[Alys finds the bedroom via Jacqueline's instructions! There's a woman in the bed who looks just like her mother! There's also a mysterious man at the bedside, who looks just like her father.] * Alys completely ignores her father and runs to her mother. "Mum, are you okay!? I was so worried about you, I didn't know if Dad was telling the truth, and then I heard that they'd rescued you, and I know you can't really take care of yourself so I was worried!" [She doesn't answer! She's unconscious.] [Alan helpfully informs Alys, "She's unconscious."] * Alys turns around and glares at Alan. "I noticed! What are you doing here, anyway? I thought you were off being evil." ["Alys, I told you I didn't have a choice. Asahara was threatening to hurt your mother. But when I saw they were going to rescue her, I had to help out."] I can't believe you let them get her in the first place. And don't tell me after almost ten -years-, you couldn't get her out of there on your own. ["Alys, I didn't tell you in order to protect you! If you knew about it, they'd have come for you and Alex, too!"] And you stopped sending us money, and we had to move, and... and it's all your fault... * Alys starts crying and turns to face the wall. [Alan stands there silently for a while, then turns his head and closes his eyes. "I'm sorry."] * Alys stops crying after a minute or two. She turns back to look at Deirdre. "Alex is okay, if you were wondering. What's... wrong with her?" ["I don't know. She hasn't woken up yet."] How long has she been like this? ["Since we rescued her. I'm not sure what..." He blinks as Deirdre's eyes slowly open.] Mum! Are you okay!? It's me, Alys, please be okay. [Khalil arrives just in time for the light show! I greenish light appears above the sheets over Deirdre (Alys's mom!). Also, her dad's there.] * Khalil glances in the bedroom, hanging back for a second until he's invited. Please don't be possessed! I don't know how to deal with possessions! The last time some woman got her body possessed, there were guns and it was just bloody ridiculous! [The light coalesces (sp?) into a familiar figure: Doctor Akira Shibamura. He laughs aloud. "I see you've been reunited, at last."] Fucking hell. Just.... drop dead, okay!? I was trying to talk to my mum! ["Yes, well, don't you worry, my dear. I got her all prepped and ready to see you before heading off."] Very nice. What do you want? I mean, specifically now, not on a grand scale, although that would be okay to know too, I guess. Actually, could you hold on a moment? I didn't handle this very well last time, I'm going to go get my fearless leader. * Alys turns around and blinks. "Oh. Hey Khalil. Could you get Togo, please?" ["Don't mind me." He turns to Alan. "I'm just here to give your father his retirement gift. Nobody deserts Asahara!" Deirdre screams suddenly and starts convulsing.] [Alan gasps and grabs her hand. "What are you doing?!"] * Khalil pales slightly. "Right away." He rushes back! * Alys whirls back around. "Mum! No, oh god no, please..." She's crying again and trying to hold onto her mother. [Akira laughs. "I knew you'd enjoy it. Farewell. Or... not." He vanishes.] ( Gimme a body roll -4, Alys! ) (Made!) [Alys and Alan both manage to dodge out of the way as spike-like white tendrils burst from Deirdre's arms. More tendrils spike out from her back, blowing holes through the walls and ceiling, and a large mound grows beneath the bed sheets over her lower body.] ( Moving to #farm for convenience sake )
