... And of [i]course[/i] Herik comes in at the last second and diverts Chompy's attention. Madison couldn't help but roll her eyes at the display, because, while Herik was nice, he was just too nice. Though it could have been that he interpreted the situation as she wanted Chompy to [i]kill[/i] the bitch, Madison didn't intend on having Chompy kill her. That she would get the point and use her fancy teleportation abstraction to buzz off. Madison rolled her eyes again as more people came - Lyss, Grace, and Quinn. As per usual, Madison focused her attention on Lyss because those two weren't... helping. 

Lyss seemed to be fully intending on letting this weirdo into the Coven, even though she keeps going on these insane little rants right in her face. At this point, Madison - and Emily - threw in the towel and let things run their cause. Emily had crossed her arms as well and looked off to the side outside the door... she pointed her hand at it and the tethers came out of her fingertips and closed it. She shrugged as the thought of using her abstraction to do [i]more[/i] than just open and close doors came and went. However, Emily was [i]not[/i] going to drop this that easily... mostly because this situation seemed real [i]sus[/i].

"Lyss," Emily tried to use her chipper secretary voice to avoid coming off as a bitch, but... "Maybe you should leave this decision to Claud, yes?" Of course, that statement fell on deaf ears as Lyss was more or less trying to recruit her on her own, and... she knew that Claudette would listen to Lyss over her infallible logic. So Emily just shook her head and found herself a spot and just listened to bits and pieces of what Lyss was saying.

Until something caught her attention.

[quote=Lyss][color=D3D3D3] “...and two of our girls have crossed over with the Hound.”[/color][/quote]

"... Two?" Emily raised an eyebrow as, of course, Lyss had something she wasn't telling them.

[quote=Lyss][color=D3D3D3] “The DENs have been looking for a woman named Annabelle. She is responsible for the recent mass murders in Tampa. I regret to inform you all that a few days ago, she was the one responsible for Izzy’s death. I only discovered this yesterday when Agent Liao approached me.”[/color][/quote]

"Wait? The [i]fuck?![/i]" Madison shouted upon hearing the news of Izzy's death. Because what the fuck? She had to try [i]really[/i] hard to fight the tears of her fallen friend. She sat down on the back of the sofa as she rested a hand in her face. Izzy was a friend of hers, probably not the closest friend these days, but they still related a lot over their love of Instagram and racy photographs. She quietly sobbed before she composed herself. A deep breath left her mouth as she looked up at Lyss. There was a hint of venom in her voice as she spoke, seemingly on auto.

"Okay, okay, [i]okay,[/i] Lyss, I love ya' and I don't mean [i]no[/i] disrespect," Madison said as she raised her hands and stepped up. "But shouldn't have told us this like,[i] dunno[/i], soon as you fuckin' heard it? And not use it to recruit some weird bitch who came outta nowhere?" She pointed a hand at Isla as she barely showed care.  

A tear ran down Madison's eye and she promptly wiped it. She ain't know who Annabelle is, but she's personally wondering how deep Lyss has gotten with them given that, [i]apparently[/i], the head bitch in charge is giving them secret government information. From a secret government agency. One that Madison ain't trust not one bit.

"... And I think you need to start explaining some of this shit to us. Who the fuck is Annabelle? Who the fuck are even the DENS? And why the fuck do you seem all buddy-buddy with the very people that [i]attacked[/i] us? Why the fuck... [i]why the fuck did she kill Izzy?[/i]"

Madison's voice cracked as she was unable to maintain the facade and the tears came running down her face.

Maya came in and something [i]amazing[/i] happened...

[quote=Maya][color=FireBrick]“Since when was that the deal? “I don’t remember ever agreeing signing up to throw my life away, even if you all think I run headfirst into danger. I’m upset over… what happened to those two, honestly, but that doesn’t mean more of us should expect to sacrifice ourselves too.”[/color][/quote]

... Emily agreed with Maya. 

"... And [i]why[/i] is the village [i]idiot[/i] making more sense than half the people in the room?" Emily said as she looked among the group. She wasn't going to throw her life away for the Coven. Personally, Emily didn't particularly care or approve of Izzy and her whoring ways, but she also couldn't say that she [i]didn't[/i] feel bad. They lost two sisters in a week and it... was becoming abundantly clear that Babylon was right. They were approaching a storm that they weren't prepared for... and she was wondering how many of them would be going down next. Yet, some of them were jumping to conclusions - including herself.

"Lyss, sweetie," Emily couldn't force that chipper secretary accent again but she spoke in her normal tone as she kept her whole attention on Lyss. "Are you one hundred percent sure we can trust them? Did you see a photograph? Or... even a Recollection of it?"

She crossed her arms before she continued. "They [i]attacked us[/i]... for all [i]we[/i] fucking know that bitch Liao herself iced Izzy!" She found herself shouting, but she sighed as she closed her eyes. Emily [i]hated[/i] to do this to Lyss, but taking a shit at face value was the Coven's [i]problem[/i]. "And as Madison said, some of us don't even know who the DENS, or Liao, or Annabelle even is. So, please enlighten us." 

However, before her eyes drifted towards Isla as she couldn't ignore something that was bugging her anymore.

"And if you do [i]not[/i] put that plant down..." She hissed at Isla.
