Amil fell forward, grabbing onto Nace in order to keep himself up. His eyes opened slightly, taking in the scenery before widening at the sight. "W-wha....What...." Before he could finish his statement he gripped at his chest, bruising from where the orca has hit him already becoming apparent. There was no question what happened here. Zadinya and Vale got into a fight. He silently cursed the demon as he wobbly stood up. "Oh....a-are...we done here..?" He muttered weakly as the amalgamates inched their way towards his body and latched to the man's chest, forming a black tanktop, only this time without the yellow eye on its chest. "I...need to lie down..." He nearly fell over once more, once again gripping onto his soulmate for support. He glanced up towards his partner, a worried look on his face. "A-are... are you okay..? Did I hurt you....?" Nace held onto his partner tightly, a snarky grin still on his face. "Yeah, don't worry bae, I took care of it." He said with his chest slightly puffed. He hesitated a moment, some unknown emotion flickering in his eyes before slowly he pulled off his dress jacket and draped it around his partner's shoulders. "I'm not hurt, but you're not looking too hot." He spoke softly, and surprisingly compassionately. "Think you can walk? Or do you want me to sweep you off your feet like in one of those cheesy ass movies?" He was still trying to keep the atmosphere light but it was obvious he was concerned. Vale, on the other hand, was anything but pleased. "Are you. FUCKING. Kidding me?!" He spat, his hands clasped around his head that felt close to exploding like the rest of the tanks. "THIS ISN'T A GOD DAMN WISNEY MOVIE! THIS STUFF ISN'T SUPPOSED TO WORK!" He looked angrily at the ceiling like he was calling out the Gods. "Oh, come on! You can't give a bastard like this the satisfaction! This is by far the stupidest shit that has happened!!!!" Vale's angry rant was cut short by his partner pulling him close, his heart slamming in his metal chest as she spoke to him in probably the most pissed off voice he'd heard yet from her. He quickly pulled himself free of her grasp, as gently as he could, and backed a good ten feet away, staring at her from afar with his hands hugging his shoulders. "Well...Um..." He looked around once more. Oh this was so bad. He can't even say he didn't intend for this to happen. But he felt bad because well....clearly she didn't like it. "Amil isn't always Amil." He tried to start. "S-Sometimes he's someone else. He's possessed by a demon. And that demon was the one who fought me at the con-- the fight that they started," He glanced over at the villainous couple with hatred in his eyes, "And I just--I can't be around him, I just can't! It was supposed to be him! He was the one who was supposed to get hurt, not you! He deserved this!" He stopped screaming when he realized how childish this must sound to her. "He-He's dangerous..." The water seemed to slosh even louder around his ankles. "So I was going to..." He fell silent, eye back on the floor. What else was there to say? No matter what he did, even if he felt it was for good reason, it always came back to this. He had no control. And that lack of control caused those he actually cared about to get hurt. "...I was supposed to protect you and I hurt you. If he hadn't started that first fight you'd still be walking. I can't forgive him. And I can't forgive myself. Not with you like this." |

He took note of the scenery, beginning to put the pieces revolving around his own injuries together. "I can walk.... but I wouldn't mind getting carried outta here... heheh,," He smiled warmly at Nace before nearly collapsing again, barely keeping himself up by holding onto Nace. Amil listened to Vale explode, his smile quickly fading as the man revealed his 'possession.' It wasn't Alraada he was worried about, however. He glanced over at Nace before turning back to Vale and frowning. "If you're trying to get some sort of shock value... have your facts straight..first... Alraada already knows about... Mr. Z... And I'm not... possessed. Its more complicated than that...." He coughed. "I offered to fix it...last night.. but Alti intervened... I feel as terrible about this as you do...." He spoke sincerely before breaking into a coughing fit, the oomph behind it making it sound as though he was going to hack up a lung. |

"...I was supposed to protect you and I hurt you. If he hadn't started that first fight you'd still be walking. I can't forgive him. And I can't forgive myself. Not with you like this." Alraada glanced over at Amil, knowing his allegiance with demons. "Out of all the things you say, I am most inclined to believe the first part of your story." she spoke bluntly. She ignored the pang of guilt in her heart that would always tell her to forgive Vale after he does something like this.. He will never learned. "I don't care who started it when it comes to fights. I know he's dangerous, but as I have seen, you are too." she stated plainly, knowing her words were true. She supressed the desperately sad look that tried to make its way onto her face, and replaced it with a firm one. "No one is supposed to get hurt. No one is supposed to be harmed. I know very few people who deserve to pay for anything they've done with physical pain. So no one is 'supposed' to get hurt. You don't have to forgive him at all. I understand if it's self defense, but it looks like that isn't entirely so. If I'm wrong, please tell me." her tone was different than it normally was. it was quiet, and almost calming to the unrained ear, but a small hint of rage laid over her tone, enough to let Vale know that he is not forgiven. |

Maicy open the bathroom door, ignored Alti's bitch ass, paid for the cakes, and shoved the last bit of the cake she was having in her mouth for her to finish it off (cannot let that go off to waste..). She walked about to Alti and, while it was a damn struggle to just get through with the long hair, Maicy grabbed onto to his ear. I'm so fucking glad I'm wearing gloves for this. And with that, she just dragged him out of the cafe. "Alright, we're going to the movies and wear going to watch that one movie about that one magical girl that's been doing drugs and what not." Maicy spoken "Because quite franquily I'm sick of your shit and I thought just sitting in a damn movie theatre will get you to shut up." And with that, after dragging Alti along, Maicy arrived at the Hollowbloom Theatre. There is a bit of a long line so the two have to wait. Alti sneered as he watched the jobless spy rush out of the bathroom, pay for their food, and power-walk back over to him, the man letting out a surprised yelp as his top half was suddenly forced to bend over to about Maicy's height as she dragged him out of the cafe, disgruntled parent-style. He giggled a sickeningly girlish giggle as he waved the remaining customers goodbye, the laughter cutting itself off at the sensation that his 'date' may have been tugging a bit too hard on the follicles surrounding his ear. "Hey, watch it~!" he exclaimed giddily, the pain from his ear masking the irritated tone in his voice with sheer happiness. "HAHAHA, you know what this looks like right now? What you look like? A fucking pimp, that's what! A female pimp dragging her bitch around the city with NO shame! We should hit up the costume shop and get you the suit! Your hair alone isn't purple enough to make the cut!" He cackled the rest of the way there yelling questionable phrases such as those, prompting people to look their way with disgust. Once they made it over to their destination, a movie theater, Alti gave a wicked smirk at Maicy's newfound 'dominance' over him, slowly pointing over at another movie poster, one much gorier and more horrifying than the one she decided they'd be seeing, just to see what she'd do as a response. " But I wanna go see that movie......." he pouted. |

He spoke sincerely before breaking into a coughing fit, the oomph behind it making it sound as though he was going to hack up a lung. "Wait...hold up." Nace stopped holding Amil up, forcing his soulmate to keep himself up with whatever strength he had. He looked down with a mixture of confused, embarrassment, and disappointment. "You're...fucking possessed?" He stepped completely out of range of Amil, disgust moving into his features. "PERFECT! Just fucking wonderful! As if not having a soul wasn't fantastic enough, fuckin' angry ass spirits are crowding inside your husk of a body!" He turned over to switch his anger to Vale. "You always fuckin' ruin everything, you know that?! Why don't you just kill him already!" He pointed at Amil as though he weren't even apart of the conversation. "Why don't you just fucking rip every last good thing away from me! Every time some shred of happiness comes back into my life and things start turning around your metal ass has to come around and fuck with it!""I didn't make him make a deal!" Vale snapped back, with far less conviction than he intended. "No, but you did make a deal with ME!" Nace grabbed at his bow tie and tossed it to the wet floor, crushing it under his heel. "Till death do us part, you cunt!"Vale looked between the two people in his life he'd hurt the most, unable to form words. He closed his eyes sadly and directed his head towards anything but the two of them. His silence spoke volumes on its own. |

"Till death do us part, you cunt!"Amil nearly collapsed as his partner stepped away from him, the man taking a knee and watching in sadness as Vale and Nace began to get in a screaming match. Amil couldn't even be mad at this point. He knew how Nace felt; about the demons, about Vale, everything. All he could do is attempt to stand again. He limped over to the wall and used it to prop himself up, silence now filling the room again. "I told you.... I'm not possessed... Its more complicated than that.... No spirits or demons are in my body..." He muttered weakly. "Not that it matters, I guess... It wouldn't make a difference. Its clear who you already chose.... From the first fight." Amil slid down the wall and plopped down on the ground, attempting to catch his breath but the agony in his chest making it difficult to do so much as breathe. "Its not possession, yet..." His voice was almost inaudible. "But thanks for freaking him out, Vale... Reeeeeeally appreciate it..." He managed to spit out a sarcastic remark before going into another vicious coughing fit. |

Just like that, the date came to a close, with Elenara calling them back to the hotel after being informed of numerous police calls.
The couples were ordered to stay in their assigned bedrooms until a certain time in order to talk things out.
With every couple going into their room, the day wound to a close.
Now is the time to talk things out.
Good luck.

Nace carried Amil to an ambulance that had been called, riding back to the hotel with him after ordering them to skip the hospital and take them right there. He didn't know still what entirely was going on with the man's body after watching him just eat a piece of his precious amalgamates like candy and he figured modern medicine couldn't cure demon possessions any better than his own rituals could. They rode in silence. When they arrived, Nace took a wheelchair they offered him and set Amil in it roughly.
"You can wheel yourself upstairs," He muttered under his breath, still not fully satisfied with the lack of explanations he'd been offered before authorities arrived. He moved back into the hotel and took the elevator up to their room to purposefully make Amil have to wait even longer and give him more time to gather his thoughts before the confrontation that was sure to occur.
Vale had vanished when the police came, flashing some sort of metallic slip he had on him that had them nodding and letting him go in an instant, only getting his information due to the damages in the aquarium and immediately crossing him off the list for suspects in the two murders that had taken place. He journeyed home alone, on foot, and it took him quite a long time, considering he collapsed on several occasions, hacking up black fluid and barely managing to keep his chest lifting for him to breath.
He made it back to the hotel in one piece and slipped into his room, fully expecting Alraada to not be there since she'd stayed away the last few nights. He headed into the bathroom without looking around and stripped off most of his clothing besides the shredded lower half of his suit. It was completely ruined. "What the hell!" He yelled in frustration, pulling the shower curtain with all his might and ripping the bar right out of the wall. He tossed it at the mirror and it shattered, the pieces tinkling to the floor. "Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you!" He spat under his breath, trying to calm himself but currently not succeeding.

Opening the door, ignoring Vale's frustrated yells from the other side of the door. Hearing the clash, she jumped, and immediately yelled. "Vale what the fuck are you doing?!" Her patience had been wearing incredibly thin, and this did not help. She knocked on the closed bathroom door. She let out a sarcastic "Honey, I'm home." as she waited on the other side of the door. |

As soon as Elenara had given the signal that they could return, Cyrus took off at full sprint back towards the hotel. Despite the strange karmic retribution afflicting the bodyguard that had tickled his fancy the first few times, he was quite literally clawing at the dinner table in frustration and boredom by the time his phone died around 7 pm. Upon seeing his partner he immediately leapt forward and hugged him eagerly, the grown man wrapping his arms and legs around Alti in a fashion that would've better suited someone at least a foot shorter.
"Oh thank fuck it's over," he sighed with exasperation, his arms draped over the other's shoulders until they'd returned to the room and tugged the door shut behind him, the scientist dropping his disheveled blazer onto the bed. "My. God. Alti, you have no fucking idea how ready I was to slug that fucking bodyguard in the face. Me. Punching someone in the face," he emphasized his aggravation, starting to loosen his lopsided tie. "I didn't realize that when Elenarass assigned me to a different partner she'd be assigning me a shitty family unit, with a literal child and a soccer mom with half a stick constantly wedged up her ass," he groaned.

He moved back into the hotel and took the elevator up to their room to purposefully make Amil have to wait even longer and give him more time to gather his thoughts before the confrontation that was sure to occur. Amil was somewhat thankful for his partner still taking the time to get him the little help he needed from the paramedics. However, there was still tension between the two. Nace was clearly furious about the Amil's current situation with Zadinya while Amil was less than thrilled about Nace's mention of the 'deal' he and Vale had made to one another. He said nothing as Nace walked off into the elevator without him, sighing in annoyance and having half a mind just to avoid the confrontation all together. Once Nace had gone upstairs, however, Amil broke out into another coughing fit, stronger than anything prior. A large amount of black sludge slowly crept its way out of Amil's mouth, the man nearly vomiting at the sight as the little creature attached itself to the amalgamate shirt he'd been wearing. The man stood up from the wheelchair shakily and hit the ascend button. "This is gonna be a pain..." The elevator doors opened, and Amil began his dreaded ascent back to his room where he was sure to get into yet another shouting match. He slowly stepped out of the lift and through the hall, creaking his door open with a frown plastered on his face. "Alright, lets hear it."
Aberdeen completely ignored Elenara's demand to stay at the hotel, only stopping there to grab a jacket knowing they'd be out much later than usual. Based on the address Beckham had provided, he lived relatively close by, only about a half an hour walk from the hotel. Rather than waste money on an Uber or taxi, they began to trudge towards their friend's home. This provided them with much needed time to gather their thoughts and think about exactly what they'd tell their friend once they arrived. |

After an entire evening of playfully bickering with the unemployed agent, their bitchy puppetmaster finally gave them the signal to end their date, Alti immediately cramming Maicy through a portal leading into her room and stepping through right after her. He feverishly looked around the space, the man far too excited to see his actual soulmate again to taunt the girl about her partner's apparent absence properly. He did anyway. "Haha, would ya look at who was right after all!" he cackled, leaving her alone in the room to collect her thoughts as he slammed the door behind him. Not even a few steps closer to his own room and the loud thumping of steps of his aforementioned boyfriend quickly turned him around, Alti laughing jauntily as Cyrus' rather childish display of affection caused him to stagger back a bit. "Well, someone missed me!" he giggled as he hugged the other tightly. His smile didn't fade even after they backed into their room, and especially not after listening to the engineer's pure dismay concerning his 'date'. "Oooooh, sounds interesting!" he teased, seating himself on the very edge of their bed and placing his hands on his lap, "Tell me more~" |

"Oooooh, sounds interesting!" he teased, seating himself on the very edge of their bed and placing his hands on his lap, "Tell me more~" Cyrus snickered as his partner immediately took interest in whatever dismay the popstar and her guardian put him through, smirking and shaking his head. "I'm pretty sure I spent a good 75% of the date staring at my phone, but the times I wasn't trying to cram my body and soul through this 6 inch screen to try and escape," he held up his dead phone and lightly shook it a few times, "It was mostly spent just bickering with that nagging bitch of a bodyguard. Holy fuck was she annoying." The scientist flopped himself next to Alti on the edge of the bed, planting his hands on his knees and leaning forward a bit to get a better look at him. "What's even worse is that the arguing was probably the second most exciting part of the stupid date, and the kid just kept cutting it short by interrupting and crying and whining." Cyrus sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose between his fingers. "There's a reason kids are not in the equation," he added as an aside. "Anyway, the best part of the date was the kid punched her own babysitter in the damn face. That was pretty great. Total accident but shit was it satisfying. Of course for the following couple hours I had to deal with a caffeine-high infant but," he gave a wink, "Worth it." |

"Vale what the fuck are you doing?!" Her patience had been wearing incredibly thin, and this did not help. She knocked on the closed bathroom door. She let out a sarcastic "Honey, I'm home." as she waited on the other side of the door. He flinched at the sound of Alraada's voice filtering through the door, the knock sending him almost flying. He froze for a moment, unsure what to do in his current state. This was not the way he wanted to look for this conversation... {Spoiler - Click to View} "D-Don't come in!" He screamed, pushing himself full force against the door and locking it shut. "W-What are you doing here?! I thought you were staying with Alti and Cyrus." He was a far cry from prepared for this confrontation.
Nace stared at the other for a long moment, clearly furious with everything that had happened. But instead of saying anything, he started to undress, taking off every article of clothing on his person. He then went over to Amil and removed the jacket he'd given him earlier, going out onto the balcony, still ass naked, and taking out a lighter. He spent a few minutes trying to light the outfit before it finally caught and started to burn. He journeyed back inside and put on sweats and a t-shirt before going back outside to sit and watch the blaze. He glanced at his partner, a tired look in his eyes. "Care to join me?" He whispered. |

Alti jokingly gave his partner a few reassuring pats on the back before using the same arm to pull the man close. He lightly caressed the side of the scientist's face as he spoke. "Aww, sounds like you had a rough time..." he pouted, the ends of his lips slowly curling up into a smirk. "Did the kiss at least help a little?" |
