    It takes a long while of peace, proper care, and rest, but eventually "Ilpholin" begins to stir. Her arms have half-way grown back and the infection in her body has abated. The machines hooked up to her will be the first to indicate that she's starting to rouse, but if no one comes to check on her, "Ilpholin" slowly opens her bright pink eyes to take a look around.

    Blanche and Anika

    There’s a flash of clear interest in Blanche’s eyes before she fidgets, looking away slightly. ”I-I uh, I’d like to, but today’s... Er, not a good day for me.” She starts to walk, gesturing for Anika to follow. “I dunno what she’s calling us up for, but I’d really like to make it quick,” she remarks, burying her hands in her pockets.

Some you can't even tell apart from the undead so that's what a lot of them is jealous of if that makes sense. I admit that I assumed you shared that notion considering what you're wearing." She makes a gesture at the ghoul knight. "But perhaps there's another reasoning behind it? Also, we've gone on a bit long now but I promise that I'm just going to finish this series of questions if you're still up for it."

    "Hm? Oh no, I wear this helmet just to stay anonymous, not for looks. With a little makeup, I could pass for a quarter-orc. A cute quarter-orc," the ghoul insists, her vanity refusing to let this implied accusation of ugliness stand, even if it would put her secret identity at risk. "Here, promise me you'll turn off any cameras, crystal balls, or video recording you have on and I can show you," Saint Lazarus offers, one hand already reaching under her chin.

    Initiation

    Saint Lazarus shrugs when Fidelia turns to look at her. Fi, Jenette doesn't really know what counts as a large magical thigh mark either. Magical thigh markings aren't really her area of expertise, y'know? Maybe you'd have better luck asking one of the talking horses from Carousel Court to compare cutie marks.

    Faith blinks. "Oh. My apologies. Bad assumption on my part. But I was just gonna take a few pictures once we're done so there's no camera or any of that on. Your apperance is safe with me." The journalist promises. She certainly didn't want to stop Laz to take off her helmet. Journalistic curiosity and all that.

    Blanche and Anika

    "What? Why not?" Anika inquires as she puts down her staff and starts to slowly head in the direction of the commanders village. "You sick? Couldn't sleep?"

    This is sure another time then Off the path and Mia is still using her skills to heal people. After all thats what she did after joining Vigil. When the machines indicate her rising Mia will come and check them, just like they called for her. She will then send a short message to Wenomir and Cessie to inform them about the status of the patient.

    "Good day Mrs Ilpholin." Mia says, still keeping a bit of a distance. She is worried that 'Ilpholin' might assume she is still in AMEN.Not that it looks alike here.

    Fun fact!
    Awen actually knows a spell that would allow her to safely remove her head, so long as it's put back on before the spell ends.

    ...
    She doesn't have a similar spell for hands.

    "Yeah, I..." Awen feels like it might be helpful to explain the joke. "...there was someone stuck in a mirror. I helped her out, but my hand got stuck in it."

    She looks down at it, and wipes away her cheeks just in case there's still more tears there. "I...I already got help and it's all numb for now." A weakened paralysis thing.

    She doesn't really want to be reminded of it, however, so she tries to come up with a different topic to shift the conversation to.

    Offer to help with her letter. Invite her on a date. Ask about robots.

    If any 'demons' were here, they would then sit down next to Awen.

    "That's good." Mia says. "Just tell me if you need anything. I could assist you reataching the hand if you got it or I could build a replacement" In her world, body replacements where more common then high level medicine. Mostly because of the culture and the praise of a machine god.

    The catgirl fidgets again, biting her lip. L-look, it’s- it’s my time of the month and you’re really really hot and lotsa people on this base are kinda hot and- She trails off, the words flowing out like they’ve been pent up for a long time, Blanche being too shy to ever bring it up with anyone.

    The response seems a little extreme to Ithuriel too, but that's not what's bothering her about this. "Confirming that everyone is who say they are is one thing, but that security only lasts as long as they're within sight. As soon as they're gone, they could be targeted. That said-" Ithuriel glances round, "If they had already got in here, I think they'd have done something by now. It's worth the check, but...they've been quiet for a while now, which concerns me. Whatever happened to the fake me, she's still out there, so there's at least one not dealt with." She grits her teeth and clenches her fist, still frustrated by this.

    How dare there be a fake her.

    How dare they.

    She snaps out of it after a moment and focuses on the two commanders. "Commanders, I would recommend that after ensuring the current security of VIGIL, you dispatch operatives in pairs for the time being for any missions you believe may be connected to skinwalkers. I would also recommend teams be dispatched with a codeword or phrase to deliver on return. And I-" She pauses and looks thoughtfully at Anika. "Allowed myself to be taken in by this deception. I would like to make amends. Please, could you keep me informed if you get any leads, and let me join in any actions you take against the skinwalkers?"

    Wenomir will arrive in the infirmary once he hears "Ilpholin" is stirring. He's standing away from the bed, so as not to crowd her.

    [Commanders' Village]

    Wenomir returns from having made his phone call.

    "HALO should be here shortly." He then looks at Ithuriel, his expression fairly inscrutable. He may have met her before, but it was long ago. Still, the skin-walkers did use her form and voice, so she's right to take it personally. "We can consider it. But we need a strategy against them first." His own skills are probably not going to be terribly useful, so he'll just be delegating and organizing things.

    "I have no idea where it is, so reattaching won't work," she says. It's hard to reattach a hand that you lost in some alternate dimension mirror thing.

    Awen isn't from a high-tech world, so she is a little distrustful of replacing body parts with robots. However, However, deciding to follow the advice of one of the voices in her head - this one hasn't steered her wrong so far so that's pretty good reason to follow it - Awen decides to ask more about the robotics, since asking someone on a date is incredibly abrupt and she's still not confident in herself enough to offer help with past problems.

    "So you're pretty good at making robot hands?" she asks. "I - I think robots are kind-of weird but how did you learn to make them?"

    "Weird?" Mia asks a bit confused but also upset, after all she is a high priestress of a amchine god.
    "Where I am from I am a high priestress of a machine god, our main god." Not that there are others anyway. "So it is my daily duty to build things like hands. Thought mostly I build whole robots.

    See?

    This is what happens when Awen tries to do something she's bad at. She just makes other people upset or hurt.

    Most the other voices just tend to say obviously bad things, so they can be safely ignored, but the scariest ones are the ones that just have her do random seemingly meaningless things that later build up into larger events...for example, telling her to go to a restaurant, and then to glance over at a certain mirror, and then to investigate why it looks a little off, which then leads to...

    "Oh. I-I'm sorry," she says, apologizing for whatever offense she unintentionally caused. "It sounds cool, like you really know your stuff."

    Don't worry, Awen. She won't hold a grudge. Says the voice in her head. It's just speculating about that.

    "Sure thing, kid," Adir says. Up to her. He rolls his shoulders good-naturedly. He glances at Anika. "Man, you know how many funny looking chicks I see just walking around Inside? I don't know. Just seems familiar."

    He gives her a funny look as she gets down to examine the wound. What a strange gal. He barely even flinches when she touches his leg, and he just crosses his arms while she works. "I've had worse," he snorts at her comment, raising his white brows. "You're a sweet lady. I don't get compliments like that much anymore. Not since I was the official eye-candy back at Watchtower. Well, me and half the other guys."

    "But for real," he goes on, not sounding very real at all, "Are you hitting on me? A married man?" He clucks his tongue. "For shame. Not a good look for a VIGIL gal." He glances at his leg, blinking. There it goes. "...But you do have some redeeming qualities. Thanks."

    "You should know better too, Lucy." Sakura looks at her younger daughter. There's more warning in her tone. She gets away with being the baby in this situation, but not if she's taunting her sister.

    "It's okay, but you have to promise that next time you want to go off on your own you ask first."

    "I will." Bastion answers readily. Cora looks at Laela first. They're gonna get in more trouble if Laela keeps quiet!

    Ilpholin remains secreted away behind the curtain. She wants information, but if Ilphy wakes up in a panic, she won't get much. Maybe even less once Ilphy realizes her duplicity has been uncovered and shuts up. At the moment, Ilpholin is here to listen.

    Awen, as it happens, is nearby when Dorota, Fell, Mr. C, and all the other offscreen-but-participating HALO members come by.

    Notable traits about Awen are that her right hand is missing, her hair is in a ponytail (but is swaying - possibly because there's black snakes scattered in there as well).

    "Oh, hey, you guys are with HALO, right?" she asks. "Sorry, Wenomir had to make sure the base could still be functional while also making sure everyone could come by," she says. "I'm sure he'll come by as soon as he can."

    She walks towards them and explains how things are set up: "We've set up a handful of rooms around the base to help everything go smoother" and the offscreen members can go to some of the farther-away ones that will be mainly visited by NPCs, or can help the onscreen members but behind-the-scenes. "I'll show you to them."

    She leads them to [Testing Room A], [Testing Room B], and so on.

    [Cessie’s Office]

    It looks like Krakorow wants to sink into a hole and die until Wenomir mentions 'Magtok'. Instead of replying to Cessie, he just stares at Wenomir. "...that's the guy!" He exclaims while pointing a finger at the warrior. "The one that bought the Watchforce license! You even know one another?!" He looks between Wenomir and Cessie with wide eyes.

    [Commanders' Village]

    "Yes, it would have to come with new safety protocols as well and at this point. My idea was to double-check with other organizations if their members are coming to visit. But that's only in specific cases so we'll need to expand on that to make sure they don't take the role of someone inside the orgization after the tests are done. So I'm opening up for suggestions here." She gestures at the angel officer and nods firmly as if to affirm Ithuriel's anger. "Miss Von Holstav's are a good start. She's clearly more experienced than most of us dealing with this so unless there are any objections I'd be willing to invite her along to all our future operations. She would of course have to partake in the tests as well, but that's just a formality at this point I'd say."

    "We should just have those creepers and the demons fight one another. Like, mixing their goo's together- or no, that might be bad." Anika looks thoughfully at the ceiling, considering skincreeper demons.

    Anika and Blanche

    Anika raises an eyebrow. Blanche that always tried to act so under control was suddenly cracking? Geez. She needed to make her focus before she melted it seemed.
    "...'kay. I mean, you don't look bad yourself. I'd be more than willing to tap your ass." She remarks with a chuckle. "We could do it after the meeting if you wanna. To clear your head and stuff. Just try not to be so nervous about it. We're all friends, right? No one is passing any judgement here." She will put her arm around the catgirl and steer her towards the commander's village.

    Initiation

    "1095? Sorry, I'm not familiar with those terms. Alchemy was not a subject I majored in." She smiles appologetically. "But you don't need to be more specific than 'steel'. It's an alloy which is unusual though not unheard of. But if it's indeed what I suspect it is though, I'm offering you a chance to teach you how to use and control your powers better. If your're interested, that would double as your initiation 'trial'. If not, then we simply do something else. There are plenty of ways to be tested after all."

    [Spooky Encounters]

    That apology should be aimed at Cessie too, but she's not going to remark on it for now. At least they apologized. Though as usual Cora seemed less sincere about it.

    [AMEN Debrief==> Infirmary]

    Anika sticks out her tongue at what she easily recognize as a joke. "Someone with so many children being concerned about little ol' me? I bet if your lady was here, she'd laugh. She must be used to it by now! By being daring I'm just showing how qualified I am to be in VIGIL." Anika remarks with a sagely nod. "I mean, I always call out hunks wherever they are married or not. Giving people special tratment would be marriageism, or hunkism... or something."

    Then off to the infirmary they go I suppose if Adir wants to tag along there. He might be curious about this fake Ilpholin. Anika sure is. Her eyes looked wrong for one...

    Commanders' Village

    Blanche raises an eyebrow at Ithuriel's suggestion, mildly impressed at how quickly the angel had thought up the idea. It seemed like a fairly sound system that would cover her main concerns with Cessie's idea as well. It also sounded very professional, which was a plus.

    Anika gets the gentlest nudge possible as she trails off in thought. "C'mon, stay focused. We'll need to remember this, we can think about those awful combos together later, she directs good-naturedly, giving the night elf a brief little smile.

    Anika and Blanche - Meow’dorei?

    How the Night Elf responds only seems to turn Blanche’s cheeks brighter as she freezes in place, but her expression certainly changes. A complicated surge of emotions plays out as she blinks in slight shock. It was such a relief to hear that Anika was interested in her as well. Maybe she was silly to have fretted so much about it, but it didn’t make it any less of a relief - although it wasn’t exactly the flavor of interest Blanche had secretly hoped to hear from her one day.

    ”G-gosh, I’d uh - er yeah, okay!” Blanche can’t help but cling a little nervously to Anika as she’s mercifully guided along. ”Not er, quite how I pictured it but uh, I can always buy you dinner after?” There’s an attempt to recover that coolness she always tried to maintain.

    Initiation

    Fidelia perks up quite a bit. "Oh! Okay, um, yeah, that'd be great!" She hesitates briefly. "Although, um, I'd like to do some sort of trial too. I want to know if, like, I can be of any help what I can do now.

    Wenomir's eyes widen a little as well, then they narrow and his jaw sets. Only Cessie is likely to notice that the stoic warrior is, on the inside, experiencing sudden, incandescent rage.

    "He what?" He almost snarls. "Magtok is the last person who should get his hands on that filth. I know him and I frequently wish I didn't."

    The phone is ringing! Whose phone is ringing? Well the main line phone. Do they have an operator? Did the operator call in sick today? Then maybe the phone just kinda keeps ringing forever until someone picks up.

    Someone interested in adventure, excitement, making new friends, and investigating a missing person's case.

    Other people probably shouldn't pick up.

    "Yes, I have heard quite a bit about you during Karasu's debriefing, she does seem to respect you." Enitan nods, professional admiration flashing in her eyes as she slightly nods a few times. Especially since Svetlana could have come to meet her instead if not for their differences, and knowing the girl, she wouldn't go for someone less skilled, which tells Enitan a lot about Wenomir's expertise already. "That she came to you rather than me says a lot. You have my respect."

    "You should ask her about her past, it's best to hear from the horse's mouth. Perhaps, then you can guide her in ways that I can't." Concern for Svetlana flashes in her eyes as she speaks, despite her facial expression never straying far from a scowl.

    "I'm not in the habit of probing into people's pasts," Wenomir says. "But if I deem it necessary, I will. Maybe my skill isn't the only reason she came to me. She might just need another environment, where her past only matters as much as she wants it to."

    [Sometime in the PastFuture]

    Fidelia has instructed Calm Reed in the use of the sorcerous artifice known as "phones". One more item that would be the envy of the entire Scarlet Dynasty, used so casually here. But if it lets people inform Vigil of business that they need to take interest in quickly...

    Infirmary

    Something was incredibly wrong with what Ilphy was seeing. She recognized the room, or rather, she thought she would. But for all the little pieces that felt familiar, it was like looking at a picture that had pieces removed while asking "Fill in the blank!". A dream world, a place she both has and has not been before. She was in the Vigil Infirmary, that much was plain, but she couldn't put a finger on why she knew such. The thought of where she was at fills her with anger for a brief instant, but she clamps down on it and grits her teeth while trying to sit up if she isn't restrained to the bed. "How long was I out?"

    [Searching For Birds and Specifically That Funny Looking Bird With the Head Feathers that do that thing and Maybe Anika if she's Around!]

    Lapis sets off!

    She bounds out of her fancy super-special fort and looks around her immediate surroundings. The funny orange and black bird is around sometimes but sometimes not. Lapis is pretty sure it's up to something.

    Now where had she seen Anika before?

    Usually over at one of the training places, right?

    Or just around.

    "Usually Anika isn't a bear, usually she's a really tall purple elf like REALLY tall!" Lapis explains. "She's the only person I know who can turn into a bear but there are others probably."

    Lapis' experience with bear metamorphosis is sharply limited.

    Maybe if she had a larger selection of bear transforming people that she knew she could draw better conclusions.


    [Spooky Aftermath]

    Meanwhile, elsewhen!

    Lapis is still a sheep.

    She's mostly watching the exchange. It's kind of neat getting to see how other kids interact with their parents. These children are WAY less independent than she is! But that's probably because they're mortal children instead of a celestial child who was created to fulfill a particular purpose. She's still hoping that they might invite her over to their house some time since playing tag with them was really fun even if it stopped being a game of tag pretty quick when she started rolling.
