Hyron's heart rate spiked. Do I have to say their name verbally, or can I make the connection by saying it mentally? I'd like not to give away the one thing keeping us as ourselves.

Island on a Distant World Calano cursed as his orientation changed, but looked forwards at the night sky. "It's beautiful," He shouted over the wind.

Clinic: Calano's Office Calano snapped his fingers, and a ward appeared on the door. "That'll keep them out." He turned to Thaidakar. "Thaidakar, you have control, officially, of the Clinic until my return." He waved his hand, then spoke, his voice booming through the Clinic. "Attention all Staff and Patients of the Clinic. Levels Ground through 8 are now considered Hazardous and should be Avoided at all costs. They are sealed off by Full Enchantments. Please prepare to be teleported to your temporary rooms until the situation is resolved. This is a Level 4 Lockdown." "There," He said, "That should do it." He turned to Bookwyrm and Platypus. "Let's go," He said, and he stepped through the Wyrmhole.

Clinic: Calano's Office Calano nodded, a hand to his chin. "Thaidakar, I'd like you to remain, and be the main one in charge. Have TAAron be with you, and both of you pick somebody else." Calano turned to Bookwyrm. "You and I, on the other hand," Calano said, "Will go find the Origin. Are we in agreement?" @The Bookwyrm @Thaidakar the Ghostblood

Clinic: Calano's Office "Bookwyrm, did you get a quadrant that it could be in? Or a Sector?" Calano asked, staring at the floor, but mentally probing the universe and beyond. He looked up at Thaidakar. "I propose a level 4 Lockdown. Levels Ground to 8 should be sealed off, Full Enchantments, and everyone to levels 8-15. Also sealed, except for High Staff and other exceptions. What say you both to this?"

Clinic: Calano's Office "Where is it?" Calano asked, reaching out with his mind and soul, searching for the Origin. "Did you get a location?"

Clinic: Calano's Office "Depends on what Bookwyrm says," Calano said, looking over at the aforementioned man. @The Bookwyrm

Clinic: Calano's Office "What if you told it there were a chance that Kaos would destroy both it and the clinic? Then what? I don't know..." Calano said, rubbing his chin.

Clinic: Calano's Office "How would you turn it against Kaos? What is it trying to make you it's champion for?"

Clinic: Calano's Office Calano blinked. Then the ring on his finger shattered. He looked down. "Now she is truly gone," He whispered, and looked down for a moment. He looked back up, taking a deep breath. "Did you find what you were looking for? Will it help us? If the Prison is breaking, we're gonna need everything."

Hyron's eyes widened. Oh, stalks yes. Please.

Clinic: Calano's Office Normally, Calano would have immediately noticed a new soul entering the clinic. But he was so tired, so beat, so broken, that he didn't. "Emma is..." Calano started, then blinked away some tears that had begun to cloud the edges of his vision, "Emma is dead. By my own blade." He looked down, then back up. "And I am broken," He croaked, barely holding back tears. He looked up, blinking rapidly, and breathed in. "But," He said, "We can't dwell on that yet. We have to plan. We need to defeat the Kaos as soon as possible." Just then, a strange tingling started in Calano's chest, and slowly, slowly began to spread outwards. It felt... dark. Chaotic. No. Kaotic. Calano acknowledged it, but put it up to nerves. @The Bookwyrm

"What guy?" Calano asked, walking up to Thaidakar. "Just my own struggles. I was preparing to convene with Bookwyrm and you guys to talk about our next move."

Clinic: Calano's Office Calano waved a hand and the door opened. He saw Thaidakar, and immediately stood. "Thaidakar," He said, "Welcome back. Where's Bookwyrm?" @The Aspiring Archivist @Thaidakar the Ghostblood

Or we could keep kissing.. A thought in Hyron's mind said. Hyron swatted the thought away. Hyron nodded, taking a final bite of the apple, then gently pressing the core into her wrist pouch, where it rapidly composted, creating fertile soil. That would be a benefit. Hey, voice. Any updates on us getting the hell out of here? @xinoehp512

Clinic: Calano's Office Calano raised his voice, preparing mental barriers. "Malum," He said, "I want no part of you in my mind. I want no part of your tricks. Get out of my head. And stay out." He shoved the barriers up towards Malum's influence, shattering the threads with the walls, and blocking Malum.

Clinic: Calano's Office Calano heard the whisper, speaking in Emma's voice, and glared at the air in front of him. "Get. Out. Of my. Head," He growled, and shoved the voice away. After that, Bookwyrm's message came through. Good. Dispatch the skeletons, or if you can now, come to my office. @The Bookwyrm @The Aspiring Archivist

Clinic: Lobby "Bookwyrm," Calano said, "Now. Get him. I'll be in my office." And with that, Calano spun on the spot, reappearing in his office.

Clinic: Lobby "He's essential to the final mission," Calano said, looking up through his eyebrows, suddenly seeming tired, "We need him very much. He's looking for something. I pray he's either found it already, or is close to finding it. It is also very important."

Clinic: Lobby "Can't," He said hoarsely, rising and turning to face everyone, "We have to defeat Kaos as fast as we can. Somebody find Bookwyrm."

thou art forgiven. but i will rain hellfire shall you do it again :eyes: :fire:

Clinic: Lobby Calano stopped screaming, breathing coming in short, rapid, ragged breaths. Now that he was done screaming everything out, he just sat there, staring at the cloak. Staring at that damn cloak. That damn cloak. Belonging to a husk of a former woman. Taken over by the darkest entity known to man. Kaos. Kaos... Calano looked up, eyes red. A couple of blood vessels had popped from his screaming, but they'd heal. "Where," He started, but cleared his throat. He was speaking rather hoarsely, "Where is Bookwyrm?" @Shadowed @Telrao @The Aspiring Archivist @The Bookwyrm @UnfortunatelyNamed @Thaidakar the Ghostblood

... you spelled it calub it's caleb bruh

Clinic: Lobby Calano fell to his knees in front of the cloak. He knew people were gathering around him. He knew he should do something. But he couldn't. He dropped his swords, and they vanished in a puff of Light. Then he screamed. Again. Loudly. Powerfully. It seemed he'd done too much screaming lately, as this scream hurt. Physically and emotionally. But gods be damned... he'd just had to do the unthinkable. @Telrao @xinoehp512 @Shadowed @The Aspiring Archivist
