[9/16 - Daytime]   Rednal Ak'Thias and Korina Yamaka"So... feel better now that you had a chance to vent?" Korina asked, looking over at Rednal."Yeah." he admitted. "I've... spent a long time holding everything in, trying to bull through with stubbornness alone. I'm not really used to sharing my feelings, and I'm not sure if I'm doing it right, but... it really does help to have someone around that I can talk to.""How about that green-haired girl?" Korina suggested, flashing a smile at him."What green-hai- Faust's not a girl. ...I think. Probably. Okay, I'm not always totally sure, but I'm not judging either. Actually, I did want to talk to him about it, but I wanted to mention it to Soji first and get his thoughts. On the other hand, Soji hasn't actually replied to me yet, and I feel like people should know about this before any of THEM are jumped. My friends aren't weak, but I was barely standing with Aselia's help, and she's better than a lot of people think. If someone like Misha or Kensu got jumped when they were alone..." Frowning, he flipped open his cellphone. Text Message To: Faustus Necromonium From: Rednal Ak'Thias Something nuts happened today. Mind stopping by my place as soon as you've got a bit? He flipped it shut a moment later, then realized Korina was looking at it with a curious gaze. "...What?""Oh, I was just kind of expecting you to have a smartphone instead of a flip one." she observed. "Any particular reason for that?""I'm kind of assuming that my phone's going to get broken sooner or later, so I don't want anything that would cost a lot to replace." Rednal answered promptly. "If it's not that important and I don't have any real attachments to it, it won't be much of a loss when it happens. I actually had Yuno grab me some extras, just to be sure." Yuno had a weirdly high number of phones, and had been happy to share. ...He still wasn't sure how to feel about that.

Faust's...PhoneThere was a slight buzzing a bit later, before Rednal's phone would start anew...and as it did...A familiar number had dialed him back. Faust's Text Message To: Rednal Ak'thias From: Faust More nuts than usual? Well, I've got time to kill. I'll be there in a bit. Hope it doesn't go crazy before I get there.

  Faustus and Amorabundus Necromonium
And, a few minutes later, a soft knocking would be heard at the door. If Rednal, or the others would peer through the peephole, they'd see Faust's familiar green hair....and a figure shorter than him, with bright, familiar pink hair as well.
"Yo..! It's me." Faust's voice called, as the pinkette held his arm tightly. "I heard...something about something nuts?"
Amora clung to Faust's side at this, almost burying her head in his shoulders. She still had that woozy, strange sensation going on..But, she couldn't tell what it was. Set handling the Kokogiak was very handy, given her state...But, she had wandered back to her father, and Cynthia, in time for him to get the message.
'I never wanna let go..' she thought as her head pounded, and she awaited for the door to open. If this was some kind of trick, or trap..She'd fight to keep him safe...Just as she had in the other world...
Faust himself winced a bit from the pressure that Amora Squeezed at him, but did nothing to deter her. She seemed a bit..shaken, and he had to look after her...Somewhat, at least.
'As my child...or, even just as someone in trouble..' he thought, wondering what Rednal had to tell. 'I have to make sure she's okay..'

[9/16 - Daytime] Rednal Ak'Thias and Korina YamakaRednal didn't notice the brown-haired figure that ducked away just as Faust approached - mostly because she was outside and the door was shut. That was a pretty big circumstance penalty to Perception, after all - but he did promptly get up to let Faust in, glancing curiously down at Amora as he did so. Korina, meanwhile, simply gave a friendly wave from the couch in the living room."Oh, yeah, it was all kinds of fun." Rednal said, moving back inside so Faust and Amora had room to come in. "I went on a date, then I got my a** kicked by some kid who was obsessed with that Adachi guy, and I'm pretty sure he has friends that aren't done with this. He, uh, kind of blew up an arcade on me." Which was DEFINITELY all over the news by now. Please don't let him be on camera, please don't let him be on camera... "I think we need to find a way to stop them. Before someone blows up our houses and families. Again."

Faustus and Amorabundus Necromonium
"..Sounds like hella fun." Faust stated flatly, as Rednal started off saying he got his a** kicked by some kid obsessed with Adachi. He'd heard the name from Chie in the past....But, if there were more people looking for him...
An eyebrow raised as he mentioned exploding an arcade..and mentioning they needed to find a way to stop them. The fact he said again so casually..
"I won't let them hurt my daddy." Amora spat venomously, squeezing Faust a bit tighter.
"Well..the only way I see we could find a way to combat them, is to be strong enough for them when they arrive to try to blow us up."
He gently wiggled his arm to get Amora to let go of him, he bounced on his feet slightly, akin to his mentor. "I've been training all morning..and I'm not even a morning person. Gotta be prepared for whenever our enemies strike."
Amora nodded slightly, her hands lightly reaching for the cross along her wrist. She'd been watching him all day...But, she would be excited to get to actually train with him. She looked over the others at this, on guard...As if she was expecting them to attack, right that moment.

[9/16 - Daytime] Rednal Ak'Thias and Korina Yamaka"We're probably gonna need more people. Or, like, lead them to wherever Soji is." Unless it was home. Neither Soji nor Dojima-san would EVER forgive him for leading some mass-murdering monsters to where Nanako was, and he couldn't object to that. Fortunately, cell phones were a thing. "It's not beating them when we're together that I'm worried about - it's what we're gonna do if they catch us alone. Having to run kind of pisses me off, but I didn't have much of a choice." And he still didn't know how that guy had found him, or knew his (weak) connection to Adachi, or ANYTHING. "You know, I think they make escape trinkets." Korina observed from the couch. "Little one-use spells. Maybe you guys should get a couple of those."

Faustus and Amorabundus NecromoniumFaust rolled his eyes as Rednal remarked on how they needed either more people...or leading them to Soji.
"We can't rely on Soji to fix all of our problems, ya'know." he replied in a slightly annoyed tone, rubbing his head. "Just cause he's the leader, doesn't mean we're too feeble to do anything as a team."
He then paused..before letting out a light snicker.
"Wait..you ran from this threat?" he called, with a badly suppressed grin. "Sorry...but picturing you running...at all, is just...hard to imagine."
Rednal tended to be a bit...bull-headed about things, and acted like a brick wall. So...Was he actually scared?
"I'm not gonna be running." he added to Rednal's friend, firmly. "If I end up getting in a fight that's over my head..again.. I'll just fight with everything I have. Like I always do."
He'd done so before..even if it didn't turn out well for him. From the time Teros and Kazuma attacked his home...To when Kusuri had been kidnapped by Hetero's group...or even when Raiden had attacked Keira and the others at the gym. He stood his ground then...and he'd stand his ground now. Having his powers didn't hurt...But he wasn't the same scared boy he had been in the past...He'd grown."And I won't let him be alone, for them to prey on." Amora added, looking up at the silver haired boy. He was...wasn't he supposed to be Euphie's dad? The way she spoke about him...didn't match the image she'd pictured for him....
'Though...nobody seems to act like we remember..' she thought quietly, the pounding in her head seeming to intensify...before quelling once more. Whatever was going on...She'd hoped it'd stop soon."And neither will I." Another..somewhat unfamiliar voice called, taking Faust's other side. A figure from another world... a different time...With different foes. Porcelain, pale skin...Blonde hair...and a dainty step. She looked almost like a doll...and radiated with a sort of demonic energy...but, she gave Rednal the same smile she usually wore....With a sinister undertone. "He's my friend...and they can't play with him!""....What?...Oh...Alice." Faust called, closing his eyes. She was..a remnant from that other time...with the otherworldly, alien monsters. She..made her way to follow him to this world? That was...interesting.

[9/16 - Daytime] Rednal Ak'Thias and Korina Yamaka... "I'm not even going to ask." Rednal said. She looked a lot like the figure he'd seen in the Haunted House, but there was something... different... about her, too. Was this that 'multiple existences' thing he'd heard about? (That was not the weirdest thing he dealt with on a daily basis. By this point he was just taking stuff in stride.) "And yeah, just remembering it makes me mad, but Aselia was hurt. I might be as stubborn as a herd of donkeys, but some things are more important than winning." A brief cloud crossed his expression. "And I'm definitely going to pay them back for that one."

Faustus and Amorabundus Necromonium"...Let's just say she's an old friend." he stated flatly, the blonde demoness leaning on him. As Rednal remarked on how it made him mad...and that he would get them back...His expression deadened.
"By Leading them to where Soji is?" Faust snarked, spitting back what Rednal had just said they'd have to do. His friend's comment on the escape trinkets hadn't even been giving any more thought, as he let out a sigh.
"It's just another challenge for us to overcome. You can't always rely on Soji to do your dirty work. That's the reason we have the current issue, isn't it?
Shadow Soji...The half that seemed to have broken off on it's own..and become their prominent threat. Between him, and the rest of the followers under him...they had their work cut out for them."I don't care what you do, Euphie's dad." Amora snapped, gripping onto Faust's arm. "I nearly lost Daddy twice....And I'm Not going to give him to anyone else...Or let anything get in my way."
She hadn't even held her phone anymore....something about it had frayed....broken. She couldn't summon Vennie, or draw out her powers...but she wouldn't let anything get between them.
The pounding had mostly abated in her head....but she could feel something on her. Something weighing on her mind...something heavy....
'I am thou..'

[9/16 - Daytime] Rednal Ak'Thias and Korina Yamaka"Hey, if you can't beat someone yourself, you might as well lead them to someone who can." Rednal said with a small shrug. "I tried doing it with Aselia and that didn't work, and I'm not crazy enough to do the same thing over and over when it's not working."Snkaaaaahahahahahaha.Shut it, you.He did, however, look over to Amora a moment later. "...Not even your mom?" he asked, genuinely curious. After all, even the most dedicated children usually wanted to be born. (Although a lot of that depended on causality whether or not any of the kids would actually have to be conceived now. Maybe they could just keep existing, having more-or-less spontaneously appeared as far as the world was concerned.) You're hiding from dark thoughts again. Why don't you just admit that you're jealous about the idea of Faust and some form of Keira getting together?I don't control her. She's free to be with whoever she wants... and I don't like how possessive I can act. That's not the person I want to be, and I'm trying to change it.

Faustus and Amorabundus NecromoniumFaust rolled his eyes at Rednal's remark, saying to lead them to someone that could.
"I prefer to stand my ground, and if I fight, I'd rather go out with no regrets."
It was hard for him to find something he couldn't handle...But, if he was at the point he had to fight an unbeatable foe...Well, he'd have a bunch of that in the other world, yeah?
"'Sides, if I can't beat a foe, they'll probably be able to catch me if I try to run."
Even if he WAS faster than most everyone on the team...He didn't like the idea of running.Amora's eyes flickered as Euphie's dad remarked on her mother, the girl glancing away as he said this.
"She doesn't accept me.." Amora called softly..sadly to herself. Even if her father had finally accepted her, her mother was still violently against the idea of her actually being related. The girl gripped Faust a bit tighter, looking...more worried than she let on. "But...anyone that tries to take Daddy away from me.."
There was that incessant, pounding headache again. She felt it swelling up...Trying to break free....
But, she'd keep it contained...She'd keep it under control. She had to stay strong....
Those were her mother's last words, before they had gone back into the past....And, even if the current-time frame of her mother didn't believe in her....
She'd honor her last words...As best she could...Alice merely held onto Faust's other arm, peering at Rednal with a curious...but not exactly assuring expression.
"Are you one of my friends too?" she called, standing on her tip toes. "A friend of my best friend here..?"
Her words oozed in an...eerie tone. Rednal might want to choose his words carefully....

[9/16 - Daytime] Rednal Ak'Thias and Korina Yamaka"Eh, I prefer to win, even if I have to run the first couple of times. As annoying as it is, there's some stuff you can't do on your own." He glanced towards the other girl hanging onto Faust a moment later, then at Amora. "Uh..." Let's not push the button on THAT pile of crazy. He turned back to Alice a moment later. "I don't know if I'm your friend or not, 'cuz that's your decision to make. If you want to play with someone, though, Flan could always use the company." he gestured towards a nearby door with one thumb. Korina covered her mouth in order to hide her smile. Well, that was one way of dealing with the situation. She faced Amora a moment later, though, after having composed herself. "Have you tried talking to Izumi about it?" she inquired.

Faustus and Amorabundus Necromonium
Faust shrugged as Rednal said he'd prefer to win..even if it meant running a few times.
"Whatever.." he called, shaking his head a bit..as the boy addressed the demon at his side. He lightly shook his head some more, gesturing towards her.
"He's Fine. No threat here." he stated to her, the demoness smiling widely. Almost as soon as she had appeared....She disappeared.
"Sorry about her...She..followed me across..dimensions, I think."
Had it been anyone else, Faust would have probably come up with an excuse..but, if anyone would understand the kind of crazy s**t that went on..It would be him.
"She...doesn't really acknowledge me." Amora stated quietly, tapping her fingers against her head. "Something in the past is..different..But.."
She buried her head into Faust's shoulder, softly groaning. Her head was hurting..it hurt so bad....What was going on..?
'I am Thou....'
"Nnnngh.."

[9/16 - Daytime] Rednal Ak'Thias and Korina YamakaFollowed across dimensions, eh? ...Not the weirdest thing he'd seen happen today, much less in the last week. I don't even care anymore. Weird stuff happens, and it's best to just roll with it and not think too hard about how impossible it is. After all, if he was going to complain about impossibilities, he'd have to start with the psycho living in his head. She was constantly making horrible suggestions, and even if he often found himself grinning, it was just... sigh. More to the point, what was going on with Amora? This place had already been trashed once today, so if she was going to freak out... "Really? I feel like she'd be more approachable than Yuno is. I'm not sure where she is at the moment, though. She kind of went off on her own a little while ago..." Korina mused, glad that Rednal was between her and the little kid as Amora showed signs of obvious distress. She wanted to help, but something was telling her that it would be better to hold back for a few moments. She did, however, carefully adjust her ring... just in case.

Faustus and Amorabundus Necromonium
Faust was a bit surprised that Rednal didn't raise an eyebrow at the comment....but then brushed that off as just another case of rednal being...well, Rednal. Hearing the other woman say Yuno went off on her own, Faust waved a hand.
"Ah...I'll let you know if I see her." he replied, turning towards Amora, nd pulling her into a firm hug. "Though..Unless you have something else of note, I think I'm gonna take Amora home. She..seems unwell."
Yes, he'd noticed. No, he didn't comment on it, because she was a strong girl....But, at the same time, he still had the little feeling in his head..That little bit of doubt that could never be washed away. If the girl was really...
"I wanna go home..." Amora called, burying herself in Faust's chest. The aching pain wasn't going away...And it didn't feel like any normal kind of pain. If something was going to happen...She didn't want to be where she was. Even if Faust hadn't said anything, she would have started out...And she was moving already, without waiting on him.
'Stop....Stoppit..'
