Lady Luck doesn't seem to have been too kind to these characters, and perhaps, they'll find life again in some other story. But for now, that is not the case. Read on, clutch your characters tightly, and prepare to say goodbye to those who fell! 

[@Pundii]: Liam doesn't get an answer from god and it seems the angel doesn't feel like showing as well. Too bad, that. However, in his internet searching, he stumbles upon a website that appears to be run by an organization of supernatural hunters. There's a page that lists hunters they recommend, including basic contact information. The most promising one is [url=https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/537434054304337920/jomHOmPl.png]Aloise Zamora[/url]. Perhaps calling in an expert would help? Darren Andrews is also listed on the page, but his contact information is out of date. Sorry, pal. 

[@Witch Cat]: It doesn't look like Sylvia is going to get much sleep. Her spirit guide isn't having any of it. Just as she gets comfortable, the lights in the room intensify to a headache-inducing glare, and the blankets are thrown off of her. Her pillows are tugged away, and the room becomes an icy cold. Guess it must be something important...right?

[@Nallore]: LLA must want you to have nightmares tonight! While you're scanning through the footage, you notice something a little odd. Right around when the earthquake occurred, [url=http://www.scaryforkids.com/pics/devil-face.jpg]this[/url] image appears. Of course, no one had seen it when the event happened, but that can't just be a camera glitch, right? Hope you can sleep soundly tonight...

[@Witch Cat]: I have to admit, I was a bit disappointed with this outcome as well. Daniyal's scrying works, but it seems that Mephistopheles is onto him. Rather than showing Daniyal his minions, the other four demons are faceless. Mephistopheles winks a bit at Daniyal, waving at him even, through the blood. [color=red]"My, my, my! Seems we have a spy!"[/color] the demon chuckles. Daniyal may be able to make out where they are: it's one of the houses on Grant road.

Interacting With: Scarlet Warrington [@Sohtem], Danica Graves [@Lady Amalthea][/center][hr][hr]Taking a deep breath in, Cecily closed her eyes. She knew that she was fairly young and that it wasn't normal for forensics techs to temporarily man the station, but she figured the files everywhere would tip Scarlet off. And from the impatient glances of Danica, she could already tell that this would [i]not[/i] be a fun conversation to have. 

[color=00ccff]"I'm in charge for the moment,"[/color] Cecily explained. [color=00ccff]"Batman, the sheriff, is still at the crime scene. That means you get to deal with Robin, the head of the forensics department."[/color] Forcing a bit of a smile, Cecily knew that Scarlet would likely have more questions for her. She held out her hand for Scarlet's badge, as well as the needed documentation that the CIA would have had to fill out in order to gain access to the evidence. [color=00ccff]"Badge and forms, please,"[/color] Cecily said sweetly.

Her smile vanished when she heard Danica open her mouth. Could she not [i]see[/i] how much work Cecily was doing? Taking in a deep breath, Cecily attempted to go back to her zen filled mental palace, one where nothing bothered her, and she just focused on her work. It was the method to her madness. Instead, she was treated to an even [i]further[/i] verbal lashing. She couldn't have been more tempted to tell Danica that Hanson had died, or in fact, the ignore the woman completely. 

[color=00ccff]"I'll get the Suicide Squad right on that,"[/color] Cecily quipped. [color=00ccff]"They'll help you find Detective Hanson. Would you like me to call Amanda Waller for you? Get you a coffee or something? I'd be more than happy to [i]get off my ass[/i] and do these errands for you, and let the evidence remain unprocessed and unanalyzed."[/color] She did, however, accept the notes and piece of paper from Danica, adding it to the pile of reports and tips that needed to be sorted and attended to. For what it was worth, she put it on top. It'd be seen to next, as soon as she finished isolating the identity of the compound found on Vivian Adder's corpse. [hr][hr][center][h1][color=#ffcc66]Detective Hanson[/color][/h1][img]https://45.media.tumblr.com/df72698718f6ea2bff744750bbd3fff3/tumblr_nxx1o9xdWJ1s9mvkzo1_400.gif[/img][hr]Location: Altsoba Methodist
Interacting With: Amy Chang [@Lady Amalthea], Jessica Sorreast [@Sohtem][/center][hr][hr]Hanson coughs a bit, his pain tolerance beginning to end. He lets out shrieks of pain with each new burn that appears on him, and as a delightful bonus, boils cover his skin as well. His body is beginning to look like the corpse of Sutton Smith, funnily enough. Gritting his teeth, he forced himself to look into Jessica's eyes, in order to answer her question. 

[color=ffcc66]"Mountain View Cemetery,"[/color] Hanson splutters, before seizing up, as more burns appeared all over his skin. Only for him, the poor detective, there didn't seem to be any sort of light at the end of the tunnel. He let out a weak chuckle at Amy's efforts, knowing very well that it was too late for his soul to be saved. He'd sold it to the devil a long time ago, been damned to hell, the entire deal. 

The nurses, while a bit confused, go about Amy's requests. There are a few complications, of course. None of the peanut oil is there anymore, seems someone used it for their lunch. And the priest, last anyone heard, was over at the morgue, praying (read: [i]sobbing[/i]) over Reverend Adder's corpse. His phone went straight to voicemail, must have been turned off. But on the bright side, one of the more competent nurses informs Amy that the baptismal bath in the chapel has been prepared, and look at this, she's even got prayer beads to go with the salt!

[color=ffcc66]"Are you gonna pray over me?"[/color] Hanson asks Amy, chuckling and whimpering with each added pain. [color=ffcc66]"That's sweet, that...."[/color] His voice trailed off. As much as he doubted it'd work, there always was a chance it might just. And then, as soon as he could get to the cemetery, he'd finish John Moses off the way he thought he already had.

Only this time, there'd be no doubts about it being an accident.[hr][hr][h1][center][color=339933]Jade[/color] & [color=#FA5858]Howard[/color][/center][/h1][center]

Interacting With: Mitsukuri Katsumi & Zachary Carpenter [@BlueSky44], Darren Andrews [@Pundii], Adriana Byrd, Joel Schroeder[/center][hr][hr]Jade shrugs slightly, glancing over at Darren. Listening to the events going on inside, she can hear a thud, as a body hit the ground. Two people are arguing--one a male, one a female. Clearing her throat slightly, Jade rapped her knuckles against the frame of the door. [color=339933]"Altsoba PD, open up!"[/color] Her gun at the ready, Jade entered the shop first, allowing Zachary and Darren to follow behind her. A quick gaze revealed Howard Brighton, the shop owner, standing with his hands in the air. Professor Schroeder was on the floor in a heap, and Adriana Byrd, the woman they witnessed breaking into the shop, had a gun. Spying the silencer on it, Jade grimaced a bit. No wonder they hadn't heard a gunshot, then. 

[color=339933]"Put the gun down!"[/color] Jade exclaimed, aiming her own weapon at Adriana. Adriana kept her own weapon trained on Brighton. [color=339933]"I said, put the gun down!"[/color] 

[color=#FA5858]"I've tried that, she won't listen to reason..."[/color] Howard admitted, his arms growing weary. He'd been holding them up in the air for just a minute, but already, he was sick of it. Joel had made the mistake of not listening to the girl's demands, though Howard hardly blamed the chap. [i]The Book of the Damned[/i] wasn't something to be given away lightly. But was it worth dying for? ...He still hadn't quite decided yet. 

There was still no response. From the body already on the ground, Jade knew that she had enough for probable cause. Firing several rounds at Adriana, they all hit. A small smirk graced her face, and Jade motioned for the others to come into the shop. However, Darren had had her switch out the rounds in her chamber. She had hit Adriana with rock salt.

Adriana then, in reply, hit the trio with bullets. 

The first bullet struck Darren in the arm, with the next few implanting themselves in the wall behind the trio. Zachary was fortunate, without a single round hitting him. Jade, however, found herself pulled to the ground, gasping a bit. A bullet hit near her heart, breaking up into seven pieces, and dispersing in her chest. Lifting her hand up, she felt the sticky blood of the wound, and then tossed a glance to Darren. 

And in a moment, she was dead.

[color=#FA5858]"Well that's unfortunate,"[/color] Howard murmured, grimacing slightly. [color=#FA5858]"Might even leave a stain..."[/color]
