Several died on this day: Sister Ophelia, a promising young Spanish nun. Kian Traviss, A father, producer all around good citizen with a few hang ups. Orderly 1, 2, & 3 all decent dudes on the outside with a few questionable practices on the inside. Patients 1,2,3, & 4, was their long term stay really meant to be permanent?

 

[08:24] Kian Traviss (blankidea) nods several times, "He's a little collicky, it's like he knows when you're in a bad mood." He laughed, "He can sense it like a dog...not that i'm comparing our son to a dog or anything." He nodded his head, "Hey, I been there, still there in some ways..I know what you're going through." He moved over to her and put his arms around her, slowly at first just in case she tried to knife him, "I'm okay, real good in fact." He said with a bright smile, "give me a hug." He suggested, noting her curves and said, "I like your hair." He really just wanted to tweak her nipple right then but decided not to.

[08:29] Danya Grayman laughs and nods with his assessment. "He knows when you're in a bad mood, he knows when you're about to get you some. It's like he has a sixth sense when you're paying attention to someone else. Like...a jealous puppy." She does not knife him. She does squeeze him in the hug, having kept on the weight from the baby, not the belly but hips and boobs, with no want to lose it. She is not nice in that aspect though, and she gives his ass a good squeeze.  "Thank you. I thought about cutting it again, easier to take care of.. Glad you grew your beard out again."

[08:35] Kian Traviss (blankidea) chuckled at her little melody, "Yeah, something like that." He lifted his brow, "You been paying attention to someone else a lot then Danya?" He asked with a sly grin, his hips jerked when she squeezed his ass, "Shit woman..you're going to give me a hard on." He laughed, "Might have to find a closet or something." He teased as he pulled his fingers through his beard.

[08:37] Sister Ophelia  (verafirefly) busied herself with cleaning the rec room, putting all of the toys away in the trunk and whatnot so that nobody slipped and fell once the public began arriving for the AA meeting yet to commence.

[08:37] Danya Grayman laughs softly again. She's been in a good mood since getting her therapy. Shaking her head she rolls her eyes slightly. "No, but any time I try he's a good little cock blocker. That's alright, though, probably better that way." Looks around for a closet. "Think we're out of luck there, thankfully. Would be a bit awkward." Pats his back gently.

[08:41] Kian Traviss (blankidea) made a snorting noise, "Actually there's the confessional, it's unoccupied." He went for the boob grab anyway, she started it. "C'mon, a quickie for old times sake." he urged her, trying to pull her into the Sanctuary and waggling his brows at her, did he really think she'd give him a quick piece of ass? No. But hey the man was relentless in his efforts.

[08:44] Danya Grayman chuckles and shakes her head, disengaging from him and all but rolls her eyes. "No, I have been refraining from that, as well. When I found myself looking for a male hooker to bang, I decided that sex was a problem too.  However, very, very tempting." She reaches up and tugs his beard. "Thank you though."

[08:48] Rʜɪᴀ (dolorific) wandered back once again to the forever-imposing building, following the protocols to get herself through the gate and moving up to the entryway when she was buzzed in. Hopping up the steps and approaching the open doors just in time to hear, and witness, the tail-end of a conversation about propositions and male hookers? Well that was unexpected, giving a small lopsided smirk, simply lifting her hand in silent greeting as she moved through the door. Though, the smile immediately dropped when she spotted Kian, continuing to say nothing as she just wandered on back and attempted to avoid meeting his gaze as she tucked herself out of the way.

[08:50] Sister Ophelia  (verafirefly) nearly spilled the connect four game as Kian entered the room, grateful that a female also followed along to which she'd offer a soft smile, "Good morning, Mr. Traviss, and. . .?" She wasn't familiar with the woman, but her greeting would be warm regardless. Hands quickly shelved the game before approaching and offering a gentle nod. "I'd better man the door." Sister Ophelia attempted to excuse herself, and moved towards the door. In passing, she would clasp her fingers to her rosary, murmuring a soft hail mary as she sought to escape Kian's presence after yesterday's embarrassment. Cheeks red with color as her hazel eyes landed on Rhia, "Welcome....we....welcome, my child." The latina stammered, exhaling sharply.

[08:51] Danya Grayman laughs heartily as she follows him. "Yes, let's all drink the koolaid." Chuckles at her own joke. She clucks her tongue gently when he flops down. "Maybe they have some of that super sugared iced tea you all love to drink so much down here." Looks to the couch and tries to decide if she wants to sit or not. "Danya, sister." Then looks to her hasty exit and looks at Kian with an eyebrow arched high.

[08:56] Kian Traviss (blankidea) wagged his finger, "No no, dont' include me in that bullshrimp...i am from the north therefore it's unsweet tea all the way." He grinned and watched Sister O, "Good morning sweet sister." HE said to her and watched her leave a moment before turning his gaze back to Danya and caught the look, "Whaaaat?" He said and held his hands out.

[08:58] Rʜɪᴀ (dolorific) would have taken a step back when the garbed brunette flitted over to her, if she didn't already feel the wall against her shoulder.. Her features wavered with a little bit of hesitance but she'd offer the tight-lipped smile at the stammered greeting. "He-ey Sister. I, er.. Nevermind." Wrist once again flicked in an odd salute-like wave before she took an exaggerated step to the side, glancing towards Kian and Danya as she tried to figure out what she was doing here.

[09:00] Father Alec (landonalec) sat in his chair a few moments longer, the meeting would start in a bit and he wanted to go over his notes again, he kept wondering though if Rhia had left town already. He wasn't even looking at the computer where the camera monitors were, he was just that forlorn, melancholy even. ((post around me))

[09:02] Sister Ophelia  (verafirefly) called as she ducked out the room, "a pleasure, Miss Danya," Spanish influence purred her tongue as she headed for the door. "Welcome, welcome, Miss. . .I know the meeting is set to begin soon. I'm going to go to the door and welcome any stragglers into the rec room. Make yourself comfortable!" Sister O had composed herself to a cheerful demeanor, struggling to exude warmth despite the conflicted feelings within her bubbling beneath the surface. Sensible, flat soled shoes softly thudded on the polished floors as she approached the double doors, eager to stick her face into the spring air.

[09:02] Danya Grayman grins a lopsided grin. "Nothing. Nothing at all." Snickering softly she plops her ass down, smoothing her skirt down. "Tea should only be served hot, with sugar and cream. None of this iced bullocks. And Koolaid is only good when it's mixed with booze. Not poison." Slides her phone from her pocket and turns the ringer off. "How is your da?"

[09:06] Kian Traviss (blankidea) rolled his eyes, "Now that's where you're wrong lady!" He chuckled and looked over his shoulder to spot Rhia, his face fell into a bit of a scowl but he wasn't going to say anything to her right now, what would be the point. He turned back to look at Danya, "We aren't supposed to be drinking, you know that." He laughed, although he had and was going to again later, as far as he knew. "He's good, divorced Claudia, finally..that cunt." He grinned.

[09:09] Rʜɪᴀ (dolorific) continued to look around, making herself look very much lost in the process, though whatever she was trying to find seemed to be a fruitless search as she looked back to the two in the room with fair disappointment. Nodding as Sister O gave the bubbly greeting, her smile looking like it might crack her cheek if she tensed the muscles any further with the feigned grin. Finally she'd move into the room and beeline for the piano, overhearing the discussion about Koolaid and tea and catching Kian's scowl, to which she'd mirror it with the same furrowed grimace as she plonked to sit sideways on the bench, a finger idly pressing on a couple of the keys as she just eavesdropped silently.

[09:12] Danya Grayman shrugs a little bit and rolls her shoulders. "Don't get me wrong, I hate tea. Give me coffee. An' I'm not drinking! Just talking about it. It...helps?" Snickers softly and glances at the woman over in the doorway. Noted, but she doesn't push it. not her business. "Oh, oh good! Please let him know if he needs anything I'll be more than happy to help. He's always been decent. She's...yeah well glad he's free from her. I'll send him frozen meals if he's needing it." Looks quite amused, but worries for the old man. Unless he gets a girl quick, he may get too fat on out-to-eat dinners.

[09:12] Sister Ophelia  (verafirefly) sighed gently as her shoulders rested on the doors, Sister O stole a glance out the windows, though gratefully no others had shown up which gave her a few moments to compose her thoughts. Inner thighs burned as she pressed them together, heat flushed at her cheeks. She was a horrible nun, she felt, perhaps a failure at God's duty as her inability to keep her thoughts pure and aligned to his Will, always being drug down into the depths of hedonism. She'd have to relieve some tension later with her electric tooth brush. Sweat beaded her hairline just beneath her habit, and her lids fluttered shut as she clutched her rosary tightly in her palm to the point she thought she might puncture the flesh. Prayers whispered in spanish flooded her full lips.

[09:15] Kian Traviss (blankidea) laughed and shook his head, "You may be right about dad, he's going hog wild with the freedom, booze..women." He cringed and even shivered, "Ugh...he's like an older version of me." He reached over and squeezed Danya's knee, a little high up though, "You're a gem, i'm sure he'll appreciate it." He all but ignored the woman at the piano, she'd tried to blackmail him after all and he barely remembered having his dick in her.

[09:17] Elvira (strawberryfieldss) rode the waves of the ups and downs that came along with addiction, the benevolent seeming nurse would go from compassionate to trying to burn someone within a blink.  The more she slipped having episodes of withdrawal in between the more more erratic they could become.  When Vita started making perfect sense to her, she knew somewhere int he deep recesses of her mind she should be worried, no terrified and screaming to get away.  But here she was, gracing the steps of the every so catholic rehab facility that tormented its occupants with anti psychotics and the good word of the lord, not to mention practices that had fallen out of use since the dark ages.  The sight of Ophelia gave her pause, she glanced at the nun standing in the doorway as she did every Sunday to greet guests even as Elvira opted to finish her cigarette outside.  Her attire was anything but her Sunday finest as it barely contained her breasts with its low dip and left every curve and outline of her ass.  She balanced with ease on her

[09:17] Elvira (strawberryfieldss):  heels as a playful grin toyed at her lips.  Fingers curled about the lighter at her throat as she clutched it like the good sister might her cross.  "Sister, how are you this fine Sunday?"

[09:19] Father Alec (landonalec) finally got up and headed into the room, "Hello people." He said, "I'm Father Alec, for those you I do not know." He said and smiled at each one of them, his eyes lingered on Rhia and he was speechless for a moment before gathering himself. "Ms. Skylark, glad you could make it." he said even though his heart was beginning to pound furiously in his chest, he had to force himself to move, to stand in front of the fireplace. "Are you all quite comfortable, if you need anything, Sister Ophelia will be able to assist you." He told them and clasped his hands in front of him.

[09:23] Sister Ophelia  (verafirefly) opened the door for the Nurse, of course. She was more than eager to have staff on a Sunday, when orderlies and doctors were in short supply, being the south and whatnot. "My goodness, Elvira, you're looking lovely today. . .I'm glad you've come to attend. . .It's so quiet here today!" Which was far from the truth in her opinion, but she struggled to maintain that sunny demeanor. Nostrils filled with the scent of cigarette smoke as Elvira approached, which won her a chiding glare though nothing was mentioned as she wasn't the ruler-smacking type of nun yet in her career of doing the lord's work. "i'm doing quite well. . .the meeting will begin soon, please come in, have some tea. . ." The brunette latina shifted to press her body against the door frame, allowing Elvira and any stragglers to pass.

[09:23] Rʜɪᴀ (dolorific) kept her head half-turned at the piano though would watch Kian's hand as it landed on the redheads thigh, though she'd not react or respond in any way other than with an increasing scowl. She prided herself in her passive ability to just not care, but that man grated on her and for reasons she didn't completely understand, or care to, she loathed him. But still, she'd be thankful for the distraction of the piano, keying it until she'd catch Father Alec's form slipping through the doorframe as she'd jerk her head up and a noticeably genuine, bright smile emerged, ridding the previous frown that had furrowed her features. "I.. Thank you for inviting me." She'd respond with a little hoarseness, but continued smile as she fixed her eyes on him and white-knuckle gripped the edge of the bench now.

[09:24] Danya Grayman chuckles softly. She nods a little bit. "I can see that. You are a spitting image of him, Kian. But he needs to be careful, while you're younger and your body can take the abuse, his may not be able to. Especially his liver. And heart. Hope he doesn't take the blue pill." Pat his hand on her thigh, partly to keep it from going further up and part to just have a friendly gesture, something Hathian was not known for. She straightens up when the priest comes in and smiles. "Good morning Father. Is there going to be koolaid?" She felt the tension in the air almost like it could be cut with the typical knife, but can't help but think that's how all AA meetings are.

[09:27] Kai Slater (runawaystreetrat) reads the address from the photo of the flier he took with his phone, and feels a strange sense of deja vu when he sees the place. It looks not unlike the estate of a childhood friend back in the Malibu hills. He pushes forward, a feeling of unease coming over him as he reaches the front steps and sees the nun speaking with the woman. He nearly turned on his heel and walked back to Hathian, but something stopped him. Maybe it was the growing sense that his life was spiraling out of control. Maybe it was the words of Detective O'Neil in her squad car. Maybe it had to do with the incident yesterday....yes, that was probably it. He swallowed hard and mounted the wide steps to the front door. "Hello, Sister." he said in a hesitant voice.

[09:28] Elvira (strawberryfieldss) tossed the cigarette in to the small receptacle that had graced the outside of every building known to man these days.  She seemed as if she might correct the sister at the moment about actual work being done today but she changed her mind.  Instead the nurse paused taking the good sister's hand in her own if she allowed it and smiled at her.  "You are always so kind welcoming those in to the facility, Sister.  I will go check on the patients to make certain the meeting is uninterrupted, of course.  I had not planned to work today..."  She paused motioning to her attire.  "But I am always so pleased to be of service here."  She released her hands and set forth to the stairs towards the supply rooms where the medications and maintenance items lay so she might tend to the rooms above her.

[09:29] Kian Traviss (blankidea) felt his entire body slump a bit as she talked about his dad's health, "I think he takes the other thing, Cialis or something." He admitted, "Really, I don't want to think about that kind of thing, he's a grown man, if you want...you can call him up and nag him, just ...dont' nag me. You're not my girl anymore." He jerked his hand off her knee and folded it up under his other arm, a defensive posture and literally in a bad mood now, thinking of his dad's impending death. He looked over at Landon and lifted his hand from beneath the other, "Morning Father Alec." He said and went back to scowling.

[09:32] Father Alec (landonalec) looked at the few gathered, trying not to stare too long at Rhia, would people notice? Would they know the deep seated attraction he had for this woman? Would they know that he'd made love to her just the night before, and all day...like lovers readying themselves to part, for that heart ache. It hit him then, all the despair and melancholy of her leaving him today, to go to California. He wouldn't look at her, lest that temptation be there to plead, to beg her to stay, to keep being his dirty little sinful secret. He cleared his throat, "Okay! Let's get started, would anyone wish to begin?" He asked and moved to a chair and sat down, looking perhaps miserable in his own skin.

[09:35] Danya Grayman frowns a little bit and reaches out to pat his knee gently. "Hey, sorry. I know. Didn't mean to hit a nerve. Not this time." She pulls her hand back and looks sullen herself. She didn't want to argue or fight, not anymore. It bothers her where it used to be she didn't care. Watching her hands in her lap now, more than the priest or the strange woman. Getting started, where to begin. She waits for someone else to start so she can know how to start. Or get the courage to start.

[09:39] Rʜɪᴀ (dolorific) couldn't do much more than smile as she remained perched on the bench, still clutching it rather intensely as she struggled with far too many impulsive, fleeting thoughts that were so determined to launch her off the stool and into a precarious position and instead she'd just sit rigidly and silently will him to look at her while her thoughts continued to scream so violently she'd have to take a moment to ensure they were indeed just her thoughts. She'd be jarred back to reality with the awkward sound of a clearing throat and his words, though unlike he who was trying to avoid her gaze, she continued to lock her eyes on him, having no intention of speaking and simply taking the opportunity to watch and study him, to simply be in his presence for as long as she could, oblivious to the goings-on around and simply zeroed in on him. As far as she was aware, they were the only ones in the room.. And oh, how she wished that to actually be the case.

[09:42] Elvira (strawberryfieldss) strode away with the steady click of her heels gracing the stairs.  The patients knew that sound, the nurse was the only one that would wear high heels to any life event, even a marathon.  A wicked smile twisted on her face even as her painted lips would purse and she began to whistle a happy tune.  The not so snow white of the infirmary began to go through the closets, finding those hidden nooks and crannies where glorious things had been stashed, such as her beloved baseball bat and of course a spare fuel tank.  She paused eying up the glorious picture of Saint Labia and made a mental note that this delightful piece of art must be saved.  Her whistling drifted off down the hallways as she began to check the rooms to see which were and were not occupied at the present.

[09:42] Kian Traviss (blankidea) waved off Danya's apology and then looked to Landon as he began the meeting. "It's fine." He murmured and watched as the kid with the curly blonde mop on his head came in and sat down. He watched as Father Alec sat down and then when noone else responded, he stood up and stepped out in the center of the room. "Okay, i'll begin. Hello, my name is Kian and I'm an addict." He told them, "Not just drugs and alcohol but sex, it all pretty much goes hand in hand with me. I've been sober for six days." He told them all to start off.

[09:47] Danya Grayman rubs her hands on her skirt and she sits up straight, to pay attention. Six days. She really didn't hide the pride on her face for Kian. They may no longer be together or even really speaking, but the kid upstairs sleeping is enough for her to still give a shit about the man. She was proud of him being sober that long in Hathian. Slight smile as she listens. Maybe this will be a good meeting, a good start.

[09:49] Father Alec (landonalec) got comfortable and watched Kian as he stood and began, he really didn't enjoy hearing Kian talk about his deplorable sexual stories, usually including men but he had to, it was his job, his calling. Yet could he really speak, he had sinned, perhaps one of the greatest sins a man could make against his God. His eyes flicked toward Rhia and he exhaled, she was staring at him and he stared back at her, intently.

[09:49] Kai Slater (runawaystreetrat) knew from The Killing on Netflix and countless other tv shows that when someone stands in front of a room at AA or NA and says their first name, all the drones in attendance have to murmur "Hello, Kian." in a dull monotone, which Kai does. He then turns red, as he seems not to have been joined by everyone. He self-consciously tugs at the tank top they found for him at Sheltered Hearts while they tried to clean the blood out of his sweater, trying to hide his nips, which kept hanging out one side or the other. He sits slumped in the seat, checking out the girls, mostly, and avoiding the gaze of the priest who is running the meeting.

[09:57] Rʜɪᴀ (dolorific) had never been to any kind of AA meeting before, honestly she had no real intent of coming and actually participating, her being here simply an excuse to see Father Alec, and to just be near him, and she would relish every single irrelevant little moment of that aspect. She had no intentions of niceties, of addressing the arrival of the raggedy blonde and the unhidden stare that accompanied him, or responding to Kian when he stood up and began to speak of his sobriety, she didn't care and didn't have any intention of pretending to. Her addition was perched right across the room from her, and she had no desire to abstain. But, somehow, she'd manage to just sit quietly, a tiny smile forming now that he returned her unbreaking gaze as she lifted her legs from the ground and draped her arms around them, struggling to keep herself from launching up and flinging those arms around him and his broken physique.

[09:58] Elvira (strawberryfieldss) paused, of course, at the medicine cabinet as she gave a small grin.  What a waste if these little gems were lost, and so Elvira helped herself to a couple of the random bottles tucking them in her back pocket for later.  She lugged the cannister of fuel about in one arm, the bat resting in the other hand as she casually swung her arm back and forth.  She whistled her way down the hall even as she would rap on a door with it checking to see who is inside.  As she gathered each patient a finger of her bat wielding hand was brought to her lips as a shhhhh sound was issued through her Cheshire grin.  When the room was empty she would leave the few huddled and confused souls safely in the corner of one of the larger rooms.  She strode with purpose in to each wing, the lid popped off the cannister as she began to slosh the flammable fuel on to the bedding, the drapes, anything that would truly light well.  Methodically this is how she would proceed, her eyes growing wider, more maniacal as the promise of sweet revenge for all they did to Vita drove her.

[09:59] Kian Traviss (blankidea) looked over at the blonde kid and smiled, "Hey man." He responded, he did it right although these meetings were less 'typical' in his experience. He took a deep breath and then continued, "six days ago...I not only drank but I took a pill that...well, it's called rolling. It enhances your....perception of things, i'm sure most of you know what I'm talking about." He said and laughed a little hesitantly, "Anyway, I found myself in a hotel room with a friend of mine and a cock in my mouth." He shrugged, "it's a difficult conclusion really, did I ever see myself in this position? No, not really. This is the nature of the beast, it doesn't stop for me to get off, it just keeps going, round and round and i'm just too damned afraid to leap off the train you know."

[10:02] Danya Grayman grins a bit lopsided at the man with the monotone voice, who's seen way too many tv shows of AA meetings. Or..maybe that's how they're supposed to go. Hell if she knows. Nods with what Kian says about drinking an winding up with a cock in the mouth. Been there, done that, didn't even know the name. Some of them fueled with Kian, some of them recently. Tries to give Kian full attention, but her eyes wander to the other people in the room, wondering what their experiences were.

[10:05] Father Alec (landonalec) checked his watch and frowned, he stood up, "I have to check in on a patient, excuse me...uh carry on, Kian." He said and strode past Rhia with a lingering look, he had to go to the bathroom, literally..his stomach, nerves. He was upset and he just needed to get control of himself a moment. He took the back stairs and headed up to office where little Logan was, used that private bathroom and then decided to play with the baby as he was waking and nobody was near to attend him.

[10:07] Vevila (vevila.scarmon) stepped on quieter feet as she approached the steps, moving up towards the back of the nun who stood in the doorway as if she was St Peter herself. As those steps grew shorter Vevila's dainty hand saw fit to draw her knife quickly from it's sheath, Vita's words still lingering in her mind. The young carnie was quick, stepping into the nun's personal space from behind, a dainty hand wrapping around to slap a hold over the servant of god's preaching mouth. It that held held true, she'd drive that knife into the base of the nun's spine. It wouldn't be a instant or quick death, oh no, but she'd never dance again. If that blade stuck deep it's mark Vevila would hold the nun against her in that locked embrace, wanting to cradle her still to stand.

[10:09] Rʜɪᴀ (dolorific) frowned as she watched Father Alec stand and move from the room, her body initially flinching as she wanted to follow him and her first response was to do just that.. However her attention was stolen back to the room as Kian rambled about his bender and ending up with a cock in her mouth and she was so very rudely jerked back into the reality of it, knowing she could not simply take off after him. So, she'd wait a moment, deciding she would excuse herself after enough time had passed to be discreet, and instead returned an irritated scowl pointed at the back of Kian's stupid head.

[10:09] Kai Slater (runawaystreetrat) starts to make a mental note to find out more about that pill the guy in the suit mentions, then changes his mind as he hears the rest of the story, his sea blue eyes going wide as he stares at the floor. The enhanced perception thing sounds great--the waking up with some dude's cock in your mouth? Not so great. He flicked his eyes at everyone in the room, trying to get off a smile at the redhead on the couch near him. He dreaded having to speak, hoping for some sort of deus ex machina to save him from it as he regrets showing up. Hell! He's not even a proper alcoholic--is he? Well, O'Neil certainly thinks so, but what the fuck does she know?

[10:15] Vita Crowley (atrophy) uncapped the gasoline tankard she held in her hands, approaching alongside Vevila's adept knife strike, awaiting the steel to pierce its' intended target and her sister to pull back slightly before seeking to splash the face and dark habit of this caramel fleshed, godly woman with the gasoline within. The urge to squeal with delight teased at the twin tips of her split tongue, but she bit this back, killed the impulse to scream like a banshee as the game had just begun. Her free hand moved to her firearm, and moved to shove it down the front of her bodice as key and lock were unclasped and one of two thick chains was removed from corset-modified waistline which was free from constriction on this day she would perhaps need full range of motion. If Bunny had followed them just within the door, Vita would turn and wrap the chain around the door and clasp the oversized lock and chain upon its' doors, before snapping it into place. One set remained, one perhaps to be used later if she were fortunate.

[10:20] Kian Traviss (blankidea) felt a little more than awkward at having to admit such abominable things in front of people he disliked AND his ex, but it was how this was supposed to happen. He held no secrets, not that he didn't care what people thought, well he didn't' but he needed this as a healing process, recovery. He dropped his face into his hands and was ominously quiet, spread his fingers and started speaking through them, "You got to understand, I can't fucking help myself." He said, cussing freely now that the man of God was out of the room, "I would drop to my knees in front of a thousand dicks just to make myself feel good again and I dont' want to!" He called out aggressively, "I want it to end..it's not the sexual act..it's the fucking NEED to do it." He groaned and dropped his hands to his sides, "I just...i want to feel human again, you know?" He said and looked directly at Danya, a smile on his face, a reserved smile, "for my kids...for my family...for me." He trailed off, the last words spoken softly.

[10:22] Danya Grayman watches the priest leave and she frowns slightly at his back. The man running the thing leaves? Allllllrighty. Something was going on, but there is a slight shrug, a roll of her shoulders really, and she puts her attention back on Kian. That pill though, sounds fantastic and makes her mouth water. Enhanced perception. He did always have the best drugs and combinations. Her thoughts drift as Kian speaks, moving to the bean. A great light in her life, and no regrets about it. Even if the little shit cock blocks more than a nun. Kian drew her attention again when he cussed. She nods at him with a gentle smile when he mentions for his kids. That is the only reason she's here. Her kids, and herself. "Amen."

[10:22] Bunny Crowley (kitty.laroway) nearly clapped as Vevila took the nun into her grasp, weilding her knife and plunging it about. It certainly halted her song, causing silence to creep across her masticated maw. She took a few steps forward and stilted a chuckle from falling out of her mouth as she looked on into the building with a single working cerulean hue. She then turned to Vita and nearly shouted in glee as she got out the gasoline and began pouring it this way and that. She then looked to the door watching the way Vita manipulated and tore off locks. She moved in behind her and readied her ax, ready to swing it at the wood as soon as she got the head nod from Vita, not wanting to accidentally decapitate her.

[10:22] Elvira (strawberryfieldss) one by one patients roamed free, some still in pajamas in a medicated daze as they marveled at roaming about.  Others looked like true escapees of an asylum from a horror film.  There was no telling what the nurse was letting go free, the unstable, the predators, a drop in the bucket in the sunny little town of Hathian.  One by one the rooms were soaked with gasoline.  Elvira weighed our her cannister in her hand as she tested to see how much she had left, hearing that sloshing noise she banked on perhaps one more room.  She had not heard the priest come upstairs as she had been quite occupied herself.  She paused in the hallway setting the cannister down a moment even as she fished out a piece of gum in one of her pockets before popping it in her mouth.  There was the sound of a popping bubble that announced her presence at the same time the click of her heels did.  Her singsong voice came through the hallway as she finished the final line of a children's song. "Ashes, ashes, we all burn down."  That

[10:22] Elvira (strawberryfieldss):  final phrase is when she picked up the canister again and she held the bat out with her other arm as the nails dragged down the wall leaving their mark even as the scraping sound grated the ears of anyone present.

[10:23] Sister Ophelia  (verafirefly) gurgled more than anything, especially as the gasoline flooded her eyes, nose, and throat, preventing her ability to breathe. dark, maroon filled her mouth, mixing with the fuel as Vevila's knife pierced her spinal column, severing precious nerves and the brain stem would rapidly lose signal. Limbs flailed uncontrollably and she sank in a crumpled heap to the ground just within the door of sunnyview, doused in gasoline. The habit tumbled from her head, and her skull cracked the floor with a lifeless thud. The woman's eyes twitched, blinking perhaps due to the last bars of activity before dimming. The awkward, lust-indulgent nun grasped at anything, anyone, perhaps even her claw-like curled digits sought to grip at one of Bunny's ankles in her death throes.

[10:29] Rʜɪᴀ (dolorific) really didn't want to, but a certain degree of empathy was felt towards Kian, his words resonated with her. Although she'd gotten over the worst of her physical withdrawals, and she had been so fortunate as to have found a rather wonderful distraction in the form of a Priest with perfectly defined cheekbones and a jawline for days.. She knew deep down that the moment she no longer had him, she would once again find her own ruin in due time, once again needing something to fill that desire to feel good, wanted, and complete. Her sympathy for him wouldn't last long as she looked towards the ceiling, wondering if enough time had passed for her to follow Landon, then when the talk turned to 'doing it for his family' she'd roll her eyes and stand, taking a few steps to start to move from the room, to go and find him.

[10:29] Vevila (vevila.scarmon) closed those pretty blue eyes to the sound of that knife sinking and striking bone. Being a dainty little thing she couldn't hold the nun upwards and upright, Instead Vevila watched the Nun who was now dragging betweer her self forwards by grabbing anything and any one with her desperate reaching hands, the knife still burried in the hilt at the base of her spine. "No lightening....no plaques...no burning rain"People of the Cloth never really conflicted with her family, not until now. The young Crow reached down to go grab her knife, wanting to tug it free from the grip of the poor nun's spine, whispering in the ear of her poor victim. "Stay with us....just for a little longer...."

[10:31] Father Alec (landonalec) smiled kindly and bent over the baby's makeshift crib, he picked him up and held him with outstretched arms to look at Kian and Danya's son. He had baptized many a baby and had planned on baptizing Logan as well soon, but today as his eyes roamed over the small child he couldn't help but get that feeling. The feeling that he might want to father a child some day, something that never entered his thoughts before, it wasn't in his plan, his fathers' plan nor God's plan, or was it? He could have already planted the seed, it was a possibility that just struck him and he smiled again at the boy, curling him close to his chest and seemed mesmerized by the coo's of the darling child. He heard something out in the hallway and looked up at the door, blinking a bit to clear his mind, even stepping toward the door to see what it was.

[10:33] Kai Slater (runawaystreetrat) 's regrets about coming to this damned AA meeting intensify greatly as the guy speaking continues. Kai mutters darkly to himself "Shit, didn't know this was the cocksuckers anonymous meeting, musta got the wrong room" in a low rumble, which he then covers with a fake cough.  Kai jumps visibly as the speaker raises his voice about his compulsion and then his KIDS,  and without any bidding, Kai's mind turns to that cell at the HPD, where he sees once again the face of that fucking bastard Luther in front of him. That unwanted memory flash turns into a more pleasant one of Luther slumped over, quite possibly dead, in his fucking hillbilly truck at the Pink and despite his dread, a slow smile spreads across his face, which he directs at all gathered in the room.

 

[10:37] Elvira (strawberryfieldss) Elvira's pretty little face popped around the door, as did the rest of her, slinking around the door frame like a cat in heat by the way she moved.  The nurse stepped towards him as she held the cannister of fuel still the bat coming to reach out ever so lightly, nails hooking at the fabric of his pants yet not piercing it should he allow her so close.  "Bless me father, for I have sinned.  It has been so long since my last confession."  The words tumbled from her lips like foreplay and he could see that glint of lust in her eyes as she focused on him, uncaring of the infant also present.  "I've been such a bad girl, father.  I try to be good, but the worse I am, the better it feels and I cannot stop the ache."  She traced her pink tongue along her lips as she looked as if she might try to molest the man against his free will, but the gasoline and bat said otherwise.

[10:39] Vita Crowley (atrophy) glared down at the nun whom was still moving, suckling on the end of her cigar which burned down slowly, ash filtering to the ground though thankfully not any embers to catch the newly baptised nun aflame quite yet. Vita moved into the sanctuary, though there was nothing careful or harmonious about the way she threw the fuel around. She was fast, heart thundering in her chest, sweat beading upon her brow through the grease paint and she moved into the reception room, freely pouring the gasoline until another doorway afforded her entrance into Father Alec's office, this too was to be baptized with the contents of her red plastic vessel, "This way...this way. . . .tick tock, tick tock. . .where is that asshole!" Blood tinged, tattered lips trembled as the priest was not to be found on his throne, and she would set the container of gasoline down, running back to join her sisters. The cigar was delicately plucked from her lips and she gestured towards the chapel with its' cylindrical length first as her murky eyes sought out Bunny and Vevila, the sisterly duo most beloved. "Ready?" It wouldn't afford them much time once they set the place ablaze, but it would force the cockroaches from its' cracks. . .and the biggest one of them all was Father Alec in her addled opinion.

[10:44] Kian Traviss (blankidea) was about to go on when he heard and saw Vita pass by the group therapy room. "What the..." He said and went to the doorway, "What's going on?" He called, his eyes big and round as he started to take in the scene at the chained front door, "Shit...." He was speechless, his head whipped around to Danya, "Logan!" He barked out and started to rush toward the end of the stairs, right past Rhia and near the sisters, trying to avoid the bloody mess that was on the floor.

[10:44] Sister Ophelia  (verafirefly) 's lips trembled, not with the calm peace that oft comes with one in their last moments, but only a question, "W-wh-why..." Wasn't she supposed to know this answer?! And then nothingness...No great white light, no ascension to their Heavenly Father. It was black, breaths slowed to a dull, rattled wheeze, piss leaked out of her cunt into her stockings, and the curtains closed on the young brunette nun whom had such promise to live a fufilled, quiet life doing what she believed was the Lord's Work. Now all for naught, as she met her demise at the end of a well practiced, Crow-wielded blade.  (thank you all!)

[10:44] Rʜɪᴀ (dolorific) would have liked to cackle and provoke further when she heard the blonde's muttered insult, finding plenty of delight in his words, however as she stood and glanced down the hallway in the direction she'd assume the Priest had moved only to be greeted by the scene of Sister O crumpled on the floor and the dark figures of armed, weaponized, fabulously accessorized, terrifying women standing over her. Her face dropped, and she'd freeze as she struggled to comprehend the sight, having little disregard for those in the room behind her she'd lurch to the side and dash towards the sanctuary, though she'd be unable to stop herself from calling out in frantic terror as she moved. "Landon!"

 

[10:45] Bunny Crowley (kitty.laroway) looked down as the hand wrapped around one of her ankles. She gruffly kicked it off before rearing her foot back and swinging it, connecting with the dead nun's skull with a "thud!" She'd take a few steps backwards and shake her head before looking back to her sisters. The ax would have been lowered but now it was back upward and alerted, graped between leather covered digits. She looked over to Vevila and watched her whispering and moving to free her knife. She smiled to herself before looking back to Vita. She hadn't needed her to open the door after all. She moved in after her watching as gasoline was thrown in every direction. Bunny wanted to help, but there wasn't a soul in site to ax down, at least...not yet. She reached her free hand for the lighter dangling around her neck and plucked it off her neck before holding it high in the air. She offered a sharklike grin to Vita and nodded her head once. "ready as ever, let the sky burn and ashes rain down on all, let us be cleansed hm?" She wanted to  clap her hands together but both were preoccupied. She snapped her head to the side suddenly as she looked at Kian coming to the dooray. "Now now now, whose come and tried to ruin all the fun?" She tisked her tongue along the roof of her mouth before lifting the ax back up into the air and pointing it at him. "Wanna have a little fun?" She whispered.

[10:46] Danya Grayman glares at the man on the couch when he speaks lowly to himself. Leaning over she says lowly, but with force, the look on her face a little scary. She seems like she can be quite crazy. "Shut your hole before I put something in there to make you shut it. There are a lot of gay male whores in town." There is a bit of a sneer on her face, not caring if everyone heard her. She still feels like she wants to protect Kian. At least in this aspect. Frowning she stands up to look where he says shit. When Kian yells the bean's name in that tone, her heart drops down into her belly. "No..." With that she will bolt after Kian to get to her baby upstairs.

[10:48] Kai Slater (runawaystreetrat) 's eyes follow the speaker Kian as he darts out of the room, wondering what in FUCK is going on, when his attention is diverted by the cute redhead sitting to his left. His face is a comical mask of surprise as she goes off on him and jumps up, then runs out after the other guy. What the FUCK kind of an AA meeting is this? Usually they are boring as fuck on the tv then end with everyone having coffee and donuts and a few of them heading out behind the meeting hall to smoke crack! He sits there, not knowing what to do, checking out the room for possible exit hatches should the meeting go even MORE nuts.

[10:50] Father Alec (landonalec) stopped short when he saw Elvira come into the room weilding a bat and a gas can, "Nurse Elvira, what...what are you doing?" He jerked back a step when the nails ripped at his pants, he held the baby close to his chest, protectively, his eyes turning to saucers even as confused as he was, he could tell this woman wasn't exactly friendly at this moment. He heard a shout, then another and then his name and his heart quickened, "What's the matter, what's going on?" he asked as he started to try and go around the woman in front of him. Little did he know that his most loyal and devoted servant had just perished, he himself still hadn't realized he was in danger yet.

[10:51] Vevila (vevila.scarmon) took a hold of the dying sister's neck, wrenching her back until she sat up against the wall, leaving her to crouch down beside her as she expelled all that she held dear. That river of blood now grew even larger as it mixed in with the dying nun's urine,, running under Vevila's boot heels. "Nothing makes me sadder, than the nun who lost her bladder!..." At the pleas of why Vevila simply plucked the cigarette holder from her lips to then settle it between rattling wheezing gasps of the nun, allowing her the gift of a few puffs before she expired and shuffled off to the afterlife she so hoped for. "Because it had to be this way..." She soon slapped her attention back onto Vita, nodding just the once. "Ready" Up she bounced, knife in hand, bat in the other.

[10:53] Vita Crowley (atrophy) was caught red handed proverbially, and she would toss the cigar towards the open, gasoline-splashed doors of the sanctuary which would burst into a millieu of fire-fly like embers before catching in a spray of oxygenation, fuel, and now flame which trailed along her splash happy trail. Once both hands were freed, she would tug the axe from her shoulders, wasting no time now that the jig was up and they had little in the element of surprise. Flames began to eat at the walls, licking up the flooring until the nun also would begin to catch. "All are guilty! You! You especially!" Vita screeched. Was he priest? She saw no dark collar, but he was responsible, somehow for this place, she was assured of it in her madness. A single hand lashed out, seeking to grapple about Kian's throat and wrench him back against her figure savagely. Half-hemorrhaged, though functional eyes darted towards the red haired female approaching hastily. "Cut her down! Father Alec, your flock is to be harvested!" She called out to the priest, and also to her sisters who she knew their strike to be true, though she'd had yet to lay eyes upon her prime target. Heat beat upon her back and she sweated heavily in the ill fitting, carnivalesque jacket.

[10:57] Elvira (strawberryfieldss) tsked at the priest as he tried to go around her, holding out the bat in an effort to stop him.  "Excuse me, Father, but I thought we were in the middle of a confession and having a real moment here.  You know, like the kind I' ve have in a closet heatedly after one of your services."  She grinned up to the man protecting the baby and she held up the other can in her hands, sloshing the liquid back and forth as her pale blue gaze swept upward to him with none too angelic intent.  "But if you plan to hide behind that baby, then so be it."  She wrinkled her nose even as she glanced between him and the baby.  She had not planned on the child being present and that itself brought a pang of regret to her somewhere in the corners of her mind where sanity still lurked.  The darkness however cared little. The fire hit below and the rush and roar of it was none to silent, the place had been sufficiently doused.  "You hurt my friend, perhaps you should be confessing to me, on your knees, between my legs begging me not to kill you."

[10:57] Kian Traviss (blankidea) grabbed the end of the banister in order to propel himself around and up the stairs. His eyes widened as Bunny wielded and threatened him with the axe, but what caught him..literally was a hand to the throat. He stared in horror as he was jerked forward, the flames began to lick up quickly around, "No..!" He forced out of his choked throat, "My son....Dan....ya!" He knew she was coming up behind him, or at least hoped so and decided to shove himself forward into Vita, perhaps even she knocking a path so that Danya could jump over the banister and up to get him. He knew he was going to get cut down, "Save..him!" He said in a choked and emotional moan.

[11:01] Rʜɪᴀ (dolorific) tore past the confessional booth just before the doors of the sanctuary erupted into a wall of fire, of course causing her slick-soled shoes to skid to a halt, though momentum had her stumbling before she clawed herself back in the opposite direction as the immense heat constricted and clawed over her skin, causing the air to be drawn from her lungs as it rapidly spread. Hearing the maddened womans cries, aimed at the Priest, she'd feel another sickening surge of horror but all she could do was call out his name a second time, even more frenzied, choking as the smoke quickly flooded the building before clamping a hand over her mouth.. She didn't know what was happening, or what to do, she had just wanted to hold him one more time..

[11:02] Kai Slater (runawaystreetrat) hears the occasional shout from outside the room, politeness and good breeding keeping him rooted to the spot in spite of being the last person in the room. Or maybe it was the fear of still having to speak after the commotion was over. Sure, emotions gotta be running high when some dude just confessed to...well...some fucked up shit. Maybe the chick who got pissed at him and  ran out was his wife! Damn....Kai wouldn't blame her for being a little shocked, not one little bit! It was nearly simultaneously that Kai leaned over to look out the open door for the rest of the alcoholics--and one cocksucker--and smelled smoke. Jumping up, he ran toward the exit--and straight toward even thicker smoke , as it turned out. "Jesus Christ, WHAT THE--?? Seems Kai had finally got religion after all! He pulls the bandana from his hair to cover his nose and mouth.

[11:02] Danya Grayman skids to an all but stop when she sees the crazy woman grabbing Kian. The fire. Fuck. Barreling along she watches Kian barrel into the woman. Kian, she loved him once, but her mind is on her son. Just as his is. She takes said uses the side table to jump up and leap over the railing of the banister. She remembers all the running and jumping she did when in Liberate. Then in the gang. It was like riding a bicycle, only 20 lbs heavier. Fuck, what a time not to lose that weight. She lands hard on the stairs and bangs her knee but doesn't stop. The baby was the only thing on her mind. "Baby...Logan!" All thoughts on the baby.

[11:08] Father Alec (landonalec) stopped and back up a step, his eyes roaming the room looking for what? He shook his head, "Look, i don't know what is going on, i'm not hiding behind this baby but something is severely wrong and I need to make sure this child is safe." He told her, "Let me pass." He said, "I didn't hurt your friend, i've hurt nobody." At least nobody he knew of, treatment was treatment and he could not always control God's path, or his work. He smelled smoke and then gasped, "The child...we must get this child out." He suddenly realized then what the gas can meant, "How could you?" He said and stumbled over toward the open window.

[11:10] Vevila (vevila.scarmon) felt the heat behind as that fire spread across the door way, soon reaching the fallen nun, bringing her bad habit to flame. This was always when things got most chaotic. The young Crow soon spotted two down the hall Rhia and Kai, leaving her to walk slowly towards them, bat in hand, knife in the other. "Hiya!" A set of dainty wiggling fingers waved towards them both around the handle of the knife, approaching closer and closer. "Have you kids been smoking?" she cooed mid cough. "How's god treating you?" she asked as the nun's blood still dripped from her knife.

[11:12] Vita Crowley (atrophy) mashed her face into Kian's as they violently collided. She wasn't a particularly large female, but she was sturdily built, "She's gone to hide the priest!'' Vita hissed as Kian gave the woman direction, interpreting things in her own way. The flames continued to follow the path of the fuel, snaking through the sanctuary as the icons of Jesus and friends bubbled, distorted, and melted beneath the fury of the blood-orange flames. Ophelia's body continued to burn, habit melting to flesh and crimson seeped beneath her, mixing with gasoline which continued into the reception hall and Father Alec's study where Vita had a brief hey-day throwing the fuel about. "Where is he, Where is FATH-UR ALEC" Shoulders violently slammed into the banister under the weight of Kian's desperate movements. Nostrils flared as the scent of flame and fuel, Kian's sweat and bodily odors filled her senses temporarily. "Where is he, rabbit" Through clenched, spit-spittling teeth she demanded of the man in grasp, seeking to bring the  blade to his through as she lurched away from the steps, as she sought to keep this one in her arms. As vevila proceeded to take a delicate run at the blonde duo ahead, eyes desperately moved towards Bunny, and then towards the redhead as she called out once more, "Cut its' little rabbit feet off!" Forked tongue thick with words as the air was growing thin around them as the flames surged on rapidly, feasting on the godly establishment.

[11:15] Elvira (strawberryfieldss) let out a shriek as the priest made an effort to get to the window, his pleas to save the child landed on deaf ears.  Perhaps she would feel bad later, but there was a pill for that.  "No, you wont run!  You will serve your penance!"  She brought her arm up as the smoke rose, the dark gasoline fueled plumes extending thickly and cloyingly through the rehab facility.  She shielded her face to no avail as she coughed from the smoke and swung her bat blindly at the priest while she did so trying to prevent his escape.  He would meet justice with Vita, that was her driving goal.  The cannister of fuel was tossed to the side spilling out over the floor in the room as it pooled and puddled, seeping in to the hardwood and spreading like tiny fingers itching to be ignited and showing its true power.

[11:18] Rʜɪᴀ (dolorific) froze when the woman far-too-chipperly pranced towards them, her own eyes fixed on the bloodied weapons in her wiggling fingers and she'd feel her lungs tightening as the smoke accumulated, the stench of burning fabric and eventually the bubbling flesh of the nun filled the room. "I have to.. I have to see him. Please." She'd splutter, babbling from what was surely an onset of total shock, still unable to fully comprehend she was standing in the center of the burning Sunny View, that Sister O's body was burning before her. All she had wanted was to come say goodbye, to get closure! "..Please, I need to.. Laaandooon!!"

[11:20] Kian Traviss (blankidea) pushed against Vita, but then the axe came to his throat and he didn't much put up a fight since he saw Danya jump that railing just like the old days. He squeezed his eyes shut as he smelled burning flesh, his throat began to burn with the smoke as it started overcoming the oxygen in the room, "I don't.." He coughed, "I don't know..he was just...here." He told her, "I dont'...leave us be, please." He coughed and gripped the woman's upper arm, "My son...please..my son, don't let him die." He pleaded to the maniac, knew that he was at her mercy now, his eyes imploring the insanely made up clown faced woman, he didn't know her or why or how, none of that mattered to him. This was Hathian...God he should have never came here.

[11:21] Kai Slater (runawaystreetrat) sees the chick coming with the baseball bat and the knife, and backs himself up against the wall, his eyes as big and round as that hooker Claire's nipple, hands flying up in surrender, heroically screaming "I'M AN ATHEIST! I'VE SEEN THE BOOK OF MORMON!"

[11:21] Bunny Crowley (kitty.laroway) felt the heat of the flames rise up, and for a moment she relieved what happened to her all over again. Her ruined flesh seemed to recoil as if not wanting to become burnt a second time. She took a step back as Vita grabbed Kian, the roar of the flames drowning out most of what she said. She lost site of Vevila but knew that she would be fine on her own. Not needing the lighter anymore she lowered it back into the confines of her boot only to now grip both hands on the ax. She knew Vita was questioning the man, but couldn't figure out about what. She wanted to make this experience and their escape as easy and as quick as possible. She squinted as he spoke, unable to hear most of the words falling from his lips. She didn't care to hear his pleas regardless. She moved to swing her ax, careful to not hit Vita in the process. She aimed to sink the blade into his thy.

 

[11:25] Danya Grayman races up the stairs, shoes slipping slightly. At the turn, she grabs the banister to swing herself around to get to the baby. Cries out in fear, a strangled voice. "LOGAN!"She smells the smoke, and feels the fire, regrets for her life flash across her brain. She should have been a better girlfriend, a better fiance, a better woman, a better mother. She has to save her child, even if she dies, the baby must survive. Nothing else matters. Hearing the stupid blond yell he's seen the Book of Mormon almost makes her laugh. Almost. She vaults the last step and skids to figure out where the baby is being kept. Voices, she runs to the voices.

[11:29] Vita Crowley (atrophy) released Kian, eyes leveling on his ephemerally, dull and half-hemorrhaged. "Don't worry, you'll all be reunited in death." As Bunny came to chop the man down like a slender sapling, a grubby, skeletally inked hand moved, seeking to gently brush down his cheek. Her flesh was sweaty, clammy, fingers trembling with adrenaline. It was the simplest, non-verbal sign of mercy she offered. She was far from the medicated girl he'd met outside the apartment building, whom had witnessed the nurse above spanking her in the corner for not taking aforementioned medication. "My beautiful bunny. . .kill him quickly. . .please." Sternum twisted as the man ached for his family. Though the woman pounding up the stairs reminded her that there was work to do, surely the red head was going to hide the priest! "That woman's gone to hide the priest, upstairs!" Vita swung her axe then, an opposite arc to the one the rabbit-masked female had taken, seeking to land the keenly sharpened blade into the man's clavicle, as if the gentleness in her caress to his face could have possibly been apologetic for what was intended for him next. She'd not taken a life in years, the last was the woman she set aflame on Bourbon, and somehow, this also was quickly being engulfed by hungry flames. The fire spread, eating up Father alec's study. "Kill them all!" The raven haired woman demanded, frantic as she had not yet found the priest. It was all HIS fault, clearly! The orderly, religious ran facility was a page right out of helter skelter at the moment.

[11:31] Father Alec (landonalec) heard more screams and shouts and looked back at Elvira as he headed toward that window, did he hear Rhia? Oh God, Rhia...what was going on downstairs, the fire..the flames were beginning to lick up the walls. He gasped as the bat swung toward him, he turned his body and lifted his left arm, so that the nailed bat would hit him in the upper back, shoulder, shielding the baby. He cried out as the nails sunk into his flesh, the resounding smack as hard bat hit bone. It pushed him to his knees and he fell into the open window, his right shoulder taking the brunt of the hit but the baby's leg got smashed in between. Logan started to wail even louder than he was before, it broke Landon's heart. The bat was stuck into his shoulder, he cried out again in pain, "Lord!" He worked on trying to get the baby out onto the balcony, opening himself to further attack, if she could separate the bat from his flesh. "What have you done...what have you done?" He started saying over and over.

[11:32] Vevila (vevila.scarmon) could see the look in Rhia's eyes, full of genuine sadness, that or the smoke was making everyone's eyes glassy. Of course Vevila had heard a lot of pleas from a lot of faces in her time, it never moved her then, it wouldn't move her now. Then came Kai's plea, desperate but with full of hope and humor. "You..." she pointed the knife at him. "You want out? Then you have to show me how much you want to live..." Just like that she dropped the knife to the ground, instantly kicking it towards him. "Stab her once, stab her good, that's the toll" she cooed nodding towards Rhia" She drew the only remaining knife she had left. "I keep my word....even as the world burns around us.." Which by now was actually happening. "Time is a wasting, you have the word of Vevila Crow, one deep cut and you may be gone from your hell" Daily life had always been about the trade, life was no different.

 

 

[11:35] Elvira (strawberryfieldss) While she held the bat in his shoulder she tried to anchor herself placing one heeled foot on his back as if this were some casual thing.   She gave a sharp tug at the lighter secured about her neck, the zippo sparked to life in a practiced movement of her hand as she looked up to the priest even as a gleeful smile drew her lips upward in that crooked smile that seemed to be part of her very essence.  "Ashes, ashes, we all fall down."  She sung the words even as the light escape her hands in a toss towards the flammable liquid.  I tumbled over itself the flame never dying as it struck gold, the sudden rush of heat roared to life in the room where Father Alec held the seemingly doomed baby as well.  "Ashes, ashes, we all burn down...."  She twisted the words to her own liking of the song that signified the plague and how the bodies were burned from it.  In her mind she was cleansing this place the same way, age did not matter, they were all infected.  "Where is your god now, Father?  Where is your god  now!  He left you!"  She spat the words at him even as she now used two hands about her bat seeking to tug it free of his flesh for another swing caring not what he did with the baby.  She felt the heat, the sweat it caused being in such close proximity as tendrils of her dark hair clung to her skin giving her a wilder look than she had before.

[11:39] Kian Traviss (blankidea) saw movement and saw the other woman swing an axe toward him, it embedded into his thy..i mean thigh and he screamed out in agony. His hands dropped to his thigh, cradling around the axe blade and he dropped to his good knee, crumbled really. He hadn't recognized Vita in her make up, he didnt' know who she was. He would have been surprised to know that his very own previous tenant had been the death of him. Vita sliced through his shoulder bones and he screamed in further agony, grabbing for her wrist and trying to yank her down with him, to his level. "Go....to ....hell!" He huffed out at him, knowing that Bunny would be delivering a killing blow to him any second now. He tried to bite her then, right in her face if he could manage it. Kian's only real violent act toward any woman, ever..in his life.

[11:41] Danya Grayman reaches the doorway where the people are and skids to a stop. She's there in time to see Alec with the bundle in his hands, on his knees, and the woman pulling the bat out of his shoulder. Seeing the fire, she screams out louder. "LOGAN!" Tunnel vision on the baby, the adults be damned. The man is pushing her baby out...the window? Shit! She slams out the balcony doors to get her baby from the window. That's all that matters, that's all that means anything. Fire everywhere, smoke, she can see the look on the priest's face from where she is. "Logan, my baby...please please be okay!" Kian's screams, she can hear them. It tears at her heart. She still loves the man, damned him. Little does she know, how damned he is right now. Herself included. "Baby...baby..." breathes while she waits?

[11:43] Bunny Crowley (kitty.laroway) sunk the axe deep into his thigh, grunting as she had swung the weapon with all her might. She watched as blood boiled and gurgled upwards, as he fell to his knee. She'd wrench the blade out of him and hold it back upwards, swinging it in an arc through the air. She's coil up her arm muscles, lythe body moving quickly through the air as she cut the blade diagonally through the air aiming it at Kian's neck. As he lunged, biting she'd continue to hurtle the weapon through the air, his momvements making the blade either land mid face or head if it landed at all. She'd yell out as she moved at him, making sure that she didn't hit Vita in the way of the her fury. She'd make everyone pay amongst the flames.

[11:43] Rʜɪᴀ (dolorific) heard the mention of killing the priest and she'd feel a drop of ice-cold dread sink along her spine, her wide, waterlogged eyes taking in the sight of his office being swallowed by flames, the dull roar filling her ears and making everything all the more disorientating as she coughed against her darkening lungs. "Leave him alone, stop.. Stop!!" She'd suddenly bellow, though the forcefulness of her shout had her erupting into another string of coughs, moving to take a lurchingstep forward the woman with her hands outstretched until she heard the frightening woman's offer, to let the man go if he stabbed her.. Further panic surged through her as the exits became quickly swallowed by flame and she'd hear more mentions of Father Alec.. "Landon, Landon please.. Where are you?!" Again she'd shout, her rational thinking was utterly skewed, and all she could think of was getting to him as chaos reigned around them.

[11:47] Father Alec (landonalec) is desperately trying to wedge this small child in the gap beneath the bars, he saw Danya there and a rush of relief crossed his features, pained relief because Elvira was on him, tugging that bat from his shoulder which hurt like hell. The flames licked up his arms, up his priestly jacket and he managed to deposit the child into Danya's waiting hands. "Go!" He yelled and screamed as the bat was swung again, his back arching as the nails connected and his arms swinging fire back toward Elvira, trying to smash into her and forcing the bat from her grip. He was on fire! Orderlies and security bustled about, trying to get the patients out in their haste, it was a skeleton crew today, there were several patients and orderlies trapped by fire, screaming as they perished. One orderly sought to dial 911 once he escaped out the rear balcony, screams and fire blazing everywhere.

[11:48] Kai Slater (runawaystreetrat) bends down and quickly picks up the knife, his face still the very definition of "Holy shit, holy shit, what the FUCK is going on in here?". He looks over at the little blonde, and although he can't shout this to her, he's praying that SOMEHOW his bizarre facial mugging at her is conveying his plan. Jumping in front of her and partially blocking the Crow's view of him, he thrusts the knife toward the woman, aiming for the space between her torso and her arm, mouthing frantically at her "Go down! Go down!"

[11:54] Vita Crowley (atrophy) screamed as she had been focused on so many things at once, searching for Father Alec, hunting the red-head whom she thought went to protect him, and providing perhaps this man's last tender touch in the world. Grease paint smeared, and teeth bit into the flesh of her cheek as the yellowed teeth which were strung across her face from ear literally to ear, dug into the scar-ravaged flesh and she openly bled, facepaint, sweat and blood gushed into the man's maw. The flesh tore back, dangling like wet fabric, tattered on her cheek. She had tumbled to the floor once pulled down, thundering in a clattering heap at his side.  Free hand grabbled with the man's scalp, fingers seeking to grasp tightly through his brunette mane though the whizz of an axe through the air towards Kian's neck caused her to attempt to skitter backward, still holding Kian's hair in hand. The planked floorboards seared her flesh, heated by the raging flames in close proximity. "The red haired woman. . . upstairs. . .kill her. .

[11:54] Vita Crowley (atrophy):  .find...PRIEST." Vita wheezed, in pain, but relentless for revenge. Vita had no idea Elvira had already lit the second level up like the fourth of july, though the saturated linens in the wards would quickly be engulfed and move heatedly to the third floor, offing some of the permanently locked up residents, and several NPC orderlies. Breathing was labored, their time was limited, and she was beginning to dizzy. "We have to be done soon...I want him...I want that PRIEST.'" The raven maned daughter of Jak Jak Jak. . .no the pirate, was absolutely fixated on ending Alec and anyone in her path to get to him.

[11:54] Vevila (vevila.scarmon) was now coughing reguarly as the corridors and rooms filled thicker and thicker with smoke, little by little it was getting harder to see. So she didn't see Kai's slippery act, if Rhia did indeed go down she would buy it, leaving her to swipe a table cloth and offer it out towards the man like a matador. A good gift to have when in a fire, good enough to barge through a flaming door without turning somewhere between well done and crispy. Vevila Crow always kept her word, except on the third thursday every month, that was liar's day in the Crow household.

[11:57] Elvira (strawberryfieldss) leveled the bloody bat at the priest now as she had pried it free, drips of blood coming off the sharp spikes that begged for someone to need their tetanus shots up to date.  The sickening crunch connected making the nurse smile with glee, and perhaps laugh, was she laughing while this all went down?  "You think throwing a baby out a window is going to save your soul?  You are damned!  And I am going to throw that red headed bitch in to the flames to make a point to undo your good work!"  She yelled as rationale completely escaped her now, she was in a fevered pitch only fanned hotter by the flames engulfing the room, seizing the books inside it as fresh fuel causing it to crackle and pop even higher.  Fire kissed her flesh as he swing at her, knocking her in to the wall as she felt the lick of flames against her flesh searing her like a lover's caress.  The jarring sensation and close quarters made the bat an impossible weapon.  "One... two... Vita's coming for you.  Three... four better lock your door.  Five...six get your crucifix."  She sang up to him even as she felt the flames try to catch at her close too and she sought to away of the man lest she go up in flames herself, coughing between versus as the smoke was doing its own damage to her lungs now, making her light headed and clouding her judgment.

[11:59] Danya Grayman crouchs below the window and catches Logan into her waiting hands. Tears stream down her face and she cradles the boy close to her before managing to get out "Bless you...I'm sorry." before she is up and looking for an exit on this balcony. Seeing none, she curls the baby up to her body. "God, please just this once. Please." Climbing over the railing she crouches down, holding onto the railing tight with one hand, tucking the baby against her chest with the other, under her breasts and does all she can to protect the baby as she leaps backwards off the porch. Her last view of the priest was in the fire.

[12:00] Kian Traviss (blankidea) barely registered the strike he had against Vita because as soon as he bit flesh and tasted that coppery bloody taste he was screaming a gargled cry, blood, his own, splurting from his mouth as the axe embedded itself along the head and neck, Bunny might lose that axe, it was a permanent part of Kian now, adorning right behind his left ear. He went down, choking up blood and gasping for bloody breath. Flames and heat licked him in the face and he sputtered out..."Lo...ga..n....Chl...oe..." He remained there, severe pain engulfed him as the flames caught his clothing and he burned, his fingers moved slowly...slowly until they moved no more and he died.

[12:02] Rʜɪᴀ (dolorific) was jarred when the man grabbed the knife and stood infront of her, only really able to comprehend what was going on fast enough to wince as it jerked into her.. Armpit? She'd peel her eyes up to look down at the blame before back to the frantically mouthing man in confused disbelief before she suddenly realized what he was trying to do, and she'd jerk forward with a low, pained gasp as she clutched at the chair with one hand, the other grasping where a knife wound should have been as she staggered forward just a little more. Hoping her dramatics would get her out of an actual injury, though eyes went skyward as she heard the sounds of shouting and the baby crying, her own genuine tears streaming grime-smeared and sweat-dotted skin as his name once again fell from her lips, but simply a whisper this time, frozen and still as she was unable to do anything but watch as the Crow snuffed out the loathsome Kian, but in the moment all she could feel was horror at the sights..

[12:07] Bunny Crowley (kitty.laroway) fumed as she tried to rip the ax out of the man's skull but it was lodged so deep that she was having trouble. She heard Vita yell out about the priest and she ripped her hands from the ax handle, leaving it lodged in the now dead man's head before turning to bound up the stairs. She took a few steps upwards before she looked at a wall of flames in front of her. She turned and barreled back down, sliding on her knees beside Vita. Bunny let out a ragged cough as she looked to her bloodied sister and scowled. "The second floor is on fire, there's no way up there." She yelled out to her before gripping her arm with slender, lengthy digits. "We have to get out of here, NOW!" This was to Vevila too, though she could not see her amongst the flames and smoke, and was sure her warning was lost. Bunny tried to rock onto her feet, tugging Vita up with her if she'd let her.

[12:09] Kai Slater (runawaystreetrat) has always had the ability to momentarily suspend fear. It's what gave him the ability to paddle toward a monster wave on his board when kids just a year or two younger were still boogieboarding in the shallows. It's not that Kai isn't aware of the people dying around him,it's that he's hyperfocused on not having ONE of them die. Rhia is his monster wave, so to speak. Kai, back still turned to the Crow, pulls the knife back, slicing into his own arm and dripping the blood everywhere on them, then tries to grab the little blonde. If he is able, he will hoist her up over his head, turning to the Crow with an expression he hopes looks like bloodlust and scream "MY FIRST KILL! MY TROPHY!!" Man, he wants to earn that tablecloth!!

[12:14] Vita Crowley (atrophy) flinched as the axe blade had been but a dick's length from taking out her own noggin as well. Her murky eyes drifted towards the man as his last words escaped his bloodied lips, names unfamiliar to her, but assuredly written someone on the insides of the man's heart. And perhaps name in turn would be indelible within the mind's of those he'd used his last breath to speak their names. A terribly tragic, poignant thought when she partially responsible for the death. Digits gently stroked along the man's scalp, seeking to pluck the spectacles from his nose. These she would tuck down her bodice before seeking to run her grease painted fingers down his eyelids to close them for him if they had not lapsed shut in death, perhaps streaking the cheeks with white mehron facepaint before she was tugged away by her sister's assessment of the facility. "but the priest. . .the priest. . .I want him. . .I want him to suffer! He needs punished!" Voice cracked as she could not draw enough oxygen into her lungs to  properly return volley to Bunny. "The fair  haired. . .cut them down." While Vevila might have been one of honor on this day, Vita was not, after all, it was her birthday! and she was blind with rage upon not having located the dark-collared man of cloth in their plight. Knees wobbled beneath her and she stood, readying the axe in grasp.

[12:16] Father Alec (landonalec) pulled the blanket from the settee and engulfed his arm, badly burned, face singed and hot to the touch as well but he couldn't concentrate on how badly he was burned, or injured. The nails had done some damage but had not severed anything major so he managed to put himself out. He could see Elvira in trouble then and despite his loathing or her and what she'd done, he moved toward her trying to knock the bat away and grab her. "Hurry! We must get out." He said and tried dragging the woman toward the door, the blanket being moved to cover her and him although he'd be sure to lose it immediately since it wasn't wet. He tried dragging her out on the balcony and just push the woman over. "Grab the rail and drop." He instructed if he even managed to get her to that place to begin with. He was going to try and shove her over but not follow, his ridiculous sense that other people were dying had him going back inside, stumbling and hissing as the heat hurt his burned flesh even more. "Rhia!" He called hoarsely,  a wall of flame ...there was no way past this.

[12:16] Vevila (vevila.scarmon) pressed her back to the now very warm wall, the heat seaking a way out, her eyes on the stumbling and staggering Rhia, the cloud of smoke that was once up at the celing was now coming down level with her top hat wearing head. Despite all that coughing she managed to raise a hint of a smile as Kai would go to throw the now blooded Rhia over his shoulder. "Charge! Like the bull you are born to be!" Just like a matador she stepped into the path of Kai and Rhia, covering them in that table cloth, allowing them to charge all the way down the corridor, through the flames, through that door and into the warm Saturday afternoon. But then she heard the warning of Bunny, soon followed by the demand of Vita. "Clearly she's the bratty one.." she hissed under her own smoke clogged breath. So if the two ran out, so would Vevila, running after them with that bat and knife.

[12:20] Rʜɪᴀ (dolorific) continued to try and steadily slump forward, still hyper-focused on simply getting to the Priest, unwilling to accept at this point it was surely too late. So when she felt the hands on her she'd yelp, initially going to lash out with flailed limbs as she screamed out, though would end up being grappled with and hoisted above the blonde man's head fairly effortlessly, despite her writhing. "Let me go, let me gooo~ Landon, LANDON! I need to see him, let me go, let me go.." She'd cough out, spluttering and choking on her own gasped breaths as her words lodged and tightened her throat, though upon hearing him call her name she'd burst into another flail, oblivious to Vita's order to end them and Vevila's fantastic pantomiming display as she was held over Kai's head like a trophy. "Landon! I love you, I love you!" The three words would be cried out, repeated on the same gasped, wheezing loop for as long as she could expel the air from her smoke-filled lungs.

[12:21] Danya Grayman legs kick out as she falls back. One foot hits the ground first, and her leg buckles under the combined weight of the two, causing a resounding snap of her tibia and fibula. Her other foot then hits, taking the weight off the broken bones as she falls back slamming her ass on the ground, then rolling once, the baby tucked up safe between rolls of fat and tits. Cracking her head against the ground, her eyes cross and she fights not to black out, Logan screaming in her arms. She can hear the baby's screams, piercing to her very core. "Kian, I got him..." speaking softly, laying Logan in the grass beside her now, caressing his screaming red face. Rolling on top of him, her good leg she has her knee drawn up under her, on the side of the baby. Scooping him up now, she army crawls one legged away from the house and the fire.

[12:22] Bunny Crowley (kitty.laroway) rocked back up onto her heels and let Vita go. Nodding once to her. Her sister wanted that damn priest, though where he was and what he looked like was lost on Bunny. She'd move forwards, hearing the yell about the fair haired. Vevila must have been up ahead. She moved through the smoke just as Vevila was whirring the table cloth about. She saw two new faces through the smoke, glimpses of them here and there. She drew the knife out from her arm band on her right arm and held it out in front of her. She doesn't know what has unfolded here but is ready to defend her sister regardless of what is happening. She would cut down anyone that stood in their way, especially those holding the proverbial key to where the priest may be found. "Oiy!" Bunny called out to Vevila, bending at the knee and squaring off. She'd lunge at anyone that moved towards them.

[12:23] Elvira (strawberryfieldss) clung to that bat with a death grip, it was part of her and she clutched it like Danya had her baby.  She was pulled from the room by the injured priest shrieking obscenities as the man saved her, how curious indeed.  Her voice was hoarse from the smoke that filled her lungs and she teetered on the edge of the balcony about to go over as she tried taking her final swipe at him though suddenly it was far more imperative for her to be gripping the wooden rails as she felt her balance lurched and was hanging over the other side, legs kicking in the air.  The bat tumbled to the grass below and Elvira's eyes were wide as saucers as she dangled there.   "She will find you!  She will have you!  No god can save you!"  Her crazed cries came even as her sweaty fingers started to lose their hold slipping and grabbing frantically at the rail as her heeled shoes dropped one at a time below to the grass.  And with that Elvira's piercing scream came from the courtyard as she fell.

[12:28] Kai Slater (runawaystreetrat) is glad as hell this isn't a meeting of Overeater's Anonymous, as he doesn't quite get the petite blonde over his head as it is during his Oscar-worth performance for Best Faux Psychopath of 2016, but he gets close. He's slim but muscular and his surging adrenaline gives him strength. When the tablecloth is thrown over him and his trophy kill, it momentarily blinds him, sending him crashing right TOWARD the flames and the heavily armed nuts and assorted dead bodies. His own dead body's sudden flailing and yelling about some idiot named Landon causes him to nearly fall on his face , but it also dislodges the cloth from said face,and he rapidly changes direction for the relative calm of the AA meeting room, lumbering heavily as he screams "SHUT UP! SHUT UP! YOU'RE DEAD! SHUT UP!" like a madman as he stumbled to the back of the building.

[12:31] Vita Crowley (atrophy) hoisted her axe high as the people tree ahead looms between them and fresh air. "Cut the tree. . .cut it down!" Like a bull, she charged towards the first blonde (rhia), the female and swung her axe at the midsection of the curvaceous woman. Glass from the windows began to blow out from the gale force of the flames burning and spreading within. Shattered fragments and bars haunted their sad, gaping orifices as Sunnyview crumbled and burned. Coughs rattled her lungs and she frantically chopped at the first person she encountered whom wasn't one of her siblings.

[12:32] Father Alec (landonalec) stumbled back, choking and coughing and gasping for breath. He heard sirens wailing in the distance cause i'm going to npc that shit. The house's roof started to collapse in on itself and Landon fell backward out onto the balcony once again. He lay on his back, looking up at the flames as they licked out the doors, the windows and burned upward with the air current. "The devil has come for me." he whispered and tried to slide himself backward until he hit the railing, breathing was easier out here but not by much. He found his eyes drifting shut, another coughing spasm and he was losing consciousness, inhaling too much smoke. The fire engine pulled up along with some cops as well, he drifted, the pillars in the outer areas of the balcony caught fire, the house was going to collapse soon, all that new modern workmanship just wasn't going to hold up.

[12:35] Vevila (vevila.scarmon) was finding it harder to think as less and less air was able to get into her lungs, it filled with frustration and irritation, mentally and physically. The call of Bunny caused her to look in the direction of the smoke, seeing the outline of her sibling. By then she tried to look back at the fleeing couple, unable to clearly see them. "Where the fuck are they......" Oh dear, she was swearing, this was never a good sign. "Where did they go?!" Each way she turned, each room she stepped to was filled with fire. "AND WHERE DO THEY KEEP THE FUCKING CEREAL!" She had mised breakfast. "ARGH!" The young breathless Crow really was losing it, shattering hanged picturesq frames from the wall with that bat, kicking over flaming tables and anything else that got in her way. Eventually she found herself standing in the entrance way of the AA room, no flames in here, just thick smoke, unable to see anything clear. The Crow wheezed and gasped, her binding corset making it all that more worse, her boobs heaving so hard that were fighting the good fight between the leather and flesh. "BUNNY! GOTTA BE IN HERE!" She had to shout through the roar of fire now.

 

[12:38] Elvira (strawberryfieldss) felt her eyes go wide as saucers as that scream fell from her lips, her bat hit the ground moments before she did.  She twisted and tried to shield herself from the hit as the grass loomed and while the ground was soft when one was walking on it, it was anything but when they were launched from above on it.  She had shielded herself with her arm and there was a definitive sickening crunch when it hit the ground, but it was between that or her head.  Everything hurt, but the arm caused her to wail out even as she sprawled on her back a moment and she let the wash of injuries rush at her all at once.  She knew she was bruised, knew she was bleeding but still her good arm reached for her bat while the other hung useless, bent at an abnormal angle.  She coughed and tried to roll to her side with her fingers curling about that wood handle.  "Run little red, run.  Big bad wolf is coming!"  She squeaked out hoarsely as her final promise to the priest had been she would throw that woman back in to the fire.

[12:42] Bunny Crowley (kitty.laroway) was pleased that she made it to Vevila, though she was losing the sight in her good eye. She couldn't breathe and her chest was heaving in the heat and smoke around them as it flooded through the house. "I DON'T KNOW!" Bunny yelled back but moved after her. The cereal? Where was Vita? She had lost her in the smoke. Her single good eye started leaking clear, saline fluid as she continued to move after Vevila. She would swing the ax at anything coming after her in the smoke and flames, still on her guard even though she could barely see or breathe anymore. "SISTER!" She called out to her, before pivoting and moving along after her. Bunny started shaking her head, trying to get the tears out of her eyes. Her boots clumped as her body heaved with effort, trying to maneuver what was left of the room. Where the hell was the god damn priest. Perhaps he already died in the flames, was already consumed on the floor. She needed to get out of here. They all did, or they would die too and everything they had done  would be in vain. She tried to reach out for Vevila and squeeze her arm. "We have to GO!" She'd say again, the heat causing the scars smattered across her body to nearly recede in pain.

[12:42] Rʜɪᴀ (dolorific) struggled as the man carrying her turned them away from the staircase and towards the back of the building, choking out her painful gasps until she felt the sudden, sharp, slicing blow to her side as she dangled against Kai, causing another scream to peel from her raw throat. The axe gashed and peeled along her midsection, managing to carve longways through the fleshy muscles around her abdomen with impressive force, creating a gash around the dip of her waist, though her flailing would finally cease as she now settled for instead grasping the man that carried her. "I love you!" As far as she was concerned, she was bellowing the words at the top of her voice, when in actuality all she was really doing was bleating a pained scream, the three words barely a whisper between her rasps as she just clawed her hands and struggled to keep her consciousness as her head was filled with smoke, heat, and incomprehensible, traumatic pain.

[12:44] Danya Grayman keeps up her crawl with her good leg and her arms. She tries to army crawl fast as she can away from the woman with the bat. Her leg drags behind her, flipping and flopping behind her. "NO!" She screams back at the woman with the bat. "Get the fuck away from us!" Looking back she sees the woman's arm, and figures she may be able to use that to her advantage if the woman gets close enough.

[12:49] Kai Slater (runawaystreetrat) is gasping and coughing now, his lungs feeling like they themselves are filled with fire. The little black dots are starting to close in his vision as his body becomes dangerous low on oxygen in the smoke filling the rooms as a piece of the ceiling falls next to them in flames, narrowly avoiding them. It was then that he felt...something...go wrong. Some sudden impact stopped him in his tracks, sending him crashing to his knees like a proposing ghost, the tablecloth still covering him and parts of his cargo. He feels wetness spreading over him as he comes close to dropping the very loud and active "dead girl",and for a moment he thinks the sprinklers must have finally kicked on. This gives him the push to get up, and if he isn't stopped by one of the Crows, he will continue to run toward the back door still awkwardly clinging to his increasingly heavy and slippery cargo, trying to break through into the air--and to freedom.

[12:50] Elvira (strawberryfieldss) limped towards the woman with the bat in her hand, looking almost like one of the shambling zombies that were so favored on television these days.  Her damp hair twisted and plastered against her skin as grass, leaves and flowers were all tangled up in it and around her face even as soot marks smeared across her cheeks marring her perfect makeup.  The one arm hung like a dead appendage at her side even as the shoulder seemed as if it was dislocated.  Adrenaline kept the nurse going and she held the bat high to swing it down at the woman when she would get close enough.  "Everyone must go, fire sale!"  She yelled out clearly out of her mind as she was in some hellish limbo with the concoction of pills she put in her system.  "That means you, red!"

[12:50] Vita Crowley (atrophy) jerked her axe out of the woman's abdomen with a slickening, audible slurk of flesh and muck upon her blade. "Father. . ..ALEC" Wheezed, strained breaths coughed and she stumbled back into the arm of the couch behind her before moving onward. Eyes had watered, spilling freely grease paint stained tears, though perhaps she was openly sobbing. The vengeance-warped woman felt her job was finished, despite the destruction all around, which threatened at any moment to collapse. The need to persevere, to survive and live to fight another day perhaps inspired her actions next. "Here!. . .we need air. . .we will dig the priest's corpse from the ashes. . . ." Fingers lashed out for the woman's hair of blonde whom she'd just cut, seeking to violently jerk at her noggin in a wrenching motion before running into the recreation room where she had known there were double doors. Her axe was hefted violently towards them, fire alarms blazing all around them, ringing in her ears as she sought to shoulder forcibly out

[12:50] Vita Crowley (atrophy):  into the rear of the property, to breathe a lung full of un-poisoned oxygenation. Eyes sought out her sisters, whom had both fought savagely that morning.

[12:51] AedynOCallaghan sped through the streets and granted he took a wrong turn and had to sweep around the college circle and swing back, he could see the fire above the tree line and he shook his head, "Oh lordy, that looks ugly." He said and whipped around the corner and through the open gates. He slammed on the brakes after almost running into a woman and her baby, "Shit!" He jerked the wheel and slid sideways to a halt. He got out of the vehicle and saw a woman behind her, "What the fuck?" He cried and pulled out his taser, aiming it at the woman with the weapon, "Drop the weapon!" He yelled at the girl, just then realizing who the fuck it was..."Bitch!" He added for good measure. OH yes he remember this girl. He used the shoulder mic to toggle it, in order to report in.

[12:57] Danya Grayman sees the bat coming for her and she ducks her head around Logan. Closing her eyes she figures this may be the end. Of course, the car skidding near her head makes her eyes flash open just as the bat comes down on her broken leg, the nails or barbed wire, sinks into her skin as she screams out, the baby wailing as well. The pain in her leg shoots up her spine and explodes in her head. She just curls up around the wailing baby wanting it all to go away, to end.

[12:58] Father Alec (landonalec) continues to lay there, staring up at the fire, even as the firetruck came up and started to unload, his hand dangled out over the balcony as he lay there, prepared for the end. Eventually the fireman would see him and hoist a ladder up to him while the cop took care of the nasty business so that they could help treat the injured.

[13:02] Elvira (strawberryfieldss) knew that if she had a bowl of cornflakes, Aedyn O'Callaghan was the piss in them.  The bat had made contact in its sickening crunch and the baby's wails as its wounded mother was beaten were drowned out by the rushing of blood in her own ears.  She looked up at the man, unable to stop the momentum in time as he had ordered her to.  The kitty headband on her head sat askew and she narrowed that pale blue gaze on h im that seemed absolutely wild and savage at the moment.  "Now you just wait your turn, little piggy.  The wolf is dealing with little red at the moment, I will blow your house down next.  We cannot mix these two stories."  She said as she felt as if she channeled her friend Vita in that very moment.  It was truly terrifying.  She paused then, the bat still stuck in poor Danya's flesh as the nails clutched and clung making the swipe anything but clean.  She wheezed as the smoke had done its own damage and she was lightheaded again.

[13:06] AedynOCallaghan spoke into the radio, "Officer O'Callaghan requesting immediate back up at the Sunny View rehab....shit..." He winced as he witnessed the bat going down and entering that poor woman's leg, and the poor screaming baby. Instead of firing the taser he walked up the few steps to her and swung a right hook toward the woman's head. "Cunt!" He yelled and because she was clinging to that bat she may not even get arms up in time to block it, regardless he had the taser still in his hands as he swept a look at the house and beyond. "You have the right to remain fucking silent, bitch!" He hissed as he would have loved to piss all over her corn flakes and her face too right at that moment. "Ma'am...help is here, hold on." He called over to Danya and waved the paramedics over to her.

[13:08] Father Alec (landonalec) was pulled carefully off the balcony by firefighters, passing him down the ladder and getting him into the ambulance. He was burned, bloody and not really responsive as he was whisked away and off toward the hospital, away from the evil clutches of the Crowley sisters.

[13:13] Danya Grayman cries a little bit as the sharp objects are into her skin still. She really wishes someone would yank it out. "Kian...inside. Please, it hurts." Her head lays down on the grass and now. She breaths heavily. "My baby..." Lays him down in the grass now, caressing the screaming child's face. Closing her eyes, she can pass out to the sweet, sweet bliss of nothingness to only awaken in the hospital.

[13:14] Elvira (strawberryfieldss) felt her head snap to one side as the hit connected blood coming out of her mouth along with spit and her poor bubblegum as she let out a hoarse shriek.  The bat was dropped as her one good hand came up to shield her face as the nurse buckled to her knees.  The other arm still hung, bent completely wrong and limp at her side.  "I'll see you in hell, first."  She hissed out as the blood trickled down her lips and she looked up to the cop as the skin he had struck began to redden and would surely leave a glorious bruise on her face.  Her world was growing hazy, the smoke inhalation, the strike, the fall, it was all catching up with her and quickly.  "Fuck you."  She spat up to Aedyn then realizing Sharon was not going to get her out of this predicament.

[13:17] AedynOCallaghan looked down at the woman that dropped and narrowed his eyes a bit more, looked around as the paramedics seemed busy and then swung another punch to the woman's face, and another. "Fucking Cunt!" He growled, never had he had so much aggression toward a woman but after this ordeal, what he was seeing and the woman attacking a mother and her child? Oh well and the bitten off earlobe that would never look the same, he was mad.!"You have the right to a fucking attorney..bitch." He said loudly, "If I fucking give you a phone call." His next steps would be to kick the bat away and cuff her, broken/injured arm or not.
