Vincent was silent, before nodding.

"...you do that." he said.

"This... this isn't good." he repeated.

"The natural balance has been thrown off." he said further.

"This will cause chaos."

"What I want to know, is how... why?" Hollie commented.

"Because... this..." She sighed heavily.

"This scares me." She admited. "This is unnatural, and the grand design, whatever that is, is seriously at risk now."

"I know." Vincent said grimly.

"If this continues, then the world itself will be thrown into literal chaos." he said.

"It will be a domino effect. Slow to start, but it will get bigger extremely rapidly." he went on.

"...damn it." he then cursed, shaking his head.

"Just... damn it."

"We need to figure this out." Hollie said. "We need to figure out how to fix this." She added with a shake of oher head.

"For now, I need to look into this." She then said.

"I'll talk to you later." With that, she knocked her staff to the floor, vanishing on the third.

Vincent watched her go, and sighed.

"...Madison." he then mumbled.

"Where ARE you?" he asked.

"WHAT is going on?" he wondered further, not even knowing how to begin to track her or try and find her.

She woke with a start, pain wracking through her for a few seconds. It faded after a few seconds, which was good, and she as able to breathe as she got to her feet.

"What the hell happened?" She wondered, looking around. She was in an alleyway, wtih the busy city around her.

As she looked around, she noticed that she didn't have her bear, the same one she usually had with her. It was odd, but ... considering how she felt, she really wasn't surprised.

"All right, scarf. Lead me somewhere safe, will ya?" She asked the material around her neck quietly. Sure enough, it moved to point her in a direction, subtley. It could easily be mistaken as from the wind, thankfully.

She walked up to the building and stepped inside to meet the front desk.

"Hey there Jacob." She greeted with a wave.

"Any chance Sharp is in?" She asked. "I need to speak with him."

Jake paused as he looked from his paper to her.

"..." he was silent, narrowing his eyes a little, before they widened.

"You... when I was dying the one time, you stepped in to tell that reaper guy to stop being an asshole and making me think it was my time." he remembered.

She remembered it, too. Gregory decided to have a bit of fun with Jake when a mission went sour, but she stepped in and gave the reaper a small scolding.

"...he IS in, yes." he then said.

"Why are you going through ME?" he asked.

"I'm reasonably certain that this is beter to go through the proper channels to speak with him, instead of just arriving there." She answered with a small smile.

"And please, 'you'? My name is Madison." She added with a light laugh. "And the other guy is Gregory, and he's an asshole."

"Now, could I get in? Or do you need something from me for it?"

Jake's tongue darted out from his mouth, and she saw his confused expression.

"...ah..." he stammered.

"All right, your mana seems familiar... vaguely... from that one encounter... but it also seems like it's radically different at the same time... but also, it feels so very familiar for reasons I can't explain." he went on, unaware he was smelling the familiarity for when Casey had been there a few times in the past, as well as Evan, once or twice.

"Normally we require I.D. for this, but... I..." he then stammered further.

"is there anyone here that you think could identify you definitively?" he asked.

"Because if so, I can get them here to confirm who you are, and you can go with them." he said.

"Unless you DO happen to have I.D."

"My ID is only thirty years out of date." Madison answered.

"Also, name's Madison Kiczys, and I'm dead, how the hell am I suppose to HAVE ID?" She asked with a laugh.

"But... Azazel, Ezekiel, Tyson, or possible Roxanna would know me." She added after a moment.

"Ty's probably best. Or Lunet. I've seen them both a fair bit. Ty most so though, because he has an addiction to dying, I think."?

"...yeah, sounds like him." Jake sighed, before pressing the intercom button.

"Agent King to security check. Agent King, security check." he said.

"And Kiczys..." he then mumbled, releasing the button.

"Oh!" he exclaimed.

"Related to Casey Kiczys and HER son." he guessed.

"She's been here a few times to spruce up this place with art, and I think Evan's been looking for work in this city, and has been here a few times to use some of the resources and tools we offer." he went on.

"Or to visit Kiah." he added at the end.

"I'm not surprised that Evan's been around. His love is nearby, and if I recall correctly, he's looking to hopefully move into the city to be closer for Blaire's sake." Madison commented.

"But yes. Casey is my daughter." She then said. "Along with Kalin."

"She loves this place, too. If it weren't for the fact that she hates the country, she'd move down here in a heartbeat, as she finds it to be rather gorgeous in the right areas."

Jake just sighed.

"I agree." he said.

"But hey. This is where my heart is. This is home." he shrugged.

It was at that point, Ty stepped into the area.

"Hey, what's-" he started to ask, before pausing abruptly.

".....Madison?"

Madison looked over to Ty and waved.

"Hey there." She said. "Jacob here wants you to verify that I am who I claim to be." She added after a moment or two.

"IF you'd be so kind to help me out in that regard?"

Ty was silent for a moment, and then nodded.

"Yeah." he said.

"I'd know that scarf and its movement anywhere." he told Jake.

"It's unmistakable. That's Madison." he confirmed.

"All right." Jake then said.

"In ya go." he told the woman.

"Thank you." Madison said to Jake with a soft smile.

"Care to walk with me, Ty?" She asked.

" I don't know the layout here as well as one might think I would." She added with a shrug, as she stepped into the building proper once she was allowed in.

The door shut behind her, and Ty nodded.

"Of course." he responded.

"I can't say no to a lady." he told her with a small smile.

"...obvious question." he then said as they walked.

"Why are you coming to us? And in this way?" he asked her.

"Can't you just appear before Sharp?"

"Because I can't." Madison answered honestly.

"Never had a handle on using my mana in that manner before." She added after a moment or two.

"I tried, but ... well, not easy. And even then, I woke up in the middle of the city, so it was easier to just come here."

"...woke up?" Ty asked.

"I don't like the sound of that." he said.

"It actually sounds like there's a bit of a problem going on." he continued.

"...then again, why else would you be here?" he then asked rhetorically with a sigh.

"Oh well, I just hope we're able to help."

"I hope so too." Madison agreed with a sigh.

"I don't know what happened, and I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't scared." She added.

"Suffice to say, I don't want to be dead, but ... I really should be. For some reason, I'm alive." She continued. "Completely and utterly alive."
