ACTION: 1648 ALBRIGHT LANE

[When Rachel awakes from her dream, she doesn't know whether she wants to laugh at her own stupidity or get Nago to slap her in the face. To think she actually believed in such a thing... really, she was losing her touch. Now, she could only wait to see what sort of consequence would await her for making her choice.

ACTION: 1648 Albright Lane

[custodismundi]

[as soon as he'd seen the news report, his eyes had turned to the stairs.

he doesn't understand -- not any of it, not how this worked or how it had happened -right under his nose- yet again, but it had. disappeared... forever?

he is already convincing himself this is a lie, but there is one way to find out for sure. he's taking the stairs in two's, practically running to the second floor and toward her room. GUESS YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A VISITOR IN .2 SECONDS LITTLE MISSY.]

[queenofscarlet]

[CAN SHE NOT EVEN HAVE A MOMENT TO BE ANGSTY GOOD GOD THIS HOUSE SUCKS.

Which is to say whenever Abel flings himself into the room, he'll find Rachel already sitting up in bed and turning her head ever so slowly to glare at him. She can't even have a private moment to herself can she.......]

What.

[custodismundi]

[herping all the srs derps (is that... possible?) as he tosses the door ajar-- and...

...is stuck looking at her, in surprise...]

[custodismundi]

[but it doesn't take long for his face to fall.

...she's... gone?]

Miss... Rachel...

What did you do...?

action- town

[ghastlyinnghost]

[None of the names sounded familiar to Pamela, be it her terrible memory or not, but the idea that people could suddenly decide not to exist anymore still kind of fascinated her! Because seriously, why would you pass up the chance to become a ghost and haunt people for eternity.

But then the phone calls came in with people saying they were still there, and Pamela has decided to go and check it out!]

[queenofscarlet]

[Rachel doesn't know Pamela at all, but gathering information on anyone's opinion of what happened could serve some purpose. It's not like people she knows will believe her after all.]

You there. Might I ask for a moment of your time?

[ghastlyinnghost]

[Pamela sort of gives Rachel a curious look, as something seems off, but oh well...]

Hmmm? Hmm, hmm... oh, I suppose you could! I've got all the time in the world, hee hee...

[queenofscarlet]

I am trying to find a girl named Rachel Alucard. Would you happen to know where she is?

Home!

[kinships]

[As soon as he had seen the broadcast he felt his stomach lurch uncomfortably... there were people on that list he was starting to care for, as strange as that was.

Yet he heard her moving around upstairs, so... perhaps it wasn't true? Padding up the stairs cautiously, he poked his head through her doorway and froze. What was there, was not Rachel.]

--Ah.

[queenofscarlet]

[SCREAMS WHO IS IT THIS TIME oh wait Cain... Maybe he would believe her unlike crazy Abel. c_c]

Good morning, Cain.

[kinships]

[His expression falls slightly, and he remains a safe distance away in the doorway.]

It's true, then.

[queenofscarlet]

What is true?

[Valvatorez was doing his daily runs. Trying to get his mind off the fact that Marceline felt the world would be better off without her. What about her promise to protect her friends? What about those fakes that were there, claiming to be the real thing. Surely there was something sinister going about, and Valvatorez was looking for the boss character to revert it! Time to get to the bottom of this!]

Excuse me, miss. Have you seen any unusual characters with a dark, foreboding aura around them lately?

[queenofscarlet]

A... dark, foreboding aura you say. [This guy must be crazy WHAT KIND OF QUESTION IS THAT???]

[sardinedrinker]

Exactly! There is something sinister behind the disappearance of those in this town, and I will get to the bottom of it!

[queenofscarlet]

You really believe that those the broadcast announced as vanished are truly gone?
