Sure. I can wait. she pauses, thinking about how much she loves hats. How does one explain? I love how they keep my hair dry when it's raining. The way certain hats accent perfectly with the outfit I'm wearing. And all the varieties. There are berets, fedoras, western, bucket hats, trilbies. Oh, I love trilbies. The right girl in a trilby, just melts me. She's running out of things to say. Uh, how about you?

"Now you're worried about me too? Geez, I will be alright people." Irena insists, though she would pay to hear Nadia explain this to Macario, but here she was supposed to met these people. "Anyway, I'll be back as soon as possible, you won't have to wait long!" She says before attempting to give Nadia a quick kiss and head out the door to go to the meeting place. The kiss is partly to tease Nadia.
[Suncrest Manor - Some Other Time]
"Uh... yeah, but aren't they sort of the same thing?" Though the more she thinks about it, maybe not. "You don't have to be concerned about it though Nadia."

Nadia returns the kiss, but she glances at the Enforcers out of the corner of her eye. Macario looks obviously put off, while Renato looks as impassive as he has since they got there. Even so, the lampades gives Irena's a hand a squeeze before she departs. "Come back soon."
Once Irena is gone, she leads the two Enforcers inside to discuss how this was going to work.
[Suncrest Manor - Some Other Time]
Nadia shakes her head at Irena's question, but she doesn't explain further right that second. "Of course I have to be concerned. Everything that causes you any kind of pain is my concern, and I'll always be here to help you in any way I can."

"I like them hiiigh as a house! A true beaver made of beaver ornate with gold and the musk from a crocodile! Can you imagine such a hat? Or a trilby made of dragon skin with the soft insides of a werebear. If it hadn't been murder, I would have made such hats right now!" She explains. "Do you have any hats with you? I really like to look at them."
[Suncrest Manor]
Irena hopes the discussion is caught by the security cameras as she starts to head towards the meeting place she was directed to, keeping an eye out for mysterious strangers.
[Malechenar]
"And what caused these changes?" Harold asks.
[Suncrest Manor - Some Other Time]
"Yeah, but it's not important Nadia. It was years ago after all. Let's concentrate on something else, like what we're going to eat tonight." Irena says with a faint smile.
[Eastside Disturbance]
"Of course." The demon replies. "This way if you please..." She will then lead them through a short corridor into a room guarded by a very thick door which appears to be newly installed. The room is perfectly white and perfectly sterile. "Here the injection chamber will be. As you see we already installed the door, but here there is going to be a seat where we inject our clienst are we sedated them, just in case. Violent transformations are very rare but for the safety of our staff and clients we prefer to keep them under check a few hours before we let them out. We also run some check ups with clients after we released them so there aren't any other problems." She explains.
Mindscape
"I know it's dangerous, but by the same logic, her unconscious will only grow more powerful and harder to reach the longer I wait until it might actually start hurting people. So far it's my best lead to figure this out."

Re: [Nexus] Riverside 11
Mindscape
Mind Astrana looks back down at the hole.
Hmm
"It doesn't seem to be Growing stronger." What? "Eadelain got a... look at it when you tried hypnosis. And through my lens, I can see that it's not actually growing stronger. How do I say this? It's like two or three bottles connected by airtight valves, and one is full of a high-pressure gas. You open the first valve a bit, and the gas begins to spread into the next container. The amount of gas isn't changing, but it's in a larger area, and hypothetically could have a larger effect."
Disturbingly, as Mental Astrana has this revelation, dark shadowy stuff flows up her legs and back, into her head. Mental Astrana herself looks unchanged, but appears to be unaware of this.

Re: [Nexus] Riverside 11
[Suncrest Manor => Meeting Place]
Irena has to go a ways to get tot he meeting place. Driving would have been easier, but walking is far less potentially disastrous. She arrives at the address and finds that it's a small grocery store. One you'd expect to be family owned or something like that.
[Suncrest Manor - Some Other Time]
"Alright, Irena." Nadia concedes willingly. She wasn't going to push Irena to talk about it if she didn't want to. Maybe some other time. "As for supper, maybe we should try cooking something. We did plan on doing that after all."
[Malechenar]
"I'd... rather not talk about i if that's fine with you. It's a part of my life I want to put behind me. It was another person here in the Nexus, though." Valente says.

Re: [Nexus] Riverside 11
[Suncrest Manor => Meeting Place]
Irena peers inside the store window before she cautiously enters it to see what's in there.
[Quest to find Secret Slave Society]
"That's fine, should I send scabbers to get them for you? I think I need a few more moments. Need to redo all my stitches." The voice replies.
[Malechenar]
"I ensure you that I don't want to invade your private life, but Rhye have ensures me that the nature of this change is very important. So without mentioning any names, do you know what cased this effect?" The vampire asks.
[Outside the tavern]
As Eshadu and the soldiers leave, the gargoyles are still out there, perched upon nearby buildings, looking down at the group without as much as moving. Still like statues they watch them slowly leave.
They are however, not alone as something underneath the ground is stirring, following the group underneath their feet.
Mindscape
Astrana shudders noticeably. She wanted to solve this, but what of the wards didn't held? She had no idea what that black stuff actually did, but it probably wasn't anything good. What if she was infected without even knowing it? The mind Astrana didn't seem to notice. "Still, it spreads and that isn't good. If your parable is correct, the darkness probably is less condense it other areas..." She wasn't sure how much more she should tell her counterpart considering the darkness might be controlling now or something.
[Suncrest Manor - Some Other Time]
"I want to make tacos." Irena suggests. "I bought some taco bread yesterday... that's what they call it right? Taco bread?"

"Or this might be the least dense area, or it could be one of the denser ones. It's impossible to say, especially with this mindscape. It's interesting that the natural mindscape is a riverside projection, but it also makes sense considering her amnesia."
The black has stopped flowing into her, presumably since Mind Astrana isn't thinking about the darkness anymore? This is confusing and foreboding.

Andromeda eyes the Installation Room with a mild expression of distaste. "I suppose that's logical enough. I presume that any...violence, would subside once the transformation is complete."

Re: [Nexus] Riverside 11
[Meeting Place]
Irena will first see an old man standing behind the counter near the door. His hair has long since went grey, though it must have been very light to begin with, and there are more than a few wrinkles marking his skin. He's not helping anyone at the moment, but rather arranging the candy bar display.
Standing over by the coolers is a young girl, no older than ten. She's a scrawny little thing and has a short bob of blond hair. As Irena looks at her, she hefts one of several milk jugs off the floor and puts them in the cooler.
Lastly, there is an elderly couple poking around the shelves and putting a few items into a small cart. Looks like they're picking up a few groceries.
When the man at the counter notices the witch, he adjusts his glasses and greets her with a smile. "Is there anything I can help you with?"
[Suncrest Manor]
Nadia leads the two men inside and to the dining room. "So, can I get you anything?" She offers.
"That's fine." Macario says. "So this is all... Irena's? That was her name, right?" He gestures vaguely at the house around them.
"...Yes." Nadia answers hesitantly.
"So what are you two, some kind of item?"
Nadia purses her lips. "She's my fiancée."
Macario is obviously surprised to hear that, and even Renato looks at her suddenly, although his expression is impossible to read behind his helmet. "And the baby?"
"It's complicated, and I wouldn't want to talk to you about it anyway." Nadia curls her arms around her stomach.
"I can't say I like the idea of a child being raised in an environment like this. What kind of ideas would they get?"
Nadia winces, as if she'd been struck physically. "Who asked you anyway?"
The vampire snorts. "No one, I suppose."
"Just... just do your job." Nadia stalks out of the room before he can say another word. She leans against the wall in the next room. "Leave me alone."
[Suncrest Manor - Some Other Time]
"Tortillas." Nadia corrects. "And that sounds great. I think we need cheese, hamburger, tomatoes, lettuce maybe, I've only had them, like, once before. And I never made them either. They look pretty easy, though."
[Malechenar]
Valente shakes his head. "I really don't know the exact cause, just how it happened." He says.

Re: [Nexus] Riverside 11

Redo all your stitches? No, no. I'll just sit down here and wait, if that's okay with you. Without waiting for an answer, Bianca sits down. She reaches into a nearby shadow and, after a moment of scrounging, pulls out an old cowboy hat badly in need of repair. It's a dark red suede, with a black leather band around the crown that is partially torn off.
She then reaches into another part of the shadow, as if choosing another pocket, and after a moment pulls out a set of needles and black thread. And so she begins trying to fix her ancient, worn only once before, hat.*Stab* Ow! grumble grumble. Stupid frickin' needle. she sticks her thumb in her mouth, to soothe the fresh pin-prick.

Re: [Nexus] Riverside 11

Irena strolls towards the counter, looking around the place. So this was one of those mafia restaurants huh? "Yeah..." She says while leaning conspiratorially towards the counter. "I heard you could buy certain... favors here." She basically went with all the accumulated knowledge she had of mobster movies here. You needed a lot of ellipsis if you wanted to be suggestive.
[Suncrest Manor - Some Other Time]
"We need hamburgers for tacos? Won't that be like eating hamburgers then?" The witch asks with a raised eyebrow. How confusing.
[Malechenar]
"Valente, what you say stay between us. I'm not interested in your past, just in this condition. The fourth tower have expressed interest in it as well so they might soon ask you the same questions. I can promise you however that the information you share will be treated very confidentially if you feel the need of privacy. Secrecy is something of a specialty of mine." Harold argues.
Mindscape
"Yes, with nothing there she projects what she see instead." Astrana agrees, suddenly realizing that this might count as talking to herself. "In any case, what would happen if you stepped inside that void? You're technically a part of her mind after all." Or was the mind-Astrana a part of her that manifested separately when she entered the mind? No, that wouldn't make much sense.
[Quest to find Secret Slave Society]
"Okay, just give me a few moment moments dear." The female voice replies. As Bianca is mumbling it speaks up again however. "Did you say something? I'm almost done!"

Re: [Nexus] Riverside 11

"I... true."
She seems to think for a bit. Unlike last time, there isn't an insightful revelation... or a stream of shadows.
"Presumably, I'm her subconscious projection of you, what she thinks of you, who she thinks you are. Going in there... might alter me, and from there what she thinks of you. And, of course, considering that we know that this power is connected to Eadelain's subconsciousness in some way, it might actually change you. Especially while you're connected to her mind like this. However, this might not be a risk. I don't know. Have you tried introducing anything else to the power?"

Re: [Nexus] Riverside 11

The man gives her a puzzled look. "Flavours? Flavours of what? I'm not sure I understand what you mean." So much for that working.
[Suncrest Manor - Some Other Time]
"Not hamburgers. I mean ground beef. I think there's some kind of seasoning you get for it too." Nadia clarifies. "We can probably look it up."
[Malechenar]
Valente sighs. "Alright. It was the leader of AMEN, Ilpholin, that did it. Besides that and what I told you already, that's all I know."

"No, favors... I need something done and I heard that this was the place to go to." Now she just felt clumsy.
[Suncrest Manor - Some Other Time]
"Ah, right. That makes more sense." She replies, and the scene can probably fade out now.
[Malechenar]
"So you don't know how she did it?" Harold continues to question, his tone completely neutral, not betraying any hints of how likely he might think this really is.
Mindscape
"I really wish I could, the only thing I have been able to try are books and they return to the same place where they were, but tainted with that inky substance. Theoretically I could attempts to use the mindscape's representation of Cynthia... but I couldn't do that." She says with a glance at the little demon. "The idea however is that the wards are supposed to protect me from such influence when I go there."

"It hasn't been able to break wards, yet. It has tried, though. If Eadelain wakes up too much, it may try again." She looks over her shoulder in the general direction of Eadelain's mental room. "Of course, we aren't trying to communicate with it in the material realm this time. You aren't. I'm not?"
The world may never know, Eadelain's Notion of Astrana. With luck this will be the only time such pronoun troubles are an issue.

"Oh, I'm sorry. My hearing's going in my old age. You want my son. I think he's in the back right now." The man points to a door at the back of the store. "Go right ahead. You should be able to find him fine."
[Suncrest Manor - Some Other Time]
Nadia gets off Irena's lap and pulls her to her feet. "Let's go see what we can do." And they do indeed go to prepare tacos off screen.
[Malechenar]
"She ah... well, she bit me." Valente says awkwardly. He really wishes she never had to talk about this.

Bianca rolls her eyes, when the mystery lady announces it'll be "a few more moments", then gets back to her needle work. It was nothing. Just jabbed myself with a needle. Bianca answers the question.
But the whole time she's thinking nasty thoughts against the hat woman. Something along the lines of evisceration.

"Less then 10 % of our clients." Tibatha explains. "As for aggression, that's the reason we are trying to check up our clients mentally both before and after the process. If there are signs of aggression however, we suggest that they should revert back. They usually don't listen to our advice however, I can't recall a single case where someone have wanted to return back to the way they were actually."
[Quest to find Secret Slave Society]
As Bianca is sitting there, the door suddenly opens, revealing a woman in a gigantic purple top hat. Her skin is grey with black combed hair which hangs just past her shoulders. She looks kind of dead frankly, even if you look past the grey skin there are visible stitches across her arms which are a different color then the rest of her body.The green turtleneck she's wearing might even cover up more such stitches. "Hello! Come on in!" She exclaims with a wide smile.
[Meeting Place]
"Ah, right." The door in the back, now this was more like it. She casually walks up to it and enters as if she was working there, this was the place where they hid all the bodies she mused.
[Malechenar]
"So she injected you with something through the bite? Or was it more like a sea vampires kiss?" Harold asks.
