"....I hope so, too." Darrel responded.
He was then silent, and thought for a moment.
"Hey." he said.
"Let's get Evan to help us look." he suggested.
"I mean, he's taking this just as hard as I am." he went on.
"And the more people we have scavenging for info, the better, yeah?"

Kelly nodded.
'You... approach Alice about getting access to her books. I'll go talk to my cousin." She said.
"All right?" She paused, debating if she could actually trust what it was that he would say for the moment. Normally, he trusted him, yes, but she knew that emotions were running high for the moment.
"Start there, hit up the council after I think."

Darrel thought for a moment, and nodded.
"Sure." he replied.
"I'll do that." he told her.
He then looked like he was plotting something, before he let out a defeated sigh.
"Yeah, I'll do it." he repeated quietly.
"Want me to ask about Luke as well?" he asked her, seeming to have a moment of clarity.
"Sure." he replied.
"I'll do that." he told her.

Kelly was silent for a moment before just sighing.
"Please..." She said quietly. he could hear the pain in her voice far clearer than he would have expected to hear. Kelly wasn't an emotional person, had learned from her parents how to hide things under the surface. She had a natural mask she wore, so to speak, yet wasn't one to hide everything.
Granted, that didn't mean that seeing, hearing, her being so concerned, so broken, was quite... an affair. It was something that wasn't normally seen.
'I worry... Last I heard, Alice was doing all she could for him, but .... I haven't heard anything for awhile..."

Darrel just nodded slowly.
"All right." he replied.
"Let's head out ASAP." he told her. "We can't waste any time." he reasoned.
Evan, meanwhile, was looking over some VERY specific texts. Texts that nobody knew he had. Texts that bordered on forbidden, but weren't. Yet.
"I WILL find a way to stop that bastard." he muttered to himself.
"I WILL save Samantha." he went on.
"And I will do whatever it takes." he finished ominously.
"All right." he replied.

"You'll leave her to die as she is." Kelly said from the doorway, making her cousin jump like a cat.
"She's likely what is keeping a certain bringer at bay for the moment." She added with a light sigh.
"Evan, come on. We've got bigger fish to fry." She paused, looking the tomes he had over.
". . . . . Pretty sure that one," she pointed toward one that was in pristine condition, and seemed to exude darkness, "is illegal to have."
"I know there are only three of them in the world, and one was destroyed last century. How'd you manage that one?"

Evan panicked for a moment, before scrambling to hide various things... the tome she mentioned, especially. However, he soon realized it was pointless.
She'd seen it.
So he then sighed, and shook his head slightly.
"It... well... it's not... it's not TOTALLY illegal." he told her.
"I found it through some... er... well... connections." he said. "And I have this under the clause of preserving history!" he went on.
"......." he was then silent, his eyes shifting from left to right.
"Besides, it's legality continues to bounce back and forth, so... I mean, it's so fluid that it doesn't matter?" he finished, forcing a smile.

"Uh huh." Kelly started, not saying anything more than that before shrugging.
"Come on." She then said.
"Let's go. We've gotta go do some reading." She paused.
"Bring that one tome. It actually may be useful." She added

"....." Evan was silent for a moment.
"Ah... right." he said.
He then grabbed his shoulder bag, stuffed the tome into it, and rushed over towards her.
"Reading?" he then asked.
"What reading?" he asked her.
"Can I be filled in on this?"
"Ah... right." he said.

"Death isn't the only bringer here, so we gotta read up on how to stop them." Kelly answered after a moment as she walked through the house.
'Darrell's off to see if Alice will grant us access to her veritable library. IF not, we'll go to Vicki." She added.
"Beyond that, it's the best way to save your sister."

"....I see." Evan replied.
"Well. all right." he said.
"I hope I can help." he told her.
"I hope we can help Sammy..." he went on.
"And... Death isn't the only one here?" he asked her, before pausing.
"Wait... wait, are all FOUR on the surface!?" he then exclaimed.
"Well. all right." he said.

"From what I have heard? .... Yeah." Kelly said with a sigh.
"Uncle Lindsay and Alice... well, what I've heard from both of them makes me think we've all four to deal with. Or at least three of the four." She added.
"Adrien is in the hospital in horrible shape, sick as someone with the black plague." She continued, "And Luke was taken in earlier by a mysterious cut that has his flesh rotting almost instantly."

Evan's eyes widened when he heard that.
"Oh sweet heavens..." he said.
"That's... that's just... oh, wow..." he mumbled.
"I... I can't even... oh, geez." he muttered further.
"This really IS the end of the world." he realized.
"Are... we doomed, Kelly?"

"That's... why we're hitting the books." Kelly answered.
"To see if we can find anything. If not, this planet is likely to reset, all life wiped out." She sighed lightly.
"And I care about my life too much to let that happen."

"So do I." Evan replied.
"I care about my life, your life, Sammy's life, everyone's." he told her.
Meanwhile, Darrel had to fight the urge to do otherwise, but he made his way to OLA... mostly due to his self-imposed promise of checking up on Luke.
He made his way to Alice's office, but found she wasn't there.
"......." he was silent, before sitting down in one of the chairs.
"She doesn't need me looking around for her and bothering her." he reasoned. "So I will wait here for when she inevitably returns."

He wasn't waiting for long before he heard the woman's voice.
"I don't care. Do what you can. I need to check something and take a breather before I DO kill someone." She snarled, impatience in her voice.
"Just keep him alive!" was the last thing that was said before the door opened. She stepped in and froze when she saw Darrell.
"I.... suppose I shouldn't be surprised." She commented, closing the door behind her.
"Both Luke and Adrien are not faring well." She told him, her voice short.
"So you can tell Kelly that Luke is... well, he's alive for the moment. I don't know if we can stop the decay that is spreading through him." She continued, not even giving him a chance to breathe, let alone say anything, "Adrien is barely alive. Whatever the hell ransacked her body isn't giving up, and not going away."

Darrel was silent for a moment, blinking a couple of times, before sighing.
"Right." he said.
"That does answer one of my questions, as well as one I didn't really consider." he went on.
"But I still do have one question." he went on.
"Can I get access to your books?" he asked.
"Evan, Kelly and I are going to try and pour through as many texts as we can to find an answer and a solution to all this." he explained.
"Right." he said.

Alice was silent for a moment before sighing.
"Of course." She said before tossing a small orb of her mana at him.
"Put that into the door, you know where." She told him.
"It'll let you in."

He was then silent, before shaking his head.
"I wish I could help with Adrian and Luke." he muttered.
"Maybe Lily has some Draydin remedies?"

Alice sighed as Darrell made that suggestion before pushing her glasses up her nose again.
"How do you think I'm keeping either of them alive for the moment?" She asked him, her voice almost pointed.
'Lily is here as an outside consultant for this, due to how her draydina nd lantha remedies really are helping to save several peoples lives."
