Paige's bedroom. Flamboyant and cool, this place is Paige personified, clashing decor an' all.

::Paige enters and wanders around her room for a while, picking up various possessions and simply holding them, before putting them down again. She sighs deeply and flops back onto her bed, closing her eyes.::

"Raindrops and roses and crystals and... mittens..."

::She forces herself back up and takes a few minutes to get ready for bed, getting changed into a vest and shorts and removing her makeup.::

"Something and something and something about kittens."

::Clambering into bed, she lies still for a while, listening to the silence, the lonliness, before falling into a fitful sleep.::

::Phoebe sneaks in and crawls in beside Paige, sighing deeply.::

(Mmm... warm sister...)

::She snuggles into Paige for a moment before prodding her gently, attempting to wake her up.::

::Piper appears in the doorway dressed in only a towel and throws the first thing she can grab - a lampshade - at the two figures on the bed.::

"Get up you two, what is this, Narco-Well Manor? Come on!"

(Why does Paige have a collection of lampshades...?)

::She heads back to Piper and Leo's bedroom.::

::Paige groans at the somewhat rude awakening, having broken the record by sleeping for a full twenty days and still needing more rest.::

"Ugh... Phoebe... what the hell...?"

::She shoves Phoebe off her and goes take a shower. She gets dressed in the bathroom and returns feeling better.::

"Need to freakin'... go to P3... hurry up and get ready..."

[Alas, poor Piper, before she can make it back to her bedroom, she is accosted by a set of rogue orbs, and whipped away to P3.]

::After having searched the manor, Paige is very pissed off that her sister has done a runner on them.::

"God, couldn't wait, could she?"

::Dressed now, Paige glances at Phoebe.::

"I'm gonna head to P3 to give her a piece of my mind. I'll meet you and Leo there."

::Paige orbs out, heading to P3.::

::Once dressed, Phoebe goes through to Piper and Leo's bedroom.::

::Prue wanders in, not really knowing quite what to expect.::

(Will they have preserved my memory?)

::She looks around, the room's huge difference from her memories giving her quite a shock.::

"Obviously not."

::Frowning, she goes over to the wardrobe and starts to rifle through it.::

(It's like a whole other person lives here...)

::Her mind travels to thoughts of the red-haired girl she'd seen before, but her memory of the previous night is too fuzzy to make any sense of it. She pulls out a knee-length hippyish skirt and takes it into Phoebe's Room.::

::Paige stomps in and closes the door behind her, sinking onto her bed and putting the phone to her ear.::

"Hello?"

"Uhm, hi. I just remembered I forgot your address..."

::Paige giggles.::

"1329 Prescott Street. Do you need directions, or will you be okay?"

"No, I think I'll manage. Sorry if I got you into any trouble. See you later, babe."

Le click.

::Paige squirms a little and giggles.::

"She called me babe. Hee."

::She lazes around for a minute, unsure of what to do. She doesn't want to go and see Piper, but she probably should. Buh. She gets up and goes back to Piper's bedroom.::

::Paige walks in, closes the door, and locks it. She sighs, wiping the tears from her eyes, and goes to lie on her bed, staring at the ceiling, trying to block out all the thoughts in her head.::

::Knock.::

"Hey. Lemme in."

::Paige sighs and gets up, opening the door for Prue.::

"Hey."

::Prue locks the door behind herself, and goes to sit on Paige's bed.::

"Sorry, I couldn't take them sniping any more. I'd forgotten what it's like to be in the middle of that."

"Oh I'm still getting used to it."

::Paige hangs back by the door, leaning against it. She swallows.::

"I must be giving you a really terrible impression of myself."

::She sighs quietly, then pauses.::

"The sad thing is, it's mostly accurate. I'm an immense screw-up."

::Leo orbs in with Azura, who's now unfrozen.::

"Hey... um, Piper asked me to seperate Carys and this one, so could you look after her, and Prue, could you take Carys in our room maybe?"

"But she can blink."

"Well, Piper's theory is that they're already both so consumed by their sins that their powers are gonna start screwing up. It's worth a shot, if only to stop them... in our living room."

"Okay."

::Looks at Paige with Azura.::

"Good luck with her."

::She goes to Piper's bedroom.::

::Leo smiles, locks the door, takes the key, and orbs to the solarium.::

:: Azura, who is near enough naked, stares deleriously around the new room that she is in. Her eyes fall on Paige. Who she finds very attractive at this point in time. She scurries across the bed to Paige and jumps on her. ::

"Hello. Sorry about this."

::Paige tries to scramble away, but doesn't succeed. She orbs out, reappearing at the foot of the bed.::

"Okay, look, I'm not... like that, all right? So, sorry, but no. I have to look after here. Don't make this hard for me, okay?"

:: Azura chews on her lip furiously. She starts to crawl down the bed toward Paige. ::

"Just take me to her then. I need her. I need something."

"Um..."

::She turns on the TV.::

"Look. Look at all the pretty people on TV."

:: Azura's eyes flick to the tv, it works for a few seconds, but hers kin still feels as if it's on fire. ::

"It is not real. I want the real thing."

:: She glances at the doorway, slightly freaked out that it's closed and locked. ::

"Open the door."

"No?"

:: Azura figits with her hands, stopping at the end of the bed near Paige. ::

"I'm a severe claustrophobe and unless you want me to have a panic attack. Open the door."

:: She begins chewing on her lip again, it becoming harder to ignore her lustful urges. ::

"I don't have the key. You're gonna have to cope. Sorry."

:: Azura climbs off of the bed and opens up each of the bedroom windows. She considers jumping for a moment, but it really is a long way down. Turning back to Paige, she walks over to her and wraps her arms around her. ::

"You can orb, just like Lucas can. Get me out of here."

"Heh, no. I'm okay just hanging out here, thanks."

::She gently pushes Azura away.::

"So. You're with Carys, huh?"

(Bitch.)

:: Azura smiles patronisingly at Paige and then runs a hand up and down her arm. ::

"No. I just want sex with her."

:: Oh and she didn't hear Paige's thought cause her power is all screwed up. ::

"Oh."

::Paige pulls her arm away, hating Azura all the more.::

"But she likes you back, doesn't she?"

"No. I think she just wants sex too."

:: Azura leaps at Paige again, pushing the both of them forcfully against the wall. She begins pawing Paige all over. ::

"Well, that's something, I guess..."

::She struggles to push Azura off.::

"Will you please stop?"

:: Azura pushes herself harder into Paige. ::

"I need release. And you took that away from me. So unfortunately you will have to do."

:: Before Paige can protest she starts kissing her neck. ::

::Paige's eyes close in pleasure before she comes to her senses.::

"Will you stop??"

::She shoves Azura off, before orbing to Piper's room.::
