::The door is pulled open and Serenity marches in with Paige and Julie. She thrusts them into the room and stands in the doorway.::

"You will be able to walk around the building once you have taken your first dosage of your medication."

::She closes and locks the door, and leaves.::

::Paige is on her feet in seconds and beating her fists against the door.::

"Hey! Come back here! You can't do this! Let us out, dammit! Door!"

::She attempts to orb the door from its hinges, but nothing happens.::

"Goddamn it!"

::After a while, the door opens, and Assumpta walks in.::

"Hello, welcome."

::She smiles and puts the tray she'd been carrying down on one of the beds.::

"My name's Sister Assumpta, I'm one of the Sisters helping to run this place."

(... you're kidding me.)

"Hi there. I'm Paige. Nice to meet you. Can we leave now?"

"Oh, you're perfectly welcome to wander around as soon as you've taken your medication, Paige."

::Assumpta smiles.::

"It's just on that tray over there."

"I-- what?"

::Paige stares at the nun.::

"We're not patients here. We came to get our friends back. And I'm sorry, I don't mean to be rude to someone as close to god as yourself, but we're gonna do that."

"You know you need me."

::Comes a voice from outside before Sister Hepzibah appears, complete with her Syringes O' Doom.::

"Welcome n00blets. I'm Hepzibah and I am your Master."

"Now, Sister, I don't think that's quite necessary..."

::Paige's eyes widen at Sister Hepzibah.::

(Something tells me these aren't your orthodox nuns.)

"Stay away with those."

"Naw. You're clearly a troublemaker."

::Hepzibah grins and lurches forward, easily catching Paige in the arm with the syringe and bam! Injecting sedative. While Julie is standing there stupid, she does her too. Hot.::

"Enjoy."

::She smirks and looks at Assumpta.::

"You should start carrying these too, Ass. Never know when you're gonna get attacked."

"Mmm..."

::Suddenly feeling quite heavy, Paige slips down onto the ground and sits there, leaning against the wall.::

::Assumpta catches Julie before she falls and lays her on the bed.::

"It's Sister Assumpta."

(She's so...)

"That was completely unnecessary."

"Yeah yeah."

::Sister Hepzibah makes ol' Paigey-face take her pills, and moves on to Julie.::

"Ugh. I don't wanna touch her."

::She thrusts the pills into Assumpta's hands.::

"Make sure she takes them!"

::Rolling her eyes, Heppie walks into the corridor.::

::Paige coughs and shudders a little, struggling to keep her eyes open.::

"So what now...? I wake up in a bath of ice with my..."

::Coughs more.::

"Kidneys removed?"

"Don't be silly."

::Assumpta grins.::

"You can go out and chat with the other patients now."

"Azura--"

"Oh, yes, you can go and talk to her. Certainly! I'm not sure where she is, but I'm sure we can find her."

::Paige starts nodding, and forgets to stop.::

::The nun smiles.::

"Let's go, then."

::She helps Paige up, and pauses, looking at Julie. She crouches by the latter and gives her her pills, laying her down so she'll swallow them. And they're not big enough to choke and die on, so... anyway! Taking Paige by the arm, Assumpta leads her into the cell corridor.::

::After what seems like a...day... Julie wakes up from the sedatives and the pills. staring around her cell feeling mighty uncomfortable being back in a mental institution.::

(Greaaat...)

::She rubs her arms then gets up and walks out to the cell corridor.::

::Josie drags her foot down the back of the chair slowing herself and Carys.::

"Last cell. Please remember to take all your belongings"

::She knocks on the door.::

"Hellooo?"

::Carys waits for a minute and then sighs and kicks at the door, opening it.::

"If you're indecently dressed it's your own fault for not answering..."

::She trails off on seeing it slightly empty, and looks up at Josie.::

"No one in there."

"Disappointing! Though there was someone here, that bed is messy."

::Josie points at the bed Julie'd been sleeping in then moves the chair back.::

"Where do we go now?"

"Hum... dining hall I guess. But go slowly, in case it's someone crap we don't want to talk to. And be ready to reverse at speed."

::Carys grins and swivels the chair so they're facing away from the cell.::

(Who knew I'd enjoy an asylum so much?)

"You got it, chief!"

::Josie slowly heads to the dining room with Carys.::

::Julie pushes Andrea in before slamming the door shut.::

"I'm gonna guess she isn't under the vampire's mind control anymore, huh?"

::Andrea stumbles a little and catches herself, looking nervous.::

"I don't know. No, I... Cora - the vampire - she, she, she must've like, I don't know, made her..."

::Julie sits down and stares at Andrea.::

"You killed her, right?"

::She pats next to her on the bed.::

"I..."

::Andrea bites her lip then goes to sit beside Julie.::

"Yeah. She's gone. And... and... I don't know. Azura told everyone that, that she had attacked me a couple of times because of the brand Cora had left on the inside of her lip. But... but then, then she said she was okay. But... but she wasn't. And now I know she'd been lying. She'd, she'd, the vampire had told her all this stuff about me, like, manipulated her into thinking all these things about me. The funny thing is she's not far off."

::Julie takes Andrea's hand stroking it with her thumb gently.::

"Azura just needs some sense smacked into her."

(Literally.)

"You guys were best friends like I've never seen before. I think there were rare moments when I didn't see the two of you together. Just give her some time, perhaps then she'll clear her mind and remember what great friends you were and how wonderful it was to have you to rely on."

::[/bullshit].::

::Andrea smiles.::

"You're great, Julie. Thanks for understanding. And I do - I mean, I think keeping out of her way is the best thing to do. I think I've said all I need to say to her, and she, she'll just work it out on her own. But then it's like, well, maybe I should keep trying because then she won't be able to forget me. I don't know. It's tricky!"

::Aw! She said tricky!!::

"She just needs some space to sort her mind out I'm sure. Meanwhile you have me! I know my black hair isn't as mesmerizing as Azura's red wig, but you can deal with it for a while, yeah?"

::Julie smiles and winks at Andrea, tickling her.::

::Andrea giggles and catches Julie's hands, giving her a stern look.::

"Don't tickle me."

::Feels loads better.::

"You're so cute when you look stern!"

::Julie attacks Andrea, pinning her down and tickling her.::

::Andrea cries out and tries for the life of her to get Julie off.::

"Please! Please! Fuck! Stop!"

::Julie falls back laughing.::

"Poor Andy! I'm sorry!"

::Andrea wipes the tears from her eyes.::

"God, I HATE being tickled!"

::She kicks Julie weakly.::

::Julie wraps her legs over Andrea's pinning her down again with her legs, she grabs her foot yanking her shoes off and hovers her fingers over her foot.::

"Dun dun dun!!"

::Andrea actually pales.::

"Okay, no, seriously, I'm sorry I kicked you, I, I'm, please don't."

::She tries to pulls her legs free.::

"I will give you... money."

"I don't need your money."

::Julie pokes Andrea's toe.::
