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

Lindsay looked between Jordan and Rocky, before sighing lightly.

"Yeah, sure." he replied.

Ash then popped his head out the door, and noticed their Aunt.

"Oh, hey Aunt Rocky." he greeted her.

"Yeah, she was just here to tell me something to pass on, and was about to skedaddle quickly." Lindsay commented.

"Aw." Ash muttered. "That's no fun." he said, pausing a moment.

"...and a little on the worrying side." he added.

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

"That would be because it is worrying." Rocky admitted.

"However, I'm not going to keep you. I'm going to head off. You guys enjoy your picture day." She said with a wave.

"If you need me, Lindsay knows where I can be found. See ya." With she stepped back and was about to vanish, but as the magic swirled... Jordan snapped as many shpts as she could. Sure, it wasn't too many, but she still wanted to try and get at least a good shot of the fires and her.

Ash and Lindsay looked at Jordan as she frantically snapped away with the photos, before Ash spoke up.

"Okay, okay, okay." he said.

"Calm down with the trigger finger there, ace." he told her, as the woman disappeared fully, reappearing in her Salem home. When she looked around, she saw that Leo was still there... but mere seconds later, he 'came to'.

With a familiar startled yell.

"..." he was silent as he looked around, and saw Rocky there.

"Well, guess I don't need to write it." he muttered.

"Agent Sharp has been affected." he confirmed. "Far greater than the other 3."

Rocky just sighed, heavily.

"That... " She started as she sat down on the couch.

"Do you have any suggestions for how to deal with this?" She asked, her voice curious

"Becausse... This is terrifying. Hal being affected is even more terrifying." She added.

"Since ... Fuck. If the head of the Unit is compromised, that is NOT good."

"I know." Leo responded.

"And no, I DON'T know how to deal with this." he told her. "I don't even know what could have CAUSED this, so finding a counter for it would be... practically impossible." he lamented.

"However, I am going to Miss Syraene with this." he then assured her further.

"She might have some ideas, she might not... but she needs to know." he reasoned, shaking his head.

"Anyway, are you all right?" he asked. "You look a little... I dunno, out of sorts..." he commented.

"Then again, not surprising, considering what all you and I have just learned." he then admitted with a small sigh.

"I..." Rocky started before sighing.

"Yeah. Yeah I think I'm all right." She told him.

"I think it's just... fully hitting me, maybe? I'm not sure."She admitted.

"Plus I had a rather uncomfortable unexpected flash in the eyes from a damned camera."

Leo nodded along with what she said, before pausing.

"...wait, what?" he asked.

"Flash? Camera?" he asked further, clearly a bit confused.

"I admit, that is... NOT something I expected to hear about you visiting Ash and Lindsay..." he continued.

"What... happened?" he inquired.

"Like, can you elaborate on that?"

Rocky was silent for a moment. For some reason, she found herself debating whether to tell him or not, and she had no idea why.

"Oh, Desiree and Jaden's kid, Jordan, was there taking their photos." She told him honestly.

"She got a few surprise shots of me, as well." She added before shrugging.

"Not ideal, but it's not like I have anything to hide."

Leo raised an eyebrow.

"...huh." he muttered.

"If I recall correctly, she was having dreams about getting a new camera or something, since her old one was dying or dead." he commented. "Guess she finally got it." he shrugged.

"Anyway, yeah, we got BIG problems." he mumbled.

"I need to report to Miss Syraene, and YOU need to hide away." he told her.

"Because if things continue going the way this seems to be going, this world is going to go to hell. Fast."

Rocky nodded.

"Yeah. Ok." She said.

"You do that, I'm going to grab what little I ... might be able to from home and head to Norway." She commented, sighing, heavily.

"Take care of yourself, hey?" She asked.

"Just... let's not break Nakia's heart. Keep her safe too."

Leo just nodded slowly in response.

"I know." he said. "I have no intentions of that happening." he told her.

He then paused again, scratching at his chin.

"Also, I'd say you have another 2 hours to get what you need from your home." he reported. "The stuff I used to knock out Vincent and Rowena will last for a bit." he reasoned.

"So yeah, use that time wisely." he warned.

"Make sure you snag what you need, so you don't have to go back there for a good long while, potentially."

"Thank you, Leo." rocky said, some nerves to her voice.

"I'm going to go do that. Just... pass the information to Syraene, and I really do hope that we can figure out what is going on sooner rather than later." With that, she made her way over, gave him a hug, and vanished in a burst of heat.

Leo was now alone, and knew he had to head off to give the information.

He was silent for another moment, before grabbing the rest of the tea he had left, drinking it rather hastily, and then making his way to the kitchen. He gave the mug a quick clean and a rinse before putting it in the drying rack, sighing, and disappearing from where he was. He appeared back in his home in Egypt, made his way to the couch, sat down in it, and 'left', knowing Nakia would know what was happening.

He then found himself in what looked to be a cross between an office building, and an ivory temple. It was weird to behold, but... the creator had odd tastes. He quickly made his way to a room in specific, where he saw it was rather... crowded. People were all trying to say something, while a dark-skinned elf was sitting behind the deck in the back, looking quite unimpressed and frazzled.

Leo gritted his teeth, clenched his hands into fists, and then unclenched one of them, bringing his fingers together by the tips, making a circle, and bringing it to his mouth. Once he did, he let out a whistle that was shrill enough to calm EVERYONE down. Quickly.

"Everyone. I need to speak with Miss Syraene. NOW." Leo told them, everyone seeing a seriousness and command in his demeanour that was... honestly never seen.

"If you refuse, I hereby invoke my right as second-in-command to have an emergency meeting with the head of the Order, no matter the circumstances." he added, flexing a power he had that... he had never used before.

great big one on me.

The elf in question just sighed, heavily.

"Thank you. I've been trying to get all of them to shut up for the past ... I don't even know how long." She commented, her voice harsher than he'd expected to hear.

"Clear out! Otherwise I will get Chronos down here, and you lot know he won't be happy about it." She then barked. That seemed to do the trick, now that her voice was actually audible above everyone else trying to scream whatever at her.

After they'd all cleared out, she looked to Leo.

"Let me guess. You're here regarding souls."

Leo paused for a moment, before closing the door behind him, and nodding.

"I am." he responded, stepping forward, closer to her now.

"And the fact that you're asking about souls in specific... or... rather, that you were able to specifically assume why I am here... means that this is not something that just the people I checked are going through." he lamented.

"Who." Syraene practically demanded.

"..." Leo was silent for a split-second, biting his lip slightly. He knew she wouldn't want to hear this, but he had to.

"Vincent Remmington. Hollie Remmington. Rowena Fyrane. Hal Sharp." he listed off, succinctly and informatively.

Syraene was silent before looking like she wanted a punch a wall. Being what she was, a dark elf, really was showing at this point. They weren't known for their even tempers, after all.

"All right." She stated simply, and calmly.

"Check on Sherwood for me, will you?" She asked. "Along with Victoria, make sure that at least the Triad is ok, and Hollie's replacement."

Leo nodded in response.

"I shall do so right now." he told her, before pausing.

"And when I get back, I have some more info about those affected." he then said. "Something I noticed when I was checking up on them." he said further, but then sighed.

"However, I'll tell you AFTER checking on those you've told me to." he stressed.

"I assume you'll be remaining here for the time being?" he then asked.

"Give me the other information first." Syraene told him.

"I need to do a few things in response to this, so if you have more information, tell me now, then go." She added.

"However, I expect that those I asked you to check on will be fine. From what I can tell, from the reports I've received, it's pretty limited for location."

Forgive, O Lord,

Leo paused again, and nodded.

"Right." he replied.

"Well, as I'm sure you've noticed, souls have been being... taken. Piece by piece." he told her. Syraene just looked unimpressed, as he was not telling her anything new. "And it seems like it's random. No souls are missing the same collection of pieces as another." he went on.

"...but I've noticed that, in all the souls I've checked, they're always missing one piece. And it's the one piece missing that they all share." he continued.

"And it seems to be the piece where things like... oh, how do I put it...?" he wondered. "Critical thinking? Wariness?" he said further.

"Basically, with that little piece gone, the victims are a lot more likely to just let something slide."

Syraene was silent for a moment.

"Meaning that chances are this is something that is being caused, not a natural occurrence." She commented with a heavy sigh.

"All right. You go check on those two, and then go home. However, keep yourself on call for if you're needed. I don't know what should be expected from this, and I want all hands on deck."
