Bikini muttered to herself as she fixed the damage Stefan had caused. After replacing the kanji and straightened up and pressed her hand against the small of her back as she stretched.
"You'd think a girl so close to the ground wouldn't have to worry about getting a sore back from bending over." She phewed. "Eeeergh." She stretched harder and rolled her shoulders. "Well, that should do it I guess. I hope the rest of Dahlia makes it here okay. OH RIGHT! THE OTHER BLASTED CIRCLE!" She snapped suddenly and hobbled over to make previously mentioned circle.

Gregor had just returned his attention to Emi's art when Bikini snapped, "Hey! You stop that!" Startled, he looked in Bikini's direction. It was then that he saw Stefan smudging the kanji with his face set in an expression that seemed at once malevolent and strangely childlike--the sort typically seen on petty vandals who are unaware that they are being watched. Bikini continued to chew him out, even hitting him on the head. "I need everything the way it is or else my chants will be warped! Do you want warped chanting? I think not!" Watching her haul Stefan away by the ear, Gregor marveled. She may have her faults, but cowardice is not among them. Amused, he paid the matter no further heed, devoting his attention once again to Emi's work-in-progress. To his surprise, her work had now taken a surrealistic turn. This reminds me of Salvador Dali. I wonder what's inspired her to draw like this?

Iris blinked twice in mild shock before obediently pulling herself off the ground. Although she hoped and prayed the worst was finally over, that seemed a little too...easy. She couldn't shake the thought of being in the eye of a hurricane. Maybe she didn't want to know, but...
"Um...Mr. Swallow?" she asked as she limped behind him, still clutching her neck. "What...did you do to her?"

Doug suddenly felt odd and fell over, unconscious.

Suzumi seemed to giggle slightly at this, as if it was her that did it.

"Oh come on, what in the hell is happening to her?" asked Chris, and he again stood over Suzumi's body. "Now listen up, you. You stay still, or I'll pin you to the ground again."

"You're foolish," came Dahlia's voice from Suzumi. "You can't stop me. I--" KONK! Chris knocked her out with the same thing she knocked Doug out with: A knock to the head.

"Yeah, that's that I guess. We need to drag her over to the Banishment Circle," said Chris. The other Dahlia's voice came through him as the next line came, "And keep her locked away forever... that power has to never come back here..."

Doug was pretty annoyed when he felt Suzumi hit him over the head, or at least he did for the couple of seconds that he was concious for. Then it all went black for a bit. After that, he started seeing random colours swirling about for a while before the colours began to fade and he slowly opened his eyes. By that time the others had gone, and he was lying down in the snow all by himself.

"You'd have thought they'd have gotten someone to take me indoors" he said to himself, but he was too tired to move. It was a good thing the snow was pretty comfortable though, so he stayed there for a bit to try and rest himself enough to be able to get up.

(OOC: Ok, this allows me to have a tiny break from the action for a while, he should be able to get back in time to forgive the good side of Dahlia. Sorry for not explaining my absence guys :3)

Iris threw another worried glance behind her as she followed Chris-Dahlia carrying the unconscious body of Suzumi-Dahlia. She'd wanted to at least give Doug a coat or help him out of the snow or something, but she didn't have one to give and felt her twin's time was running out. "I hope he doesn't get sick laying there..."
She turned her attention back to the friends and splintered sister ahead of her. "Are you alright? Do you need help carrying Suzumi?" she offered.

Stefan shook his head suddenly, as if coming out of a daze. "Oh, um, sorry, Sister Bikini." He sat down, well away from the circles. He showed no sign of recognition to anyone else nearby, or any concern. He tapped his forehead with two fingers - his index and middle - brooding on something. He kept one eye on as many people as possible, to make sure he wasn't needed.

((I'm sorry about my absence. I got the impression I was being a tad too... eccentric in my RPing on this topic. So I spent some time thinking it over. Quite a bit too much, perhaps.))

((Are you kidding me? Your RPing was as good as the rest of us. Well, except for Fran and Sen, they do the best in my opinion.))

"I'm fine. Thank you for offering... you need to rest." "We will lie this body in the banishment circle so the woman can do her work. After that... we will see what happens to me." Both voices spoke out of Chris, as he carried the body, getting closer to the aforementioned circle.

Jade looked up. "Be careful not to step on any more of the circles though - I think Sister Bikini will have a literal cow if they get messed up again." She then giggled at her own words.

"Well it's about time." Bikini stepped over the paralyzed but now totally conscious and almost twitching body of Phoenix like he were a log in her way. "Put her in that circle there." She gestured to the banishment one. "Let's get this done with." She hobbled to the circle and waited for Chris to put her in it. Once she was Bikini clapped her hands together and started to chant. There wasn't a flashy light show or really any indicator that anything happened at all except Suzumi letting out a deep breath and her face looking more at peace. "There we are, next!"

Utterly fascinated with the surrealistic drawing on which Emi was working, Gregor did not notice the arrival of the long-awaited party. Perhaps this interest was intensified by his growing emotional attachment to her, but frankly he didn't think that mattered much. It was quite apparent to him--according to both intuition and experience--that it was through her art that one learned most about Emi's inner workings. This latest piece might be yet another important clue to her condition. Ultimately, it was Bikini's voice that alerted him to the presence of the others. "Well it's about time. Put her in that circle there. Let's get this done with." Lifting his gaze, he saw Chris place Suzumi in the banishment circle. Well well...they're here! As Bikini began the chant, he scanned the group. Something seemed slightly off. Then it hit him. Doug is missing! ...Have they even noticed? Studying them intently, he saw that Iris looked particularly worried as she watched the exorcism. Perhaps she could tell him something about Doug's situation. He hesitantly tapped her on the shoulder. "Excuse me, but could you tell me what happened to Doug?"

So it's done? Dahlia's been seperated from Suzumi? Are they both okay? Will Dahlia be able to be whole again? Will she forget what she's remembered if she joins her other half? And what about Feenie? Will he return to normal now? He looks so uncomfortable that way... Should I go talk to him? Can he even understand me in his current state? Should I just hug him? I wish I could help somehow...
Iris yelped at Gregor's touch as if she'd been stung, shocked out of the temporary world of her thoughts and troubles. "O-oh, I'm sorry!" she quickly apologized. "Mr. Swallow? Well, er... Dahlia, that is, the one that was in Suzumi, knocked him unconscious... He seemed to be otherwise alright and we thought time was of the essence, so...we sort of left him behind in the snow..." she admitted, fingering her neck gently.

"The important people are here. Someone can go get him I'm sure." Bikini overheard and waved it off as she stood in front of Chris and unlocked the hood on his head. Once his was removed everyone she plunked a hood onto had theirs activated so there would be no unwanted entries. "Resistance is futile. Your life as it has been is over. From this time forward, you will be assimilated." She said with a touch of over amusement at her own cleverness.

Watching Iris yelp at his touch, Gregor winced. "O-oh! I'm sorry!" she began, "Mr. Swallow? Well, er...Dahlia, that is, the one that was in Suzumi, knocked him unconscious...He seemed to be otherwise alright and we thought time was of the essence, so...we sort of left him behind in the snow..." Poor girl...she's accepting a reproach I didn't even intend! He was almost sorry he'd brought it up. "The important people are here." Bikini interjected, "Someone can go get him I'm sure." Responsibility and longing pulled him in opposite directions. Following several agonizing seconds of indecision, responsibility won the fight. Emi now has several people to look after her. Doug is alone and may need help. As much as I may want to, I can no longer justify staying with her. I have to find him. He raised his hands palms out in a calming gesture. "It's okay, Iris. I'll fetch him." With a vigor born of low-level desperation, he broke into a run back the way he'd come, eyes swiveling this way and that in search of Doug.

Chris looked over at Bikini. "Well, can we get on with it? Though I was beginning to get used to this, for some odd reason."

"Weren't you supposed to bring my soul out of him? I can't just escape, it'll hurt him," came Dahlia's voice. "And, what about the.... other half of me that you got out of Suzumi? What are you going to do about all of this? I'm confused..."

"The other soul is trapped in the circle, now you have to be patient, this is a complicated process." Bikini didn't really have to time explain every single detail of her actions. She chanted and the souls in Chris started to sift and separate. Bikini looked as if she were performing delicate surgery the way she moved her hands about as she said the same strange phrase over and over again. Eventually she had the soul removed. She quickly locked Chris' hood. She would have to dim one of the circles in order to put put the could together inside one or the other. The last step was to put Emi in the third so that she could expel the hellfire. Emi did exactly as instructed with no questions or fighting. Bikini wished that other kids would act like that as she quickly pulled the power out of her. Now Bikini had three separate spirits to deal with trapped in three circles. She could only combine them into one and then the circle would perform its function. "Well kids, what's it going to be? Redemption, return, or banishment? And be quick. I don't have all night."

Chris stepped forward. "Sister Bikini, I've had talks with Dahlia ever since her soul was trapped in my body, and I think she deserves redemption. She understands what she did, and is willing to redeem herself so she can come back by embodying a Spirit Medium."

Jade tilted her head. "I'll decide whatever my brother decides... he knows the right thing to do."

Dahlia's spirit watched everyone else, and she couldn't help but sigh. Everyone else didn't hear what she had to say. They would all choose Banishment... except her sister. She eyed her sister, and a sad look dawned across her face.
((WARNING: VERY CHEESY SCENE AHEAD.))

She sighed. "Sister... I-Iris. I talked with Chris, and he told me what I must do. I know I can't come back, but I can still visit if a Medium summons me back. But, before I go, I just want to say... I'm s-sorry for everything."

((Mm, cheese.))

Stefan turned his head to Bikini. "Eh. Redemption. If you wish to allow my opinion. Perfectly fine if you do not." He then went back to glancing over the group. He soon seemed to lose intrest quickly, then went back to staring into space blankly. "...If she remains as sane as she is now. If she reverts to the state before her death that I've heard so much about, then banishment would be far more ideal."

It had gotten to the point where Doug was getting really cold. Maybe slow-sleeping was a bad idea. So he slowly got up and began to trudge towards where the others were at a slow pace. His limbs were stiff and his clothes were covered in ice; but he could see someone in the distance running towards him. It was Greg. Doug smiled and kept on trudging towards him, and it wasn't long before they both reached each other, and Greg helped direct him towards the others.

By the time they'd got there, he'd heard the last part of Stefans' answer and scowled slightly.
"Ideal?" he said icily "For goodness sake man, the past is the past. I don't think she's going to suddenly go psycho on us." He walked past him and walked up towards Bikini. "I'd also like to register my vote for Redemption, if you please m'aam."

"Iris? Do I really need to ask for your answer?" Bikini wondered briefly. She was the only one who hadn't voted besides Mr. Lucky who, really, wouldn't likely just echo Iris' sentiment towards redeeming the girl despite all the mind screwing. It made Bikini smile inside to think there was a man out there who'd work just as hard to make Iris happy as she did for everyone else. Hopefully they wouldn't overwork themselves for the sake of the other.

Gregor had been running for some time when he saw someone slowly, almost creakily getting up in the distance. The sight startled him a bit, but hope soon crowded out fear. Is that Doug? As he approached, the figure walked toward him. When he could finally make out the figure's face, he recognized Doug's features. A smile lit them. Thank heavens! Out of breath for the moment, he smiled and tilted his head slightly back in silent greeting. Doug reciprocated and in companionable silence they walked back to where the rest of the party was, Gregor consciously slowing himself down while Doug worked the kinks out of his muscles.

Arriving at the site, they heard Stefan thinking aloud. The words which reached Doug's ears did nothing to improve his mood. "Ideal? For goodness sake man, the past is the past. I don't think she's going to suddenly go psycho on us." Gregor smiled politely and focused his gaze straight ahead. As they approached Bikini, Doug spoke up. "I'd also like to register my vote for Redemption, if you please ma'am." Gregor nodded to signal his agreement. Most if not all of the votes had most likely now been cast. From this point on, the matter was out of his hands.

"Oh! No, I mean...that...that's okay, sister..." Iris fumbled over her words. Dahlia's apology caught her off-guard; she'd never once seen her acting so...humble. She really had changed in this short time, hadn't she?
With a faint smile, Iris nodded firmly to Sister Bikini. "Mother...please, save her."

Bikini was already prepared for the answer she'd assumed by having the main part of the spirit within the redemption circle. With a quick nod she chanted and the wind kicked up in swirls around her and the circles as wispy energy drifted off of the kanji. With a soft glow and a quick hot flash of blinding bright light those that could see the spirits watched them rejoin and lift into the sky as she faded away. The air grew still and everything was eerily silent for some time. Bikini remained in position with her hands clasped together with a single strip of beads hanging from them, her nose pressed against her extended index fingers, and her eyes firmly shut. Iris knew what this stance meant. Bikini was currently not in her own body and was likely assisting Dahlia on a safe journey beyond. Perhaps even speaking on her behalf to the ones above. This process often took days in the spiritual world, but for those below it was only a matter of a single minute until Bikini opened her eyes again looking much more tired and a little bit older than she had before.
"She promises to say her hellos again some day." Bikini told Iris with a smile. "It seems she has actually learned from this experiance and while she's still rather grumpy she's at least willing to admit her wrongs and work to make rights." Her eyes cast over to a softly muttering Phoenix. "Of course I'm still the one having to clean up the mess. One of you strapping boys help me get him to a cab, will you?"

Before anyone else could volunteer, Iris scrambled to her feet. "That's not necessary. I'll do it. You've all done so much for me already..." she beamed. She walked up to Phoenix and knelt at his side. He seemed more at ease already; she wondered if that because she was there, or because her sister had crossed over.
Her sister...
Iris wiped the tears that wouldn't be held back any longer off her cheeks, but they were quickly replaced. This was the third time Dahlia had completely left her life, but past experience didn't make this situation any easier. Knowing her dear sister was finally on the path to salvation helped a little, though...
She finally gave up on keeping her face dry, draped Phoenix's arm over her shoulders, hoisted him up, and began walking him to the parking lot. Hopefully she wouldn't trip on something she couldn't see on the way there.

Bikini silently began to pack up her things while Phoenix was, rather easily at that, being led away. He was still muttering things off and on, but it seemed his mind was beginning to clear some.
"We should get ice cream." He said out of the blue. It was obvious that he wasn't quite aware of where he was at the moment, but at least where he thought he was could be pleasant since ice cream was mentioned. He smiled over at Iris, but from the distant look in his eyes he could have just as easily been simply smiling in her direction.

The chaos at the university had finally begun to die down. Many of the students had to call parents or friends to make sleeping arrangements for the night now that the dormitory they'd previously called home had been hollowed out by flame. First Dusky Bridge burns down two weeks ago, then a college dorm follows suit today... It was going to take quite a bit of work to convince the authorities that the same group of students present at both scenes were all mere victims of circumstance. That was a worry for another day, though.

Thankfully, Iris had a fairly easy time hailing a taxi and an even easier time getting Phoenix into it. It was nice to know that some things could still go smoothly after a day when so much had gone wrong.

She'd forgotten until that point, but touching the back seat instantly reminded her of how absolutely drained the day's events had left her. Staying awake long enough to settle into the seat next to her boyfriend and give the driver directions to the temple was no small feat at that point, but somehow she barely managed.

********************

"I was starting to wonder how long I'd have to wait."

Iris jumped at the unexpected voice and instinctively scanned the area to locate the source. All she found was the same thing surrounding her as far as she could see: complete darkness. Ultimately, it didn't matter, though; she'd recognize that voice anywhere, and knowing that, there probably wasn't anything to see.

"Y-you're still here? But I thought-"

"Now what kind of a greeting is that?" the voice interjected. "Yes, that woman - Bikini, was it? - took me back. But I needed to tell you something, so I followed her here and waited for you to go to sleep so I could say it."

"But...but how could you have done that yourself?" Iris fretted. "I mean, Sister Bikini has trained for years for this sort of situation! You could have gotten lost, and-"

"Iris, is this really important right now? I don't have a lot of time left before I have to leave again."

"S-sorry... You were saying?"

"Yes, well... I suppose it's not something I needed to tell you, but..." the voice mumbled a bit sheepishly. "I...I wanted to say... Thank you, sister. For not giving up on me and taking the easy way out, especially after everything I did. You didn't need to do that."

"Oh! It's-it's alright, really," Iris stammered, taken aback by the somewhat uncharacteristic gratitude. "I didn't want you to suffer. I just...I just wish I could have done something sooner..."

"Iris, that wasn't your fault," the other girl interrupted again sternly. "If anything, I should apologize to you for putting you through it. Please, for both our sakes, let it go..."

"A-alright...Dahlia?"

"Yes?"

"...The police called me this morning, you know. They said they've finished their investigation into what happened on the bridge...and that I should be able to go and get you soon...Is there anywhere in particular you'd like to go?"

Dahlia remained silent for a few moments before responding in what was a rather playful tone for her. "You mean you can't decide on something as simple as that without my help, little sister?"

"Yes, I can," Iris defended herself, "but since I had the chance to ask, I thought you might want a say in it."

"I...I can't think of anywhere in particular-"

This time it was Iris' turn to cut in. "There's a beautiful cherry tree growing just a few yards from the window of my room, sister. It's on the east side of the temple, so it's the first thing I see in the morning when I look outside. I'd really like you to see it, if you wouldn't mind..."

"...That sounds wonderful," Dahlia's voice smiled. Several more moments passed quietly before she spoke again. "I have to get back now. I'm...sorry again for everything I've done to you, sister..."

"It's...it's alright, really," Iris insisted. "Thank you for coming back to me. We'll see each other again, right?"

"I promise," Dahlia answered.

"I love you, sister..."

"...You too, Iris."

********************

Everyone slept peacefully for the rest of the trip back to Hazakura. Well, everyone except the driver, of course, since the cab would probably crash if he fell asleep. And that would be sad.

[OOC: Yes, I realize this is a double post. I'm just doing this for my own personal organizational indulgence.]

.:.Bikini paid the cabby extra to lug Mr. Lucky from his vehicle and dump him on a bed. All the tags and enchants she'd thrown at him had finally sunk in now that danger was no longer clear and present. Once he was settled and the driver gone Bikini turned to Iris and put on her first relaxed smile of the day.
"The cleaning shouldn't take long. He's a strong boy and I'll bet he'll help me every step of the way as soon as I get the smoke cleared. You should go on to your room and rest." That was more of a command than a suggestion since Bikini immediatly pushed Iris from the room and locked her out of it. She turned to the unconscious Phoenix, stretched a little, and began to pain the kanji around his bed..:.

.:.Situation stable. Relief flooded through Gregor as he watched Phoenix being led away from the scene, presumably where Bikini could finish working on him in peace. Running a hand through his hair, he winced. The forgotten white segment of hair and the seared flesh beneath it had begun to remind him of their existence. Oddly enough, though his scalp still hurt, his hands did not. Perhaps hellfire was primarily a spiritual agent, becoming physical only when exposed to the air. It was then that the obvious hit him. Fire. Many students had lost their sleeping quarters and perhaps even their lives today. The police would label this arson and begin rounding up suspects. Sooner or later, his name would come up. It was only a matter of time. Not only had he been in the vicinity at the very moment the fire started, but he had even fought a woman there and spoken to her in a threatening tone...and her room had been the first to burn. To make matters worse, he didn't live at the dorm so he personally had nothing to lose by burning it. At this rate, it would take a minor miracle to prevent him from being named the prime suspect.

His own predicament immediately faded into the background when he again noticed Emi, wearing her trademark stoic expression. Oh, that's right! She doesn't have a place to sleep tonight! Is there anything I can do for her? ...Yes. I can invite her to stay at my place. It's the least I could do...and it will strengthen my credibility! It was worth a shot. He approached her. "Emi? Has anyone offered you a place to stay yet? If you'd like, I could roll out a sleeping bag and give you my room for the time being. Of course, it's entirely up to you. If you're not comfortable with the idea, that's fine. Just thought I'd let you know that the offer stands. Do with it what you will.".:.

.:.Emi's expression was blank, but then so was her mind. The last events had entered and been filed in the appropriate places. The flames that brimmed her eyes were no longer there and she felt no different than she had before. Her smooth round face turned toward the ashes that she'd been walking to for the past years. Having her walk there would be abruptly removed from her habits now, and abrupt change was not something she handled well. However, if she were going to be out on her own, she would need to make that her new habit.
She turned to Greg without a single sound escaping her lips save her soft breath. She nodded only once and stepped up to him with the intention of following him as if she were nothing more than his shadow..:.

.:.Before she even realized what was happening, Iris found herself face-to-face with the closed guest room door. Not that doors actually have a face to face, of course...

She blinked once, raised her fist to knock in objection to her being thrown out, but stayed her hand inches from the wooden barrier. She was being childish. It's not like she could do anything to help the healing process; she'd just be a distraction. Feenie getting well again was what was important.

Dropping her arm, Iris turned to the entrance behind her, slid it open, and walked in. Even though she'd only left it this morning, it seemed like ages since last she'd been greeted by the sight of her oaken dresser standing directly across from her, the little desk with the diary resting on top sitting in the back left corner, her bed with the lavender-tinted sheets in the back right... The bed was calling to her now, beckoning her to surrender her consciousness to its embrace...but no. She vowed to stay up at least long enough to be sure Sister Bikini's cleansing ritual would be a complete success.

...Still, there wasn't any sense in just standing up the whole time, right?

She shuffled over to the alluring bed and defiantly sat on it. After untying and removing her sandals, she placed her hands firmly on the matress, again showing this pile of wood and cotton who was in charge of when she went to sleep.

As the moments passed silently, Iris began wondering how things were going in the room across from her. Without her knowing, her hands occupied themselves by wandering over the bed. By the time she noticed, one of them had found her pillow.

...Wow. Was it always this soft?

Now that she thought about it, her head did ache a bit, though she couldn't quite recall why. Maybe setting it down would help. She leaned back to rest it on her pillow, eyes to the ceiling...

"Ah!"

Iris flinched and quickly turned her head to the side; the lump on the back of her head she'd forgotten about clearly didn't appreciate having pressure put on it. Despite the new rush of pain going through her head, she decided she'd continue leaving it down until it felt better. But she was definately not going to fall asleep until Feenie's cleansing was complete. She was just resting for a little bit. Nothing more.

...Well, it wouldn't hurt anything to let her eyes rest for a couple minutes....:.

.:.The closed door remained this way. No sounds seeped through the delicate oak. The flicker of dim candle light glinted on the cold floor where the door didn't quite reach the bottom. Once in a while a shadow would pass and disrupt the dance of the orange glow, but for hours nothing else showed even a hint of life in the room.
Then, still as soundless as before, the door opened and someone stepped out. They walked across the wooden floor with soft staggering steps. The figure moved with a little difficulty through the chilled halls, once in a while using a pale hand to steady the slow unsure plodding. The door to Iris' room opened and the unsure feet stopped as the hand reached out to glance the soft cheek of the sleeping woman. Iris' eyes fluttered open and the smile of the man being bathed in the warm sunrise was unmistakable..:.

.:.Tension began to build within Gregor as he awaited Emi's reaction. It was so subtle he almost missed it, but her answer relaxed him as quickly as he'd tensed once he caught on. The silent trust in her nod and approach spoke volumes. His heart ached, but he didn't care. Pain had never been so pleasurable. After taking two breaths to calm the fluttering in his chest, he considered simply leading her to his minivan but thought better of it. "Before we go, is there anything you need to do...anyone you need to notify?".:.

.:.Emi thought on this a moment before giving one quick nod and taking a glossy black phone out of her pocket. Her fingers dialed the number swiftly before she put it next to her ear in a slightly awkward angle. It became apparent why she did this when the voice boomed out of the speaker loud enough for people across the yard to hear if they listened hard enough.
"EMI! YOU CALLED!" The voice was decidedly male, though it used the same tone that over excited cheerleaders tended to get when talking about boys.
"I will be living with Gregor Helmer." She said coldly.
"What? I thought you were staying at the dorm?"
"It burned down."
"BURNED?! ARE YOU OKAY?!"
"Yes."
"Wait. Who the hell is Gregor Helmer?!" The voice demanded. Emi blinked and handed the phone over to Greg, who really only had the chance to say half of hello before being barraged with fierce questions, threats, and accusations.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MY SISTER?! I SWEAR TO GOD IF YOU SO MUCH TOUCH MY SISTER I WILL INJECT AIR INTO YOUR ARTERIES AND BREAK YOUR NECK WHILE YOU'RE SLEEPING! ARE WE UNDERSTOOD GREGOR HELMER?".:.

(OOC: Is that Scott? Ha haaa, this is goinig to be fun. :haykitten:

.:.Gregor had expected questions to be asked when Emi pulled out her phone and dialed, but nothing quite that loud...or ferocious. When he first heard the masculine voice on the other end--and hear it he certainly did--he thought the amplifier was on. When handed the phone, he held it two inches away from his head, but it soon became obvious that that wasn't far enough away.

"Hell--"
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MY SISTER?! I SWEAR TO GOD IF YOU SO MUCH AS TOUCH MY SISTER I WILL INJECT AIR INTO YOUR ARTERIES AND BREAK YOUR NECK WHILE YOU'RE SLEEPING! ARE WE UNDERSTOOD, GREGOR HELMER?"

He involuntarily jerked the phone away from his ear as the voice assailed him. With wide eyes he studied the phone--the voice wasn't letting him speak anyway--and saw that the amplifier was in fact off. Black humor brought a smirk to his face. All I've gotten to say so far is "hell". Now there's a prophecy for you. When his right ear stopped ringing, he noticed the voice had fallen silent. Shock gave way to quiet dignity with just a touch of provocative chutzpah. The concluding sneer had annoyed him enough to give him back a measure of courage.

"May I speak now? I can't very well answer your questions if you won't let me speak and I certainly can't heed your warnings if you render me deaf. ...Thank you. Now, to answer your question about what I'm doing for your sister, I am offering her my room for use as private quarters. By "private" I mean that she will be its only occupant. Anything I need from my room I will take when she is not using it. I personally will be sleeping elsewhere in the house or perhaps in my vehicle. This arrangement is quite temporary, I assure you. Like you, I want nothing but the best for Emi and I will prove it to you a hundred times over if I must. In fact, you could say I owe her my life. I can tell you the story sometime if you wish, as long as you promise not to attack me when I do. That reminds me: I have studied martial arts independently for over ten years and had ample opportunity to put my knowledge to practical use. I think we can agree that you'd rather have my talents working for you instead of against you. Either way, they will be working for Emi whether or not you decide to trust me." A smile played across his face. "Now if I may back up, I seem to remember you asking who the hell I was. I'm a fellow student at Ivy U., a virgin who plans to remain so for at least another year, and believe it or not, generally rather shy. May I ask your name?".:.

.:.The man on the other end laughed rather hard at something that Greg said, however the timing of it made it rather ambiguous towards what sparked it. He'd either been stunned into silence, or he'd waited, as requested, to not speak until Greg was done.
"Ah ha ah ha haaa~." The man settled down and Greg could picture him wiping a tear from his eye. Whatever color it may be. "Scott." He answered with a highly amused tone. "I take it you're the one that got my sister to call me. I should have guessed that she wouldn't do it just because she wanted to tell me about her day." He sighed. "It's a good thing my number is the first one on there. If she'd have called our mother first you'd really be a dead man. In fact, I would suggest not telling her. She's not really the most reasonable woman around. Now as for me, I'm naturally a trusting-hold on a moment." Scott's voice grew silent and in the distance one could hear the rather sick sound of bone snapping. "sort." He finished..:.

.:.After all the 'excitement' of the night that he'd had, Doug suspected that the first thing he'd do was go to his dorm (Which was on the other side of the Uni) and flop on the sofa. But he was wrong. The first thing that he had to do was go to hospital; a paramedic came his way as he was walking back towards his room and escourted him to the nearest ambulance. Doug thought of trying to protest, but when he saw his slightly cracked head in a mirror and his blue lips he went without any trouble at all. A night in the hospital was better than catching hypothermia at any rate. Since it would be a moderately long journey to the hospital, he got out his pocket diary and began to write notes in it:

'Emi- Safe. Being woo'd at the moment by Greg, not seeming to have much of an effect. Still have chance if I pull myself together...Hopefully...
Dahlia- Saved. Need to say goodbye at some point, but mediums freak me out. No Offence to Ms. Bikini intended.
Me-Alive. Probably in hospital overnight, but at least the bloody thing is over.
The others- All got out fine, 'Lucky' Wright and Iris staying at that medium place, dunno about the others.
Vision/Drawing- It wasn't Emi/Dahlia, but that burnt down dorm looks really familiar. Apart from that, I've taken 2 steps back for 1 step forward.
Other: I could REALLY do with a Slushie.'.:.

.:.

The cool fingers Iris felt brush against her face did little to prepare her for the sight waiting at her bedside. When she opened her eyes to it, her heart skipped.
There he was, standing over her like a guardian angel in a pink sweater, beaming affectionately at her with those beautiful blue eyes, his face tinged orange by the early morning light... He'd been through hell recently and it showed, but somehow, at the same time he looked so much more alive, so whole... Illuminated by the radiance of the rising sun as he was, he truly resembled his namesake; it was as if he'd been reborn from the flame.
Iris let loose a dreamy, euphoric giggle as she pushed herself upright on the edge of her bed, then took the hand that had recently caressed her and gently led its owner down next to her. She wrapped her arms around the middle of the man seated on her bed and looked up at his face again. His eyes captured hers for the briefest of moments until she broke the hold by closing hers. She kissed him sweetly, then lowered her face and pressed it into his chest with a blissful sigh.

.:.Phoenix hadn't really said anything to her since he wandered into her room. In truth it was because he could think of nothing to say. It was just so sweet to get to hold her in his arms after he'd been lost and cold for so long that he didn't want to ruin this perfect moment by trying to match it with poetry or other such things he tended to fail at.
The sun continued to rise as he held her, but his eyelids slowly lowered. He was just so tired and she was just so warm. Much too soon he'd fallen asleep sitting next to her. His grip around her chest loosened and his body slumped slightly.

Bikini stood by the doorway and watched them briefly in it's shadow. She'd suspected that he'd use the last bit of his strength to walk in there. He had a long time of recuperation still awaiting him. She'd managed to heal his spirit, but his mind would take more time. He wouldn't be the man that he was anymore as part of him had been consumed by the fire, and what parts had survived was hard to tell. Though she did know that his love for Iris still held firm. She'd used it to pull him out of the ashes he'd been drowning in. If he was still a man worthy of Iris' love was still yet to be seen.
Bikini hobbled out of the doorway and headed for the kitchen. When the two woke up they'd likely be ravenous, and she wanted to be ready. .:.

.:.

When Iris felt her darling Feenie's body grow limp and his embrace weaken, she allowed him to rest against her like that for several minutes. After the twenty-four hours he'd had, it was likely a miracle he'd been with her again at all so soon, let alone awake for the length of time he was. Once she was sure he was completely asleep, she eased him down gently, setting his head in her lap. She smiled down at his dozing face and slid her fingers idly through his hair and along his jawline.
He needed a shave.
The two remained happily together that way for who knows how long until the peace was broken by Iris' stomach gurgling. Fortunately, there wasn't anyone else around conscious to hear it. The disturbance quickly reminded her that she hadn't eaten since lunchtime the day before, and very little even then; the same went for the man sleeping on her. For that matter, Sister Bikini would probably be getting hungry by now as well. Iris decided that making breakfast for everyone would be the least she could do.
She slipped her pillow under Phoenix's head to replace her legs and stood. After stretching the rest of her nighttime stiffness out and pushing some loose, dark hair back behind her ears, she walked quietly towards the door. Before leaving, she paused to look out the open window to her left. The last bits of snow were dripping from the branches of the cherry tree outside, and the buds were preparing to bloom.

.:. Phoenix did indeed sleep. It was a deep one in which there wasn't a single dream or way to wake him from it other than perhaps a bucket of ice cold water.

Bikini was already in the kitchen preparing eggs, sausages, pancakes, and other typical morning fare. It had been a long time since she had to cook for more than just her and Iris, and it seemed she'd overshot just a bit in her estimation as to how much she should make. She hummed as she stood atop her crate and flipped the pancakes in the skillet..:.
