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

He nodded in response.

"Got it." he responded.

"I'll check on them immediately, and send you a mental missive on their condition." he told her.

"Because yes, it seems that this is NOT natural. At all." he stated. "Rowena attacked Rocky, and Vincent seems to not care about it. So Rocky is going to be hiding away in Norway for the time being." he reported.

"And I do not know just how badly the other 2 have been affected." he then admitted.

"Regardless, I'm off." he finished, before quickly taking his leave, leaving her alone in the office.

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

Syraene sighed, heavily, when Leo left her alone. She didn't know what the hell she was supposed to make of this, but she did know that this needed to be handled, and fixed. Quickly.

However, she had no idea what the hell TO do to fix it.

"Right." She muttered before getting to her feet and vanishing from where she was. She appeared in the mana receiving area before stepping out into the entryway. She stepped up to the guard she could see there and sighed.

"Yo. I'm here to talk to Sharp." She stated

"..." Jake was silent for a moment, looking her up and down.

"Okay." he said, flicking his tongue out.

He then buzzed her in, though she could see if was half-hearted.

"Could've just barged in, anyway..." he mumbled.

"Fair warning, boss has barricaded his office." he then told her.

"I know I could have, but I wanted to make sure you were all right." Syraene said simply as she stepped through the door and approached him.

"Seriously, there's some shit goin' down." She added as she reached out as she neared, toward him. She hovered her hand over his sternum, his heart, for a few seconds before sighing, heavily as it dropped a few seconds later.

"You too." She said with a shake of her head.

"And duly noted on the barricades. I'll just go make him open the damned door." She said

Jake paused and raised an eyebrow.

"Me, too?" he asked.

"Some shit?" he asked further, before just sighing lightly.

"At this point nothing surprises me." he admitted, shaking his head.

"And goooood luck with that." he then stated. "He has his best and strongest defenses up." he told her.

"I've seen him stressed, but this is... a bit much." he then shrugged.

"Jacob, your soul is incomplete." Syraene told him honestly.

"And you aren't the only one." She added before pausing and throwing an orb of her mana at him.

"Hopefully that helps for the moment." She stated simply before turning and heading toward the door, knowing she didn't really have the timeto linger for the moment.

Surprisingly enough, she didn't have any interruptions on her way up to the head office. Sure enough, though, she did find it heavily barricaded. With a sigh, she just started knocking, hard and forcefully.

Jake didn't seem to react at all to what she said and did, just let the orb come to him.

And he then felt... slightly better. Enough to look in the direction she had gone with concern.

"...good luck..." he mumbled.

When she had reached the door, and had kept knocking, she heard Hal's voice.

"BUSY! SCRAM!" he yelled, his tone sharp and curt.

That did not stop her, though, as she continued to knock. And knock. Until she was practically pounding at the door. His shouts did nothing to stop her, and eventually, she heard him stomping towards the door.

"WHAT!?" he screamed, as he yanked the door open.

As soon as the door opened, Syraene scowled before just pushing herself into the office, and pushing the darkskinned man that answered with her.

"Sit." She ordered as the door swung closed behind her.

"Now." She added, a certain venom to her voice that if he wasn't going through whatever was plaguing him and others, he likely would have been surpriused to hear.

Hal just looked back at her, and glared.

"Get. Out." he told her.

"I am in charge here, this is MY domain, and you are trespassing." he said.

"Remove yourself from this office, and this building. NOW." he ordered her in return.

"Or I will forcefully remove you, MYSELF." he threatened.

And Syraene could tell this was not hot air. He seemed fully ready to at least try.

Syraene just laughed. She was stressed because of what was going on, and worried along with it. Add on that she was fucking terrified, since all she was and all most Order members were, was nothing BUT a soul... it made sense that her natural elven nature that she tried to suppress was taking the helm here.

"Oh?" She asked, a bit of a smug expression to her face.

"I fucking dare you to try, Haldun." She snarled.

"I dare you."

Hal had to admit, she shocked him a bit with that. He took an unconscious step back, his eyes surprised for a moment, before he narrowed them again and took another step closer towards her.

"Do not test me, dark elf." he hissed.

"I don't care who you are, what you do, or anything like that." he told her.

"I will NOT let you stop this." he finished.

She then saw his mana aura flare up a little, as orbs of arcane energy formed in his palms. He was seriously going to come at her with all he had. And he did. He brought an arm back, and launched it right at her.

great big one on me.

Syraene just sighed before flicking out of existence, causing the orbs to go right past where hse was, and she was unaffected.

She then appeared behind Hal, her hands up at his head.

"Sit." She ordered, her mana swirling around her hands, and his head. He fought it, but that didn't surprise her. If anything, it made it apparent that there was more at play.

And it wasn't hard to detect what, as well.

"Oh fuck this." She growled under her breath before her mana invaded every cell of his being for about five seconds, before mostly leaving, and leaving him relatively clear of any sort of anything. He didn't havehis soul pieced back together, but he at least had some clarity.

"There, now can we talk? Or are you going to continue to try and attack me?" She asked, not moving her hands.

"...." Hal was silent for a moment... a good, long moment... before he turned around and looked at her.

"I... I..." he stammered.

"I just tried to seriously attack and harm you." he realised.

"And right now I am feeling... far less remorse for it than I should. And that should scare me. But at the moment it just makes me feel uneasy." he explained to her, biting his lip.

"Ohhhh, this confuses me." he mumbled.

"And... ah, sorry about... what I tried to do." he apologised.

"Your soul has been hacked apart. I don't blame you." Syraene stated simply, her voice still rather sharp and befitting what she was.

"Now, tell me everything you might know regarding what the fuck happened to you and a lot of others." She continued.

"My daughter is involved."

"What!?" Hal exclaimed.

"Damn it." he cursed. "Of course she is." he growled.

"..." he then paused for a moment, thinking about what could have happened... and started coming up blank.

"I..." he stammered. "I don't know." he told her.

"Seriously, I can't think of ANYTHING that could have gotten her influence into me, or taken pieces of my soul." he admitted further.

"I'm sorry, but... I just... I can't." he lamented.

Syraene just sighed, having expected that.

"Not surprised." She commented.

"However, it's pretty wide spread." She continued.

"A lot of people here, in this building alone and under your employ, have been affected. And I do mean a lot." She added

"..." again, Sharp was silent, before falling back into a nearby chair, and placing a hand over his eye in a frustrated manner.

"Damn it." he cursed.

"I've tried so hard to keep that woman's influence away from this place." he said.

"Was it all for nothing?" he asked. "HOW did she manage to get through these defenses!?" he exclaimed.

"I wish I knew how to help. I wish I could give you more info." he then told her.

"...but if your daughter is involved... then not even THAT avenue will work..." he lamented further.

"Sadly. And I know she's involved because when I was, well, everything from when I arrived, I could feel her presence. Her mana within you." Syraene told him honestly.

"And yes, I realise, it is not ideal. I don't know how it got in here, or anything." She then said.

"Nor do I know how long you'll have clarity for. Those holes in your soul are essentially free real estate. I can't stay here, and once I leave, I know that her mana is going to return. I don't know how quickly, but it will."

Hal just sighed again.

"Somehow, I'm not surprised." he said.

"I'm sorry I won't be any help to you." he apologised.

"But... what can I say? I have NO idea how she managed this." he told her. "Normally I have some reference point, but... I can't think of anything now." he admitted further.

"Seriously, I can't think of anything out of the ordinary. Or anything worth noting." he went on.

"..." he was then silent again, and just shook his head.

"I know." Syraene said.

"Worst part is, chances are there's something blocking it. If I were to utilise your unique skillset to find out, it'd be blocked." She commented. "At least that's my suspicion. I might be dead, but I don't want the accompanying migraine."

"However, I DO want you to put this place on complete and utter lockdown. No one in, no one out." she stated.

"I know I'll be able to get in and out if you use your standard. But I mean beyond that." She paused a moment here.

"I mean completely lockdown. I don't want anyone coming in or out until this fucking thing is fixed. Everything sent or received is through digital media. If food is required, as it will be eventually, that can and will be arranged. But Hal? I want you to make it that you can't even cancel it without my anything. Otherwise Vanessa could make you cancel it and just continue on. We can't have that."
