Oh god. How cliché.

::Ashmika, the Sin Demon, shimmers in with Moira, and thwacks her over the head hard enough to knock her out. Since I'm Admin, Moira falls unconscious. Ashmika grins and straps her down to a nice big pole thinger, making escape impossible with the use of handcuffs around her wrists and ankles. Kink..::

"One down. Three to go."

::She grins and shimmers out.::

::Ashmika shimmers in with Dante and cracks him over the head before tying him to the same pole as Moira.::

"Aww, lookit you two. All snuggled up."

::Dante groans and looks around through his eyes. Not that he has anything else to look out of... Shut up. He blinks looks over at Moira, seeing her uncoscious on the pole and immediately begins struggling, knowing he has to save her. He shuts his eyes and strains to latch onto the shimmering power and then opens them a few seconds later::

"What did you do to my powers! How am I meant to help Moira if my powers don't work! Let us go!"

::He begins thrashing around on the pole, trying to get free of the rope::

"I HAVE TO HELP!"

"Aw. Generosity. Always so giving. I know something you can give me. It'd really help if you could give me your soul."

::Ashmika smiles and sits on top of a large chest.::

"How about it, hon?"

"Ordinarily I'd say yes, but I have other people to help first."

::Dante stops trying to escape for a second and looks at her::

"If you help me get my powers I can help everyone else then give you my soul. It's win/win. Or I can find a way of escaping by myself. I can't garuntee your safety with that way though."

"I see the sin has not gotten very far with you. Disappointing. Your proud friend, on the other hand, has been developing nicely. But I must say my favourite has been Greed. She has been highly entertaining. Her heart will give out soon. Shame, really, she was so humourous..."

(She must mean... Carys. I have to help her too. And quickly)

"I'm going to have to do something I never thought I'd ever do..."

::He stops and then takes a deep breath, then...::

"HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!"

::Dante stops shouting and then shuts his mouth::

"Well then. That's why I never did it before. It never works."

::He begins picking at the rope behind his back and then stares at the demon::

"Why do you want my soul?"

"Hush. I'm in a lot of trouble. I really need your help. More than anyone else does."

::She looks sad.::

"But if you don't care about me..."

"I already said you could have my soul. I just need to help the others first. If I have no soul then how can I help anyone?"

::He says, uncertainty creeping into his voice::

"You need to help me the most. I can help everyone once I have your soul. I can help everyone."

"I'm not sure if I believe you. If you wanted to help Moira you wouldn't have knocked her out. If you wanted to help me you wouldn't have tied me up. If you wanted to help Carys you wouldn't be sitting here. You'd be helping her."

(Plus the girls back at the manor wouldn't be wanting you dead)

"Besides. I can't just sit here. I have to help. It hurts me to be forced to do nothing. I can almost feel all the people who need me."

::Paige orbs in with Prue, Piper and Phoebe. On seeing Dante and Moira, she looks pleased with herself.::

(Go me.)

"There's the chest."

::The sin demon stands up.::

"Charmed Ones!"

::She opens the chest and digs around for some sins, throwing them at Paige and Phoebe.::

[Idiots. Paige, you have been infected with Wrath. Phoebe, you have been infected with Sloth. Enjoy.]

::Phoebe stops short and shakes herself, frowning.::

"Maybe we should come back and do this later..."

::Paige shakes off the strange feeling that's overcome her, and snarls at her sister.::

"Oh, that is just like you, Phoebe. As soon as we commit ourselves to something, you back out."

::Phoebe turns to Paige, looking like she's about to argue back. Then...::

"... meh."

(Now I have to help them too! I need these ropes off!)

"Please get me and Moira free! I can sort everything out from there!"

::Paige rounds on Dante.::

"This is your fault! If you hadn't went and gotten kidnapped, we wouldn't have come here unprepared like this!"

"Great. Wrath and Sloth. Probably the most useless ones of them all."

::Piper sighs.::

"Prue, we need to get the remaining sins. Let's just leave Paige and Phoebe to it and work this out ourselves. We need to hurry."

"Sure thing. This shouldn't be too hard."

::Prue astrals out.::

::Astral Prue appears behind the demon, punching her hard in the back of the head. She glances at Piper, then disappears.::

::Prue wakes up and TKs the chest towards herself and Piper, using her power to also throw the demon into the wall.::

"Quick, grab the sins."

::She stoops into the box and picks up three orbs.::

"Who said you were in charge?"

"Shut up, Paige."

::Piper also grabs a few orbs.::

"Throw them, Prue."

::She throws what she has at the demon.::

::The demon shimmers out, so the sins miss her, then appears just in front of the COs.::

"You have bad aim."

"She might. I don't."

::Prue uses her power to send the sins Piper threw careening into the demon's back. She then tosses her own at the demon.::

"Vanquishing is so tiring. I should really cut down..."

::Phoebe sits down.::

[That must suck. The sins swirl around Ashmika and open up the Pit of Eternal Torment, dragging her under. Askmika is vanquished. Small white orbs float out of Moira, Dante, Paige and Phoebe. Moments later, a few more appear - presumably from the other sinner/counter-sinners. They float into the chest, which slams shut once they're all inside. The chest shimmers out.]

::Prue grins.::

"That felt good."

::Paige rubs her forehead, feeling dazed.::

"..."

::Dante gasps as the orb leaves him and then his face hardens::

"What the fuck! Jesus fucking christ! Get these fucking ropes off me!"

::He clenches his fists and swears loudly and explicitly and then latches onto Paige's power. Seconds later he's reappearing, on his feet, out of a cloud of orbs::

"Like hell that was my fault. If you'd protected me better I wouldn't have gotten kidnapped, and why the hell is this... just... god!"

::The snappy and relieved attitude reasserts itself in Dante and he stops, then breathes a sigh of relief::

"Thank fuck thats over. Now to deal with her."

::He begins kicking at Moira with his foot::

"Wake up, fatty, there's a cake in it for you if you do."

(Big-boned my ass)

"Where's Veronica? And where's that piece of crap whitelighter who threw a potion at me? And why didn't anyone stop me from jumping in front of it?! For gods sake!"

::He smiles to himself, glad to be back to normal, then folds his arms over his chest and looks down at the Pit of Eternal blah blah::

"Bitch had it coming."

::Piper raises an eyebrow.::

"Well someone's glad to be rid of Generosity."

::She smirks at Dante.::

"Question: what the hell is her name?"

::Phoebe yawns.::

"I'm still tired."

::Prue heads over to Moira and breaks the handcuffs with her powers, then turns to Dante.::

"Are you a whitelighter?"

"No. I'm a thief. I jacked her power and due to having used it before I can control it relatively well. And yeah. I'm fucking pleased."

(I sound like such a punk)

"Well ok, not so much a thief as a... borrower. I tap into any power and I can use it for a while. I make a copy of it inside myself for my own use. And her name is Moira."

"I see."

(That's an awesome power. Pity he seems to be such a... punk.)

::Prue unties Moira so the girl slumps into her arms. She struggles to hold her up, so she looks at Dante.::

"Here. Take your... friend."

::Paige looks a little upset about the sin she was infected with, but stays silent.::

(As long as she doesn't break my arms...)

::Dante takes Moira, then hoists her up and over his shoulder::

"I better take her home. Was there anything else to be done here?"
