The Doctor shuffled along awkwardly, his eyes mainly locked on the ground, but occasionally flitting up to Hikari and Yami. He steepled his fingers infront of him, with just the pointer fingers upright and pressing against his lips which were set in a frown.
When they finally reached the Chou home, Seveirn lifted his eyes from the ground and looked it over, reminded of his own home. With thoughts of home, came the thought of food and his stomach growled rather loudly. He needed to get back, since the trek would be rather hard to the boneyard in the dark. Hard.. and dangerous.

“As long as your happy Doctor I suppose that’s what matters.” she said slightly disappointed. Ok who was she kidding she was very disappointed, but she never changed herself for anyone and was sure she was willing to.
As he started talking about his work and his morals again, this time Ayira seemed to get it better, “I can understand that Doctor, just like I would not feel right not being who I have been for so long, trying to change myself, be it for the better or worse. I am not sure if what I have for my life is pride or just the need to want to actually live in this place, but then again Nekura, who said I even had a soul.” she said very serious now, and actually using his real name and not is title.
She leaned against the wall and gazed up at it, softly saying “So where does this leave us, handsome?”

Aaric He had spent much of the day rummaging about for the glass to replace the broken panes and the rest of it installing them. Sanding the wood had been the hardest, so much had chipped and splintered in the stranger’s exit. But now, now the window was prefect. With a last fond glance at his handy work, and a wince on account of his hands, Feyd took a step back. Loosing the heavy drapes to fall over the window once again he plunged the room into darkness cut only by the light of the candle on the crate beside him. Date: Day 3 of Summer Time: Late Evening (Midnight/Very Early Morning) Weather: Drizzling, warm, humidAs Feyd allowed the curtains to fall, Adlei slowly rose from behind a neighboring roof. She rested her chin in one hand, contemplating how much trouble she and Elliot had caused with their dramatic escape. To visit the actor or not?
"Elliot, you don't suppose the gentlman will be angry with us?" she asked. After the excitement of the morning, the rest of their day had been thankfully dull. She was even more relieved to see that their acquaintance was unharmed.
"Hmm? Why should he be?" Elliot's face was concealed by the shadow of his hood, though Adlei could sense that her companion's eyes were probably expressing confusion.
"That should be it then... We've done enough harm here, I think. Let's find a place to rest, at least for a few hours."

Yami stared out, looking at Hikari, and then looking at the mud puddles as they started to collect their drops, trying to hoard as much as possible, and thought...noticing how...her sister's eyes looked a bit...sad. "It's only now that I found out she was related to me...and she seems sort of uneasy about it....did I really do something wrong?" she thought as she ran inside, and having no mind to her shoes...since she had none in her possession, she ran straight to Hikari and bowed. "I'M SORRY" she blurted, the first thing that came to her mind. She was indeed confused, but she could only help but feel that it was most of her fault that the girl's face looked awkward.

Arishi Zasar shrugged his shoulders. “’Ve b’n on theh shores fer a while, ‘ve adjusted. A li’l.” He’d never taken much time to think about it that way. Not that he couldn’t go back and proficiently work his old job again. He was quite sure he could. Fixing his hat out of habit, he raised an eyebrow faintly. "It is rather late and all," Mercy chuckled as she sounded rather motherly at the moment. "So with this darkness comes out the scum of the city, and this is the place for them to come. I wonder where should the wandering wander?" She grinned at him as she tapped the last of the mud off, "There all clean, I'm sure that tap sound will be reconized again." She tapped her heel and the sound echoed through streets, though something like this brought her attention it was something usually that she wouldn't want that kind of attention drawn to her in late hours.

Hikari watched a tad confused as her sister apologized, but shook it off with a smile. "Its...alright... she assured her before gently psuhing her younger sister inside the house. "Go change into something warm Yami...and then get some rest...okay? Maybe it will help you...I'll be in in a second..."
With her sister inside she turned back to the doctor with a stern look. But slowly she offered him the best smile she could. "Thank you for your help today doctor...Have a good night..." And with that she gave him a small bow before turning to the house and walking in, not really waiting for a reply as she shut the door.
She instantly went to her room and changed out of the wet robe before putting on some drier clothes. The task done she pulled her short hair into a short pony tail before sliding into bed. Hoping her sister would go soon as well.

Dr. Oddssen opened his mouth for a repsonse, only the find the door closed in his face. There was no point in yelling a goodbye to the sisters, especially at this time of night, so he just turned and tried to get his bearrings on where he was. The dark was strong, unsettling, and it seemed to bear down on him, but he closed his eyes and collected himself before something peculiar happened.
Determined to get home safely, the Doctor slipped a small scalpel form up his sleeve and held it in his bitten hand, the shiny metal a warning to anyone who might attack.
Thankfully, Severin came home to his Tomb safely and carefully slipped inside. He had a few encounters with graveyard dogs, but only a few and he managed to scare them off with his size well enough. The dogs had begun to recognize his scent, the Doctor assumed, as they didn't seem to mess with him as much as others. He did feed them, so I guess they might have taken a slight liking to him.
Being the type that doesn't sleep, the cannibalistic man set about preparing some dinner from the small package he had brought over that morning. His stomach growled as he unwrapped the paper and revealed the soft, red meat inside. After he finished eating, he spent the rest of the night writing. Sleep never came easy to him.

The chamber echoed the sound of tapping on stone. A young girl, her face obscured by the hood of her cloak, stood expectantly within the doorway of the tomb. After a pause, she approached Doctor Oddssen, her steps cautious.Quote:  " I do apologize for intruding so late this evening, doctor," the Demon Artist said, her voice cold. " It is time for your appointment in the Velvet Room. We will expect you within the hour." Reaching inside her cloak, the girl drew out a scrap of paper with scribbled writing and offered it to the doctor. " You should have no difficulty finding us; it is a short walk from your home." The Demon Artist paused, and then added impatiently, " If somehow you should become lost, your subconscious will guide you to the Velvet Room. It is simply impossible for you not to find it now that we are calling for you.

The Doctor was hunched at a small desk, scribbling furiously with a feathered pen, but when he heard a voice his hand ceased it's frantic movement. He didn't turn, nor did he make any movement, his body remained ridgidly still, though he was listening. When the voice ceased, he breathed in a shallow breath and turned to see if what he was hearing was solid, or a hallucination.
His gut told him that the small girl was real, and the glimmer of memory of what Larry had mentioned arose in him. He forced the notion away and stood to accept the piece of paper, not saying a word. His eyes rested every, but the Demon Artist, and he seemed to breath a sigh of relief when the paper he held felt solid to the touch. So she was real.
"Velvet Room.." he echoed, testing the word on his own lips before looking at the girl. "I..I'll be there on time."

Quote:  " Excellent. We do hope you'll have a safe journey. You had better start now if you wish to be on time for your appointment, doctor," the Demon Artist remarked, looking about as though she was curious for the first time that the man inhabited a tomb. Then, without another word, she turned and disappeared through the doorway, her small figure swallowed by shadows.

Dr. Severin Oddssen stood enraptured for a few moments, his heart beating, what seemed to him, quite loudly against the Death Tarot in his jacket. He cast a look around his home in a similar manner to the Demon Artist, and thought on how appropriate the card was for him. Finally snapping back into reality, he became a flurry of movement before setting out to find the Velvet Room.
Standing under an alcove outside the tomb, he paused to look over the paper for the first time, and committed it to memory. He couldn't quite take it out in the night's rain, that would be a dreadful idea.
With his head resolutely down, the 'Good' doctor shuffled forward through the graveyard, his mind wandering elsewhere for who knew, how long. Before he could realize it, he had arrived at the mysterious Velvet room, and lifted his eyes to the door. He stood, transfixed, on the verge of a catatonic lapse, before shaking himself and opening the door to step inside....
"Hallo...?"

Zeejay With his head resolutely down, the 'Good' doctor shuffled forward through the graveyard, his mind wandering elsewhere for who knew, how long. Before he could realize it, he had arrived at the mysterious Velvet room, and lifted his eyes to the door. He stood, transfixed, on the verge of a catatonic lapse, before shaking himself and opening the door to step inside....
"Hallo...?" A thick darkness swelled within the building, blinding and deaf. However, a distant melody whispered from beyond, and grew until the music of the piano was within the same room. As the song became more clear, a soft, blue light illuminated the Velvet Room, tracing over the few objects within. Four individuals could be seen inside the single chamber. Two were engaged in the creation of music, weaving song and instrument to form a tragic melody. The girl who had visited Severin Oddssen was engaged in a painting, smearing colors across a faceless canvas. The fourth inhabitant was a man who appeared exhausted, reclined on a sofa with one paper in his hand. Igor "Ah, Doctor Oddssen, is that you?" the man on the couch asked, taking his pipe from his mouth as he spoke. "Very good of you to make such a late appointment. We're dreadfully sorry for calling you at such an hour, and in such horrid weather, too!"
The man shuffled through a stack of papers at his feet, and continued to speak, "My name is Igor, a servant of the being known as Philemon. We have been driven mad with work lately...with this unfortunate Sehket business, you know." Pulling a single piece of paper from the stack, Igor whispered, "Ah, here you are! Now...let's see..."
Taking a few puffs from his pipe, Igor turned his eyes to Severin. "Now, I was hoping you would know what this was all about, but judging from the way others have come today, I should think not. We have called you here because we need your help... Philemon absolutely requires your assistance in getting rid of this Sehket."

"Some'er safer, peh'aps?" if this was truely the target of the scum of the city, then surely it would be best to wander elsewhere. The sea captain smiled tiredly. "I don't leave me ship, 'r theh docks too of'n." with that, he was somewhat unfamiliar with the rest of the city.

The Doctor walked slowly in, his step hesitant, and his hand clasping and unclasping on his chest awkwardly. He looked around the room and frowned deeply, was he just imaning all of this? Had he fallen asleep? Or were his hallucinations getting worse? He focussed on breathing to calm his beating heart, and finally was ready enough to speak.
"Er.. H-hallo." He said, his voice shaking slightly. "Does this.. have something to do with those ..cards?"

I would say that it does have something to do with the Tarot Cards. The cards serve as payment to transport Persona between realms."
Leaning back against the couch, he added, "And yes, we will need that card of your's to summon your Persona into this world. We have already finished negotiations."
