Mr. Psycho slapped Veronica’s hands. “Unhand me you foul pervert!” He shrieks. “Now I could easily sue you for sexual harassment, and in animus, I’m the judge, the jury, The people watching the case, the lawyers, the guards, the camera crew.. If there is any. And The Executioner.” He laughs hysterically, then turns around and looms above Lain. “Hello my little Elfin… Your sweetness sings carols in my ear drums” He smiles sharply.

Veronica crossed her arms and shrugged as she motioned out the chapel, saying, "I forgot how weird you were.".

"he's not too fond of large crowds..."
"I guess that isn't an advantage when everyone keeps together all the time around here." Rosa said, scratching her head, he look of concern subsiding as Syl mentioned that this person may be able to assist them. "But if he's any help at all it can only be a good thing he appeared here now."
Rosa was suspicious but didn't let it show. Was it just some coincidence that this figure had just now appeared in Animus, when Syl needed it the most, or what something more foul going on? Rosa would need to keep a close eye on developments to make sure this wasn't some manipulative act orchestrated by Animus.
< *** >
Maz grinned at how flustered Lain seemed to get when he appeared. Apparently he wasn't the only one with some form of interest in the other, although he realized that they may be too very different forms of interest.
"So, What's up?"
"Well, everyone seems to be running around like a headless chicken while not actually achieving anything." Maz said, his grin turning into a small smile. "But that is to be expected when people have no clue what they're doing. Speaking off, who are you practicing your ninja skills on exactly?

Karashi was getting worse, and she tried to hold onto her consciousness as best she could. She smiled weakly at Syl, holding onto him for support. She tried to talk, but ended up coughing violently. Why was it always her? She knew that she had caused the tar thing, but she had been ill even before that. The tar had just made it worse. She coughed again, then looked at Syl. "I-I'm sorry........" With that, she went limp, slipping into unconsciousness.

Syl shrugged.
"I dunno, really," it said. "You can't really assume that he just appeared here now. From what I know, hospitals, clinics, research labs, among other locations are favourite places for him to stay in."
Syl led them along several corridors, up several floors and past the many mindless that worked here - doctors, nurses, orderlies... they all passed them by without even looking at them. The halls were squeaky clean, the sheets were nice and white, the beds neat and ready... The only difference from a typical hospital was that there relatively few patients. Syl's thoughts were concentrated on Asri the whole time... it couldn't believe it... He... was real... really here...
Then again, if Asri was staying here, he would have helped out a bit... some evidence of his presence must be lying around here somewhere... it was... probably not obvious though. Despite his many mental problems, he still had preserved his creativity, intelligence and 'knack' (among other qualities) for being able to create endless cures for just about anything he contracted. Syl didn't know how he could manage to do that... but... desperate men do desperate things... don't they? Syl mentally chuckled at that thought. He had just mentally quoted Chains, one of the most unsavoury characters in the city. Asri had his merits, though. He wasn't just a walking bag of flaws - he was a person, and one of Syl's best friends. Some memories had returned to Syl when they re-established their link, all of them happy time when Syl was dragging around Asri around a city and they were having the time of their lives.
Still... Syl was dimly aware of Asri's limits, but at the moment it chose to ignore them. It wanted to be optimistic for Karashi's sake, rather than wallow in its own helplessness now like Asri probably would have done.
"I hope he'll be able to help you, miss Karashi," said Syl, its voice trembling a bit, "I'm doing my best to be optimistic for you."
Asri was very close now.
He was in a lab at the end of the hallway, on the highest floor of the hospital, probably so that he could get out every now and then to stretch his wings. It would only be for a short while, so that he wouldn't be noticed. It wasn't that Asri wasn't fond of people (or at least that's what Syl believed) - it was because of his curse. Asri's curse controlled many aspects of his life, to the point where it became a part of him, just as he became a part of it. It was sad, but the good news was that Asri had an extraordinarily strong will. He had survived things that would have torn other humans apart, such as saving fallen angels, being able to carry on living in pain for a great deal of time, for Syl's sake, confronting humanity's darkest nightmares and more. It was why Syl had a great deal of respect for him, and why it was determined to meet him again, now that it had regained some of its memory. Syl then spotted a room with beds in it, in this part of the seperated by curtains and each surrounded by various machines. It set down Karashi down on one of the beds (for it knew that the labs didn't have any) and returned to Rosa.
"He's in a lab near here," said Syl, it ran each of those memories in its mind, like a film. "I can sense him, and... I've... just gotten some of my memories back.... so... I just..."
Tears came to its eyes.
"It's been so long..." it whispered. "H-he's one of my b-best friends... my... f-family... and... um... he's been th-through a lot... not all of it... very pleasant... so... please be nice to him... okay?"
Syl tried to wipe them away, stuttering.
"I'm sorry... for acting like this... all of a sudden... but... please understand... I haven't seen him... in so long... and now I-I realize..."
_____________________________________________________________________________
Inside the lab, Asri sighed. He had his head within a cupboard, searching for ingredients with which to create his medicines. Kiel had already briefed him on the situation of the city, and had told him that he would be keeping a close eye on all of the groups, to monitor their progress. When it had spies out all over the city watching everyone like hawks, it had a good reason for it: Syl's safety. Curiosity was a factor as well.
Unlike Syl, Asri was careful to read the labels and pick which medicine was a good candidate for his custom-made cocktails, which featured human medicines with more outlandish herbs that he had brought over with him to Animus. Asarek's herb supply and species diversity was limited, but he worked with what he had. Kiel had warned Asri that this might happen, and asked him to be prepared. Kiel...
That one was amazing, really. It had tried its best to ensure that they had... the best life possible... And while Asri's luck wasn't the best, being with Syl made it worthwhile to endure those pains.
Asri had sensed it approaching, along with an unknown aura, part-demon from the looks of it. Like Syl, he had some ability to sense aura, although his range was smaller. He remembered that the link had been... reopened... Syl... this was... real...
"... Syl?" he whispered.

Rosa followed Syl through the halls of the hospital, noticing the mindless moving slowly throughout the hospital. She still held a lot of contempt for Animus for causing this form of suffering to residents who could no longer cope. Taking away their individuality, their thoughts and beliefs, their dreams and desires. Everything that makes a person an individual stripped away for no other reason than not being able to cope with everything Animus throws at its residents.
Rosa picked up on the aura as they got closer to Syl's friend. Her aura sensing skills were not as refined as Viscum's, who could gain a great deal of information about an individual by simply viewing their aura, but she could tell this being was in no way human and that there was definitely something off putting about his biological makeup, although she couldn't narrow down what it was exactly.
Rosa was caught off guard when Syl became emotional, having already become used to Syl's happy perky nature. Syl's obvious distress was difficult for her to watch and she wasn't entirely sure what to do. Rosa knew Syl loved sugar, but she didn't have access to any inside of the hospital. Instead Rosa ruffled Syl's hair in a comforting manner and when she spoke her tone was kind and calm.
"Don't worry about a thing Syl. We'll go meet you friend and soon everything will be alright. Then we'll go and get you some sugar, how does that sound?"

Syl nodded, smiling.
"That sounds great!" it said happily, hugging Rosa, "I just... don't want you getting angry or anything, after I saw your reaction when miss Karashi told us she was raped... His past is rough too, although I don't know much more than that... and well..."
It looked at where it had set down Karashi. At this rate, it didn't know how long her strength would hold out.
Syl sighed, still smiling.
"Well, if Karashi is to be saved, I think he'll be able to do it, and the sooner the better. I'm going in."
With those words, Syl turned around and swung open the door, to the point where it made a loud noise as it hit the button-thingy on the wall.
"Asri!" called Syl.
"Ow!"
Asri was startled when Syl barged in so suddenly, and by accident, had hit his head against the top of the cupboard. He sat, rubbing his head, groaning in pain, thankful that he wasn't holidng anything when Syl surprised him.
Concerned, Syl ran over to him, kneeling down beside him.
"Oh, sorry, Asri," it said.
Asri shrugged and got to his feet.
"No, it's alright," he said, smiling back at Syl.
Syl smiled back, as tears once again began to come to its eyes. Seeing Asri after so long... and remembering who he was... It was all a bittersweet experience. It was sweet because of how much Syl now had missed him, but bitter because it wished that he had been there when it first awakened here. Still, it brought a sense of relief to Syl, that at least someone would be there to watch over it in Kiel's absence, even if he was weak by angel standards.
The experience was mostly sweet on Asri's part. He was overjoyed at being able to see Syl again... that was why he had been doing whatever he could in Heaven to find out where Syl and Kiel had disappeared to. He wanted to find them again; being in Heaven was quite lonely with only work to keep him company. While it was true that he had some angel friends in Heaven, he treasured none of them more than Syl. Syl, overcome with emotion, then tightly hugged Asri. Asri hugged him back, overwhelmed with similar emotions.
"It's good to see you again, Syl," he said, tears also welling up in his eyes. Soon, they began to roll down his cheeks.
Syl buried its face into Asri's chest, crying as well, sad that they had been separated, but happy that they were together once again.
"I thought I'd never see you again," whispered Syl.
Asri nodded.
"It's been a while."
They stayed locked in that embrace for what seemed like forever, before slowly separating. They wiped away their tears as they stood in front of each other, smiling, with Syl looking into Asri's eyes and vice versa, simply happy that they were reunited.
It was then, then Syl realized that Rosa was there. It scolded itself for not paying attention to her... she'd probably watched the whole thing, without been introduced to him... Syl waved at her.
"I suppose an introduction is needed," it said to her cheerfully, "since you two haven't met!"
It happily pulled on Asri's sleeve, grinning at him.
"Come on, Asri, no need to be nervous..."
Asri was at a loss of what to say, and quite nervous at meeting Syl's other friend. What had Syl become? It flipped between sadness and happiness so easily... Kiel had told Asri that Syl had amnesia... but to the point where it changed its personality so much... it caught him off guard...
"I... um... ah..."

“Hello my little Elfin… Your sweetness sings carols in my ear drums” Lain grinned at Mr. P Giving him a small wave before returning her attention to Maz.
"Well, everyone seems to be running around like a headless chicken while not actually achieving anything." Mmm.. Chicken I'm hungry.. Stay focused Lain!
"But that is to be expected when people have no clue what they're doing. Speaking off, who are you practicing your ninja skills on exactly?
"Hey! I know exactly what I'm doing thank you very much! And it's a secret but maybe I'll let you in on it some other time." She replied poking her tongue at him as she finished. Maneuvering past him, she trotted down the steps and carried on down the corridor, tracking Syl. It was a lot easier to track people when she'd used her powers on them, it left a sort of 'Radiating energy'.

Karashi frowned, feeling dizzy. She held her head to try and stop the dizziness, but it didn't work. Everything was swirling around her, and she suddenly fell off the bed and onto the floor with a thump. She had fallen into unconsciousness.

Mr. Psycho smiled at the Elfins little wave. He then approached the man that was talking to Lain. “Hello there Mr. Male, your presence entertains me, why does it do this? Because your presence enjoy the presence of a little Elfin” Mr. Psycho said as he laughed hysterically, and if one listened to his laughter carefully the sounds of screaming innocence can be heard. His beady pupils search the new man, looking for any sort of weakness, he probably wouldn’t use it against him, but that’s just one of his favorite past times; guessing peoples weaknesses. He then smiles his sharpest, a smile that could break two loved ones apart, a smile that could destroy a religion, a smile that belonged to Mr. Psycho.

The laughing this guy has a habit of constantly is certainly a drumming to the fine line of rational talk and sending somone crazy and attack something. I don't know where I'm fitting on that line at the moment.
"My name's Krauvitch. Bruce Krauvitch, and you?" Extending my hand towards the escalating form of the maniacle man.

Mr. Psycho spins on his heels, so he faced Bruce. “I once met a man named Bruce, he begged for his life before I consumed him” Mr. Psycho laughed hysterically. “The name is Mr. Psycho, and you will remember it, you will remember me, I will become your most desirable dreams and your most horrific nightmares” Mr. Psycho said, as he smiled. “Now I have proposed you with a choice, taking in what I just said, will you take this as a threat? Or understand that your meeting some one that lacks social skills, buts makes up for these skill else where” He winked at Bruce, “Does my babbling confuse? Or frustrate? Does my presence anger? Or arouse?” He then looked deep into Bruce’s eyes, as if he was ripping out Bruce’s heart and feasting upon it right in front of him.

I held my ground staring with my neck slightly tilted to look up, back into his piercing eyes. "Ok then," I relax a bit and shrug my shoulders, allies are always good even if they're temporary and this guy was a complete freak in my experience the psychos are the most handy just depends which kind you landed yourself with. "So what now?"

Mr. Psycho smiled sweetly. “What now did I hear? What now? Well, maybe you should convince me not to attack people with this axe here I just came across” Mr. Psycho pulled a long axe out of his pocket, that looked horrifically malicious, it sings sadism. “Actually, maybe you’re the type to convince me to attack some one” He giggles “You sure look like it, I bet you have a nasty past. Most people here have, its like a soap opera, if you gave them all abilities and amplified the violence about a thousand times, and added that they all woke up in a mysterious city, that’s our lives” He laughs hysterically, he slowly starts to pet the head of the axe. Then he blows Bruce a kiss.
