She just chuckled lightly.

"Very true." She commented.

"However, you'll haeve to do the talking. I can't speak a lick of Spanish." She added with a light laugh as she reached and opened the door, holding it open for him, a parasol sheilding her from the harsh rays of the sun.

"Shall we then?"

♫Turn off my brain, this all feels the same♫

She just chuckled.

"Oh hell yeah." She told him honestly before telling him, in English of course, what it was that she wanted.

As they were off to walk and investigate the area more, to be tourists, they cut through an alley. It was while walking down that alley that their path was blocked.

"You're a necromancer, no?" It was a female, a woman most likely, and shed did not sound friendly.

She was silent, before smirking.

"Perfect." was all that she said before stepping up. There was silence before his companion spoke up.

"Hey!" She exclaimed. The one that was there paused, before smirking.

"Ahh, two for one." She commented.

"And you will be quite a prize as well, what with that eye." She added, an almost sick smirk to her voice.

"... Bast... can we please get the hell out of here?" She asked quietly. "I really don't want to get into problems here."

♫Turn off my brain, this all feels the same♫

The one that was ahead of them just stepped closer with a bit of a laugh.

"It doesn't matter waht you think." She stated before tossing something to the ground at their feet. It burst upon contact with the ground, showering the pair of them in water droplets.

"Soon enough, you won't be thinking much at all. It's quite effective on all forms of life, from human mages, to vampires, to elves." She promised. Sebastien's companion just grabbed his sleeve. She was a vampire, and already starting to not feel right. She couldn't identify why or how, though.

Whomever it was just smirked as she saw them starting to fall. However, as Sebastien said what he did, along with the portal, she growled. She hadn't a chance to say, or do, anything else before they were gone. Moments later, she felt the darkness behind her, and she knew what it meant.

"This failure will cost you." was all that they said, before they were gone as well.

Jordan and Sebastien landed in his room back home, to silence. Jordan was on her knees on the floor, her hands at her head as she was fighting the effects of what they'd been hit with. However, it wasn't hard to tell that it was probably a fight she'd lose eventually, and it likely wouldn't take too long.

"Bitch had daisies in there." She managed to snarl quietly. It didn't have the usual impact it normally would have, however. There was a distinct lack of energy and emotion to her words, her face even. Then again, she was completely of this plane. Bast, on the other hand, was not, thanks to his mother, and Jordan realised that he was most likely faring notably better than he was.

Thankfully, even she had some resistances to that mix. It did not mean that she was immune, sadly, and she was just relieved that they were back somewhere safe for the moment, somewhere that she wouldn't need to worry about being taken advantage of - even if she knew that Sebastien very much could. She trusted him, and his father .... his mother was probably the least trustworthy one, and she still trusted the woman.

So as she felt herself starting to fade more despite her attempts to prevent or fight it, she knew that she'd be safe.

Jordan, considering what was going on with her for the moment, didn't have the wherewithall to properly realise what it was that she'd just heard, or what it was that was going on with Sebastien. She had her own things to deal with, like the encroaching emptiness along with her eye going a bit out of control.

Sebastien's mother, meanwhile, was in the basement, painting when he called out. She looked up to the ceiling before getting to her feet and making her way upstairs. She knew where he was, she could feel his presence.

Once she reached the room, she didn't even bother to knock before opening the door and stepping inside. As she did so, Bast felt the pendant that hung at his collarbone pulse, causing his mana to be frozen in place. It was a safety feature they'd all agreed upon when he was a child. His mana was a bit volatile, and his father insisted on a means of stopping any potential issues.

She didn't say anything though, but that really wasn't something unexpected, she wasn't really one for words.

"Damn." was all she said before sighing and pulling her phone out of her pocket. She didn't do much, other than dial a number, hit call, and wait.

"Yo, long time not talk. Not that it really matters. I need your expertise." She stated simply.

"Pretty damned sure there's some doll daisy extract or something else akin to that in play here and a counter would be lovely."

♫Turn off my brain, this all feels the same♫

She was silent as she hung up the phone, looking toward her son.

"Wthe hell happened to you two?" She asked, knowing she wasn't going to get an answer as the woman who had been working with who she called just met his gaze.

"What's going on?"was all she asked. "If you have the time to answer." followed another second or two later.

♫Turn off my brain, this all feels the same♫

She was silent for a moment before sighing, heavily.

"Don't forget the ember weed, you need the heat to act as a catalyst." She told him.

"Beyond that, I trust you know what you are doing, and I can manage here, myself, for a bit." She confirmed with a nod.

"Go, take care of them."

♫Turn off my brain, this all feels the same♫

There was silence that met him for a moment before he heard footsteps. A few seconds later, he saw the black-haired woman he expected.

"Come on." She said simply before leading him up to the room in question

"I have no idea how the hell they ended up like this, just that they arrived and need some help that I can't adequately provide."
