Shadows Burning

(Yep)

"So.... we need to figure this out, guys." Zoe said, after a long period of silence.

(it's just this specific computer that does it, i think. we should get back to actually roleplaying.)

Vinotri flopped down on her bed, her mind racing with questions and ideas.

Nariko flopped down on her bed, kicked off her shoes, and laced her fingers behind her head. "So.... What do we do?" She asked.

"The question isn't what do we do. We find out who is doing this, stop them, and cure Calixte. The question is how do we do it." Vinotri said.

"the problem is..." Enya began, "there's not much we can do. maybe we should just keep an eye out for anything suspicious.  But we have to do something more than just that. 

"But would finding the person who did it help Calixte?" Zoe mused. "How would we stop them? There also might be a cure for possession, like some sort of plant or stone or potion or something, that doesn't include having to find the person who did it."

(I have to go, guys.)

"So we can be like night police!" Nariko said, jumping off her bed a creeping around, immitating a bad police man.

Enya laughed. "Exactly!"

Nariko pointed a finger gun at Enya. "Put your hands where I can see 'em!"

Vinotri giggled. "Only maybe not so obviously up to something"

Enya reached for her pillow and threw it at Nariko.

"We could hire a proffesional! And maybe a ninja to! I've always wanted to learn how to use some of those throwing stars. Do you think they'll knock my teeth out if I try and pick-pocket one of them?" Nariko joked.

"I don't know, but it probably wouldn't be a very good idea," Vinotri replied. "I don't think they would accept an offer to hire them if that was their first impression of you."

"Okay, okay, but you can't say no to the Samuri." Nariko said, grinning. "Only joking." She added quickly.

"So what should we really do?" Vinotri asked

Enya stretched herself out on her matress and parted the curtains so she could peek out. she noticed a figure standing in the shadow of a nearby cabin, clad in a gray cloak.  she couldn't see its face, but the strands of blond hair with green highlights flapping in the wind were all too familiar. 

       "uhh...guys...." enya said, "i think i found something suspicious..."

(i gotta go now.  Bye-bye! )

"Action time!" Nariko said, spinning around to see the figure. Before she could stop herself, she was out the door, sprinting to see if she could catch the strange figure.

"Nariko, wait!" Vinotri called after her. "It's Calixte, and she's obviously being possessed at the moment. If we catch her, whoever's possessing her will know we're up to something."

Vinotri's words were lost in the wind. Nariko got close enough to start to slow down to meet the figure. Putting on a winning smile, she approached the figure. She said the first thing that came to mind: "Hello!"
