “Now come!” He showed Didymus the exam rooms, and then the halls. “I suppose that just leaves the basement.” Crane opened the door and led the way down. It was dark and dank, and there was an odd, off smell. At the bottom, Crane headed to the side. There was a blood-stained bed in the middle of the room. “I am a certified Plague Doctor. I treat those who suffer from dementia and contagious diseases down here. It's a messy job... the patients are often violent. I've been attacked numerous times. Normally I don't let anyone down here... but I wouldn't want you accusing me of hiding Miss. Malvin down here.” He went to a desk. On the opposite side of the room, in the corner, was Alice. She was hugging her knees to her chest and rocking back and forth. Her hair was matted and she looked terrible and pale. “Oops. Guess she was here.” Crane turned back around, now wearing a gas mask and a odd glove made of needles. He lunged forward and stabbed Didymus in the arm with his needles, instantly injecting him with some orange goop. “Now tell me, Lieutenant, what are you afraid of?” |

Slums Clinic Didymus was edgy as the "doctor" spoke. "I was unaware that dementia was contagious, doctor. Isn't it just a mental ailment...? This place is strange...if there's plague, shouldn't neither of us-" On the opposite side of the room, in the corner, was Alice. She was hugging her knees to her chest and rocking back and forth. Her hair was matted and she looked terrible and pale. “Oops. Guess she was here.” "MY GOSH!" Didymus cried, and his hands flew to his rifle. He swung it around, intending to arrest the doctor right then and there. When the doctor himself turned around, brandishing needles, claws, a mask, and demanding to know his fears, his intention changed to SHOOTING him rather than just arresting him. His finger squeezed the trigger... ..and the needles connected with his arm, causing him to recoil and miss! “Now tell me, Lieutenant, what are you afraid of?” "Bah...m-MONSTER!" Didymus bellowed, raising his rifle again! This man...no, this monster...his eyes were glowing like an unnatural phantom! The ceiling seemed to stretch, he could hear them...monsters...creatures, everywhere...snarling at him, looking down at him...he trembled, and raised his rifle at (where he thought he saw) the crazy doctor...who seemed to be larger... ...this wasn't right? Giant monsters, and was it suddenly raining? Were there...pits in the floor...? NO! a part of his mind screamed. ...no...this can't be real...that freak...put his weird liquid in your arm...you're tripping out... The roaring...the snarling...a beast was gnawing on Alice in the corner, and she was just...sitting there... You're supposed to protect me. But you can't protect anyone. Your men, me...not even yourself... he thought he heard her voice. "COME AND CLAIM ME! COME ON, YOU...YOU...DAAAAAAAAAAAGHRRRRRRRRGGGGGGG!" His scream was not even (purely) of terror, but of mental struggle in certain parts. It was a battle cry against the horrors he saw. It was a release of his own fear and anger and adrenaline. And it was a scream of mental effort. This seemed, this felt so real, yet part of his mind battled back, knew that it had to just be an illusion, Alice wasn't speaking to him, she wouldn't just sit there and let herself be devoured, these monsters couldn't have just appeared, this room couldn't possibly be swirling in an abyss of unholy shadow... ...but it was like a waking nightmare. If You can hear me, Father, from the depths...please, guide...guide my shots... He thought he could see the man who did this, hiding behind a rather nasty-looking creature that was about to jump him, he raised his rifle, tried to line up a shot, and squeezed the trigger... |

[Slums Clinic] Scarecrow saw Didymus as he staggered and moved, clearly taken by the influence of the fear toxin. He was pleased. It had the effect he was hoping for. The man was having a powerful and vivid hallucination, and his mind was being tested, pushed to its limits. Once he synthesized the compound into a gas form, all he needed to do was spread it through the city, and he would have everyone panicked. People would run from each other, and kill one another in fear, and in the chaos, Scarecrow would have free reign. By the time the city settled back down, he would have seized power... Then a gunshot. Scarecrow felt a sting in his side and cried out in pain. He had been shot, luckily just in the side, but he was bleeding fast. “Damn.” Scarecrow clutched his wound. “No matter. My research is finished. I take my leave...” He hurried out of a door in the basement, disappearing, and leaving Didymus and Alice alone. |

Slums Clinic Didymus was still being faced by the shadows and illusions of the fear chemical, and stared, tried to still himself... ...and it appeared his prayer for guidance had been affirmed. Even in his own tripped out state, he saw the shot connect, the ghostly figure of Scarecrow stagger back, cry out in an otherworldly (to him) but satisfying shout of pain. As Scarecrow seemed to stagger and cry, hurt, it was as if all the shadows and mosnters he was seeing had felt the blow, and they all leapt back, snarling and crying and yapping as if he had landed such a blow on every one of them. ...for all the fear, it was...empowering. He heard Scarecrow mutter something about research and leaving...and he turned and ran. "AAAAAAH!" Didymus bellowed after him, letting out a warcry to steady himself. The shadows seemed to rescind for a bit, then advance tenatively, and some stepped back as he brought his gun around, as if THEY were somehow afraid of HIM now, but still others seemed to advance unhindered... "COME ON! COME ON! CLAIM ME, IF YOU CAN!!!" One monster reared up to do so, he aimed at it...and it melted away. They all melted away. The floor repaired itself. The roof returned to being mounted on the ceiling. The rain stopped. And Alice stopped resembling a ghoulish carcass being devoured by a demon or beast. ...she was Alice again. Still scared, perhaps, but still there. Didymus looked around. ...is that it? Is it over? Has He...guided me through? He got his bearings, made sure the room was clear. Then, he slowly placed his rifle on the floor. "...Alice?" he asked, in as soft a voice as he could. |

Shimera's Mansion "Oh, I forgot about that!" Shimera whispered. She closed the secret window and turned around. "There IS a secluded place we can hang around. There's one passage around here somewhere that leads to it..." She began walking along. The passageways were almost lake a maze, but Shimera knew exactly where she was going. "Oh here it is!" She pushed on the wall and it opened like a door. It showed a staircase. "It leads underground! It's not under the house, so no one can hear us! I think it's under the flowerbed," she said, going down. When they reached the end of the staircase, Shimera and Cess were then in a nicely sized room with glow-in-the-dark stars stuck to the ceiling. There were even a few lanterns, which Shimera lit up. There were even some pieces of jewelry hanging from the ceiling. "My parents always have jewelry for me, but I thought a lot of it would look better in here!" she exclaimed. She poked an earring and let it swing back and forth on the string it was tied to. It sparked from the light of the lanterns. |

-Shimera's Mansion- Cess let out a low whistle, looking around the room. A lot of money in jewelry here... He frowned, shaking his head, then walked over to Shimera. “The view is quite beautiful,” Cess said, looking right at Shimera. The pale man paused, then went for it, stepping forward and kissing the girl. He may or may not get punched/kicked/set on fire for that. |

Shimera's Mansion The blonde girl blushed. This was highly unexpected for her. She stood there in silence, gazing confusedly at Cess with those big blue eyes of hers. Though it was hard to see in the lantern light, she was slowly starting to blush. She really couldn't come up with a good reaction. Her mind BSoDed, and she was spending the everlasting seconds of this moment trying to get her brain to work properly. |

-Shimera's Mansion- Cess blushed as well, taking a step back...Shimera hadn't hit him, or yelled at him, so he took it as a good sign... “...Sorry, that was...ummm...I mean, you're an aristocrat, I'm a commoner, it...we'd...just met...Ugghhh...” Cess said, “Look...I really like you. I do...Uuugh, this shouldn't be too hard!” |

Hydron Streets Jason gave a little nearvous cough, walking arm in arm with Maize while trying to keep a close eye on Melanie and Galv. A few minutes of walking and they were at the old workshop where Jason trained Galv. "Wooooow" Melanie exclaimed, looking around the dirty room. It was cluttered and dusty but she looked amazed with her surroundings. "Melanie be careful...And try not to get dirty" Jason warned, pulling up his own sleeves and lighting some lanterns in the dark room. "You guys work here?!" Melanie exclaimed, looking to Galv "This is amazing!" R&V Industries "Yeah, something like that" Kanna said with a little grin "Soooooo if we're all in agreement over this we should probably close the deal...Somehow" This was too easy! Stark Industries "Oh a workplace!?" Colette exclaimed excitedly "It can be my playroom!" She had no clue what Hammah and Jimi would need with a private workplace. Knife's Mansion Sophie let out a little breath of relief when Spoony came to the door. She followed him into the home and marveled at it's size.... "Holy geeeeez this place is cool!" She exclaimed, looking from the marble floors and ornate ceilings "It kinda looks like a church in here" She then stopped as they made it to the dining room. Spoony's mother and the others were glaring at her. "Oh darling you've finally made it...About time" the woman, Mezzaluna, said with a sickeningly sweet voice "I do hope you didn't scuff my floor with your shoes" Sophie blinked, looking down at her old boots. She blushed. |

-Dusty Workshop- Galv grinned, happy that Melanie seemed to find the place exciting. “This is my desk!” Galv said, showing Melanie his little place where he worked. He picked up a device, that had a bulb in it. He focused, and the entire thing seemed to glow, running on power from his electricity. “Do you like it?” Galv asked. Maize looked around, picking up a small piece of metal, idly bending it. “So what kind of inventions do you have around here?” Maize wondered, “If you ever want to sell some...well, my dad and Rica give me a lot of leeway in the company. I might be able to set something up...” -R&V Industries- Ethan glanced to Rica, then paused... “Well...” Ethan said, approaching Kanna, “I suppose we could write up a quick contract...if you could accompany me into my private office, I can draw something up with you...” -Stark Industries- “Colette, you'll be able to have your own room!” Jimi said to Colette, “You won't have to play in Hammah's workshop.” |

[R&V Industries] Rica looked over to Ethan and narrowed his eyes. “... And why would she accompany you to your office? Drawing up a contract requires us both. Besides, I have a better idea.” Rica gave a grin to Kanna, and took another drink of his alcohol. “Why don't we all get smashed? That's usually a great way to seal a deal.” Rica... Kanna... and Ethan... all drunk. Oh dear sweet lord this is going to get creepy and have to be censored, isn't it? [Stark Industries] Stark chuckled, and looked down to Colette. “Well... you're a kid. I like kids. Okay. I'll make sure you get a playroom.” He patted her on the head. “Sama! You know my bank number. Go find a apartment building for all these guys. I don't care what you spend.” If this was SK&WS Sama, he'd be buying a cruise ship. But Great Spoon =/= Iron Man. “Okay!” Sama nodded. [Slums Clinic] Alice was lying in the corner, clutching her legs to her chest. She looked horrible, and as Didymus approached, she scooted away from him, pressing against the wall and brandishing her knife. “S-Stay back!” |

R&V Industries Kanna couldn't help but be amused, they had moved past all of the innuendos in record time. She was half impressed they had gotten this far with her. "Now boys, while I appreciate your eagerness I must respectively decline anything too...Offical...Tonight. After all I have two children waiting at home for me. Any papers we sign will have to be swift....And maybe over just one really strong drink. I wouldn't want to be too drunk to forget my inhabitions you know....Concerning work. Of course." Kanna took another sip of her drink "Anyways I probably should mention that i'm legally still married....Not that that has anything to do with business" But it totally does. Stark Industries Collete looked as if she had just received a magical "Im gonna get my own room AND playroom!" She exclaimed happily to her brothers "This is so cool! Thank you thank you thank you!" Crystal giggled. Like Tony she liked kids. Dusty Workshop Melanie's eyes widened with delight as Galv produced electricty to power the device. "It's amazing" she said simply "You're amazing" Jason coughed, going over to them "Now Galv, you shouldn't be using your powers, we shouldn't be here remember. I would hate for us to gather unwanted attention in here" Translated this was: Stop impressing my little sister before I hand you from the roof. He then looked back to Maize, half amused. "That would be cool, but this workshop stuff has to stay a secret...I'm trying to make things to help people, but Kanna wouldn't like that too much" |

Knife's Mansion Spoony sweatdropped at Mezzaluna's remark, and turned to Sophie saying, "Oh, here, lemme pull out your seat for you!" Spoony, as he said he would, pulled out Sophie's seat so that she could sit down. Then Spoony say down in his own seat which was close to hers. One of Knife's servants came by and started serving everyone some soup. The servant announced, "I do hope you enjoy the Parmesan Tomato Bisque to start you off. Tonight's dinner will be Prosciutto and Ravioli Risotto, served in a cheesy Alfredo sauce. Since the..." He glared at Sophie for a second, then continued. "...guest only now arrived, I'm afraid that the main course has been ready for a while. But we shall attempt to keep it warm for all of you." The servant gave Knife and Mezzaluna a half-bow before going back into the kitchen, where the chefs were. Spoony was a bit nervous that everyone else in the room seem to have it out for poor Sophie. |

Slums Clinic “S-Stay back!” Didymus looked her over. To make Alice look "horrible" was quite a tall order in his opinion, but this insane doctor had somehow managed it. He crouched down, and did stay back. "Alice...please. The nightmares...they aren't real. I saw them too. But it's a trick. A drug. Please...if you just wanna sit there until it wears off, you can...but please...relax. You're safe now." He was trying to reassure her, but she looked pretty wacked out by now... |
