"Well... to my knowledge, nobody else here with combat prowess has silver weapons, and I'm not in the mood to drag an escort around this hellhole." He paused. "And, no, fire will not work. Ice, water, lightning, and earth won't, either. Only silver damages them."

He dumped the body on the floor, then pulled back the hair covering his eye, revealing the black sclera and red iris with a gold ring. The demon dissolved away in silver lights as it was sent to the afterlife.

"Could you say that again? Ferris wheels and ghosts?"

Valentine strained to listen. Sound like the actions over just as fast as it began

"Alright, might as well try to get back into the loop." Gesturing Polly to follow along, she went up the stairs to the attic.

Mary backed up a stepped and continued talking to Cyrus, her hands to her side. "You may not have seen it, but earlier, one of the passenger cars on the Ferris wheel came to life and tried to bite me. However, the magician's rabbit attacked it and bit it until it went back to normal."

She took another step back and said, "Unless that rabbit has silver teeth, I don't think all of the spirits are from your world."

Outside, flashes of lightnig were striking up in the sky, like a light show held by Mother Nature. None of the bolts were hitting the ground.

"Looks like we already missed it," Polly said to Valentine when they reached the attic. She saw Mary talking to the exorcist boy from earlier.

"Now what's going on?"

Right, Kiora thought. So they're not undead. Definitely not alive in any sense of the word, though.

"Guess I'll just have to avoid them," Kiora said. The odds of her having to fight her way out of this universe were dwindling. If Kohana did want her to learn a lesson here, it wasn't combat related.

Would her Byakugan be able to spot your demons while they're invisible, Glacia, or am I overstepping here?

Well, the ghosts are made out of pure energy, which is magic in all but name in my 'verse. I'm not sure exactly how the Byakugan works, but if it can see anything chakra-related, it can spot the ghosts and demons. In my 'verse, ghosts can be seen by living people who personally knew the person well in life, exorcists, and the very magically in-tune. If the ghost turns into a demon, only the last two groups of people can see them.

To Mary, he said, "That may be possible."

Cyrus looked over at Polly, his trichromatic eye uncovered. "Oh, I just completed an exorcism. Anything new happen to you?"

Sorry for my partial inactivity. Game of Thrones was on, so...yeah

"Nope, nothing new to me," she said to Cyrus. Polly gestured to Valentine. "We came to he—. Um, we came to see what was going on."

Okay, the Byakugan can see chakra, so I can't fight 'em, but I can at least see 'em.

Kiora stared at Cyrus, trying to get more of a read on him. Shinobi were supposed to be able to see the hidden meanings within the hidden meanings, after all. But she was drawing a blank on this guy every time. His body language suggested he was cocky, perhaps too confident in his own abilities. He moved with practiced grace, but then, he was fighting monsters, it wasn't unexpected.

OOC: I aplogize for ninjas, but I'm putting more effort into what I'm good at. Also, what do you think of the name for the spirits? I'm going to use them in a future work (see the "Is This Character Interesting?" Thread.

Mary turned her head away from the entrance to the attic and walked away, assuming a relaxed posture, "I'll be getting the stuff I need to search the carnival." she said.

She went back into her study to retrieve her flashlight. As she was carrying it out, she was pondering what was happening. Her thoughts were swirling around her mind. She had been very calm, not screaming like a sterotypical damsel in distress on TV. However, something horrible down the line might happen, like someone may die. Or the carnival may be razed to the ground.

"Those spirits..." she thought, "Why are they so familar...? Why...?"

As she walked slowly down the stairs, sliding her fingers against the dry rail. The black flashlight felt heavy in her hands, and it was sturdy. She could use it as a melee weapon, if she couldn't reach her gun on time. Being the weakest person in the carnival made her an easy target for whatever was out there. Perhaps if she showed them who was in charge, the spirits would recede.

Halfway down the stairs, a name popped into her head.

A Manifestation. The Ferris wheel monster was a Manifestation.

She stopped cold at the bottom of the stairs, a shock going up her spine. Dread was upon her. The rain...the gray skys...the decayed state of what was used to be cheery...it was perfect for the spirits. They must been drawn out by the melancholy of the place, what she thought of it. The spirits were feeding on her sense of paranoia...and guilt. Maybe she was finally paying for what she failed to do, and she was going to take all of the visitors with her.

She shook off the feeling and headed towards the entryway, where her leather jacket and black umbrella was hanging on the wall. That was one theory she didn't want to prove.

Ooh, feeding on paranoia. I like that.

"Well, now you know what was going on." he said to Polly with a smirk.

Cyrus headed outside to search for more spirits to exorcise.

He turned back to the people who had come to see what he was doing.

"Oh. As long as you guys stay out of my way and don't accidentally attack me or something, I don't really care what you do."

"Well," Polly said, putting her hands on her hips and matching Cyrus' argumentative tone. "I guess the two of us won't be sharing cookies anytime soon."

Valentine laughed a Polly's actions before addressing Cyrus. "Don't you know how stories go? It's always the ones who seperate from the group that get killed by the baddies." She smiled a bit before continuing. "And I don't think being a heavenly carny will help you much if you get attacked without someone to help you out."

Cyrus stopped.

"...What the fuck brought you to the conclusion that I'm a carny?"

Kiora raised an eyebrow. This was an odd turn of events. Carny? Was Valentine blind or did she just like picking fights?

Valentine smiled as she began to speak, "Well, for one, you look quite unusual. Two I first saw you on the carnival grounds. And three? Well..." She chuckled to herself, "The image amuses me to no end."

Sorry again. Celebrity Apprentice. Anyway.

Polly smiled at Valentine and Cyrus. This probably wasn't going to end well, but it was sure fun to watch.

Kiora spun her kunai by the ring on the handle. Choosing which of the two to back up in a fight was easy; Valentine was far more pleasant to be around.

Cyrus' eyes narrowed.

"Hm. I didn't know Earthen carnival employees were armed with silver weapons and hooded cloaks. I feel so behind the times."

"Wait, you guys," Polly said, stepping in the middle of the group. "Mary could come in any minute now with all of that stuff. You remember her rule: no fighting. Let's not do this now." She turned to Cyrus. "Now, to the Boy-Currently-Thought-To-Be-A-Carny. We are not trying to get in the way of your goals or duties. We just want to know what's going on here. We want to help."

Mary walked up the stairs, wearing a leather jacket and spinning an umbrella around two fingers, and held her flashlight in her other hand. She was wearing a dark red backpack over her shoulders.

She leaned her right elbow on top of the rail and said, "Are you guys going to argue or start looking?"

OOC: By the way, can you tell me what type of character you think Mary is? It sometimes takes me awhile to figure out the personality of a character, based on how they react.

Valentine smirked. "Don't worry. I'll be a good girl from here on out." She paused a moment and tapped her chin in mock thought.

"Well, more or less of course."

Kiora slid her kunai back into its holster. "What are we supposed to be looking for, exactly?" She pulled out the map she had received and stared down at it.

Cyrus was already searching around for the source of the faint paranormal feeling he was picking up on.

He couldn't tell exactly from what direction it was coming from, so he kept walking down the main street of the carnival, in hopes that he could narrow it down.

Someone like Amy would've pinpointed it immediately, but she's been an exorcist for over a century.
