"Ha! Point taken. I was just thinking that I wanted to try and, I don't know, do something about this. Well, not about this . I'm not sure anything can be done about it. But I just wanted to move forward in some way - start this new life I've been given."

He looked away again. "No, that isn't it. I wanted to run from my old life. Maybe before what's happened. I guess the trick of it is, that even if I tried, I couldn't actually leave it, or get away from it, or what - even after this ."
He snickered. "I guess I couldn't escape from it if I tried."

He looked back at her red eyes. "But for all that talk, it doesn't help either of us. At this rate, I doubt you'll find what the Lord wants for you by talking to me." He stood back up. "I don't think, 'the Lord helps those who help themselves' is actually in the Bible, but I've always thought it should be. Do you have any inclinations, or signs, of what you think He wants you to do next? I'm thinking of getting some new clothes and finding a place to sleep for the night." 404 SIGNATURE NOT FOUND

Titty automatically raises a hand as if thinking to help Lyla stay balanced on her shoulder, her brows wrinkled in a worried frown. "I....Think I need some water, yeah," she mumbles with a grimace. She tries very hard to ignore the rather lewd sounds from next door, but a pink tinge rises in her cheeks.

Why had she been brought back? Why was she here? She didn't belong here. Kathy didn't want to stay. Hadn't wanted to stay. Yet here she was. She could not escape. Kathy had taken a leap of faith, but the mortal coil had yanked her back to cruel reality. It was the cruelest joke, but one she knew well.

The bitter punchline. The dark thoughts, the loneliness, the second guessing. The friends who never seemed to notice her pain, never seemed to care when she wasn't there. The family that wanted so much of her, but would never give her even an inch of understanding. So many days, locked away, isolated, without a soul to see. So much time going by, flying by, crawling by. Faces pass, but there is no recognition. Would anyone notice if she left? Would anyone care once she was gone?

It had been too long since something had gone right for Kathy. She couldn't even die right. She was stupid, stupid to think otherwise. Of course she couldn't escape. This suffocating nightmare which haunted her every step, this blackest night which reached past her every horizon and left all her hopes and dreams in shadow. The perverse tentacles of her melancholic soul, reaching back into her past, turning each happy memory into a dagger with which to impale her with the reminder: you were once loved. You are loved no longer.

No happy thought, no sunrise, was without taint. Each and every one was now twisted, malformed. A time when Kathy thought she was happy. A time when she thought she had a future outside of this pain. A folly, surrounded by false friends, with grins that never reached the eyes and promises that faltered at the first sign of adversity. They were all gone. Kathy was still here.

In the adjacent apartment, it would take some moments before the happy couple would realise the change. That the burning of their loins was not simply passion, but the retracting of their pubic hair into their bodies, leaving behind gaping holes which birthed forth writhing tendrils of blackness, like a hundred small worms, segmented, hungry, searching. They wriggled forth, part of their bodies and yet independent of them, burrowing mouths at their tips with which to feast.

And soon, they would.

Kathy glanced up as Liam offered to go fetch the group a drink. "I'm fine," she said, in a small voice. Hags be hagglin', gods be god damn crazy, it's all happening ogre at Into The Fire

" Nothing for me, " Ivy replied to Liam, turning her gaze back over to Titty who -out of all of them - seemed to be the one handling things the worst, not even seeming to remember her death. Insistent, even, that she hadn't died, only that her body had changed. Was it possible? Given everything else that'd happened, yeah, that seemed pretty possible now. Still, her situation was so similar to the rest of their situation that it might just be trauma blocking her memories.

...Ivy couldn't lie, she kind of envied that. Not remembering her gruesome final moments? Yeah, that would do great. She hurriedly pushed the memories away as her bubble of fury rose again, nudging it back down before she lost her temper.

" Either way, " She spoke up again, looking at Titty. " Dead in a new body or just changed, you're in the same boat as the rest of us. Ain't a thing I see in the mirror I recognize, no way anyone else would think I'm the same person - so, throwing it out there, I figure we should all stay together or at least keep in contact. Feels like it'd be a lot better than going it alone. "

Around then the cries of passion from the next room over turned up a notch, becoming screams. Ivy scowled even as a slight redness dusted her face, her hand impulsively going for the other bedpost and tearing the circular orb off the end of it - then throwing it at the wall. It smacked into it with a loud CRACK, the piece of wood embedding itself an inch into the wall and staying there. " Shut the hell up over there, we get it, you're having a great fuckin' time! " She shouted.

The screams died down shortly after as the residents of the next room over fainted in shock. I am Inferi.

Liam Richard

As Liam stepped outside, he paused and shot a concerned look toward the next door motel suite when the screaming began. Unlike the rest of his companions, he wasn't entirely sure those were screams of pleasure. At first he thought something bad might be happening, but then the screams died down, and he concluded that either it had been resolved, or he had been mistaken.

Anyhow, he pushed the thoughts aside and carried on toward the vending machine. Then gave it a moment's thought.

Only one person had actually asked for anything. Some water. Kathy had said she was fine, but it had been spoken in a 'I'm not actually fine' tone. Did that mean she wanted something after all? But he knew nothing of her taste. Then there were the others to consider. Lyla hadn't asked for anything, but she was probably too small to drink from these anyway. Ivy's refusal meanwhile, had been spoken firmly and confidently; there was no ambiguity there.

Only Kathy's reply had confused him, and...

...wait, why the hell was he putting so much thought into this?

In the end, he opted for a water, a gatorade, a sprite, and a coke. Even if only one person wanted a drink, the others might change their mind later - especially if the water was out. If not, Liam could just drink them himself. Not today, of course. But he was technically homeless and would need something to drink tomorrow.

"Alright, I'm back," he declared, stepping into the room with the four bottles in hand. He handed the bottle of water to Titty, placed the sprite and the coke on a table near Kathy, then stepped into a corner of the room and opened the gatorade. "Feel free to help yourselves to those if you change your mind," he said to nobody in particular, gesturing to the table. Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.

Lyla grew a little concerned at the audible screaming coming from the other room. It didn't quite sound like screams of joy or pleasure, but... No one else seemed to be worried about it. Then Ivy stuck a chunk of wood into the wall, and the screams quickly died down. The pixie hoped the neighbors were doing okay.

Liam left the room to go get some drinks from a vending machine, and quickly returned with a decent selection of drinks. He handed a water bottle to Titty, who presumably took it. He also set a couple bottles of soda on a table and stated that anyone could claim them. But he cracked the seal on a bottle of gatorade. The little pixie's head tilted as she watched the liquid.

Without really considering what she was doing, she raised her hands. With the motion, a stream of gatorade flowed out of the bottle. Lyla's eyebrows knitted, slowly connecting that she was guiding the stream of gatorade. It felt like a natural extension of herself. It wasn't normal, but she didn't really stop to think about it.

A mischievous little smirk crossed the fae's face. She moved her hands and along with them moved the gatorade. Though she had only taken a small portion of the liquid, she shaped it into a fish and guided it around Liam's head.

"Well, that's new," she muttered, still cocking her head to the side as she slid the gatorade fish through the air.

"Oh," said Kathy, noting that Liam had returned to the room and had brought bottled offerings. The swelling spiral of dark thoughts that had skulked their way out of the locked chambers of the deepest recesses of her mind had been sundered by the distraction. In the moment where concentration was broken, Kathy lent forward and picked up a sprite. "Thanks."

Cracking open the bottle and taking a sip, feeling the cold plastic against the palms of her hands, Kathy reflected on the generosity of the gesture. It made her feel nice. What had she been thinking about before? She'd lost her train of thought. She frowned, trying to pick up on it again -

There was fish-shaped gatorade flying around Liam's head.

Kathy's eyes flickered to Lyla, whose outstretched hands seemed to be guiding the liquid. Kathy's jaw dropped, gobsmacked. This was amazing! She suddenly felt a great elevation in her mood; a smile burst across her face.

"Oh my god!" She announced. "You can control fizzy drinks!" She moved forward onto her knees, crouching before Lyla from the floor. Already Kathy's chaotic mind was whirling at the possible implications of this new declaration of magical ability.

"You could drop coke on packets of mints!" She offered maniacally. Hags be hagglin', gods be god damn crazy, it's all happening ogre at Into The Fire

Liam blinked in surprise at the liquid fish which swam around his head. Then, for the first time that night, he smiled. "You know what? At this point, I'm not even surprised anymore." And with that, he darted forward and swallowed the fish whole. Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.

Adria looked Oliver up and down, noticing finally how ill-fit his clothes indeed were.

"Clothes..." she repeated quietly, slowly looking down at her own outfit. Her face began to burn almost as red as her eyes while her stomach flipped. She really couldn't believe she'd worn something so scant in public, let alone in front of the stranger she'd traveled with. What must he have thought of her?

Adria longed for a more modest attire like she usually wore, but with no money and while miles away from home, there was no other choice. The god she needed was a tailor. If only his miracles could be so casual.

...And suddenly...

The shadows wrapped around her body began to mold and shift. The flowing longcoat began to tighten and shrink. In seconds the audacious garments melted away and instead became a knee-length skirt and a formal button-down blouse. They were the same smooth-yet-sturdy material, and darker than the hollow moon.

Her shame became disbelief as she watched the transformation. She was completely shocked that The Lord would answer such a petty prayer and so quickly.

"I..." Adria began, not sure what to say anymore "...I'm not sure. I can... I can sense things..."
