((okay. I was just wondering how to go about having her achieve it. Like what she does to actually start the spell/mind alteration.)) Solaris Beauty Evelynn looked at the two young girls as she smiled. "Okay, the next excercises are mind alteration and using a psionic shield" she said. "Basically mind alteration is to alter someone's will or persepctive, attitudes and personality either temporarily or or permanently...though most psychics can only achieve this temporarily" she said. "Okay girls give it a try"
Elle looked at Evelynn and then looked at her sister. "Ummmm Erin you can go first, I want to make sure that I actually understand the concept" she said to her sister, honestly she wanted to see Erin start initiating actions as well. She waited to see if Erin would succeed in the next excercise. ==== Johan frowned ever so slightly as Che simply laughed at his response. He didn't necessarily appreciate the fact that the Mastering Owl was laughing at him. However, Johan didn't say anything to let Che know that he was a little upset with him. It didn't necessarily help that Che's arrival at the mansion was the main reason that he had been interrupted in the middle of his interesting book. Nor was Che's reference to his age. Che was the older one though, so why was Johan the one being called and old man? "Who cares what Will is talking to Nikolai about? Just go pull the Satan Owl out of the conversation. You should be very good at doing that."Before Anya could say anything to Bailey, Morgan had burst into the room from behind a bookcase. The Poison Owl turned and frowned at the human girl, who was clearly very drunk from some wine she had managed to find from somewhere in the huge mansion. "What the hell are you doing, girl?" Anya demanded as she snatched the bottle of wine from Morgan and smacking the back of her head lightly. "You're clearly underage!" she chided the younger girl as she placed the nearly empty bottle onto the dresser in the room and basically not guarding it from Morgan by placing herself between the human and the bottle of wine. Anya rolled her eyes at Morgan's nonsensical descriptions of what she had been through. "Oh c'mon. This house is not haunted." she replied shaking her head. But immediately after she said that, Anya thought better of herself and put a hand to her forehead. Whose house did she think this belonged to!? It was Will's house! The goddamn Satan Owl! Who knew what kind of crazy crap he had put into this house!

Nikolai was about to answer Will's questions or rather, his insinuating statements, when something clicked in his brain. He glanced at his watch and said, rather loudly, "Ah! I overslept! сын суки! Sorry Will, I'd love to continue this conversation, but I've got a darkness herald to save!" Nik sank into his shadow, which then moved a few rooms over where he grabbed Anya and pulled her into the shadow with him. Nik concentrated on where he was going; due to some strange circumstances and a lengthy explanation, Nik already knew where Roulin, Demios, and Cecilia were. He quickly found them and dragged them into his shadow as well, dancing around in the darkness as he did. Cerberus however, was left to his own devices wherever he was at the moment. Dropping down to the floor of his shadow, right next to Happiness and Sadness, Nik grinned and said, rather quickly so no one could complain, protest, or otherwise hurt him, "Okay Happiness, okay Sadness, let's get going to Azarath!" Nik then floated back up in the air, far enough away from everyone so they couldn't reach him without using their powers.

"Well now, if you say so Johan. But if they're talking about something worth it, I'm pointing fingers at you old friend." Leaving the veteran to his book with simple pat on the shoulder, Che pushed aside the doors that seperated him from Will and Nikolai. Luckily for the wild haired man, as he walked in, Nikolai the Shadowguy was just phasing out. Looking over to Will now with a slightly puzzled expression, Che responded to the situation saying, "Well, he gives a new meaning to the word transient. Anyway, I see you're safe and sound. Anya is as safe...don't know why you choose to keep her around anymore...not my problem though." The Mastering Owl took the seat that Nikolai had been parked in and rested himself finally. Pointing into the hallway, he spoke to the devil before him, "You know, that human girl has found your stash. You might want to get her..."
~~~
Roulin hadn't changed his sitting position when Nikolai brought him down through his shadow. Slightly upset, the owl simply sat still. There was one slice of pancake left and just as his fork raised to his open mouth, he was stolen. He also hadn't wiped the minds of the people in the restaurant. Oh well, David would be fired..."Hello Nik. I'm guessing now's the time I hold up to my agreement correct? I think I've had enough to eat. Explain to me the situation again please?"

Demios was shocked to suddenly be pulled into the shadows. He looked around and noticed Roulin and Nikolai "Well thanks for the warning" He said with obvious sarcasm. "I'm hoping you remembered Cerbs because otherwise that restaurant is doomed" He said. He then looked at them "I just hope we'll be enough to help Sydney" He said. He was irritated with Nikolai, but figured he could save his irritation to use it constructively later.

Cecilia had barely gotten the chance to enjoy her second cup of steaming coffee when she was stolen away from the restaurant along with Roulin and Demios, a la Nik. If she hadn't gotten a chance to eat, then she would have been slightly angrier with him. Still, it seemed that David would most likely be fired. Part of Cecilia felt sorry for him, but another part felt that it served him right. She nodded in greeting towards Anya, Sadness, and Happiness as she waited for Nik to inform them of their mission. This would be Cecilia's first time fighting against a Herald. Would her powers be effective against their opponent, or would they sink making her useless to them? Bailey was not as innocent as anyone thought. She had drank once before to drown the sorrows of her past, but instead of making everything better, it had caused her to become violently ill and presented her with a hangover the next morning. After that, Bailey had vowed never to drink again. The young shy Diclonius Owl was taken aback when Anya disappeared right before her eyes leaving her alone with the very much tipsy Morgan. Bailey found it quite amusing that the young woman was pretty much named after an alcoholic beverage. The name definitely fit her. "So then, Captain Morgan, what now?" she asked curiously, looking non-chalantly at the drunk human female.

((UNS - Will))
Will blinked as Nikolai suddenly exclaimed that he had overslept and then proceeded to curse in Russian upon looking down at his watch. The blink was really in response to the latter part of Nik's statement, the part about a darkness Herald to save. The devil watched Nik silently slip into his shadow and disappear. Sydney, hmm? Before he could do anything else, the door to Nikolai's guest room opened and Will's student walked into the darkness of the room and plunked down on the bed Nikolai had been sitting on. The devil's eyes rested on the purple eyes boy that was now lounging on the bed. He ignored some of Che's comments. The Mastering Owl should know that Will toyed with plenty of people. "Right. Just as transient as you, Cheani. But I suppose that's why you've come to see Dr. DeScythe. You were screaming so f**king loudly it could only mean you need a root canal. Now now...be a good boy and open your sh*tty mouth for your doctor..." Will smirked. The human was no concern of his. "Nothing wrong with drunks...Johan can handle them."
-------------
((NPC - Cerberus))
The dog had removed itself from Roulin's lap to gulp up the pancakes Demios offered him and then returned to resting its heads on Roulin. However, all of a sudden, Cerberus's pillow was removed and the dog's heads crashed against the cushion of the chair Roulin had been sitting on. "Grrr..." the dog growled slightly and then got up. Bah. He had enough of pancakes. With Demios gone, the spell cloaking Cerberus happened to wear off, and he was now visible to the public as a three headed dog. He trotted out the door, ignoring any type of reactions or any demands for the disappearing people to pay up for their meal. His purpose frustrated for the moment, the dog snuck into a socket and began to traverse the electrical currents and digital signals emitting from antennas and towers to return to his master...while causing a little bit of chaos on the way.
-------
((Other - Genya/NPC - Annie))
Before Genya could respond, the Alchemist Owl was dragged away from Daryle, who ran as if clouds of dust were forming from his feet like in a cartoon. "Wahhhhhh!!!!" True to Daryle's dog wagging nature, before Annie could even say anything, she was dragged along as Daryle galloped along, heading for...who knows where? Apparently, he realized this important question as he halted in the middle of the street.
"....Stupid puppy, your stomach speaks louder than your brain sometimes!" Annie retorted when Daryle finally stopped. She sighed as she led the two back to her home and then got into her car. "Come on. We're going to IHOP, that's the International House of Pancakes."
Genya looked sheepishly at Daryle before he got in the car. "Is she angry at you?" Genya asked softly and curiously. He wondered if Daryle and Annie were a pair....When they both got in, Annie would drive them to the nearest IHOP.

Then, the unexpected happened. A shadow enveloped her and basically dropped her down into Nikolai's little shadow world. Along with Cecilia, Roulin, and Demios. Happiness and Sadness were both still there as well, hitch hiking in Nik's shadow world. Anya gasped in surprise and shock at the sudden-ness of it all. She then immediately looked over at Nik. "Nik! What the hell! You couldn't just tell us you were going to do that before actually doing it? A small warning would be nice." she scolded as she got back to her feet, glaring a little bit at her shadow manipulating friend. When she heard Roulin's question, Anya suddenly remembered what the word 'Azarath' had meant when Nik said it just a couple of seconds ago. "He's talking about going to save one of the Herald's remember? He said something about this Sydney person being in trouble with someone called Rage." she answered the Life Owl's question for Nik to save some time.
"That's right!" Happiness chimed in right after Anya's explanation. She grinned at the people Nik had promised to bring along to help. She went to each one of them: Anya, Demios, Roulin, and Cecilia; and gave them each a hug in greeting. "I can't believe you're finally going to come and help Big Sis!" she exclaimed. While her Cousin Sadness remained oddly quiet and morose and didn't say a word.
Sadness stepped towards Happiness and tugged her away from Roulin by her wrist. Her head was looking down at the floor and her long hair and bangs hid her face.
"Oh! Right! Here we go!" Happiness said taking each of Sadness' hands in each of her own. She smiled and closed her eyes. The two Emotions then said: "Z'ranin Azaraath" together at the same time. The group would feel a strong pulling force drawing them into an even deeper and darker shadow. It was similar to Nikolai's shadow bubble transport, only it wasn't. It was more of an experience like astral projection, where they would feel like their souls/spirits separated from their physical bodies. Everything would go black for their vision. But when they regained their ability to see...
The world of Azarath was somewhat similar to how it appeared when Sydney had brought Genya and Demios here a year earlier. There were levitating chunks of giant rock, randomly floating in no particular pattern. But there were not as many as there had been when Demios was last here. Now, it was a pretty barren wasteland of rock and dust that was like if the earth had been hit by a devastating asteroid, like at the end of the dinosaurs' reign. Only there was nothing left, not even a single plant or water if there had been on Azarath before Rage escaped her prison. There were mountains of giant rocks here and there in clumps or in singles. But that was all to change the landscape from its flatness.
The 'sky' in Azarath was a deep reddish color and hazy in appearance. Before Rage's escape, the 'sky' in Azarath when Demios was here had been a rather calm and serene shade of navy blue which had been occasionally broken up by small and tiny white lights, almost like stars in the night sky on earth, but it wasn't really light in that physical sense. Those 'stars' were gone now, covered by the reddish haze signifying Rage's growing power over Azarath.
"We're here...." Sadness' voice spoke up finally, her head was still looking down at the floor. She didn't plan on looking at anyone now. It was almost as if she could sense what had happened here. And she did know what had happened, she just wasn't going to explain it.
"Yay! We're home! We're home! We're home!" Happiness sang out spinning around before starting to run off ahead of the group. She was ever the incorrigible one, ever wavering in her name of Happiness. Not even in this most dire of times for her Big Sister Sydney.

Khalifa Marcelus
Khalifa wasn't to far behind the woman named Evelynn once she had left and he could tell she was irritated by his actions or rather choice of and manner of speaking. Thus not being to far behind her meant he heard once she had said about him ending up dead if his attitude continue as it has, he had no reason to reply and hand only released a light chuckle as he advance down the stairs and went to meet with Noel. Searching the home for her he looked around at his surroundings where he admired the couples home but once he noticed the woman he had been looking for he walked towards her. "Hello Noel." He greeted with a smirk on his face as he looked her over.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jaylin LaQuiel
Jayin had been nearly to his destination when the veryone woman he was going to speak with had walked past him suggesting that he should go and speak with Noel, he took this as either her not wanting to deal with him or she just wanted time to train with her sister but either way he only smiled. "Yeah, talk to you later." He replied to Erin, the twin sister of his soon to be lover or at least he was planning on making her as such. He never actually been interested in woman long enough to fall for them but that was all different with Elle, usually he wouldn't give most the time of day but it seem like he's doing the chasing this time and he will pursue. Turning around to walk after the two he made his way downstairs where he went looking for Noel, once he had found the room she was in he found Khalifa had the same idea he had and that was to find out what it was that they were to be doing and the next plan of action.

"...whoa..." Roulin dropped onto his feet and like a child began to survey the new area with great interest and a bit of fear. "This is place...this is Azarath huh? Looks like a nice place for a Shadow Herald." Looking around the area, the owl of Life made sure that everyone was here. Anya, Nik, their driver, Happiness, Sadness, Demios and Cecilia had all made it safely. Good. He could already feel that they'd need all the help they could get. "And so Rage is still running wild in here eh? I have a bad feeling about this one."
~~~
"The only thing shitty here is here. Your...creepy little mansion. It does good for it's age though. Still standing and whatnot. I bet this place is all the rage around halloween." Che retorted to the friend and mentor, William. This isn't what he was here to do though. There were important things to be taken care of like figuring out who tried to kill them yesterday. After leaning forward, the owl detective spoke up again though with a more serious tone. "As much as I would like to sit here and play the dozens, I have to ask, do you have an idea of who tried to wipe us our yesterday. I think I have a clue. Can you say UNS? The very people you idiots work for?"

Demios frowned as he looked around "This place sure has changed" He said recalling how it looked the last time he had arrived. He looked at Happiness and Sadness "So Sydney is here somewhere huh?" He said. He couldn't help, but wonder how hard it'd be to find her. He looked down and picked up some dirt and frowned "Seems so empty here" He said. He looked at the others "I'm not sure what's here, but I don't like it" He said.

Cecilia allowed her eyes to roam the land of Azarath. If they were not here on business, she would allow herself to admire its haunting beauty. Yet, she knew that she, herself, was in trouble, for she could not sense the stars nor the planets that came within a solar system meaning that there was no solar system at all. Despite this, she spoke in a stoic tone of voice. "My powers are going to be greatly hindered here," she said. "As there is no solar system, I will only be able to use the gravitational aspect of my mutation and I will also have to rely on my skills with my weapon as well." With a rather bemused expression, she hoped that what had happened in New York would not happen here as well. She seemed to be quite the target for hidden snipers.

Nikolai shook his head to clear it, as the feeling of having his body and soul separated wore off. He looked around, taking in the new area, the red 'sky' and the destroyed landscape of floating rocks was beautiful to look at, but also terribly desolate. He looked up at the sky and said, "Божией Матери... So this is Azarath..." Nik could tell this place wasn't in the best of shape, and he wondered just how much time they had left to defeat Rage. He watched as Happiness sprinted forward, utterly oblivious to the destroyed landscape around her, unlike her cousin, who seemed all too affected by it. Nik tilted his glasses down to his nose, looking at the place unshielded, since there was no actual light he could look at it freely. He rather liked his sunglasses though, and pushed them back up on his face and walked forward. He stepped over a rock and stopped just behind Sadness, laying a hand on her shoulder gently, he said, "Don't worry, we'll save your big sister. If it's the last thing I do, I'll save her." removing his hand from her shoulder, Nik followed Happiness along the crumbling road, putting his headphones up on his head, playing music as he made his way along the road.

Morgan blinked several times as the woman who had smaked her over the head and taken her bottle dissapeared. for several minutes she just stared at the spot Anya had been seated in waiting for her to show up again before looking to Bailey as she spoke, "you saw her there too right?" she asked pointing at the spot where Anya had been sitting before Nik had pulled her into the shadows. "cause if you didn't see her there must definitely be something wrong with me" she said mostly talking to herself as she looked to the bottle of wine she had picked up and figured she should take the womans advise and stop drinking it. Especially if it was causing hallucinations like that.

Anya had a similar reaction to Roulin's. She was shocked by the way things looked. Just the atmosphere of the place was creepy, but different than Will's mansion was in that sense. The atmosphere was enough to tell her something was definitely very wrong here. "s**t... This does not look good..." she murmured. The Poison Owl looked over at Cecilia as the other girl said her powers would be limited here. "Well, that's not a good sign. As if we weren't handicapped as it was to begin with." she replied to Cecilia before following after Nikolai and Happiness.
Sadness almost literally jumped when she felt Nikolai's hand on her shoulder. However, she still didn't look up. "You have no idea what really went on here....." she murmured before starting off after her Cousin. Some tears fell down her face. And that was when everything seemed to turn for the worse. As if it couldn't get worse... There was a loud scream from up ahead where Happiness had disappeared behind a big outcropping of rocks. "Oh no...." Sadness said aloud before beginning to run towards where the scream had come from.
Happiness had hurried on ahead in her blissful little happy world now that she was home. Despite it being as trashed as it was from Rage escaping and terrorizing all the Emotions and Sydney. She had run around a large stack of rocks, not entirely paying attention to where she was headed. And she subsequently felt herself being grabbed forcefully. This caused her to scream out in surprise and or glee, one couldn't really tell which though. Then, whoever had grabbed her, put one arm around her waist and the other over her mouth to silence her. Happiness giggled. "Are we playing tag?" she asked, her voice muffled from underneath the hand over her mouth.
"Hush, you!" a familiar voice commanded her from just over her shoulder.
