Important Announcement

had asked a few people to come to a little, unimportant meeting. Her and Helen were sitting next to each other, and Elaina looked really scared and nervous. They argued softly for a moment, and Elaina obviously lost.* uh... *she was really nervous, stuttering and basically saying nothing*
 * Elaina

'''Jasper Jekyll:''' ( The Gem leans back in her chair, her large boots propped up upon the table. The wood groans beneath her weight. )

'''Ms Elaina Hyde:'''  Hey Jasper... *>~<*

'''Jasper Jekyll:'''  ( She nods casually. ) Hey

Dr. Helen Jekyll:  *Helen tilted her head at the sight of the orange giant, curiosity in her eyes, though she knew better than to ask questions... She'd hate to offend the creature. Though she tried not to stare, something about the giant seemed more and more familiar the longer she looked.*

'''Jasper Jekyll:'''  ( She looks up at Helen, her lip curling into a slightly amused smirk when she notices her stare. )

Dr. Helen Jekyll:  *Helen blushed and adverted her gaze, still feeling something tug at the back of her mind. Where had she seen them before...?*

Dr. Jekyll II ( Mother Hen ): ( Having been around the block, the doctor takes his seat. He says nothing, an action very unusual for a man of great social status. He instead flashes Elaina an encouraging smile. )

'''Ms Elaina Hyde:'''  *Elaina smiled back, looking scared*

Dr. Jekyll II ( Mother Hen ):  ( He winks, in turn. )

Hyde without a Jekyll: *Not-Allison is quietly sitting in the corner avoiding eye contact with everyone.* Ms Elaina Hyde: *Elaina noticed her lack of eye contact and let her be. She knew how it felt when someone talked to you when you wanted to be ignored*

'''Miss Jekyll and Miss Hyde:'''  Dreamer and Nex walked in to the library and sat down.

'''Ms Elaina Hyde:'''  Hey Dreamer... And Nex... *smiles and waves nervously*

'''Miss Jekyll and Miss Hyde:'''  "Hey" They said.

Tairais:  This was starting to get ridiculous. Richard swore the halls of the Society must have a mind of their own, for he somehow never managed to find the kitchen or his room the same way twice. As he rounded a corner for the fourth time in as many minutes, he glanced down the hallway and noticed a semi-familiar door. Sighing in relief he limped over to it, leg aching something fierce now that he had been up and about for several hours. Gently nudging it open, he barely maintained a hold over his facial expression, exasperation quickly changing to embarrassment and then to curiosity when he saw the occupants of the room. "E-er, buona giornata. T-this is not the r-room I was looking for.. Er, h-however, d-do you mind if I s-sit down? M-my legs a-are quite cross w-with my adventures." And oh, wasn't that the truth. 'Cross' was putting it lightly.

'''Ms Elaina Hyde:'''  Oh, yeah. Come on, that's fine... * >~<*

Tairais:  Richard sat very still and generally tried to give off an air of not being there as he closed his eyes. Being 6'3", it was a rather futile task, and he knew this, however his leg refused to cooperate. 'Accursed contraption must have a faulty wire somewhere. What else can go wrong?' He sighed. "I d-do apologize, draugai. I w-will be gone in a few moments."

Decipherer: Though he initially was uninterested in the summoning, some better part of Elias had begged to attend it when he'd found himself unoccupied, and it was this that had him here, now, leaning on the legs of his chair with an impatient frown and arms crossed.

Ms Elaina Hyde:  Oh. Hey, you... *Elaina frowned hard*

Decipherer:  Elias quirked an eyebrow. "Yes?"

Ms Elaina Hyde:  Why did you come? No offense.

Decipherer:  He, thankfully, is able to hide the hurt that the words had offered. "Well, we are friends, correct? You did say so."

Ms Elaina Hyde:  Right! I just wasn't sure... Because... I didn't think you would come. Sorry.

Decipherer:  Elias sets his jaw, trying to again ignore the pang of offense in his chest. "Right." Ms Elaina Hyde:  I'm sorry...

Decipherer:  "It's nothing. Don't be."

Ms Elaina Hyde:  ...

Dr. Helen Jekyll:  *Helen approached the unfamiliar attendee with a tired smile, doing her best to be cheery.* Hello there, sir. I don't believe we've met. My name is Dr. Helen Jekyll. *She offered her hand along with her name, each word spoken as if she had memorized that little speech, but the feelings behind them were genuine.* Sorry if I'm interrupting...

Decipherer:  Elias looks towards her with an almost amused smirk, but proceeds to shake her hand. He speaks in a nearly monotone voice, "Dr. Elias Castellanos. It's a pleasure."

Dr. Helen Jekyll:  The pleasures all mine, Doctor. *Helen replied as her cheeks began to flush, pulling her hand away.* Are you new to the Society?

Decipherer:  Elias looks a little surprised as he's simply called Doctor, but this doesn't last. He chuckles and his hands return to their position of being stuffed into his pockets. "Somewhat, yes."

Dr. Helen Jekyll:  *Helen clasped her hands together behind her back, sighing regretfully.* Well, I'm sorry for missing your arrival... I normally like to great newcomers but lately... *She trailed off then shook her head slowly.* Nevermind... I'm sure you'll hear about her soon enough.

Decipherer:  Because Elias has no sense of when to shut his mouth, he asks, "What do you mean?"

Dr. Helen Jekyll:  *Hesitating, her reply was barely over a whisper.* A lot of things have been happening in the Society, and... Quite a few of the bad things have been caused by a woman named Hela, who has a rather close connection to me.

Decipherer:  He smirks at her, quirking an eyebrow. "Close connection?"

Dr. Helen Jekyll:  *She nodded slowly, then added after a pause.* We're practically the same person... *Her bitter joke brought a shadow of a smile to her face, her mood rapidly falling.*

Decipherer:  He doesn't seem to understand the joke, looking rather puzzled. "That's... likely very unhealthy." Dr. Helen Jekyll:  Very unhealthy... *She agreed, running a hand through her hair. She couldn't remember the last time she had gotten a decent nights rest.* It would probably be best to avoid meeting her, if you can... Although she seems to take particular interest in those who are new to the Society. Decipherer:  He LAUGHS AT HER PAIN JEEZ ELIAS WOW laughs softly, mumbling something about having hilariously poor luck before looking towards Helen again. "Right. Well, uh, I hope I never meet her, I guess."

Dr. Helen Jekyll:  *Her somber eyes met his, another hollow smile spreading across her face.* And if you are unfortunate enough to meet her, I wish you the best of luck... Perhaps you'll be one of the ones she doesn't touch... Decipherer:  Elias smirks at this, crossing his arms as he looks in pretty much any direction that's not Helen's. "From what you said, I doubt it. You seem... pleasant, though."

Dr. Helen Jekyll:  Thank you... I find your company to be enjoyable as well... *She dropped her gaze, her hands going behind her back once more.* I should probably get going. I have a lot to do before she comes back...

Decipherer:  Elias nods without questioning her wording of the statement, doing a small wave. "Have a good day, then."

Dr. Helen Jekyll:  *A soft "You too" was all she could manage before Helen hurried towards the door, head down and bumping into quite a few lodgers. Her eyes watered as she tried not to remember his words or how her actions had made it impossible for him to escape Helas attention now. In trying to warn him, she had made everything worse.*

Mz.Hyde: *Mz. Hyde walks in and parks herself in a chair, a slightly nervous look on her face.*

'''Ms Elaina Hyde:'''  *Elaina waved* hey...

Mz.Hyde: *She waves back.* Hey...

'''Ms Elaina Hyde:'''  How are you?

Mz.Hyde: I'm fine...wait...HELEN?!

'''Ms Elaina Hyde:'''  Uh... What?

Mz.Hyde: Is that really Helen over there?!

'''Ms Elaina Hyde:'''  Oh, yeah. Hela agreed to let Helen be here, but now I kind of owe her...

Mz.Hyde: Uh-oh, what did you do this time?

'''Ms Elaina Hyde:'''  What do you mean...? I asked her if Helen could come to this... And now I owe her... I probably have to go hunt with her... *sighs* Mz.Hyde: Just don't kill anyone important...

'''Ms Elaina Hyde:'''  I won't kill anybody... Or I'll try not to...

Mz.Hyde: Uh-huh.

'''Ms Elaina Hyde:'''  I'm sorry...

Mz.Hyde: Hey, at least you got Helen back for a while. And that's always good.

'''Ms Elaina Hyde:'''  Yeah. I missed Helen. Hela has been really mean... * frowns*

Mz.Hyde: Meaner than a one-eyed snake.

'''Ms Elaina Hyde:'''  *giggles a little*

Mz.Hyde: I see you got my reference....😏

'''Ms Elaina Hyde:'''  No, it just sounded silly.

Mz.Hyde: Heehee.

'''Ms Elaina Hyde:'''  *giggles*

Mz.Hyde: So, what's the big news?

'''Ms Elaina Hyde:'''  We... Are dating... Me and Helen...

Mz.Hyde: I knew that.

'''Ms Elaina Hyde:'''  ... Oh. Well fine. *huffs*

Mz.Hyde: It was obvious this entire time. I see the way you two look at each other and giggle and flirt!

'''Ms Elaina Hyde:'''  *blushes* oh.

Mz.Hyde: You are so cute together!

'''Ms Elaina Hyde:'''  *giggles*

Dr. Helen Jekyll:  *Helen turned at the mention of her name, a tired smile lighting up her face at the sight of her friend, Mz. Hyde.*

Mz.Hyde: Helen! You're back!

Dr. Helen Jekyll:  Yeah, for a little while. *She blushes.*

Mz.Hyde: *She goes up to her and hugs her. * I'm...I'm so sorry...

Dr. Helen Jekyll:  *Helen blinked then hugged her back tightly.* You have nothing to be sorry for... It's all my fault... Don't blame yourself...

Mz.Hyde: How can you say that?! I...I almost killed you!

Dr. Helen Jekyll:  And Hela would have done the same if given the chance... Please don't give her the opportunity...

Mz.Hyde: Helen, you know that I can't die! No matter how hard I try!

Dr. Helen Jekyll:  I... I don't want you hurt by my hand... Even if I can't end your life...

Mz.Hyde: Helen... * She puts her hand in Helen's.* Hela can stab me, shoot me, cut me, burn me, rend me, do whatever she wants to me...but I will always come back...and I will fight her to get her to stop...even if it takes forever. * She looks her dead in the eyes.* And that is a promise.

Dr. Helen Jekyll:  *Her heart sunk, pain filling her eyes.* That's the exact opposite of what I want... Please, you can't let her hurt you...

Mz.Hyde: Don't you understand Helen? She can't kill me and she can't hurt me.

Dr. Helen Jekyll:  She'll find a way... She always does... She hurts everyone... And I don't want you to think about me anymore...

Mz.Hyde: How can you say that?! You have a right to live and be free as much as she does!

Dr. Helen Jekyll:  *She smiled bitterly and wiped her eyes with a sleeve.* I... I see at least one of her beliefs are true... So many people are so hypocritical...

Mz.Hyde: I don't know how Helen, but I'm going to get you out of this.

Dr. Helen Jekyll:  How could you possibly fix me when you can't fix yourself...? *Her voice dropped to a whisper, soft but there was an edge to it.*

Mz.Hyde: Fix myself?

Dr. Helen Jekyll:  Everyone here is broken... Some more than others... Yet everyone's trying to help me when they can't solve their own problems... They should worry about themselves... I'm not worth the time...

Mz.Hyde: Yes you are! * "I wouldn't go through the pain that I'm going to if I didn't think you all were worth it." Mz. Hyde thought to herself.*

Dr. Helen Jekyll:  Well, if I'm worth the time, then what about the lives...? How many people will I have to kill before you understand...? Mz.Hyde: Maybe...maybe you don't have to kill anyone...at least...not technically... * Mz. Hyde secretly could not believe what she was saying.*

Dr. Helen Jekyll:  *She sighed quietly.* Not technically... Meaning...?

Mz.Hyde: What...what if we separated you and Hela?

Dr. Helen Jekyll:  Seperated us...? *Her eyes widened then dulled as she looked away.* Then I would probably become a killer...

Mz.Hyde: You as in Helen or Hela?

Dr. Helen Jekyll:  *There was a long pause, then* Hela's already a killer...

Mz.Hyde: You want to kill people?

Dr. Helen Jekyll:  Of course not! Just... One person in particular...

Mz.Hyde: Who?

Dr. Helen Jekyll:  Hela, of course...

Mz.Hyde: I know this going to sound dumb...but...why?

Dr. Helen Jekyll:  If I kill her, she won't be able to hurt anyone anymore... I would finally destroy the monster I created...

Mz.Hyde: I know the feeling...but wouldn't that almost make you as bad as her? As bad as me?

Dr. Helen Jekyll:  It wouldn't matter, because I'm already as bad as her, or have the potential to be... I'd just be ending one life to save others...

Dr. Helen Jekyll: You have a point there...but something at the back of my head still tells me no...but it doesn't matter what I think does it?

'''Hastie Lanyon''' *Hastie knocked on the door before entering, slightly out of breath.* Apologies for being late, I had official business to attend to.

Ms Elaina Hyde:  *Elaina looked up and smiled nervously* nope...

'''Hastie Lanyon'''  Well then; Elaina, Helen... what did you want to talk about?

Dr. Helen Jekyll:  We'll get to that in a little while... *blushes, smiling sadly* I just want to talk to everyone first.

'''Hastie Lanyon'''  Helen my dear, it's good to have you back. I'm so sorry for what Hela did...

Dr. Helen Jekyll:  *cringes and softens her tone* Don't be... It's all my own fault... I'm very sorry for any damage done, just let me know how I can fix it...

'''Hastie Lanyon'''  Oh my dear, don't be so hard on yourself. And remember; you're not alone in this. We will help you rid this monster that was created.

Dr. Helen Jekyll:  I... I don't think that's possible, Lanyon... At least not permanently... For the longest time I had thought that I had created a monster but really, the monster is me.

'''Hastie Lanyon'''  Don't be absurd! You're as much Hela as I am an elephant! Now, I must agree that you made a mistake in creating her. The damage of the past cannot be undone, but we may yet save you in the future.

Dr. Helen Jekyll:  Then I'm afraid you must half pachyderm, sir... The serum doesn't make something out of nothing, it has to have monsterous qualities to separate away from the host... You'd be cutting me into pieces if you got rid of what makes Hela so dangerous.

'''Hastie Lanyon'''  You are not a murderer, Helen. Whatever Hela is must have its roots in you, yes, but those feelings are on steroids.

Dr. Helen Jekyll:  *Lets out a sad laugh.* You'd probably be right. But I am a killer for standing by and doing nothing while she killed...

'''Hastie Lanyon'''  And what could you have done? You didn't even have a body when Hela broke free! If anyone is at fault for not acting when she rampaged it is me. I am the one responsible for you lot, after all... I will not be unprepared again.

Dr. Helen Jekyll:  I shouldn't have let her take control... If I hadn't, everyone would be so much happier... Or I at least should have warned you. You did the best you could, Lanyon...

'''Hastie Lanyon'''  Well, we will just have to work with what we got. Our priority is to prevent her from harming anyone else.

'''Catt Hatter:''' *Catt wandered in, looking slightly distracted.*

'''Hyde without a Jekyll:'''  *Not-Allison looks up at Catt her blue eye fills with hatred as she glares at Catt.*

'''Catt Hatter:'''  *She flinched when she caught sight of Alli, glaring at her from the corner. She took a seat.*

Ms Elaina Hyde:  *Elaina smiled nervously* hey Catt...

'''Catt Hatter:'''  Hm? Oh, hey Elaina. *She took a seat.* Helen, good to see you.

Ms Elaina Hyde:  ... Helen, why can't you...?

Dr. Helen Jekyll:  Because this was your idea, Elaina! *She sighed and looked up at Catt with a tired smile.* Hello... It's nice to see you as well...

Ms Elaina Hyde:  *winces and whimpers* it was a bad one but now everybody's here... Help me! Pleeeeease...?

Dr. Helen Jekyll:  *Another sigh, then her shoulders slumped in defeat. Too tired to argue anymore, her tone was resigned.* Fine... I'll tell part of it... But you have to help, at least a little bit.

Ms Elaina Hyde:  I will... I promise!

'''Catt Hatter:'''  *Catt smiled softly at her friend, looking almost as tired as she was.* How've you been holding up?

Dr. Helen Jekyll:  I'm... I'm fine... *Helen answered quietly, suddenly avoiding Catts gaze.* I just can't believe how out of hand everything has gotten...

'''Catt Hatter:'''  You're telling me...*Catt sighed, returning her gaze to the table.* I'm sorry I can't be of more help to you.

Dr. Helen Jekyll:  *Helen frowned and looked up, a puzzled look on her face.* What do you mean? You've been an amazing help! You're always doing such nice things, even for Hela... *Her voice faltered slightly.* I'm the only one who... Should be sorry... And I am... So very, very sorry, Catt...

'''Catt Hatter:'''  *Catt stood and hugged her.* Don't you dare... don't you dare be sorry. I knew what I was in for when I agreed to chaperone Hela, and I wouldn't leave you to fight your demons alone.

Dr. Helen Jekyll:  *Helen cringed, squeezing her eyes shut and leaning into the embrace.* You shouldn't be taking the risk... There's nothing for me to fight anymore, so I don't want you doing anything crazy, okay...? I'm not worth it now, if I was even worth it before...

'''Catt Hatter:'''  I'll do whatever crazy thing I darn well please, and you are worth more than you weight in gold to me. You always have been. *Catt fought to hold back tears.* So don't be so mean to yourself, huh?

Dr. Helen Jekyll:  I... I'll try... But you have to stop spending so much time around her... I can't stand the way she treats you... The bits and pieces that I've seen... *Helen shuddered, her voice growing softer.* And then there's the time she... I... Shot you...

'''Catt Hatter:'''  Hey now, it's thanks to that shooting that I'm not scared all the time anymore! *She said softly.* I should be thanking you, both of you!

Dr. Helen Jekyll:  *Helen choked out a bitter laugh, pulling away so she could meet her friends eyes.* Thanking me...? I didn't know you had such a morbid sense of humor...

Catt Hatter:  *Catt smiled, but it looked almost like she was in pain.* It's, not really humour. But hey, I'll take a laugh anywhere I can get one.

Dr. Helen Jekyll:  How can you thank the person who tried to kill you, after all your kindness towards them, for hurting you...? *Helen stepped back, away from Catt, Hela's thoughts echoing hers.*

'''Catt Hatter:'''  Because- *She cut herself off.* Because I hated being scared of everyone, now I'm not scared of anything. I can breath easily when I meet new people, and when I perform, and even when... Even when I get hurt.

'''Hela Hyde:'''  You... Can't feel fear anymore? *She felt her stomach grow heavy with dread. If Catt couldn't fear Hela, she wouldn't avoid her...*

'''Catt Hatter:'''  Nope, and I can honestly say, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that that is a very good thing. *Her words carried an unseen weight that would not be denied. She dropped her gaze to the floor.* Believe me.

Dr. Helen Jekyll:  *Helen shook her head, her arms wrapping around her stomach.* No, you... You don't understand... You have to feel fear... I want you to fear me! If no one is afraid, then no one will run. No one would survive. * Panic forced her voice an octave higher.* I don't want to hurt anyone anymore!

'''Catt Hatter:'''  You, don't know what you're asking. *Catt mumbled.* I'm the only one who doesn't feel fear, and I'll make sure everyone survives. *She looked in her friend's brown eyes.* Including you.

Dr. Helen Jekyll:  I-I can't... No... I don't d-deserve the chance t-to live... *Her hands gripped her sides, each finger digging into her shirt.* M-Murderers are h-hanged...

'''Catt Hatter:'''  Hey, hey, *She said, grasping Helen's shoulders in a firm, reassuring grip.* Not you, not on my watch. *She pulled her into a tight hug.* I couldn't stand it if...I just couldn't!

Dr. Helen Jekyll:  *Helen choked back a sob, fighting against the emotions that threatened to overflow.* S-She's so m-much stronger n-now... I can't d-do anything...

'''Catt Hatter:'''  Then don't! Everyone here cares for you. Let us help!

Dr. Helen Jekyll:  No! Y-You'll die! P-Please, just f-forget me...

'''Catt Hatter:'''  It would hurt more to lose you. Please, don't give up!

Dr. Helen Jekyll:  I... I haven't g-given up... This is a n-new way to help... But you a-all have to f-forget me... '''Catt Hatter:'''  What good would forgetting you do? It would just leave a blank space where you should be! Dr. Helen Jekyll:  It... It would take a-away your need to b-be kind to her... Then you w-wouldn't have to w-worry about me... '''Catt Hatter:'''  I would be kind to her even if you were actually separate people. *She said, a resolute expression taking over her face.* Dr. Helen Jekyll:  *She squeezed her eyes shut, a shuddered sigh escaping her lips.* Can... You at least... P-Promise me o-one t-thing...? '''Catt Hatter:'''  It depends on what you want me to promise. *Her voice was gentle, but still determined.* Dr. Helen Jekyll:  *Taking a deep breath, she steeled herself, If you're ever given t-the choice... And I-I have no d-doubt that someday y-you will... To save either H-Hela and I... or y-yourself... You have to promise m-me you'll choose yourself e-everytime... '''Catt Hatter:'''  *Catt thought for a long moment, the conditions made little, to no sense. If she was protected by her hatt, then what real danger could she ever be in? But she couldn't just tell Helen no, that would just worry her and give Hela more ammunition to hurt her with.* I, can try. *She said at last.* But I doubt things will ever get that bad. Besides, I've come back unscathed from some pretty bad things. Dr. Helen Jekyll:  *Helen sighed and managed a meek smile, relief flooding her.* Thank y-you... I just h-hope you're right... '''Catt Hatter:'''  I'm sure I am. So try not to worry so much, okay? Dr. Helen Jekyll:  *She nodded, staring at the ground.* I'll t-try...

-

Eliana and Helen move to the front of the room.

Ms Elaina Hyde: Um, okay.... *she said quietly, then she realized nobody could hear her and she raised her voice a bit* u-um, hi? I think everybody's here now...

Ms Elaina Hyde:  ''Helen. Help me.''

Dr. Helen Jekyll:  *Helen took a deep breath and stood, surveying the crowd as her cheeks turned crimson.* Excuse me, everyone. Please settle down... *She called in a clear, firm voice, surprising herself. Her stomach was churning with emotions.* Elaina and I wanted to make an announcement...

Ms Elaina Hyde:  *Elaina suddenly remembered that they weren't in 2013 anymore. And that this could ruin Helen's reputation here. But people were going to find out anyways, so... Oops?* y-yeah... *she went distant for a second, panicking in her head*

Ms Elaina Hyde:  *she blinked and shook her head* uh, yeah. We have... An announcement, yeah. ... Um... *she looked down, nervous and scared*

Dr. Helen Jekyll:  *Helen sighed softly as Elaina ducked behind her, feeling her tremble.* We both thought it was time to tell you, if you all didn't already know, that we're dating.

Ms Elaina Hyde:  Eep! *she whimpered softly*

'''Hyde without a Jekyll:'''  *A slight murmur passes through the room. Some are surprised by this while others whisper "It's about time." No one seems to be shocked by this between the rumors of Henry and Edward's...relationship, and the fact that many had already assumed they were dating. Not-Allison nods her head and smiles. She's happy for the couple.*

Ms Elaina Hyde:  *Elaina hid behind Helen, shaking and whimpering*

'''Hyde without a Jekyll:'''  ...Elaina? *Not-Allison was confused by her behavior.*

Ms Elaina Hyde:  What...?

'''Hyde without a Jekyll:'''  ...Why are you hiding?

Ms Elaina Hyde:  I'm scared...

'''Hyde without a Jekyll:'''  ...Why?

Ms Elaina Hyde:  Because it's London! But in 18whatever! I'm from 2013... It's more accepted there... I'm worried people will hate us...

'''Hyde without a Jekyll:'''  *She blinked and thought about what Elaina said for a moment....to be honest The Girl really hadn't thought much about a love life...then again neither did Allison...* ...Yes, while it is true that the general consensus upon the matter is one of disdain, you have to remember where you are...between Edward's and Henry's...relationship and Hastie's not so subtle flirts with Henry, I don't think we really care. If anything most of us see it as an extra gossiping point...and I'm pretty sure a few of the lodgers had started a betting pool.

Ms Elaina Hyde:  Oh. Okay,..

'''Hyde without a Jekyll:'''  *She nods her head*

Ms Elaina Hyde:  ...

'''Hyde without a Jekyll:''' *Seeing that there was nothing else to say the girl stands and turns to leave.*

Ms Elaina Hyde:  ... Bye...?

'''Hyde without a Jekyll:'''  *At the door she turns back and smiles at Elaina and Helen.* I wish you two the best of luck.

Ms Elaina Hyde: Thanks!

SoljaGold:  Solja, who's been eavesdropping at the keyhole this whole time, crashes through the door slightly open door violently. She points at Elaina and Helen with a deadly serious expression on her face. "YOU! YOU TWO! YOU. ARE. SHIPPED!"

Dr. Helen Jekyll:  *Helen glances at the source of the interruption then flinches at the sudden noise.* I-I... O-Okay...? *Her cheeks flushed.*

SoljaGold:  Solja grinned at her like cat. "O.T.P." Asphere thought that it was an embarrassing entrance, but Soljas shipping senses were too strong for her to unwillingly push her emotions to her.

Dr. Helen Jekyll:  I'm... Glad you think of Elaina and I that way... *She said slowly, trying to regain her composure.*

Ms Elaina Hyde:  *Elaina burst out laughing* I-? What-? Where you listening from outside?!

SoljaGold:  "Uhhhh..." Solja was suddenly not only in the center of attention, but completely embarrassed. "...no?" /ASPHERE, DON'T TRANSFER YOUR SOCIAL AWKWARDNESS TO ME, DAMNIT!/

Ms Elaina Hyde:  *She giggled* It's fine. It's just funny.

SoljaGold:  She coughed. "Ok then..." Solja leaved slowly and closed the door behind her. Then she starts yelling at Asphere in the hallway.

Ms Elaina Hyde:  *laughs*

'''Jasper Jekyll:'  That's it''?

Dr. Helen Jekyll:  *Color flooded her cheeks at the comment.* U-Uh... Y-Yes...?

'''Jasper Jekyll:'''  ( Flatly. ) You two have been skirting around suspiciously for this?

Dr. Helen Jekyll:  I... I a-apologize if i-it's not w-what you e-expected... * She stuttered, turning several shades darker.*

'''Jasper Jekyll:'''  Why were you guys beating around the bushes? The way you were acting, we'd have thought you KILLED a man!

Dr. Helen Jekyll:  *Helen lowered her gaze and began to fiddle with her hands.* I-I'm sorry... I...

Ms Elaina Hyde:  I guess you aren't surprised...

'''Jasper Jekyll:'''  ( At this, her eyes widen into a truly bewildered expression. ) Why?! Why would I be?!

Ms Elaina Hyde:  ... I don't know? Maybe because I haven't talked to you much, and not about Helen?

'''Jasper Jekyll:'''  You didn't need to, virtually everyone here's gonna have a partner. It's no big deal.

Ms Elaina Hyde:  ... Okay...

Dr. Jekyll II ( Mother Hen ):  ( Hen inches closer, stretching to reach Jasper's ear. He cups his hands around the space and whispers a quit explanation of why homosexuality is a no-no in which he places blame primarily on the RCC. )

'''Jasper Jekyll:'''  ( Her voice rises to a booming roar. She is more upset about the prominent homophobia than about the coming out. ) '''WHAT? THAT'S JUST STUPID!'''

Ms Elaina Hyde:  ... Uh... Wha...? Are you okay...?

'''Jasper Jekyll:  NO. (She bangs her fist against the table, nearly breaking it in half. )THIS IS NOT OKAY.'''

Ms Elaina Hyde:  *jumps, startled* uh, o-okay?

'''Jasper Jekyll:'''  ( She points her finger at Elaina. ) I'm gonna find those people.

Dr. Jekyll II ( Mother Hen ):  Jasper. NO.

Ms Elaina Hyde:  *sighs* who?
