Phantom stood awe-stricken.

"Sir, do you want me to continue looking after the rest of the contestants for anything out of the ordinary?" Phantom said in his soft tone.

hands still in his pockets, Phantom walked over to Orchestartor-John and glanced at the country side standing next to him. "I'm not sure what I saw today, I think it was you. But I'm not entirely sure what it was." After saying that, Phantom simply wrapped his arm around Tick and walked through the portal.

"It was.", a voice replied, trailing after them through the portal.

Gear glanced at Tyke as she stirred.

"Well, if you guys in the mood to give out information, why don't you start by explaining why our resident child soldier has wind powers now?"

Key looked down in alarm at Tyke's thrashing, and tried to calm her.

"I... Honestly don't know. Apparently, whoever had the Moon is dead and whoever killed them decided to deliver it to our door." There was no trace of deception in his voice. The truth was the truth, after all.

"By my guess? Spades is dead, and she has his card."

It's kind of funny. Sufficiently advanced stupidity is like sufficiently advanced science; eventually, you find something you can't solve.

Cross continued to heal Tyke, and didn't appear to be suffering as a result of it. Presumably, there were no negative side effects to his healing—he didn't get exhausted, or take on his, "patient's," pain, and it didn't seem to strain him.

All in all, Cross decided, power good pretty a.

He tensed a bit as he waited for one of his new found, "Allies," to attack him—whomever his hunter was—and felt a bit guilty as he breathed a sigh of relief when none of them did. True, killing him was wrong, but he should have been prepared for death. He had promised himself that no one would die for his sake, and as a result should have embraced death, as if it were an old friend.

And yet...

He wanted to survive. No, it was more than that. He wanted to live. Wanted to experience the life he had forgotten, wanted to regain his memories*

, wanted to be someone.

And so Cross was prepared for death, yet at the same time afraid of it.

You know what I hate? Hypocrites. That and obscure self-referential statements.

Wolf stood silently, his arms crossed and eyes closed as he listened to the situation he had just heard this morning recounted.

He began to plead to Key- no, Engel -mentally, to not tell them of his fate, as he kept his eye on the young man.

Please don't say that I'll die. I can't let Dolphin grow depressed. The poor kid has already gone through enough... please! He doesn't need to know right now!

He kept his perpetually solid demeanor, doing his best to not seem uncomfortable.

Back at the door where they were teleported, Phantom knocked on the door a second time, hoping for Demon to answer.

"Demon, May I have a word please?" Phantom said quietly

(OOC: Damnit i was ninja'd oh well ill put it in anyways) Before they walk through the portal she sets her precious pocket watch on the ground next to the orchestrator. "Demon!" She throws open the door and runs up to him crying and hugs him tightly.

Demon opens. "Oh good you're alive. So what happened?"

He of course hugs Tick and gives her a kiss on the head.

"Really." So Spade was The Moon, Tyke's hunter, and apparently dead. Huh. How had that happened? The guy had been just fine yesterday…

Gear briefly glanced at Wolf. The Moon had been his target. Maybe…

"Well, that explains that, I guess. Sort of. Next question: Key, how did you find you out I was Prosecution's target?"

"My name I know my name. Also the games creator is a man by the name of John. He's hurt. I think the other's went to kill him and failed but he was hurt. I wanted so badly to try to fix his wounds but more importantly to fix this." She throws her hands out looking at the room around her. "And this." She points to her collar. "The other's have left us on our own it seems and ventured some were else. Oh god Demon I'm scared i'm so scared. Its the three of us against all of them"

"Hang on. I'll come back with Demon and Tick. They need to know this too." He appeared just outside their room. He didn't seem very surprised to see Phantom. "Hey you two. I had something to take care of. Just follow me. Key and I will explain everything."

"The Orchestrator is the one who saved my life when I was nearly killed that night a certain lawyer went crazy. When I came to, I immediately found my way into his office and made an attempt on his life. but was unable to. When I let slip about... Recovering..."

He seemed to not want to elaborate on this part much, but persevered, "I... Remembered something a bit traumatic... And then the Orchestrator restored my memories. In exchange, I was to aid you and Tyke in eliminating Prosecution. I had no good reason to object- Prosecution had needlessly put others in danger, and this provided me with an opportunity to single the Orchestrator out for an attack later. He's the one that told me you were Prosecution's target, Gear. I apologize for not sharing this with you sooner."

"Depends. We need to see if Prosecution is alive. He could be convincing the others against Key. Also... YOUR NAME!? What is it!? Wait you wanted to heal the Orchestrator!? WHY"

Demon then waves. "And there he is. What is it?"

Phantom, still standing there. at the door.

"No thanks necessary." He said quietly.

Phantom turned to walk away when Prosecution appeared.

She sighs " It's Lillian. That and my watch it was my brothers but i promise that's all I can remember. I felt bad he's just an ordinary man and despite the fact that he's the one whom put us into this situation I feel that maybe it wasn't his choice. Why would he have let me know my name? Why would he tell me his and let me know that he personally doesn't like the name Orchestrator?" She looks over at prosecution. "You left us why should we go with you? You could be planning to kill us." She takes demons hand and walks through as well.

"I left you for about five minutes. The rest of the time, I was fighting for my life as the other players, and the orchestrator, tried to kill me." He followed them through.

"Hey guys. I brought the others. OH! Guys, about the newest guy!" he said, gesturing to Cross. "Don't say the letter that comes after "S", and don't start a sentence with it."

Phantom silently walks through the rift behind them as Prosecution told those two.

"Lets hope its not a slaughter waiting to happen" He said quietly

"Lillian. Beautiful name for a beautiful woman."

He smiles. "Please trust Prosecution. We need all we can."

He chuckles. "Almost made the new guy mad."
