"Oh. I see." Vanessa nodded in understanding. "Then that's a great gift." The pirate laughed when Skylar talked about Aaron having a girlfriend. "Hahah! That's none o' my business." She looked Aaron up and down, contemplatively, before laughing even harder at the thought. "Yer in de-ni-al~ So what's it like? Bein' in a relationship?"

"Ah, well I recommend (Insert food name hurrr ;w; )" Clone said with a light smile. She then giggled lightly "Would you like me to join you?" she asked shyly, a small hint of blush on her cheeks.

Benevolent Rose Jeremy took a long sigh. "It's a very long story, Lizz. With no clear hero or villain. You'll find yourself completely drained, and possibly even second think your reasonings." They made it to the mansion. Walking in, Aaron sighed and called out, "Anyone home?" There was the sound of cluttered glass, then a head poked out. A boy with black hair and green streaks in it. He wore emo clothing, and looked at the newcomer, blinking. "She's not one of them, is she?" He asked. "No, she's not," Aaron replied with a sigh. "This is Vanessa. A... A pirate. We have a problem." "Gerald is asleep. Probably for a while. She had a long day in town." "And Ren?" "Still in Merthage. Apparently there was something he had to do there." "What about Savannah?" "At the Academy. School is in session, and Caleb's helping her with the poisons." "Any word about new ones?" "Not yet. Oh, except there is a lot of energy at the fashion place. There may be a few there." "Okay. So it's just you and Geraldine here tonight." The boy nodded, and he sighed. "Well then, I guess I'll tell the others later. Skylar, there is a problem." "Hey Skylar!" Hannah said enthusiastically. "How's my shy little emo kid?!" Skylar blushed and responded with an irritated pout, "I'm not your shy emo kid. Stop that." Clayton smiled lightly, "A-ah, that would be great, thanks." He said, his stomach growling again. "Ah-sorry... S-so do you recommend anything? Will you be eating with me?" Lizz sighed "yeah well I'm not getting any sleep any way tonight, and i'm already second guessing everything for the past five years so nothing new there"

Jeremy sighed, "Alright then... You see, Peng's soul has been troubled. The truth is, his spirit still haunts this world, and it is cursed to obey the Order for all eternity. Just like muscle memory, except it seeped right into his very soul, and it is much more demanding."
"I-I'm not in a relationship!" Aaron replied hotly, and then began to storm off into his room. "I'm going to go clean something."
"He cleans things when he's stressed," Hannah whispered to her coyly. "Oh- Wait! We need to tell them though, the Order is onto us."
Skylar's head poked in again. "... What?"
"The Order," Hannah repeated, "They tried to kill me and Vanessa here, and I think they might know what we're up to."
Clayton smiled and offered to pull up her seat so she could sit. "If ya wouldn't mind," he replied with a grin and a light blush. "I like eatin' with company."

Lizz nodded and sighed, "thank you" she said and started to heard....some where. She didn't care where she just needed to keep moving and to stay calm which was not going to happen any time soon!

Vanessa laughed as Aaron stormed off, debating if she should follow him, her laughs refusing to let her breathe in or move. She decided against the idea and decided to mock him from outside. "Are ya--Hahah!--serious? He--Hahahah!--cleans when he's--Hahah!--stressed? Yer in--Hahah!--de-ni-al~" She held her stomach as she tried to calm down. That type of habit seemed so...him! She didn't know why she could expect him to do that. However, her laughter stopped considerably when Hannah talked about the Order. She took big gasps of air, while a few laughs forced themselves out every now and then.
'We're up ta somethin'. Okay. What.' It was nice to have plans sometimes, even though Vanessa was a rather spontaneous person. Regardless, the pirate was pretty sure she didn't have a plan. Pretty sure. "We have a plan. I'd like to hear about this...plan," she deadpanned. Something else she wanted to know is if she was in it or not. She hoped not. All she wanted to do was to do enough to survive in life. Alone. With entertainment, of course. And preferably find the rest of those people that killed her father. Kill them slowly, torture them a bit, slice out an eye... Vanessa licked her lips in anticipation at the thought, her hand brushing against the cool metal of her gun before she snapped back to reality, pushing her hand into her pocket like that was what she intended to do. 'Tch. Now I really want to shoot something.'

"Skylar, you're the one with the plans. You know better than anyone what their next step would be," Hannah said, looking at him almost pleadingly.
Skylar sighed, then looked up. "HE probably already knows. Jeremy will be bringing in the tiger soon, that's what he said, right? This is no good, everyone is scattered. And no doubt the Order has found a way to track you. Though this is Academy property, so they can't do anything to this building, but they will try to convince the light and dark kingdoms to give them a warrant... The best we can do is stick together, share our information... And save who we can that is directed by this." He looked at Vanessa. "That means Vanessa may have to stay with us."
"What?!" Aaron's cry came from the other room. "Nonono, I'll talk to my grandfather. He'll tell us what to do, there's no need for something so... Drastic."
Jeremy watched Lizz going off, and he was concerned. He felt that she shouldn't go alone, but she was her own grown person and could do whatever she wanted. Besides, she would need some time.

Clone smiled up at him, "I guess I'll join you then~" she said happily, taking her seat.
John glanced out the small circular window on the kitchen door to see Clone and the boy seating themselves at a table. Whoa whoa whoa! They aren't dating are they!? Clone never told me she had any romantic interest in anyone! Is she hiding something from me? He would have gone over to ask who the boy was but he was still working.

Lizz sighed and found her way back to town thinking about everything that just transpired. As she found herself a spot that overlooked some cliffs she called Will back running a hand through her hair, it felt like she was on the edge of the cliff and wanted to just jump.

"And you'd trust a pirate like me?" Outwardly, Vanessa seemed to be joking, but inwardly, she didn't want to hear the answer, even though she knew it. What would it feel like to be a part of something again? Would it feel nice? She wanted to know, but didn't dare let herself hope.
The pirate winced as Aaron flat out rejected the idea. Sure, she knew that would be his reaction, but it still hurt a little. And angered her. "Shut up. At least I fought for my crew, rather than left them for no reason," she spat. "You don't know how lucky you are that you didn't have to watch them die."

"Hannah you told her?!" Aaron shouted out.
"Well its not like YOU'D tell her, and you both have a lot in common, you know. I hate to admit it, but I knows what I sees."
"Honestly," Skylar said, keeping on track unlike the others, "Whether we trust you or not isn't an issue. I don't trust anyone except for Gerald, but it wouldn't be good to let you go out there and disappear by the Order, either. You've been taken here, and you maybe saw something that could give the Order more access. It's not fair to leave you to that torture, nor is it smart to exile you to give them information if you chose. In short, we're in a predicament where we have no choice but to trust you."
"Well I trust you," Hannah said with a big smile. "Don't worry, we won't leave you to deal with the Order yourself. You're safe with us."
"I left for a reason. Hannah, that was cruel to tell her about that," Aaron said, actually looking hurt. "I'm going to talk to my grandpa about all this," he said, leaving the room to go upstairs.
"Oh, by the way, no one's allowed upstairs except for Aaron," Hannah offered. Then she remembered what Vanessa said before. "You... Watched them all die?"
The phone was answered, but it wasn't Bill. "Hey, Lizz? This ah... Isn't a good time. Can you call back in a bit?"
Clayton scooted her chair in like a gentleman, then took the menu. "What was that dish you said earlier? Til-... Tillapeea (Tilapia XP )? Think I'll try it. Waddya want, Clone?" He offered, pushing the other menu her way, though he was sure she already knew what was on the menu.

Lizz was taken back by the voice that wasn't Bill's on the phone and she wasn't exactly sure what was going on, but her stomach starting to tell her it wasn't good. "What's going on?" she asked trying to stay calm in her voice, it not working, her voice cracked from being scared, something no one else had ever heard it sound like

"Ah, Lizz, where's Clayton?" Conner asked, avoiding the question. "How far are you on your quest thing?" Clayton's voice sounded distressed, as if he'd been crying himself. But just like Conner, he kept on a brave, humble persona as far as one could go.

"Conner, what is going on? What happened to Will?" She asked standing up and walking, almost running back to find Clayton, something told her to go home. It suddenly hit her what could have happend, she stopped ang gasped, "Conner, please tell me he's alive! He has to be ok! Conner tell me what happened?!!" she said bursting into tears covering her mouth.

Vanessa ignored Aaron and Hannah's banter in favor of listening to Skylar, scowling when he finished. "Fine then. Do what ya want," she said after a few seconds. She grinned slightly at Hannah, albeit a little reluctantly. "Yer going ta trust me so easily? If I were ya, I'd be a bit more wary o' strangers. And... Well, I'd be a bit more wary of pirates in general." To show what she meant, she swiftly cocked her gun with her gloved right hand, pulling it out of the holster on her hip, and pointed it at Hannah. A sly grin grew on her face as she twirled the gun by the trigger and put it back just as quickly. "Most of us are always armed, ya know? It's good ta be armed in case of ambush. Though I'm sure ya already knew that."
Vanessa rolled her eyes as Aaron left to go upstairs, before retorting under her breath, "A petty reason, I bet." She made no move to follow him, even as Hannah told her no one was allowed upstairs, furrowing her eyebrows at her question. "I did. My friends, my family, my fa-...my father," she choked on her words, before covering up her mistake, "Fought for them. Killed some of the ambushers. But damnit, I never got the person who messed up my eye. I'm goin' ta kill that b*****d if I ever find 'im." For a second, her eye flashed dangerously, and she stuffed her hands in her pockets, before taking one out and waving her hand in front of her face in a 'it's alright' gesture. "I'm fine. S'been six years. I can fend for myself," she said with a sigh, even though her troubled eyes said otherwise.
