Harmonia and Drew both appear in a puff of smoke. A modest, medium sized building is before them. The sign above the door reads, "The Blue Diamond". Harmonia storms inside, looking for anyone. Drew looks up and down the street to make sure nobody is creeping.

The first room Harmonia enters is a lobby with a desk to the right. The room smells like floral incense. The floor is an orange tile, and the walls are a tan yellow. A fancy chandelier hangs in the center of the room. A woman with powder purple hair sits behind the desk, reading a fashion magazine.

Harmonia goes to the secretary, glaring at her. "You. What did they do to me."

She lowers her magazine. "Harmonia! I am so glad to see you again!"

"What did they do to me." Harmonia demands. "Do not make me get violent."

"Was there something wrong with your treatments?" She grins. Harmonia goes behind the desk and tries to grab her by the throat, but she slaps Harmonia, "I'm...I'm sorry. You scared me." She struggles to try to reach under the counter for something.

Harmonia slams her against the wall, seemingly unfazed by the slap. "WHAT DID THEY PUT INTO ME-" Shes not applying much pressure. "What did they put into me! What did the powder puff mean by putting a goddess in me!"

She smiles at Harmonia. "You are so beautiful, Dear.", she says but it appears as if she is talking past Harmonia and not to her.

Drew just stands there twirling his staff in his hands.

Secretary shifts her gaze to Drew. "Could you get her off of me, please?"

Harmonia growls. "WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME! ANSWER ME!"

She widens her eyes sarcasticly, "I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO YOU!"

He grabs harm around the waist and pulls her back.

Harmonia tries to get at the secretary, pissed off.

"Thank you, Dear. She has quite the temper." Secretary takes a few steps back.

"STOP TREATING ME LIKE A CHILD. WHAT DID THEY DO TO ME."

"Can I get you two a drink? We can have a seat in the conference room and talk this misunderstanding out... Like adults." she glares at Harmonia at the mention of 'adult'.

Harmonia fucking GROWLS at her, "I'm not drinking anything you give me."

"Fair." Secretary says, "And you, Drew?"

"I got my own, thanks.". He claps and a can of Monster appears in his hand.

Harmonia is just growling at the secretary. "What did they put in my body. Tell me."

"To the conference room then?" she is ignoring Harmonia completely.

"Fine." Harmonia growls

The woman leads the two to the first door on the right. Inside is a long desk with many chairs. She sits at the far end. Harmonia doesn't sit. Drew sits back in a chair with his feet on the table. As soon as the woman is seated, she very carefully and slowly presses a button on the underside of that table.

"So, what all do you two know about reincarnation?"

"I know what it is." Harmonia replies.

"Every 42 years... The goddess Mara comes to earth... but she requires a vessel. This vessel is chosen at the time of her arrival by an existing servant of Mara. This vessel will be both a companion and guide for the developing goddess."

"So you've made me into a vessel." Harmonia growls, "Without my consent."

"Incorrect. You were already chosen. The goddess filled you then, but this was MANY years ago. All we did was wake her up... by applying a little pressure... Like acupuncture. We didn't put anything in you."

"So it sounds like she was chosen without consent then." Drew says.

"I dont... so when did she choose me??"

"Perhaps, but who are we to question the gods?" she addresses Harmonia, "When you were 6 years of age."

Harmonia sits down. "Why... I'm so confused...."

"Because she knew you would become a compatible host when you took a part of his soul..."

"Thrall's??"

"Yes, Thrall. Who's to say she didn't influence that whole ordeal? I don't pretend to know all of Mara's will."

"Gods... Why is it always Gods...." Drew mutters.

Harmonia just. Places her head in her hands.

Secretary laughs at Drew's remarks, amused. "Because they represent the will of the Fates. So, let's cut to the chase... What do you want me to do about any of this?"

"Just... they... so what did they do to me exactly? Besides activate the goddess..."

"Gave you this spa's top treatment." She laughs. "That's all."

"I dont believe you..."

"Yeah gonna press x to doubt on that one." Drew says.

Two very large Purple Powderpuffs enter the conference room behind them, "Is there a problem, lady Lavender?"

Harmonia looks up.

The Secretary, Lavender, asks, "I don't know, is there?" she eyes Harmonia and Drew.

Harmonia glares back. "You're not telling the full truth."

"I am telling you all I know..." Lavender says, "Not everyone is required to know everything... People like me just know what is needed. That's all I have."

"Ah, the hired muscle." Drew smirks. "Then get your boss in here."

One of the Powderpuffs snorts at Drew. Harmonia is shaking and tries to find the spot on the back of her head that the powder puff had touched.

The Lavender seems confused. "Are you okay, Dear?" Her entire demeanor changed.

"Drew, can you scan my body to see if anythings there at your facility?"

"Yeah, simple."

Harmonia touches her forehead where the pimple was

"What is going on here?" the Lavender chuckles. "I am afraid I spaced out there, for a moment."

Harmonia touches the back of her head again, watching the woman.

"You said you didn't know anything, I told you to call your boss." Drew says.

"Kim isn't available at the moment... I can give her your number." Lavender says. Her demeanor changes back, "So, what will it be, Harmonia?"

"What will what be?" Harmonia asks in return, keeping her hand in place.

Lavender seems confused, "I...I don't understand what's happening." The Powderpuffs take a few steps forward.

Harmonia runs her hand up and down the back of her head to see what happens. Drew puts his hand on his staff.

"You two need to leave.", one of the Powderpuffs says. The woman starts crying.

"How am I affecting her?" Harmonia furrows her brow.

She looks toward the Powderpuffs, "Let us all just go home."

"No."

Lavender turns to Harmonia, "You're on their side?"

"Who's they?"

She points at the Powderpuffs

"What do you mean I'm on their side?" Harmonia asks.

Suddenly, the lady is back to the first state. Harmonia looks to Drew like wtf is happening.

"What do you want from me? That's all I know!" Lavender says.

Harmonia takes her hand away from the back of her head, "What the hell...."

Drew looks at Harmonia, raising his eyebrows.

"Everyone... Please, just leave. I told you everything."

"Okay..." Harmonia looks to Drew. "Wanna just teleport?"

"Hold on a second..." He looks at the woman at the head of the table. "Are you positive you told us everything?"

A tear runs down her cheek, "Unfortunately, I did. Take care of her."

"Are you okay? Are you in danger?"

She smiles weakly, "Yeah, I'm good."

"Okay..." Harmonia looks a tad nervous.

"I just remembered a lot today."

"What did you remember?"

"Everything."

"Alright... good luck."

"Same to you."

Drew, scrolling on Twitter, send a telepathic message to Luna, -"Hey Luna, don't react, it's Drew. Apparently I have telepathy now too. Am I reading twitter right? Byleth is trying to take one of the kids?"-

Luna responds, {"Drew, Byleth is trying to take Temen, the birth child of Nammu, Rhee, Byleth, and Athan."}

Drew swings his legs down from the table and stands up.

"Ready to go, Drew?" Harmonia asks.

"Yeah... We can head out if you're ready."

"I'm ready. Are you okay if we just head home for now?"

"Yes, please do...", the woman says, rubbing her temples.

"Yeah." Drew walks over and puts his hand on Harmonia's shoulder again. They disappear in a flash of gold light.

The woman looks to the Purple Powderpuffs.

"Hahaha, it was a tough part to play, but it looks like I fooled them!"

They stare at her blankly.

"You can go now."

They step forward, "You know we can't, Blanche." Both suddenly rush at her. She screams, trying to break for the door. One of the Powderpuffs grabs her and throws her on top of the table. She struggles to free herself. The other approaches from the side. "I'm sure going to miss you, Blanche. You were my favorite Operator Lavender."

"I am not Blanche! I only lost control for a moment."

He sighs, "I'm sorry, but you have expired."

Long needles come from under his nails. He violently jabs them into Blanche's stomach. She screams. His fingers begin convulsing, and Blanche begins to thrash about, screaming bloodly murder. Her stomach begins to retract toward her back, as all of her insides are liquefied and sucked into the Powderpuff's arms. His arms begin to swell with her fluids. Blanche gasps, beating on the Powderpuff's hands in one final attempt to stop him. She stops, looks into his eyes pleading for her life, then seizes up and falls limp. The Powderpuff continues his work until the body is completely drained. Then the two of them eat the remaining skin and bones and go to get the cleaning supplies for the table.

There's a gold flash, Drew and Harmonia appear back in the living room.

Luna, {"Basically an ultra-powerful God designed to cause apokalypsis, basically the Ends of all Worlds."} Luna ex

Harmonia yawns before hugging Drew. He hugs her back. Looking over at Luna he says outloud, "Why would anyone consent to giving them a kid?"

"Because Nammu, bless her heart, was in Despair at that point. And she really didn't care... anymore... so she erm...let's just say lots and lots of sex"

"Icon honestly," Harmonia says. Lock covers her face.

"Sorry Lock." Luna sighs.

"I don't mind, just parental controls," she says, muffled.

"Arimidex was worried about CERBERUS giving them a run for their money??? GOD DAMN." Enoch adds to the conversation, divinely.

" Σ€ β²₯πšπ’ π•₯ᴑ𝗽 π–™β„Žπ–Ίπ“‰, π¬π“½β…ˆπžβ€”." Kade forces his mouth shut.

Drew hugs Harmonia tighter, eyes misting. "Let me know when you're ready for that scan thing.

"So basically, she had a cambion, basically a child with a God father, a Mortal father, and a Demon father. Pieces of which we, the Marked, are trying to rescue before Byleth gets them." Luna says, "Four vessels, basically think zelda 1 triforces. And Byleth is Ganon."

Lock takes her hands down, "Cat scans?"

"I will... just remember that I love you." Harmonia whispers to Drew. (THIS IS PLATONIC YOU FUCKHEADS)

"Why does that seem like you're saying goodbye?" He jokes.

"Im not! I just.... I realized I dont think I've ever said it before."

"I love you too, kid." He whispers back. He's almost fully crying at this point.

"Ha ha, you have emotions," Lock laughs as she points at Drew. Drew snaps his fingers and a bandanna appears tied around Locks mouth.

"Hey," he whispers to Harmonia, wiping his eyes. "I need to talk to you about something later."

"Do you wanna talk now? We can go in the other room"

"Yeah, I've been putting it off long enough I guess."

"My room? Or your room?"

"Uhh, it doesn't matter I guess my room is fine."

"Sweet." Harm smiles at him

They leave the room for the hallway.

Drew enters his room and holds the door open. Harmonia walks in!

"So." He says. "You want to hear something crazy?"

"Yeah"

"Check this out." He says, and closes his eyes. He grows a few feet, his eyes and mouth melt away, and his skin morphs into a black tuxedo.

"YOOO THATS BANGER"

He telepathically says, "It turns out I'm a Dromen now."

"THATS AMAZING I THINK"

He turns back. "That's why I've been so testy lately, I'm just dealing with what this means."

"I see... Well, I think its good mostly! Means your even more badass" she teases.

"Anyway, that's the big thing going on now. I'm trying to tell everyone personally but I might just call a group meeting."

"Yeah I see." Harmonia hugs him again.

"Thanks for being cool about this." He hugs her back.

"Of course! I mean itd be silly if I wasnt. You were cool about me becoming a demon."

"To be fair I spent a month not existing before I found out."

"Yeah thats fair."

"Anyway, anything new with you? Besides being the vessel of a goddess or whatever."

"Not really. Besides the Naomi stuff I've just been vibin I guess"

"Yeah I know nothing about the Naomi stuff except what I learned today, and why is it always Gods and goddesses? Whatever happened to good old fashioned entities?" He laughs. "I'm one to talk though, running around trying and failing to prevent the awakening of a Great Old One."

"Yeah... I dunno." Harmonia laughs a little. "Dont beat yourself up about that. I mean thats like. Literally a great old one sooo"

"I know, I'm just tired of things that call themselves gods. Except 343, he's a cool dude."

"Yeah... I mean... I dunno." Harmonia sighs, rubbing her eyes

"You look beat, go get some sleep."

"Alright.... well, it was good talkin to ya"

"Yeah, and when you're ready for those tests let me know."

"I will. Thanks!" Harm leaves.
