Nobody knows why this car park is abandoned... but it is!

::After his long daze of a walk, he looks up, not quite sure where he is.::

(Where am I...? Why is this place empty, it's a car park, what is it a car park to?)

::He quickly loses his child-like curiosity and sits down against a far wall, looking out onto the empty expanse, without any cars to be seen. He enjoys being alone sometimes, but right now, he doesn't know what he wants, he is trying to seperate himself from Azura's thoughts and feelings, having trouble distinguishing them from his own. He continues his struggle, wishing someone was here to comfort him, like Ryo, or anyone kind in fact. He begins to cry quietly to himself once again.::

::Feeling the same as before, he stands once more, getting rid of any dirt that may be clinging to him from sitting on the gravel. He tries to compose himself and stop crying.::

(I need company so much right now... but I'm so alone, I don't have anyone, Ryo's asleep and... well, Ryo's asleep...)

::He doesn't really know where he is at the moment, but hopefully, somebody in that nearby airport will know where he is in relation to everywhere else, or at least there will be a tourist map. He walks slowly to the Airport.::

:: The dumpster with Caroline on top and Aidan inside slows to a stop. She pulls out a pair of drumsticks and starts beating them off of the metal. She yodels then leaps off of it, and flies off.::

::Aidan, quite litterally stunned, eventually manages to push the lip open, he coughs and chokes on all of the garbage, before lifting himself out and onto the concrete of the parking lot. He looks around for the crazed woman, and does not see her.::

"Hello? Anyone?"

::He looks around, before sitting down against the dumpster. He curls up and sighs.::

(Where's Ryo? Where am I?)

::Feeling all yucky, and wierded out, he looks around for a while and eventually, after walking for several minutes, manages to find quake once more.::

(Stupid psychos.)

::Natalie vrooms in on her brand new (stolen) Harley and pets it before starting to perform circles and figure-eights around the parking lot, just wanting to get a feel for the bike.::

::Bast stalks around the outside of the car park, watching Natalie warily.::

(That is like no creature I have seen.)

::She watches the motorbike with frightened fascination, the roars of its engine making her wince with each wave.::

::Aidan and Paz arrive, Aidan afraid Bast has left, he ignored Natalie for now, frantically searching.::

"Bast! Bast! Are you here Bast!?"

::Hearing a whiny noise over the roar of the motorcycle, Natalie stops and parks, spying Aidan running around like a chicken with no head. She scowls.::

(Oh shitz, Invasion of the Emoes; run for your life!!! Heh. What the fuck does he want?)

::When Natalie switches off the engine, Bast springs into life; this is the opportune moment to strike. With a screaming yowl, the cat-woman sprints at Natalie and leaps into the air to land on her back, forcing her to bend over. She reaches over her shoulders and starts clawing madly at the motorcycle, hissing at it. Since the hiss attack isn't directed at Natalie, she won't be affected by it like Wesley had been.::

::Natalie screams like she's being murdered, taken completely by surprise.::

"BAST! Stop that! She's an innocent!"

::Aidan rushes closer, ready to use his power.::

::Bast ignores Aidan because he's insignificant and shoves Natalie off the bike, hopping off herself. The bike falls over and Bast appears satisfied she has 'killed' it.::

"Bast!"

::Paz runs forward, but not too close just incase she lashes out.::

"We need to get you back to the Pharoah!"

::Bast moves away from the fallen bike and walks over to Paz.::

"You have found a way?"

"Almost!"

::Aidan lies, running over to Natalie.::

"Are you ok?"

(How am I going to get her back?)

"We're trying to find a way, but you running from us and attacking random innocents is not the way to do it. Bast, you need to keep a low profile here, or you'll be in danger."

::He doesn't worry about Natalie, as Aidan seems to have that covered, and instead focusses on the Goddess at hand.::

"The person who helped me, she isn't here right now. We'll just have to find another way. And we will find another way."

"Urgh... yes..."

(The fuck??)

::Natalie slowly sits up, her eyes first going from the emo, to the gay, then to Bast. She stares.::

"What the hell is that?!"

"Erm... play! We're practicing for a play, set in ancient Egypt. Yeah..."

::He pauses.::

"She's also crazy."

::Natalie's gaze flicks back to Aidan; she stares at him, scrutinizing him.::

"Sure. Whatever."

::Obviously, she doesn't believe him. Nat stands up and moves over to her lovely bike, giving Bast a wary look. She rights the Harley and strokes it a bit, checking to see if it's okay.::

(Phew, she bought it.)

::Bast looks like she might gut Natalie. She feels threatened.::

::Natalie doesn't notice as she's currently cooing to the motorcycle, checking for scratches and whatnot. Satisfied it's okay, she climbs back on it and brings the engine to life again.::

::Bast hisses this time at Natalie. Searing pains in your head for you.::

::Natalie cries out loudly and grabs ahold of her head, slumping forward on the seat, her eyes screwed up in pain.::

"She isn't going to hurt you Bast."

::Aidan says, trying not to provoke her further.::

::Bast ignores Aidan once more because she trusts him about a quarter of how far she could throw him (which is pretty far). She pounces forward and slashes at the bike with her claws, this time tearing gashes through the metal. The bike makes a spluttering noise and dies in a burst of sparks and crackles.::

"Bast!"

::He doesn't want to anger the Goddess or anything, but she can't put people at risk like this.::

"Bast! Stop it now. You're hurting innocent people. If you don't stop and think rationally, and work with us, you're never going to get home. Attacking people isn't helping."

(Hey! I just stole that!)

::Natalie, her head still hurting quite a bit, shifts to glare at Bast, wincing slightly.::

"Okay, who the hell do you think you are?!"

"This isn't how the stage play is supposed to go!"

::Aidan says, desperately trying to cover them from exposure.::

::Bast glares at Paz, her eyes glowing red.::

"There is attack and there is defence. You were not there when this beast hit me."

::Paz notes the eyes turning red, but it seems to only edge him on more, as opposed to instill caution.::

"Firstly, that is no 'beast'. Times have changed Bast, that's a mode of transportation for people, and not alive."

::He folds his arms across his chest.::

"Now are you going to come with me so I can find a way to get you home, or are you going to stay here and attack innanimate objects, and anger your Pharoah more by staying away from him for any longer?"

::Bast doesn't take too well to being spoken to like this at all. She is, after all, a God, and demands the respect one would expect.::

"It is not me that he will be angry at, friend."

"That I know."

::He states, matter of factly. He does know. He knows that if this Goddess, who is surprisingly unaware of what's going on around her, doesn't get back soon, then he is dead. He turns to Aidan.::

"She's not listening. I need to fix this, and since the Wiccan isn't around, there's only a couple more places I know I can go."

(And there's no chance I'm asking the Halliwells, so I have to go into the underworld.)

"I'm definitely coming with you then, that place is dangerous."

::Aidan pauses.::

"I guess I'll lead the way."

::Aidan leads them all, minus the girl, to the beach.::

"Fuckers!"

::Natalie huffs and looks over at her stolen and mangled bike, muttering. She leaves it and wanders off, finding CW Apartments.::

::Petunius quickly arrives with a silenced Past Aidan in his grasp and stops to wait for Sharon.::

"All right, Aidan, look. We don't have any choice here. You can't send an innocent boy into your past. He doesn't belong there, and you don't belong here."

::Aidan screams at the top of his lungs. He's not listening.::
