One of them went something along the lines of 'why father why why why th the pain why.'
The other went something like 'goddammit I knew you'd get me killed when I die can I at least have this body to myself now would appreciate it I sure hope some other stupid insane thing doesn't happen to me at the last second.'
And then she landed and shuddered before suddenly growing unnaturally still.
It didn't even take that long for Syvex to leap blindly towards Riko.
The colors were still there, beating his mind, thrashing it even, but he could still tell at least vaguely what was going on. And that blur of black and white and brown and gah all those other insidioiusly bright colors, it was definitely Eureka going down and he couldn't say he particularly liked that. So Riko's sick, triumphant smile was quickly wiped off his pale face when he was suddenly on the ground as well and there was a heavy load in the form of an angry, black serpent on his chest.
"Get off!" the scientist roared and again, electricity crackled from his fingers and again he aimed them at another living being and Syvex was thrown back and crashed against the wall before struggling upright again. Riko aimed more lightning at him until he decided it would be best to have a tactical retreat. He promptly disappeared through a portal and Riko once again stood triumphant.
"Pastor," he barked, dusting off his clothes.
Ripper jumpped and hesitantly said, "...Yes...?"
"I would like to attend a confession, Pastor," Riko continued, now sounding very shaken. "And I would like to prepare an unmarked burial for--" and here, he turned to gesture and possibly spit upon the body of his former son but found there was no body to spit upon. "...What...? Where did he go?!"
"Uh," Ripper said, having seen the second portal pull Eureka through but not exactly willing to tell the insane Riko. "Well...uh...witch...craft...?"
Riko's face darkened. "Of course. Come, Pastor, I think I may need your help in purifying my old abode."
Blackmask inwardly groaned but still, as Riko stiffly turned around to walk through the halls, he followed behind.
Salt apparently didn't work so well, but maybe he could figure something else out...
---------------------------
And with a jerk, Eureka sat up. Or rather, more like convulsed in a way that forced her to sit up.
She had no idea where she was and it seemed that her eyes weren't seeing right so for now she couldn't know at all and oh god she ached all over though actually she felt numb and her hands were shaking augh dammit and for some reason all her thoughts were being said in a Brittish accent or something.
"God fucking dammit!" she shouted, or would have, if she were able to shout clearly.
"G-god fug--fucking dammit," she titubated instead.
Wait what the hell? What sort of word was 'titubated?' That sounded vaguely...sexually related.
No, it's a word meaning 'to stumble.' I stumbled in speech, so I thought it fit.
Oh god her head hurt gaaaah.
"I'm glad you're back to normal," Sytex Cylix Steelix Syvex said, coming out from some sort of dark corner and where was she anyways she still hadn't figured it out yet. The shadow snake stared down at her as she clutched her head. "Or...are you?"
The dickcissel shook her head and okay wait now I know that's a dirty word.
Actually, it's a type of finch. I was making a pun.
That was a stupid pun.
And okay, maybe I was hinting something too because honestly I'm not exactly nice.
Gaaah dammit why won't you leave stop thinking we're an 'us' does that even make sense aaaaagh.
"I'll take that as a 'no,'" Syvex said slowly. Eureka wasn't looking too well. She looked like she was going to tear out her hair, and actually, now that he stared at it, another flash of color blinded him...but whatever these confusing colors were...was her hair...
"I...uh...is your hair getting darker?"
Eureka looked up at him for the first time and then picked at her hair to try to look at it but her hair was too short for her to really get a good glance, but yes, perhaps it was getting darker.
Syvex rubbed his eyes before he remembered that he didn't have any. The flashes of color wasn't as severe as before, but still...so blinding. "Ugh...uh...your eyes might be changing color too."
Eureka stared up at him again, looking panicked, before she started beating her head. Syvex caught her arms. "Don't."
And Eureka sat on the floor of whatever the hell room she was in and dammit this place this sucked so much. "I, I--he--I...khkhkhan't get ooout," she finally managed to moan.
Syvex wasn't entirely quite sure what this meant, but at least Eureka was starting to look like Eureka, despite the hair and eyes. Her scarf was looking like a scarf at least, though her jacket-sweatshirt still seemed to be arguing against itself. Maybe the shock did something...weird. "Alright, whoever you're supposed to be or at least partly supposed to be, do you know what's in the basement?"
The random flashes of color had apparently stopped by now, but he was somehow sure that if he moved around too much, they would start up again. Eureka stared at him again, not even trying to tug her arms out of his grasp. "I--I, I, he, I don't know you sh-shouldn't go duh-own there..."
Syvex made some sort of exhaling frustrated noise. "Can't anything here just make sense? I don't know, is it too hard to ask for somehting concrete here?"
Eureka unfolded herself from the floor and hesitantly stood up, wrenching her arms away this time with a patented Eureka glare, which Syvex was actually relieved to see. "I--I...you, er...oh da--da..." She took a deep breath. "Damn it, so I'm not thinking so well ugh...I'm, no, he's...there's some stupid family issues going on here and I don't want to be a part of it but I've been forced into it so look let's just get out of here so th-this guy can stop whining to me..."
"Family issues?" Syvex repeated, thinking about the journal he had picked up. "I think someone wrote about that stuff in here...though I haven't been able to understand the writing..."
Eureka cringed away from the journal and massaged her head again. "D-don't even...I-I'm not going to tell you what that says. Could probably guess, though. Probablyaboutmybeautifulsister--" Eureka almost bit her tongue trying to stop herself. Syvex stared at her.
It was almost getting awkward in here.
