"You drowned?" Adria pressed. There was a desperate curiosity in her voice. She couldn't quite interpret his cryptic way of saying it, but drowning was her first assumption since it was what had happened to her just an hour ago.

"You drowned in the river and you... you came back... He brought you back as someone new? Is that right?" If it was true, then maybe it would explain the odd way that Adria's new sixth sense reacted to the man. If he was in fact just like her, then truly they were supposed to meet. Yet... what purpose did the lord God have for them?

Liam Richard

Liam stood silent, still numb from the day's events, and only paying half-attention to the conversation in the motel room. He had died. He had come back to life. He had a new body. He could remove his head. When he removed his head he transformed. When he transformed he became... some sort of headless knight?

Would it happen again?

His hands began to shake slightly. He slowly brought them up to his chin, and then... he lifted.

Once again, the head came off, and once again, his body transformed. He stood like that for only a few moments before putting it back on. "God damn it..." he whispered. Then he looked at the tiny girl, and found his voice. "Look, we're all still human," he insisted. "We just... something strange happened, and we can do strange things, but we're still people."

"Drowned? Drowned? " Oliver shook his head, looking around the area to see if anyone was in earshot. He more felt than heard the stillness of the trees. "No, no... I think we're both past sounding crazy at this point. So, I had just gotten home from a long day at the office, and I decided to take a bath. So here I was, relaxing, enjoying my bath, when suddenly: poof! Splashing around, completely naked, a very awkward 30 minute walk from my apartment away.

"And I wasn't talking metaphorically about a new body. I have a different shape, a different face. My old clothes don't fit, see?" He stared out to the city, not sure where he was looking anymore. His hands felt wooden and numb against his face. "...When I got back to my apartment, my old self was still there, still in the bath." Still in the bath. He rubbed his eyes. His hands didn't look real.

"Drowned? How would you know? You seem to see right through me. Who are you, Adria?"

Titty finally washes her face again, trying to get over the shock of her new appearance. She certainly had never looked this way before. She seems....Inhuman, the more she looks at herself.

Turning away, she meekly leaves the bathroom to rejoin the others, rubbing her face. "Did I miss anything?" She asks, looking between everyone.

"Nope," Kathy told Titty, glancing past the girl to try and spot any speakers lying in the bathroom. When that proved unsuccessful, Kathy waved a hand dismissively and sauntered over to Liam.

"Making a lot of assumptions with that `we're all humans` stuff," Kathy told him, wagging a finger dismissively, then putting both of her hands on her hips and casting the man a confident smile. "Hey, can I try something real quick?" She asked, all bubbly and sweetness, hands moving towards Liam's head and hovering a few inches away as she awaited permission.

As Titty disappeared into the bathroom Ivy turned her attention back to the rest of the group, looking between each of the people who'd followed her back here as she tried putting some words together in her head. However, the tiny girl - Lyla - was first to speak up and start the questioning, hitting them with all the things they had probably been wondering themselves. Well... Apparently not all of them however, as Kathy quickly proved with her apparent disinterest in the topic at hand. What was with her?

" Yeah, I've got speakers. Back at my apartment that's now being ransacked by the cops and I can probably never return to, " She replied a little sourly, the upbeat demeanor of Kathy irritating her more than she expected - or maybe it was just the apparent lack of care for whatever the hell happened. She put a hand to her temple, closing her eyes for a few moments and breathing - trying to cool the raging temper that she seemed unable to douse. By the time she opened her eyes again Titty had returned.

" Nothing much, just getting into things. " Ivy sat on the edge of her bed tapping a finger against her knee, glancing at Lyla to answer her stemmy of questions. " If we didn't die then I don't know what the hell else could've happened - 'specially for me at least, my face was plastered all over the news. Everything else though? God, those're the big questions... "

" I dunno if we're human or not human or what, or why we came back - but I really doubt this happens to everyone who dies. There's no way we wouldn't have heard about it, people die everyday, they can't keep that kind of thing under wraps. "

Lyla listened to everyone's responses. Titty also returned from the bathroom, so the Ivy woman caught her up on some of the conversation. Kathy, of course, didn't seem interested in anything to do with this.

If only I could just turn off my anxiety , Lyla thought with a knot in her stomach. It had been a fair bit of time since she saw herself lying in a pool of blood, and getting used to the new scale of everything to her six inches was starting to scare her. How long before it feels like I've been this way forever? she wondered internally, sparing herself a glance as she sat cross-legged on a huge table. Not huge, it was a normal desk size. It was just huge because she was tiny.

A chuckle escaped her lips then. "I know people die every day," Lyla replied. "I just want to know why I didn't. Or at least why I'm six fucking inches tall," she added, a little hysteria seeping into her voice. "But I probably never will..."

Ivy internally winced at the slight hysteria erupting out of the tiny Lyla. Some of them definitely had it worse than others, and her reawakening was clearly the most extreme of the five of them. Waking up in a new body was one thing after dying, but waking up as a six inch tall pixie? That was an entirely new dynamic she couldn't really fathom - being in a different body with strange strength and unending anger was bad enough for her.

But at the same time... The more that Ivy thought about it, the less she was bothered by the concept of waking up in another body. After all, if she had died, that meant she would no longer be able to do anything she'd wanted to do because - you know, death. Afterlife or whatever came after, if anything - maybe it was just a void, who the hell knew? Whatever this weird thing was that gave them new bodies, it did mean one thing - they got to still be alive. Maybe Kathy had just realized that faster than the rest of them.

" If nothing else... We're alive, " She said aloud, a little quieter than earlier. " If we really died then whatever... This , is - it's kept us from being whisked off to wherever dead people go. We can still do shit, maybe figure out why it happened. Make the most of not being in some kind of void or something, y'know? "

She ran a hand through her hair, letting out a deep sigh of frustration.

" Would've been real fucking nice to get a hint or something though. " Ivy's thoughts drifted to the night before - the moments leading up to that final darkness, then her awakening to find what remained. Her hand resting on the bedpost clenched, and the wood splintered then shattered under the force - snapping her attention to it. She liftd her hand, a few splinters clinging to her skin, but not piercing. She scowled to herself, wiping them away.

At least she had the chance to find that bastard .

"I... I suppose you're right," Lyla said, a little deflated. The pixie had been a little religious before her death, but not Christian. She had believed in a sort of rebirth after death, but she never believed she would still be herself . The way she understood it, her soul would move onto a new body, and there wouldn't be any memory of her past life. Not that she'd wake up seconds after her death, six inches tall, and confused as fuck.

The pixie sighed. She felt a lot of the tension leave her body as she closed her eyes. The small girl leaned back on the desk and continued to breathe for a few more moments, before a slight smile danced on her lips. "Well, this is gonna sound dumb as shit, but at least I can't work anymore. Who the hell would hire me?"

That confirmed it. He was like her. Yet, it seemed he had no more answers than she did.

"I was pulled under. I was drowning, and... I called out for his help, and... and I rose." Adria looked around, making sure no one else was close to them.

"Now I'm faster... I'm stronger... I can... I can sense things..." She started to look distraught for the first time. "I just... I don't know what I'm supposed to do. Can I even go home now? What does he want me to do? I keep on asking, but I just don't know..."

The traces of a unique aura manifested in the distance.
