"Actually, this whole thing might make a nice comic..." he smiled thoughtfully. "Warning for what?"
Charlotte nodded. "Got it! I'll warn everyone." Plucking a chibi from her pocket, she whispered into his ear. "Look out for the colored Stellas!"
Emi and Eri sat up and ran to Gren, who was enjoying a bit of baking.
"WAACHAUUT CARAADU SUTERAAAAA!" they shouted at him as he was taking the cookies from the oven.
He started mildly, glancing over. "...What?"

"Ya know, the cult stuff," Max answered quickly. "Part of the reason stuff like that happens is people don't know 'bout it. They don't know what ta look for."
"I just hope the other mes don't do anything radical," Stella said, clearly worried. "At least we know there's one upstairs...Blue should be just as easy to get back."
"It shouldn't take long," Terry encouraged her with a pat on the shoulder. "And besides...they're all you. They wouldn't do anything you wouldn't."
"That's what I'm afraid of...without me to regulate them, this could be more clean up than simply collecting them."
"Got any leads on the others?" Tyler asked, now resigned to help.
"They're running on their own...but they might gravitate to places or people they resonate with," Stella hummed in thought.
"When one is disoriented and overwhelmed, they often cling to their comforts. It's a good place to start."

"Oooh, right." he nodded, having forgotten about the cult. "Or it could backlash...people might write it off as a stupid story."
Charlotte nodded. "Well then...we should probably warn Mr. Saxophone. I dunno what your history is, but he seems like someone who needs tellin'." she said calmly. "Who're you mad at, and who are you jealous of? Those two are the important ones to wrangle."
Gren shook his head and nibbled a cookie. "...I should share these." he said to himself, knowing what the danger of a tray of cookies is left in the hands of a lone sweet tooth.

Stella took a seat. "That's a bit of a laundry list," she chuckled nervously. "Where's Sol when you need him...?"
"You rang?" He answered in a Lurch-like voice, popping out of the basement. "Why is your hair--oh...your favorite, I assume?"
"Please." She nodded, shooting a "shut up" glare to Terry, whose open mouth shut with narrowed eyes. "I know, hon; you don't need to tell me. Let's see...there's a few exes, my father, a couple employees, um...and Eli, I suppose, as far as people with whom I hold anger or resentment."
She picked up the newly completed glass, taking a long sip. "Gods, this is embarrassing..."
"Well, if you, say, talked about this more, there might not be seven Stellas running wild with emotional baggage." Terry prodded slightly.
"You're wiser than I first thought," Tyler quipped. "I don't know many of your exes, but I can check out HQ and make sure there aren't any reports there."

"Now be fair, Terry...it's hard to talk about things like that to people you care about. It makes one worry that they'll think less of you, and not love you as much, no matter how much that reason may dictate otherwise." said Charlotte calmly. "You get to scold her when you bear your own anxieties and insecurities unto the masses. Now...which emotion was yellow? Orrin, dear, do you know the corresponding emotions?"
Gren stepped out of his apartment, tray in hand and Fritz at his ankles, and started down the hall before pausing at the curled form nearby his door. "Stella? What brings you around at this hour..?" he asked curiously, crouching down to eye level.

Blue Stella looked up to Gren, tears streaking up her cheeks, no glamour to be found. "I'm sorry..." She said, voice a little scratchy. "I'm sorry...I wasn't thinking...the wine's no excuse..."
"Well, red would probably be anger...orange is joy, yellow I believe is fear, green is envy, blue is sorrow, indigo is serenity, and purple would probably be love, or passion. It tends to go either way." Orrin nodded sagely.
"That sounds about right, for what little I saw of them before they left," Terry echoed. "So, sorrow's sitting upstairs somewhere..."
"She won't hurt anyone," Stella nodded. "We should focus on those two dangerous ones. Since we haven't seen Red around here, we can probably assume Eli's safe."

'This again? I wonder where that came from..." he thought with a perplexed frown.
"Oh, it's too nice a night to dwell on stuff like that..." he sighed with a small smile. "Here...this'll pck you up." He held out a cookie kindly as Fritz sniffed her before rubbing her shin, claiming another human.
"Thank you...I like knowing who'll fight." she nodded with a grin. "Mmm...what about...you know, the necromany psychic lady?"

Blue Stella looked to the cookie, then to the cat, then to Gren again. "...I don't deserve that...why am I even here...I'm just bothering you..."
"Sybil? She's long gone...besides, I can't be mad at her for being manipulated, too. Never mind the losses, the mental hell she put me through, almost murdering me..." She paused, looking to a skeptical Terry. "Okay, so I may still be a bit angry about that."
"Do you know where she is?" Orrin asked. "These are all you...they can only act on your knowledge."
"No idea...but Kristen would, I think..."

"Nah, I'm all right today." he smiled, patting her shoulder before setting his tray down a moment and putting his pocket handkerchief into her hands. "Go on and have a good cry, though...we can talk after that." he said reassuringly with a smile. "I'll be in the main room.
With that, he made his way downstairs. Spotting White Stella, he blinled and glanced back up the stairs. "So that'd what they meant..."

Blue Stella looked down at the handkerchief, then the cat, then back to the handkerchief. She began to tear up again, and soon she was crying again into the cloth.
White Stella, meanwhile, turned beet red and looked down, hiding her face in her hair. She knew what that meant. Oh, gods...why'd he have to see that?!
"Glad you got the warning," Terry said with a sigh. "Long story short, I accidentally split Stella."
"Five mes unaccounted for..." Stella said quietly, taking another sip of her drink. "I thought one would show up here."
"If you see a red or green Stella, please let us know and keep your distance...those two may be dangerous." Orrin added.

He nodded, comprehending the situation for what it was, and held up the tray. "Well, I made cookies..." he offered.

"Yoink," Tyler said, picking one up before vanishing to HQ. He had some employees to check on...one of them being Kristen. If Red Stella wanted to take out Sybil, the young oracle would see her first.
"While I'm sure this was not intentional, it is quite good timing on your part." Orrin smiled, taking up a cookie himself. "I'm sure there is nothing to worry about...how hard can it be to spot five Stellas?"
"You do turn heads," Terry smiled, looking to her lovingly.
"Even at a time like this, you're being corny and romantic?" White Stella shook her head, though a smile crept onto it. "Thanks."

"Cookie!" chirped Charlotte, trotting over and fetching one, tossing another to Felix. "Oooh, peanut butter... Thank you!"
"Oh, you're welcome...just felt like sharing the fruits of a whim." he smiled genially. "So, do we have a plan in catching Stellas?"
In the hallway, following the sound of sobs, a pair of bright roller blades rolled to a stop in front of Blue and Fritz, who'd since taken a loaf position nearby. He leaned over, raising his goggles and smiling widely, faint dubstep echoing from his headphones. "Aloha~"

Blue Stella raised her head from the handkerchief to the strange rainbow boy. "...Max's brother...?" She asked, having no idea who this was. "What do you want from me...?"
"Basically, find them and get them back in the prism," Terry answered, gesturing to the crystal White Stella clutched in her opposite hand like a lifeline. "Once we catch them all, we can restore her to her colorful self."
"Who's playin' pokemon?" Max asked, peeking her head downstairs. "Whoa...nice look, Stella! Very Gandalf!"

Aravilui looked in just in time to hear 'Gandalf' and he looked around quickly, then his eyes settled on White Stella curiously. Was that who was meant?
To be honest, however, it was the smell of something sweet and baked that had caught his attention most. The tray looked as though it were being pro-offered, and he slipped closer curiously.
