He foams at the mouth a bit, his eyes streaked with blood, as he begins to bleed out of the corner of his eyes. Almost bewildered, Chase attempts to fight it, hoping to head towards Jamila. Of course, all is for nought, as Darren and Amy managed to kill the Qareen with ease, piercing her heart -- the only vulnerable part of a Qareen. The day appears to be saved once more for those of you in the Town Center, with Chase under an enchantment, and the Qareen dead. Of course, this safety may just be an illusion... 

Beyond the more disturbing events, the clock has just struck 2:30 PM. Most people have left the Town Center by now, and even more have left the Shopping District they took cover in. There's talk of setting up a shelter at Altsoba High, but most head home to be with their families. A few more try to flee the town, only to show up in the woods, mauled just like all the rest. 

[@Lady Amalthea]: After searching the entire Internet for anything to help, Danica stumbles upon several sites of interest. One claims to have a listing of hunters, able to help for problems, yet it looks like a third grader set it up. Probably not going to be that reliable. Another site claims to be an authority on ghosts, explaining that ghosts form when remains are left in this world, and a spirit had unfinished business. It recommends[i] Ghosts: A Natural History: 500 Years of Searching for Proof[/i] by Roger Clarke for further reading. Danica may recall that John Moses' full remains were never found as well. 

[@Lady Amalthea]: Luckily for Amy, it seems all of the work has about finished. The paramedics are treating the last few people, beginning to wrap things up. Of course, work never seems to be finished. Amy is called back to the hospital, asked to assist Dr. Sorreast with more patients. Looks like she won't be getting a break for a while -- unless, of course, Amy decides she's going to take one anyways. Who's there to complain, right?

[@Sohtem]: Jessica's work seems to be cut out for her, but she receives word that Dr. Chang will be returning shortly. At least they won't be as understaffed anymore. However, she's not out of the woods yet. Instead, it looks like she's about to enter them. Remember the cop that bumped into Daniyal and gave him Ghost Sickness? He’s being brought in right now on a stretcher, suffering from strange burns that appear out of nowhere. Hope you've got something to fix that, doc. 

[@Pundii]: Music continues to play in Jake's changing to [url=https://youtu.be/jDyZj4msaoE]this[/url] song, almost the moment he enters. He may notice that the clock on the wall, every clock in the small café really, has stopped at precisely 11:45 AM. Sutton hardly looks like herself anymore, though if Liam had been paying attention, he'd recall that she already had horrible burn marks on her hands when she handed him the coffee. Those are still there. There's no sign of who did this to her, or how. 

Updates for all other characters (those interacting with the Qareen or Dr. Barnes, mostly) can be found below.

Interacting With: Mitsukuri Katsumi[@BlueSky44], Scarlet Warrington [@Sohtem], Darren Andrews [@Pundii][/center][hr][hr]Jade blinked, hardly understand all of the chaos that just occurred. She nodded at Scarlet, watching as the woman in front of her fell to the ground, her skin and hair greying. All of it seemed surreal, but the glint of a gun caught her eye. It was the young girl, the Japanese girl, pointing a gun at the raving doctor, the blood dripping down from his eyes. 

[color=339933]"You're the asshole who did this, yeah?"[/color] Jade asked plainly. She didn't wait for a response, snapping the cuffs onto Chase's wrists. [color=339933]"I don't give a fuck how you try to kill people -- attempted murder is attempted murder, you git."[/color]

Chase instead whimpered a bit at Jade, the blood flowing from his eyes excessively. It was as if his brain had been liquified, seeping out of every crevice. The doctor attempted to ask for help, but only growls came out of his mouth, as he limped his way over towards the fallen body of Jamila. Becoming weaker and weaker by the moment, he collapsed on top of her, viciously gnawing and biting and consuming, until his body spilled, the blood loss too great to be sustained. 

[color=339933]"...What the hell?"[/color] Jade whispered, her eyes wide. For a moment, she wondered if her medication had been mixed up with someone else's, causing her to see things. But everything had been all too real. There was no way she could explain what happened today. Throwing glances between Darren and Katsumi, Jade bit her lip. 

[color=339933]"The apocalypse is real...We're fucked,"[/color] Jade said, blinking at the bloody scene in front of them. Only mere moments after the last tragedy, another had occurred. If all of this was real, there had to be some sadistic asshole running the show.

Interacting With: Joel Schroeder [@hagroden][/center][hr][hr]The paramedics finish patching up Joel, handing him a prescription as well. It's rather lucky they managed to finish up treating for him, letting them avoid the wrath of Amy Chang for just one more moment. The paramedics quickly usher Joel and Howard away from the makeshift medical area, cleaning up the stations in order to care for the next pair. Howard buttons his suit jacket once more, flexing his cut hand, and admiring the wince of pain, like a child who touches the stove despite knowing it's hot.

[color=FA5858]"Enchanting,"[/color] Howard replied, a snakelike smile on his face. [color=FA5858]"Shall we stop by the shop to procure some items and then head to your quarters? I just got my hands on the Book of the Damned, it's a fascinating read...A bugger to translate, I'm afraid."[/color]

Nodding his head at Joel, he motioned for him to join him, walking away from the paramedics and towards his humble place of business. He hardly batted an eye at the new wave of violence, having heard the gunshots and seen the police as they ran. He couldn't be bothered to care about people killing each other. If anything, it was welcome to him. More deaths meant less people to be irritated by. 

He could certainly drink to that.
