It's kind of a yearly Halloween thing. It rolls in, makes everything spooky, and by sunrise its gone. Nobody knows where it comes from or where it goes to.

Jamie quietly recognised the old and invisible bloke, before letting out a long sigh and shaking her head.

"Well hopefully you'll figure out how to defend us against this thing soon. I don't think Rose could--"

"Jamie...is everything alright?" A soft and quiet voice suddenly asked, while a familiar figure came into view from within the room.

It was a blonde haired and green eyed stitched together rag doll, almost like that of Frankenstein's monster. Of course, it was just a very vivid costume the poor lodger couldn't take off.

"That's why we're going to investigate it!" Griffin snapped at Mz. Hyde, "Unless you actually want a repeat of last year!"

Jamie spoke before being cut off by the blond.

Every moment of this conversation with Mz. Hyde, hearing her voice, was putting Millie on edge, made her less focused. When Rose stepped into view with the hyper realistic doll costume on an instant of panick hit her so hard, she leaped back in terror screaming, "HOLY F#CKIN SH#T!!!", and hit the hall wall with her back which she pressed up against.

Griffin stiffened a snicker as soon as he realized what the object of Millie's current fear was on.

Well, at least it got her mind off Mz. Hyde for the moment.

* Mz. Hyde was so confused. What happened last Halloween? As far as she knew, she slept through the whole day only to wake up with a pounding headache. What was Griffin talking about? Why was Millie avoiding her? But this confusion was cut off by seeing Rose. While Millie's reaction was out of fear, Mz. Hyde just stood there. The shock turning into a flood of bad memories. Memories that reminded her of bad things. Memories that reminded her of what she really was. Memories that reminded her of why she hated herself. But she just stood there. Breathing heavily under the mask.*

But as Jamie gently rested her hand upon Rose's shoulder, the blonde just stared back at Millie and Mz. Hyde; confused and a little concerned.

Was she really that horrifying to look at this time?

"A-Are you two okay?" She nervously asked them, while she subtly moved closer to her skeletal lover.

"F-FINE!...I-I'm fine...!" Millie blurted out, her back still against the wall.

Griffin said in a low voice behind the back of his gloved hand towards Rose while subtly gesturing at Millie, "Pediophobic..." He wasn't even concerned about Mz. Hyde's reaction.

"Can we please get going!?" Millie yelled, a little annoyed but mostly still panicked inside.

"One moment..." Griffin calmly said before going back to talking to Rose, he tells her what they are planning to do to get her up to speed with the rest of the group.

Rose had heard of the phobia before. A sad frown was on her face even as Griffin explained their plan to her. At least the mist might not be able to cause them anymore problems next year.

Once Griffin had finished explaining, the doll like blonde quietly stepped back into her quarters.

"I...I better stay in here tonight. Good luck with the plan." Rose said, while Jamie watched her. She could tell that her lover felt bad for the state Millie was in.

Griffin shrugged, "Huh, okay." Was all he had to say about that. He walked over to Millie who was already starting to inch away against the wall, takes her hand as they start to leave.

Griffin didn't even acknowledge Mz. Hyde standing there.

Oh right!

* She notices Griffin and Millie.*

So what's the plan? Where do we start looking? Maybe there's something or somebody in the Underworld who knows where this fog comes from!

Jamie stared at Mz. Hyde, a tad confused by her sudden blackout as she stood in the doorway, before speaking up.

"Unfortunately I'm not much help in this situation and right now I need to look after Rose in case one of the other lodgers has gone crazy thanks to this bloody mist, so I'll just wish all of you good luck. Stay safe, Mz. Hyde." The tall brunette explained, a worried look on her face.

An audible groan came from the headless figure when Mz. Hyde suddenly came back and started talking again, he only half listened to Jamie's words.

Millie didn't say anything, she mainly focused on keeping herself together.

"If by 'underworld' you mean 'Criminal underworld' then yes. I have a few connections..." Griffin said still not looking at the mothlady.

Millie started walking a little faster, almost pulling Griffin along by his hand.

"Millie! Slowdown child! You're going to make my trip!"

Griffin got distracted by Millie's pacing to finally look at Mz. Hyde.

"You mean, for dead people and shil-!?"

He suddenly started stumbling as Millie suddenly picked up the pace again but was still able to just maintain his balance.

"Damnit child! are you trying to kill me!?"

Millie didn't answer, just kept running and breathing fast and deep breathes.

"... Millie?"

Millie didn't answer, she started to run even faster. Finally Griffin had to let go before nerrowly avoiding falling on his face.

Millie didn't stop running for a second, still hyperventilating under her mask, still feeling at her face as she ran and constantly muttering, "shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up-, she was sprinting as fast as she could on her two legs in what seems to be in a blind fear away from the other two to the nearest exit.

Griffin tried his best to keep up after her calling out to her, trying to get her attention.

In another moment the front door bursted open as Millie ran out of the building and down the steps, wildly looking around before staggering to a nearby curving lamppost, grabbing onto it with both hands and sliding to her knees, her forehead pressed against the poll.

Griffin grabbed Mz. Hyde's arm and stopped short before they could make it outside the building themselves and violently yanked Mz. Hyde back towards him.

"Are you joking!? Do you think this is funny!? You should know damn well why she's like this! She's been like this since the last bloody time this fog happened because of you!" He bellowed in her face, obviously pissed. "You should know damn well more than me! You were there! You were bloody Everywhere!"

There was a sound of teeth knashing together as his grip on her tightened. He dragged her a few steps further back from the front door before shoving her back against the wall.

"You... Seriously... Forgot what happened...?" He said trying his best to surpress his growing rage.

Griffin was silent for a moment. He let go of Mz. Hyde and took a couple steps back. He gave himself a moment to calm down and take a deep breath.

He then told her the events of last year as best he could in his perspective. The hoard of Hydes, Millie as the thing in pain, the carnage he came back to, trying to catch the Millie monster, everything he was there for.

"... Now I don't know exactly what you did to provoke her to do that but the you with the glasses admitted that it was your fault and Millie hasn't been the same since." He closed off the story, "NOW do you understand!?"

* When Griffin began his tale, Mz. Hyde didn't believe him. But as he explained the events, her face morphed into an expression that was a mixture of confusion and horror. How can there spontaneously be hundreds of her?! Where did they go?! Were they...inside of her?! And why does she not remember this?! But now everything made sense: why Millie and Utterson where terrified of her...why everyone else has been avoiding her...Griffin didn't see it in the dark, but there were tears in her eyes.*

I...I understand...

* She starts walking back inside.*

"You know... to stop it... so we don't get a repeat of last year...?"

Griffin takes Mz. Hyde's mental box metaphor and uses it.

He puts his hands firmly on her shoulders, and said slowly with a lot of thought and strategic consideration.

"Well maybe... Instead of hiding in that mental box... You should brake out, work harder, actually prove that your sorry and want to fix things... You'll accomplish nothing by hiding and hurting yourself, that doesn't show anyone you want to make up it just shows you're too weak to fix your mistakes... If you're really sorry and you really want to fix it you'll take every opportunity that comes by to do so. Now I'm giving you this opportunity to start fixing this, are you really going to pass it up?"

Then again, perhaps not.

Richard was glad to awaken on Halloween with his body and mind as intact as they had been before falling asleep, unlike as in years before. He could cope with the surrounding landscape appearing as if it had walked straight out of a child's dream- hadn't he already seen things far stranger?- but he wouldn't have particularly enjoyed losing control of his body so soon after his last stint with that sort of thing.

Charricthran had been less than pleased when he'd announced his decision to stay put. It was an argument swiftly ended once he pointed out that Charricthran was supposed to be, on occasion, a raven, not a mother hen.

He'd gotten only indignant grumbling in response, and a great deal of care and concern buried under it. He had no doubt that, were he to call for him, Charricthran would be at his side before he had finished uttering the name.

As so often happened when he was lost in thought, he meandered. As so often happened (which was something he didn't care to think about, due to the eerie frequency of the event) when he meandered, he ran into new people.

Such was the case with the well-dressed man he belatedly realized stood some near distance away from him.

The man visibly sagged with relief when he spotted Richard in the same hall as he, approaching him with a smile that was becoming frayed at the edges.

“Ah yes, pardon me, sir,” He said quickly, sounding a touch out of breath, “I am looking for a resident of this building, or anyone else familiar with the local area, I...“ He leaned on his cane rather heavily with a sheepish look. “...am afraid I’ve gotten a bit lost.”

Another wave of relief crashed down on him as he came to a stop before the other man.

“I-I arrived by train and, after the fog set in, lost my way through the... rather interesting architecture.” He shivered as he recalled the misshapen building and the cobwebs that hung from them. “If you would only provide me with directions, I will gladly be on my way.”

The gentleman appeared a mix of anxiety and eagerness, both of which he tried to swallow to maintain his composure.

Richard blinked and looked up, as if just realizing the architecture was, in fact, interesting.

"Ah, that it is indeed, it would seem. Where might I direct you? Moreover, I will be happy to guide you there myself; I am uncertain how many landmarks I might give you remain unchanged by the... festivities."

Noticing the man's restless energy (and knowing for a fact he had done nothing to cause it), Richard gave another smile and adopted what appeared to be a looser stance.

(Any wariness he might have felt towards that bundle of nervous energy was firmly hidden under his skin and out of sight.)

“Ah, thank you, thank you ever so kindly, sir!”

The gentleman beamed, visibly trying (and failing) to temper his smile into something more reserved.

“If I could simply be returned to the station, you will have done a world of good,” He said, radiating gratitude, “Though I fear the trains may not be running in this weather...”

He shook his head briefly to rid himself of the doubt threatening to creep in, finding distraction in addressing his current companion once more.

“Forgive me, where are my manners?” He continued with a nervous chuckle, holding out his right hand, “I’m George Handson—It’s a pleasure to meet you.”

Richard took George's hand and shook it firmly with a smile of his own.

"Doctor Richard Prince, and I assure you, the pleasure is all mine. Come, I will guide you to the station. Should they no longer be running, I would not mind escorting you to your destination; I have little else to do, in truth, although you might very well do better putting up in an inn for the evening."

He dropped the man's hand, rolling his shoulders in a half-shrug.

"I cannot remember how long it took for things to return to normal the last two times."

“I could hardly ask you to travel such a distance nor bear the responsibility of locating lodgings for myself,” George replied with a little shake of his head, looking simultaneously flattered and surprised, “You’re far too generous in your offer, Dr. Prince—I must insist that you accept payment for your services at their completion.”

Richard offered a wry smile, shaking his head.

"No payment is necessary, nor will I take it if offered; I have little need for anything at the moment. Come," he said, striding towards the Society's grandiose doors, "the station is not far."

((Are you and George sharing a voice right now? You don't seem like the other one.))

“Very well,” He replied rather reluctantly, obviously not keen on allowing Richard to walk away without a suitable reward.

George followed his guide outside and shivered in the additional fog, eyeing the surrounding landscape and its Halloween-esque features with more than a little unease.

“If you don’t mind my prying, I cannot help but feel a touch of curiosity towards the building you happened upon me in... What sort of place is it?”

[Ah, that’s right. You’ve already tangoed with them, haven’t you? Si tepohada agmasaon forgotten zahae batobot moxt lincesa cep di astana.

The simple answer to your query is ‘yes’ and ‘no’. An explanation, unfortunately, cannot be discussed at the moment. You’ve my deepest apologies.]

Richard chuckled, hoping to put his companion at ease with the gesture.

It wasn't as if anything that might be lingering in the fog would be a challenge to fight in his present state. If it was, he'd at least get the chance to test a few prototypes.

"The kind of place where occurrences like these, though sometimes leaving scars on the participants, are easily enough moved past. A building of social, arcane ,and scientific eccentricities, if you will."

(( Yes because you're hijacking their 'body', and no because it's your voice that speaks, I assume. You said you can't discuss it, so I don't expect a reply, but I'll acknowledge your apologies.))

Asmodeus put their hand to their cheek where one of the men had punched them. “It’s alright. I got what I was looking for.

“Mind you, that was quite impressive back there, you two.”

“Thank you!” chirped the doll.

“I’d rather we didn’t have to do it again” the girl said. The doll, tired of running at full speed to keep up, ran up Asmodeus body and settled on their shoulder.

“I really didn’t think they’d overwhelm you like that. I thought humans were just toys to demons”

“That’s fair” said the girl. “Perhaps then I should take over for the rest of the night. I have a knack for balancing shenanigans with a healthy regard for ones own life” they said with a hint of smugness in her voice. “I propose we rob a house”

“The residence of a well-respected physician in Harley street. It has a venerable facade, but it there are some strange smells emanating from it. I think the doctor is hiding something in the attic. Do think you can kick down a door or two?”

The girl grinned, which made the skin crack around the corners of her mouth. “Come on then”

They made their way to their destination at London’s citadel of medicine. There was no plaque on the house, despite it being a doctor’s practice. The girl walked out into the middle of the street, peering up at the top floors.

“There’s a window upon on the third floor.”

The doll flabbed on the girl’s head, it’s spindly arms transformed into black and white feathered wings.

“Can you get my head off? It’s too heavy to fly with”

The girl grasped the doll, put it’s head between her jaws and pulled it off with a swift jerk. In place was a small black bird’s head, screeching indignantly.

“That hurt!”

The girl threw the bird up at the window. “Hurry up would you”

They waited for a few minutes. Then the window was thrown open and a pale man with dark tousled hair leaned out and surveyed the street. His eyes fell upon Asmodeus and the girl at his door.

“Who the devil are you?”

The girl immedially hid behind the demon. “Talk to him” she hissed.

The doctor’s eyes narrowed further.

“One usually doesn’t walk up to strangers’ houses to ask them for random advice. Either state your true intentions or make haste to be on your way!”

There was a scratching at the door, then the click of a lock. The girl opened the door, silent as a shadow, and slipped inside.

The hallway was only illuminated by the thin ray of light shining through the drawn curtains. There was a stair to the right.

The sound of footsteps could be heard from the second floor, followed by a strangled cry. A body came tumbling down and landed in a heap at the bottom step. The creature dressed up as a girl came patting down after it. “Whoops...”

The girl sniffed the lifeless man. “Well, atleast this is easier than sneaking around.”

The bird in a doll dress came hopping down the steps.

“Oh, poor fellow. Is he still breathing?” It hopped up on his chest. The doctor grunted and his eyes began to flicker.

“Oh!” the girl looked at Asmodeus. “What do we do with him?”

[May I have this dance, ?]

Lean and measuring at a rather significant height of 6-feet, George Handson couldn't have appeared more out of place within the currently fog-filled and eerie hallway of the Society.

His clothes bore a multitude of bright and complementary colors--An orchid purple with crisscrossing lines of white for the suit jacket, a fluffy cloud's grey on his waistcoat, accents of gold shimmering against the violet of his tie--and fit him like a second skin, painstakingly tailored to his exact measurements. He even bore a lovely purple Columbine flower pinned to the left lapel of his jacket.

As for the man himself, he had hardly reached his thirties, and seemed to have the benefit of more than a handful of attractive features--Striking dark eyes, silky-brown hair, and a dazzling smile tended to get one far in life, after all.

However, at the moment, both his looks and dress were severely dampened by the strange and frightening surroundings he found himself in and the anxiety they prompted. His only hope lay in continuing his trek through the unfamiliar corridors and finding someone willing and able to offer assistance.
