This is all that is left of the manor. Rubble and debris has sunk into the space that was the basement. Everything is open and subject to the elements. There is nothing left of the house that was, just a mess.

::Majora steps over the debris until he feels the power of the Nexus beneath him. He stops there, not noticing that the area is oddly clear of rubble. He bows his head, closing his eyes. The wind buffets his body, whipping his hair this way and that as he quietly goes into a meditative trance.::

::Leo orbs in with the Charmed Ones and goes blank when he sees that the manor doesn't exist any more.::

"Wow..."

::Phoebe stares at the mess.::

"Uh..."

::Her mouth opens and she just stares. Everything. Gone. All of it.::

"Our house..."

::Piper similarly stares at the rubble, taking a few steps forward to move in front of her sisters.::

(...)

::Dante, Veronica and Nadia arrive. He blinks a bit and steps back, not used to orbing so many at once::

"Your house is a dump."

"Damn, we were hoping you guys wouldn't notice."

(Shit man...It wasn't this bad awhile ago...)

::Luke orbs in with Sharon, Andrea, Jasmine, Azura and Hawke.::

"And here we are..."

::The debris from the Manor's destruction overwhelms his senses.::

"... Maison Halliwell?"

::Hawke stares at the destroyed mansion. And yawns. It's quite sudden, and the gorgon is very tired. From the expressions of the others - the gorgon gathers that this was their first glimpse of the destroyed mansion. Of course, coming back here only reaffirms his theory that the three women were indeed the Charmed Ones.::

::Jasmine yelps suddenly and pulls away from Luke, stepping back, back and away from the manor. Her face is all screwed up and she's got both palms pressed into her temples.::

"Ah, my head!"

(What is that?)

::At the sound of a voice, Phoebe turns around.::

"Jasmine!"

::That's how excited she is to see everybody else. She trips down the rubble to join them and then trots over to her ritual buddy, taking her hands.::

"You're okay!"

::Tired of the rain, Prue uses her power to put up a telekinetic 'umbrella' of sorts over their heads. It covers the entire area where the manor stood. Finally somewhere dry.::

::Sharon's not really as surprised as everyone else. It would hardly be fair if the Halliwell's had got to keep their house when everyone else had lost theirs.::

"So what are we doing?"

:: Azura steps away from the excited Halliwell and her sister to give them room. Even though Prue has stopped the rain from hitting them she's still pretty cold, and feeling rubbish in general. She looks at Jasmine and thinks that as soon as this is over she should help her shield her mind while remaining in tune with what is around her. It can be a struggle, even now she feels a little uncomfortable.::

"We will be protecting Majora's body. I think."

::While Prue has stopped the rain from hitting them, Luke keeps the umbrella up. Either because he doesn't know how long the Charmed One can halt the precipitation or that the whitelighter is pretending that he isn't aware of this fact as he's liking that the umbrella gives him the excuse to remain huddled next to Sharon.::

::Well tough if it is the later because Sharon notices the rain isn't falling round them any more and steps out from under the umbrella.::

(Protecting Majora. From what?)

::Jasmine groans slightly and keeps moving away. She gives Phoebe a weak smile, though, managing that.::

"Yeah. I am."

(Geez...)

::Feeling a little silly for holding the umbrella up now, Luke puts it down and closes the thing.::

::Prue picks her way onto the sort of 'platform' the house is on. She approaches Majora and pauses, looking around sceptically.::

(I don't see any kind of danger except the elements. Who's going to try to stop him?)

::Majora speaks suddenly, which might be a bit of a shock since he appears to be totally zoned out. And in a way, he is. He's deep in a trance of awareness.::

"I would tie up any loose ends, if I were you."

(Tie up loose ends? What the hell does he mean?)

::Luke stares at Majora as those words don't seem to bode well with the whitelighter.::

"Loose ends?"

::Dante feels his heart quicken as he knows he has to come clean about something::

"I... I have an announcement. I'm... I. Uh. I need to come out. I'm."

::He pauses, for dramatic effect::

"I'm a lesbian."

(pwnt)

::Andrea rolls her eyes.::

"You're definitely gay."

::Not meant in the 'homosexual' or 'happy' sense. Obviously...::

"Good to know you're staying positive."

::That's to Majora.::

::Majora opens his eyes and gazes at Prue, but doesn't say anything.::

::So Prue stares back.::

::This makes Majora smile lightly.::

::Piper skids down some debris on her way over to Phoebe and Jasmine.::

"Phoebe."

::She continues to walk over to them, trying to get her little sister's attention.::

"Phoebe."

"What?"

::Phoebe turns and stares at Piper.::

"Turn around. Look."

::Piper gestures towards Prue and Majora.::

"Is she flirting with him?"

::Phoebe squints over at the two figures in the darkness.::

"I don't know. Maybe?"

::She pauses.::

"Wait. That would be bad."

"Yes, weird and bad."

"He is a total hottie, though."

"You know, despite how incredibly evil and powerful he is..."

::Jasmine gives Piper a wry smile.::

"Phoebe is right."

::Phoebe giggles, then gives herself a bizarre look.::

"Why am I laughing? It's the end of the world."

"You're going crazy."

::Phoebe chuckles again, then frowns.::

"Wait. Were you kidding or was that your psychic powers telling you?"

::Jasmine just raises her eyebrows and gives Phoebe a knowing smile.::

::So Phoebe looks worried.::

"I'm going crazy..."
