::Andrea turns around to wait for Azura, but is considering running away and hiding.::

:: Azura stops in front of the wimp and stares.::

"What do you think you were doing?"

"It was an accident."

::Grit teeth.::

"It is always just an accident with you."

"Oh, for fuck's sake, Azura! Stop being such a bitch!"

:: Azura pauses for a moment while she takes this in.::

"I am not being such a thing! I am merely pointing things out to you."

"Ugh! You've changed so much! I'm phoning the hospital."

::Andrea turns and stamps her feet on the way to the parlour to look for a telephone.::

:: Azura doesn't follow Andrea straight away, she is thinking, in shock. Soon, she snaps out of it and finds poor Andy in the kitchen.::

::Paige looks around the hallway as she slowly walks along it, many memories returning to her. Some welcome, most not. She takes her time and touches the detail of the banister at the stairs, turning to look at the huge clock face set in the wall above a large table. She smiles joylessly at it and walks to it, brushing her fingers over the large minute hand, which is pointing down.::

"God..."

::She goes into the parlour.::

::Jasmine explores the place with Paige following.::

"Wow, this place is amazing! And it's all genuine! It must be worth spiggin' millions!"

::Paige smiles, watching Jasmine get excited.::

"Possibly. Want the tour?"

"Yeah!!"

::Paige licks her lips.::

"Cool. How about we start down here and finish upstairs... in the bedrooms?"

::Jasmine is looking up the staircase with much curiosity and excitement.::

"I like the way you think!"

::Paige's eyes are on Jasmine with a soft smile.::

"... great."

::And on the grand tour they go.::

::Prue walks in, shivering slightly. She looks around the hallway and sighs. The perpetually burning candles light the room with a warm glow.::

"This place is a lot spookier when you're not evil..."

"Jesus this place is spooky."

::Aidan says as he enters, Paz beside him.::

"Cool though, if you're a bit gothic."

"We were."

::Prue walks into the parlour.::

::Aidan follows with Paz.::

::Piper slowly walks in with Azura. She remains placid and hums to herself.::

"Hmm. If I can remember where the kitchen is. I think it's this way."

::She doesn't give Azura much of a chance to protest or say anything, thinking that it's best if she just leads the girl around for now. She does remember the way, though, and to the kitchen they go.::

:: Layla enters and slowly but surely observes her surroundings ::

(This looks like the place to shoot a semi-hardcore rock video.)

:: She lingers. Has she really thought about this situation? How will she handle it? Will she even survive? Does she care? Will she ever stop asking questions? ::

::Petunius walks in with Phoebe and lingers also while taking in the surroundings.::

(Evil must have paid well...)

"Uh...so where do we go next?"

"I have absolutely no clue."

::Piper shows everybody in.::

"She is throwing her life away. I have never wanted to kill her this much before."

::Because Piper is realising how much she likes Azura and how good she was for Paige.::

::Petunius looks down at the ground and scuffs his shoe against it, feeling uncomfortable at Piper's...Piperness about the whole situation. While he can understand her anger and frustration, he doubts her approach would really be helpful to Azura; as well intentioned as it may be. He looks at everyone else gathered one by one, wanting someone to say something else.::

"Sorry, where are we?"

::Sharon takes everything in carefully. She's mostly just asking to, as Petunius was wanting, change the subject.::

"Some creepy mansion in the outskirts of town. Petunius and I wandered over here last year when we lost our memories, thinking that I might've lived in the area. But then we fought these horrific beasts and left with our lives."

::He says this as though he and Petunius defeated the bastard hounds, completely omitting the fact that they ran like girls for the hills of San Francisco.::

"Oh."

::Sharon frowns.::

"And we have access to it because... the Halliwells own it?"

(They're not that well off, surely.)

"I don't know, I guess."

::Luke says with a shrug, examining the hallway further.::

"Kinda reminds me of home."

(Paige is cheating on Azura with Jasmine? Wow.)

::Sera bites her lip as she stares around at the hallway's decor, taking everything in.::

::Julie lingers for a while.::

(I wonder if mine and Andrea's room is still here...)

::She goes there. Accidentally bumping hard into Sera on the way.::

::Julie comes back in avoiding Sera and goes over to Sharon.::

"Hey."

::Sharon looks surprised Julie is talking to her.::

"Hm?"

"Think we'll actually die this time?"

"Of course not."

::Sharon doesn't actually know what she thinks at the moment. When Andrea first told her about the premonition Azura had, she hadn't believed it at all. Although it's become a lot more real in the past few hours, Sharon's focussing on each moment to the next, and it hasn't occured to her to think about whether or not they'll actually survive.::

"Really? Cos from the looks of it, it doesn't look like we'll be able to stop it. There's hell on Earth and the end of the world isn't bringing people together. Though... you've never been that nice to me."

::Sera glares at Julie for a minute before looking away, setting her jaw determinedly and chewing slightly on her tongue in thought.::

(Same old cunty bitch of an Asian, eh? Andrea deserves so, so much better than her. But that's hardly a new development. What the hell are we doing now?)

::The brunette, tired of just standing around here in the hall, heads into the parlour.::

::Sharon raises an eyebrow.::

"Haven't I?"

"Really not. Anyways, despite the end of the world and Azura's drama, I'm bored. I was thinking of going to check to see how the sea is doing. Wanna come?"

::Luke overhears this last part and turns his head to Julie, raising his eyebrows.::

"Why would you do that? The storm's bad enough in a normally dry and protected environment. Why go to a naturally wet and more dangerous habitat?"
