OOC: Here's a mid point break in the Chapter. With everyone at the hospital, this is where both threads intersect.
"Hey Roth!"
Veronica held the door open for Syl as she heard Johnny call out her name. Veronica motioned towards Johnny and Arqus.
"Have you met Viscum?", Johnny asked.
"I don't believe I have.", Veronica replied as she turned away from Johnny and extended her hand to Viscum. "Good afternoon."
"Apparently, Viscum has been in the city for quite awhile and as far as we both know, Trace's is gone."
"What do you mean?".

Rosa and Maz saw Viscum a few seconds before he noticed them, having been too involved in conversation to sense their presence ahead of time. Rosa rushed up to Viscum, shouting his name as she got closer. Viscum turned around and smiled as he saw his Siblings arrive. It had been a while since they were all together, and all three of them had information beneficial to the others.
"It's good to see you've not done anything stupid." Viscum said with a smile as he looked at Rosa.
"She almost set a man on fire." Maz answered in a joking tone.
"He deserved it." Rosa said, pretending to pout.

Arqus smiled at Veronica when he saw her. She was with a small group. The only one he recognized was Syl.
"Oh Great." Bremmen immediately commented, upon seeing Syl. "More trolls."
Arqus furrowed his eyebrows, not really liking Bremmen's rude remarks.

Veronica crossed her arms as she looked at them and said, "Let's back track to make sure I got everything. First, Trace is gone?."
"Correctamundo.", Johnny replied.
"And you three,", Veronica said as she turned to Rosa, Maz, and Vicsum, "Apparently know each other and have been here for some time?".

"Apparently know each other and have been here for some time?"
Viscum nodded at the first remark, but realized that they didn't quite understand what he meant by having been here before.
"We're family. Rosa is my sister and Mazrin my brother. We were here before during a different time, when there weren't so many mindless roaming the streets as there are now. Before the Black Goat took over. We've been gone for god knows how long. The last time we were here was before the Black Goat took over, back during the time of the Priestess and her set of residents. Trace was present as well."
Rosa flinched at the mention of Trace's name. Apparently he must have found a way back to Animus, out of hell. But he was gone now, that she knew, but she didn't understand how he got back or where he disappeared to.
"The last time we were here..." Viscum looked back at Rosa and Maz. Rosa nodded and Maz looked impassive, not worried about what they knew. "We were working for Animus."

Veronica motioned close to them as she asked, "You knew the Priestess? And Animus, my suspicions were correct, it is a living entity."

Karashi looked at Syl and smiled weakly. She was beginning to like him even more. "Sure........" She coughed, sending herself into a coughing fit. It hurt with every cough she made. She wondered how long she had before she would die. She shook her head, getting the negative thought out of her head. She smiled again at Syl weakly. "I-Is he cute..........?" Her voice sounded weak and fragile, and was barely audible. It hurt for her to talk, but she tried hard not to show it, so as not to get Syl worried.

Anya moved inside the hospital quietly, her gaze taking in the surroundings, and the others. She stood off to the side from them, silent, her gaze drifting to the ground.

Johnny's eyes caught Anya motioning inside the hospital. Running towards her, Johnny tapped her on the shoulder and said, "It's been awhile since I've seen ya'. Where've you been, kid?".

Anya glanced to Johnny when he tapped her shoulder and smiled at him. "I've been around," she replied softly.

Bruce entered the hospital and saw Veronica, the crazy religious fanatic. Well there's a few more people here but by the looks of things they all seemed to be aquainted with eachoter and so, in my mind anyway, had the same ideas on life. So I make my past everyone and start to look at a map of the city posted large on the wall.

Veronica hadn't heard back from the siblings.
Watching, Bruce walk into the hospital, she turned to Arqus and the siblings and said, "Excuse me.", before heading Bruce's way.
Veronica slowly approached Bruce and said, "Still lost, I take it?".
Johnny noticed Veronica's motions towards the stranger and kept an eye on her as he replied to Anya, "I was worried you found a way out and wouldn't tell us about it.".

"Still lost, I take it?".
Bruce let out a grunt and kept his body facing the map and his back to Veronica, he knew he was going about this the wrong way, even though he wanted make up with the group he knew he couldn't because from earlier on Bruce had made his judgement on these people and they seemed like they would pull a childish move like they had won some stupid argument. Bruce wanted no part of it.
