[color=8882be]Felixter hesitates to turn around and face his speaker. She had requested his trust right off the bat, which he understood by now to mean that he wouldn't like what he saw. He wasn't wrong. Upon turning around, his eyes meet with the pale lavender ones of what was clearly another demon witch. Just like the ones that had kidnapped and killed Sephie and Meora.
Felixter clenches his fists. No, he couldn't judge this one like the others. Nelodine was a clear antithesis to everything the other witches stood for, meaning there was still hope. Plus...he'd never seen this particular witch before. She is small with pale skin, long hair reaching down to her ankles that is so black Felixter might've thought it was made from shadows, and those gazing lavender eyes. Her dress is predominantly white, full of silver or black frills and doily-like details. Her shoes match, but are tied with red ribbon instead of silver or black. There is also a red butterfly decoration in the middle of her neckline, and a red jewel in the huge silver and black bow decorating the front of her white witch hat. White horns just barely poke out from the hat's rim.
"You're one of Kebaratsu's witches, aren't you? What number are you?" Felixter asks cautiously.
"...In reality, I'm the first." The little witch replies. "The 'new' first, Nimika, is actually....the third...but, since she got move up...I've become officially known as #7."
Felixter's curiosity is piqued now. "What's your name...? And why have I never seen you before?"
"These details aren't important...but since I guess you need something to call me...call me Negloria." The witch replies. "I'm not here about me, though. I'm here to repay a favor. Sephie...your sister...helped to reunite me with my mother. She brought my family, the good part of it...back together....so, I'm going to do the same for you."
"Wait...so...s-so Sephie is..." Felixter's eyes widen.
"....Alive." Negloria murmurs. "Her friend is too. It's just that..." The witch trails off, letting Felixter regain himself. He had started to cry a little bit, but was quickly getting his composure back, eager to know more.
"Why?" Felixter sniffles. "Why...did they leave? Why didn't they come back? Are they alright?"
"...I'm not at liberty to tell you why Sephie pretended to be dead all this time." Negloria says in her quiet little voice. "...All I know is that I can't bear watching you all suffer...I don't want anyone else to suffer separation like this..."
"You...can take me to her?" Felixter stands from his chair.
"I can..." Negloria nods.
"Then let's go now." Felixter begins walking towards the door to his lab.
"You don't want to tell the others? You...might need backup..." Negloria murmurs. Felixter stops in his tracks and grimaces.
"...There are few of my friends who'd believe me at this point...and I have a feeling you don't want to get caught in the middle of meeting everyone right now." Felixter shakes his head. "No. I should do this alone, or with a very, very small group at best...I don't want too many distractions."
"...Very well." Negloria agrees.
Felixter exits the dark room he'd kept himself in for the past few days, squinting when the next room he entered was lit up. He looks around, but after seeing no sign of Kayori or Mirui, he opens the doorway to the stairs that led up above ground, and out of the lab. Felixter leads the witch up and out into the outside world, behind the hotel.
"Shall we be off, then?" Felixter looks down at Negloria.
"..." Negloria is quiet, but her eyes begin to glow fiercely....[/color]

[color=8dc73f]Persephone notices Michael blushing a bit, and snickers. "Aw, that's cute! What, you got a crush on me or somethin'?" She winks. "Ah, just kidding! Nice to see you too, Michael! Ah, and I see you brought your kids! I extend my greetings to them as well!"
"Don't touch me." Ruitsume scowls at Inigo. She tries to hide her smirk at seeing him taken down by Morgan next.
"Boy, such eccentric people!" Persephone grins after all the members of the family introduce themselves. "I knew coming here was a good idea!"
"Yeah, whatever." Ruitsume rolls her eyes. Meanwhile, Kanashiko is trying to shuffle away to the nearest corner, considering herself an unwelcome addition to the conversation.
"Well, I'm Persephone! This angry chick next to me is Ruitsume, and the one in blue over here is Kana-eh?" Persephone points to each witch in succession until reaching Kanashiko, who isn't next to her anymore, but off finding a corner behind them. "Hey! Kanashiko! Come back!"
"I'm unworthy of your cool friends!" Kanashiko whimpers back.
Before Persephone or Ruitsume can get their friend to come back, they stand in attention of F.M.'s announcement.
"Okay then!" Persephone waves to the sky, since she has no idea where F.M. is.
When Inigo gets back up to go into the hotel, Ruitsume scowls again. "Seriously, don't touch me. I'll do to you what I did to Persephone just now with little regret."
"Kaaaaana! We need you back, we gotsta go inside the hotel and sign iiiin!" Persephone calls back to her friend.
"O-okaaaayyy...." Kanashiko walks back over, but stands behind Persephone.
"Sure thing! I'll be right behind you." Persephone nods as Michael and his family head inside. Suddenly, her cat-like senses pick up something behind the hotel. Ammi doesn't seem to notice, though she usually would since she IS a cat, because of the trance she's still in. Persephone, however, begins to smile a bit eerily.
"Sure..." Ammi replies to F.M. before wandering back inside of the building anyway.
Ruitsume recognizes the look in Persephone's eyes and huffs.
"So, how many people do I need to warn to stay away from you, a their lives might depend on it?" Ruitsume says. "I knew there was some horrible reason for you taking us here..."
"Relaaax..." The cheerful tone to her voice is replaced with eeriness as well. "I came mostly to help, and less to harm...I'm just a little...surprised."
"Why's that?" Ruitsume raises a brow.
"...Because the event I had anticipated so much is already beginning..." Persephone giggles.
With that, the 3 Grand Witches head inside the building to sign in...[/color]
