Lock has found her way to Claire’s cottage somehow and knocks on her door. Harmonia answers and brings her in. Seems she is on painkillers following her accident at camp earlier on, and her tail is wrapped up in bandages. Cole Genesone is told to come by and visit.
A paper with a sigil on it slides out from under the couch. It bursts into flames and Kade appears! "I'm HEREEEEE"
Cole appears next to Kade in a puff of black smoke. "Here's the Genesone"
Harmonia looks a tad stressed.
Lock fucking falls over from being pushed "ow. oh wait i cant feelpain rn heheheh"
Cole cracks her fingers and walks over to Lock, "so who's ready for this?"
He looks over to the batch of misfits "What the fuck."
Lock looks loopily over at Cole.
Cole crouches down "So does anyone object to removing her soul to fix the memory thing?"
"stiblerstoober huh? Ifi took morbfeen doesthatmean IM morbius?"
Harmonia shakes her head. "I mean.. go off?"
"...drunk Lock is never something I would have expected to hear." Cole sighs, shakes her head, and plunges her hand into Lock's chest and fishes around for a soul.
Lock snickers as he finds a soul.
"Nighty night, Lock" Cole takes her soul out
Lock goes limp. The soul looks like a black orb with small white stars. It is wrapped by a mobius strip of pure gold.
Cole reaches into the soul and pulls out a reel of film as she starts looking for the old memories. "Casually doing soul bullshit in the same house I made a bar in that one time."
As he's pulling out more film and getting closer to the start to Lock's life, the lights flicker some. Theres a growing feeling of good luck.
Harmonia watches. Cole keeps pulling as she smiles. "Casually."
Kade blinks slowly.
The front door swings open as Cole reaches a part of the film that is impossible to visually comprehend. Looking at it causes a headache.
Harmonia looks towards the door
Cole groans and checks if there's more film "...shit."
The film just keeps going and is getting harder to pull from the soul. A long thin arm reaches in through the door. It moves as if suspended in water.
Cole keeps pulling as she groans, "I just need a few more seconnnddss." The film tugs on something holding it in place.
Harmonia tries to tackle the arm. On making contact with the arm, Harmonia is given a 3 minute vison of thousands of different beings screaming in rage, pain, and agony with no discernable features or locations.
Cole tries to look at what's holding it in place, "What the fuck come on you piece of garbage."
Kade is fucking confused
It's caught on something in the core of the soul. The arm goes to place a finger on Cole's shoulder, trying to give him the visons.
Harmonia gasps, pulling back fearfully.
Cole snaps to glaring at the finger as an invisible force slams it into a wall. "Back off whore."
Cole reaches into the core of the soul and fishes around for what's holding the film in place.
More arms drift into the room from the door. Arms start covering the view from the windows. The feeling of good luck is getting greater. Another arm goes to grab Coles leg.
Harmonia tries to body block the Frobwobber from Cole.
"Fuck off, cunt!" The arm is forced away by an invisible force as Cole keeps fishing around.
Cole also gets a grasp of something and another arm tries to grab hers. The arms seem to be avoiding Harmonia and Kade.
Cole tries to rip it out as an invisible force forces the other arm away. "I'll never lose, I'll never die!"
It doesn't want to budge. The window is destroyed as a more realistic dark arm with sharp claws lunges into the room and grasps Cole's entire head.
"I SAID FUCK OFF!!" All of the limbs near Cole are forced away by the invisible force as Cole pulls on the core harder. Unfortunately, the realistic-looking arm refuses to move as it grabs Cole by the head and drags her through the window it smashed through. The glass reverses and the window is repaired. Cole is now in the front yard being held by the head in the air. The yard is filled with the three light faces and arms.
Cole pulls as hard as she can as she stares the lights in the face. "I WILL FUCKING DO THIS!"
The soul is struggling to keep hold of it as the lights line up in lines all coming from a center point like sun rays. They all turn into white lights as a large silhouette stands in the center. The arm is bringing Cole closer to it as another arm from the creature reaches forward towards her. The surrounding air starts feeling like she's underwater and breathing is becoming difficult.
Cole keeps pulling as hard as she can as as she holds her breath.
Something shifts in the soul as the film suddenly bursts out from the soul. A broken sun shaped pendant is flung out with the film. Suddenly, Cole's soul aches horribly.
Cole groans as her jacket rips and metal strips surround the soul and film. "SOMETHING WRONG YOU LONG LIMBED BITCH?"
The soul is being pulled by a force towards the being. Cole can faintly see the white face from before.
Metal strips pull the soul back to Cole like a rubber band. "YOU CAN'T HAVE HER SOUL YOU CUNT!"
The soul aches are almost tripling and are an unbearable pain. The soul is still inching ever closer to the being with great force.
The soul is snapped back to Cole just like before as she groans and shakes. Her breathing struggles slightly.
"STOP MAKING MY SOUL ACHE AND FIGHT ME LIKE A MAN!"
The soul is still being pulled towards the being as Cole is hit with continuous 3 minute visions, the same thing Harmonia suffered through.
Cole starts cackling manically as her halo glows bright green. It blinds her and the soul is snapped back to her.
"FUCK YOU BUDDY!" Her tone is manic as lighting strikes all of the three light faces.
The soul glows as the film disappears. The being datameshes out of sight and all effects are gone.
The metal strip shield unravels as she inspects the soul. It's lightly glowing, theres still that small feeling of good luck. Cole fishes around for the reel of film as she lets out a quiet manic giggle. It burns and wont let his hand go through.
"Ow fuck....did that fucking asshole steal her memories?"
Cole exhales angrily as she disappears in a cloud of black smoke then reappears in the kitchen with another puff of black smoke. Harmonia is on the ground, dissociating out of shock. Lock is still limp on the floor.
"Understandable." Cole holds with bated breath and puts Lock's soul back. There are small black smoke wisps coming off of Cole's left side.
Lock takes a sharp breath and blinks
"You alright?" She asks while crouching down.
Harmonia looks over. She gets picked up by Kade and is placed on the couch. Harmonia hugs him. He pets her head back.
Lock brings the inside of her elbow to her face and coughs some.
"I'll give you a second." Cole stands up as she looks Lock over for any wounds.
Lock's now cut in half tail is still wrapped up. She coughs more then scrambles to sink to cough a bit shakily.
"...shit, i'll have to call Boogeyman or something." Cole groans.
Lock coughs up bright red blood as some blood starts coming out from her eyes.
"Oh fuck that's really not good." Cole briskly walks over to Lock, plunges her hand into her back, and fishes around for a soul. It burns to touch. Cole musters her strength and rips it out. It’s taken out and looks to be covered in white flames. Lock slides off the sink and collapses.
"....that fucking asshole changed it." Cole's eyes flicker pink as she growls in anger. "Do you mind if I take Lock and the soul somewhere else?" She asks Harmonia.
Harmonia shakes her head. "Go ahead.." Kade seems to be fine with it too, as he gives a thumbs up.
Cole teleports Lock to Harmonia’s front yard. They appear in a cloud of black smoke, still with Lock’s soul in her hand. She calls out to someone, "Boogeyman? You here?"
Nyx steps out from the trees in her usual dark cloak of shadows.
"Please...my daughter...she is sick." Cole struggles to hold in a manic laugh as she offers the soul to Nyx, keeping the body as far away from her as she can.
"I'll see what I can do." Nyx reaches out to take the soul but quickly pulls her hand away. For a moment, Nyx's actual hand could be seen. She steps back, "Uhm...she'll be ok."
"..don't fucking do this to me right now, fucking fix it!" Lighting strikes in the distance and Cole steps forward.
"It's temporarily cursed. My guess is you were messing with something you shouldn't have been. She will be ok by the morning." Nyx says.
"Can I have your word on that? Meaning if you’re wrong, I will hunt you down to the ends of the earth to fix this."
She stares directly at Nyx.
"I promise. I’ve seen it plenty of times"
"Good. I will watch her and make sure she is alright." Cole sighs in relief.
"Anything else?"
"No, no I'm good." Cole shakes her head
"Very well" Nyx steps back as she vanishes.
The soul still burns. Cole returns Lock’s soul to her body, who is currently on the ground. "God, this is gonna suck for you.
Lock takes a sharp breath in that's interrupted by coughing.
"Sorry about this, but it's gonna last all night."
"Wh-" Lock coughs again as her eyes start to bleed. Cole smells strawberry orange punch.
“I can't control it. Your soul got cursed when I recovered your memories." Cole snaps as a towel appears and she puts it under Lock's eyes.
Lock takes the towel and wipes her eyes as she coughs into it. "A-all I can tas-taste istastes good" She stutters between coughs and she laughs some.
Cole sighs "That's fine, lets just get you inside."
