 Mai Zeigmus ┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━═✥═━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓ Motion Detected....
Scanning....
Identity Confirmed: Rem Nipal
Status: Safe
Mai's artificial intelligence in her eye had taken notice of Rem's entrance into the room, remaining observant of her actions while Mai slept. When she crossed a certain threshold of space ebtween her and Raeka, however, Mai's protocol triggered. Her cybernetics began to silently whirl, activating its cogs and machinery inside.
Protocol activated: Chocobo's cry.
Injecting stimulus.
Mai immediately clenched the seat of her chair tightly, eye snapping open with blurry vision as she saw Rem leaning over to Raeka's face, the sound of magic going off.
WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!
Mana surging.
The alarm bells were going off, and without warning to Rem, Mai practically slammed her foot against the floor and threw herself right at Rem in a rocket propelled motion, slamming into the girl and pinning her back against the floor shouting at her, enraged. "THE ******** YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING TRYING TO KISS MY MAN WHILE HE'S ASLEEP?! I'LL KILL YOU!!!" She was lost in fury, and her arm raised up, as if she was about ready to punch Rem across the face.

____________________________________________________
Rem may not have felt something, but Raeka could. Her proximity made the potential sorcery in the boy move, a familiar scratching at the back of his skull that seemed foreign when he could not hope to manipulate it. Not anymore. His eyes behind his closed lids followed Rem, an unnatural focus as something beyond the boy was watching the girl. The closer Rem was, the easier it was for the Other to manifest. Closer, it stirred. Closer, the eye lid reappeared on his forehead, as if someone drew it on yet again. Closer...
Mai struck. Feeling his magic so close and pulled away so quickly, Raeka's third eye opened for a moment. Draw. The silver haired boy's eyes fluttered open at the commotion. The Other did not care what it took. Draw. The noise was really just that, noise, and all he could do at first was recognize the voice. "...Mai?"____________________________________________________

WHUMPH
Rem was off her feet, and then her back hit the floor! Zeigmus was on top of her, shouting in her face! Training kicked in enough for her to throw her arms up to brace for the blow! But the eyes looking up at Mai were wide and distraught.
”I di-didn’t…!” the Princess gasped, breathless and addled. She couldn’t get out enough words to explain. Didn’t even know if she could explain! What was she thinking?!

Mai Zeigmus ┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━═✥═━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓ The adrenaline burning through her was causing her to pant hard, her eye flaring with so much anger in them that she couldn't think straight. "THE ******** YOU MEAN YOU DIDN'T?! YOUR LIPS WERE BARELY AN INCH AWAY FROM HIS!" She clutched Rem's robe, yanking her up. She was prepared to swing down on her, but Raeka's voice snapped her out of her fury. She gasped, her grip lessening as she turned her head towards Raeka and got off of Rem. "Raeka!" She quickly moved away, going to his side, placing her hand on his head. "Are you... alright?" She asked. Regardless of how he answered though, her head turned back, her glare still present as she looked at Rem. "You both need to tell me what the ******** is going on between you two. No one is leaving this room until I get answers."

Raeka Everett-Maris Status: Confused.
Location: Gainsborough Maximum Security Ward
____________________________________________________
Oh. She sounded concerned. Her hand was so warm. Raeka realized he didn't have much strength as he attempted to sit up, and simply gave up and lied there. "I... what happened?" He asked his own question in answer to hers. The boy wasn't sure how he was, and he honestly did not even know where he was. Last thing he could remember was... blood? Shouting? Wait, what had happened?
The next question had him become more alert, if only because of the implication and the need to actually focus more on that to attempt and give a cohesive answer. It took him a moment to actually scan the room, to detect and recognize that Rem was there. Why was the Nipal girl here? "Babe, what are you talking about?" He asked, his gaze resting on Mai once again. "What is going on?"

Mai dropped her. Rem lay on the floor in a shaking heap. Her face was flushed and miserable. But the sound of Raeka’s voice drew her. He was awake? Had it…worked? Had what worked? No, no, she could feel it- Mai had worn them apart before it concluded. Before what concluded?
Mai wasn’t satisfied. She demanded answers. She wanted answers from Rem?!
”I don’t know what’s going on!” she insisted. Everything ached all over again- her eyes, her throat, her chest- was she going to cry? Did she have any tears left?
”H-He breaks onto the stage, a-and takes over, and then he…he…” Blood on her face. Raeka’s body falling onto her. The world erupting into ribbons of darkness that forced their way into her.
’The Succession of Witches,’ Nyale’s voice echoed in her head. Rem shoved that away.
She couldn’t do this. She couldn’t. Rem dragged herself up off the cold floor and, no matter Mai’s warnings, lurched her way toward the door. This was a mistake, this was stupid, this was all wrong! She- She had to get out.

Mai Zeigmus ┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━═✥═━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓ The fact that she wasn't getting anything out of them had her moving back from Raeka, her look of agitation present as she then turned to see Rem bolt for the door. "HEY!" She sprinted for the door, slamming her hand against it just as Rem pulled on the door handle to get out of the room. Immediately, Mai lunged forward on Rem, grabbing her and pinning her back against the wall. "You don't get to run!" She growled, her mood was not remotely pleasant for either of them. "What the ******** were you doing Raeka? You gave a surprise performance, and then when I find you backstage, you're pinning Rem up against the wall, like I am now, with some third eye on your forehead, and then got shot. After, your magic went crazy and Nyale said that there was some succession between you two. Your magic got ripped out of your body and into Rem, and now, shes in here trying to ******** kiss you?! Was there some surprise event I wasn't a part of where you two are kissing?!" Her tone was unsavory with Rem, if only because of what she witnessed. To her, it didn't matter anymore if Rem was having a panic attack. She tried to touch her man's lips. She wanted to know what the ******** was happening. And if she was going to brute force answers, she would.

Raeka Everett-Maris Status: Confused.
Location: Gainsborough Maximum Security Ward
____________________________________________________
"...what?" Raeka did not have the context or even awareness to properly catch up with what Mai was going on about. He was still pretty groggy, and trying to put together everything that had happened today was really something he wasn't equipped for at the moment.
You really pissed her off earlier. What did I do? Oh a nice duet with Rem for starters, big guy. You're in the dog house.
He blinked for a moment when he was finally cognizant that she had said 'Succession'. His magic was gone? That couldn't be right. Raeka tried to focus, his magic not responding to his immediate demand, but he was in a hospital bad. He had to just be tired. Right?
____________________________________________________
 Salem Everett
Status: Dad
Location: Gainsborough Maximum Security Ward
____________________________________________________
The hospital door to Raeka's room slid open. It was with a practiced gentle ease that would even slide Mai across the room. In the light stood Salem, with a finger over his mouth as he simply whispered a hush 'Shhhh'. In the last two hours, Marem had visited Raeka. This one being the youngest of the three kids, they had also fallen asleep outside of Raeka's room. Salem gestured to his sleeping youngest son. "Please, do not wake those who are sleeping."
A warm flutter crossed the father's heart as he saw Raeka was awake, if not absolutely confused and flustered in the emotional fallout of the day. He glanced at Rem for a moment. "Take it easy, Ms. Nipal. You will have to face a lot in the coming days. You can no longer hide your sorcery, and will need proper education."
Salem's attention turned to Mai. "I can not speak for what Rem and Raeka were up to." Liar. "However, a few things. A Sorcerer can not die without passing off their power. This is called a Succession. This is why my son no longer is a Sorcerer." It stung for him to say it, but it was a fact. He hoped the boy could recover from this. "And his third eye has been with him since birth, you've never noticed the mark upon his forehead after he slept?" Salem made a small motion towards Raeka, indicating the mark was there again.
"For the rest... Mai, can you wait until morning? I would like Rae to rest some more before he's grilled further, but I'll help you get the rest of the answers then. Deal?"

Pinned four times in one day. This had to be a record for her.
Rem was in no state to defend herself. Her head bounced off the wall paneling and Mai was holding her up as much as her own legs!
Salem saved her.
The change in the atmosphere was instant. Noise became quiet, violence became restraint. Rem grasped Mai’s wrists, but her effort to pry the woman off of her was worthless. She gave up. The woman could slam her head back against the wall or drop her. What did it matter? But for one thing that she couldn’t let go. In a small, relentless voice, she spoke:
”I’m not a Sorceress.”

Mai Zeigmus ┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━═✥═━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓ Mai was a little stunned when Salem came entering, managing to make the girl skid across the floor despite having pinned Rem back. Mai was definitely about explode from the lack of answers. She let go of Rem and backed off of her. It was obvious that Rem wasn't going to be helpful, and Raeka wasn't in the right mind to give her answers. With Salem being the only voice of reason, Mai relented. "As long as I get answers, I don't care who it comes from." She then turned her attention to Rem. "I don't know how you intended to help, Rem, but let me be clear. Keep. Your lips. Off. MY! Man. Or we'll be having a real international incident." And, with that, Mai was done. "I'm going to bed. I've had enough today." Her stress was eating at her, and being injected with the equivalent of adrenaline had really set her in a bad mood.

Rem walked the hallways alone. A cloak of shame hung on her shoulders. She hugged her robe closer to herself, turned into a stairwell to avoid a passing nurse, and began to climb. And as she climbed, she mumbled to no one.
”I’m not a Sorceress.”
”I’m. Not. A. Sorceress.”
—
Halfway down the hall to her room, her brother slumped over next to the door. Someone must've taken the chair. She stepped over him and through the sliding door.
Eren felt the bed move. He’d fallen asleep in the chair beside it, his head on his folded arms. There was Rem, leaning back against the angled bed. She stared at the opposite wall without seeing. Purpling bruises encircled her throat.
Mission failed.

Items:
Cosmic Magic ShooterThey had parted ways for the moment, Rem wanting to make sure that Mai was comfortable upon Rem's return that Eren was far out of the picture. Of course, Eren was fuming at that. He had no problems with people who started fights, generally, but what he hated were situations when people would cause trouble intentionally and then LIE about it. The look and sound of Mai's voice had been pure condescending annoyance which only served to irritate him further. Said irritation subsided slightly upon Rem's touch, de-escalating his temper just enough. It was needed clarity, allowing him to raise his hand in a mock goodbye. Eren Kyng got the picture, he wasn't allowed. Despite his mild apology and condolensces, he was being treated as if he had been the enemy that shot the silver haired b*****d. More bullshit from arrogant people. His forehead furrowed in an attempt at self control, Rem quietly and politely and affectionately attempting to placate him. Eren did not like it and would not leave, only acquiescing to go outside for a moment to get fresh air. This itself did not last long either. He sat there, twiddling his thumbs for a few minutes, eventually laying back and looking up at the stars on the park bench he had positioned himself in. The night continued, and closer and closer it came to Eren having to leave to go back to Esthar Garden. A sense of foreboding settled in his stomach, wondering what the hell kind of breakout was happening up there that was causing such an uproar. Eren did not know much outside of what he did, the sparring and mechanical works being the only things he really cared about. The jail was not his priority. What was worse, he felt something good here with Rem Nipal, and just like last time, he did not want to leave as of yet. Good things get taken away, they aren't meant to last. He thought wearily, just imagining the poor goldfish Bartholomew being burnt to a crisp. Even his nice clothes weren't so nice anymore, fading away over the years of usage. A yawn took over his body, stretching as he felt a sense of unearned defeat walk onto his mindscape. "'m not sleepin' outside like some damn animal." He muttered, coming to a stand and walking inside while ignoring the nurses' gazes. Walking back to Rem's room, still empty, he sighed and found his way inside whilst shooting a weary glance at the flowers. She cared enough to put them in water, that's somethin'. That last thought brought him to sit once more near the bed, relishing in the nicer quality of comfort that it brought versus the bench outside. Might as well crash... He had a long day tomorrow.... Or so he thought. After starting to doze and drift into deeper sleep, Eren was jolted away as he felt someone's presence and a creak of the bed. HIs fist was clenched and he looked around wildly, like he was defensive of something messing with him in his sleep before he took in Rem's presence. "Rem?" His voice sounded weary, his eyes looking her over before immediately coming to her side, "Oi! Ya neck? What happened?" His voice was immediately laced with heavy concern, sitting beside her and checking her neck as the bruise deepened. What the ********> His hand gently grasped her chin, observing the new dark skin necklace that was adorning her. "Cure." The magic, powerful for someone as young as him, covering Rem and healing the noticeable bruising, "Ya look like ya seen a ghost..."

Ny sat on the window ledge of a dark and empty hospital room on the top floor, gazing out at the city. She had drawn her knees up to her chest and wrapped her arms around them, deep in thought. The door was locked, the lights off, and to her knowledge no one knew she'd come up here. It was for the best as she was exhausted and despondent, and in no mood to pretend to be her usual self. Truthfully she would have left the building if she could, but it had been made explicitly clear to her that she was to remain there for now.
Her mind drifted back to the argument she'd had with her mother 15 minutes ago. Upon arriving at the hospital after being carried back by Kalen he'd gone and passed out on the floor somewhere, evidently not caring where he slept, and she'd been immediately summoned to a room with her mother. She knew she was in for it. Ny closed her eyes, the scene replaying in her head...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Demoted?! What the hell?! On what grounds??"
Ny glared at Lis from across the private room in the hospital.
"It's Salem's decision. For my own reasons I don't wholly agree, but-"
"You're the HEADMASTER" Ny shouted, incredulous.
"-nevertheless. You acted rashly without orders and attacked an innocent person. And may I remind you that this is a hospital, so please keep your voice down" Lis levelled her stern gaze at her daughter, and Ny had the frustrating sensation that there was something she was not being told.
"Am I taking crazy pills?? Xaris SHOT Raeka. I'm not making this up. The evidence is fake. Why does no one believe me?" She paced the room, running her hands through her hair anxiously.
"When Koyuki had a meltdown and was on the verge of destroying the city with Kaiju, I showed up. Because it's my duty, as a SeeD and a Sorceress, that's what you both taught me. When Rae got injured, I kept him alive as best I could. And when I realised who the shooter was, I tried to go and stop her. And in return, I'm constantly chastised like a child by Salem, called a liar, and outright punished?? Tell me where that makes sense!" She exclaimed, throwing her hands up.
"Nyale, you need to calm down-"
"I will. Away from you. If I'm not needed, or wanted, why the hell would I stay"
The girl stormed out, the door slamming shut behind her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alone in her hospital room Ny rested her head on her knees, snowy hair spilling over as she stared blankly out the window at the night sky.

Sweet of him to be worried. She accepted the care without objection, as she seemed to have accepted the bruises. Eren took care of those. Sweet of him, again.
…
”I don’t know what I was thinking!” she groaned, digging her fingers into her own scalp as she flopped back onto the angled bed. It had felt right, at the time! She has no more tears in her, and her dried-up eyes gaze at the ceiling.
‘Til the door slid open.
”Rem?” came the exhausted, concerned voice of President Nona Nipal.
Rem snapped her head to the voice.
”Mom!”
Nona moved ‘round the other side of the bed to embrace her daughter. Rem cringed just a moment before hugging her mother.
…
The President was looking at him.
”He’s a friend,” Rem managed to insist.
They came apart, and Nona scanned him up and down. And frowned. But she nodded, at least, and looked aside. Rem pushed herself up enough to stand, unsteady as she may have been. But she caught Eren’s upper arm.
She escorted him (more like he carried her) to the door, and there at the threshold, she tugged his arm to stop him.
Rem leaned up and kissed Eren’s cheek.
And releasing his arm, she bade him a quiet ”Good night, Eren.”

Items:
Cosmic Magic Shooter "You were tryin' to be nice to someone who didn't need the effort from ya, I'd reckon." He muttered, making sure that the green magic had done its job. The bruises seemed to fade fairly efficiently and there was no other lingering damage, so Eren would take that as a sign of a job well done. A sigh of satisfaction came from deep in his chest, resting on the side of her bed. "You're not the firs' and won' be da last. Don't let it botha ya." One free hand touched her upper arm in a comforting way before it pulled back at the door suddenly opening, and the GOD DAMN PRESIDENT OF UNITA walked into the room. Immediately this caused him to stand, taking a step back as the woman crossed the threshold to embrace her daughter, worried out of her mind no doubt. To Eren, he had no idea about any of the sorceress nonsense that Rem was going through and apparently neither did Nona, who... Oh s**t, she's starin' at me.Eren froze as the woman looked him up and down, an attempt at a greeting and smile frozen on his face. This was a very famous woman, and Eren being anywhere near her vicinity other than watching on the television was...intimidating. "Ah....eh....ah.." SAY WORDS, YOU IDIOT. DON'T SPEAK TO A PRESIDENT IN BABY LANGUAGE. He mentally screamed at himself as he stood up straight and gulped, trying to recover the composure that he normally held around her daughter and others. "Mrs. President." That would work, even as he stepped to the side like an animal being eyed by a predator. To say she had an intimidating look and stare was, well, an understatement. Thankfully, Rem appeared and after Nona nodded, turning away, she brought him to the threshold while grasping his arm. There was no way for him to accurately process what he was feeling, but he would try regardless, having met too many famous people. This was like a weird dream and nightmare all intermixed to confuse the simple engineer from Esthar. One thing brought him back to earth. Her lips touched the side of his cheek, a thank you if there ever was one as she bid him a final goodnight and closed the door. He stood there for a moment, her brother snoring on the ground and the sound of machines in rooms all around filled the rest of the night. Gently, his hand came up to where she kissed him, almost in disbelief. Whether she knew it or not, he remembered everything about the contact and his face was crimson, the short memory re-running over and over in his head. "Heh..." he whispered to himself, his back to the door. "Didn't get to say goodbye...but not a bad way to end the night." He would message her that he had to go back to Esthar in the morning, unless things somehow resolved themselves before then, and that he had to help with the apparent riot. But...for now, perhaps it would be best to let what just happened resonate. One deep intake of air and he moved forward, down the stairs and through the lobby to only stop as he walked outside. His eyes wandered up to where Rem's room was, thinking for a moment before turning away, punching a fist in the air. See ya round, UNITA. It was a blast.
