Catherine looked exhausted as she made her way to the playground. Jabir was no where in site and she was so lost. Her salvation? The company of people she cared for. She was told by the trees that Salem, Cato, Jizzy... and what they referrred to as 'the demon' were at the playground.
In her arms she held Nariko, cradling the long haired child in her arms, and in Nariko's arms was a bubble that carried a droopy Aphrodite. Behind them was Garreth who was now commanding the enchanted red wagon to follow, in side carried most of the nessecities that Catherine usually carried. "...Say..lem?" She blinked comming to a halt. "What's going on?"

Deimos' eyes narrowed and he began to slowly approach the dragonfly. Witha swish fo his claock and flurry of hands, he had his hands cup around it smikring. "Got it."
Jizzy was shaking. "I.. spider.. everywhere.." She was relapsing, reliving her death, where spiders were poured over her and she died slowly as the poison overtook her body. "get them off.." SHe muttered, her eyes wide as she shook, oblivious she was in the present, now alive and well.

Salem soothingly ran his hand through Jizzy's hair talking in a sweet soft voice, much like a father would to his little girl. He'd had lots of practice with this back at the adoption home. It was a common thing for one of the children to get the living daylights scared out of them and then having to calm the poor things down. This was no new thing and he had taking care of things far larger in size so holding someone the size of an adult wasn't awkward in the least. "Shhh... There's no spiders here to hurt you. That's just Cato, my baby. He would never hurt you. Look. Deimos and him are playing right now! Deimos isn't getting hurt at all. See? It's alright. Nothings going to hurt you. You're safe. There's not spiders here to hurt you. Everything's alright. You're safe here." He was so caught up with trying to keep poor Jizzy calm that he had completely missed Catherine's arrival along with little Aph and two of his former orphans.
Cato smiled happily as he watched the older mishap catch the dragonfly and start coming back with it. He didn't even have to catch it himself! This was great! As for the others getting there... Well... To be blunt he really didn't give a damn.

Garreth was so oblivious to what was happening, he had a job to do and it was to follow his mother, to protect the wagon and it's treasures! "Wagon stop" He said proudly seeing as his mother stopped in her foot steps. He was so happy his mother gave him the responisiblity over the red wagon. He hand to lean to the side to peer past his mother's large rump though. though he wouldn't say it out loud, he did have to admit he and his mother did share some qaulites... like having a big butt.
Catherine too a deep breath, making her way towards Jizzy and Salem. "Is everything ok?"
Nariko blinked, watching Deimos and the many limbed child in the swing seat. Hmm.. swings sounded nice, maybe that would make Aphrodite happy! She blinked her large eyes wandering over to Salem and Jizzy. Woah, why was Aunt Jizzy taking a nap on the floor? Heh, the world is a crazy place.

Deimos made it over to Cato and opened his hands, the dragnfly buzzing in front of him. He smirked. "Told ya I could catch it.." He said, looking over to Jizzy and spotting the other adults, and Nariko, which meant.. 'Smalls!!"
"Spiders.. get them off.."She whispered. Jizzy was rocking back and forht, her arms limp at her sides, her eyes wide as she continued. She'd flinch from time as the mental spiders bit her, and her breath was rapid and frightened. "I don't want to die.. get them off.. spiders.. get them off." SHe muttered.

Cato giggled happily as the dragonfly buzzed into the air above Deimos' hands. It didn't get the chance to do anything else though, without warning Cato seized the bug out of the air and stuffed the whole thing into his mouth, quickly chewing it to death before it would have a chance to bit him. After a moment he spit out the wings, but continued chewing the bug. It's exoskeleton was still poking him a little so it wasn't ready to be swollowed till it was mushy all over.
"Hmm...? Oh, Cath! Thank goodness! Help me here. I don't know how to get her to stap out of it. I have a feeling I could sit here for hours and tell her everything was going to be okay and it wouldn't help any. Hello Nariko sweetie. Hey there Garreth, eating well? Wait... Where's Aph?" He blinked a little surprised. Aph was always with Cath. Where did she go?

"She's right here", Catherine said quietly as she bent forward, setting Nariko down on the floor the moment she was near Jizzy and Salem. "... she's not doing so well." She said quetly, the answer was so obvious, why wasn't she thinking before?! Just like she told herself before... 'I'm looking for human answers.. for human problems.'. Typical of her.
Nariko gasped at the sight of what Cato did and gripped the bubble she held so dearly, tighter. "BAAH!" She screeched.
"Mama... Why is Auntie Jiji on the floor?" Garreth asked quietly, almost timidly as though not to wake her. "... Is she having a bad dream?" He asked looking over her shaking form.
'Smalls!'
Aphrodite blinked up at the noise. "Day?"

Deimos eyebrow wing arrched. He ate bugs? He's have to be careful with Aphrodite, but he called again anyways. "Smalls!" He cried out.
"I don't know anything.. why do you keep.. no.. spiders.." She was shaking more violently now, her eyes blank and expressionless. "get them off.." Her arms swung useless at her side, istead of swatting madly around her. "Help me.. spiders.. they're hurting me.."

Alright. It's good now. He swollowed, smiling. He was still kinda hungry, but that would do as a snack for now. Problem was that now he wanted to play. "Maaahhh!" He wiggled at Deimos happily flailing his arms. All six of them which included the small pair on his back.
"Do you have water on you? Maybe if we splash her with some she'll wake up? And what's wrong with Aph? I've taken care of lots of kids all shapes and sizes. I might know how to help. If I don't I can probably find out from someone el-ack!" He quickly backed off as Jizzy suddenly flailed. He was quite tough physically, but that didn't ,mean getting back handed by someone didn't hurt!

" Yes.. Yes I do. Garreth get the watter for Mama." Catherine said calmly.
Garreth nodded, ooh! Another job! He bounded for the wagon rummaging through the food and toys.
"Jizzy..." Catherine in a more serious tone. "I want you to follow my voice and listen. It's ok... You need to wake up Jizzy."
"Day!" Aphrodite perked up a bit from inside the bubble. The bubble was there for health reasons today, Catherine was afraid that she stop in midflight and drop for no reason and so magical bubble to the rescue.
Nariko waved over to Deimos, maybe he could help.

Deimos looked over at Cato and gave a sigh, picking the babe up. He felt liek a babysitter. He trod over to Nariko, avoiding looking at his mother in her weakened state.. "How are you feeling Smalls? Smalls's sis?"
Jizzy's shaking stopped a bit, her arms just limping at her sides. "Catherine? Catherine, get the spider's off me!" She said, her voice low but so full of fear. She was stuck somewhere in the middle between a memory and reality.

He sighed softly. Well at least Jizzy seemed to have come around a little more. That's good. He supposed it made sense. He had run into things like this when children didn't want comfort from him because they wanted their Mommys or Daddies. It made sense that she'd feel better as soon as someone closer to her and more familiar showed up. He still thought the splash of water might be a good idea though...
Yay! He was being carried again! He happily cuddled against Deimos, his four main arms wrapping themselves around the other mishap, the two smaller ones at his back tucking themselves against his back. He didn't know who all these people were, but that was okay, he wasn't so hungry anymore and her was being carried. He looked up at the bright red wings that jutted out of his forhead again. Oh yeah! "Heeheeeee!" And again he took hold of the nearest wing and pulled it down, more gently this time, and promptly stuck the tip in his mouth and started to suckle affectionatly on it. It was his pretty thing!

She took a deep breath. "Jizzy... I'll help you get rid of the spiders." she said as she mocked brushing off spiders from Jizzy's body, turning her head to see if Garreth had found the water yet.
He was finding everything but! Milk, juice, mangos, apples, chocolate, and toys. Everythign but bottle water like his mother had asked him to find. Stumped, he pushed more aside, finally finding it under Ed's butt. "Bad Ed! Hiding Mama's water." He said as he put the doll back down. Picking up the bottle with his mouth he made his way back towards Catherine. "Mama!" He mouthed around the bottle. "I founth its!"
Aphrodite admited that she felt a littl ebetter, but she just felt so tired and drained. Like she was running on low batteries. "Aff-di-ee kays." She saigh with a tiny yawn.
Nariko beamed up Deimos and then blinked at Cato, who was chewing on Deimos's brow-wing. *"Fwahbaaahwapple ski-chie waah." She said pointing up at him.
Catherine smiled nodding as she carefully took the bottle of water out of his mouth, setting it to the side in case it was nessasary.
* " Pwahh-streee bluuubububuu do."
Aphrodite giggled quietly at her sister's comments.
*= Translation
* " Excuse, I think you have a baby attached to your forehead"
* " I think you should remove it."

Jizzy's breathing became slightly slower, calmer and her arms came around so she was hugging herself tight. She didn't really register to the name Jizzy. It wasn't her real name, nor the name she went by when this memory happened, but the tone calmed her anyways. The real world was coming back to her slowly.. "Catherine? Salem?" She said, as thier figures finally became clearer before her eyes. "I but.. the spiders.. when I am?" She asked, yes when. WHat year was it?
Deimos rolled his eyes and began to wiggle his wing, pulling up upwards till it was out of Cato's reach. "That's mine, you know." He said, his tone low as he sat down by Nariko.
