An empty room which is rumoured to be haunted... however, it's ideal for orbing and shimmering so, it's up to you.

::Kellan blinks in and looks around::

"Perfect. There must be a target walking around here somewhere."

::He heads into the Hallway::

::Link blinks in.::

"Mortal place. Can't use his powers here."

::Link rushes into the hallway, intense panic on his face::

::Blaze shimmers in, screening the area for Link. After spotting him rushing through the door, he follows::

:: Moony walks in and closes the door behind her ::

"The convenience..."

:: With that she blinks out ::

::Leo orbs in and quickly exits to the hallway.::

::After having pushed Leo into this room, Phoebe soon follows and grabs onto him. She closes her eyes as they orb to the manor.::

::Kellan blinks in. Wasting no time, he heads out into the hallway.::

::Luke orbs into the room but he rematerializes over a bucket of dirty mop water. Crashing down to the floor, his left foot lands in the bucket and he falls over. The water now up his pant leg, Luke groans.::

"Oh, fucking hell! Ew! Where the hell am I, anyway?"

::He calls out for Shinji, thinking that this might be his place. Getting no response, Luke looks around the room. Seeing no evidence of habitation, he walks out to the hallway.::

::Paige orbs in with Petunius and takes him out to the hallway.::

::Luke orbs into the room and looks at the fight through the peephole. He sighs in relief, realizing that the other two were still alive.::

(I wonder what their powers are, exactly. I wonder if I could bring Azura in here so she can see what Paz is planning in his head.)

::Orbs back to his penthouse.::

::Luke orbs in with Azura and Abe, dropping on the bed. Spotting a pen and legal pad, he picks it up and hands it to Azura. He speaks to her in a lowered voice.::

"They are just outside of this door fighting. Paz and those two others. Try to enter Paz's mind and write down whatever is going on in their minds."

::He spots the closed windows.::

"I'll open those up if it makes you feel better."

:: Azura looks down at the pad and pen in her hand, then looks up up at luke and nods. ::

"Please. It will help."

:: Having no hear anything from Paz so far, since' he's crafty like that, Azura reaches out with her power to Dante and Veronica, but only picks up on Dante's, this being the first time she's picked up on anything without being able to see the person. She frowns and crouches down by the door, and stares out through it, to see only Dante and Veronica standing there. ::

"He's gone. ThoughI wasn't picking anything up from him in the first place."

:: Not being able to stay in the small, closed in room much longer she stands and pulls open the door, walking out into the hallway ::

::Luke sighs, signalling to Abe that the coast was clear as he exits to the hallway.::

::Abe follows.::

::Luke orbs in and walks to the hallway.::

::Luke orbs to his penthouse.::

::Patience shimmers in and releases Paz.::

"Ok you lazy fuck, get up."

::She pokes at his lifeless body with her foot, well, more like her big toe.::

::Paz's eyes open, blurred images passing infront of his eyes. He groans and gets up, tentetivley touching his head.::

"Ow."

::He stares at Patience.::

"Oh my god, how did we get here?"

::His eyes moisten, on the brink of tears he looks at Patience.::

"You've gone evil, haven't you?"

(If i'm good again...)

"Patience? Hello!?"

::Looking around nervously, he edges to the door, his mind slipping to his hands.::

(Ok, I need to get ready for the thunderness. It was fear that did it last time.)

"Patience, I can't let you become evil. I can't let you take this power from me."

::Shaking his head, he takes a step forward now.::

"This was my choice, not yours. I want to take it back, I made my decision. I chose the evil, you just got victimised."

::A roar of laughter can be heard echoing throughout the room.::

"Oh you poor pitiful little fool."

::She glances him over with amusement.::

"To think I'd give up this...energy...this...freedom. It's delicious sweetie, and I like it."

::Cocks her head in contemplation.::

"However, when you weren't being such a pussy..."

(Go figure I'd choose those words, seing as I'm pretty sure he has an allergy to them.)

"You were quite badassed. You were someone who I could rule this hell with."

::Inches closer.::

"So here is what my plan is, I'm going to offer to partner up with you. You can accept, help me stay evil, and take back your powers. Or, you can do the wimp thing and try to deny how much you loved being evil, refuse my offer, and make me have to kill you."

::He looks up at Patience.::

"I don't want this life for myself anymore. I don't want this feeling in my stomach. I want the freedom and I want the power."

::He takes a step nearer to Patience, staring into her eyes.::

"I never wanted to hurt anyone, not you, not anyone, but when I feel what that power does to me, I can't help it."

::His eyes begin to fill with tears.::

"But I don't want this anymore, I can't handle these feelings that being 'good' gets me."

::Turning swiftly, he darts out of the room and into the hallway.::

::Paz enters again, Patience still in the same spot. He calmy walks closer to her and looks her in the eye.::

"Ok."

::Grins in approval.::

"So you're in?"

::Frustrated she knocks hard on the door, her knuckles red and in pain from all the previous apartments.::

(Maybe I should've rang the bell...)

"If she's not here I'm going down and asking Dante if he's seen her."

::She crosses her arms and waits.::

::Paz's head turns toward the door sharply, he then looks back at Patience.::

(It won't be long until the potion wears off, then i'll go back and she'll be ok. I'm not dragging her into the darkness.)

"What should we do?"

"Well I would suggest you open it in the name sake of maners. However in your suppressed 'good' state you'd surely have something to say about what I would do to the person on the other side of that door."

::Smiles at the possiblities.::

"But my time and patience is running out. You were evil, I imagine you felt the pull to the underworld as I do now. We aren't going to just sit around here and wait for the potion to wear off. You will show me around down there, take me to someone who can make this change in me permanant."

::Julie hears the voice on the other side, and recognizing her girlfriend's voice she knocks again.::

"Cookie, open up it's Julie."

"Cookie? Julie?"

::Paz turns looks at Patience.::

"Sounds like she knows you..."

P.S. Potion effect is over. Powers and alignment swap back.

::Patience feels the previously mentioned 'freedom' drain out of her body. She inhales sharply as her own good given powers return to her. Knowing in her mind the potion had worn off she sighs with dissappointment.::

"Yes, she knows me, and now I have to return to her."

::Patience gets a close as she dared to Paz and catches his gaze.::

"However, our deal still stands. Turn me back..."

::She says with pleading eyes before heading for the door.::

"I won't make it hard for you to find me."

::Leaves to the hallway.::

"Damn right you won't..."

::He speaks to the empty room.::

"As if i'd want that dragging me down. Dragging me down like those annoying human emotions. Uch. I feel dirty."

::He shimmers to the holding bay, arena.::

::Orbs in and walks to the hallway.::

::The shapeshifter appears and takes on the form of Andrea. She walks out into the hallway.::

::Luke orbs in and walks out to the hallway.::

::Paige orbs in with Carys and smiles at her encouragingly.::

"Will I wait here for you?"

[A stream of bat diarrhoea sprays over Carys' clothes]

::Carys sighs and strips off, picking up some random clothes left in the room from occupants or whatever, and changes into them.::

"Sure. Wait. Do I bring her in here or what? Just tell her to follow me...or beat her up first?"

::Paige chuckles.::

"Whatever you want, sweetie. As long as she's alive, with vision intact, so she can watch Sharon die. Anything else is fine by me."

::Carys nods and grins, pecking Paige on the cheek.::

"See you in a bit."

::She heads out into the hallway.::
