Mike watched Steph leave; her words had stung. Stuart seemed unphased by Steph said to him and once she was gone, he turned to Mike.
"You did well," he said. "Remember they are masters of manipulation and when seduction doesn't work, they are capable of emotional manipulation. They are cunning."
Mike nodded slowly, he felt manipulated alright, but he was unsure by who. This whole situation left him confused, but there were many cases of succubi victims. There had to be truth to what Stuart said.
"I have a meeting with mr. Johnson soon," Stuart continued. "We'll speak soon again." After a nod he left the library.
Mike stayed behind, although he felt at loss about what to do next.

After what he considered a good practice session, Ethan returned to the part of the mansion with bedrooms. It was probably best to rest a bit, as he was going to spend the night hunting vampires. He was excitited about that, but when he passed Steph's room, he stopped and frowned at what he saw. Demon Slut? Who the hell had tagged her room?
He didn't know where Ben was, but there was an easy solution for that. He grabbed his phone and texted *Dude, have you seen Steph's door? Come quick* to Benjamin.

Almost instantly a door further down the corridor opened and Benjamin emerged, his phone in his hand. He locked eyes with Ethan and approached him. When he joined him, he looked at the door and his jaw dropped.

"Do you think she saw it?" Ethan asked.

"She was going to Mike."

"Maybe she's still there." Ethan quickly went to Mike's phone number and called him. "Mike, is Steph still with you?... She left? Where did she go?" Ethan's expression changed into a serious frown and he glanced at Benjamin a few times. "Yeah, I'll talk to him." After disconnecting, Ethan turned to Benjamin. "Okay, so, Steph was with him, but she left after she asked him if he thought of her as a monster, and he told her he didn't, but that she was a demon and that he was worried about you. He said she had taken that hard and left. He doesn't know where she went."

Benjamin covered his face with his hands. "Damn it, Mike," he muttered and he pulled his hands down. "I've got to find her."

"You think she saw it?"

"Probably."

"Where do you think she went?"

"Outside, I guess. That's where I would go. But she discovered she can fly, she could have gone anywhere."

Ethan cursed as he looked at the door again. "Look, maybe she needs some time alone, okay? If she'd need you she'd have gone to you. Maybe give her some time and text her to let her know you're here for her. And maybe we should let Harriet know, she can fly and Steph is part of her team. And Harriet isn't human." He gestured to the slurs. "I'd be fed up with humans after this bullshit."

Benjamin nodded and took his phone. *Can you come to my room? I need to talk with you about Steph* he texted to Harriet.

After that Benjamin and Ethan left, each going to their room. Benjamin to go back to reading the files, although his mind was elsewhere, and Ethan to rest and hopefully get some sleep before the evening.

Morrison drove back, keeping to himelf. It was silent in the car, but he wasn't bothered by that. Most of his nightly missions were like this, speaking only when it was needed. His partner and spend most of their time together in silence.

They had left the city behind and drove over the road back to the mansion. He glanced to Carl a few times, but the man seemed to do well enough for his condition. He was glad this mission was over, he wanted to go to bed to prepare for the night.

Benjamin rounded the corner and saw Dia in the hands of the new nurse. "We have a group session," he lied as he got closer and tried to move around Josh so he could reach Dia. "I came to pick her up and we'll be on our way."
He didn't like to see her behind the nurse, especially with the look in his eyes, but what he liked even less was that he didn't see her as transparent anymore. Everyone could see her. How was that possible?

Marc listened to Sara talking about her past, it sounded like she had grown up an abusive home. Being restricted like that was never a good sign. Maybe it was for the best she was with her aunt now.
"Maybe, you would like to go to the movies once?" Marc suggested carefully. He didn't know if this was going too fast or not, but then again, they could go to the movies just as friends.

Michael nodded in response to Gavin's words as he watched Mindy and Niccia walk away. It was fantastic to meet all the legendary Pokémom. Except for Darkrai. He couldn't hold back a shudder and his grip on Lytse tightened slighly, enough for the Cyndaquil to look up and see what was wrong.
"It's amazing," Michael said, looking at Penalopy and Dausiin, who bantered with Bear. "It truly is."

Andy met Mitch's stare, it wasn't hard to see the Delibird disagreed with what was going on here. "Don't worry, I'm not minding him," Andy said as he looked at Frosiien again. "But being protective is not a bad thing. He keeps you safe, and I can't thank him enough for that. Oh, you will introduce me to your... are they your brothers or sisters?"

James joined them. "That is one thing I don't have to worry about," he said. "Miss Penalopy is impulsive and quirky; she doesn't always think before she acts and disappears at random, she rarely thinks about her safety. But she never showed interest in forming a relationship with anyone, be it human or Pokémon." He looked at Mitch. "It's not always easy being a guardian, right?"

Mindy walked around the building again and pointed to the shopping street. "It's down there somewhere. There were some cute dresses in the window." She smiled as she looked at Niccia. "Do you go shopping for clothes sometimes? Gavin seemed really awkward about it, as if it was his first time."

Mike opened his mouth and closed it again. "No," he eventually said. "You're not a monster, but you are a demon. And I worry about Ben, because Succubi are dangerous. And I haven't seen... evidence of a good one. I've been researching your kind and read files of victims and..." he had an almost apologetic look. "I don't want that to happen to Ben."

mr. Johnson watched the vessel with the entities leave. A strange meeting, and he certainly had to be careful with this one. They had said Gaia was on her way back and when he checked the GPS that seemed to be true. Judging by her speed and the distance left to cross, she would be back soon.

With the man gone he turned to his other work.

Morrison drove them back as he thought about what had happened. He remained silent during the drive, keeping his eyes on the road and his mind occupied with fallen angels, timberfae, vampires. He tried to formulate how he would report all this and couldn't stop himself from sighing. He couldn't predict how the boss would react to Jase at this point, but since he kept other non-humans in service, he would probably keep Jase too.

Michael nodded and showed a smile. "Have fun," he said. There were plenty of people around, Pokémon, Legendary Pokémon in original and human form, his uncle. He didn't feel unsafe here. He picked up Lytse. He knew he would need to heal his Pokémon, but that could wait until later. Right now it was nice being outside with everyone.

Penalopy lowered herself so she was at eye-level with the Cyndaquil. "Do you have a mate?" she asked.
"A mate?" Lytse asked and he looked at the Meloetta nodding. "N-no, and I have no desire to find one either."
"That's a pity, you're such a cutie," she floated back until she was with Gavin. "Aren't you glad you don't have to go shopping again?" she asked.

Mindy had a happy look in her eyes. "I wanna get dressed up," she said with a laugh. "Let me return some of my Pokémon," she said, going to her Dunsparce to return her. "My Dragonite will stay here," she said to Michael. "She doesn't go in a Pokéball."
With that taken care off she turned back to Niccia and took her arm. "Let's go. I saw a cute shop on the way and I want to check it out."

"It sounds like your Pokémon is getting a cold," Andy said as he moved to put his arm around her shoulders. "Although he is an ice-type, I wonder how he managed to do that. The world of Pokémon is full of mysteries!"
Was he breaking any code if he'd touch her? Did he really care? He answered the first question with a maybe and the second with a definite no. If Michael could touch, hold, hug, and kiss Niccia without lightning coming from the sky, so could he with the legendary Pokémon of his choice.

Mike stared at Steph, struggling to find the right words to say. That wasn't easy.
"Maybe you can release Benjamin from your influence," Stuart Greyhill said as he approached Steph from behind. He looked at Mike. "Remember, these demons are masters of manipulation and deception."
Mike nodded slowly, that he knew. Although Steph had looked genuinely sad. He still wasn't sure what to say, but Stuart had taken the conversation over.
"Release him and we will know for sure he isn't in any danger," Stuart continued.

Mr. Johnson looked at this man, who sounded different now. And his eyes were different too. "If this beast is dangerous to you, I'd be more than happy to offer you the expertise of this agency to deal with it. And..." he leaned forward. "If you need a new body, I have young and strong agents you can have. Just say the word and I will provide a new body for you."
He would never offer his own, being in control of his own body and mind was important, but he didn't feel bad about offering one of his underlings instead.

"I believe you," Morrison stated curtly. "Hop in, we're going back."
He got behind the steeringwheel and put the key in the ignition. Before leaving, and giving Jase a chance to settle in the backseat, he took his phone and marked this area as a 'fallen angel sighting' in his personal map.

Nurse Tiffany was about to give Benjamin a piece of her mind about tackling them like that, but Benjamin smiled apologetically before she could begin. "I'm sorry," he said, "maybe the medicine is affecting my ability to assess, I thought I was going around you. I'll be in my room, I feel much better now, thanks."
Benjamin casually walked away, until he was around the corner. Then he started searching for Dia.

Marc looked at the book. "Mythological creatures are nice, they are the source for many good stories. I'm more of Sci-Fi fan myself." He ate from the pie. "I don't know how you feel about it. If you like it, there's a new scifi movie coming to the theatres soon."
He left it as an open invitation; he wasn't sure how she would react if he would end it with 'would you like to come', when they had just begun with their first date.

Strange Arrivals (A ZAVAZggg & Calle Roleplay)

Andy followed Alastor with a shopping cart so he could pick the ingredients he needed for the chicken dish he wanted to make. He pointed out what could be found where and answered any question Alastor may had about the various foodstuffs found. As they were going through the store he loaded some things into the cart he knew he needed too: a bottle of white wine, milk, bananas, fresh green beans, some canned white beans, and a box with vanilla ice-cream.

It was interesting to see Alastor explore very basic things, the Laizu seemed out of place with his clothing and stature; he drew in some curious looks, but they probably just thought of him as a cosplayer of some sort. These days people could dress weirder than Alastor.

Revival of the Dragon Riders

Trevor grabbed the reins of his horse and stayed alongside Noble when he could, falling to the back when necessary. He wouldn't let the future king guard the back, even if he was riding a dragon. Duncan and Gnol could lead the way to the dwarves.
Much to his dismay the old dragon let everyone pass and took a place in the rear. Having a dragon close to him didn't mean he had to talk with it, and chose not to.
"Fine with me," Trevor responded to Duncan's question. He didn't mind where they would spend the night, as long as it was a safe place.

Linda leaned into the gentle stroke, but when Ricky stopped she flew up again to sit with Meria so she could great her.
Mikhal nodded to Rai. "Lead the way please," he said before turning to Alan when he asked his question. "Well, first you need one who is curious rather than suspicious or shy towards humans and let them come to you. Then you have to, erm..." he paused as he thought about it. "I don't think I did anything special. I just talked to her and played some music and I was going someplace she wanted to see so she tagged along. How do friendships normally form? But most of her kind will hide away from humans, they are big, destructive and dangerous."

Rachel mounted Fiona when she heard Crreessa say something about floating. She looked to Seb and noticed he was indeed floating. "Everything okay with you?" she asked as he seemed to stare into the distance.

The yellow light faded as Sparky closer her eyes and he looked at Niccia when she thanked him. "I'm glad I could be of assistance," he assured her. "I've had to put Bear to sleep several times too; when he goes into rage there is very little that can calm him again. So this is not the first time I was requested to do something like this by Andy."

Mindy shook her head. "I should be thanking you! How many humans get a chance to witness something special like a gathering of Legendary Pokémon? I'm so looking forward to it! I... I may need to buy new clothes. Niccia! Do you want to go shopping with me?"
There was no way she would go to such a special event in simple day-to-day clothes. Not that she would go all gala with it, but she definitely wanted something more classy than what she wore now.

"I believe you," Bear said. "But Andy is still better!"
"Right," Benny said. "He's the best! A good researcher..."
"Handsome, for a human," Bear added. "He's obviously not a Primeape."
"No-one misses an easy throw to catch a Pokémon as Andy does!" Benny continued.
"Right! Bear said.
"Oh, come now, that only happened once," Kim came to his defence.
"He only caught five Pokémon in his life and four of the five agreed to go with him," Benny reminded her. "Merlin was the only one he caught in the wild during a battle and he missed! It was the funniest thing I ever saw!"

Michael listened to the Pokémon and smiled, contemplating he should tell his uncle how they talked about him or not. Then again, his uncle brought up his 'amazing catch' when he caught Merlin on many occasions himself.

"It is," Andy agreed, glad that Frosiien agreed to leave Michael and Niccia out of the serious talk about Darkrai for now. He heard Mindy talk about shopping and while he had no desire to dress up - people just had to accept him as he was - it would free up Gavin to have a have a talk.
