The man chuckled. "I apologize. My name is Tayr. You could call me lord of the dead, the Grim Reaper...any name you could come up for Lucifer...But I'm the Head Grim." He took another pull from his cigarette. "You are currently standing in Beyond, the spirit world. Don't worry, you're not dead." he leaned against the wall. He carelessly toyed with the thermostat, turning down the temperature. "There's been what we call a rip. Something has broken the barrier that separates Beyond from the world of the living. You were one of the ones to suffer. Your soul was pulled through the rip. Rest assured, we are trying everything to fix the damage."
Xonah stood in Rosalie's doorway. He turned away. "She's so ridiculous." he murmured. "I'm right here." He walked over, cautiously placing his hand on hers. He passed right through. Xonah cursed.

"How soon will it be fixed?" Bordeaux asked, feeling desprate. "I have a small child and..."
Ovan cursed. "Damn..It IS low! Could you get it Glide? I've sort of got Odette passed out on me.." "I've got it." Maltov walked in, turning it up again. "Any news? Good, I hope.." She frowned.
"I wish I could die....." Rosalie muttered half-heartedly, hugging her Xonah plushie. "Then I'd be able to find him.......And then..."

Tayr chuckled. "I've got a ten year old." Glide shot back. Tayr moved the thermostat back to its previous temperature. "No guarantees or estimated dates, I'm afraid." he said. "Before the year is over."
Xonah sighed. "Don't do that, Rosalie..." he murmured. He sat at the foot of her bed, looking at her. "I wish you could hear me..."

"Before the year is over..?!?!" Bordeaux hissed. "YOU MEAN I DON'T GET TO HAVE CHRISTMAS WITH MY KID?!?!?" She grabbed Tayr by his collar. Ovan also managed to laugh. "So...I guess I'll have to get cleaning after Odette wakes up, hmm?" "I'll do it." Maltov offered, emotionless. "Ok then." Ovan sighed.
Rosalie sighed again. "..But then again....He's probably gone for a reason......Without a word......." She sorrowfly glanced at her wedding ring. "Probably found some woman who is much more like Noah's Delilah...Someone prettier..More self contained...."

Tayr pushed her away, straightening his jacket. "I never said that! This'll clear up by the end of the week, most likely."
"Rosalie..." Xonah shook his head. "Rosalie, stop being so stupid!" he punched the bed. The springs creaked slightly. Xonah blinked. ((Intense emotions can cause very minute reactions from the living world.))

"It'd BETTER." Bordeaux hissed, watching him. "How can I help?"
Rosalie squeaked slightly, not expecting the springs to creak at all. She sat up, eyes still teary, clinging to the plushie. "W-What was..that...?" She wondered aloud.

"Let me know if anyone else ends up going through the rip." Tayr said. He turned and walked off. "Oh, and if you see any rogue Ahtafs...make sure to let me know. They'll be the death of me." he laughed, vanishing.
Xonah looked at her. He pressed his hand on the bed. Nothing happened.

"B-But what are...?" Bordeaux quietly asked, but sighed seeing he was gone.
Rosalie sighed again, looking over at her small bedside table. She picked up a book, perhaps hoping to get such greif out of her mind.

Glide coughed suddenly. "Ow..." A strange creature loomed over him. It was anything but human. It was translucent, and pale white. It's head was human proportioned, but was featureless, except for pointed ears, blank white eyes, and slits for nostrils. It's arms were long and too thin to have any bones. Its hands were larger than its head, and ended in pointed claws. It's body was thinner than any anorexic, and it had no feet; it's body melded with the floor. The thing chuckled telepathically. ~That flu'll set in soon...then you're all mine...~ it said in an evilly gleeful sort of way. "Daddy?" Kalos frowned. Glide coughed again, and sniffed. "I'm fine. Just something lodged in my throat, I guess."

Bordeaux's protective override kicked in. "GET AWAY YOU...THING!" She hissed, drawing her blade. She took a swing at the creature, only to miss. The intense emotion caused a small crack on the TV screen, but nothing more.

The thing slithered back. ~You...can see me?~ Glide blinked, looking at the TV. "What was that?" ~But that's impossible! No mortal can see me unless I want them to!~

"It's got a crack..." Ovan frowned. "How roughly has it been treated lately?"
"I can DAMN well see you!" Bordeaux shouted, regaining her fighting stance. "Now GO AWAY! GO BACK TO YOUR REALM YOU LITTLE SON OF A-!" Bordeaux decided to refrain from cursing, only because she wasn't quite sure if she wanted to get in the habit of doing it around her son.

~Hmph, well it doesn't matter if you can see me. An untrained mortal like you couldn't possibly kill an Ahtaf!~ The creature melted into the floor, reappearing behind Ovan. ~These people, are your friends, yes? Perhaps I could give them a mysterious head injury?~
"I hardly ever use it at all. It's brand new." Glide frowned.

"NO! GET AWAY FROM HIM!" She cried, swinging with her sword again.
"What a shame..." Ovan frowned, unaware of the unseen danger.

The Ahtaf laughed, slipping out of the way at the last second. He vanished. He reappeared a moment later, but now he wasn't alone. In his hand, he held a struggling Seto. Tears were at the corners of Seto's eyes. "Wh-what are you doing to me?!" ~Come and get me, silly girl. You're putting the boy's soul at risk if you do."
