Ooh. Angry people. William watches, really interested now, and comes closer.

A tall man with black hair and bandages over his empty eye sockets appears seemingly out of nowhere, far from the argumment. He wears a fine wool coat and waistcoat. He taps his ebony cane on the ground and reaches out with his mind, trying to find people that can tell him about his surroundings.

Oh, that little boy Bianca took a liking to is there. Well, Damian hasn't met him yet, and he isn't looking forward to it. What's this? A fight?

Damian examines the memories of the bystanders. Oh, this is rich. He burrows deeper in the mind of the little boy and uses his sight to figure out where Damian is in relation to the group. Once this is done, he begins making his way to them, tapping his cane every once in a while to keep up the impression that he is an ordinary blind man, not a psychic.

Vancer's eyes grew wide at the hands at his neck. He clawed at them, and he suddenly glowed a vibrant pink, and the chains from his pants ripped off their felt hooks, and promptly whipped at the man with hands around Vancer's neck.

"The hell..." Vancer rasped out, as the chains grew longer and started to attempt to constrict the other man's own neck.

Liena's eyes widened, and her two dolls suddenly went behind Michael, in a split second reaction, but they did not do anything.

Michael's eyes widened as he saw chains start moving. "What the—" was all he managed to get out before they wrapped around him. He dropped the idiot after a few seconds, then fell to the ground and started grabbing at the chains around his neck. He looked up at the other man, his face showing rage but not outright hatred.

Can I get some kind of physical description of Vancer?

"Whoa, whoa, hey," said Cornelius forcefully. He pushed himself up, pulled Michael to his feet and interposed himself between Michael and Vancer as best he could; Vancer's chains were partially blocking him. "There is no need for this to come to violence," he said angrily.

He glared at Michael. "You. Just because he doesn't take a psychological issue all that seriously doesn't mean you get to attack him." He whipped around to Vancer. "And you. Yes, he attacked you, but that doesn't give you the right to do the same to him. An overreaction on a touchy issue. Would you please release him?"

As he spoke, Cornelius tentatively extended his senses to the chains, to see if he could get them to release Michael. No dice. Whatever magic was in them, it was stronger or more complicated than something he could hope to break swiftly.

Rich.

Damian taps his cane on the ground. "What is this madness?"

William sits still and watches.

Alex hid behind the blind man. Whatever this was, this was not good. This was supposed to be a holy place, or whatever, but if one was not going to fight here, where were the going to? They could have at least waited until he left.

He poked the blind man on the shoulder, but as soon as he did he didn't know what he was going to say.

Damian jabs into the mind of the older boy. At least Bianca didn't run into someone like him. She wouldn't like him very much. Really—

He ignores the poke on the shoulder, occupied with delving into Alex's thought process and muttering comments or chuckling to himself every so often.

That was... what was that?

Alex blinked and flinched, and tried to shrug the feeling off, and poked the man again, even though he still didn't have anything to say.

I'm going to go ahead and guess that Alex's brain looks pretty weird, but then again, if he's used to William...

He noticed. Damian withdraws slightly, but remains in Alex's mind, utilizing his sight so he can know what's going on. In the meantime, he probes into William's.

If Damian had to compare minds to something, they would be music, or fine wine. William's mind is a piano echoing through a maze. Bianca's is a quartet in a frivolously decorated ballroom with excellent acoustics, producing a robust sound. He isn't sure what sort of analogy he could make with Alex's. He has a feeling that string instruments would be prominent.

Alex curled and uncurled his hands into fists. He was supposed to be saying something, right? Something was supposed to be said, right?

"I don't think this is the best place to be," said Alex. Somehow, Alex had gained a finely-tuned sense of danger. Right now he could barely think his mind was blaring about it so loudly.

Well, Alex is actually talking to him now. Damian sighs withdraws a little.

"Why shouldn't we be here?" He tightens his grip on his cane. "If you mean this fight—"

Damian takes a moment to examine the magic being utilized.

"— I think these people will be mature enough to stop before I need to intervene. And I don't think they want that."

He makes a sharp jab into all of their minds to emphasize that point.

"I don't think they're going to listen to you," said Alex. "I mean I wouldn't."

He took a particularly long pause. A very, very long pause, so much so that one would have probably not figured out the last thing he said.

"No offense."

He paused again, looking off into another direction, looking at nothing in particular.

"I mean one of those is a ghost who hasn't 'ascended' even though it's his goddamned duty to for the rest of us. And everyone else is worse. It's not like they're going to listen to you."

"Ghost?" He did sense something off. "Well... I suppose we should step away from them."

Damian does so. "You. Boy with the glasses."

William looks up. He's blind. How does he know what's going on?

"Get away from them." Damian sighs. Bianca would be very upset if he got hurt.

"You can't see," William says flatly.

"I have other ways of seeing."

William glances at the fight and decides that there isn't really anything to be gained from staying here. He gathers up his things and scurries behind Damian.

Alex took a step back. Maybe somebody actually made sense here sort of after all. At least, they understood the inherent awfulness of ghosts.

But then again there was also something off...

"Do you have a tylenol?" asked Alex. "I just got this massive headache." He knew headache wasn't the right word and a tylenol probably wouldn't do anything but there was something wrong that needed fixing. Maybe a shower.

#390: Nov 19th 2011 at 10:59:32 PM

Tylenol? What in the world was that? Damian finds the idea in Alex's mind, still on the surface, and follows its threads until he figures out what it is.

"Sorry, I don't carry medicine wherever I go," Damian says.

William is still clueless, but he doesn't feel like talking anymore today, so he doesn't ask why Tylenol is. He curls up on the ground and purrs very convincingly.

Damian continues the slow dissection of William's thought process. He has mixed feelings about letting his sister remain friends with him. On one hand, he seems insane. On the other, the insanity seems harmless. Cautiously, he spirals deeper into William's mind.

"Are you sure?" asked Alex. Of course he was sure, this was a stupid question, but he had to ask anyway. There was this gnawing feeling at the back of his head... unclean, unclean, unclean, that he knew he couldn't speak a word to anyone about. Tylenol wouldn't take care of the words, he knew, but it would take care of the gnaw.

Brittany looked over to the man with the cane speaking to William and Alex.

"Hmm... a blind man has arrived."

Upon hearing what Brittany had to say, Noah muttered;

"He's not blind..."

Brittany dismissed Noah comment for his usual craziness, and made her way over to him, outstretching her arm for a handshake before realising that he probably wouldn't notice.

"Hello sir, my name is Brittany. Pleased to meet you."

Am, seeing that the action was going on in another place, collapsed into a ball of white light and slowly floated over to the others. It looked like some kind of fight or argument was going on. Luckily, he thought, they can't touch me. Literally.

Still, when he turned back into a human, he made sure to do it a little bit away from the others. The closer he got to the pool, the more powerful he felt. There had to be some connection... However, now the others had different problems. "What's going on here?" Am asked them.

Hm hm hm-hm hm-hmmmm hm hm-hm! Kali hummed to herself, bottle in hand and skip in her step. Actually, check that. She raised the bottle to her lips, and took a swig, the apple rum burning a hole in her throat as she drank. An empty bottle in hand and a skip in her step, Kali continued on her way down the lightly frosted sidewalk.

Ah, fall. Three months covering three separate holidays of non-stop eating, fucking, and binge drinking (which may or may have had something to do with the fucking). Fuck Christmas, to Kali, this was the most wonderful time of the year.

She dug around in the large tote swinging at her elbow. "Oktoberfest" was emblazoned on the side, accompanied by the cute image of a stick figure lain out over a bar with a bunch of empty mugs (meaning he was still probably only half as plastered as she was right now). Through the thick cloth of the bag, a faint tinkling could be heard. Fishing out another bottle, this one wrapped to the mouth in a paper bag, Kali lackadaisicaly tossed the empty vessel at the nearest trash can/hobo, and unwrapped the new one. To her surprise and delight, it was a bottle of Paulaner, the crown jewel of Munich.

Oh Oktoberfest, how I love you! Cracking open the Paulaner, Kali raised the bottle in mock toast, and knocked back half in one go. Sweet like honey and warm like a hearth, the Paulaner sloshed its merry little way down her throat, warming her to the core.

"Man, the locals in this realm sure do know how to make a girl happy!" She raised the bottle once more, intending to slam down the rest of the bottle, but sadly it was not to be. Heavy metal split the air like a guillotine, and she hacked up the rest of the Paulaner all over herself. Goddammit, who could possibly be... right, heavy metal. Had to be Michael.

Scowling at eleven perfectly good ounces of happiness gone to waste, she reached into her pocket and undid the iPhone's slide lock. Looks like he'd sent her a text.

Sorry Kali, something's come up. I'll meet up with you later. Just try to keep yourself entertained in a way that doesn't get the police involved.

"Son of a bitch." Check that. Most of the locals knew how to make a girl happy.

Shit if she knew what she was gonna do. Her only plans for the day had been to drag Michael out to this new pub she'd heard about downtown and see how much of the food he could keep in him when they went to see that Thing prequel (it looked kinda shit, but it didn't really take much to set Michael off). With Michael off doing whatever it was Michael did when she wasn't having fun with him (more emphasis on with than with him), she'd just have to think of something on her own. Something that didn't involve five chickens, a batch of LSD, and the marching band from Michael's school, because God knows he really bitched about that one.

Thumbing the maps app on her phone, she stumbled across something curious. It was a memorial, no more than five blocks down the road. Well, it wasn't like she had anything better to do. Sliding thr phone back in her pocket, she set off.

Vancer and Liena

Vancer's eyes widened. "Shit shit. Dammit. Sorry, man. That was totally a reflex." He felt where his neck was. He was pretty pissed at the guy for trying to choke him, but he wasn't about to try and excuse that for almost going all chain-rambo on his ass.

...

Chain-rambo?

What the hell did that mean?

Oh well, not important.

What was he...OH RIGHT! The dude.

Vancer flicked a finger, and the chains shrunk, writhed away, and disappeared, with the original chain hooking nicely back onto his pants.

Liena walked up to Michael, and held up her hand, to help him up.

Rounding the corner onto 17th St., Kali spotted the stairs that lead up to the plaza. As luck would have it, some asshole had roped them off. The signs said "WARNING: FROST". Kali said fuck that.

"Alley-oop." She hoisted herself over the chains, boots grinding against the ice. Still following the blinking dot on her phone's map, Kali decided to have a word with her new stone friend. "Well, let's get a look-see at ya. Supposedly you're pretty impressive. I wonder why Michael never said anything about you before."

Stepping over the last of the stone steps, Kali finally saw the monument in all its glory. And immediately realized why Michael had (wisely) kept his mouth shut.

"It's a giant dick..." She said flatly. "... AHAHAHAHA OH WOW! AHAHAHA! HEY, UNCLE SAM! MIGHT WANNA TONE IT DOWN A BIT WITH THE VIAGRA! AHAHAHA!" Rolling on the ground in drunken hysterics, Kali was certainly a sight to see.

"Oh man..." Wiping a tear from her eye, she sat up, practically sopping wet from the snow and sleet. She just didn't know what to say anymore. Who builds a memorial shaped like a -

WORLD WAR II MEMORIAL PLAZA

Plaza? She looked down another flight of stairs. Just a few flights below was a massive fountain surrounded by pillars. Looking closely, she could make some of the names inscribed on them, as well as some dates. The hell...

Checking her phone again, she quickly spotted the error. The giant phallus in the distance was actually the Washington monument. This was the memorial.

"Oh..." That was... unfortunate. Meh. "Well, let's see where the party's at."

Damian sighs. "I sense a drunkard coming."

William pulls on his trousers. "Sir, you can't see."

"As I said, I have different ways of seeing." Damian pulls his leg free from the boy and sighs again. "What the bloody hell is this place? Magic users, immortals, the walking dead, drunkards, and severely unbalanced children— where am I?"

Brittany turned towards Damien. "You're at the World War II Memorial... and no, it usually doesn't get these kinds of visitors... at least, I don't think it does." Noah noticed the drunken woman entering the Memorial, but deciding not to try to take advantage of her in any way. Brittany would kill him if he did, so he decided to wait on the bench, hoping someone would come to him.
