(( Remember that distraction? Gah, and after all that waiting. I am sorry again. )) In many ways, as things regained a sense of normalcy, it was worse than the hectic, insanity that had him moving at a breakneck pace. The pounding in his head intensified, his own heartbeat in his ears. Even though he could not see it, he knew the priestess was crying - could feel it. His head bowed, reverent and he stumbled over a step as they climbed the stairs. Quick to cover it up, he put on a small smile that echoed Lorika's. "I have a confession to make." Better to say it now, he thought, to give her more time to think until they reached whatever matter of room or prison Lorika was headed for. "I do not remember ... everything. I fell asleep on the beach the night before ... and I woke, and I did not know who I was."

(( -spazz and fix-
Edit: There, nailed them all, I hope. I can be a tad dyslexic even though my spellchecker catches most of them, and I know how annoying it is to have your name misspelled. ))

Be good... Lorika was, of course, shocked to hear this. Her head jerked around to look at him, tears clearly visible on her cheeks. She wiped them away, and sniffed.
"Let's get to the Sanctuary. Then we may speak freely."
She led him up the final flight of steps and into the heavily curtained room. The entire place was filled with a sense of calm that permeated and soothed all those who entered. Lorika, however, seemed to have grown somewhat immune to the room's effects by spending so much time there. She was now troubled by her worries no matter where she went or what she did.
There were a couple of acolytes in the room, and they stared openly at the Overseer. Lorika signalled for him to keep moving, and they both disappeared behind one set of curtains masking a larger area of floor space - the throne "room".
Aware that the acolytes may be listening but too afraid of showing herself to be cruel by asking them to leave in front of the Overseer, she contented herself with whispering.
"You really cannot remember a thing?" She mumbled. "I thought there was something strange about you. Do you not even remember me...?"
...and you will be lonesome.

"It was different. Not bad. We all protected, fought, lived, and slept. Much like life here, abet with more demonic realizations." She laughed, short and bright. "That's smart. I fight in...Well, basically a sports bra and short shorts. I go for the celtic style of war in that sense. If I'm fate to die, I'm fated to die. No armor will stop that. A bit stupid really."
She looked at him. "Not so different to me then. I'm 16 too, but I'm big for my age. As in almost six foot big. And I'm a sadist."
She laughed again.

Evelyn 
Evelyn had passed out upon entering the Temple. She suffered from unfortunate fits of insomnia followed by uncontrollable narcolepsy, or as most other preferred to call it, Evelyn worked and played and stayed up until her body finally gave out and forced her to sleep.
Because of this, Evelyn found herself waking up in a pew, all by herself. She freaked out at first, wondering where Bakar could be and why he was not with her.
Attempting to stand and look for him, Evelyn remembered the injury to her ankle. She instantly fell back into the pew and curled up into the fetal position, just trying to calm herself down.
She listened intensely to the conversations taking place around her.
{{Sorry, guys!!! I was so busy last night that I completely forgot about this--darn paper writing! I would join in and RP with you guys now, but I have to go to Advent service at church. So just...no one saw her stand. And I believe I read everything right, but I might have missed some stuff, so when I come back can someone brief me?}}

Guilt was etched there in every world-weary line of his face. He wished to block out the strangeness of this new room, all too alien to him, and for the fifteenth hundred time today he taxed his memory for a glimmer of something recognizable. If he could, that proved everything, right? When he opened his eyes again, he searched Lorika's face. All he could remember was her tears. Where was the holy war? Where was the clash of battle? Of right and wrong? Where was the clearly defined laws of good verses evil?
Lost was only one word for it, and he settled down on the floor, defeat weighing heavily on his shoulders. His hands shook, another crack through the armor, and it was only an anger at his plight that filled in.
"I cannot remember anything." He shot at her, teeth bared, "Go ahead and laugh. I do not know how to do anything."

 "Sadist..." A sweatdrop ran down the back of Bapp's head, anime-style. "Is that so?"Not very sure how people can find pleasure in hurting others, but...
"Well, it looks like we have quite a bit of things in common." He said with a grin. He looked around, wondering what everyone else was doing.
"Are we supposed to be waiting for something right now?"

Once Angelique made it to the kitchen, she noticed some Acolytes there, eating. She grinned: they would help her make the great feast. "Didn't you guys hear the bell?! The Overseer's back! High Priestess Lorika ordered us to make a big feast!" she exclaimed. The Acolytes looked at her with disbelief, but knew that no Acolyte who was right in their mind would lie about something like this. They all got up and began to prepare the food for the great celebratory feast. [[Alright Inu! =) See you later!]]

Harata looked at his expression, giggling. "It was a joke, actually. There is not -ist word to describe what I am. So I said the first one that came into my head." Harata shook her head slightly. "Not that I know of. But then again, I'm fairly new here. A guest, I have no assigned duty, though I do help the novices generally."

"For some reason I'm being treated like a guest too." He laughed a bit. "Even though I've been around for quite awhile, looks I haven't been seen much by the people around here."
He slouched down in the pew and grinned.
"At least we get to slack." Bapp turned to the sound of clanging noises in the kitchen.
"Are they cooking food for us? Sweet." He smiled at the idea of not having to prepare his own food out of gathered resources.
"What are you going to do after this? Stay? Leave? I mean, after all, it seems you're being treated differently here."

Be good...The High Priestess physically flinched at the venom in the Overseer's words. Her kind face could have been no more stricken if he had, well, struck her.
Fortunately, this was her Overseer she was dealing with. She recovered herself, face full of concern, and leaned forward tenderly, placing both hands on his chest.
"My Lord," she whispered "I would never dream of laughing at you."
Searching through his eyes with her own, she saw the pain and the turmoil he had been through in such a short space of time.
"I do not know what has happened to you, but I intend to put it right."
She paused, hands still resting on him and standing too close for an onlooker to deem decent. "I should tell you that you have an option. I could simply use a spell that will allow you to block out all your worries for a time, or I could... help you repair yourself, bit by bit, beginning now. Which one would you like?"
"That is," she continued in an undertone "If you would not prefer to be alone for some time." It was difficult to hide the regret that this was still an option, and the hope that he may choose one of the others.
...and you will be lonesome.

(((Kyo's not gunna be happy with you, Lori)))
"It's a feast for the overseer's return." She said simply.
"Where would I go? Else were are those who gave me my injury, and their influence is great. I would love to leave. But what about Eve, and Bakar? Odin too." She sighed. "It's a catch 22, if you ask me. Either way I lose. And you?"
She turned to look at him.

(( AUUUUUAAAUUUUUUU MY CAT FARTED
AUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Well, her relationship with the Overseer is one of complete devotion, that's all. She feels no boundaries with him, and wants to serve him as best as she can. I understand that this could be interpreted as romantic love, but it wasn't my intention, really. *Waits for Bapp to comment on how creepily she roleplays* XD
EDITTED COS I SUCK AT REMEMEBRINGW HAT I WAS SAYING HALFWAY THROUGH A SENTENCE APPARENTLY ))
