Working With Phantoms

Getting On the Trail

August 24th

Madran arrived in the Velvet Room to see that only Sheila was missing. Upon coming to this realization, Madran went up to Suga.

"Hey, Suga, do you know what happened to Sheila?"

"Honestly, no, not really. Uh, last thing I heard, she was hanging with Haru."

"Oh, right, her. Well, I guess that we'll just wait, and-"

Madran heard a door opening and looked over to see Sheila walking into the Velvet Room.

"Oh, hey, Sheila."

"Hello. Sorry for taking so long, I was a bit busy."

"That's fine."

Madran looked around at everyone and nodded.

"Well, now that we're here, let's get moving and try and finish up our business in the Schwarzwelt."

The group then returned to the Red Sprite via the Universe door, with Madran once more seeing that the bridge was vacant and quiet.

"Ok, well, we're back, and everyone's asleep again. Let's be quiet, and sneak out to continue our search."

The group then left the ship and entered Fornax once more, with Sheila breathing a sigh of relief.

"Oh, thank goodness, I'm actually glad to be back here."

"Same. Hey, let's move. I can take everyone to the latest terminal with Butterfly's help, so, Butterfly..."

Madran looked at Philemon and nodded, with him then transporting them all to the latest terminal. Then, Madran began to scan once more.

"Ok, so, now that we killed Orcus yesterday when you two weren't here, we now have, I believe, one more target left in the form of that invisible entity that not even Margaret and Elizabeth could attack."

"Yeah, we should have a plan for it. Maybe, a few of us lure it out, and then you scan and potentially reveal it?"

"Sounds cool. Let's move, everyone!"

"Going so soon?"

Madran picked what appeared to be Jimenez's signal and looked back to see him approaching them.

"Oh, hey there. I assume that now, since you're all Bugaboo-ified, you don't need Demonica?"

"Yeah. I'm actually supposed to be back at sick bay, but, eh, it's boring there, it's all just tests and crap."

"Hmm. Fwoosh, make way."

Madran stepped aside for Philemon.

"I will be back with you seven momentarily. Now, Jimenez, as you said, you're supposed to be back on the Red Sprite. It pains me to treat you like a young child dodging their bedtime, but-"

"What are you going to do, send me to hell?"

"No. I shall simply expend some of my deific power to warp our physical bodies back to your home."

"What?"

"Away we go..."

Philemon then warped him and Jimenez away, with Madran turning back to the group.

"Uh, anyways, no more Butterfly, but, let's go."

Madran then led everyone down to the next floor, where she walked up to the large hallway where she was attacked by the odd figure yesterday. Then, she began to scan the area.

"Ok, the odd signal's there, and is approaching us. Two of you, go to apprehend it!"

Yorick and Persephone then went forwards, with Persephone suddenly intercepting an invisible attack before grabbing the air and holding onto something. Yorick then avoided more rather audible swipes before grabbing something else. Persephone then looked over at Madran.
