Javor gave Hatira a knowing look and as he stopped by the door, he touched it with the two first fingers of his right hand and traced two triangles--one up right and one inverted above the first.
His fingers left a glowing trail of red light in the form of the shapes he'd traced. He spoke a soft command and beneath his fingers, the wood wavered, shifted and began to repair itself. Within a few seconds the door looked precisely as it had before.
He smiled mischievously at Hatira. "Now no one will ever know."

Hatira laughed and smiled right back at that and replied, "Creative."
She went over and gently washed the door with water from some of the mess and the water dissappeared just as quickly, "Now it's cleaned up."

Once Inutai calmed down, Toshi sighed in relief and patted his head softly with a slight smile. He turned his head in Angela's direction (using her scent as a guide), and nodded slightly. "Thank you, I really do appreciate that you helped Inutai. And he does as well."
Inutai nodded slightly and glanced over at Angela. "I do! Thank you! That noise really hurt my ears. . ."

"Shrimpy" scrambled after the others, the soft eerie singing ringing in her ears. She shuddered at the tingling that ran up her spine, and hurried a little ahead of the troupe, peering around in the now dark room. She flicked the customary bell for attendance curiously, and jumped at the surprisingly loud noise. She blushed and decided to not fiddle around too much after that.

(*Back from school! Whenever I'm gone, you can just have my character follow you around)
Christine followed the rest of them into the inn, gently turning her head away from the room the blood was in. She silently surveyed the check-in room she was in. Christine hoped the free night counted for all of them, because she didn't have any money. She wanted to look around more, but stayed where she was. If she walked around, people would notice. And if she started wandering, she couldn't promise she'd stay away from the blood. Best to just follow everyone else.

"No--that--ah--" Angela could feel her cheeks burning. "I think it's pretty normal to help someone in pain," she finally managed. "I'm just glad you're better now." She ruffled his hair gently and stood.
The situation was not improving, that was certain. And what the hell was with this inn? No one worked here? And now they'd stooped to breaking and entering? (Something which was, technically, her fault to begin with. But she conveniently forgot that).
She watched the flaming shrimp wander around and finally settle for ringing the bell on the counter, then seem overly startled when it actually, you know, rang.
That girl is definitely not right in the head, Angela thought. She casually walked over to her and leaned against the counter. "And what about you?" she asked in as gentle a tone as she could muster so as not to frighten her again, "are you alright now?"
**
Javor and Hatira were standing close to the entrance and not far from them was was a girl who'd been following them for some time but for whom Javor could not recall a name. She was acting a little odd and had a strange feeling about her.
She didn't smell like magic but...something else. He was curious so he simply went straight to her and smiled in what he believed was a friendly manner.
"I don't remember you," he told her. "I'm Javor Karel." He looked thoughtful for a moment and then stuck his hand out. Shaking hands was the proper Human greeting and if he touched her, he might be able to get a better sense about what she was. "Hello."
[Random introduction is random. But hey, Javor is all about being random and someone needs to interact with this poor girl.]

Shrimpie blinked at the older woman curiously. She didn't really understand why the white haired woman kept trying to talk to her when neither of them could understand the other.... while she understood the sentiment, it made her feel slightly stupid as she couldn't even find a way to respond. Her sharply heterochromatic eyes met the other's for a moment, then she glanced to the ground and uncomfortably shuffled her feet as she leaned against the wall.

Is this girl deaf? Angela wondered. She understood there seemed to be a language barrier between them but if the shrimp would just speak, Angela might be able to recognize her language. What if the girl had some kind of information they needed? They couldn't continue not being able to communicate with her.
She rubbed her forehead and chewed her bottom lip uncertainly. There was one thing she could try but she didn't know if it would work considering that most of her abilities only worked when they wanted to and not when she wanted them to. And even if it did work, it definitely wouldn't be...pleasant.
She watched the girl shuffle her feet and stare at the floor.
Damnit! She was bloody sick of not having answers and not knowing who the hell these people were and where they were from. Any bit of information could be an important piece to the puzzle. They needed to be able to talk to each other! She steeled her jaw and reached out to the girl, planting the palm of her right hand squarely on the girl's forehead. The girl's eyes widened in shock and alarm but Angela just closed her fingers tightly around the girl's skull, closed her eyes and concentrated. For several seconds, nothing happened and then Angela felt something inside uncoil and ripple outward.
And then mind numbing pain exploded behind her eyes as feelings, emotions and thoughts from the girl flooded into her head. She struggled to focus so she could find the information she was seeking in the other girl's mind. As soon as she had it, she quickly retreated and yanked her hand away. She stumbled backwards into a table, clutching her head in agony.
So...So much red. Everywhere. Why was there so much red? She could hear someone's screams, over and over slicing into her and somewhere a girl was laughing. None of it made sense. She realized this was a memory from that girl. Some kind of horrible memory. She held onto her head and curled up into a ball, willing the screams to stop.
It took a long moment for the memory to fade and the contact between their minds to completely break off, leaving her feeling like her head was going to explode.
She was so focused on the pain in her own head had no idea how the girl was faring--probably just as poorly.
"Brilliant idea," Angela muttered. "Just brilliant."

Inutai smiled up at Angela as he ruffled his hair and watched her walk off to talk to some strange girl he hadn't remembered seeing before. However, he saw her do something strange with the girl's head and watched curiously, having seen nothing like it before. When Angela pulled away, something seemed wrong. She didn't look so good.
Abruptly, the boy hopped off Toshi's lap and rushed over to Angela (the chain being long enough for Inutai to reach without Toshi having to move) worriedly without so much as a second thought. "Angela! Are you okay?" he asked her. "Did something happen? Are you hurt?" He stood in front of her, looking up at her rather worriedly.

She froze at the sound of the voice echoing in her head, and the bloody--for there was only one thing that red shade could belong to--images rending her mind apart. The screams hurt her physically, and she clapped her hands over her ears as the dog demon had but a few moments before. Then came the laughter, hoarse and shrill, that of someone in pain.
It took her a few moments to realize she was the one laughing after the laughter in her mind stopped. She stopped, horrified, and her back slowly slid down the wall she had been leaning against, and she hugged her knees in blank and utter terror. She buried her face in her knees and sat still.
||First psychotic episode! (: ||

Christine watched in confusion as this unknown girl burst into a fit of hysterics. And that girl was afraid of her? Strange....
(*Sorry, for my long absences. I had to go to a concert last night. And now it's off to school again!)

None of the other characters are interacting with or are afraid of you right now.]

[So we are just waiting for the innkeeper?, I will have to entertain while we wait XD]
Without reason or cause, Zensekai booked it and darted half way down the coast as fast as he could. He was out of sight in thirty seconds time, a white figure with a carrot top.
Freaks just keep getting younger and younger, no problem ignoring me, but can you ignore a little girl?
The thought came once he was away from everyone else.
"Not him too..." Ky mumbled, while trying to help Angela with the odd girl, and trying to make sense of the vampire. A good vampire? Was such a thing possible? Perhaps in other universes...

[For the record Zen, the original innkeeper is dead thanks to Cleo and Cleo did mention that she didn't intend to come back to the inn.]
Angela looked up at Inutai, who was watching her with concern. He asked if she was alright.
"Guh," was not actually what she intended to say. But her throat was so tight and her mouth didn't really want to work so that was what came out. She could tell he was confused by this response. Holding up her hand, she swallowed hard and tried again. "Water. Please."
Her vision was swimming still but beginning to clear a bit. She could see the girl huddled against the wall whimpering and inwardly kicked herself for doing something so completely reckless. She just hadn't quite expected it to work quite that well.
Angela attempted to take a step forward but somewhere along the spiderweb of nerves that connected her legs to her brain, the message saying "Move legs forward steadily" got a bit muddled and she sort of staggered a bit and fell on her knees.
Searching for the information she'd retrieved moments ago, she managed to say hoarsely. "I'm sorry! I'm--are you okay? It was the only way to learn your language. I'm sorry."
