Transient Estate

As such, Aniv was speechless after witnessing what just happened. The only thing he could do at the moment is tilt his head, and say "... lolwut?"

"Oneechan..." Drehen said, concern filling her voice. That stone...it's...

Suddenly, Drehen's expression shifted. Her eyes dulled and she stared straight ahead, as if she wasn't looking at anything at all.

"Ysera. We have to get your stone back. Focus on that. This dog-boy...if you were him, where would you go? What would you do? Focus on that, too," Drehen said.

"If I was the dog boy... I would..." She thought heavily. It came naturally to her mind. "... Return to my master."

Get the stone back... Get the stone back... Kill the girl... Get the stone back

Focusing on something was hard. Her mind kept shifting. "I can't... I can't concentrate..."

"Come on, Ysera. Hold it together. Who could the dog-boy's master be?" Drehen asked. She's starting to have trouble...I know I can't blame myself for her deciding to give that stone up...but I have to help her find it!

Seeing how, apparently frozen in confusion, the person with the gas mask started to talk.

"Eh, my name is Aniv de la Rev, but friends call me Eox. I'm a medic, just in case anyone cares, and sorry for the stench. I was doing field research on medical flowers" He said as he shifted his eyes towards his item bag.

Looks over at a nearby wall "We do get visitors just not as many at once.."thinking to herself how odd the sudden visitors came all at the same time.Leads the two ladies back to the entrance to meet Sevhian seeing as how she heard his dramatic "Ow" downstairs.
Sees two more guests promptly walking over
"Welcome to the Transient Estate,I hope you enjoy your stay here"

"Master... She's-" she stopped immediately as a cold chill passed by. A second later, holes burst out in blood all over her body. The pain was terrible... So terrible no scream came out. She simply fell down to her knees and finally on the ground.

The chill had disappeared. No traces left behind.

As Ysera fell, Drehen sensed it. Someone...moved by here extremely quickly. That dog-boy!

Helping Ysera up, Drehen whispers, "Ysera...I'm going to set up a trap for him. Calm down, and as soon as you sense that chill again, just think "release", okay?" Somewhat louder, she adds, "Hold still. I'll patch you up, oneechan."

Placing her hands on Ysera's shoulder, Drehen channels psychic energy to her. The pain subsides slightly, and the wounds begin to heal.

Ysera nodded. "I'll try..." Once she's completely healed, she stood on her own, and connected with the boy again. "Master is..."

As soon as she felt the chill again, she thought of the word she had to think.

Release

As Ysera thought of the word, the trap triggered in turn.

Lähm.

Suddenly, the dog-boy's limbs locked up, sending him sprawling to the ground in front of Ysera and Drehen.

"Please give us back the stone," Drehen requested of him. Though the words themselves were polite, Drehen's tone was very hostile.

"Heh... Do you think I'd be hanging around with that thing on me?" said Inu, looking at Drehen "As Ysera said... I went to my master. She has the stone now. Who knows what she did with it? Maybe it doesn't exist anymore..."

"Then we'll get it back from her!" shouted Ysera. "And you're not going to interfere anymore!" she took one of her hair. It grew long and sharp like a blade. She held it over Inu.

He grinned. "Can you really do it? Silly human"

As soon as he said that word, she screamed. She shook her head no and held it, going crazy.

Crap...this is bad... Drehen thought, watching the scene before her. Walking up to Ysera, she pressed their foreheads together, to aid in a telepathic suggestion.

Calm down, Ysera. Focus on the stone. Don't think about anything except how to get your stone back.

"And you..." Drehen said, glaring at Inu. "WHERE IS YOUR MASTER?!" she screamed, smashing her fist into Inu's face.

Inu received the punch, but merely chuckled. A giant black fist came out of his chest punching Drehen away. He stood up, dusted his clothes and put his trusty tophat back on. "Why don't you ask your crazed friend, milady?" he said. He charged towards her, taking out his handguns. He smashed her face with one as she was standing up, following it up with a bullet from the other handgun. She successfully dodged, though the bullet slightly scratched her face, and Inu was promptly pushed away. She threw a ball of energy towards him in midair to blast him.

Inu shot towards the ceiling, making his own body rotate in midair into a backflip, barely grazing the projectile. Even though he moved like that, his body was still paralized... The "trap" was still in effect. He charged towards her, passed through her, making her vision fade, having the same effect Ysera had.

When her vision returned, she was in a barren field with nothing around but dust. Inu was sitting on the grounds a bit farther away, his legs crossed. "Welcome to my mind space... Drehen." he said with a small smile.

(with coordination with Neko&Inu)
"Hmph. You have some nerve, challenging me to a psionic duel," Drehen said coldly.

"It is quite a gamble, isn't it? I love gambling..." Inu replied with a smirk.

"Heh. I don't buy that."

"Then try me," Inu said, bowing elegantly.

Gently raising her finger, Drehen fired a single energy shot at Inu, only to have it disappear in midair.

"About what I expected. This field of "nothingness" works to your advantage." Drehen remarked.

"I couldn't afford the risk of revealing my mind to you," Inu explained.

"Somehow, I doubt there's much to reveal," Drehen retorted coldly.

Inu chuckled. "Don't be rude, now..."

"Rude? No..." Drehen said, trailing off at the end. Her eyes once again going blank, Drehen stared straight ahead, at a point just behind Inu's head. "Created eight years ago. A clone; identification number 19U83. Possesses limited control over darkness. Heightened physical abilities. But...what I don't understand is why you're willing to create so much havoc. Your master's order is one thing, but it goes against your principles. Doesn't that bother you? Doesn't it?"

Inu looked down, his face hidden by his hat. After a few seconds of silence, he answered, "I trust you. Protect her..." Looking away into the distance, he remarked, "There's no going against this mansion..."

"The culprit is someone in the mansion...I suppose I should've known," Drehen said. "Then, let's call this a draw, then."

"As you wish," Inu replied. "I won't fight the unwilling. Don't let me down..." With a backward glance at Drehen, he added, "And I can't promise we'll be where we were when I make the mindspace disappear."

"Heh. I'm getting used to being lost in this mansion, anyway," she snarks.

Inu dropped the mindspace, taking himself and Drehen out of it...

Silently she roams the manor searching,she stops for a moment hearing lively chatter.
Walking slowly towards the staircase peering below at this lively group,having found something relevant to her interests she smiles. She spies with her little eye,this dark form of a being staring up at her,putting one finger to her mouth"shh"ing her smile turning into a grin as she walks back into the darkness.

Continues lurking around believing she found the right spot as she comes across a unconscious dragon-like thing on the floor.
Waiting in the shadows for her prey to come forth,skillfully catching them with chains around their ankles she drags them down the hall and into the light.Stares blankly at the one without dog ears
"You may go"
leaving that person chained against the wall,she starts sliding down into the ground
"You on the other hand are coming with me"dragging him down as they both dissapear into the floor.

Optoer walked in the house, ducking to get through the door as he is very tall. He looked around the manor and sighed, wondering what he should do.

Drehen was stunned. "That attack...was way too fast," she griped, struggling against the chains.

"Oh my~ It seems like you have a problem," Regen said, suddenly appearing from around the corner.

"Nothing...I need your help with..." Drehen countered as she continued struggling.

"Well, well...Try focusing on the weak points instead of smashing it all at once."

"Like I need to be told that," Drehen complained once more, picturing the chains in her mind. There it is. Focusing on the weak points in the chain, she targeted and smashed them psychokinetically until enough were broken to wriggle free.

"Ysera!" Drehen shouted, running down the hall searching for her.

Ysera, which had fled the scene for not only her own but the others' safety, was now on the floor, unconscious a few meters away. It seems her own mind was too much for even herself to overcome...

Eventually, Drehen finds Ysera again, passed out in the hallway.

"*sigh* Ysera...please hang in there..." Drehen says, dragging her gently along.

*hey where ru going drak person? Well sev it's not like i really like being like that but i would not have discover so many things as i did without that condition. It's just getting a little lonely at time...*

Evelyn looks around thinking she heard something goes back to looking at the light ball
"Well there is quite a few people in this house for you to associate with,so I doubt you will be lonely anymore"

Let's rewind just a bit.

Regen was casually strolling through the hallway. I've almost got it ready...I really hope I know what I'm doing, though. Last thing I wanna do is create a time paradox...

Suddenly, she came across Drehen pinned against the wall with chains. Heh. I really was helpless back then, huh? After offering some snarky advice in her usual overconfident manner, she continued on her way. Once Drehen was out of sight, Regen's face suddenly turned sour.

She's already here...I've gotta pick up the pace. she thought momentarily, before teleporting to another section of the mansion.

The strange woman from before decides to leave the dogboy where ever she may have put him,continuing her exploration of the manor.Coming across the energy box of the house she decides to turn everything off liking the dark better than the light.Promptly all the lights in the house shut off.
