Lynette smiled at Penny.

"... You're right," Lynette said with that same cheeky smile on her face. "Go on then and tell Kimberly I said hi when you see her." She chuckled.

And when Penny blinked, Lynette was gone. Without a trace... was she even there in the first place?

Odessa was quiet the whole time... but wondered what was wrong here. With "Paradise"... was that girl an illusion or a figment of their imagination. Odessa was getting tired of the weird shit this place was throwing their way but she felt like this was merely the beginning of it all. She just shook her head as she just tried not to think too hard about it, for her sanity and tried to focus on Penny here.

Her hand turned back into flesh as she shook her head. So, it seemed like Penny was intent on doing this... which Odessa personally wasn't against. She wanted a piece of that Apparition as much as anyone else did, but she was going to go about it more smartly. Smarter than wandering around a place like this by herself searching for an Apparition - if she could even find the Apparition. The place's geography was... inconsistent, and that was what Odessa should have said earlier but the whole thing with Stacey kind of threw her off a bit. Just a tad.

Still, Mao and Lilith just disappeared and they all went from a recreation of Farmer Hill to a cruise ship... and now they're here (And Odessa didn't know how long[i] that'd[/i] last). Talking Penny out of this was impossible, but what was also impossible was Odessa letting Penny wander off alone. So, they'd have to compromise here. Odessa sighed.

"... Penny, I [i]know[/i] you're dead set on this, and I [i]know[/i] I can't talk you out of this, but I [i]can't[/i] let you wander off here alone," Odessa softly started as she put her hands together. "Let me help you... I know a way to get abscised out of a body, and this is partially my fault in the first place. If I had been a little faster, I could have sealed that Apparition when it was vulnerable."

She shook her head as she turned towards the door - halfway, she didn't trust Penny to not run off. Or do something else crazy. The girl was emotional at the moment and Odessa understood why. Truth be told if Penny left there would not be a thing Odessa could do to stop her. Nor would she attempt to track her in this hellscape. Odessa's hand made contact with the door and she opened it to tell the group that they intended to leave... 

... only to see that the entire lobby was empty. Everyone was gone. Without a trace. And Odessa's jaw dropped as she turned back towards Penny.

"... They're gone."

[i]... This shit can't be fuckin' real.[/i]

Zoey thought to herself as she fell on her hands and knees. This [i]had[/i] to have something to do with Stacey because this shit ain't start until he came back in ready to cry. What did Penny do to Stacey... but as her eyes landed on the glowing orb that little tingle in the back of her skull began, well, tingling. This wasn't Zoey's first rodeo with the (to put it quite bluntly) fuckin' weird and it ain't her last as she started piecing things together one step at a time.

The bodies disappeared as she sighed. It's all... an illusion. It can't be real. There's only one Zoey, and even if she had a hard time believing it sometimes; she ain't dead. She took a deep inhale as she closed her eyes and put her fist behind her elbow and stretched her upper arm and focused on the sensation. The feeling of her arms stretching as she tried to break the illusion placed on her.

Like how she was going to break Stacey's ass when she kicks it.

Opening her eyes she let the air out and looked around as everyone else wasn't taking it too well. But then her eyes landed on one of the kids... Finn. Her fucking heart sunk as she saw the scissors at her neck and she operated off of instinct as she ran fast as she could towards the girl. Then she threw herself directly at Finn in some sort of weird tackle... and probably thought about how stupid it was to just throw herself face-first towards a girl with a sharp instrument.
