"Can we go mess them up?" she asked, excited, glancing to Fee. "Look, Fee! Fishsticks! Eat them!"

A commotion could be heard upstairs in Violet's room, Azana and Father Wilson both trying to bind the demonic spirit that now bounded around the room looking for somewhere else to be. Violet herself cowered behind the two, the now empty collar laying on the floor.
"I can't keep up with this! Azana, any ideas?" He asked her, mostly concentrated on keeping the three of them safe.
"Well, honestly, I have no qualms doing this." She muttered a quiet incantation, a bolt of lightning connecting her palm and the spirit. It let out a high pitched squeal before limping for the window, its ties to the physical world failing. "Tell Kasdeya I said hi." One more, and it vanished in a wisp of smoke, leaving the room quiet.
"I suppose that works, too. Tell me, Violet, how do you feel?" He asked, glancing behind him to Violet.
"I...it's like I've woken up from a long nightmare," she answered, staring in disbelief at the collar on the floor. Her shoulders shook as she began to cry, just overwhelmed with the idea of finally being free of all this...

Fee pouted at Charlotte and produced a popsicle stick to patch the roof of his edible house before ducking back inside.

Charlotte ate another with am amused smile. "We're gonna beat someone up."
Gren stretched, sidling down the stairs, thoroughly satisfied.

Violet came downstairs quickly, almost colliding with Gren. She wore a beaming smile, something not seen on her...well, ever. Most notably, her neck was entirely bare. "Gren...!"
"I'll take this with me," Father Wilson said, plucking up the collar and holding it away from him like it would bite if held too close. "The last thing we need is their using this on someone else."
"Yeah...sorry I didn't call sooner. We were so focused on the curse that we didn't even consider the possibility that it was possessed." Azana said sheepishly, feeling like an idiot. "Shall I walk you out, or would you like to stay around for a bit."
"I have no pressing matters to attend to...where's your husband? I haven't seen him in a while." He asked.
"Probably in our room...come on; I'll show you where I call home."

Gren chuckled. "Wow, where's the fire, Vi?" He blinked, staring. A genuine smile, wide and real...and a bare neck, traces marks from its grasp that would fade in freedom.
"Violet...your collar!" he breathed, slowly growing a look of delight. "You're free! You're finally free!"

Violet nodded, giving him a large hug. "The weird antique guy...he broke its link...and then the priest got it off me..." She explained, that smile going nowhere until her cheeks started hurting.

He squeezed back, forgetting little of his caution, but the gesture genuine. "I told you, I told you we could get it off! I'm so happy for you, my dear!"

"You were right...I shouldn't have doubted you...oh!" Violet blinked, remembering something else she was going to ask about. "I finally finished that drawing...I owe the dealer for his help...is he still around?"
"Sol?" Azana called, opening the door a crack. "You better be decent; we have company!"
"Who is it?" He asked, pulling his shades off the desk and replacing them, looking to see. "Father Wilson!"
"It's been a little while...I hope you've been well," he greeted, clearly a little fatigued. He really was growing a bit old for exorcisms.
"He's going to stick around for a little bit before heading home, but he wanted to see you...so, get out here and be social. I have a feeling there's going to be a party soon."
"It worked, then? Violet's--"
"Safe, healthy, and completely free. And all thanks to you." Azana smiled lovingly, giving him a kiss as he joined them. The trio then walked down the stairs to join the others.

"It's really all right..." he smiled, understanding. "Marouse? I don't know...I haven't been down all day."
Charlotte pointed to the kitchen. "Try his chai. It's fantastic!"

"I can vouch for it," Azana said, joining the group downstairs.
Father Wilson gave a nod to Gren, looking once more to the odd young woman. He didn't recall meeting her.
"That's Charlotte," Sosol said, grinning as he strolled past. "What can I get you?"
"Ah...it's always nice to put a face to a name. I'm tempted to join the others in the call for chai." He chuckled...it wasn't really his cup of tea, so to speak, but with rave reviews like that, he had to at least give it a try.
Violet peeked her head into the kitchen. "M-Marouse...? Are you in here?"

Marouse hunched over a bubbling cauldron of tea, a jeweler's eyepiece in place as he carefully squeezed an eyedropper of something into the pot. "Come in...it's nearly done." He straightened up, smiling. "And what a fine sight your neck is, Miss Violet."
'Hello, Father! You're looking good today!" she waved happily.
Gren smiled fondly to the Father. "You've done wonders."

Violet walked into the kitchen, raising an eyebrow at the precision he put into his chai. "Thank you," she said, rubbing it slightly and getting used to lacking something on it. "I, erm, finished your payment...whenever you want it..."
"Thank you, Gren, Charlotte...but I'm remembering why I retired from that business." He chuckled, taking a seat at a table. "It's cliche, but I really am getting too old for this."
"Don't let his modesty fool you..." Azana said, nudging him lightly. "He's the best at what he does."
((And I'm running late for a night out! Laters!))

(Have fun!)
"In good time...though, I'm sure it's lovely...I bet the next is the loveliest of all." he mused, satisfied with the chai, pouring several mugs.
"Perhaps...but, you're never too old for tea." smiled Gren, passing a mug along.
"Hear hear!"

Enra stepped downstairs with his plans for the invention he wanted. It was basically a Swiss army knife type thing, and he only knew what he wanted it to do: It would be the ultimate multipurpose gadget, filled with harpoon launchers and switch blades and machine guns and Slurpee machines and churro makers... He wanted to see the guy flip out when he saw it.
