Come on, come on...
Serana: Bad move -Raises her hands, a mass of frost gathering in one and a red glow filling the other. She concentrates for a moment before casting them towards the gargoyles-
-The gargoyles continue trying to run forwards through the barrage of frost-
It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.Dimhallow Crypt
-Dune tries fitting the bladed gauntlet back on his left hand, but it fails to fit due to the wrappings and swelling from the wound.-
Dune: Ow ow dammit ow... Eos! C'mon, buddy! Iron Head!
-Deziree eventually decides that the excessive amount of ice-based attacks isn't giving her the returns she was looking for and pulls out her crossbow. She aims down the bolt for a headshot, and fires at the nearest gargoyle.-
Dimhallow Crypt
-Deziree loads a new bolt into her crossbow, with some wrestling.-
Deziree: Dammit, this thing's so freaking impractical indoors! I need to fix this!
Dune: Eos, please! They're like robots, only made of stone!
Eos: <Ah... ah... alright... I... I think I can...>
Dune: Alright then, Iron Head!
-The Mawile runs forward, swinging his horns around wildly, hoping for a lucky hit.-
Dimhallow Crypt
-Eos tilts his head, a "o_o" face plastered on him.-
Dune: Uh... I guess...? Anyway, let's get out of here. I think I need some antibiotics, or a Heal Pulse or two from Selene.
Deziree: And I need to get a hold of some composite material...
Eos: <S-so... where are we... going? How about... th-those stairs over there?>
Cyllage
Locke was prepped up and ready to go, but thought he'd limp by Mrs.Hartlet's house and give back her Keystone.
He was just about to knock on her door when she opened it for him.
She stood there, a shocked expression on her face, as she said:" Inspector Argent? I was just coming to see you. What are you doing out of bed? You should be resting."
Locke noticed the basket of cookies on her arm. He solemnly said:"The doctor's let me off early, miss. I'm here to return this." He pulled the Keystone out of his pocket and handed it to her. She took it graciously, but after seeing his expression, said," What's wrong? Come inside...come inside..."
Once they were both on the sofa, and Ms.Hartlet had firmly pressed a mug of cocoa into his hands, Locke was telling her what happened, and then, after some encouragement from her, told her his story. By the end, she was dabbing her eyes with a hankerchief. She then turned to Locke and asked softly," So what now?"
"Now I must go get Geo and Denise, and then I'm either going to leave this region or turn my badge in. I'm not worthy of it," he rubbed his locket, that had a photo of him and his parents in it, "I failed my parents."
"Locke," she said, and he looked at her in surprise. Very few called him that, most called him Argent, due to his silver eyes, or just "kid". " "Locke," she continued," the first fall is always the hardest. But you can't give up, you have to keep on going, learn from every fall, get stronger. You've lost your drive for revenge, get a new drive, a drive for justice. But whatever you do, don't give up," she hugged him," and your parents, wherever they may be, will always be proud of you."
Locke was crying, he hugged her back, and murmured, "thank you".
She took his X-Transceivier, and added her number to it, so that she may be able to call him if needed. She also pressed the Keystone back into his hand."Don't worry, keep it safe, use it as a lucky charm You'll need it more than I do right now. Plus, I originally had two in the set, I had kept the other one on my person, keep that one with you, please."
Locke then said goodbye to her, hugging her again, and then got into his jeep to head on way to Courmarine.
He brought out Axel and Mirror, who got into the backseats, and then plugged his iPhodex into the stereo, and he drove away, chanting "I'm back, yes I'm back....

Hotel Richissime - Yesterday
Lyuri was in her hotel room, getting ready to sleep when Duke arrived.
"Oh hey Duke. You missed the meeting, I envy you." said Lyuri, casually.
Duke just lies down on the bed and sighs, looking troubled and making Lyuri raise an eyebrow.
"Did something to you?" asked Lyuri
Duke shakes his head and simply tries to fall asleep
"... Maybe he's just tired. I guess he ended up wandering all around the place." thought Lyuri, sighing.
Hotel Richissime
Lyuri wakes up to the sound of knocking on her door, she notices that Duke had already left and goes open the door, meeting up with Sakura.
"Hey sis, wanna practice singing before the meeting resumes? Considering what happened yesterday, we gotta get in a good mood prior to it." said Sakura, with a surprisingly cheerful smile
"Uh... Sure. By the way have you seen Duke around?" asked Lyuri
Sakura's expression changes to one of concern "Yeah. I saw him and said hi, but he just ignored me and walked out of the hotel. He seemed like there was something bothering him..."
Lyuri sighs "Guess I'll talk with him later about it... So... Let's do that then." she said, looking thoughtful.

Dimhallow Crypt
Dune: You know what, screw it! C'mon, Eos!
-Dune tosses a Pokeball, and the Mawile takes the field(?) with a rather pitiable battle cry. The battle cry turns into a cry of terror as he witnesses the animate stone monstrosities approaching.-
Dune: They're just statues with a nasty disposition - Iron Head.
-Deziree, however, shoots the front-most gargoyle with her freeze ray, trying to at least slow it down.-
