UNHOLY DISORDER

[livestage]

[Something is wrong with the room you are in.

At first blush, it seems normal enough. It's nicely furnished, lavish dark oak, brass and a rich green drapery and carpet. Except in the middle of the room, a simple glass box sits wrapped in chains. Inside, a heart rocks back and forth as it beats, chambers constricting and relaxing around air.

But the more you look around, you might notice that the rafters beyond the brass lamps are made of bone, spine connecting them all. You might notice that the binding on all of the books seems to be an unusual leather. You might notice that teeth have been used as nails.

You almost can't help but notice the strange ... give... under your feet. Whatever is under the carpet seems almost spongy.

You know, instinctively, that the heart is in danger.

But so are you.]

[He settles back to sit down on the ground, instead of attempting to make his way back up to his feet. It's easier to just stay down here.]

I'm okay. I just couldn't breath for a moment.

[And his chest had hurt.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[ crouching down next to him for a minute. ]

Okay. That's - not good, I'm not gonna lie, so just take your time and rest a sec. If... if you're able to keep going, I'm gonna try and help Phoenix, okay?

Re: DISCUSSION

[untilldeath]

Sure. Yeah.

[Swallowing thickly.]

Just... try and focus on him right now.

Re: DISCUSSION

[notlikeanyone]

[ touches his shoulder briefly, gentle squeeze. ]

Okay. I'll be right here if you need me though, yeah? Same as everyone else.

Re: DISCUSSION

[untilldeath]

[When there's finally a pause.]

So what are we thinking?

[He's managed to pull some paper and a pen out.]

We going alphabetically or something now?

Re: DISCUSSION

[notlikeanyone]

I think - alphabet, number of letters in the name, and cutting down on the possible Families are where we're going.

Re: DISCUSSION

[untilldeath]

[Now that he's had a chance to digest things more.]

There's a number of Siren's on the list.

Re: DISCUSSION

[notlikeanyone]

[ boy he is sure Forte cares about one particular Siren on that list the most but Sirens in general are pretty okay so. ]

Let's see if we can rule them out, then.

Re: DISCUSSION

[untilldeath]

[Do not perceive him.]

Yeah... might as well. It makes the most sense.

[And not because he has a personal stake in Siren's whatsoever.]
