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

Levi was silent as he sat down as well.

"Tell me. What's wrong?" Sharp asked, clearly taking things seriously.

"Well, different voices have surfaced." Levi said. "They sound like they're invading my head, and not speaking into my head, if that makes sense." he went on.

Sharp was silent, and just narrowed his eyes.

"....go on..." he said.

Levi then bit his lip, looked up, and removed his shades once more, showing the man his eye.

"And THIS happened." he said.

Immediately, Sharp's own eyes opened wider, and he unconsciously withdrew slightly.

"Good God almighty..." he said under his breath.

Ally paused as she witnessed Sharp's reaction.

"All right, Sharp." She started, her voice having a sharpness that it normally didn't. She wasn't dicking around, and it wasn't hard to tell that this was born of concern, as well.

"Explain that reaction. What do you know of what is happening to him?" She asked, there seemed to be a bit of a reverberation to her voice, barely but it was there if one knew what to look for. Levi probably didn't notice it, but Sharp most likely did.

"..............." Sharp was silent, before regaining his composure, and sighing heavily.

"Ah... well." he said.

"Hm." he mumbled.

"How best do I explain this...?" he wondered, thinking about it.

"Ah!" he said, snapping his fingers. "Tell me, are you both aware of the stories that H.P. Lovecraft wrote, about elder Gods such as Cthulhu?" he asked them.

Ally and Levi nodded their heads, Levi looking far more nervous.

"Well, those stories, while fictional, DO contain frightening elements of truth." Sharp exclaimed, before levelling a serious look at Levi.

"...and YOU are in contact with those entities."

Ally paused a moment.

"Well..." She started.

"What the hell is going to happen to Levi with that? Because that can't be good." She then asked.

"I'd put money down that it isn't, actually." She admitted.

Sharp leaned back in his chair, and briefly licked his lips.

"Well." he said.

"If nothing is done, there's only one fate for you." he told Levi.

"....and that is...?" Levi asked, concern and fear in his tone.

"Your mind and body are twisted, eroded, and corrupted by their influence, turning you into a demented and deformed vessel of chaos and destruction, whose sole purpose is to prepare the Earth for their return, spreading their mental and physical influence, becoming a very threat to the entirety of humanity, eventually." Sharp told him plainly, bluntly, and matter-of-factly.

Levi was stunned to the point of silence, his lower jaw dropping upon hearing what is fate would be.

"That's IF nothing is done." Sharp then stressed.

"And what CAN be done to stop that hell on Earth?" Ally then asked.

"Because... I refuse to stand by and just let this happen." She added as she made plans in her own head.

There had to be something she could do, right? She was a Wiccan... there was plenty to help other people in her repertoire.

She had to be able to help him...

"We'll do all we can." Sharp replied.

"This is a very delicate situation, and we don't have any guaranteed methods, but I will put every single resource I have at my disposal into dealing with this." he vowed.

"A lot of this depends on YOUR mental fortitude." he then told Levi.

"You have to be strong, and WANT to remain... well... you." he said further.

"I... I see." was all Levi could respond with.

Ally nodded.

"I suppose that's the best that we can hope for." She then said.

"Is there anything else that is needed of him, or can he go process this himself? Because.... " she glanced over to her friend, "Honestly? That might be a good thing."

Sharp shook his head.

"No, not right now." he said.

"I need to get the gears in motion here." he told them.

"I will let you two discuss this as need be, or let you both come to terms with this information, however you like." he said.

Levi just nodded.

"Okay, thank you." he said quietly.

"The important thing here is that you do not give up hope." was the last thing Sharp said to Levi.

"I'll make sure he doesn't. Or at least I'll try as much as I can to keep his spirits up." Ally assured Sharp before getting to her feet.

"Come on, Levi, let's go. We need to talk about this.' She then said. After he'd agreed and they left, she was silent. There was nothing she felt the need to say for the moment.

Although after they were about halfway down the path, she smiled softly.

"You'll be all right, Levi." She stated, her voice sure, confident."[/b]

Levi was silent, and looked at her.

"....yeah." he said.

"I hope so." he said further.

He then sighed, before looking at his hands.

"...never thought I'd be in THIS kind of situation..." he mumbled quietly.

"Well, to be fair, we never thought we'd have somewhere more free than we had before." Ally countered.

"So don't give up hope. This is just something new for us to deal with." She then said.

"And I wonder if any of the little wiccan purification things can help at all. Even if nothing serious, then just... help stave them off a bit."

Levi just sighed.

"There was a time when I dismissed wiccan things are nonsense." he told her.

"Now... they seem more normal than anything." he admitted.

"And I know better than to turn away something that has a chance of helping me." he went on.

"So if you find any, please let me know."

"Don't be freaked out if you wake to me over you in bed then. If I find something, I'll do it when I find it, even if you're asleep." Ally told him simply.

"Just as a heads up." She added after a few seconds as they neared their dorm.

Angela sighed as she arrived back home, before freezing for a moment.

"I... what?" She said quietly as she stepped inside and closed the door. There was an odd feeling in the air, and there was nothing she could do to try and decipher it. The fae part of her mana was ... oddly calm, yet she could also feel the panic in it too.

Before she could call out to ask if anyone was there, her daughter came around the corner with a book.

"Mom! Hey. My teacher said she found this book and that she thought you'd appreciate it, since you like old odd books." The child said, handing Angela the book in question.

As soon as Angela's hand touched the cover, she felt something overcome her, something she couldn't control, something she couldn't hope to understand.

"..." Levi was silent as he heard that.

And then his face turned red.

"Ah, I..." he stammered. "That is... all right." he said.

"I won't complain to that." he told her... before his face went even redder.

"That's not what I meant!" he exclaimed.

"I mean, I don't have a problem with it!" he said, growing even MORE flustered now.

"I mean, I'll understand!" he finally spat out.

Ally just laughed.

"Good to know." She then said with a smirk, not touching on what he'd said specifically.

"Anyway, is there anything you want to do while I'm trying to study a bit?" She asked. She knew he'd realise what she was referring to. She was going to be studying how to help, through everything she knew. Perhaps writing something for it herself to use, that may help/work. There was no way for her to know for certain if anything would work.

She had to try.

"Ah... I'm not sure..." Levi admitted, finally composing himself.

"Really. I don't know." he said.

"Maybe it'll help if I try and zone out and distract myself." he went on.

"Can I borrow your good headphones?" he asked. "You know, with the noise-cancelling cushioning on them?"

Ally nodded as they reached the door and entered.

"Yeah, of course." She said.

"Let me grab them." She added before heading off toward her room. She returned a few seconds later with the headphones in question, in the case that they had.

"Here." She said.

"Also, if you want to keep them, feel free." She added with a soft smile as she handed them to him

Levi paused as he accepted them.

"...I'm sorry?" he said.

"KEEP them?" he asked.

"Ah... but... wait, why?" he asked her.

"These things are really expensive, are they not?" he asked further.

"I mean, don't get me wrong, I won't refuse, but... why? Are you SURE about this?"

"They are, and those are practically new." Ally confirmed before smirking.

"I ordered a second pair last week." She then said. "Specifically so you COULD have your own pair." She added.

"I know how much you love 'em and all."
