"What's it look like we're doing, dipshit!"

The mysterious girl gave Ezra the middle finger as she put her cellphone up at the chair that Shane chucked their way. The chair floated in the air, illuminated by a purple glow as her cellphone was covered in sigils. The chair was sent right back to Shane as the girl jumped into the portal, the boy was about to jump in after him but a chain wrapped around his arm. He looked over his shoulder and attempted to pull free and get into the portal but... the girl had closed it.

Now, Justin was [i]shivering[/i]. That water was [i]freezing[/i] cold and he also hit the wall. He hopped back up to his feet and [i]tried[/i] to catch the chair the bitch threw right back at Shane- 

[i]Oh right.[/i]

Water shuts off his abstraction.

Justin snapped his fingers and it was like a lighter that wouldn't ignite, he saw some sparks but no fire. He shook his head as the two disappeared and he [i]really[/i] would like to have a word with the two. Well, he'll have to settle-

[quote=Arabelle][color=804061] “There’s more of them down the hall! She let them in with a portal in the bathroom.”[/color] Arabelle shouted towards the real Liao and Doan. [color=804061] “They must be using some sort of cloaking spell so that I couldn’t see them, but I know they’re here.”[/color][/quote]

... Of [i]course.[/i]

Justin hoped that crazy shit happening where ever he went was [i]not[/i] going to be a trend. Okay, from the way this skinny white girl was talking to him - and looking at him - she was expecting him to solve all their little problems here. Which was [i]not[/i] what he wanted here, especially right when he couldn't use his abstraction- 

Oh, yeah, he still had his grandmother's abstraction.

Not a whole lotta stone in here so its usefulness will be... limited. However, would he be the great and powerful Justin Liao if he just [i]gave up[/i] when removed from his greatest tool? He sighed as he looked around - he should try to look like he's the one who has the right idea. The first thing that comes to mind would be to charge these intruders head-on, but that was [i]really[/i] dumb. Maybe he'd do well channeling his grandmother or his own mother and thinking about what would they do.

He could hear his mother's voice in his head, that very same annoying, commanding, and kinda bitchy voice. It was almost like she was speaking over him...

[color=red]"... How many of them did you see? And do you know if they have any weapons?"[/color] Justin asked, but the words weren't his own.

Then he thought about it for a second: the first thing that came to mind was [i]why[/i] the hell was she telling them this [i]now[/i]. While he channeled his mother, he wasn't as rude as she was. They're (as in the Vanburens) probably are expecting him to figure out what the hell is going on, or what the best course of action is. Honestly, he had no clue so he was gonna wing it. He faced the guy that was chained down and looked down at an expensive-looking chair that was kind of broken at his feet. So he did the sensible thing, picked it up, and then [i]slammed[/i] that bitch onto the ground as hard as he could. 

Then he got a table leg to use as a weapon while he figures out what the fuck is going on. He was still shivering but he wasn't going to cry or bawl about it. Now, he faced the guy.

[color=red]"Take him down!"[/color] Justin commanded the Vanburens... before realizing that he didn't get his intention across. [color=red]"But like don't knock him out or kill him! We need to ask him questions."[/color]

After Arabelle and "Tuyen" left, the robed strangers quickly ran out of the bathroom into the halls of the mansion. The spell was dispelled after a certain point, as they ran through the halls. However, whenever they found one of James "artifacts", they would take it apart and then check... and then throw it on the ground. They moved through the seemingly endless halls of the mansion, methodically tearing it apart hoping that their distraction would help them.

"Holy fuck," One girl, [i]very[/i] short, rotund, and had on a deer-skull mask and a red robe... with a very annoyingly high-pitched voice. "Do we even know what we're looking for?"

"Just keep touching stuff," The Cult Leader said as she held the baseball bat in both hands. "We'll find him eventually."

However, the purple portal opened up behind her, and the cult leader grit her teeth from underneath her mask. The girl with black hair stepped through... sans another member, and she looked at the girl that was around her height. She slung the baseball bat over her shoulder before she asked, "... Where's Daniel?"

"They grabbed him," The girl answered back.

"The fuck Tegan?" The short girl asked. "You just left him?!" 

"What the fuck was I supposed to do, Penny?" Tegan answered her. "Stand around and get bum-rushed!? But, that's not important- I don't know [i]how[/i] but one of them saw us and they know we're here."

Tegan shook her head as she watched their fearless leader walk back towards the main hall where they came from. She had the baseball bat over her shoulder and her other hand hung... until a strange fire appeared in her palm and out of that very fire came a chain. It wasn't like any chain, it was made out of black metal and it was thorny, jagged as if it was carved from the fires of hell itself. The lady walked forward to the confusion of her two allies.

"... Morgana," Penelope asked, "What the hell are you doing?"

"The Goddess [i]did[/i] tell us they do have abstractions," Morgana said from underneath her mask as she shook her head, "Obviously, we should have been a [i]bit[/i] more prepared for that."

"... Which is what I was saying all along," Penelope answered.

"Get back," Morgana commanded them and Penelope knew exactly what she was going to do.

"Are you [i]really[/i] going to give away our fuckin' position like [i]this[/i]?" The girl tilted her head, "They know we're [i]in[/i] the building but not where we are."

However, Morgana didn't answer and Penelope rolled her eyes up into her head as she got back and covered her ears. Morgana slammed her foot onto the ground as she faced skyward... before she let out a scream that was so loud that it could be heard from all the manor - perhaps even beyond. It sounded less like the scream from a girl and more like the scream from a demon, screaming on and on and on. Morgana came to a stop as a massive thud came from the basement.

Another boom came from the basement. Almost like [i]something[/i] was trying to get out.

Then there was a final boom, it came with demonic growling and barking... then three [url=https://i.imgur.com/JRhoqEC.jpg]massive beasts[/url] burst from the basement floor. They leap out in a fiery display as Morgana didn't move an inch as they stood behind her. They had the girth of a car and they absolutely dwarfed Morgana... and then they sat down as the chain that Morgana summoned wrapped themselves around the neck of the one closest with her. She looked over her shoulder at the cult.

"Maxine, Penelope," She looked at the two, "With me. We're going to go get Daniel."

The two nodded their head.

"Thea," Morgana said and a girl with a blue robe and a rabbit mask over her upper face that was fairly tall, "Take everyone and go find the Horned God."

Thea nodded her head as she gestured for the rest of the cult to come along, as the three - plus Morgana's minions - marched back towards the Vanburens.
