Vincent was confused about how Grit and Dreams were the same, but he was not going to dismiss the statement completely considering just how much of a nightmare this event had grown into. The order of "Do Not Sleep" really irritated him. There goes Father asking the impossible again! He would have to figure out a sigil or find one that prevented the need for sleep, and that would waste time that could be used to work through everything else.

The generator was easy enough to get to as everyone was supposed to know where it is for emergency reasons. The defense grid became activated, and everyone in the mansion could breath easy. For now.

[quote]Roy peered out the window at the strings of light that barred it, then swiveled his head around to look back to Berry and Vincent. "We'll find the nearest people first. Miss Berry, does that map thingy tell ya where those people are? Mr. DeMoore, d'ya know how to put those pink stones back into their people? If we can bring 'em back to life and escort 'em back here, we'll be doin' some good."[/quote]

Vincent raised an eyebrow. Roy was there when the Queen said that both Vincent and that cowardly accountant knew the sigil to allow the people to reabsorb their souls, right? Vincent sighed and shook his head quickly coming to the conclusion that the robot had not been listening. "Yeah, I can do it. It's a simple absorption sigil."

Vincent began to trudge throughout the mansion and using his pen drew the required sigil on each person he found then placing their soul stone into the sigil to return it. He decided he would start with Maribeth and go around the house from there. He glanced at Randy the Spear on occasion wondering how he was going to transfer his soul back into his proper body. He was definitely a huge hassle as a spear, and while the power it had was incredible that lack of control he felt when fighting the Grit terrified him. Next time he did something like put a soul into an object he definitely would only put in a piece not the whole thing.
