Forgive, O Lord,
my little jokes on thee...

"Done deal, then." Rene told her.

"I can teach general fighting and combat. Like, SUPER basic stuff, as lantha combat is... quite different from others when you delve below the surface, but certain ground rules are the same." he said.

"I know people that fight with different kinds of blades, those proficient in various unarmed styles, just let me know what kind of thing everyone here will want to be good with, and I can set up sessions." he went on.

"But if there's anyone here that wants to be an all-rounder, jack-of-all-trades-master-of-none, I can handle that more than well enough."

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

Kaia nodded.

"That's fair." She commented.

"And would be good anyway. Just so we can at least handle ourselves ---" She started before pausing.

"Handle yourself? What, you planning on going off and fucking some other lady while I'm not around K?" A new voice asked.

"Huh? Oh, Hey Vae." Kaia greeted with a wave.

"And no. Talkin' to Rene about combat and shit." She answered.

"Huh. Fair. Y'all should learn to fight in one way or another. Agreed." Vae agreed with a nod as she dropped her ass onto the couch before pausing.

"all right, tell me." She started, looking around slightly.

"What the hell is with the corruption I feel in the air?"

Rene was silent for a moment, unpacking what had just transpired, before deciding to merely focus on the last question.

"Over there." he said, gesturing in the direction of the locked door Emelie was behind.

"Emelie Raziel is in there." he informed her. "And that corruption you say you feel is coming from a strange halo-like headgear that seems to be firmly attached to her noggin." he continued.

"And that... thing... is the ONLY mana inside her." he went on.

"None of her own mana. At ALL. In ANY and ALL senses of that statement." he stressed.

"Seems she showed up here all beaten and battered. I was called in, fixed her injuries, tried to remove it, ended up being flung back and suffered serious nerve/muscle confusion, and a brief surge of sheer hatred for everything. Though THAT was VERY brief." he assured her further.

Vae was silent.

"... Son of a bitch." She said quietly as she got to her feet.

"I'm going to get that damned halo off of her before there is irreparable damage done." She then said.

"And then I'll answer the questions that I'm sure you'll have." She added before heading off. She unlocked the door and vanished within. A matter of two minutesor so, if that, later, the corruption beacame far more concentrated. And then Vae returned, not locking the door.

"She'll be fine." She stated before looking to Kaia.

"You're bounty hunter cousin. Can I get his number?" She asked.

"Huh? Oh, yeah. Here. He's in my contacts as AJ." the vampire said before tossing the phone over to Vae, who caught it.

"Thanks." She said simply before finding 'AJ' and calling him as she walked off for some privacy.

"No. I'm not Kaia. Yes. This is her phone. No. You do not know me. I daresay you need to come sing to take care of this ring." She said. Yes, there was a lot of information, and yes, there was some crypticness there, but she was sure that he could figure it out.

"At the Theatre." She added.

"I can meet you upstairs and fill you in."

Rene was silent as he heard all this, before nodding.

"Ah... well, all right then." he said.

"The main thing is that Emelie isn't being affected by it." he told her.

"And I'll wait on my questions until Ash gets here." he then added.

Meanwhile, Ash groaned as he hung up and phone, and slowly trudged his way out of bed, wiping the sweat off his forehead.

"Urrrgh..." he mumbled, forcing himself to stand up, and labouriously put his jeans on over the boxers he was wearing.

"Duty calls." he told himself, before walking out of the bedroom.

"Lindsay? Ashleigh?" he called out.

"What's up?" Ashleigh asked as she looked over, having been getting a drink.

"Didn't expect you to be up." She admitted. "You ok?' There was definite concern to her voice, as well.

"Your brother is in his office, trying not to freak out as Casey's been silent for a few days."

"....oh, terrific." Ash muttered.

"And I've just been feeling like crap since I helped out Anna and Rene with Kelly." he told her. "I absorbed a lot of the heat from her, and started to feel a little off, then Mom told me to go home and relax and stuff, so I have been." he said further.

"Can't help with Casey, though." he mumbled.

"Anyway, I need to go to Kaia's theatre troupe and deal with a situation regarding a Fallen halo." he then told her.

"The one that called me seemed pretty adamant about my getting there ASAP. So I just wanted to tell you I'm headed there now."

Ashleigh was silent for a moment.

"Well, then... I guess you should get going." She said after a moment.

"I hope things are all right there, if nothing else." She then said.

"But go. Do what you need to." She added.

"Let me know if something serious happened though, hey?"

"All I can do is go and see." Ash responded.

"See ya." he told her, stepping back slowly and disappearing in a burst of black flames. He appeared at the ticket booth area, his mana able to get through the barriers, and almost fell over from being disoriented.

"Woah..." he mumbled, shaking his head a little and righting himself.

He then started to make his way further inside.

"Hello!?" he called out.

He was left alone for a bit before someone walked in. Her darker skin and her ridiculously dark red hair made her stand out, especially with her almost vampiric red eyes.

"Yo." She greeted with a wave before motioning for him to follow her. She led him off to another room, out of anywhere that someone could find them easily.

"Here." She said as she held her hand, and wrist, out to him.

"I can't do anything about it, being what I am." When Ash looked, he saw the halo that was there.

"Also, That was removed from Emelie."

Ash almost fell over when she mentioned it had come from Emelie.

"WHA-" he started to exclaim, before stopping himself.

"What!?" he whispered panickily, looking at the halo and then taking the halo off of her wrist. He held it in his hands for a moment, before exerting pressure on it with both his hands. Sweat started to bead up and drip down his forehead and face at a surprising rate, before he finally managed to crush it into a gem.

He was breathing heavily for a couple of seconds, and pocketed the gem.

"I'll... send that up later." he told her.

"But Emelie!? She's here!?" he asked the woman.

The woman nodded.

"Yes. She is. Not in the best of shapes, but K got her doctor friend in to check in on her and such." She told him.

"Ah, right, Name's Vaeri if you care." She adde.

"Want to come downstairs and see Emelie?" She then asked.

"Nice to meet you, Vaeri." Ash responded.

"I'm sure you already know this, but I'm Ash." he introduced himself.

"...and yes. Yes I do." he then told her.

"Everyone's been worried SICK over her disappearance." he said to her further, as the two started to leave the room.

"We've been wondering what the Heaven, Hell, and everything in between, HAPPENED."

"She's still out cold last I saw," Vaeri told him honestly, "However, you can at least see she's alive. But... warning." She paused a moment as she started to a door he hadn't noticed.

"She's... she's lost her position." She then said.

"And all her mana. She's a mortal." She added as she opened the door, stepping through it and waiting for Ash to follow before closing it behind him and starting down the hall.

"She has no presence, no mana, nothing."

When she said that, she saw Ash's eyes widen considerably, horror permeating his entire expression, as he stumbled and almost fell, but somehow managed to correct himself... albeit ungracefully.

"...what." he stated.

"Oh, those damned Fallen." he growled.

"That damned Michael." he continued, before looking at her.

"Not sure HOW much you know, but the Fallen are cooperating as a cohesive team. And we're 99% sure that Michael is in the process of falling as well, and is acting as their leader." he explained.

"That's what I've heard here on the surface." Vaeri told him with a nod.

"However, I haven't seen anything, explicitly saying that." She then said. "Or obviously, rather."

"Confirming? Oh whatever. I'm still trying to figure out English." She added with a shrug.

"regardless, yeah. That's what I've heard." She paused a moment.

Ash nodded in response.

"I getcha." he said. "I'll watch what I say around here." he promised her.

"...but at least we know where Emelie IS now. That's SOME form of progress." he then reasoned. "Not... sure how comforting it is, but... it's something?" he shrugged.

"Look, we're on our way to legitimate Ragnarok, I'll take whatever I can get at this point." he then told her bluntly.

"EVERYONE in ALL the realms are on board with stopping this."

"I'm sure my sister and I are down to help too. I know I am." Vaeri said as she opened another door, leading to the room where Rene and Kaia were.

"Yo." She said simple. Kaia looked over.

"Ash? What the hell are yoi doing HERE? Babe, why'd you want to call him anyway?" Kaia asked.

"Uh... if I said 'reasons', can we please leave it at that?" Vaeri asked. Kaia just sighed.

"Sure sure, keep your secrets." There was no animosity or whatever to Kaia's voice as she said that, though.

Ash just sighed.

"What she said." he said further.

"Plus, Emelie IS the main medic of the guild I work at." he then told Kaia. "So I DO have a vested interest in her location and well-being." he reasoned.

"...speaking of medics..." Rene then said. "You look like shit." he told him.

"Yeah, started happening after I helped lower Kelly's insane temperature by absorbing her heat." Ash responded.

"..." Rene was silent for a moment, before cursing loudly.

"YOU have that damned parasite now." he growled.

"Parasite? What?" Vaeri and Kaia asked in unison.

"What's going on now?" Kaia asked, her voiec curious, concerned.

"Seriously. And is there anything I can do to help?"
