Videor chuckled a little before grabbing the phone and turning it off, putting it back into TK's pocket,"Alright, well I gave you plenty of time to talk with your friends, but due to your teleporting just now, you'll need to get some sleep. Sorry you two, we can talk in another room." Videor replied, an illusion of himself appearing beside the door.

When TK heard the name Lance, she froze and looked away, debating whether or not she should whistle.

She then glared at Videor, "Viddy, pleaaaase let them stay to keep me awaaaaaaaaaake" she whined.

(wow...)

Alevon hums to himself after not getting a response
"Maybe it was the wrong number...huh...do I know anyone else's number..? Oh well...I'm sure they won't object to this anyway..."

He continues recruiting

Udo would see Alevon take the person to a disclosed location to speak with them, asking Udo to wait for him until he returned, which would only take a few minutes per person

"I'll be back in a moment, I just need to question them and the like to see if they will be loyal to us, it'd be bad if we snagged an enemy...feel free to enjoy yourself until I return, it'll only be a minute"
Alevon says to Udo, his eyes turning blue to represent truth

"Sorry Tsinanae. I would have allowed more time, but those jumps of yours made things worse. You really need your rest now..." Videor replied, still holding and rubbing her hands,"After all, it's either rest now, or later. But later might be more fighting which you'd have to miss due to you not wanting to rest." He then smiled at this, gazing into her eyes.

Leana smiled slightly, glad that Gabrielle was talking to her. Though her smile faltered at the mention of Lance.

"Uh...yeah..." she responed in a low voice. "Though it's fine... I mean, you can't wait for someone when you don't even know if they're going to come back."

Subject: Re: Fragility of the Mind Thu 16 Dec 2010 - 21:41

TK pouted and looked at Leana and Gabrielle with pleading eyes. She stopped though, not wanting to interupt their conversation.

"Videeeeeeooooooooooooooor"

TK stuck her bottom lip out more.

Subject: Re: Fragility of the Mind Thu 16 Dec 2010 - 21:45

"Nope, sorry. You can talk to them after you sleep though, alright? You just need some rest." Videor told her, stroking her forearm,"After all, we need you Tsinanae, and having you bed ridden isn't going to help anyone."

Subject: Re: Fragility of the Mind Thu 16 Dec 2010 - 21:49

TK sighed.

"Fine..."

She curled in a ball and mumbled, "Goodnight girls, see you later if I wake up before you head to bed..."

"When they leave...will you hold me?"

TK then took her locket and nibbled on it, falling asleep once more.

Subject: Re: Fragility of the Mind Thu 16 Dec 2010 - 21:52

"Of course Tsinanae... I had already planned on helping your body relax after todays events." Videor thought back before turning to the other girls and saying,"We can talk in the other room if you'd like Leana."

Subject: Re: Fragility of the Mind Thu 16 Dec 2010 - 21:59

"You're mean you know. I said I was fine but noooooo, no one listens."

TK yawned but kept her eyes closed.

Subject: Re: Fragility of the Mind Thu 16 Dec 2010 - 22:01

Videor chuckled once more as he led everyone else out of the room, closing, and locking the door so that TK may sleep in privacy. Videor however never left her side, but kept his illusion with Leana and Gabrielle.

Current Time: 1:37 PM

(Lame short excuse for nao.)

Nicole came back to Emir's room, sitting on an chair near his bed, looking through his notebook.

Subject: Re: Fragility of the Mind Fri 17 Dec 2010 - 16:12

Udo nodded but had no intention of waiting behind. Alevon had been more than helpful to guide Udo out of the base. Using the outlet mall as a landmark, Udo felt confident he could find his way back to the base whenever he felt the need. Right now, Udo needed to set some affairs in order; Udo didn't have any of the personal effects he had brought with them. All his things were probably still sitting in that wrecked Jaguar, on some wrecker lot in Indiana. In that sense they were long gone, so replacing the essentials was objective number one, followed by a less than savory conversation with Ralf.

As soon as he felt Alevon was out of earshot and distracted he silently slipped away. Maya would likely notice, if she wasn't as distracted as Alevon with his current task, but Udo wasn't worried. This was a personal matter, anyways.

Udo back-tracked in the mall, searching for an ATM. It took some searching but he eventually found one in a little nook just outside a Barnes and Noble retail bookstore. Udo reached in his wallet and produced an international moneycard he had amply loaded before his flight overseas. After slipping it into the machine and temorarily fumbling with menus he withdrew his limit, about five-hundred dollars. After re-counting the funds he folded the crisp bills up and slipped them into his pocket. He nodded before taking the card the machine spit back out and turning to search the mall for what he needed.

As he left he took note, of a thin and dirty young man, maybe a little over sixteen. The kid had been following him since he'd left Alevon and Maya. He noticed him again, strolling around inside that bookstore. Udo knew what was going on, all too well, the only question in his mind? When will he make his move. Udo moved along, stopping at the same wireless store Alevon had just visited, he kept up on the kids location as he thought of ways to offer him an opening and in so fascilitate a more personal encounter with the lad.

Gabrielle felt exhausted just by having been near her depressing friends. She looked at TK one last time and then looked at Leana. "I'm sorry. I really am," she mumbled. "But my heart belongs to Lance." She tried to avoid mentioning the fact that she cheated on him just a couple of days ago with Ariel.

Subject: Re: Fragility of the Mind Fri 17 Dec 2010 - 18:35

Leana's eyes widened, stunned. She swallowed hard and laughed nervously, rubbing the back of ner neck.

"Y-Yeah, of course it does..." she said, trying to stay cool. "I mean, you've been with the guy for a while, and I just showed up here and all eheh." Her eyes were glued to the floor, unable to look Gabrielle in the eyes. Then she cleared her throat and added, "I uh, I have to speak with Videor about something." She quickly stood up and left the room, gripping the hem of her shirt like a vice.

'Dammit... Ariel?'

There was no answer. Leana tried calling to her again but she was only met with silence. She grit her teeth and walked quickly down the hallway, not caring where she ended up.

'Fuck you, too.'

Subject: Re: Fragility of the Mind Fri 17 Dec 2010 - 18:57

Alevon, after speaking with more and more people, goes back to where Udo was.

...hmmm? He's gone...oh well...I'm sure he's alright...

Alevon continues his recruiting all around town

Subject: Re: Fragility of the Mind Fri 17 Dec 2010 - 19:08

Leana would soon be met with Videor's illusion, signaled by the fact that his scars were not on his body,"Hello Leana, you needed something?"

Subject: Re: Fragility of the Mind Fri 17 Dec 2010 - 19:13

Leana's eyes were half closed and her mouth was a hard line, the usual brightness in her eyes and face lost.

"Yeah, I need to get a few things straight," she answered in a cool tone. "It's about Alevon."

Subject: Re: Fragility of the Mind Fri 17 Dec 2010 - 19:15

Videor smiled as he replied,"Sure, what would you like to know about Alevon? I'm an open book."

Subject: Re: Fragility of the Mind Fri 17 Dec 2010 - 19:16

In the same tone of voice, Leana asked, "What has he done to TK?"

Subject: Re: Fragility of the Mind Fri 17 Dec 2010 - 19:24

Videor just stands there a moment before saying,"A lot of things... But the main thing he did was shatter her heart, pick up the pieces, and then broke it again... Even now he tried to get her again. Twice. She refused it twice. As for recently, and it's the reason I'm mad at him, she was attacked by a man of blood, and instead of reversing the attacks that happened, he merely removed the damaged flesh, and didn't even attempt to help her... She almost bled out and died."

Subject: Re: Fragility of the Mind Fri 17 Dec 2010 - 19:29

Leana's eye twitched and she ground her teeth together.

"I knew the bastard wasn't good for her..." she muttered loud enough for Videor to hear. Then she asked, "Has he done anything else?"

Subject: Re: Fragility of the Mind Fri 17 Dec 2010 - 19:33

"Well, he's bashed my skull against a wall, rescued me just to use that against me, is currently dating a cannibal, oh, and greatly offended Gabrielle, saying that everyone in the group were just druggies and what not. That hit her really hard,,, Have been meaning to talk to her about it." Videor replied, a look of neutrality on his face.

Subject: Re: Fragility of the Mind Fri 17 Dec 2010 - 19:34

After much consideration, Udo decided it best to buy something more temporary and settled on a simple yet functional black pre-paid model, as well as enough airtime to last a while. He paid little attention to the service provider, because other than T-Mobile, he didn't recognize any of the other companies. Satisfied with his purchase he left the store.

His eyes shifted slowly as he moved through the mall, stopping at various stores. He bought a small breifcase as well as a simple but sturdy suitcase, before stopping at clothing store to replace his tattered clothing. Beginning to run low on funds already, Udo settled on several graphic t-shirts and a couple pairs of jeans to round out his American wardrobe. All the while that shifty youth continued to tail him.
Too little, too late, mein freunde. I'm broke.

Udo pulled out the phone he had just purchased and began skimming over the activation instructions. He continued to read as he walked out of the store, making effort to near the boy who had been following him. As he passed, reading, he felt the lift; the boy slipped past him and headed in the opposite direction.
And there goes the wallet, and money card.

Udo shrugged with indifference, found a nearby bench and began sorting through his bags; he aranged the clothing in the suitcase and made enough room for the briefcase to slip neatly inside. This arrangement would be easier to carry to be sure. He took the case in his free hand and moved on leading with his cane.

Leana's eyes widened a moment before narrowing to slits.

"He hurt Gabrielle too, huh?" she said in an eerily calm tone of voice.
