The Curse of Crestwood Hollow - A Hyperhuman Story [CLOSED]

@Hillan

Victor: As Vanessa's twin, Andy heard about their relationship quite often. She's even seen Victor around the house when she visited Vanessa's home after a run, and has had many conversations with her best friend's brother at parties when the alcohol loosened his quiet persona. She's heard his music drifting through the house at times and thinks his artsy side is charming. She doesn't know him as well as she knew Vanessa, but it hurts to see him around because he reminds Andy of her.

The Curse of Crestwood Hollow - A Hyperhuman Story [CLOSED]

Alright, here is a generalized description of Andy's thoughts of your characters. Enjoy and feel free to suggest any changes.

@Lord Wraith

RJ: Andy knows RJ for his reputation of fighting at school and disrupting class. While she knows he's a troublemaker, she's seen him stand up against the varsity jocks and that has given him a better reputation in her eyes. She's also seen him in the library with a book in his hand when she's gone to study. She hasn't approached him before because she didn't want to interrupt his reading. She's heard Vanessa mention him a few times on their runs and she knows he started her on cigs. Runners should never smoke, so Andy was a little put off by it.

@Junkmail

Dex: Andy first approached Dex in gym class of her sophomore year. She knew he was the new kid, thanks to the middle school track t-shirt he was wearing instead of the school gym uniform. When he wasn't interested in joining track, Andy decided to add him to her list of running partners. Which just consisted of Vanessa at the time. Andy was the one to introduce Dex and Vanessa. As her two closest friends, Andy was happy to see the two get together. Being a third wheel didn't bother her much at first, but by the time the lovebirds broke up she was glad that they'd have their individuality back. Even if it was awkward for the three of them to hang out after. She also took up the role of consoling her friends after their breakup. She particularly grew closer to Dex during this time. Especially because it was during her parents divorce. Recently she's been feeling things for him she hasn't felt before. He isn't the freshman she first met, anymore.

@Roman

Jenny: The punk kids have never really bothered Andy. While she may look like a pretentious prep who excels in sports and academics, Andy doesn't act like a snob like some of the other girls. She envies Jenny for her wild nature and freedom to do as she pleases no matter the consequence. Andy has only felt such carelessness when she's drunk on a Friday night with no track meet the next morning. While she will never dress like Jenny, she admires the way Jenny acts.

@Tackytaff

Erica: Andy knows Erica for her quiet sass and pranks. She's definitely suppressed a laugh during class, because of Erica's witty comments, so the teacher wouldn't think of her as rude. When Andy is at a party to relax and actually drink, she often finds herself near Erica and has conversations with her. At school she is often too busy to stop and talk with her, but she does smile and wave in Erica's direction when she sees her. Andy also knows that Erica doesn't put a lot of effort into school, but she would be willing to help tutor her if she wanted to get her GPA up before graduation.

@Natty

Joanie: Andy has seen Joanie around school, but she's only ever had one class with her. In sophomore year, Andy would normally talk to the quiet kids to get them out of their shell. Mostly because they were the only interesting people. After her parents split, Andy had too much on her mind to speak to the quiet kids anymore. Her circle became small, so she never really approached Joanie to get to know her. Vanessa also never mentioned Joanie to Andy, so she had no reason to think of her. Not that Andy wouldn't like Joanie once they do meet.

@DocTachyon

Eddy: A Walsh reunion was never boring if Eddy was there. Her mother was Eddy's father's sister, so the two cousins saw each other often when they were little. Her mother never had a fallout with Eddy's father because she wanted nothing to do with the family liquor store. Andy liked Eddy because of his goofy nature and magic tricks, too. They saw each other quite often until her mother began to have fantasies of leaving town. After her parents split, she and her father barely had reason to go to the reunions. Especially with the heartbreak of their mother's departure still weighing on their soul. It was hard to see her side of the family because they triggered memories of her mom. So, while she sees Eddy at school and at parties, she hasn't spent time outside of that with him since her mother left. She still thinks of him as the goofy little boy, but she's heard of his recent scams too so she is unsure who he is now.

@fledermaus

Autumn: Andy has always known Autumn as the other smart girl in school. Though Andy believes that the difference between the two of them is that Autumn takes her straight A's and high GPA as a competition, while Andy just wants to get into a good college. This seemingly competitive spirit and sometimes rude outbursts against others has made Andy avoid Autumn unless they had group projects to complete together in class. While Vanessa mentioned Autumn a few times without revealing the true nature of their friendship, Andy could tell that Vanessa was trying to change herself so that Autumn would like her. Andy couldn't stand the way Autumn affected Vanessa.

Recollections: The Coven [COMPLETED]

Lyss was in pain. Her whole back and sides ached, and the cuts on her body and hands stung like she'd pressed them into salt. As much as she wanted to lay back and catch her breath as she waited for the Outsider to show herself, Lyss couldn't. Her head turned to see the Outsider in all of her rage. Instead of going after Maya, the Outsider had chosen herself to die first.

Lyss's heart dropped into her stomach. No... I will not die this way. She pressed her bloody palm against the sigil. Her other hand held the necklace up in the Outsider's direction. She would have burnt to a crisp before the seal was finished, but Madison jumped in just in time. Her relief was rewarded by a sense of justice as she watched the Outsider slowly disappear into the necklace.

Bruised, cut up and bloody, and with a headache, Lyss slowly rose to her feet when she heard the DENs approaching Fantasy Land. So much for a new hideout. She put her necklace back around her neck and was suddenly overcome with the exhaustion of the ritual.

> "̷͇̀A̸̗͂h̸͔̄h̴͍̓ḥ̸͂.̵̹̿.̶̻́.̶̯̀ ̴̬̐y̴̳̾ǫ̵̆ù̴̟ ̷̝͌m̴̟͐ȁ̴̫y̷͍͠ ̷̣͐ḩ̵̓a̵̭͐v̴͓̉e̷̩̽ ̸͔̽s̴̩͘t̷̹̏ơ̷͍p̵̬̄p̶͚̕ë̶̙́d̴̟̕ ̶̦̂m̵͕̃è̷̼,̵̫̄ ̶̡͊b̴̡̌u̵͇͒t̵̙̄ ̸̰͊t̴͕̒h̴͇́e̸̤̍r̶̫̀ẹ̷͒ ̶͇̄į̴̛s̶̮̐ ̷̦̈s̷̜̆ò̵͇m̷͒ething looming over the horizon. I don't know what it is but I can sense it my friend. And I know you won't be able to stop it. No one can..."

The Outsider's voice was muffled down to a whisper as Lyss resisted the temptation to release her. She watched the agents hop out of their vans too late, her eyes on Maximillian. The consequences of sealing a powerful apparition into an object on her own caught up to her within the few moments that the DENs showed and Maya revealed herself among the rubble. She was relieved to see that none of the Coven girls had died, and that relief allowed the exhaustion to set in.

Once she'd finished shielding herself from any rubble sent flying by Maya, Lyss turned towards Meifeng. "We just saved this universe from destruction," she murmured. She turned her head towards Max and her eyes gave him a knowing glance before her knees gave out underneath of herself. "Max, could you help me?"" she asked quietly as she sat on the nearest slab of concrete before she lost her balance. At least she hadn't fainted.

Lyss pressed her lips together and shifted her feet to get a better stance. The comment jostled her, but she wasn't going to let the Outsider know. So what if she didn't dabble in necromancy? It's not like it's a practical abstraction anymore. One video of a zombie crawling out of the ground and she would be burnt at the stake by sundown. She didn't need the undead to keep this apparition at bay. She just needed her trap, focus, help to weaken her, and the right sigil.

The long blade of flesh and bone was flung her way. For a moment, Lyss considered cutting the barrier and running. If she made it far away, she could gather the rest of the Burns clan to stop the Outsider once again. She stared the scythe down instead, and mentally told the blue bitch to bring it on. Yet, instead of the scythe colliding with the edge of her barrier, Vashti the Leviathan jumped in the way. Lyss gasped as the scythe slashed through her chest. She almost lost her focus at the sight. Almost. The Leviathan was okay. Just a bad cut that Izzy could heal, if Izzy kept herself safe.

Lyss looked over at Herik, whose Lion abstraction saved Vashti's life. She gave him a grateful nod, before her head turned to survey the other girls. Emily was on the ground and barely conscious. Her side was bloody. So was Madison's. One of the blood demons must have clawed its way through the Jaw's protection. Claudette, Izzy, Quinn, the new chick, and Taylor were gone. Had the cut and run? Was it just Lyss and Herik left to fight?

The odds weren't looking good.

"How long can you hold that?"

Lyss turned her head around to see Maya standing next to her. The relief of seeing another friend ready to help felt amazing, but Lyss also felt a deep worry for her. Maya was number one on Blake Schmidt's shit list. She would be the only person besides herself that the Outsider really wanted dead.

She didn't get a chance to tell her to run. Lyss saw Madison swoop in for one more hit before the Outsider's ominous voice announced Maya's doom. Lyss paled as the Outsider raised her hand and watched the windstorm come her way. She shut her eyes tightly and curled her right hand into a tight ball. She was going to hold onto this trap no matter what. She could-

She was thrown back by the wind. Lyss felt her body flying through the air. The trap was still intact, dragging the apparition along with her until Lyss felt her body crash through the restaurant's large window. The trap was gone within the next second.

---

Lyss groaned. Everything hurt. It felt ten times worse than a hangover, or being thrown off of a wayward motorcycle. She remembered her first tussle in the Black Market, but even that couldn't compare.

Maya... Where's Maya? Lyss's head was blurry as she used her elbows and hands to push herself up. Her hand pressed against something sharp and Lyss hissed. Broken glass. It was all around her. She could feel where bits had sliced through her jeans and the back of her head on her way through the window. Fuck.

Her eyes looked up at the building. It looked like it exploded. Herik and the others weren't in her sight. She wasn't even sure how much time had passed. A few minutes? A few seconds? "Maya!?" She shouted. What if I'm too late?

No... The Outsider would have come for herself next. Maya must still be alive somewhere in the rubble. The Outsider was still distracted with that order to worry about Lyss... for now.

Lyss slowly rose to her feet, wincing as she did so. I'm not even getting paid for this. Her head turned to look around her. She needed an object. Something that could easily be overlooked and left to rot for centuries. Something she could easily transport to the middle of the ocean and drop into the abyss.

Her necklace? It could work. It was made of strong metal. Not easily broken. Next all she needed to do was make the sigil. She'd need the Outsider to be near it, if she was going to trap the spirit and seal her all at once. Hold on tight, Maya. I'll be there soon. Please stay safe She thought as she began to crawl over what was left of the restaurant's walls and into the rubble. She just needed a flat surface to draw the sigil, and there it was.

Almost in the center of the rubble laid what remained of a white door. It was stained from years of sitting there, but it was the perfect place to do her job. Lyss knelt down in front of it and, without a thought to her own safety about the cleanliness of the door, began to smear her bloody cut against it.

First she drew a large circle, and then began to fill in the inside of it with a sigil she'd only used once before in her lifetime. She'd trapped another spirit that was at least a third below the Outsider's power with this sigil. She'd just need to do it at the right time.

Lyss's bloody hands fumbled with the clasp to her necklace before she'd successfully removed it. The necklace was set into the middle of the sigil. Now it was time to wait. The time to hope to Satan that Maya was still okay.

The Curse of Crestwood Hollow - A Hyperhuman Story [CLOSED]

Andy

FULL NAME:

Andrea "Andy" Walsh
^{October 28th, 1968 (17)}

APPEARANCE

Slim and toned from three and a half years of running track, Andy has the body of a runner. She stands at 5'6" tall with an average sized derriere and bra size. She doesn't intentionally flaunt her shape, but doesn't wear loose fitting clothing to hide it either.

Andy's type of style isn't as high tier as 80's fashion magazines, but it has its own casual look to it. Mom jeans, denim or cotton paper bag shorts that fall an inch above her knee, or sometimes even denim skirts. She pairs these classic 80's pants with comfy sweaters, a tight cardigan and tank top, t-shirts, or long sleeves. Half of her shirts are off the shoulder on one side for a casually chic look. Her clothes are either bright and patterned or they have neutral tones to them. She often wears her favorite white sweater tied around her waist in case she gets cold.

Andy doesn't style her hair. Instead, she embraces it's natural waves and volume. She has gotten used to wearing her hair up in a ponytail for track, so she usually either pins half of her hair up behind her head or has it in her signature pony with a big scrunchie. She does have bangs, but she likes to keep the rest of her hair out of her face.

Andy doesn't wear makeup. She prefers her natural look to that of the preppy girls who wear eyeshadow and heavy amounts of blush. If she does put on anything. Its usually colored eyeliner or mascara for a pop, and maybe some lip gloss instead of her usual chapstick.

Besides her usual favorite outfits, Andy enjoys pairing them with a perfect shoe. She owns the classic Reebok's, both high top and low ankle showers, a pair of white converse, and a pair of white Nike high tops with lavender accents.

PERSONALITY

Andy has been given the classic innocent stereotype by many at Mathers Memorial, but behind her wide eyes lies an independent and determined young woman. From years of track, Andy has learned to be self-confident and strong even if she is unsure of the outcome. When her parents divorced, she used these moral lessons from running track to keep her going.

While this method helped to put the pain of the divorce behind her, sometimes it felt like Andy was just running away from her problems. Avoiding her emotions this way for so long has rooted this defense mechanism into her life. It has recently become evident that she is also running from the pain of Vanessa's death. Andy does worry that she will eventually reach a breaking point, but until then she will keep running.

At 17, Andy has only learned a few hard life lessons. She is too young to understand the extreme risks of the world yet, but she is aware that it is better to be careful than to be risky. The only carelessness she shows is in the way she speaks to people. While she is kind and warm towards everyone she meets, she has the temperament of a volcano.

Normally dormant and cool, she only starts to heat up when people are rude, disloyal, and cold-hearted. She learned from her parents that she should always keep her head high, and to protect those who have not learned to stand up for themselves yet. So, she often speaks her mind when there is an argument to be made. While her pride does get in the way at times, she also tries to find ways to humble herself so that she does not come off as pretentious and naive. Although, most of the time it does.

HYPERHUMAN ABILITIES:

Deflection: Andy has the ability to deflect projectiles or blunt force by using her arms or legs. While she isn't a physics genius, Andy understands that she can block any potential harm to herself with a flick of her wrist. She likes to think of it as a science experiment she once did in class. Two magnets sitting on a table. Opposite charges = a connection. The same charges = Repulsion. Its just that Andy somehow can change her own "polarity." She is new to the ability, but she is also able to redirect the energy in any direction she chooses. Mostly by aiming her swings or kicks.

Unfortunately, Andy cannot deflect any attack she is unaware of. Such as a low flying object from behind or the side. She also must be quick enough to block the blow, or the object or force will make its mark. Her control of the direction of the deflected energy is also directly affected by her emotional state. If she is upset or unfocused, the force could go in any direction.

Andy is at average strength normally and it reflects the strength of her deflections as well. While it would be easy to deflect a wayward football or TV remote, Andy certainly isn't able to deflect a car or falling piano yet. Not like she'd put herself at risk to test the ability anyways. For now she'll just stick to small objects.

RELATIONSHIP TO VANESSA:

Andy knew Vanessa through gym class, history class, and from the girl's after school track and field. The two bonded during these classes and often met each other halfway between their neighborhoods to jog throughout the town together. After hearing of Vanessa's death, Andy was devastated. She's been missing track practice since.

BACKSTORY:

Andy is an average girl next door. She grew up in the neighborhood a few blocks from Mather Park. Her parents were happy, and so Andy was happy. While Andy and her father remained happy, her mother's happiness was replaced with a need to leave the town she grew up in. Her mother left when Andy was sixteen, and her parents were divorced the same year. Since then, Andy has found her happiness in school with her friends and her lessons. She's a good student and a great athlete. Still, as her mother once felt, she yearns for some adventure of her own.

Lyss nodded her head slowly. It seemed that everyone was on the same page. As much as Babylon stated the grim facts, it was nice to hear that the others were just as annoyed with the spirit as herself. She turned her head when Quinn arrived, and her eyebrow rose when she looked at the new girl. This girl better be able to hold her own, or she's dead meat. Or better yet, she should just send the girl home before they head to the battlefield.

Except... the battle came to them. Lyss felt the overwhelming sensation of a powerful apparition before she could even see the blue demon. She stood as soon as the Outsider descended onto the table. Her foot kicked over her travel mug and coffee began to spill out of the opening and onto the concrete. There was no time to cry over spilt coffee. The girls were unprepared, caught off guard, and they didn't even have Kayla there to help. Kayla, please show up this time. She thought desperately.

The Outsider mentioned her family name, and the hair on the back of her neck rose as she clenched her hands into fists. She began to breathe in through her nose, and out through her mouth. She had to muster up any energy she had to even stand a chance. At least last night she'd recharged, after a brief one night stand that was satisfying and yet regrettable. She could feel her energy pooling into her chest, and flowing down her arm and into the ring she wore on her finger. This was it. She couldn't seal the apparition on her own, but if she held it still enough for the other girls to weaken her, she could try.

Just as her hand raised to save Maya, Lyss was shocked to see Herik manifest an abstraction right before her eyes and save her. Lyss stepped away from the spilt coffee. She backed up a few paces from the apparition and then moved to the right. The others were starting their initial attacks. She had to take a moment just to watch the ferocious leviathan, Vashti in full cursed form, take up a fight against the Outsider. But, she couldn't gawk for long. If she could position herself the right way, and trap the spirit in the right spot, it would be the perfect place for the other girls to attack without consequences. At least, not any direct consequences.

She found her spot just in time to see the bitch grab onto Vashti's tail. Her nerves suddenly took hold of her as she worried for the leviathan woman's fate, but Maya showed her strength just in time to make the Outsider release the tail. Vashti went flying, but at least she could recover from a fall.

Maybe not from the blood-formed demon children, though. Lyss, even though she feared for the other girls safety, had to focus on her own as the disgusting spirits came her way. She held up her arms before her, forearms facing towards the children as she activated her abstraction for the first time in months. Taylor's words were distant to her, but she knew that this next action would show Taylor her true strength. All of this time without using her abstraction, all of this energy unspent... it was time to release it. She brought her elbows down, and a barrier of black lux energy burst from the ring and expanded towards the blood babies until their blood splattered against the Outsider.

Lyss didn't miss a beat. She stood tall and planted her feet apart into a strong defensive stance. Her righthand stretched towards the Oustider, her knuckles and ring aimed towards the spirit, and she stared intently at her as her ring began to glow with black energy. Another barrier of energy began to stretch towards the Outsider until it trapped her in a transparent grey bubble of energy. "I can only hold her for so long, so now is your chance to weaken her!" She shouted. "I can't protect you inside of the barrier, so be careful!"

Recollections: The Coven [COMPLETED]

Lyss struggled to get out of bed in the morning. A noisy neighbor woke her up way too early. Right at 8:00 am on the dot. She groaned as she reached towards the glass of water on her nightstand. The glass rose to her lips as she sat up and finished the contents. It wasn't enough water.

With a sigh, she drug her legs over the side of the bed and pushed herself onto wobbly feet. Her feet shuffled over towards her kitchen as her hand rubber her bleary eyes. When she reached the sink, she gripped the faucet and turned to fill the glass to the brim. A bit spilled out as she once again swallowed the entire glass in a few long sips. Much better.

Her head turned towards the clock. She had a few hours before she would meet with the Coven, then with the vamps, and then... Well, she would be facing one of the most powerful apparitions besides Death. Maybe Babylon was a level below. The Jaws might be on the same level as the Outsider. At least, she was hoping it was. How much power would she be given today? Would it be enough?

She needed a shower. Cold water to run over her head and sweaty body. To clear the mind so she could focus. She needed to be strong today. Strong enough to hold back the fear that gripped her stomach. She drank another glass of water before she headed to the bathroom.

---

When Lyss arrived at the rusty amusement park, she pulled a travel mug from her backpack. Even though it wasn't that bright out today, Lyss wore her darkest pair of sunglasses. She even wore a dark shade of purple on her lips to match her mood. When Babylon began to explain to the girls that weren't at the club last night, Lyss took another swig of coffee so the others wouldn't see the shame on her face. It was already too late. Eight more girls were dead, and the Outsider was at full strength.

Her eyebrows furrowed when Babylon blamed it all on her. She pressed her lips together and her right hand curled into a fist. She could feel her ring around her finger. Her hand began to rise, and she had every intent to teach the apparition a lesson with her lux. She was halted mid movement by Vashti, who defended her position. Even Maya did too.

Lyss's hand fell into her lap, loose and relaxed. She took another sip of coffee. As much as she appreciated the girls for defending her honor, Lyss still felt like she had enough blame as Emily in this situation. The regret she felt would go away soon. Hopefully. She was going to take care of the Outsider with the help of her friends. Maybe, if they joined forces and acted as a real team, they would leave the battle with only a few bruises or broken bones.

She took one more sip of her coffee before she took a deep breath and sat the mug on the ground next to her bike.

"The Outsider is an extremely powerful and ancient apparition," she began as she looked around at those who were unaware of the spirit's history. "It feeds off of destruction, and has consumed entire cities within a day before my people took action. It shows itself in the form of a woman with blue skin, with an orange fire lying beneath.."

"It took many adepts to battle the Outsider. Many died in that battle, but some were strong enough to withstand her power. They sealed her within a music box and... until recently, the box had been hiding from the mortal world for decades."

She frowned.

"Today, we will risk our own lives to do what those adepts accomplished years ago. It will take all of our abilities combined to stand any chance. We must work together, like a Coven should." She looked around at the group to make sure that they understood before continuing.

"When we face the Outsider, we must weaken her before I can seal her into the music box once again. I can hold her still, with Madison's Jaws' help. That means she will be a relatively easy target, but you can't get too close to her."

She sighed once more and leaned back on her bike.

"We also need to worry about Blake, and any potential power he's been given by the Outsider. Hopefully the bloodsuckers can keep him at bay, but they're about as useless as a knife would be against a gun."

She nodded her head. [color=D3D3]"That's basically the run down that I have for today. If you fear for your life, and you won't be able to commit to fighting the Outsider, you may go home and pray to Satan that we succeed."[/color]

Her voice then carried a gravity to it in her next words.

"Yet, we need as much strength and power as we can get if we want this to work."

The two bonded during these classes and often met each other halfway between their neighborhoods to jog throughout the town together. After hearing of Vanessa's death, Andy was devastated. She's been missing track practice since.

BACKSTORY:

Andy is an average girl next door. She grew up in the neighborhood a few blocks from Mather Park. Her parents were happy, and so Andy was happy. While Andy and her father remained happy, her mother's happiness was replaced with a need to leave the town she grew up in. Her mother left when Andy was sixteen, and her parents were divorced the following year. Since then, Andy has found her happiness in school with her friends and her lessons. She's a good student and a great athlete. Still, as her mother once felt, she yearns for some adventure of her own.

Recollections: The Coven [COMPLETED]

Lyss continued to give Frederick the death glare. His words only fueled the fire behind her eyes. She gripped the riding crop tighter, and her hands began to shake with the anger she felt. He just gave Blake the music box? He just had to get high? There was no doubt that Blake would have paid good money for something like that. But how the hell did a naked fucking vampire just happen upon the music box of all things? Why couldn't he have just found a fucking pearl necklace and sold that?

Madison's joke would have been funny if it was about any other sealed object than the Outsider's own personal cage. At this point, Lyss agreed with the Jaws. Rip him apart. Tear Blake fucking Schmidt a new one. BURN THE IDIOT WHO OPENED IT.

By the time Madison turned to her, after the Jaws had gone back to hiding, Lyss didn't know what to do about this fucking vamp. What she did know was that Blake Schmidt was on the top of her shit list. He was gonna pay for this.

"So whats the plan now?" She heard Maya ask from the other side of the room.

Lyss held up the riding crop, and was extremely intent on bringing it back down right onto the vamp's cheek, but she stopped before she could swing it. She breathed through her nose and shook her head before lowering the weapon.

"Our toothy friend here is going to go home. He's going to get as high as he fucking wants, and then tomorrow he is going to help us stop Blake Schmidt." She spat. She held out her hand to him in a forcefully demanding way. "Give me your phone."

"Tomorrow, I'm going to text you to meet me somewhere. If you don't answer, I'm going to show up to your shithole and drag you out by your ears."

She shook her hand just to make him hand it over faster.

"When we meet, your buddies are going to take me and a few of my friends to Blake. Offer us up as sacrifices for his new pet."

She looked at Madison and Maya. "But that isn't how its going to work."

"The bloodsuckers are going to turn on Blake when he least expects it and keep him from getting to the Outsider. Once he's neutralized, I'm going to try to seal her back in her box."

She looked back to Frederick, her eyes as icy as ever. "She isn't at full strength. I may be able to do it, if I rest up and prepare. But you and your buddies are going to keep Blake as far away from it or me while I do it. If he steps out of line, you're going to make him regret it. Got it?"

The group may not have liked the idea, Kayla certainly wouldn't, but at the moment Lyss just wanted to take care of the Outsider before she could get her hands on any more souls. She glanced at Madison. "What does the Jaws have to say about that?"
