One.. by... one.
They only fall... a-part.
Can it be.. undone?

Hal has a healthy fear of Madison right now, but he knew he had to say something. He couldn't just let her go on like this.

"I agree she needs to be stopped." he said.

"But finding her is much easier said than done." he told her.

"I agree, necromancy may just be the solution to this problem, but can you do it on your own?" he asked. "And can you even FIND her?" he asked further.

"We've tried all we can, but her location seems to be perfectly concealed. We don't know where to start." he lamented.

"Do you have ANY plans for your solution?"

Madison was silent for a moment, looking over to Hal, her one blue eye seeming to be glowing.

"As far as I know, she's hunting for necromancers." She told him. "I'll go make my presence in the mana world known, draw her to me." She paused a moment, smirking slightly as a chain appeared around her wrist as she brought her hand up.

"I'm hoping this little hell from my past would help to protect me a bit from her mana." She added. "Although if she's got a brain, she'll want to work with me without getting her mana too involved."

"...." again, Hal was silent for a moment.

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

"I can't... fault that." he said.

"But this plan seems... risky. To massively understate it." he went on.

"I really wish I had a better idea." he then said, sounding angry at himself.

"But I can't think of anything ELSE to do for this situation."

Madison was silent for a moment before sighing.

"I wish you could think of something else." She then said before pausing. "Or at least could see where I'm coming from more completely." She added.

"Sorry for jumping on that, but you literally just wished for it yourself, and I know you can't do it yourself." She added with a light smirk, and a sigh.

"I just wish that something, anything, could be done to guarantee that this would go well. However, I'm not so sure there IS anything." She added before pausing.

".... where can I set up for a rune? I need to see if I can find Gregory." She then said. "I've vanished, I don't think he's going to take that well, at all."

"...." Hal was silent again, and sighed.

"I can try." he said, snapping his fingers.

And nothing happened. None of them even flinched.

"...this is the best option, sadly." he lamented.

"And we have several rooms for things like that." he told her.

"I can get one of my agents to escort you to one." he offered. "Agent King brought you here, he could take you to one of the rooms." he reasoned.

"... Ty also said he'd bring me a bite to eat, so he'd be good, yeah." Madison agreed before pausing.

".... uhhh, might... I request the ability to stay here for now?" She asked. "I just realised that I have nowhere to go, and can't use my mana for transport easily at all. So if I can't stay here, I know I can stay with my daughter, either of them, but have no easy means of getting there. So could you help with that, if not a place to stay?"

"Please...?"

Hal just smiled.

"You are free to stay here if you like." he told her. "We have plenty of empty dorms." he assured her.

"If you'd prefer to stay with one of your daughters, we can arrange for transport there for you, but you are more than welcome to claim a place here." he offered her.

"Just let me know which you think would be best." he finished.

He then paused for a moment and started to dig for a card key, should she choose to stay at the Unit.

"I..." Madison started before sighing.

"Honestly, I think it'd be bettter that I stayed here, for now at least. You have more resources I can tap into if I need." She commented.

"And beyond that, I ... don't think I want to get my girls involved for the moment." She added with a sigh.

"So yeah, the ability to stay here for a bit would be ... entirely appreciated."

Hal nodded in response.

"Fair points." he said.

He then pulled out a card key, and handed it to her.

"Here you go." he told her.

"Ty will be able to show you to your room as well." he went on.

"And... anywhere else you may need to go."

"Thank you." Madison said, gratitude in her oice.

"I don't know how long I will be here, as I do need to go and try and fix this, but... at least for now, I appreciate it." She added.

"Ah, one last thing. ... do you happen to have Vincent Remmington's number? I ... uhh... don't."

Hal nodded.

"I do." he responded.

Do you want me to write it down for you, or would you just prefer to call him here and now?"[/b] he asked.

"I'll let you use my phone if you wish." he offered.

"I know you and he had a history together." he then said.

"Both he and Hollie have mentioned it in the past."

"Write it down please. I'll call him after I try and contact Gregory. Better to have all the possible information than just pieces." Madison answered with a sigh.

"Thanks." She added with a lighjt sigh.

"This is definitely not ideal, but ... I appreciate it none-the-less. Once I have any sort of information for what it is that is going on, I'll let you know, too."

"Very well." Hal responded, as he grabbed a scrap of paper and wrote it down for her.

"You said Ty is coming for you with food?" he asked, handing it to her.

"Yeah." Madison replied.

"Then I don't need to call him up here. He'll make his way here soon enough." Hal reasoned.

"...would you care for some basic changes in clothing?" he asked.

"Even if just 3 or 4 different outfits to cycle through, as well as sleepwear?" he offered.

Madison was silent as she looked to what she was wearing.

"That... would be appreciated." She admitted.

"Because this all probably should get washed." She added after a moment or two.

Hal said nothing, and grabbed a form from a filing cabinet. He wrote some things down, ticked off a few boxes, and then signed his name on it, before handing it to her.

"Here." he said. "This will let you go to our supply department, specifically, the clothing and disguises section, and grab what you need." he told her. "At most, you'll be able to grab a few day's worth of shirts, jeans, pants, socks, underwear, whatever, and whatever you feel is comfortable to sleep in, as well as any extras you feel you require." he explained.

"The dorms are furnished, with bedding and towels and such, as well as a minimum of toiletries and such in the bathrooms." he continued. "We like them to be prepared for any short-term notice." he chuckled.

"Washing facilities are located on each floor of dorms, but I'll let Ty explain that all." he then went on.

"Oh, right, and here." he suddenly said, handing her a lanyard with a card attached to it.

"Visitor's pass and I.D."

Madison accepted what he'd handed her with a nod.

"thank you so much. Just... thank you." She said.

"I'll have to repay you at some point in the the future." She added.

"Anyway, I'll get out of your .. uh... way." She continued, "I'm sure you're a busy man."

"We do what we can." Hal said with a smile.

"And don't feel the need to leave on MY account." he then told her. "Feel free to stay until-" he continued, before his receptionist buzzed him.

"Agent King here to see you." she said.

"Tell him Madison's on her way out to meet him." Hal replied with a light chuckle, before turning to Madison.

"Timing." was all he said in regards to that.

"Feel free to come see me if you have any questions or concerns." he finished.

Madison nodded.

"Of course. Thanks again." She said before sighing and looking to the chain around her wrist. She shook it, hoping to make it vanish, but quickly realised that it was there to stay.

"Oh well. See ya." With that, she waved and headed out to find Ty.

"Yo." She greeted.

"Bye for now." Hal responded, his mind drifting to the chain that was around her wrist.

"..." he was silent for a moment, sighing quietly, shaking his head, and getting back to work.

"Oh, hey." Ty greeted Madison back.

"...looks like you'll be staying with us for a bit." he commented, noticing the tag and the card key.

"Suppose you'll want to eat in your dorm." he said further.

"I'll show you there." he said.

"There anyplace else you need to go beforehand?"

"Yeah. First place is somewhere that I can, well... eat... because I'm doing that first, and then I need to do some necromancy to test something, followed by somewhere to get some clothing, and then, finally, the dorm." Madison answered.

"... and if there is anything else that I really should know about the location for." She added.

"Mostly, I need somewhere to test something, and it involves my necromancy."
