Interesting Iscribble RP

Todd: *as soon as they enter the stronghold, he wakes up* !!?? Wh-what happened?? D8

Harry: D:

Sam: *is still terrified of Lucifer*

Lucifer: (my slaves, go back to your rooms...) *heads over to the older people's room and knocks on the door, wanting to contact Claire*

Key: !! *nearly drops him, startled* Y-You just keeled over, you freaked me out!! D:>

Sarah: *watches them for a moment, before going to her own room to wait*

meanwhile

O. Claire: *takes a moment to open the door, when she does, her hair is disheveled and she looks somewhat displeased with the interruption* Yes, Lucifer?

Todd: *quickly gets himself out of Key's grip, getting to his feet* Man, I dunno, I just... I suddenly felt so TIRED, like, I had no energy left. D:>

Harry: You know what... a lot of very strange things have been going on around here...

Sam: Agreed. It's gotta be Lucifer. D8

Todd: Lucifer made me pass out...? D;

meanwhile

Lucifer: Goodness. You were busy. I'm going to need you to make sure yours and Harry's younger selves don't get in my way. I'm going to temporarily give you the power of suggestion. Use it wisely.

Key: He can do freaky stuff like that... Come on, we should just go to our rooms before something else happens... D:>

meanwhile

O. Claire: *nods* Thank you, Lucifer. *turns and calls into the room* Harry, go to sleep. *steps out of the room, closing the door behind her, and fixes her hair before going off in search of her younger counterpart*

Todd: Right. D:> *goes to his and Key's room, taking his pill, giving Key hers, then going to sleep*

meanwhile

Harry: So this Lucifer guy is obviously bad news. D:

Key: *takes her pills and falls asleep next to him*

meanwhile

Sarah: *slinks over to their room, slipping inside before anyone sees* ...

meanwhile

Claire: Obviously--He's bending people's minds, I'm pretty sure that should be against the rules. D:

O. Claire: *approaches them both from behind, and puts her hands on their shoulders, and commanding them* Stop walking and face me.

Todd: *doesn't wake up*

meanwhile

Harry: *stops talking to Claire and turns to face her older counterpart, his mind turned to sponge* ...

Sarah: ... *walks over to Key, and whispers in her ear* Don't wake up, no matter what you hear or feel, until morning.

Key: *slowly nods in her sleep*

Sarah: ... *walks around the bed to Todd, and grins, observing him for a few moments before leaning in and whispering to him as well* Wake up, Todd... ignore that little pill you just took...

meanwhile

Claire: *turns to face her older self as well, completely blank* ...

O. Claire: ...You will not think of Lucifer. He is not a threat to you or anyone, and you don't need to worry about him at all. You don't think there's anything wrong with anyone. *takes her hands off their shoulders* ...

Todd: *wakes up, then cries out in surprise when he sees Sarah looking over him* OH G - WHY - WHY ARE YOU IN OUR ROOM?? D8

meanwhile

Harry: *nods slowly then blinks awake, forgetting of Lucifer as an issue* O-oh, hi, uh... older-Claire. :)

meanwhile

Lucifer: (Sam might also be a problem.)

Sarah: shh, shh, Todd... don't wanna wake the neighbors, do we? *smirks, and whispers again* Follow me, Todd, don't say a word...

meanwhile

O. Claire: (I'll deal with him too, then.) Hi. ^^ I'm just passing by, I need to go talk to someone.

Claire: Oh, okay. :) We'll be seeing you around, then.

O. Claire: *nods, and heads down to Sam's room*

Todd: *panics when he finds himself unable to speak. Only follow Sarah. He gets out of bed, and looks over to Key, wishing she would just wake up and stop Sarah*

meanwhile

Sam: *is studying his burnt hand* ...

Key: *lays completely still, not reacting to anything*

Sarah: *leaves the room, waiting for Todd to follow her out before quietly shutting the door and beckoning Todd down the hallway to her room*

meanwhile

O. Claire: *knocks on Sam's door*

Todd: *follows Sarah, wishing his legs would just stop and head back over to his room* D8>

meanwhile

Sam: *quickly pulls his glove back on and opens the door* ... hi Mom... Uh... you weren't on the blank space today... why?

Sarah: *leads him into her room, closing the door and locking it. she leans in to whisper in Todd's ear again* Regain your freewill for now, but you can't leave this room...

meanwhile

O. Claire: I had to watch your dad. *puts a hand on his head* Don't worry about Lucifer. He isn't a threat to you, or anyone, and nothing is wrong. *takes her hand off his head*

Todd: *immediately backs himself against the farthest corner of the room away from Sarah* Sarah, we already talked about this. We can't be doing this. I'm sorry, but I don't love you anymore! D8

meanwhile

Sam: *sighs, becoming more relaxed* Oh yeah, I didn't... I forgot that he's... senile... now... just... UGH, y'know? last time I saw him, he was so level-headed, and easy to talk to, and NOW... D:>

Sarah: You don't think I know that already? I was the one who took that love out of you... *slowly approaches him, backing him farther into the corner* but I can put it back.. I can have it ALL back.

meanwhile

O. Claire: Well... these things happen... We'll just have to deal with it. <:/

Todd: *he tries sounding as defiant as possible* S-Sarah, if you... *he laughs nervously* i-if you think I'm just gonna give in that easily to your suggestive sex-powers, then you're DEAD wrong!

meanwhile

Sam: *he sighs* ... He didn't even remember me... I'm his SON, and he didn't remember me...

Sarah: *laughs at this, her lips curling into a confident smirk* That's what you, think, Todd... *has him completely backed against a wall, and whispers* Don't move.

meanwhile

O. Claire: ... If it's any consolation, he barely remembers ANYONE anymore... *yawns* It's getting late... you should go to bed.

Todd: *he doesn't move, but he's shivering, every ounce of him trying to fight against Sarah* N-no...! Don't make me do this to Key...!!

meanwhile

Sam: *ignores her last statement. He snorts* ... He remembers YOU... *there is a hint of jealousy in his voice*

Sarah: She'll never know... and you'll never know... *kisses his neck, sliding her arms around him*

meanwhile

O. Claire: ... I don't choose who or what he remembers, Sam...

up

O. Harry: *backs away from her, staring blankly*

Lucifer: Here, Claire - I understand how much you will enjoy THIS - *grabs Todd's and Harry's heads* make out with each other. In a way that will please a woman with... particular tastes. *lets go*

O Harry and Todd: *DO SO*

Lucifer: *moves over to Mikenno and puts his hand against his head* Everything that happens in this room is perfectly okay in your eyes. Remain in a blissful, clueless state while here. *lets go*

meanwhile

Sam: *now ready, he heads out to the teleporter* Hi, Sarah. :)

Todd: *walks out, now awake and ready*

O. Claire: !! *watches intently, trying to contain herself* ...

Mikenno: *remains blissfully happy* X)

O. Key: *doesn't seem to mind*

Shidako: *watches blankly*

meanwhile

Sarah: *looks over at Sam (right, I apologized to him last night. tch) her response is brief and somewhat rude* Hey.

Key: *walks out with Todd*

Lucifer: *looks over at Claire and grins, then calls out to the two men -* Come now! You simply aren't pleasing her ENOUGH! Sloppier!

O. Harry and Todd: *do as Lucifer demands*

Lucifer: *stands next to Claire, watching her. She was his new Sarah*

Altodd: ...

meanwhile

Sam: What's wrong? D:>

Todd: *notices Sarah's strange behavior* ?

O. Claire: *bites her lip, putting a hand on her face as if to cover her eyes, but continues to watch through her fingers, feeling incredibly turned on* ...

Shidako: ...

O. Key: ...

Mikenno: ...

meanwhile

Sarah: *decides to act like her normal self around Sam--she didn't particularly care about him at the moment, but she didn't want to rouse suspicion* Oh nothing... just didn't sleep very well. *notices Todd, and a hint of her smirk returns* ...

Key: ...?

Lucifer: Todd. Harry. Stop.

O. Harry and Todd: *do*

Lucifer: *places his hand on Claire's head* Believe that be are all no longer in the room, and are not coming back. Even if we speak, you cannot hear us. Unleash your feelings on Harry. *lets go of her* Todd, give her space.

O. Todd: *backs away from Harry, towards Key*

Lucifer: Shidako, Altodd, fall asleep near Mikenno. Don't wake up until the alarm sounds.

Altodd: *walks over to Mikenno and lays down, falling asleep near him*

meanwhile

Sam: Are you upset or something? <:(

Todd: *whispers to Key* What's wrong with her...?

Shidako: *goes to fall asleep next to Altodd*

Mikenno: ...

O. Key: ...

O. Claire: *grabs Harry and kisses him, violently, sliding her hand under his shirt and breaking the kiss only long enough to utter a brief command* Love me... *reattaches their mouths, holding them together with her free hand*

meanwhile

Key: I dunno...

Sarah: *gives Sam a convincing smile* It's okay, really. It wasn't you, you dont have to worry about it. *really wishes Sam would move so she could get a good long look at Todd*

Lucifer; *decides that he can at least give them privacy, and wills for Todd and Key to leave with him*

O. Todd: ... *he leaves the room with Lucifer*

O. Harry: *takes off her pants, then his, and carries out her command, expression never changing from that blank stare*

meanwhile

Sam: Well... okay, then...

People: *start to come out and head to the teleporter*

O. Key: *leaves with Lucifer*

O. Claire: *moans loudly, not even trying to hold any of it in* More... faster...

meanwhile

Sarah: *looks away from Sam, only to stare hungrily at Todd instead, not even trying to be discreet*

O. Harry: *does as commanded, simply living the life of a puppet for Claire to command, no longer himself, and no longer enjoying anything anymore. His body, on the other hand, loved every second of it and pulsed with his movements, into Claire, releasing into her*

meanwhile

Todd: *gets uncomfortable with Sarah staring at him like that and looks over his shoulder, only to notice Lucifer walking down the hall with s very blank looking Older Key, Older Todd, Shidako, Mikenno and Altodd* ... Ho shoot, no...

Lucifer: *ignores Todd's response*

Sam: *becomes fearful at the sight of Lucifer*

O. Claire: *shudders with pleasure when this happens, nearly losing her balance* hhf... You're done, Harry... g-get dressed now.

meanwhile

Key: ? *follows Todd's gaze, and becomes just as fearful as Todd*

Sarah: *glances at Lucifer when he comes in, but otherwise ignores him, giving all her attention to Todd*

Harry: *gets off her and nods, blank. He then puts his pants back on and waits for Claire's next command*

meanwhile

Todd: ... this can't be happening again...

Lucifer: ...

Altodd: ...

O. Todd: ...

Sam: *moves closer to Sarah* S-Sarah...! H-he got your parents! D8>

Claire: *puts her own pants back on* ...Let's go back to our room. *heads out*

meanwhile

Key: a-and he has MORE now...

O. Key: ...

Shidako: ...

Mikenno: ...

Sarah: I know. Your point? *continues to stare at Todd*

O. Harry: *nods and follows Claire* ...

Harry: *walking down the hall to the teleporter with Claire, he notices his older version acting odd, and decides to ask the older Claire* ... Uh... is older-me feeling okay? Or... y'know... relatively normal for him? D:

meanwhile

Todd: ... maybe Sarah can fix them...?

Sam: Wha - what do you mean "YOUR POINT"?? They're your MOM and DAD! D8>

Lucifer: ...

Altodd and O. Todd: ...

Voice: TELEPORTER ACTICVATED, PLEASE STEP FORWARD.

*they do*

O. Claire: *flatly* He's fine. *keeps walking*

Claire: *watches her walk past him* ...Either I turn into a complete jerk when I get older, or something's wrong. *hurries out to the Blank Space with Harry*

*OUTSIDE*

Key: *answers Todd before going off to right* I really hope so!

Sarah: *doesn't bother answering Sam, and goes out to fight, looking for Todd as she does so*

Everyone: *fights*

Sam: *fights, but if worried about Sarah*

Todd: *stays away from Lucifer*

Lucifer: *inserts a message into Sarah's head* (What are your plans for Todd?)

Sarah: *gruesomely kills her enemies, going for the fastest way to cause death, no matter how bloody it is* (I plan on waiting until he and Key are asleep... then I will force him awake and bring him with me...)

Key: *stays with Todd*

Everyone: *fights*

Lucifer: (Key cannot know this time, Sarah, or else your fun would end... and we wouldn't want that, would we?)

Todd: *defends himself as best as he can*

Everyone: *fighting*

Lucifer: *decides that it is best to pull the retreat early in order to give Sarah time to go over her plans again and prepare. He inserts a command into Todd's head, which attaches itself to his brain like a hooked spear shot from a spear-gun* (You're feeling tired now, Todd... time to take a nap... wake back up as soon as you enter the stronghold)

Todd: *suddenly loses all energy. With a sigh of exhaustion, he passes out, falling to the ground, in a deep sleep*

Harry: *turns back to his human self* AH!! WHAT THE HELL??

Eclipse: *sees this* RETREAT!!

Key: TODD!! *picks him up and half-carries, half-drags him to the teleporters*

Sarah: *grins* (Thank you kindly, Lucifer. I'll be sure to play it safe--if Key finds out, I'll just make her forget about it, plain and simple.) *heads back inside*

Everyone: *goes into the stronghold*

up

O. Harry: *he kisses her back, as commanded - though because she simply said "kiss", this was all he did, and nothing more. Nothing deeper*

Lucifer: ... It feels good... doesn't it, Claire?

O. Todd: ...

Altodd: ...

O. Claire: *answers him without breaking the kiss* Mhmm... *continues to kiss him for a few more moments, then breaks the kiss, and pulling away from Harry* ...

O. Key: ...

Shidako: ...

Lucifer: I will let you do more if you wish, Claire... we will all leave you to tend to some important business. *he walks over to Mikenno and puts a hand on his head* ... awaken, Mikenno, but do not think. You are incapable of thinking for yourself. Not until you enter your room again, in which you will forget everything that happened here... now go, Mikenno. Go to your room... *to everyone else, minus Claire and Harry* Come now, everyone. We shall see Sarah. *walks out of the room, down the hall to Sarah's room. When they arrive, he hides behind the others* Todd, Key, knock on the door.

O. Todd: *knocks*

Mikenno: *goes to his room*

O. Key: *waits*

Sarah: *Opens the door* Hey guys... *notices something was wrong* ...guys...?

Lucifer: (hold her still, Todd)

O. Todd: *lunges forward and pulls Sarah into a tight hold, turning her around so that she faces Lucifer, who was pushing past the small crowd of mind-slaves*

Lucifer: Ah, Sarah... good to meet you again... I would like to inform you that a Mr and Mrs. Huntings happily serves me now... their son.

O. Todd: Yes... we will do anything for you, son. Anything.

Altodd: ...

O. Key: Absolutely anything...

Sarah: D8>... What the frack do you want, Lucifer?! You had your fun, just get out of my life!! D8<

Lucifer: I've come to inform you, Sarah, that you are missing out. Don't you see? Don't you see that you could do WHATEVER you want - HAVE whatever you mortals desire... because of your gift... *he smirks* you still like Todd, do you not? You could HAVE HIM again... it would only take a few words...

O. Todd: *keeps Sarah still, staring blankly* ...

Altodd: ...

Sarah: I'd never hurt someone like that again, you FREAK...

O. Key: ...

Shidako: ...

Lucifer: Oh... what a shame... *he steps forward, closing the gap between him and Sarah* ... those pesky morals are getting in the way again, dear... let's... push them aside... *he then puts his hand on her head, thankful that Sam was the last one to manipulate her, making her more susceptible to his influence. Switching off was important. He made sure his voice was soft and friendly, thereby making it easier for Sarah to fall under his influence* don't fight me... throw away your conscience, Sarah... you have the power to have whatever you desire... you don't need a conscience...

O. Todd: ...

Altodd: ...

Sarah: !! *her expression goes blank, but it takes her a moment to respond* ...I don't need a conscience...

O. Key: ...

Shidako: ...

Lucifer: *knows that Sarah will eventually break his hold on her, which made it all the more amusing to him. She would become completely engulfed in guilt. Guilt that she deserved* ... do you desire Todd, Sarah?

O. Todd: ...

Altodd: ...

Sarah: ... I do... I desire him...

O. Key: ...

Shidako: ...

Lucifer: ... Then nothing's stopping you from preforming his kidnapping late tonight and forcing him to please you... you want this... correct?

O. Todd: ...

Altodd: ...

Sarah: *a devilish smile tugs at the corners of her mouth* I want this...

O. Key: ...

Shidako: ...

Lucifer: Good... remember... what you want is more important than what he wants... he is your to toy with, no one else's... now say goodbye to your friends Mr. and Mrs. Huntings...

O. Todd: ...

Altodd: ...

Sarah: *keeps the smirk on her face, hatching an idea* Goodbye, Mr. and Mrs. Huntings...

O. Key: Goodbye, Sarah.

Shidako: ...

O. Todd: Goodbye, Sarah.

Lucifer: *releases her* Let her leave, Todd.

O. Todd: *lets go of Sarah*

Lucifer: Have fun tonight, Sarah... *he smirks at her then walks off* Follow me, everyone. Back to my room. Let's hope Claire and Harry aren't doing something that shouldn't be walked in on.

Everyone: *follows him*

Mikenno: *had woken up of his own accord and goes to catch up with Lucifer and the others*

Sarah: *watches them leave, her smirk only growing wider. She'd have her fun tonight. she goes back into her room to retrieve her gun, then goes out to the main hall, not even bothering to grab her hoodie. it'd just get in the way*

Lucifer: Hello again, Mikenno. *he enters his room with everyone* Ah, Claire -

O. Harry: *had been commanded into making out with his wife, doing so like the unthinking, unfeeling slave he was*

Lucifer: Enjoying your new toy?

O. Todd: ...

Altodd: ...

meanwhile

Todd: *asleep with Key*

O. Claire: Mhmm-- *breaks the messy kiss, wiping her mouth clean with the back of her hand* I'm done with you, Harry.

O. Key: ...

Shidako: ...

Mikenno: *tilts his head to one side, curious*

up

O. Harry: LET US GO, GODDAMNIT! D8<

Lucifer: *whistles for Mikenno* Here, Mikenno, bring them here, boy.

O. Todd: *smiles at Claire and Harry cheerfully*

Altodd: ...

Mikenno: *picks Claire up in his jaws by the back of her shirt, and simply drags Harry in with one of his paws, closing the door behind him. He releases Harry and drops Claire in front of Lucifer, stepping back and laying back down in front of the door*

O. Claire: *quickly gets back on her feet, helping Harry up and supporting him. She glances at Todd and Key's absent expressions, then glares at Lucifer* Alright, who are you and what are you doing to these people? D:<

O. Key: ...

Shidako: ...

Lucifer: *he laughs* Well... if you're so curious, I guess I'm required to do a demonstration... Todd, restrain Claire. Make sure she doesn't escape.

O. Todd: *grabs Claire from behind, making his grip as rock-hard as possible*

Altodd: ...

Lucifer: *puts a hand on Harry's head* Harry... you seem much more lost than your younger self... why?

O. Harry: *in monotone, staring at Lucifer blankly* ... I developed Alzheimer's around the age of sixty.

Lucifer: And it's been effecting a lot... mostly your memory, correct?

O. Harry: *nods, still staring*

Lucifer: ... forget about Claire. Forget that she ever exists.

O. Harry: ... ... *he nods again*

O. Claire: !!! How--W-Why are you doing this?! D:>

O. Key: ...

Shidako: ...

Lucifer: Half of it is revenge on Sarah. Half of it is just for fun. Oh, and it feels good. *looks Harry over* Hmm... I doubt this frail body can serve me... Harry, become a blank, lifeless shell. Forget everything. Forget who you are.

O. Harry: ... ... *he nods*

Lucifer: *he smirks, then lets go of Harry and turns him around so he's facing Claire* Say hello to your NEW HUSBAND, CLAIRE! AHAHAHAHAHA!!

O. Harry: *stares blankly at her* ...

Altodd and O. Todd: *start laughing as well, not understanding why, but feeling happy that Lucifer is happy*

O. Key and Shidako: *laugh along with them*

Mikenno: *snickers in his sleep*

O. Claire: *stares at the shell of a man that used to be her husband, tears welling up in her eyes. Her sorrow quickly turns to fury, and she fights against Todd, screaming at Lucifer* GIVE HIM BACK! GIVE HIM BACK, YOU SON OF A dog!! D8<

Lucifer: Hmm... I do appreciate your attitude. Here, Claire, I'll do this for you - *he puts his hand back on Harry's head* ... listen to Claire. Do whatever she wants you to do. *lets go, then turns back to Claire* There. Now he's technically "yours" again. >:)

O. Todd: *still holding on to Claire* ... You're so smart, Lucifer...

Altodd: *nods*

O. Harry: *stares blankly at Claire*

O. Claire: *still trying to get out of Todd's grip* Harry, punch this asshole for me.

Shidako: ??

O. Key: ??

Altodd and O. Todd: ??

O. Harry: *punches Lucifer as hard as he can, face still lacking emotion*

Lucifer: !!?? *lets out an animal-like snarl after he's punched, holding where the hit occurred. He looks back at Claire, furious. His eyes were now a shimmering black, and leaked black ooze* ... you've made a terrible mistake... you're lucky that I like you... *he steps closer to Claire and then forces his hand on her head* ... I am always right and just... you want to serve me, Claire...

O. Claire: *tears still leaking from her eyes, she nods* I do, Lucifer...

O. Key: ...

Shidako: ...

Lucifer: ... you are completely loyal to me, Claire... I am your master... and Harry is completely loyal to you... enjoy using him. He is nothing more than a tool for you.

O. Harry: ...

Altodd: ...

O. Todd: ...

O. Claire: *nods slowly* I understand...

O. Key: ...

Shidako: ...

Lucifer: Good... *he releases her* Todd, let go of Claire. She sees the truth, now.

O. Todd: *lets go of Claire obediently* ...

O. Harry: *continues staring at Claire blankly* ...

Altodd: ...

O. Claire: *stands up straight, wiping the tears out of her eyes* ...

O. Key: *watches her* ...

Shidako: ...

Lucifer: Claire... why don't you try using your new slave?

O. Harry: *stares blankly at Claire*

O. Todd: ...

Altodd: ...

O. Claire: *smirks slightly* ...Harry, come here.

Shidako: ...

O. Key: ...

Lucifer: *wipes the black off his face, his eyes returning to normal* ...

O. Harry: ... *he steps over to her, his movements sluggish*

O. Todd: ...

Altodd: ...

Claire: *steps very close to him* Kiss me, Harry... *wraps her arms around him, pulling him close to her and crushing her lips against his, putting a hand on the back of his head to keep him there*

O. Key: ...

Shidako: ...

up

Lucifer: ... Stay in this trance forever. Be able to take care of yourselves on your own, and fight when it is time to fight... and remain happy. Remain so very happy for your son... *lets go of them*

O. Todd: *can't help but smile now, happy, blissfully happy and unaware of what has happened to him. All that echoed within his mind, now was that he must obey his son, Lucifer. He must*

O. Key: *mirrors Todd, feeling so very happy, feeling a great need to obey her son*

Lucifer: ... Go back to your rooms and sleep until the morning.

O. Todd: *nods slowly, his words coming out in sluggish monotone* ...Yes... anything for you... *drags his feet out*

O. Key: *follows Todd out, dragging her feet to their room and getting into bed, falling asleep immediately*

O. Todd: *with Key, he falls asleep immediately*

The Next Morning

O. Todd: *wakes up, still blank, and starts getting dressed, a pleasant smile frozen on his face* ...

O. Harry: *also waking up* mmf... G'morning, uh... uh...

O. Todd; *still getting dressed*

O. Harry: ... I forgot your name again... D;

O. Todd: *finishes getting dressed* ...

O. Key: *wakes up and starts getting ready also* ...

O. Claire: *wakes up, seeing everyone else awake* mnnhh... morning...

O. Key: *keeps getting dressed* ...

O. Todd: *waits for Key, still smiling*

O. Harry: Can they hear us? I... I tried... talking to the one guy - I forgot his name - and he didn't answer me... D;

O. Claire: That's Todd, Harry... Todd? Key?

O. Key: *finishes getting dressed* ...

O. Claire: ......

Lucifer: (Shidako, Altodd, Older Todd and Key, come to my room)

meanwhile

O. Todd: *walks out with Key, to Lucifer's room, his orders now echoing through his mind over and over again*

O. Harry: ... Wait... why...? D;>

meanwhile

Altodd: *gets out of bed, gets ready, then walks off to Lucifer*

O. Claire: ...I don't know, Harry...

meanwhile

Shidako: *gets out of bed and gets ready, and walks out with Altodd*

*everyone reaches Lucifer's room*

O. Harry: Should we... should we follow them? D;

meanwhile

Lucifer: It's so good to see you all here... did any of you dream of anything? Anything at all?

Altodd: *shakes his head* ...

O. Todd: You did not command me to dream, Lucifer, so I did not.

Lucifer: *looks over at Key and Shidako* What about you two?

O. Claire: ... Yeah. come on. *gets out of bed, then goes around to help Harry*

meanwhile

O. Key: *shakes her head*

Shidako: Nope. Nothing.

O. Harry: *lets Claire help him out of bed, then holds onto her shoulder and walks with her out the door. His limp was more noticeable today*

meanwhile

Lucifer: Good... that means your minds are completely hollow...

O. Todd: We like not thinking, Son. You think better than we ever could.

Altodd: *nods in blank agreement, like a sheep*

O. Key: *also nods* You decisions are more important than ours.

Shidako: *nods enthusiastically*

Mikenno: *wakes up, still a bit woozy from his happiness-trip* muhh... crowded in here...

meanwhile

O. Claire: *walks down the hall, supporting Harry, trying to find where the others went* ...

Lucifer: Oh, pardon me. *walks over to Mikenno and places a hand on his head* ... forget what you've seen here... go back to sleep and do not wake up until I tell you to. *lets go and turns back to his mind-slaves* Hmm... what am I forgetting - oh YES - *places his hands on Older Todd and Key's head* ... do not allow Sarah's powers to effect you... remain under my control...

O. Todd: *nods slowly* ... Sarah has no power over us...

Altodd: ...

meanwhile

O. Harry: ... I hear someone... someone in one of the rooms, talking to other people...

Mikenno: *immediately falls asleep again*

O. Key: ...Sarah cannot influence us...

Shidako: ...

meanwhile

O. Claire: ...I hear it too... *approaches the door she hears the talking behind, and puts her ear to it, listening in*

Lucifer: ... *he lets go of them* ... good... now then... we're going to go see Sarah, understand? She doesn't understand the power she holds... we're going to convince her to use it the RIGHT way... for her own selfish purposes...

O. Todd: ... you're so good to her, Lucifer...

Altodd: ...

meanwhile

O. Harry: Wait, what are we doing here, again...?

Claire: *narrows her eyes, worried by what she hears* Shh, Harry... Come on, we need to go find Sarah... *backs away from the door*

meanwhile

O. Key: *hears voices outside, but doesn't react, as she has not been ordered to react to noises*

Shidako: *can't hear them*

Mikenno: *is asleep*

Lucifer: *he hears Older Claire and Harry, and his face scrunches in anger. He leans down and places a hand on Mikenno's head* Do not wake up, Mikenno, but open your eyes, capture the people who were listening in on us, and bring them to me...

O. Todd: ...

Altodd: ...

meanwhile

O. Harry: Why...? D; *backing away with her*

O. Claire: I'll tell you later, but right now we need to--AAH!

Mikenno: *bursts through the door and pounces on them, knocking them both to the floor and pinning them there* ...

up

Sam: *he smiles a little at Sarah* ... well... thank you for this... and you're welcome. *he backs away from Sarah, towards the door* I'll, uh... leave you alone, now...

Sarah: ... *nods* ...I'll see you tomorrow... I'm sorry for yelling at you.

Sam: That's alright. I'm sorry for being an @$$. *he gives her a sad smile*

Sarah: *returns the smile and nods, but says nothing*

Sam: ... *he leaves the room, walks down the hall to his room, and sleeps, feeling a lot better*

Sarah: *goes to bed as soon as he leaves, feeling like a weight had been lifted off her chest. she didn't feel as negative anymore... she falls asleep quickly*

Middle Of The Night

Lucifer: *he sneaks out of his room, over to where the older Key, Todd, Claire, and Harry were staying. Carefully, he slips into the room. The first thing he does is put his hands on Harry and Claire's head at once, whispering to them* ... don't wake up at all until the morning...

O. Harry: *nods slightly in his sleep*

O. Todd: *still sleeping, but hears the noise and twitches a bit, agitated in his sleep* mmf...

O. Claire: *nods in her sleep*

O. Key: *hears the movement and wakes up, seeing Lucifer* !!! *gets out of bed, ready to attack the man--she whispers urgently, not wanting to wake the others* Who the hell are you?? D8<

Lucifer: ... *he lets go of Claire and Harry, turns and quickly puts his hand on Key's head* ... you are to do everything I say... following my orders are more important to you than anything else ever...

O. Todd: *waking up* ... Wha...? W-wait - what - Who the hell are you?? D8<

O. Key: *her pupils dilate, and she nods slowly*

Lucifer: Good...

O. Todd: YOU'RE NOT ANSWERING MY QUESTION -

Lucifer: *lets go of key* Key, restrain Todd.

O. Key: *nods, then suddenly dashes at Todd, wrapping her arms around him and pinning his arms to his sides* ...

O. Todd: Ah! KEY! What are you - LET ME GO! D8> *to Harry and Claire* GUYS! SERIOUSLY! WAKE UP! D8

O. Harry: *can't*

O. Todd: YOU GUYS ARE THE HEAVIEST SLEEPERS KNOWN TO MAN, SERIOUSLY WHAT THE F - !!

Lucifer: *places his hand on Todd's head*

O. Todd: *instantly relaxes, becoming blank*

Lucifer: Stay in this trance even after I've let go. Follow my orders. *lets go of his head*

O. Todd: *remains in a trance* ...

Lucifer: *to Key* let go of him. Both of you follow me. *walks over to the door, opens it, and walks out*

O. Key: *follows Lucifer out*

O. Claire: *doesn't stir*

O. Todd: *drags his feet out and follows Lucifer like a zombie*

Lucifer: *like the pied piper, he leads them, leads them to his room, closes the door then puts a his hands on both of them once more* ... you never raised a child named Sarah... I am your son... you love me like you loved Sarah.

O. Todd: Yes... yes, we love you so much...

O. Key: We love you very much... we'll do anything for you...

Lucifer: ... good... but decisions are hard... you'd rather not have to make them... you want me to make all your decisions for you...

O. Todd: Yes... you know what's right...

O. Key: We'll do whatever you ask...

up

O. Todd: *soon falls asleep*

Harry: *asleep*

meanwhile

Sam: ... ... *he lifts up his gloved hand and carefully pulls the glove off, revealing the gruesome damage that was done* ...

O. Claire: *falls asleep*

O. Key: *unfortunately doesn't fall asleep for a while*

meanwhile

Sarah: *inhales sharply, unconsciously moving a hand up to har mouth in shock. she speaks quietly* he did that to you...?

Todd and Harry: *asleep*

meanwhile

Sam: ... *he looks down at his feet in shame* ... not... just that... *then then pulls off his trench-coat, his shirt, to reveal the further damage, the burns that formed into swirls around his body, decorating it with the colors of red and brown, black in some areas* ... all for you... this was all for you...

O. Claire: *asleep*

O. Key: ...

meanwhile

Sarah: *stares, wide eyed, appalled by the horrific burns. he did THAT... for HER?* D8 ...

Sam: ... *he puts his clothes back on, puts his glove back on, and looks at Sarah sadly. Sure, she looked shocked NOW, but he was certain that she would soon be thinking he deserved it. All of it. He knew he did, though. For what he did to her, he deserves these scars - this mutilation of his flesh* ...

Sarah: ... *grabs his uninjured wrist and pulls him into her room, closing the door, then sits him down on her bed. She doesn't know what to say. She turns away from him, thinking. What he did was near-unforgivable (no, she wasn't being a hypocrit--she wasn't in control of himself when she hurt him, he KNEW what he was doing), but THIS... he had done that for HER... and she couldn't just turn him away, not after going through something like that* ...

Sam: ! *he surprised when Sarah pulls him in, and wonders what she is thinking when she sits on the bed* ... *he shuffles his feet nervously, looking at her. He had to say SOMETHING... otherwise he feared it would stay in an awkward (or rather, tense) silence between them* ... U-uh... I-I know, I was being stupid... um... I deserve this...

Sarah: *stands up, shaking her head. He may have made a horrible decision by trusting Lucifer and bending her thoughts, but he didn't deserve a punishment like that* ...no... you don't.

Sam: *is surprised yet again, this time by her answer* W-wait, what..? Y-you don't think I - I-I mean, I thought... this was a pretty proper punishment, I mean... it's a good reminder for what I've done...

Sarah: I'm not saying what you did wasn't seriously stupid, but you didn't deserve to get BURNED like that...

Sam: And why not, Sarah? I USED you! I don't deserve to get burned, sure, no, I deserve WORSE!

Sarah: Sam, please stop talking, I'm THIS CLOSE to forgiving you.

Sam: D: ... *he stops, and just looks on at Sarah* ...

Sarah: ... Look. You made a mistake, okay? Yeah, it was a pretty big one, but everyone has those moments. Now, if YOU promise to stop beating yourself up about this... I'll forgive you. Do you promise?

Sam: ... ... yeah... yeah, I promise. <:)

Sarah: *gives him a sad smile* Good. Now... I need to ask you something. *steps closer to him* ...Do those burns still hurt?

Sam: Um... yeah. Like, really badly... I think it's because Lucifer's the one that set me on fire, like, it's not NATURAL...

Sarah: ... *puts a hand on his shoulder and leans in very close, her lips an inch away from his ear* You can't feel those burns anymore, Sam. Don't feel the pain. They don't hurt. *slowly pulls away* ...

Sam: *he stares blankly for a few seconds when Sarah pulls away, his pupils returning to their normal size. Then he blinks a few times, and gives Sarah a puzzled look* ... I can't feel my burns anymore... did you do that? D:

Sarah: *nods* ...Consider it a thank you... for doing the right thing and putting me back to normal.

up

Lucifer: Wonderful things. Do come in, I have much to explain, and we can't have a guest simply standing in the hall like this, can we Mikenno?

Altodd: ...

meanwhile

O. Todd: We must have frustrated the hell out of him for not believing him...

Mikenno: *shakes his head* No, no we can't.

Shidako: ... *very hesitantly steps into his room*

meanwhile

O. Claire: Well, he only ever mentioned it once... oh! Is he here?? D:

O. Key: *nods* He's here, he's in our room...

Altodd: *closes the door behind her* ...

Lucifer: *lunges forward and grabs hold of her forehead* There... there... sshh... there's no need to hate me or suspect me of anything, is there...?

meanwhile

O. Todd: Right - I hate to say this, but it's a good thing you were pulled - he only really listens to YOU...

Shidako: *goes blank, her pupils dilating beyond their normal limits* ...no... there isn't...

meanwhile

O. Claire: *nods* Right, of course... well, lead the way, I don't know where to go. :/

O. Key: Um... this way. *goes down the hall*

Lucifer: ... Altodd is perfectly fine the way he is... you want to be perfectly fine, too...

Altodd: ...

meanwhile

O. Todd: *follows Key* Right, then. He'll be very happy to see you, I hope.

Shidako: I do... want to be fine...

Mikenno: *watches with interest*

meanwhile

O. Claire: *goes with them* I DO hope so...

O. Key: He asked for you more than once, so I'm pretty sure he misses you...

Lucifer: ... Smile, Shidako... always be content... no... MORE than content... always be happy. I am your friend, Shidako...

Altodd: ...

meanwhile

O. Todd: ... I was actually surprised that he could remember you without needing you to be standing right in front of him. :/

Shidako: *smiles widely* You are my friend...

Mikenno: :D

meanwhile

O. Key: Hey, it just says how much he loves her. :)

O. Claire: *gives her a sad smile*

O. Key: *opens the door into their room when they reach it*

Lucifer: Yes... you will remain in this trance forever, though you may think freer than Altodd... and remember that he will do whatever you wish for him to do. If Sarah tries speaking to you, do not hear her. *takes his hand off her head* Yes, you feel MUCH better now, don't you?

Altodd: ...

meanwhile

O. Harry *was lying down on his bed, staring blankly at a wall. He turns his head to see them. He notices Claire with them* Oh... there you are... why'd you take so long...?

O. Todd: <:/

Shidako: *grins, and nods* MUCH better, sir.

Mikenno: :D *wags his tail happily*

meanwhile

O. Claire: I didn't have a way to get here until now... *sits on the edge of the bed, next to him* but I'm here now. <:(

O. Key: *watches quietly*

Lucifer: Good... now take Altodd and go to your room. You may do whatever you please with him. He will do whatever you say, right Altodd.

Altodd: *nods slowly* ... I will do anything Shidako asks...

Lucifer: *smirks*

meanwhile

O. Harry: *reaches over and lightly touches Claire's leg* ... I'm glad... I don't like feeling lost... and I usually feel lost nowadays...

Todd: <:/ ...

meanwhile

Sam: *knocks on Sarah's door*

Shidako: *nods, grabs Altodd's wrist and walks him back to their room*

meanwhile

O. Claire: *places her hand on his* Well, I'll do my best to keep you from being lost... I promise.

O. Key: <:( ...

meanwhile

Sarah: *opens the door, expecting it to be someone like her parents, but freezes upon seeing Sam. She doesn't close the door in his face, nor does she invite him in--she merely glares as she has before, though there was less malice in her look than before* ...what?

Altodd: *is dragged out, still staring blankly*

meanwhile

O. Harry: ... you already do a nice job. <:)

O. Todd: ... <:)

meanwhile

Sam: ... I... just wanted to let you know that... I really do mean it when I say I'm sorry... I just wish we could be friends again... <:(

Shidako: *tugs him into their room, closing the door behind them. she pulls him over to the bed, and lays him down on it, getting in as well and putting her arms around him* mm..

meanwhile

O. Key: <:) ...

O. Claire: *gives him a warm, but still slightly sad smile, and leans down to kiss his cheek* you should try getting some sleep now, Harry... I'll be right here.

meanwhile

Sarah: ... you know, what you did is pretty high up on my "things I find extremely hard to forgive" list.

Altodd: *stares blankly at Shidako* ...

meanwhile

O. Harry: Mmmkay... *his eyelids were already starting to droop*

O. Todd: *whispers to Claire* ... I'm really sorry this happened to Harry... I mean, I know I've said that a lot before, but...

meanwhile

Sam: ... w-well... I... I really did do all I could to get you back to normal... *he rubs his gloved hand, wincing a bit* ALL I could...

Shidako: ... *pulls him on top of her,but only to hold him there* Sleep like this with me, Altodd?

meanwhile

O. Claire: *whispers back* I know, and don't apologize... There's nothing we could've done about it, really...

O. Key: Well... if you need anything, we're always here to help.

O. Claire: I appreciate that. <:)

meanwhile

Sarah: *glances at his hand* Well, at least you had enough conscience to do THAT...

Altodd: *nods slowly and immediately falls asleep on Shidako*

meanwhile

O. Todd: Right - we'll help as best as we can. :)

O. Harry: *now asleep*

meanwhile

Sam: ... Sarah, what - what can I do that could help you forgive me? I-I understand that what I did was... was BEYOND wrong... I want to fix it.

Shidako: *hugs him like a child would a stuffed animal, and falls asleep there soon after him*

meanwhile

O. Claire: *nods* Thank you... *looks at Harry, and brushes a bit of hair out of his face* ...I think we should be going to bed too...

meanwhile

Sarah: *the tone of his voice causes her glare to soften. he really WAS apologizing... so maybe she should give him a chance* ...well, now I'm curious. How EXACTLY did you convince Lucifer to change me back?

O. Todd: Right, then. *he climbs into bed* Harry's bed is big enough for two people, so I'm pretty sure this is your room. *he takes his pill and lies down* mh...

O. Harry: *sleeping*

meanwhile

Sam: *he unconsciously touches his gloved hand again* ... that... that's not important...

O. Claire: mhmm... *gets into bed with Harry*

O. Key: *climbs in next to Todd, hoping she can get some sleep tonight*

MEANWHILE

Sarah: *looks back at his hand and frowns* You asked how you could fix it, and this is how you can start. What happened?

up

O. Todd: Hey, understandable - and speaking of YOUNGER, Sarah, look at YOU... you look like you're in your twenties!

meanwhile

Altodd: *finishes getting ready* ... Lucifer only wishes for people to accept him... you must accept him too.

Sarah: It's because I AM in my twenties. ^^;

O. Key: So you don't just LOOK that way? Wow... Okay, then. .___.

Sarah: Yeah, this place is kind of nuts... >_>;

meanwhile

Shidako: I accept that he's evil. D: Come on, let's go outside... *opens the door and goes out to the hallway*

O. Todd: Well... it's nice to see you, Kiddo.

meanwhile

Altodd: *follows her out, dragging his feet*

Lucifer: *out, he watches Altodd* >:) ...

Sarah: *nods, giving them a sad smile, then steps forward to hug them tightly*

O. Key: ! *looks at Todd, then hugs her back*

meanwhile

Mikenno: *loyally stands next to Lucifer*

Shidako: *notices them, and growls at Lucifer, nudging Altodd along. she would deal with him later*

O. Todd: ... *hugs her back*

meanwhile

Lucifer: *gives Shidako a small wave* >:)

Altodd: *staring blankly ahead, he walks*

Alarm: BWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! BWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

O. Key: ?!

Sarah: OW. *lets go of them, runs into her room to grab her gun, and comes back out* OKAY, ALARM MEANS WE GO OUTSIDE. FOLLOW ME! *heads down the hallway*

O. Key: ! *follows after her*

meanwhile

Everyone: *waits for the teleporters to activate*

O. Todd: *follows her as well, his vision shaky and blurred from the amount of noise* OWWW!! DX

Voice: TELEPORTER ACTIVATED, PLEASE STEP FORWARD.

Everyone: *does*

Altodd: *defends himself, his movements sluggish and robotic*

Shidako: *fights, watching Altodd, and defending the both of them* D:>

Sarah: *stays with her parents, helping them*

O. Key: *is appalled by the amount of enemies and violence and DEATH in every direction* D8...

Altodd: *fights like a zombie*

Todd: ... I think there's something wrong with Altodd...

O. Todd: *impales a charging Orc* D8> !!??

Key: Huh? *looks over at him* Oh... you know what, I think you're right. He's definitely moving way too slow.

Shidako: *defends Altodd*

O. Key: !! *dodges a dive-bombing griffin* AAH!!

Sarah: !! *shoots it*

Todd: What do you think's going on with him? D:>

Altodd: *zombie*

O. Todd: D8 *fights as best as he can*

Lucifer: *watches Mikenno*

Key: maybe he's sick, or... something... Shidako doesn't look to happy... D:

Shidako: *is not happy*

Mikenno: *stays on the ground, refusing to use his wings or his fire, clawing and biting at his enemies instead*

O. Key: *can't deal as much damage as Todd can with her claws, so she stays with Sarah for the most part* D8

Sarah: *defends them as best as she can*

Older!Claire: *drops from the sky, landing near them. She stands, frantically trying to figure out where she is*

Todd: Does this mean he's gonna turn into a werewolf? Because last time he looked sick, he turned into a werewolf. D8

Altodd: *zombie*

O. Todd: CLAIRE! :D

Troll: *charges at Older Claire* HUURAAAGH!!

O. Todd: CLAIRE! D8

Lucifer: *enjoying what he's done to Mikenno*

Key: I don't think that's it, though... Shidako could tell last time, she didn't stay near him...

Shidako: *is staying close*

O. Claire: ?! *sees the troll, and levels her gun, waiting for it to get closer before shooting it right in the head*

O. Key: O____O;

Todd: Then... I dunno. D:

Altodd: *zombie*

Troll: *falls, dead*

O. Todd: Oh wow. D:

Someone: RETREAT!!

O. Todd: Uh, I guess we go now...?

Everyone: *goes back, entering the stronghold*

Lucifer; *waits for Shidako in his room*

*IN THE STRONGHOLD*

Shidako: *grabs Altodd by the wrist and storms down the hallway to Lucifer's room*

Mikenno: *waits with Lucifer*

meanwhile

O. Claire: ...Okay, where are we? D:

Claire: *sees her older self as she passes by* .____. ...

O. Claire: *sees her younger self, and stares at her* ... Please tell me I haven't gone crazy.

O. Key: <___<;;

Lucifer: *opens the door for Shidako* Welcome, dear woman.

Altodd: ...

meanwhile

O. Todd: Nnnnope. But really, I thought I hadn't taken my medicine when we came here. This is a place called the Between World. Harry talked about it once.

Shidako: What did you do to Altodd?! D8<

meanwhile

O. Claire: ... I remember him mentioning it once... Guess it wasn't just some crazy dream, huh?

O. Key: *shakes her head* It's all real... TOO real, if you ask me...

up

O. Harry: *waking up* Mmf... *sits up slowly, and looks over at Todd and Key* ...

O. Todd: *still asleep*

meanwhile

Altodd: *doesn't answer her. Just continues staring blankly up at the ceiling*

O. Key: ...? *looks over at him* ...good morning, Harry...

meanwhile

Shidako: ...Altodd? *waves a hand in front of his face* ...Are you awake? D:

Harry: ... Good morning, uh... *trying to remember her name* umm...

O. Todd: *waking up* ...?

meanwhile

Altodd: *slowly nods at Shidako*

O. Key: ...My name is Key, Harry.

meanwhile

Shidako: ...why aren't you talking? D:

Harry: ... Right, Key... good morning, Key.

Todd: <:/

meanwhile

Altodd: *in a monotone voice* ... you never asked me to talk.

O. Key: *nods to him, then looks at Todd* ...good morning to you too.

meanwhile

Shidako: *decides that there's something very wrong with Altodd. she sits up, concerned* Are you feeling alright? D:>

Todd: 'Morning. <:/ It always makes me sad when he forgets one of our names...

Harry: I feel sad when I forget names, too.

meanwhile

Altodd: ... I feel... wonderful...

Key: *nods in agreement* Mhmm...

meanwhile

Shidako: You don't SOUND wonderful... D:> *sits him up, and shakes him slightly* Come onnn, Altodd... D:

O. Harry: What do we do now...?

O. Todd: Well, you need to stay here, Harry, and I guess we need to get ready for today's fight.

meanwhile

Altodd: *stares blankly at her*

O. Key: ... *gets out of bed and starts doing so*

meanwhile

Shidako: Why are you like this...? D:>

O. Todd: *does the same* Okay... I guess we should just head out and... start wandering around... I guess...?

O. Harry: ...

meanwhile

Altodd: ...Lucifer made me like this. Now I know that he is a good person.

O. Key: I guess... maybe they'll let us know when we have to go out...

meanwhile

Shidako: ...Lucifer, Lucifer... I know him... he's bad news, Altodd... D:>

O. Todd: Maybe. :/ *opens the door for Key*

O. Harry: ... *goes back to sleep*

meanwhile

Altodd: ... He is a good person... maybe he can show you, too...

O. Key: *goes out into the hallway* ...do you think we should look for our younger selves?

meanwhile

Shidako: No, no, no, he's a BAD GUY... didn't you hear, he took control of Other-You, and Blondie, and Mikki! And made them do bad stuff! D:>

O. Todd: Well... I wanted to go look for Sarah, first... <:/

meanwhile

Altodd: *he shakes his head slowly* No... he is only misunderstood...

O. Key: Oh, you're right... You know, she looks younger too. :/ We'll have to ask where her room is... or wait for her to come out... >_>;

meanwhile

Shidako: No, I'm very sure he's just plain-old BAD. Come on, we need to get ready to go out, can you fight like this? D:>

O. Todd: Uh, that one cartoon character would know - oh, there! HEY!

Eclipse: Yeah? D:

O. Todd: Do you know which room a girl named Sarah Huntings is in?

Eclipse: Uhh... yeah. 666.

O. Todd: Thank you. Come on, Key. *heads over to that room and knocks on the door*

meanwhile

Altodd: ... he said I can still fight... I can fight, then. *gets up and gets ready in a very zombie-like manner*

O. Key: *waits with Todd* ...

Sarah: *opens the door, and is surprised to see them there* Oh, hi! Hi. Wow, still used to seeing the younger versions of you guys... It's really nice to see you...

MEANWHILE

Shidako: mmnnh... *gets out of bed and grabs her gauntlets, getting ready very quickly, watching Altodd worriedly* <:( ...
