Carmilla blinked prettily down at the short boy, who for the moment had his feet above his head up against the wall. "Why would [i]I[/i] do such a thing?" She waited as he stood up and allowed him a moment to clean himself off. She raised her eyebrows ever so slightly. "As I understand, you received [i]your[/i] punishment last week. Whatever happened to your things afterward is your business, not ours."

Carver snickered. "Kinda sad you managed to convince Agatha to help you get the lipstick off so soon. You're gonna have to tell me what you did for it, later."

Lillith pinched the bridge of her nose and sighed. "Enough. What happened last week is over with. Lock, I'll help you find your guitar strings, and then we can get started. You three," she looked pointedly at Shock, Barrel, and Carver, "can get started on warm ups if you don't want to help. Carmilla..."

The older twin stared at her sister silently for a moment. Something niggled at the back of her mind, but she couldn't quite grasp it... She sighed again. "Carmilla, you can do whatever you want. Just please... Save it for [i]after[/i] practice."

She shook her head and headed for the back of the room, reflexively stepping over her audio equipment. If she did a strategic sweep pattern, it might be slower, but it would also be less chaotic than checking every possible spot in random order and hoping they didn't miss any-- She stopped.

Lillith spun and stared at the spot she had stepped over. [i]There wasn't anything there.[/i] An immediate examination of her theremin also revealed one of the antennae and the power supply were also missing. She screeched and swiped her fingernails at Carmilla. "You! All this week I've been waiting for you to get your revenge, and you had already done [i]this![/i]"

Carmilla dodged the scratch, but only just barely. She quickly glided backward in a zigzag pattern in case any more attacks were forthcoming. "Now, now, [i]dear sister[/i]," she chided. "That's not very lady like. Aren't vampires supposed to be [i]above[/i] such behavior? You wouldn't want to stoop to their level--" she motioned toward the tricksters "--now, would you?"

Before Lillith could respond, the younger sister transformed into a bat. Lillith reached out to grab her with her vampiric speed, but Carmilla matched it, and it was rather like a blurrier version of a regular mortal trying to snatch a regular bat out of midair.
