Voltie — The Dude Posted 3 years ago ( 2021/09/22 06:08:09 )
Forgive, O Lord,
my little jokes on thee...

Jake was silent, before shaking his head again.

"All right, all right." he said.

He then took a few shaky steps forward, closer towards her, before throwing his arms around her in a hug.

"...I missed you." he whispered.

"There's so much I wanted to say while that was happening, but I couldn't." he went on.

"I'm glad we're both still here."

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

Anya returned the embrace.

"I know." She commented. "I could feel it, feel your soul, kind of get a readon on your mindset." She commented.

"Along with that, I did give you some freedom, but I don't think you remember it. My webbing still affected you for awhile." She added.

"However, it didn't work much."

"Well, it worked a BIT." he responded.

"And that's not nothing." he said.

"For... whatever that may be worth." he then mumbled.

"Anyway, you go report back to Hal." he told her, releasing the hug.

"I'm going to stay here and effectively wait until I'm feeling like I'm whole again."

Anya nodded before stepping back.

"Good idea." She commented.

"I'll come let you know what's going on, once I know." She added.

"Talk to you soon." Was the last thing she said before giving him a quick kiss and heading out, making her way back up to Hal's office.

Jake watched her go, before laying down again.

"...this was too close..." he mumbled. "She's getting dangerously close to probably finally getting us out of the way..." he lamented.

Anya then made her way to Hal's office, where she saw him hang up his phone.

He looked over towards her, and smiled weakly.

"Hollie seems fine." he reported.

"Suffering the same as I am, but she's whole again."

"So it's not just the building." Anya commented as she stepped into the room proper.

"Meaning that Arryn and Virgil should be good too, of course. WHERE are they, anyway? If you happen to know?" She asked.

"I haven't seen them at all while I was going through the place."

Hal paused and thought for a moment.

"I... don't know, actually." he admitted.

"I guess... no, they'd have separate secured dorm rooms...? Maybe...?" he mumbled.

"I don't know, Anya." he lamented.

"Admittedly, I haven't known a lot about what's been happening in this building for a while." he continued.

"Maybe try the dorms. It's possible they were having fun in one of them."

Anya just laughed.

"Yeah. Fair." She commented.

"And if they're busy, I'd much rather not interrupt." She admitted after a few seconds.

"really don't want to get roped into that for the moment."

"Hm." Hal mumbled.

"Though if the same thing happened to them, odds are it may have interrupted. Or... perhaps they are in no shape to do so." he reasoned.

He then just sighed and shook his head, before snapping his fingers.

"Well, there's ONE way to find out." he told her.

"You can wish for one of us to know the locations and status of all those currently in the Unit." he suggested.

"That shouldn't be interrupted or blocked off."

Anya was silent for a moment, considering what he'd said.

"Eh, sure." She said.

"I wish to know the location of every soul within this building." She stated simply, clearly and precisely before pausing.

"And what they are currently doing." She added. If Arryn and/or Virgil needed help, she wwanted to know. IF they were busy, she didn't want to interrupt.

Hal nodded in response.

"Granted." he said, snapping his fingers.

With that, she received a rush of information, but two things were notable.

One was that Virgil and Arryn probably needed a checkup by a medical team, or at least Arryn did. Thanks to what had been happening, neither had been taking very good care of each other, but Virgil was faring better, being a demon. And that they were in one of the dorms.

The second was that Jordan was essentially rendered in static, which she mentally crashed into like a wall.

The information about Arryn and Virgil was good, most definitely useful, as was the position and current state for everyone else.

Well, everyone aside from Jordan.

That wall, the impact caused her to stagger back, collapsing onto the loveseat he had in his office, barely able to see straight for the moment. She most certainly couldn't get anything quickly, and just her head in her hands for the moment, trying to, hoping to, get some sense of anything again. Well, anything aside from the pain she felt racking through her body and mind from that. She was already not in the best of shapes, that static interference was not something she could deal with, at all, for the moment.

Hal saw what happened, and he KNEW what that meant. And he cursed.

"Oh, God damn it." he growled.

He then went to his minifridge and shifted through the contents, before going to Anya and handing her a bottle of water.

"Here." he said. "This should help." he told her.

"At the very least, it should make this manageable." he added, unscrewing the top for her.

"I'm sorry, I thought that wish would be safe." he then apologised.

Anya didn't say anything for a few seconds, before accepting the water bottle.

"...... thanks." She said quietly, pain in her voice.

"And I should have known." She added. "I was JUST mentioning Jordan to Sebastien earlier."

Hal just shook his head.

"Figures." he said.

"Seems Encrae STILL had her claws in Jordan." he growled.

"So did you get ANYTHING?" he asked.

"Or has Jordan barred off ALL information?"

"Oh. I can tell you where everyone is." Anya answered, taking a drink of the water he'd handed her.

"Including Arryn and Virgil both of which seriously needing food." She told him.

"Jordan on the other hand, I saw her face, and then that damned static."

"Ugh." Hal groaned.

"At least you got the majority." he said.

"We'll need to keep HER quarantined away, but if everyone else is back to normal, then we can reopen the Unit fully, and completely end this lockdown." he then stated, but then paused.

"...and Aedan." he muttered.

"I have NO idea how to help her..."

"Well, Rev's soul IS there. But it needs to be restitched." Anya told him honestly.

"Which ... is going to be more difficult than I think Kiah has any idea for." She added. "She's got no experience with souls like that.... although maybe her rune could help."

"... I wonder if that could work..."

Hal just crossed his arms over his chest, and thought a moment.

"Perhaps..." he mumbled.

"That could work. In theory, anyway." he said. "...which is all we HAVE right now." he lamented quietly.

"But we'll need to discuss it with her, obviously." he went on.

"Still, we should be on the right track with the rune line of thinking."

"Once I don't feel like there's a jackhammer on every atom of my being, I'll head down there and ask." Anya commented.

"However, I don't think there's so much of a risk now." She added.

"Jordan's still affected by the elf, but that came from the camera, not her soul." She continued, "So that doesn't surprise me. It does seem like everyone else is good, barring the zombie."
