"Yes, this is Natalia Dawson. This is Amira, am I correct?"

Amira recognized Natalia's voice immediately. Wasting no time, she got right to the point: "Yes, Ma'am. I just received intelligence of a possible situation in the mall. The witness reported a, quote 'bunch of kids showing off their powers.' Multiple sightings confirmed, Ma'am. Containment might be necessary."

Leo rolled his eyes at the interruption. And just when they were getting to the good part, too. Although he couldn't hear what Amira was saying, he knew that if she was involved, it was probably something that required Nat's undivided attention.

He pulled himself up out of the hot spring and grabbed a nearby towel to dry himself off.

Toby managed to leave the mall without drawing any attention to himself, or at least, he thought he did. When he found a place to sit, he flopped down, covering his face with his hands. What the Hell just happened? I should go back and see if Artemis is alright. But what if I can't control that Thing again...? He leaned forward, with his face still in his hands, unsure of what to do next.

@Karl Kadaver *swoops in and steals the licorice*

Black licorice is the best candy around. Just sayin'.

@Adamina

Right?! Everyone else is missing out!

And, uh...could I have that back?

*Noms on a piece of black licorice, knowing no one else would want it*

No one told me that today was coming! I was caught unawares! I demand a refund!

Barring that, I try to post something during break a few minutes from now.

He might, but he wanted to leave the mall as quickly as possible so he didn't risk losing control and hurting anyone...especially Artemis.

Well, Toby's going into hiding for a while...

Technically, all of the shapeshifters in the RP could do that.. :P

My post wasn't relevant to the conversation.

Things were beginning to calm down. Lyra's powers were starting to lose their effect on Toby, allowing him to regain control of his form. He slowly returned to his human form and crouched next to the still unconscious Artemis. He had to collect himself; he was fully aware of what he felt while under the Sorrow's effect. It was something he hadn't felt for a long time, and it was not something he was anxious to relive. He stared at his friend, thankful that she hadn't seen the monster he'd become. To him, nothing else mattered right now... He shakily reached out his hand to brush her cheek, or some such romantic gesture, but he lacked fortitude, partly because turning into the monster drained him, physically and mentally. He was also partially afraid; he barely knew her. Was a simple touch too forward? He didn't want to find out. He performed a visual check for signs of life (yes, her chest was rising and falling, meaning that she was at least breathing).

He whispered the words, "I'm sorry," and, still half crouched, slinked his way out of the mall.

Yu-Gi-Oh: Summoners (Metal Zeta and Karl Kadaver)

Amanda was face down, on her hands and knees when she heard someone say, "This man wants to say sorry to you. Doesn't he?"

It took her a short time to realize that the guy was talking to her, and looked up, craning her neck to see a cyan-haired gentleman gripping the neck of the guy who knocked her cards from her hands. She leaned back on her knees and awaited the other guy's response. He responded with a muttered, "Yeah, sorry." He then quickly crouched down and found Amanda's remaining cards and handed them to her, likely fearing her savior's wrath if he didn't comply. When Amanda appeared satisfied that she had all of her cards (she performed a quick count to make sure), the guy quickly got up and left without a word.

"Sorry miss. Looks this this tournament doesn't have a "must not be a jerkface" entry restriction."

Amanda brushed her legs off and stood up, then brushed that damned stray hair from her face. She let out a light chuckle at the gentleman's joke. "Yeah, heh, I suppose not." She shifted her weight from one foot to the other and glanced downward. None of the other guys who witnessed Jerkface knock her cards from her hands had even tried to step up to help; such chivalry was something she'd only seen in roleplaying games. "You don't have to call me Miss. It's uh, Amanda..."

@Madame Kitten I finally posted.
