"Thats a typical Vi thing to do. Eolyn might not let him anyway if she did then he would have bit her by now." Naruko said being rational once again, "Ok so just relax. Beat the wall break a window just stop flinging the dust." Naruko said. Turning back to Shouja and watched Film or also known as his brother shapeshift into a couch and then back to a Shouja doppleganger, "Nice tricks. But he cant remember his own shape...?" Naruko asked slightly confused.

Xei blinked and nodded. "I'm quite new, yes... Vi came looking for me," he bragged tonelessly. He strode into the room and wiped a centimetre thick of dust from a stool, then sitting on it, his eyes thinning, but he was grinning behind his blank-expression-mask. Spike had appeared out of nowhere and Xei watched him eagerly, listening with anticipation and worry for Eolyn. He gasped, looked down through the doorway to where Vi was. He suddenly felt so angry. He would do anything to protect those he cared about, not just someone as beautiful as Eolyn. "Spike," he said sternly "aren't you going to DO something?!" His voice was rough and though he wasn't angry at Spike, he couldn't help but take it out on him. "Quite frankly, I don't care if Vi is the leader of this group, but he CAN'T do that to his allies! Especially innocent ones!" He whipped his head around to face the brothers, and Naruko, looking for support.

Spike suddenly felt a weell of emotion behind his lids. He stuttered a little when he tried to voice what he wanted to. "Eoyln's in...She's in....She loves him." He sighed deeply and suddenly the emotion was gone. Now that he had said it aloud, it seemed all so true, but still the millions of dobts flew behind his blurred vision. "At least, I think so." He said, clearing his throat and trying to stifle his emotion under his metal exterior. "I don't know, I don't want to ask, but that bastard is taking advtantage of every one of her emotions."

Flim replied to Naruko first with a sideways glance, "Yeah, I've been shifting for about 10 years and I find it difficult to shift into something from memory unless I've seen it loads, and I barely saw myself as i was always different and eventually it was to hard to change back"
Then, in response to Xei's confrontation of Spike, the two brothers agreed in unison. "Spike I agree", Shouja spoke first, not that it made any odds to everyone else. "Vi just tried to, well, try it on with Eolyn, and if my eyes dont decieve me you aren't happy with that. Do something about it. Tell Vi how you feel and try and get through to him, just.." Flim picked up Shoujas loose end, "..don't resort to violence, like earlier. We've witnessed that it will get no-one anywhere with Vi. He's your friend Spike and you've followed him for how long? Although he isn't what I would call human, we can all be human about this. I've been in you city for more than 3 years and I've seen nothing but peace with very little of what we get in Elysirite, the attacking each other. It is now clear to me that you and Vi are an exception to that rule. I saw you stab him on the roofs, if you want to know. It had little effect, so talk to him like a friend and reach a civil conclusion."
The two brothers looked at each other, both surprised that they had given advice, let alone rational advice, and then both turned back to Spike as if to emphasise what they had said.

Tiger walked into the lobby and leaned on a wall. He sighed and closed his eyes and he caught up on sleep. Fidgeting and twitching, as he does in his sleep, before opening his eyes and growling. He just couldn't stay asleep today. Trying again, he crossed his arms. He closed his eyes and wished for peace, to cease the blood, to sleep without fear, things he would never get. Sighing and shivering though it was perfectly heated in the house, he closed his eyes and waited for the nightmares.

Xei breathed deeply and nodded at everything Flim and Shouja said. He felt appreciated, but now wasn't the time. He had to protect Eolyn. "Spike, we have to find her, I don't see her anywhere..." he suddenly felt fearful. "What if Vi already did something to her?!" He gasped and rushed to the doorway, stopping for a moment. "And, Spike," he said "she's not in love with him," he explained. He turned to face him. "I've seen her acting slightly affectionate towards him, but when I talk to her, she's always looking at or for a certain other individual." And he walked out of the room, almost bumping into Tiger on his way out. He looked at the great man, wondering why his eyes were closed. A snigger escaped him and he slapped a hand over his mouth. "Tiger," he whispered "um, are you alright?"

"There's not hope for our friendsgip anymore. We were a twisted pair to begin with, I knew it wasn't a true friendship. In fact, I would say we are a little better now than we were. At least we're not completely trying to kill each other all the time...just mostly we are trying to hurt each other." He sighed and opened his eyes, looking at the two identical Shouja's, Naruko and a rather worried looking Xei. It was obvious that Vi's actions were getting to him aswell. "Calm down, Xei. I doubt he has the courage to completely kill Eolyn, he might knock her out for a few days, but he wouldn't cuk her completely dry. I trust him on that. I'd kill him if he tried to hurt her though." He snarled and curled his fists into balls.
"Anyway. How is everyone liking the house?" He asked lightly, trying to soothe himself with normal conversation

There was a faint sighing sound as Irina reappeared in the entranceway. She'd found a hidey-hole for her things upstairs: they were inside a replica of Alexander the Great's statue. It seemed as though this house had been built for hiding things - she'd come across a number of similar hiding places and taken note of them all. She wasn't worried about any of the others stealing her things because it would be an easy thing to steal them back, even after they were sold on. Now that she though of it, it would be a simple way to raise funds: sell precious things and steal them back. She looked around the lobby, wondering who had abandoned such a grandiose house. It seemed old and as if it had some secret - the sort of place where she felt at home. You have a real hidden treasure now, she thought, as though the house would understand her. She'd always had an odd relationship with places and objects: they were alive to her. Maybe not breathing, but like her they could have intentions and desires. Whoa. Getting a bit sentimental there. Maybe I should go and socialise. "How do I like the house?" she butted in. "Nice. Big and dusty, but nice. Very appropriate, don't you think?"

Tiger opened one eye a slit and mumbled, "The house is cool, I guess." He rolled over on the wall and shut his eyes again, forcing the tears back at his memories that came to him again in his sleep. That's why he only slept when he had to. And why he was most likely insane, a combination of bad memories and lack of sleep.

"Exactly. You always flew at each other." Naruko said to Spike, "Sparks and Gunpowder." Sitting back down again and relaxing since trying to sort it out, "I havent been anywhere apart from here. But im liking the couch at the moment." Naruko said answering Spike's question, streching out on the couch putting his feet up making himself at home.
"Isnt there a way you could like see yourself for a few moments so i dont have to guess which is the real one every time I see you two?"Nakuro asked from the couch, "Xei, Eolyn might still be upstairs. I didnt hear her come back down." Nakuro said again from relaxing on the couch.

Xei peered at Tiger from below. "You're strange, why don't you join me in trying to find Eolyn, you know who she is?" He looked around him, looking into the room full of people. "Spike, come help me look for her, before she's found..." he called.

"Fine," Tiger mumbled. "I'm fine. And sure. Nothing better to do." Blinking out of sleep, he jumped up to where Xei was. "Yes, I've seen her before. Seen all except the newest ones." He prepared for battle, should things turn to the worst.

Spike sighed heavily again, coughing slightly as the dust was still clearing. "Everythings so luxurious, it's kinda freaky. Very suiting for us I suppose." He said. While he was speaking, Vi had sauntered in with a guilty limp. He tried to look very innocent but failed as his thoughts toyed with his face. "Eolyn's fine. I don't plan to hurt her. She's upstairs" He said simply, slightly adressing Xei's frantic need to find her, flopping onto a large couch, making the dust fly up into the air, puffing a cloud of smoke around him. Spike felt himself tense up in Vi's presence, which Vi obviously heard. "Calm down Spike. You may not class me as a friend, but frankly you're the closest I have to one." He 'looked' at the floor, trying to stay unemotional. "I do have feelings for Eolyn." He lied outrightly, praying that no-one could detect lies as a gift. after a few moments, it seemed that he had got away with it successfully.
It was silent for a while, and then finally Vi spoke again. "People, I know you all want to kill me for preying on Eolyn, but theres something about her which is irresistable." Spike flinched when Vi said the word irresistable, he was probably thinking about her taste or smell. Spike decided to focus of Irina, the only other girl around. He smiled at her goofily, wondering what type she fell for.

((I hope Spike hasn't ignored Xei's comment on Eolyn, where he says that she acts interested in Spike)) Completely frustrated that Spike was completely ignoring him, Xei ran up the giant staircase, not noticing Vi, and kept his eye on Tiger as the two joined to search for her. "Eolyn!" Xei called, slipping through walls to check inside of them, even jumping several stories, checking every room, desperate to find her. Along his search, he discovered many empty rooms with single beds in them, many rooms with just a dust-covered chest of drawers in and rooms that were plainly there for storing a type of box. 'Eolyn, where the hell are you hiding?!' he thought, panting for breath.
